According to the original plan, Chen Qiming's new album is intended to be released with Chinese songs as the main body, and several songs in different languages in various regional countries.

And now, Warner Records thinks that this will reduce sales, so Chen Qiming naturally has no choice but to comply with his wishes and separate the records in various languages.

Since English, Japanese, and Korean, these three languages need to be issued separately, Chen Qiming's workload at this stage is naturally much less.

His current focus is on Chinese records.

In the next few days, he continued to record songs, recording several songs such as "Trouble with the Moon", "Sad Pacific", and "Moonlight".

It's March.

On 2 March, Chen Qiming flew to Hong Kong.

He will stay in Hong Kong for about a week.

The purpose of this trip is twofold.

First, Liu Weiqiang agreed to shoot "Fengyun" for Qiming Film and Television, but Wong Kar-wai hoped to have an appointment with Chen Qiming.

Chen Qiming thinks that it may be that Wong Kar-wai wants to negotiate terms with him on the grounds of letting Liu Weiqiang make a movie for him.

In this regard, Chen Qiming did not feel inappropriate.

The entertainment industry is like this, everything is an exchange of interests.

Unless it's a good friend, it's absolutely impossible to get someone to give something away for no reason.

And the second thing is the planning of the play "Fengyun".

Since Liu Weiqiang will come to be the director, this project can also be officially established.

How much money to invest and which actors need to be invited, these are all things that need to be prepared in advance.

Especially the actors.

"Fengyun" is a comic with many characters, although the characters have been reduced after being changed to a movie, there are still quite a lot of important characters in it.

Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun are the two protagonists, and Chen Qiming himself can serve as one of them.

But the other one needs to be carefully chosen.

After all, the roles of the two are comparable, and in the case of Chen Qiming, an actor and Asian superstar, the other character must not be bad in popularity and coffee position.

Otherwise, it is easy to turn this play into Chen Qiming's one-man show.

In addition to the other protagonist in Fengyun, several female characters in the movie, as well as Xiongba, Qin Shuang and other characters, all need to be investigated.

After coming to Hong Kong, Chen Qiming first went to meet Liu Weiqiang and Wong Kar-wai.

Oh! In addition to these two, there is also Liu Zhenwei.

The two parties made an appointment at a tea restaurant.

[Needless to say, whether it's right or wrong]

[Whether it's resentment or love, it doesn't have to be revealed]

[What is more important than the needs of the two hearts]

[How can tenderness and sweetness be missing]

There was a burst of music across the café.

It's Alan Tam's "Can't Say Goodbye".

Although Alan Tam has long ceased to receive awards, he has released records every year in recent years.

Each record has sold very well.

Among them, the "Dream Smile", which was released in January, quickly became popular all over Hong Kong with the "Can't Say Goodbye" and "Goodbye is Tears" in it.

"You mean, if Mr. Liu Weiqiang comes to shoot "Fengyun" for me, I will come to play the leading role in your play?"

On the second floor of the tea restaurant, after listening to the words of Wong Kar-wai and Liu Zhenwei, Chen Qiming couldn't help frowning and asked.

"No, we're not in exchange, we mean we want you to star in this movie!"

Liu Zhenwei corrected.

After a pause, he pointed to Wong Kar-wai and said to Chen Qiming: "He knows what he can do, our movie may not make your box office appeal a big hit, but in terms of awards, we are very confident." ”

Chen Qiming nodded.

He believed it.

After all, as a special pit producer's goods.

Wong Kar-wai's movies may not get a high box office, but in terms of winning awards, there is really no need to boast.

Regarding the box office, in fact, Chen Qiming is not too persistent.

If you want to win the box office, he just picks those commercial movies to act.

It's a prize.

To tell the truth, if he cooperates with a commercial director, he may not have the opportunity to win the actor again.

However, Chen Qiming was also hesitant about Wong Kar-wai's filming speed.

This guy has a great reputation, and he is famous for wanting to shoot a little bit of existence.

Chen Qiming was afraid that he would be trapped in this pit.

If he couldn't shoot all the time, then wouldn't he have to wait every day.

Therefore, he asked Wong Kar-wai directly, "May I ask, how long will this drama be filmed?" ”

As he spoke, he spread his hands, "If I take over your play, I will definitely run at both ends at that time, filming your drama while filming "Fengyun".

So, I don't want to shoot too long! ”

Hearing this, Liu Zhenwei next to him couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth and glanced at Wong Kar-wai.

Wong Kar-wai likes to drag things when filming, and now almost everyone knows about it.

Especially the 92-year-old "East Evil and West Poison".

This movie was filmed directly for more than a year, delaying both the investors and the actors.

Now, Wong Kar-wai is looking for actors to film, and the first thing many people do is to ask how long they will be filming.

"How much free time do you have?"

Wong Kar-wai touched the sunglasses he was still wearing and asked.

"Two months, I only have two months at most.

If it exceeds this time, I hope the crew will let me go! ”

Chen Qiming said.

