Chapter 203 There is a kind of round and round beauty
When Bai Liang took Sister Zhao to have dinner with Xu Zheng and Jing Tian, a certain "handsome boy" who was considered a young person among the directors received a piece of bad news:
The hero of the movie ran away because there was a "better choice."
This matter is actually not a big blow to Guo Fan.
Because he was already very poor and didn't have the money to hire a big-name male lead. It wasn't a big deal for him to run away and find a street kid.
There are many actors like this in the entertainment industry.
Most of the young actors who graduate from various art academies every year cannot become popular.
This one is gone, please replace it with another one.
Was this bad news because he felt that even such a confused young artist would dislike his current film "The Wandering Earth"?
I don't even dislike you for being stupid, but you actually dislike our movie?
How can a man who rides a horse be so unreasonable!
For a while, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.
After all, from the beginning of the project, the three words "not optimistic" have been lingering around Guo Fan.
Not many people are willing to believe that a director who made a movie like "My Deskmate" three years ago can produce any reliable science fiction masterpiece.
But this kind of small setback cannot defeat him. It has been three years since "My Deskmate".
Three years! He has been waiting for three years to prove that he is great!
Guo Fan lit a cigarette, then called the casting director and asked him to find another male lead as soon as possible.
After casting director Sun Qiang heard this, he was confused for a moment, "Director Guo, should we find a little guy this time?"
"Otherwise, can you hire a big name for me? I don't have money." Guo Fan said helplessly.
Sun Qiang on the other end of the phone smacked his lips. To be honest, although he was accidentally "captured" by Guo Fan, a succubus, and came to help him make a science fiction movie that looked very unreliable, he was indeed I admire Guo Fan very much.
This director has a strange charisma.
Sun Qiang is very familiar with this feeling because he has felt similar before.
So after thinking about it, I came up with a bold idea: "Director Guo, why don't we just find a top guy!"
"Top class?!" Guo Fan was delighted, "Can you help me make money?"
Sun Qiang on the other end of the phone was also happy. He really felt like he was telling a fairy tale.
However, he felt that there was someone different.
Guo Fan dared to shoot "The Wandering Earth". He was just trying something. What was there to dare to do?
"Director, I have connections. I know a top-notch person who has good reputation, achievements, and good acting skills. Oh, yes, he is not the kind of little fresh meat who can't endure hardships. He is very dedicated! He is also very famous!"
"Aqiang, I beg you to stop talking, I'm starting to look forward to what you said"
The more Sun Qiang told those conditions, the more Guo Fan felt it was impossible.
Is such a person crazy? I am willing to come to their set and I don’t have any money to give him.
"Maybe he is willing to give up the money." Sun Qiang said in a suppressed voice.
Hearing this, Guo Fan blurted out: "You don't need money, how about a share? How can he be so easy to cheat?!"
"I attended a dinner party some time ago and met director Wu Jing, and he told me about this."
Wu Jing went around bragging about Bai Liang's operation, and it was obvious that not only Xu Zheng knew about it.
He was really praising Bai Liang very hard, as if even if the movie was a hit, he would spread the good reputation of Bai Liang throughout the entertainment industry.
"Wait a minute, tell me who you are first?" Guo Fan finally couldn't help but ask.
The moment he asked this question, he realized it was over and was really moved!
"Bai Liang." Sun Qiang said in a deep voice.
That serious tone seemed to read something indescribable
"Bai Liang."
If it were another young star who was the top guy, Guo Fan felt that he could find a reason to give up the invitation.
But this guy really heard about it.
It's not just Wu Jing, there are many directors in the industry who praise him.
Everyone who has worked with me says it’s good!
It is not easy to accumulate this kind of reputation. If you perform well on the set, you may not be remembered by the director, because this is your job.
You have to be excellent and touch the hearts of many people to be talked about by so many people at the same time.
For a moment, Guo Fan even had a similar feeling.
After all, he relies on his ability as a succubus to travel around the world.
"Aqiang, are you familiar with him?" Guo Fan couldn't help but ask.
"I was the casting director for his first drama, so I think he is half a noble person." Sun Qiang said with a little guilt.
It should be considered half, right? Half a half is fine too~
"Then give it a try. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry now."
After saying this, Guo Fan thought for a while and added: "It would be best if I could talk to him face to face."
