Chapter 576: The Test of Classic Lines

In the afternoon, the audition for [Infernal Affairs] began, and Edison Chen was the first to rush over. Although he also has a background in Hong Kong City, ordinary directors would not embarrass him, but Ye Ming has already made it known that even if someone recommends him, if he cannot pass the audition, he may not be used. .

This is why Edison Chen was obviously expected to become an actor in "Infernal Affairs", but he did not attend the first press conference of "Infernal Affairs".

At this time, Edison Chen said with some dissatisfaction in the car: "Dad, is this guy Ye Ming a little too courageous? I know that he has some energy in the mainland and is quite famous, but you must know that this is a Hong Kong city Ah, he dares to be so presumptuous in Hong Kong City, and you don’t even give him any face. Isn’t this too arrogant?”

Because of Chen's father, Xiang Huaqiang also recommended Edison Chen, so he had the opportunity to audition this time. But according to Edison Chen's thinking, as long as Xiang Huaqiang himself spoke, then at this time, the matter would be easy to grasp. But Ye Ming didn't give him any face to let him come to the audition. This was simply a shame and humiliation.

Father Chen said nonchalantly: "Do you think Ye Ming is as simple as you think? If he was simply a star, he would have been dealt with long ago. It's not like you don't understand the things in Hong Kong City, no. As for the backstage, it is difficult to move forward in Hong Kong City.

But you have ignored Ye Ming's backstage, a Berlin actor, which makes young people like you contemporaries breathless.

Looking at Ye Ming now, he is ranked alongside a superstar like Andy Lau. No one would think it was inappropriate for him to play opposite Andy Lau, because he has become a trend and is unstoppable. With this The people of the Son belong to an era, and they are both your luck and your sorrow.

Just because of this leading actor, the people in the General Administration will definitely protect Ye Ming. Moreover, Ye Ming's brilliant film and television has the shadow of the Quantum Fund behind it. He is also inextricably connected with Warner, even if it is just for Ha Lippert, even if the people at Warner don't like Ye Ming, they will definitely be on Ye Ming's side.

Also, Fang Yihua's niece Fang Fang is his agent. Sima Zhaozhi knows what the wireless station is planning.

Ming Pao, Cheng Long, etc. all have a very good relationship with Ye Ming. Therefore, at this moment, it is simply said that no one can compare to Ye Ming.

At this time, he is qualified enough to do this. You just give me an honest audition. Because of my face, although I may not take care of you, I will definitely not embarrass you. Just use yourself well. "

[Infernal Affairs] Father Chen wanted to read this script, but in the end he never had the chance to read it. According to Xiang Huaqiang, it was a very good script, and he himself wanted to play a role in it. Hong Kong City Movie This is a rescue measure for the market. Father Chen has to take this seriously. Therefore, Ye Ming despised his son so much, and Chen's father did not express any dissatisfaction at all.

Even now, Chen's father is watching his son leave. What kind of surprises will this crew, this crew that claims to be a rescue work for the Hong Kong Film Market, bring to him.

During the audition, Xiang Huaqiang and Hua Tsai were both present, and together with Ye Ming, they were the examiners this time.

Xiang Huaqiang made it clear that he was just saying to take a look and would not interfere with the director's judgment. Therefore, he sat next to him to show his respect for the director.

Edison Chen was stunned when he saw this scene. He did not expect that Xiang Huaqiang was also at the scene, so he first greeted Xiang Huaqiang and said, "Hello, Uncle Xiang."

Xiang Huaqiang said with a smile: "Boy, when did you learn to be so polite?

Don't talk nonsense, Ye Ming is the examiner this time, and you must satisfy him before you can join the crew, otherwise Uncle Xiang won't be able to help you."

Only then did Edison Chen realize that he had made a mistake and did not say hello to the director and the lead actor. Therefore, he immediately said very respectfully: "Hello, Director Ye, Andy. I feel very honored to be able to audition for the Infernal Affairs crew. I hope the director can give me this opportunity."

Let’s not talk about the investment this time, but the key point is Xiang Huaqiang’s attitude. With Xiang Huaqiang’s participation, it almost means that Infernal Affairs is half successful in Hong Kong City.

Movies in Hong Kong are basically related to the underworld. If you don't have a good relationship with the underworld, basically speaking, you can't make a good movie with peace of mind. This is different from the mainland film market.

Many movies in Hong Kong contain underworld funds, and the purpose is naturally to launder money. Even when Andy was at his hottest, he was filmed by the underworld with money in one hand and a gun pointed at his head.

