director of the millennium

Chapter 48 The International Chapter is here too
In the mountains of Southwest Sichuan Province, the crew of "Balzac and the Little Seamstress" are taking a break.

Zhou Xun, who was leaning on the haystack, read the news with his mobile phone for a while, then suddenly raised his head, "Hey, Kuner, Director Wu is back, do you know?"

Zhou Xun shook the phone in her hand, and a text message inviting her to audition for "The Embalmer" caught the eyes of Chen Kun and Liu Ye, who were in the same group.

"His new play "The Embalmer" is recruiting actors for auditions!"

Chen Kun leaned over to read the text message, and before he finished reading it, he also received the same message on his mobile phone, and then Liu Ye's mobile phone rang.

However, the text messages Chen Kun and Zhou Xun received were sent by Wu Yuan himself, while the text messages received by Liu Ye were sent by China Film Group.

Seeing this news, Chen Kun called Wu Yuan backhandedly.

"Hey, the great Hollywood director has returned to China?"

"Why didn't you tell your brothers when you came back?"

"You don't like the brothers anymore, do you?"

As soon as the call was connected, Chen Kun made a series of jokes.

Wu Yuan on the other end of the phone didn't panic at all, and replied with the same eccentricity: "Didn't I hear that you went to Sichuan Province to film a movie as soon as you came back?"

"It's a big actor, it's different, the films are all co-produced by China and France."

"How about it, is the film made by the great Chinese-French writer and director better than "Comet"?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Chen Kun cursed with a smile, and brought the topic back, "Why did you go back to China to make a movie?"

"You're doing pretty well in Hollywood, right? Your first movie sold hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office."

Although Chen Kun's tone was still frivolous, Wu Yuan could still hear concern from it.

In the eyes of most mainland film and television industry practitioners, how could someone like Wu Yuan, who has become famous in Hollywood, return to the mainland to film for no reason?

The first thought must be whether Wu Yuan offended someone in Hollywood, or did something bad and was driven back.

But there was no such news in the world, so Chen Kun was naturally surprised and worried about his brother.

"Why, I can't come back to make movies yet?" Wu Yuan smiled, and explained in a casual tone: ""The Undertaker" is a literary film, and it's going for awards. I think it's more appropriate to shoot it in China."

Chen Kunsheng has an exquisite heart, and he can talk through a lot of words.

He immediately asked relaxedly: "That's it, when will the movie start shooting?"

"All the actors will join the group in September. First, we will experience life together for two months, and then we will start the production in November. If everything goes well, we should be able to finish filming before the end of the year."

"Then we won't be in a hurry." Chen Kun frowned, feeling a little regretful: "The "Balzac and the Little Tailor" by Xun'er and I will take more than ten days to finish."

"After wrapping up, I have a movie to join, and Xun even has two movies and a TV series waiting for her."

"We don't have a date."

Since he acted in "The Night the Comet Came", Chen Kun's life has been changed. Apart from "Balzac and the Little Tailor", there are many other movies that have sought him out and hoped that he could star in them.

He also picked up one or two movies as appropriate, and the schedule is scheduled for March and April next year, and he also has a TV series produced by CCTV to shoot next May.

Much busier than in the original time and space.

Not to mention Zhou Xun, she was originally one of the hottest movie actresses in the past two years, and her schedule was very tight.

"Hey, why don't you let Yezi give it a try." Chen Kun suggested on his own initiative.

"Okay, let him come to the capital in two days for an audition." Wu Yuan said he was okay.

But just as he was about to hang up the phone, Wu Yuan suddenly remembered something, and he smiled: "By the way, have you finished filming Liu Ye's "Blue Rain"?"

"The filming has already been finished." Chen Kun said with a smile, "I heard from him that it will be released in November, but it is on Hong Kong Island, and there is no way to release it in the mainland."

After finishing speaking, both ends of the phone laughed at the same time, and the laughter made Liu Ye, who was listening to the conversation beside him, feel goosebumps all over his body.

Not just Zhou Xun and Chen Kun.

