This star’s style is wrong

"This movie is actually a man's drama, and the female characters don't have many roles. I don't know if Sister Huiling is interested."

Fang Xing didn't hide it, he made it clear while drinking tea and chatting.

In the current movie market, male actors are basically responsible for the box office.

Deng Huiling is very clear about this.

Fortunately, in the past few years, there have been some movies with more emotional scenes, which can give actresses more room to perform.

If we go back a few years, the film market will really be a battlefield purely for male actors.

The movie Fang Xing is planning to shoot this time is also a men's drama.

The female character is mainly a foil, without much room for development.

Even so, it is a rare opportunity for actresses who want to enter the film industry.

Take Lin Yingxue as an example.

Because Lin Yingxue played a character in "Crazy Stone", even the rank was beyond the seventh rank.

However, "Crazy Stone" won the summer box office championship.

Lin Yingxue's resume clearly states that the total box office was 2.4 billion.

This is the result.

On the contrary, Tang Huiling got two movie roles from Shengqi Entertainment, and neither of them made any splash.

Nowadays, if film companies are looking for an actress to make a movie, they will definitely choose Lin Yingxue instead of Tang Huiling.

Even though Tang Huiling has won three post-visual trophies and Lin Yingxue has not won one, the film market still believes in Lin Yingxue more.

Because the film market does not recognize the achievements of TV series.

In fact, Deng Huiling's position as a celebrity in the field of TV dramas is already on the ceiling.

There is no shortage of status, popularity, and money.

However, if she wanted to act in a movie, it would be equivalent to starting all over again.

Although you don't have to start from a walk-on role, it is difficult to play an important role as a major movie director.

If given the choice, film directors would of course give priority to actresses with film successes rather than TV drama actors.

Therefore, Deng Huiling's situation is very embarrassing now.

If she wanted to act in movies, she would have to let go of her stature and play roles with few roles.

However, this is inconsistent with her status in the TV industry.

It is also for this reason that most actors who have become famous in the field of TV dramas choose to stay in their comfort zone.

After all, if he goes to act in a movie, if he pounces, he will be ridiculed.

In fact, Deng Huiling is in this situation now.

If she acted in a TV series, she would have the ability to handle the ratings, but in the film industry, she would not be able to do what she wants.

The two entertainment movies she acted in before were nothing short of spectacular. They were occasionally picked up by the entertainment media and were basically ridiculed. Even if the words were used more euphemistically, they were still ridiculed.

actually.

Deng Huiling's agent had previously advised her to give up movies and return to the comfort zone of TV dramas, where she is still the envy of everyone.

Deng Huiling has also considered giving up movies. As long as she is willing to give up movies, her future will be easy. She will make a TV series in two or three years, and she can retreat behind the scenes in a few years.

However, she was always unwilling to give in, so when she heard that Fang Xing was going to make a new movie, she became interested again.

Therefore, even though Fang Xing said that the new movie was about men, she still wanted to act in it, even if it was just to be a foil.

This is the situation in the film industry. If an actress can serve as a foil in a high-grossing movie, it is already an opportunity for many actresses to seize the lead.

Deng Huiling nodded and smiled: "If Director Fang thinks I am suitable, I am willing to give it a try."

Fang Xing heard that she acted in a movie with Shengqi Entertainment, but the box office was only a few million.

Seeing that she was still very committed to the big screen, he thought for a moment and then agreed: "Okay then. The role that is more suitable for you is the fiancée of the second male lead, a novel writer. Go back and get a feel for the role, and then make an appointment for an audition. "

"Okay, thank you, Director Fang." Deng Huiling suddenly felt better after getting this opportunity.

This time is different from the two movies produced by Shengqi Entertainment. This time it is Fang Xing’s movie.

Fang Xing is not only making waves in the field of TV dramas, but also proved his strength on the big screen with "Crazy Stone".

With this kind of director, even if he is just a vase, he will be a vase worth billions in box office.

Even if the box office of this new movie is not as good as "Crazy Stone", she will be satisfied as long as it has 1 billion.

She doesn’t even need 1 billion, but 500 million, or even less, she would be satisfied.

After all, the two movies she acted in before had a combined box office of just over 10 million, and she was embarrassed to tell people that she had acted in movies.

…

The casting requirements for the female role this time are not high.

The reason why Fang Xing was willing to invite Deng Huiling to star was because he felt that her acting skills were absolutely sufficient and even had some leftover.

Therefore, the casting of the female characters was simple and not many audition invitations were sent out.

Deng Huiling attended the audition according to the time and it was decided.

Another female character who has a lot of roles is a psychiatrist. Lin Yingxue participated in the audition. After seeing it, there were no problems, so she decided directly.

