Light and shadow player

Chapter 242
In recent years, Hollywood's biggest cake in China is "The King of Kung Fu".

But today this position was given to "Inception".

In terms of investment, the cost of "Inception" was as high as 1.6 million U.S. dollars, more than twice that of Kung Fu King ($7000 million).

In terms of the main creative lineup, the double-J cooperation is barely a tie with Xiao Li; in terms of director, Rob Minkoff is an animation director, and his peak period has passed, and Nolan just made a movie with a global box office of over 10 billion US dollars. Movies are in full swing.

No matter how you look at it, "Inception" is more attractive than "The King of Kung Fu".

Although there is no news that "Inception" will use Asian characters, everyone in the industry knows that Cheng Yu'an likes to use people he is familiar with.

What if "Inception" uses Asians!
No matter, go and brush your face first!Liu Shishi's manager, Yang Mi and Tangtang all think so.

But Cheng Yuan was not in the company, so everyone went to his house.

Ziyu Villa is extremely lively today.

As a high-end community, Ziyu Villa is relatively quiet on weekdays, but today there are cars passing by in the community, and the security guards took a sneak peek. The men and women are all stars seen on TV!

When Shi Tangmi and the others found Cheng Yu's home in Ziyu Villa, several cars had already parked in front of him.

Looking at the license plate, many of the people who came were acquaintances of the three of them.

When the doorbell rang, it was Lei Datou who opened the door: "Why are you three here? Come in, come in."

Lei Jiayin welcomed the three of them in, and the manager assistants of the three laughed together and said, "I won't bother you to play, the company still has something to do, so let's go first."

Then he decisively sold his artist.

The three of them came in and found many acquaintances.

Yang Xue, Yang Rong, and Wan Qian from the same company are all here, even Zhang Ziyi and the two Bingbing are here!

There are fewer male actors, Brother Hu, Lei Jiayin, and a boy with thin lips full of acne, Yang Mi and Liu Shishi can't be named.

But Tangtang knew him, and whispered to the two little sisters, "His name is Guo Jinfei, and he is very powerful in our school."

"How powerful?"

"When he graduated, the Drama Center would rather not recruit students for a year in order to have him."

It's true, when Guo Jinfei graduated, he wanted to be admitted to Shanghai Drama Art Center, but when he was in school, his cultural courses were poor, and he only had a graduation certificate but no degree certificate, which did not meet the admission standards of the Drama Center.

In the end, the leader of the school personally made the decision: "If you can't recruit him, then there is no need to recruit this year's freshmen."

"Hey, what are you doing standing, come and sit down." Cheng Yu'an came over to greet the three of them.

"It's my first time to come to my house, order whatever you want." Cheng Yu'an washed the fruit for everyone, "Eat something simple, I haven't had any customers here for a year or so."

Cheng Yu'an knew what they were here for, and they also knew that they were spying on Cheng Yu'an.

But neither side picked up the topic in advance, and only talked dryly about some interesting things from previous years.

Zhang Ziyi felt that he was a bit out of place here, and the group of young people in Yaoyuan were all his juniors.Double ice?She didn't see these two people at all.

But she had to come here today to compete with them.

Zhang Ziyi hasn't publicly fought for a role like this for many years.

Zhang Ziyi talked about things in school: "I used to like to run to our school, and we wondered, whose family is this kid. Only later did I find out that it was from the Director Department of the Film Academy."

"When I was young, I was persuaded by Huang Ke and Ranqiu." Cheng Yu'an didn't mind saying this.

"Director Cheng, what else do you have?" Fan Xiaopang said with a smile.

She was not from the three major colleges, and people in the circle were somewhat alienated from her.

"Sister Bingbing, you don't know, our Director Cheng was admitted to the Directing Department of the Film Academy at the age of 16, and now our teachers often use Director Cheng as an example for us." Yang Mi praised.

"What are you role models for? I used to mess around in school, and there wasn't a single teacher who didn't go to the director department to complain." Cheng Yu'an laughed.

While everyone was chatting, they could only hear a car approaching outside, followed by the sound of the engine being turned off.

"Who is here again?" Cheng Yu'an wondered.

Liu Yifei stood in front of the door, knocked instead of taking out the key to open the door.

dong dong dong.

"Here we come." Lei Jiayin volunteered to open the door, "Oh, Yifei is here. Come, come, come in."

Cheng Yu'an looked at Liu Yifei, his eyes full of puzzlement: "Why are you back?"

"Let me go through the motions." Liu Yifei also replied with eyes.

Cheng Yu'an had nothing to do with Liu Yifei, and said, "Sissi is here, find a place to sit."

There was no room to sit on the sofa, Liu Yifei first poured himself a glass of water, then pulled out a chair, picked up a cushion and sat down on it.

Just like going back to your own home.

None of the people present were human beings. Liu Yifei's two small movements made everyone aware that something was wrong.

She faced Cheng Yu'an too easily and naturally.

Cheng Yu'an didn't point it out in his eyes, but smiled wryly in his heart: "There are so many eyes."

Cheng Yu'an immediately diverted everyone's minds and said, "We are all friends, and I won't hide it from you. I do have two characters in "Inception", one male and one female, and the roles are not bad."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and it was for this reason that they rushed to the door today.

"The female character is the heroine in name, but you also know that the biggest selling point of this drama is Xiao Li. This female character is Xiao Li's assistant. She can only be 30 or [-] years old."

What she said made Li Bingbing a little frustrated. She is already 36, but she is confident that the drama will not be worse than anyone present, and she wants to fight for it again.

"The male character should be slightly older, about 50 to [-] years old." These words directly made all the male actors present speechless, first of all, they were wiped out in terms of age.

"Originally, I planned to invite two actors in China for these two roles, but now the rumors are everywhere, so I will hold a casting meeting in China with Warner, and everyone can come to audition at that time."

"The audition video will be sent to the United States, and it will be decided by Warner and I."

Then he took out a stack of papers and shared a piece with each of them: "This is part of the heroine Adrian's lines. Everyone, go back and read it, and prepare well. The casting will start before May [-]st, and the casting team members will come tomorrow." Beijing only casts roles during May Day, and Warner Bros. is also casting in the United States, so I can’t guarantee that these two roles will definitely use Asians.”

Cheng Yu'an's face didn't blush even when he raised the banner.

"I can only help you so much. As for whether I can get the role, it depends on the competition between me and Warner."

"You are the biggest investor in "Inception", and you can't even decide on a role?" Tangtang asked him.

Cheng Yu'an shook her head: "No, although I am in charge of this film, Warner Bros. controls the distribution, and Nolan is also theirs. Whoever pays the most has the final say."

Everyone expressed their understanding. After all, behind the investment of 1.6 million US dollars, there must be a game of swords and swords.

Everyone was satisfied to get the script in advance.

After saying a few more words, everyone was about to leave, Cheng Yu'an said politely: "Since you're here, let's go after eating."

"No, it's already very rash to visit suddenly today, I'll invite Director Cheng another day." Zhang Ziyi smiled.

Cheng Yu'an didn't want to stay, and sent everyone out.
