From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

For Liang Jiahui, who is known as the actor with a thousand faces, he has already achieved success.

There are only five actors in Hong Kong who can compare with him, to be exaggerated.

Even if mainland China is included, he can rank among the top ten actors still alive.

When he was young, in order to earn money, he had no scruples when accepting films for a while, including dressing up in women's clothing, doing spoofs, and even acted in a lot of shitty movies.

Even though he is older, the works that Liang Jiahui has taken in recent years have been mixed, both good and bad.

Some people even put him side by side with another Liang Manzhou with the same surname, saying that they "get more bad movies as they get older", fearing that they will not be able to protect themselves in the future.

Of course, if Liang Qianmian and Liang Manzhou are compared together here, it really "exalts" Liang Qianmian.

After all, even if Liang Qianmian takes on a bad movie, it still won't have a bad reputation.

Liang Manzhou is amazing, at least his "international influence" is very good (dog head), and he will not be able to guarantee it in the true sense of the word.

Talking back to Leung Ka-fai, the films he has produced in recent years are, for example, the ridiculously bad "Fengshen Yanyi" by the Xiang family, or Huang Zhixiong's Hong Kong Island series of films.

Do you want to say that Brother Hui really can't see how bad this movie is before going on?

That's really underestimating him.

On the one hand, it has a relationship with the world, and on the other hand, there are actually factors that help Hong Kong Island movies.

After all, it’s a cliché that there are only a few people who can carry the banner of Hong Kong films now.

Of course, the most practical thing is the issue of remuneration.

Just like in "Wushuang", Fa Ge took away a salary of 45 million for only one month of filming. This net worth is not only unique in Hong Kong's current film industry, but also considered to be on the ceiling.

One.

Leung Ka Fai's current salary may not be as good as Fat Brother's, but he is still in the first echelon in the Hong Kong industry.

Of course, it’s not like Leung Ka-fai hasn’t had good films in recent years.

The "Chill" series, in which Ding Zhi and Leung Ka-fai got together, can already be regarded as Leung Ka-fai's most acclaimed works in recent years. It is also considered a series that is rare among Hong Kong films to be well-received.

At that time, what he mentioned to Ding Zhi about cooperating with the "two heroes" was actually most likely just a casual remark.

After all, it has always been normal for film creators to find actors according to their roles, but it is not a little bit more difficult to tailor a script according to the actors.

This script not only needs to be of good quality, but also needs to give Ding Zhi and Liang Jiahui enough space to perform.

Even to some extent, the latter is more important than the former.

However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

Liang Jiahui may have said it casually, but Ding Zhi was very interested.

In fact, Liang Jiahui has always been a teacher and friend to Ding Zhi.

When filming "Cold War 2", although Ding Zhi gave the director a very good sense from the beginning, he even got the opportunity to add scenes because of it.

But in fact, at that time, Ding Zhi was still acting with some real character.

Although he had such a powerful weapon as Dream Space, he was still a little confused about the acting profession at that time.

And in that movie, especially the convenience store rivalry scene that is still talked about by many people, Actor Liang provided Ding Zhi with help that perhaps even he himself didn't know about.

The scene, which lasted only a few minutes, took a full nine hours to shoot.

For Ding Zhi, who was like getting a new toy at that time, the boredom and suffering was undoubtedly equivalent to making him almost lose a layer of his skin.

But it was that scene that allowed Ding Zhi to truly see the depth of an actor who truly stands at the pinnacle of his acting skills.

Under that kind of unprecedented pressure, Ding Zhi finally created the character of "He Guozheng" after crushing his poor acting skills and mixing them together.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that that scene made Ding Zhi officially "nirvana".

Of course, looking back now, those are actually secondary.

The most important thing is that this provided Ding Zhi, who had just established his acting career at that time, with a definite, immediate goal that he could "climb" to.

Therefore, to a certain extent, Ding Zhi actually longs for the opportunity to compete with Liang Jiahui again deep in his heart.

Therefore, Ding Zhi did not use the ancestral bloodline of the pigeon this time, and quickly found a good notebook from the dream space.

…

…

Soon, Ding Zhi dialed Liang Jiahui's WeChat account.

This is due to the fact that Liang Jiahui finally figured out how to use WeChat video communication a while ago. When he contacts Ding Zhi, he often uses video chat.

Not long after, the video was connected.

Liang Jiahui, who had not seen him for a long time, now appeared in the mirror wearing the "fashionable clothes" of the 1980s and 1990s, with a somewhat nondescript long hair.

