Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 293: Do you think it’s too late for me to go for the audition now?

Seeing the top bosses of Hong Kong coming, Liang Leming looked at Chen Cheng: "Director Chen, how about going over to take a look?"

"look?"

Chen Cheng was stunned: "What are you looking at?"

"Lord Liu, Lord Guo, Lord Li, and Hung Chin-po are all here, why don't you go say hello to them?"

"Why greet them? They are the actors who came to audition, and we are the audition leaders. Do you think we need to greet them?"

"This, this..."

"Okay, stop talking about this and that. Teachers, remember, you are the directors. A director should act like a director. When we shoot in the future, no matter who the actors are, we have to do it our way. Let them come over for the audition first."

"Okay, who should go first, King Liu, or..."

"It's not like King Liu was the first to arrive. We should follow the first-come, first-served order."

"Okay, okay."

The two of them were completely at a loss for what to do.

For this.

Chen Cheng also understood.

Both of them are new directors.

Although he has been in the crew for a long time, his status has not been improved and he does not have any representative works.

When I met some of Hong Kong's top actors, I naturally felt unsure.

However, Chen Cheng came here today just to calm the situation between the two of them.

No matter who the boss on the other side is.

Chen Cheng still followed the previously prepared audition plan and notified everyone one by one to audition.

And the lounge.

There was no separate rest room for each actor.

The actors who came for audition today were all arranged in a hall.

King Liu, King Guo, and King Lai sat together.

The one opposite is Hong Jinbao.

King Guo looked at King Li and said, "Brother Ming, you are here too."

Li Tianwang smiled and said, "Of course I have to come. I have worked with Director Chen on several projects. But you, why are you here? I heard that you said in the media that you can't come."

Aaron Kwok waved his hands from time to time: "Who said it couldn't be done? Which media created this gossip?"

King Liu smiled and said, "Why, Fucheng, you also have ideas about Director Chen."

Guo Tianwang replied: "Of course I have ideas, too many ideas. I think that you guys are really gaining fame and fortune by filming movies every day. Among us four heavenly kings, I am the worst, I should improve myself."

Li Tianwang laughed and scolded, "You're just kidding. If you say I'm the one who's doing the worst, you see I can't even get the No. 1 male role."

King Liu also said: "Is it as miserable as mine? Look at the past few years, I have been called box office poison."

King Guo curled his lips and said, "Brother Hua, Brother Ming, are you trying to see who is more miserable?"

Li Tianwang said: "Isn't that what you want to compete with?"

King Liu said, "Okay, let's keep our voices down, so as not to be laughed at by Master Hong."

"Uh-huh."

King Guo and King Li also nodded.

After about half an hour, it was King Liu's turn.

Liu Tianwang nodded to the two of them, then greeted Hong Jinbao opposite him and told him to go in first.

Hong Jinbao said: "Huazi, I'm waiting for your good news."

King Liu smiled and said, "I also want good news, but I'm afraid Director Chen will eliminate me."

talking.

King Liu entered the audition room.

"Hello, three directors. I am actor Liu Dehua."

Liu Dehua has a very high emotional intelligence.

As soon as he entered the audition room, without anyone else saying anything, he started introducing himself to the three directors sitting in front of him.

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Brother Hua, you still need to introduce yourself. Sit down."

Although Chen Cheng invited a group of top bosses from Hong Kong to audition this time.

But since they were here, Chen Cheng naturally gave them face: "Brother Hua, I'm sorry. The audition time is a bit tight and the audition conditions are not good. I'm sorry for putting you there."

Liu Dehua said, "Director Chen, what are you talking about? You don't know that I really want to work with you. It's just that I never had the chance before. I heard that you had a movie, so I got up early and came here because I was afraid of being late."

Chen Cheng replied: "Brother Hua, look at you, you have made me lose face. If you didn't have a role, your fans would beat the shit out of me."

of course.

These are just politeness.

After a while, Chen Cheng got to the point: "Brother Hua, the role I'm going to give you is the security chief in the drama. However, in Cold War 1 and Cold War 2, this role is a supporting role and doesn't have many scenes. However, in Cold War 3, you will have more scenes."

"Director Chen, I'll follow your instructions. I'll play whatever role you want me to play."

"Haha, Brother Hua, you are too modest."

Chen Cheng smiled, then turned to Liang Leming and Lu Jianqing and said, "Teachers, what do you think?"

The two waved their hands and said, "No."

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "Brother Hua, that's it for today. I'll let you know when there's news."

