Chapter 279 What do you think of me?
Yan Danchen and Zeng Li both understand this.
Because this kind of art film, which can go to the three major European films, is a springboard for actors like them to not only become famous, but also establish their status in the industry, and even enter the international stage.
This kind of opportunity is rare.
Not to mention appearing for free, there are many actors vying for it even if they offer money, or actively throw themselves into their arms, etc.
In order to get the role in the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Huang Xiaoming had to give money to Zhang Dabeard.
Not to mention it is an art film directed by Wang Shu and heading to the Venice Film Festival!
The three of them were chatting. Wang Shu, who returned home, received a call from Fan Binbin.
"Director Wang, we haven't gotten together since the New Year. Do you want to go have supper together?" Fan Binbin asked with a smile.
Wang Shu set out to pick up Sun Li to eat hot pot in the evening. After eating, he sent Sun Li home. It was only around nine o'clock in the evening.
When he heard this, he touched his stomach and politely declined: "Forget it, it's getting late, let's go to bed early."
He also knew the purpose of Fan Binbin's sudden call, which was nothing more than For the role in the new film.
After all, Fan Binbin’s trip to Berlin came back empty-handed.
As an actress and she wants to stand taller, she must be unwilling to do so.
In addition, just by walking on the red carpet in Berlin, she was called the fifth mainland actress to go international by the domestic media. She also really attracted the attention of the international media and opened up her international career. Market door.
Combined with these reasons, she is now eager to stand on the top three European stages again.
Furthermore, Wang Shu is a director who won the international best actress award at Cannes, and the works he has written and directed are different from "Apple".
If you can play the role, you may no longer leave empty-handed.
It is now March 2007, and Fan Binbin has been negotiating with Huayi to terminate the contract.
Wait until June, with the help of Mu Xiaoguang, she will successfully terminate the contract with Huayi, and then affiliate to Chengtian to build her own studio.
For her, if she happens to be able to star in an art film directed by Wang Shu that can go to the three major European films at this stage, no matter what the outcome is, it will be of great benefit to her career development after she establishes her own business.
Especially since she has decided to terminate her contract with Huayi.
The contract will expire in June, and the art film directed by Wang Shu will go to Venice in September.
In other words, if she can star in the film, her contract with Huayi will be terminated in June. After she establishes her own business, an art film directed by a great director will be released in Venice in September.
In time, they are connected.
After the contract was terminated, she immediately starred in an art film directed by the great director Wang Shu. All aspects were of great help to her.
Fan Binbin did not give up when he heard Wang Shu's polite refusal, but said with a smile: "It's still early, let's go have supper together, I'm at the intersection outside your house now."
"." Wang Shu was unexpected by these words. He really didn't expect Fan Binbin to be waiting outside the community, and then he responded, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
If Fan Binbin hadn't come, he could have declined politely, but if he refused again now, it would be extremely disrespectful.
"Okay, I'll wait." Fan Binbin said with a smile.
Wang Shu hung up the phone, got dressed and walked to the intersection outside the community. As soon as he looked up, he saw someone waving from a car parked on the roadside, and then walked over.
Fan Binbin looked at Wang Shu approaching with a smile and said quickly: "Get in the car."
Wang Shu took advantage of the situation and sat in Fan Binbin's car, and then was pulled by Fan Binbin to the place where he had late night snacks. .
“What can we eat?” Fan Binbin asked carefully.
"Whatever, I'm not hungry." Wang Shu said.
He had a hot pot meal with Sun Li before and was really not hungry.
Fan Binbin saw that what Wang Shu said did not seem to be false, so he ordered something casually.
When the food was put away and no one was around, Fan Binbin looked at Wang Shu and asked with beautiful eyes: "I haven't seen you for a while, do you miss me?"
"I think so." Wang Shu was not surprised by this and replied with a smile.
“Haha.” Fan Binbin grinned after hearing this.
Then he looked at Wang Shu and said in a low voice: "I miss you too."
If it were someone who doesn't care about men and women, if he heard a big star like Fan Binbin say this, he would have long ago It has become an animal that relies on its lower body to think.
Wang Shu smiled in his heart.
The famous host Xiao Cui said in an interview that Fan Binbin is shameless.
He also commented on Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan.
He said that Feng Xiaogang was responsible for doing the work and Xu Fan was responsible for the calculation.
