Chapter 5 Why don't you go to HK?
"Marriage of War, Liang Zhu", directed by Ma Chucheng.
In addition, Liu Yifei, Xu Hui would soon think of "Sword Butterfly".
It’s very complicated to explain. It’s probably because Liu Yifei was close to Huayi and was about to sign a contract. In order to welcome Liu Yifei, the most popular in those years, Huayi directly gave her two movies, one TV series, the TV series is "The Return of the Condor Heroes", the movies are "Kung Fu King" and "Martial Arts Liang Zhu"!
Later, both sides blew up, and the project "Martial Arts and Liang Zhu" was packaged and sold to Ma Chucheng, and the actors were replaced by Wu Zun and Cai Chenyan, and their names were also changed, and they were called "Sword Butterfly"!
No, isn’t there no Old Monster Xu in this time and space? How could there be “Martial Arts Liang Zhu”?
"Brother Wen, who directed the old version of "Liang Zhu"?"
Xu Hui asked pretending to be careless.
"There is no old version? These are the most common folk legends, "Eighteen Sends" and "Flying Butterflies"..."
Huang Wen glanced at Xu Hui with a strange look, and the latter quickly changed the topic: "Are you sure Liu Yifei will participate in this movie?"
Regarding "The Return of the Condor Heroes", Zhang Jizhong expressed his hope that Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi will star in an interview, and Huang Xiaoming is just a spare tire. There are big movies and TV series in the mainland that they all wanted to be performed by Hong Kong and Taiwan actors...
"This is a gift we Huayi prepared for her. The one who partnered with her is Gu Tianfeng..."
Huang Wen is very sure about this.
"But…"
Xu Hui struggled for a long time and said truthfully: "I heard that Liu Yifei is very difficult to get along with, and she didn't want to join Huayi..."
"The news you heard from there?"
Huang Wen looked at him strangely and continued, "She has starred in "Kung Fu King", can she still go to another company?"
All the gifts have been received, can you still dare to turn against others?
“…”
Xu Hui smiled and didn't say much. After thinking about Liu Tianxian, who was confused as a third-tier family in the future, she probably never thought that "Kung Fu King" was already her peak period!
"Don't just laugh, what do you think of this drama?"
After all, it was Xu Hui's big screen debut, and Huang Wen was very concerned.
"What can I think? However, director Ma Chucheng may not be willing to use me, right?"
“…Why do you say that?”
"I'm not a HK person. I guess even if he lets me join the group, he will only play a villain at most."
In the past few years, mainland actors have only been able to play some roles such as the anti-number number one and the second male lead under the director HK.
"What's wrong with the villain? Many actors' journey to becoming famous starts with villains. Didn't Wu Yanzu become famous because of the big villain in "The New Police Story"!"
"…then I might as well act in an idol drama!"
Xu Hui was not very satisfied with Huang Wen’s statement, what is wrong with playing a villain? I have such a good image, why should I play a villain?
No, did Ma Chucheng really let me play a supporting role: "You have received the audition notice? I'll play a supporting role?"
"…That's right, didn't you say you could play supporting roles?"
Huang Wen was a little embarrassed. The two tailor-made movie projects that had been agreed to be replaced with supporting roles. I guess they wouldn't be happy if they were replaced by anyone.
Who said Xu Hui could play a supporting role, but it depends on whom to carry shoes? Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei, no problem, why is Gu Tianfeng?
Moreover, the project "Marriage and Martial Arts and Liang Zhu" can basically be declared over!
"…Forget it, I'd better not join in the fun. By the way, didn't you say that the casting of "The Wind" has begun? Leave me a role!"
"But "The Sound of Wind" won't start filming until September. What are you doing during this period?"
"You are my agent, please help me with the arrangement!"
"Wu Baige's "Red Cliff" is being filmed recently, otherwise I'll contact you to see if you can find a suitable role."
"Farewell, I don't like the director of Taiwan very much."
Xu Hui refused Huang Wen's proposal without thinking.
In his previous life, the reason why Xu Hui never became a director was because he is from mainland China and has always been able to serve as an assistant director!
Moreover, everyone in the circle knows that Wu Baige looks down on mainland actors typically.
In "Red Cliff" Zhao Wei was used by him to praise Lin Zhilin;
In "Flying Tiger", Liu Huohua can be used by him to praise Zhao Youting, Ruan Jingtian;
"Sword Rain" would rather find a Korean to be the starring actor than give mainland male actors a chance;
I want Xu Hui to hold his stinky feet, just dream!
"Then... I'll arrange for you to go to HK? There are many directors on HK, maybe you can perform..."
"Brother Wen, do you think it's possible? Brother Xiao Ming can only play supporting roles or big villains. Can I have the chance to play the leading role?"
Huang Xiaoming plays Chen Guanxi and Ren Xianqi in "The Sword Spy"; Hu Ge is accompanying Wu Zunzu in "The Sword Spy"; Wu Jing plays a villain in Hong Kong action movies, Fan Bingbing plays a vase in HK movies again and again, and carries Zhang Baizhi and twins in sedan chairs. He is obviously more beautiful than you than you, and his acting skills are better than you, but you are the protagonist, just because you are from Hong Kong and Taiwan!
It’s quite embarrassing. Except for Feng Xiaogang, the three major domestic directors did not use Hong Kong and Taiwan actors since last year’s "Assembly". Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai Ge think that Hong Kong and Taiwan actors are more fashionable than our mainland!
In those years, the national teacher films were all male actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan (except Li Lianjie), and it would be nice for mainland actors to play villains.
Although Liu Huohua has long been the best actor in Golden Horse, "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is also very popular in RB, "Blood Romance" and "What to Save Your Lover" are also the reputation productions of TV series, but our film directors look down on it and think that the mainland male actors are not very good! Chen Kaige's "The Promise" asks him to play a role of "Ghost Wolf" who betrays his own tribe, and Zhang Yimou's "The Golden Armor All Over the City" asks him to play a prince who has an affair with the queen. The role is cowardly and not likable!
Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet", Wu Yanzu plays the second male lead and Huang Xiaoming plays the third male lead. This "Night Banquet" is also a big gift from Feng Xiaogang to sign a contract with Huayi. It's really ironic!
Who is the male lead? Mr. Ge. Speaking of which, in Chinese commercial films in those years, the mainland actor who could play the male lead was Mr. Ge.
Can Xu Hui compete with Huang Xiaoming?
Can you compare with Liu Huohua?
He is an idol, a young and handsome guy, no matter in his past or present life, he has no experience in acting!
"...I mean, if we practice for a few more years, we will always stand out! Think about it, did Liu Dehua also trained in this way!"
"Haha, Brother Wen, if I am a HK person, I will do what you want, but I am not!"
Of course Huang Wen understood what Xu Hui meant.
This injustice has been around for a long time.
But no one can do this. They are more experienced than us, and the audience likes them - at least a circle of film and television masters in the mainland think that the audience likes them!
Xie Tingfeng's first movie debut was the male lead. Huang Xiaoming turned to the big screen, but he could only play the third male and second male!
If you say that you are better than Huang Xiaoming's acting skills, I can only repay you.
Huang Wen thought about it and suggested, "Why... let's take a TV series? This year, we have invested 19 TV series. I think the good ones include "My Leader My Group", "Snail House" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". We can try them all, just try them, just hone your acting skills!"
"Brother Wen, this is the script I wrote. Please help me see if it has investment value."
