China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 461 Scoundrel
There are two versions of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" broadcast in mainland China in recent years.

One is the 03 version starring Li Yapeng, Zhou Xun and others, and the other is the 08 version starring Hu Ge and Ariel Lin.

Compared to the 08 version, the 03 version is far more popular.

When it comes to the mainland version of Huang Rong, the one that everyone knows is Zhou Xun, not Ariel Lin who played the 08 version.

It is undeniable that Li Yapeng's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" received mediocre reviews from some fans, with mixed reviews.

On the contrary, The Legend of the Condor Heroes starring Hu Ge ranked second after the version starring Felix Wong.

However, version 03 has truly reaped the benefits of the times.

Zhou Xun is indeed the most well-known character of Huang Rong.

For example, Wang Shu's parents, Tian Yufang and Wang Yang, have been looking at Zhou Xun from time to time since Zhou Xun came in.

"Shuzi, is this girl really Huang Rong?" Tian Yufang pulled Wang Shu aside and asked in a low voice.

Zhou Xun's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was played repeatedly on the TV in Wang Shu's home, and the two elders watched it again and again.

"Yes." Wang Shu understood Tian Yufang's meaning and responded.

"But it doesn't look a bit like it?" Tian Yufang's hesitant voice sounded.

It's normal for her to hesitate.

Zhou Xun is more photogenic, but in real life she is not as lively as she appears on camera.

"Mom, the last time she played Huang Rong was seven or eight years ago. How can it be the same after so much time?" Wang Shu explained in a low voice.

"Ah?" Tian Yufang was surprised when she heard that.

In her memory, it seemed that she had seen Huang Rong on TV last year.

After Wang Shu reminded me, I realized that so many years had passed.

In order to cover up her mistake, Tian Yufang asked, "What is your relationship?"

"Mom." Wang Shu said helplessly, "We have worked together on film and television before, so of course we are friends."

"Besides, I have a boyfriend."

Tian Yufang was just asking casually, and she didn't really think that Wang Shu and Zhou Xun were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, so she just responded and said nothing more.

Zhou Xun has a very sweet mouth, and while talking with Tian Yufang in the living room, he made Tian Yufang smile constantly.

Wang Shu sat beside him with a confused look on his face. Zhou Xun was not like this usually.
All I can say is that women have many faces and can show all kinds of appearances as long as they want.

Especially the actresses, they have achieved great accomplishments.

After chatting for a while, Tian Yufang and Wang Yang went to the kitchen to cook for the guests.

After all, Li Binbin was invited to dinner yesterday, so he cannot be treated differently.

Like Li Binbin, Zhou Xun declined for a while, but finally agreed because he couldn't resist Tian Yufang's enthusiasm.

Afterwards, only Wang Shu and Zhou Xun were left in the living room.

It was Zhou Xun's first time to visit Wang Shu's villa. He stood up and said with a smile, "It's my first time here. Why don't you take me around?"

"Haha." Wang Shu smiled when he heard that, and then took Zhou Xun to visit his villa.

I first visited the first floor and then went to the second floor.

"This is my bedroom." Wang Shu opened a room and gestured.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun walked over with a smile.

Wang Shu followed her and waited until Zhou Xun entered the room, then hugged her from behind.

Zhou Xun was frightened by Wang Shu's sudden action, and immediately struggled hard without making any sound.

She was worried that she would make some noise and be heard by Tian Yufang and Wang Yang who were cooking in the kitchen on the first floor, so she tried her best to restrain herself.

"Let go!" Zhou Xun snorted in dissatisfaction when he saw that he couldn't break free.

"No!" Wang Shu responded with a smile.

Zhou Xun was helpless when he heard this, and snorted: "You are a scoundrel. I told you not to do this, but you still do it. You are not only worrying, but also not learning from your mistakes."

Wang Shu ignored Zhou Xun's words and leaned over to whisper in Zhou Xun's ear: "I miss you~"

After saying that, he hugged Zhou Xun's body, turned around, and kissed her.

Maybe the words "I miss you" carried too much weight, Zhou Xun only resisted symbolically for a while, and then let Wang Shu kiss her.

The bed was right next to them, and as they kissed, they fell onto it.

Wang Shu kissed Zhou Xun while undressing her.

This time Zhou Xun no longer let it go, but resisted with all his might.

She did not push Wang Shu away to stop him from kissing her, but just stopped him from taking off her clothes.

But she was no match for Wang Shu.

