China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 276 Sun Li, you don’t want to either.

"Uh"

This request was embarrassing for Sun Li, but she had just filmed "Sweet Honey" with Deng Chao, and the two of them were deeply in love, so it was difficult to refuse each other.

In addition, she also knew that Deng Chao now wanted to develop into the film industry, and the film directed by Wang Shu was an art film that hit the three major European awards.

If Deng Chao can play a role in it, it will be of great help to him.

Then he pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I'll call Director Wang later to discuss this matter."

When Deng Chao heard that Sun Li said it was a phone call, he answered with a smile: "Doesn't it seem insincere to just call Director Wang to mention this matter?"

"After all, Director Wang is a great director, and we want to get the audition qualification."

"In the end, it was just a phone call, as if to inform the other party. It didn't look like asking someone else to do something."

When Sun Li heard this, she felt a strange feeling in her heart. She silently complained that it's not that we want to get the audition qualification, but that you want to get it.

However, she didn't want to disappoint Deng Chao, so she followed his words and asked, "What do you think we should do?"

This is to inoculate Deng Chao, telling him that it may not be as he wishes.

"Okay then." She sighed in her heart, knowing that there was no reason to refuse Deng Chao's request. Even if she felt it was difficult in her heart, she had to accept it.

I can only hope that nothing happens.

But she knew in her heart that this was impossible.

Based on her private relationship with Wang Shu, if they eat alone, something will inevitably happen.

If you don't refuse, it's really not good.

When Deng Chao heard this, he immediately said the proposal he had thought of in advance: "How about you invite Director Wang to have dinner together and then mention this matter to him. This will appear more sincere."

"It's better that you go there. If it works, forget it."

After hanging up the phone with Deng Chao, Sun Li found Wang Shu's mobile phone number, looked at it blankly for a long time, and finally dialed it.

"After all, I heard that Director Wang's film is an art film destined for the Venice Film Festival. Plus, it's an audition to select actors. There should be many people with ideas."

"If Director Wang has time, you have to treat him to a meal. This will show your sincerity."

"Okay, see you tonight." Wang Shu responded with a smile.

In the afternoon, Mei Ting, her agent and the corresponding team came to Yishu Company.

After Mei Ting handed over the signing of the contract to her agent, who was responsible for connecting with Yishu Company, she drank tea in Wang Shu's office.

If she rejected Wang Shu, she would be embarrassed to mention Deng Chao's audition.

Although Mei Ting trusted Wang Shu, she still needed to go through the necessary procedures.

"Get out!" When Sun Li heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she snorted angrily.

"If you call him earlier and mention this matter, the hope will be greater."

There are a lot of terms in the contract, and agents affiliated with Chengtian need to read it more carefully.

"Yes." Sun Li responded, and then said, "You go about your business first, and I'll see you in the evening."

After all, asking others to give me a chance and not even treating me to a meal is really unjustifiable.

"Hello." Wang Shu saw the call from Sun Li and answered it immediately.

This is the principle, and this is how we do things.

Then he asked, "Do you have time tonight? Let's have dinner together?"

"Okay, goodbye." Deng Chao also smiled.

At this moment, she thought a lot.

"You also know that Director Wang is probably very busy and may not be able to spare time."

"I'm not in the capital right now. I have work to do, so I can't go." Deng Chao said with a smile, "Besides, it would be embarrassing for me to do such a thing."

"Okay, I'll leave this to you." Deng Chao said with emotion when he saw Sun Li being so considerate.

Then, Sun Li hung up the phone.

just

Sun Li was silent for a moment, then asked with even more strangeness in her heart: "Will you come with me?"

"Are you busy?" Sun Li asked softly.

The issue of Mei Ting's remuneration also needs to be negotiated.

"Haha, when I return to Beijing, I will bring you a gift." Deng Chao said with a smile when he heard Sun Li agreed.

"I wonder if you are busy?" Wang Shu teased with a smile.

"Okay, I'll pick you up." Wang Shu said.

"Well, go ahead and get busy. Goodbye." Sun Li smiled.

When Sun Li heard this, she laughed dryly and said, "Go and do your work. I'll call Director Wang now."

Sun Li knew in her heart that Deng Chao really wanted to have this opportunity, so she suppressed the strange emotions in her heart and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll call Director Wang later and ask if he has time."

"It's okay. If Director Wang really doesn't have time, then just talk to him on the phone. Regardless of whether it works or not, we can invite Director Wang to dinner in the future." Deng Chao answered with a smile.

