Chapter 453: The finalist is already the winner
Li Chen did not show up on the red carpet of the closing ceremony in Cannes.
Firstly, because he has no works to participate in the competition.
Secondly, he knows that there are still no Chinese works in Cannes this year.
Why do you need to provide material for the media?
After seeing off Nolan and his party, Li Chen and others will also leave for home the next day.
The crew of "Rizhao" waited until sunset without even waiting for a call from the organizer.
Everyone knows exactly what this means.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was dull, Fan Zhiqi opened his mouth and said with a deliberate smile: "Teacher Wang, let me give Director Wang a call."
Wang Xueqi smiled casually: "No, that's not the case yet. If you call, it’s gone.”
"Presumably Wang Xiaoshuai is already buying air tickets."
"He won't go to the closing red carpet, so I won't go either. You can go, you are different."
>Fan Zhitong really wanted to go, but the entire crew didn't want to go, and she was a little hesitant.
The doorbell of Fan Clan's room rang.
Fan Zhengtong opened the door in confusion: "Brother Chen, why are you here?"
Fan Zhitong looked surprised, and Li Chen and Yang Siwei were standing at the door.
"What, you're not welcome? Master Fan?" Yang Siwei retorted with a sneer.
Fan Congyi rolled his eyes at her: "If I don't welcome you, I don't dare not welcome Brother Chen!"
Fan Congyi invited the two of them in.
Wang Xueqi and Mu Xiaoguang stood up and said with a smile: "Director Li is here?"
Li Chen and Mu Xiaoguang nodded and smiled with Wang Xueqi: "Teacher Wang's acting skills have been proven in "Mei Lanfang"."
"I came here to see if there is a chance to cooperate with Teacher Wang. . ”
Wang Xueqi’s heart felt like ice and snow melted instantly.
The heart that had just hit rock bottom became active again.
When you come to Cannes, who doesn’t want to be the emperor?
He is a soldier, and the procedures for going abroad are particularly complicated. If it is not for the golden branch, why should he bother.
What's more, Liang Chaowei can do it, Li Xuejian can do it, and even Ge You can do it. What's wrong with him?
It’s just luck.
Fan Zhengcheng’s eyes widened even more, is this the end of the matter?
Mu Xiaoguang was also happy, he knew that choice was more important than hard work.
"Haha, Director Li is too polite."
"Yes, Brother Chen, you are too polite. Please take a seat." Fan Zhitong looked attentive.
Wang Xueqi is her artist. If she hadn't refused Wang Xiaoshuai's birthday party, she would almost be sure.
Brother Chen will never visit today.
Coming to the door at this time is tantamount to giving someone timely help.
Especially for Wang Xueqi, the absolute star of "Rizhao" who aspires to be the emperor in Cannes.
After several people sat down, Wang Xueqi said: "I wonder what cooperation Director Li refers to?"
Before Li Chen opened his mouth, Yang Siwei smiled and said: "Yes. That’s it, Teacher Wang.”
“The film selectors in Berlin have been contacting me since the day our Rongchen Pictures announced the film list.”
“I hope my boss can do it next year. Go to Berlin ”
Li Chen interrupted Yang Siwei and Wang Xueqi to explain in person: "Actually, I would rather go to Venice, but I will definitely not be able to make it in time."
Wang Xueqi has already understood, that's it.
"Mei Lanfang" Lost in Berlin, if he could catch a bear in Berlin, it would be like getting up from where he fell.
Although he still didn’t know what movie it was, Wang Xueqi couldn’t wait.
“So if Mr. Wang is interested, I think there is a character in "The Invisible Guest" that is very suitable for you."
"Although he is not the male lead, he has a lot of roles and a lot of room for performance."
Li Chen feels that Wang Xueqi is definitely qualified for the role of the father of the deceased.
Any smart person can understand what he said.
The three major awards only have the best actor and actress, and there is no best supporting actor award.
Wang Xueqi looked calm: "Director Li, can I read the script first."
"Of course."
Yang Siwei took out a document bag.
Wang Xueqi watched it on the spot. Fan Zhitong pulled Yang Sisi into the bedroom.