"Ah~"

Just when Wang Shu wanted to go a step further, Zhou Xun's reason prevailed and she cried out pitifully, "No~"

When Wang Shu met Zhou Xun's pleading eyes, his heart softened. He stopped further actions and kissed the other's lips.

After kissing for less than ten seconds, Zhou Xun pushed Wang Shu away, then stood up and silently adjusted his clothes.

After tidying up for a while, Zhou Xun felt that he had finally returned to his original state. He immediately glared at Wang Shu fiercely and said, "If you dare to do this again, I will tell Auntie."

"Tell auntie, you knew I had a boyfriend, but you still pestered me."

Wang Shu disagreed with this statement.

It is said that if you have disagreements, you can just draw a line.

You want this and this, how can such a good thing happen in this world?

Wang Shu deliberately teased: "Then you go and tell me, I'll wait here."

"Rogue." Zhou Xun spat when he heard this, and then said earnestly, "It's wrong for us to do this. Don't do this in the future. Do you understand?"

"If you continue like this, I will ignore you."

The fact is, except on holidays or when he had something to do, Wang Shu basically never took the initiative to contact Zhou Xun on weekdays. It was always Zhou Xun who took the initiative to contact Wang Shu.

Even when they were sending text messages to each other, it was always Zhou Xun who took the initiative.

Wang Shu certainly would not say this without emotional intelligence. He asked, "Who made you so beautiful?"

Then he said aggrievedly, "Isn't it your fault?"

Even though he was trying to pass the buck, Zhou Xun's mouth curled up slightly and he snorted, "So, you're still blaming me?"

"No matter who you blame?" Wang Shu asked righteously.

Although these words were completely specious, Zhou Xun only pretended to be dissatisfied on the surface, but he was actually happy to hear them in his heart.

Because these specious words were actually a roundabout way of praising her.

Of course, such words are only effective when the relationship between the two parties reaches the stage of ambiguity or above, otherwise it may backfire.

In short, it is only suitable for flirting, not for bootlicking.

Seeing Wang Shu's self-righteous look, Zhou Xun curled his lips and snorted, "What a scoundrel."

After saying that, he immediately added, "We should go downstairs, in case Auntie and the others can't find us."

The subtext of this statement was that he was worried that Wang Shu's parents would have some suspicions after not seeing them for a long time. Therefore, Zhou Xun stood up and walked out first without waiting for Wang Shu to respond.

Wang Shu followed Zhou Xun to the first floor, and then took Zhou Xun to visit the small courtyard outside.

Since it was winter, there was nothing to see outside and it was also very cold, so the two of them took a brief walk and returned indoors.

The two sat down in the living room. Zhou Xun took a sip of hot water and asked, "I heard that Li Binbin came to your place yesterday?"

When Wang Shu heard this, he thought there were really no secrets in the Beijing circle. Li Binbin had just come yesterday and Zhou Xun knew about it immediately.

I guess at this moment, not only Zhou Xun knows about it, but many people in the Beijing circle should also know about it.

"Yes." Wang Shu also took a sip of hot water and answered.

"What is she doing here?" Zhou Xun looked at Wang Shu and asked.

"She heard that my parents came to Beijing, so she came to visit them." Wang Shu continued.

He spoke the truth.

Because Li Binbin used this reason to visit yesterday.

However, Zhou Xun didn't believe it at all. She rolled her eyes at Wang Shu and snorted, "Tell the truth."

"That's the truth." Wang Shu looked innocent.

Zhou Xun looked suspicious when he saw this, and asked, "Didn't you say anything else?"

"Yes." Wang Shu responded, and seeing Zhou Xun staring at him with a pair of big eyes, he continued, "She talked to me about "Taipei Trip" for a while."

When Zhou Xun heard the song “Travel to Taipei”, his face turned even darker.

In her opinion, if her schedule had not conflicted at the time, since Wang Shu was working with Huayi, he would definitely choose her to play the leading female role.

Due to scheduling issues, Li Binbin actually got a great deal.

But this is already in the past and is not what she is concerned about.

"Is that all you said?" Zhou Xun curled his lips, looking as if Wang Shu was not being honest.

Wang Shu laughed and said, “He also talked about Life of Pi.”

Zhou Xun thought to himself that as expected, Li Binbin came to visit during the New Year's Day, so how could he just talk about "Taipei Trip"? His purpose must be "Life of Pi".

"Life of Pi" is a Hollywood movie. If I can take part in it, I will have the opportunity to show my face in Hollywood just like Zhang Ziyi.

