Chapter 148 The Difference between Stars and Actors
The General Manager’s Office of Shiba Culture.
Wang Jingshao looked at the online reports and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously.
Since she left Huayi, Huayi has not only failed to recover, but has launched many high-quality projects one after another.
Whether it is a movie or a TV series, Hua Yi is everywhere.
On the other hand, look back at Chengtian, which you joined.
Although the slogans are loud, the New Year picture of stars in the orange sky at the beginning of the year is also quite powerful.
But when it comes to specific projects, few can get it right away.
Guan Jianpeng's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" ended lonely.
Wuyusen's "Red Cliff" has not yet achieved results for a while.
The dozens of artists under him seem to be relying on Rongchen Pictures to make a living.
The schedule of several films from Rongchen Pictures made her feel sour in her heart.
However, Wang Jinghao sighed helplessly despite the sour feeling.
In the future, the battle with Huayi will not be about who is number one, but who will be the second in this millennium.
It is too difficult to unseat Rongchen Pictures.
Wang Jinghao was lost in thought when Chen Daoming knocked on the door and came in.
"Daoming, what's the matter?" Wang Jingshao looked at the elegant Chen Daoming in front of him with a smile.
The two have been working together for more than ten years, and they work well together.
He established Shiba Culture by himself, and he became the art director for himself.
Although not like relatives, they are better than relatives.
Chen Daoming has short hair, wears a white shirt with a round stand-up collar and a pair of navy blue trousers, and is clean shaven.
She doesn’t look old at all. Standing next to Wang Jinghao, she seems to be the same age as Wang Jinghao.
Chen Daoming came in and casually sat across from Wang Jingshao and said: "Rongchen Pictures sent the audition list for "Painted Skin" 2, and there is only one person named Mei Ting."
Wang Jingshao felt a little bit. It's a pity: "There are no male actors?"
Chen Daoming nodded: "It seems that Director Li already has a suitable candidate in mind."
Wang Jinghao frowned and called Yang Siwei in front of Chen Daoming.
When Yang Siwei saw the call, he knew that Sister Hao would definitely call.
With a helpless smile, I still connected.
“Sister Hao?” Yang Siwei smiled.
"Si Si, I didn't want to be polite to you, so I asked directly, did Xia Yu offend Director Li in some way?"
"Sister Hao, where did you go? My boss chooses people based on his own will. I also spoke for Xia Yu, but it was useless." It’s because Xia Yu is already the best actor, and my boss probably wants to hire someone new.”
Wang Jinghao hung up the phone helplessly.
Only the second male lead in "Painted Skin 2" has an open audition and is required to be under 30 years old.
Xia Yu just met the conditions.
As a result, Wang Jinghao submitted his resume and didn't even get the chance to audition.
Wang Jingshao didn’t give up and found Yang Siwei again.
I hope Yang Siwei can help and work hard for Xia Yu and get an invitation to audition for the male lead.
The result is now pornographic again, leaving Wang Jinghao at a loss what to say.
Among the dozens of artists under his banner, Xia Yu’s reputation is also top-notch, but he is not favored by major directors. It’s strange!
Xia Yu has not been selected for any of Rongchen Pictures' films.
Is it really like what Yang Siwei said because Xia Yu is already the Venice Best Actor?
Li Zhengyi has received a call from her sister, and it is confirmed that she will no longer be used in "Painted Skin 2".
You don’t need Yang Siming to tell you the answer, everyone knows it in their mind.
The Li Cong sisters had no choice but to do anything.
When Li Xiaowan received a call from Yang Siwei, she couldn't help but frown.
Li Xiaowan is a little nervous.
Even if Rongchen Pictures came over to audition for a female lead, she would not dare to accept it rashly.
Li Xiaowan couldn't make up her mind and immediately found Li Shaohong's office.
Seeing Li Xiaowan come in, Li Shaohong said: "What's wrong?"
Li Xiaowan sat down opposite Li Shaohong and frowned: "Yang Siwei called just now. The heroine of "Painted Skin 2" invited Zeng to leave for an audition."
When Li Shaohong heard this, he also frowned: "It's Li Congcheng. That role?"
Li Xiaowan nodded: "It can't be wrong!"
Li Shaohong leaned on the sofa and thought for about half a minute, frowning.
Picked up the phone and called Li Chen directly.
Li Chen saw Li Shaohong's call and was confused since Yang Mi terminated her contract and Rong Xinda signed it to him.
He and Li Shaohong never met or contacted by phone.
"Hello, Director Li."
Both of them were named Li, so Li Shaohong called Li Chen by his first name.
