Chapter 222 Finishing

The two film and television circles of Hong Kong Island and the Mainland exist as a team.

Mainland actors who want to make a name for themselves in Hong Kong's entertainment industry rarely get the chance.

In the same way, when Hong Kong actors go north, in addition to making money by cheating, it is also difficult to obtain high-quality drama booking resources!

It is precisely because of the times that Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat and others can star in mainland films, and Hong Kong directors can go north to direct films.

In this era, the Four Kings of Hong Kong, as well as Chow Yun-fat and others have been famous for a long time, and they are also very famous even in the mainland.

In addition, there is a lack of commercial film directors in the mainland.

It also gave them such an opportunity.

Apart from these people, it is difficult for other Hong Kong actors to obtain high-quality resources in the mainland.

For example, actors from TV stations such as Yang Christine, Yu Shiman, Xuan Xuan, and Zhou Haiwei.

Wang Shu glanced at the many actors in front of him and felt a little headache.

There are indeed a lot of people coming, but in the film field, they are all almost boring.

He does not deny that many of these people have already made famous works in the field of TV dramas, and many of them are first-line TV actors.

But in this era, it is difficult for TV drama actors to carry the banner in a "blockbuster" movie.

He also admitted that the actors in the room only came after receiving invitations from him to audition.

Although this is the case, the invitation from many people is just to give face.

Now that he has made friends with a lot of people, it is inevitable that he will have to do enough work on the surface for the sake of face.

After a day of hard work, a batch of people were selected and a few people were left. These people need to wait until the filming of "Secret Garden" is completed before the final candidates are determined.

That night, Wang Shu received a call from Han Sanping.

"How's the selection going?" After the call was connected, Han Sanping didn't waste any time and asked straight to the point.

Wang Shu pondered for a moment and said: "If Gong Li is the heroine, she still has to find a big-name male movie actor to play with her."

It doesn't need to be said by Wang Shu and Han Sanping also knows that without a male lead of sufficient status, a "blockbuster" will not look big.

"Who are you looking for?" Han Sanping asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Wang Shu said directly.

"The movie will be released in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, Japan and other places. How about looking for movie stars from Hong Kong Island?" Han Sanping suggested.

"Hong Kong movie star?" Wang Shu fell into thinking after hearing this.

He does not deny that in order for the film to sell better in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other places, there is no problem in finding Hong Kong stars to participate.

But now Andy Lau is filming The Movie, and Leung Ka Hui is filming "Apple" with Fan Binbin.

Chen Long, impossible.

Except for these few people, everyone else is either not suitable or has problems.

While Wang Shu was thinking about it, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

The filming of "Apple" will be completed in December, maybe Leung Ka Hui can be invited.

The main female lead is played by Gong Li, with Liang Jiahui and Zhou Xun as supporting actors. The cast is pretty good.

"Liu Dehua is bidding for his title at the auction, what about Liang Jiahui?" Wang Shu said.

"The Order" is a costume war drama, while "Apple" is an urban ethics drama. The different scenes lead to different settings, framing, shooting cycles, etc.

"Apple" was filmed in January, but "The Legend" took several months.

"Liang Jia Hui?" Han Sanping thought for a moment and then responded, "Okay."

The two continued chatting about casting for a while, then hung up the phone.

Wang Shu then pulled out Fan Binbin's phone number, and his fingers that were about to dial stopped again.

He did not have the contact information of Liang Jiahui, and Fan Binbin happened to be starring in "Apple" with Liang Jiahui.

He only needed to contact Liang Jiahui through Fan Binbin, and then chat with him about the drama appointment.

But this method probably made Fan Binbin very unhappy, so he stopped making the call again.

"It's better to contact through the company." Wang Shu muttered.

After dealing with the audition matter, Wang Shu immediately devoted himself to the filming of the idol drama "Secret Garden".

The success of "Secret Garden" lies in changing the Cinderella-like model of bitterness and taking a diversified route.

The heroine's character is strong but not overbearing, simple and straightforward, kind but not a virgin, and the male protagonist's rich second-generation image is real and three-dimensional.

The supporting characters such as best friends and love rivals are also very likable and have their own characteristics.

The plot of the whole drama is unconventional, the rhythm is tense and relaxed, and the characters' dialogues have countless highlights. For example: "You don't even know what I want to do, but you dare to say something and throw it away after playing with it a few times? Do you think you are qualified to play with me? I can tolerate race, color, religion, and sexual orientation, but I can't tolerate poverty. What's your expression like that? Is being poor your hobby and being dirty your specialty?"

"I roughly know which social class you, Gilloline, belong to, but I don't fully understand it. I will work hard for this, but you have to give me time. (What time? Time to study poverty?) My efforts are ridiculous At least I tried, and what did you do? Do you know what I'm really angry about? I kept warning you who I was, but you didn't even think about me for five minutes."

