Chapter 277 Worrying about gains and losses

As one of the three major TV festivals in China, the Magnolia Awards of the Magic City TV Festival have been controversial far more than this time.

In 2012, the 18th Magic City TV Festival Magnolia Awards were held.

Nominated for Best Actress are Jiang Wenli in "Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door", Liu Shishi in "Jingxin", Xiao Songjia in "The Cliff", Sun Li in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and Xi Meijuan in "The Love of Children".

The winner of this year's Magnolia Award for Best Actress is Song Jia in "Cliff".

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" premiered at the end of 2011 and quickly became popular all over the country, becoming the most popular phenomenon-level TV series at that time.

Sun Li didn't get the video.

Jiang Wenli, one of the favorites, also did not get the queen.

On the contrary, it was little Song Jia who got the title.

From these series of operations, it is easy to see that the so-called TV festival in China is basically a game where a small group of people divide the pork.

If you rely on connections and benefits, you can win prizes.

"The male roles will be selected through auditions in two days."

In fact, Mei Tiao had the confidence to drop out of school.

At the same time, she also knew that as an accomplished and capable director, Wang Shu directed art films, and there would indeed be many actors willing to star in them for free.

Mei Ting was admitted to the Beijing Theater Academy in 1996 and dropped out of school in 1997 to take over the filming of the TV series "Northern Story".

While surprised, he also understood why Wang Shu settled on Mei Tiao.

She knew about Mei Ting. She had honed her acting skills even after being dropped out of the Beijing Drama Academy after debuting for more than ten years.

It was precisely because of the drama "Northern Story" that she won the feature film "Red Lover" co-starring with Zhang Guorong, and won the Best Actress at the Cairo International Film Festival.

Not only was she able to work with Leslie Cheung during her debut, but she also won the Best Actress Award at the International A-Class Film Festival. Even Zhang Ziyi openly expressed envy that year.

"And the salary is 10W."

"I don't have one that I like. It all depends on the results of the audition." Wang Shu said truthfully, "But if I have to say who I like, it's Zhang Hanyu."

It can only be said that compared to the obvious operation of dividing pork, which is not installed in domestic film and television festivals, the three major European companies will at least install it.

She gave up these and went to Beijing Drama Academy.

We know each other well after working together, plus the acting is good and the salary is cheap, the price-performance ratio is very high.

The same goes for film festivals.

Although the Cairo International Film Festival is not as good as the three major European film festivals, it is also an international Class A film festival.

Of course, the three major European companies also have many off-site operations.

He started to wash some food and put it into Wang Shu's bowl, and asked curiously: "Besides Mei Tiao, who else has been chosen?"

Art films are different from commercial films.

When Sun Li heard this, she pretended to give Wang Shu a roll of her eyes and snorted: "Stingy!"

The Beijing Drama Academy has regulations that prohibit students from taking on roles before their junior year.

"Ha." Wang Shu took a bite of the mutton and said slowly: "I'm going to play this movie in one of the top three major European movies. Not only across the country, but here in the Beijing area, there are many actors who are willing to star in it for free. "

However, she dropped out of school.

Before she was admitted to the Beijing Theater Academy in 1996, she was already a platoon-level cadre of the Jinling Song and Dance Ensemble.

"To tell you the truth, Mei Ting said she would get zero pay at the time. I felt it was a bit bad not to pay a penny, so I gave her 10 yuan."

Commercial films cannot win awards, so remuneration is more important.

"Did you choose Mei Ting?" Sun Li paused while rinsing Wang Shu's mutton and asked subconsciously.

After being admitted to the Beijing Theater Academy, he was classmates with Zhang Ziyi, Qin Hailu, Hu Jing, Zeng Ni, Fu Jin, and Yuan Quan, and they were known as the "Seven Golden Flowers".

If he doesn't get a share, even if people across the country think that this actor should win the award, he still won't get it.

When Sun Li heard this, she gave him a roll of her eyes.

"So, Mei Ting has to thank you for your generosity?" Sun Li couldn't help complaining.

"So I selected the actor for the female role first, and the rest were male roles."

"Ah?" Sun Li opened her mouth in surprise when she heard that Mei Ting's salary was only 10W.

"." When Sun Li heard Wang Shu say that Mei Ting was willing to star in the role for zero pay, she understood even more why this role was given to Mei Ting.

Sun Li was stunned when she heard this. She thought of Deng Chao and couldn't help but ask, "Is there anyone you like?"

This wave of dropouts is not a loss.