She has this confidence. Li Chen's teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang is her classmate. In terms of seniority, she is also considered Li Chen's uncle.
"Li Chen, I won't beat around the bush, have you taken a liking to my Zeng Li again?" Li Shaohong said.
Li Chen was a little confused as a monk: "Zeng Li is your Rong Xinda?"
"So you really have a crush on her?"
Both of them answered incorrectly, but both of them got the answer.
Li Chen chuckled and said, "Where did you go, Director Li, you made me sound like a robber."
"I asked her to audition purely because she is a newcomer and her temperament fits the role."
"Don't say I didn't know she was from Rong Xinda, even if I knew, I would still invite her Come to the audition."
"If you are worried, you can refuse."
Li Shaohong chuckled: "That's not a problem. I'm calling you just to find out who you are. Meaning."
Li Chen also smiled and said: "Director Li, I think the matter between Zhou Xun and Yang Mi is fair and I have nothing to do with you."
"I have already turned over this matter, but I didn't expect you to still be worried about it."
Li Shaohong was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while: "You are right, it's time to turn over the matter."
After hanging up the phone, Li Shaohong smiled and said: "Call Zeng Li and ask her to audition."
"Wang Zhonglei wanted to poach Zhou Xun at first, but "The Night Banquet" didn't catch Zhou Xun either. , if Zeng Li steals Li Zhengli's role again, I will be happy to see him laugh."
Li Xiaowan also laughed, as long as Rongchen Pictures doesn't want to poach Zeng Li, then there is nothing he can say.
Li Chen hung up the phone and called Yang Siwei again.
Yang Siwei also found out after checking that Zeng Li had signed a contract with Rong Xinda only last year.
She didn't take it seriously and didn't report it to Li Chen.
"The Barber" is like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, passing by.
It failed to cause any waves.
As his first film in his life, Zeng Li put a lot of effort into it, but he still managed to pass without leaving any trace.
After "The Sweeney", she never received any film offers.
Unexpectedly, I suddenly received a call from my agent.
"Painted Skin 2" sent me an audition invitation, and the role is still the heroine Li Chongtong in "Painted Skin".
It was really a surprise to Zeng Li.
On the day of the audition, Zeng Li unexpectedly saw an acquaintance on the third floor of Rongchen Pictures.
"A Li?"
"Xiaomei?"
"Why are you here?"
"It's my turn to ask you this!" Mei Ting said with a smile.
She has been to Fairview Diamond many times.
Whether it is "Shoplifters" or "Parents' Love", Splendid Diamond is more familiar than Ceng Li.
Zeng Li is not embarrassed. She does not come here as often as Mei Ting.
The last time I came here was the audition for "Painted Skin". Li Congcheng defeated her and Sun Li and got the role of Pei Rong.
Two classmates from the class of 1996 met at Rongchen Pictures, and it felt like meeting an old friend in a foreign country.
Neither of them are natives of Beijing.
Mei Ting is one year older than Zeng Li, but Zeng Li always likes to call her Mei Ting Xiaomei in private.
"Are you here to audition for "Painted Skin 2" too?"
Mei Ting nodded and smiled: "What? Are you scared?"
Zeng Li gave her a blank look. : "What am I afraid of? You are the best actress in Cairo. I won't be embarrassed if I lose to you."
The old god Mei Ting said, "I'm afraid some people are telling the truth."
The two students knew the truth and started arguing until the staff of Rongchen Pictures came to ask Zeng Li to audition first.
Zeng Li greeted Mei Ting and entered the audition room first.
As soon as he entered the audition room, Zeng Li saw the three people sitting behind the long table.
She has met Director Li and Yang Siwei, and the other one is probably Wu Ershan, the director of "Painted Skin 2".
There were not many people in the audition room, but Zeng Li was still a little nervous, which made her feel like she was taking the art exam back then.
It was Director Li who was sitting in the middle. She really couldn’t understand why a young man’s eyes were so sharp.
Like the Buddha's light shining into the void, people dare not look directly.
Li Chen took a closer look at the beauty in front of him who was known as: a tone-deaf opera actress for eight years, and a 200-year-old Chinese opera actress who had died or been injured in hundreds of film and television works.
Everyone’s aesthetics are different. Perhaps the health-care practitioner had never seen many women in two hundred years, so he gave Zeng Li this title.
Including the four-thousand-year-old beauty in later generations, wearing such a title on the head is not a blessing but a burden!
Netizens also jokingly said that this woman could not be disfigured for a day but had food for a day.
Later, there was a post called "Why is it not popular enough despite having great beauty?" with more than one million clicks.
