Chapter 542 This undercover agent is different (Part [-])
Andy Lau was also a little surprised when he received a call from Liu Weiqiang. The two of them hadn't been in touch for a long time.

The year before last, Liu Weiqiang and Wang Jing were going to shoot "Young and Dangerous". Chen Haonan was the first to look for the role of Andy Lau, but at that time, because Andy Lau considered that Hong Kong's anti-criminalism has been stricter in recent years, he was afraid that starring in "Young and Dangerous" would have a negative impact , so I did not agree.

At that time, Liu Weiqiang talked with Andy Lau for a long time about this matter, and even wanted to give him an increase in salary, but in the end Andy Lau still insisted on not agreeing.

Since then, the two have not been in touch.

"Director Liu, hello."

"Do you have time now? I want to talk to you about a movie. Is it convenient to meet up?"

Liu Dehua thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, are you in the company, I'll go find you."

"I'm not in the company, let's find a tea restaurant."

……

An hour later, Liu Weiqiang met with a tea restaurant.

Liu Dehua was actually quite strange in his heart, Liu Weiqiang and his company were not far away, and for some reason they had to come to the tea restaurant because they were not in the company when talking about the script.

Maybe it was expected that Andy Lau would have this question, so after taking his seat, Liu Weiqiang said with a smile: "This time the movie is a little different, I'm talking to you in my own capacity."

Hearing this, Andy Lau didn't ask any further questions, and nodded, "I don't know what kind of movie Director Liu is going to make this time?"

"It's a gangster movie."

"A cop movie?"

Andy Lau smiled, "The gangster movie is good. On the way here just now, he was worried that after the meeting, Liu Weiqiang gave him another script similar to "Young and Dangerous".

Although he is busy making money now and has fewer requests for acting than before, he still doesn't want to act in "Young and Dangerous".

What a good gangster movie, personal heroism, may not have much depth, but insurance, there will be no problems.

"It's a gangster movie, but it's a bit different from ordinary gangster movies. And your character is also quite special. It's an undercover agent."

Andy Lau didn't quite understand, what's wrong with undercover, undercover often appears in gangster movies.

Before he could ask, Liu Weiqiang explained: "It's not the undercover police sent to the gangsters, but the undercover gangs sent to the police."

Liu Dehua looked at Liu Weiqiang, trying to find some clues from his face to prove that he was joking with himself.

But Liu Weiqiang's face was very serious, obviously what he said was also serious.

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly fell, and the two did not speak for a while.

Liu Weiqiang had anticipated this situation before he came, which made Andy Lau's role very complicated. He is not a traditional villain. As his lines say, if he had a choice, he would like to be a good person, but he didn't have it. select.

But no matter what, he is still a villain, and this cannot be changed.

After about a minute of silence, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

"Sir, the meal is here."

"Well, come in."

The waiter came in and put their order on the table. After the waiter left, Liu Weiqiang said with a smile, "Eat something first."

Liu Dehua nodded, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then couldn't help but said: "Director Liu, I might..."

Liu Weiqiang raised his hand and said, "Hua Zai, don't rush to say no, first let me tell you how this script came about. Do you know Yu Dong from deep space?"

"Yu Dong?" Liu Dehua raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Director Liu, you are joking, who in the film and television industry doesn't know him now? The two movies "Second World" and "Resident Evil" are casually seen on the streets of Xiangjiang. Ask someone if they've seen it, and I think eight out of ten people will say yes."

"This script was written by Yu Dong."

Liu Weiqiang looked at Andy Lau, and sure enough, he heard that Yu Dong wrote the script, and Andy's expression changed.

He struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Yu Dong attaches great importance to this film, and Deep Space will also invest in it in the future. You should know the size of their company, and the films that their company participated in have never failed. Just Take the recently released "Fatal Identity" in the United States as an example, the cost is 2000 million, but the box office is likely to exceed [-] million, you should understand what this means."

Andy Lau nodded, of course he understands that this means that the investors of this movie have made a lot of money.For a Hollywood movie, with a cost of 2000 million, if the box office is doubled on this basis, there is basically hope that the cost will be paid back.

If the box office exceeds 2000 million, you can earn [-] million in the account first. If the word of mouth is better, the follow-up income will definitely not be less.

"Deep Space has really been very powerful in recent years." Andy Lau couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He has opened a company before, so of course he knows how difficult it is to achieve deep space. If his sky screen company can produce a movie like "Fatal Identity", he will not be in such a situation now.

Seeing that Andy Lau was already moved, Liu Weiqiang said again: "Hua Zai, last time we failed to cooperate in "Young and Dangerous", I have always regretted it and wanted to find a chance to make up for it, so this time I was the first to find you. But you also know , now the entire film and television industry in Xiangjiang is going downhill, as long as there is investment, actors are not difficult to find."

Carrots plus sticks, the previous ones were all carrots, now Liu Weiqiang has hit the stick again, the implication is that if Andy Lau is not willing, he has plenty of candidates.

This trick is really useful, Andy Lau thought about it, and finally asked: "Can I read the script first?"

Liu Weiqiang nodded with a smile, "Of course."

He knew that things were basically done.With Andy Lau, half of his mission is completed.

In fact, it was not his claim to come to Andy Lau, but the request from Deep Space.For the two protagonists, Deep Space has appointed candidates, one is Liang Chaowei and the other is Andy Lau.

……

After finishing with Andy Lau, Liu Weiqiang went to find Liang Chaowei again, but it didn't take much effort to talk to Liang Chaowei. After all, Liang Chaowei was asked to play a positive role.

After finalizing these two candidates, Liu Weiqiang drew up another list of actors.

This list includes Huang Qiusheng, Zeng Zhiwei and other big-name stars.

But what Liu Weiqiang didn't expect was that when he handed over the list to Deep Space Company, the other party directly cut off half of the list.

Especially Zeng Zhiwei and Huang Qiusheng, Deep Space Company doesn't want any of them.

This made Liu Weiqiang very incomprehensible, because Zeng Zhiwei and Huang Qiusheng are both first-line actors, and it is not easy for others to invite them, but Shen Kong directly gave them a pass.

And the reason given by Deep Space is also very simple: it is not suitable.

As for the inappropriate method, Deep Space didn't say anything.

Is the role inappropriate, or something else?
Because of this matter, Liu Weiqiang was also quite annoyed. He had heard before that deep space movies like to assign actors, but he didn't take it seriously. It is normal for the management to assign actors.But he didn't expect that Shen Kong's control over actors would be so perverted.
