This Star Wants To Retire

For some movies, the shooting process is tormented.

For some movies, the shooting process is dark and cool.

This is related to the plot content of the movie.

For example, many young male actors with the soul of the second-year-old will feel very happy when they shoot that kind of second-year plot.

The sixth senior brother couldn't resist the temptation to spend one billion a month.

What kind of peerless film is this?

Immediately, immediately, now... just let me shoot and spend money!

At this moment, he has not yet realized how much he has to sacrifice in this film.

He just found it exciting to think about it.

The preparatory work for "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is actually very simple.

Because there are many actors who are in the same line as "Charlotte Annoyance".

As for the Hua family group, they encountered a little setback.

Li Wen, the hero of "Wu Shuang", will play the role himself.

The heroine, Ruan Wen, has also been finalized. The actress is called Zeng Lili. She is from Hong Kong sister, and she has a good temperament and figure.

On Earth, Ruan Wen is played by Zhang Jingchu.

Many audiences are most impressed by her performance in "The Disciple".

This Zeng Lili is quite close to Zhang Jingchu in terms of image and temperament.

However, when it comes to employing people, Luo Mo doesn't like those who have too much dark history and too much pornographic news.

On this point, Zeng Lili is quite good.

Now, the only one in the protagonist group that has not been finalized is the role of [Painter] Li Fusheng.

This actor must completely suppress the Hua family group in terms of aura and other aspects.

After reading the script, Hua Jiaqun immediately thought of a person.

This actor, named Xu Gangsheng, is considered the No. 1 legend in the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island.

Today, he is 58 years old and in a semi-retired state.

In the early years, Xu Gangsheng's acting career was quite bumpy.

It's not that his acting skills are not good or his image is not good, but that it is difficult for many actors to play with him.

He is too tall.

In the era when most male actors were only 1.7 meters or even 1.6 meters, his height of 180+ was a bit too prominent.

Shooting a rivalry scene, in the camera, everyone is at war.

Off camera, Xu Gangsheng is doing the splits.

He wants to spread his legs apart, lower his height, and play with the actor opposite him.

However, not all situations can be solved in this way. Sometimes, you always have to be in the mirror, right?

And in Hong Kong Island, it is definitely lucky to play the male lead as soon as it debuts. At that time, most people climbed up bit by bit.

A male supporting role like Xu Gangsheng is definitely not to be liked by the leading actor.

It wasn't until a TV series needed such a tall, handsome, and powerful actor that he became an instant hit.

That year, Xu Gangsheng became popular all over Hong Kong with this drama.

To be precise, it is popular in Asia.

Not only Hong Kong Island is on fire, but the mainland and Taiwan are also on fire, and it is also extremely popular in Japan and South Korea.

At that time, there was no Korean wave invading, and the Hong Kong wave swept across Asia.

After Xu Gangsheng seized this opportunity, he acted in another hit TV series, and then plunged into the film industry.

He was relatively lucky, and found the right way, so he didn't become a "box office poison" like Fa Ge on the earth.

You must know that Brother Fa, who played the role of "painter" Li Fusheng on earth, had a lot of box office hits in the early years. When many investors heard the word Chow Yun-fat, it can be said that they avoided it and refused to invest money.

It wasn't until he and Leslie Cheung and others made the movie "The True Colors of a Hero" that he completely turned around and won the Best Actor Award at the Academy Award, which was also his first Academy Award for Best Actor.

As for Blue Star's Xu Gangsheng, not only did he get along more smoothly in the film industry than Fa Ge, but he was also the actor who won the most actor titles on Blue Star Hong Kong Island.

In the hearts of the Hua family, he is the best candidate for [Painter] Li Fusheng, or the only candidate!

He would feel regretful to find anyone else to play the role, and it would definitely not be able to achieve the effect that Xu Gangsheng can produce.

After all, if Xu Gang was born to act, once he appeared on the stage, the sense of oppression would be absolutely invincible. As the leader of a criminal gang, it couldn't be more appropriate.

It's a pity that Xu Gangsheng announced his retirement four years ago.

It is not easy to get him back into acting.

Even though the Hua family group had a good personal relationship with him, when they contacted him for the first time, they were flatly rejected.

Xu Gangsheng didn't ask the specific details of this project at all, he just said that he really stopped filming, and it doesn't matter whoever invites him.

Hua Jiaqun also knew that it was not easy to invite him out of the mountain, but if he was invited to go fishing in the sea, he would probably come.

In the past few years, everyone has not seen Xu Gangsheng's active figure on the big screen at all.

On the contrary, many people would meet him by chance when they were fishing in the sea.

As soon as he heard about sea fishing, Xu Gangsheng readily went to the appointment.

But the two have their words first, Hua Jiaqun can no longer mention inviting him to make a movie.

