This director is so innocent.

Chapter 83 I rubbed against smooth black stockings

Leung Ka-fai is a very good actor.

Many people call him the "King of a Thousand Faces".

Educated youth, hoodlums, emperors, gangsters, chivalrous heroes, high-ranking police officers —

These roles come naturally to him, and he portrays each one convincingly.

Netizens joked, "Give him a copy of 'Water Margin,' and he'll give you 108 heroes in return."

He and Andy Lau entered TVB's training program at the same time, graduated with 3As, and signed an eight-year contract, but he didn't agree.

TVB was the dominant force at that time, so acting opportunities naturally disappeared.

Later, she started dating Li Hanxiang's daughter, and Li Hanxiang took her to Beijing to film "The Empress Dowager".

This was his first time in Beijing. He couldn't speak Mandarin, and Aunt Xiaoqing, who was acting opposite him, was in a lot of trouble because she couldn't understand what he was saying and often yelled "cut".

Having no other choice, Li Hanxiang asked him to say the numbers, namely 12345.

Under such circumstances, he won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actor that year. Do you think the director was more brilliant or Leung Ka-fai was more brilliant?

He believes it's because the director is great, and because the director's camera work is excellent.

After winning the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actor, Leung Ka-fai was in high spirits and full of ambition, but he was hit with a rude awakening the next moment.

As if things weren't bad enough, Li Hanxiang's daughter also broke up with him at this time.

After that, it was all sorts of odd jobs and setting up a street stall.

Then came various movie series, and the line "You're stuck in traffic because you're driving a Mazda" was also filmed during this period.

Leung Ka-fai also experienced being forced to make movies by the triads. That year, he made 13 movies in a row, earning him the nickname "Leung Thirteen".

His peak period was probably when he filmed "The Lover".

It caused a sensation in France upon its release, breaking the French box office record that year.

This also caused a great stir in Hong Kong, because in their minds, they had only ever seen Western men pinning down Eastern women, and they never imagined that Eastern men could pin down Western women.

You know how prevalent triads were on Hong Kong Island in the early 1990s!

Many people say that the movie "The Eagle Shooting Heroes" was made by Wong Kar-wai because the filming period of "Ashes of Time" was too long and he felt sorry for the investors.

Actually, he was a Taiwanese gangster boss. With the Lunar New Year film season approaching, but Wong Kar-wai dragging his feet and not releasing the film after two years, he was furious and ordered his underlings to take guns out.

Wong Kar-wai was terrified and quickly pulled in his friend Lau Chun-wai to create "The Eagle Shooting Heroes" in 27 days.

This was the first time Zhang Guorong and Liang Jiahui had encountered such a situation, and they wanted to refuse to film. Liu Zhenwei then threatened them, saying, "You all have contracts, you know. If you don't film, Director Wang will get killed."

night.

It's the same private restaurant as yesterday.

Su Jin looked at Architect Jiang, who was standing next to Zhuang Liqi and smiling at him, and was a little confused.

Is this what it means to follow his arrangements?

This new flavor is even worse than Tangtang's!

-

After dinner, Architect Jiang and Su Jin went to the hotel for a friendly art exchange.

"Su Jin, are there any roles left in Ning Hao's new drama?" Architect Jiang drew small circles on Su Jin's chest.

"If you had asked a few days earlier, the money would have been distributed long ago." Su Jin's lies came out without hesitation.

"Ah!" Architect Jiang said, a little disappointed, and then asked, "What role do you play in it?"

"I didn't act in it; there wasn't a suitable role for me in this play."

"So what are your plans for your next film?"

"To film a TV series!"

"A TV series? Is it a project developed by your company? Do you have any that are suitable for me?" Architect Jiang perked up instantly, looking at Su Jin with shining eyes.

"Weren't you planning to release a record this year? Why are you thinking of acting in a TV series instead?"

Since signing with Chengtian, architect Jiang has been preparing for his record career and even went to Japan for training, so he hasn't acted in any dramas.

He released his first EP, "Breathing with Love," on the 5th of last month.

Those TV dramas like "Wrong Love" and "Our Youth Has Nowhere to Go" were all filmed before she graduated.

"Don't you know whether I can sing or not?" Jiang Yiyan said coquettishly.

"I think it's alright! At least you sing better than Liu Yifei."

"Hahaha—" Architect Jiang laughed heartily; she loved hearing that.

To be fair, Architect Jiang's singing is indeed better than Ya Huazi's.

If Ya Huazi is at the level of a KTV singer, then Architect Jiang is a KTV hit singer.

"Honestly, Su Jin, is there really a role that's suitable for me?"

