Chapter 150 Xiang Yang: "Sissi, go and audition for "Black Swan"" (Seeking confirmation!)
Liu Qianqian, Liu Xiaoli and Su Chang finished dinner together and sat on the sofa in the living room Picked up the phone.
After mentally calculating the time in Paris, she pursed her lips and dialed Xiangyang's number.
On the other end, while reading through Darren's script, a call came in.
After frowning and glancing at the name, Xiangyang answered the call without even thinking about it. His movements were faster than his brain.
"What are you doing?"
As soon as the call was connected, Liu Qianqian's moving voice came over.
Seeing that his girlfriend was so confident in her investigation, Xiang Yang couldn't help but smile, "I'm reading the script."
"Script? What script?"
"Uh, wait for me. Take a look." Xiang Yang didn't want to hide anything. He turned to the first page of the script, took a look and said, "Natalie's "Black Swan""
"Natalie?" Hearing this, Liu Qianqian's mind turned around for a moment, and she immediately asked happily: "That's the Natalie I know! Oh my god, are you kidding?"
"Yes, didn't I mention that the director named Darren came to see me before? It was decided today."
"Hehe, I got excited and forgot about it."
Liu Qianqian squinted her eyes and her mouth was filled with joy. Facing the puzzled looks of Liu Xiaoli and Su Chang, she raised her proud chin and happily shared with them:
"Xiang Yang has won another Hollywood cooperation. , this time with Natalie Portman.”
"Natalie Portman!" Su Chang exclaimed.
Liu Xiaoli frowned.
Although Natalie Portman did not have the blessing of a movie queen at this time, she is also a well-known movie star in Hollywood. After Xiang Yanggang worked with Marion Cotillard on the front foot, another famous movie star came to his door on the back foot.
It was impossible for her not to think about it.
The key is that what makes her think more is more than that. Why is her daughter's tone of saying this even more joyful than after buying a house just now?
Is it really a basin of water that has been poured out?
"Then why didn't you take the initiative to report to me?" Liu Qianqian asked Xiang Yang jokingly on the phone.
"I haven't signed the contract yet. I thought I'd tell you after the contract is signed." Xiang Yang replied in a very calm tone.
Liu Qianqian snorted displeasedly and reluctantly accepted.
Xiang Yang didn't care about his girlfriend's protest, and continued to explain: "The movie won't start shooting until the end of the year, and the actors haven't been decided yet, and the crew is said to be very tight on funds, otherwise it wouldn't be my turn. .”
"Don't always show your modesty in front of me, you hypocritical bastard." Liu Qianqian blurted out a sentence to Xiang Yang.
But it's okay if she didn't say it. Once she said it, the tenderness and sweetness between the lovers was so real that Su Chang and Liu Xiaoli took another bite of 'dog food' after the tea break. .
I’m so tired and panicked.
“To be honest,” Xiang Yang licked the corner of his mouth, “Sissi, how about I help you ask if you need an actor who knows ballet? How about you go and audition.”
"Should I audition?"
At this time, Liu Qianqian was surprised.
She was very surprised by her boyfriend's sudden proposal.
"You haven't studied ballet since you were a child. They are going to start auditions anyway, so it's always a good idea to try. You won't get the main role for sure, but uh... I haven't read the other scripts yet, How about I fax you a copy and see if there are any characters you are interested in?"
"Can I really do that?"
Liu Qianqian blinked in confusion.
I'm so excited. How could I not be excited to be able to participate in a movie like this?
If Liu Qianqian’s biggest gain from participating in "Midnight in Paris" is to say, from the perspective of an outsider, she would definitely think that she successfully participated in a Hollywood star-studded movie after the sequel to "The King of Kung Fu". Although the importance of the role is not as important as that of International Chapter's "Memoirs", the amount of scenes cannot keep up with her guest appearance in "Rush Hour 2".
But it can be considered a good development in Hollywood.
It is actually not easy for Chinese actresses to appear in Hollywood movies.
In addition to the international chapter, Li Binbin has to wait until the 2011 "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" after the transformation, Fan Xiaopang is in the 2014 "X-Men: Days of Future Past", and Jing Tian is in 2017’s “Kong: Skull Island.”
But as a person involved, Liu Qianqian's feelings are not so limited.
Let’s put aside Colin Firth’s delicate but natural and smooth acting skills, and the three-point tenderness and four-point romance in Marion Cotillard’s eyes.
It was Emma Stone's uninhibited performance that also made her realize the gap between herself and the other party.
“It’s always good to give it a try.”
Xiang Yang, who didn’t think much about other aspects, encouraged casually: “Have you not worked with the French goddess Marion? Why are you still afraid of Portman?”
"That's different!" Liu Qianqian glanced at Su Chang and Liu Xiaoli and muttered while holding the phone.
"Well, that's true, Marion is more charming." Xiang Yang made a fair comment.
Looking at Natalie Portman from a close distance, he felt that she was too thin, a bit like the supermodels in the background, except for the skeleton, she was just the skeleton, which can give men a good impression. None of the mellowness.
But when he thought that the other person was losing weight for this role, he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart, 18 pounds, tut tut.
"Xiang Yang." Xiang Yang While he was still commenting here, the warm and angry sound on the phone interrupted his thoughts. He quickly smiled and said: "But they are not as good as you in my eyes."
"Huh, only a ghost will believe you."
"The female ghost of 'Akane'"
"."
