Chapter 356: Hiding for leisure, the dust has settled
The entire film industry is paying attention to the casting of "Resident Evil 5".
The director and staff arrived in the capital a few days ago, but it was not until today that the casting rules were disclosed to the domestic film circle.
That is, "Resident Evil 5" does not open auditions, and only accepts auditions from actors invited by the film studio and recommended actors.
A few people in the industry know something.
It was because the film's first choice rejected the invitation, so after a few days of waiting, the current audition rules were established.
The actresses all know that "Resident Evil" is a very high-quality Hollywood film project, a film distributed globally.
And this time the second female lead is equivalent to half a heroine in terms of setting, which can directly affect her own status and increase her commercial value...
This makes many actresses We don’t want to miss it anymore!
The media squatted outside the hotel and took photos of many female stars going to audition. The number of people was very large.
"Hollywood never gives away resources for free. In games, the second female lead is indeed very important, but if it is changed into a movie, it is hard to say..."
Ye Ning called Lin Nan specifically to consult, and Wanda had already The recommended spot was given to Jing Tian.
"Hahaha, in the eyes of Director Lin, this is a role that is possible to win, but it is different for others."
Lin Nan smiled, no refute. This was indeed one of the reasons why he refused on behalf of Liu Yifei.
The company also received a recommendation invitation. Zeng Jia and Yang Mi responded quickly and spoke immediately.
Yue Jun immediately gave Yang Mi the opportunity to audition, and the latter was already preparing.
But Lin Nan has no hope for Yang Mi. Her English skills are really difficult to describe.
There are faint signs of taking sides and betting.
Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing are the three most promising.

September 30th every year is the deadline for submissions to the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film.
China is a little embarrassed this year. Among the films that have been released so far, there are no films that are good.
Originally, according to policy requirements, films must be released domestically to be eligible to be recommended to compete for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
But in this case, the Film Bureau took a different approach and made an exception for "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling".
As soon as this decision was announced, Zhang Yimou and "Thirteen Hairpins" immediately became the targets of many film producers.
Since an exception is made, why only make an exception for "Thirteen Hairpins"?
Why not take out all the movies that do not meet the requirements and compare them before deciding on the final result?
The one with the most opinions was "White Deer Plain", followed by a series of unreleased realism-themed feature films.
At this time, it stands to reason that one should keep a low profile, but Zhang Weiping disagrees.
“Which Chinese-language film is more suitable for Oscars than "The Thirteen Hairpins"? The answer is: No!
Redemption is a common topic all over the world. Zhang Yimou plus Bale must be the most competitive combination for the best foreign language film..."
These naked words were thrown directly in the faces of all the film producers who had opinions.
Meaning It is obvious: "The Thirteen Beauties" has an Oscar winner as the male protagonist. When competing for the best foreign language film, it has an advantage over other Chinese-language films and even films from other countries.
This is not true! It was okay, but after he said it, the criticism in the circle became even louder.
Zhang Dapao directly gave Lao Mouzi a reputation as a "self-respecting person who relies on foreign countries"...
The industry is also very realistic, and no one dares to question whether the film bureau also means what Zhang Weiping said.
However, Lin Nan estimates that this matter is really uncertain...
…………
"Painting on the Wall", "The Legend of White Snake", "Xin Hai" The promotion of movies such as "Revolution" has completely reached fever pitch.
Especially the first two films, which are the first commercial films produced exclusively by the two companies.
That kind of tit-for-tat smell of gunpowder has been going on since the release date, and it’s getting more intense now.
Based on the fact that "The Legend of White Snake" has a big-name production team, Yang Zai was shortlisted for the non-competition section of the Cannes Film Festival.
Therefore, when promoting it, other movies were often disparaged, as if they wanted to take advantage of the National Day schedule.
This arrogant and arrogant attitude deeply disgusted the producers of all movies in the same period!
Many people in the industry are saying that there is no good thing in being crazy. What’s more, if you are new to the industry, you will be taught a lesson sooner or later.
Looking at the posters of these two movies online, Lin Nan smiled helplessly.
The words "Tiangong Color" are prominently displayed on the poster!
…………
Yesterday I was talking about Shu Chang, but today I saw him.
Wearing home clothes, nesting on the sofa of Liu Yifei's house, the table is filled with various snacks, snacks and juice.
"Why are you here today?"
"Humph..."
Shu Chang rolled his eyes at Lin Nan, turned his head and hugged Liu Yifei's arm.
This attitude?
Lin Nan glanced at Miss Liu, who smiled and nodded.
Well, what I joked about Shu Chang yesterday was reported by Liu Yifei.
“She came here to take a break.” Miss Liu said with a smile.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Lin Nan was a little curious.
After a while, I heard Shu Chang talking about the crew of "Journey to the West".
"Journey to the West" produced by Zhang Jizhong recently had an "accident".
