Chapter 162 Yang Xiaomi saves herself
Why is Chen Xi sure that Liu Tianxian wants to snatch the role of Yang Xiaomi? It is very simple. The two leading actors in "Manslaughter", Jiang Wenli and Xu Qing, Liu Tianxian will definitely not be able to move. , which is also inappropriate in terms of age.
There is only one character in the whole film that fits Liu Tianxian, the eldest daughter An An, played by Yang Xiaomi.
But Chen Xi can't do anything. Although Zhang Chen nominally asked her to be the producer of this drama, the soul of "Manslaughter" is Zhang Chen. Only Zhang Chen has the decision-making power for all characters. Even Dong Jianqiang can't get involved, let alone Chen Xi.
So all she could do was to tip off the news and see if Yang Xiaomi could handle it on her own.
"I will help you put in good words, but it probably won't have much effect. You have to think of something yourself~"
"Thank you, Xixi~"
Hang up the phone. Yang Xiaomi's heart was very confused.
She has been on the set since she was a child, and this is not the first time she has experienced being replaced. She has also experienced being slapped by a director, which is really nothing.
But I still feel aggrieved.
I haven't provoked anyone, so why should I take my role?
I am still too weak.
If you could be as famous as Jiang Wenli or Xu Qing, who would dare to change your role?
Yang Xiaomi felt indignant.
"Xiao Mi, are you okay over there? The director urged me..." Zeng Li's voice came from outside the lounge.
"Oh, Sister Zeng Li, I'll be fine soon."
Yang Xiaomi calmed down, looked at herself in the mirror and saw nothing unusual, then stood up and went out.
Outside the door, everyone had gathered and she was the only one left.
"Sorry, sorry, I just answered the phone~" Yang Xiaomi apologized to everyone cautiously, and Wang Luodan in the crowd gave her an annoyed look.
Since that day, the two of them turned from good friends to enemies, but neither could do anything to the other. One fell in love with Zhang Chen, and the other fell in love with Dong Jianqiang.
It is impossible for the first and second leaders of Xingchen Entertainment to fight over the two of them.
Director Ning Hao waved his hand indifferently to indicate that it was okay, and the group walked towards the studio hall.
Today was a movie promotion. Originally, she and supporting actors like Wang Luodan did not need to participate in this kind of thing, but the agency wanted them to show up more, so they specifically told Ning Hao.
Ning Hao is also happy to sell favors.
“Everyone has worked hard during this period. Director Zhang will treat you to dinner tonight as a reward~”
Before the show, Ning Hao specially announced the good news, and everyone was very happy.
Not because of a meal, but because of the opportunity to get along with Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen is now a hot commodity in the entertainment industry. There are rumors in the circle that Zhang Chen is the best at praising actresses.
So far, his movies have all had leading ladies. As long as they can star in his movies, success and fame will be just around the corner.
Yang Xiaomi was thinking about how she could persuade Zhang Chen to keep her role when she saw him at night.
She herself felt that there was little hope. The other party was Liu Tianxian, Liu Tianxian who was currently very popular.
If you are rich, powerful and popular, how can you compare yourself with others?
Think about it, both are born in the 1980s, but the gap is huge.
She is the second female lead in "Golden Pink Family" and she is a guest star.
In "The Condor", she is the heroine throughout, and she is a minor supporting role that only appears in the later stages.
Even "Sword of Immortal", which I picked up casually, is now a big hit.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaomi became more and more frustrated. If she were Zhang Chen and Liu Tianxian wanted to replace Yang Xiaomi, he would most likely agree.
......
In the company, Zhang Chen is reading the promotional copy of "Black 2".
Subways, buses, building exteriors, shopping malls, radio, television, newspapers, magazines...
The promotion of "Black 2" involves all aspects.
In order to strengthen the relationship with Enlight, Dong Jianqiang gave the position of master distribution to Enlight, and China Film only cooperated.
