Chapter 84 Painted Sword Points at Venice
Send Yang Mi away.
Yang Siwei came back and asked a lot.
"Boss, you really plan to win the role of Wang Zhaojun for Mimi."
Li Chen was noncommittal: "Thinking, even if Fan Zhitong has potential."
"For now, she is not one of our own, do you understand?"
Yang Siwei understood instantly and said no more.
I feel sorry for Fan Cong in my heart.
Shuang Bing and Gao Yuanyuan are afraid that their boss will take action.
Even Hua Yi, who is behind Shuang Bing, is probably not that big of a person.
I just don’t know how the boss can help Mimi.
For the role of Wang Zhaojun, Li Chen didn't even plan to use outside tactics.
Wang Zhaojun was originally produced by CCTV and CCTV.
Whether it is the personal relationship between Han Sanping and director Zhang Jialin.
When filming Jiang Shan Feng Yu Qing, one of them was a producer and the other was a director.
Or the origin of Yang Mi and Zhang Jialin.
At that time, Zhang Jialin's favorite princess was Yang Mi.
And Yang Mi’s own age advantage.
It is not difficult to win this role.
Li Chen asked Yang Siwei to hire some experienced actors with high salaries, including those from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Establish a crash course similar to the Hong Kong Island Wireless Training Course.
He doesn’t want the artists in his company to be criticized for their shamelessness in the future.
Li Chen has always felt that Wireless's six-month crash course model is very helpful to newcomers.
Learn basic knowledge in the first three months and practice in the next three months.
Until 2022, Wireless will begin recruiting students from the mainland.
Of course, this is a later story.
However, you can also follow this model and improve the artists under Rongchen Pictures.
Miss Liu can also benefit.
Yang Mi walked out of the Jinxiu Diamond Building and felt that the sun was shining brightly.
The gloom of the past few days has been swept away.
Wang Zhaojun, the heroine, is still the great heroine! ! !
I called my dad: "Brother Xiaolin, I will treat you to a big dinner tonight, without Ms. Yang."
On the other side, mother and daughter Miss Liu and Liu Xiaoli We went to the cinema together to contribute to the box office of Li Chen’s Shoplifters.
After watching the movie, the mother and daughter had different opinions.
Liu Xiaoli prefers this type of film.
Ms. Liu prefers to watch people in distress.
Compare with People on the Road and Crazy Stone.
This family of thieves is more imaginative.
Ms. Liu took a photo of the ticket stubs of the two movie tickets and sent them to Li Chen with two words: reimbursement!
Li Chen shook his head and smiled, not taking it seriously.
In the afternoon, online comments gradually started to appear.
“Why do I feel like this story is alluding to an island country.”
“Didn’t the film say, East Asia! A certain country! A coastal town!”
“Upstairs That makes sense, Dae Jang Geum is disgusted with the stick, and Director Lee is starting to dwell on his small life again.”
“He deserves the Palme d’Or. You can’t think of this idea even if you tie the fifth and sixth generation directors together. Such a plot comes out.”
Comments from netizens are mostly positive.
Film critics have mixed opinions.
“The unhealthy outlook of this movie is made up for by the brilliance of its rough and primitive humanity!”
“At first glance, it seems to be a family film.”
< br>“But at the end, I realized that this is a film that laments the failures of society and examines human nature.”
“The revelation of humanity at the end cannot cover up the unhealthy outlook of this movie!”
“This movie is like a clown, using funny and exaggerated makeup and gestures to win attention.”
“ It can’t be compared with the artistry of Farewell My Concubine!”
Online comments are becoming somewhat polarized.
But the movie became more and more popular.
The next day, Shoplifters' first-day box office was released: 7.25 million.
Li Chen and Han Sanping are already very satisfied. According to this trend, breaking through 60 to 70 million is not a big problem.
Given the genre and cast of this film, it is already very rare.
Today is Sunday, Li Chen made an appointment with Xue Xiaolu.
The two made an appointment to meet in a cafe.
Li Chen arrived first, and after a while, Xue Xiaolu arrived late.
After meeting, Xue Xiaolu put down her bag and smiled.
“What’s the matter, we can’t talk about it on the phone, we have to meet in person.”
“Let me leave my husband and drink coffee with you.”
Li Chen also smiled and said : "Sister Lu, I don't dare to accept this."
Xue Xiaolu took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "Okay, if you need anything from me, just tell me."
Li Chen didn't be polite and directly stated his purpose.
“You want me to direct your movie Those Years?”
Xue Xiaolu asked in surprise.
She never imagined that Li Chen asked her to meet today.
"That's right, you also directed many TV special films and short plays at the Yangma Science and Education Program Production Center."
