The road to becoming a movie star from the villain

Chapter 203 Movie Emperor and Heavenly King

This time when Hong Chen went to audition, there was one person that Hong Chen had to pay attention to.

That is Liang Chaowei.

Although Hong Chen won the Double Best Actor last year and has countless halos, compared with Liang Chaowei, his current resume is much worse.

Not to mention how many movie king titles Liang Chaowei has won, just one of the achievements is enough to instantly kill [-]% of movie stars in China.

That is, he once won the best actor in Cannes!
Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Oscar, the four major international film festivals, it is difficult to win an award, let alone win the title of best actor!
There is no doubt that Liang Chaowei's acting skills are impeccable.

For example, Hong Chen reads the information through the system and knows that the highest rating for acting skills in the entertainment industry is 9.5 points.

Liang Chaowei must be on this list!

So, coming to the audition this time, Hong Chen was under a lot of pressure.

But he also relaxed his mind, because even if he can't compete for the male number one, it will be very good if he can win the male number two and the male number three.

After all, there are only two or three such big-budget movies a year in Huaxia, so it would be a pity to miss them.

And the ranking of big-budget movies is not important, the key is to see how the actors perform.

In fact, Hong Chen and Liang Chaowei also collaborated last year, that is the movie "Hero".

At that time, Hong Chen played Qin Shihuang and Liang Chaowei played the assassin Can Jian.

However, because they were all divided into scenes, Hong Chen basically acted opposite Li Lianjie's Wuming, and only filmed one scene with Liang Chaowei, so the two of them didn't communicate much at the time, and they could only be counted as acquaintances.

That night, when Hong Chen came to HK, the director Liu Weiqiang had already arranged for someone to pick him up at the airport. As soon as he got off the plane, the assistant contacted the people here, and sent Hong Chen directly to the hotel to rest.

It could be seen that Liu Weiqiang respected Hong Chen very much.Because now Hong Chen has a high popularity and status in HK, just like Zi Dan, Wu Zhan and Jet Li, because people here especially worship actors who can really fight.

After Hong Chen came to the hotel, he contacted several friends, including directors and actors. When he contacted An Jie, the actor he met in New Police Story, An Jie told him that they were having a swimsuit party on the yacht and asked Will he come or not.

After all, he still had an audition tomorrow, so Hong Chen politely declined.

The yacht parties in HK are really popular, especially in June, rich people like to take a group of girls out to play in the water.

Many second- and third-tier film and television actors in HK still have the taste of the "upstarts" who used to be serious when filming, and started to squander after making money.

In this regard, Hong Chen didn't think it was a big deal, everyone pursued different things.

In the evening, he was seriously reading the script of the audition.This time it was very interesting, the director Liu Weiqiang directly sent him the scripts of several characters, from the protagonist to the male lead and the male lead, and let him know about them all.

Hong Chen estimated that the other actors should be similar.

Liu Weiqiang did not limit a role to a certain actor, but wanted to determine the most suitable actor through screening.

The next day, after Hong Chen woke up, he took a shower, his assistant finished styling him, and he hurried to the audition place.

The location of the audition was at Uniasia Film Distribution Company, which is also the producer of "Infernal Affairs".

As soon as he got out of the car, by coincidence, he met another star.This celebrity has a high reputation, and he is Liu Dehua, one of the four heavenly kings of HK!

Liu De's incarnation was dressed in a smart suit, and there was an elegant aura in his gestures.

Liu Dehua used to be a smashing singer, but now he has transformed into an actor, singing and acting.Some people like to compare him with other people, saying that he is not as good as a certain king in singing, and not as good as Liang Chaowei in acting.

In fact, there is no need to compare him with the strongest in a certain field in all aspects. He has achieved a lot in music and acting, and his popularity in China is very high.

Liu Dehua got out of the car, saw Hong Chen, smiled and nodded at him.

The two didn't know each other before, but they both knew each other.

"Hello, Hong Chen." Liu Dehua stretched out his hand politely and said.

"Hello Heavenly King!" Hong Chen shook hands with him and replied with a smile.

"Are you here for the audition too?" Liu Dehua asked.

"Yes." Hong Chen nodded.

Both of them have their own scripts, so there will definitely be rival scenes during the audition.When the time comes, the scene between the heavenly king and the film king will definitely be another very exciting scene.

Then, the two entered the building of the Uniasia Film Distribution Company together.

The audition is in a hall like a small opera house, with rows of seats below and a huge stage above it.

Hong Chenhe and Liu Dehua were half an hour earlier than the agreed time, and many people had already arrived by this time.

