Actor: My Entertainment Era

Anti-fans believe that the current blockbuster of "Pacific Rim" in North America will be a fatal blow to Liu Yifei's career. They are waiting for the movie to be released in China at the end of the month and watch the jokes together.

In fact, they are right. China has indeed not cultivated fans for mecha monster movies. This can also be seen from the tilt of the limited publicity and distribution resources of "Pacific Rim". Whether Warner, Legendary or director Toro himself, they all regard Japan as the most important market for the film outside North America - Japan is I really like this movie.

As for Liu Yifei's career being hit, they are overthinking it.

Sometimes, don’t look at what a person says, but what he does.

"Pacific Rim" received a cold reception in the North American market, but Liu Yifei is still the target of invitations from domestic producers.

The number of film contracts handed to her has continued to increase, and is still much more than other actresses.

There were even two crew members who had clearly rejected Liu Yifei's request and wanted to take advantage of the unsatisfactory performance of "Pacific Rim" to invite Liu Yifei.

One is the crew of "The Beautiful Beauty", which Liu Yifei rejected at the beginning of last year. At the beginning of preparations for this film, Liu Yifei was regarded as the most important invitation for the heroine Xinglu, but Liu Yifei disdains this kind of Cinderella and Prince Charming nonsense. The love story, in particular, gave Xing Lu the character of a "descendant of a declining aristocracy". There are no aristocrats in China.

The book was handed over to her and she rejected it after reading the novel.

After "Pacific Rim" hit the market in North America, the crew of "Beautiful Beauty" felt that they were good again and vowed to negotiate a schedule for Liu Yifei.

Director Gao Xixi is a great director in the television industry. Even though he almost never makes movies, as a "newcomer to the movie", there are still a large number of actors who want to be in "The Beauty" - there are too few movies with big female protagonists.

Tang Ren gave Liu Shi a cake and said he would talk to her about the role of Xing Lu, but Cai Yinong and Li Guoli still couldn't match Gao Xixi.

Even if Cai Yinong had some spare money, she would not be willing to spend it on Gao Xixi for "Dew Beauty".

Liu Shishi is popular, but "Fuji Detective" has not been released yet, and her performance as the second female lead in it did not catch Gao Xixi's eyes.

To put it bluntly, everyone is very popular, why didn’t Gao Xixi use the most popular Liu Yifei?

It doesn't matter if Liu Yifei refuses once. All actors are defeated. If you go and talk a few more times, things will always turn around.

Another crew member is "The Last War", a Sino-US co-production starring Nicolas Cage that Ouyang Baoping had previously presented to Liu Yifei.

The crew of "The Last War" also held the same view as "The Beauty". Liu Yifei had just committed to a movie and was fishing in troubled waters.

But the two groups visited the crew of "The Master of Hypnosis" several times, but Liu Yifei refused to let go. The reason was that Wan Yifei had no schedule. She was filming "Miss Bai" at the end of the year, and all the schedules for next year were booked.

Ouyang Baoping even said he didn't mind her taking part in the drama, but Liu Yifei still refused.

The crew of "Beautiful Beauty" said that they are talking about Asian superstar Rain to play the leading role: "The talks are almost complete. This will be Rain's first film after completing his military service. It will be very beneficial for us in terms of publicity."

But Rain's joining still failed to impress Liu Yifei.

Because it’s time to say it or not. At this time, Rain is past his prime.

His main battlefield is in the music industry, but in Korean entertainment, which is full of life and death, Rain only has empty celebrity positions but no popularity. When it comes to Rain, everyone knows that he is great and he is a senior, but his time has really passed, otherwise Nor will I come to China to make money.

In the film industry, Rain is not even as big as the young lady herself.

Putting aside these things, if I really take the role of "Beautiful Beauty", when the time comes on the set, one will speak Chinese and the other will speak Korean. It will be very inconvenient. Liu Yifei has no shortage of filming now, so why bother to suffer like this.

Liu Yifei is very good at rejecting others, so she still didn't answer.

"Will you blame me?" That day, after the show, Liu Yifei asked her husband while packing his clothes and letting him take a shower.

"Why should I blame you?" Zhang Yuanjun said. "Gao Xixi used the guise of being a fellow from Gan Province to get close to you, but I still didn't take his role."

Zhang Yuanjun laughed: "If you have to rely on this kind of friendship between the fellows to accept the movie, then it just means that this movie is not worth accepting." What impresses the actor must be the movie itself, not other things.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled again and said: "Besides, he is from Hongdu. We don't have much contact with each other, so he can only be regarded as half a fellow villager."

There are many people from Gan Province in the entertainment industry. Deng Chao, Liu Tao, Chen Hong, Yu Entai, Luo Jin, Huang Lei and others are all doing well. Needless to say, Luo Jin, there were only five or six people who had close contacts with Zhang Yuanjun, including Deng Chao and Yu Entai.

"We have a group of fellow villagers from Gan Province. Every time they say they want to get together, they never get together," Zhang Yuanjun said.

Liu Yifei discovered very early that Zhang Yuanjun valued family rather than his hometown, and it was easy to establish a relationship with him as relatives and friends, but he mostly didn't bother to develop a so-called relationship with him as a fellow villager.

The same goes for her. Although she is from Jiangcheng, she has left Jiangcheng since she was a child. She really has no hometown complex towards Jiangcheng.

…………

The news that Liu Yifei was not cast in the two dramas "Beautiful Beauty" and "The Last War" spread like wildfire in the industry.

When other actresses catch wind of this, it cannot be said that they are picking up what others don’t want. Resources are either yours or mine. There is nothing you can’t pick up.

Among actresses of the 85 generation, following Liu Yifei, Yang Mi and Tang Yan are the most popular. Yang Mi fell in love with the Sino-US co-production "The Last War" at first sight.

Now that co-productions are popular, she wants to be a part of it.

Yang Mi's current schedule is very free, and she only has one film left in her hands, "The Breakup Master" that she has just negotiated, which will start filming in October. Apart from the TV series "The Ancient Sword and Legend of Legends" that she is currently filming, she has no more films in her hands.

A workaholic like her doesn't allow herself to be so idle.

Therefore, Yang Mi's team is actively contacting the crew of "The Last War".

The crew of "The Last War" also had to reconsider the choice of the heroine. After losing Liu Yifei, they could no longer mention the requirement of "having a certain international reputation" in the casting conditions, because the other young actresses did not have it.

The filming date for "The Last War" is just in September. If Liu Yifei can't be cast, we have to cast someone else as soon as possible, otherwise we won't be able to make it in time.

There is no doubt about Yang Mi's popularity in China, and "Tiny Times" also did very well at the box office.

If the film has good reputation or not, the management doesn't look at this. They only look at whether the actors can bring in box office.

Therefore, the crew is really considering Yang Mi.

Yang Mi hid the news from the crew that she would be filming "The Breakup Master" in October, and assured the crew that she would receive action training before filming.

Yang Mi is taking action, and other actresses are also watching.

Two dramas, two heroines, and one is the heroine of a co-production, which is very tempting.

Because "The Last War" is about to start filming, it will be pushed faster and there will be more compromises. For example, the heroine is allowed to use Chinese dialogues instead of speaking English; the original one-month equestrian training is shortened to 1 days, etc. .

But "Beautiful Beauty" is different. The film is not in a hurry to start shooting. The film studio still wants an actress who has good conditions in all aspects and can match the Asian superstar Rain, so they just hold off. (End of chapter)