"Now that you are back to school, I don't believe you have other ideas." Li Chen said confidently smiled.
Xue Xiaolu, who graduated from Nortel in 1996, went full circle and returned to Nortel.
I don’t just want to be a teacher in the literature department.
Directing is her ultimate pursuit.
Li Chen's words indeed touched Xue Xiaolu's heart.
Xue Xiaolu answered the question incorrectly and said with a smile: "Why don't you direct it yourself?"
Li Chen knew that the matter was half done and said with a smile: "I just want to be a man in this drama. The protagonist is an explanation of his youth."
"You will play it?" Xue Xiaolu couldn't help but laugh.
"What? Sister Lu? Acting is also included in the director's compulsory courses."
"Are there not many directors in our school who both direct and act? What's weird about me acting."
"Besides, this is my screen debut and I've dedicated it to you, so what are you afraid of?" ." Li Chen laughed.
"You said so, it seems so. I really have no reason to refuse." Xue Xiaolu also smiled.
"Then let's make an agreement, wait until this time is over."
"I will hand over the book, and I will come to you to sign the contract when everything is ready." Li Chen stretched out his hand. road.
"Although I can't compare with you in the directing profession, I won't be polite to you about money."
"Who doesn't know that you are the big boss now, and you get an Audi car with every red envelope!"
Xue Xiaolu also stretched out her hand to hold Li Chen and smiled.
"No problem, no one can lose to you, Sister Lu."
"I am poor now and all I have left is money."
"Haha."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
On the way back, Xue Xiaolu was also very happy.
She agreed to Li Chen so happily, except that she had this intention in the first place.
It is also paving the way for the future.
With Li Chen's help, maybe his plan can be advanced four or five years.
After returning home, he changed his clothes and went to Miss Liu's house.
“You said Teacher Xue came to take pictures of those years?” Miss Liu said in surprise.
"Well, I plan to devote myself to it once, for the rest of my life." Li Chen pointedly said.
How could Miss Liu not hear that? Her face turned red: "So you asked Teacher Xue to take the photo?"
"Well, actually, Sister Lu has had this plan for a long time."
"We are bastards looking at mung beans, and we are right." Li Chen joked to himself.
Miss Liu smiled and said: "How can you describe it like this? If Teacher Xue knows about it, you will not be spared."
"That's right. You and I should be described as bastards looking at mung beans. You see.”
“You are a bastard, I am not a mung bean,” Miss Liu replied with a smile.
Li Chen grabbed Miss Liu's hands.
Ms. Liu seems to know what her boyfriend wants to do.
He said with a smile: "I'm warning you, mom is upstairs."
"If you're not afraid, just come and try."
After that, Que The bird wants to try to look like it is ready for you to pick.
It's a joke, who are you trying to scare? Li Chen wanted to make a splash without saying a word.
Miss Liu turned around and said, "Mom."
Li Chen quickly turned around and saw that there was no one there.
Looking back, Miss Liu had already smiled and Shi Shiran stood up and went out
"Sissi, come back here."
After having dinner at Miss Liu's house, Li Chen was woken up by a phone call just after he fell asleep.
Picking it up and taking a look, Li Chen reluctantly answered the call.
"Tim, do you know what time it is here!"
"As a qualified employee, it is very annoying to disturb the boss's dream."
"OH, I'm sorry, boss, I will pay attention next time."
"Forget it, tell me what's going on."
"Boss, the filming has already started."
"I'm calling to remind you that post-production will be completed by early August at the latest ."
"Do you want to come over when it is released?"
"I understand, I will let you know when the arrangements are made."
"Okay, boss, I wish you a good night."
After hanging up the phone, Tim said to himself: "It seems that I have to buy another clock to hang at home and set it to Chinese time."
The next day, Li Chen received a call from Marco Muller.
This old man is really persistent.
At the Cannes Shoplifters promotion conference, I was full of praise for Li Chen’s Shoplifters.
They also took advantage of the situation to invite Li Chen to participate in the 62nd Venice Film Festival held on August 31.
Li Chen rejected him at that time. What would he do without any works?
This old man has a special liking for Chinese movies, and his contribution to Chinese movies going global cannot be ignored.
I just started serving as the chairman of the Venice Film Festival last year.
For the past eighteen years, he has been responsible for the selection of Asian films for the Venice Film Festival.
Zhang Yimou’s Raise the Red Lantern was recommended by him.
He also promised that on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Chinese cinema.
The Venice Film Festival will definitely congratulate you in the most beautiful way.
No, this year I not only participated in the Chinese Film Centenary Celebration in Cannes.