The audition for actresses is simple, but the requirements for male actors are relatively high.

"Second male lead, I want a handsome guy, a tough guy. Don't ask me for an idol. I want a handsome guy who is upright, resolute, and angular." Fang Xing read the second male actors collected by the casting team. Very dissatisfied with my resume.

In fact, in this movie, both the male and female protagonists can be said to be the male protagonists. In fact, it is a drama with two male protagonists.

However, in order to distinguish the roles, the first male and the second male are distinguished.

Since one of the key points in selecting the second male lead is to be handsome, someone in the casting team misunderstood it.

I thought I was looking for the kind of "handsome" that the fandom likes now, so the resumes I submitted all had idol-style looks, or Internet celebrity style, focusing on a fair and delicate look.

It was completely opposite to Fang Xing's request.

After reading his resume, Fang Xing cursed: "Can you find me some actors who look like men?"

Qiao Yinghong suggested: "Would you like to let Wang Kai try it?"

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said, "Whenever he gains insight, come over and audition."

In fact, Fang Xing had thought about Wang Kai from the beginning.

His image is consistent, but his acting skills may not be enough.

However, it depends on whether it can be trained.

Wang Kai heard that it was an audition for a new movie and rushed over that afternoon to audition.

but.

After the audition, Fang Xing was not satisfied with his performance.

Wang Kai has only acted in TV series so far. In TV series, his acting skills are good, but in movies, there is still a bit of a gap.

Moreover, this is because the second actor's acting skills are actually not the most demanding in the entire movie.

Fang Xing repeated the play and asked him to try it three times, but it still didn't feel right.

After thinking about it seriously, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "The second male lead needs to be found by someone else. It's okay to have a supporting role. Do you want to give it a try?"

When Wang Kai heard that he had the opportunity to appear on the big screen, he immediately agreed: "I am willing. As long as I can play it, I can play any role."

Fang Xing said, "The character is a police villain. I'll ask the assistant director to give you the script in a few days."

"Okay." Wang Kai was overjoyed.

…

Regarding the casting of the second male lead, it is difficult to choose the right one if you wait for the actors to actively submit their resumes.

After all, if you want to find a movie actor with good acting skills and good looks, and let him come to you, it's strange that you can find him.

Therefore, Fang Xing began to look through the film industry and the list of nominations for film awards in the past ten years.

I plan to find a Best Actor directly, or someone nominated for Best Actor.

I really found one that suits me very well.

Translated by Liu Han, 37 years old, with a strong and strong appearance, sharp edges and corners, and very obvious handsomeness.

He was nominated for Best Actor at this year's Jinhua Awards together with Guo Shi, but he did not win the award in the end.

In addition, Liu Hanyi also won the Best Actor Award at the Golden Palm Film Awards Ceremony in Hong Kong, so he is a powerful actor in Hong Kong and is very well-known.

Fang Xing felt that his image was very suitable, so he started looking for his movies to watch. After watching two of them, he felt that his acting skills were pretty good.

Although it has not reached the peak level, it is definitely enough to appear in this movie.

Fang Xing liked Liu Hanyi and asked the casting director to contact him directly.

"Crazy Stone" has indeed made a name for itself in the film industry, so when the casting director contacted Liu Hanyi, he was not rejected directly. After careful communication, he wanted to read the script first.

Since Liu Hanyi is already the best actor in Hong Kong, he has no shortage of movie resources and has many movie scripts to choose from.

Therefore, Liu Hanyi cannot be invited just by chatting with him.

Fang Xing first asked the casting director to bring the script for discussion to see if it could be negotiated. If not, let's talk about it.

At the same time, Fang Xing also auditions other actors.

In this movie, the first four male actors all need to be talented.

In addition to the male lead and lead actor, we also need to find a capable actor to play the lead male lead, a very imposing police superintendent.

Fang Xing had already decided who he was looking for and sent a greeting message directly to the king of Hong Kong, Liang Youhua, asking if he was interested in starring in a new movie.

Since Liang Youhua starred in the international thief Mike in "Crazy Stone", his popularity in China has soared.

Originally, Liang Youhua appeared in "Crazy Stone" just because of the favor of Penguin Pictures President Zhang Changfeng.

Unexpectedly, after "Crazy Stone" won the summer box office championship, Liang Youhua gained a lot in the mainland.

This time, I heard that Fang Xing wanted to invite him to star in a new movie.

And this time he is one of the leading actors.

Liang Youhua was very happy and promised to give a reply after reading the script.

As the King of Hong Kong, Liang Youhua cherishes feathers very much. Even if he has a good relationship with Fang Xing, he will not agree directly. He still has to read the script before making a decision.

