Chapter 119 What if your "The Promise" doesn't do well at the box office?
Beijing.
Night.
Liu Yan walked down the street with a haggard face, walked to a place with a seat, and sat down with a sigh.
At the end of 2005, while promoting the movie "The Promise", she had just entered the industry and got an exclusive opportunity to interview the great director Chen Kaige.
At that time, Liu Yan's emotional intelligence was not high, and he asked Chen Kaige in front of him: "What if your "The Promise" is not satisfactory at the box office?"
Chen Kaige immediately became furious: "I tell you, I am very dissatisfied with your words. I'm happy. This question is not friendly. How can you ask me such a question when the film is released in three days? "
Liu Yan realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly said it. A supplementary explanation: "I don't mean anything else, because the audience's response to "Assassination of Qin" was not very good."
After hearing this, Chen Kaige became even more angry and refused to give up.
Liu Yan finally got an opportunity to interview a great director, but not only did he mess it up, but he also offended the other party. He felt aggrieved and afraid and ran out of the interview room crying.
Someone said nice things to Chen Kaige and made up for Liu Yan: "She is new here and is not sensible."
However, Chen Kaige was not relieved and even said in a hateful voice: "Go to that reporter." Where is it? I want to ask her what her motive is? "
This incident had a great impact on Liu Yan and kept her in a state of fear.
I am worried that I will offend Chen Kaige, a great director, and lose my job.
She doesn’t want to lose her job.
She didn't come from a major, and she had gone through a lot of hard work to get to this point.
Yes. I really don’t want to die like this.
Not only do I not want to lose my job, I also want to make money.
Her mother suffered from cancer. Although it was under control and gradually improving, this incident still made the family, which was not already wealthy, even worse.
Liu Yan lived in the countryside before she was 10 years old. After she was 10 years old, her parents took her family to work south to make a living.
It is not a wealthy family, but a very ordinary migrant worker family.
"If I didn't say the wrong thing at that time."
Even though almost half a year had passed, Liu Yan still couldn't let go and was still upset.
Chen Kaige is a very powerful director in the Beijing circle.
She felt that such a person could make her pack up and go home just by stamping his feet.
Although half a year has passed and she has not been terminated by the Rays, her work has been affected since then, which makes her worried.
At this moment, her cell phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was a call from the company.
When Liu Yan saw this call, he suddenly became nervous and uneasy.
There was no hosting work tonight, but the company suddenly called me. Could it be that I didn’t have to go tomorrow?
Liu Yan was afraid to answer the phone for a moment.
"Hello." In the end, he still answered the call with an uneasy mood without any further delay.
"Where are you now?" A voice sounded quite happy on the other end of the phone.
Liu Yan was confused and answered truthfully: "Sister Huang, I'm sitting on a chair on the roadside now, and I plan to go back later."
Guang Guang's agent Instead of wasting time on this issue, he said directly: "Get dressed up tomorrow morning and then go to Director Wang's Yishu Company."
"Huh?" Liu Yan listened to the words. He looked confused, not knowing what it meant.
"Haha, you're in luck." The agent said with a smile, "I don't know how you caught Director Wang's eyes."
"This time Director Wang is planning to shoot a new movie and give Wang I always called you and asked you to audition. "
"Director Wang? Audition?" Liu Yan looked even more confused when she heard this, completely unable to understand what her agent was telling her. Something.
She is a newbie who has not even figured out how to host a show, but she is called to audition?
What is all this?
Not knowing how to audition was just a superficial statement, but in reality it was
Liu Yan couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
"That's right. It's the director Wang Shuwang who won the award at Cannes for "The Tuner" and was named the Best Actress at Cannes."
"You should also know Wang The director has a good relationship with Mr. Wang of our company. This time, Director Wang is planning to shoot a new movie, so he called our Mr. Wang and asked you to audition. "
"Huh?" I heard it was Wang Shu. , Liu Yan finally understood, and immediately asked in disbelief, "Sister Huang, you said Director Wang asked me to audition?"
Liu Yan's agent, whom Liu Yan called Sister Huang, said happily for Liu Yan: "So you are lucky."
"There are many actresses competing for the roles in Director Wang's plays. In the end, they didn’t catch it, but Director Wang took a fancy to you.”
Sister Huang couldn’t help but sigh that people’s fate is so wonderful.
Liu Yan’s exclusive interview a few months ago offended Chen Kaige, but now he is lucky enough to have Wang Shu’s favor.