There is also a special "Chinese Film Review Unit" at this year's Venice Film Festival
To fulfill the promise he made before, he speaks Chinese very well.
Li Chen remembered that at one Cannes Film Festival, the old man knelt down to Zhang Ziyi.
At that time, Zhang Ziyi’s Night Banquet had already been released.
Zhang Ziyi went to attend the Venice Film Festival.
I just got off the car and walked onto the red carpet.
Marco Muller, the chairman of the Venice Film Festival, half-knelt in front of her and shouted: Welcome to the Queen.
This scene immediately caused a sensation in the audience and became the headlines around the world the next day.
At that time, Zhang Ziyi was very popular and was famous for her fried chicken.
She has acted in many of the films of famous directors such as Li Min, Zhang Yimou and Xiaogangpao.
"Mr. Marco, thank you very much for the invitation, but let's forget it."
"Next time, I will definitely step onto the podium in Venice with my work." Li Chen politely declined.
"Li Chen, Yimou told me, you still have a painting, why don't you give it a try?" Marco Muller smiled heartily.
Li Chen was stunned, he had never thought of this.
The horror elements of the painting are except for the scene where Pei Rong turns into a demon.
Basically change yourself to a logical and aesthetic style.
It doesn’t matter if you give it a try, but you may not have enough time.
"Marco, I remember that the registration time for the Venice Film Festival ended a few days ago."
Li Chen said doubtfully.
"Li Chen, as the chairman of the film festival, these are not problems."
"That is just the external registration time, you were invited by me."
"In your words, this is called internal recommendation."
Li Chen laughed loudly: "Okay, Marco, let me confirm it here. It seems that I won't have time to reply to you."
Marco also smiled happily and said: "Okay, then I will wait for the good news."
This old horse has all the idioms, he is really a Chinese expert.
Li Chen smiled and shook his head.
After hanging up Marco's phone, Li Chen called Wu Ershan who was doing special effects at Sony.
I learned that he will be able to complete the special effects and post-editing by July 10th at the latest. Li Chen felt confident.
At that time, we will have to ask Han Sanping to help shorten the review time.
On the 23rd, Initial D, adapted from the Japanese comic book, will be released.
The little king's big screen debut.
I have to say that Little King’s box office appeal is indeed eye-catching.
The box office exceeded 7.25 million on the first day, setting a first-day box office record for domestic movies this year.
The thief family is no match either.
Millions of Zhou Jie Lun fans flocked to cinemas to support their idols.
They didn't even leave the show after the movie was over, just to listen to the ending songs "Drift" and "All the Way North"
Fans one by one said that they were very satisfied just to see their idols on the big screen.
Seeing this, Li Chen was also very sad.
He knows that the era of fan circles is coming.
The first to bear the brunt is represented by Super Girl, which became popular this year.
In the past, most of the fans who followed celebrities were solitary, and it was difficult to form a group.
But starting from this year, the rice circle has the conditions for growth.
The fire of post bars and forums is the soil.
What Li Yiba, who later became Diba.
Brother Chun, it’s Li Yuchun who is about to win the championship.
Later, these post bars gradually developed into a network of national connotations. If you get too addicted, you will die.
Stars were pulled off the altar one by one.
Brother Xinchun will have eternal life, and it will last for more than ten years once it is passed down.
Brother Chun is a real man, and the iron-blooded Stallone is everywhere on the Internet.
If you don’t understand Brother Chun, you will be embarrassed to go out and chat with others.
Each of the fans has their own title.
Li Yuchun’s fans are called Corn, and his fans are called Li Yuchun and Chunchun.
Zhang Liangying’s fans are called Liangfen, Zhou Bi’s fan is called Bibi.
And so on.
When Li Chen heard this, he heard it from his young cousin.
I can't understand it at all. According to this, what should Ku Juji's fans be called?
The fans gathered together in groups and began to organize to support the idols, suppress them, criticize them, and whitewash them.
Li Chen felt that he had to take some time to mention Yang Siwei.
There is no fuel-efficient lamp under my company.
Whether it is Yang Mi and Tangtang, or Fan Xiaopang who may be under the banner in the future, etc.
Those are the girls who shine the brightest in the spotlight.
Each one has a constitution that attracts evil.
This is not counting his girlfriend. Thinking about it, it is the epitome of Lao Mouzi's House of Flying Daggers.
Except Li Chen pays attention to Initial D.
There is another person who is also attracted by Zhou Jielun’s box office appeal: Zhang Weiping.
The huge profits from Heroes and House of Flying Daggers gave Zhang Weiping a taste of the sweetness.
However, the two films were not well received in China, which made Lao Mouzi feel unhappy.
