It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 979: Hesitant... A natural villain! Post-00s actresses gathered together!
"The comedy and adventure film "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves", jointly produced by Tingdong Pictures, Horgos Orange Image, Bona, Guomai Culture and other companies, directed by Han Han, and starring Deng Chao, Peng Yuyan, Gao Huayang and others, was officially completed yesterday evening."

"At 10 o'clock this morning, director Han Han revealed on his personal Weibo that Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves will officially enter the post-production stage and aim to be released during the Spring Festival!"

"The first promotional video of Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back was released. Zhou Xingchi and Xu Ke appeared in the same frame and led Yao Chen in a hot dance..."

"The Last Romance released its first promotional video, in which Zhang Ziyi dressed lightly and performed a passionate scene in a car. It is reported that this scene is just the least 'colorful' one."

"Dilraba Dilmurat's studio issued a statement: Starting today, we will officially enter the TikTok platform."

……

The day after the official announcement of the new owner of the White Palace, the entire entertainment industry seemed to be blown up, and various news releases were scattered everywhere like ashes.

Han Han is aiming at the Spring Festival box office, and his ambition is growing!

"The Monkey King 3" even started its promotion three months in advance, which really surprised many people.

And the passionate scene in "The Last Romance" where Zhang Ziyi does that in the car has attracted the attention of a group of old and inexperienced guys!
"Tsk tsk, quite interesting, is this Huayi's move?"

Seeing that the heat about Feng Xiaogang's false statement yesterday dropped instantly, Chen Fei immediately understood why "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" and "The Wasted Time" appeared together.

You know, these two movies are both produced by Huayi.

Now, a large number of promotional releases have suddenly appeared, which is obviously intended to suppress yesterday's hot searches.

I have to say that they chose a very good time point, because the attention of most netizens has indeed been distracted.

However, there is not much time left for "I Am Not Fan Jinlian".

The movie will be released in 3 days.

Tomorrow is its premiere time, but now they have to suppress the popularity. I’m afraid the two brothers of the Wang family are going crazy!
"Director Chen, Huayi has issued a notice saying that they have sent out the invitations for the premiere of I Am Not Fan Jinlian..."

At noon, the assistant kept talking in Chen Fei's ear, with a bit of confusion in his expression and tone.

"And then? If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you hesitating?"

"We received news from the company that Huayi did not send us an invitation to the premiere."

"Ok?"

Chen Fei was stunned at first, and then he was immediately happy.

"Haha, are you so frustrated by me? You don't even dare to send out an invitation to the premiere? Is that how narrow-minded you are?"

"Mr. Chen, what should we do?"

"No need." Fade Chen waved his hand and said, "Since they don't send us invitations, we don't need to send them invitations in the future.

Go tell the company to print fewer invitations for the premieres of La La Land and Operation Red Sea, which will save some paper."

"Yeah, okay, I understand."

After responding, the assistant turned and left.

"Director Ning? What are you looking at? So engrossed?" Chen Fei turned around and saw Ning Hao staring at the screen of his mobile phone without blinking. The rice in his hand fell on the table before he could react.

"Promotional clip for The Wasted Times."

Ning Hao responded without turning his head, still watching with great interest.

"Isn't it just sex in a car? Is it that exciting?" Fade Chen curled his lips and complained with disdain.

"I'm not watching the sex scene in the car. I'm observing whether a body double was used in this scene. I don't know if it's like in Lust, Caution, hehe..."

Director Ning's obscene smile left Chen Fei speechless.

He stood up silently and walked to the side, keeping a distance from Ning Hao.

This person is useless!

You can't even handle your own wife, yet you still want to look at other people's wives. Even if you have the intention, don't you have the energy to do it?
Also, I don’t know what Zhang Ziyi was thinking. She is such a big star, but she actually used real people to appear in such passionate scenes, and even showed close-ups of her face. It’s quite confusing.

This kind of promotional clip can indeed attract some people, but it is not friendly to the actors personally.