The Hua family group readily agreed, and then brought their wife Liang Xinyi with them on the day of sea fishing.

——I shut up and let my wife talk.jpg.

After all, I am me, and my wife is my wife.

Although they are husband and wife, they are also independent individuals and must respect human rights.

The whole sea fishing process can be said to have a particularly good atmosphere.

Hua Jiaqun himself is also good at sea fishing, even better than Xu Gangsheng.

Xu Gangsheng belongs to the type who loves to cook and play.

In the process of chatting, my Hua family, as the president of the [Hong Kong Island Film Workers Association], chatted about the current embarrassing situation of Hong Kong films, isn't it too much?

In this regard, Xu Gangsheng also expressed concern.

As a veteran, he still hopes that Hong Kong films will develop better and better.

In the process, he also talked about the development of mainland movies.

Not only did it catch up from behind, but it has developed really well in the past few years.

For a movie like "I'm Not the God of Medicine", Xu Gangsheng said that he was shocked after watching it.

This is the best mainland movie he has seen in recent years, bar none.

Hua Jiaqun immediately followed suit: "Then if Luo Mo invites you out with the script of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", will you act or not?"

"That's a little exciting." Xu Gangsheng said.

At this moment, he still doesn't know that Luo Mo wrote Hua Jiaqun's script.

In the end, it was he himself who asked Hua Jiaqun what he planned to make in the next new film.

"The crime theme is called "Wu Shuang". The counterfeit banknotes should be basically restored in the movie. My team is now almost producing US dollars that can be faked." Hua Jiaqun said.

This team is really talented, it's a pity not to go to jail.

Xu Gangsheng was startled when he heard this.

"It took a lot of effort for you to get the permit, right?" he said.

"Forget it, right?" Hua Jiaqun's answer was not very sure.

It's a trivial matter for Luo Mo to make sure to take the certificate.

But it is not easy to cooperate with Luo Mo.

I have to say, because the theme of "Wu Shuang" is full of gimmicks, so Xu Gangsheng is also a little more curious.

Hua Jiaqun told him the story, and he listened patiently.

After hearing it, he thought the name "Wu Shuang" was very interesting.

His personal understanding is this:

The first meaning, of course, is that [painter]'s technique is unparalleled in the world.

The second meaning is that the protagonists each play two roles, but in fact one of them is fictional. There are no two people at all, only one, so, it is - Wushuang!

"Very interesting movie." Xu Gangsheng commented.

"Let me guess which Hong Kong screenwriter wrote it." Xu Gangsheng said.

This movie has a strong Hong Kong taste and high quality, so it must be made by everyone.

In the end, he guessed three, and the Hua family shook their heads.

"It's impossible for you to guess." Hua Jiaqun said directly.

"Oh?" Xu Gangsheng was a little surprised, and said, "Could it be a newcomer?"

"Forget it, right?" Hua Jiaqun felt that Luo Mo was a newcomer in the field of Hong Kong films.

"Then I'd like to know his first and last name." Xu Gangsheng said.

"It's Luo Mo." The Hua family group didn't hold back.

"What!?" Xu Gangsheng's hand holding the fishing rod trembled slightly.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

A movie with such a strong Hong Kong taste was actually made by a man from the capital! ?

Liang Xinyi on the side immediately said: "Brother Sheng, do you want to think about it again?"

The Hua family group spread their hands and said, "Hey, I didn't say that."

- "Integrity".

……..

……..

After the sea fishing was over, everyone left after drinking and eating.

Xu Gangsheng did not directly agree, but said that he would think about it again.

After hearing these words, Hua Jiaqun called Luo Mo excitedly that night.

Hearing that he was so happy, Luo Mo thought a few words: "You are too happy."

In his opinion, the script of "Wu Shuang" will shake Xu Gang's life, but it is definitely not enough to impress Xu Gang.

You know, he is not in a semi-retired state, but in a complete resting state.

Not taking on plays very much and coming back to play are two different things.

It has been more than four years since he quit the film industry.

With his legendary level, the influence must be there.

His return to acting will definitely cause a terrible sensation.

After all, he was one of the top men in Asia back then.

But because of this, he will be more picky about the script.

"Wu Shuang" is not bad, but the reason why [painter] Li Fusheng was played by Xu Gangsheng is the best, because this role seems to be tailor-made for him.

Just like on the earth, as long as Fa Ge puts on the coat, the feeling will come immediately.

It will be very easy for Xu Gangsheng to act in this movie.

But there won't be any breakthroughs.

It doesn't matter if you play a show before the end of the movie, but now it's a bit inappropriate.

Luo Mo felt that the only gain of the Hua family group this time was that it could be seen that Xu Gangsheng did not decide not to give up acting for the rest of his life.

After more than four years of rest, he may also be a little bit itchy.

"Then, everything is simple."