Now, the other female artists in the company are envious.
When Sister Huang said this, she couldn't help but ask, "Liu Yan, can you tell me how you met Director Wang?"
Liu Yan was still in a dazed state of disbelief, she was stunned. He replied: "Sister Huang Huang, I don't know Director Wang."
"Huh? You don't know Director Wang, why did Director Wang suddenly call your name?" Sister Huang heard Liu Yan's words , I just felt that the artist I worked for did not tell the truth and was not very honest.
Liu Yan heard the meaning in the agent's tone and immediately explained in a panic: "Sister Huang, I. I really don't know Director Wang."
"I heard you said that I was I have been in a state of disbelief since Director Wang selected me for the audition. Just like you, I have no idea why I was selected by Director Wang.”
After hearing Liu Yan's words and Liu Yan's anxious and crying voice, Sister Huang was immediately confused.
Could it be that Liu Yan really doesn’t know Wang Shu?
She was so lucky that she was noticed by Director Wang without her knowing?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind.
Liu Yan offended Chen Kaige during the promotion of "The Promise" through an exclusive interview. Then before the release of "The Tuner", Wang Shu stepped on "The Promise" during an interview.
Was it at this time that Wang Shu paid attention to Liu Yan?
The more Liu Yan’s manager, Sister Huang, thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, and she was even convinced.
Although she is Liu Yan's manager, Liu Yan is only one of a dozen artists under her control.
Because there are too many artists on hand, and Liu Yan is a newcomer and has offended Chen Kaige, she usually doesn't have much control over Liu Yan, and is basically in a state of free rein.
Now, Liu Yan is favored by Wang Shu.
No matter what the reason is, Liu Yan's importance must be mentioned higher.
"Since you don't know it yourself, forget it."
"Get dressed up tomorrow and then come to the company to meet me."
Sister Huang suddenly said this. He paused and then changed his words, "I understand that you are so busy dressing up, so go to Director Wang's Yishu Company by yourself."
"Just inform me of the results after you come out of Director Wang's company."
"I won't go with you."
"Okay." Although Liu Yan wanted her manager to accompany her to embolden her, but when she heard what her manager said, she did not dare to make the request, so she could only stay in confusion. The response was in agreement.
The manager, Sister Huang, was a little worried, and then she explained a lot on the phone before ending the call.
Liu Yan looked at his phone blankly, feeling his heart beating violently. She knows.
All this is not a dream, it is real.
I was suddenly surprised and overwhelmed.
The next day, Liu Yan came to Yishu Company with anxiety and met Wang Shu.
"Hello, Director Wang, I am Liu Yan." Liu Yan knocked on the door and walked into the audition room, introducing himself respectfully.
Wang Shu's eyes lit up when he looked at Liu Yan's tight-fitting dress that highlighted her figure, and then responded with a smile: "Hello."
Seeing Liu Yanwei cowering and not daring to speak casually, he then said softly: "I'm looking for you. There is a role for the second female lead."
"I think it suits you very well, so I called you Come here."
Liu Yan subconsciously wanted to answer: "Does Director Wang know me?"
Then he thought of the lessons learned from his previous interview with Chen Kaige and kept this doubt in his heart.
First he took a deep breath, and then responded with a choked voice: "Thank you, Director Wang, for your support. I will work hard to play the role well and will not let Director Wang down."
Wang Shu looked at Liu Yan's trembling and frightened look, and couldn't help but joke: "I just asked you to come over and take a look, but I didn't confirm that you would play the second female lead. Are you sure that you are grateful?"< br>
"Huh?" After hearing this, Liu Yan suddenly blushed and stood there at a loss.
"Director Wang, me." She opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but she didn't know how to speak, and she was sweating profusely.
Seeing this, Wang Shu already regretted the joke.
Liu Yan was now alone with him in the audition room. When he came in, he was not only flushed but also sweating profusely. If someone saw him like this, anyone would misunderstand him.
Hard to bear.
"Haha." He smiled quickly and said, "I'm just kidding you. Since I've called you here, I'm going to give you the role of the second female lead, otherwise I wouldn't have called you here."
In just a short moment, her mood went from heaven to hell and back to heaven. Liu Yan's mood reversed and reversed again. She opened her mouth, and thousands of words gathered into the first sentence: "Thank you. With Director Wang’s support, I will definitely play the role well.”
As a host, even though she is still a newcomer, she still has some skills in answering questions.
