Chapter 157 Eternal Protagonist
Wu Ershan was straightforward and did not cover up for Yang Mi.
"Her acting skills are still a bit superficial. She needs to calm down and work hard to think about it."
Yang Mi twitched the corner of her mouth, looking a little embarrassed.
"Well, Director Wu, senior, I will think about it carefully."
Li Chen looked at Yang Mi, nodded with a smile, and said nothing.
On the other hand, Zhou Xun, who was next to him, helped Yang Mi by saying, "Director Li, Mimi is still working hard, but she just needs time to grow up."
Zeng Li and Hu Ge I can't get a word in from the side.
Yang Mi was like a child who had done something wrong, a little uneasy.
She could feel that the seniors came to visit the class mainly because they were worried about her.
Li Chen didn't answer Zhou Xun's words, nor did he go to comfort Yang Mi.
But he said to Wu Ershan: "You go on, just pretend I don't exist."
Li Chen was on the set and watched all afternoon.
Yang Mi’s performance can be summed up in four words: as dull as water.
This is not something that can be helped by just showing affection and reasoning with her.
If she can't see her own problem clearly, it will be useless for anyone to come.
After the show ended in the evening, Yang Mi walked up to Zhou Xun, feeling depressed: "Sister Xun, is the senior angry? You didn't say a word to me."
Zhou Xun Weiwei Yixiao: "Director Li has this temper. If he doesn't tell you, you can take the initiative to talk to him."
"If you don't take the initiative, are you still waiting for Director Li to take the initiative? You think you are Yifei Huh?”
“Alas!”
Yang Mi smiled helplessly and sighed.
I was thinking: I wonder how the seniors would treat Yifei if she encountered this situation?
Not far away, Zeng Li finally found an opportunity and stepped forward to talk to Li Chen.
Li Chen encouraged her and walked away with Wu Ershan.
In the afternoon, he reviewed the images he had taken previously.
I already knew it in my mind: "Director Wu, Yang Mi's crying scene will be re-filmed tomorrow."
"If this still happens, just cut this scene!"
Wu Ershan was stunned for a while, and then said after a long while: "I understand, Director Li. In fact, this crying scene is dispensable, and it will not affect it if it is cut."
Li Chen nodded: "It's okay. , you go and call Yang Mi, I’ll have a chat with her.”
Yang Mi heard that her senior was looking for her.
I felt inexplicably uneasy.
Looking at Yang Mi, who was slowly walking up to her, she looked like a primary school student who had done something wrong.
Li Chen was quite amused: "Why are you looking like this? I'm not going to scold you, just come with me for a walk."
Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly: "Yeah . ”
“Mimi, I just told Director Wu that the scene where you cried before your death will be re-filmed tomorrow. ”
"If there is still no progress, the scene will be cut."
"Ah! Why should it be cut? Senior?"
"Why should it be cut, don't you know yourself?"< br>
Yang Mi’s face was gloomy, and she felt a little inexplicably aggrieved.
This scene went NG for more than a dozen times, but in the end it ended because of the senior’s words.
All the hard work I had done before was in vain.
Li Chen observed the words and said: "Do you feel aggrieved?"
Yang Mi lowered her eyelids and remained silent.
Li Chen sneered: "That's better than having the movie released and others using your acting skills as a target to criticize.
Yang Mi was silent for a while, then raised her head and said: "Senior, am I really that bad?
"In that case, why did you sign me in the first place?"
Li Chen paused slightly, but he didn't expect Yang Mi to ask such a question.
It caught him a bit off guard.
Yes, why did Yang Mi, who had no acting skills, sign her in the first place?
Should you tell her?
Sooner or later you will become famous.
What I like is your ability to attract money.
Li Chen couldn't help but laugh: "When I sign people, I comprehensively evaluate their potential in all aspects."
"Even if you can't become an actor like Gong Li or Zhou Xun, Strength."
"I also believe that it depends on your own personal conditions."
"Sooner or later you will become famous, just like what I said to the media before about the difference between actors and stars?"
"I have never doubted that you will become a big star. But I am not satisfied with you just becoming A star becomes an idol.”
“Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Yang Mi looked at the senior blankly.
She never knew that her senior thought so highly of herself.
Have such high expectations for yourself?
Looking at Yang Mi, who was looking up at her in trance.
Li Chen thought for a while and then said: "Okay, don't look at me like that. I will say hello to Wu Ershan."
"That scene will not be cut, good or bad. Maybe this is not a bad thing, at least for you.” Treated.”
Li Chen laughed loudly, and Yang Mi herself felt a little embarrassed, and her face turned slightly red.
At this moment, Yang Mi finally looked a little softer than a girl.
Li Chen did not stay in the snow area for long.
We returned to the capital early the next morning.
Liu Yifei came to pick up the machine.
Exited the airport VIP channel and got in the car.
A couple who hadn’t seen each other for a few days couldn’t help but kiss passionately in the car.
The familiar smell of Miss Liu made Li Chen, who had been a monk for several days, impatient.