Finding that the other party didn't like the homophonic joke he was playing, Xiang Yang He coughed lightly and straightened his attitude: "Okay, I won't joke with you, but I really think I can give it a try. What I learn must be applied and understood in practice."
"I know"
After chatting for a while, Liu Qianqian hung up the phone.
Blinking and staring at the phone with mixed emotions, she was stunned for a while, and finally sighed that Xiang Yang was really big-hearted. At the same time, she noticed the doubtful looks of Liu Xiaoli and Su Chang from the corner of her eye.
After calming down her emotions, she said softly: "Mom Xiangyang said that she recommended a script to me and asked me to try it."
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli and Su Chang said to each other After taking a look, the reactions were mixed.
When Liu Xiaoli turned around, her voice was a little surprised, "Script? From Hollywood?"
And Su Chang jumped up from the sofa with an exclamation, "Oh my God, Sissy, you Jia Xiangyang won’t recommend you to go make a movie with Natalie, right?”
She grabbed Sissi’s hand and looked at Liu Xiaoli with joy, “Auntie, Xiangyang is so awesome! "Really?"
"Oh, you just recommended me to audition." Liu Qianqian's cheeks were slightly red, and her friend's words "Your family is Xiangyang" made her feel warm.
"Hmph, stop pretending in front of me." Seeing Liu Qianqian's shy look, Su Chang's eyes flashed with amusement.
She knew very well how far Liu Qianqian and Xiang Yang had developed.
Hearing Liu Qianqian’s shy description of the ‘secret that cannot be told’ between her and Xiang Yang in the workplace last night, she couldn’t even imagine how shameful the scene was at that time.
Liu Xiaoli also came to her senses for a moment. After putting down her water glass and being silent for a long time, she had to admit in her heart that even if it was just an audition opportunity, it was something that no one else would dare to think of.
She wanted her daughter to focus on the big screen and transition to Hollywood. How could she not understand why Su Chang was so excited?
"It may just be a small role. Xiang Yang said that the main role has been divided up." Liu Qianqian looked at her mother and pursed her lips, "And even if she passes the audition, the pay will not be very high."
"Sissi, don't think about the pay."
Su Chang, who was able to participate in a Hollywood production for her friend, pushed Liu Qianqian's arm.
It is an indisputable fact that actors in the Chinese film industry do not receive high salaries in Hollywood. Even among excellent actors, there are only a few who can gain a firm foothold in that land.
In addition to Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, other celebrities, such as Gong Li and Fa Ge, who Liu Qianqian can't catch up with at this time, only have a few million.
As for the international chapter, it was revealed that the salary for Cheng Long's guest appearance in "Rush Hour 2" was only US$1 million.
But for a Chinese-language film star who can star in a Hollywood production, who cares about the salary?
Liu Xiaoli also knew this very well. After staring at Liu Qianqian and Su Chang for a while, she sighed and said, "You two should be quiet for a while. I want to be quiet."
said When she said this, a sentence suddenly flashed in her mind.
Where is this kid Xiangyang? Will he have such a big influence?
Liu Qianqian, "Hey, I forgot to tell Xiang Yang about the house!"
"."Liu Xiaoli.
On the set in Shanghai, Fan Xiaopang was communicating with Chen Kexin, the director and producer of "October Besieged". She wanted to take a few days off and rush to Paris.
When faced with the main actor's request for leave, Chen Kexin agreed without even thinking.
To be honest, he originally disagreed. After all, he assembled nine famous domestic actors for this movie, but the two emotional clues inserted into the character played by Fan Xiaopang are the highlight of the entire movie.
A "year-old love" between an old man and his young wife, a "bad love" that lasted eight years.
After experiencing the dismal box office performance of "The Legend", this movie placed too much hope on him, but it turned out to be a bad start
Originally, the heavy rain delayed the set construction time, which delayed the crew for half a month. After finally turning on the camera, a heavy rain last night caused problems with the scene that was built in a hurry.
"Xiao Pang, I will give you 3 days at most." Chen Kexin, who knew that it would be useless to leave the other party on the set, said, if there was no problem with the set, he would definitely not agree to let Fan Xiaopang left the crew at this time.
But the sky was not beautiful, and she was not the only one who took advantage of this time to take time off to go out.
It is impossible for him to agree with others, but not with Fan Xiaopang.
"Thank you, Director Chen."
Fan Xiaopang said gratefully.
"Haha, we don't need to be so polite. But we have agreed that when the time comes for the promotion of "October Siege", you can be on call."
"Look at what you said, Director Chen, I must have done my best in publicity."
"Well, that's fine. Remember to bring some gifts back to your sister Wu when you go to Paris. Because of the movie. , She doesn’t have a good rest every night.”
"Don't worry, how could I forget Sister Wu."
Fan Xiaopang replied with a smile on his face.
“Go early and come back early, so as not to affect the shooting state.”
Chen Kexin gave her final instructions.
"Don't worry, I bought a ticket for tonight. I will be back soon after I finish handling things there." Fan Xiaopang said with a smile.
Soon, after successfully applying for leave, she got into her nanny car.
As soon as he got in the car, Fan Xiaopang took the mobile phone from his assistant and called Xiangyang.
She frowned when she heard a busy sound coming from her phone.
Why is this guy so difficult to date?
After consulting the information, in the early stage of filming "October Siege", due to heavy rain in Shanghai, there were problems with the set-up, and the filming was delayed for half a month.
