Since someone is willing to award an award, I should take it as a kind of encouragement and encouragement, nothing more.
The time has come to mid-April unknowingly, and with the release of The Unknown, there is only one drama left to be aired, which is also the most anticipated one, Rescue Mr.
Not only because of the two great actors Liu Tianwang and Liu Ye, but also because Hua Zi has the most important role since his debut. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the second male lead.
There are not many opportunities to press Liu Tianwang to the ground and rub him!
Unfortunately, I failed the first review and needed to revise the details again. It took another two or three months to go back and forth. There was no other way. It was estimated that it would be September or October.
I just finished my workout today when I suddenly received a call. It was Sun Honglei?
"Have you taken any roles recently?" Sun Honglei said straight to the point.
"No, I'm just idle at home. Is there anything wrong with Brother Lei?"
"To Qifeng wanted to make a mainland film about police and criminals, and he just found me." Sun Honglei explained: "I think you are suitable for the villain role. If you have nothing to do, you can try acting?"
"Du Qifeng!" Ding Hui was stunned and said in surprise: "Du SIR of Galaxy Image?"
"Who else besides him?" Sun Honglei said with a smile: "It's the famous Johnnie To. Not only him, but also Wei Jiahui and You Naihai, a complete iron triangle."
"Yes!" Ding Hui said quickly: "Of course I do!"
"Well, that's it. I'll talk about it when I get the chance. You can wait for the news."
Until he hung up, Ding Hui still hadn't recovered his senses, "Hey, that's Johnnie To!"
He took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and quickly called Zhao Hong. After briefly explaining the situation, he said seriously: "Brother Zhao, I want to try my best to fight for this opportunity!"
"To Qifeng?" Zhao Hong was also a little surprised. He really didn't know that Johnnie To came to the mainland to film?
Or a police movie?
After pondering for a moment, he said: "I understand. This opportunity is rare and must be fought for. Leave this matter to me. Since Sun Honglei is willing to take the initiative to recommend, then prepare well for the interview."
"To Qifeng is not an ordinary person. He is famous for being strict. The company will definitely help, but nine times out of ten, you have to rely on yourself."
Of course Ding Hui knew that calling on the phone was just to increase his bargaining chip. Johnnie To was not a director who could make arrangements with just a phone call.
Just after hanging up with Zhao Hong, another call came in, and it turned out to be Liu Tianwang.
"I gave Johnnie To a meal a few days ago and he said he wanted to go to the mainland to film a movie. I recommended you."
On the other side of the phone, Liu Tianwang said without any nonsense: "It should be about police and criminals, Du Sir's old profession, are you interested in giving it a try?"
Ding Hui was a little confused. Is this a coincidence?
"Of course I'm interested, thank you Brother Hua!"
"Don't thank me first, Du SIR's scenes are not easy to film." Liu Tianwang said with a smile: "According to what he said, he wanted to come to the mainland to try the waters. It would be best to use your actors, especially the protagonists. At least it would be troublesome to pass the review.
slightly less."
"Nine times out of ten, we have to cooperate with the official. I don't know the subject yet. I didn't ask too much. I just said that your kid is quite suitable for playing the villain and let him have time to find out more about it."
"I understand." Ding Hui was not stupid and continued to thank him: "I will try my best. Thank you for taking care of me, sir."
"Hahaha, okay, that's it, call me if you have any questions."
Ding Hui listened to the busy signal on the phone and couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of fate. After going round and round, two people unanimously recommended him?
Sun Honglei because of cooperation in anti-gangsters, Liu Tianwang because of rescuing my husband, and unknown people Pan Binlong and Wang Yanhui...
The success rate of self-referral is very high!
Suddenly discovered that this should be a common rule in the entertainment industry?
Not just actors, but in other industries, it seems more reliable to recommend acquaintances to acquaintances?
No matter what, I must go all out for this opportunity. Johnnie To is the director I admire most and he is considered the number one Chinese-speaking director in my heart.
Galaxy Image is also the pinnacle of Hong Kong films. I have watched every film countless times, especially the Iron Triangle. I never dreamed that I would have the opportunity to collaborate with Johnnie To.
Calming down, without a script and no idea of what to prepare, Ding Hui could only use the existing clues to analyze. The first choice must be the villain. Sun Honglei and Liu Tianwang have already been determined.
This is also his biggest advantage, and the main bargaining chip that Johnnie To consider. Then the subject should be police and criminals, Galaxy Image's most talked about trump card.
According to Liu Tianwang, it should be the first mainland film, or a co-production. It is not easy to make a police and gangster film in the mainland. You need more or less official permission, otherwise there will be no chance at all.
The last time I rescued my husband, I cooperated with the authorities. In fact, it was a bit of a tribute. I successfully rescued the hostages in less than 24 hours, but I had no choice but to do this.
Not to mention the crackdown on gangsters, there is official leadership behind it, all are adapted from real major cases, all powerful actors are involved, all departments give the green light, and it will be released in one and a half months. Is it a wasted reputation?
This time it should be similar. Of course, with Johnnie To's fame, many people want to film in the mainland. Bona Arts and even China Film are eager to take the initiative to come and cooperate. This is the appearance of To Sir.
The reason why I notified the company was because I was careful. If I could participate in it, could Zhongtian also get a piece of the pie?
I can't control anything else. I can only wait and hope to get a chance to audition. I don't care whether it works or not. Being able to meet your idol is recognition in itself. Once you are familiar with it, you will become familiar with it again. If it doesn't work this time, maybe you can cooperate next time.
The result came faster than expected. I received a call two days later, hoping to meet in Beijing. Du Qifeng wanted to chat in person.
Without saying a word, he flew straight away and rushed to the capital as quickly as possible. Finally, he met Du Sir, whom he had longed for, in the hotel.
"I have read your works, and both Sun Honglei and Liu Tianwang recommended you." Du Qifeng sat across from him. After carefully looking at the young man in front of him, he took out his cigar and gestured: "Try it?"
"Thank you, Sir Du." Ding Hui waved his hand and said, "I'm not very good at smoking cigars."
"Then drink some red wine." Du Qifeng said with a smile: "Relax, don't be too nervous."
"You are my idol. I like every work of Galaxy Image. I was a little excited when we met for the first time."
Ding Hui did not hide anything and expressed sincerely. It is better to tell the truth in front of such a well-known boss.
"Hahaha, thank you." Johnnie To was obviously in a good mood. He personally poured red wine for Ding Hui and said, "Your acting skills are not a big problem, and your temperament is very suitable for playing a villain, especially Huang Mao."
"This is also my first time filming in the Mainland. Many of the rules are unclear, so I wanted to find an actor here. Sun Honglei has confirmed to join, and then he recommended you."
"Liu Tianwang also praised you for your good performance. I have read the script of Saving Mr. Wu. The character I designed this time is different from Hua Zi."
"Here is the script, please read it."
Ding Hui took the script with both hands and was a little excited, indicating that the first impression was not bad and we could talk about it later.