"Ok."

Liu Dehua stood up, shook hands with Chen Cheng and the other two, and then left.

Liang Leming and Lu Jianqing said with emotion: "King Liu has always been so polite."

"Yeah, otherwise how could he be the king?"

Chen Cheng also liked Liu Dehua very much.

Even though Chen Cheng knew.

Liu Dehua took on many bad movies and indeed became box office poison for a period of time.

But when it comes to Andy Lau's character, he is one of the best in Hong Kong.

So even though the films Liu Dehua took on were relatively bad, they didn't have very high box office returns.

But among the Four Heavenly Kings, King Liu is the most popular one.

Simultaneously.

Even if King Liu's box office is bad, his popularity remains undiminished and his status remains at the top.

……

After King Liu.

Next up is King Li Min Li.

Li Min, with whom Chen Cheng worked.

In The Besieged City, Li Min played the playboy Liu Yubai.

Among the Four Heavenly Kings, Li Min is the most noble and the most handsome one.

It is said that he is the richest among the Four Heavenly Kings.

Therefore, Li Min tends to be more Buddhist when filming.

Although he has acted in many dramas, they are neither worthy of criticism nor have many merits.

Chen Cheng drew up the list of people including Li Min mainly because of Li Min's fame.

After chatting with Li Min for a while and talking about the characters in the script, Li Min left.

Next up is King Aaron Kwok.

"Teachers, it will be King Guo in a moment, you two come over."

Chen Cheng mainly accompanied Liang Leming and Lu Jianqing to the audition.

After leading a few times, they let the two of them take the lead later.

The two were a little hesitant, but they gritted their teeth and nodded.

I'm teaching you step by step. If you still don't dare, you'd better find a piece of tofu and hit yourself to death.

Everything is good.

Under the command of Chen Cheng.

Although the person in front of me is King Guo.

But Liang Leming and Lu Jianqing performed quite well.

When it came to discussing the script, Liang Leming and Lu Jianqing even forgot whether the person in front of them was Aaron Kwok.

Just follow your own way.

even.

The two of them also asked Aaron Kwok to take a line and try it out first.

Liang Leming and Lu Jianqing were also very satisfied with Aaron Kwok's performance.

After King Guo left, Liang Leming and Lu Jianqing said to Chen Cheng, "Director Chen, how do you feel?"

"It's OK, but don't be so polite. You're the director. How can a director be so polite to an actor?"

“But this is King Guo.”

"King Guo is also an actor. Besides, the fact that he came to our crew means something. It means he wants our role."

"Well, Director Chen, let's try again later."

After auditioning with Aaron Kwok, the two gained a little more confidence.

Afterwards, he auditioned some other actors and they became very comfortable with it. Chen Cheng nodded secretly.

Next is Hong Jinbao.

Look at the name.

The two teachers said, "Director Chen, Master Hong, you should come."

"Why, are you scared?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, this big guy really can't stand it." "Okay, let me do it."

Chen Cheng smiled.

Unlike several other actors.

The other actors can be said to be top actors in Hong Kong.

Hong Jinbao is more than just an actor.

He is a big shot.

No.

The boss among bosses.

"Uncle Hong."

Seeing Hong Xibao coming, Chen Cheng also stood up and greeted Hong Xibao.

This is an audition though.

But no matter what, Hong Jinbao's identity is there.

He has made great contributions to domestic films.

Be it fame, reputation, or status... they are all top-notch in Hong Kong.

It is a great honor for Hong Jinbao to come for the audition.

Face is mutual.

Hong Jinbao gave face to Chen Cheng.

When Hong Xibao enters the audition room, Chen Cheng will also give Hong Xibao enough face.

"Hahaha, Chen Cheng, you've finally earned some face this time."

Chen Cheng replied: "It's not about gaining face. You know that filming is exhausting. I really don't want to take this job."

Hong Xibao knew what was going on and said, "It's hard for you. But you are so capable, so who else can I go after?"

"I'm just afraid that if I mess up, all the big guys in Hong Kong will scold me to death."

"I'll see who dares. If Long Wu dares to say anything nonsense, I will stand up and scold him."

Hong Jinbao has an extraordinary status and position.

Even if it is Long Wu, we have to give him some face.

"Master Hong, your role is in the third part of Cold War. You may not have many scenes in the early part."

Chen Cheng said as he chatted with Hong Jinbao.

Hong Jinbao didn't care about it and said, "It's okay, I'll just make a cameo appearance. When people get old, it's the young people's world. It's better than anything else if young people can support the Hong Kong film industry."

