Chapter 385: Participating in "The Adventure King"
From the very beginning, Chen Qiming understood that inviting him to dinner to Huasheng was not a simple reconciliation, but something wrong.
And that's exactly what happened.
A few people entered the private room, and after a while, the dishes came up, and Xiang Huasheng told his purpose.
His purpose is simple.
He wants to make a movie with Qiming Film and Television.
Qiming is responsible for publicity and distribution, and they Yongsheng is responsible for production.
Well, in fact, to put it bluntly, Yongsheng hopes to cooperate with Pacific Cinemas.
It's no surprise that since Chan Kai Ming acquired Wing Gao Cinemas and reorganized and expanded it, Pacific Cinemas has become more and more famous in Hong Kong.
Since last year, Pacific Cinemas has signed the release rights of several popular works.
Including Chen Qiming's own "Python Disaster", Liming's "Death is Coming", Andy Lau's "Chariots of Fire", and Wang Jing's "People in the Rivers and Lakes".
A large number of popular works were released in Pacific Cinemas, making Pacific Cinemas famous and becoming a quality-assured cinema chain.
Therefore, most fans will support the movies released in Pacific Theaters.
This year, while the income of the entire film industry is shrinking, Pacific Cinemas is still ensuring a very considerable income.
In this day and age, companies that can generate income are obviously good companies.
Yongsheng also apparently hopes to cooperate with theaters that can increase revenue.
As a result, there was a situation where Xiang Huasheng reconciled with Chen Qiming, and was willing to give up part of his interests and chose to cooperate with Pacific Cinemas.
As for how to cooperate, he put forward his opinions to Huasheng.
He hopes that Qiming Film and Television can join them in a new project.
When Chen Qiming first heard about this project, he felt a little familiar.
Finally, after hearing Xiang Huasheng say that he would let his generals join and star in this project, and even said that there was a role that was very suitable for Chen Qiming, Chen Qiming immediately came up with a project in his mind.
"Adventure King"!
In the Future Library, Jet Li's 1996 work.
As soon as he thought of this work, Chen Qiming immediately resurfaced the role played by Takeshi Kaneshiro.
Obviously, Xiang Huasheng wants him to play this role.
Recalling some of the circumstances about this character in the dream, Chen Qiming couldn't help but shake his head.
He looked directly at Xiang Huasheng, "I shouldn't have time to participate in this role, I can let the Pacific side take care of the investment and distribution of the film, but if you participate, forget it." ”
The reason why he refused to participate in the show was not that Chen Qiming was too busy and had no time.
It's that he simply doesn't want to act.
The name of this play is "The King of Adventure", and the protagonist will naturally only be the King of Adventure played by Jet Li.
If Chen Qiming was asked to participate in this role when he first debuted, he would definitely raise his hands in favor.
But for now......
It is no exaggeration to say that in the current Hong Kong and Taiwan, although Chen Qiming has not formed his own film style.
But in terms of box office appeal, he Chen Qiming is definitely not inferior to Jet Li.
Therefore, let him match Jet Li, even if he is willing, it is impossible for the interest groups behind him to agree.
Although the coffee position is invisible or touchable, it is a real existence.
Chen Qiming's own career has been on the rise in the past few years.
has a very good status in the Chinese music and film circles.
In this case, if he matches Jet Li, what will others think? What will fans think?
Does he feel that he himself feels that his status is inferior to Jet Li?
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to match Jet Li.
It's okay to make a cameo.
Because the cameo itself is only a scene of one or two minutes or a few minutes, there is no so-called coffee position dispute.
Jet Li's movies are still very profitable in general, and if he has the opportunity to participate, Chen Qiming naturally can't ignore it, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"I can't act, but I can recommend someone!"
"Who?" Xiang Huasheng was still thinking about who was enough to match Jet Li's appeal and popularity, but he couldn't steal Jet Li's limelight, but as soon as he heard Chen Qiming's recommendation, he immediately asked.
"I think Takeshi Kaneshiro is a good fit, he has a lot of popularity all over Asia, he has a lot of fans.
He has also been actively participating in movies in the past two years, and starring him should be very suitable! ”
Although I can't look down on Takeshi Kaneshiro's inexplicable way.
But Chen Qiming personally has no opinion on Takeshi Kaneshiro.
On the contrary, because the two have worked in the same company, they have a good relationship.
In the past two years, Takeshi Kaneshiro's career has also ushered in a wave of small explosions.
He gave up his music career and now concentrates on film.
He has been involved in several projects over the past few years.
participated in "Fengyun" and "Chongqing Forest" with Chen Qiming, and starred in "Fallen Angel".
In addition, on the side of Treasure Island, Changhong is now supporting him, allowing him to participate in several projects with Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen, among them, "Chinese Dragon" made him popular with the help of the fame of the two small ones.
At present, among the new actors who have debuted in Hong Kong and Taiwan in recent years, he can be said to be second only to Chen Qiming, although this gap is a bit big......
In short, in Chen Qiming's opinion, Takeshi Kaneshiro is the most suitable for this role.
And, in the dream, isn't this character his......
"Takeshi Kaneshiro!" Hearing Chen Qiming's recommendation, Xiang Huasheng nodded thoughtfully.
Then he looked at Chen Qiming again and said with a smile: "Takeshi Kaneshiro and you are the same brothers, otherwise, you can help invite him over there!" ”
Seeing this, Chen Qiming immediately understood his thoughts.
This guy wants to be paid.
Invited by Yongsheng and invited by Chen Qiming, although they are both invitations, they represent different meanings.
Yongsheng invited, then you have to pay Takeshi Kaneshiro according to the market price.
But if Chen Qiming invites, with his affection for Takeshi Kaneshiro, the salary will definitely be much lower, and it is not impossible to let Takeshi Kaneshiro act for free.
"This is what Yongsheng is responsible for! I don't participate, I only give advice! ”
Chen Qiming is not a fool either.
Although Chen Qiming was involved in this project, he was not the dominant presence.
In this case, let him spend favors to make clothes for Yongsheng, how could he be willing.
Therefore, he refused without hesitation.
Seeing that Chen Qiming disagreed, he smiled at Hua Sheng, did not continue to persuade, and instead discussed the director of the film with Chen Qiming.
Xiang Huasheng has a soft spot for Tsui Hark.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted Chen Qiming to ask Tsui Hark to direct.
Tsui Hark is one of Hong Kong's best-known commercial directors.
Almost all of his action martial arts films are big hits.
In addition, Jet Li and Tsui Hark have a successful precedent, so his first choice is Tsui Hark.
Originally, Chen Qiming's first choice was also Tsui Hark.
But thinking that Tsui Hark was making his first animated film, and the original director of this movie was not Tsui Hark but Cheng Xiaodong, Chen Qiming did not reply immediately.
He needed to ask about Tsui Hark's intentions.
If he agrees, it doesn't matter if he directs.
If he doesn't agree, he will choose to let Cheng Xiaodong direct the play.
