Chapter 1,300 Acting in true colors?(2/2)
"I think this might be an opportunity." Hong Tai said.
As Hong Jiu's virtuous wife, it can be said that Hong Tai contributed a lot to the success of the Kowloon Film and Television Group.
Hong Jiu frowned and asked, "Opportunity?"
"Yes, if we can get on Li Yi's boat, we need to think about the children anyway." Hong Tai said.
Hong Jiu sighed, of course he understood what Hong Tai meant.
The eldest son will definitely inherit the family business in the future, and their original plan was to hand over the film and television business to their second son Hong Bin.
Now that Hong Bin has entered the entertainment industry as an actor, he is actually familiar with the entertainment industry in advance.
But if you want to make a living in the film and television industry, what better way is there than to cooperate with Li Yi?
You know, even if Li Yi’s movie investment share is ten times higher, people are rushing to get it. It’s not that his movies really have such a high return on investment, but this name has a huge impact on many people.
force.
Every one of Li Yi's movies can be said to be the focus of everyone's attention.
"Do you think it's possible?" Hong Jiu said it was a lie to say he wasn't moved, but he quickly shook his head because it was indeed unlikely.
"Why is it impossible? If we use this as a bargaining chip, it may indeed be impossible, but it won't be a problem to close the relationship and get his commitment to Bin Tsai and the Kowloon Film and Television Group.
Even if we just build a little relationship and let him say a few words, it will be of great benefit to Abin's future development!" Hong Tai said.
"But, I play this role." Hong Jiu admitted that what his wife said made sense, but he still couldn't lose his face.
His identity as Hong Jiu is not a secret, but it does not mean that he is willing to admit that he is really a has-been gangster brother. He also wants to save face!
"Haha, it's just that there is no silver here. If you don't admit it, can you change everything?" Mrs. Hong was very open-minded.
"Moreover, if you play such a role, it will help reverse the public opinion of the outside world."
Hong Jiu frowned. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that these were indeed facts.
His identity as Hong Jiu can be said to be almost universally known on the Internet.
And if it was back then, which media would dare to arrange him like that? This actually explains the problem.
However, he, Hong Jiu, also wants to save face.
If you are willing to look down, as Mrs. Hong said, it may not be a bad thing!
While Hong Jiu was struggling, Li Yi didn't wait because of this.
The main reason is that he really wanted to make this film. He has to admit that the feeling of making an old Hong Kong film is indeed very special.
Li Yi also liked "A Better Tomorrow" very much.
However, at present, only Lin Jinrong has been confirmed to play the role of Song Zijie, and Hong Jiu has been confirmed to play the role of Song Zihao. But for the role of Xiao Ma, Li Yi thought that there should be many people suitable for it, but now it seems that it is really troublesome.
of.
He did meet a few people he thought might be suitable, but they all disappointed him in the end.
He did not limit himself to local actors in Hong Kong Island, but after seeing them, he knew he was wrong.
The role of Little Ma is indeed not something that a mainland actor can play, because he has an authentic Hong Kong city atmosphere, and this kind of atmosphere and feeling are obviously not something that a mainland actor can play.
Some things can be changed, but some things really can't be changed.
Market heroes like Xiao Ma are a major feature of Hong Kong Island. It was actually easy to find suitable candidates for this kind of actors in Hong Kong Island in the past, but in this era, it is really difficult.
The old actors are too old and are not suitable. Young actors are really in short supply here on Hong Kong Island.
It can be said that there has been a big gap.
It's really hard to find suitable actors at Xiao Ma's age.
Therefore, Li Yi could only expand the scope of casting.
At this moment, what Li Yi didn't expect was that Hong Jiu actually responded and accepted the role without any requirements.
