Chapter 628 Tree
As "Pacific Rim" became a hit in China, Mei Ting's work as the heroine suddenly increased, with various activities, endorsements, announcements, drama appointments, etc. coming one after another.
It seems that he has become a busy person.
In this situation, it is impossible to give birth to a child for Wang Shu.
Unless, quit the job.
However, Mei Ting has always had a career ambition, coupled with the encouragement of Wang Shu.
Therefore, it is impossible to turn down a job, but to seize the opportunity to not only go higher and further, but also make more money.
"Viagra, when are you going to introduce Director Wang to us?"
It was cold in winter, and Yang Wei and a group of actors in the industry were eating hot pot.
He didn't save the money, he was just invited to take charge of the food.
Yang Wei told the truth: "It's not that I don't want to introduce it to you, but he is very busy now, and he is not in the country at the moment, he went to Los Angeles."
Upon hearing this, all the actors and actresses at the table looked disappointed.
They had no chance to get in touch with Wang Shu, so they had to find a way to start with Yang Wei.
And Yang Wei was slowly promoted to Viagra.
Yang Wei knew very well that he was in the position he was today all because of Wang Shu.
Everyone in front of him wanted to gain Wang Shu's favor through him, so they were so flattering.
There are some things that he sees through but does not tell. He understands in his heart, but he never tells them.
"Did Director Wang go to Los Angeles?" Tang Yan asked with big eyes.
Many of the people in the hot pot bureau are Chengtian artists, such as Tang Yan, Qiao Renliang, Yang Wei, etc.
Qiao Renliang was having a hot pot game with several other people. Not only did he and Tang Yan belong to the same Chengtian family, but they were also very close friends. It was he who called Tang Yan over.
Seeing everyone looking over, Yang Wei nodded and responded: "I've been there. I heard that I seem to be cooperating with Paramount in Hollywood on a science fiction movie. I went there to cast the actors."
“I will also attend the British Academy Film Awards and Academy Awards ceremonies later.”
“So I don’t know when I will come back.”
Shen Jiani asked aloud: "Is it the movie that made news before?"
She and Tang Yan are friends, and not only is she involved in the hot pot game, but there are also Huaizhai and Ma Yili.
Whether it's the capital, the magic city, or the entertainment circles of Treasure Island and Hong Kong Island, most actors have their own small circles in private.
It's common for people who don't appear to have worked together on screen to know each other personally.
After all, this is a human society, one takes the other, and soon we all know you and him.
Yang Wei responded: "Yes, this is the movie."
Ma Yili and others looked at each other and understood.
She asked: "Director Wang is collaborating with Paramount on this film. Is it a co-production?"
This question is very critical. For a moment, everyone looked at Yang Wei again.
The co-production indicates that Wang Shu may choose actors in the country.
Wang Shu's Yishu company does not handle artist management, but it does casting.
Yang Wei thought for a while and responded: "It seems to be a co-production."
"Will Director Wang be casting domestically?" Tang Yan asked with concern.
Jiang Wenli became the Queen of Cannes with "The Tuner", Sun Li became popular with "Space Traveler", and Mei Ting is expected to enter the international stage with "Pacific Rim".
This all stimulated them.
Through these facts before them, everyone knows that as long as they can participate in a movie, even if they are not starring in Wang Shu's movie, it will be of great help to their career.
Yang Wei shook his head: "I don't know about that."
"Don't you know this?" Huaizhi didn't believe it and felt that Yang Wei was not telling the truth.
"I really don't know." Yang Wei saw everyone looking at him, and then he pretended to believe it or not.
Ma Yili and others looked at each other. Although they still didn't believe it, they didn't ask any questions.
The few people then changed the subject and chatted for a while. Qiao Renliang raised his cup and looked at Yang Wei, smiling and saying: "Viagra, let me toast you."
The hot pot restaurant not only offers hot pot, but also barbecue, and wine is indispensable.
With Qiao Renliang taking the lead, others followed Yang Weijing to a greater or lesser degree.
For a moment, Yang Wei sighed again and again in his heart.
Once upon a time, he was just a walk-on working in front of a Beijing studio. Just because he met Wang Shu, the trajectory of his life changed.
Looking back at the few people we met together at that time, they are still playing small roles now, and no one has made any progress.
This made Yang Wei understand that if it weren't for Wang Shu, then he would be 100% the same as those people now.