Sun Li also knew that they were the ones making the request, and they should behave in this way when dealing with others. Regardless of whether the matter was successful or not, at least they needed to show the attitude they should have. This is how they behave when asking for help.

Of course Wang Shu was not personally responsible for this kind of thing, and Mei Ting didn't want to keep an eye on it, so she drank tea in Wang Shu's office and waited.

"Human Mountain" is an art film directed by Wang Shu that hit the Venice Film Festival awards. With his ability, looking at the mainland film and television industry, a lot of actresses are competing to star in it without being paid.

Mei Ting knew this, and also knew that she was a small-screen actor trying to compete on the big screen, and that she was heading to the Venice Film Festival for a big-screen art film, so she immediately offered not to pay for the film.

Wang Shu was not really short of money, so how could he engage in prostitution for nothing?

After much back and forth, we finally settled on a salary of 10 yuan.

Comparing Mei Tiao's ranking in the film field, it is really not high.

However, the 10 remuneration can stop everyone's mouths.

Otherwise, if Wang Shu pays too high a salary, people inside and outside the industry will wonder that although Mei Ting is considered a front-line actor in the field of TV dramas, she is still a small-screen actor and has nothing to do with the big-screen except for the time she just debuted. Blank, how can such a small screen actor get a high salary on the big screen?

Moreover, there are many actors who are willing to star in movies and get high pay even if they get zero pay!

This is very contradictory.

On the contrary, the 10W salary is different.

As we all know, Fan Binbin's salary for starring in "Apple" was 10.

Although the movies directed by Wang Shu are of higher value, the .10W salary is not high for an actor of Mei Ting's level, and it can also be regarded as a salary reduction.

In short, the art film directed by Wang Shu, which hit the Venice Film Festival, selected Mei Ting to star, and she took a salary cut to star. This order is normal in the eyes of many practitioners in the film and television industry.

If Mei Ting does not cut her salary, many people will wonder. There is no shortage of actors in Wang Shu's dramas. Why did he choose Mei Ting for a high salary?

Even if there is nothing fishy, ​​there will still be gossip.

Then it spreads into a rumor that is true.

"Your office is quite simple, isn't it?" Mei Ting took a sip of water and then looked around in Wang Shu's office.

Seeing the simple furnishings in Wang Shu's office, I was a little surprised.

She has been to Chengtian Wu Kebo's office, which is not so low-key.

"As long as it can work, there's no need to make it complicated." Wang Shu laughed.

As he spoke, he walked up to Mei Ting, reached out and pinched her face. There are no cameras in the office, so unless someone breaks in suddenly, there is no need to worry.

Mei Ting's face was squeezed and she couldn't help but glare at him, but she didn't resist.

When Wang Shu saw this, he hugged her directly and kissed Mei Ting while she was in a panic.

This was in Wang Shu's office. Mei Ting was worried that someone would break in and see this scene, so she kept pushing Wang Shu's chest with her hands, trying to push Wang Shu away.

But she wasn't strong enough to push Wang Shu away.

Slowly, she accepted her fate.

He kissed Wang Shu nervously and apprehensively.

Wang Shu did not go any further, but kissed Wang Shu for a while and then separated.

Mei Ting glared at him resentfully and silently. Although she didn't speak, she expressed her attitude through facial expressions.

Wang Shu smiled and stretched out his hand to tickle the bridge of her nose.

After Wang Shu made this move, Mei Ting suddenly leaned against Wang Shu's chest and hugged him tightly.

He didn't say anything, just hugged her like this.

Wang Shu took advantage of the situation and touched her head, saying nothing.

After a while, Mei Ting let him go, straightened her clothes with a red face, took a sip of water, and sat on a chair to calm down.

She wore light makeup today and no lipstick on her lips. The two kissed just now, and there was no lipstick mark left on Wang Shu's face.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Mei Ting's agent and Zhou Xiaofa walked into the office with the contract.

Mei Ting signed without saying a word.

After completing this matter, Chengtian's people did not stay long. Mei Tiao came with them and left together.

Wang Shu originally wanted to ask Mei Ting to have dinner with her in the evening, but then he remembered that he had made an appointment with Sun Li in advance, so he didn't say anything.

Mei Ting thought that Wang Shu would have to work overtime at night, so she didn't mention it in order not to hinder him.

In the evening, Wang Shu drove back home, took a shower and changed clothes, and then drove back to meet Sun Li.

Mei Ting has a faint scent of perfume on her body. Wang Shu hugged her, and there may be some residue on her body.