Hearing this, Wong Kar-wai groaned a little and nodded directly, "Yes, it's only two months!" ”

When Liu Zhenwei next to him heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help but kick Wong Kar-wai from under the table.

Two months of filming time.

If someone else said this, Liu Zhenwei would absolutely believe it.

But Wong Kar-wai, he didn't believe it at all.

He knows this guy too well.

When filming "East Evil and West Poison", because he couldn't shoot anything in tow, the investors on the treasure island said that they were going to cut him.

In the end, he went out by himself and pulled a large number of actors from the crew of "East Evil and West Poison" to come out to save the emergency, which saved him from being cut.

This guy is actually doing this again, which makes Liu Zhenwei can't help but want to beat people.

“OK！ That's fine! ”

Hearing this, Chen Qiming smiled.

Anyway, he had already said in advance, and if he couldn't finish filming in two months, he couldn't be blamed for leaving.

After a pause, he asked, "Can you tell me about the script?" What role do I play? ”

Wong Kar-wai blew the tea in front of him, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he said: "The story takes place in Chungking Mansion, your character ...... Police! You play the policeman! ”

Chen Qiming: "......"

He was speechless.

From Wong Kar-wai's words, he clearly felt that this guy might not have prepared a script until now.

Even, the policeman he played may have been improvised by him just now.

Glancing at Liu Zhenwei, Chen Qiming was a little sympathetic to him.

With such a friend on the stall, Liu Zhenwei has taken on a lot!

In the last "East Evil and West Poison", Chen Qiming heard that several filmmakers on the island were very angry.

Even the knife hand is ready, if Wong Kar-wai can't deliver the film on time, they will have people go to Hong Kong to cut him.

This matter seems to have been carried down by Liu Zhenwei.

It's no wonder that Liu Zhenwei was bald early, and I'm afraid he was worried about Wong Kar-wai's affairs.

However, this has nothing to do with him Chen Qiming at all.

As soon as he received the money to act.

It's not a movie that I invested in, and whether the movie is successful or not has little to do with me.

The big deal is that after success, I may win an award for this play.

If it doesn't work, to be honest, it won't affect him much.

Since Wong Kar-wai hasn't come up with a script yet, Chen Qiming no longer mentions this issue, and after chatting with a few people for a while, he went back to Qiming Film and Television directly.

is different from the last time I invested in "New Love", at that time, Qiming Film and Television was an investor, and the producer was Er Dongsheng's company.

This time "Fengyun" is different, this time, the investment and production will be completed by Qiming Film and Television.

Therefore, in order to make the movie successful, Chen Qiming expanded Qiming Film and Television.

It was officially registered as a film and television production company.

As soon as he returned to Qiming Film and Television, Chen Qiming immediately arranged for someone to start forming the crew of "Fengyun".

In addition, he also began to invite some actors to audition according to the information in his dream.

Chen Qiming finally decided to play the role of Bu Jingyun himself.

Therefore, the other protagonist, Nie Feng, needs to be very exquisite.

Chen Qiming's first thought was Andy Lau.

Although this guy's appearance is a little worse than himself, his popularity is not bad.

If he joins in, the two of them will be able to combine their swords, and the blessing of the movie will definitely be huge.

However, after Chen Qiming called Andy Lau, he learned that his May and June schedule was full.

He has reached an agreement with China Star to star in "Chariots of Fire", which is produced by China Star and directed by Er Dongsheng.

Well, Chen Qiming has an impression of this play.

At the Golden Horse Awards banquet some time ago, Boss Xiang approached him, and Boss Xiang was ready to let him star in this movie, but Chen Qiming refused on the grounds that he was too busy.

Later, after some selection, Andy Lau was finally chosen as the starring role.

Andy Lau can't act, Chen Qiming naturally can't force it.

He can only look at other people.

In the entire Hong Kong and Taiwan regions, there are only a few people who can play the double male protagonist with him.

In the end, after choosing between Liming and Aaron Kwok, Chen Qiming decided to invite Liming to play the role of Nie Feng.

Not to mention, the role of Liming and Nie Feng is really quite compatible.

Nie Feng is nicknamed Fengshen and has an elegant and easy-going personality.

It's really like Dawn.

On March 5, Chen Qiming invited Liming to have a meal, and then took the initiative to send him an invitation.

Dawn briefly read the script and agreed.

In this way, the two male protagonists have been confirmed.

The other characters Chen Qiming did not ask in person, but handed them over to the senior management of Qiming Film and Television and handed them over to solve it.

Oh, Xu Shujuan's role has also been confirmed.

Since he decided to give her a role, Chen Qiming naturally will not break his promise.

In the end, the role of Chu Chu was given to her to play.

However, the drama "Fengyun" is still in the planning stage, and it will take some time to shoot.

During the period from March to April, the main task of the crew was to set up exterior locations and contact special effects companies.

There will be a lot of special effects in this drama, and the company here in Hong Kong will definitely not be able to complete it, so Chen Qiming can only ask people to contact the special effects companies in Europe and the United States.

After some operation, Chen Qiming looked at the investment budget calculated by the company and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
