Chapter 1033 1042, All Those Who Come to Audition Are Future Movie Stars!!

The handsome and gentle young man who came in was completely different from the gangster boss who looked arrogant in the future and said "who approves and who opposes". Tony Leung Ka Fai~

"Good director~"

Liang Sheng said hello very respectfully, and he was more confident than the previous gang leader Qiao. During this period, Liang Jiahui had already participated in two well-known movies. He also collaborated with the well-known star Liu Xiaoqing and won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actor.

It can be said that he is already a rising star in the film industry~

"Hello~"

Naoki Nagayama smiled and said hello. After all, his classic lines were included in "The Legend of Hayato" at the beginning of the year. Now that I see the younger version of myself, I feel unexpectedly familiar.

Moreover, Tony Leung Ka Fai was considered very handsome when he was young, otherwise he would not have been selected as the movie actor who played Emperor Xianfeng.

"Please introduce yourself~"

"Okay. I am the 10th graduate of the Infinite Artist Training Class. My name is Liang Jiahui."

"He once participated in "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "Behind the Curtain". He won the Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards."

Tony Leung Ka Fai talked freely in front of the judges without too much restraint. This is the calmness brought by confidence.

Nagayama Naoki also admires it very much, and this actor has strong plasticity. Thinking of "Ginza Tiger", from being shy in the early stage to being arrogant in the middle stage and then frustrated in the later stage, it is a very challenging role for acting skills.

The translator Wu Qiwen next to him also whispered to Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor during the break to explain the actors in front of them, which made them both appreciate it.

"Liang Sheng."

Nagayama Naoki waited for him to finish the introduction. He didn't want to give him the same impromptu performance as Huang Rihua before. He thought for a moment, capped the pen in his hand and handed it to him.

"Liang Sheng, sell me this pen!"

"???"

The future actor didn't react for a moment and took the pen handed to him in a daze.

This is just a ballpoint pen usually used by the company. It was put along with the information to facilitate Naoki Nagayama's recording today.

It costs 50 cents each at the convenience store in front of the company, unlimited!

Even Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor next to them were stunned after listening to Wu Qiwen's translation. What kind of test method is this!

So perverted, we love it! ! !

Looking at the neon director waiting quietly in front of him, Tony Leung felt the pressure of improvisation for the first time, and beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

However, he turned around and concealed his embarrassment well, then unbuttoned his coat and turned around with a warm smile, like an enthusiastic salesman:

"Sir, I found that there is a lot of information on your desk, but it seems that one important thing is missing!"

"Oh? What's missing?" Nagayama Naoki asked with interest.

"There is a pen missing!!!" Liang Jiahui said enthusiastically, and took out the pen and demonstrated it in front of Naoki Nagayama, "It is convenient and easy to use, and it writes smoothly. It can help you write down all the information you need! And the most important thing is It’s so cheap!”

“Opening discount today, only 10 cents!”

"Hahaha~"

Seeing the future actor selling sales like a small businessman, Nagayama Naoki laughed out loud,

"Okay, okay, I bought it!"

After taking over the pen, he turned to ask Komori Masataka: "Do you have any questions?!"

"Young people have never experienced losing everything. I want him to try how to express the feeling of loss when everything is finally lost!"

Komori Masataka was not polite and asked directly.

After Wu Qiwen translated, Liang Jiahui thought for a while and took out a cigarette from his pocket:

"You don't mind if I smoke?"

"It doesn't matter"

Then he combed his hair, took a chair and sat down, with his back bent and his hair messy, and then he smoked silently one after another.

There are no exaggerated movements, no affectionate eyes, and no lines. Just decadent smoking~

"Pa bang bang~"

After watching it for a while, Komori Masataka applauded and approved of his performance. However, Nagayama Naoki still followed the words:

"Thank you for coming to the audition today. If there is any progress, we will contact you."

After the future actor walked out, several people in the classroom began to discuss in whispers.

"My acting skills are okay~" "It's very adaptable." "It's just that he's not handsome enough and is far different from Naoki-san!" "Can it support the box office of the movie?"

Finally, consider this person as one of the candidates and proceed with the audition.

But at this time, Kijima Kyū asked Nagayama Naoki:

"Naoki-san, the impromptu performance just now"

This plot is a small plot in "The Wolf of Wall Street" where the male protagonist selects his assistants. It is to show that he knows the way of marketing. However, there is no such plot in "Ginza Tiger" because Naoki Nagayama previously communicated the script. I forgot to mention it.

"It's just an idea," Naoki Nagayama said with a smile. "I think it might be added to the script of "Tiger of Ginza" to show that the protagonist knows how to run a business."

"Then how should I sell you this pen?" Kijima Xu continued to ask.

Nagayama Naoki glanced at him:

"Kijima-kun, give me the pen."

"Hi~please use it!"

