Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1418 Add this name to it
"Please perform a martial art or a boxing set."

The audition for "The Green Hornet" has been in full swing, and a large number of people who come to the audition are eliminated every day.

But for Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, this kind of audition was simply too simple.

Ordinary people don't know much about the location and movement of movies, but they are different. They have all made many movies.

Even most of those films were directed by Sammo Hung, so they knew exactly what the director wanted to see.

He hit a set of punches casually, and then made a few difficult moves.

During the whole process, Saenz watched without blinking. He seemed very satisfied with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao's skills.

If he hadn't met Lin Zhengying and Fu Sheng before, maybe Saenz would be even more excited.

However, because Saenz had already witnessed those outstanding action stars performing in front of him, even if Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao came to perform, Saenz did not show much excitement or excitement.

After they finished their actions, Saenz took the lead in applauding.

It has to be said that Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, the two top martial arts stars in Hong Kong, are of a far higher standard than the other people who came to audition.

In Saenz's impression, apart from the person named Jet Li recommended by Golden Harvest, these two performed best.

"The two demonstrations just now were very exciting. You are all excellent. Jess is right. You are indeed the top martial arts stars in Hong Kong."

After hearing this, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao just smiled lightly, and it seemed that they were not very happy either.

After all, this is just a retest. Even if they pass, there is still a next level, so now is not the time for them to be happy.

"I have to say that the level of the two is already very suitable for the characteristics of Kato's role. If there are not many excellent audition candidates, I really want to confirm you."

Saenz was also very distressed. Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao performed very well. Together with Jet Li, they are probably the final contenders in this audition.

"Thank you for the director's compliment. In fact, we are also looking forward to having the opportunity to work with you."

After the two sides chatted for a while, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao left. They still have their own scenes to shoot, so it is impossible to stay here to chat with Saenz all day.

After they left, Saenz got up suddenly.

"I'll leave the rest to you. I have to go for an interview."

Saenz didn't wait for the other directors to agree, he had already left the scene with Jess.

After Saenz left, several directors participating in the interview couldn't help shaking their heads.

Judging from Saenz's reaction, it is estimated that Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao are his favorite objects. As for the rest of those who came to audition, Saenz probably does not like them, otherwise he would not hand them over to them.

Although I felt very uncomfortable, these people were invited by Golden Harvest to help, so this interview had to continue.

"The next batch of auditions please come in"

…………

"How do you think I should choose? Jet Li is the youngest, he is very agile in his skills and movements, and his image is not bad, but Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao are not much different from him."

After Saenz returned to the hotel, he sat on the sofa with a distressed look on his face.

Now he has roughly determined Kato's role among the three.

The three of Jet Li, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao are almost certain that in the end, one of them will pass the audition and win the role of Kato.

But as for who should give the role of Kato, this is something that makes Saenz very distressed.

"The re-examination has just started, and there is still some time before the final. You don't need to be so anxious now, you can take your time to investigate."

Jess certainly didn't want Saenz to finalize the result now, but Lin Daoqiu told him to let Jet Li and the three of them reach the final.

Although Jess didn't know what Lin Daoqiu wanted him to do next, the other party definitely didn't want the role of Kato to be settled too early.

"You're right. I still have time to think about it slowly, but it's not good for me to stay in Xiangjiang for too long. The preparations for the crew have already started, and I have to go back as soon as possible."

Saenz didn't plan to stay in Xiangjiang for too long. He came to Xiangjiang just to find an actor suitable for Kato's role, and he didn't plan to bring the crew to Xiangjiang.

Although he has been interviewed by the media during this period, and has reported frequently.

However, for Saenz, Xiangjiang's influence is less than [-]% of Hollywood's. The most important thing for him now is to devote himself to the filming of "The Green Hornet" as soon as possible.

"What are you going to do?"

Jace didn't understand what Saenz wanted to do.

"I'm planning to hold the final audition as soon as possible, which is in three days."

After hearing what Saenz said, Jess' eyes widened immediately, he didn't expect Saenz to be so eager.

"Don't be surprised. In fact, the re-examination can end today, and there are only about 50 people left. Among these people, I think the three of them are the best, so I plan to bring them to the crew to continue the audition."

"You want to take them back to America?"

Jess was a little frightened by Saenz's approach. The other party came to Xiangjiang just to find an actor to play Kato, but in the end he wanted to bring Jet Li, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao back to the United States to audition.

"Yes, I plan to take them to the set to put on their makeup, and then do the final confirmation."

Jess didn't know whether to persuade Saenz not to do this, or to agree with him, because his idea was still to give priority to Lin Daoqiu.

This sudden situation didn't know that Jess could control it in advance, so he planned to tell Lin Daoqiu the news as soon as possible.

Not long after, Fang Jinsheng received a call from Jess, and he briefly explained the matter to Fang Jinsheng on the phone.

After Fang Jinsheng put down the phone, he immediately went into the office and told what he had heard from Jess.

"Saenz is a very responsible director, and he is indeed very responsible in doing so."

Lin Daoqiu didn't find it strange. From the perspective of a responsible director, Saenz's approach was indeed very cautious, but it was also very good.

After all, it is not enough just to look at the appearance, the real effect can only be seen after applying makeup.

"You called Jess back and told him to add this guy's name to the finale as well."

After Lin Daoqiu and Fang Jinsheng said the person's name, Fang Jinsheng nodded immediately, and then quickly left Lin Daoqiu's office to call Jess back.