The two argued many times about this, but neither could convince the other.
This year’s film, A Thousand Miles Alone, which has not yet been released, is the result of Zhang Weiping’s compromise.
But Zhang Weiping has made up his mind that as long as he travels thousands of miles alone, he will not sell out.
You have to do it according to your own wishes, and you can't just follow your own will!
Qinghong’s box office reached 2.4 million and could no longer move.
On the 25th, the audition for the heroine Ip Man was held as scheduled at Splendid Diamond.
Fan Zhitong came early and followed Yang Siwei through the back door. After all, he was not yet 25 years old.
The first time he came back to Splendid Diamond, Fan Congchen fell in love with it inexplicably.
I am already very familiar with Yang Siwei.
The two of them chatted without a word, and Fan Congcheng talked about Wang Zhaojun.
In front of Yang Siwei, she did not shy away.
“Although there is competition between Gao Yuanyuan and Li Congcheng, believe it or not, thinking.”
“They do not necessarily have an advantage over me.”
Yang Siwei's smile did not change: "Of course I believe it, don't say so much, the boss and Mr. Wu are waiting."
"Let's go up quickly, don't let my boss and Mr. Wu wait too long." ”
Yang Siwei sighed inwardly, if it weren’t for Yang Mi, of course I believe you could win.
But now, Yang Siwei didn't know what to say.
Fan Congchen felt strange, always feeling that Yang Siwei was changing the topic.
Yang Siwei took Fan Zhitong to change into cheongsam.
Then came the audition conference room.
Li Chen and Wu Bin are already waiting.
Wu Bin came back two days ago and successfully won his parents' love at a huge price.
Li Chen had a meeting with the company’s screenwriting department.
I recounted the love story between my parents in my memory as if it were a synopsis of the plot.
Then he handed it to Wu Bin to stare at.
Li Chen has already introduced Wu Bin and Yang Siwei to each other.
Yang Siwei also issued an announcement on behalf of Rongchen Pictures, welcoming Wu Bin to join.
Fan Congcheng took the initiative to greet: "Director Li, Mr. Wu, I am Fan Congcheng."
"I'm here to audition Ip Man heroine Zhang Yongcheng today."
Yang Siwei has also taken a seat, sitting on either side of Li Chen with Wu Bin on the left and right.
Fan Congcheng is ready.
Li Chen smiled and said: "Let's get started. You already know Zhang Yongcheng's character."
"Let's see how you interpret it."
This kind of performance without physical objects is a test of the actor's skills.
The blue and white cheongsam vividly shows off Fan Zhengyi’s exquisite body curves.
Every move she makes is indeed very feminine.
The premise is not to look at the face. The appearance is too delicate, and it is easy for the subject and the guest to be in different places.
“It’s not the first day I’ve met you, so I’ll just say it straight, let’s work together again next time we have a chance.”
Li Chen said bluntly.
Yang Siwei glanced at the boss, a little confused. She thought Fan Congcheng performed well.
But if she doesn’t understand, she doesn’t understand, but she won’t be confused about her position.
Fan Congchen felt a little frustrated because of this role.
She also went to inquire about Zhang Yongcheng’s character and habits from Ip Man’s descendants.
I didn’t expect it.
“It’s okay, Director Li. I also want to thank Director Li for giving me the opportunity to audition.”
“I hope I will have the opportunity to participate in Director Li’s movies in the future.”
Fan Congcheng smiled.
After Fan Congcheng went out, Yang Siwei couldn't help but ask the boss why.
After asking clearly, he immediately sent a message to Fan Zhitong.
"The boss said you are too beautiful. Ip Man is a biography of the male protagonist, and he is afraid that you will steal the limelight from the male protagonist."
When Fan Zhitong saw the message, his mood immediately improved. a lot of.
She also knows that her appearance can sometimes be an advantage, and sometimes it can also be a disadvantage.
Next is another related household, Xu Qing.
It has to be said that there are not many actresses with pear vortex in the entertainment industry.
One is Ms. Liu, the other is Xu Qing, and Chen Jingfei’s future girlfriend.
"Director Li, I am Xu Qing"
Xu Qing is not suitable, both in terms of age and feeling.
The whole morning, until Yang Gongru came in, Li Chen felt like his eyes were brightening.
After putting on the cheongsam, I look good.
Reminds Li Chen of Wang Zhenzhen in I Have a Date with a Zombie.
Although not as dazzling as Fan Clan.
Although she has a slim figure, she can still hold up a cheongsam. She deserves to be the most photogenic Asian sister champion.
And his gentle and gentle temperament exactly fits the description of Ip Man's descendants.