They are all familiar Hong Kong star faces, and these actors are well-known in China.

Hong Chen saw Liang Chaowei at a glance.Liang Chaowei sat at the edge of the first row, looking very quiet, did not talk to anyone, and looked at the air alone in a daze.

Liang Chaowei arrived very early, enough to show his dedication.

"Chao Wei!" Liu Dehua shouted at Liang Chaowei, he and Liang Chaowei have always had a good relationship.

When Liang Chaowei heard someone calling him, he got up and looked back, saw that it was Liu Dehua, smiled gently, and walked over.

Liang Chaowei's temperament is very unique, and he has a good smile.

Liang Chaowei greeted Liu Dehua first, then saw Hong Chen, smiled at him, and said:
"Hong Chen, long time no see."

"Yeah, long time no see." Hong Chen smiled very politely.

"You guys know each other?" Seeing this, Liu Dehua asked suspiciously.

"When I was filming "Hero" last year, there was a scene, so I knew each other." Liang Chaowei was deeply impressed by Hong Chen, mainly because the temperament of Qin Shihuang played by Hong Chen was too unique.

"Come on." Liang Chaowei showed a signature smile, and said something to Hong Chen, and sat back in his seat after speaking, looking thoughtful.

Hong Chen knew that his personality was like this, he was a very quiet person, and he didn't like to talk too much, so he just responded with a smile.

After a while, director Liu Weiqiang also came.As soon as Liu Weiqiang came in, he went straight to Liang Chaowei.

Seeing the director appear, all the actors stood up.

"Chao Wei, have you thought about it clearly, this drama cannot do without you." Liu Weiqiang said to Liang Chaowei with a smile.

Liang Chaowei said with a gentle look, "Director Liu, I'm really in a dilemma, let's see the situation first."

"Then it's a deal, if I really don't have anyone suitable here, you have to be the lead actor and take care of me." Liu Weiqiang said with a smile.

Hearing the conversation between the two, a trace of doubt flashed across Hong Chen's expression.Liu Dehua at the side probably knew something, so he just shook his head regretfully.

Later, Hong Chen learned that, at this time, there was another film crew looking for Liang Chaowei to play the male lead.

It is also a very big production movie - "The Grandmaster"!
The director of "The Grandmaster" is Wang Jiawei, who is the leading director of HK directors.

His first work "Carmen in Mong Kok" was nominated for the Best Director Award at the Academy Awards.

It is worth mentioning that what really let the audience know about "Carmen in Mong Kok" is because of an emoji of "Brother Wufly": "You eat shit".

Wang Jiawei's follow-up works "Days of Being Wild" and "Chongqing Forest" both won awards.The most powerful thing is "Happy Together". He won the Best Director Award at the Cannes International Film Festival for this film, becoming the first Chinese winner of this award at the Cannes International Film Festival.

It can be said that Wang Jiawei has countless auras, and he is a director who is very good at making literary films.

It's always been his style.

He is not a traditional commercial film director, but a director who pursues his own style.

For example, Jiang Wen's style is black humor, Zhang Mouzi's style is a combination of Chinese elements and landscape paintings, and Wang Jiawei's style is literature and art.

In his movies, the light and shadow are mottled, the dialogue is extremely short, the characters are restrained and silent, but there is a huge storm in his heart.

Such a character style is very suitable for Liang Chaowei.

The combination of "Wang Jiawei + Liang Chaowei" makes people feel that the movie is not bad when they hear it, because the combination of the two won awards and got soft hands.

Just like if a comedy is a combination of "Shen Teng + Ma Li", investors must rush to invest money. Wang Jiawei + Liang Chaowei is also such a combination that can have a chemical reaction.

Liang Chaowei's status in HK is too high, not only because of the title of best actor in Cannes, but because of his own strength.

Hong Chen didn't know it at this time. In fact, Liang Chaowei had an oral agreement with the directors Li Weiqiang and Mak Siu-fai in private, that is, let Hong Chen audition for the role of Chen Yongren first. If Hong Chen is suitable, he will go to the crew of "The Great Master" .

Liang Chaowei wanted to go to "The Great Master" in his heart, but he is also a very responsible person, so he hoped that Hong Chen could perform well in the audition.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's start. This audition is completely open. Everyone will perform on the stage, and we will determine the final candidate." When the time is almost up, Liu Weiqiang stood up and pointed at the people in the seats. said loudly.

All of a sudden, the audition actors were completely silent.

After all, auditioning in front of so many people can make anyone nervous.