Li Chen nodded secretly in his heart. She is beautiful, but she is not exaggerated to this extent.
We haven’t seen each other for more than two years, Zeng Li hasn’t changed much.
She came to audition for the role of Pei Rong.
But because the appearance is too gorgeous and the slender face is too aggressive, it does not fit the role of Pei Rong.
Just let Li Chen pass.
But for the role of Princess Jing, she fits the role very well, and she has a heroic spirit in it.
"Director Li, Mr. Yang, Director Wu, I am the actor Zeng Li, here to audition for the role of Princess Jing."
Li Chen nodded: "You have read the audition script, let's start."
Zeng Li didn't say anything more, and after half a minute of preparation, he started to perform without any physical objects.
When he left Jinxiu Mingzuan, Zeng Li was not sure.
Zeng Li didn’t believe it was true until Mei Ting called her.
“You, you’re not kidding?”
Mei Ting smiled and said: "Who is joking about this? Director Li and I are familiar with each other."
"Director Li just said that Zeng Li is more suitable for this role than you. You can figure it out for yourself. .”
After hanging up the phone, Zeng Li absently called his agent Li Xiaowan.
Li Xiaowan contacted Yang Siwei again to confirm that it was correct.
Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan were also happy for Zeng Li.
Zeng Li felt like he could see the moonlight when the clouds opened.
Five years after graduation, her classmates Liu Ye, Zhang Ziyi, Qin Hailu, Mei Ting, and Hu Jing in the class of 1996 were all more popular than her.
This is completely different from the treatment I received in school back then.
She was also a popular figure in school back then, and was recognized as the most beautiful among her classmates.
There were countless people surrounding her.
Zhang Ziyi was just mediocre at that time, but who knew that in just ten years, she would become an ordinary person.
Zhang Ziyi is already an international Zhang.
She is still Zeng Li.
It’s really the fate of the people.
On the first day of July, Rongchen Pictures announced the casting results for "Painted Skin 2".
Xiao Wei: Zhou Xun
Princess Jing: Zeng Li
Huo Xin: Zhu Yawen
Pang Lang: Hu Ge
Queer: Yang Mi
Sirius Queen: Qin Lan
Sirius Wizard: Fei Xiang
As soon as the news was sent out, it sparked heated discussions among netizens.
In addition to Zhou Xun, "Painted Skin 2" has undergone a major change.
Both Gu Tianzhu and Li Xingzhu were replaced.
"Princess Jing Zeng Li, isn't this the most beautiful ghost in Painted Skin? It's almost enough to be called a ghost princess!"
"It's a big blood change! But again, except for Xiao Wei, I can't change it. I will watch anyone else!"< br>
“Li Chen also spares no effort to promote his own artists. Zhu Chuanwu from “The Legend of Guandong” turned into the male protagonist of “Painted Skin 2”!”
“Li Chen will not fall in love with the most beautiful ghost again, right? ? Zhou Xun, Yang Mi, Zeng Li. Li Chen is trying to catch Rong Xinda in one fell swoop!”
Zeng Li also saw the comments from netizens, and he didn’t expect that he had worked so hard on “The Barber”. 》No one knows.
On the contrary, the beautiful female ghost in the painting section of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" is still fresh in my memory!
Netizens are talking a lot, and the circle is also not calm.
In the Q group at the 96th level of Zhongxi Drama, messages come one after another.
Chen Minghao: "Am I right? Is the heroine of "Painted Skin 2" our Da Meili?"
Liu Ye: "That's right, I just gave it to Li I made a call and it was her.”
Mei Ting: "No need to doubt it, A Li and I went to the audition together!"
Hu Jing: "And this matter, why didn't I hear you two talk about it?"
Mei Ting : "We were invited to audition, and we didn't know about it until we went there."
Chen Minghao: "Dameili Ren is here, and she's also diving!"
At this moment, Zeng Li was also receiving countless congratulations. Telephone.
Even her class teacher, Professor Chang, who is an actress, also called her to encourage her.
A simple sentence: You are no worse than Zhang Ziyi, Mei Ting and others.
Zeng Lixin’s hair became hot and he burst into tears.
In Professor Chang’s eyes, she has always been the perfect candidate for Da Qingyi.
It’s a pity that she has been disappointing in recent years.
Zhang Ziyi, Hu Jing, and Qin Hailu all sent congratulatory messages.
Zeng Li responded patiently one by one.
Li Chen returned to the villa, and Miss Liu was rarely free today.
Nay Li Chen asked about the casting of "Painted Skin 2".
Whether it is Hu Ge or Qin Lan, they can basically have a relationship with her.