“Brother Chen finally found the gold of Teacher Wang!”
Yang Siwei smiled and said: "That's why Mr. Fan is a talented person who knows current affairs. Otherwise, even if the boss is interested in Teacher Wang, he will not come today."
Fan Zhitong's mind was spinning very fast: "You mean, Chen Brother, you have already planned to hire Mr. Wang?”
Yang Siwei looked at Fan Zhiteng as if he was an idiot: “Nonsense! Do you think that “things can only be done in three steps” is a joke made by your boss?
Fan Zhengtong felt happy for a moment, and she almost closed the door to Teacher Wang's possible path to Berlin's Best Actor.
Wang Xueqi finished reading the script, but still didn’t understand it completely.
The whole story had twists and turns, and he was shocked in the end.
"Director Li is famous for his screenwriting. I'm just curious, not distrustful. Don't be offended by Director Li."
"Director Li wanted me to play the role of the father of the dead child. Right?"
Li Chen nodded and said: "That's right."
Wang Xueqi saw that this role of a father is very challenging.
From an ordinary father to an avenger seeking the truth, he had many scenes with the male lead.
Compared to "Mei Lanfang", it only has a lot more scenes.
With the rigor of the Germans and the environment in Berlin over the years, this brain-burning subject matter should be very popular.
"栤椤, come out for a moment." Wang Xueqi stood up and knocked on the bedroom door.
Fan Zhengtong hurriedly walked out: "Have you finished reading, Teacher Wang?"
Wang Xueqi nodded and said: "After watching it, I am willing to star in Director Li's play. I am just waiting for you, the boss, to nod."
Fan Zhiqi immediately smiled and said: "I approve with both hands, Brother Chen, I don't know about this film Is there a role suitable for me in the play? "
In fact, the heroine Fan Zhengyi can also play, but she was given to Zhang Ziyi.
"Next time, I'll look for you in every drama. It's time for the media to hype it up again." Li Chen said with a smile.
Fan Zhengyi glanced at Li Chen coquettishly and said, "Brother Chen, are you still afraid of the media?"
Li Chen laughed and said: "The one who scores points!"
Fan Zhengtong didn't understand, but Yang Siwei did.
I smiled secretly in my heart, the boss didn’t use any curse words when he cursed people.
Even with a low IQ, I can’t react.
The subtext of this statement is that I am not afraid of the media, but when it comes to you Fan Cong, I have another story.
The next day, several people returned to China together. In order to avoid being separated from Li Chen, Wang Xiaoshuai and Li Chen did not take a flight.
The reporter will naturally not let Li Chen go.
He and Wang Xiaoshuai are the focus of this Cannes.
"Boss, a lot of reporters are here." Before Yang Siwei got out of the car, he saw reporters standing guard outside the airport.
Fan Congcheng in another car also saw it.
"Teacher Wang, do you think Brother Chen will rub salt into Director Wang's wounds later?"
Wang Xueqi smiled and said: "Small victory depends on wisdom, big victory depends on virtue. You are overthinking."
Fan Zhengtong smiled charmingly: "I think so, otherwise Brother Chen wouldn't be here today."
Li Chen and others were surrounded by reporters as soon as they got off the car.
"Director Li, what do you think about the failure of "Rizhao"?"
"Director Li, since you and Mr. Li Xuejian, the Chinese have not made any success in Cannes. What do you think is the reason?"
Liu Yifei learned that "Rizhao" had been dropped, and she called Li Chen specifically to give her a warning. : "Don't add insult to injury to others."
Li Chen replied funny: "What will you do if I'm so stupid?"
Liu Yifei hung up the phone for a long time before she realized what she was doing. !
Is he calling me stupid!
Liu Yifei was immediately furious. She picked up the phone and called again but got a busy signal.
“I’m so angry!”
“What’s wrong, Sissy?” Liu Xiaoli asked curiously.
"It's okay, Mom! Li Chen, this stupid pig, is so angry with me!"
Liu Xiaoli shook her head, when will Li Chen be like her daughter who can always "make me so angry" with her? I was completely relieved.
Facing reporters, Li Chen said simply and concisely: "The finalist is already the winner."
