China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 55 Another Routine, Being Tricked by Others
"Mr. Mu praised me absurdly. I'm not a cutting-edge director. I can only be regarded as a rookie director. Thanks to Mr. Mu and Mr. Fan Bingbing, I appreciate it."

"Haha, Director He is being modest, so why don't you watch Bingbing's audition?"

He Fang was silent for a while. After all, Fan Bingbing is also a first-line star. His agent called him on his own initiative. He couldn't even give him a chance to audition, could he?

"Oh, Mr. Mu, I don't pay much for the heroine in this new film, and I have high requirements for the heroine."

"Salary is not an issue. As for what Director He meant when he said that he has high requirements for the heroine? In terms of acting skills, I believe our family Bingbing is not inferior to many actors who claim to be good at acting. Bingbing also won the Golden Horse Award , the Berlin Film Festival was shortlisted, and the small awards will not be mentioned. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the acting skills. If Director He is not at ease, he can let her audition."

On the phone, Mu Xiaoguang spoke with confidence.

"Uh, the requirements I mentioned, acting skills are only one aspect. I mean, I want to go to the film festival for this film, so I need an actor who is familiar with the film festival. Do you understand the meaning?" He Fang said clearly.

"Then it's not a problem anymore. Bingbing has acquaintances in several major film festivals. Our family Bingbing has also often participated in various film festivals over the years..."

He Fang has a headache, well, everyone has talked about this, so he can't just not give him a chance to audition, can he?

"Well, that, Mr. Mu. How about this, you bring Teacher Bingbing to my place tomorrow, I'll try the mirror first and see how it feels, what do you think?"

"Okay, no problem, what time do you think it is tomorrow?"

"It's two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Okay, what's your address then?"

……

He Fang put down the phone and shook his head helplessly.It's just that he originally thought that only Fan Bingbing's manager would call, but who knew...

Li Bingbing's manager, Gao Yuanyuan's manager, Huang Xiaoming's manager, Deng Chao's manager... all called. If He Fang hasn't figured it out by this time, he can hit him and kill him.

It was obvious that Huayi let the wind go out, and most of the managers who called were Huayi's artists.

He Fang had no choice but to pick up the phone and prepare to make a call to Wang Zhonglei, who knew that he would call before calling the other party.

"Hello, Mr. Wang."

"Oh, Director He, I'm calling to apologize to you. I'm really sorry. I accidentally revealed your project at the company's internal party of the listed company. Later, I heard that many artist agents gave You called, and I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you."

Wang Zhonglei started the game with a good attitude.

"..." He Fang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, what could he say?

"Xiao Wang, you really caught me off guard. There are so many actors to audition at once, and I don't have a place to audition." He Fang complained.

"Ah? If it's this matter, then it's a trivial matter. I caused this disaster, so I should bear it, and I will solve the problem of the audition venue."

"Oh, then I'll trouble Mr. Wang." He Fang is not polite, who told you to do it?
"By the way, Director He, are you free tonight? Let's sit down and talk about film cooperation?" Wang Zhonglei said.

"..." With a change in He Fang's mind, he instantly understood what it meant.

This pair of brothers surnamed Wang are really unwilling to suffer.

He himself proposed a 20% premium for film cooperation, so he backhandedly hinted that whoever agreed to cooperate with the actors appointed by Huayi?

He Fang pondered for a while, "Mr. Wang, we can cooperate, but I have the final say on who will be the actor."

"Haha, Director He, of course you have the final say on who the actor will be. Don't worry, Huayi and our partners have always kept their responsibilities. We will never intervene when Huayi shouldn't be involved." Mr. Wang Guaranteed.

"Well, that's fine."

"Okay, then you wait at the hotel. I will pick you up in a car and have a drink together in the evening." Wang Zhonglei immediately settled the matter.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. Wang."

The more He Fang thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he felt that he had been tricked by others?It's obviously a trick I set up, why did it go the other way?
Be careful when drinking at night, and don't get caught again.

Sure enough, at night, Wang Zhonglei called He Fang to the White Mansion for dinner, and then brought a bunch of actresses to accompany him.

It's fine if it's accompanied by food, but the key is to drink.

After filling the wine at the dinner table, it doesn't count, and I have to sing K, and I was drunk by the actresses at KTV again.

He Fang was so dizzy that no one could tell the difference.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Wang Zhonglei waved his hand to get everyone out, and then lit a cigarette for He Fang.

"Director He, you enjoyed your drink today. I think you're a little too much. For the sake of your health, you can drink as much as you want today. Do you think it's feasible?" Wang Zhonglei asked.

He Fang took the cigarette and took a deep breath, feeling a little more sober.

It's not that he didn't guard against it, it's that he couldn't guard against it.

He Fang, a reason for refusing, other actresses have hundreds of reasons to let you drink, if you insist on not drinking, she will change tricks and ask you to take a sip, and she will drink three glasses in a row.

Are you embarrassed by this?Then take a sip, but you can't stop after this sip...

No, the more he drank, the more he couldn't stand the excitement of the actresses. The key was that the actresses were still rubbing He Fang's hands at every turn, stirring up the little flame in his heart.

"Mr. Wang, you... the actresses in your company are really good, I can't stand it."

"Haha, that's it for them. Their acting skills may not be top-notch. If it's not enough to accompany them for a drink, then don't be in the entertainment industry." Wang Zhonglei waved his hand and said grandly.

He Fang had nothing to say, just gave a thumbs up.

"Director He, our company has discussed your investment plan, and we feel uncomfortable with the direct premium, but your words seem to make sense. Otherwise, let's make a bet. If the box office reaches a certain target, or gets the relevant If there are awards, we will honor a certain premium. Do you think this is reasonable? Everyone will not suffer."

He Fang was stunned for a moment, he knew that pouring him alcohol would be no good, it must be to set him up.

This plan sounds reasonable, but there are too many designs in it, and if you are not careful, you will be cheated. Wasn't Stephen Chow and Huayi cooperating back then that he was cheated so much?
"Well... Xiao Wang, speaking of it, I should agree, but you know that I am not the only one who proposed the premium idea. So, either you can form a document of the specific plan, and then I will send it to the company, let us Investors also consider it carefully?"

"Ah, Director He, you are not happy. We have made such a big step, and you still have to take it back for consideration?" Wang Zhonglei was soft but tough.