Li Chen was also dissatisfied with her. He chose these two people for Miss Liu's sake.
Of course, choosing Hu Ge can be regarded as giving Hu Ge a hand.
At least it can help him avoid the car accident in August.
Li Weida was like a ball, kicked by Shanghai Film to China Film, and then kicked by China Film to Rongchen Pictures.
Then now he is kicked away by Rongchen Pictures.
The reason given by Director Li was simple and crude: How about sending beggars away with this small share? In the future, someone else should hire Gao Ming for this kind of thing, but Rongchen Pictures looks down on it.
Li Chen sent Li Weida away, thinking that Li Weida would go to Huayi.
The result was not.
Successive obstacles made Li Weida once doubt whether he was actually in the country.
Returning to the United States in disgrace, the executives of Relativity Company were furious with Li Weida.
This failure directly caused Relativity Company to lose millions of dollars in deposits from Cheng Long and Jet Li.
Of course this is a later story.
Li Chen and Liu Yifei both graduated. Tian Zhuangzhuang found Li Chen and told him that the school's targeted training program had failed despite repeated studies.
The main concern is the personal safety of students, and the school cannot bear this responsibility.
Li Chen was not discouraged and found Han Sanping.
I hope he can find some willing children from Beijing Film Studio and sign contracts with the company to study abroad.
Han Sanping supported Li Chen's approach and promised to help him find a solution.
In the past half month, new star girls have appeared frequently.
Every time I see Zhou Xingchi taking Zhang Yuqi to do ‘morning exercises’ online.
Li Chen can always think of a lyric: Come to the left and draw a dragon with me!
It was really not easy for the star girl. She was wrapped around Zhou Xingchi's neck like a python in an acrobatic posture.
In addition to the star girls, Zhang Ziyi's nude substitute Shao Xiaoxian in "The Night Banquet" also became famous instantly.
Frontfoot Zhang Ziyi just admitted to the media in Cannes personally at the open-air PAPTY in Cannes.
In "The Night Banquet", the naked back in the bathing scene was not hers, nor was the breast touched by Ge You.
It was fine at first, but after returning to China, Shao Xiaoxian heard that Huayi's people did not admit that there was a naked substitute, and would not give her a signature.
Now Shao Xiaoxiu was unhappy, and he couldn't get in touch with Xiaogangpao.
She directly stood up and spoke out on the blog. She was Zhang Ziyi’s naked substitute.
With the sentence "The body you see is mine, since the film company doesn't give me a signature, I will let the public know in my own way" and successfully got out of the industry.
At this point, everyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on.
Hua Yi’s coquettish operation added fuel to the fire of "The Night Banquet".
Huayi's people contacted Shao Xiaoxian and asked her to shut up. They even said harsh words. If they want money, they still want drama!
This directly angered Shao Xiaoxi.
Shao Xiaoxian told the media that I would cost 20,000 yuan to act as Zhang Ziyi’s nude replacement.
This is not for hype. I have evidence in my hand. If you dare to threaten me, I will never end it with you!
Through this incident, Li Chen educated Yang Siwei.
Crisis public relations are most afraid of making mistakes.
The film crew didn’t even know whether Zhang Ziyi was naked or not. Even a three-year-old child couldn’t tell such a stupid lie.
The mainland is bustling with excitement, and Hong Kong and Taiwan are also bustling with excitement.
The combination of Feng angered Mrs. Xiang, but Zhang Baizhi still went his own way. The heroine of "Lust, Caution" has finally been decided, and to no surprise it is still Tang Wei.
Entering mid-July, "The Golden Jacket" is the first to apply for Oscars.
Huayi’s previous show of goodwill, giving up the Lunar New Year slot to “Golden Armor”, did not seem to buy it for Zhang Dapao.
Hua Yi is convinced that no one can compete with Lao Mouzi in this year’s Oscar competition.
Just because Lao Mouzi won the blessing of being a national teacher from the Olympic Games Chief Director, it would be in vain for anyone to go there.
Li Chen didn’t even sign up. When interviewed by the media, he simply replied: Maybe he will sign up next year.
"Thieves" is about to start filming. Li Chen accompanied Ms. Liu to get a neat short hair style.
Then, Li Chen and the crew set off for Hong Kong Island on July 13.
At the same time, Tim, the producer, also flew to Hong Kong Island from Europe and the United States to join Li Chen, along with Charlize Theron, Monica Bellucci, the globe-trotter, and a number of British and American actors.
After sending away the paparazzi stationed at Hong Kong Island Airport, Li Chen and others checked into the Peninsula Hotel.
