This star is a bit cold

"Infernal Affairs" is a movie from Ye Che's world that left a very glorious mark in the history of Hong Kong movies.

It subverted the gangster film style of Hong Kong for decades. While countries were competing to buy the remake rights, it also successfully saved the Hong Kong film market from losses for nearly ten years and was rated as the "savior" of Hong Kong films.

There is no doubt that it is the pinnacle of Hong Kong police and gangster films, a true and implicit expression of complex human nature, and a perfect combination of superb acting skills and brilliant plot.

In Ye Che's world, there may not be another police film that surpasses this movie, or in other words, there is indeed no ground for it to appear again.

In this world, police and gangster films can be regarded as a long-lasting genre of films. While retaining their commercial nature, many films spare no effort to conduct in-depth discussions on human nature and the system. This will not only make the audience feel tense and exciting, but also not lacking in content. Deep thoughts.

In this way, the market for this type of movies will naturally not be too bad.

But as for the Chinese market in this world, it has been several years since there has been a truly outstanding police and gangster film. So under this situation, making a police and gangster film is indeed a good choice.

What needs to be mentioned here is that although the entertainment industry in this world is indeed very developed, there are also gaps or vacuum periods in many fields. In short, there have been quite a few achievements in this field, but there has really been nothing in recent years. Excellent work.

In this case, Ye Che would make the appropriate choice.

But if you want to shoot a martial arts movie in this world, or a big-budget movie that relies solely on special effects, then congratulations, even if you are a so-called time traveler, you will probably be beaten all over the place.

In some fields, China in this world is really unparalleled. Even Ye Che, who has seen many excellent film and television works, was shocked after seeing its peak-level works.

To sum it up in one sentence, it’s still possible to shoot like this? !

To be honest, China in this world is so awesome in some places that it’s really not a joke.

That is to say, Ye Che chose the right track and produced some truly classic works, so that he could shock the world's audiences again and again.

Closer to home, the reason why Ye Che chose the movie "Infernal Affairs" was first of all due to commercial considerations. With Su Mo's father's huge number weighing on his head, Ye Che was still a little bit stressed.

Secondly, this movie has really high requirements for acting skills. For those who really love acting, playing the role in this movie is simply a pleasure.

As for the previous movie, it was indeed not very difficult, and Ye Che really didn't enjoy it to the fullest.

So this time, Ye Che is directly planning to find a movie star to act opposite him. Coupled with the difficulty of the role itself, Ye Che must be able to enjoy it this time.

Therefore, Ye Che is recruiting an experienced and capable assistant director, so that Ye Che can focus more on studying the role.

Of course, the assistant director must still be doing that kind of functional work, and the overall framework and atmosphere of the film must still be the work of director Ye Che himself.

As for what role Ye Che will play in this movie, Ye Che actually didn't worry too much, but quickly settled on the villain role of Liu Jianming. Generally speaking, this role is more complex and more fulfilling.

A little man who cannot control his own destiny has been thinking about whitewashing himself all the time because he has been under the sun for a long time, and has launched a series of efforts.

When he finally killed his boss and tried to truly become a good person, the good guy in the shadow completely shattered his hopes.

This may also reveal a confusion that has always existed in his heart. Can the smell of water that has been lingering on him really dissipate when he comes ashore?

If not, then being caught is actually a relief?

But fate did not give him a chance to think. His innate tendency to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and the appearance of another undercover agent in the police station made him make the final choice unprepared.

Perhaps in the end he has fully understood that he will never be a truly good person.

As the elevator slowly descended, he also fell into the abyss of human nature.

In this world, maybe the real bad guys and the real good guys don’t suffer. They all know very well what they want and what they want to pursue. There are only half-black people who are pushed away by fate. A person who is in a situation he has never imagined will always struggle in an endless hell.

Listen to the echoes from hell in this half-black and half-white world.

The above is pretty much what Ye Che said when he communicated with Ji Chengxing.

Speaking of which, although this actor is very famous in the film and television industry, he really has no airs at all. Even his words "Director Ye" when he first came in directly showed his human nature and sophistication, which is equivalent to what he said at the beginning. It recognized Ye Che’s status in this movie.

