Chapter 181 Money or No Money Doesn’t Matter

Even Hu Jun praised Wu Zhenyu's acting skills.

He and Hao Yun are the only two actors from the mainland in the crew. They don't say they are together, but at least they communicate more.

What's more, the two of them also starred in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" together.

The TV series "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" has begun large-scale promotion in the mainland and is scheduled to be broadcast in December this year.

It is no secret that Hao Yun plays Yun Zhonghe.

Compared with Hu Jun's role as the male lead, Hao Yun is really low-level, and many netizens joked that he played a good hand badly.

They don't know that when Hao Yun just started, even small roles like Yin Zhiping and Yun Zhonghe had to go through a lot of hardships to get them.

For example, the audition for Yin Zhiping.

Hao Yun's acting skills were too poor at the time. He took 30 shots of Jiang Qinqin's acting skills, but he couldn't give people a dazzling feeling.

Fortunately, he used Jiang Qinqin's attributes and acted like Jiang Qinqin.

She helped to say something on the side, which gave Hao Yun the opportunity to show his martial arts skills. After the two performances, he played Yin Zhiping, and that was only Yin Zhiping in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Yin Zhiping in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has a more important role.

However, maybe he should be called Zhen Zhibing now.

In the revised version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", Mr. Jin transferred the above role to the new character "Zhen Zhibing", and Yin Zhiping was rewritten as a minor character who devoted himself to the inner alchemy and qi refining.

Whether it is Yin Zhiping or Zhen Zhibing, Hao Yun will never play again.

Now there are many domestic entertainment companies looking for him to shoot TV series.

It is no longer like when he just debuted, not only not qualified to choose roles, but also have to go through cruel auditions.

However, most of these TV series are male supporting roles.

Even Hu Jun introduced male supporting roles to Hao Yun, which made Hao Yun quite helpless.

He is in urgent need of a starring role now.

Even if it is not enough to be a big hit after being on the stage, at least it proves that he can handle it.

Of course, he doesn't have to be the lead actor to take the role. If there is a good project, he should take it even if it is a supporting role.

For a newcomer like him with no background, maintaining his popularity is the most important thing.

Leading roles are hard to come by.

However, it was unexpected that Fang Long also asked him to play a supporting role.

This is Fang Long.

Being able to work with him is what many actors dream of.

"What kind of play does Fang Long want me to play?" Fang Long was very direct when they met. He wanted to ask Hao Yun to play a role.

Hao Yun suspected that if he didn't agree, he might not let him order this dish today.

People only talk about business after three rounds of drinks.

How can they start right after sitting down.

However, Fang Long really didn't mean to do that. While answering Hao Yun, he quickly ordered a few dishes and handed the menu to Hao Yun to let him continue ordering.

It turned out that Fang Long had recently taken on a movie.

The script of this movie was completed last year. Zhang Guorong was originally the male lead, but Zhang Guorong passed away after jumping off a bridge at the Mandarin Hotel more than two months ago.

The investors have already invested a lot of money in the preliminary preparations, and it is impossible to give up, so they can only find someone else.

Since the great success of "Rumble in the Bronx" in 1995, Van Loon's popularity in Hollywood has been unprecedentedly high, and he began his Hollywood journey.

He filmed six movies in a row in four years, and the first four maintained a consistent level, but who would have thought that he would suffer a major setback in the later "Flying Dragon" and "Around the World in 80 Days". Not only did the box office suffer a dismal performance and the reputation plummeted, but he was also questioned by Hollywood.

Influenced by this, Van Loon had the idea of ​​returning to Hong Kong for development.

He and this movie were both seeking transformation and lacking a male lead, and finally the two sides hit it off.

Since the script was written based on Zhang Guorong, it was now replaced by Van Loon, and the first thing to do was to modify the script, delete a lot of emotional scenes, and add some commercial elements.

More importantly, the name of the movie was changed to "New Police Story" - at least it can take advantage of the popularity of the first four "Police Story" movies.

