The road to becoming a movie star from the villain

Chapter 217 Audition in Hollywood?

Next, Hong Chen was filming on the crew of "The Wandering Earth".

This is his first special effects movie.

He used to think that it would be easy to make this kind of movie, because after all, special effects are the key.It turned out that it was very difficult to shoot.

Special effects movies not only test the acting skills of the actors, but also the imagination of the actors.

Often the director would describe a scene for him, let him imagine it himself, and then act it out.

Also, many scenes were shot against a green screen backdrop.

He used to make movies, such as "Langya Bang", he was in the court, right in the palace, surrounded by people in ancient costumes, so it was easy to get into the movie.

However, some scenes in special effects films only have green screens, without even a specific background, and rely solely on the imagination of the actors.

It was only then that Hong Chen realized that there was indeed another reason why Huaxia Films couldn't make good special effects movies.

That is, there are no good actors who can well cooperate with the director's imagination.

Therefore, the filming of this film often stops, and then several people discuss how to shoot the plot, and then continue.

On this day, Hong Chen suddenly received a call from Ge Chen.

"Boss, such a big thing happened, why didn't I see any movement from you?" Ge Chen's joyful voice came from the other side.

"What's the matter?" Hearing her words, Hong Chen was a little stunned.

"Didn't you pay attention? "Infernal Affairs" was released, and it has already broken several box office records in HK."

""Infernal Affairs"?" Hong Chen remembered now, counting the time, it was the day when "Infernal Affairs" was released.

Because "Infernal Affairs" was filmed so fast, the director didn't have much expectations for this movie, he just hoped that this movie could make some money.

The same is true for Hong Chen, he knows that this movie does not have any big scenes such as action scenes or explosion scenes, but more about the inner conflict between characters, which lacks highlights.

They would never have thought that this movie would be a hit.

"Is it so powerful? Has it broken the record?" Hong Chen still couldn't believe it.

"Hmm. Breaking the HK box office premiere record and the fastest record breaking [-] million. If things go on like this, there may be a situation where the "Two Mondays" fight for supremacy!"

"Exaggerated."

Hong Chen shook his head and said.

The popularity of Double Monday was not just as simple as their movies dominating the box office.

Rather, the influence of their movies has radiated to the whole world!

At that time, Hong Chen was still young, but he basically watched the movies of these three people.

Even now, many people born in the 90s will go back and watch the movies of these people.

Because such a movie is worth watching a second time.

In today's impetuous society, there are too few movies that people are willing to go back and watch again.

That's why Hong Chen couldn't believe it.

Moreover, now that Hong Kong movies are in decline, HK gangster movies have become like fast food, reduced to popcorn movies, just watch them lively.

"No, it's true. The evaluation of this movie on the Internet is very high. Now it has been released for three days, and some theaters in Japan and South Korea have expressed their willingness to release this movie!" Tao also understands it very well.

"Okay, I see." Hong Chen hung up the phone, and then took out his mobile phone to browse the Internet. It doesn't matter, "Infernal Affairs" really went to the top of the trending search.

In fact, as early as many years ago, the film industry in HK began to suffer.

It can even be said that the box office of HK movies is terrible.In other words, Yuan Long and Hong Chen's "New Police Story" covered up a little face for HK movies.

But this time, "Infernal Affairs" swept the world, as if returning to the glory of Hong Kong films back then!

It stands to reason that gangster movies have already declined, but this time it is different.

The director not only chose the theme of undercover gangsters, but also did not focus on the confrontation between the underworld and the police, but focused on the entanglement of people's hearts, the inversion of the identity of the police and robbers, and the morality of the world, such as the extremely high level of spiritual realm.

That is to say, for the first time a gangster movie has depth.

The film had a huge influence overseas.

Just to mention a simple example, Warner America bought the remake rights of this movie for 500 million US dollars!
This is currently the highest copyright fee for European and American remakes of Asian films!

After this incident, I immediately regained my confidence in HK movies.

"Infernal Affairs" gave HK filmmakers hope, and now, the HK market has become hot again.

A kind of Hong Kong star, and confident to let the world see the style of Hong Kong movies.

Hong Chen and Liu Dehua will be forever remembered by HK film history.

Hong Chen never thought that this movie would bring him such a great fortune!
Because of the popularity of this movie, he has directly received Hollywood's attention!

America, Hollywood.

There is no doubt that this is the commanding height of the world's film and television, and most of the blockbuster films with international names come from here.

Hollywood's big IP is everywhere.

There are eight major film industries in Hollywood: Warner, MGM, Paramount, Columbia Pictures, Universal Pictures, United Artists, 20th Century Fox, and Disney, all of which are giants.

There are also some smaller film and television companies that are also well-known in the world!
For these companies, as long as the title logo jumps out, people know that it will not be a bad movie.

Universal Pictures, the investor Robert is looking at the report materials handed over by his subordinates.

Now, Universal Pictures is making a new movie, and one of the roles needs to be played by an Asian.

As far as young people in Asia are concerned, Hollywood actually employs a lot of Chinese people, and there are also a few Japanese.

The young Chinese actors who can get into Hollywood basically rely on action scenes.

Yuan Long is more powerful. His films were too popular in Hollywood back then, so he flourished in Hollywood, and he took on leading roles in big productions.

For the remaining Jet Li, Zhou Zhaolong, etc., the resources of the former are slightly inferior, but there are also a few good works, and the latter has guest-starred in many action scenes of big productions, such as a Chinese master in "The Matrix".

Basically, Hollywood rarely uses young Chinese actors.

"Huaxia people?" Robert looked at the information in his hand and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, sir. This person is very well-known in China. He has won several movie stars and has considerable influence in other Asian countries." His subordinates are in charge of the Asian market, so they know the Asian market very well.

"Really so powerful?" Robert asked, "How is his Chinese Kung Fu?"

"Sir, this young actor started his career in action movies. I have prepared several of his action scenes. Please take a look." Subordinate Hui reported.

Then, Robert began to watch the video material on the computer.

In the data, there are Hong Chen's fighting scenes in "Battered Fire" and "Slaying the Wolf 2".

"Not bad." Robert nodded after watching the video clip.

"Well, let's add him to the audition. These Asians are all the best in their respective countries. It's up to them who can win this spot." Robert closed the file and said slowly.

"Don't worry sir, I'll let you know."

Robert shrugged. The next movie he will make is a big production, so he will choose the best actors to complete it.

Among them, the role of this Asian is very important.

Therefore, the audition list that Robert finalized is all the best young actors in Asian countries!

And among these actors, only one person can get this precious spot!
