Superstars start from HK Entertainment

Chapter 619 The peerless beauty Ye Quanzhen

At ten o'clock in the morning, the audition started on time.

For this audition, Huaren prepared three audition rooms.

Two of the main auditions were for some important supporting roles in the play.

He Jin and director Liu Zhenwei were responsible for auditioning Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, Kong Ci, Chu Chu and other leading actors.

The first audition role was Kong Ci.

In a previous life, this role was played by Christine Yang.

Christine Yang is the 1995 Miss Asia Champion and the Most Photogenic Miss.

In terms of appearance, she is certainly not bad. In the original version, her performance was also very good, making Kong Ci come to life.

He Jin originally thought about inviting her to play this role.

In addition to "New Oolong Yuan", her performance in another movie last year was even more outstanding.

In "Legend of Fire Cloud", a collaboration with the current number one female superstar in East Asia, Brigitte Lin, her role as Ying Xue directly overshadowed Brigitte Lin's protagonist.

But to be honest, this didn't improve her situation much.

As long as she has a good relationship with Hua Ren, she will definitely be considered for Hua Ren's future scenes.

Therefore, in order to save costs, He Jin and Liu Zhenwei discussed and decided to open the audition to the public.

He tilted his head to He Jin and asked in a low voice: "What do you think?"

In last year's "Laughing Forest Boy 2 New Oolong Courtyard" directed by Zhu Yanping, she only appeared for a few minutes, and she was deeply remembered by the audience with her amazing acting skills and beauty.

But after deliberation, they finally chose to give up these actresses who were already on the front lines of Hong Kong.

Although the salary of female stars is generally lower than that of male stars.

In recent years, the film salaries for actors in Hong Kong have been getting higher and higher. In the 1980s, an investment of several million was considered a large-scale production, and actors with first-line box office appeal could be invited to play the leading role. But now, an investment of several million Hong Kong dollars is considered a big production.

Maybe it's not enough for an actor's salary.

But Christine Yang has just won the Miss Asia title this year and is cooperating with the organizers of Miss Asia to attend various events.

Liu Zhenwei nodded and said to Ye Quanzhen.

However, they are all actors, and he is also an actor with good acting skills. Ye Quanzhen has made preparations in advance.

As a producer, the production of several consecutive films has made He Jin understand that film production must be frugal.

In the past few years, Wang Zuxian did it in "The Invincible 2" that year.

For open auditions like this, if big-name actors are not invited, they generally will not take the initiative to come.

It has been tepid for so many years, although last year she became a little popular, letting many viewers know that she is such a famous figure.

Well, you can ask Wang Jing for details, he is a leader.

Seeing this, He Jin nodded imperceptibly.

Of course, He Jin still understands that good news should not flow to outsiders.

To put it bluntly, it is an internal decision.

Others include Michelle Reis, Chung Chuhong, Wen Bixia, etc.

Liu Zhenwei is not like He Jin. He Jin is not a director. Although he is a producer, he is only in name only.

Therefore, in order to prevent the script from being leaked, none of the actors who came to audition this time received the script in advance.

Moreover, after attending the on-site audition, you must sign a confidentiality agreement and not disclose script information.

She has been involved in the Hong Kong entertainment industry since she participated in her first movie in 1987.

Let’s not talk about how much this is, but for her, this is definitely a beneficial and harmless thing.

It's just that they didn't expect that Ye Quanzhen, who has not become famous this year, would take the initiative to audition. This is really a surprise.

The actress standing in front of them was not an unknown person.

Plagiarism was common in Hong Kong in the 1990s. At this time, plagiarism was completely legal and legal, and all major directors in Hong Kong had done it.

Her name is Ye Quanzhen. She filmed her first movie "Snow is Burning" in 1987. She was not well-known before, but her two movies last year made her famous and she can be called a new generation goddess.

This money seems to be very little for their 70 million investment movie.

Therefore, she watched it twice, memorized the lines, worked on her feelings for a while, and then signaled to He Jin and others that she was ready.

He Jin glanced at the script Liu Zhenwei handed over, and several paragraphs were marked on it.

To be honest, this section is probably the most challenging part of Kong Ci’s acting in this drama.

"Director Liu, Brother Jin, hello!"

But they are going to do special effects for this movie, and they are not just simple special effects.

"You never ask why?"

Considering that the film was about to start shooting, it was impossible for the crew to wait for her, so He Jin gave up inviting her and chose to audition all female stars in Hong Kong.

But I won’t talk about actresses such as Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung, Joey Wong, Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen, Rosamund Kwan and other current first-class actresses.

Even more than male stars.

Anyone who has watched Fengyun knows that Kong Ci is a big scumbag. One moment she loves Nie Feng, and the next she loves Bu Jingyun. In fact, this greedy girl actually wants to have both.

As Huaren Film and Television, which has only made its fortune a few years ago, although it has top male stars such as He Jin and Louis Koo.

Although he still made money in the end, who wouldn't want to make more?

The Speed ​​series he previously supervised ended up wasting a lot of money because of his lack of economy.

