Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

In early June, the crew of "Infernal Affairs" was completed.

It has to be said that with the cooperation of Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao, everything went smoothly. The filming location, main actors, and relevant staff in various positions on the crew were all in place as planned.

The filming location was set in Kyoto, and it was Xu Tailang who contacted most of the things in this regard. Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao were responsible for contacting the crew and other main actors. After all, one of them is the director and the other The screenwriter is relatively well-known in the industry. As long as the price is in place, many people are willing to participate.

What's more, this is the second film invested by Chen Feng.

You know, "Crazy Stone" not only helped Chen Feng earn 250 million, but also many small actors in this movie became popular, and several leading actors became famous in half the world. , now the trio of stupid thieves, Lin Zhehua, Guo Tao, Xu Cheng, and even the small character who drives a BMW and plays the role of Xu Cheng's secretary in the drama, have many crews vying for them, and the pay is very high.

Especially Wang Bo, this humble little guy, can be said to have become an instant hit after starring in "Crazy Stone", because he also played a funny role in the drama and left many impressive scenes for people. In addition, he doesn't care much about his own image, he doesn't have any idol baggage, he is hardworking and has a good personality, so he is very popular among directors.

Recently, Wang Bo has been filming in other places with a well-known director in the industry. It is said that it is a relatively literary and artistic drama film, and Wang Bo also directly starred in the film. This is a very big challenge and challenge for him. A breakthrough is, at the same time, a rare opportunity.

As long as the quality of this film is good, Wang Bo will have a firm foothold in the film industry.

In addition to Wang Bo, Guo Tao and Xu Cheng have also taken on new dramas, and they are all relatively large projects, which are much higher than what they have been exposed to before.

The net worth of several actors in the Stupid Thief Trio has also increased several times.

As a director, Ni Hao has now become a popular director in the film and television industry. Before he even has an idea for his next new movie, people are coming to him one after another asking to invest in him.

Haha, it’s really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. When "Crazy Stone" was filmed, there was no such scene.

Fortunately, Ni Hao is not in a hurry. He is carefully thinking about his new script, and there may not be any big moves in the short term.

Moreover, even if he really had any plans, the first person he would look for was

It will still be Chen Feng.

After all, it was Chen Feng who gave him the first step of investment and completely saved his life.

It can be said that "Crazy Stone" has really made many people successful. This is the influence of a good movie.

Therefore, now that Chen Feng is coming to film a second movie, anyone who knows a little bit about the inside story is eager to join the crew of Chen Feng's new movie.

Those actors who are lucky enough to be invited, even if they have other films in hand, will try their best to turn them down to play Chen Feng's "Infernal Affairs". Even if the salary is lower, it doesn't matter. After all, if this film is like "Crazy Stone" "If it is as big a hit, the actor's income will be more than just this salary.

Everyone still has this perspective.

In the end, the cast of "Infernal Affairs" is composed of veteran actors with superb acting skills, both in the leading role and in other important supporting roles.

Among them, there are four people who have won Best Actor and Best Actress!

Chen Hui, Golden Film Award winner!

Fan Weide, Golden Film Award winner!

Huang Zesheng, the Best Actor of the Blue Dragon Award!

Ren Feier, the Best Actress of the Blue Dragon Award!

Such a lineup can be considered to be quite unparalleled.

However, except for Chen Hui's relatively high salary, the salaries of the other actors are not too high, especially Huang Zesheng and Ren Feier. Both of them are from the southern entertainment industry, because the big names there are The environment continues to decline, and their social status has already hit rock bottom. If Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao hadn't contacted them proactively this time, they might not even be able to act.

Moreover, although the Blue Dragon Award was once the highest-level film award in the southern entertainment industry, in recent years it has gradually disappeared due to the decline of the general environment...

In any case, the crew of "Infernal Affairs" finally succeeded in putting together a relatively strong lineup.

…

On June 6, the crew of "Infernal Affairs" held a start-up ceremony at Tailang Entertainment Company.

Because several scenes were shot directly inside Tailang Entertainment's company, the location of the opening ceremony was decided here.

Different from the shabby opening ceremony of "Crazy Stone" last time in the mountain city, this opening ceremony was quite lively. After all, on the same day, there were three best actors and one best actress, as well as many other well-known actors. Such occasions are not uncommon.

In addition, this is a new drama invested by Chen Feng, which makes it even more of a hot topic.

As a result, many news media reporters came that day, and many people came to celebrate and join in the fun. Suddenly, it was a huge crowd.

Looking at this lively scene, Chen Feng felt pretty good. After all, the arrival of so many news media means that a lot of promotional materials will be sent out, which can more or less accumulate some traffic for the movie in advance.

Of course, these are just icing on the cake, the most important thing is to make the movie well first.

Many reporters at the scene came for the movie stars. When the opening ceremony was officially started, there were bursts of camera clicks all around, and many people took the opportunity to capture these precious images.

After the ceremony, many reporters flocked to the stars to interview them. However, because they had signed confidentiality agreements before, no one could say anything about the content of the film. They could only do Tai Chi with these reporters.

Some reporters cleverly stopped Chen Feng and wanted to interview him about his thoughts as an investor. After all, with the experience of "Crazy Stone", everyone was looking forward to his second move.

Chen Feng could only respond vaguely and casually, not wanting to say much. After dealing with it for a while, Chen Feng suddenly caught a glimpse of Xu Tailang walking over and pulled him directly to block the gun.

"If you have any questions, just ask him. He knows the relevant situation better than me. I have something else to do, so I will withdraw first..."

Seeing Chen Feng escaping, Xu Tailang laughed. He was much more familiar with this kind of scene than Chen Feng, and he dismissed some reporters' questions in a few words.

When he saw that the reporters didn't want to disperse, Xu Tailang directly asked several employees to start handing out gifts. Immediately, most people nearby ran to grab the gifts, and Xu Tailang also escaped smoothly.

Haha, reporter, you really can run fast no matter what you do!