Kijima Kyor presented his pen, and then looked at Nagayama Naoki expectantly.

"Kijima-kun, please sign the document!"

Kijima Xu looked at the empty table with some confusion:

"Eh? But I don't have a pen anymore. I just gave it to Naoki-san."

Naoki Nagayama laughed:

"Then I can sell you the pen now! It only costs one dollar!"

"." Kijima Xu was speechless. Isn't this just kidding himself?

"Haha, this is called creating demand!!!" Nagayama Naoki laughed, "Kishima-kun, this is the secret of business operation, a secret that is not taught! Once you learn it, you can become a millionaire! I will teach you it for free. !”

"."

Hahaha, do you believe me? !

The next person is still an acquaintance, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, who will be known as the Thousand-faced Best Actor in the future. Haha, it seems that everyone who came to the audition today is the best actor!

However, although Tony Leung of this era is very handsome, his slightly downward eyes always reveal a kind of melancholy, as if there are thousands of thoughts in his kind eyes.

"Hello, director~" Tony Leung also greeted politely.

"Hello~"

It has been spread outside that Naoki Nagayama can speak Cantonese, and Tony Leung is not surprised.

"As usual, first introduce yourself!"

"Okay. I am the 11th graduate of the Infinite Artist Training Class"

In this era, Tony Leung is not very famous. Currently, the only leading role is Wei Xiaobao in a TV series. When facing the great Neon director, he was generally a little nervous.

Naoki Nagayama waited for him to finish speaking, then raised the ballpoint pen in his hand again and handed it to him:

"Sell me this pen!"

"."

When most people face this problem for the first time, they will be confused and at a loss, and Liang Chaowei is no exception.

However, as an actor, he quickly adjusted and started asking in a friendly tone:

"Sir, would you like to take a look at our latest writing pen? Although it only has a small pen, it can write tens of thousands of words without having to replace it! It writes smoothly and comfortably. The most important thing is that it is very cheap."

The young Tony Leung's acting mainly relies on a sincere look in his eyes, which makes people feel the sincerity in it. Sure enough, it is God's blessing!

But in general, the acting is not polished well, the philistineness of the small businessman is not shown, and the sales persuasiveness is not strong.

Naoki Nagayama is not a director like Wong Kar-Wai who can make films with the characteristics of actors. This time he will make a commercial film instead of an artistic film.

"Okay, thank you for coming to the audition today. If there is any progress, we will contact you!"

"Thank you, director."

Finally he was sent away~

The unlimited artist training class in the early 1980s produced countless stars in Hong Kong in the future. Naoki Nagayama met the gentle Wu Qihua, and even Miao Qiaowei and Xu Jinjiang here.

Liu Fanggang almost called over all the handsome and younger actors, and asked Naoki Nagayama and his team to interview more than a dozen of them in one morning!

By noon, it was almost over.

"Yongshan Sang, please take a rest first." Liu Fang just came over and said, "Our sister Fang has booked a banquet at the Mayflower Restaurant to welcome Yongshan Sang."

This is what Fang Tai said before, catching the wind and washing away the dust!

Nagayama Naoki didn't mean to refuse. Guests followed the host and got into the prepared car with Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor.

In the box of Mayflower Restaurant, Naoki Nagayama once again saw Fang Yihua and a very old gentleman.

"Director Nagayama." Fang Tai stood up and introduced as an intermediary, "This is my husband, Mr. Run Run Shaw of Shaw Brothers Pictures!"

"I have admired you for a long time!" Nagayama Naoki shook hands and said, "I have heard about Mr. Shao's fame in Neon."

Run Run Shaw is 79 years old and is not in good health, but he still speaks very clearly:

"Director Yongshan's reputation is astonishing. It is rare for an Asian director to win an international award such as the Palme d'Or!"

"No, no, that's too much praise~"

After the two greeted each other, they sat down and chatted about the results of today's audition.

"There are many young talents in Hong Kong, and they are all excellent," Naoki Nagayama said. "But judging from the performance in the morning, there are only one or two who fit the role of the new movie "Tiger of Ginza."

Run Run Shaw smiled:

"Haha, don't jump to conclusions so early. We at Shaw Brothers also have many artists who haven't had time to come over yet!"

Fang Tai answered from the side:

"We still have some connections in Hong Kong, and there are many young and potential artists in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Director Yongshan can take a look."

"Thank you both very much!"

Nagayama Naoki raised his glass and toasted the two Shaw brothers.

Both of them are very enthusiastic, not only because of the request from the director of Fuji TV, but also because Naoki Nagayama is a famous director. He is also the head of the Shuyou Group and is now a shareholder of Fuji TV. It can be said that Hong's influence in the entertainment industry is already great.

Hong Kong is just a city. Compared with the neon entertainment industry, Hong Kong’s entertainment industry is not on the same level. In addition, the entertainment industry in mainland China is about the same.

