Donnie Yen has been flying to Hong Kong with Kang Jian for nearly half a year. In the past six months, Donnie Yen has been playing supporting roles in various crews of DreamWorks and has never played any important roles.
This kind of cold reception really made Donnie Yen feel disheartened. Several times Donnie Yen was so tired on the crew that he had Cute thought of leaving Hong Kong after he returned to his house to rent.
However, although Donnie Yen has a bad temper and often offends people when speaking, and has no friends at DreamWorks, his resilience is pretty good.
For half a year, Donnie Yen has been playing a supporting role, but he insisted on it. Now he can occasionally say a few lines.
Now Donnie Yen is in the crew of "Happy Ghost 3 Happy Ghosts Crashing Ghosts". The script was written by Kang Jianfei, Gao Zhisen and Yu In-tae. After filming, the scene is finished.
Hu Juncai was working as a supervisor in Shaolin Temple at this time, so naturally he could not continue to play the role of Happy Ghost.
The starring role was replaced by Hu Juncai to Chen You, Li Lizhen and Xie Ning continued to play, while the remaining girls were newcomers to the auditions.
Donnie Yen came over with a few props and passed by the camera lens, he couldn't help but look at Gao Zhisen who was telling the actor's play.
For Donnie Yen, a supporting actor and crew member, a director like Gao Zhisen who can direct independently is already a big shot.
However, Gao Zhisen is too young, and is less than 25 years old now. Not only does Donnie Yen feel dissatisfied, but many people in the crew think that Gao Zhisen is lucky and has received the support of Mr. Kang.
Danny, be quicker!A man in his forties yelled at Donnie Yen.
This person is the director of the venue in "Happy Ghost 3". It is not clear what his name is Donnie Yen is now. He only knows that his nickname is Jiu Ge, and he is an old acquaintance Kang Jianfei used to be on Shaw Brothers set.
When Donnie Yen heard the urging of Brother Jiu, he speeded up and moved the props over. After putting them down, he stood there without saying a word and listened to the next instructions.
When Brother Jiu saw Donnie Yen's face that someone else owed him hundreds of dollars, he felt unhappy.
If it weren't for him, he would have to scold Donnie Yen a few words, but today he smiled and patted Donnie Yen on the shoulder and said: Danny, do you know Brother Fei?
Donnie Yen reacted for two seconds before he realized that Brother Jiu said was Kang Jianfei. With Brother Jiu's age, he was enough for Kang Jianfei's father, but he even flattered and called Brother Fei. He was shameless.
There is a popular saying in Oriental DreamWorks, that is, the elderly who had dealt with Kang Jianfei on Shaw Brothers' set are qualified to be called Kang Jianfei.
At first, only Chen Bingkun shouted like this, but now it has gradually spread to the second batch of employees entering DreamWorks. Whether he can call Fei Ge has become a manifestation of his qualifications.
Donnie Yen was quite disdainful of people like Jiu Ge, but after being hung up for half a year, his temper was suppressed a lot and nodded: I met Mr. Kang in Beijing.
When Brother Jiu heard this, he had a better attitude towards Donnie Yen and said with a hug: You guy is still tight enough. You haven’t said it for half a year, you have ambition!
Donnie Yen couldn't figure out what he was selling in the gourd, and said expressionlessly: Brother Jiu, what else should I do?
Brother Jiu stuffed it to Donnie Yen, took out a lighter to help him light it, and said: What else do you do?Go back to the company quickly, Miss Pan called you just now!
Brother Jiu was scolding Donnie Yen for being lucky, but the smile on his face became even worse, and he said: Which other Miss Pan, of course, is Vice President Pan.Danny, if you become rich in the future, don’t forget Brother Jiu.
Donnie Yen's heart beat a few times, subconsciously feeling that his chance had come.
He smiled very rarely and spoke affectionately to Brother Jiu: I will definitely not forget that Brother Jiu takes care of me like this.Brother Jiu, do you know what Miss Pan is asking me for?
Brother Jiu pointed out: Haven’t your mind turned around yet?Although Ms. Pan is the vice president of film and television, Zeng Zhiwei has always been in charge of the production department. She is usually only responsible for the artist department.Now Ms. Pan is looking for you, there are only two possibilities: one is to change you to a formal actor contract, and the other is to have an important role for you to play.
That's true!
Donnie Yen pressed the excitement in his heart, clenched his hands into fists and loosened them and tightened them.
Brother Jiu continued: And Ah, for an extra-professional actor like you, Ms. Pan doesn’t need to ask about the contract for changing actors himself.She is looking for you now, most of the time she is filming for you. Even if she is not the male lead, she is at least the second male lead.
Thank you Brother Jiu for your advice.Donnie Yen thanked him convincingly this time.
Brother Jiu patted Donnie Yen on the shoulder and said with a smile: Go quickly, Miss Pan is waiting for you in the company.
OK, I'll go right away, goodbye to Brother Jiu!