After all, he has made many bad movies because he returned favors.

Making a bad movie actually has a bad reputation. If the audience is deceived too many times, they will not go to the cinema in the future.

…

Hearing that Liang Youhua was interested, Fang Xing personally went to Xiangjiang to deliver the script and even visited Liang Youhua's home.

"Here is the script. The King has a look." Fang Xing handed the script over.

"Don't call me Heavenly King. It will be very embarrassing if no one else hears you."

Liang Youhua said, taking the script with both hands, looking at the name on the cover, and read out: ""Infernal Affairs", this is a police movie, I will definitely finish it as soon as possible."

Fang Xing added: "It's an undercover story, two-way undercover. I would like to ask the king to play a police superintendent. This time it will be a starring role, not a guest appearance."

"Okay, I will reply as soon as possible." Liang Youhua agreed.

Two days passed.

After Liang Youhua read the script, he immediately agreed to star and asked his agent to come to Donghai to sign the contract that day.

After signing the contract with Liang Youhua, Ark Culture officially announced that the King of Hong Kong would join the new movie "Infernal Affairs" and play the role of Superintendent Huang Zhicheng.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately became a hot search topic.

Since this is not the first time that Liang Youhua has acted in Fang Xing's movie, although the last time he acted in a friendly role, this time he is marked as the leading actor, which means that there will be no shortage of roles.

As soon as this entertainment news came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions among many netizens:

【Fuck! The King of Heaven is going to act in Fang Xing’s movie again, is it true? 】

[Liang Youhua also stars, doesn’t it mean that the quality of this new movie is guaranteed? 】

[That’s hard to say. Liang Youhua has made many bad movies as a favor. However, because these bad movies have no splash, they are generally ignored. If this time it's just for Fang Xing's favor, it might be a bad movie. 】

[Wait a minute, King Liang doesn’t owe Fang Xing any favors, right? It must be Fang Xing who owes the King a favor, right? "Crazy Stone" King is a friendly star. This is not how you repay a favor. 】

[This time it’s the starring role, so I’m looking forward to it anyway. For Liang Youhua's sake, I had to buy this movie ticket. 】

…

Since Liang Youhua is the king of Xiangjiang, this entertainment gossip spread everywhere in Xiangjiang.

Originally Liu Hanyi was still hesitating whether to act in "Infernal Affairs", but suddenly he heard that Liang Youhua had accepted the role, which was a bit surprising.

Liu Hanyi hesitated because the role given to him by Fang Xing was "Liu Jianming" in "Infernal Affairs".

This is actually a villain, an undercover agent placed by a criminal group in the police station.

Liu Hanyi is already the best actor in Jinzun and has many movie scripts to accept, all of which are male protagonists.

As for Fang Xing's script, he wanted to play the villain, so he was a little hesitant.

However, he has read the script and thinks it is very good.

He even wanted to ask if he could play the male lead "Chen Yongren".

However, before I had time to ask, Liang Youhua had officially announced that he would star in "Infernal Affairs".

After discussing with her agent, Liu Hanyi immediately decided to star in "Infernal Affairs" and then started negotiating film contracts.

Three days later.

Ark Culture has once again officially announced that actor Liu Hanyi has joined "Infernal Affairs", also starring.

As soon as this news came out, it once again attracted widespread attention.

Because this time, two movie stars are starring in "Infernal Affairs", and the lineup is a bit scary.

How could the entertainment media miss this opportunity to gain popularity? They started reporting one after another:

[Two major movie stars have officially announced their starring roles in "Infernal Affairs". What is the magic of this movie? Can it attract two movie stars to join? 】

Under these entertainment news, netizens rushed to discuss:

[I remember that in this movie, Fang Xing was going to play the lead actor himself. He hired two movie stars to match him. Isn't this too exaggerated? 】

[It doesn’t count as matching. All starring. 】

[This hasn’t even started yet, and I’m already tearing it up. 】

[In movies, it’s normal for a movie star to become a second or third actor. Especially in movies where movie stars gather together, five or six roles may be played by movie stars. 】

[After all, isn’t it normal for the summer box office champion to collaborate with a movie star? 】

[More than just the movie king, didn’t anyone notice? Deng Huiling also stars, and the movie queen also joined the cast. 】

【Fuck! This movie is really a bit scary with all the big names in movie stars and movie stars getting together. 】

[With so many movie stars and movie queens, wouldn’t the salary be astronomical? 】

[It’s hard to say, but I feel like Deng Huiling’s salary won’t be too high. TV drama actors who act in movies will definitely have to be demoted. 】

[I have begun to look forward to it inexplicably. When will the new movie be released this time? Is there any other film company that dares to challenge this blockbuster? 】