"Currently, only Mei Ting has been cast." Wang Shu saw Sun Li's surprise and continued, "I told you just now that there is only one important female character in this drama."

"What? Are you surprised?" Wang Shu prepared some food for her.

"Yes." Wang Shu responded, and then said, "I have worked with her before when filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and her acting skills are good."

Art films can win awards, and awards are closely related to an actor's career development and status in the industry. In comparison, film remuneration is secondary.

"Haha, thank you. We are both very satisfied with the cooperation." Wang Shu laughed.

"Mei Ting is also a top-tier actor no matter what. She needs to have acting skills and be well-known. Her film salary can be in the millions at least, but in the end she was only given 10 yuan. How stingy!"

"When I was filming Buried Alive, he helped me a lot in order to be able to go to the Berlin Film Festival."

"So, if his audition goes well, there will be a role for him."

When Sun Li heard Wang Shu talking about Zhang Hanyu, she also knew that Zhang Hanyu had a different weight in Wang Shu's heart. She didn't look surprised and asked, "Apart from Zhang Hanyu, is there no one you like?"

"No." Wang Shu answered directly.

In fact, he has it in his heart, and he has spoken out.

Zhang Hanyu's age and image are quite suitable for the protagonist Tie Boss in "Human Mountain".

There is a saying that the kindness of a drop of water is repaid by a spring of water.

He has decided to give the role of Iron Boss to Zhang Hanyu.

When Sun Li heard this, she looked at Wang Shu, blinked, and asked with a smile: "What do you think of Deng Chao?"

"Uh, didn't you say that you would send an audition invitation to Deng Chao?" Wang Shu was stunned for a moment.

When Sun Li heard this, she gave him another look.

She didn't force Wang Shu to cast Deng Chao, but used this method to leave an impression on Wang Shu.

In the future, when Wang Shu is filming again, he may immediately think of giving Deng Chao a role.

Seeing that Wang Shu was silent, Sun Li thought of Deng Chao's instructions in her mind, and pouted and said resentfully: "Deng Chao also graduated from the Beijing Drama Academy. His acting skills are very good."

Wang Shu felt happy when he heard this, and said that it doesn't matter whether Deng Chao's acting skills are good or not, you will definitely say yes anyway. He smiled and responded: "I know, it is indeed good."

Deng Chao's acting skills can't be said to be good or bad, in short, just average.

Especially Deng Chao has now participated in the movie "Assembly", playing a supporting role in it.

Before that, Deng Chao was a TV drama actor.

The acting style of TV drama actors is very different from that of movie actors.

Although Mei Tiao is also an actress in TV series now, she has also made movies before.

In addition, when I was helping director Yan, I also served as a producer and so on.

The business ability is not bad.

All that's missing is opportunity.

But at this time, he definitely couldn't express what was in his heart. When Sun Li heard what Wang Shu said, she looked at him with faint eyes.

Wang Shu pretended not to understand and asked in confusion: "What are you looking at me for?"

"Can't you watch?" Sun Li snorted when she didn't hear the answer she wanted to hear.

"Haha." Wang Shu laughed twice and rinsed the mutton for her.

Sun Li watched Wang Shu put the cooked mutton into her bowl, and sighed in her heart. She knew that Wang Shu cared about her.

If you ask for too much, or ask for things that you shouldn't ask for, it will be harmful to Wang Shu.

A very hurtful injury.

She understood this truth and continued the topic of Deng Chao.

After finishing the hot pot meal, the two returned to the car and sat down.

Wang Shu turned his head and asked, "Are you going to my house?"

"Why are we going to your house?" Sun Li asked angrily.

"It's still early, you can go sit down at my place and have a sip of tea." Wang Shu said with a smile.

After hearing this, Sun Li was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "I want to go home."

Wang Shu was stunned for a moment and responded: "Okay."

In fact, from the moment he received Sun Li, Wang Shu felt Sun Li's alienation intentionally or unintentionally.

Although Sun Li sometimes acted very close to her during this process, she always kept it to herself.

Closeness only lies in the excellent relationship, not in.

He also understood what was going on about Sun Li's change.

After the two collaborated on "Secret Garden", Sun Li joined the team to film "Sweet Honey" with Deng Chao.

Although he and Sun Li exchanged text messages from time to time, today was the first time they met.

During this period, Sun Li and Deng Chao were always on the same crew.

The relationship between the two is boyfriend and girlfriend, and it is normal for their relationship to heat up.

Under the circumstances, Sun Li's guilt took over, and she took the initiative to keep distance from Wang Shu.

