Chapter seven hundred and sixteen the city is full of golden armor
While Men Jie understood everything in his mind, Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Ziyi also understood it.
Everyone in the room knew very well that Zhang Yimou was planning to invite Men Jie to make a guest appearance in his new movie.
If Zhang Yimou invited Menjie to play a leading role or even a supporting role in his new movie, Menjie would not refuse. In fact, under such circumstances, both Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Ziyi would take the initiative.
Persuade Menjie.
But now...
It's just a friendly guest appearance, I really can't tell!
However, in the eyes of Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Ziyi, they still felt that Menjie should play such a role.
For Zhang Yimou to take the initiative to invite Menjie to make a guest appearance in his movie, I think Zhang Yimou really felt that such a role could not be played by anyone other than Menjie. He himself also valued Menjie very much.
If Menjie can agree, it will be equivalent to forming a good relationship with Zhang Yimou. Presumably, if Zhang Yimou has a suitable role for Menjie in the future, he will never be stingy with this opportunity and truly invite Menjie.
Even for this point, Menjie had absolute necessity and agreed.
"Director Zhang, can I ask you a question, would you invite me to come and play this role in your play?"
After a slight hesitation, Men Jie already had his answer in mind, but still asked Zhang Yimou.
Although he already had his own answer, Menjie still wanted to hear Zhang Yimou's own reasons.
"It's simple, because the role I'm talking about...is suitable for you!"
After pondering for a moment, he seemed to feel that Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Ziyi who were present were not people who would talk nonsense, so Zhang Yimou did not hesitate at all and explained directly to Men Jie.
"In my new movie, I want to invite you to play the role of one of the generals. And in the biggest highlight of this movie, which is the final battle, if you, Menjie, can play the role of this general,
, will definitely make this movie more perfect!”
As he spoke, Zhang Yimou couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said to Men Jie, "In the final analysis, in this movie of mine, the main characters are the emperor, the queen and the prince. The last scene is one of them.
The prince leads his soldiers to attack the palace!"
"In the whole film, because there is Zhou Runfa who is very suitable to play the role of the emperor. I believe that there should be no problems in the palace scenes. But in terms of 'iron-blooded', 'ruthless', and 'killing'
.I think it’s still lacking something. A poignant, bloody, war-themed movie would be incomplete if it lacked the presence of a real soldier!”
Menjie nodded slightly and after listening to Zhang Yimou's words, he roughly understood. The other party found out the reason for his friendly guest appearance.
Everything is because of Menjie's personal photo album "Emperor of God of War"!
In this photo album, the main image is that of Menjie, who is as iron-blooded as a real warrior. Even with just one photo, Menjie can rely on his superb acting skills and high-end
The use of temperament and ability made Zhang Yimou's eyes shine when he saw it by chance, and he felt that the image of a warrior missing in his new movie was just right for Menjie!
So, I went directly to the crew of the movie "The Banquet" and found Men Jie, hoping to make a friendly guest appearance to help Zhang Yimou perfect the whole movie and make it more beautiful.
"actually……"
Before Menjie could speak, Zhang Yimou smiled bitterly and spoke to Menjie.
"When I first started, the first person I invited to be the leading actor in my new movie was Chow Run-fa. But at that time, Chow Run-fa was working in other factions and was very busy, and according to him, he might not be able to adjust.
When the schedule started, it was very likely that there would be no way to star in this movie. After that, he recommended you to me, saying that if you were invited to play the role of the emperor in the movie, you would definitely be able to achieve good results. After that,
, I did browse your information!"
What?!
After hearing Zhang Yimou's words, Menjie was shocked and his eyes widened with a feeling of disbelief.
The three greatest figures in the Hong Kong film industry, Chow Sing-chi, Fang Cheng-long and Chow Yun-fa, are known as the double Monday 10%. Among them, Chow Sing-chi, Fang Cheng-long and Men Jie all have certain contacts, and they have even filmed movies together. However,
Zhou Runfa and Menjie have never had even one contact.
However, through the media, the two did have several conversations.
after all……
In the whole of China, Men Jie and Zhou Runfa may be the best performers as emperors!