Xiang Huaru hosted a banquet for Li Chen in the evening, but Li Chen did not refuse.
The distribution of "Thieves" on Hong Kong Island was either given to Ying Huang or to China Xuan.
Photos of Li Chen and Liu Yifei, who was wearing a new look with short hair, appearing in the Xiang family mansion in Kowloon Tong quickly went online.
Netizens are amazed by Liu Yifei's new look, which is less childish and more neutral and heroic.
After leaving the Xiang family villa, Xiang Hua and his wife put Li Chen and Li Chen into the car.
The couple turned back and sat in the living room. Xiang Huacheng was still not sure what Li Chen's trump card was.
After some testing just now, Li Chen declined his kindness, which made him even more unable to see through Li Chen's inner thoughts.
Mrs. Xiang handed her husband a glass of red wine, sat next to him and said, "Do you think his acquisition of Wireless is just posturing? Otherwise there is no need to reject us."
Xiang Hua shook his head. Shaking his head: "It's not like that, even though he is young, his net worth may not be worse than ours!"
"I have only seen such a young man in my life. He is an extraordinary person and does extraordinary things. Let's wait and see."
“Besides, there is nothing else we can help except funds.”
"This also shows from the side that he and the two mainland companies behind him have strong financial strength."
Huo Wenxi also came to visit Li Chen early the next morning.
Li Chen had no intention of continuing to hang on to Ying Huang. Huo Wenxi got an accurate answer and returned home with satisfaction.
At noon, hundreds of media from Hong Kong Island and the mainland gathered at the airport.
Theron and Monica, two gorgeous beauties, appeared at the airport, causing a brief congestion on Airport Road.
Five black Mercedes-Benz vehicles picked up Theron and several people and drove directly to the peninsula.
At the entrance of the peninsula, there are a lot of paparazzi waiting here.
The shutter button is like a Maxim machine gun, crazy to capture the peerless beauty of Theron and the globe flower.
Tim arrived at the hotel, settled in Theron and others, and immediately came to Li Chen's suite with Monica.
As soon as Li Chen and Liu Yifei opened the door, they saw Tim's white face and Monica's deep trench.
Monica, who has changed into a white suspender waistcoat and tight jeans, has an extraordinary mind.
"My dear boss, boss lady, it's wonderful to finally see you again." Tim opened his arms and wanted to hug Li Chen.
But he was pushed away by Li Chen and said with a smile: "Chinese people will not hug their bosses when they see them, they will only stand at attention and take a rest!"
Liu Yifei saw the embarrassment on Tim's face. It’s funny, a pair of beautiful eyes are also attracted to Monica’s deep groove intentionally or unintentionally.
Monica could not understand what Tim was speaking in Chinese.
Just a pair of violet eyes staring at Li Chen, seeing Li Chen looking at him.
Monica stepped forward and greeted Li Chen with a familiar smile: "Li, I promoted a "Manualed'Amore" for your drama, and you didn't come to the airport to pick her up. Me."
Li Chen smiled and said: "I don't want to do this. Let me introduce to you. This is my girlfriend: Crystal Liu."
Li Chen has already felt Miss Liu. His scorching eyes met, and he quickly made his attitude clear without answering Monica's words.
Monica then took a serious look at the Chinese girl in front of her, and compared it with herself. She didn't have the same big breasts and fat buttocks as herself, but it should be in line with the aesthetics of Eastern people.
Monica took the initiative to give Liu Yifei a kiss, and whispered in Liu Yifei's ear: "Keep an eye on Li, don't let him learn bad habits from Hollywood directors."
Liu Yifei was lost for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses and laughed. He replied in English: "Thank you, he doesn't dare!"
Li Chen only saw Miss Liu stabbing him with her beautiful eyes, and only heard the words "three grams of oil" and "he doesn't dare!"
A few people sat down and chatted for a while. After half an hour, Monica left.
Theron then came to report to Li Chen.
It is the first time that both parties have met, and Theron's appearance is actually more in line with Chinese aesthetics than Jolie's.
A shoulder-length golden hair, emerald eyes, and a standard small oval face.
He is nearly 1.8 meters tall. Even without wearing high heels, he is almost the same as Li Chen.
With this style, no wonder she is called the Hollywood Venus.
Li Chen is now looking forward to the next performance of the Oscar-winning actress.
He was not as familiar with Theron as he was with Monica, and the two briefly shook hands.
Theron also met this mysterious oriental man for the first time.
In fact, you can often see photos of this Oriental man on Hollywood's "Variety Show".
But just like ordinary Orientals, they are unremarkable.