As Donnie Yen said that, he ran outside, took a taxi and returned to DreamWorks quickly, and ran to Yang Yun, the secretary of Pan Yingzi of the Artist Department, in a few steps, saying: Hello, I am Donnie Yen.
Yang Yun had a good impression of Donnie Yen, who looked handsome, and said with a smile: Go in, Miss Pan and the others are inside.
Donnie Yen smiled gratefully at her, breathed a sigh of relief before starting to knock on the door, and soon heard the sound of inviting in from inside.
Donnie Yen pushed the door open and found that in addition to Pan Yingzi, there were also Eric Tsang and Chen Xunqi.
When the three of them saw Donnie Yen come in, they immediately stopped discussing. Pan Yingzi said: Please sit down.
Thanks!No matter how big a temper Donnie Yen has, he had to lower his figure and carefully find a chair to sit down like a young wife.
Tsang pointed at Donnie Yen and asked: Is he the male lead chosen by Mr. Kang?
Pan Yingzi nodded and smiled: His name is Donnie Yen, he is a Chinese American and knows kung fu.When Mr. Kang met Danny in Beijing, he felt that he was in good condition and deserved great training.However, this young man had never filmed a movie before and had a very impetuous personality, so he threw it down and rubbed it for half a year. He wanted to hone his acting skills, and he also wanted to get rid of his impetuousness.
When Donnie Yen heard this, his resentment towards Kang Jianfei instantly dissipated, and instead he was grateful and respect.
Pan Yingzi has no other skills. In terms of film and television production ability, she is much inferior to Eric Tsang and Chen Xunqi.However, when dealing with people, Pan Yingzi is very good at judging people's hearts.
What Pan Yingzi said just now was deliberately said, which can not only increase employees' gratitude and recognition for the boss and the company, but also arouse employees' enthusiasm.
Chen Xunqi observed Donnie Yen for a while, nodded with satisfaction: He has a very good appearance, and he is a Chinese American and has a very good identity with the character.
Pan Yingzi asked Donnie Yen: Danny, you are an actor whom Mr. Kang has taken special care of. Would you like to sign a long-term contract with DreamWorks?
Donnie Yen is not a fool. Looking at the three-court trial, he knew that the company wanted to give him an important role. He nodded quickly and said: Of course I am willing, I came to Hong Kong to make a movie.
Pan Yingzi took out an artist agency contract and came out and said: Look at what needs to be changed above?
Donnie Yen just browsed it casually. He was now thinking about filming, so he dared not bargain with the company and quickly signed his name on the contract.
Pan Yingzi put away one of the triple contracts and said to Donnie Yen: You go to the Ministry of Human Resources first, complete the procedures before coming over, and you once paid attention to giving you the script.
Thank you, thank you!Donnie Yen excitedly bowed to the three of them before running to the Ministry of Human Resources.
After Donnie Yen left, Pan Yingzi, Tsang Zhiwei and Chen Xunqi continued to talk about the important matters.
Pan Yingzi asked: Do Xunqi have any specific ideas about foreign actors?
Chen Xunqi said: This time, half of the filming locations were placed in the United States, mainly to enter the American market, so several foreign actors must consider them carefully.My suggestion is to find Hollywood second-rate action stars. We can’t afford to hire A-level stars like Stallone, and second-rate action stars just fit.
Do I need to send someone to Hollywood?Pan Yingzi asked.One of the responsibilities of the Artist Department is to cooperate with the production department to cast, contact actors, arrange schedules, etc. when shooting movies.
Zeng Zhiwei shook his head and said: No, we can do it.
Pan Yingzi didn't say anything else. They were actually almost the same in terms of familiarity with Hollywood actors, and they only took one step at the United States.
The movie "Sister Royal" released at the beginning of last year is actually "Sister Royal 2 Warrior Royal" in parallel time and space. Currently, "Sister Royal 2" written by Kang Jianfei, produced by Sammo Hung and directed by Chen Xunqi is "Sister Royal 4 Direct Strike to Witness" in another time and space.
The original film was starring Hong Kong actress Yang Lijing, but now Yang Lijing is still in art school in Taiwan. It is obvious that Kang Jianfei can't go to find her, and Brigitte Lin is still the heroine.
The beginning of the script has been modified a lot by Kang Jianfei, and the male lead is still Donnie Yen. Now the three of Pan Yingzi and the other two are discussing the white character who has a wonderful fighting scene with Brigitte Lin in the film.
The three continued to discuss the preparations for the film. Pan Yingzi's secretary Yang Yun suddenly knocked in and handed Pan Yingzi a note and said: Mr. Kang's note seems to be the candidate for the American actor.
When Pan Yingzi opened it, she found a foreign name: Arnold Schwarzenegger.
This kind of cold reception really made Donnie Yen feel disheartened. Several times Donnie Yen was so tired on the crew that he had Cute thought of leaving Hong Kong after he returned to his house to rent.
However, although Donnie Yen has a bad temper and often offends people when speaking, and has no friends at DreamWorks, his resilience is pretty good.
