This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 47 The Departed Walker

On the way back, Zhou Xun looked at Hao Yun with a strange look in his eyes.

"Ahem~ Sister Zhou, I'm only nineteen!" Hao Yun reminded her that even if you are very tough in this regard, please also consider ethics and morals.

I'm only nineteen, how can you bear it?

"Bah, little virgin!" Zhou Xun snorted. Brother Jing was more mature and charming.

Hao Yun gripped his pen tightly in anger and continued to write silently on the paper:
Gently pluck, twist, rub, and pick, first "Nichang" and then "Liuyao". The big strings are noisy like heavy rain, and the small strings are soft like whispers. The noise and softness are mixed, and the big and small pearls fall on a jade plate. The oriole's chirping is slippery under the flowers, and the gurgling spring is difficult to flow under the ice. The ice spring is cold and the strings are frozen, and the sound stops temporarily. There is a hidden sorrow and hatred, and at this time, silence is better than sound.

You, Old Bai, just happened to be a prostitute who married an honest man.

What kind of poetry do you write?

Just write it, but please don't make it so long.

And it’s so well written that I have to memorize the whole poem.

Hao Yun missed the Mizumu University student working at the cooking stall very much. It was too difficult to study without the wisdom he gained.

Zhou Xun...

Forget it. You can't force others to have things they don't have, such as a bear or the attributes of a top student.

While Hao Yun was working hard on "Pipa Xing", Lin Jianyue, Liu Weiqiang, Mai Zhaohui, Zhuang Wenqiang, Liu Furong and Liang Chaowei were having dinner in a tea restaurant.

Rumor has it that Liu Furong and Liang Chaowei are not on good terms.

That goes back to the period of the Five Tiger Generals.

The five tigers of TVB are Liu Furong, Felix Wong, Michael Miu, Edwin Tong and Leung Chiu Wai.

It is said that they are dissatisfied with TVB's exploitation and have agreed not to renew their contracts with TVB.

As a result, one day, Wong Yat-wah received the news: Wai Tsai had signed a contract with TVB alone.

After that, a rift began to arise between the Five Tiger Generals.

However, Huang Rihua said that it cannot be said that Liang Chaowei betrayed everyone. After all, everyone has different ambitions, and no one signed any agreement at the time, they just discussed it.

Liu Furong was hidden away for 400 days. When asked about his feelings, he said calmly:

"I consider Liang Chaowei as a brother, but I wonder if he also considers me as a brother."

Later, Liu Furong was nominated for Best Actor for his role in As Tears Go By. When asked about this again, he gave a different answer: "There was nothing wrong with Leung Chiu Wai's decision. Everyone has their own choices."

The competition between the two has never stopped, and Liu Furong is relatively inferior.

So some people said: "Liu Furong can't act as well as Liang Chaowei, can't sing as well as Zhang Xueyou, and can't dance as well as Guo Fucheng."

Liu Furong was very sad, but he encouraged himself:
"You need to have the spirit of Ah Q. I am a better actor than Guo Fucheng, a better dancer than Liang Chaowei, and more handsome than Zhang Xueyou."

There seems to be nothing wrong with it.

But in fact, time is really the most effective medicine.

The Five Tiger Generals have not been incompatible over the years, and everyone seems to have let go of the past.

When Miao Qiaowei's eyewear store opened, Liang Chaowei also showed up, but not as often as the others because he was originally a socially anxious person.

Liang Chaowei has also been a guest on Liu Furong's show, and several other tigers also came to support Liang Chaowei when he was on the show.

After Miao Qiaowei retired from the entertainment industry in 94, he still appeared as a guest on two of Liang Chaowei's programs. The Five Tigers continued to reunite publicly until 2000.

It's far from a breakup.

But the friendship is definitely not as good as it used to be. At least Liang Chaowei and the other tigers have gradually become estranged.

However, Liu Furong, Huang Rihua and Miao Qiaowei became closer and closer, while Tang Zhenye went into business - also because of Weng Meiling.

This is also normal.

Even if we are ordinary people, if we count our lives, how many friends we have known for twenty years are still close to each other?

At today's gathering, mainly a few other people talked, and as usual, Liang Chaowei just sat there most of the time.

"Weizai, what do you think?" Liu Wei Qiang suddenly asked.

"I don't know." Liang Chaowei shook his head.

"This role is about you when you were young. You have the most say and you must have your own ideas." Liu Wei Qiang was dissatisfied with his attitude.

Mai Zhaohui got some inspiration from Wu Yushen's "Face/Off" and after discussing with Liu Weiqiang, he wrote a script called "The Departed".