And it’s not just about showing your face.

Because "Life of Pi" is an art film that is worthy of an Oscar.

Although the film is only in the preparation stage, given the nature of the novel "Life of Pi", everyone knows that the goal of the film adaptation must be an Oscar.

Oscar
Many actors in the domestic entertainment industry do not seek to win an award the first time they go to the Oscars. Being able to go to the Oscars once is already something they can brag about in the domestic entertainment industry.

Precisely because this drama is so tempting to domestic entertainment actors, Li Binbin couldn't wait to pay a visit as the Lunar New Year approached, in order to get the opportunity before others.

However, they don’t know that there are no Chinese female characters in this play.

In other words, they believed that even if there was no Chinese female character, as long as Wang Shu was willing to work on revising the script, it was not impossible to add a Chinese female character.

"Are you asking you for a role?" Zhou Xun snorted.

"No." Wang Shu shook his head.

"Huh?" Zhou Xun was surprised when she heard this. This was different from what she expected.

Since Li Binbin came to visit, how could he not ask about the role?

Wang Shu then said, "I told her there were no Chinese female characters in Life of Pi, and then she went back home after lunch."

"." Zhou Xun was speechless after hearing this.

She said why Li Binbin didn’t want a role, so this is what happened!

"There are no Chinese female characters?" Zhou Xun looked up at Wang Shu with a suspicious look.

The expectant look seemed to be asking if she was deceiving Li Binbin.

"Indeed not." Wang Shu replied affirmatively, which disappointed her.

According to the director-centered model of the domestic entertainment industry, even if there is no role, the director can create one by simply modifying the script.

Wang Shu met Zhou Xun's eyes and knew what she was thinking. He then continued, "This script is a project of Fox, one of the eight major Hollywood film and television companies. Hollywood is producer-centered. Directors do not have many rights other than filming. These rights, including modifying the script and casting, are all in the hands of investors and producers."

"Especially for projects of the Big Eight in Hollywood, the director's say is even more limited."

"So, you don't have the right to modify the script?" Zhou Xun understood what Wang Shu meant and asked with a disappointed look on his face.

As a director who has won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival and the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, Wang Shu naturally has a certain say in "Life of Pi". It is not impossible to make small changes to the script as long as the producer and Fox agree with it.

However, there are only a few main characters in "Life of Pi", and no matter how much they modify it, they can't squeeze a Chinese actress into it.

But if I just stuff it in as a supporting role, it would be meaningless.

Wang Shu didn't want to bother explaining, so he said, "Yes, the scripts of the eight major Hollywood studios are generally not edited by anyone except themselves."

"I see." Zhou Xun's mood instantly turned good when she thought that Li Binbin returned empty-handed just like her.

Just as Zhou Xun was about to say something else, Tian Yufang appeared and called them to eat.

After hearing this, Wang Shu immediately stood up and asked Zhou Xun to come and sit down.

At the dinner table, Zhou Xun kept praising Tian Yufang for her delicious cooking, and there was constant laughter.

evening.

The crew of "Eternal Dragon Sword".

"Brother Chao, I heard that Director Wang has returned to Beijing, and he has brought his parents to Beijing to celebrate the New Year."

"Not only that, I also heard that Li Binbin and Zhou Xun visited Director Wang one after another."

An Yixuan came close to Deng Chao and talked loudly.

"Ah?" Deng Chao was stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

An Yixuan smiled proudly and said, "This matter has spread throughout the Beijing entertainment circle, how could I not know about it?"

When Deng Chao heard this, he subconsciously asked, "Is this true?"

"Can I still lie to you?" An Yixuan was speechless.

Deng Chao pondered for a moment and asked, "Why did Li Binbin and Zhou Xun go to visit Director Wang?"

"I heard that Director Wang's parents came to visit." Ady An continued, "But everyone said that this was just for show, and they were actually here for the role in Life of Pi."

"Everyone says that if you visit someone on a regular basis, it's too purposeful and not good."

"And now, Director Wang's parents happened to come to Beijing, which gave them a logical reason."

When An Yixuan said this, her tone was sour.

Because the script of "Life of Pi" was so tempting, she also wanted to visit Wang Shu.

If you can get the role, it’s no problem even to donate your body.

Unfortunately, there is not even the opportunity to donate the physical body.

An Yixuan thought that Wang Shu was young, handsome and talented, so even if she donated her body to get the role, she would not lose out.

even
Instead, she made a lot of money.