……

In the afternoon, the filming of "Dying to Survive" continued.

"Old Han, it's your turn!"

The little mountain eagle was shouting loudly in the set, which attracted a lot of laughter from people.

Meanwhile, Ren Zhonglun, who had already finished his role as the "innkeeper", rested his arm in a leisurely manner and muttered quietly, "Finally it's my turn to laugh at the joke, haha!"

He was originally going to fly back to Shanghai today to prepare for the promotion and marketing plan for "Railroad Tigers".

But when he heard that the fake drug dealer played by Han Sanping would be handcuffed and shackled and "interrogated" today, he immediately postponed his trip and planned to leave after watching this scene.

It is a rare sight to see "Zuoshan Diao" being interrogated by the police. Just thinking about it, he feels that it must be very interesting!

But soon, the smile on Chairman Ren's face gradually disappeared...

Inside the interrogation room, the light was dim and dazzling, shining on Han Sanping (Zhang Changlin)'s slightly tired but still resolute face.

He sat at the interrogation table with his hands crossed on the table, his eyes cold and deep, as if he could see through everything.

The interrogator sat opposite him with a serious expression and sharp eyes, trying to catch flaws from his every subtle movement.

“Who sold the medicine?”

"do not know."

"The sooner you confess, the more likely you will get a reduced sentence!"

"Give me a cigarette."

The short dialogue seems bland at first, as this kind of scene has been played out in other movies and TV series.

However, the moment the cigarette was lit, all subsequent scenes became different!

"Do you understand now?" The interrogator's attitude was unusually tough.

"Yeah." Han Sanping nodded slightly.

"Who?"

"I."

"?"

Just as he picked up the pen to record, the interrogator slowly let go of his hand, his eyes sharp and his attitude extremely dissatisfied: "Are you kidding me? You have been on the run for more than half a year, how did you sell the drugs?"

"It's definitely not me." A smile suddenly appeared on Han Sanping's face.

However, this smile was undoubtedly a huge provocation to the interrogator on the opposite side!

"Zhang Changlin! Let me ask you again, who is it?"

The cigarette in his hand was smoking, and his answer was still just three words: "I don't know."

"You are really shameless, aren't you? Selling fake medicine is harming people! Why are you so arrogant? Ah!"

"Who did I harm?" Han Sanping blinked, revealing a hint of innocence in her eyes: "I have saved at least 500 leukemia patients in the past two years, if not 1,000, right? This can be considered as doing good deeds, right? Don't you agree?"

Laughter suddenly echoed in the interrogation room, with ridicule, sarcasm, disdain, and a hint of relief...

The voice was very low at first, but gradually became louder and louder... If you look closely, you can even see a strong determination and relief in Han Sanping's eyes!

Obviously, he does not regret what he is doing now, because he knows that he is doing the right thing now!
This is to make up for the mistakes he made in the past.

——Atonement!
Behind the monitor, Ren Zhonglun was silent for a while, and his emotions inexplicably became complicated.

If he had been allowed to perform the scene just now, if nothing unexpected happened, his performance would have been a mess and difficult to watch.

Looking at Han Sanping again, not only did she get it right in one take, but she also showed her emotions and situations to the fullest, which was very moving...

"Damn it, I couldn't compete with this Zuoshandiao when he was in office, and I still can't compete with him in acting now, it's fucked up! Fortunately, my current competitor is La Peikang, if this dog-eyed guy was still in office, wouldn't Shanghai Film Group be suppressed by China Film Group forever?"

Chairman Ren was complaining in his heart when, on the other side, he heard Han Sanping’s leaky cotton jacket coming out from behind the camera and yelling, “Old Han! One take! One take! You are awesome! I am proud of you!”

A faint smile suddenly appeared on the Third Master's face.

But the next second, his defense was broken!
Because Han Jianu immediately said, "Next time there is a villain role, I will ask you to play it! You are a natural villain, you are really great!"