"No, the actors were already cast. The only one left is Xiao Kalami, who is completely unsuitable for your status as the Empress Jiang!"

"Screw you, what kind of diva?" Architect Jiang didn't press the matter further. If she didn't have one, she didn't have one. She could focus on working on her album.

"I've been practicing yoga recently and have unlocked quite a few poses. Let's try them out."

Architect Jiang had recovered his strength and was ready to continue the fight.

One night of wind and rain, one night of passion.

The following morning, everyone went home and went to their own mothers.

Su Jin continued working, writing novels in her spare time, and occasionally visiting Du Yuan's studio to check on the post-production progress of "The Coffin in the Mountain".

Time passed slowly, and it was evening a week later.

Su Jin looked at the name displayed on her phone screen, a slight smile playing on her lips, and then pressed the answer button.

"Feed".

"Su Jin, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to a movie."

"Didn't you say that if I contacted you again, I'd be a puppy?"

"Get lost, are you going to watch it or not?"

"I won't look, unless you call out twice."

"roll."

Su Jin heard the busy tone on her phone but didn't care. Just as she was about to put her phone in her pocket, it rang again.

He pressed the answer button, but before he could even speak, he heard two angry "woof woof" sounds coming from the receiver.

Upon hearing this, Su Jin couldn't help but laugh, her lips parting into a wide grin.

"Give me the address, I'm coming over now."

"This side of Chengdu Road in Xicheng District."

OK.

Half an hour later.

Su Jin and Yang Mi, who was wearing a mask, entered a movie theater.

The movie we're going to watch later is "The Door," starring Yang Mi, Chen Kun, and Prince Shen, and directed by Li Shaohong.

It was released the day before yesterday, and it's a really terrible movie.

The movie was just starting to check tickets, so I could go straight in after buying my ticket.

Su Jin entered the screening room and found that there were very few people inside, so few that she could count them on two hands.

"Didn't they say Li Shaohong spent 30 million to make this movie? How come there are only a few people in it?"

Yang Mi was still angry with Su Jin and ignored him completely, heading straight to her seat.

A short while later, the movie started.

"I have a good idea, you shouldn't—"

The film opens with Chen Kun's narration, followed by shots of him and Huang Jue, then the scene changes to Yang Mi's appearance.

After watching for only five minutes, Su Jin couldn't help but fall asleep. It was just too boring, and the plot was nonsensical.

"The Door" is adapted from Zhou Dedong's novel "The Crossroads," a thriller, suspense, and horror film.

The novel "The Crossroads" is quite well written, but Li Shaohong is too self-important and didn't use much of the original plot, only the characters and story outline.

They also removed "Liang Sanli," a key character in the book, who was the soul of the story.

The soul was gone, and so was the ghostly aura.

Then it was forcibly turned into a psychological thriller.

Li Shaohong even put up a banner in front of the movie that read "A Tribute to Hitchcock," and was subsequently criticized.

Everyone who read it was furious, cursing her and saying she was using the master as a cover and misinterpreting the situation.

For example, just over ten minutes into the show, some audience members have already started grumbling and leaving.

"If you're not scary, why is my blind date throwing himself at me?"

Even Su Jin was woken up by the noise. Seeing the guy next to him swearing nonstop, he became a little curious.

If you're so angry, why don't you leave?

"Dude, if you don't like it that much, you can leave!"

"Stop going! The best part is yet to come! If I leave now, wouldn't I be wasting my time?"

"How can this lousy movie have any good parts?"

"You've seen the video of Chen Kun and Yang Mi having a passionate fight in the bathroom, completely naked, online?"

The two exchanged a glance and chuckled.

A video has indeed circulated online; it's very blurry and supposedly filmed secretly by staff.

Bullshit! It must be Rongxingda who saw the low attendance and leaked the video to attract viewers.

All the sex scenes in movies are there to attract audiences to the cinema; there is no other purpose.

Soon after, the passionate scene began.

That's really exciting.

The guy next to me, having finished watching this, was about to leave when he saw Su Jin and asked, "Dude, aren't you leaving?"

Su Jin pointed at Yang Mi, and her buddy glanced at Yang Mi, chuckling knowingly.

After that passionate scene, only a few young couples remained.

However, their minds were not on the movie at all; they were either kissing each other, snuggling together, or already making a move.

Su Jin was also bored, so she placed the back of her hand on Yang Mi's leg.

Then, without making a sound, he turned his hand over so that his palm was facing down.

Friction, friction —

I rubbed myself against the smooth black stockings.

Snapped.