Therefore, in Hong Kong City, if the underworld is not dealt with, it is basically impossible to make a movie. In the entire Hong Kong city, there are only two actors who have the courage to make movies without dealing with the underworld.

One is Brother Cheng Long. Brother Cheng Long himself is a Dragon Tiger martial artist. He has a group of brothers who dare to fight and charge. The other qualified person is Ren Dahua. Ren Dahua's brother is a high-ranking police officer, so no one in the world dares to fight against him. To give Ren Dahua face.

With the support of the big boss Xiang Huaqiang, who dares not to cause trouble? Therefore, it can be said that Infernal Affairs is half successful.

Ye Ming said without politeness at all: "Opportunities are equal for everyone. Now you have to seize this opportunity. I will give you a sentence. Those who come out to fool around will always have to pay back. This sentence You should be familiar with it, right?"

At this time, Edison Chen said with some embarrassment: "Director Ye, I'm really sorry. I really don't know this sentence. It's the first time I heard about it." Ye Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "You actually said you don't know. This sentence, you still..."

How many young people in Hong Kong City don't know "A Better Tomorrow"? This movie is about the encounter between the down-and-out director Wu Yusen and the box-office poisonous actor Chow Yun-fat at the lowest ebb, and it's a tragic story that breaks out. It is said to be a classic of Hong Kong gangster movies. Even the supporting characters Ti Lung and his brother Zhang Guorong all have wonderful performances. When they come out to mess around, they always have to pay back. This is a classic line about the true nature of a hero. Ti Lung's line "I won't be a big brother for many years" in this movie was even translated into Xiao Hei's song "Big Brother" later.

Edison Chen actually said that he didn't know this line. In fact, there was nothing he could do about it. If he insisted that he knew it, but he had never seen the movie, he would not understand the potential meaning of the line. Don't even think about expressing this sentence well.

Therefore, he had to tell the truth. Seeing that Ye Ming was a little doubtful, Xiang Huaqiang immediately explained with a smile: "Ye Ming, actually it's not Xiao Chen's fault for this. He grew up abroad and didn't come back for long. Most of what he saw was If you ask him about foreign movies, Schwarzenegger's I'll Be Back, he will know this. There are also classic movies such as Titanic. He will definitely know that they are from Hong Kong City. As for the movie, it’s not surprising that he doesn’t know about it.”

Ye Ming reluctantly accepted this explanation, nodded and said, "In that case, forget it. Please tell me the classic line that Forrest Gump said in [Forrest Gump], life is like A box of assorted chocolates, let’s talk about it.”

This line is also a classic among classics in the history of movies. It is a popular line. Why does Ye Ming always use this classic line? One is that many people know it. Almost everyone who comes to audition should know it. Of course People like Edison Chen who grew up abroad but have never seen the true colors of heroes are an exception.

A true classic can best test a person's acting skills.

You can truly see through a person's performance level and talent.

Edison Chen immediately got into the mood and said: "Life is like a box of assorted chocolates, you never know what the next one will taste..."

At this time, Edison Chen's expression was very calm, but in Ye Ming's eyes, Edison Chen's eyes were a little hollow.

Although Andy saw this shortcoming, he didn't say anything. Andy knew that Edison Chen recommended Hua Qiang, and it would be bad if he refused. So, just pretend you didn't see it.

At this time, Ye Ming waited until Edison Chen finished speaking, thought about it, and then frowned and said: "The performance was a bit boring. At this time, Forrest Gump should have the kind of weathered eyes, which can be said to have a taste of seeing through the world of mortals. It’s not that his eyes are dull and he is looking at the sky stupidly like an idiot. Forrest Gump is a bit imbecile, but he is not short-sighted. Remember? Go back and feel your inner expression and your expression to be perfectly unified. Otherwise, the filming process will be delayed.”

Although Ye Ming was not very satisfied with Edison Chen, in such a situation, he also knew that Xiang Huaqiang had spoken, and if he said it without giving face, it would always be bad. Although Ye Ming was arrogant, But it's not to say that he is arrogant to the point of being arrogant. What's more, Edison Chen was also an actor in Infernal Affairs in his previous life, so he should have no problem controlling his original role.

Therefore, although he was not very optimistic about Edison Chen, Ye Ming still gave him a chance. I believe that with this opportunity to hone his acting skills, Photographer Chen's acting skills will undergo a huge change.

Hearing Ye Ming's words, Xiang Huaqiang also showed an expression of satisfaction on his face. He knew very well how good Chen Guanxi's acting was. Ye Ming was indeed very proud. (To be continued)
