Chapter 452 It’s okay, I’ll recharge your phone bill
Deng Chao had a headache, but didn’t want to lose face, so he had to respond: “Okay, wait until Director Wang returns to China, and if there is a gap in his schedule, he can find an opportunity. , I will introduce you to him.”
There was room in his words, and he meant that Wang Shu would be introduced to me after he returned to the country.
It’s not up to him to say whether he has a schedule or not.
When the time came, he directly told An Yixuan that Wang Shu was not available, so he just put it off.
An Yixuan thought that Deng Chao really agreed, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she said sweetly: "Thank you, Brother Chao."
After all, he is from Baodao, and his spoken language has Baodao characteristics. Deng Chao's ears felt numb when he heard the whistling sound.
"It's okay." Deng Chao responded with a smile, and then continued to take vaccinations, "But my personal relationship with Director Wang is really not deep."
"This matter , I can only try, there is no guarantee whether it will succeed in the end."
"I know, Brother Chao~" An Yixuan blinked, as if you don't need to quibble anymore.
Seeing this, Deng Chao shook his head helplessly.
After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly realized why some people thought that he and Wang Shu had a good personal relationship.
The reason is most likely that in the past few years, Wang Daodao has rarely taken care of others in the form of personal relationships.
Except for Zhang Hanyu and Wang Shu’s friend Yang Wei, only he and Chen Kun got the role through their personal relationship.
As a result, a misunderstanding arose.
Thinking of this, Deng Chao couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
An Yixuan knew that she was asking for help and needed to thank others, so she immediately said: "Brother Chao, let's have supper after work in the evening, I'll treat you."
"Don't be so polite~" Deng Chao As soon as he heard it, he knew why An Yixuan was like this, and he immediately imitated An Yixuan's teasing way of speaking.
An Yixuan pouted and rolled her eyes when she heard this, and then said without any doubt: "Huh, no matter, let's have supper together tonight."
Deng Chao smiled when he saw this. Said: "Okay, if we finish work early in the evening, we will have supper together. If it is too late, forget it."
An Yixuan smiled when she heard Deng Chao agreed.
Deng Chao was in a state of excitement on the set, and then he started to tease An Yixuan in various ways.
It is not groundless that the scandal spread between the two during the filming of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword".
But because of An Yixuan's style and Deng Chao's character, the two did interact a lot on the set.
After chatting with An Yixuan for a while, Deng Chao took advantage of the free time to make a call to Sun Li.
The two of them chatted for a while, and then Deng Chao suddenly said: "Do you know that Director Wang won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director?"
"I just heard about it." Sun Li heard that Deng Chao When we talked about Wang Shu again, I felt a little strange in my heart.
But she is an actress after all, so she can handle it.
After finishing speaking, he added, "Many people are talking about this matter now, and I happened to hear it."
Deng Chao smiled when he heard the words, and then said: "Then you Did you call Director Wang to congratulate him?”
"Isn't it necessary?" Sun Li was speechless when she heard this.
After Wang Shu won an award, he eagerly called to congratulate him. Isn’t this too licking?
Sun Li didn’t want to lick Wang Shu, she wanted to stay on the same level as Wang Shu.
“Why is it not necessary?” Deng Chao criticized him with hatred, and then said, “We are all old people in this circle, and you don’t know that this circle pays attention to interpersonal relationships? "
"For example, in the previous drama "The Deer and the Cauldron", I was originally scheduled to star, but Huang Xiaoming stepped in and the role was lost."
"These bloody things tell us time and time again that connections, relationships, relationships, etc. are very important."
"Acting skills are not important."
"As long as there is a backstage, no matter how good your acting skills are, It’s not bad, and there is no lack of resources.”
“No matter how good your acting skills are, if you don’t have the resources and no one will praise you, it won’t help.”
The fourth-day double ice can be called the fourth-day double ice, and there are many people behind it.
What is even more obvious is that Jing Tian, no matter how mediocre his acting skills are, he can still have endless resources no matter how hard he attacks again and again.
On the contrary, actors like Chen Chuang (Fu Gui, Roaring Sky Dog) who have acting skills, no one praises them even if they have acting skills, and they are always lukewarm.
Another example is the actress Chen Shu and others who rejected Feng Xiaogang, but no one praised them and they were equally lukewarm.
But she married a rich man and lived a good life.
If you want to get ahead in the entertainment industry, you either have a background or connections.
Even Wang Baoqiang and others follow this gameplay.
Wang Baoqiang would not have had the good resources to appear in the public eye if Xu Zheng and Chen Sicheng had not taken advantage of him one after another, let alone becoming a director himself in the future.
Deng Chao then said, "So we need to maintain Director Wang's network."
"Director Wang is now an international director. If there is an opportunity in the future, he can star. A movie directed by the other party might be able to hit the international stage.”
"A play starring Director Wang is worth the results of more than ten or twenty years of hard work in the industry."
This is not nonsense, but is based on facts.
An actor like Deng Chao, even if he works for another ten or twenty years, will only be entertained domestically.
