Actor: My Entertainment Era

Liu Yifei's next film is a fresh love film, directed by Han Yan, the director of "Introduction to Architecture" and "Go Away Tumor", who is good at low-cost emotional films and is currently training actors.

This news gradually spread in the circle in the last few days at the end of the year.

Some people think that this is the most powerful evidence that Liu Yifei’s resources have decreased after her postpartum comeback.

"The Witch" was made with a makeshift team like New Classics, and now they are making a pure love movie. Pure love movies actually don't have a high status in the circle and are considered to be made for young people.

You are an international film queen, and you want to make a pure love movie?
While saying this, Gong Li was still filming "I Know Women's Heart".

Fans of the beauty are very much looking forward to the young lady filming a romance movie. Who doesn’t like to watch beautiful young ladies dating on the screen?

Fans also defended Liu Yifei:

"Why are romance films inferior? Isn't A Moment of Destiny a classic? Are Under the Hawthorn Tree and Coming Home directed by Zhang Yimou not romance films? You can't make your own films, so you complain that others' resources have been downgraded."

"Some people say that Director Han Yan is a newcomer. Let me tell you a little-known fact. Director Han Yan was almost promoted by Yifei. During the Valentine's Day period in 10, "Introduction to Architecture" grossed 2000 million at the box office with a cost of less than 6300 million. This was the first movie produced by Yifei itself. The director was Han Yan, who was still a newcomer at the time. Later, "Go Away Tumor" became a box office legend. He partnered with a post-80s director who sold two movies in a row. Do you think this is a downgrade of resources? Your sister may not be able to match Director Han Yan's."

Fresh and simple romance films are the comfort zone of many popular artists. After all, all they have to do is put on a handsome face and fall in love with the heroine, and their fans come to watch this.

Moreover, the leading actress is Liu Yifei. Working with her in a romance film, not to mention raising your profile, at least you won't have to worry about exposure.

So, after the news spread, many popular artists came to her hoping to perform. Han Yan also wanted to find a handsome guy with popular traffic to pair with Liu Yifei, and did not reject these popular artists.

"Okay," Han Yan received a call from a woman who said she was Wu Qian's mother, "Then let's find a time to meet and try out two scenes."

The other party was obviously stunned for a few seconds, and asked in confusion: "Audition?"

"Yes, how would I know if you are suitable for the role without an audition?" Han Yan didn't think he did anything wrong.

"We are Wu Qian Studio. Do you want to audition our play?"

Han Yan didn't get it yet and said, "Everyone has to audition, otherwise how can we choose actors?"

The other party cursed me as an idiot and hung up the phone.

Han Yan held the phone for a long time before reacting and cursing, "Who is that?"

I thought he would have learned a lesson after the failures of movies like "So Young 2" and "Jade Dynasty", but I didn't expect it to be like this.

Han Yan said to himself: "I didn't want you in the first place."

The male and female protagonists of "Now on My Way to See You" are a middle-aged couple with a 5-year-old son.

Not to mention whether the 27-year-old Wu Qian is willing to play a middle-aged man, Han Yan doesn't want to use him!
Letting you audition is giving you face, after all, my mother called to ask personally.

Do you really think you have any status in the film industry?
Are you worthy enough to hang out with Liu Yifei?

In fact, don’t listen to what the fans say about pure love films being at the bottom of the contempt chain. This is just what the fans say. Real practitioners rarely discriminate based on subject matter.

Don’t you all look down on online dramas?

In fact, many well-known directors and actors are very interested in online dramas and think that it is a new thing. Many people want to give it a try to see if they can make a name for themselves.

"Now on My Way to Meet You" tells the story of a middle-aged couple. Many male actors in the industry have contacted the crew, whether they are well-known or not, hoping to get a chance to act. It's difficult for middle-aged female actresses, but not for middle-aged male actors?
Every opportunity in the circle is precious, especially with an established director like Han Yan and Liu Yifei, this lineup is well worth auditioning for.

To give two examples, Jin Dong, the veteran cadre who has been very popular in the past two years, contacted the producer of "Now on My Way to See You" hoping to get an audition opportunity.

Jin Dong's main base is in the drama circle. He hasn't acted in a movie for many years. He should be the most popular one in the drama circle in recent years, but he still has to take the initiative to contact the crew and ask the producer for an audition opportunity.

Gao Yuanyuan's husband Zhao Youting has also performed well in the past two years. He played in Xu Ke's "Detective Dee" and Hu Bayi. Although the box office was not satisfactory, these resources are first-class in the circle. Ye Hua in "Eternal Love" made him popular again. When he learned that "Now on My Way to See You" was about the story of a middle-aged couple, he also actively contacted the crew, hoping to get an audition opportunity.

Not to mention other unexpected actors.

There are so few resources, and every one of them is worth the effort of actors of all sizes.

Han Yan was annoyed by these actors who came to his studio, so he informed Liu Yifei and went out to scout locations with the cameraman and art director.

Liu Yifei is not very busy recently and can also take care of casting, which is also her job.

During the week of Christmas, Zhang Yuanjun said that he was going to Zhejiang Province to record a program: "They have invited me several times, so let's go and take a look."

"What show?" Zhang Yuanjun has not been busy with work recently, so why would anyone ask him to record a show?

"That Blue Channel acting variety show you watched before, 'The Birth of the Actors', they have reached the finals and invited me to be a guest commentator."

Liu Yifei and Zhang Yuanjun both like watching this show very much. Although they know it is a variety show and is probably scripted, it is the first acting PK variety show after all. Both of them are very interested in it and hope that this show can bring out some real and good things.

Another reason why Liu Yifei watched this show was that Shu Chang also participated in the show and advanced to the top 6.

"You should speak properly when you get there." Liu Yifei told Zhang Yuanjun that since he had accepted the invitation, he should give a good review, "Save some face for them. Don't say everything."

Liu Yifei knew that Zhang Yuanjun had very high requirements for acting skills, and when talking about acting, his mouth was faster than his brain and he dared to say anything.

“It’s a recorded broadcast. If I say something wrong I can re-record it and edit it later. There’s no need to worry.” Zhang Yuanjun has never experienced Blue Channel’s amazing editing. Nave.

Liu Yifei did not ask Zhang Yuanjun to take care of Shu Chang, because she felt that since it was an acting competition, if Shu Chang was not as good as others and was eliminated, she deserved it. Although this is a variety show, Liu Yifei still hopes that Shu Chang can move forward with her real ability, rather than relying on so-called care. She doesn't care whether others can move forward or not, she will not use this relationship.

After lunch, Zhang Yuanjun left home while his two children were taking a nap.

In the afternoon, Liu Yifei's agent happily told Liu Yifei: "Disney wants to meet us. We will be there tomorrow."

"What do you want to see us for?" Liu Yifei asked.

"Tsk, what else could it be? It must be about Mulan."

"I didn't say I wanted to act, and I didn't even go for an audition." Liu Yifei laughed.

"Maybe someone has taken a fancy to you. Do you want to meet him?"

"Let's meet." Liu Yifei was quite happy that someone came to her house on his own initiative. "But don't hold out any hope. I only have one play next year."

"It's okay, let's meet and chat." The agent is quite open-minded. (End of this chapter)
