"Your friend in Hong Kong? Who are they?" Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously in response to Guan Yaoqiang's request.

"Luo Zhaoliang." Guan Yaoqiang said, "He had been away from the screen for a few years due to family reasons. He has been planning to make a comeback recently and has been looking for a good script."

After saying that, as if afraid that Ye Zhiqiu might misunderstand him, Guan Yaoqiang quickly added: "Of course, he just wants to see if there is a suitable opportunity. He can audition at any time."

Luo Zhaoliang? Ye Zhiqiu pondered, and had some impression of the name of this Hong Kong actor.

He has won the Best Actor award twice and has several representative works. His acting skills are still quite solid.

However, with the decline of Hong Kong films in recent years, many veteran Hong Kong actors are not without roles to play, but they are indeed less popular.

Ye Zhiqiu thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Qiang, since you asked, I will speak directly."

"I do have plans for a movie later, which is a crime and suspense film, which should be more suitable in style."

"I believe Luo Zhaoliang's acting skills are fine, but whether he is suitable for the role or not, we can only know it after we have a chat in the past."

"This drama is my focus in the second half of the year. You can tell them and make preparations in advance. The crew will contact him then."

Guan Yaoqiang was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly said, "No problem, as long as there is an audition opportunity, I will notify him!"

At present, Ye Zhiqiu is indeed preparing for his next film.

"The Wandering Earth" is still postponing its release, but the overall box office situation has been determined and there won't be much change.

Next is the comedy "Charlotte's Troubles", which is scheduled to be released during the summer vacation and will be released in July.

If nothing unexpected happens, the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" will usher in a wave of explosion, which is the characteristic of comedy films.

A relatively hardcore science fiction film like "The Wandering Earth" has certain basic requirements for the audience, otherwise they will not be able to experience the excitement.

Comedies like "Charlotte's Troubles" are much more "friendly". All you have to do is laugh along mindlessly, and they are naturally more easily accepted by the public.

In fact, with the box office of "The Wandering Earth", Ye Zhiqiu has officially entered the ranks of "billion-dollar box office directors".

Long before, he had already achieved the achievement of "screenwriter with a box office of 10 billion yuan". Now, if we only count the films he directed himself, the total box office has officially exceeded 10 billion yuan.

But as an actor himself, Ye Zhiqiu still has few honors.

He is Liu Qi in "The Wandering Earth", Song Tianyin in "Monster Hunt", Qin Feng in "Detective Chinatown"... His interpretation of these roles cannot be said to be bad, but because of the positioning of the characters themselves, they are not that amazing.

At present, the highest-rated movie role played by Ye Zhiqiu is still the gentlemanly but corrupt lawyer "Pan Xiao" in "No Man's Land".

There is also a voice on the Internet that suggests Ye Zhiqiu should just be a screenwriter and director, and as an actor, he should just play the role of a "tool" and not force himself.

Ye Zhiqiu was of course dissatisfied with this - there are movie emperors every year, why don’t they come to my house?

The next one will be his effort to win the Best Actor award.

At the same time, as June began, on the other side of the ocean, a TV series craze was sweeping across North America.

Game of Thrones, the epic fantasy drama produced by HBO, has been at the top of the ratings chart since the second episode aired.
