The road to becoming a movie star from the villain

Chapter 86 Invitation?
It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the HK hotel, and the appointment with the crew was tomorrow, so Hong Chen was not in a hurry to go to the audition.

That night, Hong Chen had a good night's sleep, and he didn't wake up until the alarm clock rang at 7:[-].

HK's breakfast has a special flavor. Hong Chen ate some shrimp dumplings and char siew buns, and they were all pretty good.

Then, the appointment time with the assistant of the film crew was 9:[-] in the morning, and Hong Chen arrived at the downstairs of the Emperor Film and Television Company on time.

Emperor Films is one of the largest and most influential entertainment media investment companies in HK. Many of its films have achieved good results, and there are also many well-known works.

Such as "Operation Red Sea", "Wu Shuang" and so on.

Hong Chen got out of the car, looked at the majestic and domineering company floor, and gave a sigh of admiration.

Then, Hong Chen and Ge Chen went straight into the company.

When the front desk lady saw Hong Chen appearing, she recognized him instantly, stepped forward and said, "Hello, Mr. Hong, Director Chen has informed me that he is waiting for you on the top floor, and I will take you there."

The lady at the front desk was polite and made a gesture of please.

"It's troublesome." Hong Chen nodded.

The front desk lady walked in front, turning her head to look at Hong Chen from time to time, with a little bit of secret joy in her eyes.

The atmosphere here is a little more open than in the mainland. I am used to seeing old actors in HK. When a handsome young actor suddenly appeared, the front desk lady couldn't help but take a second look.

In the past two years, HK has indeed not produced any outstanding young stars, and the young people are all acting in a well-regulated manner, and the ones who provoke the mainstay are all the older generation.

But it also shows that at least the HK entertainment industry will not be so impetuous.

The front desk lady led the way, and several people took the elevator and went straight to an office on the top floor, where the director Chen Mushen and the investors of Emperor Entertainment Company were all here.

In fact, Hong Chen was a little nervous at this time, after all, the contract had not been finalized, and everything was unknown.

The lady at the front desk knocked on the door, and a moderate voice sounded from inside: "Please come in."

Then, Hong Chen and Ge Chen went in.

The office is very luxurious, Chen Mushen is sitting on the sofa in the reception area beside him, and a middle-aged man in a suit is sitting in front of the desk.

He is the biggest investor in this film, Yu Jiawei, a senior executive of Emperor Entertainment Company.

"Welcome, welcome, I'm finally expecting you." As soon as Hong Chen entered, Yu Jiawei said with a smile.

Hong Chen said a little apologetically, "I'm sorry to be a little late, the schedule did conflict, thank you Mr. Yu for giving me this opportunity."

"We didn't give this opportunity. Zheng Rui often recommends it to us, and your performance is obvious to all." Yu Jiawei looked very kind.

Yu Jiawei is a businessman, as long as HK can make money, they are all friends.

Therefore, Yu Jiawei was very polite to Hong Chen.

Director Chen Mushen has a deep impression of this actor because of Hong Chen's performance in "Slaying the Wolf 2", and hopes that he can play the role of the villain Guan Zu in "New Police Story".

"Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your compliment." Hong Chen didn't put on any airs.

The two people in front of me can be regarded as bigwigs in the Hong Kong circle, so there is no harm in making friends.

"If possible, let's talk about the contract today, and call the crew members tomorrow to start work!" Yu Jiawei laughed.

Hong Chen asked in surprise: "Mr. Yu, don't you need to audition?"

At this moment, director Chen Mushen spoke.

"Your overall image is in line with my expectations, and your acting skills and movements are also obvious to all, so the audition can be avoided." Chen Mushen explained.

"That's great." Hong Chen also smiled.

Afterwards, Ge Chen was in charge of negotiating the contract, and Hong Chen didn't need to worry about this.

The price offered by the film crew was quite good, 500 million Huaxia coins, and the filming took three months.

The key is to be able to act with Yuanlong.

