Light and shadow player

Chapter 59 Bernard Yudong
In fact, many directors are unwilling to come to see Cheng Yuan.

Can't save face.

When many directors entered the industry, Cheng Yuan was either not born or was still wearing crotch pants.

Which one is not Cheng Yuan's uncle and senior?
But there is no way, there is almost no food on the island, and going north is the general trend.

It doesn't matter to me, but which director is not followed by a large group of people, the director has no filming, and the crew under him has no food.

What else can I do, I can only look for Cheng Yu'an, a young man of 82 years, with the cheek.

Chen Jiashang brought his student Lin Chaoxian to arrive first, and the master and apprentice had a very good relationship. Chen Jiashang had two purposes for this trip, one was to win Cheng Yuan's project by himself. I heard it was a romance film. I feel that my sword is not old, as long as I want to, I can quickly pick up this subject; if I can't win this project, I have to push Lin Chaoxian out.

As an old man in the industry, Chen Jiashang has a clear view of the situation in the circle: the Hong Kong circle is bound to decline, and the future lies in the north.

I couldn't see it before, but as the mainland market grows year by year, the Hong Kong Island market is too small in comparison.

Coupled with the loss of the Bay Island and Southeast Asian markets, as well as the rise of the Japanese and Korean markets, Hong Kong Island has lost its position as an Asian film center.

The "Infernal Affairs" series is of course a masterpiece, but in Chen Jiashang's view, "Infernal Affairs" is at best a reflection of Hong Kong films.

In terms of general trends, the decline of Hong Kong movies has become a certainty.

And because of the environment on Hong Kong Island, young actors and directors cannot afford to be overwhelmed by the older generation.

This situation frustrates the old people in Hong Kong Island's show business circle.

"Director Cheng." Chen Jiashang greeted Cheng Yu'an with Lin Chaoxian.

"Teacher Chen Jiashang, Mr. Lin Chaoxian, please sit down." Cheng Yu'an invited the two to sit down.

Several people complimented each other a few times as usual, nothing more than, I like your play, I like your play and so on.

After chatting for a while, the two sides got to the point. Chen Jiashang asked knowingly, "I heard that Director Cheng came to Hong Kong Island this time to choose a director for a new film. I wonder what kind of film it is?"

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "It's a romance movie, here's the script." He handed the script over, "You two can take a look, and we can exchange ideas if you have any ideas."

Both Chen Jiashang and his apprentice are good at action movies, and they have also made some romance movies.

After making an appointment to meet at the tea restaurant two days later, Cheng Yu'an sent Chen and Lin away.

Later, Cheng Yu'an met several directors one after another. In later generations, they were all famous directors. Who would have thought that at this time, they would be worried about not having a film to shoot.

From afternoon to night, Cheng Yu'an met no less than ten directors, and his voice became hoarse when he spoke, and he was able to rest at eight o'clock in the evening.

Back at the residence, Andy Lau found himself first, and said with a smile, "Maggie wanted to take a break from acting this year, but she didn't say anything dead, she said she had to read the script before making a decision."

This is of course good news.

"No problem, is Miss Maggie in Hong Kong Island?"

Andy Lau shook his head: "She hasn't been in Hong Kong Island most of the time these few years, and now she's in France."

Cheng Yu'an nodded: "Okay, when the matter on Hong Kong Island is resolved, I will fly to France to talk to Sister Maggie."

Andy Lau asked about his choice of director today, Cheng Yuan said: "I have met many directors, they are all very talented, and I have seen all their works, why do they have no films?"

Speaking of this, Andy Lau also expressed a lot of emotion: "Movies are not easy to make money now, investors are becoming more and more cautious, even if they have money, they are unwilling to invest in movies."

The next day, Cheng Yu'an was fine and was communicating with Cheng Lingfeng about the new play.

"How's the casting for The Eraser in My Mind going?"

"It's not a big problem to choose the cast for this drama. It's fine if the male is handsome and the female is pretty. I gave Lu Yi the male lead. He is just now popular, and the box office depends on him."

Cheng Yu'an had no objection to choosing Lu Yi, but he also asked, "Is Lu Yi too thin?"

The hero of "The Eraser in My Brain" is a tall and strong construction worker. Is Lu Yi too small?
"Don't worry about that, I've already asked him to gain weight and keep fit. The heroine Guo Fei recommended Yang Xue, saying it's your junior sister, right?"