"Pfft~"

When Ding Zhi saw it for the first time, he couldn't hold it back and sprayed it directly.

There is no way, it is too inconsistent.

Liang Jiahui is now over 60 years old, and he is almost 70 years old. He is running all the way, but he is pretending to be young.

"Brother Hui, what are you filming?"

After Ding Zhi adjusted his smile, he couldn't help but be aroused at all.

When Ding Zhi and Liang Jiahui were chatting a few days ago, Liang Jiahui vaguely mentioned that there would be a movie to be filmed next.

Qing Qing is progressing quite quickly and is now being filmed.

"What a laugh! Can't you see Brother Hui and me getting younger?

At the other end of the video, Liang Jiahui shook his "Duang", "Duang", "Duang" wig "freely".

"Brother Hui, what are you filming this time?"

Ding Zhi asked again.

"In Huang Zhixiong's "King of Thieves", I played the role of a rich man."

Yes, it is another biographical film.

In the past few decades in Hong Kong Island, there have been not many people who can be called the "King of Thieves".

Among them, the three thieves at the end of the century have become one of the most classic images in Hong Kong police movies.

The first one is that in real life, five gold shops were robbed in ten minutes. After committing the gold robbery, Ye Jihuan was the first real thief to confront the Hong Kong police on the street with an Ak.

.

The second one was the wanton killing of police officers. Even Ji Bingxiong, who committed the most murder of police officers in Hong Kong Island at that time, was even issued an international arrest warrant by Hong Kong Island.

The third one is the most legendary "rich man" Zhang Ziqiang.

He kidnapped Li Huanggua's son and successfully demanded one billion Hong Kong dollars, setting a Guinness record.

Even after committing numerous evil deeds, he was still released on the spot by the court due to lack of evidence. In the eyes of ordinary people at that time, he was undoubtedly a legendary thief with "hands and eyes that could reach the sky".

There have been several police and gangster movies based on "Big Rich" Zhang Ziqiang.

Obviously, Huang Zhixiong, who has a reputation as the "King of Bad Movies" in Hong Kong Island, has also set his sights on him.

only……

"No way! Brother Hui, are you playing a rich man?"

Ding Zhi raised his eyebrows. No wonder Liang Jiahui in the video was doing such an awkward "pretending to be young".

"Big Rich Man" Zhang Ziqiang was only 43 years old when he was shot.

So the stage that the movie can express is, at most, around the age of thirty or forty.

Liang Jiahui, who is now over 60 years old, certainly seems particularly inconsistent when he plays the role.

This shows how far the Hong Kong film industry has declined.

There is not a single actor in his thirties or forties who can carry the weight.

Even if there is someone who can do it, this role will not be played by Tony Leung.

However, Ding Zhi did not comment too much on this matter.

After all, Liang Jiahui took all the calls.

After a few casual pleasantries, Liang Jiahui went straight to the topic.

"So Dingzi, you suddenly called me. What happened?"

"I recently came up with a script, and I want Brother Hui to help me control it."

Liang Jiahui also heard the elegant meaning of Xiange and said with some surprise.

"You really created a book about two heroes?"

Ding Zhi shook his head.

"It's not a two-hero movie, it's not a police movie, it's not even a commercial movie. I've already sent the script to your email."

"The name is called "Untouchable"."

"The Intouchables" is a relatively well-known French film in Ding Zhi's previous life.

It tells a story about social class, racial barriers, and even the complex relationship between disabled people and normal people.

Naturally, he had never seen this kind of literary film in his previous life.

However, in the dream space, Ding Zhi experienced the whole process.

It is also one of the scripts that impressed Ding Zhi the most.

This time, Ding Zhi just said hello to Liang Jiahui and asked him to read the book.

After all, the other party is also filming at this time, so naturally there is no way to join the group immediately.

Anyway, there is no rush, the specific plot of the script still needs to be refined and perfected slowly.

After this phone call, Ding Zhi put the matter aside for the first time.

In the following first week, the post-production period of "The Sound of the Wind" that I have been staring at is finally coming to an end.

So I submitted it for review and waited for the issuance of the Star Certificate and the schedule for the Mango Station.

This can be regarded as the only drama to be aired by Jiuyao Media recently.

In this way, Ding Zhi, who thought he had no hope of taking a vacation, actually had some time to relax.

This made Ding Zhi, who was prepared for a hard life, somewhat uncomfortable.

