In 2004, relations between Hong Kong Island and the mainland were acceptable, and there were many tourists on the streets, and many of them knew that they were from the mainland as soon as they heard the accent.

But the waiter on Hong Kong Island.

It's all a bunch of fucked people, they are not actually targeting mainlanders, whether it is Japan and South Korea, or Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, as long as they don't speak English, they all look like dead fathers.

Li Shengyao and his two assistants came to a relatively high-end tea house at this time, and they could still hear the waiter spraying some swear words in Cantonese from time to time.

Li Shengyao automatically blocked these things that made people have negative emotions, lit the table, and looked out the window.

When he came to Hong Kong Island this time, he wanted to invite an actor to shoot a TV series.

The waiter didn't bother to pay attention to any virtues.

As soon as I sat down, in less than three minutes, the person who met came.

In his forties, he maintains a very good figure, and his spirit is also very good, he is not an orthodox handsome guy, but he feels good overall, and he is a durable type.

He is the actor with a thousand faces-Liang Jiahui.

"Director Li, I've been waiting for a long time, I'm very sorry, I set off half an hour early, but there was a crash on the road in front of me, and I waited for more than ten minutes."

"Liang Sheng, I just came over, you're welcome."

"Okay, I'll order, you can try the food on Hong Kong Island."

Liang Jiahui's Mandarin is very good, with a little accent, just a little correction.

He is the ideal actor in Li Shengyao's heart.

The male protagonist of the Korean version of "My Uncle" is set to be a middle-level manager of a company in his forties.

This person is the kindest person in this show, he looks very beautiful, graduated from a prestigious university, manages the company, and will be promoted soon.

But in fact, he was ostracized in the company, and his immediate boss was his junior, and his junior brother also greened him.

He also has two brothers who are dragging oil bottles, and he needs to help them regularly.

The Korean version of the male lead Lee Sun-gyun was forty-three years old when he played it.

According to this condition, Li Shengyao set his sights on the 40-year-old China Entertainment actor.

He considered the "Uncle F4" of the world's fire, but gave up one by one.

Chen Daowei's aura is too strong, he stands with a girl in his early twenties, and he has no sense of CP.

is like the drama played by Ni Nick and Liu Shishi later, Chen Daowei and Ni Nick stand together, it is not good, there are more fathers and daughters than confidants.

Chen Baokueh is not like a person who is still entangled in the green queen, he will divorce directly, shout "why is the big husband without a wife", and then find someone to beat the male mistress.

Zhang Guoli? It looks like someone who will hesitate for feelings.

However, Lao Zhang's modern costume is not as attractive as the ancient costume.

"My Uncle" has a love line that seems to be nothing, the heroine is twenty years younger than the male protagonist, but there should be love between men and women.

The setting of the male protagonist is a charismatic middle-aged uncle.

Lao Zhang's appearance and figure don't look like a feeling that can attract a little girl in her early twenties.

As for Wang Zhiwen, although it was popular all over the country in the nineties.

But after two thousand years, the charm value declined rapidly, and he was too thin, and there was no flesh on his face, so he couldn't do it.

Li Shengyao later thought of Liu Yijun, Wu Xiubo and others, but these uncle circle bigwigs were actually too immature at this time.

He then turned his gaze to Hong Kong Island and soon found three suitable people.

These three people are Li Wei, Zhang Xueyou, and Liang Jiahui.

Li Wei's appearance is okay at this time, and he is quite suitable for playing that kind of tangled character.

However, Li Wei has already entered the group "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain" and sealed the training.

Then the next thing is Liang Jiahui and Zhang Xue.

Considering that the Mandarin of the God of Songs is not so good, Li Shengyao was finally determined to be Liang Jiahui.

However, at first he asked his assistant to contact Liang Jiahui's agent, but he was quickly refused.

It's clear that there are concerns on the other side.

Lee then contacted Leung Ka-wai in person and said that he would go to Hong Kong Island in person, so there was this meeting.

Seeing this actor at this time, Li Shengyao secretly observed and was satisfied.

Liang Jiahui is energetic and has an excellent figure, and he can play the male protagonist of "My Uncle".

Later, when the mainland wanted to remake, the actor chose Zhao Youzhu, Li Shengyao felt that the choice was very good, Zhao Youzhu was thirty-nine years old at the time, and he looked somewhat similar to the Korean version of Li Shanjun.

They all belong to the kind of handsome and good-looking people.

In fact, if you look closely, Zhao stopped again, and Li Shanjun is somewhat similar to Liang Jiahui.

Liang Jiahui personally ordered more than a dozen signature snacks, and then beckoned Li Shengyao to try the food.

Li Shengyao was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and ate.

