Chapter 344 [All newcomers, fire before shooting]
Gao Weiguang successfully joined Yingyi Entertainment, starting with celebrity assistants and doing odd jobs in the company.
When Andy Lau comes to the mainland, he will inspect him and then consider whether to sign an artist contract with him.
Liang Kun sent Andy Lau a few photos of Gao Weiguang and told him about his ideas for future idol dramas, and Andy Lau agreed.
Since the company is going to shoot idol dramas, the more handsome men and beautiful women, the better. As long as the development goes smoothly, the more people the company will be divided into the film department and the TV department after more people.
Gao Weiguang had no specific job at the beginning, so he usually stayed at the company and learned the basics of acting with Lin Jiadong.
He joined the company a bit embarrassing, and he was destined to be in the first year of class. If he wanted to take the Central Academy of Drama, he would have to take the exam next year as soon as possible.
On the 21st, Tang Ji also returned to Yanjing.
Her parents had to let go, and she was going to come back to attend a large press conference. "Sorry, I Love" was about to start filming, and the crew had basically arranged it. The entertainment company was established last year and had not released a film for a whole year, and Andy Lau couldn't wait.
In order to make the TV series more attractive, Andy Lau took the time to visit Yanjing and led the press conference on August 25.
When announcing the cast, all the reporters felt that the prospects for this film were a bit bad, and the starring actors were all newcomers.
It is acceptable for everyone to play Liang Kun as the male lead, because this incident has been announced to the public long ago. Liang has a large number of fans, and his role as the male lead can attract many people to watch.
Andy Lau personally announced that the heroine was Tang Qi, which was very surprising and he took photos together.
The reporter asked: "Ms. Tang has only filmed Liang Kun's MV before and has no other performance experience. Would it be too risky to let her be the heroine?"
Andy Lau replied: "This is exactly why we chose her as the heroine. When filming the MV, she and Liang Kun cooperated very well. When they collaborated, they felt like they were a couple. And she was completely in line with the role settings in the world."
Liang Kun also expressed optimism about Tang Qi. "I am the author, and no one knows better what the most important thing about this role is than me. I think it is not acting skills, but feeling. If the actress's image and temperament are not suitable, no matter how good the acting skills are, she can definitely act well."
The reporter asked: "Ms. Tang, after working together on the last time she filmed the MV, she became friends with Liang Kun. Are you nervous now that she is partnering with him again?"
"I'm not nervous because I'm fully prepared. I bought it as soon as it was released. I've seen it countless times. The plot is almost all in my mind. I'm confident that I can play this role well." Tang Qi's smile was very sweet.
She didn't know how to say something in her heart, but she was very happy. When Liang Kun posted it, she said she wanted her to play the heroine, but now she did what she said and fulfilled her promise.
What surprised the reporters the most was not Tang Qi, but the second male lead Liu Nian played by Sun Rui.
Tang Qi was a student of the Central Academy of Drama after all, and was a regular performer. He was the first in the art exam. Sun Ruize was a student of Yanjing University, just like Liang Kun, and he was about to be promoted to a senior.
This TV series is not only newcomers, but also two top students from Yan University, and the combination is quite outrageous. Is this a relationship?
Because of Liang Kun, Sun Rui has been on the news many times. He and Liang Kun often go to school together and live together. This is reported by the media. If Constantine also appears in the play, it will be a work that Liang Kun and his friends are filming and playing.
The reporter asked Liang Kun: "We know that he (Sun Rui) is a good friend, but he is not a performer and has no acting experience. If you let him play the second male lead, aren't you afraid of messing up?"
"I'm not afraid, because he often acts with me at home. He originally helped me practice acting skills, but later he acted better and better. Moreover, we have a good relationship. If he plays this role, he can perform the feeling of brotherhood."
Andy Lau smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can't just designate actors just because they have a good relationship. They have all been auditioned. His relationship with Akun can only get an audition opportunity, and he passed it."
The reporter asked: "In this TV series, the main characters did not have public auditions, right?"
Andy Lau nodded. "It's true that they are not, because they act well and are their own artists, so there is no need to find anyone else to try it. In terms of age, they are also very suitable."
The three protagonists were particularly eye-catching, and the topic was chatting around them for a while before they began to introduce the second female lead.
The second female lead actor is Qin Lan, who made his mark last year because of playing Chen Zhihua in "My Fair Princess 3". This role was selected for audition. The company invited several people, and Qin Lan was the most famous one.
She likes Liang Kun very much, so she took the audition and was willing to play a supporting role for Tang Qi. This is not a career regression. She has never played the leading female lead before.
Her last drama was "I Have a Date with a Zombie 3", and the fighting scenes were quite eye-catching. Perhaps because of an unpleasant experience, when the crew of "Storm and Cloud 2" invited her to act in Yu Chuchu, she refused to dress up and chose a modern drama.
This is a wise decision. The stylist of "Storm 2" should be pulled out and shot for 5 minutes. The looks of the heroines in the play look very strange, with their clothes and Meng Huo who were in and out of seven by Zhuge Liang, and their hairstyles look like Shamatt with static electricity.