Ye Quanzhen took the script and began to read it carefully.

"Just call me Jinzai. I should be younger than you. Don't be too nervous. To be honest, I didn't know you would come to audition for this role. If I had known, I might have decided to let you play this role directly instead of making a big fanfare about it.

Audition.”

After all, in their previous films, the director directly invited them to the door, and then directly assigned them to play the role. Now it seems a bit embarrassing for them to take the initiative to audition.

He didn't speak too fully.

But in terms of actresses, there are almost no direct actors.

In such a fierce competition, everyone wants to find a film company as a backer.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ye Quanzhen's Kong Ci is not only more beautiful and charming, but also has better acting skills than Yang Christine in the original version.

Hearing the sound, He Jin looked up and his eyes lit up when he saw the person coming.

Therefore, apart from those specially invited to audition, the targets of He Jin and others are all new actors.

For example, Wu Jing was selected by He Jin as the candidate to play Qin Shuang.

Well, apart from the role mismatch, the biggest reason is actually that He Jin and Liu Zhenwei cannot afford the pay.

People without connections almost never have a chance.

"Director Liu, Brother Jin, I want to audition for the role of Kong Ci."

The person who came was wearing a pale white short skirt and had a cold temperament with a sense of weakness, which made He Jin feel like the first time he met the little Jew.

If the role is suitable, he will definitely give priority to his own company, so this unspoken rule also exists in Huaren.

In addition to the Miss Xiangjiang and Miss Asia contests held every year in Xiangjiang, there are also those from Taiwan like her, and there are dozens if not hundreds.

And now, Hua Ren has set a precedent and invited all the main actors of the drama to audition. This has a huge impact on the current Hong Kong film market.

Therefore, Ye Quanzhen didn't know the script at all before.

So he kept a straight face.

"I think it's OK!"

Ye Quanzhen chatted with He Jin for a few words. He was no longer as nervous as before and seemed to speak calmly and generously.

He did not avoid Ye Quanzhen.

To be honest, there are not many actresses who can outshine Brigitte Lin in the same drama and make the audience focus on her.

He Jin participated in writing a large part of the script, so he knew the script very well. With just a cursory glance, he knew which part Liu Zhenwei asked Ye Quanzhen to perform.

But the salaries of people like Joey Wong, Maggie Cheung and others are still one to two million.

Liu Zhenwei nodded, picked up the script, and said in Bu Jingyun's tone:

All of these people are beautiful.

To be honest, Huaren's audition was a first of its kind.

For Ye Quanzhen, this role is definitely an opportunity for her.

Liu Zhenwei had a few more lines with Ye Quanzhen, and when he saw that she was responding well, he stopped and continued to audition her lines.

That's the part for Ye Quanzhen to perform.

"You go back and wait for notification. If there is no one better than you later, then you will be the actor of this role!"

This caused Ye Quanzhen to look at He Jin nervously.

When it came to choosing male stars, there were only a few such as the Five Heavenly Kings and Tony Leung.

He Jin smiled and nodded to Ye Quanzhen, expressing his approval for her.

"Thank you Jinzai!"

"Come on, try this scene!"

It's the part where Kong Ci and Nie Feng get married, and Bu Jingyun comes to steal the marriage.

And Ye Quanzhen was interested in Hua Ren.

If you want to perform that kind of feeling, it will be a great test for the actor's acting skills.

Because in the previous Xiangjiang movies, the main actors of each film were already decided in the planning stage.

"Ms. Ye, you're welcome, can you tell me which role you want to audition for?"

Ye Quanzhen enters the scene in one second, as if she is Kong Ci at that moment, fully embodying the spirituality and complexity of the character.

It’s not like He Jin and Liu Zhenwei never thought of inviting people like Qiu Shuzhen and Wang Zuxian to play the two female leads.

In addition to traveling to various locations in the mainland for filming and various expenses, this is not much at all.

The investors or the director will let whoever they think is suitable.

Therefore, when she wanted to get involved with Huaren Film and Television, she was very afraid of saying "no".

Ye Quan really wanted to act in "The Heroes of the World", and at the same time, she also wanted to take this opportunity to hook up with Hua Ren.

There are too many actresses in Hong Kong.

If a more suitable person doesn't appear in today's interview, the role of Qin Shuang will almost certainly belong to him.

"Why did you marry Nie Feng?"

He Jin and Liu Zhenwei looked at each other, and they both decided in their hearts that they planned to hand over the role of Kong Ci to Ye Quanzhen.

It has been announced that Huaren's film "Wind and Cloud Dominates the World" is adapted from the comic book "Feng Yun". She must have read the comic before coming here and had a general understanding of the role she was auditioning for.

As a director, he has to establish his authority to prevent actors from being disobedient during filming.

This is so that if a better actor comes along later, I can easily refuse.

"Thank you! Thank you, Director Liu, thank you Jin... Zai!"

Although Ye Quanzhen did not receive a definite answer, Liu Zhenwei's words still gave her a little confidence.

All she can do now is pray that no actress better than her will appear in the future.
