Chapter 288 I only have myself to blame
Movie actors mainly rely on the rapid popularity of films directed by great directors.
Because, no matter whether it is fame or strength, great directors have gold content.
Tang Wei, for example, was a little-known newcomer before he starred in "Lust, Caution" directed by Li Eucalyptus.
After that, he became famous in one fell swoop.
Another example is Zhang Ziyi, who was also a newcomer before meeting Zhang Yimou.
Selected by Zhang Yimou to star in "My Father and Mother", she won the Best Actress Award at the Popular Hundred Flowers Awards.
Then Li Eu prepared to film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The original role of Yu Jiao Long was Shu Qi. The agent at the time, Wen Jun, felt that the filming time was too long and delayed the advertising endorsement, so he rejected Li Eu. invitation.
Then, Zhang Yimou recommended Zhang Ziyi to audition.
Li Jin tried a lot of actors, but Zhang Ziyi was the only one who was tired of the hardships and could give Yu Jiao Long a larger space. For this reason, Li Jin specially adjusted the role of Yu Jiao Long in the film. The role of Zhang Ziyi in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Then, Zhang Ziyi starred in the Hollywood movie "Rush Hour 2" with Chen Long.
On the other hand, actors appear in films directed by other small directors. The reality is that no matter how much they act, there will be few splashes.
Of course, Huang Boy became famous in "Crazy Stone" directed by Ning Hao.
Ning Hao was indeed a new director at the time.
Yes, this situation is rare.
What's more, even a new actor can become famous instantly by starring in a movie by a famous director.
For example, Star Girl, Mou Girl, etc. are examples.
As an actor, it is of great benefit to be able to star in films shot by great directors.
Many actors compete for opportunities.
Another example is Zhang Ziyi.
When Li Yu directed "Lust, Caution", it was a drama with color, and Zhang Ziyi rushed to act in it, but she was rejected by Li Yu so it didn't happen.
Although Deng Chao hooked up with Hua Yi, he was not favored by Feng Xiaogang because of some manipulations.
On the other side, because Sun Li is familiar with Wang Shu, she can be considered to be on the line with Wang Shu.
So, looking at the entire entertainment industry, only Wang Shu is most likely to support him in the film industry.
Sun Li knew this and was silent.
She thought about it over and over at home these days, and realized that only Wang Shu could finally help her develop in the film industry.
"Space Traveler" was released, and her popularity soared.
Just a huge increase is one thing. Her net worth has indeed increased as a result, and she has also had more endorsements and commercial activities.
But no well-known producer asked her to collaborate in a movie.
Some are just little-known small crews. The movies produced by such crews are usually bad movies. Not only will it not help them, but they will suffer a lot from them.
For movies produced by well-known producers and directors, the selection of actors is basically linked to personal connections.
She has no connections in the film industry, so it is difficult for her to find cooperation.
Since "Time Traveler", no high-quality movie roles have come to my door.
Sun Li has already realized that even if she becomes famous in the film industry through "Space Traveler", big directors like Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, etc. will not ask her to act.
Unless she brings capital into the group and is one of the investors.
Otherwise, the chances are slim.
This is a very real problem.
She and Deng Chao are just actors and have no film resources.
If you want to squeeze into the film industry and go further, you can only work hard.
Sun Li struggled for a moment and sighed: "Let's see later. There are many actors in the industry who want to work with Director Wang, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to work with him again in the future."
< br>
When Deng Chao heard this, his expression was slightly startled, and he suddenly realized that Sun Li was right.
Wang Shu is now a big director, and actors in the entire entertainment industry who want to work with him can queue up for miles.
Just like Mei Ting, even if she gets zero pay, she still rushes to cooperate with Wang Shu.
Although Sun Li has cooperated with Wang Shu before, Wang Shu will have more and more choices in the future, and it is not necessarily certain that he will cooperate with Sun Li again.
But he didn’t want to miss Wang Shu’s network.
Then he laughed dryly and said: "So. I just said that I want to establish a relationship with Director Wang. As long as the relationship is in place, he will naturally think of us two when he directs a movie in the future."
Deng Chao's words are true. According to the evidence, looking at the entire entertainment industry, most of the great directors will cooperate with actors they are familiar with.
For great directors, actors who are familiar with each other know everything about them, so it saves trouble, effort and worry when working together.
This is a two-way choice.
Of course Sun Li understands this truth, but.
