Chapter 447 Return to Cannes
"Lao Hou, how is Sun Li?" Li Chen asked Hou and Kong in one sentence.
The two seemed to understand what Li Chen meant.
“Let her try it first? But there is a big gap between her and Fan Congcheng.”
“And she has a wide frame, so her costume is definitely not as good as other actresses’ tops. "Hou Hongliang's eyes were very poisonous, and he could see Jiang Xin's shortcomings at a glance.
Jiang Xin's face and frame are two extremes.
When the actresses heard that Jiang Xin was auditioning for Concubine Hua, their minds were filled with a hundred thousand whys?
"Isn't it Liu Yifei's help? Both of them have played Tianlong, and I didn't hear how close they are."
"Jiang Xin can play Concubine Hua, I He can play Zhen Huan.”
“Jiang Xin can audition for the role of Concubine Hua, so can I? It doesn’t seem like Fan Clan has been cast.”
The news of the audition could not be hidden from the media at all.
Not to mention so many people and so many mobile phones.
The producer of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is also a leading company in the industry.
Soon, someone broke the news on Weibo.
Hua Fei did not decide on Fan Chou, Jiang Xin was also auditioning.
Fan Zhitong also saw this news.
But now her focus is on the big screen.
In "The Legend of Zhen Huan" she didn't pay too much attention to it, and she wasn't playing the role of Zhen Huan.
Netizens and fans of the original novel immediately joined forces to put this piece of gossip on the hot search list.
Many people don’t even have an impression of Jiang Xin.
"A third-tier actor plays Concubine Hua, Xiao Lizi, please don't ruin the original work!"
"If you don't want to cast Fan Congtong, Li Congtang will do!"
"Little Li Zi is awesome, he can obviously cast Andy Lau, But you insist on finding Ouyang Zhenhua! How can that be the same?"
Jiang Xin was still auditioning, but Li Chen's cell phone rang.
"Bitch is just hypocritical." Jiang Xin seemed to have made a lot of preparations.
Li Chen was in a trance after saying one line.
Li Chen saw the revelations on Weibo and already had an idea in his mind.
Hou Hongliang and Kong Sheng had a conflict.
On the one hand, Jiang Xin really excelled in this audition, but on the other hand, I always felt that Jiang Xin's role as Concubine Hua was a shortcoming.
Jiang Xin’s series of performances ended.
The defendant felt uneasy and seemed to be waiting for the verdict.
Although she knows that the results of a face-to-face notification are minimal, unless your acting skills really explode and there are no other unspoken factors to interfere.
"Director Li, Mr. Hou, Director Kong, my performance is over."
Li Chen smiled and nodded.
"Let me tell you news, your audition for Concubine Hua has been on the hot search. Online public opinion and fans of the original novel are very resistant to your performance as Concubine Hua. Do you have anything to say?"
Hou Hongliang and Kong Sheng were startled, and they both picked up their phones and looked at it.
The Internet has exploded at this time, and many people don’t even believe this gossip at all.
Jiang Xin was also stunned, but based on her intuition, she felt that Director Li in front of her didn't seem to care much about public opinion.
Jiang Xin paused for two seconds and said confidently: "I think I am Concubine Hua!"
Li Chen smiled knowingly, nodded, and looked at Hou Konger again Person: "What do you two think of her?"
Hou Hongliang smiled and said: "You are the investor and the producer, you decide."
Kong Sheng also had no objection. For people like them in the industry, it is impossible to listen to netizens and fans of the original work when choosing actors. Opinion.
It depends on acting skills or relationships.
Jiang Xin's heart was tormented and his whole body was tense.
“Just her, even if Fan Congcheng comes, she may not be as good as her.”
Jiang Xin was so happy that he didn't expect it to happen.
"Thank you, Director Li, thank you, Director Li. I will definitely not let you down."
Li Chen smiled and waved his hands, not caring about Jiang Xin's incoherence.
Wait for Jiang Xin to go out.
Hou Hongliang said: "You choose her, but you are under a lot of pressure. If you are not popular after the broadcast, the vicious tongues of fans of the original book will not let you go."
"Am I still afraid of the venomous comments from netizens? I chose her because she is indeed suitable, and also to prove to the outside world that there is no unofficial decision, and everyone has a chance."
When Zhao Liying came in, she was obviously a little excited.
The people from Noon Sunshine have just talked with her. As soon as Huayi's contract expires, the company will sign a contract with her.
"Director Li, Mr. Hou, Director Kong." Zhao Liying smiled with a chubby face.
“Don’t envy others, act with heart, opportunities always come to those who are prepared.” Li Chen looked at Zhao Liying and said with a smile.
Zhao Liying understood and became even more excited.
"I understand, Director Li, thank you, thank you" Zhao Liying bowed again and again.
Director Li's words were almost equivalent to telling her that the future would be bright and prosperous.
