Chapter 99: Breaking the Head
In the evening, Zhang Chen rode a horse on the grassland, waving his whip from time to time.
The whip struck the horse and made a crisp sound. The horse felt pain, neighed and ran faster.
Under Zhang Chen is a wild horse, wild and untamable, and he will get into trouble with Zhang Chen from time to time.
Occasionally he would throw Zhang Chen down when he lost his temper.
But Zhang Chen also has a stubborn temper, and the more frustrated he becomes, the braver he gets.
The joy of taming a wild horse is every adult male's favorite.
Of course, there are failures as well as successes.
As Huang Bo said at the award ceremony, he has never seen people riding horses, and this is the first time he has seen people riding horses.
After several rounds, the wild horse was finally tamed and lay in Zhang Chen's arms, breathing heavily.
Zhang Chen himself was very tired, panting, and had a thin layer of sweat on his body.
“I heard that you collaborated on a movie with New Line in Hollywood?” Fan Binbin likes to chat most during the intermission.
Zhang Chen glanced at the other party: "You are quite well informed, that is what happened."
"Then can I be the heroine?"
< br>Fan Binbin didn't hide it at all. She had been paying attention to Zhang Chen since she knew he was going to the United States. Sure enough, she got the chance.
Zhang Chen shook his head: "No, it's inappropriate, hiss~"
Before he finished speaking, Fan Binbin suddenly made a move, and Zhang Chen was taken advantage of.
"I just want to know, why am I not suitable?"
"Let go first~"
"I don't~"
"Auntie..."
"It's not that I don't need to care. We have such a good relationship. We have communicated so many times and we know each other's strengths and weaknesses, but this time it's really inappropriate.
This is I entered North America for the first time, so there was no room for error. Cheng Long had such a big hand and failed several times in his attempt to enter North America.
Cheng Long had Jiahe behind him. I have nothing.
There is only one chance. "Eden Lake" must be successful, and all details must be done to the best, so it is best for the protagonist to be a familiar face to North American audiences..."
Zhang Chen was so open and honest, Fan Binbin had nothing to say.
“Hmph~”
Little Zhang Chen finally regained his freedom.
Actually, he likes to use Fan Binbin. This girl needs to be good-looking, has a topic, has good box office appeal, and has passable acting skills.
The key is also for your own use.
Who doesn't like such an actress?
If it wasn’t to hit the North American market, but because of the two people’s in-depth and simple friendship, maybe I would have given it to her.
"Then who are you going to invite?"
"Zhang Ziyi or Gong Li, most likely Zhang Ziyi."
Gong Li's influence on the theory is now inferior to Zhang Ziyi's , otherwise the night banquet would not have been robbed of the role. It is probably because of this "Memoirs of a Geisha" that I was slapped very hard.
However, Zhang Ziyi is really strong this year. In August, her starring role in "Jasmine Blooms" premiered in Shanghai and won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress. Then "Hero", which was suppressed by Miramax for two years, was finally released in North America.
"Hero" is very popular. It was promoted in North America as starring Jet Li and directly won the weekend box office championship.
Moreover, Zhang Ziyi also starred in Process Long's "Rush Hour 2", and this year she also starred in "House of Flying Daggers" and "Purple Butterfly".
There is nothing wrong with saying that she is the most familiar Asian female face to North American audiences this year.
The age is also right, Gong Li is a bit older compared to the character.
"Why is it her again..."
Fan Damei is a little unhappy with the international chapter. She is so lucky.
I have been cheating since my debut.
Worked with Zhang Yimou, Tsui Hark, and Ang Lee, and then starred in Cheng Long's "Rush Hour 2". Although there is no Category A film festival award, the reputation is not weak at all.
At this stage, the most popular four-day double ice games combined are not enough for one person to play.
Zhang Chen quickly comforted: "Actually, you don't need to be jealous of her. Everyone's opportunities are different."
"Yes, I just watched the Buddha I worshiped every day send opportunities into her hands."
Why are you mentioning this again?
Zhang Chen sneered from the side, "Let's do this, I will show you the way..."
"What?" Fan Binbin stared at her beautiful eyes.
"Sit up." Zhang Chen pointed to the position where he was crossing his legs.
Fan Binbin obeyed obediently.
Yeah, it fits perfectly.
This is the only good thing about this woman, otherwise she would be lovable.
“Actually, if you want to gain fame overseas, you don’t necessarily have to star in movies. You can learn from those Italian female stars...”
"What to learn?"
"On the red carpet."
"How?" Fan Binbin glanced at his body suspiciously.
“Every year at the Venice Film Festival, many second- and third-tier Italian female stars attend the red carpet.
It’s actually very simple.
Buy an invitation letter, bring your own photography team, find your own reporters, then talk to the editors of Sina or Sohu Entertainment, and spend some money to buy a page.
Then you can go up and perform.
What you wear must be unique. Get a dragon robe or phoenix robe or something. Anyway, it must be beautiful, the kind that will overwhelm the whole audience. No one has done this in China so far. If you come here to do this, , it will definitely be popular...
Of course, it will definitely be scolded! "After Zhang Chen finished speaking, Fan Binbin suddenly stopped.
"Hey, don't stop. The arrow is on the string and has to be fired~"
...
The next day, Zhang Chen knew what a prophecy meant.
His phone calls have not stopped since the morning.
At noon, he and Dong Jianqiang met at the company.
"When I call you, why does it say that I'm not in the service area?"