In terms of the cast, in addition to Fang Long, Xie Tingfeng, who announced his temporary retirement from the music scene, was also found.

After the case of taking the blame, he needs to re-establish his image.

Then there is still a very important villain role missing.

For this role, director Chen Musheng initially preferred Wu Yanzu, with whom he had worked in "Special Police New Humans".

But Wu Yanzu directly refused.

He is developing very well now, and he can take the leading role at will, but he is not considering the villain role for the time being, even if he works with Fang Long.

There are many villains in Fang Long's movies, but they don't add much to the actors.

In other words, they are all designed to set off Fang Long.

First, Fang Long is beaten into a dog, and then Fang Long fights back. Every routine is exactly the same.

It's really boring after watching too much.

Chen Musheng consulted with Fang Long, who recommended Hao Yun, who played the villain in "The Legend of Chusen" and became more popular in Hong Kong than Chen Guanxi and Twins with this role.

Boss Yang spent a lot of money on "The Legend of Chusen" to promote Chen Guanxi and Twins, and even invited Fang Long, Mo Wenwei, Zheng Yijian, He Chaoyi and others to play supporting roles.

Unexpectedly, Hao Yun would get the biggest bonus.

The vampire Count he played looked cool, and his martial arts moves were awesome.

He was so good-looking, so what if he was a little bad.

This role earned him a lot of fans in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

He just didn't know it.

The fans' support he saw at the concert was the bonus this role brought him.

"Villain..." Hao Yun didn't want to play it.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the confidence of Wu Yanzu, who could easily get the leading role, and he worked with Li Ming, Su Qi, Wang Zuxian, Gu Tianle, Wu Zhenyu, Li Jiaxin and others.

As for Fang Long...

Wu Yanzu had worked with him before in "Glass Bottle", so he was no longer rare.

"In fact, the role itself is quite attractive. Take a look at the role introduction." Fang Long took out the information and handed it to Hao Yun.

Hao Yun had no choice but to take it and open it.

Sure enough, every villain seems to have a miserable childhood.

Our villain grew up in a family with a strict father and a kind mother. His father advocated frustration education, and his mother only comforted him with money.

But what he wanted was affirmation and companionship, not six hundred yuan.

Over time, his mind has long been twisted.

He hated the police.

Killing the police is equivalent to "patricide" to a certain extent.

The villain declared his rebellion in this extreme way.

With the mask on, he is a ruthless bandit.

Without the mask, he is just a big boy who is inferior and longs to be loved.

"How about it? The budget of this movie is very high. I only get 8 million yuan for the film. If you come to play, I can give you 500,000 Hong Kong dollars." Fang Long called Lin Chaoxian and learned that Hao Yun's salary for starring in "The Thousand Machines" was only 100,000 yuan.

Fool, Hao Yun is too cheap.

Chen Guanxi's current movies are almost all over 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

Hao Yun is only one-tenth of his.

If you invite Wu Yanzu, it will be at least 1 or 2 million.

You give Hao Yun 500,000...

"Okay, I'll take this one. Thank you, brother Fang Long, for your support. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. I mainly like this role too much. This role is too profound. I think there is a lot of room for development..."

When Hao Yun heard that he would be paid 500,000, he didn't hesitate at all.

Generally speaking, the pay for cooperating with big names is not high.

For example, if he works with Fang Long, his current salary is 20 million US dollars. In the current Hong Kong market, if he is really hired with this money, there is no way there will be any money left for other actors.

In "Infernal Affairs 1", there were Liu Furong and Liang Chaowei, and Hao Yun only got 12,000 Hong Kong dollars.

In "Infernal Affairs 2", these two big payrolls were gone, and Hao Yun immediately got 200,000.

Now working with Fang Long, there is actually a salary of 500,000 to be taken. There is no need to hesitate. Even if he is asked to play the leading role in a TV series, he will not change.

"Happy cooperation!" Fang Long shook hands with Hao Yun.

The reason why he got such a small salary for this movie is because he invested in it.

This is also the reason why he is so concerned.