"Hahahahaha!"

There was a sudden burst of laughter at the scene, especially Ren Zhonglun, who laughed so hard that he fell backwards and couldn't straighten up for a long time.

...At the same time, while the filming of "Dying to Survive" was going smoothly, the "The Wandering Earth" team far away in Shanxi Province was also conducting auditions in an orderly manner under the leadership of Guo Fan.

After half a month of hard work, the team has now confirmed a series of actors including Wu Jing, Xie Nan, Li Guangjie, Wu Mengda, Lei Jiayin, and Guo Jingfei.

Now, there are only a few core key figures left.

"The main audition today is for the role of 'Han Duoduo', right?"

As soon as he entered the audition room, Guo Fan's eyes fell on the three casting assistant directors Zhao Yilong, Chen Jingxuan, and Fanny Brett.

The last person is mainly responsible for the selection of foreign actors, so she came here today just to make a cameo appearance.

Today's main work tasks are concentrated on Guo Fan, Zhao Yilong and Chen Jingxuan.

"Yes, Director Guo."

Zhao Yilong responded and handed the organized actor files to Guo Fan.

"Li Gengxi, Zhang Zifeng, Ouyang Nana, Zhao Jinmai, Liu Haocun..."

Looking at the list of resumes of post-00 actresses in front of him, Guo Fan subconsciously muttered: "There are already so many post-00 actresses? Are they all child stars?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Not really." Chen Jingxuan added, "Zhang Zifeng, Ouyang Nana, Zhao Jinmai and the others should be considered child stars. Li Gengxi was introduced by the Beijing circle, and Liu Haocun was introduced by the Dance Association through connections..."

"Oh."

Guo Fan didn't think much about it. He didn't care about which circle or association they belonged to. He just wanted an actor who was suitable for the role of "Han Duoduo".

As for operations like currying favors and engaging in private transactions, they don't work for him.

After all, this movie is a work he uses to prove his true strength. From screenwriting to preparation to shooting, everything will be controlled by him alone.

Therefore, he is the "Emperor" of the crew! He has the final say here!
Moreover, Chen Fei had given him special privileges at the very beginning of the preparation of this film. All decisions could be made by him, and no one else could make any difference.

Based on this, he doesn't care about any social etiquette at all.

Even if it was Zhang Ziyi, even if she only had a few seconds of cameo appearance, he would have refused, not to mention the Beijing circle or the Dance Association.

More than ten minutes later, when everything was ready, the audition officially began.

"Is Ouyang Na Na here? Come in."

Following the staff's reminder, the area outside the audition room suddenly became lively with constant discussions.

"Zi Feng, you don't have to be too nervous. Ouyang Na Na has no deterrent power over us. After all, she can't even speak Mandarin well, which is a big taboo in Feiyue Films.

Compared to others, your advantage is very clear, because you have starred in "Detective Chinatown 1", and your popularity and fame are the highest here..."

Listening to his agent's words, Zhang Zifeng nodded slightly, but his eyes kept scanning Zhao Jinmai not far away.

Although the two co-starred in this year's hit drama "Little Farewell", they are the biggest rivals among their peers!

It is no exaggeration to say that the two teams are now in an incompatible state!

Zhang Zifeng was paying attention to Zhao Jinmai, while Zhao Jinmai on the other side was also paying attention to Zhang Zifeng.

"Aunt, our opponent this time is quite strong."

"Haha, you mean Zhang Zifeng, right? Don't worry, she's just a little more famous, but her image is solidified in the temperament of 'melancholy and introverted'. It's hard to get rid of it in a short period of time. This is very different from the character of 'Han Duoduo'..."

"Really? Then my hope is very big?"

"Of course! You are much more lively and cheerful than her. When you go in for the audition later, you must be bold and confident. Don't be timid. You must leave a good impression on Director Guo."

Just as Zhao Jinmai was talking to his agent, the door of the audition room was suddenly pushed open.

