Liu Weiqiang gave Zeng Zhiwei the phone number of Yuliang's office, so Yuliang didn't receive a call from Zeng Zhiwei until he went to work the next morning.
Regarding Zeng Zhiwei's call, I was quite surprised.
Liu Weiqiang was quite confused after drinking the night before, so he forgot to ventilate with Yuli first.
Yuliang heard that Zeng Zhiwei said that Liu Weiqiang gave the number, and subconsciously thought that Liu Weiqiang had some opinions on the casting, which was why he did this.
He had some opinions about Liu Weiqiang in his heart, but Zeng Zhiwei still had to deal with it.
"Mr. Zeng, I wonder why you called this time about something?"
Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, I heard that Wei Qiang said that your company is going to make a movie, so I wanted to ask if there is any possibility for us to cooperate."
Yuliang raised his eyebrows. Zeng Zhiwei's Mandarin was not very good and it sounded a bit difficult, but he still understood what Zeng Zhiwei meant.
"How does Mr. Zeng want to cooperate?"
"It's okay. Now that Xiangjiang has returned, we should cooperate vigorously. Since you want to film, of course we have the money to provide money and people to hire. If you need anything, Mr. Yu, just ask me, as long as I can help.
I will definitely not refuse.”
Yuliang coughed lightly: "Thank you for Mr. Zeng's kindness. I don't need to trouble you with this movie for the time being. But it doesn't matter. When our company has a chance to make the next movie, we will cooperate again. Mr. Zeng is one of the best actors in Hong Kong. If there is a suitable
role, we also hope to invite you to help us."
"Haha, Mr. Yu, don't refuse in a hurry. When you make a movie, you definitely need actors. Even if you don't need me, I can recommend a few actors to you. Xiangjiang is not like mainland China. The place here is small, and everyone in the film and television industry
We all know each other. I heard that you also invited Chao Wei, who is very discerning, but Chao Wei has been busy with dramas recently, so it is not certain whether he can act in your drama."
On the other end of the phone, Yu Liang smiled. This Zeng Zhiwei was so soft that he wanted to be tough. He wanted to tell Yu Li that if they didn't give them any help in this drama, he would
It would make Tony Leung Chiu-wai not come to play "Infernal Affairs".
Yiliang put his index and middle fingers together and tapped the table gently. He wanted to hang up Zeng Zhiwei's call directly, but he couldn't do it impulsively. After all, Zeng Zhiwei was quite powerful in Hong Kong.
No matter what, you still have to be harmonious to make money. Don't let this matter hinder the filming of "Infernal Affairs" later, and the gain outweighs the loss.
After thinking for a while, Yu Liang said with a smile: "Mr. Zeng, there are still some roles that are really undecided. Let's do this. You can recommend some actors. It's best to have them of all types. Let's see if they can be used here.
If it works, then we will have a happy cooperation. If it doesn’t work, we can only look for opportunities next time.”
He said this because he also wanted to block Zeng Zhiwei, and it didn't matter if he left some less important marginal roles to them.
After hearing Yu Liang relent, Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Mr. Yu. I will prepare the list and send it to you later."
"Ok, no problem."
…
Liu Weiqiang was still sleeping soundly on the bed when the hotel's landline suddenly rang. He reached out to answer it in a daze, and Yuliang's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Director Liu, are you awake?"
Hearing that it was a margin, Liu Weiqiang sat up sideways, rubbed his eyes and said with a smile: "I drank too much from you last night. I went back to the room and slept until now. I have to say, Mr. Qian is worthy of having been on the battlefield.
, this drinker is really good."
Yu Li was not in the mood to talk to him about the drinking last night, so he got straight to the point, "Director Liu, do you have any opinions on the casting?"
"Ah?" Liu Weiqiang scratched his head and said confusedly: "Mr. Yu, what do you mean by this? Haven't I always listened to you on this matter of casting?"
"Since you have no objection, why did you ask Zeng Zhiwei to come to me again?"
"Oh, that's it." Liu Weiqiang laughed, "He doesn't know where he found out about the movie. Last night I got a call from him when I went back to my room. He insisted on talking to you, so I sent him to your office.
I gave him the phone number, but I forgot to tell you in advance."
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple. I'm still wondering how he knew about the movie. So far, I have only told three people in Hong Kong, Andy Lau, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, and Simon Yam. It should be one of them who revealed the news.
"
"It's Liang Chaowei." Yuliang said decisively.
Liu Weiqiang nodded: "It's possible that he has a very good relationship with Tony Leung. This Tony Leung is real. I told him not to reveal it yet, but he told Zeng Zhiwei."
Yu Liang sighed, "Let's go ahead and get ready. I promised Zeng Zhiwei to let him submit a list of actors. Then you can take a look and see if there are some less important roles suitable for one of them."
Some people, throw one or two to them."
"OK, no problem."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Weiqiang walked to the window and opened the curtains. He looked at Jinling City outside the window and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
He knew Tsang Chi-wei better than Yu Liang and knew that it was impossible for one or two small roles to satisfy Tsang Chi-wei.
What Liu Weiqiang regrets most now is that when he was discussing the script with Tony Leung, he told him that he thought about asking Eric Tsang to play Han Chen. If Tony Leung had told Tsang Chiwei about this, he would have
I'm worried that Eric Tsang will always cling to the role of Han Chen.
Zeng Zhiwei is not stupid. Everyone knows about the situation of Deep Space Company. Now that Deep Space is going to make a cross-strait cooperation movie, no matter how he thinks about it, he will certainly want to participate.
Liu Weiqiang himself had no problem with letting Tsang Chi-wei play Han Chen. Although he thought that Qian Yongfu was more suitable for this role than Tsang Chi-wei, their reputations were very different. After all, Tsang Chi-wei was a first-line popular actor.
It has the ability to drive box office sales.
However, Shen Kong didn't recognize it. After he handed over Zeng Zhiwei's name before, he saw Shen Kong's attitude clearly.
If Zeng Zhiwei insists on getting involved this time, it will definitely be another troublesome matter.
"Damn it, can't it be smoother?"
Liu Weiqiang cursed in the air, then ran to the bathroom to wash up. He finally made a trip to Jinling. Today he was going to Jinyi to talk to Yu Dong about the script of "Infernal Affairs".
…
When he arrived at Yu Dong's office, Zhang Yimou was already there.
Seeing Liu Weiqiang coming, Yu Dong smiled and waved to him: "Director Liu, you are here just in time. Director Zhang and I are talking about "Golden Dreamland". Please give me some advice."