Zhang Chen took out his mobile phone and pointed at the black screen: "The battery is out. I was killed by those people. It's so cruel. ”
“They all asked you for roles?”
“Yes.”
"You'd never expect it."
Speaking of this, Zhang Chen felt a little proud: "Chen Hao, Zhao Yanzi, Li Binbin, and all kinds of little flowers, they all asked me to have dinner without saying anything. , he is very bold and unrestrained in person, and he wants to discuss art with me when he comes up..."
"Hahaha, are you enjoying the treatment of Hollywood's red sofa?"
Zhang Chen shook his head. Still underestimate the enthusiasm of domestic actresses to enter Hollywood.
He has memories of later generations and doesn’t think much of Hollywood, but at this stage, Hollywood is the cultural center of the world.
Its distribution capabilities are global.
Entering Hollywood is equivalent to entering the world's horizons. One role can take you from being penniless to being globally famous.
The temptation is too great!
That's not a bicycle turning into a motorcycle, that's directly turning into a Rolls-Royce.
What is this called?
Class crossing!
In comparison, what are unspoken rules? What is a red sofa?
As long as Zhang Chen speaks out, I don’t know how many actresses dare to pounce on him now.
The entertainment industry is quite open.
You can make me succeed, and I can unlock them all for you.
"You promised them?"
"Of course not."
"It's not too stupid."
Dong Jianqiang said seriously: "Remember, deal with the relationship with them You must be careful, there are more than just themselves behind these people, especially those big flowers, none of them are cheap. "
"Then what should I do? "
"Lang Sha, I don't know what to do, unless you can find someone to shut them up, such as Gong Li..."
Zhang Chen shook his head: "I want to find Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li is too old "It's too big, it's not suitable."
Dong Jianqiang thought for a while: "Zhang Ziyi is okay, she is also considered a unique one. If she gets the role, those big-name actresses will not be willing to give in at most, and they probably won't target you. "
"Is it so difficult to mess with?"
"No, let me tell you briefly. For example, Chen Hao starred in "The Man and the Dog in the Mountain" during his freshman year. , "Li Wei Becomes an Official" in my sophomore year, and I was directly selected by People's Art in my junior year to star in the drama "First Intimate Contact". I was cast as the heroine, and then I stayed in People's Art!"
"But I heard that his boyfriend is..."
"That's right, Wu Kebo. Later, her father became seriously ill and needed a lot of medical expenses, so she left Renyi and joined the TV drama market. She was the first to be filmed. The first drama is "Pink Girl".
As you will know later, she played a heartthrob and directly turned a supporting role into the protagonist.
It is said that Liu Milk Cha was very confident during the audition. I really wanted to play the role of a heartthrob, but in the end the director rejected it. Chen Hao was really suitable.” She is the undisputed number one heroine, Xiao Yanzi and the maid Jin Suo have similar status, and the fifth elder brother Yong Qi is not even the second male lead
This is also in line with the setting at the time. Hong Kong and Taiwan artists played the leading role, while mainland actors could only play a minor role.
But what happens next?
Zhao played Xiao Yanzi so well that director Zhang Shupei would rather change the script than give her an additional role. The original Ziwei became a foil.
Su Youpeng's fifth elder brother is really lucky, because he and Xiao Yanzi are co-stars, and they also have a lot of scenes together, so he can become famous again. ”
“But I heard she was box office poison. ”
"Bullshit box office poison, it's just that some people in the circle thought she took up too many resources and deliberately blackmailed her. To talk about box office poison, Cheng Long, Liu Yifei, Zhao Yanzi, Chow Yun-fat have all been box office poison..."
< br>“However, these two are indeed the ones who can steal the show. If you cooperate with them in the future, be careful. Their acting skills are good, but they will definitely cause a lot of trouble.” The history of this place is like a treasure trove of treasures, narrated in a eloquent way.
Zhang Chen recalled the later "Painted Skin", where Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun fought to the death for a robbery. In fact, it was clearly stated in the contract that the heroine was Mr. Zhou.
While talking, the 8250 that was being charged on the table suddenly lit up, and then buzzed and vibrated continuously.
The two looked at the screen, and a name flashed on it - Chang Jihong.
"Take it, I must be asking for roles for my subordinates again."
Dong Jianqiang was watching the show gloatingly, Zhang Chen took a deep breath and pressed the connect button.
Chang Jihong's voice was as enthusiastic as ever: "Director Zhang, I am Chang Jihong..."
"Hello, Sister Chang..."
"I heard that you have returned to the capital. I have always wanted to thank you for giving us Luo Dan the opportunity to star in "Dark Invasion 2". Why don't you choose a different day, just tonight?"
Hearing Chang Even though he knew that the other party couldn't see Ji Hong's words, Zhang Chen still shrugged helplessly and went straight to the point: "Sister Chang, we don't have to beat around the bush. I know you must be here for the role."
Chang Jihong on the other end of the phone was not embarrassed at all: "Director Zhang speaks quickly, so I won't hide it. Indeed, as Director Zhang said, our Jiang Wenli has wanted to enter the film industry for a long time, but she has never been able to meet her. I heard a good script..."
"Sister Chang, to be honest, Sister Wen Li is really not suitable for this movie, and the role is that of a young woman, Sister Wen Li. I’m a little old.”
“That’s it, but next time a suitable role comes up, Director Zhang must remember our Wen Li.”
"Absolutely. Sister Wen Li is also an actress that I admire very much. I have long wanted to work with her. I will definitely do it if I have the opportunity."
