After Cheng Long walked in, everyone was very surprised. Edison Chen quickly stood up. Facing the boss of the film and television industry, he still had to maintain enough respect. Ye Ming was also very surprised. He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Brother Long didn't expect that a busy person like you could actually come here. I really didn't expect it." As the owner, Ye Ming naturally welcomed him. At this time, Cheng Long said with a smile: "After all, I am from Hong Kong City. If something like this happens, I will come over and take a look. I am very optimistic about you." After saying these words to Ye Ming, Cheng Long immediately greeted Xiang Huaqiang: "Xiang Sheng has a good eye. He has chosen such a good book and it will definitely be a box office hit." There are rumors in the outside world that the relationship between Cheng Long and Xiang Huaqiang is not very good. It is said that at Mei Yanfang's birthday party, Cheng Long refused to go to the party and was punished by kneeling down. But looking at the expressions of the two people, it was a myth that existed on the Internet. There was no such thing. Although Xiang Huaqiang and Cheng Long were not very familiar with each other, they were important figures in the circle after all, and they still had some acquaintances. . Xiang Huaqiang also laughed and said: "This book was also snatched from Hua Zai's hands. After reading it, I felt that this should be a good film. Cheng Long, I am very happy that you can support me. , let’s sit down and chat together.” After Cheng Long sat down, he read the script and said to Ye Ming regretfully: "It is indeed a good film. I just heard that guy Zhou Xingxing also came over. How can such an arrogant person like him come to the set? This is a very rare thing. Unfortunately, I have a contract with WMA and cannot accept roles casually, but if it is a guest role without lines, it should not be within the scope of WMA's contract." Now Cheng Long's contract is with William Morris Economics, so when he makes a movie or something, he must act in accordance with the contract. Cheng Long's contract has a lot of freedom. Ordinary actors are naturally not qualified to take on any roles without WMA's consent.
However, at this time, Cheng Longgui was an Asia-Pacific superstar and naturally had some freedoms in the WMA. This right means that Cheng Long cannot take on roles with lines without the company's consent. This is a loophole. If there are no lines, you can make a friendly guest appearance. Ye Ming said with a smile: "This clause is indeed quite embarrassing. If I make a guest appearance, I won't embarrass you, big brother." Cheng Long said confidently: "There is no problem. It is clearly written in the contract. If there is a role with no lines, there is no problem. In Hollywood, you will know when you go there. As long as you say you can get it With a lawyer, no matter how strange the terms are, we can negotiate them. I spent a million on hiring a lawyer to handle this matter just for this clause." There are many things in Hollywood that are different from China. This can be seen from Cheng Long's contract. So Ye Ming nodded at this time and said: "If it doesn't cause you any trouble, Brother Long, then there will be no problem. There is a role of a driver in it, and there are no lines, which is very suitable for you, brother." As a movie star in Hong Kong, Cheng Long actually used his own actions to support Ye Ming's movie. He was also very optimistic about Ye Ming and wanted to help, so he rushed over to support him. Being able to bring Cheng Long in was already a pretty good result, which made Ye Ming feel more confident. Therefore, Cheng Long said happily: "I am very happy that my eldest brother can come to support me. I will definitely work hard to film this movie." Cheng Long said with a smile: "Ye Ming, actually, one of the reasons why I came here this time is to help you, and the other is that under such circumstances, shooting a movie in Hong Kong City is not Such an easy thing is different here from the mainland. As long as you have money and connections in the mainland, there will generally be no problems in making movies. But this is not the case in Hong Kong City. It's your luck that Xiangsheng can help you, but this doesn't mean that you can rest easy when making movies. Therefore, you have to be careful when shooting. " The filming rules for Oh and Evil movies in Hong Kong are indeed somewhat different from those in the Mainland. As for Cheng Long's warning, Andy was also aware of it, but he had a different perspective. Therefore, Hua Zai said with a smile: "You are unfounded about this. Under such a situation, who dares to provoke Xiang Sheng? If it is said that at such a time, you can really feel that Ye Ming If it’s that kind of uplifting emotion, then at this time, the focus should be on supporting us, rather than breaking the bank here.” Cheng Long said with a smile: "I'm not disillusioned. The entertainment