This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 170 Casting for Infernal Affairs 2
More than a month has passed and Zhang Guorong has been basically forgotten. People will not neglect their lives because of the death of a person.

Hao Yun's treatment in Hong Kong is much better than the last time he came.

The last time he came he had to take a taxi by himself, but this time the crew sent a car to pick him up. After all, he is nominally the second male lead and his ranking is relatively high.

When we arrived at the crew, we were given a separate room in the hotel.

Finally, he didn't have to live with Chen Guanxi anymore - in fact, it was Chen Guanxi who asked to live alone, and the crew considered that the difference in treatment should not be too obvious, so they simply arranged a single room for Hao Yun as well.

In addition, when he came for the first time, although Liu Wei Qiang met him, the meeting ended in just a few minutes.

Now, Liu Wei Qiang even poured him some tea, as if he wanted to have a good chat with him.

Many times, whether you are popular or not cannot be judged by just bragging.

It depends on the treatment you receive.

Although it was an accident that Hao Yun was able to star in "Infernal Affairs 2", the fact that he was able to participate in the Berlin Film Festival itself shows his strength.

This is something that many young Hong Kong actors cannot do.

Those from Hong Kong who went to attend the Berlin Film Festival were Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu and Li Ming, all of whom are entertainers of the older generation.

"Yunzai, long time no see. How come you have become so thin?" Liu Wei Qiang was surprised.

I used to call him Lucky, but now I know Hao Yun doesn’t like being called Lucky, so I also follow Liu Furong and call him Yunzai.

"I participated in an art film directed by Gu Changwei. The role in the film required me to be thinner. I have started to gain weight in the past few days and will build muscles." Hao Yun knew that he did not inform Liu Wei Qiang about his weight loss, and the other party actually had reason to be angry.

Young Chen Yongren was a man who often hit sandbags in the basement.

Although he didn't appear on screen much in the first film, the muscle lines revealed in some shots left a deep impression on the audience.

If the second part starts filming, it must not be too different.

"Okay, practice more when you have nothing to do. If you have any needs regarding catering or fitness, just tell the logistics department and we can help you hire a coach." Liu Wei Qiang was not angry.

There's no need to get angry over such a small matter.

And Hao Yun also said that he was starring in Gu Changwei's new film.

Liu Wei Qiang couldn't possibly not know who Gu Changwei was, which was definitely a good thing for "Infernal Affairs 2".

Everyone felt very sorry that "Infernal Affairs 1" was not released in mainland China.

The popularity of pirated CDs and their rave reviews made Liu Weiqiang, Lin Jianyue and others realize what a fortune they were missing out on.

"Infernal Affairs 2" will definitely be released in mainland China.

By then, Hao Yun and the newly joined Hu Jun will be the guarantee of the mainland box office.

"Thank you, director." Oh, there is still a free personal trainer for free, so I must get started with fitness.

"What do you think the box office performance of Infernal Affairs 2 will be if it is released in mainland China?" Liu Wei Qiang asked this question during a casual chat.

"It's hard to say. Piracy in mainland China is rampant. If we want to get high box office, we have to find a good distributor, and they have to pay special attention to our drama." Hao Yun spoke the truth and would not avoid this fact just because he is from the mainland.

Anyway, it wasn't him who pirated the version.

"That makes sense. We will consider it carefully when the time comes." Liu Wei Qiang didn't expect to get any good suggestions, but after hearing what Hao Yun said, he suddenly felt that it made sense.

The reason why "Hero" did okay at the box office was because the anti-theft panels were well made.

"As for the rest, I can't really explain it. I haven't even read the script. By the way, director, are there many emotional scenes in my play?" Hao Yun asked curiously.

Chen Yongren has two CPs in the story of "Infernal Affairs".

One is Xiao Yaxuan's ex-girlfriend May, the two even have a daughter, and the other is Chen Huiling's psychologist Li Xin'er. Now it's the young Chen Yongren's play, so it must be Xiao Yaxuan's May.

