During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 463: Each of you has his own unique tricks and will never be inferior to others!
The drama "Reincarnation of Killing" has completely attracted the attention of the domestic entertainment industry, and Han Sanping's goal of hype has been achieved.

At this moment, Zhongying threw out its second card.

"It has been confirmed by the five major producers that the leading female role in "The Killing" will be played by a Chinese actress, and some of the actors will also be played by Chinese. The specific casting method is to be determined."

As soon as the news came out, it caused a huge wave in the circle.

If the male actors could still remain calm, the female stars went completely crazy.

The leading lady!

The leading actress in a $1.7 million blockbuster film, and the leading actress alongside Tom Cruise!
Although we know that the leading female role in such a big production must have very high requirements for international status, there are not many people in China who meet the requirements.

Even though he knew that this was a script from the Wei and Jin dynasties, he had a lot of say. According to past practice, it would most likely be the girls from the Jin dynasty who would perform, and no one else would have a turn.

But even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, these female stars who are pursuing advancement definitely don’t want to miss it. Just like in the original "Pacific Rim", no one expected that Fan Bingbing would have the last laugh!
As I said, this opportunity is so rare!

At one time, a large number of female stars began to take action.
The crew of "Late Summer, Early Sunshine".

Yang Mi, who just won the Golden Eagle Goddess title, couldn't wait to find Zeng Jia after a scene ended.

"Jia Jie, what did the company say? What are the requirements for the female role? Is it an open casting or an invitation-based audition? Where is the script?"

Listening to Yang Mi's rapid-fire questions and looking at her expectant eyes, Zeng Jia shook her head.

"I've already asked, but Director Zhang doesn't know either. We can only wait for notification. How about you ask President Wei?"

"I sent a message a long time ago, but my senior brother never replied to me, and the person who answered the phone was Huang Mengying."

Yang Mi was a little helpless at the moment. Wei Jin was always not around at the critical moment, so he couldn't use the beauty trap.

"I guess there have been too many messages or phone calls to Mr. Wei these days, so he doesn't want to respond."

At this point, Zeng Jia's face showed a trace of confusion, but in the end she couldn't help but speak.

"Mi Mi, to be honest, your chances this time are not great. Why don't you just decide on Tiny Times first?"

"No, Sister Jia, I don't want to miss the opportunity again because of my schedule. I have to wait. My senior said before that he would arrange it for me. Maybe it will be this drama? Yes, it must be like this."

Yang Mi was trying to convince herself rather than Zeng Jia. Even though she knew her chances were much smaller than those women, she had to fight for it anyway.

She absolutely doesn't want the tragedy of "Pacific Rim" to happen again!

Magic City, Sugarman Film and Television.

"Shishi, have you contacted President Wei in the past two days?"

Looking at Miss Cai's earnest gaze, Liu Shishi's face showed a bit of helplessness.

"Yes, but he is abroad these days, so it's not easy to call or anything, so we just send messages."

"That"

"Ms. K, I know what you're going to say. Don't think too much. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Liu Shishi interrupted Miss Cai. She was now Tang Ren's partner, so she didn't have to be as cautious about certain things as before.

"Hey, Shishi, don't leave in such a hurry. I asked you to come here today because of another matter."

Seeing Liu Shishi sitting down, Miss Cai took out a document from the drawer.

"Shishi, I have a script here. Take it back and have a look. If you have time, ask him for me."

Miss Cai had no choice but to do this. Her previous show "The Desert Ballad" failed, so she started "A Thousand Mountains and Twilight Snow" this year. She had to think of some way, after all, Tang Ren and his whole family needed to eat.

"Okay, I'll find a chance to ask him."

After taking the script, Liu Shishi left the office.

As soon as she came out, she was greeted by the iced milk tea handed to her by her assistant Taozi. After Liu Shishi took it, she put in the straw and took a sip. She felt much more comfortable instantly.

Taozi, who was standing by, hesitated for a long time before finally asking.

"Senior Sister, do you really have no idea about "The Killing Cycle"?"

After taking another sip of the milk tea and slowly savoring the pearls, Liu Shishi reached out and touched Taozi's forehead.

"You, follow me now, don't follow Sister K and think about all the nonsense all the time."

After saying this, Liu Shishi didn't care whether Taozi could understand it or not, and just drank her milk tea.