Seeing this, Liang Jiahui smiled even more.

When Li Shengyao observed him just now, he also secretly observed Li Shengyao.

Although he is on Hong Kong Island, of course he has heard of Lee Shengyao, and because TVB has cooperated with Fenghua, TVB often promotes Lee Shengyao.

And Wang Jing, filmmakers who go back to the mainland, will also talk about Li Shengyao.

Everyone's opinion is yes

This person is very talented, but judging from his past interviews, he is not very friendly to the Hong Kong Island film industry.

At this time, seeing Li Shengyao, without any shelf, just like an ordinary beautiful boy, Leung Jiahui felt that it was better to be famous than to meet, Li Shengyao was a person who could be contacted, and he was not full of disgust for Hong Kong Island as the media said.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to talk about things, first they ate a lot, and then they looked at each other and smiled when they were full, and then Li Shengyao said: "Liang Sheng, I want to ask you to act in my new drama, a TV series." ”

Liang Jiahui nodded, he had known about this for a long time, but he had his concerns.

In recent years, the Hong Kong Island film industry has become more and more declining, with fewer and fewer movies and more and more exaggerated, but as a local actor, what can be done?

He is not Cheng Long, he has an international market and can go out.

He also wants to stay on Hong Kong Island to make films.

Before the New Year, there were already many movie crews who greeted him and asked him to set aside a schedule.

If he goes to the mainland to shoot a TV series, it will take at least four months.

Although he was filmed for three months, since he is the leading actor, he naturally has to prepare carefully, and a month is not too much.

In this case, he will have to push off seven or eight crews.

That's right, it's seven or eight crews, although Leung Jiahui's acting skills are top-notch, he has no appeal on Hong Kong Island.

In recent years, they have all played supporting roles, and they are the kind of supporting roles with very few scenes, which is similar to a cameo.

He can appear in more than a dozen Hong Kong Island movies a year.

The salary is naturally not high, so you can only go to the volume.

rejected seven or eight crews at once, and when it was spread, others thought that he was climbing high branches, and with the mainland financier, he forgot his fellow countrymen.

In addition, he doesn't want to be separated from his family for too long, his family is on Hong Kong Island, they have a big house, and the family lives happily, he likes this kind of living environment.

There is a third point, that is, he is afraid that he will not act well.

Liang Jiahui often watches various TV dramas and movies to improve his experience and acting skills.

He naturally also watches mainland dramas, compared with the more life-oriented performances of Hong Kong Island actors, the performances of mainland drama actors are obviously much more formal and serious.

He was afraid that he would not fit in.

At the beginning of the year before last, in order to shoot "Zhou Yu's Train", he prepared for two months, but when he was filming, he was still very worried about this problem.

He then slowly spoke out his decisions and concerns.

also apologized again and again, saying that he would definitely cooperate with Li Shengyao if he had the opportunity in the future.

Li Shengyao shook his head, he had already prepared for Lao Liang's thoughts.

"Liang Sheng, about the first point, I don't think you don't have to worry, the Hong Kong Island film industry is a very realistic place, if you become popular, they will immediately ask you to go back to make movies, and even play the leading actor, which is more effective than you make ten movies."

What movie did Liang Jiahui make last year?

"Falling in Love with Your Bed", "Courtship on the Sign", "20,30,40", "Amazing Dad", "Judo Dragon and Tiger List", "Thousand Machines 2", "Three Watches of Dumplings", "A1 Headlines", "Brave Iron King Kong" and so on.

Except for Zhang Aijia's "20, 30, 40", the others are all messy movies, and after the performance, there will be no repercussions except for getting paid.

Li Shengyao can't look down on these movies, and with Liang's acting skills, playing the supporting roles in these movies is really a pearl in the dust.

Liang Jiahui acted in such a movie, played a hundred films, and was still a supporting role.

It's better to act in a good play.

Li Shengyao then asked his assistant to take out the script of "My Uncle" and handed it to Liang Jiahui, "Look at the script, I still have a few reasons." ”

Liang Jiahui took the script when he heard this, and then looked at it.

Lee Shengyao continued: "Hong Kong Island movies are becoming more and more difficult now, and there are fewer and fewer dramas, so you should come to the mainland and open up a new market." ”

"Now that I'm stuck here, there's no way out."

In fact, since 05, Liang Jiahui has been acting in the mainland more and more frequently.

For example, "On the Taihang Mountain", "Apple", "My Career as a Teacher", and "Song of Long Hatred".

There are not so many supporting roles for him to play on Hong Kong Island, so he can only look for opportunities for mainland dramas or co-productions.