"It's okay, not too many. The original plan was to let Elva (Xiao Yaxuan) play the role, but she is busy promoting her new album and has no time at all, so we have to find another actress to play opposite you." Liu Wei Qiang didn't care too much about this, because this role only has a few scenes in total, and none of them are too important.

"Have you considered looking for actors from the mainland?" Hao Yun asked.

"We have considered Dong Lian. She's been very popular in mainland China recently, but she and Liang Chaowei are acting in other dramas." Liu Weiqiang and his team considered mainland actors, not because Hong Kong does not have young and beautiful actresses, but for the mainland box office.

If Dong Lian could perform, it would definitely be a hot topic.

Unfortunately, the role was too small and Dong Lian didn't think highly of it. She signed a contract with Wang Jiawei's company and became Liang Chaowei's junior sister, getting the opportunity to work with Liang Chaowei.

Otherwise, she would have scrambled to play the role, no matter how small it was.

"The girl who starred in "The Story of a Noble Family" with Dong Lian, the second female lead, is my classmate. How about I ask her if she's willing to act?"

Hao Yun didn't know whether Liu Wei Qiang had watched "The Story of a Noble Family".

In fact, as early as 37 years ago, TVB had adapted Zhang Henshui's "The Story of a Noble Family" into a TV series, and once attracted a large number of people. But that TV series was not called "The Story of a Noble Family", but "A Dream in Beijing".

The mainland version of "The Story of a Noble Family" may also be broadcast in Hong Kong, but definitely not now.

"Is it An Xiaoxi, the one who starred in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils with Hu Jun? It would be great if you could invite her over. I forgot to tell you that Hu Jun is also going to star in Infernal Affairs 2. We originally planned to invite Liang Jiahui, but the negotiations didn't go through."

People in Hong Kong have certainly not watched "The Story of a Noble Family", but as an insider, Liu Wei Qiang at least knows that "The Story of a Noble Family" is very popular.

As for An Xiaoxi, Hong Kong media previously reported that she will play the role of "Wang Yuyan".

She played the role of Wang Yuyan at the age of 15, which was big news in Hong Kong.

"I'll make a phone call and ask. After all, we don't have many scenes." Hao Yunde asked Aunt Liu.

He has both An Xiaoxi's and Aunt Liu's cell phone numbers.

This kind of thing must be discussed with Aunt Liu. She has no say in matters involving a little girl like An Xiaoxi.

"Then tell me when you get the result. This is our script." Liu Wei Qiang gave Hao Yun a script.

Hao Yun took the script and went back.

The script of the Hong Kong movie was as brief as ever. Hao Yun flipped through it for a while and finished it in no time.

The young May is mentioned in about three scenes.

One was when she met Sha Qiang, one was when she had an abortion, and the last one was when she was walking on the road with her daughter after Chen Yongren was released from prison and passed by Chen Yongren.

It turned out that Chen Yongren had met his daughter more than once.

"There are not many scenes, I have an abortion, I have a child, and there are cigarettes in my bag..." Hao Yun briefly explained the details of the role on the phone, and said, "I don't know if you, Aunt Liu, like this role. This role is all about acting with me. I estimate that I can finish the filming in two or three days."

"Hu Jun is also going to act, does he have many parts?" Aunt Liu over there seemed to be quite conflicted as well. His parts were really too few, and it was difficult for them to get more scenes in Hong Kong films.

In addition, although the boiling point has not been as serious since May, Hong Kong is still a severely affected area.

If the filming location is in the mainland, you may not have to worry about it.

"Not too many, but more than May." Hao Yun only had a simple script, but it was still visible.

"Infernal Affairs 2" is an "ensemble drama" and there is no so-called "male lead" or "male second lead" with important roles. However, there is really nothing special about the character of Hu Jun. The meaning of his existence is probably to be blown to death.

No wonder Liang Jiahui refused to act. May’s role is even less than his and is also quite useless.