"Director Li, hello, I am Yang Gongru"
Yang Gongru is now at the peak of her appearance.
This is the first time I met this young Palme d'Or director.
Yang Gongru couldn't say what he felt, except that the other person's eyes were bright.
It’s like I can see through myself, as if I’ve known myself for a long time.
I heard that the webcast rights for my TV series "Across the World" and "I Have a Date with a Zombie" have been bought by Rongchen Pictures.
ATV and TVB both seem to value their strategic cooperation with Rongchen Pictures.
“If you are ready, let’s start, Miss Yang,” Li Chen said with a smile.
Cai Shaofan, She Shiman, Guo Xianni in front, plus Yang Gongru in front of me.
More and more Hong Kong artists are moving to the mainland to find food.
The ten-minute audition is actually just a process.
Whether they are suitable or not, Li Chen can tell at a glance whether they are suitable or not.
“Okay, that’s it.”
Yang Gongru was interrupted and thought he had lost the election.
It is inevitable to feel a little disappointed.
Li Chen ignored her and instead asked Wu Bin beside him: "What do you think, Senior Brother Wu?"
Wu Bin smiled and said: "I have no objection, you just have to decide."
Yang Siwei smiled and said: "I have no objection, boss, we were a family five hundred years ago."
Li Chen then turned around and smiled: "Ms. Yang, this is the script."
“You can take it back first, but you must keep it confidential.”
Yang Gongru instantly felt like he was coming back from the dead.
"Director Li, you mean I passed the audition?" Yang Gongru said in surprise.
Yang Siwei took the document bag and handed it to Yang Gongru with a smile.
“The boss has given you the script, so why is it still fake?”
“Let someone from your company come to me to sign a contract.”
"Ah, thank you, Director Li."
Li Chen gave the list to Yang Siwei to contact the remaining actors.
On July 5th, Rongchen Pictures announced the casting results of Ip Man as well as the director and starring candidates
Director: Ning Hao
Action Director: Hong Jinbao
Ip Man: Zhang Jin
Zhang Yongcheng: Yang Gongru
Zhou Qingquan: Huang Lei
Jinshanzhao: Fan Shaohuang
Li Zhao: Yu Hewei< br>
Miura: Hiroyuki Ikeuchi
Friendly starring: Zhou Zhaolong
Hong Jinbao is Zhou Zhaolong’s master, and having Zhou Zhaolong’s relationship is a lot more convenient.
As soon as the news was announced to the public, it immediately aroused heated discussion in the circle.
As for the selection of male and female protagonists, no one guessed the result.
Ip Man chose the unknown Zhang Jin.
The heroine was unexpectedly chosen as Yang Gongru, who was born in Asia.
Wang Zhonglei was a little frustrated when none of his own double ice teams were selected.
Rongchen Pictures is like an iron fence, no oil or salt can enter.
Is it just for an audition opportunity that I called you?
Sisters Li Zhengtong and Li Hudong were very open-minded.
"Sister, I'm afraid the situation where Huayi's family is the only one will never return."
"Mr. Wang is probably very angry," Li He said.
"It's useless to be angry, Mr. Wang can't handle Director Li."
"Director Li is no longer the fledgling college student he was two years ago." Li Congcheng said.
"What I'm saying is that I saw clearly that day at the premiere of Shoplifters that Director Li is not a simple person."
"He is young and very capable. All his friends are the leaders and leaders in the industry. "Leadership."
"The state-owned China Film Group Corporation, Xuanfa's outstanding reputation, and Rongchen Pictures' golden brand of production, can be said to have no disadvantages."
"Not at all. It depends on Mr. Wang's expression." Li He sighed.
On the other side, Rong Xingda’s Li Shaohong saw that Rongchen Pictures had not yet signed Yang Mi.
I was also filled with doubts.
Li Chen didn’t care what the outside world said.
Ip Man is expected to start filming after the National Day. Wing Chun is not something you can get familiar with in a day or two.
Wu Ershan is back from Sony.
Li Chen, Wu Bin and Wu Ershan watched the edited film at the company.
Li Chen was very satisfied.
Wu Ershan’s cold tones have been imprinted on the painting since the first part.
After watching the whole movie, Li Chen felt that the beauty of the picture was no less than that of Lao Mouzi’s hero.
If the hero is the warm azalea, then the painted skin is the cold narcissus.
The special effects are much more gorgeous than the 50-cent special effects done on Hong Kong Island in the previous life.
Without the logical flaw, Li Chen had the confidence to go to Venice.
The update time is set to 7:00 in the morning, two in one. Thank you book friends for subscribing and voting, thank you