Most of the actors who are well-known in the mainland and whose acting skills are quite recognized have received audition invitations from China Film Group.

Director Wu Yuan, who just directed "Juno" in Hollywood, a movie with a box office of over [-] million, is recruiting actors for his new movie "The Embalmer".

This news, like a bomb thrown into a calm river, immediately exploded the entire mainland actor circle.

Regardless of why Wu Yuan wanted to return to China to make movies, at the moment when he had just achieved success in Hollywood, he was one of the directors most hoped to work with in the Chinese film circle!

Even the international chapter of "Rush Hour 2" promotion in the United States is quite interested, and I took the initiative to call China Film to learn more about it.

Following Cheng Long's international chapter in Hollywood, he knows better than any mainland actor how powerful a director with a single box office in North America is over [-] million!
Although this year is her most expansive year, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Rush Hour 2" both sold well in North America, making her look down on other mainland directors except Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.

But she will definitely not look down on Wu Yuan's new movie!

"Juno" and "Rush Hour 2" can be regarded as being released at the same time!
After she inquired carefully and confirmed that the heroine of "The Undertaker" was still to be determined, International Zhang immediately flew back to China from the United States.

The reason why she attaches so much importance to Wu Yuan's movie is not because she thinks it will bring her much fame or honor.

International Zhang has a very clear plan for her acting career. Her goal is to enter Hollywood and become the first Chinese actress in Hollywood!
Especially now that "Rush Hour 2" is a hit, she feels that she has stepped into Hollywood with one foot.

As for how to step in with the other foot?
She was quite confused before, but now she has a clear goal.

Catch up with Wu Yuan, a director who has risen to fame in Hollywood!
From the perspective of the international chapter, Wu Yuan will return to Hollywood to continue making movies sooner or later!
Now if we can establish a good relationship with Wu Yuan through the movie "The Undertaker", then in the future, Wu Yuan's casting in Hollywood movies will always be inclined to his own people, right?
If Cheng Long and Wu Yuan, two actors and directors who have made their way in Hollywood, can support her together, then her career in Hollywood will be safe and secure!
With this in mind, International Zhang resolutely asked for a three-day leave with the crew, and flew back to the capital overnight that night.

But when she arrived, she was already the last batch to arrive at the audition scene.

When the international chapter opened the audition actor lounge on the second floor of China Film Group, dozens of actors were already sitting in it, quietly waiting for the audition to start.

Zhang Fengyi and Hu Jun who are at the pinnacle of their careers, newcomers Ren Quan, Lu Yi, and Li Yapeng who are currently on fire, actor Xia Yu, You Yong...

The male actors are okay.

Because the male lead had already been decided, most of the people who came were artists under Wang Jinhua's banner.

The number one agent in the mainland is very shrewd. Even if the leading actor in "The Undertaker" is gone, he still actively arranges for his male artists to audition for other roles.

As for the actresses, that's when a hundred flowers are really blooming.

Zheng Shuang, Chen Hong, Wang Yan, Jiang Qinqin, Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Actress Gong Xue, He Qing who has acted in the four famous novels, Golden Horse Actress Tranquility, etc. Almost all the top actresses who were popular in the mainland in the 90s are here. !
Huang Yi, who just became popular with "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair", and Tao Hong, the little dragon girl who became popular in "Bright Spring Pig Bajie", could only sit in the corner.

New actresses like Chen Hao and Sun Li didn't even dare to sit down, and stood nervously at the base of the wall.

Except for Zhou Xun, everyone else in Sidan Shuangbing was also present.

For the time being, there are only two Bingbing, who each have two masterpieces, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" and "Youth Bao Qingtian", they are also a little nervous, and even because of the similar names, they subconsciously get together and whisper together, there is no such thing as "the ice does not see the ice" later. appearance.

The international chapter who finally walked into the rest room looked around, focusing on the actress, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Very good, in terms of international popularity, no one is higher than her.

Emperor Gong did not come!
Who else is this heroine than me? !
　When the filming of "The Undertaker" is finished, the heroine will be on stage.