"As for the issue of separating from your family, it's only three or four months, our filming location is Shanghai, and the crew will arrange a five-star suite for you, and your family can go there together at that time."

It is normal to arrange a five-star hotel suite for the leading actor.

Don't give Liang Jiahui, others will act, the same treatment.

Li Shengyao continued: "As for the integration problem you are worried about, Liang Sheng, since I think you can, I have confidence in you. ”

"Everyone sees your acting skills, if you can't integrate into mainland film and television dramas, others will be even worse."

can play the chess king, can play the general with a broken arm, and can play the country teacher.

It can be said that the entire Hong Kong actor is Liang Jiahui.

Li Shengyao finally said: "The salary I gave you is one million, which may be less than your cameo in so many movies, but this TV series is broadcast, and the invisible benefits it brings to you will be very big, much bigger than "Zhou Yu's Train". ”

Although "Zhou Yu's Train" has Liang Jiahui and Gong Li, and it seems to have won some awards, they are all boring pork awards, and the movie actually has no splash, which does not help Liang Jiahui's career.

When Liang Jiahui heard this, he nodded and read the script.

As a middle-aged uncle in his forties, he knows very well that he must be far-sighted and decisive at the same time, so that he can seize opportunities.

He still has a wife and children to raise, and his first consideration is actually to make money.

Li Shengyao's salary does not seem to be very high, but it is actually a first-class price in the mainland TV drama circle.

The Chinese version of this drama has a total of twenty-five episodes, that is, forty-thousand-one episodes, which is the price of Chen Daowei and Zhang Guoli.

Liang Jiahui knew that Li Shengyao was already very sincere.

What Li Shengyao said is indeed reasonable, Hong Kong Island movies are becoming more and more unpopular, and he can still make cameos in more than a dozen movies with word-of-mouth this year, and next year, maybe there will be fewer movies, and if he wants to make a cameo, there is no movie to act.

At that time, he still had to go north to the mainland after all.

Instead of stumbling and bumping into each other and looking for an opportunity with a blank face, it is better to follow Li Shengyao north now.

After all, Li Shengyao's TV series ratings are very good.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

In fact, he wasn't in the mood to read the script just now.

Hong Kong Island artist, it's good to have food at this time, who will read the script seriously, it can't be more outrageous than the movie scripts he played.

But after all, it was not a trivial matter, and he wanted to discuss it with his family.

"Director Li, give me a few minutes, and I'll discuss it with my family."

"No problem."

Liang Jiahui nodded, then left with his mobile phone, and he went outside to make a call.

Li Shengyao knew that Lao Liang was moved, this matter is actually very easy to judge, and smart people should know how to choose.

refused for the first time, but I was afraid that Fenghua's sincerity would be insufficient, and it would be difficult to talk about the treatment and remuneration at that time.

He is now here in person, giving enough face.

Lee believes Leung Ka-hui will agree.

Three minutes later, Liang Jiahui came back, and he stretched out his hand, "Director Li, after careful consideration by our family, I agree to your invitation, and in the next four months, please give me more advice." ”

"Don't dare, we learn from each other."

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Liang Sheng, you won't regret this decision, you will see scenery that you can't see on Hong Kong Island." ”

Then there is the signing, and some details.

For example, Li Shengyao gave the script first, agreed with Liang Jiahui to meet in Shanghai half a month later, and then let Liang Jiahui meet with other actors to get acquainted with each other.

The two of them talked for about an hour before they separated.

Liang Jiahui originally invited Li Shengyao to his house for dinner, but Li Shengyao refused, he was very busy, and Liang Jiahui wanted to read the script and say goodbye to his family, so there was no need to bother.

……

Twelve hours later, in a villa in Mount Davis on Hong Kong Island, Liang Jiahui put down his teacup, and then couldn't help but say: "It's really well written." ”

Mrs. Liang sat on the side reading a book, and said with a smile: "What is well written?" ”

"The story is well written."

Liang Jiahui met with Li Shengyao during the day, but did not read the script carefully, and only then did he realize that the script was very well written.

The two poor people in the city are described very vividly, although the story is very sad, but the theme is upward, to tell the audience that despite the many misfortunes in life, we still have to find light, be kind to others, and be kind to ourselves in such a life.

Liang Jiahui is glad that he agreed to Li Shengyao, this story is better than "Zhou Yu's Train" in his opinion, and it is the best story he has received in recent years.

Mrs. Liang smiled, "Then it's a good act." ”

The two are old husbands and wives, and they have an excellent relationship.

Liang Jiahui nodded, "Okay, this time I'm going to show my best state and can't live up to this story." ”

He thought about it for a while, and then planned to start speaking Mandarin as much as possible tomorrow, and to go to the gym to make himself look more attractive.