In fact, how could Liu Shishi not be tempted by the role? But she knew very well that it would never be her turn to play the leading female role in a $1.7 million production.

Maybe after "The Witch" becomes a hit, there will be some chance, but now, she has to admit that there is still some gap between her and those women, and there is no need to make things difficult for her brother.

"Don't fight for a day or a night, don't fight for a city or a piece of land, just treat it gently."

This is the strategy Liu Shishi set for herself. If three years doesn’t work, then ten years will do. Let’s see who can’t stand it first.

Shenzhen, the crew of "Dear".

As soon as a scene ended, Zeng Li's assistant Xiaolan came over with a phone.

"Sister Li, Miss Zhang called just now, but she didn't say anything. Do you want to call her back?"

Zeng Li frowned slightly. She had already guessed Zhang Ziyi's intention. After some consideration, she called back.

It seemed as if the other end was waiting for a reply, and soon the call was connected.

"Lizi, you just came back from the northwest and went to Guangdong again. You are so busy. When will the scenes over there be finished?"

"Zi Yi, I don't have a lot of scenes here, probably only about ten days left. What about you? Aren't you busy promoting the movie? How do you have time to call me?"

"I miss you. By the way, Li Zi, do you have any plans after the filming is finished?"

After saying this, Zhang Ziyi on the other end of the phone began to hold her breath.

"No, I will stay in Beijing from now on and spend time with Dudu."

As soon as Zeng Li finished speaking, she could clearly feel the tone of the other party become lighter.

"Well, I have to spend more time with the kids. Let's get together in Beijing when the time comes. We haven't seen each other for almost a year."

"Okay, let's call them all and have a good time together. By the way, Ziyi, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. I'm about to start here."

"Oh, that, Li Zi, I want to ask about the role. Don't worry, I don't want to make things difficult for you. I just want to know the details."

Zeng Li heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. Her old classmate was still very sober and did not make any excessive demands. Then she did not hide anything and told him everything she knew. After receiving a round of thanks, Zeng Li returned the phone to the assistant, drank two sips of water, and walked towards the set.

In the capital, in a villa.

"Xixi, can Wei and Jin take charge of this project?"

Liu Xiaoli stared at her daughter with burning eyes. In her opinion, this opportunity was too good to be true, and was no less exciting than "Inception".

To a certain extent, "Reincarnation" is an even greater blessing for the actress, after all, she is the rightful female lead.

This is a huge temptation for Liu Xiaoli, who has a Hollywood filter.

"Ah? I don't know. He didn't tell me."

Liu Yifei was lying on the sofa, watching TV and petting the cat, dealing with the situation in a disjointed manner.

"Then why don't you ask?"

"What's there to ask? He has his own ideas in mind."

Having said that, Liu Yifei turned to look at her mother, remembered what happened before, and couldn't help but give her some advice.

"Mom, if you really want to do good for me, don't make trouble."

After years of getting along, Liu Yifei has already figured out Wei Jin's temper, and she will be more confident if she doesn't fight with him.

Warner was very efficient and completed the complete shooting plan in just one week.

After Wei Jin got the detailed information, he called Han Sanping immediately.

"Director Han, for this shoot, Warner estimates it will take one month to prepare, three months to complete the shoot, and four months to complete the post-production special effects."

Even through the phone, Wei Jin could feel Han Sanping was stunned. Indeed, this efficiency was much higher than that in China, and even Shanhe Media could not reach this level.

"So that means filming will start in mid-October at the latest?"

"Yes, the engineers and technicians from China Film can be arranged in advance. Also, please finalize your role as soon as possible. I have been harassed enough these days."

At this point, Wei Jin couldn't help but complain in his heart. Because of Han Sanping's operation, his phone calls, WeChat, text messages, and even emails have increased exponentially these days. Fortunately, they were all handed over to Huang Mengying to handle.

"Don't worry, it will be announced in the next two days. I still plan to arrange for the Chinese people who are going abroad to be filmed by the film studio. After all, the image will be better in all aspects."

"Well, it's up to Mr. Han to decide."

When Wei Jin wrote this script in the early years, he did not consider making it a co-production, and after the project was finalized, he only emphasized the role of the leading female character.

As for allowing other Chinese actors to participate, it is purely a sign of sincerity from Warner, and it feels like this can replicate the success of "Pacific Rim".