What’s even more eye-catching is Junior Brother Fahai who has grown a little hair, an unknown senior who “crows become a sperm”… The boss Indra Shitian actually claimed that he was the Monkey King, and his performance was jumping up and down. I don’t know if the background of that era, “Journey to the West” was published.
Lan Jieying also attended the press conference and played the mother of the important male protagonist.
She was in a good mood and said a lot, which looked very normal.
Liang Kun took on two tasks for her.
Red Mission: Lan Jieying wants to prove herself again, gain a foothold in the mainland entertainment industry, and stay in the mainland to develop. She helps her become a red star in the mainland, make a lot of money, and successfully transform and complete the task.
Orange Mission: Lan Jieying hopes to live a relaxed life and get rid of the harassment of paparazzi. Care more about her and help her get used to living in the mainland.
The two tasks are related, and the orange tasks are easier.
Lan Jieying must transform. She is no longer young and can only play roles such as mother and aunt. It is difficult for her to become a red star in the mainland, but it is easier to make money.
Because the pay for Xiangjiang TVB is too low, as long as you play an important role in the mainland, you will definitely earn more than on TVB.
Her orange task is easier to complete, and mainland journalists are not so immoral.
In Xiangjiang, paparazzi deliberately stared at her and dug out her negative news. Many of the news reports said that she was poor, old, mentally ill, and never said good things.
It is too easy to do news about Lan Jieying. Her emotions are prone to fluctuations, so as long as she provokes her a little, she will definitely be able to take a strange photo of her tantrum. She herself knows the malice of the Hong Kong media. After being invited by Andy Lau, she wants to come to the mainland to develop.
An artist who has outstanding performance has fallen into such a situation in Xiangjiang, which is simply incredible. A star like her in the mainland has a net worth of at least tens of millions, and at least it is impossible for her to be poor and be consumed by entertainment reporters.
Li Keqin's friend Li Jiasheng also came to the mainland to develop. He will play the role of an expert doctor who treats Liang Kun in the play. He has many roles, and the two are friends, and the doctor often wants to explain him.
The director is Li Guoli recommended by Liang Kun, which is also a complaint of the crew and is not favored by the industry.
Li Guoli hasn't made a film for a long time. The last TV series directed by him was "The Two Sexes" in 1999, and "The Female General of the Yang Family". In other words, he has not been a director for four years.
The next day, many media reported the lineup list set by "Sorry, I Love". Many people also began to discuss it online, and some people broke the news.
"This movie feels like a devastating thing. Liang Kun just wanted to play with his friends, so he released this kind of cast. Although he was co-starred with Xiangjiang, the actors in Xiangjiang are all supporting roles, and the four main characters are all newcomers in the mainland. How can I play this?"
"The reason Andy Lau agreed to this arrangement is because he has focused all his energy on movies, right? He has made several movies this year and has almost no time to be idle."
"Sun Rui is the famous rich second-generation of Yanda and the son of the boss of a listed company. His family is not short of money. In order to live with Liang Kun, he bought a house. Many people in Yanda know about this. Moreover, he is also a small shareholder of the company, so he must have brought funds into the group this time."
"Apart from Qin Lan, all other important characters in this film are not auditioned publicly and directly joined the group. Who knows what Tang Ji does at home? I feel that her background is the most powerful, and Andy Lau and Liang Kun will help her stand together."
"I think the movie will be very good, all of which are handsome men and beautiful women. Qin Lan's appearance is a little less beautiful when she plays the second female lead. The book is about a super beauty, which has fascinated many people. Tang Qi is more beautiful than her."
There are many evaluations, and many Liang fans are not optimistic about this TV series, and they suspect that Liang Kun will mess up. Some Liang fans also said that their acting skills don’t matter, and it’s enough to watch their faces. The film is worth looking forward to.
Sun Rui turned out to have a roommate with a big mouth in the dormitory. He knew everything was rumored out, and his background was revealed by reporters. Some supporting actresses would definitely want to please him on the set. Being his girlfriend has much more promising than playing supporting actors.
Tang Ji's family background was also revealed. The Magic City media revealed that her parents were not big shots in the entertainment industry, but just ordinary people.
Some people immediately speculated that there was a financial backer behind her. Some people said that they had seen Sun Rui send her to the Central Academy of Drama, and suspected that they were a couple, while others suspected that she and Liang Kun were a couple.
Is Andy Lau a guest appearance in a TV series? It is also a topic that many people are concerned about, and the probability is not high.
After the press conference, Andy Lau returned to Xiangjiang to participate in the filming of the movie "Infernal Affairs 3".
"Infernal Affairs 2" and "Infernal Affairs 3" adopted a continuous filming method. The second part is a prequel, with Liu Jianming starring Chen Guanxi, and Andy Lau not joining the crew. In the third episode, Andy Lau was the person with the most role, and he was about to get busy.
The film has been discussed before it even started filming...
