China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 462 Are you all here to visit Director Wang and uncle and aunt?
It's not just An Yixuan who thinks so. Since Wang Shu returned to China, artists in the domestic entertainment industry have been making various plans.

The film that Wang Shu is going to direct is not made with domestic entertainment resources, but an art film produced and invested by Fox, one of the eight major Hollywood companies, aiming for an Oscar.

If she could take part in this movie, it would not only be equivalent to replicating Zhang Ziyi's path to becoming an international star, but would even surpass it.

Because, back then, Zhang Ziyi only used the opportunity of commercial films to show her face internationally.

"Life of Pi" is not a commercial film, but an art film, a film that can compete for the Academy Awards.

The level of coolness is not on the same level.

"If it's for Life of Pi, I'm sure that not only Li Binbin and Zhou Xun will visit Wang Shu, but many people in the circle will also visit him."

Deng Chao opened his mouth and said.

As an actor who has been in the industry for many years, he has already anticipated what will happen next.

He knew in his heart that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and no one wanted to miss it.

Even if it's just a supporting role, no one wants to miss it.

Because "Life of Pi" is an art film directed by Wang Shu and is aiming for an Oscar.

Everyone knows that even just playing a supporting role is a great honor and benefit.

"That should be the case." An Yixuan responded, "But it's almost New Year's Eve. Right now, only a few people who are close to Director Wang will visit him. After the New Year, I guess more people will visit Director Wang to pay New Year's greetings."

Deng Chao nodded and said, "That's probably the case."

"What about you? What do you think of Life of Pi?" An Yixuan asked with a smile, and as if to avoid Deng Chao's misunderstanding, she immediately said, "I'm not talking about the protagonist, but the supporting role."

"Brother Chao, do you have any ideas about the supporting roles in the film?"

Deng Chao originally wanted to work in the film industry, and he would have loved to have acted in this kind of Hollywood award-winning film. However, he was currently on the set of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", so even if he had any ideas, he couldn't express them.

Because he couldn't guarantee that if he confided his feelings to Ady An now, it wouldn't be known to the entire crew later.

However, if the director and producers of the crew knew that he was in Cao's camp but his heart was with Han, it would be a disaster rather than a benefit.

Then he shook his head and said, "Right now I just want to play the role of Zhang Wuji well. I don't have any other ideas for the time being."

An Yixuan curled her lips when she heard this, thinking that Deng Chao was dishonest and did not tell the truth.

She didn't believe that Deng Chao would not be tempted by the Hollywood award-winning movie.

After the crew finished work and returned to the hotel, Deng Chao took out his cell phone and called Sun Li.

"Lili, I heard from the crew that Director Wang returned to China and brought his parents to Beijing to celebrate the New Year. Li Binbin and Zhou Xun also went to visit them. Is this true?" Deng Chao asked impatiently.

"Yes." Compared to Deng Chao who was far away in the crew, Sun Li was in Beijing, so she had already heard the news.

"What do you think?" Deng Chao asked.

"What are you thinking?" Sun Li was puzzled, not understanding why Deng Chao was so anxious to do so.

"Life of Pi." Deng Chao was speechless. "Li Binbin and Zhou Xun were so eager to visit Director Wang during the Chinese New Year, it must be for Life of Pi."

"Don't you have any ideas?"

"Ideas?" Sun Li responded.

Of course she had some ideas, but she felt that Deng Chao was not in the capital and needed to keep a distance from Wang Shu.

She was worried that if she interacted too closely with Wang Shu, she might make mistakes without knowing why.

She didn't want to make any more mistakes, so even if she had some thoughts, she always restrained herself.

"Then should I give Director Wang a call and ask?" Sun Li said immediately.

Deng Chao was speechless after hearing this. He said, "Li Binbin and Zhou Xun came to visit us, and you just made a phone call?"

"Excuse me, is it more likely that Li Binbin, Zhou Xun and others will come to visit with gifts, or is it more likely that you will get the role by making a phone call?"

Sun Li thought about it after hearing this, and felt that if it was her, her phone call would probably be more useful than a visit from Li Binbin or Zhou Xun.

Because Li Binbin, Zhou Xun and Wang Shu are just ordinary friends, but she is different.

Of course, these thoughts cannot be expressed and can only be buried deep in the heart.

"Then what do you say we should do?" Sun Li asked in a wronged voice.

"Of course I'll go visit Director Wang as well." Deng Chao said as a matter of course.

When Sun Li heard this, she thought to herself that she knew it, but she also knew that Deng Chao was doing it for her own good.

Although she also understood that Deng Chao had some little thoughts involved, it did not conflict with what he was doing for her own good.

Then he replied softly, "Then wait until the New Year is over and go pay your respects to Director Wang?"

"After the Chinese New Year, the flowers will be cold." Deng Chao continued, "Li Binbin and Zhou Xun have already visited them, haven't they? Why don't you buy some gifts and visit them tomorrow?"

"There are a lot of people watching Life of Pi. If you take one step too slow, you'll take every step too slow."

Sun Li had guessed what Deng Chao would say, and after a brief silence, she said, "Isn't it too deliberate to visit like this?"