Seeing Wang Shu agree so decisively, Sun Li looked stunned for a moment, and her heart suddenly felt empty, and she began to worry about gains and losses.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

She turned her head and no longer looked at Wang Shu, but looked forward and remained silent.

Wang Shu didn't say anything, started the car and headed towards Sun Li's residence.

Seeing that Wang Shu remained silent, Sun Li took the initiative to find a topic and said, "Today's hot pot was delicious, what do you think?"

"Yes." Wang Shu responded and concentrated on driving.

As he said "hmm" and stopped talking, the atmosphere became silent again.

Sun Li opened her mouth and said: "I think the most delicious thing is boiled mutton. You also know that we actresses rarely eat meat in order to stay in shape."

"Yeah." Before he could finish speaking, Wang Shu hummed again.

"." Sun Li could hear the perfunctory tone, opened her mouth, and swallowed the second half of the sentence.

As Sun Li shut up and Wang Shu stopped talking, the atmosphere between the two turned to silence again.

After a while, Sun Li spoke again: "Today is already over March, and the heating will stop in a few days, but the weather is still a bit cold."

"Yeah." Wang Shu said "Yeah" again in response.

Sun Li looked embarrassed when she saw this, and then stopped talking.

The two of them just sat in the car in silence. Wang Shu was silent and concentrated on driving. Sun Li was silently looking at the scenery outside the window, wondering what she was thinking.

Not long after, Wang Shu sent Sun Li to the intersection near her home.

Sun Li originally wanted to ask Wang Shu to go to her home for a sip of tea, but suppressed the idea.

She felt that if Wang Shu went to her home, something might happen.

If something happens, I will be sorry for Deng Chao.

She didn't want to feel sorry for Deng Chao.

just

She bit her lip, unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door and walked out. After getting off the car, she leaned over and faced Wang Shu through the window and said, "Be careful on the road, I'm going back first."

"Well, goodbye." Wang Shu smiled back.

Seeing Wang Shu's smile, Sun Li was worried about gain and loss. She opened her mouth and suddenly swallowed back the words that came to her lips. She then smiled back and said, "Goodbye."

After saying that, he took a few steps back and kept a distance from the car to make it easier for Wang Shu to start.

Wang Shu didn't stop for long. When he saw Sun Li retreating, he started the Audi and drove away.

When Sun Li saw Wang Shu driving away like this, her worries about gain and loss became even stronger.

I feel like this is fine, but I also feel like I've lost something and it's very uncomfortable.

At the same time, I was worried deep down in my heart.

She was looking for Wang Shu to do something today, but her attitude was like this.

Is this still possible?

"Wang Shu shouldn't be so cautious, right?" Sun Li murmured to herself.

She returned home, took a shower and was about to rest, when she received a call from Deng Chao.

"What are you doing?" Deng Chao asked.

"Get ready to sleep." Sun Li responded.

"How are things going?" Deng Chao got straight to the point.

"I had dinner with Director Wang and told him about your audition. He said he would send you an audition notice tomorrow," Sun Li said.

"Then what?" Deng Chao asked subconsciously.

"Then I came back." Sun Li said speechlessly.

"No, I'm asking if Director Wang said anything else later?" Deng Chao asked.

Sun Li knew what Deng Chao wanted to ask, and she replied: "I didn't say anything special. I just said that the ownership of the role will depend on the audition effect."

"That's it." Deng Chao originally thought that Sun Li would take advantage of him, but he didn't expect that in the end he would only look at the results of the audition.

As for the art films directed by Wang Shu, competition will inevitably be huge, and it is very likely that they will not be able to compete with others.

Sun Li heard the disappointment in Deng Chao's tone, opened her mouth to say something, then closed her mouth and swallowed.

"What about you? Have you asked about female characters?" Deng Chao asked.

"Asked." Sun Li answered truthfully, "Director Wang said that the script is a man's drama, and there is only one female character in it. Mei Ting has already been cast through an audition, and the contract has been signed."

"Mei Ting?" Deng Chao was a little surprised when he heard this. This was a candidate he had not expected.

But soon, he felt that it was unexpected and reasonable.

Wang Shu had collaborated with Mei Ting when filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan", so it makes sense to collaborate again.

When Sun Li heard Deng Chao's doubts, she immediately said: "Mei Ting was willing to star in the film for zero pay. Director Wang felt that it was not good to not give her a pay, so she gave her a 10 paycheck."

"That's it." Hearing Sun Li's words, Deng Chao was even more stunned.

With Mei Ting's ability and position, she is willing to star for zero pay, so she will definitely be favored.
