Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

Huang Jingyu is currently busy recording a variety show called "Let Go of My Baby".

Huang Jingyu's popularity has soared since the airing of "The Sharp Sword" and "Operation Red Sea".

She recently participated in Han Han's racing movie, and her salary reached 1000 million yuan.

"Brother Ze, call me!"

Huang Jingyu knocked on the door and swaggered in, his tall frame swaying slightly.

"Yes, Jingyu, please have a seat!" Zhang Ze smiled and waved to him.

"How have you been lately?"

"fine!"

Zhang Ze said, "I've seen you've been on a lot of variety shows and TV dramas lately. You should take care of your health and not overwork yourself."

Huang Jingyu replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Brother Ze, I'll be careful. I'll give it my all while I'm still young!"

"By the way, is there something you need from me this time?"

Zhang Ze paused for a moment and then said, "It's like this, our company has a new TV series project, a police drama about drug enforcement, and I'd like you to play the male lead!"

"That's great, thank you for your guidance, Brother Ze! I will definitely do my best in the performance!" Huang Jingyu said excitedly.

"However, this role is very challenging and will really test your acting skills, so you need to be mentally prepared!"

"Okay, don't worry! I will definitely study the role carefully."

At this moment, Zhang Ze handed him a script.

He said, "Studying the script is very important, but going deep into the field to understand the character is also essential."

"Could you adjust your schedule and take a few days to come with me to Guangdong to visit grassroots anti-drug police officers?"

"No problem, I'll prepare as soon as I get back!" Huang Jingyu replied very seriously.

After seeing Huang Jingyu off, Zhang Ze went to the "Breaking Ice" team building office.

At that moment, the casting assistant director was discussing matters with several other people in the office.

"Old Liu, we need to hurry up and finalize the other main supporting roles!" he reminded assistant director Liu Zhangmu.

"Hey! The director's here!"

Everyone in the office stood up.

"Director, we're also discussing the supporting roles!" Liu Zhangmu stood up and offered the main seat to Zhang Ze.

"Oh, how did your discussion go?" he asked.

"We originally planned to invite Mr. Ni Dahong to play the role of Uncle Dong, but Mr. Ni is currently very busy and will not be available until next year."

"Wow, Su Daqiang's really come back to life! 'All Is Well' has given him a second spring!" Zhang Ze joked with a laugh.

He has a very good relationship with Ni Dahong, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of Ni Dahong first when there was a role available.

However, since the schedule wasn't right, there was nothing we could do but choose someone else.

"Oh, right, I just remembered an actor who's quite good at acting. Let's all discuss him together."

The assistant director asked curiously, "Which teacher is the director referring to?"

Are you familiar with Wang Jinsong?

I've worked with him before; he played villains in both "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" and "Sharp Sword," and his portrayal of Scorpion was brilliant!

"Now that you mention it, I do remember. The character Scorpion is quite popular with the audience."

"His portrayal of the eunuch in 'Ming Dynasty 1566' was so memorable that netizens jokingly called him the number one eunuch actor!"

While everyone was discussing it, someone had already found a video of Wang Jinsong's performance online.

After discussing it together, everyone realized that Wang Jinsong was indeed a good fit for the role of Uncle Dong, the drug lord in the script.

Regarding the other two classic characters, everyone chose Wu Gang as the anti-drug bureau chief, Li Weimin.

Since the broadcast of "In the Name of the People", Wu Gang has become a household name for his role as Li Dakang.

Last year, he gained popularity among many viewers for his role in "Wolf Warrior 2".

He is one of the most popular veteran actors in the market today.

However, some disagreements arose when it came to deciding on the role of Zhao Jialiang.

Because the character Zhao Jialiang in this drama has been an undercover agent in Hong Kong for many years, it was decided to cast a Hong Kong actor as Zhao.

Only in this way can the authentic Hong Kong flavor be performed, but everyone is worried about who to choose.

There are just too many Hong Kong actors who are suitable for this role!

Some people suggested using Louis Koo, whose image and acting skills are beyond reproach;

Some suggested using Francis Ng, while others favored Simon Yam!

Hong Kong has a very developed police and gangster film industry, and many of the actors in these films are loved by audiences and have excellent acting skills.

There was definitely some difficulty in making choices when casting!

However, after some consideration, Zhang Ze chose Simon Yam as his first choice.

He and Brother Dahua are old friends, so he would definitely think of his friend if there were any good things happening.

However, this is just wishful thinking on his part. Whether a movie star would be willing to lower himself to act in a TV series is another matter entirely.

After that, everyone selected other main supporting roles.

With a rough idea of ​​who would be cast, the production team sped up their work.

The production team will handle the communication for the other roles, but Zhang Ze will need to personally intervene for Wu Gang and Simon Yam.

"Hey, Ze! What brings you to contact me? Are you in Hong Kong?"

The call connected, and Simon Yam's unhurried voice came from the other end.

"Brother Tat Wah, you were absolutely right! I'm planning to go to Hong Kong in a few days and see you there!"

"No problem! When are you coming? I'll arrange everything for you! Lan Kwai Fong or a yacht bikini party, which do you want to choose?"

"Haha, you're not just making this up and using me as an excuse, are you? Be careful, your sister-in-law will never forgive you!" He joked with Simon Yam.

After exchanging a few words, Zhang Ze got down to business.

"Hey, Brother Tat-wah, I'm planning to film a TV series about drug enforcement, and there's a role for an undercover drug dealer in Hong Kong. I'd like to invite you to play the part. Would you be interested?"

"Of course I'm interested. This kind of film is very positive, and I would definitely be happy to act in it."

"That's wonderful! It's a pleasure to work with you again!"

"I was really surprised that you agreed. I thought you, a movie star, wouldn't want to lower yourself like that!" Zhang Ze said somewhat embarrassedly.

"As long as the role is good, I'm willing to take it. Besides, Hong Kong films are declining now, so I don't have any other options!" Simon Yam said with a wry smile.

"It's settled then, Brother Dahua. This role is yours. I'll send you the script later so you can take a look."

After the two finished speaking, the production team and the other party's management team communicated.

After a week of discussion, Simon Yam's salary for the role of Zhao Jialiang was 1000 million, Huang Jingyu's was 2600 million, Wu Gang's was 600 million, and Wang Jinsong's was 300 million.
