"Root?"

Jiang Wen handed over the cigar.

"Hmm."

Qin Muchu took it, and after lighting it, he didn't smoke it, his fingers were clamped, and he let the wind blow a little smoke.

Jiang Wen took a puff of his cigar and said suddenly:

"The people who let the catfish in will be hated by the fish, most of the fish are stupid, and some of them are smart and very bad."

Qin Muchu had never explained "Infernal Affairs" to Jiang Wen, and he believed that Han Sanye would not specifically tell Jiang Wen.

But Jiang Wen said it so firmly, and Qin Muchu didn't feel strange at all.

This is also a tacit understanding between them.

Just like many people in the Beijing circle called him at that time, but Jiang Wen didn't, and he didn't call Jiang Wen to explain.

Because it's not necessary, the other party must understand.

The night on Hong Kong Island is like ink, the neon lights in the distance are brilliant and psychedelic and there are also two sparks here, and the breeze blows the mellow aroma of cigars, which is a little sweet and slightly spicy in the nose.

"No one goes to the audition for "Infernal Affairs" is a warning, and it is also a rehearsal, and there may be such a situation in the future, or even more serious, it depends on how you deal with it this time."

Jiang Wen flicked the cigarette ash and looked sideways at Qin Muchu on the guardrail.

The way the first treatment is often the same as the attitude of the subsequent treatment, which is very important.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Muchu has never been able to make up his mind, and he still hasn't thought about it at the moment.

"Haha, stumped?"

Jiang Wen suddenly laughed "haha", raised his hand and slapped Qin Muchu's arm.

"It's easy for me to say."

He put two fingers holding his cigar in front of Qin Muchu:

"Two words, fairness!"

Qin Muchu raised his eyebrows, as if he had caught something, but through the veil, he couldn't see it dimly.

So he asked:

"How fair?"

"Fair audition, they can't get used to you giving Hong Kong Island people food resources, okay, let's speak with acting skills.

All roles are open to auditions, whoever plays well will be on it, if you can play better than the actors on Hong Kong Island, then use you, but if your skills are not as good as others, then don't complain. ”

Qin Muchu's eyes lit up, but in an instant, he found something wrong:

""Infernal Affairs" is a story with a completely Hong Kong Island background, the two protagonists are both natives of Hong Kong Island, and the actors must also have a Hong Kong Island atmosphere, which is a natural disadvantage for mainland actors."

Outsiders and locals play locals together, and if the locals still lose, it is really ridiculous and generous.

This kind of almost inevitable loss game, it is estimated that no one will come to participate.

After all, those who dare to compete for the protagonist of Qin Muchu's movie are at least first-line celebrities, so why bother to be a stepping stone for others.

In this case, the so-called "fairness" does not actually exist, because the proposition is very unfair.

After listening to Qin Muchu's words, Jiang Wen's smile remained unchanged, and he had already thought of it:

"Fairness has to be put in a movie? Isn't there another movie? The male protagonist of "Monster Hunt" doesn't limit where he is, right? Isn't it okay for that character to take it out and rely on his own ability? ”

As if he had been empowered, Qin Muchu only felt suddenly enlightened.

The most "taboo" point of "Infernal Affairs" is that the two male protagonists are both from Hong Kong Island, and according to convention, it should be one Hong Kong Island and one mainland.

The same is true of "Monster Hunt", the heroine is Yang Mi, so the male protagonist should find a Hong Kong Island actor.

But if this role is given to people from both places to compete on a fair footing now, it will be equivalent to compensating for the "taboo" committed by "Infernal Affairs".

Moreover, the younger generation on Hong Kong Island is withering, and the role of the male protagonist of "Monster Hunt" is very likely to be won by the mainland.

The main thing is......

Qin Muchu's eyes flashed, if he set this precedent, would he be able to break that "convention".

In the future, everyone in co-productions will no longer be the same as sharing the cake, you have a role and I have a role, just compete fairly, the capable go up, and the weak go down.

Even non-co-productions, actors from the two places can also "string" each other.

This is the real catfish effect.

The problem that had plagued him for many days was successfully solved, Qin Muchu couldn't help but smile, looked at the old baby and exclaimed:

"Ginger is still old and spicy."

"You, learn."

Jiang Wen took a drag on his cigar and exhaled a long smoke.

Qin Muchu just smiled, it was rare that he didn't refute Jiang Wen, this forced him to pretend.

Bring the cigar to your mouth as well and take a deep breath.

Before I knew it, the wind blew a little bit of the cigar was missing, just enough to burn the part of the cigar tail that should have been cut off.

Now comes the best part......

……

Since April 12, Hong Kong Island Airport has frequently photographed celebrities, and there are all on Hong Kong Island in the mainland.

