Chapter 1801 1803 [Protagonist selection]
Subsequently, preparations for "Best Partner" began.
??This movie tells the story of a thief who accidentally left behind a white glove while robbing the King Kong treasure, which led the police to misunderstand that it was the work of the international thief White Gloves. So a bald detective was specially invited from the United States to come to Hong Kong to hunt down fugitives.
?At this time, the real international thief White Gloves was unhappy with someone impersonating him, and came to Xiangjiang to prepare to get rid of King Kong. King Kong sensed the danger and decided to cooperate with the police.
??In the end, after a fierce battle, White Gloves was brought to justice. King Kong and the bald detective also became the best partners because of their tacit cooperation.
This movie has three main protagonists. One is King Kong, one is the bald detective, and the other is the bald detective''s wife, a man-in-law.
As the protagonist of King Kong, Xiang Nan naturally does his part. The bald detective also has a heavy role, with Mai Jia starring in the original version. But Xiang Nan definitely couldn''t invite him.
Because Mai Jia is the boss of Xinyi City, naturally he will not take advantage of others.
But if it is left to others to perform, Xiang Nan is not at ease. After all, this character needs to be funny enough, but at the same time not be able to dominate the show and steal Xiang Nan''s limelight.
After the two discussed it, Wang Jing recommended to Xiang Nan Chen Baixiang, who had collaborated with him on many films. After Xiang Nan thought about it, he felt that he was quite suitable.
??Chan Baixiang''s acting skills are very good. Although he has not won any acting awards, the fact that he can play with Zhou Xingchi and not be compared with him speaks volumes.
And when he plays comedy, he is also quite funny. The classic characters created such as Duo Long in "The Deer and the Cauldron", Xian Shichao in "The Best Bad Friend", Traffic Light in "The Girl Chasing", Zhu Zhishan in "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance", etc., have all given the audience Make a lasting impression.
?Furthermore, although his acting skills are good and he is funny enough, he does not steal the show and is a very useful supporting role. Therefore, Xiang Nan also felt that he was suitable.
…
Hang Nan still hopes that Sylvia Chang will play the role of a man-in-law.
After all, her role as a man-in-law is really good, and she is even better in scenes with Mai Jia and Xu Guanjie.
?In addition, Xiang Nan is not going to use Zhong Chuhong anymore as the man-in-law’s sister Dingdang who is in love with King Kong.
After all, Chung Chu Hong had already been his girlfriend in "Police Story" and left a deep impression on the audience.
When filming "The Best Partner", Xiang Nan just wanted to be innovative. If we collaborate with Chung Chu Hong again, the audience will be confused.
??But if Zhong Chuhong is not needed, who should we use? Xiang Nan''s development focus has not been in Xiangjiang in the past two years, and he really doesn''t know much about the new beauties.
“Director Wang, what do you recommend?” Xiang Nan asked Wang Jingdao.
"In the past two years, many potential new stars have emerged in Xiangjiang." Wang Jing counted on her fingers, "For example, Lu Xiuling, Liu Lanxi, and Dai Liangchun from Baodao, and wireless new stars Chen Yulian, Zhou Xiulan, Jing Daiyin, etc. Li Saimin, Yu Anan, and Guan Zhilin are all pretty good.”
Xiang Nan blinked when he heard this, "Then bring their information and let''s study it first."
“Okay.” Wang Jing nodded, and then brought the information.
Xiang Nan pretended to make a selection, and then picked Guan Zhilin out.
?Hong Kong film industry recognizes that there are three beauties, Guan Zhilin, Lin Qingxia, and Li Jiaxin. Wang Zhixian, Qiu Shuzhen, and Zhang Min are so beautiful, but they can''t even be listed among them, which shows how good-looking those three are.
??If Xiang Nan wants to choose a CP, of course he chooses the most beautiful one, otherwise how can he be worthy of his reputation as a big brother in the film industry.
“Okay, it’s her.” Xiang Nan clicked on Guan Zhilin’s photo and said.
“Good choice.” Wang Jingdu agreed. Guan Zhilin is indeed beautiful, with fair skin and a slim figure, like a porcelain doll. With such a beautiful woman joining the cast, her looks alone are worth the price of admission.
…
Subsequently, the crew of "Best Partner" sent invitations to all the artists.
Chen Baixiang and Guan Zhilin both accepted it immediately.
After all, it is a great honor for the two of them to cooperate with Xiang Nan.
If they become famous instantly, it will be of great benefit to their stardom.
?However, Sylvia Chang declined the invitation because she wanted to film "Lifetime Events" directed by King Hu.
? Hu Jinquan and Sylvia Chang’s grandfather were family friends. He had watched Sylvia Chang since he was a child, and they had a close relationship. In 1979, the two also collaborated on "Legend of the Mountain" and stayed together in South Korea for a year. Sylvia Chang learned many skills of director and director from Hu Jinquan, so she regarded him as her mentor.
Therefore, although "The Best Partner" is a large-scale project with an investment of tens of millions, she is likely to become a cross-strait superstar with this film, but in order to repay Hu Jinquan, she still refused this invitation.
Xiang Nan can understand her approach. In fact, he admired such a loyal son and daughter like her. After all, there are too few people who would give up fame and fortune for their loyalty.
?However, if Sylvia Chang doesn''t play the role, the man-in-law will have to choose another role.
Fortunately, Wang Jing quickly proposed a new candidate, the pillar of Wireless - Zheng Yuling.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded.
?Zheng Yuling has played countless strong women in her acting career. Such as ADA in "Eagle Project", Mao Xiaohui in "Father and Girl", "Hello, Cousin!" "Zheng Shuonan in "And so on. It was not difficult for her to play the role of the man-in-law in "The Best of Us".
??And Zheng Yuling is also well-known. She has filmed many popular dramas on TVB, such as "Rainbow", "Bride", "Family", "Passenger" and so on.
?Especially the 30-second kiss scene with Chow Yun-fat in "The Man Online" not only set a historical record, but also caused a sensation in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
?Hence, in terms of acting skills and popularity, she is a good candidate to play the role of a man''s wife.
…
After receiving the invitation, Zheng Yuling readily agreed, but she asked for a salary of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Logically speaking, although she is very famous, she has never made a movie before, so her salary is a bit high.
For example, Chow Yun-fat is known as the king of long-form dramas, but his previous salary for a film was only 50,000 yuan; when Zhao Yazhi starred in her debut film "Half a Category", the salary was only 10,000 yuan; Zheng Shaoqiu is so popular, and now he is hired to film, the salary is only 80,000 yuan Yuan…
"How about replacing someone else." Wang Jing discussed with Xiang Nan, "Liao Jianren, Ouyang Peishan, and Mi Xue are all suitable."
"Forget it, just use her." Xiang Nan waved his hand.
Hong Kong dollars 200,000 is indeed expensive, but Cheng Yuling is worth the price.
Since the boss agreed, Wang Jing stopped trying to persuade her and immediately sent a notice to Zheng Yuling. Subsequently, the filming of "The Best Partner" officially started.
Because this movie is Xiang Nan''s second blockbuster after "Police Story", the audience is looking forward to it, and the media has also reported on it. As a result, the movie has already received a lot of attention as soon as it started filming. Spend.