Some actors took the initiative to reveal that the unspoken rules were hidden, and even the assistant director's text messages were sent out.
Immediately afterwards, the previous crew members expressed their support, saying that six of the seven spider spirits were trapped.
They bumped into the producer several times coming out of the room of several actresses playing spider spirits at four or five in the morning, so they were sent away one after another by the crew... The media seemed to smell something fishy. Cat, one by one ran to interview.
How could the bearded man admit it? After throwing down the words "complete nonsense", he disappeared. Huayi even published three drafts in one day!
So the reporters focused on other actors, trying to make some insinuations and get some material.
Shu Chang made a guest appearance as the King of the Daughter Kingdom out of love, and now he is also on the list of "harassed" by the media.
"How did I know that? I'm just a guest star..."
Shu Chang leaned on Liu Yifei's shoulder and said with some frustration. It seemed that he was very annoyed. The other actors Probably so.
"Haha, four or five o'clock? Only the crew and crew can get up at this time and bump into them."
To be honest, Lin Nan was quite inclined to believe this revelation.
Big Beard is one of the core members of Huayi, and he is also known for being a coquettish person. He was famous in the past...
"Let me help you say hello to them later." Lin Nan Said with a smile.
“Yeah, thank you, brother.”
Good guy, how fast you change your face! Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing.
.........
After a week of fermentation, "Bu Bu Jing Xin" has swept the entire film and television industry just like "Palace" at the beginning of the year.
Tangren has stepped up its publicity efforts, and the Internet is full of news about this TV series, photos and news of the leading actors traveling to various places, and various programs.
Cai Yinong's purpose is very clear, which is to promote Liu Shishi into the ranks of first-line female stars and give the Tang people another pillar of support.
What surprised Lin Nan was that Cai Yinong got the recommendation from someone out of nowhere and actually took Liu Shishi to audition for "Resident Evil 5" and even posted photos of the audition.
In Lin Nan's opinion, this is really... funny!
"What, you were eliminated?"
Faced with Lin Nan's joking question, Yue Jun nodded helplessly.
"I was eliminated in one round. After all, my foundation was too weak."
Lin Nan was mentally prepared for the result of Yang Mi's audition.
Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing have experienced hundreds of battles.
In front of them, Yang Mi would be hung up and beaten. In comparison, it was all a flaw.
"The results are probably out by now." Yue Jun said unexpectedly.
“So soon?”
“It hasn’t been announced yet, but some people have already posted group photos. The circle is very lively at the moment, haha..."
< br>
...
After Yue Jun left Tiangong Color, Lin Nan flipped through the news on the Internet.
It’s really lively!
Li Bingbing posted a photo on Weibo. It's a group photo of her, Deng Wendi and Paul Anderson, the director of "Resident Evil 5".
In the photo, Li Bingbing is in the middle, with Deng Wendi and Paul Anderson on the left and right. All three are smiling and giving thumbs up, and behind them is the concept poster of "Resident Evil 5"!
A group photo speaks for itself.
Everyone with a discerning eye understands that, with Deng Wendi pulling the strings, Li Bingbing succeeded!
This is not the end yet. Netizens are watching the fun and not taking it too seriously. They rushed to leave messages on Zhang Ziyi’s Weibo.
“Back then, you always showed off your deep affection as sisters. Why did Deng Wendi go to help Li Bingbing?”
“Is the new person better than the old one?”
"You are an 'International Chapter', why did you lose to Li Bingbing!"
...
I have to say that Zhang Ziyi is indeed someone who can keep his composure.
She turned around and replied in unison: "Having acted in so many Hollywood movies, it doesn't matter if I didn't succeed in this audition. As a senior, I have to leave some opportunities for those who come after me..."
A reply brought out the past honors and encouraged the newcomers as a senior, which immediately established his own image.
This time, I really got some good reviews.
But anyone who really understands knows that Zhang Ziyi is looking for a way out for himself.
In the past, she would not have had this attitude. Why would she need an audition if she liked Li Bingbing?
Sure enough, the next morning.
The casting team of "Resident Evil 5" announced the news.
"After careful decision, we sincerely invite Ms. Li Bingbing to participate in the filming of "Resident Evil 5: Retribution". We hope to have a happy cooperation!"
The casting has been completely settled, and many domestic actresses have given up. , another big flower is about to enter the international stage!
Starting at noon that day, a large number of press releases about Li Bingbing and "Resident Evil 5" poured out.
"Li Bingbing will go to Hollywood in October..."
"Another domestic actress will enter the international stage, this time it will not be a co-production!"
.........
"What's there to be happy about? Rumor has it that this is a resource Liu Yifei doesn't want..."
"Real or false?"
" It didn’t even reach Liu Yifei’s hands, but was directly rejected by Director Lin!”
…………
There is a lot of news flying around on the Internet, and I don’t know whether it is true or false. But Fan Bingbing, Yang Mi, Jing Tian and others all know that this is most likely not false.