Only after Jiang Xin left Splendid Diamond did he have time to read Weibo. One look made me break out in a cold sweat.
The Internet was almost unanimously unfavorable about her playing Concubine Hua.
A netizen with a venomous tongue said bluntly that if the crew of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" cast Jiang Xin to play the role of Concubine Hua, they would be either blind or have a loose waistband, implying that she was being unwritten.
Jiang Xin debuted as a child star and has auditioned 800 times, so it’s not like he has never seen the nastiness in it.
Today is the cleanest and most enjoyable time.
I feel even more grateful to Li Chen.
Reporters sought confirmation from Rongchen Pictures and Noon Sunshine.
Getting a definite answer, the role of Concubine Hua was indeed played by Jiang Xin, and Director Li personally gave the nod.
Online public opinion was in an uproar.
"Is Liu Yifei trying too hard, Xiao Lizi is henpecked."
"Little Liz has hidden rules, Jiang Xin, even fantasy novels don't write like this."
"My family doesn't like Concubine Hua! It's not that Xiao Li is blind, it's that we are big-hearted!"
Li Chen didn't care about the public opinion on the Internet, but Fan Yu's studio hurriedly stood up and responded. It was a pity that I missed the opportunity to play "The Legend of Zhen Huan" due to schedule reasons.
Fan Zhengtong called Li Chen again, fearing that she would be misunderstood that she was instigating 'Bingbang' to cause trouble behind his back.
International Online Reprinted from The Hollywood Daily Report
“At this Cannes Film Festival, two Chinese Palme d’Or directors will appear in Cannes together, which has been compared by Cannes officials to the Palme d’Or returning home.”
"For this reason, Cannes officially screened "Passengers" as the finale to welcome Li Chen back to Cannes."
"Chen Kaige's "The Orphan of Zhao" has not been screened because it has not completed filming. "
On the day of the premiere of "Ocean Paradise", Li Chen did his best. Not only did he support it in person, he also promoted Xue Xiaolu on Weibo.
The media and film critics also praised it.
Li Lianjie walked onto the red carpet with a pair of daughters as a loving father.
But when the box office came out on the first day, it was still hard to say anything about it.
Sina Entertainment News
""Ocean Paradise" directed by Xue Xiaolu and starring Li Lianjie, Zhu Yilong, Deng Jiajia, and Dong Yong was released nationwide yesterday."
"More The theater chain responded to the call of the media and increased the love scene of "Ocean Paradise" to support the most touching movie in the past 20 years." .
Fortunately, Li Chen had already flown to Cannes, otherwise she wouldn't have known how to face this friend who supported her so much.
Before Li Chen arrived at Cannes, he already knew the first-day box office of "Ocean Paradise": 2.15 million.
It is different from the earlier trip to Cannes where the crew of Fan Zhitong and Wang Xiaoshuai's "Rizhao Chongqing" went.
Li Chen's treatment is simply dozens of times better than that of Fan Zhitong and Wang Xiaoshuai.
Li Chen and Li Ming took off from Beijing and Hong Kong Island respectively.
Also coming with Li Chen was the crew of Wu Bin's "The Ancient City".
Both of these two films have the highest investment costs for Rongchen Pictures this year.
Of course you can’t miss the Cannes stage.
As soon as he landed, Li Chen was pursued and intercepted by media from various countries.
At the airport, there were many international student fans shouting the name of ‘Little Plum’.
Although "Passengers" did not apply for this year's Cannes.
However, Cannes officials still regard "Passengers" as the final screening film.
This shows the importance attached to Li Chen.
The major French media reported that he and Chen Kaige gathered in Cannes this time with the eye-catching title "China's Golden Palm Returns to Cannes".
There is also "Palme d'Or director Li Chen who wrote a touching chapter of space love in the romantic capital of France" to introduce the science fiction romance film "Passengers".
The French like romance, and space romance is even more romantic to the extreme.
“Brother Xiao Ming, Director Li’s influence is too great.” Zhang Yuqi was amazed.
When the media from various countries met Li Chen, they were like a young swallow falling into his arms. The crew of "The Ancient City" became completely redundant.
"Can it be bigger? Whether Director Li is at home or abroad, I am afraid that only Director Yimou can compare with him." Huang Xiaoming was also shocked.
In fact, in his opinion, without the blessing of the 2008 Olympics, Director Yimou would have no advantage over Director Li.
What's more, Director Li is too young.
“Boss, you are so prescient!”
Yang Siwei admired him deeply.
Taking romance in France is as congenial as talking about politics in Berlin.
Li Chen said with a smile without a red face and a heartbeat: "With this going on in Cannes, Director Chen should shut up."
Yang Siwei laughed heartily and secretly sighed that the boss was really a talent.
With Director Chen’s arrogant character, I am afraid that only his boss can make him shut up.
Li Chen arrived at the hotel and reported to Miss Liu that she was safe.
