China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 694 Live Audition and Premiere
"Teacher Xue, well, I have another movie called Gravity waiting to be filmed, and Xixi is the leading actress. Both of us have bad schedules."

Sun Yi felt a little embarrassed. It was rare for Teacher Xue to speak up, but there was nothing he could do. The two of them really didn't have time, especially Liu Yifei. As the leading female character of "Gravity", it could be said that the story of the entire movie revolved around her alone, and she simply couldn't be absent.

After hearing Sun Yi's refusal, Xue Xiaolu didn't say anything, but Bao Jingjing behind her had her mouth drooping visibly, and looked a little disappointed.

After all this fuss, this guy is still a fan of Xian.

Xue Xiaolu laughed and said sarcastically, "It seems that there is no such opportunity. Jingjing really wants Yifei to play the role she wrote. She kept recommending her to me before she came. I asked for her."

After these words were spoken, Bao Jingjing's face turned even redder.

"This is really unfortunate. I can't make it in time."

Sun Yi nodded helplessly.

In fact, even if the girl had time, he would not recommend her to star in this film.

Right now is the time for Liu Yifei to leverage the aftermath of Pacific Rim to consolidate her popularity overseas and strengthen her international status. She must make more big productions that can be released overseas.

A low-budget movie like "Love Is Not Blind" would really be a big hit in China if it had the added popularity of Liu Yifei. It would not be difficult to make hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office at once. However, it would be detrimental to her future growth. It would be a complete loss of the big picture.

Sun Yi definitely can't do it.

But it was not easy for Teacher Xue to come to my house, so I had to give him my full support.

Sun Yi was silent for a while, and went through the stars in his mind to find the most suitable actresses.

Xun Jie and Chen Shu are definitely not suitable, as their ages are not right and they cannot play young girls. Wan Qian is okay, as she has enough artistic temperament and can play an artistic young woman, but she is a little too "submissive", gentle and graceful, and she doesn't look that sharp and aggressive.

As for Gao Ye, her "aggressive" aura is too strong. If she had played Huang Xiaoxian, she would not have felt sorry for herself because of her boyfriend's cheating, but would have slapped him in the face a long time ago.

In that case, we can only magnify Mimi.

"Teacher Xue, what do you think of Yang Mi?"

"Yang Mi."

When Xue Xiaolu heard about the choice of Sun Yi, the first person that came to his mind was the carefree yellow-haired girl in "Send You a Little Red Flower".

I heard that she is now the top “85” flower in the domestic entertainment industry.

Last year, she created the classic role of Wen Jiajia with "Beijing Meets Seattle".

Looks OK~
Seeing that Teacher Xue was still hesitating, Sun Yi quickly added fuel to the fire.

"Teacher Xue, it just so happens that Yang Mi will also be attending the premiere tonight. She should be at the company right now. I'll call her over for you. Let's go through the back door and have an audition on the spot."

"Well, that's fine."

Sun Yi called Yang Mi directly and asked her to come to his office.

I didn’t expect that this girl came so early today and is actually in the company now.

In fact, Sun Yi had selfish motives in recommending Yang Mi.

As for Mr. Xue, he cannot be like those other directors who come to him to ask for investment.

Since they have taken Starry Sky’s money, they have to do whatever Starry Sky says, and Starry Sky has to choose the main actors and roles first.

Sun Yi was embarrassed to make this request to Teacher Xue.

But the project of "Love Is Not Blind" was such a big deal that he was reluctant to push it to others, so he could only recommend it to his own people as much as possible.

Yang Mi was also preparing a dress to wear for the premiere in the evening. She was a little surprised when she received Sun Yi's call.

This guy hasn't called her alone for a long time.

It’s just that you have a girlfriend, you’re such a coward.

"Teacher Xue~"

"Xiao Yang, long time no see."

When she saw Teacher Xue, Yang Mi greeted him warmly. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, she got down to business.

Upon learning that there was a script to be given to her, Yang Mi deliberately glanced at Sun Yi, with a look that clearly contained some deep meaning.

You still have some conscience and remember our relationship as old classmates.

You know, she hasn't received any movie invitations for half a year since she finished filming "Beijing Meets Seattle" last year.

It’s not that there are no books for her, but that there are too few good ones.

Because of Sun Yi, her vision has now become higher and she is no longer like Yuan Shikong who accepts everyone.