Even, it will go downhill with age.
As long as she stars in a movie directed by Wang Shu, it is possible to follow Zhang Ziyi's international path.
Therefore, being able to star in a movie directed by Wang Shu is equivalent to avoiding a detour of ten to twenty years.
For some actors, they can even achieve achievements that they could not achieve in their lifetime in the original timeline. Deng Chao continued chattering, "Besides, I'm sure that if you don't call Director Wang to say congratulations, others will definitely call Director Wang to say congratulations."
"And others They congratulated Director Wang, and the relationship with Director Wang was successfully established."
"If Director Wang returns to China to film, the casting will naturally be more inclined to them than to us."
"So. This is not a question of whether it is necessary, but if we don't do what others do, we will be left behind."
In short, it is involution.
However, Sun Li's mentality is different from Deng Chao's. She feels that no matter how others get involved, they can't compare to her relationship with Wang Shu.
It’s just that I can’t tell Deng Chaoming these things, I can only keep them in my heart.
After listening to Deng Chao’s long speech, Sun Li knew that it would be impossible if she didn’t call Wang Shu, and then joked: “International roaming is very expensive.”
Deng Chao immediately understood that Sun Li was joking, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll recharge your phone bill."
It's night in China, but it's almost morning here in the United States.
At dawn, the phone rang. Wang Shu was woken up by the ringtone. He glanced at Sister Shitou next to him. She was still sleeping. Then he picked up the phone and took a look and saw that it was Sun Li calling. phone number.
In order to avoid disturbing Sister Shitou, Wang Shu got up and went to the toilet.
While squatting in the pit and answering Sun Li’s call, things went exactly right.
"Hello." Wang Shu answered.
"Congratulations, you won the Golden Globe Award." Sun Li said with a smile.
Hearing Sun Li's voice, Wang Shu answered with a smile: "Haha, did you call me specifically to congratulate me?"
"Hmm~" Sun Li was noncommittal.
The two chatted for a while and almost finished talking about this matter. Sun Li asked: "Are you coming back for the New Year?"
"What? Miss me?" Wang Shu teased subconsciously.
“Speak seriously.” Sun Li snorted,
She didn’t say she thought about it or didn’t think about it.
“It depends on the situation.” Wang Shu said softly.
Lunar New Year’s Eve falls on January 25th.
The Berlin International Film Festival is from February 5th to 15th.
The Academy Awards are on February 22nd.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Shu would have enough time to return to China to celebrate the Lunar New Year, then go to the United States, and then go to Berlin from the United States.
This will make it easier for him to return to Los Angeles after the Berlin Film Festival.
Wang Shu planned exactly this way.
He planned to return to China early, then go back to his hometown to take his two elders to the capital for the New Year, and then send them back to his hometown after the New Year.
Let the two elders come to the capital to experience it first and see if they are used to living there, and then decide whether to move to the capital to settle down.
After all, he is now developing in Hollywood and not in the capital. If he directly brings his second elder to the capital, the second elder is not familiar with the capital, and he is not there to take care of him. After all, he will not worry about it. It is better to live in his hometown.
So, he is now preparing to bring the two elders to the capital to experience it.
Whether he will move to the capital or not will be decided after he returns to China.
"Is the schedule very tight?" Sun Li thought Wang Shu had a tight schedule and asked subconsciously.
Wang Shu explained: "At the Golden Globe Awards dinner, a producer from Hollywood invited me to direct a movie, and I agreed."
"We need to discuss related matters in detail later. Plus there are other jobs.”
“So whether or not to return to China depends on the situation.”
“Huh? Another Hollywood producer invites you to direct a movie?” Sun Li was already attracted by what Wang Shu said. She was surprised and curious and asked, "What script is it? Is it good?"
She knew that Wang Shu usually wrote and directed himself, but now he was directing from someone else's script, so there must be something special about his script.
Wang Shu heard Sun Li's curiosity and had to explain: "The script is adapted from the best-selling novel "Life of Pi" here in the United States, which is very famous here in the United States."
"Not only that, this script had already gone to many well-known directors in Hollywood before I took it on, and they all declined it because they thought it would not work well."
"I thought this script was challenging, so I took it. ”
After hearing Wang Shu’s explanation, Sun Li was shocked.
Especially when I heard that it was adapted from a best-selling American novel, and many well-known directors declined the project because they felt it was not good. I took the job because it felt challenging, and I felt in my heart that Wang Shu was so awesome.
While she thought Wang Shu was awesome, she asked with concern: "So many people have declined, do you have confidence?"
"Of course." Wang Shu answered with a smile. , "I have read the script and I am confident that I will make this movie well."
In fact, he just came back from the Golden Globe Awards dinner last night and had never touched the script at all, let alone read it. .
At most, we chatted for a while.
However, that doesn't stop him from talking nonsense.
"It seems you are really confident!" Sun Li breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Wang Shu's answer so casually.
After saying that, he said sincerely, "It's really amazing!"
"So many directors dare not shoot and politely refuse."
"Tree."
"They are not as powerful as you."