After he finished writing it, he sent it to Zhuang Wenqiang, who revised the script and wrote another letter to Mai Zhaohui for revisions.

In Mai Zhaohui's script conception, there was only the story line of the white man going undercover on the black side. Later, Liu Weiqiang added a lot of elements to the original script and added another line of the black man going to the white side. During the script revision process, the positioning of "The Departed" also changed. The movie script was originally focused on the battle of wits between black and white, but later the black element became stronger.

When preparations began, Mai Zhaohui set up two versions of the cast.

If we can get investment, we will invite Liu Furong and Liang Chaowei to act in the high-profile version; if we can't get investment, we will use our own money to invite Chen Guanxi and Li Cansen to act in the low-profile version.

As a result, Liu Furong helped to contact Huanyu’s CEO Lin Jianyue, who promised that he could do it without any pay.

Lin Jianyue spent 20 million for Liu Furong's sake.

This is how we had this meal together to discuss things.

The only disharmonious person is Liang Chaowei, he is too silent.

Everyone was discussing enthusiastically, but he was the only one eating peanuts in silence.

Are you dissatisfied with anything?
Not only was Liu Furong willing to reduce his pay to perform in the film, he also took the initiative to reduce his own role and increase Liang Chaowei's role, which resulted in the structure of two male protagonists.

Otherwise, you, Liang Chaowei, would just be the second male lead.

Liang Chaowei was silent for a moment, then said, "When I was filming in the mainland, I met a young actor who looked a lot like me."

"Look alike?" No one expected him to say this suddenly.

"No," Liang Chaowei recalled the days in the parking lot and said slowly: "It was very similar, very similar, very similar."

He shuddered after saying that.

"Are there no young people in Hong Kong?" Liu Wei Qiang did not directly refute Liang Chaowei's opinion. It was obvious that they were forcing him to speak.

Liang Chaowei continued to remain silent.

"How similar are they?" Liu Furong was curious.

He knew Liang Chaowei very well. Although this guy was a bit selfish, he always had a high opinion of his acting skills.

"Eighty to ninety percent."

Liang Chaowei didn't know how to estimate it, but Hao Yun's acting skills were definitely not as good as his.

And the difference is huge.

But in all these years since his debut, I haven't seen anyone else like him.

"What's his name?" Others began to become curious.

"Hao Yun." Liang Chaowei thought about it and realized that this was indeed the name.

"Hao Yun, good luck, lucky..." Liu Furong thought about the name carefully and found that he had never heard of it.

"Is he a newcomer who just debuted?" Liu Wei Qiang frowned.

He hopes that everyone involved can contribute to the box office.

In 1999, affected by the financial crisis, Hong Kong film industry entered an unprecedented downturn.

More than 20 directors represented by Er Dongsheng formed an alliance to call on stars to reduce their pay and take on low-budget films to save the sluggish Hong Kong film market.
Zhang Guorong was the first star to respond to this call at that time. He starred in the movie "Gun King" by new director Luo Zhiliang for a salary of 1 yuan. Unfortunately, the effect was mediocre and failed to cause any ripples in this stagnant water.

With the arrival of the millennium, the once glorious Hong Kong film industry entered a complete freezing period. Movies failed one after another, and most films found it difficult to maintain a box office of around 200 million. A film that could earn 500 million was considered a success.

If the movie they are preparing now only has a box office of 500 million, they will really lose everything.

"It seems so..." Liang Chaowei was actually not quite sure.

He didn't know much about Hao Yun, nor was he interested in knowing more, but when they talked about actors today, they needed someone to play the teenage years of him and Liu Furong, and he thought of the psychopath in the underground garage.

Like a shadow, it lingers!
"You met him when you were filming a movie. Didn't he also star in Zhang Yimou's movie?" Liu Furong keenly grasped the key point.

He knew that Liang Chaowei had recently starred in Zhang Yimou's blockbuster in mainland China.

That was a blockbuster movie with an investment of 30 million US dollars.

Nowadays, it is difficult for a movie to even earn HK$3512 at the box office in Hong Kong. Last year, the movie "Slimming Men and Women" starring him only grossed HK$ million, which was the annual champion.

Liang Chaowei didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Lucky, let's choose him, he doesn't have that many roles to play." Peter Lam made the decision.

"But... forget it, let's just choose him." Zhuang Wenqiang originally wanted to say what if they want to make a sequel.

But gave up again.

If this movie is successful, Liu Furong and Liang Chaowei will definitely be invited to make a sequel. If it fails, there is no point in talking about a sequel.