Some time ago, a Hong Kong company contacted Star Sky and offered a movie called "Far Cry", specifically asking Yang Mi to act in the movie, with the salary once exceeding 10 million yuan.

As soon as Yang Mi read the script, she rejected it and even wanted to spit at them.

No matter how you look at it, I am now the number one “85” beauties. If you want me to sell my body, get out of here!

Sun Yi was actually a bit in the wrong. Unlike Sister Xun, who had already achieved great perfection and was gradually beginning to enjoy life, his old classmate had huge ambitions.

But the company still has to promote Liu Yifei, and is somewhat neglectful of Yang Mi in terms of resources, which is somewhat disproportionate compared to the commercial profits she earns for the company.

It’s not that Starry Sky doesn’t have enough resources, but the conversion rate is mainly not good. Last year, the only first-line director was Sun Yi himself, and he was simply too busy to do anything else, wasting so many good scripts.

Things are getting better now. With the gradual maturity of Li Ruijun, Xin Yukun and Guo Fan, Star Sky's production capacity is increasing exponentially.

Xin Yukun is now looking for scripts in Star Sky’s script library and is about to start filming his second movie.

The topic has gone too far.

Sun Yi picked up the script, handed it to Yang Mi, asked her to take a look at it first, and then started the on-site audition.

The movie "Love Is Not Blind" takes the literary and artistic route. In order to make young people feel that it makes sense and to highlight its own status, it is natural that it is inevitable to use pretentious words.

In fact, from a purely plot perspective, there is not much to talk about. The main highlights lie in the characters and the lines.

"I'm ready." Yang Mi finished reading the book in a short while.

She is definitely capable, it all depends on whether she puts her heart into it.

Xue Xiaolu glanced at Sun Yi, and seeing that he had nothing to say, he spoke first.

"Well, let's get started, just this scene."

Yang Mi took a quick look and saw the scene where the heroine Huang Xiaoxian apologized to her ex-boyfriend and then fought back.

"Pay attention, the main thing is the lines, don't hold them back, speak freely, and use your quarrelsome skills."

Sun Yi kindly reminded Yang Mi.

This role does not require high acting skills, the only difficulty is the lines.

There are long sections of dialogue and confessions in the movie, which puts a certain test on the actors' delivery skills. Yang Mi, like the little girl before, is weak in delivery skills.

Her voice is not bad, but it always makes people feel dry and emotionless. Moreover, she doesn't know how to use lines skillfully, like a robot reciting a script.

In fact, Yang Mi's original voice has a bit of a natural queen-like sound. When he was in school, Sun Yi was quite happy to listen to it.

But after hanging out with Rong Xinda for two years, he began to deliberately speak in a low voice, that kind of artificial and delicate sheep-like voice that gave people goose bumps.

Since she joined Starry Sky, Sun Yi has corrected her several times, and it is unknown how she has corrected it now. After listening to Sun Yi's words, Yang Mi thought for a while, then stood up, tossed her big waves, raised her chin, and said with disdain:

"I don't need your apology, and I don't need you saying you owe me something. What I want is this kind of equal relationship."

"In a relationship, we love each other at the beginning, but become enemies at the end. You are unkind and I am unjust. I want you to know that we are always evenly matched."

"You are truly a high quality bitch that is one in a million."

Oh, not bad.

Seeing Yang Mi's performance, Xue Xiaolu's eyes lit up.

She really didn't expect that this girl could perform so well.

In fact, Sun Yi must have his own considerations when he called Yang Mi out alone.

Huang Xiaoxian in the movie is very similar to Yang Mi in all aspects except for her enchanting and delicate appearance.

Especially in terms of personality, he is carefree, has a sharp tongue, and is either arguing with people or on his way to arguing with people.

Yang Mi is a Beijing girl who is good at talking and doesn't care about details.

"Not bad, not bad, Xiao Yang's performance was very good, but in the movie, you probably have to act a little ugly, so how about that? Can you accept that?"

"No problem, Mr. Xue. I'm an actor, so it's my duty."

Tsk tsk tsk~~~
The time has come to three o'clock in the afternoon. Because it is still winter, today's premiere is earlier than usual.

With the afterglow of the setting sun, the all-star lineup of Starry Sky Image made a shining appearance.

