The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 12 Shanghai City, Here I Come
At eleven o'clock in the morning, Yanjing flew to Shanghai on CA1206, and a group of customers wearing sunglasses were sitting in the business class.

In a window seat, a young man and woman were sitting.

The boy has a handsome face, and the girl has an oval face, with elegant temperament and very good-looking.

These two people are Li Shengyao and Yan Danchen, beside them, there are Liu Xiaoqing, Guo Xiaodong, Zhao Shan, Liu Sheng and others.

Today is the day when the crew of "Love Hotel" went south to Shanghai.

Li Shengyao sat by the window, looking at the white clouds outside, feeling emotional in his heart.

In his previous life, he studied in university in Shanghai, and he was deeply impressed by this city.

At this moment, a stewardess walked over slowly. She looked Yan Danchen up and down, and then asked tentatively, "Hello, are you Yan Danchen?"

Yan Danchen was taken aback, she didn't expect someone to know her.

She has acted in two movies, and "Flower Season and Rainy Season" has spread all over the country, but her personal popularity is average, and no outsiders have recognized her before.

Hearing this, Li Shengyao pushed Yan Danchen with his elbow, "What did they ask you?"

Yan Danchen came back to his senses, rolled his eyes at Li Shengyao, and then responded politely.

She chatted with the stewardess for a while, and even signed an autograph for the stewardess. After the stewardess left, she clenched her fists a little excitedly.

Seeing this, Li Shengyao smiled lightly and shook his head.

In her previous life, Yan Danchen could only be regarded as a third-rate starlet. It wasn't that she wasn't beautiful, nor was her acting skills bad, and it wasn't that she had black spots and bad reviews.

It can only be said that the timing is mediocre. I have acted in some CCTV dramas, but they are all popular and not popular.

Of course, this is the normal state of most actors, just like this year's ratings champion "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", the drama is not popular, and the actors in the drama are not very popular.

Like Zhao Yanzi, generally speaking, there may not be one or two actors who are soaring in a play a year.

This thing really depends on fate.

However, Yan Danchen's temperament is actually very good, and her appearance is highly plastic, she can play the role of a young girl or a mature woman.

For example, the heroine of "Love Hotel" is set to be in her early thirties, Yan Danchen has no problem at all.

Not surprisingly, Li Shengyao will still use her in the future filming of "Winter Sonata".

Choi Ji-woo, the Korean version of the heroine of "Winter Sonata", played directly from a teenager to a middle-aged person. In fact, the teenager looks a bit old.

If Yan Danchen were to come, there would be no such problem at all.

"why are you laughing?"

Yan Danchen got along with Li Shengyao a lot, but he was not so polite.

"none of your business."

Li Shengyao said a word, and then said proudly: "If it wasn't for me, you would probably be a third-tier star in your life. You should be grateful to me."

"cut."

Of course Yan Danchen didn't believe it. Seeing that Zhao Yanzi was so popular, as a classmate, who wouldn't want to be popular, who would believe that he couldn't be popular.

Li Shengyao smiled and didn't say much.

At this moment, another stewardess came over. This elder sister's eyes were not so good, she turned to Liu Xiaoqing, "Hello, are you Yan Danchen?"

An awkward atmosphere spread throughout the entire business class, making it difficult to breathe.

Liu Xiaoqing hurriedly pointed to the real master.

After a while, the stewardess took the signature and left happily, but Yan Danchen was still a little depressed.

"How do you think Zhao Yanzi is so lucky?"

"Her fate is good, Grandma Qiong Yao has taken a fancy to her."

This kind of thing really depends on fate. In his previous life, Li Shengyao studied the world-famous film and television superstars, and there is no rule at all. He has never seen that person become a superstar by relying on force.

For example, Da Tiantian, and Arthur, the resource cows have gone to the sky, but they are not tops in their age group, let alone become superstars.

And those superstars usually have excellent audience popularity just after their debut.

Zhao Yanzi, Hua Tsai, Fa Ge, etc., have just acted and their acting skills are not very high, but the audience just likes to watch.

There is no way.

Li Shengyao believes that if Yan Danchen plays "Love Hotel" and "Winter Sonata", he will be popular, but he is not sure whether he will be second-rate or first-rate in the end.