Zisunqiang is a bit stressed now. After all, Bai Liang is not the little Karami who just ran to the set of "Martial God Zhao Zilong" alone with a bag on his back and protein powder.
He was really not sure whether he could make an appointment.
Although he has the other party's contact information, two years have passed by in a flash, and it's hard to say whether Bai Liang still remembers him.
——
Bai Liang and Xu Zheng had a pleasant chat.
Because he has a better mentality and doesn't talk about unpleasant things.
In this regard, Xu Zheng was a little helpless.
He had never seen anything like this. He didn't notice any dissatisfaction from the other party at all. Bai Liang didn't even frown during the whole process.
Polite and gentle, but it left him completely unsure of his ideas.
Regarding the project "Cohabitation in Time and Space", Bai Liang also had a serious discussion with him.
A veteran like Xu Zheng can actually tell whether the other person is perfunctory or has really done his homework as long as he chats with someone for a few words.
Bai Liang is the latter.
Xu Zheng: This guy has really studied the script and characters!
And even if I don't completely agree with a lot of what he said, I still think it makes sense.
When you hear this, you know that you have put in the effort.
Jing Tian next to me didn't even take a few bites of the food, so she was listening seriously!
But just like that, it made Xu Zheng even more uncomfortable.
He wants Bai Liang to be involved in this project more and more, because he is definitely the leading actor he is looking for.
Even because of "Riding the Wind and Waves", he already knew Bai Liang's ability to play the young man of the last century. He didn't even need to try on the makeup and audition, and he knew that he would be able to play it well!
But the problem is that Bai Liang’s manager is called Yanzi, right? She is really difficult to deal with!
When Xu Zheng came into contact with Yanzi, he even felt as if he had met the most difficult aunt in the market.
It would be nice if it was really in the vegetable market, but I really can't find another one.
But now, if he doesn't deal with Bai Liang, he will have no choice but to "do the next best thing", and the heroine who was tricked may also run away.
No, he will definitely run away!
Before the meal ended, Xu Zheng glanced at Jing Tian and felt that this person was already a little bit ready to make a move.
I don’t know if I have a new idea or if I feel unreliable and want to retreat urgently.
If he doesn't think of a way to get Bai Liang, the movie will have to be postponed again. Moreover, because of his contact with Bai Liang and Jing Tian, it will be difficult to schedule the actors who he originally thought were more suitable.
Xu Zheng quickly calculated the gains and losses in his mind and felt that "gaining profits" was probably unavoidable.
Damn it! I feel bad!
What's the difference between this and taking money out of his pocket?
After finishing the meal, Xu Zheng was still smiling, but he was already feeling terrible. Facing a big ball of cotton, he couldn't deal with the opponent. In the end, he could only make a fuss about profit.
Find a way to "feed" the hungry wolf of the swallow!
Bai Liang is actually quite happy. Although Xu Zheng is a bit stingy, he does have something.
He is worthy of being a successful player after switching from actor to director.
The three film directors Bai Liang has contacted so far are all semi-monastic contestants.
Han Han, Wu Jing, Xu Zheng.
Each has its own characteristics and each has its own shortcomings.
What they have in common is that they are really outstanding in what they are good at.
They belong to the type that can play in one or several directions much more thoroughly than others.
On the contrary, Bai Liang had never been exposed to any of these professional film directors.
"Sister, is it delicious?"
Hearing this, Sister Zhao subconsciously touched her belly.
Then he said: "It's all thanks to you that I got fat. I'm the only one at the table who eats seriously."
"When you are away from home, you have to eat well alone. I recommend you a drama about cooking. It's from Japan and it's called "The Lonely Gourmet."
Speaking of this field, Bai Liang said that no one knows how to eat better than himself~
"Farewell, I am a female star."
"It doesn't matter if you are a little round-faced female star."
"Go to hell!" After the habitual scolding, Sister Zhao asked seemingly casually: "Where are you waiting? Which of your sweethearts in Yanjing are you looking for?"
"Friends?" Bai Liang thought for a moment, who is there?
Among the girls he knew who were based in Yanjing, Yang Mi and Reba were definitely unavailable. Now that "Three Lives Three Worlds" is so popular, these two are so busy jumping around like rabbits.
Sister Meng's and Li Yao's companies are also in Yanjing, but they should be filming together now.