She said: "There are many actors who want to have a good relationship with Director Wang. It's not like you don't know about this. How can it be so easy to establish a relationship with Director Wang as you said?"
Does Deng Chao also know? Easy, he said with a smile: "We are actors, and we can only get better opportunities if we are favored by big directors."
"I am just explaining this truth."
"In the future we can If we can't gain a foothold in the film industry, it depends on our efforts."
"Well! Let's work together!" Sun Li responded immediately as she sensed Deng Chao's yearning for the film industry.
"Work hard together!" Deng Chao echoed, then asked, changing the subject, "We haven't seen you for a while, do you miss me?"
When Sun Li heard this, she subconsciously wanted to answer or not, but in her mind Suddenly thinking that Deng Chao's audition was probably because of her, the guilt arose again. He pursed his lips and responded softly: "Yes!"
"Haha, I didn't miss you." Hearing this, Deng Chao deliberately teased Sun Li.
When Sun Li heard this, combined with the guilt and tangled emotions in her heart, her face turned dark instantly even though she knew that Deng Chao was joking.
She said in a cold voice: "If you don't want to, don't want to. Goodbye!"
"Haha, don't be angry, I was joking with you." Deng Chao quickly begged for mercy.
Sun Li was still not in a good mood at the moment. She didn't show it and said softly: "I'm not angry, but I still have things to do."
"Okay, You're busy, I won't disturb you anymore." Deng Chao said with a smile.
Sun Li was not in the capital at the moment due to business activities, and Deng Chao did not see her after returning to the capital.
"Well, goodbye." Sun Li said softly.
"Goodbye." Deng Chao answered with a smile.
Both of them, hang up the phone.
Sun Li was in a daze for a while after hanging up the phone with Deng Chao, and then found Wang Shu's phone number and wanted to call it, but was afraid of embarrassment and did not dare to call it. She kept struggling with it.
Deng Chao is her boyfriend, and she was clearly alienating Wang Shu last time.
Thinking about it from Wang Shu’s perspective, I was already a little uncomfortable giving Deng Chao an audition opportunity because of her relationship, let alone a role.
This, combined with her distance, made the uncomfortable feelings even more intense.
Therefore, it is human nature to eliminate Deng Chao in the first round. Sun Li did not blame Wang Shu in her heart, nor did she complain.
She just blames herself.
After struggling for a long time, I finally didn’t dial Wang Shu’s mobile phone number.
Wang Shu returned home after a day's work and received a call from Chen Hao.
"Director Wang, I heard that in the new play you are preparing, Mei Ting will be the heroine?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.
"Sister Yan's information is not well-informed, and you only know it now?" Wang Shu teased after hearing this.
"Haha." Chen Hao laughed and joked, "I feel a lot of pressure when you praise Mei Ting so much."
Mei Ting is now a contracted artist of Chengtian , and Chen Hao is currently the first sister of Chengtian.
If Mei Ting is too outstanding in the entertainment industry, she will be a bit more attractive than Chen Hao.
However, Chen Hao didn't care too much about this, because Mei Ting's resources were given by Wang Shu, not Chengtian's resources.
If Mei Ting’s film resources were given by Cheng Tian, then she would not be calm.
Resources are limited, and artists from the same company are often in a competitive relationship.
As the first sister of Chengtian, Chen Hao naturally gives priority to Chengtian’s high-quality resources.
And if Mei Ting takes away these resources, it will be equivalent to harming her interests.
This is also the reason why many entertainment companies are fighting openly and secretly, and there can only be one sister.
A first sister means that all resources will be given priority to her ideas. If she is not interested, these resources will be distributed to other artists in the company.
On the contrary, if there is competition, it is impossible to have this kind of treatment.
"Sister Hao is really good at joking." Wang Shu laughed, knowing that Chen Hao was joking, and then changed the subject and said: "I heard that Sister Hao will star in the movie "" directed by Director Wu. "Red Cliff"?
Of course he knew that Chen Hao did not appear in "Red Cliff", but this happened later.
At this stage, since Cheng Tian and Ai Hui invested 20 million US dollars and accounted for 40% of the investment in "Red Cliff", Cheng Tian's actors were naturally recommended to join the cast.
As the first sister of Chengtian, Chen Hao is naturally included in this list.
"Well, originally I wanted to play Diao Chan, but the script was changed over and over again and the role was eliminated. Now I should be one of Da Qiao or Sun Shangxiang." Chen Hao answered.