But not long after, a week later, Liang Jiahui responded with a video.

This time Liang Jiahui seemed a little more enthusiastic about chatting.

Apparently he has finished reading the story.

"Ding Zai! Did you really write this script? The style is so different from your previous works!"

"So Brother Hui, how do you feel?"

"Very good!" Liang Jiahui paused, as if he felt that it was not substantial enough.

"I have read this script three times, and I have different insights every time I read it. It is really a great story."

Ding Zhi's version of "Untouchable" naturally has many different things from the original version.

First of all, there are some very obvious hints of "racial alienation" in the original version.

If it were an American remake, this would be no problem at all.

After all, the issue of racial discrimination can be regarded as politically correct in European and American countries and is a "force majeure" factor.

France, in particular, has become a black country in the past two years (dense fog).

To put it in our place, naturally there is no major premise of "racial discrimination" or "racial alienation".

Therefore, the sensitive topic of "black and white matching" will be lost, and its natural conflict will be weakened a lot.

Ding Zhi's settings for the two protagonists have also changed.

One of the protagonists is the same as the original version. He is extremely rich, but he is paralyzed in bed.

The other main character in the original version, who is in good health and whose identity has changed from "black", has also been localized into a "big circle boy" who "smuggled" to Hong Kong Island.

What has been strengthened is the alternative "gap between rich and poor" and unique regional disparities.

She Zaiming, like "Po Hao", was a newly arrived Chaoshan man who smuggled himself from the mainland, but did not have Lai Hao's reckless temperament and "heroic spirit".

The ones who smuggled in with him at a young age were his mother and a brother who was a few years younger than him.

She Zaiming, who was uneducated and lacked the risk-taking temperament of the "lame tycoons" from his hometown, was lucky enough not to be caught and deported, but instead obtained a Hong Kong Island residence permit.

However, he grew up in poverty and discrimination, and he personally explained the truth that people at the bottom will most likely still be at the bottom even if they change to a "golden place".

She Zaiming's mother married an idle local and gave birth to several children.

He has many younger brothers and sisters, and the whole family is supported by his mother's income.

In this situation, Snake Zaiming ended up going to jail for several years because of his wandering on the street.

After he was released from prison, his mother immediately kicked him out of the house.

Unfortunately, he, who had already planned to "return to the right path", did not go back to find his original "brother".

However, he had no money and urgently needed the subsistence allowance provided by the government to come to Hukou.

But in order to get the minimum living allowance, you must have three company interview signatures.

The government will only subsidize you if you have to prove that you really can't survive in society and no one wants you.

Just like this, he came to Ou Dingou's company for an interview.

This person, Dingou, is an extremely wealthy man, but due to a skydiving accident, he was paralyzed. He has no feeling below the neck and can only move around in a high-tech wheelchair.

And She Zaiming, who wanted to fail the interview and leave as soon as possible, did not know what position he was interviewing for.

Who knew, but by accident, I got such a job opportunity - Ou Dingou's personal nurse.

As a "three-no" person with no work experience, no courtesy, and no cultural center, there is only one reason for a successful interview.

That's because Ou Dingou felt that She Zaiming didn't regard him as a disabled person at all.

This leads to the whole story.

There are two protagonists in this story, two classes.

Although the story is set on Hong Kong Island, it doesn't have the "commercial" flavor of Hong Kong Island movies.

There are regional differences, but there is no mention of regional differences.

There are class differences, but there is no explicit mention of class differences.

There were comparisons between healthy people and high-level amputees, but there was no difference in personality.

The wealthy district Dingou just wants others to treat him as a normal person.

This is a story that is not "Hong Kong-flavored" at all.

But it's very humane.

Liang Jiahui fell in love with this story almost after reading it for the first time.

The only thing to consider is.

"Ding Zai! When will the shooting of this drama start?"

This kind of impatience immediately stopped Ding Zhi.

"Brother Hui, if I guess correctly, you probably haven't finished filming "King of Thieves" yet..."

"..."

"Okay, I was too impatient at the moment. Let me tell you, this role must be left to me, it must be left to me, otherwise I will turn against you!"

In the end, Leung Ka-fai settled on the role in a half-joking, half-threatening tone, and did not ask about the remuneration at all.

The subtext here is also very obvious.

It just means a friendly price reduction.

Ding Zhi naturally obtained this level.

But, even though he didn't say anything, there was no way he could treat his big brother badly.