When Cheng Yu'an heard this name, what he thought of was Jiang Yuyan who killed all the people in the show with her bangs in the air.

"Yes, Yangxue is from the acting department of class 99. She played very well with us when she was in school. This role is also very good for her."

"Okay, if you don't have an opinion about the hero and heroine, then it's decided like this." Cheng Lingfeng finalized the casting on the other end of the phone.

"Hey, by the way, can you really find Zhang Manyu to act in our play?" Cheng Lingfeng asked again before hanging up the phone.

"I don't know. Zhang Manyu wants to retire this year. I don't know if our script can impress her. I don't know how long I will stay in Hong Kong Island. In this way, if you have time, take someone to fly to France and meet her in person. talk."

"Okay, the things in my hands are basically over. I will fly there in two days." Cheng Lingfeng likes Zhang Manyu, and she can meet her idol when she flies to France for business.

"Cheng Sheng, I have a call." A servant from Liu Dehua's family called Cheng Yu'an.

"It's troublesome." Cheng Yu'an thanked him, then picked up the phone, "Hello, who is it?"

"Director Cheng, I'm Yu Dong." A man's voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

Bernard in the East.

Cheng Yu'an came to his senses, but wondered why he would find him, since he had no intersection with him.

"Boss Yu, what do you want from me?" Cheng Yu'an asked.

"It's okay, I just see that you are also on Hong Kong Island, and I want to invite Director Cheng to have dinner tonight? Director Cheng must appreciate you." Yu Dong smiled on the other end of the phone.

Please come to the door, if you don't agree, you will really be a little ignorant, so Cheng Yu'an simply agreed, wanting to see what medicine Yudong Gourd sells.

"Mr. Yu, you are a senior and a senior from the Film Academy. I should invite you. At eight o'clock in the evening, I invite you, Mr. Yu. You must come."

"Okay, okay." Fatty Yu on the opposite side said cheerfully, "Since this is the case, then I will be disrespectful."

In the evening, Cheng Yu'an arrived at the reserved restaurant half an hour earlier, but Yu Dong arrived earlier than him.

The two smiled, shook hands and sat down.

Yu Dong sighed and said, "Since "Lianlian Notebook", I have been trying to contact Mr. Cheng Lingfeng, but Mr. Cheng seems to think that the Bona Temple is too small, so he has not cooperated with us."

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "You can't say that. When it comes to private distribution, Berner is the boss."

"The boss is always empty-handed, and the whole company has to wait for me to support it. It's difficult." Yu Dong took a sip of wine, and then said: "I wonder if Director Cheng is interested in cooperating with Berna? Not to mention, Cheng Dao should also know."

"Hehe." At this stage, Bernard is really the younger brother, relying on the distribution of Hong Kong movies to hang his life, "I have been in charge of the company's production business, and Lingfeng has always been in charge of the publicity and distribution. If Yu wants to cooperate, he should find Lingfeng, I can't promise anything about the announcement, even if I promise Mr. Yu, Lingfeng can overturn my decision if she doesn't want to."

Yu Dong didn't get entangled in the cooperation, and asked again: "Why did Director Cheng come to Hong Kong Island this time?"

Cheng Yu'an figured it out during the day. Yu Dong asked himself to tell the truth. Hong Kong Island is now regarded by Berner as his back garden, and he absolutely does not allow remote intervention.

Not to mention that Cheng Yu'an directly came to Hong Kong Island to recruit directors to film in the mainland.

Wanting to understand this, Cheng Yu'an smiled and said: "Mr. Yu filtered it. I came to Hong Kong Island to visit friends. You also know that Yuan Yuan has a good relationship with Mr. Yang and Liu Dehua of Yinhuang; secondly, I am looking for a director. The company opened a movie I have no spare time for romance films, so I can only find a director from outside. Don't worry, it's just a simple cooperation, and it won't be like Mr. Yu."

Cheng Yu'an was not joking, he really didn't like the three-acre land on Hong Kong Island, and he really just wanted to find a director to make a movie.

At the same time, the mainland is also looking for an excellent director of romance films. Once the mainland side first confirms the director, he will not continue.

Yu Dong was half-believing and still worried, but Cheng Yu'an didn't need to promise anything to Yu Dong, so the two put the matter aside for the time being.

　I didn't expect it to be so early!hey-hey.