Just facing Wang Shu, facing this critical moment when she realized that her life might change, she did not dare to say much.
Worrying that if you say too much, you will be wrong, you will ruin your opportunity.
Wang Shu saw Liu Yan's performance in his eyes and could understand her confusion, so he smiled and said, "I happened to see you hosting a show before."
"Well Good job hosting."
"So this is how Director Wang noticed me?" When Liu Yan heard this, his face turned red again.
Most of the programs she hosted featured her wearing heavy makeup and sexy costumes.
Since Wang Shu has seen it, he must have seen a similar scene.
This made her feel embarrassed.
But soon, she forced herself to calm down again.
“What if?” Wang Shu asked with a smile.
Liu Yan was speechless when he heard the words, then secretly glanced at Wang Shu, and said hesitantly: "I thought Director Wang..."
"You only found out about me because of my interview with Director Chen."
"Director Chen? What Director Chen?" Wang Shu asked, pretending not to know.
"." Liu Yan looked at Wang Shu who seemed to really know nothing about this matter, and immediately regretted his words.
Although Wang Shu stepped on "The Promise" during an interview, there are rumors in the world that Wang Shu and Chen Kaige are not getting along.
But. How can there be endless fighting and killing in the world?
Maybe the two of them not only shook hands and made peace, but also had a pretty good relationship?
Liu Yan looked at Wang Shu looking at him in confusion, and opened his mouth hesitantly, knowing that he had no choice but to say it. Then his heart suddenly crossed, and he gritted his teeth and told the story of an interview with Chen Kaige at the end of last year. Chen Kaige recounted the incident that caused Chen Kaige to become furious.
After hearing this, Wang Shu pretended to be amused, and then joked: "Many people outside are saying that I have conflicts with Director Chen. Now if I use you to play the second female lead, wouldn't I be giving the best to others?" Director Chen put on the eye drops, which further confirmed the rumor that Director Chen and I were in conflict?”
“Director Wang...not...me” Liu Yan burst into tears when he heard this and wanted to explain. Don't know where to start.
Wang Shu looked at Liu Yan with his eyes red and tears welling up in his eyes, and wondered why he couldn't help but make a joke again?
Blushing, sweating, red eyes, crying, these elements come together.
If Liu Yan ran out crying now, he would not be able to wash himself away even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Seeing Wang Shu's silence, Liu Yan couldn't help but sink to the bottom of her heart. She was thinking impatiently, trying to figure out how to change the situation in front of her.
Being able to play the second female lead in Wang Shu’s movie is a huge opportunity for her.
She really didn't want to mess up.
Really don’t want to miss it!
Last time I finally got the opportunity to interview director Chen Kaige, but not only did I mess up, I also offended Chen Kaige.
This time, another huge opportunity was in front of me, but because of Chen Kaige, I watched it go away from me.
At this moment, Liu Yan collapsed.
If God could give her a chance to go back to the time when she was interviewing Chen Kaige, not only would she not ask those mindless questions again, she would even give Chen Kaige a kiss without any problem.
"Director Wang." She thought about it over and over, but couldn't think of a good way. Suddenly her head felt hot, and she reached out to grab Wang Shu's arm. Her eyes full of water mist stared at Wang Shu eagerly, and her voice sounded like she was crying. Pleading.
Wang Shu looked at Liu Yan's appearance and said that it was unnecessary.
He knew that although Liu Yan had been frightened for a while after screwing up Chen Kaige's interview, the light had not given up on her.
Not only did he not give up, he started to praise her at the end of this year.
That is, right now, there is no improvement.
In October, Liu Yan will participate in the recording of the variety show "Saturday Fun" launched by Shaanxi TV, where he will act as a clown to Wu Zongxian and Oudi.
Then he will also host an online program called "Beauty Tuberose". Whenever his popularity declines, Liu Yan will perform sexy dances under the instructions of the director.
In fact, Liu Yan’s current hosting style is mainly sexy and hot.
And this is why she has the opportunity to host.
Without these, she wouldn't even have the chance to host.
Liu Yan was wearing a sexy dress, and she was so close to Wang Shu that she could catch Wang Shu's eyes even if he didn't glance at her.
In 2006, Liu Yan was only 26 years old, still very young and tender.
At this moment.
Liu Yan's watery eyes looked at Wang Shu, as if he had realized something, a blush suddenly appeared on his face.
However, she did not change her posture to cover up, but remained the same...
The past two days have been really busy, and I will start regular double updates tomorrow.
