Chapter 123 Half done
Xu Ming got Gong Li's phone number.
Instead of calling someone first, he turned around and contacted Director Han from China Film.
"Uncle Han, are you busy? Director Zhang's new play has some developments that I would like to report to you." Xu Ming said.
"You said."
Han Sanping raised his hand to interrupt his subordinate's speech and listened intently to the voice on his phone.
Xu Ming usually doesn't contact him. Contact is only for important matters.
"I would like to ask Teacher Gong Li to play the role of Li Hongqin in "Dear". Do you think it is suitable?" Xu Ming said.
No matter when, it is better to let the leader make the decision for you than to make the decision first and then tell the story later.
Han Sanping raised his eyebrows, surprised by Xu Ming's bold idea.
This kid really dares to think.
He pondered: "It's definitely suitable, but isn't it a bit unrealistic?"
"I think we need to work hard from all sides. Gong Li has agreed to contact me. This is an intention." Xu Ming hinted.
It would be difficult for him alone to influence the thinking of Gong Li and the manager behind her, but with Han Sanping in the mix, he would be a little more sure.
"You said Gong Li agreed to contact you?"
Han Sanping was confused for a moment. People across the country didn't know much about the relationship between Zhang Guoshi and Gong Li.
Then he realized the reason and said with a smile: "Okay, as long as you can convince Gong Li, we will leave the rest to China Film."
Look, based on this reaction, Uncle Han is indeed superior to Uncle Jiang.
"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved." Xu Ming said.
"Well, go ahead and do it boldly. As long as it doesn't break the law, I'll take care of everything." Han Sanping said solemnly.
I, Uncle Han, feel bad that I don’t call you my foster father.
Xu Ming was having a lot of drama in his heart, but on the outside he said calmly: "Okay."
Putting away his phone, he tentatively sent a text message to the other party, asking what time would be convenient for the call.
If the other party didn't reply, he would wait until tomorrow and call directly.
Fortunately, Gong Li called him after a while.
"Teacher Gong, I am Xu Ming." Xu Ming said.
"Well, I know, what's the matter?"
Gong Li's voice did not sound condescending, on the contrary, it was gentle.
"We think you are the most suitable heroine for our new film. It is a film that discusses the theme of anti-trafficking. I would like to ask if you are scheduled to star in it?" Xu Ming said.
He actually had a filter on Gong Li, but he became much calmer after the call was connected.
No matter what happens, we will pay for it.
The other end of the phone was silent for a moment, obviously not expecting Xu Ming to be so direct.
Three seconds later, Gong Li said: "Is it the one that Director Zhang is preparing?"
Listen, this is to keep an eye on Director Zhang's movements.
"Yes, the title of the film is "Dear", which is led by Qiming Entertainment. China Film, Wanda, Star America and other groups participate in investment and promotion, ensuring that there is no chance of new scenes entering the film." Xu Ming emphasized the second half of the sentence.
Gong Li was fine in front of him, but he couldn't help but chuckle when he heard from behind: "You were an actor in "Three Guns" before, so why did you have a conflict with Zhang Dapao?"
"This guy is two-faced. He seems to be doing well on the surface, but he secretly stabs people behind his back. I really couldn't stand his behavior, so I stood up to expose his bad side."
Xu Ming half-sincerely and half-deliberately said in the direction that the other party wanted to hear, "And he is also very ambitious. Once when we were having dinner with my master, he poked my master in the head. Who can bear this?"
He only found out about this later.
He couldn't blame his master for still protecting him even if the storm was so big later.
Perhaps this is the reason why Zhang Dapao stood up and criticized himself for playing a big name.
"The word duplicity is a good one."
Gong Li only felt that the other party had become his mouthpiece, helping him to let out a bad breath.
"The reason why I want to invite you is not only because you are the best actress in China, but also partly because I personally hope that you and Director Zhang will put aside the commercial elements and work together again."
"The two partners are my childhood memories. On the other hand, I also want to show Zhang Dapao. Without him, Zhang Guoshi will only become more prosperous."
Xu Ming's tone was sincere, and he could only rely on this to impress the other party.
Otherwise, "Dear" would not be a good choice for Gong Li in terms of salary or prospects. There were only two cards in his hand from beginning to end, one was Zhang Guoshi and the other was Zhang Dapao.
The former is a card of emotion, and the latter is a card of hatred.
After finishing speaking, Xu Ming did not question the other party, but just waited quietly.
Gong Li thought for a long time and replied: "Send the script to my email and I will think about it."
"Okay."
Xu Ming clenched his hands into fists and waved them heavily.
With this answer from the other party, half the work is done.
……
for the next week.
Audition invitations from the "Dear" preparation team are being sent out continuously.
Some of them were chosen by Zhang Guoshi, and some were suggested by Xu Ming.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
Compared to the bleakness of "To Youth" at the time.
This time, unless there is really no schedule for the former's movie, almost no actor can refuse it.
As for Gong Li, there has been no news yet.
Xu Ming is not in a hurry. What he plans is up to God. He has done what he can, and the rest depends on God's will.
Instead, I focused on the rehearsal of "Help or Not".
"Auntie, do your family members know that you are so naughty?" Xu Ming asked.
"Hehehe, do this with me, hehehe~"
Yu Yuexian's rough laughter echoed in the rehearsal room, making everyone's skin crawl.
To be honest, Xu Ming didn't expect that he could make Xie Dajiao like this.
Boom!
The door was pushed open and it was the staff of "Dear".
"Teacher Xu, Director Zhang asked you to come over."
"Okay, let him wait a moment, I'll be right away."
Xu Ming nodded, wiped his sweat with a towel, and said to the others: "You guys practice first, I'll go over and take a look."
After he finished speaking, he realized that some of the people in front of him were hesitant to speak.
"Is something wrong?"
"Mr. Xu, I would like to ask about the "Dear" audition, can we participate?" Sun Yizhou said cautiously.
They also want to participate in Zhang Guoshi's movie.
"Go ahead, it's right next door. Can I accept the information if I submit it?"
Xu Ming paused, looked at Yu Yuexian and said: "Sister Yu, you can also give it a try."
"Ah, can I do that too?"
Yu Yuexian was holding this matter in her heart and was too embarrassed to open her mouth.
Hearing Xu Ming's active agreement, his face lit up, he stood up and said, "Thank you, Mingzi."
"It's okay, I'll go there first."
Xu Ming glanced at Duang Duang's position and secretly said, "Don't look at any incest."
He hurried out the door.
We turned a corner and arrived at the "Dear" preparation room.
There were many actors standing in the corridor, both big and small.
Seeing him, everyone stood up.
"Hello, Teacher Xu."
"Hey, everyone, I'll have someone bring some warm water and move some stools later. Thank you all for taking the time to come over and audition."
Xu Ming responded one by one with a smile.
When he reached the last person, he went up and gave him a hug: "Hey, Brother Jun, I didn't tell you earlier that I was here."
