Chapter 540 Return the favor

He has learned a lesson from Chen Jiahui's big name.

A 1.3 billion project was actually pushed forward on the grounds of lack of time. A situation like this has never happened in the entertainment industry. It would be understandable if he really didn't have time.

But before the filming date for "Escape from Blue Star" was finalized with him, he directly refused.

The meaning is obvious.

The producer didn't know if he didn't accept the film because he didn't like it. Anyway, he just refused without saying, "I want to read the script first and then make a decision."

A simple sentence: "The work schedule is too busy and I can't spare time."

Director Jiang was stunned.

immediately.

He chuckled lightly and said, "It seems that my drama is really unattractive. In this case, forget it."

As a great director in the entertainment industry, Director Jiang Yu’s experience is legendary. Just like James Cameron on earth, he was a truck driver before he was thirty-five years old. Suddenly one day he got tired of driving all day, so

Unexpectedly by his family, he directly joined the film industry that had nothing to do with his graduation and career.

Start by taking notes on the set.

Within a year, he became an assistant director. The next year, he wrote a script called "District 8", which only attracted an investment of 20 million, and created a staggering 1.8 billion movie.

box office.

In the third year, he took over the filming of "District 7" and the box office exceeded 2 billion, becoming the box office champion of that year. At the same time, he also entered the ranks of great directors. In addition, he was also the first film director in the film industry more than ten years ago.

Two directors whose box office grosses exceeded 2 billion, then fell silent for a while until now. This "Escape from Blue Star" is his third work.

It is precisely because of such brilliant achievements.

Tianwang Entertainment teamed up with several entertainment companies to jointly invest 1.3 billion in his film.

I have to admit that there are geniuses in this world, and Jiang Yu is obviously such a person. He just threw the truck and became a director, and he has been so successful.

The audition room was pushed away.

The staff led Yu Huang in.

Director Jiang, the producer, and the producer quickly stood up from their chairs, smiled and shook hands with Huang Huang.

"Teacher Yu, don't rush to audition yet. Teacher Chen is chatting with several bosses upstairs. They are all people you know. I will talk about you after I finish auditioning other actors."

Jiang Yu said with a smile.

Emperor Yu's expression condensed, and then he showed his usual smile and said, "Okay, I'll go up and talk to them first."

actually.

From Jiang Yu's words, Yu Huang had already heard the deeper meaning.

She doesn't fit the image of a leading female role in Director Jiang's mind. This has nothing to do with her acting skills. It's just that the role doesn't fit her well, or there may be an age issue.

After all, she is in her forties. Actresses of this age in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, no matter how good their acting skills are, will inevitably be restricted by age and unable to play certain roles.

After she left, the producer, who was in his fifties, asked, "Mr. Yu is very good at acting, why don't you use her!?"

"age"

Jiang Yu did not hide anything, and directly said, "In "Escape from Blue Star", the female lead has a lot of action scenes. Do you think it is useful to exercise at Teacher Yu's current age? So instead of wasting our time,

It’s better to refuse politely.”

"Why!"

The producer sighed and said, "The age of forty or fifty is indeed a period of decline for an actress' career."

“There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Jiang Yu said, "There are not many scripts in Hong Kong's entertainment industry suitable for actresses of this age, but Director Ji's "Love Letter" is very good, especially some of the songs in this drama."

Speaking of tunes.

Director Jiang thought of Chen Jiahui again. He originally planned to hand over the arrangement needed for "Escape from Blue Star" to Chen Jiahui and Hisaishi after Chen Jiahui passed the audition.

He has never read "Love Letters", but he likes both "Five Hundred Miles" and the last piano piece played by Chen Jiahui. As for the song "The Most Romantic Thing", his wife quite likes it, but

It doesn't fit his understanding of music, mainly because it's too boring.

More than a dozen actors were auditioned in succession.

At 5:30 in the evening, Director Jiang ended the afternoon audition work.

Among so many first- and second-tier actors, Guan Xiao was not surprising. Although her performance was pretty good among her peers, it still fell far short of Director Jiang's requirements, so in the end she was politely asked to go back and wait for notification.

When I came to the reception room on the sixth floor of Tianwang International Entertainment Company, it was very lively. The chairman of Tianwang Entertainment, the executive president of United Media, Director Zhong of Mountaineering Entertainment, and Director Lan of Xicheng Cable Digital Company. Among these people, Chen

Teacher Dao was chatting with them.

How to say it!?

When the play was first proposed, he sent the script to Mr. Chen Dao and invited him to play one of the roles.

This is an internal decision.

Teacher Yu, who was supposed to be there, had left at some point, but it was understandable. He declined politely, and naturally he could not stay here for too long.

They are all top-notch actors with good reputations. Naturally, they can't do anything shameless, and it's not like they can't get roles. In addition to Teacher Chen Dao, Director Du also came over and was chatting with the chairman of Tianwang Entertainment about the drama "Infernal Affairs"

.

"Have you found the right actor?"

Seeing him come in, Teacher Chen Dao turned around and asked.

"without"

Jiang Yu replied, "We have to continue tomorrow."

"Isn't that boy Chen Jiahui here?"

Teacher Chen Dao then asked another question, "I heard that you arranged his audition for this afternoon. What!? Why won't Lao Feng let him go!?"

"You don't like my drama!"

Jiang Yu took a sip of tea poured by the secretary of the chairman of Tianwang Entertainment, and then said, "I made several phone calls and declined, Lao Chen, you have worked with him several times, is this kid so arrogant!?"

I heard Jiang Yu mention Chen Jiahui.

Director Du instantly stopped chatting with the chairman of Tianwang Entertainment.

In fact, there is a big difference in status between the two, and there is nothing to talk about. It is just Corporal Li Xian, the chairman of Tianwang Entertainment, who expressed the principle of "good birds choose trees to roost" in a half-joking way in the presence of the chairman of Mountaineering Entertainment.

"You are a very professional young actor, but why do you turn him into such a arrogant person?"

Director Du smiled and said something.

Then he rolled his eyes and continued, "But since he rejected it, it proves that he has no connection with your project. He will regret it when your movie becomes a big hit! By the way, Lao Zhong and I have something to do and will leave first."

Finished.

Director Du pulled Zhong Hai, who was about to say something, out of the reception room.

"What's wrong!?"

Zhong Hai said with a puzzled look.

"I'll call Chen Jiahui"

Director Du took out his mobile phone and dialed Chen Jiahui's number directly. As soon as the call was connected, he said, "Chen Jiahui, I can tell you that your Uncle Du helped you a lot today. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have said no."

Quasi-old Chen took Director Jiang to your house to find you to star in "Escape from Blue Star"

"What's the meaning!?"

Chen Jiahui couldn't help but ask.

"You haven't read the script, have you!?"

Director Du sneered and said, "I tell you, Jiang Yu's script is very problematic, let me put it this way! His script contains comprehensive elements such as science fiction, disaster, suspense, action, etc. To put it simply, it is a movie with four different features, not to mention explosive.

If you don’t go to my grandma’s house, I will take his surname. So Jiahui, your Uncle Du helped you once, and you have to help your Uncle Du once. Write "Infernal Affairs II" to me quickly."

I heard Director Du’s last words.

Zhong Hai on the side slapped him hard on the shoulder.

This is the way a top mountaineering entertainment guide should do things.
