Entertainment Reborn Rhapsody

Chapter 140 Chapter 140: Heroine
The film and television industry is full of leaks. The news that China Film has established Xiang Shanhe's new script and that Feng Xiaogang is the director has spread in the circle within two days.

One morning, Feng Xiaogang received an endless stream of calls recommending heroines.

Shanhe also received a call from Zhou Xun, asking if there is any possibility of participating in the new play.

"Shanhe, look, just in a short while, more than a dozen candidates for the heroine have come, and basically everyone who has been named in the circle has called. You are very attractive!" Feng Xiaogang hung up the phone and said to Shanhe teased.

"Director Feng, I'm just a screenwriter. The actresses are here for you, right? You're a great director!" Shanhe was a little used to the teasing tone of people in the capital.

"Haha!" Feng Xiaogang laughed a little bit at himself, "Great director? Let me tell you, there are many people who look down on me. A lowly person like me is not welcome!"

Shanhe looked at Feng Xiaogang and smiled, but did not answer, and changed to another topic, "Director Jiang has gone to experience life? He is very efficient!"

"He just has a bad mouth. It's okay to be an actor. Anyway, I haven't seen him fooling around with a role. I can guarantee his acting skills when he is chosen as the leading actor. I'm afraid that he will add scenes randomly! But his director level But it’s not low, and the scene will also be helpful. Seriously, this time we are all working for the Beijing Olympic Bidding Committee. Let’s put aside all the fuss in our hearts. Everything is for the Olympic bid. As long as it is helpful to the film, I will accommodate! "Feng Xiaogang grinned and sighed.

"Director Feng, you are so enlightened!" Shanhe gave Feng Xiaogang a thumbs up, "After receiving so many calls, what are you going to do? Call them all for auditions?"

"Let's take a look at Zhang Ziyi first! If she can't do it, let's talk about it and give priority to overseas distribution!"

"Okay, Director He just called. Zhang Ziyi has flown back from Hong Kong Island. I think I can see you tomorrow!"

Feng Xiaogang nodded, "Shanhe, China Film and the Olympic Bidding Committee will rely on you. Next, I have to get the crew in order, and I have to write the script for the shots. I have to think about it carefully. You should put your heart into investing here. Swipe as much as possible!"

"I'll keep an eye on it. If you have any difficulties, just mention it. This time we have a strong backing!" Shan He responded.

Feng Xiaogang laughed out loud when he heard this, "I've never fought such a rich battle before, I'm a little unaccustomed to it!"

Shanhe smiled after hearing this, "It's not enough to always add millet and rifle. Director Feng, you have to change your clothes. You have to use aircraft and cannons!"

Ha ha…

When Zhang Ziyi received a call from China Film Group Corporation, she was in Hong Kong. Tsui Hark was preparing to restart the "Shu Mountain" project, and she came over to audition.

This trip to Hong Kong Island woke her up. Don't look at her emerging in Hollywood in the past two years. In China, she is just an outstanding newcomer. The heroine of "Shushan" has nothing to do with her before she auditioned. , It is estimated that he can only play a supporting role to set off others.

Zhang Ziyi felt very aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do. The current situation in China is that Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are one level higher, female stars are better, and the situation of mainland male actors is even worse.

She and her brother were very excited when they received a call from China Film.

Shanhe's new script, with Feng Xiaogang as the director and China Film and Beijing Olympics Bidding Committee as the main control parties, sounds like it is no small project.

Shanhe's reputation in Hollywood is not comparable to hers. Not to mention that "Parasite" is still blowing up the streets in Country M. Several of Shanhe's other novels have caused quite a stir in Hollywood. I heard that the six major universities are vying for him. Shanhe The rights to adapt the novel are very popular!

The script that Shanhe wrote for the Beijing Olympic Bidding Committee must be the same!

It would be even better if we could get to know Shanhe through this opportunity!

"Brother, you have to be careful what you say this time. China is not Hollywood on Hong Kong Island, and you won't be able to make money if you make money by then!" Zhang Ziyi told her manager brother.

Zhang Zinan nodded perfunctorily, "China is our hometown, and I must know the importance. You have to work harder this time. Hollywood has to grab Shanhe's new work!"

Zhang Ziyi looked at his brother, why did he feel so unreliable!

"I know that since China Film Group notified me to come back, the chances should be great. My advantage is obvious!"

Zhang Ziyi called Feng Xiaogang as soon as he got off the plane, and made an appointment to meet the next day.

At this time, Shanhe was discussing with China Film and Han Shanping about establishing an investment project.