And he is also willing to correct his position.

Although it is true that directors have always been more important than actors in the film and television industry, for an actor like Ji Chengxing who is well-known in the industry, most directors really have to give Ji Chengxing some face.

Under such circumstances, Ji Chengxing took the initiative to greet and communicate with Ye Che, obviously truly recognizing Ye Che's ability as a director.

In other words, there is no way to deny it!

One movie netted 3.2 million!

For such a person, even if you think he is lucky, when you meet, you will still give him enough respect and want to hold hands with him for a while longer. This is a real way to make money!

After Ye Che met Ji Chengxing, besides chatting about the concept of the movie, the other thing was of course the audition. Here, Ji Chengxing actually had something else on his mind.

Ji Chengxing's agent Liu Dongchuan is actually quite clear about this.

To put it simply, after Ji Chengxing read the complete script, he actually liked the role of Liu Jianming more than Chen Yongren in the movie.

On this point, Ji Chengxing and Ye Che agree. They both believe that the role of Liu Jianming will be more expressive. Of course, the requirements for acting skills will also be higher.

However, neither Ye Che nor Ji Chengxing cared much about it. On the contrary, they even found it a kind of enjoyment.

Although Liu Dongchuan, the agent, didn't understand his brother Xing's abnormal psychology, he still strongly supported Ji Chengxing's desire to win this role.

After all, although there are two male protagonists in name, if you study the script carefully, you will find that there is still a real existence, that is, the character Liu Jianming.

Although he is both a director, an actor and a screenwriter, but in terms of his status in the film and television industry, why do you let our Jiaxing brother be below you? Respect the strength of the seniors!

Sometimes you have to grab this position. To a certain extent, it is indeed a manifestation of the coffee position.

Liu Dongchuan had this mentality. As for Ji Chengxing himself, although he was greatly surprised after watching Ye Che's previous performances, he still maintained the same attitude in general: "Young man, the water here is too deep, you can't control it!" Attitude.

Therefore, Ji Chengxing felt that he could make Ye Che fully realize the gap between the two during the audition, and then he would mention it, and then he might be able to get the role naturally!

As a director, Director Ye must also hope that his movie can be made, right?

With this idea in mind, Ji Chengxing is ready to fully demonstrate his research on the role these days in today's audition session.

While the two were communicating and auditioning, Su Shibai and Liu Dongchuan temporarily changed places to prepare for a preliminary discussion on the contract. They also listened for a while and saw Ye Che and Ji Chengxing getting together. After chatting happily, the two realized that this cooperation should be possible.

Ye Che didn't like to be polite to others, so once he had a good conversation with someone, it meant that the person was really interested in him.

Of course Su Shibai knew this very well.

The same is almost true for Liu Dongchuan. As an old man who has been with Ji Chengxing for so many years, Ji Chengxing is really clear about whether Ji Chengxing is polite to others or really wants to cooperate with others.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Brother Xing lifts his butt a little, I already know what he's going to do next!

After the two preliminary drafted a schedule elsewhere, Ji Chengxing's audition was almost over.

There is a saying that after seeing his brother Xing again, Liu Dongchuan was really stunned for a moment.

The reason is quite simple. Ye Che and Ji Chengxing came out at almost the same time. However, Ye Che still had a faint smile on his face. On the other hand, Ji Chengxing had a solemn look on his face at this moment, with his brows furrowed, as if he had encountered something big. generally.

Ok?

Could it be that the talks have broken down?

But looking at the expression on Director Ye’s face, it doesn’t seem like it, right?

With such doubts, Liu Dongchuan followed Ji Chengxing, and after being polite to the two people present for a while, the two said goodbye for the time being. As for follow-up matters such as cooperation, both parties will find some professionals to contact them.

After seeing that Ji Chengxing was still willing to cooperate with the other party, Liu Dongchuan became even more confused, but he could only hold it in his heart. After the two left Tianhui Entertainment Company and got in the car, Liu Dongchuan looked at Ji Chengxing, who was still frowning. , and then couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, Brother Xing? Did something go wrong during the audition?"