“Isn’t it decided yet?” Wang Shu pretended not to know.
"The leading role has not yet been decided, let alone us supporting roles." Chen Hao complained.
“Is it so chaotic?” Wang Shu asked following these words.
“Alas!” Chen Hao sighed, “A big production involves too many aspects, so we can only wait.”
After finishing speaking, he sighed, “What? Movies like those made by Qiu Chou are not just shot, but there are no messy things."
After that, he continued, "You have invited Cheng Tian's artists to film. I am Cheng Tian. When will you consider your elder sister?”
"Whether it's zero salary or 100,000 yuan, it's easy to say."
Wang Shu and Chen Hao are friends, whether it is "The Tuner" or "Time Traveler", they held premieres before they were released. , Chen Hao rushed to the scene every time to support Wang Shu.
As Chengtian's first sister, Chen Hao didn't have to be like this, but she still dressed up to cheer for Wang Shu, which gave her enough face.
In addition, the two are also in contact from time to time.
Although we met very rarely, we exchanged text messages and chatted on the phone from time to time.
"There is no need to say this to Sister Chuan. I have been thinking about Sister Chuan in my heart. If there is a suitable role in the script, I will definitely find Sister Chuan." Wang Shu said beautifully.
“I just know that when I say these coaxing words, I just don’t give accurate words.” Chen Hao’s voice was filled with resentment.
Wang Shu sighed and said: "Sister Hao, I really didn't lie to you. I have been thinking of you in my heart."
"It's just that your image is too beautiful. There are really no roles suitable for you in these movies I filmed."
"If there were, I would have contacted you long ago."
Chen Hao also knew that Wang Shu's reason was irrefutable, because someone had told her the same thing.
Because of her glamorous image, her acting career was limited.
Wang Shu said quietly: "What about "The Tuner"? I should be suitable for it, right?"
Wang Shu knew clearly that Chen Hao was talking about Jiang Wenli's role, and then said with a wry smile: " Sister Huan, weren’t you busy and had no schedule at that time?”
“And Teacher Jiang Wenli was available.”
Chen Hao knew how Jiang Wenli got the role of the heroine of "The Tuner", and also knew that her relationship with Wang Shu was relatively unfamiliar at that time, far from the level of special care, and as the first sister, it was impossible for her to go At that time, it was just a crew audition for a new director, so I missed it.
What she doesn’t know is that even if she goes, she will miss it.
Because Wang Shu values the acting skills more than the female villain in "The Tuner".
Chen Hao's acting skills are average and not enough to support this role.
In this matter, Chen Hao was sensible. She did not pester her anymore, but said with a smile, "What about the future? Are there any opportunities to cooperate in the future?"
"Of course!" Anyone can say nice things. Wang Shu directly gave the guarantee, then changed his tone, and then said, "I just said it just now, Sister Yu's image is too glamorous, and ordinary scripts are not suitable for you. . ”
“However, as long as there is a suitable role, I will definitely think of Sister Hao immediately.”
When Chen Hao heard this, he was already satisfied.
She is an artist from Chengtian, not from Wang Shu Company.
In addition, what Wang Shu said was right. Excessive expectations made her greedy.
However, she was still a little afraid in her heart, and then said: "You said that my image is beautiful, but how beautiful is it? I feel like other actresses?"
Wang Shu smiled and answered: "The fact is, Sister Hao is very beautiful."
"Okay!" Chen Hao sighed.
If it were any other aspect, she would think it was a compliment.
But in terms of the image of the actors, it is a bit uncomfortable.
Wang Shu comforted him at the right time and said: "Sister Hao is very beautiful. She is a rare beauty in the entertainment industry."
"It's just that her beauty is a bit gorgeous."
"This kind of beauty" Her beauty naturally captivates everyone in real life, but in movies her acting skills are limited.”
Pretty words are free, and Wang Shu can say as much as he wants.
When Chen Hao heard Wang Shu's relief, he felt much better, leaving only some helplessness.
She understood the meaning of these words, that she was very beautiful and good-looking.
But just because she is beautiful and good-looking, she does not match the image of many female characters in the crew, which limits her acting potential.
Chen Hao has known this for a long time. Nai He has such a face and cannot change it.
"Okay, you don't have to ask me to act." Chen Hao took over the topic at the right time, and then said, "When are you free, let's have a meal together?"
< br>"Tomorrow night?" Wang Shu asked first, and then said, "I will be very busy after that, and I may not have time for a month or two."
