Chapter 365 Let’s make an appointment together
“Then why do we still need to consider it?” Shu Chang was confused.
"Because of "Kung Fu King"." Liu Yifei told the truth, "I am now starring in this co-production, and the team said that it would not be good if I auditioned."
Shu Advocate. Got it.
This is to say that because of his appearance in "The King of Kung Fu", his status as a celebrity has been elevated, and it is just when "The King of Kung Fu" is about to be released.
Going for an audition right now will not only lower your ranking, but may also have an impact on "The King of Kung Fu".
"The King of Kung Fu" brings together Chen Long and Jet Li, and is another Sino-US co-production.
The publicity is much higher than that of "Travel to Taipei" that Wang Shu is preparing. Liu Yifei auditioned for "Travel to Taipei" as the heroine, which is lowering the quality of "Kung Fu King" , instead of helping "The King of Kung Fu" catch up with the popularity of "Travel to Taipei".
If Wang Shu directly invites Liu Yifei to play the role in "Travel to Taipei", then it will highlight the strong character of "The King of Kung Fu" and Liu Yifei's own reputation.
But if you go to audition and compete, the taste will be different.
Liu Yifei and Hua Yi only cooperated on a film contract and did not involve an agency contract.
After rejecting Huayi, she signed a global agency contract with the American William Morris Agency, becoming the company's second Chinese actress.
William Morris Agency is one of the three major agency companies in the United States, with many international superstars under its umbrella.
The entertainment industry in this era is very chaotic.
Not only is it chaotic, even some popular first-line actors have to lower their stature and behave themselves.
Drinking with a big boss or something like that is a common thing.
A fallen boss from a mountain town once said in his memoirs that any actress who came to his territory had to roll on the bed.
The ecology has changed, starting with the entry of capital.
Actually, the real reason for Liu Yifei’s silence was Chen Jinfei’s injury.
In 2008, the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in the United States, causing damage to the domestic real estate industry.
In March of this year, Evergrande Real Estate launched a road show on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. As the financial crisis swept the world, Evergrande's listing and financing plan was shelved, with a funding gap of tens of billions.
Xu Tie has the habit of inviting celebrities to help with openings. He met Yang Cheng through a certain actress, and then hooked up with New World Chairman Zheng Yutong and Liu Luanxiong and other members of the D Conference to get capital injections and tide over the difficulties.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why mainland real estate developers have more than one belt, but Fan Binbin is involved with the belt.
As the market economy improved in 2009, Evergrande landed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in November 2009.
Then take off.
Chen Jinfei's main business is also real estate, which was also hit hard by the global financial crisis.
The domestic real estate industry will indeed take off due to the economic boom, but the global financial crisis triggered by the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis is so severe that the whole world has been affected.
Liu Yifei's career has been "on hold" for the past two years. In addition to being spotted wearing fake dresses, many of the activities she participated in included Chen Long, Yang Cheng, Zheng Yutong, Liu Luanxiong and other Hong Kong celebrities.
Liu Yifei came out to film again in early 2010. By this time, the real estate industry had gone through the cold winter, and boss Chen Jinfei and Chen were rich again.
Hong Kong Island is the choice.
Boss Chen just happened to have connections in the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island, and Liu Yifei subsequently obtained resources on Hong Kong Island. Of course, in addition to Hong Kong Island resources, there are also Beijing production resources and foreign resources through Chen Jinfei’s personal connections.
"Okay." Shu Chang agreed without saying much.
If it were another actor, seeing a high-quality resource like "Taipei Trip", he would naturally want to give it a try.
Liu Yifei, who has no shortage of resources, does not need to do this.
In Shu Chang's eyes, Liu Yifei had people around her who would deliver resources directly to her hands. She didn't need to work hard like she did, and there was no need to put down her body.
"Perform your best and try to get the role." Liu Yifei encouraged with a smile, and then added, "As for me, I probably won't go to the audition."
Actually, Liu Yifei has no intention of going to the audition. In addition to the consideration of the title and "The King of Kung Fu", she also knew that there was no suitable role for her in "Travel to Taipei".
The heroine is a pregnant woman. Her age and temperament do not match her. Even if she goes to audition, she cannot get the role.
The second female lead is a little girl, who also has no connection with her.
The remaining high school girl characters are indeed similar in age to her.
However, Liu Yifei has already starred in "The King of Kung Fu", a Sino-US co-production starring Jet Li and Chen Long. She has already risen to this level, so how can she go to audition for "Travel to Taipei"? A supporting role?
As for Shu Chang, her goal is not the heroine, but the supporting role of a high school student in the play.
Shu Chang is self-aware that unless Wang Shu favors her, she will not have the strength to compete for the role of the heroine.
"You didn't come to the scene, so you don't know. There are many people auditioning. Although I passed the preliminary audition, I still don't know." Shu Chang sighed.
Regarding this, even if Liu Yifei did not go to the scene, she would have expected it. She said with relief: "That's why I have to perform well and try to defeat all my competitors!"
Shu Chang continued to sigh: "Others will also do well. Even if you try hard, you can't compete in the end."
"Uh" This is the truth. Liu Yifei was speechless and said helplessly, "What can I do?"
"Hmm" Shu Chang said. After thinking about it, he jokingly said, "How about we call Director Wang out for a meal together? Win the role at the wine table?!"
"Huh? Us?" Liu Yifei raised her eyes. Doubtful, as if to say, what does your audition have to do with me?
Why is it not you who organize a dinner party with Wang Shu alone, but us?
"Of course!" Shu Chang said hehely, "It is very difficult for me to ask Director Wang out on my own, but it will be different with you."
"The two of us together, I can definitely get Director Wang out."
"Uh" Liu Yifei opened her mouth, "I have something else to do. I'm sorry."
"Seeing Liu Yifei is not enough. My friend, Shu Chang shouted angrily.
"Haha." Liu Yifei kept laughing and said quickly, "Okay, okay, let's date him together."
"With the two of us working together, we are guaranteed to date Wang Shu!"
"Are you so confident? Why do I suddenly have a bad premonition?" Shu Chang felt happy at first when he heard Liu Yifei agreed, and then felt something was wrong.
Liu Yifei answered with confidence, "Don't worry, Changchang, the two of us will work together to invite Wang Shu!"
She was so confident because Wang Shu had said to invite her before For dinner, this promise has not yet been fulfilled.