"Yes." He nodded slowly. Ji Chengxing didn't show off, and suddenly sighed and said, "We did two scenes of rivalry, and then..."

At this point, Ji Chengxing couldn't help but shook his head, and then said: "After this movie is broadcast, if he has a little more luck, he may consider charging for the Academy Awards."

"Ah?" Liu Dongchuan was stunned when he heard Ji Chengxing's words. He almost drove the car to the green belt on the roadside. After hurriedly stabilizing the car, Liu Dongchuan, who was a little embarrassed, then Then he said: "Brother Xing, are you talking about those small awards that are not very important?

If this is the case, then he will probably win it this year. As the biggest box office miracle in the film industry in the past ten years, it really makes no sense not to give him one or two awards. And his movie is indeed quite interesting, at least there are really no problems with the script. "

"No." Ji Chengxing once again recalled the scene where he acted opposite Ye Che just now and shook his head: "I'm talking about the next Chinese Film Best Actor Award."

"Ah?" Liu Dongchuan couldn't help but glance in the rearview mirror several times to confirm that Ji Chengxing was not joking. "How long has he been in the film and television industry? How could such a major award fall into his hands?"

What is the concept of the Chinese Film Best Actor Award?

It can be said that the most outstanding actors in the world are competing for this award!

It is said to be the Chinese Film Best Actor Award, but in fact this award has long been established as a world-class award. Not only Chinese actors regard it as an honor, but even actors all over the world think so!

Such a meaningful award can be given to an actor who has only been in the film and television industry for less than two years?

"In terms of acting skills alone, he has this ability." Ji Chengxing, who seemed to have thought of something and had a somewhat incredible look on his face, continued: "I almost forgot about his identity as a director. It's no exaggeration. He said that according to the current script of this movie, as long as the movie is shot well, it will definitely win the Academy Awards!"

Why do you sound like the Best Director and Best Actor awards are going to be awarded to him?

Is it that exaggerated?

After glancing at Ji Chengxing again, Liu Dongchuan, who seemed to understand something, asked: "So, as for the role, you didn't get it? Is it still Chen Yongren?"

"Maybe it's because he is a screenwriter and he understands the character much better than me. I'd rather not think about this role." Ji Chengxing sighed slightly and continued: "If there is any announcement next, let me know first. Well, I’m going to continue to think about the character, and I don’t have time to do other things.”

"Row."

"That's right." Ji Chengxing thought of something again and said, "We were quite happy chatting, and then Director Ye mentioned to me that the crew's funds were a bit tight, and then I casually agreed to give him a discount on the remuneration. , you should grasp this when negotiating the contract, and lower it appropriately."

Liu Dongchuan: "???"

What?

You just made 3.2 million, and the fathers of the sponsors are eager to throw checks in your face. You say that your crew is short of funds?

What a liar!

When Liu Dongchuan was in a mess in the wind, Ye Che was also mentioning this matter to Su Shibai.

After hearing what Ye Che said, Su Shibai also asked in confusion: "When have the crew's funds been tight? After the news that you were going to make a new movie was released, I have rejected twenty or thirty investors these days. Yes, you said no, why are funds still tight?"

"How can I make money if others invest?" Ye Che glanced at Su Shibai.

"Okay!" Su Shibai pointed at Ye Che as if he had discovered a new world and said: "You used to have thick eyebrows and big eyes, but I didn't expect that you have become bad now. You only think about making money, right?"

"It's useful." After a simple explanation, Ye Che, who was sitting on the office chair and spinning around, suddenly asked: "Tell me, if I want to make one billion, how much should I invest in this movie? How much is the box office? How many should there be?”

"Should I do the math?! How much do you want to earn?" Su Shibai, who casually agreed, was about to start calculating, but when she reacted, her eyes widened: "This is so fast. It’s as much as my company’s revenue in half a year! You kid actually wants to earn enough from just one movie, what do you want to do?!”

"Just tell me how much box office you want."

Su Shibai: "."

You kid really dare to think about it

Do you think money is cabbage? ! (End of chapter)