But as soon as they met, the first thing that struck her about the young Palme d'Or director was that he had a particularly shining pair of dark eyes.
Like a master who can see through people's hearts, the way he looks at her is not as possessive as when other men look at her.
Li Chen introduced Miss Liu to Theron as usual.
Ms. Liu is very kind to Bellucci, but is more curious than admiring Theron.
This sister is a whole round older than her, but she is truly a talented person and an idol.
It’s not like the elder sister Qiuhua who taught her the charioteer’s scripture as soon as they met and chatted for a few words.
At six o'clock in the evening, Li Chen and a group of leading actors held a grand press conference at the Peninsula Hotel.
No less than 300 media outlets from Asian countries came.
Theron and Monica take the well-deserved spotlight.
Among the Chinese actors, only Tony Leung Ka Fai’s popularity and Liu Yifei’s popularity have not been ignored by the media.
A reporter from an island country asked in English: "Ms. Theron, can you tell me what Director Li Chen used to impress you?"
Sitting in the middle, Theron, wearing a black suspender skirt, flowing blond hair and flaming red lips, turned her head slightly to look at Li Chen sitting next to her.
"Lee is well-known in Hollywood and is as curious as this mysterious country in the East. When Smith found me, I was actually a little hesitant."
"Later I learned that it was Li Lai directed it, and I took it without hesitation, but it was delayed until now due to schedule issues."
Li Chen and Tim looked at each other and smiled. No one can be an Oscar-winning actress. Fool.
This wave of acting skills deceived the media and promoted Li Chen. It was really a joke.
The mainland Sina reporter then asked: "Ms. Monica, I heard that you and Director Li Chen met at the Venice Film Festival. Director Li Chen took the initiative to send you an invitation this time. Did you agree without even thinking about it?" ?”
Monica and Theron sat together, losing because of their age.
Even though she still retains her charm when she is over 40 years old, she still makes a judgment when she encounters the King of Sai at his peak.
However, the fullness of a pair of at least E-cup breasts is still powerful.
"Li and I are old friends. I have seen his talent as early as "Painted Skin". It's a pity that I was born twenty years earlier, otherwise Crystal would have no chance."
After saying that, he looked sideways at Li Chen and Liu Yifei with a smile.
The media and the main creators at the scene all laughed.
Another Hong Kong media stood up and asked: "Director Li, this time you chose Zhang Han and Mr. Zhang Han, who are broke from the Mainland, for the male lead. Aren't you afraid of box office failure?"
So sharp. The Hong Kong media heard that they were fighting for Hong Kong artists.
For this large-scale production, Tony Leung Ka-fai was used as the second male lead, but Zhang Hanyu, a supporting actor from the Mainland, was used as the first male lead.
It's really surprising.
The media focused their cameras on Li Chen.
Li Chen smiled softly: "My style of selecting actors always puts the compatibility with the characters first. As for the box office?"
"So far, as long as it is my script , the only one that failed at the box office was "Buried Alive", but the reputation and copyright transactions of "Buried Alive" have long been profitable."
"Besides, if you really want to talk about celebrity status, my script should at least be a top star, right? , do you really think that Miss Theron joined because of my mysterious oriental face?”
There was a translator next to Theron, and he applauded Li Chen after listening. The media once again saw Li Chen's humor.
Before Li Chen finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Han and Youdao, who looked calm on the outside but had ups and downs in his heart.
"As for what you said about being broke, it's even more of a joke. Actors have to rely on their acting skills to make a living after all. Those who rely on fame are celebrities, not actors!"
This can be said of Tony Leung Ka-fai and Zhang Han and his heart.
Several translators also translated Li Chen’s words to several European and American actors.
Everyone unanimously applauded Li Chen.
The Hong Kong media reporter who started the trouble felt hot on his face and sat down awkwardly.
A Baodao reporter stood up and asked again: "Director Li, is Liu Yifei now a star or an actor?"
Li Chen shook his head and chuckled: "As long as I am here, sooner or later she will be a star He's also an actor!"
Li Chen's ambiguous answer was instantly met with a flirtatious look from Miss Liu.
The press conference finally ended.
After returning to the room, as soon as Miss Liu closed the door, she couldn't help but jump up and hang on Li Chen.
The pair of round and powerful thighs held Li Chen in ecstasy.
"Woo"
Li Chen held Miss Liu's hips with both hands and fell down on the sofa.
"Why are you so good at speaking, and you are both an actor and a star? If you can't do it in the future, I won't let you go!"
"Okay, okay, it's best if you don't let me go for the rest of your life!" Li Chen joked with a smile and pressed Miss Liu's pink lips again.
