During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 200: Audition gossip, while filming is in progress

In early September, Nolan and his entourage came to the capital, and China Film was responsible for the reception and announced that it was officially accepting audition resumes.

For a time, the news spread quickly on the Internet, and netizens began to guess who would be the lucky one.

"Boss, are you really not coming over?"

This time, Hunter came here on behalf of Summit Entertainment. He originally planned to find an opportunity to show his loyalty to the boss, but unexpectedly, he didn't even see anyone.

"No, just remember what I told you and don't make it too obvious."

"Don't worry, boss, nothing will go wrong, I promise."

Although Hunter was very curious about the girl favored by his boss, he still understood that the more she got, the faster she would die. After all, it was like this in the movies.

The entire entertainment industry is paying attention to this matter. If Han Sanping hadn't issued an order prohibiting interviews, China Film would have been overcrowded at this time. However, even so, there were a large number of reporters waiting at the door of China Film.

There are also some people who are more alert and start to look for Wei Jin. After all, he is both an investor and a screenwriter.

It's a pity that Wei Jin hid even deeper. After the studio at the Digital Base was rented out, it was completely closed management. As long as the crew refused to visit the studio, they couldn't get in at all.

This is to hide in a small building and become one, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter!

However, many people in the industry knew that he was filming a new film, and acquaintances called him to ask if Wei Jin would take the lead in casting.

Wei Jin's reply was also very simple. Other investors were responsible and he was not involved.

Mr. Zhou’s call was unexpected by Wei Jin. Isn’t “Painted Skin 2” still being filmed? But he still replied:

"You are not suitable. You are a bit older."

Wei Jin originally thought she would get angry, but the other end of the phone actually laughed.

"Haha, now I think all those people will have to travel in vain."

As long as those few opponents don't get the role, Mr. Zhou can accept it.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jin marveled, the battle between the big flowers was so exciting.——

A few days later, China Film announced that auditions had begun.

The actresses who passed the first round of resume screening rushed to China Film Studio one after another. A large number of media reporters were squatting outside China Film Studio. Even if they couldn't go in, it was good to capture first-hand information.

Since there is no script, no one knows what the character looks like, so they can only dress themselves up in a sophisticated direction.

So the media captured such a picture, a long queue, each actress dressed carefully, some are cute, some are mature and gorgeous, some have elegant temperament, some are classical and graceful, and so on.

But everyone was waiting in line in an orderly manner. In front of such a big production, no matter what position you are in, you have to be honest.

China Film Group opened the reception banquet hall to give the actresses waiting in line a place to rest.

When Liu Yifei and her daughter came here, there were already many people. Looking around, they were all female artists with beautiful faces and excellent figures.

The most eye-catching ones are undoubtedly the big flowers, Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, and Fan Bingbing.

Yang Mi came here on leave from the crew of "Sword and Fairy", and Jiang Yiyan and Tang Yan just finished filming from the crew of "Nanjing".

There are also Yu Nan, Huang Shengyi, Han Ha, Dong Xuan, Yan Danchen, Zhang Jingchu

All of them are well-known actresses in the industry, and these have already been selected by China Film Academy, which shows how fierce the competition is.

Seeing Liu Yifei's appearance, many people at the scene felt that there was another strong competitor.

After all, she has already participated in "The King of Kung Fu". Although the reputation is not good in China, it is said that the evaluation in North America is not low.

They were also lucky that Jing Tian was already filming the Wei and Jin scenes, otherwise there would have been one more competitor.

"Now You See Me" has been released, with a domestic box office of 4.08 million US dollars, creating a new history. What's even more terrifying is that the global box office is as high as 5.1 million US dollars.

To put it bluntly, Jing Tian has a greater chance than everyone here.

Many actors who have worked with Liu Yifei started to say hello, including Li Bingbing, Jiang Yiyan, Yang Mi and so on.

Liu Yifei also responded politely, but to her surprise, Zhang Jingchu, whom she had no friendship with, also came to say hello.

Liu Xiaoli quickly pulled Liu Yifei away, as if she was hiding from the god of plague.

"Xixi, let's find a place to sit first."

"Mom, why are you avoiding her?"

Arriving at a remote corner, Liu Yifei became curious.

"Don't get too close to this woman. Many directors and wives are trying to block her, and you have also taken notice of Wei Jin."

