Chapter 588 Director's Request (Asking for Monthly Pass)
No matter big or small, Hong Kong media likes to use particularly shocking headlines.
This time is no exception.
For example, this "The Condor Heroes and their lovers are in a happy place, Guanxi turns into a lunatic".
There is also "The Fairy Girl is in Hong Kong, Brother E is in a crazy place, love and hate are in a moment".
"Yunzi is monogamous, and they go to have a secret love affair together!"
Each one is more outrageous than the other.
These Hong Kong media headlines are not only eye-catching, but also eye-catching.
I have to admire their imagination and ruthlessness. When they drive fast, they don't even know where the steering wheel is!
Hao Yun flipped through it while eating breakfast and almost spit out his food.
Flipping over the headlines to read the content, there is actually nothing particularly explosive. It just said that Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi appeared in Hong Kong recently.
An Xiaoxi was also found by passers-by filming in Du Qifeng's crew a few days ago.
Hao Yun's purpose of coming to Hong Kong is unknown. The two appeared on a nightclub street with Chen Guanxi and finally entered a store.
After entering, An and Hao behaved intimately. Chen Guanxi danced passionately, but Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi did not leave their seats and enter the dance floor.
The group played until half past eleven and left.
What was more suspicious was that Chen Guanxi left alone, while Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi were lost by paparazzi in the same car.
What happened after that can only rely on everyone's imagination.
In the following days, the media often saw Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi in Hong Kong, and the purpose of Hao Yun's visit to Hong Kong was also found out.
After obtaining Hao Yun's consent, Shi Nansheng said in an interview with the media that Hao Yun was discussing the script with Xu Ke, and the two generations of directors, one old and one young, might cooperate on a new movie in the next two years.
Whether it is Xu Ke's new movie or Hao Yun's new movie, as long as there is a shooting plan, it will definitely be the specifications of the front page headlines. Now that the news of the cooperation between the two has been released, many topics have been extended immediately.
What kind of sparks can these two people create.
Who will be the boss on the set, and will Hao Yun become Xu Ke's puppet?
If Hao Yun wrote the script and Xu Ke was in charge of filming, whose style would be reflected?
As for who will star in the new movie, it is too early to talk about it now. But An Xiaoxi will definitely be in the movie led by Hao Yun.
The script of "Painted Skin" has been slowly finalized, and it has even entered the stage of drawing storyboards.
Hao Yun also discussed the role with An Xiaoxi.
One is that she will be suppressed by Zhou Xun's acting skills - not to the point of being crushed, it is not a question of whether Zhou Xun has the ability, but a question of whether she can do it.
Zhou Xun is not a fool. She can get to this point today, break up peacefully with a thorn like Li Shaohong, and no one has torn her apart after so many relationships, which is enough to explain the problem.
But there will definitely be a comparison of advantages and disadvantages.
In the same shot, it will become an indisputable fact that An Xiaoxi's acting skills are not as good as Zhou Xun.
An Xiaoxi has no opinion on this.
Kazuo Inamori said that if you associate with excellent people, you will also become excellent.
It is unknown whether this chicken soup is said by Kazuo Inamori, but in terms of performance, working with excellent directors and actors does help improve acting skills.
The so-called acting competition, the most basic premise is equal strength.
The second is the question of which role An Xiaoxi plays. Xiaowei is the real heroine and the most profound character in the whole film.
If An Xiaoxi goes all out, then she will naturally challenge the best.
If An Xiaoxi wants to be safe, she will play the role of Peirong.
Peirong is not without depth, and this role also requires high acting skills.
Her experience is the most bumpy one.
In Xu Ke's words, Peirong is a wise and loyal woman.
But the highlight is not as good as Xiaowei, just like the white snake and the green snake in "Green Snake", it is obvious that the green snake is more tempting.
"I want to play Peirong..."
An Xiaoxi made a choice without much hesitation. She felt that this role could be very colorful if played well.
Well, she doesn't want to be a mistress.
Hao Yun told him this story, and what she disliked most was not Xiaowei.
That's a demon.
As a demon, what she should do is to eat. It is in line with her position to wipe out the entire Wang family.
But she fell in love with a man, so she is just a fool.
On the contrary, it is Wang Sheng.
As a married man, he is always immune to beautiful women, which is understandable.
But he obviously has a wife, but he still misses Xiao Wei in his heart, and even keeps Xiao Wei in his house for support. Wang Sheng's ending is his own fault.
"Who is better-looking, me or Zhou Xun?" An Xiaoxi suddenly asked such a question when discussing roles with Hao Yun.
"Of course it's you!" Hao Yun didn't hesitate.
"If I were Mrs. Wang, would Wang Sheng fall in love with Xiao Wei?" An Xiaoxi was a little puzzled.
"Wang Sheng would." Hao Yun nodded confidently.
"Why?" An Xiaoxi didn't mean to look down on Zhou Xun. She and Zhou Xun were sisters, and she also felt that Zhou Xun had a unique charm. Now it was just a matter of fact.
"Because the director asked him to..." What could Hao Yun say.