In fact, for this movie, Chen Mushen has the idea of ​​saving the current sluggish Hong Kong film market, so he has high expectations for this movie.

Not only contacted the international martial arts superstar Yuan Long, but also invited Xie Feng and other Mesozoic stars.

For Hong Chen, on the one hand, it is because Hong Chen's image really fits the movie, and on the other hand, it is to open up the mainland market.

The mainland market is the real big market, and Emperor is of course unwilling to let go of this piece of cake.

After the contract was signed, several people were very happy, and they drank tea and chatted for a while.

"Hong Chen, what do you think of HK's side?" During the chat, Yu Jiawei asked.

"Very good, a treasure land of geomantic omen, great rivers and mountains." Hong Chen praised.

"Hahaha, do you have any long-term plans to develop here?" Yu Jiawei asked casually after taking a sip of tea.

After hearing what he said, Hong Chen felt that something was wrong, so he said with a smile: "I think, I'm afraid it's not very popular with the audience."

Hearing this, Yu Jiawei put down his teacup and said again: "The current HK lacks the pillars of the younger generation. If we want to reproduce the glory of the year, there must be an influx of new blood. So, I want to ask, do you have any ideas?" No plans to join the Emperor?"

Seeing Hong Chen's surprised face, Yu Jiawei said again: "I have seen the action scenes in "Slaying the Wolf 2", they are very standard, and they dare to fight hard. Such artists are rare. If you Now that the Emperor is here, I promise to support you, how about it?"

Hong Chen calmed down, and said: "Mr. Yu, you are flattering me. Besides, I signed a ten-year contract with Huahai, and the price for terminating the contract is not low."

What Hong Chen said was just being polite, he had no intention of leaving Huahai.

Compared with being portrayed as a martial arts star, Hong Chen wants to challenge a wider range of drama.

"If your potential company really recognizes it, and the company is willing to pay the termination fee, the key depends on your attitude."

After hearing what he said, Hong Chen had no choice but to say: "Mr. Yu, I still want to stay in Huahai, thank you for your kindness."

Seeing Hong Chen's refusal, Yu Jiawei was not angry, he laughed and said, "Okay, blame me, love is eager, I hope you don't mind."

Yu Jiawei is a businessman, and during the chat, it's good to talk about business, and it's good to talk about it, but it's still a friend if it doesn't work out.

"It's okay, thank you, Mr. Yu, for your appreciation." Hong Chen said politely.

"Haha, you just came to HK not long ago, you can go around again. Old Chen, doesn't your niece like to travel, so let her take Hong Chen to see around." Yu Jiawei said kindly.

"That girl is probably still playing in the mainland." Chen Mushen said helplessly.

After Yu Jiawei left, Hong Chen discussed the script with director Chen Mushen.

Before coming, Hong Chen received the script.

This script is really wonderful, the plot is tense and exciting, which is in line with the consistent style of Hong Kong movies.

"Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the film crew. The time has been set. Remember to come over when the time comes. On the first day, get to know everyone in the film crew." Chen Mushen said again.

"Okay, director, don't worry." Hong Chen nodded and said.

Then, Hong Chen and Ge Chen left Emperor Entertainment.

This time, the process was very fast, and it had already been negotiated in the early stage. When Hong Chen came over, the crew could start working immediately.

"I didn't expect the Emperor to poach people directly. This is beyond my expectation." After leaving the Emperor Company, Ge Chen looked back at the Emperor's floor and said with a serious expression.

When she was drinking tea just now, she was also beside her, but Yu Jiawei didn't shy away from it at all.

This is a bit strange.

"I feel that he doesn't really want to sign me here, it seems like it's just a judgment, he wants to see my loyalty to Huahai, and also to see if the chances of this matter are high." Hong Chen explained.

"What about you, what do you think?" Ge Chen was a little nervous.

Hong Chen smiled lightly and said, "The sea of ​​flowers is very nice, of course I won't leave."

"Besides, Huahai is one of the four major entertainment companies in China, and I want to take a look at the real top of the entertainment industry from here."