Reporters are not surprised, because of a major event in the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry, the Academy Awards, one of the "three golds" of the Celestial Empire, is about to begin.

At this time of year, Hong Kong Island is full of stars.

It's just that the stars in the mainland seem to have come earlier this year.

The award ceremony was held on the evening of April 18, and in previous years, many people basically arrived in the afternoon of the same day, and it was rare to be a week in advance.

Don't you run the notice, huh?

On April 16, a low-key man and woman walked out of Hong Kong Island Airport.

The combination of caps, masks, and sunglasses, anyone who sees it knows that this is a star.

When he arrived in the hall, the man stopped and said softly to the girl next to him:

"Baby, you go first, wait for me in the car."

The girl is a well-known new flower baby on Hong Kong Island, and she was a little unhappy when she heard this, and said coquettishly:

"What's the matter, let's go together."

Huang Daming hesitated, and a cough suddenly sounded next to him, making him firm.

Touched the baby's silky hair and said:

"Well, after all, I just broke up now, and it is not good for the media to photograph us together."

baby glanced at the agent next to Huang Daming, that is, the person who had just coughed, and didn't show anything, just nodded helplessly:

"Okay then."

"Well, good, I'll take you to meet my junior brother later, maybe I can get a role."

The baby was much happier than just now, raised his hand, and moved his fingers:

"Then hurry up and get in the car."

"Okay, don't take the luggage, give it to me."

Seeing his girlfriend leave, Huang Daming stood in place for a long time, looking at his girlfriend's back, his eyes were full of satisfaction.

The agent also looked at the baby's back, but his eyes were completely scrutinizing.

Huang Daming turned his head and noticed the agent's eyes, a little helpless:

"Lao Huang, you are still prejudiced against her."

Huang Bing, that is, Huang Daming's agent, also has the title of "one of the top ten agents in the mainland", and has brought many famous artists.

And in addition to the identity of the agent, there are multiple identities such as producer and marketing director.

So he was not stunned in front of Huang Daming, the two had the same status, and the relationship was very iron, so he had no scruples when he spoke:

"It's not prejudice, this girl is definitely not as innocent as she appears, I don't think it's as good as Fei'er."

He said "Fei'er" refers to Li Fei'er, Huang Daming's girlfriend...... Well, I became an ex-girlfriend half a month ago.

If someone else says this, most of them will be angry.

But Huang Daming is not.

First, Huang Bing is not only his agent, but also his partner in the future to break away from Huayi to establish his own studio, the two have related interests, and the artist's love life is not only his own, he still has this awareness.

Second, his character is to listen to persuasion, he listens to the opinions of the people around him, and he himself often asks his good friends what they think of the baby.

Of course, asking questions, whether you believe it or not is two different things.

Huang Bing's opinion of baby has always been bad, Huang Daming knows it, so he doesn't want to dwell on this topic more, so he asks instead:

"How's Fei'er?"

When he asked about this, a look of guilt appeared on his face.

The relationship between him and the baby is actually not so glorious.

He...... Made a mistake that all men make!

Huang Bing knew that Huang Daming was now in love with the baby, and he couldn't listen to anyone's words.

I was helpless in my heart, so I answered:

"I've been in the group for more than a week, and I'm doing well, you know, this scene is [Chao Qin Duchu], and the director is Zheng Xiaolong, so there are not so many messy things.

I heard that I got along well with the actors, didn't I post a photo with her on Weibo two days ago? ”

Huang Daming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and the guilt dissipated slightly.

Huang Bing looked at Huang Daming like this, but he was a little angry:

"What's the magic of baby that fascinates you so much? Do you know how many favors it took to stuff Li Feier into the crew of "Ode to Joy", and how many favors you owe? These will have to be paid back in the future! I want you to pay it back! ”

Huang Daming and baby met in 2009 and didn't take long to be together.

But the key is that Huang Daming at that time was the master, he was a scumbag, but he was a conscientious scumbag, with guilt, he secretly contributed to the casting of "Ode to Joy" last year, and got Li Feier the role of "Qiu Yingying".

In fact, Li Fei'er's appearance does not quite meet the requirements of Qiu Yingying's role, although she is also a lively and cute type, she is still more beautiful than the requirements of "Qiu Yingying".

But isn't the entertainment industry just a personal relationship, making a force, this kind of is not too outrageous, so I will turn a blind eye.

"Affection is also a kind of exchange."

Huang Daming's indifferent appearance made Huang Bing angry for a while.

pinched the bridge of his nose to relieve his anger, things have happened, I can only think in a good direction, and Huang Daming's compensation for Li Fei'er is indeed beneficial:

"I asked people to reveal it to Li Fei'er, you helped her to join the group privately, and your cheating should not be exposed in the future."