"Shan He, I will be the producer of "Run! Dad" this time, and China Film has already started work. This is Yu Dong from the production department. He joined the crew as a representative of China Film and is responsible for coordination and operation!" Han Shanping pointed out. The square-faced young man beside him introduced Shanhe.

"Hello Shanhe, I have long admired your name. Please take good care of me in the future!" Yu Dong extended his right hand to greet Shanhe.

Shanhe stretched out his hand and responded: "Hello, Yu Dong, it's me who should take more care of you. You will be Party A from now on, and we all have to point to you for food!"

Ha ha…

All three laughed.

"Mr. Han, how much money does China Film have to invest this time? We need to know a little bit about it?" Shanhe asked.

Han Shanping replied with a smile: "Shanhe, you are a student at first glance. You don't have to worry about investment in this kind of project. You ask Xiaogang to hand over the shooting budget to Yu Dong. I will also ask in the middle. You don't have to worry about funds. I It’s because I think this movie will not only pay back its budget, but maybe there will be surprises!”

"Okay! In the words of director Xiaogang, I have never fought such a rich battle, so I am a bit unaccustomed to it!" Shanhe replied teasingly.

Shanhe's words made the three of them laugh again.

"I heard that you and Xiaogang chose Jiang Wen as the leading actor? He is a thorn in the side, but his international influence is not bad. Zhang Ziyi also fits the character image, and the actor is quite suitable. Yu Dong, this movie Time is tight. Once the actors are confirmed, you have to start promoting and build momentum first!" Han Shanping explained to Shan He and Shan He with a smile.

Yu Dong nodded and responded: "Mr. Han, I have already made a preliminary publicity plan. This time, Shanhe is the screenwriter, Feng Xiaogang is the director, plus Jiang Wen and Zhang Ziyi. We have never fought such a rich battle before." It’s easy to talk about domestically, but we don’t have resources overseas, does the Olympic bid committee have any plans?”

After hearing this, Han Shanping turned his attention to Shanhe, "Shanhe, do you have channels in country M? It may not be easy for the Olympic bid committee to intervene!"

Shan He nodded, "I will contact Disney, I am familiar with Bruckheimer, see if I can help!"

Han Shanping stood up when he heard the words, "Okay! Let's do this first. I can't get away from my side recently. If you have any difficulties, please contact me and make the film first!"

As soon as Shanhe and Yu Dong came out of Han Shanping's office, Feng Xiaogang's call came.

"Hey, Shanhe, Zhang Ziyi just called me. You have to come to my studio tomorrow morning. I'll call Lao Jiang and we'll weigh her together. If her acting is inappropriate, we'll replace her. !"

"Okay, by the way, the representative of China Film Group Corporation is by my side. He will also be there tomorrow!"

"Who?"

"In the East!"

"I know, it's a character. This time China Film has sent elite soldiers and strong generals!"

"That's it for now. I'm still at China Film Academy. We'll discuss the details tomorrow!"

"okay!"

Shan He put down his mobile phone and said to Yu Dong beside him: "Director Feng's phone number, audition for the heroine tomorrow morning, would you like to go over there too and have a look?"

Yu Dong nodded and responded, "No problem, I'll be there on time tomorrow, Director Feng's studio, right?"

"Yes, okay, then we'll see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

Shanhe walked out of the gate of China Film Group, he rubbed the lines between his brows, there are so many trivial things about the birth of a movie!
This is still a special situation. After all, with the backing of the Beijing Olympic Bidding Committee, some messy troubles are blocked first.

This experience has greatly helped Shanhe, at least he has stepped into the film industry.

The next day, Shanhe arrived at Feng Xiaogang's studio early in the morning.

Yu Dong and Feng Xiaogang had already arrived. After the three exchanged greetings, they began to talk about the actresses for this audition.

"I got news that Zhang Ziyi was in trouble on Hong Kong Island. The heroine of "Shu Mountain" has been confirmed as Zhang Bozhi, so she got a female supporting role!" Yu Dong gossiped to Shan He and Shan He with a smile.

Feng Xiaogang made a cup of tea for the two of them, "Haha, those people in Hong Kong look down on us mainland filmmakers. There is nothing we can do about it. The box office performance is not good, and we can't stand up!"

Speaking of this, both Yu Dong and Feng Xiaogang's air pressure was a little low. Seeing this, Shanhe asked, "Director Jiang hasn't arrived yet. Where has he been in the past two days?"

"The Olympic Bidding Committee sent him to the track and field team. I heard that you stayed there for more than ten days?" Feng Xiaogang replied.

Shan He nodded and sighed: "Middle and long-distance runners really have to endure hardship. The amount of exercise was too much. I was thrown up on the first day of training. It was just basic training. Wang Junxia said that their training volume at that time was twice that of today's athletes. It’s unimaginable!”