"Liang Shan."
Not long ago, Yang Wei was filming in Hengdian and met Liang Shan on the crew next door.
He is now playing supporting roles in many roles.
Liang Shan is still playing a small role.
He did not go to meet Liang Shan, but silently lamented that maybe in two years, Liang Shan would no longer be able to run as a sidekick. The real predicament would make her change her career, right?
It can only be said that 2010 is fortunately not the era of self-media.
Otherwise, with the gimmick of Wang Shu becoming a beautiful heroine in a rage, Liang Shan could have embarked on the road of becoming an Internet celebrity and sell goods through live broadcasts.
As long as you are shameless and take advantage of Wang Shu's popularity, you can earn thousands of dollars at least.
Now, no one uses her at all.
Not to mention that Wang Shu is a great director, even if Wang Shu never said anything, many people would not give Wang Shu eye drops for a walk-on with no acting skills.
Let’s just say that Wang Shu and China Film Group have been cooperating. Everyone knows that Wang Shu and Han Sanping have a good relationship.
Even with the weight of China Film Group, no one would look for trouble.
Again, if this is the era of self-media, black and red are also red, and MCN will definitely sign Liang Shan, then launch it to take advantage of Wang Shu’s popularity, and then live broadcast to sell goods.
Los Angeles.
Wang Shu and Liu Yifei were having dinner together.
It was not the person he dated, but Liu Yifei who took the initiative to contact her after learning that he came to Los Angeles.
Although the two haven't seen each other very often, they have always kept in touch through mobile phones.
Before, when Wang Shu was in Los Angeles, he met him several times and had dinner with him several times.
"Are you here for casting?" Liu Yifei took a sip of water and asked.
"Yes, casting." Wang Shu responded.
"Do you have a favorite actor?" Liu Yifei asked curiously.
Wang Shu shook his head: "Not yet, we will see when the time comes."
After hearing this, Liu Yifei thought for a moment and asked: "Can you decide?"
"No." Wang Shu said truthfully, "I can only recommend actors and cannot directly choose actors."
"However, if the actors I recommend are indeed suitable, Paramount will probably adopt them." Liu Yifei nodded. Of course she wanted to participate in this movie, but she didn't have a schedule, so she never revealed that she wanted to participate. meaning.
I just heard her complaining with a smile: "You are an Oscar director. Paramount wants to make the movie good, so of course it will respect your opinion."
Liu Yifei has the same characteristic as many young beauties. Not only does she speak outright, but she also loves to argue and doesn't know how to say nice things.
"Haha." Wang Shu smiled after hearing this, then changed the subject and said, "What about you? When will you return to China?"
"In two days." Liu Yifei responded.
"Did you turn it on in the Magic City?" Wang Shu asked immediately.
The two had chatted on the phone before, and Liu Yifei told her about accepting the drama appointment.
This role is about the romance film "Love Announcement" starring together with Wang Lihong.
Filming will start on February 18. The filming locations will be partly in the Magic City and partly in Treasure Island.
Although Liu Yifei was suppressed after offending Huayi, Boss Chen is not without solutions.
After some manipulation, he got involved in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles, and with the help of the energy of China Film, he once again returned to the public eye through movies.

"Yes." Liu Yifei nodded.
The two chatted while eating until the meal was over.
"We'll have dinner together when I return to Los Angeles." Before leaving, Liu Yifei said with a smile.
She didn't mention having dinner together in China because she was worried about being photographed by the domestic media, and then there were all kinds of rumors.
I've had enough of this and don't want to face it again.
On the other hand, it's different in Los Angeles, where only a handful of people know her.
Wang Shu is a director, a behind-the-scenes profession.
Many people in the United States know that there is an Oscar-winning director named Wang Shu, but they don’t know what he looks like.
For example, in China, many people know the veteran Hollywood director Cameron, and everyone can name him.
But what he looks like, most people have no idea.
Therefore, Wang Shu is not easily recognized by passers-by in the United States.
"Okay." Wang Shu responded with a smile and watched the other party drive away.
Liu Yifei lives in Los Angeles and not only owns a house but also a car.
As Wang Shu arrived in Los Angeles, the casting of "Interstellar" completely spread, and many entertainment media reported on it.
"Shu, your script is very good, Paramount unanimously approved it."
Linda Obst asked Wang Shu to have coffee and talk about things.