This really surprised Wang Changtian. He thought that the unhappiness between Zhang Zhao and Dong Jianqiang would affect the cooperation between the two parties, but he did not expect that Dong Jianqiang was so well-organized.
The promotional copy was very detailed. Zhang Chen looked through it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
It can be seen that the lighting is very careful. They have invested a lot of resources in the promotion of "Black 2". At least they have shown the greatest sincerity in the TV interviews. Basically every three to five days There was an interview, which was available on both local stations and satellite TV.
In the TV station area, the resources of light are indeed quite strong.
While Zhang Chen was watching, Dong Jianqiang next to him was still synchronizing some information he knew.
"Zhang Zhao is indeed a figure. Guangguang has just gotten involved in film distribution, and he has already done a good job. He summoned a group of people and stationed them in various cinemas. These people and the staff of the cinemas The relationship between them is very good..."
Zhang Chen listened to Dong Jianqiang's story and realized that Zhang Zhao's plan was actually the plan he later developed for Diwang Distribution.
Before the emergence of online ticket collection platforms, underground issuance was a very effective means of issuance.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looking downstairs, you can clearly see the "Black 2" poster painted on the outside of the passing bus.
The background board of the bus stop was also replaced with a poster of "Black 2".
Distribution is actually about grabbing resources.
With so many movies released, whoever grabs more resources will have higher exposure. If people want to watch a movie, they will subconsciously think of this movie.
Then the effect of publicity is achieved.
"By the way, Chen Xi, has "Wulin Gaiden" been started?"
Well, he suddenly remembered "Wulin Gaiden". Before he went to Hollywood, the crew of "Wulin Gaiden" was still preparing, and he doesn't know now how's it going.
"It has been half a month since the filming started. The role of 'Mo Xiaobei' that you are particularly concerned about has been cast by a young actor named Guan Xiaotong. She is also the actor who plays the youngest daughter in "Manslaughter"."
Hearing this familiar name, Zhang Chen immediately thought of what the other person would look like twenty years from now. Guan Xiaotong can be regarded as a child star. She appeared in a TV series at the age of four, and participated in "The Promise" when she was eight years old.
She comes from a family of entertainers, and her grandpa is very awesome.
Zhang Chen only had two impressions of this person.
One is that being in love with Mr. Lu was criticized by the entire Internet. You dare to get involved with the dream lover of girls all over the country. What do you think? Do you want to be the public enemy?
The other one is the long legs.
It seems that on a variety show, Guan Xiaotong appeared in a short skirt. Everyone thought she was wearing a miniskirt. When the light came from the back and illuminated the outline of the two legs between the skirt, people realized I discovered that what she was wearing was not a miniskirt, but that the part covered by the skirt was still long.
But now these don't exist, the little girl is still an eight-year-old child.
"To be honest, Guan Xiaotong has no problem playing 'Mo Xiaobei', but the little daughter who plays 'Manslaughter' is a bit old, she should be about six years old..."
Chen Xi in Zhang Chen From an invisible angle, he curled his lips without leaving any trace: "The time is too short. There is only one month to choose actors. It is difficult to find the right one. For this, I borrowed it from Director Shang Jing... ”
Hearing this, Zhang Chen didn’t care.
His movies are always in a hurry and the preparation period is very short, which is indeed difficult for Chen Xi.
"In addition, since you are back from Hollywood, why don't you go to "Wulin Gaiden" for a while? Our company is also an investor, so we can calm their hearts..."
Halfway through filming of the film and television project Countless people have heard of it. The appearance of Zhang Chen, the fourth largest director in the country, at least proves that this drama has a backstage, and the actors and crew can feel at ease.
"Okay, please make arrangements. Let's go there together when we are free~"
The crew of "Manslaughter" is scheduled to go to Thailand on January 10, and Zhang Chen is going before he leaves. Looking at "Wulin Gaiden", it is indeed time to show his face.
