Chapter 108: Interview

"Ka! It's passed! Get ready for the next one!"

On a certain set, following the director's order, lighting, sound recording, and photography began to prepare for the transition in an orderly manner.

After the director, who was wearing a peaked cap and black-rimmed glasses, finished shouting, he turned around and looked at the stage manager next to him with some dissatisfaction.

"Isn't Tiaopujie here yet?"

The stage manager next to him was dialing the phone anxiously, sweating slightly on his forehead.

"Director, I called Liu Zhan several times, but he didn't get through!"

Obviously this answer added fuel to the angry director, who raised his tone.

"If you can't get through, keep calling! Call until someone answers! When he gets the call, tell him that if he doesn't come before 11 o'clock in the morning, then he won't call!"

The assistant stage manager on the side could only nod his head repeatedly, and at this time, the screen of the mobile phone in his hand also lit up, "It's cleared!"

After a while, the stage manager ran back with a grimace on his face.

"What did he say? Is he coming yet?"

"It wasn't him who answered the phone, it was his agent who answered the phone. He..."

"Why are you hesitating? Say something quickly! Are you drunk again? Or did you go to Lan Kwai Fong again last night?"

Director Zheng Rui glared, and the stage manager quickly sped up his speech.

"Liu Zhan had a car accident last night and now has a broken leg. He is still in the hospital. His agent said that Liu Zhan will recover from his injuries as soon as possible and then return to the set."

The whole crew is waiting for him to recover from his injury and return to the crew?

He was about to film his scene, so why did he do this?

Zheng Rui almost lost his breath and kicked over the director's chair under his feet, "I threw it away from Lou Lou!"

This noise immediately frightened everyone on the set to stop what they were doing, but because they didn't hear the conversation clearly, they all looked at the furious director in confusion.

The assistant director on the side asked cautiously, "Director, are you still filming the next scene?"

"Shoot? The characters you want to shoot are all in the hospital and covered with white cloths. Why don't you shoot something? Throw it away!"

Zheng Rui kicked the poor chair again and took off the microphone from his collar, obviously still angry.

An actor not far away was also attracted by this unexpected situation and came over.

It turned out to be Ding Zhi's old acquaintance, Ren Dahua.

"Come on, director, what happened?"

When Zheng Rui saw Ren Dahua coming, he obviously calmed down his temper and forced out a smile, "Brother Hua, I'm sorry, something happened."

"Um?"

Ren Dahua's eyes turned to the assistant director next to him. The assistant director understood and quickly came forward to explain.

"Liu Zhan got into a car accident and went to the hospital. He couldn't shoot the next scenes."

When Ren Dahua heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

The film currently being filmed is tentatively titled "The Greedy Wolf", and Simon Yam is not actually the protagonist in this film.

The real protagonists are Wu Jin from Mainland China and Thai action star Tony Jaa, who can be regarded as decent double protagonists.

Since the two protagonists are both action stars, it is obvious that the core of this drama is actually an action film.

As for the villain, the ordinary-looking Louis Koo plays the role of the big boss behind the scenes.

But in fact, it is impossible for the ordinary-looking Louis Koo to be punched and kicked by two martial arts superstars, right?

Therefore, the villain must also have a "fighting officer" in front of him.

It is said that Hong Kong Island is losing its stars, and Liu Zhan is the tallest among the new generation.

His surname is Liu, the same Liu from Hong Kong Island's Liu Jialiang. He has a teacher, he has a decent appearance, and he is good at acting. Although he is not a big hit, and many people can't even remember his name, at least he has good looks.

The face can still be considered familiar to the audience.

But now that this person is gone, it is difficult to find a suitable replacement in a short time.

You know, if an action movie wants to look good, it must be "balanced."

There must be ups and downs, relaxation, punches and kicks, you come and I go, it will look good. It's just good people suppressing bad people and fighting, what's the point?

...

...

"This is the situation. Do you have any suggestions?"

Zheng Rui looked around at everyone present with a serious face.

Although it is not common for an actor to have an accident on set and need to be replaced, Zheng Rui quickly adjusted his mentality after being in the industry for so many years.

The movie still has to be filmed, and Liu Zhan cannot wait for him to return from injury. So the current situation is obvious. There are only two options. The first is to change the actor.

The second is to change the scenes and compress and trim the scenes that originally belonged to Liu Zhan as much as possible.

But both options have difficulties.

In the case of the former, it will be difficult to find a replacement.

The literary drama is a failure, but the martial arts drama is the top priority. The climax of the drama will be the villain warden played by Liu Zhan fighting against Wu Jin and Tony Jaa alone. If the replacement can't suppress Wu Jin,

Jin and Tony Jaa, even if they can rely on editing to show their "overwhelming advantage", the picture will still become fragmented and unsmooth.

If it's the latter, it's even more difficult.

By weakening the warden's role, the literary drama will inevitably increase. Zheng Rui can ensure that the scenes filmed are still at the standard. However, with the two action superstars in hand, the literary drama will be strengthened, but a hearty fight scene will be missing.

, isn’t that putting the cart before the horse?

"How about contacting An Zhijie?"

A small-eyed person with an unattractive appearance suddenly spoke.

This is action director Li Zhongzhi, who was born in a family class and is now one of the most famous action directors in the Mesozoic era of Hong Kong Island.

"It's no use. I contacted him before the filming of this movie started. He happened to have a movie to start shooting, but it was blocked. He couldn't come."

Zheng Rui shook his head first.

Wu Jin was standing by the old man, obviously he didn't have any good suggestions.

As for Tony Jia, he was playing with his mobile phone a little boredly. He had no choice but to speak the language.

"Zhen bullet?"

"Impossible, how could he play a supporting role? It's not like you don't know..."

The surroundings suddenly erupted in whispers and discussions.

Wu Jin on the side glanced at the staff member who proposed the screening bullet. He didn't reply and just picked his nose.

"I do have a candidate!"

Ren Dahua, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

Everyone fell silent.

Although Simon Yam has not played many leading roles in recent years, his status in the film industry is still very high. When he saw him speaking out, everyone looked over to see what he had to say.

"Last half of last year, I took a role. There was a young boy named Ding Zhi who played opposite me. He was very good! I think he might be suitable for this role."

"By the way, I have fought against that young man. His skills are quite strong, and his body is also strong!"

Lu Huiguang on the side suddenly spoke up when he heard Ren Dahua mention Ding Zhi's name.

In "Pursuit", he played the bald man who was maimed by Ding Zhisheng at the beginning. Coincidentally, he also played a supporting role in "The Greedy Wolf".

The words of Ren Dahua and Lu Huiguang caused another discussion.

"Ding Zhi?"

"Is he the leading actor in the mainland movie "Peeping" a while ago?"

"Could it be that they have the same name? It seems that the handsome girl in my family is chasing stars. She seems to have debuted in some kind of talent show. She shouldn't be the same person."

They are all in the industry, and soon some people thought that the male protagonist of "Peeping", which has become popular in mainland China recently, also has this name.

"By the way, he is indeed the Ding Zhi who became popular some time ago."

Ren Dahua added.

"Ding Zhi?"

Action director Li Zhongzhi murmured, seeming to be somewhat familiar with the name.

Director Zheng Rui noticed something strange about him and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"I seem to have heard Wei Liang mention him before, saying that he is very good at acting."

The "Weiliang" here naturally refers to Huang Weiliang, the action director of "Manhunt".

Li Zhongzhi and Huang Weiliang both came from married families, and Huang Weiliang even served as Li Zhongzhi's assistant for a while. The two have a close relationship.