This job does not mean working, but
Everyone in the circle knows that Feng Xiaogang plays messy, and Xu Fan also plays messy.
It’s just that Feng Xiaogang is in front and Xu Fan is behind.
Feng Xiaogang was messing around, but Xu Fan had no choice but to endure it for the sake of his money bag, and then he was also messing around.
"Really?" Although Wang Shu smiled in his heart, his face was full of surprise, and he even reacted excitedly.
“Of course!” Fan Binbin saw Wang Shu’s excitement in his eyes and raised his lips.
After finishing speaking, I felt that these two simple words were a bit pale, and then added: "I have always wanted to call you before, but I never had the chance, so this time I have time, I I went directly to your place."
When Wang Shu heard this, he immediately looked moved and said: "I have always wanted to call you, but I didn't call you after seeing the news."
The news here refers to Fan Binbin’s failure to win anything from the Berlin Film Festival.
It is a sad thing to make sacrifices for art but get nothing.
Although calling him at this time may be for comfort, it may also be adding salt to the wound.
Fan Binbin understood the meaning of Wang Shu's words and smiled back, saying: "It's okay."
After saying that, he continued, "I didn't have high hopes in the first place. Winning an award in Berlin is expected.”
Wang Shu smiled lightly in his heart when he heard this.
Although Fan Binbin said he didn't care much, he knew that the other party cared very much. It was just because he failed to win the prize that he found a way for her to step down.
Furthermore, with Fan Binbin’s acting skills, unless he is acting in his true colors, it would be really weird to win three awards in Europe.
Fan Binbin frowned slightly when he saw Wang Shumu not answering the question.
According to normal circumstances, shouldn’t Wang Shu have expressed something?
Why do you look like you are listening and waiting for her to continue?
Seeing that Wang Shu was silent, she continued: "However, being able to go to the Berlin Film Festival is also something worth being happy about."
Wang Shu nodded and smiled: "Just be happy. ."
"." Fan Binbin was speechless when she heard this. This was not the answer she wanted to hear.
She looked at Wang Shu, blinked, and then asked: "I heard that you have prepared an art film and plan to go to the Venice Film Festival?"
This matter has been spread. There was no need to hide it. Wang Shu nodded and said, "Yes, I do plan to go to Venice."
"However, we still don't know whether we will go or not." Fan Binbin immediately rolled her eyes when she heard the next sentence. She obviously didn't want to get entangled in this issue, but asked: "Where are the actors? Have they been selected? "
"No, the audition will officially start in two days." Even though he knew that Fan Binbin was asking questions knowingly, he answered seriously.
Fan Binbin smiled after hearing this, and then asked: "What do you think of me?"
Wang Shu heard this, pretending to look at her seriously, and then replied seriously: "Very well. Beautiful!”
When Fan Binbin heard this, she immediately pouted with a dissatisfied look on her face, and said, "I'm asking if there is any role suitable for me?"
She is one of the Four Danshuangbing, and the people around her Everyone supported her, and even though Hua Yi was targeting her, Mu Xiaoguang helped her negotiate the termination of the contract, and even helped her connect with resources in Hong Kong Island.
So Fan Binbin is still very crazy at this stage.
Her arrogance did not change until she repeatedly provoked Xiao Cui, and was banned after Xiao Cui exposed her contract.
Now, it is in the presence of a great director like Wang Shu that Fan Binbin behaves well-behaved and polite, but that would not be the case for someone who is not helpful to her.
For example, now, he is pretending to be angry and questioning Wang Shu. It is obvious that his arrogant nature has been exposed again.
Seeing that Fan Binbin finally asked what he wanted to ask, Wang Shu smiled and said, "No."
"Huh?" Fan Binbin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Wang Shu to refuse so decisively.
This no, in her opinion, is rejection.
She opened her mouth and quickly realized that her attitude was wrong. She quickly whispered again: "Director Wang, I."
Wang Shu waved his hand and continued as if he didn't care: "I only have one female role in this play, and it was already assigned to Mei Ting, so there is no suitable role for you."
Fan Binbin heard this. , she breathed a sigh of relief. She thought it was Wang Shu who rejected her without saying a word, but she didn't expect that there was another reason.
She also reacted at this moment. With Wang Shu's infatuated reaction before, it was obvious that she couldn't say such a thing.
"Mei Ting?" She looked surprised, this candidate was a bit beyond her expectation.