"Do you still care whether it's deliberate or not at this time?" Deng Chao said seriously, "Everyone in the circle knows about this. It's not uncommon."

"Take Huang Xiaoming for example. When he was in another crew, didn't he go to our house specifically to get a role?"

"We are actors. If we want to get a good role, we must put aside some of our pride."

"Otherwise, you'll just have to wait for the northwest wind to blow."

Hearing this, Sun Li took a deep breath and replied softly, "I understand. I will visit Director Wang tomorrow."

"Well, don't go empty-handed. Director Wang's parents are coming. Buy some nutritional supplements and bring them over." Deng Chao warned. "You don't need to tell me this. I know it." Sun Li continued.

"It's good that you know." Deng Chao smiled, and then jokingly said, "If you can get a role in Life of Pi this time, you may be the second Zhang Ziyi."

"By then, she'll be an international actress."

Sun Li also knew that Deng Chao was joking, so she snorted, "When you see a future international actress, you have to be more humble. Do you understand?"

"I am sensible." Deng Chao responded quickly, "I will be your lackey from now on. Please take care of me, international superstar."

January 2009, 1, there are only two days left until New Year’s Eve.

Wang Shu's villa welcomed a guest again, it was Sun Li who came to visit with many gifts.

Sun Li and her elders know each other. They have watched the two popular TV series "Happiness is Like a Flower" and "The Bund" many times.

"Feng Chengcheng." Tian Yufang called out subconsciously when she saw Sun Li.

Feng Chengcheng is the name of the heroine in "New Shanghai Bund".

"Auntie." Sun Li smiled politely when she heard this.

The family warmly welcomed Sun Li into the house, and then sat down to drink tea and chat.

Just after they sat down and chatted for a while, someone else came. Wang Shu went out to see that it was Jiang Wenli.
Jiang Wenli saw Wang Shu and said with a smile: "I heard that your parents came to Beijing, so I came to visit them."

When Wang Shu heard this, he quickly took the gift from Jiang Wenli's hand and led Jiang Wenli into the villa.

"Mom, Dad, this is Sister Wenli." Wang Shu called out and gave a brief introduction.

The two elders were also very polite. When they saw guests coming with gifts, they immediately came to greet them.

Although Jiang Wenli spoke politely to Tian Yufang, her eyes actually glanced at Sun Li.

"Sister Wenli." In front of Jiang Wenli, Sun Li did not dare to be arrogant and also stood up and called out enthusiastically.

With the arrival of Jiang Wenli, they poured tea and chatted again.

Compared to Tian Yufang who was really chatting, Jiang Wenli and Sun Li had different thoughts.

Both of them knew that since they came to visit Wang Shu at this time, Sima Zhao's intention must be known to everyone.

Sun Li understood after a moment's thought that Jiang Wenli would come.

Although Jiang Wenli is already the Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival, she has never been to the Oscars.

This time, "Life of Pi" directed by Wang Shu is a Hollywood award-winning film aiming for the Oscars.

Jiang Wenli will naturally have ideas.

However, what the two did not expect was that just as they were making their own plans, someone else came outside.

Seeing this, both of them felt a pang in their hearts at the same time.

Soon, Jiang Wenli and Sun Li saw the visitor.

Fan Binbin.

The three of them looked at each other and greeted each other politely on the surface, but no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

Just as the three of them were thinking about it, someone else came.

This person is Huang Xiaoming.

Huang Xiaoming is a scheming person. After learning that Li Binbin and Zhou Xun had visited him one after another, he also came to visit Wang Shu.

Sun Li, Jiang Wenli and Fan Binbin all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the person coming was Huang Xiaoming.

Huang Xiaoming is a male actor and there is no competition between him and them.

When Huang Xiaoming walked into the room and saw Sun Li, Jiang Wenli and Fan Binbin who were already there, he was also stunned, then politely greeted the three of them.

Tian Yufang and Wang Yang looked at each other. There were too many guests today, so it would be difficult to cook.

Yesterday and the day before, there were only Zhou Xun and Li Binbin respectively, and the meals for the four of them were relatively simple.

With so many people here today, we need a big table full of food.

A table full of dishes would take at least several hours to prepare.

Just as the two were thinking about how to prepare a large table of dishes to entertain the guests as quickly as possible, someone else came.

Zhang Ziyi.

Wang Shu was not familiar with Zhang Ziyi, and she was just coming to visit her.

Seeing Zhang Ziyi coming with gifts, Wang Shu would not refuse her entry but would warmly welcome her into the house.

Anyway, there are already several people in the room chatting awkwardly, so one more person won’t make much difference.

However, for Mr. Wang Shu, one more Zhang Ziyi would not be too many.

For Sun Li, Jiang Wenli and Fan Binbin, it was like facing a formidable enemy.

Zhang Ziyi was originally in high spirits and smiling, but when she walked into the room and saw Sun Li, Huang Xiaoming and four others, she was suddenly stunned.

But after all, he is an actor. When he saw Huang Xiaoming and Sun Li greet him politely, he immediately smiled and greeted them again.

She opened her mouth and asked, "Are you all here to visit Director Wang and Uncle and Auntie?"