industry in Hong Kong City is very different from that in the mainland. Xiang Sheng is also here, so he should know better. Although Hong Kong City has been in the past two years, It's a bit more peaceful, but that doesn't mean that this phenomenon of bullying the crew will disappear. Why I went to Hollywood to make a movie, it actually means out of sight, out of mind." Cheng Long has the support of his brothers from the Cheng family, but in such a situation, he is also unwilling to cause trouble for himself. Zhou Runfa and Zhou Xingxing all want to develop abroad. In fact, this is probably the case. of. Xiang Huaqiang didn't hide his choking. He nodded and said, "This shouldn't be a big problem. However, there are some people in Hong Kong City who will refuse to give me face, such as Lao Yang, Yang Shoucheng, and Mr. Shao Liu from TVB. When these two are doing things, they may not give me face, but that’s not necessarily the case.” Yang Shoucheng is actually a big brother, but now he has cleared his name and landed ashore early. Under such circumstances, it was not impossible for him not to give Xiang Huaqiang face. Xiang Huaqiang is not arrogant enough to dominate the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Ye Ming hesitated and said, "Brother, what do you mean?" Cheng Long said with a smile: "This is still very easy. Aren't you familiar with Han Shanping? On the day of the real power-on ceremony, please come Just be a guest. You know, this is after 1997, no one dares not to give Han Shan some face."
Cheng Long is worthy of being a representative of the National People's Congress. Although he is just an actor, he is still very aware of some of the forces in Hong Kong City at this time. Maybe Xiang Huaqiang can't cover the sky with one hand, but if he invites an official like Han Shanping to come, there shouldn't be any problem. Ye Ming nodded and said, "Well, it's not a big deal. It's not impossible to invite the Third Master over by then." This time, the reporters outside became excited. If Zhou Xingxing could come, it would be very surprising. If Cheng Long could come, it would be even more surprising. At this time, all the reporters were thinking Well, if a newcomer can have a role in this kind of movie, it will be very helpful to his career. Pang Guo said with some envy: "At this time, the luckiest artist is probably Fan Binbin. She filmed the movie "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" and became a first-line actor. At this time, she can be the first to confirm her role in "Infernal Affairs". The actress who played the role will be very beneficial to her development in Hong Kong City in the future. And that Chen Guanxi, if it weren't for my father as a backer, would it be possible to get a role in this movie? ?” Chen Guanxi was the first to come and has not come out yet. Therefore, under such a situation, the reporter knew very well that he must have passed the audition. Fan Binbin and Edison Chen are very lucky to be able to board the Infernal Affairs ship. In the entertainment industry, it is a place where qualifications are important. For example, in a big-budget movie like Infernal Affairs, it is definitely a good place where seniority is mixed. Just like Zhen Zidan in the past, she was also a supporting actor in the New Dragon Gate Inn. However, as she slowly gained experience, she later became a big star. Although it is still a little far away from breaking out of Asia, it is already quite good. At this time, all the reporters were looking at the Infernal Affairs crew, wondering what kind of surprises this crew could bring to everyone. Abao thought for a while and said: "Senior sister, tell me, two big stars, Xingxing and Cheng Long, are here this week, so will the other big star, Fa Ge, come over? You know, speaking of it, Ye Minghe Fa Ge has also worked with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. If it is said that the two people have no friendship, this is unlikely." The leader of the Hong Kong City Film Market has a 10% profit on Tuesday. These are big stars that people look up to. When Abao said this, it also aroused a lot of doubts. This is not impossible. Yan Meng hesitated for a moment before saying: "Who can say this clearly, but even if Brother Fa comes, it may not be today. Brother Fa, it's a miracle just thinking about it. Will he come? ?” If two out of ten people can express their support for a person or a movie on the same day, then at this time, it will definitely cause shock in the entire Hong Kong entertainment circle. Yan Meng found this matter a bit unbelievable even in his imagination. But if it is based on Ye Ming's past performance, then this is not impossible. If 21% really supported a movie at the same time, it would be enough to be written into the history of Hong Kong movies. Is Infernal Affairs really what it claims to be, the salvation of the Hong Kong entertainment industry? These are things for reporters to wait and see. (To be continued)