And
"Are you really looking for it?!" Sister Zhao said immediately when she saw that he was in a thinking state.
Bai Liang looked innocent: "Didn't you ask me to find it?"
If only this brat could always be so obedient.
Sister Xiao Zhao didn't want to argue with him: "If you don't have any land, just come to my house and sit there." "Yours? Did you buy a big house?"
"Huh? How do you know?"
"Guess."
Sister Xiao Zhao has indeed just bought a luxury house in Yanjing.
She is worthy of being a first-line female star. She has extraordinary properties. It is a single-family villa with a yard, located in Chaoyang District.
The value is not to mention hundreds of millions, but it is almost tens of millions.
Regarding this, Sister Xiao Zhao did not hide it, and directly told him that she spent 80 million to buy it.
Around July this year, the Forbes Celebrity List of 16-17 will be released, and it is estimated that Sister Zhao will be in the top five.
Bai Liang: She is indeed a rich woman~
Of course he is interested in visiting Sister Zhao's mansion. A big villa is great! Big villa with many rooms!
However, at this time, Sister Zhao's eyes seemed a little erratic.
Bai Liang felt that if he said "I want to go home" right now, his sister might lose her temper.
I've been with you for the audition and eaten, and now you say you want to go home? ! I can’t scold you to death~
However, just when Bai Liang was about to follow her, a phone call suddenly came in.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
The name on the caller ID was quite new. It was Jing Tian who had just exchanged contact information with Bai Liang not long ago.
The other party didn't bother him with any polite words. After saying hello, he went straight to the topic.
Want to meet and chat.
In this regard, Bai Liang had no reason to refuse.
The other party definitely wants to talk to me about something serious.
I could only make an apologetic gesture to Sister Xiao Zhao.
"How about I go to your house later?"
Sister Xiao Zhao said nothing and walked away, as if to say: Bah! There is no such shop after passing this village.
Bai Liang didn't even leave a detailed address, obviously he wasn't going to let him go later.
Bai Liang: It doesn't matter. There will always be opportunities in the future.
Regarding Jing Tian, a well-known wealthy person in and outside the circle, Bai Liang didn't actually have much communication with Jing Tian when they had dinner together.
He felt that this young lady was not sure whether she was afraid of him or just because of her nature.
After all, the public image of many artists is quite different from their private personalities.
Jing Tian spoke very little, and most of the time he just listened attentively. Occasionally, when he looked over, the other person would subconsciously avoid him.
In addition to these impressions of her when they first met, Bai Liang's other impressions of her are actually similar to those of most netizens.
Isn't there a saying on the Internet, if you have Fei, choose Fei, but if you don't have Fei, choose Yuan; if you don't have Fei, choose Jingtian.
Although this cannot completely summarize all straight male aesthetics, because when Bai Liang was the most straight man, he liked Ultraman and Pokémon.
When I became more mature, I started to like Digimon and Gundam, and then it was the turn of the sweet and soft girl.
But on this track, Miss Jing Tian really made it.
She is indeed good-looking.
Oh yes, Bai Liang also knows that she looks better in a cheongsam.
There is a kind of round and round beauty.
Of course the two met again, not alone. Bai Liang faced Jing Tian, her agent and assistant alone.
When there are many people, it can indeed make you look more imposing at certain times.
But today it's the other way around.
A group of female prostitutes were a little timid when facing Bai Liang.
After all, as a "general", Jing Tian couldn't stand up for himself.
This 85-year-old is the weakest player Bai Liang has ever seen. Not to mention compared to Yang Mi and Zhao Liying, he feels like he can't even compete with that stupid big guy Tang Yan.
"I feel like you are darker than before."
After a few simple polite words, Jing Tian's first direct evaluation of Bai Liang came today.
"Maybe it's because I went to Africa to record a show before. I did get a bit tanned, and it should gradually come back." Bai Liang didn't have much idol baggage, so he nodded and admitted.
He is indeed a bit darker than before, and because he has been having too much fun in Africa, he is even a little more wild than before.
ah! Bai Liang suddenly understood what was going on.
He had just returned from a field trip outside. Even though he was still essentially the same Capibala, he still had a somewhat barbaric flavor when facing wild beasts and gunfire.
After integrating into the environment, it takes some time to withdraw from the previous environment.
