China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 505 How to get the role?

In addition to having a top-notch net worth and fame, an actor must also have excellent works to live up to the reputation.

Otherwise, it's just bubbles blown up.

Compared with the other four actresses, the two Bing girls not only do not have any strong awards in China, but also do not have any international awards to support them.

For Fan Binbin and Li Binbin who want to step onto the international stage, the two paths available to them are Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li, who have already taken successful and feasible paths to the international stage.

Zhang Ziyi's path is relatively simple, but it requires corresponding personal connections and resources to support her in order to succeed.

Fan Binbin does not have these network resources at the moment, so she cannot take this path.

In comparison, Li Binbin, who is supported by Huayi, can take this path.

From Li Binbin's perspective, if he had the help of Oscar-winning director Wang Shu, it would be a sure thing for him to break into Hollywood and go international through Zhang Ziyi.

Fan Binbin, who is unable to take this path, can only choose the more difficult Gong Li path.

After winning awards on three major European stages, he moved to Hollywood.

However, if you want to go global in this way, you also need support from resources and funds.

At this time, Evergrande invested in Fan Binbin Studio and became the largest shareholder.

Boss Xu, here you go.

In 2009, Fan Binbin once again collaborated with "Apple" director Li Yu and starred in the movie "Guan Yin Shan".

Immediately afterwards, he collaborated with the popular director Wang Xiaoshuai and starred in the movie "Rizhao Chongqing".

Soon, these two films brought her the fruits of victory.

In May 2010, the film "Rizhao Chongqing" starring Fan Binbin was shortlisted for the competition unit of the 5rd Cannes International Film Festival. Although the film ultimately failed to win any awards, she appeared on the Cannes red carpet in a dragon robe dress and became famous overnight.

In November 2010, Fan Binbin won the Best Actress Award at the 11rd Tokyo International Film Festival for her role in "Guan Yin Shan". The film also won the Best Artistic Contribution Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival.

This is the first major award Fan Binbin has won since leaving Huayi.

Although it is not as good as the three major European awards, but the awards of the three major European awards are not something you can get just because you want to.

Winning the Best Actress Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival has already surpassed many domestic actresses.

Therefore, at the subsequent celebration party, Fan Binbin gave Li Yu a luxury car.

Then in 2011, Fan Binbin won the Best Actress Award at the th Beijing University Student Film Festival for her role in "Guan Yin Shan".

Since then, Fan Bingbing has gotten rid of the title of "vase".

Because of the good results achieved in cooperation with Li Yu, in 2011, Fan Binbin cooperated with director Li Yu for the third time and starred in the movie "Double Exposure", for which she won the Best Actress Award at the th Huading Awards.

In October 2011, Fan Binbin served as a judge at the 10th Tokyo International Film Festival.

However, the Best Actress award at the Tokyo International Film Festival is only something to brag about in China, and it doesn't have much cachet on the international stage.

Putting aside the Oscars, without the three major European awards, it is impossible to step onto the international stage, let alone develop in the international film and television industry.

Therefore, Fan Binbin's international journey has never been successful.

It was not until May 2014 that Fan Binbin finally starred in an international blockbuster "X-Men: Days of Future Past".

But, I still can’t catch up with Zhang Ziyi.

Domestically, it is being overtaken by Yang Mi, Tang Yan and others, and its basic base is about to be lost.

We can only develop honestly in the country and stabilize the basic situation.

……

Gong Li's path to international fame was not an easy one.

In addition to requiring the actors to have good acting skills, they also need to meet a director like Zhang Yimou who can win consecutive awards at the three major European film festivals.

The right time and place are indispensable.

Fan Binbin's acting skills are average, and she doesn't have the support of a director of Zhang Yimou's level. After all the trouble, she only won the Best Actress Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival.

It is completely wishful thinking to want to squeeze into the international film and television industry through Gong Li's path.

Hollywood doesn't take Fan Binbin's award seriously at all.