Two days ago, Zhang Jingchu met Gu Changwei at night and was photographed by reporters. This was not the first time. Jiang Wenli was not so easy to talk to. She summoned many directors' wives to resolutely suppress this unhealthy trend.

Liu Xiaoli is also worried. Compared with Gu Changwei, Wei Jin is young, handsome, wealthy and talented. In the future, her daughter will have to put a lot of effort into stabilizing her position in the palace.
-

The audition process was not complicated and very efficient. Yang Mi and Jiang Yiyan auditioned one after another.

However, they came out within a few minutes, looking downcast, and everyone at the scene felt sad when they saw it.

Yang Mi felt very regretful. It seemed that the director still liked her very much, but her English was so poor. She vowed to pick up English. She didn't know if she would have such an opportunity in the future.

After a while, Zhang Ziyi also came out with a smile on his face. Many people saw it and suddenly became nervous.

This was Zhang Ziyi's intention. These little girls have poor psychological quality. The more nervous they are during the audition later, the greater their chances will be.

Female artists entered one after another, some asked them to leave directly, and some asked them to wait for news.

Li Bingbing is the former. Nolan directly told her that her age was inappropriate, which made her a little embarrassed.

After she came out, she started chatting with Liu Yifei. After all, the two had collaborated in "The King of Kung Fu" and they were in the same camp in the previous Harper's Bazaar Nights.

"Sister Bingbing, I just saw that Teacher Liu Tao also came to audition. Didn't she Xiying?"

At the beginning of this year, Liu Tao married a wealthy man outside the industry. The wedding was a lively event, and many celebrities in the industry came to support it.

Liu Tao even directly stated at the wedding that he would quit the entertainment industry and would be at home caring for his husband and raising children, so Liu Yifei felt a little strange.

"Hey, don't mention it. This person is also unlucky. I heard that his family is about to go bankrupt."

The subprime mortgage crisis in North America has intensified and has affected the entire world, and the entertainment industry cannot avoid it.

Liu Tao, who had already retired from the industry, began to come out to take roles again, and complained to the media many times, saying that his family was already heavily in debt and his husband was seriously ill.

Many people in the industry are looking at the joke. They quit the industry with lofty words, but then come back after more than half a year. Isn't this a slap in the face?

Li Bingbing also believes that men are still unreliable and must have their own careers, but it seems that there is really no chance this time.

"Okay, I'm leaving first. I wish you good luck. Bye." "Okay, Sister Bingbing, bye."

After a while, someone came out and called Liu Yifei's name. With confidence on his face, Liu Yifei walked in.

When she met Nolan, Liu Yifei introduced herself very fluently and was not nervous at all. She believed that Wei Jin must have made arrangements.

Nolan also flipped through his resume. The beautiful girl in front of him had a very rich resume. "The King of Kung Fu" was also good at the box office in North America. What surprised him most was that there were two singles written by Wei Jin. What did this mean? He knows it very well.

Hunter was also sizing up his boss's new love, mentally comparing her with Jing Tian, ​​not knowing who would be the real boss' wife in the future.

"Crystal, right? Your English is fluent and you have experience in action movies. It's great. We will consider it carefully."

Hunter also made a cheering gesture to Liu Yifei. The latter smiled knowingly and understood instantly.

"Thank you, Director Nolan. I look forward to your good news. Goodbye."

Liu Yifei smiled and waved, turned and walked out.
-

"Hunter, is this the girl Wei recommended? She is indeed quite suitable."

Looking through the marked resumes in his hand again, Nolan asked:

"Of course, Wei takes movies very seriously. In his eyes, everything serves the movie. Ensuring quality is the top priority. He will never recommend actors who do not meet the requirements."

Of course Hunter was bragging about his boss, even though Wei Jin couldn't see it.

"Perhaps it is this attitude that allows him to achieve such achievements at such an age."

Nolan felt a little emotional. Although his commercial box office has surpassed Wei Jin, he is still far behind in terms of awards and honors.

"So, Christopher, does this trip feel like it was in vain?"

Hunter folded his hands and lay comfortably on the back of the seat with a teasing tone.

"No, I think it's the right thing to do. In this way, Warner executives have no reason to put pressure on me."

"So, Christopher, do you have an answer?"

"of course."
-

Nolan and his team left the capital on the day the audition ended. They were going to scout out the intended filming locations.