Sitting next to him, Jing Tian, who was as delicate as a doll, seemed a bit out of place.
Sister Xiao Zhao won't feel much about his small changes, because she herself climbed up from the bottom.
Xu Zheng didn't say anything specifically because he felt that this comparison would be more effective in the movie.
However, for Jing Tian, the wildness of the overflowing hormones and the explosion of wanton growth felt like they could easily break her fragile delicacy.
So I instinctively felt a little scared.
Of course, to a certain extent, this feeling will also bring about a contradictory sexual tension.
For details, you can refer to some literary and artistic works in Japan.
Plumbers, repairmen and the like.
"Teacher Bai, we still want to cooperate with you. This time we mainly want to ask for specific ideas."
Jing Tian's agent seemed a little frustrated when he saw her, staring at the cup of coffee on the table as if trying to spot a flower, so he had to retort.
At the same time, I was wondering: Tiantian had never been so reserved before.
"I don't have much ideas. Of course it's a good thing to cooperate." Bai Liang said honestly.
As a result, these words sounded like perfunctory politeness to other people's ears.
The agent even thought in his mind: Doesn't this guy dislike Jing Tian's bad reputation in the film industry?
Very possible!
Looking at Bai Liang who looked calm, she gritted her teeth and launched a unique move!
"I heard that Teacher Bai is in contact with the crew of "The Ming Dynasty"?"
Bai Liang was a little surprised, "You all know this?"
A smile appeared on the other party's face, "You can always find out something if you ask around. I heard that the conversation didn't go very smoothly because of the heroine drama."
"I want to think about what can be said"
"It doesn't need to be so complicated. The crew of "The Ming Dynasty" has not yet reached an agreement with Tang Wei. We can also contact them to reduce the importance of the heroine so that this drama is not a drama with a female protagonist."
"Huh?"
"It's true."
As if worried that Bai Liang wouldn't believe it, Jing Tian's agent directly found the chat history on his phone.
"The Ming Dynasty" even sent her an electronic version of the simple script.
This is indeed evidence of the beginning of contact.
Jing Tian, who has already filmed "The Glory of the Tang Dynasty", doesn't mind starring in another "The Ming Dynasty".
The name sounds like it belongs to a series.
Moreover, "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" also improved her reputation a lot. Many people said, "It turns out that Jing Tian has acting skills."
As for the purpose of strongly participating in the drama "The Ming Dynasty", it can be regarded as a kind of resource replacement.
Ask Bai Liang to agree to star in "Cohabitation in Time and Space" with Jing Tian. As a condition, Jing Tian will help him solve the problem of the female lead role in "The Ming Dynasty".
If she plays Sun Ruowei and takes the initiative to drop the role and reduce the role, it will be over, and those historical magic changes that Bai Liang is not satisfied with will be gone.
Stop by and get the best of both worlds.
As for whether we can intervene. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse!
Even though Jing Tian's resources are not as good as before, she can still do this kind of thing. Tang Wei is not considered a top-tier actress in the film industry, and Jing Tian just got by.
What's more, Bai Liang's fame and influence can be borrowed. Together, the two of them beat Tang Wei violently.
Any producer who is not a fool knows how to choose.
Bai Liang: Da Tiantian is such a nice person!
He really didn’t expect that he could be like this~
So I had no choice but to call Yanzi and ask her if this method of playing was reliable.
Yanzi was shocked when he heard this, huh? Where did you get taken advantage of?
To be honest, she was ready to agree to Xu Zheng.
After the other party finished eating with Bai Liang, he gave her a new price.
Yanzi felt that this probability was the limit, and was just about to agree, when such news came from Bai Liang.
This was something that no A-list female star in her prime would be able to do, so Jing Tian, who was in an awkward situation now, was willing to do it.
Even Sister Zhao, who has such a good relationship with Bai Liang, cannot "sacrifice" like this.
When word got out about this, she couldn't even agree to her fans' promises.
The same goes for Yang Mi. No matter how much she likes the gift from Bai Liang, she will not cooperate with him like this.
If you think about it carefully, Jing Tian is really suitable for this job.
It just seems a bit like being taken advantage of.
But Yanzi thought about it. Creatures like "taken advantage of" are indeed always around his little white brother.
This time she really heard the echo of Qiang Luck, especially clearly.