Yan Danchen heard the words, but did not speak, she secretly glanced at Li Shengyao, then turned away.

She thought that Li Shengyao was implying that she wanted to hug her thigh, and Zhao Yanzi hugged Grandma Qiongyao's thigh, which became a hit.

What about her?

Who should she hug?

Those big directors and big producers have already had a lot of female stars to hug their thighs.

It's not her turn. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Li Shengyao's calf can be hugged.

This guy is really hateful, even hinting at her like this.

But as the saying goes, adding icing on the cake is easy, but giving charcoal in the snow is difficult.

At this time, Li Shengyao's reputation is not obvious, and there is not much competition. If he really becomes popular, the competition will be great at that time.

Yan Danchen thought about it, but still felt that sacrificing herself for the sake of fame was not in line with her way of being a human being.

She would not flatter Li Shengyao.

But with a little more care, there is nothing wrong with maintaining friendship.

"I'm a little hungry, do you want to eat?"

"I don't need it, you can eat it."

Li Shengyao didn't like to eat bread sandwiches, this kind of plane food was unpalatable to death.

"Then do you want some water?"

"Get me a glass of orange juice."

After a while, Yan Danchen ate, while Li Shengyao drank orange juice.

Holding the glass, he looked out the window, thinking about something.

Someone from Li Dafu's company had already gone south to Shanghai in advance to arrange accommodation for them, which was said to be a three-star hotel.

As for the residence, Li Shengyao didn't care much, it was almost enough.

However, going south to Shanghai, there are still many things to be done in the next few days.

The first is to go to the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Radio, Film and Television to apply for the filming qualification of "Emotional Hotel".

The second is to find a good hotel for shooting, which must be a five-star hotel.

The third is to rent shooting equipment, and hire extras and studio handymen.

The first point is why it is not handled in Yanjing, because there are many film and television dramas applied for in Yanjing, and they often have to queue up for processing, and it may take ten days and a half months.

Moreover, Yanjing's inspection is stricter, and the local radio, film and television bureau is much more lenient.

The second point needs to wait for Zhao Shan or Li Sanfa to discuss with the two Gods of Wealth.

The third point is the work of the assistant director.

Regarding these three points, Li Shengyao didn't need to deal with them personally. He hoped that these three points could be completed as soon as possible, so that he could shoot faster after he got the male lead number two.

As for the second male lead, Li Shengyao was not worried about whether he would act or not, he was more worried about whether he would fit the temperament of an idol drama.

The highlight of "Love Hotel" is the male lead. To put it bluntly, everyone is looking at the male lead, and the male lead is a tool.

As for Bae Yong Joon, there are really few male actors now.

Bae Yong Joon is firstly handsome and tall, secondly he has a gentle and elegant temperament, his skin is also fair, and secondly he has an urban sense, very suitable for acting in modern idol dramas.

The most important point is that his aura is strong enough to play the boss.

There are many handsome guys in the Mainland, such as Brother Xiaoming, Changhua, and Liu Ye.

But they are not suitable for Bae Yong Joon's role, Xiao Ming brother is simple and simple, he doesn't look like a rich man.

Changhua's skin is dark at this time, she can play Jin Yanxi, but she is not convincing as an urban elite.

Liu Ye's appearance and figure are enough, he is not stupid at this time, he mainly has a melancholy temperament in his eyes, he is not suitable for playing a confident boss.

Lee Sing Yew felt that among the Chinese actors, Luo Jialiang was the most suitable, but he was TVB's top brother, so he couldn't afford it.

The person he chose actually has shortcomings, but there is no other way, he can only choose this person at the moment.

At this moment, the plane announced that they were going to Shanghai soon.

Through the glass windows, one can see the layers of tall buildings and the criss-crossing roads below.

This is a thriving city.

Li Shengyao shook his head, brushing away the worries in his heart, and then smiled at Yan Danchen: "We've arrived in Shanghai, are you ready?"

what to prepare?
Is it for nothing?

Yan Danchen was puzzled and couldn't help blushing and glaring at Li Shengyao.

He didn't see the woman's gaze, and drank the orange juice in one gulp. It was sweet to the bottom of his heart, and his body felt extremely comfortable.

"Shanghai, I'm here."