There is a very deep knowledge in this, that is, some men already have a very beautiful wife, but they still cheat.
Even the cheating object is much worse than the wife, and is completely not in the same league.
If you want to talk about true love, he has never thought of changing his wife.
Or he can continue to cheat after changing his wife.
This knowledge is not so positive, so Hao Yun does not want to discuss this with An Xiaoxi.
What the director asked for was a master key.
Many unreasonable plots in film and television dramas are used, and they are used unscrupulously, and some are simply insulting the audience's IQ.
Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi were also photographed entering a cinema together in Hong Kong.
They watched Wu Yanzu's new film "Four Heavenly Kings".
Two years ago, Wu Yanzu, Chen Guanxi, Xie Tingfeng, and Hao Yun were often compared together, and some people even called them the Four Little Heavenly Kings.
The Four Heavenly Kings are recognized, and there have been many versions of the Four Little Heavenly Kings.
And this version of the Four Little Heavenly Kings is indeed quite convincing.
The only discord is that Hao Yun is a mainlander.
It's just that he participated in many Hong Kong films such as "Infernal Affairs 1", "Infernal Affairs 2", "The Thousand Machines", "PTU", and "New Police Story", and was completely accepted by the Hong Kong circle before he was included.
But later, the development of the four people was different.
Although Chen Guanxi developed into a playboy, he was also quite serious about releasing albums and acting in movies.
Xie Tingfeng lost his princess, but found a blank sheet of paper, and even participated in the international director Chen Kaige's "The Promise", which cannot be said to be nothing.
Hao Yun took the lead in embarking on the director's route, and his sideline business became more and more popular, even surpassing his main business.
It is not appropriate to compare Hao Yun with the other three, so Yu Wenle was substituted.
Wu Yanzu obviously also has the ambition to improve himself.
In 2003, he was nominated for the Best Actor in the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards for the action film "Mong Kok Midnight", and he joined the ranks of quasi-film emperors before Hao Yun.
In the same year, he served as a film producer for the first time and starred in the thriller "The Night of Demons".
This time, he wrote, directed and starred in the new movie "Four Heavenly Kings", which is a big step forward.
Wu Yanzu's next play is "The Disciple", and Hao Yun will play opposite him.
Now his new movie is released, Hao Yun happens to be in Hong Kong, so he chose to go to the cinema to support it.
However, this movie is being criticized by the Hong Kong media.
Because Wu Yanzu's film is not about the four kings of "Liu Zhang Li Guo".
He found three good friends, Yin Zixiong, Chen Zicong, and Lian Kai, and they really formed a band together, Alive.
It took two years from the obstacles and helplessness encountered in the formation of the band at the beginning of the career, to the difficulties of finding an agent and finding a record company and encountering unfair terms, to the acceptance of GG after the start of the improvement.
It almost makes you think that this is an inspirational film.
The Hong Kong media also think so. As a result, Wu Yanzu announced after the filming of the film that Alive was a group that existed only for the filming of this documentary, and then disbanded the Alive group.
It was not until this time that the media finally realized that they were being played.
Therefore, this movie was collectively banned by the Hong Kong media.
The fate of the box office can be imagined.
If it were Hao Yun's operation, he could completely keep the Alive band, and every two or three years when the fans grew vigorously, he would release an album to harvest a wave.
But in that case, the intention of the movie would not stand.
Wu Yanzu wanted the audience to see a microcosm of the entire entertainment industry through the small band Alive.
A fictional band, with a flashy appearance but a weak heart, three of the four members can't play instruments and can't sing, but they have won countless fans. It is undoubtedly a sharp satire on the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry.
The film also invited Zhang Xueyou, Xie Tingfeng, Yang Qianhua, Mo Wenwei and other big names to talk about their own experiences in the form of interviews, comparing the rules of the game in the music industry, etc.
The God of Songs even said frankly: The company's packaging of singers is becoming more and more wishful thinking. Technical packaging has harmed the entire record industry, allowing many singers with poor qualifications and no effort to fish in troubled waters.
"Does it sound like us?" Hao Yun smiled.
Both of them have average qualifications, and they are not very focused and just treat the music industry as a copy.
"We are very serious, and there is no packaging." An Xiaoxi was puzzled.
"Why is there no packaging? "Those Years" is a way of packaging." We just wrote a book and then made a movie in order to release an album.
As a result, the movie sold more than the album.
An Xiaoxi thought about it and found that it seemed to be true.
Let’s not talk about the quality of the music albums. Many people buy their albums because of the movies.
“Will we be photographed like this?” An Xiaoxi asked quietly. The news reported that they were whispering to each other.
I don’t know if there are paparazzi with cameras in this theater.
Although there are paparazzi, it doesn’t stop them from going out to play.
When filming the scenes related to Liang Jiahui in "Tracking", An Xiaoxi had time to go out to play.
Shopping, gun clubs, watching racing and horse racing, there are too many things to play.
It was not until the filming of "Disciples" started that Hao Yun ended his days of drinking and partying in Hong Kong.