After all, Zhou Runfa became popular in the entertainment industry as a gangster, and after that, he has played basically all the big shots.
The emperor, the gambling king, the academic master, the gangster...
Wait for everything!
In itself, Zhou Runfa possesses the majesty of a superior person. Coupled with so many years of influence, this feeling has been cultivated to a relatively advanced level. It can be said that China is the most suitable person to play the emperor.
.
Men Jie, too, has a "majestic temperament" that is suitable for portraying emperors and bosses. Compared with Zhou Runfa, he is more fierce and domineering.
Because of this, and in the past two years, Menjie has developed extremely rapidly. He can be said to be the strongest newcomer in the entire entertainment industry in recent years. The media often compares Menjie to Zhou Runfa.
successor.
After all, Zhou Runfa is old.
It is precisely because of this that Men Jie and Zhou Runfa had several conversations through the media.
In front of the media, Zhou Runfa did not hide his admiration for Menjie and publicly supported Menjie, which brought him considerable help.
Just because of Zhou Runfa's public support, Menjie has been recognized by many Zhou Runfa fans!
As for Men Jie, he was also very grateful to this film industry boss who he had never met but supported him, and expressed his respect for Zhou Runfa through the media.
But even in front of the media, the two behaved very well, but after all, the two had never met, and their relationship would not be very good anyway.
But under such a situation, Zhou Runfa actually recommended himself to Zhang Yimou without Menjie's knowledge. This, this is really incredible!
What did Zhou Runfa think? Could it be that he really helped him selflessly because he thought Menjie was very good and had great potential?!
This move made Menjie very confused.
"Zhou Runfa told me that as far as playing the emperor is concerned, you are very talented and can be made. If he didn't have time, he hoped that I could choose you. However, after I read your information, I didn't
I haven’t decided to send you an invitation!”
Zhang Yimou sighed slightly, maybe Zhang Yimou thought that Menjie already knew that Zhou Runfa had recommended Menjie to him, so he continued without explaining too much.
"It's a pity... the emperor in my new movie is an image of a man with a deep city and a strategist like a god. When you played the emperor, Menjie, you did have a very high level, but it gave people the impression that
But he is too sharp and not suitable to be the leading actor in my movie!"
"So after that, I didn't invite you, but I continued to contact Zhou Runfa, hoping that he could play the leading role in my new play. In the end, for various reasons, he agreed!"
"Originally, my impression of you was only about cooperating with Zhou Xingchi in the movie "Kung Fu" and Fang Chenglong in the movie "The Myth". I don't know much about you, but it is precisely because of Zhou Runfa that I
I also pay more attention to you. It just so happened that you released a personal photo album "The God of War Emperor" produced by Li Kuangkuang some time ago, and I bought a copy. After that..."
With a wry smile, Zhang Yimo shrugged helplessly and said to Menjie, "After seeing your image as a warrior in the photo album, I felt that if I didn't put you in my movie, you would be one of mine."
Huge loss, so..."
"I really hope you can agree to make a friendly guest appearance in my new movie!"
When speaking, Zhang Yimou's eyes were full of sincerity, and Menjie could fully feel Feng Xiaogang's sincerity.
With a chuckle, Menjie nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Of course, it's my honor!"
In fact, long before, when Zhang Yimou had just invited Men Jie, Men Jie was already ready to agree.
Although Menjie didn't expect to make money by playing a role in Feng Xiaogang's new play, or it might become a big hit, he just went there to gain face by selling Zhang Yimou.
But after listening to Zhang Yimou's reasons for inviting him, Menjie knew very clearly that he must win such a role!
Up to now, the film and television works that Menjie has filmed have basically formed several routines.
A rather majestic emperor, a rather paranoid scientific madman, and a funny figure in the popular TV series "Wulin Gaiden" some time ago.
Among them, the rather paranoid image of Frankenstein is too niche after all. Menjie thinks that it may not be used a few times in the future and can be temporarily removed.
In this case, Menjie's current acting options are only majestic emperor and comedy.
