This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 509: Will I play "The Disciple" (asking for monthly tickets)

"You are so busy now, of course you have to make an appointment in advance," Liu Furong laughed and said, "This movie will probably be shot in early or mid-next year. Are you interested?"

"Brother Rong, I want to see the script." Hao Yun became serious.

The last time I chatted with Er Dongsheng, it was mostly perfunctory.

At this year's Academy Awards, Er Dongsheng won the Best Director award, the highest award for a director, with "One Nite in Mongkok", beating out Stephen Chow.

It's not because his movie is better than "Kung Fu".

But it is because he belongs to the core circle of Hong Kong films, the core of the core.

"Of course. I sent it to your email. Please check it. It is definitely a good story and the core is very meaningful."

Liu Furong's task was to get Hao Yun to seriously consider this project, and he did not want Hao Yun to agree to it directly.

The entertainment industry is full of scams. If Hao Yun agrees so easily, he will probably be scammed and lose both his kidneys sooner or later.

"Then I'll talk to you after I finish reading the script." Hao Yun hung up the phone and turned on his laptop.

There are actually very few complete scripts in Hong Kong.

There is a term called "flying paper", which refers to the phenomenon that the director and screenwriter do not have a complete script when filming begins, and they write while filming, and shoot one shot at a time.

Many movies, including "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Young and Dangerous", were released in this way.

When Xu Ke approached Ruan Jizhi to write A Chinese Ghost Story, Ruan had never written a ghost movie before and was nervous. Xu Ke said to him, "Just treat the female ghost as a PR lady. The female ghost Nie Xiaoqian is just like the PR lady. She is very energetic at night but dares not come out during the day. They both try their best to cheat men out of their money."

When Wu Yushen directed "A Better Tomorrow 2", he didn't even have any flying paper, just a story outline.

Er Dongsheng is a little better because he is also a screenwriter, but don't expect him to be much better, so the script sent to Hao Yun is hard to describe.

It is totally incomparable to the system rewards.

The system's script was so detailed that it was outrageous, and it was only a matter of helping Hao Yun draw the storyboards and assigning the actors.

However, although Er Dongsheng's script is rough, professionals have no problem reading it.

At least the core of the movie is presented.

Ali——Waiting to invite Hao Yun.

After seven years of undercover work, he became the most trusted person of Brother Kun. In the process of gradually getting closer to Brother Kun, he began to understand and sympathize with his situation, and gradually developed a family-like relationship with him.

At the same time, he sympathized with his neighbor Afen and her daughter and wanted to help them quit smoking, but failed.

In the end, the tragic death of Afen made him determined to destroy Brother Kun's entire business in one fell swoop.

This is the role that Er Dongsheng gave to Hao Yun.

Hao Yun moved the mouse and scrolled down to look at Afen. The person to be invited was Zhang Jingchu.

Hao Yun worked with her on "Peacock".

Does this mean they played siblings in the previous film and lovers in this one?

The villain Lin Kun has been decided to play Liu Furong.

In other words, Liu Furong plays a supporting role, while Hao Yun and Zhang Jingchu are the leading actors.

Liu Furong plays a villain again, is he trying to transform himself?

Er Dongsheng really spent a lot of money to get Liu Furong to be his partner.

It is extremely difficult for mainland actors to become leading actors in Hong Kong.

Li Lianjie doesn't count. Li Lianjie had long been a Hong Kong actor recognized by the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and later became a foreign actor. His ties with the mainland were severed very early.

If Hao Yun had not returned to the mainland.

He first participated in the big-name "Infernal Affairs", and then collaborated with Du Qifeng, Fang Long and others to shoot more than a dozen Hong Kong films. After several years of development, he is now probably regarded as a Hong Kong star like Li Lianjie.

That is to say, they became one of their own.

As for now, no one would regard Hao Yun as a Hong Kong star, and people in Hong Kong don’t have the nerve to do so.

Therefore, Er Dongsheng showed his sincerity when he gave Hao Yunnan the number one role.

Hao Yun did not rush to reply, but studied the script carefully, not only from the perspective of an actor, but also from the perspective of a director.

As a professional director who has already made three films, he can easily imagine what the story of the movie will be like and what states the characters will be in based on this crude script.