"Drive! Go home! Sissi! Hurry up, I can't wait any longer."
Miss Liu shook her head and put on her sunglasses.
But she didn't follow his wishes: "I didn't want to, so I drove slowly. Someone was hugging me from left to right in Venice. I didn't even go back home, so I went to see Yang Mi."
"Now I think of it. It’s too late!”
Li Chen laughed loudly and kissed Miss Liu again on the face.
He still said: "Did Shu Chang tell you a story about me again? I lived a dull life in Venice than a monk. Where can I hug you?"
Liu Yifei was driving. Bian said: "You are unjustly accused, but the photos of you and Scarlett in the hotel are all online. Do you think I can't see it?"
"Hey! What did I mean to say to you? That's just a cheek-to-cheek gift. Should I take the initiative to push people away? That's too rude."
"Besides, foreigners can only look from a distance, not Look closer."
"Otherwise, just the fine hairs on the skin can scare you away."
Liu Yifei couldn't help but laugh: "How can you be like this? Arranged by her? She is one of the top 100 sexiest actresses in the world."
Li Chen smiled as if she had honey on her lips: "In my eyes, she is the sexiest in the entire universe, let alone the world. You are the only one.”
Liu Yifei listened calmly, stepped on the accelerator, and with a pop, the Porsche sped out.
After returning home, Liu Yifei parked the car.
Li Chen was about to get out of the car when Liu Yifei unbuckled her seat belt and sat directly between Li Chen's legs.
Li Chen was stunned: "Qian Qian, what are you going to do?"
Liu Yifei's face turned red: "Don't play with me. In Hollywood, who is causing trouble in the car?"< br>
Li Chen laughed loudly: "If you see through it, I won't be polite."
The Porsche's seat slowly fell down.
The familiar music in the car sounded again.
The mixture of men’s and women’s gasps is mesmerizing.
It took a long time for Li Chen to get enough of his addiction.
Looking at the fair-skinned and trembling Miss Liu in front of her.
Li Chen suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar.
By the way, it was the terrible dream that night.
Miss Liu sat up and neatly put on her underwear and yellow bubble skirt.
He said meaningfully: "You must be honest!"
Looking at Miss Liu with a flushed face, Li Chen didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while.
The two got dressed and got out of the car before returning home.
After entering the room, the two took another mandarin duck bath together.
In a large bathtub that can accommodate three people.
Miss Liu leaned lazily on Li Chen, not wanting to move.
His fingers were tapping up and down on Li Chen's chest like playing a piano.
Li Chen hugged her and remembered something: "Qianqian, you and Shu Chang will start training on the 15th."
Liu Yifei raised her head: "Archery?"
< br>Li Chen nodded in response.
In order to film "Put on a Bow, Dad", Li Chen specially found a retired archery athlete.
Provide formal archery training to Liu Yifei and Shu Chang.
Originally, Li Chen planned to choose the role of sister.
But Miss Liu’s words made Li Chen give up the idea. In reality, the two were originally best friends and sisters.
It’s not inappropriate to play sisters in the movie.
Returned to the company the next day.
Another pile of invitations was placed in front of Li Chen.
What fashion ceremony? Golden Horse Awards Ceremony.
If Li Chen remembers correctly, this should be the second time the Golden Horse Awards invites him.
He made it clear last time.
This year I will only go to Baihua, not the Golden Horse.
But this year there was a mainland delegation from the Film Bureau, and they suddenly decided not to go to the Golden Horse.
There are many reasons.
Some mainland actors said that previous Golden Horse Awards have discriminated against mainland actors.
Not only does the accommodation fee require a deposit, but you also have to pay out of your own pocket.
The Golden Horse Organizing Committee will not admit it even to death.
The two sides were arguing with each other, and even Zhou Xun was hesitant to go.
Li Chen told her not to worry about it and just go when she should.
After all, this year’s Golden Horse, if I remember correctly, Zhou Xun still has a Golden Horse Best Actress to win.
No one can refuse to go, he will still go.
In half a month, "Father's Love is Like a Mountain 2" will be released.
Li Chen continued to lead the starring actors Liu Dehua and Fan Zhitong without stopping, and began to make the final sprint for "Father's Love Like a Mountain 2".
The premiere of "The Night Banquet", I heard the response was enthusiastic.
The audience all applauded, whether it was music or stories, there was nothing bad about it.
Fortunately, Li Chen was still in Hollywood when it premiered.
Otherwise, Li Chen would have to embarrass Xiaogangpao again.
Let him praise Feng Xiaogang's bad feet without conscience, then he might as well encourage the poet.
A poet who has been silent for several months.
Finally came out again.
This time, Chen Kaige finally returned to the script-centered route.
The dismal ending of "The Promise" at the North American box office should have sobered up Chen Kaige.
Right now, Chen Kaige is studying Mei Lanfang's script with screenwriter Yan Lin in the United States.
This is probably what Chen Kaige learned the hard way, amidst the bombardment of Wuji.