Although this smell will most likely disappear long ago, taking a shower and changing clothes can always avoid trouble.

Soon, he picked up Sun Li at the appointed place.

Sun Li was dressed beautifully. Wang Shu's eyes lit up and he praised: "It's so beautiful!"

Regardless of whether she is really beautiful or fake, she deserves a compliment at this time.

Moreover, sincere praise and sincere praise give people equally different feelings.

Wang Shu's eyes lit up, it was his way of taking things seriously.

When Sun Li heard this, she rolled her eyes, but the smile on her face showed that she was happy.

When Sun Li sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt, Wang Shu turned his head and asked, "What are you going to eat?"

"It's cold, let's eat hot pot." Sun Li thought for a while and said.

"Okay." Wang Shu responded, and then drove to a hot pot restaurant with a good environment.

In the private room, the two of them ordered the dishes and started eating slowly.

Sun Li kept glancing at Wang Shu and asked at the right time: "I heard that you are going to make an art film?"

"Yes." Wang Shu responded calmly.

He thought Sun Li wanted to ask about the female character in the play, and he already had a draft in mind.

"Are you going to the Venice Film Festival?" Sun Li poured a piece of mutton slices into Wang Shu's bowl and asked again.

"Well, I can't make it to Cannes. I do plan to go to Venice, but I don't know if I will be selected." Wang Shu answered with a smile.

When Sun Li heard this, she gave him a roll of her eyes. In her opinion, Wang Shu's play would most likely be selected, so there was no need to worry about it at all.

She said: "Deng Chao would like a chance to audition, is that okay?"

Wang Shu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. When he saw Sun Li lowering her head after saying this, he immediately responded: "Okay, I will send him an audition invitation tomorrow."

"Thank you." When Sun Li heard Wang Shu's promise, she raised her head and smiled back at him.

But the smile was a bit forced.

Wang Shu sighed: "Why are you so polite? Just tell me directly."

He originally thought that Sun Li wanted to ask about the female character, but he didn't expect that she was here for Deng Chao.

Seeing that Wang Shu said it sincerely, Sun Li smiled at him.

This time it was no longer a forced smile, but a knowing smile.

Wang Shu also cooked a piece of mutton for Sun Li, and then said with vaccination: "An audition is an audition. If Deng Chao does not meet the requirements, I will dismiss him."

"You also know that my film is going to the Venice Film Festival."

"So, I will focus on movies."

Although Wang Shu did not explain what he said, Sun Li understood it clearly.

This is telling her that this movie will not involve too many human relationships, and the casting will only consider whether it fits the role in the script.

"You just have to figure it out yourself." Sun Li smiled to show her attitude.

She knew very well that Deng Chao wanted to develop into the big screen. However, Wang Shu's film clearly stated that it was going to the Venice Film Festival, so she could not force Wang Shu to give Deng Chao a role.

If you do this, not only will you not be a good person, but you will also break Wang Shu's heart.

If it were a commercial film, perhaps Wang Shu could be asked to directly book a role.

For an art film competing in the three major film festivals to do this is just unwise.

Seeing Wang Shu eating hot pot silently, Sun Li rolled her eyes and asked, "What about me? Is there a role suitable for me?"

"No." Wang Shu answered directly.

"Ah?" Sun Li looked stunned when she saw Wang Shu's decisive answer, feeling inexplicably disappointed as if she had lost something.

Seeing this, Wang Shu explained: "This is a man's drama, and there is only one female character in the whole drama who plays a lot of roles."

"Mei Ting has been cast for this role before, and people from Chengtian have come to my company to sign the contract."

In the original timeline, Mei Ting had a relationship with Sun Li.

In 2014, at the Magnolia Awards Ceremony of the Magic City TV Festival, Sun Li won the Best Actress Award with "Hot Mom", which scored only 6 points, defeating "Parents' Love" starring Mei Ting, which scored 9 points.

This year's Magnolia Best Actress nominees include Gao Yuanyuan for "Let's Get Married," Li Xiaoran for "The Real Man," Mei Ting for "Parental Love," Qin Hailu for "If Life Deceived You," and Sun Li for "Hot Mom." 》.

Not to mention "Parents' Love" starring Mei Ting, or several other movies, "The Story of Hot Mom" ​​starring Sun Li is not enough to overshadow it.

After seeing it, it was awarded to her.

Later, Sun Li felt that she had received the award in disgrace and asked Deng Chao to come on stage to accept the award on her behalf.