This male number one is a bit...

Well, not just a little bit, it’s extremely mediocre!
Hao Yun, who starred in "Infernal Affairs", quickly came to this conclusion.

The most outstanding one should be Liu Furong's Lin Kun.

This character seems to be a villain, and in fact he is a villain, but he is a villain with a very distinct image. He is a person, not a mask.

However, Hao Yun cannot play this role as his age is the biggest incongruity, a incongruity that even makeup cannot solve.

Zhang Jingchu's role...

It’s quite outstanding, but Hao Yun definitely can’t act it.

Ali is much worse than these two roles. If he had played the role, he would have been simply serving as a sedan chair for Liu Furong.

This is not a problem of acting, but the limitations of the character.

Hao Yun thought about it and decided to reject the role.

However, his focus remained on the role of Afen's husband. Compared with others, he was definitely a supporting role.

Afen’s husband, that’s just the description of his identity, he doesn’t even have a name.

There are very few scenes.

The reason why Hao Yun pays more attention to him is because this character plays a very important role in the play and is very three-dimensional.

This is a type of role that this actor with many faces has never tried before.

He is cruel and mean, and can only beg for mercy outside. But behind closed doors, he is domineering towards his wife and daughter, showing off his power. His hypocritical face gives people a vivid and realistic shock.

Er Dongsheng only wrote a few short fragments in the script, but he vividly portrayed the image of a drug addict who had lost his humanity and was cowardly and fearful.

Hao Yun feels that this character has more depth than the male lead Ali.

Hong Kong films are no longer doing well. The market is not doing well, and neither are the filmmakers. They will definitely get worse and worse in the future, but there are still many bright spots in some aspects.

It is really worth it for Hao Yun to try it out.

Afen’s husband added a note at the end saying “Gutian Le will be invited soon”. It seems that Er Dongsheng has noticed Gutian Le’s eagerness to transform.

Gutianle is also very popular now, and is the most popular one among the group of Liu Furong and Liang Chaowei.

The movie "Dragon City Years" starring him will be released on the 20th of this month.

He also endorsed Pepsi with Hao Yun.

"Brother Rong, sorry for the wait."

Hao Yun still called Liu Furong. Since it was Liu Furong who contacted him, it was unlikely that he would contact Er Dongsheng directly.

Although he also has Er Dongsheng's contact information.

"How's your consideration?" Liu Furong asked impatiently.

He is an exception among Hong Kong filmmakers. He does not look down on mainland actors like some people do.

In addition, Hao Yun's "Those Years" broke the box office record of Hong Kong movies, convincing many Hong Kong filmmakers, so no one would underestimate Hao Yun anymore.

For example, Huang Qiusheng, Du Shaqiang and others.

In the past, people more or less looked down on Hao Yun, saying that he was a mainlander who ran to Hong Kong to make a living.

Now they would chat about some interesting things during their cooperation with Hao Yun whenever they had time, making them seem like good friends.

"I'm not very interested in the role of Ali, so I won't play it."

Hao Yun did not beat around the bush. He had a good relationship with Liu Furong, so being straightforward would make things less awkward.

"That's a pity." Liu Furong could not hide his disappointment.

"However, I am somewhat interested in the role of Afen's husband. I saw it says that Gu Tianle is to be invited. I have a good relationship with Gu Ge. If they are already in talks, then so be it." Hao Yun had no intention of snatching the role.

The main reason is that it's not worth it. The script of "The Disciples" is not that good yet.

"It should not have been discussed yet. As far as I know, Brother Bao contacted you and Zhang Jing first." Liu Furong was not sure either, and added: "I'll call and ask. Wait for me for a few minutes. Forget it, I'll let Brother Bao call you."

After a few minutes, Hao Yun's phone rang again.

It was Er Dongsheng who called.

"Brother Bao, why did you go through so much trouble to find me? Given our friendship, can't you just call me without any worries?" Hao Yun took the initiative and started complaining right away.

However, this kind of complaint was very useful to Er Dongsheng.

He quickly said, "Haha, it was Rongzi who wanted to talk to you about something, so I let him bring it up first."

"Let's contact each other directly next time." It was impossible for Hao Yun to pursue the matter relentlessly.

Just a few words to show the intimacy will be enough.