Within two hours, Li Chen, Theron and Monica’s speeches at the press conference were posted online.
“Monica Bellucci was filming with her baby and regretted giving birth twenty years earlier, otherwise she would have been replaced by Liu Yifei.”
“Oscar-winning actress Theron showed off her perfect curves and released her alluring grace. Cool and charming.”
"Li Chen made a bold statement not to worry about the box office, and publicly supported Zhang Han and the male lead. The actor's and star's remarks were unanimously recognized by actors both inside and outside the scene."
Netizens in the mainland and most of the netizens in Hong Kong and Taiwan responded this time. The overwhelming advantage is Li Chen’s actor theory.
“Li Chen’s speech does not look like a student at first glance. If this is said by an artist of seventy or eighty years old, I would not be surprised! But this guy is only 25 years old.”
“It’s really awesome. Damn, my script is written by a big name! This sounds so exciting.”
“Xiao Lizi is not bragging. The price of the script is three million US dollars, not just the screenwriter’s salary in China. Achievable.”
"Liu Yifei will be both an actor and a star sooner or later. Can I understand that Xiao Lizi will cheat in the future and use resources to smash my Bai Yueguang!"
Li Chen did not expect that he would be an actor with a simple sentence The difference with celebrities is that so many people called me.
The first person to call was Tian Zangzang.
Tian Zhuangzhuang received many calls from his friends, all congratulating him on the good seedlings.
It made Tian Zhuangzhuang dumbfounded. Li Chen basically relied on the children’s own efforts along the way.
He simply contributed to the review of "Shoplifters".
After that, I just blocked the pressure from those old guys for Li Chen.
The real achievements are achieved by Li Chen’s successful and successful movies one after another.
Han Sanping also called and said some inexplicable words of encouragement and praise.
Li Chen later realized that his words seemed to have reached the hearts of those old artists.
After a day's rest, "Thieves" started shooting on Hong Kong Island on July 15.
Li Chen has already done a script reading with many actors.
In the first scene, Chinese and foreign thieves meet for the first time on Hong Kong Island.
Market record printing.
“Action!”
The second floor of the restaurant.
Poetry (Antonio Banderas) in a suit, the cool and beautiful Anneko (Theron) and Giampano (Dan Stevens) in a suit and tie are sitting together. Around the round table.
Poppy holds a cigar in his right hand and wears a fake beard on his face.
"Hey, smile, smile." Poppy first showed a fake smile and looked towards the door.
Annico and Giampano also looked back and grinned.
Lens transition.
Liang Jiahui is wearing a pair of black sunglasses, a white shirt and white trousers.
As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty and filial, the imposing Liang Jiahui led the four Chinese thieves and slowly walked towards the three of them with smiles on their faces.
Wearing a floral shirt and the same pair of black sunglasses, Wang Qianyuan walked up and down as if he was suffering from epilepsy. He looked at the three foreigners opposite and laughed as they walked: "Idiot, it's so hot, and you still wear such clothes. Lots of clothes!"
Liu Yifei, with short hair and tight black half-sleeves, looked at the three people opposite her with one hand in her pocket and said with a smile: "Yeah, what's so funny, idiot!"
The four of them sat at a table not far from Theron and the others.
Wang Qianyuan walked towards the three foreigners, not caring whether they understood or not, and uttered sweet fragrance: "It's the American girls who are more exciting!"
Liu Yifei continued smoothly: "Yes. Ah, it’s not only exciting, it’s also delicious!”
In this line, Li Chen replaced the original South Korean plastic surgery with the body odor of a foreigner.
Following that, Wang Qianyuan got up and wandered over to Theron to tease Theron.
Giampano, who understands Chinese, heard Wang Qianyuan ask the goddess in her heart if she had had plastic surgery on her face and if her breasts had been enlarged.
His face changed instantly: "Get out of here!"
Wang Qianyuan was stunned, this pretty boy could actually speak Chinese.
Poppie and Theron couldn't understand what they were talking about until Giampano translated.
Theron got up in anger and started chattering in English: "You fucking pig-headed uncle, do you know how difficult it is to be so naturally beautiful!"
Wang Qianyuan patted Theron on the shoulder: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay."
When Giampano saw that Wang Qianyuan's paw dared to pat the goddess's shoulder, he immediately stood up and grabbed Wang Qianyuan's wrist.
Wang Qianyuan didn't take this pretty face seriously at all, and waved his hand: "How dare you catch me!"
Unexpectedly, this pretty face's hands were like pliers, and he didn't shake them away. The pretty boy pressed me down again!