……
In the evening, Zhang Chen hosted a banquet for the creative team of "Black 2" in the hotel box.
“Everyone has worked hard during this period. The movie promotion period will definitely be more difficult and tiring. The more you persevere, the movie’s box office depends on everyone...”
Zhang Chen comforted everyone. Emotions, while raising a glass of wine, he himself has done publicity and road shows, and knows the pain involved.
Not to mention anything else, many people will feel conflicted just by Che Luanlu repeatedly saying this.
But it is necessary.
The questions that the media and fans can think of are almost the same, and it is impossible to stipulate that the questions that have been answered there will not be answered here.
Then you are not promoting, you are being an uncle.
"Everywhere, everywhere, it should be..."
Everyone raised their glasses.
The atmosphere during the meal was very harmonious. Zhang Chen, Ning Hao, and Cao Bingkun were good friends from the beginning, and Chen Xi became familiar with them later.
Zeng Li is not a talkative person. She becomes lively only when she is with a few people such as Qin Hailu.
Usually at this kind of dinner, most of the time she just listens to other people chatting and doesn’t talk much herself, but she has already collaborated on two movies, and even a stone is warm, so she is quite lively today. Occasionally, he will take the initiative to open up topics.
"Sister, you will definitely become famous after this drama..."
Chen Xi was introduced to the crew by Zeng Li, and the two have always maintained a good relationship.
"No matter what, it's you. Director Zhang has asked you to be the producer of "Manslaughter". You will definitely be a big producer in the future."
"Yes, yes, let's toast to Producer Chen together..." Cao Bingkun booed beside him, and others responded one after another.
The importance Zhang Chen attaches to Chen Xi is visible to the naked eye. He asked her to help prepare for "Dark Invasion 2", and "Manslaughter" was directly upgraded to a producer, with full responsibility for all affairs. In time, her status may not be that of Dong Jianqiang. under.
No one in the entertainment industry is stupid. Everyone knows it.
Chen Xi felt everyone's enthusiasm and refused without hesitation, drinking until the glass was dry.
"Sister Chen Xi, I also respect you. I wish you success in your career and great achievements..."
Wang Luodan was particularly enthusiastic. This girl probably had second thoughts and felt that she should have a good relationship with Chen Xi.
It never hurts to have a good relationship with a producer.
Since Zhang Chen is not that easy to get close to, then make more friends with Chen Xi. Didn’t Yang Xiaomi get that role just by having a good relationship with Chen Xi?
Chen Xi does not reject anyone who comes.
"Sister Chen Xi, I thank you for taking great care of me on the set, and I would like to toast you too..."
As soon as Wang Luoduan sat down, Yang Xiaomi followed immediately.
Words of thanks were spoken.
"Xiaomi, what are you doing? We are best friends, that is what we should do..."
Chen Xi made no secret of her relationship with Yang Xiaomi as best friends. From what Zhang Chen saw, she couldn't say how much effect it would have.
Before doing this, she also thought about whether it would touch Zhang Chen's back scale, thinking that she was on the top of a mountain or something, but after thinking about it, it probably wouldn't be the case.
She has been dating Zhang Chen for some time and thinks she knows him well.
Lurious, emotional, informal...
He doesn't care about trivial matters. In other words, as long as there is no substantial harm to the movie, he generally doesn't care.
Actually, Chen Xi also had some thoughts about the seating arrangements for today's dinner. He originally wanted to have Yang Xiaomi and Zhang Chen next to each other like last time, but unfortunately it didn't work out.
Zhang Chen sat down as soon as he arrived and asked Dong Jianqiang and Zeng Li to sit on either side of him. Yang Xiaomi had no chance at all.
The guests and hosts enjoyed the meal thoroughly, and everyone drank a lot.
After arranging everyone to go home, Zhang Chen waved goodbye to everyone. Originally, he wanted to ask who lived near Sanyuan Bridge and give them a ride, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
Easy to cause misunderstanding.