Everyone in the industry was talking about the audition that day. It was reported that all those over the age of 30 were dissuaded from the audition. Li Bingbing also stepped forward and admitted the matter.

Now many actors who were not dismissed on the spot were very excited. Those well-known celebrities were all over thirty, which meant that their opportunity had come.

The happiest person among them is Zhang Ziyi. Although the results haven't come out yet, she already has a plan in mind and even said on many occasions that she won't be in China for a while.

Her words made everyone feel uncomfortable. Did she already get the role?

However, if you think about it carefully, Zhang Ziyi does have a great chance. He is a big star, is developing in Hollywood, is of the right age, has a close relationship with Warner Bros., and has already participated in the science fiction film "The Martian". He is a perfect candidate. .

For a while, many female stars were worried about gains and losses. After all, it was a US$2.5 million movie. Although the chance was slim, what if? ——

The disturbances from the outside world did not affect Wei Jin. In the studio of the digital base, the crew of "Super Body" was still filming in full swing.

"Mr. Zhang would like to offer you a job."

A voice came from the phone.

This was the translator on the other end of Mr. Zhang's phone, translating the drug lord's words to Jing Tian in English.

At this time, Jingtian's face was splattered with blood. She was extremely nervous and did not dare to touch the foreign objects on her face with her hands. Her pale face and bright red blood stains were particularly clear in the camera.

Seeing that the gringo who was laughing wildly in front of him just now turned into a corpse in the blink of an eye, he was dragged into the storage room by the men of the Korean drug lord.

Jing Tian had not yet recovered from the shock and asked, "Work?"

Cui Minzhi, who had his hands on the table, heard his prey's question and nodded with interest.

When Jing Tian saw the affirmation of this murderous demon, he suddenly burst into tears:

"No, I don't want any job, please."

Before he finished speaking, Sun Honglei, who played Ma Zai, punched him and knocked him unconscious.

"Ka, this one passed, very good."

After Wei Jin watched the replay, he was very satisfied with this part. This part was mainly about the scenes between Cui Minzhi and Jing Tian, ​​and both of them performed very well.

When Jing Tian heard this, she also breathed a sigh of relief. This scene required a good mental state of the actors. She felt that her nerves were about to break. If she did it a few more times, she might collapse.

"Tiantian, your progress is really not small, very good."

Sun Honglei had a smile on his face, as if the fierce person just now was not him at all.

Although Cui Minzhi on the side didn't understand Sun Honglei's words, he probably understood the meaning and gave Jing Tian a thumbs up. This made the little girl feel very happy, as if all the fatigue in her body had been wiped away.

"Thank you, Brother Hong Lei, for teaching me well, hehe."

During the past few days of filming, Jingtian's serious and hard-working attitude was recognized by many people on the crew. She also actively asked her seniors for acting skills and got along very happily with everyone.

After a while, assistants and makeup artists came over to help the actors remove their makeup, and the behind-the-scenes staff also began to pack up related equipment. Today's shooting task was completed.

After several days of filming, the scene where Jing Tian was kidnapped by the gang boss and then forced to open the mysterious safe was finally completed.

Soon several staff members from the Bayi Factory came over and took back the prop guns from several actors.

There are a lot of gun battles in the movie "Super Body", and the props are all rented from Bayi Factory. China has very strict controls on this aspect. Even during the filming, there were staff from Bayi Factory accompanying the crew to prevent accidents. Accidents happen.

After each shooting, these prop guns and remaining empty shells will be counted and taken back for safekeeping by themselves. The management is very strict.

"Tiantian, you can go back by yourself later, I have something else to do."

The digital base is in Huairou, and the crew has arranged a hotel nearby, but Wei Jin and Jing Tian are usually used to going back to stay, and they won't delay anything anyway.

"Oh, are you coming over tonight, brother?"

Jing Tian had a look of expectation on his face. He had been living with Wei Jin these days and could sleep with his beloved man in his arms every night. Not to mention how happy he was.

"It's probably very late. Let's forget it for today. You should go to bed early."

Sensing the disappointment on the little girl's face, as if he was afraid that she would think too much, Wei Jin added another sentence.

"Senior Brother Ning Hao has something to do with me. You may need to drink some. Don't wait for me tonight, be good."

There were too many women, and Wei Jin also had a headache.