Wang Shu smiled when he heard this and said: "It should be that your project is very good. I just made modifications based on your script."
Although he is copying Nolan's version of the script, Nolan is also recreating the project based on Linda Obst.
Linda Obst also smiled when she heard this. She was very grateful to Wang Shu for recognizing their contribution. Then she stopped dwelling on the topic and asked, "Shu, where are the actors? Do you have any recommendations?" < br>
"If there are, I can contact them and ask them to come and audition."
"Yes." Wang Shu responded directly, "The actor is Matthew McConaughey and the heroine Mei Ting."
Linda Obst knew Matthew McConaughey, and she thought about the name Mei Ting for a while before she thought that she was the heroine of "Pacific Rim."
Linda Obst couldn't help but look at Wang Shu with a smile and said: "It's just the two of them, no one else?"
"These are the two for now." Wang Shu answered calmly, as if he didn't care what you were thinking.
Linda Obst nodded, then smiled and said: "Shu, Matthew McConaughey is fine, but Mei Ting probably can't."
After saying that, he then explained, "Paramount guessed that you might recommend Chinese actors and has already announced in advance that the film "Interstellar" will use European and American actors."
Wang Shu had already guessed that this would be the case and said with a smile: "Give me a chance to audition."
Linda Obst was stunned when she heard this. She had already said that actors with oriental faces could not use it, so why would they still have the opportunity to audition?
After thinking about it briefly, I understood it instantly.
Then he smiled and said: "Okay, we will send her an audition invitation later."
If it were before, Linda Obst would not have been able to contact Mei Ting's agency.
Now that "Pacific Rim" is released, Mei Ting has been to the United States and left some traces.
In the evening, Wang Shu received a call from Matt Damon in his apartment.
"Shu, are you casting for the science fiction movie you're cooperating with Paramount about?" Matt Damon asked straight to the point.
"Yes." Wang Shu didn't hide anything and answered directly.
"Do I have a chance to get the leading actor role?" Matt Damon then asked.
"Why, are you interested too?" Wang Shu asked with a smile.
Matt Damon was not shy and responded directly: "I might consider other people's plays."
"But your drama, especially the science fiction film, I am very interested in."
"And I also heard that you were not very satisfied with the original script, so you re-created it yourself, right?"
Wang Shu answered noncommittally: "I did change the script, but since you know this is a Paramount project, shouldn't you go to them if you want the role?"
Matt Damon said with a smile: "Shu, I also know that you have the right to recommend actors."
Although he only has the right to recommend actors, everyone knows in their hearts that Wang Shu is the director, and the actors he recommends must have an advantage.
For example, there are three or five actors who are suitable for the male lead.
One of them is an actor recommended by Wang Shu, so nine times out of ten, the actor recommended by Wang Shu will get the role.
"Haha." Wang Shu laughed and said without any concealment, "I have already recommended Matthew McConaughey to Paramount, and he should have received an audition invitation by now."
"McConaughey?" Matt Damon was stunned when he heard this, "Do you think he is suitable to play the leading role?"
Wang Shu smiled and said: "If he is not suitable, what should I recommend him to Paramount for?"
Matt Damon felt a little uncomfortable and asked: "Tree, am I not suitable?"
"Uh~" Wang Shu said helplessly, "Damon, you are also an excellent actor, but I prefer Matthew McConaughey as the leading actor in this movie, so I recommended him to Paramount. ”
"And, I just recommend. Whether Matthew McConaughey will participate depends on whether he is willing to take the film and whether Paramount is satisfied."
"Got it." Matt Damon responded disappointedly.
The two chatted for a while and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone from Matt Damon, I received a call from Leonardo DiCaprio.
"Shu, the science fiction movie you are cooperating with Paramount will be casting soon, right?" DiCaprio asked.
"Yes, I have recommended Matthew McConaughey to Paramount." Wang Shu understood the purpose of DiCaprio's call and directly told the result.
"McConaughey?" DiCaprio was surprised.
"Yes." Wang Shu replied.
Xiao Lizi was silent for a moment and asked: "Am I not suitable?"
"Uh~" Wang Shu pondered for a moment and replied, "It's not that you are not suitable, but the first thing I thought of was Matthew McConaughey, and then I recommended him to Paramount."
DiCaprio understands that this means that Matthew McConaughey is more suitable than him.