"I have also collected a lot of information on this in the past two days. There are no athletes who are not hard-working. Basically, everyone has scars on their bodies. What I see is also admirable. Competitive sports not only test people's talent and faith And willpower is indispensable, I look back at your script, I am filled with emotions, I also have new ideas for the concept of the movie!" Feng Xiaogang responded with emotion.

"Director Jiang will come over later and he will probably have some ideas!" Shanhe nodded in agreement.

While talking, Jiang Wen entered the door.

"I was just talking about you! This is Yu Dong from China Film Group, the producer responsible for coordination and publicity!" Feng Xiaogang introduced to Jiang Wen.

Both of them knew each other, and after a brief greeting, Jiang Wen began to talk about his experience on the track and field team.

"This time I really gained knowledge. Athletes are really not for ordinary people. The basic training almost broke me. Watching those athletes train, I am a little scared. What does it mean to push yourself to the limit and then break through? , and go to the next limit! Can you practice without injury!"

Jiang Wen took a sip of water, and then said: "I have really been educated this time, Li Changchun has to act well, competitive sports can really represent the human spirit, faith is really not an official word for them, you can't hold on without it ! My body shape is still not that good, I will try to lose weight in the next ten days!"

Shanhe felt Jiang Wen's input. It seems that the choice of the male lead was successful. In this movie, Li Changchun and Li Xiaoxia are the actors. As long as the two can perform successfully, the movie will become more than half. Next, we will look at the female lead. .

At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Ziyi arrived at Feng Xiaogang's studio with her agent brother.

Feng Xiaogang introduced Zhang Ziyi and everyone. Zhang Ziyi kept a low posture and greeted several people one by one.

On the contrary, his manager brother was very active, trying his best to hand out business cards to several people to make connections.

"Enough chatter, this is part of the script. Ziyi, take a look at it. I'll give you half an hour to perform it!" Feng Xiaogang handed a few pages of the script to Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi took the script and said with a smile: "Then I'll start, please wait a moment!"

Half an hour later, Zhang Ziyi stood up, took off her high heels and socks, took off her down jacket, and started her performance.

The script given to her was a scene in which Li Xiaoxia entered the national competition for the first time, her sister was injured, her performance was poor, and she was helpless on the track.

It is quite difficult and will test Zhang Ziyi's on-the-spot reaction and acting skills.

Zhang Ziyi's acting was better than what Shanhe imagined. She only saw part of the script, so she had to figure out the character settings by herself. The only difference is her body shape and the unique temperament of an athlete. Her expressions and demeanor are very good. Tenacity to go out.

A few minutes later, Zhang Ziyi's performance ended, and several people looked at each other, not expressing their opinions in a hurry.

"Ziyi, please put on your clothes and shoes first. Don't catch a cold. Sit down and drink a glass of water. Let's discuss it for a while!" Feng Xiaogang said to Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi nodded, and took the down jacket from his brother, "Director, do we need to avoid it?"

"No need, you take a break first!"

The four people from Shanhe walked into the inner room, and Feng Xiaogang spoke first, "What do you think? I think it's okay. If nothing else, Zhang Ziyi's acting skills are still very solid, and his body shape and temperament can be improved!"

"It's not bad! You can achieve such a passing performance with just a few pages of script!" Jiang Wen also commented.

Several people looked at Shanhe.

Shan He nodded, and said, "I'm still an amateur, and I can't tell you professional things, but she has the heroine's aggressiveness that I imagined."

"Then it's settled. If she plays the role, we will have many hot topics!" Yu Dong continued.

Several people looked at each other and nodded.

After getting the answer, several people went to the living room, and Feng Xiaogang informed Zhang Ziyi of the audition results.

"Ziyi, this role is yours, but there are requirements!"

Zhang Ziyi and her brother were very excited after hearing this, "Director Feng, thank you for your approval, I can accept the crew's request!"

"Don't worry, let me finish the matter. First, you have to join the track and field team to experience life. You have to develop the temperament and body shape of a middle-distance runner. It will be more difficult. Second, this project is controlled by the Olympic Bidding Committee. It will be lower!" Feng Xiaogang raised the request face to face.

"There's no problem with me. I can accept zero pay. As for training, I was scorned by Wi-Fi all over in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". I can endure the hardship!" Zhang Ziyi's answer was simple.

Shanhe looked at her with admiration. As expected, all the four beauties were not simple!Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi both have the characteristics of successful people!

As for the dog in the background, let's leave him alone for now, how many people in this circle dare to say that they are spotless!