Having said that, Hong Jinbao glanced at Chen Cheng again and said, "Chen Cheng, thank you very much."

Chen Cheng was stunned.

Later, he understood that Hong Jinbao's thanks were referring to Chen Cheng hiring Qian Xiaohao as martial arts instructor.

At the same time, Chen Cheng also drafted Qian Xiaohao's younger brother Qian Jiale to become an important member of Cold War.

The two actors were both members of the Hong Family Class back then.

Also.

Chen Cheng also used another new member of the Hong Clan, Eddie Peng.

"Uncle Hong, I really can't accept your thanks. Your Hong Family Class has provided countless talents to Hong Kong and the mainland. Many times, I have always followed your example."

This is serious.

Just like the behind-the-scenes team created by Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng wanted to learn from the Hong family.

But it is obvious that the Hong family is more powerful.

Hong Jinbao not only created a series of behind-the-scenes teams, but also trained a series of top actors in front of the scenes.

Such as Wu Ma, Lin Zhengying, Zou Zhaolong... and so on.

Even Cheng Xi was a member of the Hong Family Class back then, but he later became independent.

"You're fine."

Looking at Chen Cheng, Hong Jinbao said with great emotion: "Let's go."

talking.

Hong Jinbao left.

……

The audition ended in the morning.

Continue in the afternoon.

Chen Cheng took a rest.

In no mood.

in the afternoon.

There were several more top actors in the audition room.

Liu Qingyun, Gu Tianle, Liang Chaowei... and so on.

Assistant Xiaomei said that the three arrived at 1 o'clock and waited in the audition room for more than an hour.

the other side.

Some other Hong Kong actors who had been paying attention to the developments over here were almost vomiting blood.

"Three of the four kings are gone, these guys."

"Hong Jinbao has gone, is this how you think of Chen Cheng?"

"What, Liang Chaowei is there too?"

Zhou Renfa kept walking around in the room.

After a while.

Zeng Zhiwei called him and asked, "Brother Fa, are you going?"

"We agreed not to go, Boss Zeng, so don't tell me you're going."

"I don't want to go, but so many people are going, it would be bad if we don't go."

"What's wrong with that? You're a big shot. If a big shot goes to audition, it means he's looking down on you."

"You can't say that. After all, Chen Cheng is not an ordinary director."

"I don't care. Chen Cheng is very capable. If he sincerely invites me to play a role, I will certainly be willing. But, if you ask me to audition, I'm sorry, it's impossible."

"Then I'll go first."

"what……"

Looking at Zeng Zhiwei who hung up the phone, Chow Yun-fat was a little dumbfounded.

We agreed not to go.

This guy has become useless in just a few days.

But let Zeng Zhiwei change his mind if he wants.

If Chow Yun-fat doesn’t want to go, then he won’t go.

At this time.

His wife Chen Huilian came out and persuaded him, "Ah Fa, I think you should go. After all, Chen Cheng has invited you."

"Inviting me to an audition, is this also called an invitation?"

"After all, Chen Cheng is a big Hollywood director, and he may have higher requirements for filming."

"He has a request, but I don't have one?"

"You, you are so stubborn. Look, Liu Dehua, Guo Fucheng... they all went. And Hong Jinbao, is Mr. Hong's reputation lower than yours?"

"I don't care about them, I only care about myself."

"You, you..."

There was nothing Chen Huilian could do about Zhou Renfa, so she put the tea away and went out.

"Humph……"

Feeling a little irritated, Zhou Renfa poured himself a cup of tea.

The tea was only half drunk.

Zhou Renfa was very unhappy when he saw the news was full of news about Han Zhan and Chen Cheng's audition.

What made him unhappy was that Chen Cheng didn't respect them.

But this is only secondary.

He was even more upset.

Some guys had clearly agreed not to go, but ended up rebelling on the spot.

Just like Zeng Zhiwei.

but.

Just when Zhou Renfa wanted to turn off the news about Chen Cheng.

However, he accidentally saw a sentence that Long Wu said: "I think Chen Cheng is the best director in China, no doubt about it."

Seeing Long Wu's words in the video, Zhou Renfa instantly broke out in cold sweat.

"Long Wu."

"I go……"

For an instant.

Zhou Renfa's face turned a little pale.

he knows.

Long Wu would not speak nonsense in the media.

Almost instantly.

Zhou Renfa took out his phone and said, "Master Hong, do you think it's too late for me to go for the audition now?"