In an instant, everyone outside the venue turned their heads to look.

It can be clearly seen that although Ouyang Nana was forcing a smile on her face, her overall condition was not very good.

After seeing this scene, almost everyone analyzed that this Taipei girl who spoke in a coquettish voice was obviously passed by the crew.

"Next, Li Gengxi."

"Coming!"

As an oval-faced girl stood up, everyone turned their attention to her.

Watching her walk into the audition room, outside, Liu Haocun, who was inconspicuous in the crowd, frowned slightly.

For some reason, although it was the first time she met the girl, she always had a kind of "opposites repel each other" and feel disgusted.

"Why? I don't even know her."

"Dou Dou? What are you mumbling about?" A questioning voice suddenly came from my ear. It was my mother, Lv Shujuan.

"Mom, it's nothing." Liu Haocun shook his head and whispered, "It seems like it will be my turn soon. I don't know if I can try it?"

"Don't be nervous. Just listen to the director and perform as he tells you to..."

Lu Shujuan gently encouraged her daughter, and in order to prevent her from being too nervous, she even told her the next plans.

"Even if we fail the audition for The Wandering Earth, we can still go to Shadow. I know one of the assistant casting directors in Director Zhang Yimou's team..."

"Yeah, okay, I got it!"

……

Time passed by minute by minute, and when all the actors' auditions outside were over, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening!
After taking the coffee handed to him by his assistant and drinking it in one gulp, Guo Fan forced himself to stay alert and said, "Come on, pull up all the audition clips of the actors who auditioned for the role of 'Han Duoduo' today, and we will judge them one by one."

"Okay, Director Guo."

Zhao Yilong stood up and opened the projection screen.

Soon, one audition clip after another began to flash on the screen.

"Let's pass on Ouyang Na-na first. We don't want anyone with imperfect Mandarin. We need the original voice for the entire filming, and her voice doesn't fit the bill."

"I don't want Liu Haocun either, she's too soft, like a crying little sister next door..."

"Li Gengxi, let's wait for now."

"Zhang Zifeng is not suitable. She is too obedient. The character I want is lively and cheerful. She is not suitable for this style. She should act in art films instead of chasing commercial films."

"This Zhao Jinmai is quite good. He fits the character image very well and has a good personality. However, his acting skills are a little worse than Zhang Zifeng's..."

More than half an hour later, after comprehensive consideration and a show of hands, the name "Zhao Jinmai" finally appeared in Guo Fan's eyes.

"Okay, let's pick her! Contact her agency tomorrow and have her come over to sign the contract."

Guo Fan is also a very decisive person. Now that it has been decided, he might as well do it right away to avoid any changes.

"Director Guo, she doesn't have an agency yet."

"Hmm?" Guo Fan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who is the one who came here with her today? Isn't he her manager?"

"No, it's her aunt."

Hearing this, Guo Fan's eyes turned slightly, and he immediately had a lot of ideas.

He is the only one in his studio now, and it feels so lonely.

If a cheerful and lively girl could join in, maybe the atmosphere in the company would be more lively!
Thinking of this, he immediately took out his cell phone and called Chen Fei.

……

"Hey? Why did you suddenly think of signing an artist?"

Chen Fei was very surprised when he received the call from Guo Fan.

"That girl's personality is very suitable for me, and after this movie is broadcast, if nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely become a big star... Signing her to our company can be considered as keeping the wealth within the family!"

"Okay, I have no objection. After all, it's your studio, not mine. If you don't mind the trouble, just sign it."

"Then what about the subsequent resource allocation..."

"Don't worry about that. As long as her acting is good enough, I guarantee she won't starve. Feiyue Film and Television has plenty of resources. I can even support your studio, so how can I not be able to support a little actor?"

"Haha, okay, thank you Director Chen."

"You're welcome. Feel free to call me if you have any questions. The film company of The Wandering Earth takes it very seriously. It's up to you from now on."

"Just wait and see, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
