The movie "Infernal Affairs" is still in the preparation stage, and the original cast, whether they are directors or actors, has an average age of only eighteen or nineteen years old, so it must not be reproduced.

Lu Zonghao saw that Zhou Runfa wanted to recommend a few people, nodded and said, "If Mr. Zhou has a recommended candidate, he can say it, but whether to hire or not, I need to consider it." ”

Zhou Yunfa said: "In terms of actors, I want to recommend Lu Liangwei and Zhao Yazhi, as well as the director, I want to recommend Liu Guanwei, you may not have heard of this name, but he is a very talented person, and he also filmed his debut film "No Tricks to Win" last year. ”

The name Liu Guanwei is not only familiar to Lu Zonghao, but also thunderous.

Although he is still an unknown director, a series of famous movies such as "Mr. Zombie", "Mr. Phantom", and "Uncle Zombie" in the future are all from him.

In Hong Kong Island, it is easy to hire actors, but it is difficult to find a good director, because the famous directors who are directors basically only cooperate with large companies such as Jiahe and Shaw Brothers, and even if they are found, ordinary small companies will not have them, and they will only buy scripts at most, and will not serve small companies.

Lu Zonghao thought for a while, nodded and said: "Mr. Zhou, you said that Director Liu Guanwei and Lu Liangwei can be considered by me, but Zhao Yazhi has been caught in the whirlpool of public opinion recently, and we still need to think about it." ”

Lu Zonghao is telling the truth, in recent times, Zhao Yazhi's marriage with her first husband Huang Shanwei has come to the end of its breakdown.

In recent years, Zhao Yazhi has become popular with works such as "The Teaching Head", "Chu Liuxiang", and "Shanghai Tang", but her private life is also very chaotic, and the media have also seized the opportunity of her popularity and are hyping her black material.

First of all, in 77, there was a scandal when she co-produced the national drama "The Great Revenge" with Zheng Shaoqiu, and various tabloids reported that she and Zheng Shaoqiu went to the hotel for a private meeting, and even Zheng Shaoqiu's wife at the time, "Fat Sister" Shen Dianxia, slapped Zhao Yazhi.

Zheng Shaoqiu was able to become a famous actor on Hong Kong Island, and it was completely pulled up by the fat sister, and because of this incident, he was labeled "ungrateful", which caused the two to break up.

After that, Zhao Yazhi not only did not relent, but in 1978, there was a scandal in the process of cooperating with the popular martial arts star Huang Yuanshen in the movie "Peeling the Wrong Big Teeth and Breaking the Wrong Bone".

At that time, Zhao Yazhi was already pregnant, but the media exposed the news that she and Huang Yuanshen exchanged love letters, and the voices of condemnation came and went, but the two insisted that they were just friends.

At the critical moment, Zhao Yazhi's husband Huang Shanwei stood up and exposed the content of the love letter between the two, making them lose face, not only beating Zhao Yazhi, but also Huang Yuanshen, who became popular with "Huo Yuanjia", chose to become a monk and escaped into the empty door.

Because of this incident, Zhao Yazhi was scolded by everyone, and she didn't receive a play for more than a year, and even the wireless station had the idea of hiding her because of her negative news, and later I don't know how she used to play the female number one in "Shanghai Tang", which became popular again.

However, the momentary explosion could not hide the stain on Zhao Yazhi's body, and even Huang Shanwei bluntly said that Zhao Yazhi was a "slut" when facing the camera.

It is worth mentioning that during the filming of "Shanghai Tang", some media also photographed her going to the hotel with Zhou Yanfa, and her actions were intimate.

Lu Zonghao has no interest in the private lives of these actors, and no matter what the reason for Zhou Yanfa to recommend Zhao Yazhi is, but in his opinion, Zhao Yazhi is not the best candidate for the female number one.

The reason is very simple, Lu Zonghao cultivated Zhou Yanfa, because he has not yet entered the film industry, and if he cultivates him himself, he can sign him under his name and cultivate him into a pillar of Haofeng Pictures.

But Zhao Yazhi's private life is too chaotic, and she has already entered the film industry, not to mention whether Lu Zonghao can successfully sign her into the company's name, even if she successfully signs her, tilting huge resources to cultivate, in case she makes any more scandals one day and collapses the house, all the resources she poured into it will be wasted.

In short, Lu Zonghao is ready to create a basic framework for his film and television company through this first movie, and actors like Zhao Yazhi, who have a very high salary but low rate of return, are not in his consideration.

Zhou Yanfa still seemed a little reluctant to give up on Lu Zonghao's refusal: "Mr. Lu, Zhao Yazhi has indeed encountered some troubles recently, but her acting skills are beyond doubt!" You also said that looking for me took a fancy to my own traffic, if this new film can be starred by me and Zhao Yazhi and Lu Liangwei at the same time, it can continue the popularity of Shanghai Tang......"

Lu Zonghao showed a faint smile: "Mr. Zhou, you have also seen it, Infernal Affairs itself is a good script, it can completely create new heat for you, if you want to transform successfully, you can't just live in one character, once the audience forms a stereotype of you, this is a shackle." ”

Zhou Yanfa saw that Lu Zonghao rejected him twice, so he knew that there was nothing to talk about about this matter, so he had to give up: "Since we have decided to cooperate, let's talk about the shooting time, and I can also set aside the schedule." ”

Lu Zonghao responded: "The start-up time is set for a month later, please set aside two months for each of you, no problem, right?" ”

Ren Dahua himself is a small actor, and he hasn't been filming much recently, so he agreed: "I'm fine!" ”

However, Zhou Yunfa was a little embarrassed: "The "Road Ahead" we are currently filming is expected to be completed in two months, if I have to shoot a month later, I can only run back and forth between the two sets, and then go to work on the other side after finishing work." ”

"That's fine."

Lu Zonghao had temporarily poached Zhou Runfa, and it was not good to force him to give priority to making his own movies like the underworld: "But I still hope that you can arrange your time reasonably and don't delay our normal shooting." ”

After drinking two cups of tea for a few people, even if the cooperation was officially finalized, Lu Zonghao originally wanted to invite Zhou Runfa to drink a few cups, but Zhou Yanfa shirked because he still had a morning scene to shoot the next morning.

Lu Zonghao learned that Zhou Yanfa and the two came by taxi, so he asked Hong Guoju to send the two back.

Downstairs at Chow Yun-fat's house, Ren Dahua handed over a cigarette and said with a smile: "Brother Fa, 200,000 yuan to make a film, with your current coffee position, this is no longer a self-depreciation, but a tearful sale!" If Boss Shao knew about it, he would definitely be very dissatisfied! ”

Zhou Yanfa showed a wry smile: "The price is indeed very low, but this drama is also really good, it is different from all the genres on the market at present, and I really want to seize this opportunity and fight once." ”