In fact, these characters don’t have many parts in the screen, and they are all group portraits of the army, so Wei Jin was too lazy to worry about it.

"By the way, when will you be back? Are you going to have some new project in North America?"

"Well, I'll arrange my lottery tickets in advance, probably in about a week."

Sure enough, when he heard about the award-winning film, Han Sanping lost interest. He knew that it was impossible for China Film Group to participate.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Wei Jin hung up the phone and took some time to pay attention to the domestic film market.

"The Hunger Games" has been released in China and earned 4800 million in three days.

This result is indeed far behind the violent performance in North America, but you have to know that it is only one or two days behind "Prometheus" and "The Expendables 2".

In addition, there was only a week between The Amazing Spider-Man and Batman 2, so the competition was too fierce.

At this moment, the film market is equivalent to five Hollywood blockbusters reaping the rewards, with the total box office exceeding 1 million per day, and the market is being directly squeezed dry.

Several movies that have not been released in August have been abused to death.

"Drug War" is doing relatively well. It has reached the end of its release period and its box office has already exceeded 4.5 million.

"The Bullet Vanished" has been released for more than half a month, and the box office has struggled to reach 1.9 million yuan, and it is almost falling below one million in a single day.

As for Zhou Xun's "The Whistleblower", it ended its theatrical release a few days ago and finally grossed 1.71 million yuan at the box office.

However, "The Lion Roars 2" and "Border Storm" have already been removed from theaters a long time ago. Giving them a full half-month of screening time has become an unspoken rule in the industry.

At the moment, "Sad Fairy Tale" and "White Deer Plain" are a bit panicked. After all, they will be released in more than a week. Won't they be suppressed?
Afterwards, Wei Jin paid attention to the industry information again, and unexpectedly saw a big drama.

Lou Ye has always been a big mouth, but Wei Jin didn't expect him to be so bold.

Other directors would at most make films on marginal subjects and then submit them for exhibitions.

But this guy, when he gets the chance, he confronts the Film Bureau internationally, criticizes the domestic censorship system, and even accuses himself of being oppressed and suppressed.

The result is predictable. While people were still in Venice, a notice from the bureau had already been issued in China that the film "Floating City Mystery", which had already obtained the Dragon Mark, needed to be reviewed again.

This also set a precedent in the country. Even Wei and Jin would have to give him a thumbs up. It's really awesome!
Han Sanping was very efficient and announced the situation of "Killing Cycle" in just two days.

"Female lead: Jing Tian; some supporting roles will be played by actors from Beijing Film Studio and the Cultural Troupe. Filming is expected to start in mid-October."

As soon as the news came out, the circle immediately exploded. Everyone was still waiting for the audition, but who knew it would already be decided.

But if you think about it carefully, not to mention the relationship between Jing Tian and Wei Jin, just the fact that she belongs to Starry Sky and is also a shareholder of Wanda Pictures, if there is only one female role, she is indeed the most suitable one in every aspect.

"Why? They clearly said they would arrange it for me. Why? How am I worse than them?"

Seeing Yang Mi's nagging look as if his faith was broken, Zeng Jia couldn't help but speak up to persuade him.

"Mi Mi, cheer up. Don't you think you can't make it without that man? Even if you get this movie, what's the use? Without the support of continuous global releases, you are nothing more than the next Zhang Ziyi. Is this what you want? Listen to me, I have already made comprehensive considerations for the studio."

After all, Yang Mi is a woman with a strong sense of career. Listening to the beautiful blueprint constructed by Zeng Jia, she saw the studio becoming a company, signing artists, investing in movies and TV series, and seeking to go public. Each step was clear.

Yang Mi suddenly raised his head, his voice hoarse.

"Sister Jia, I'm just sad for a moment, do I need to lecture you so much?"

Seeing that Yang Mi seemed to have awakened, Zeng Jia's face flashed with relief. Yang Mi had not changed. He was still the ambitious and motivated Yang Mi.

"You scared me to death. I thought you were going to collapse."

"Haha, Sister Jia, no one can defeat me. Go and reply to the film company. I'll take Tiny Times."

At this moment, Yang Mi completely cut off all emotional ties, and a light flickered in his eyes, which was ambition.

She, Yang Mi, has never been inferior to anyone in her life!