I understood the most fundamental thing about the movie that I had deviated from: the script.
This time I put a lot of effort into polishing the script and striving for excellence.
The first stop for publicity is the Magic City.
The day we arrived in the Magic City was also the first day of the nationwide release of "The Banquet".
Li Chen and the leading actors once again came to the Grand Hyatt Hotel where "Father's Love is Like a Mountain 2" was filmed.
The multi-functional screening room that can accommodate 750 people, booked in advance, is already packed with media and movie fans.
Outside the hotel, there are also many Andy Lau fans who came from all over the country.
In a business car bound for the Oriental Grand Hyatt Hotel, Fan Congcheng had returned to normal.
She seemed to have forgotten everything about that night.
Of course Li Chen would not mention it.
In the car, Liu Dehua and Fan Chou sat together.
Li Chen sat alone.
Sitting behind them were Chen Baoguo and Chen Shu.
Liu Dehua turned to look at Li Chen and said with a smile: "Li Chen, the media will definitely give you some hard questions today."
"The Night Banquet will be released nationwide, and the media will definitely want to hear about you. Comments on "The Night Banquet"
The three of them, Chen Baoguo, were also smiling.
No one knows Li Chen’s style now.
I have always dared to speak and tell the truth!
Often one sentence can detonate the entertainment industry.
Fan Zhengyi smiled charmingly: "Brother Chen, you have to be merciful today."
""The Night Banquet" is produced by our company after all. Just for my sake, Please take some care of me, a Huayi person.”
“Otherwise, if the media asks me later, how can you make me feel so embarrassed?”
"Don't worry, if they want to ask me about "The Night Banquet", I haven't watched "The Night Banquet" yet."
"What should I evaluate? Besides, I don't need to judge whether it's good or bad. It's being released nationwide today. Movie fans Will give the correct answer.”
Li Chen thinks well, but the wish is beautiful, and the reality is skinny.
A few people got off the car at the door of the hotel.
I heard Andy Lau’s fans shouting crazily.
Fortunately, there are many security guards maintaining order.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for a few people to escape from the siege of movie fans.
All the way to the multi-functional screening room.
Movie fans are easy to talk to, but how could the media let Li Chen and the other leading actors go?
The questions asked are more tricky than the last.
The question asked to Andy Lau was: "Hua Zai, do you think the box office of "The Banquet" or "Father's Love Like a Mountain 2" was higher?"
How could this question stump the emotionally intelligent Andy Lau?
Liu Dehua said with a smile: "Xiao Gang and Li Chen are both among the best directors in China."
"If you ask me which of their movies has the lower box office?"
"I will definitely answer that no one will be lower."
"But you want to ask me, whose movie between the two has a higher box office?"
"Then I can only answer you, you will know after comparing."
There was a lot of laughter at the scene.
Liu Dehua is still Liu Dehua.
Come to Fan Clan's question.
This left Fan Chong helpless.
"栤椤, your contract with Huayi is about to expire. Is Rongchen Pictures your next company?"
Fan Yuchen lamented in her heart that this problem has been bothering her for a long time recently. .
Whether it is the media, Huayi, or her agent.
Basically, people ask her the same question every day.
She could only answer: "My contract will expire next year, and I haven't considered these issues yet."
After saying that, she glanced at Li Chen intentionally or unintentionally.
There are not many points that Chen Shu and Chen Baoguo can dig out.
The media did not respond tit for tat.
At the end it was Li Chen’s turn.
No one expected that the media would ask: "In the battle for the Olympic bid between "The Night Banquet" and "The Golden Jackpot", who do you think more favorably?"
Li Chen knew the answer to this question even with his eyes closed, then It must be Zhang Yimou.
The leading actors all looked at Li Chen.
In their opinion, Li Chen should not offend anyone.
Do Tai Chi like Andy Lau.
But Li Chen is not such a person.
He is not afraid of offending people. Today, he is destined to steal the headlines of "The Night Banquet" again.
The scene was quiet, and everyone turned their attention to Li Chen.
The media must be hoping that Li Chen can speak as sharply as before.
Li Chen has never let them down.
"I haven't watched either movie, so I can't comment on who will win?"
"But even if he wins, so what?"
"From the perspective of the 2002 "Heroes" We Chinese filmmakers all seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding. "What misunderstanding? It's the misunderstanding that only the so-called big productions can win the Olympics."
" Line-up, luxurious production team, high production costs”
"But the script that should be the most focused on often becomes the weakest link."
"So in the past few years, only "Hero" has been nominated for the best foreign language film among Chinese-language films."
< br>"It's just a nomination."
"At its root, it's actually very simple."
"How can you win if you compare your weaknesses with the other party's strengths?"
"Our strength lies in script creation. None of the three award-winning works produced by Yimou Director in Europe relied on so-called big productions."
"The script is the main line, and the rest are auxiliary."
"The direction is wrong. No matter how many times you rush, it will be a useless effort!"
Li Chen's amazing words caused thousands of waves with one stone.
The media and several other creators were stunned.