I cheated and I knew it was me wrong and felt guilty, so I made amends.

Although there is some blood, at least the attitude is there.

With Huang Bing's understanding of Li Fei'er, she shouldn't make a fuss about this matter and beat Huang Daming.

After all, from the news he received.

Li Feier actually knew about Huang Daming's derailment at the beginning of this year, because someone anonymously sent her photos and chat records of Huang Daming and baby together, but she didn't make a noise, nor did she cry to break up, she just treated it coldly.

is probably the idea of occupying the name and not letting the "dog men and women" succeed.

It wasn't until I joined the group "Ode to Joy" in April that I felt bored and officially proposed to break up.

In other words, if she wanted to destroy Huang Daming, she would have done so a long time ago.

And who is the anonymous person who broke the news, in fact, there is a person who is very suspicious, he mentioned it to Huang Daming, but people don't believe it.

Thinking of this, Huang Bing looked at Huang Daming again and couldn't help but sigh.

What vision this is?

……

In the Emperor Building, a conference room was temporarily requisitioned and used as a place for auditions for "Infernal Affairs".

A row of long tables sits a few people, with cameras behind them, filming from multiple angles the vacant space in front of the room, where the actors audition.

"Give me a chance."

Liu Dehua's eyes were deep and he looked at the man opposite.

"How can I give you a chance?" The man replied.

"I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person."

“……”

This rooftop scene is the most classic scene of Infernal Affairs, and Qin Muchu is now using it for auditions.

After the performance, he took the lead in applauding the two actors in front of him.

"Thank you, thank you."

Zhang Jiahui bowed again and again very modestly, not only to Qin Muchu and a few people, but also to Liu Dehua, who played with him.

Just now he was auditioning for the role of Chen Yongren.

"Teacher Zhang is still the same number as before?"

Qin Muchu asked.

He had a relationship with Zha Hui at the Golden Horse Awards, and he left a number at that time.

"yes, it's still that."

Zhang Jiahui said with a smile.

Ask for contact information, and it means that there is a high probability of getting a role.

"Okay, just a few days, I'll contact you to inform you of the audition results."

Qin Muchu got up and shook hands with Zhang Jiahui and sent him out of the conference room.

He didn't give an accurate answer on the spot, there are many actors who have auditioned Chen Yongren in the past few days, and almost all actors of the right age on Hong Kong Island have come all over again.

The acting skills are very good, each with its own style, and he has to go back to watch the video to decide who to choose.

sent Zhang Jiahui away, and today's audition is over.

He looked at Liu Dehua again.

As Liu Jianming's candidate who was set early, he has been auditioning for the past few days.

Didn't do anything else.

is when the role of Liu Jianming is needed, he personally goes on the stage and plays each audition actor.

This should actually be the job of an assistant director.

The actor auditioned, and he read the lines next to him.

However, the effect is definitely not as good as Liu Dehua's performance in person.

"Brother Hua, it's hard work."

Qin Muchu said sincerely.

"It's not hard, it's also a deepening of my understanding of the role."

Liu Dehua smiled and waved his hand, his expression did not show a trace of falsification.

Qin Muchu was about to say something, when the phone rang.

The audition was over, and the people in the room said hello and went out, including Liu Dehua.

Qin Muchu motioned for Liu Dehua to wait for him outside before looking at the caller ID on his mobile phone.

I was a little surprised, but I was able to get through.

"Senior brother, how do you have time to find me?"

Huang Daming's hearty voice came from the phone:

"Isn't this coming to Hong Kong Island, let's take a look at you, do you have time to have a meal together in the evening, just so I will introduce someone to you."

"Dinner ...... evening"

Qin Muchu is going to invite Liu Dehua to eat tonight.

After all, people have really worked hard these days, and the performance of the actors who audition for him is much better.

He didn't really want to go to Huang Daming's appointment, if it was just Huang Daming alone, he would just shout together.

But Huang Daming also mentioned that he wanted to introduce someone to him, so he asked:

"Who?"

"Don't ask, you'll know when the time comes."

Huang Daming sold Guanzi.

You're pretty domineering.

Qin Muchu secretly complained in his heart, and explained that he was going to invite Liu Dehua to dinner.

It means that if you weigh the weight of the person you want to introduce, if it is not important, I will focus on my side first.

However, Huang Daming was very happy after hearing it:

"That's right, I'm also going to invite Andy to dinner, thank him in person, you two can come together, I'll send you the address on your phone later."

“……”

Hanging up the phone, Qin Muchu was puzzled.

Huang Daming thanks Liu Dehua?

When did these two get into a relationship?