Wang Shu said with a smile: "We have worked together before when we were filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Her acting skills were good, and she said she would appear for free, so we decided to cast her directly."
When he heard that Mei Ting was willing to star in the film for free, Fan Binbin immediately thought of herself.
She had to star in the movie "Apple" even with zero pay.
“Not a penny?” Thinking of this, she asked subconsciously.
“One hundred thousand.” Wang Shu replied with a smile.
Fan Binbin opened his mouth when he heard this, already understanding the meaning of a hundred thousand salary.
It's nothing more than not paying a penny is unreasonable, so giving a salary of 100,000 yuan makes sense.
After thinking for a while, he asked with a smile: "Director Wang, if there is an actor who is also willing to star in the film for zero pay, will you change the role?"
She knows that Wang Shu is filming In "The Witch's Suit", Hao Su was replaced by Zhou Xun. Although the reason was Hao Su, he had done this kind of thing after all.
"Uh, no." Wang Shu guessed what Fan Binbin was thinking and answered directly.
As if knowing that Wang Shu would say this, Fan Binbin smiled, and then said: "What if... I said that I am willing to star for zero pay?"
"Well, this is not a matter of whether you are willing to star for zero pay, but I have already signed a contract with Chengtian." Wang Shu said truthfully.
"Mei Ting is an artist from Chengtian?" Fan Binbin didn't pay attention to this and really didn't know about it, so he asked in surprise.
"Yes." Wang Shu nodded.
Hearing this, Fan Binbin fell silent.
Before this, Chengtian had contacted her and reached an intention to cooperate. She would cooperate with Chengtian when the contract with Huayi was terminated.
If they compete for Mei Ting's role at this time, the meaning is not only to offend Mei Ting, but also to offend other artists in Chengtian.
Also, it will make it difficult for Wang Jinghua.
It’s just that I’m not willing to give in.
“Is there really only one female character?” Fan Binbin asked with wide eyes.
When she thought about it, with Wang Shu's infatuated look, as long as she showed her attitude, the other party would definitely not refuse.
Wang Shu explained with a smile: "This is a man's drama. The main perspective is men. There is really only one important female character, and the others are supporting roles."
Fan Binbin's eyes changed when he heard this. There was a moment of disappointment.
She thought that she would be able to get the role nine times out of ten after having a late-night meal today, but unexpectedly, there was a deviation.
Thinking about it now, the only blame is that it was too late to get the news and it was too late to call Wang Shu.
It might be different if we rush ahead of Mei Ting.
She suddenly had doubts: "Didn't you say you would only audition in two days? Why have you signed a contract with Mei Ting now?"
Of course Wang Shu would not answer this question truthfully, he said : "The audition does not officially start until two days later, but it is mainly for male roles."
"There is only one female role, so there is no need to be so troublesome."
Fan Binbin understood what Wang Shu meant, With a sigh in his heart, he lit up a cigarette and started smoking.
Most of the female artists in the entertainment industry smoke, whether it is Fan Binbin, Zhou Xun, Qin Hailu, Zhou Haiwei, etc. all smoke.
However, after Zhou Haiwei suffered severe pharyngitis due to smoking, he quit the smoking habit.
According to her, she learned to smoke because of filming needs when she was young.
Then I got into the habit of smoking.
Fan Binbin took a puff of the cigarette and saw Wang Shu looking straight at her. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed and quickly put out the cigarette in his hand as his face became hot.
She knows that Wang Shu does not smoke, and now she not only smokes in front of Wang Shu, but also lets Wang Shu breathe second-hand smoke.
I was in a daze just now, and I couldn't help but take out my cigarette and light it.
It’s very embarrassing now.
Wang Shu smiled and said: "If you want to smoke, you can smoke, it will be fine."
"No." Fan Binbin responded with a dry smile, and then explained, "Actually, I I don’t smoke much, I just smoke occasionally.”
Wang Shu nodded, although he didn’t believe these nonsense at all, but he seemed to believe it on the surface.
Fan Binbin didn't eat much in order to stay in shape, and Wang Shu didn't eat much because he wasn't hungry.
After a while, the supper was over.
"I drank, you drive."
Back at the parking spot, Fan Binbin threw the car keys to Wang Shu and said with a smile.
"Okay." Wang Shu took the key.
He only drank a few drinks and did not drink. For safety reasons, he was indeed more suitable to drive than Fan Binbin.