"In his heart, just add a little more weight."

Luo Mo asked the Hua family group to match up, and he wanted to send another script to Xu Gangsheng.

Yes, it is also starring Fa Ge - "Let the Bullets Fly"!

At the beginning, Jiang Wen asked Chow Yun-fat to act, and it took a little effort.

It's just that Luo Mo hasn't finished writing the script yet.

Write it down and send it.

"Brother Sheng probably wouldn't refuse to take a look at my script, would he?"

——"Confidence".

At this moment, Luo Mo received a WeChat message.

He opened it and saw that it was from Ningdan.

"Is it in Xicheng?" Ningdan asked.

"Yes." Luo Mo replied.

Don't forget, this large flat in Luo Moxi City was bought from Ning Dan, and she lives above Luo Mo Building herself.

"Come to drink? With Xu Chujing." Ningdan said.

As Luo Mo's career got better and better, and people became busier and busier, the pair of former drinking friends drank less and less.

"Sister Jing flew to the capital this afternoon, is there something wrong?" Luo Mo asked.

Ever since he and Xu Chujing were together, Ningdan rarely invited him upstairs.

His intuition told him that something must have happened.

"That's right." Ning Dan said.

"Okay." Luo Mo agreed, and then sent Xu Chujing a WeChat message, telling her that Ningdan had something to look for him.

Then, he took off his pajamas, changed his clothes casually, put on a pair of slippers that could be worn outside, and took the elevator upstairs.

--"convenient".

After ringing the doorbell, Ningdan, who was wearing home clothes, opened the door.

Behind her is the "hybrid" of a husky and a corgi named "Follow me".

- Husky.

I have to say that the genes of these two breeds of dogs are quite strong...

The dog saw Luo Mo, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and immediately wagged its tail excitedly, and raised its short legs, trying to grab Luo Mo.

After Luo Mo greeted it, he looked at Ningdan.

Sister Run was wearing simple home clothes, the kind of loose fit, but it still couldn't conceal her proud figure.

The plump lips were slightly raised at this moment, with a smile on his face.

But between the eyebrows and eyes, a little tiredness can be seen.

"Something happened." Luo Mo said in his heart.

"The wine has sobered up." Ning Dan said to Luo Mo.

"Okay." Luo Mo smiled.

In fact, he doesn't know how to taste wine, he just drinks blindly.

When he was slightly tipsy, Luo Mo asked about Ningdan's recent situation.

There was a slight haze in Ningdan's beautiful eyes.

She raised her eyelids, glanced at Luo Mo, leaned back halfway on the chair, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold parties in the future."

"Huh?" Luo Mo frowned slightly.

With his help, didn't the ratings and network data of some large festivals directed by Ning Dan hit new highs?

This career-minded woman was ambitious before and even wanted to become the first variety show director in history to direct the Spring Festival Gala.

You know, looking at the entire Blue Star Huaxia, no one who was a variety show director has ever directed the Spring Festival Gala.

"What's going on, tell me in detail." Luo Mo said.

Ning Dan was actually debating whether to tell Luo Mo these things.

She finally decided to say that it was also because she was able to step up to the present in the party step by step. Luo Mo contributed a lot, and his efforts were in it.

Although what sister run said was not very straightforward, Luo Mo still roughly understood what was going on.

In the central station, the new director in charge of the party has a wrong idea for Ning Dan.

This woman is an unmarriageist, and she seems to be from the DINK family. In the eyes of many high-ranking people, isn't this the most suitable type of lover?

She doesn't want to get married, and she won't threaten her with her son.

——It’s so moist!

Of course, the director put on the attitude of a suitor on the surface, and said that the relationship between his husband and wife has already broken down and he is already preparing for divorce.

At this New Year's Eve party, Ning Dan also participated in the competition for chief director.

The final result, of course, was not selected.

Since you take your career so seriously, then I will threaten you with it.

The big snake wants to hit seven inches.

Right, beauty snake.

If you want to hit me, obediently spit snake letters to me.

Then, he made a big cake for Ningdan, saying that even in the Spring Festival Gala, his opinion is extremely important in the stage.

Woman, can't this take you down?

After Ningdan finished speaking, he shook the goblet in his hand, and then drank the red wine inside.

She was in a bad mood.

This is not the first time she has experienced something similar.

She felt that in this group of competitors, she was the most capable one.

She should be the one based on her ability, but someone always asks her to pay more.

During the whole process, Luo Mo kept pawing the dog without saying a word.

After a while, he looked up at her, then glanced at the time on the phone, and said:

"I'll go to the balcony and make a phone call."

Seeing him get up, Ning Dan opened her full lips to ask something, but was interrupted by Luo Mo.

And his words made Ningdan open his mouth wide.

"He's just the director, but luckily he's not the director."

"We're lucky."