Yang Mi is still partnered with Zhang Songwen, while Zhang Ruoyun is with Wan Qian, followed by Zhang Yi, Huang Xiaoming, Luo Jin and director Li Ruijun.

The film "Chinese Partners" co-produced by them has officially been scheduled to be released during the May Day Golden Week.

So I came here today to do some publicity in front of the media.

In addition to the celebrity actors under Star Sky, there are also many people in the industry, such as Liu Dehua, the male lead of "Gravity", and Xue Xiaolu who had arrived in the morning.

The most important among them is Ren Zhonglun from Shanghai Film Group.

After all, this movie was the beginning of the comprehensive cooperation between Star Sky and Shanghai Film Group.

Before the red carpet, Sun Yi told Liu Yifei about what Teacher Xue had mentioned about the script in the morning.

My first choice is Liu Yifei, so I have to tell her in person no matter what.

After hearing this, Liu Yifei didn't react much.

"Just make your decision, no need to ask me."

"Well, then I gave this role to Yang Mi."

"Mi Mi~" Liu Yifei thought for a moment and smiled again: "Don't mention it, it's really suitable."

Sun Yi paid special attention to the girl's expression, and found nothing special, so he felt relieved.

He was afraid that Liu Yifei would think too much.

"Even if you don't say it this time, I still want to tell you that Mimi hasn't had any good projects for a long time. After all, I was the one who hired her, so I have to be responsible anyway."

Sun Yi never expected that the girl's awareness had reached this level and she had completely immersed herself in the role of Director Liu.

Seeing Sun Yi's strange look, Liu Yifei understood instantly and glared at him fiercely.

"What are you doing? Am I that kind of person?"

Speaking of which, when Liu Yifei recruited Yang Mi into Starry Sky, she was indeed somewhat interested in her and wanted to keep her by her side.

But after such a long period of contact, she found that Yang Mi was very well-behaved and devoted herself to her career. She was simply a representative of an excellent employee, and she felt a little ashamed in her heart.

I feel like I am judging others by my own standards.

Little did she know that Yang Mi was too shrewd. Seeing that the two were unusually affectionate and Sun Yi was very scared, she felt that she had no chance at all. She could only suppress her feelings and focus all her attention on her career.

It’s no wonder that Yang Mi got the nickname of “Starry Sky Desperate Woman”.

Sometimes, even Liu Yifei felt a little distressed when watching her.

Otherwise, why would I be thinking of arranging some good projects for Yang Mi?

The red carpet ceremony was relatively brief, as Sun Yi had given his greetings in advance.

In very cold weather, that's enough.

The remaining promotional activities can be done indoors.

The largest screening room at Star International is now packed with people. Because it is Valentine's Day, everyone who comes today is in pairs.

There were also many media reporters at the scene, asking questions one after another.

Of course, everything was basically arranged in advance, and the first person we interviewed was the crew of "Chinese Partners".

For example, what it felt like for Li Ruijun to be a director for the first time, and whether Huang Xiaoming had any difficulty in playing a role that was not a domineering president.

If it were the premiere of any other movie, this would definitely not be done.

But Sun Yi doesn’t care. He has the confidence and doesn’t care about the sharing of traffic.

What he is considering now is the starry sky as a whole.

Next, the reporters found Liu Dehua.

As the biggest star attending the event today, reporters were very curious about him.

"Brother Hua, if I remember correctly, this is your first time attending a premiere under Starry Sky Image. Can you tell me what you think at the moment?"

"Of course I'm very happy. You don't know, I wanted to come for a long time, but Director Sun Yi didn't invite me."

Liu Dehua played a harmless little joke on everyone.

The reporter continued to ask questions.

"Brother Hua, I heard that you have been confirmed to star in director Sun Yi's next film. Is that true?"

"Of course, this is a science fiction film about the space industry. I am currently undergoing astronaut training at the National Space Administration. I am very much looking forward to this film."

This brings another wave of "Gravity".

Then it was the turn of today’s main theme, “Only You”.

The reporters asked many questions about things on and off the stage, as well as some of the performances on the set, and finally brought the topic to "Diaosi Man".

"Yifei, may I ask why you chose to participate in this web drama?"

What the reporter meant was that this type of online drama is totally incompatible with her current status and position.

Liu Yifei directly contributed a famous interview scene.

"Because I think I'm just a loser~"