"What on earth do you want? What kind of woman is so cruel! I throw the box away and you ask me to pick it up or ask me to apologize. Give me a step to get down! How can you get down by yourself? (Don't you just want to see me like this? Did you just throw it away? If you have lost the car key now, go and pick it up!) You will die if you apologize!"

Lines like this.

The heroine is Cinderella, but she is not the silly and sweet Cinderella in the cliché idol drama, but a character with clear self-awareness and reason.

The male protagonist is a rich second generation, but he is not the rich second generation in cliché idol dramas, but similar to the rich second generation in real life.

Putting aside the setting of exchanging souls, the characters and other aspects are also unique.

As the male protagonist, Wang Shu had a larger share of the scenes, and he had delayed filming due to other matters. Now he came to the crew. In order not to delay Sun Li's schedule, he had to work overtime for filming.

He and Sun Li are now old partners, and the kiss scene between the two went smoothly, with almost no NG.

Others saw this and didn't think there was a problem.

Not to mention that Sun Li is already an actress who has acted in many movies, but the two have already co-starred in "Time Traveler" before, so it is normal for them to have a tacit understanding.

Since Wang Shu came to the crew, all the actors on the set wanted to know the news about the audition, but they were worried about causing embarrassment, so no one dared to speak up.

At this time, they also knew that actors for Wang Shu's new play were selected through audition invitations.

Since they did not receive an audition invitation, they could only be excluded.

A few people can understand after thinking about it for a moment. Since it is a "blockbuster" film, even the supporting roles must be respectable movie actors.
  10 month 24 day.

The average ratings of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" reached 14.36%, and the average ratings hit a new high, continuing to sweep the TV series broadcast by major TV stations across the country during the same period.

Although "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is indeed strong, there are really no strong TV series on domestic TV stations at this time in October.

It is precisely because of this that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" quickly occupied the market share despite being the only one company, and its ratings have steadily increased.

If there were high-quality dramas that could compete with "The Legend of Zhen Huan", then the inevitable ratings of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" would not have grown so steadily.

But throughout October, except for TV series with relatively good ratings such as "The Age of True Love", "Blade", "Flying Fairies", "Seven Fairies of Joy", there was no TV series that could seize a large market share.

And "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is broadcast on Yangshi TV, which is unique.

Therefore, as its reputation and popularity increased, while its ratings increased, the ratings of popular dramas such as "The Age of True Love", "Blade", "Flying Fairies" and "Seven Fairies" all declined.

"Flying Fairies" is a mythological drama starring Hu Ge and Lin Yichen, adapted from "The Fairy Match".

This drama premiered on Shancheng Video Channel as early as January, and now it is on Star TV for the first time.

In fact, in many remote places, because there are no decoding set-top boxes or satellite pots, they can only use antennas to watch a few TV stations such as the provincial comprehensive station.

It's just that you can only watch these TV stations, and sometimes you can be the first to see the premiere of new dramas.

Since the decoding set-top box can only watch YangTV and satellite TV, except for the TV series first broadcast on YangTV, it cannot do these.

As for Hu Ge, he had a car accident at the end of August. He had to be rescued for several hours to save his life. However, the assistant who was traveling with him failed to save his life and died.

Wang Shu also saw news reports at that time.

He could have changed everything by reminding him, but he didn't know Brother Hu, and he had been busy with work and had forgotten about it. He didn't remember it until he saw the news.

At the same time, he also remembered that Brother Hu was lucky enough to escape because the assistant happened to change seats with him.

Otherwise, he will be the one who cannot save his life.

On October 10, the drama film "Jade Warrior" co-produced by Finland and the Mainland was released.

Starring Zhang Jingchu and some foreign actors.

The response after its release was not strong, and the film did not win any awards.

Next year, Zhang Jingchu will hook up with Hong Kong Island and take on many Hong Kong films.

It's just that in this era, Hong Kong movies are already a thing of the past. At this time, people who still can't see the situation clearly and run to join the Hong Kong circle are similar to joining the national army in 49.

In the blink of an eye, November 11st came, and "Secret Garden" was successfully completed.

Even after the closing banquet, Bao Jianfeng, Luo Jing and others found it difficult to take the initiative to ask Wang Shu about the new play.

In the end, they all left with regret.

Sun Li didn't have a schedule. Although she was a little curious, she didn't ask any more questions.

And Liu Yan looked at Wang Shu with longing eyes, obviously he also had ideas for the role in the new play.

It's just that her position is too small and she is completely out of Wang Shu's consideration.

Liu Yan seemed to know this, so he didn't talk about this aspect from beginning to end, but just looked at Wang Shu eagerly.