If Shaw Brothers can get on well with Neon’s tree friends and reach a cooperation in the future, it will be of great benefit to both parties.

After all, Mr. Shao was already over seventy years old. After drinking a glass of wine and talking for a while, he began to show fatigue, so he stood up and said goodbye:

"Mr. Yongshan, I am not in good spirits, so I will be rude first."

"It's an honor for me to have Mr. Shao come!"

Naturally, Nagayama Naoki would not be rude. For such an old man to welcome him and even toast him, it was already a great honor.

After watching Mr. Shao instruct Fang Yihua to entertain Nagayama Naoki well and then leave, the atmosphere in the box began to become active again.

After drinking, eating and chatting, TVB and the reception staff toasted again and again, making Komori Masataka and Kijima Kyor's faces quickly turn red.

But Nagayama Naoki is just a little tipsy~

"Director Yongshan, have you been to Hong Kong before?"

After three drinks and five dishes, Youta began to chat with Naoki Nagayama about more everyday things.

"No, this is my first time here, but I got to know some Hong Kong artists."

"Haha, no wonder I was photographed by the paparazzi yesterday~"

Fang Yihua naturally knew that Naoki Nagayama and Jackie Chan were photographed together.

"I wanted to go shopping yesterday and happened to bump into Jackie." Naoki Nagayama shrugged. "It's very common to be photographed by the paparazzi."

"Yes. Director Yongshan married a famous Japanese doll after all."

"Hahaha~"

Although Nakamori Akina's reputation in the mainland is not as great as Yamaguchi Momoe's, the song has spread to Hong Kong. Xu Guanjie's single "Japanese Doll" has been released, and Akina's title of "Japanese Doll" has also been sung in Hong Kong.

However, there is no ambiguity in Japanese dolls in this era. In later generations,

Naoki Nagayama shook his head:

"If Akina knew that she was so famous in Hong Kong, she would definitely be surprised~"

"I heard you're pregnant?"

"Yeah, I'm going to be born in a few months!"

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you, thank you~"

"."

This meal lasted until two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and the two young servants were drunk.

Nagayama Naoki made an appointment with Youta. Today he has met the members of the unlimited artist training class. Tomorrow he will introduce some famous artists or potential artists in the Hong Kong entertainment industry to meet, not limited to male or female artists.

Let’s not talk about whether it is suitable for the role this time. After getting familiar with it this time, if there is a chance, we can cooperate in the future!

Under the escort of the driver, Naoki Nagayama and the other three returned to the Peninsula Hotel to rest. In the evening, they had other plans planned!

After returning to his room, Naoki Nagayama felt a little confused, but decided to call Akina in Tokyo before going to bed.

I made a call at a public phone booth at the airport after getting off the plane yesterday, but I haven’t called today yet!

"Moses Moses." Nonaka Mori's voice came from the microphone, "This is Yamazakura-in."

"Mrs. Nonaka, it's me."

Nagayama Naoki said directly,

"Are Akina awake from her nap?"

Nowadays, Akina's body is getting heavier and she is easily tired mentally. She has to go back to sleep in the morning, go to bed at noon, and still sleep at night. It's like sleeping in an arhat.

"Hey, she's awake. I'll call her right away."

Nonaka Mori wisely went to call the hostess.

After waiting for a while, I heard a familiar voice coming from the microphone:

"Naoki-san?"

"Akina." A smile appeared on Naoki Nagayama's lips unconsciously, "Did you miss me the day after I was gone?!"

"No!" Akina said arrogantly, "I don't know how comfortable it is to sleep on a big bed alone!"

"Ha~ You're so tough!"

Nagayama Naoki shook his head, obviously sleeping with his arms in his arms every night!

"Hmph~"

After a little bickering, Naoki Nagayama talked about today's experience. He had already auditioned many candidates, and there were still a few days to meet with different people, etc.

"We just had dinner, and there may be a drinking party tonight, so I'll give Akina a call now."

"Hey~~~ Is there a drinking party tonight~"

Akina caught the key word.

"This is how business entertainment is~" Nagayama Naoki comforted, "I have three days left in Hong Kong and will be back soon!"

Akina actually knew that with her husband's status, he would have a lot of social activities after going out, so he just acted coquettishly:

"Naoki-san, please take care of your health and don't drink too much."

"More importantly, don't be taken advantage of by women who appear out of nowhere!"

"."

Nagayama Naoki was speechless but continued:

"Akina is also very famous in Hong Kong! There is a song called Japanese Doll, and your name is specifically mentioned in it."

"Oh? Really?"

Akina is not very familiar with Hong Kong, but she is very happy to hear that she is famous there~

"I'll bring you an album when I go back!"

"Naoki-san is the best!"

"."

The phone call continued for another half an hour without realizing it. When the drunkenness got the better of him, Naoki Nagayama hung up the phone and fell asleep on the hotel bed.