Wang Qianyuan did not believe in evil and shook it again: "How dare you catch me!"
Still didn't let go, now Wang Qianyuan became angry.
He took out a gun from his waist and put it against Giampano's chest: "Look at you brat! Believe it or not, I will kill you with one shot!"
Liang Jiahui, Liu Yifei , Luo Jin and the other three couldn't sit still when they saw Wang Qianyuan pulling out a gun.
Liang Jiahui walked around the round table, while Liu Yifei and Luo Jin were advising Wang Qianyuan.
Theron and Poppy were also startled and leaned back unconsciously.
Liang Jiahui stepped forward and grabbed Wang Qianyuan's gun hand with one hand, and directly unloaded his gun with the other hand.
Then he patted Giampano on the shoulder and smiled: "Sorry!"
Giampano spread his hands: "It's okay!"
Wang Qianyuan turned around and wanted to continue. Teasing Theron.
Theron directly picked up a cup of scalding coffee and threw it on Wang Qianyuan's face.
Wang Qianyuan yelled: "It's so hot, so hot! Cool water, get cold water!"
After pouring the coffee, Theron walked out of the door to smoke, leaving Poppai and Giampano to deal with the aftermath.
“Crack!”
The first scene, I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly, just once.
Theron walked to Wang Qianyuan: "Are you okay."
Wang Qianyuan crammed in English for a while, and after understanding it, he waved his hand: "It's Nothing."
Li Chen ordered the staff to prepare for the second scene.
Zhang Hanyu is ready, this is his first appearance.
Theron also said that there is no problem and you can continue.
“Action!”
Theron took out a cigarette and touched all over his body, but couldn't find a lighter.
Suddenly, a Zippo clicked near her mouth: "Come with Poppy?"
Theron's cigarette was lit, and she looked at the forty-year-old man in front of her. Next year's mysterious man: "Uncle is Macau Lee?"
Like Poppai, Da Xia is also dressed in a suit and brown sunglasses, and his appearance is not impressive.
Zhang Hanyu laughed at himself. Only he knew how much sadness was mixed with the title Macao Li.
Who is willing to come to Macau to make a living unless it is a last resort?
Theron was smoking alone, feeling a little disdainful of Zhang Hanyu: "It smells like alcohol."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Hanyu handed the handbag to him. Her: "Take it."
Theron took it subconsciously and continued to smoke.
Zhang Hanyu squatted down and carefully looked at Theron's slender legs under the miniskirt. She couldn't help but touch them.
Theron lowered his head in shock: "Oh, wait a minute."
Zhang Hanyu seemed not to have heard: "Are you a rope climber?"
Theron answered the wrong question: "Be careful, this The skirt is very short”
Zhang Hanyu: “Women want short skirts and long hair”
“Ka!”
Li Chen gave Zhang Hanyu a thumbs up, and his momentum with Theron was not weak at all.
In the next week, the scenes in Hong Kong Island were all literary dramas.
Before leaving Hong Kong Island, Li Chen was drawn into the vortex of his former star girl again.
It turns out that Huang Shanyi signed a high-profile contract with the new owner Zhongshi Film and Television Culture, but was completely blocked by Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Because Huang Shanyi is currently involved in a lawsuit with Xinghui.
Therefore, Hong Kong and Taiwan TV stations have not dared to buy TV series starring her recently.
Previously, the contract dispute between Zhang Weijian and his former agency almost led to the ban of "Little Fish and Flowers" on Hong Kong Island.
Later, the dispute was resolved before it could be broadcast.
Because of this, if mainland producers currently want to sell TV series to Hong Kong and Taiwan, indeed many producers will not use Huang Shengyi.
Except for this wonderful one.
Zhou Xingchi has a large sphere of influence in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and many TV stations give Zhou Xingchi face.
On the other hand, according to the laws of Hong Kong Island, as long as the artist breaks the contract during the contract period to participate in other companies' films.
Then the brokerage company can apply for a "broadcasting ban" so that the TV series cannot be broadcast in Hong Kong Island.
In addition, Li Chen soft-banned Star Girl some time ago, and the media made a lot of hype, saying that he teamed up with Zhou Xingchi to suppress mainland artists.
As soon as the hat was off, Huang Shanyi’s fans, netizens and people who couldn’t stand Li Chen all attacked him.
Yang Siwei sneered in her heart. She knew exactly who was behind this.
It is basically impossible to get them to surrender and make his boss bow his head, based on her understanding of her boss.
Li Chen made a phone call to Yang Siwei.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Siwei sneered, waiting for the call from his boss.
