From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

Of course, although Ding Zhi had just made an agreement with his manager Liang Qiong not long ago to let the bullets fly for a while and suspend all business before the broadcast of the sneak peek and the release of Cold War 2, even the olive branch thrown by the Goose Factory Department

Let them all dry first.

But Liang Jiahui's invitation was completely different. He came over without much hesitation.

It's not that he favors one over the other, but one is related to interests and the other is friendship.

In the mainland circle, with the release of "Eight Hundred" and the early promotion of "Peeping", Ding Zhi has become a bit nervous, so the Goose Factory Department has come up with the idea of ​​​​pulling him onboard.

As for Liang Jiahui, who lives in Hong Kong and is an old-school artist who is not connected with the domestic entertainment industry, in his view, Ding Zhi is still the same young man who was not famous half a year ago, but has great potential and his temperament.

To be honest, many Hong Kong artists have had a natural sense of superiority towards mainland artists for more than ten years.

More than ten years later, with the decline of the Hong Kong circle, Hong Kong capital also took advantage of the situation and invested heavily in the mainland. The new generation in the circle was basically out of touch. At this time, many Hong Kong artists mostly had a secret inferiority complex.

And he showed an arrogant attitude.

Later, the domestic entertainment market became more and more developed, but its size was not comparable to that of a small area in Hong Kong Island. Many artists recognized the situation and eagerly tried to squeeze in. There were very few who succeeded, and even more so.

Most of them fail.

How many young talents emerge in domestic entertainment every year? They are all very involved. Those new generations basically come to die one by one. No one in the future dares to come to the mainland to test the waters. There is no way to test the waters in the mainland. The ones who are a little more advanced are probably

The one who sang the cover of "Wild Wolf Disco", but he is now over 30 years old, so it's a bit reluctant to call him a new generation.

And Leung Ka-fai is different from many Hong Kong artists.

His debut films were "The Man behind the Curtain" and "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" which were filmed in mainland China in 1983. He started off as a wild star, and with his talent as a newcomer, he directly won the title of Best Actor at the 3rd Academy Awards.

You must know that the Academy Awards at that time were still very exciting, and they were not reduced to regional awards that are now played by one's own family.

But because this film was shot in the Mainland, and the Wanwan Cultural Bureau at that time had a rule that all actors who had filmed movies in the Mainland would be banned.

The Bay Market is one of the most important markets in the Hong Kong film industry. This ban directly caused Liang Jiahui, who was at the peak of his career at the beginning, to almost fall into disgrace. In the end, he was even reduced to running a street vendor to make ends meet.

It is said that some people who were optimistic about Liang Jiahui went to plead for mercy, and Wanwan also relented, saying that as long as Liang Jiahui could write a "letter of repentance" and draw a boundary with the mainland, there would be room for negotiation.

However, he was rejected by the street vendor Liang Jiahui. This move caused him to be hidden in the ice for two or three years.

How many three years can an actor last? Besides, he was in the Hong Kong entertainment circle with bright stars at that time. This move completely put him into an uncertain future, but he still did it.

It can be said that Liang Jiahui is one of the few artists who has a consistent attitude towards the mainland, but he rarely flaunts himself as a patriotic artist.

Perhaps in Liang Jiahui's view, this is something that should be taken for granted and is nothing to brag about.

Therefore, it seems reasonable to say that he is so concerned about Ding Zhi. He has no sectarian opinions or social circles. He simply wants to support the younger generations who like him.

Hong Kong Island International Airport.

Ding Zhi came here again after an absence of more than half a year.

Unlike the last time when Xiaopang and I went to the crew hotel by ourselves carrying large bags and small bags, this time there was someone to pick us up at the airport, and the treatment was completely different.

A skinny young man held up a card with the four characters "Mr. Ding Zhi" written on it in big letters, looking at his watch and looking toward the exit.

Suddenly he saw Ding Zhi and waved to him quickly.

"Thunder Monkey! Thunder Monkey! Oh, it's spicy... it's spicy! Ding Sheng!"

Seeing Ding Zhi coming, the skinny young man holding a half-baked Hong Kong Pu, struggled to straighten his tongue and say hello to Ding Zhi, which made the chubby boy next to him almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Hey! That's it! Speak in Cantonese. I'm from southern Cantonese and I can understand you."

Ding Zhi spoke fluent Cantonese, which made the skinny young man breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ding Sheng! I'm here to pick you up. My name is Li Li. Ding Sheng, just call me Ali."

Under Ali's guidance, Ding Zhi and Ding Zhi first went to the hotel to settle down, and then met the friend Liang Jiahui mentioned in the afternoon.

That friend's name is Lin Chaoxian, a director who may not be heard of in the mainland, but is quite famous in Hong Kong Island.

He won the Academy Award for Best Director before the millennium. In the past ten years, he has also made many action movies and police movies, most of which were well-received and blockbusters. He is considered to be very familiar with this genre of movies.

That kind of director.

But when Ding Zhi walked into the crew hotel, he unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.

Peng Yuyan has a certain average face.

"Hi! Ding Zhi!"

Peng Yuyan was the first to see Ding Zhi and said hello cheerfully.

The two met while filming "Cold War 2". Although their relationship is not as close as that of Liang Jiahui, it is still pretty good.

After all, people who have reached this position actually do not have too bad EQ and IQ.

"You're coming too, eh!"

Peng Yuyan raised his eyebrows and pointed inside with his thumb.

"yes!"

"What a coincidence! Me too!"

Peng Yuyan grinned, showing his row of big white teeth.

Oh haha!

Ding Zhi was a little surprised. Peng Yuyan also came to audition for this drama?

He looked at Peng Yuyan's body with a somewhat calm expression. The tendons on his body were not weaker than his own, and he seemed much stronger than half a year ago.

"As far as I know, the role of Cheng Hui has been initially decided to be Brother Jiahui, so you are also here to audition for the role of Lin Siqi?"

Peng Yuyan was also observing Ding Zhi secretly, and suddenly said something.

Too?

Ding Zhi instantly understood that Peng Yuyan, an acquaintance of his, was really in conflict with him!

Both of them came to audition for the role named Lin Siqi!

"Yes! It seems that we have to compete on the same stage this time!"

Ding Zhi suddenly smiled.

Peng Yuyan also responded with a somewhat relaxed smile, "Then let's each rely on our own abilities! Hahaha!"

It’s all up to you!

Ding Zhi naturally understood that he was probably very worried.

I guess Liang Jiahui didn't even know about this when he invited me to Hong Kong Island, otherwise he wouldn't have called me at all.

The last time Ding Zhi came to Hong Kong Island to shoot "Cold War 2", although his performance was pretty good, the movie had not been released at all, and the influence radiated from the release of "Eight Hundred" did not have the same impact as in his home port.

The film is so deep, in other words, he is a brand new person in Hong Kong Island.

And what about Peng Yuyan?

Even though he also played a supporting role in "Cold War 2", there is a difference between a supporting role and a supporting role. He plays an important character that connects the two "Cold War" films.

Moreover, it is an open secret that Peng Yuyan has hooked up with Chen Guofu, a gold medal producer in Hong Kong Island, and Ding Zhi also knows it. Otherwise, why would this young man from the Bay have such good resources in Hong Kong Island?

Moreover, he is also vaguely known as the number one niche actor in Bay Area today. In terms of market and box office appeal, he is much stronger than Ding Zhi.

Taking into account various factors, Ding Zhi and Peng Yuyan were both competing for the same role. If they were to take the position of Lin Chaoxian, any fool would know what he would choose.