Yang Mi suddenly grabbed Su Jin's hand, which was about to reach down to her abdomen, and said through gritted teeth in a low voice, "Su Jin, this is a movie theater. Don't push your luck."

Su Jin withdrew her hand with a bored expression. If it were Architect Jiang, he certainly wouldn't have refused his request.

"MiMi, let's go!"

"Hmm." Yang Mi got up and left. She didn't want to watch this lousy movie anymore; it was an insult to her eyes.

The moon hangs high, and the twinkling stars shimmer with a cool light, reflecting off the city lights.

Su Jin and Yang Mi walked down the street. The latter was a little downcast. After all, the movie she had been looking forward to had been released, but the reviews were terrible. Anyone would be upset in that situation.

"Okay, cheer up, it's not your fault the movie was bad."

"I know it wasn't my fault, but this is, after all, my second film!"

Yang Mi sighed and then said, "Su Jin, how did President Li end up making the movie like this?"

'

"They're standing too high up, criticizing this and that all day long, never considering the public's thoughts, and even thinking the audience is garbage."

"Mr. Li didn't insult the audience, did he?"

"Of course there is! Li Shaohong even published an article to respond to netizens."

"Is that so?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can search it online and you'll see."

"Fine, let them yell! It's none of my business. Let's go get some late-night snacks!"

The two found a barbecue stall nearby for a late-night snack, and then went to a nearby hotel to discuss art.

The following morning.

Su Jin warmly welcomed Zhou Xun, who had come to audition, and her agent Yu Guangzhao at the company.

This was the first time he had seen Zhou Xun in real life. She was wearing a black knitted hat and a plaid scarf, and she was so small that she didn't even reach his chest.

"Teacher Zhou, welcome, welcome! I grew up watching your shows since I was a child," Su Jin said shamelessly.

"Mr. Su is too kind," Zhou Xun said in his husky voice.

"Teacher Zhou, let me introduce you. This is Ning Hao, the director of 'Sheep Without a Shepherd'."

"Director Ning, hello." Zhou Xun shook hands with Ning Hao very politely.

Su Jin glanced at Ning Hao and saw that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were showing when he smiled. It seemed that he really liked Zhou Xun!

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they began to discuss business.

"Teacher Zhou, have you read the script for 'Sheep Without a Shepherd'?"

"I've read it, it's very good, but I'd like to see the whole script, but I don't know—"

"No problem." Su Jin took out the script of "Sheep Without a Shepherd" and handed it to her.

Zhou Xun took the script and sat down on the sofa to read it.

During this time, her agent, Yu Guangzhao, stepped in.

"President Su, you know how popular Zhou Xun is right now, so who did you choose for the male lead?"

"We've chosen actor Leung Ka-fai for the male lead, and he's already signed a contract with us."

Yu Guangzhao nodded in satisfaction and then asked, "The payment—"

80.

"President Su, our Zhou Xun is a Golden Horse and Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress winner."

In 2005, Zhou Xun won the Golden Horse and Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actress for her role in Chen Kexing's "Perhaps Love".

100.

"President Su, the box office performance of Zhou Xun's movie 'The Banquet' is—"

"Mr. Yu, 100 million is my bottom line, otherwise I will invite Zhao Wei."

Yu Guangzhao sensed the unquestionable tone in Su Jin's voice and quickly smiled, "One million it is! Consider it making a friend, President Su."

Making friends is a joke.

Zhou Xun's price tag is 100 million.

If Yu Guangzhao dares to say anything more, he'll turn around and invite Zhao Yanzi, and the fee will probably be 20 yuan lower.

It's not that Zhao Yanzi's salary is lower than Zhou Xun's; she's currently asking for around 100 million yuan.

The reasons for the low value have been explained earlier.

Zhao Yanzi has encountered several incidents in recent years, resulting in a bad reputation and several films that have flopped, earning her the title of "box office poison" from the media.

She desperately needs a good movie to prove herself, and she's not just saying she'll lower her fee for it.

The idea that if you lower your salary, people will think you're cheap and that you won't be able to raise it again is utter nonsense.

The entertainment industry has always followed only one rule: if you're popular and can make money for capitalists, you're a star, and you can ask for whatever salary you want.

If you're not famous, even if you don't want money, people might not want you.

That kind of claim is just something the fandom came up with to mock their rivals.

Then, the fans put him in a difficult position, making it harder to lower his salary.

After all, they need to make money from their fans!

If you don't meet my expectations, why should I pay for your things?

However, this only applies to popular celebrities; it doesn't matter to actors at all.

They don't make money off fans, so what do they care about?

They only care about the quality of the performance.