However, Gong Li's award is taken seriously by Hollywood.

The gap is so obvious.

As for the origin of Fan Ye and the relationship between Fan Binbin and Mu Xiaoguang
In May 2010, while attending the Cannes Film Festival with the crew of "Rizhao Chongqing", it happened to be director Wang Xiaoshuai's birthday. Fan Binbin and the investors invested money, chartered a yacht, and took the entire crew out to the Mediterranean.

After the news broke, someone jokingly called Fan Binbin "Fan Ye" on Weibo.

Since then, the title of Fan Ye has spread like wildfire.

In November 2010, Fan Binbin won the Best Actress Award for the movie "Guan Yin Shan" and held a celebration banquet in Beijing. Some media took advantage of Wang Xiaofei's relationship with Big S to ask her about her attitude towards wealthy families. Fan Binbin responded domineeringly: "I don't marry into a wealthy family, I am a wealthy family!"

The tone for Fan Binbin’s character was set from then on.

During this period, the rumors about Fan Binbin and Mu Xiaoguang never ceased. Sometimes, Fan Binbin said "Mu Xiaoguang loves me like a father", and sometimes she said "it's not bad to have a boyfriend like Mu Xiaoguang".

Until I met Li Chen.

Fan Binbin met Li Chen in 2014. The two met while working together on "The Empress of China".

At that time, the media was hotly discussing the scandal between Fan Binbin and Li Zhiting. As a result, in January 2015, Li Chen and Fan Binbin were photographed appearing together at Yantai Airport.

Then, the media reported: "Fan Binbin fell in love with Li Chen and brought him back to Yantai to meet his parents."

Since then, the scandals involving Fan Binbin and Li Chen have been like a TV series, with one wave after another, climax after climax, being exposed and denied at the same time.

Obviously, this is the hype tactic used by Fan Binbin's team.

During this period, Fan Binbin starred in a movie called "The Bombing". Since it was just a guest appearance, he did not take it seriously. His main focus was on using Li Chen's scandal to promote "The Empress of China".

She never expected that this movie called "The Bombing" would be a hidden bomb that would bomb her to pieces and even affect the entire entertainment industry.

On May 2015, 5, Li Chen posted a photo with Fan Binbin on Weibo and said: "We."

In the photo, both of them are wearing white tops and smiling. Fan Binbin has short hair with bangs, and Li Chen is leaning behind her.

Afterwards, Fan Binbin also left a message "we" in this Weibo post.

From then on, the relationship between the two was finally settled.

On July 2015, 7, Fan Binbin walked out of the Pudong Airport lobby accompanied by his agent Mu Xiaoguang and his assistant. At first, Fan Binbin was chatting and laughing with Mu Xiaoguang, but when they came to Li Chen's car, Fan Binbin and Mu Xiaoguang suddenly had a fierce argument.

Mu Xiaoguang gestured as he spoke as if he was trying to convince Fan Binbin, but Fan Binbin kept gesturing and refused to give in, looking a little angry.

Li Chen, who was sitting in the car, was silently looking at his mobile phone to pass the time and did not get out to "rescue".

Although Mu Xiaoguang later clarified that he was discussing work with Fan Binbin, why were they talking and laughing before, but started arguing as soon as they got in Li Chen's car?
It is possible that Mu Xiaoguang had no idea that Li Chen would drive to pick up Fan Binbin in person, which made Mu Xiaoguang very annoyed.

Later, a photo appeared on the Internet. When Fan Binbin was attending an event, he held Mu Xiaoguang's hand, while Li Chen was like a little follower, quietly following behind.
From this we can see that whether it is Bona Yudong or Evergrande's additional printing, it is all for the sake of career and to act according to the situation.

With Mu Xiaoguang, their relationship started out as a collaboration and then evolved into romance, which slowly transformed into "family affection." Coupled with the age gap, they got married in Taiwan in 2013 after getting married with Mu Xiaoguang.

In 2014, Fan Binbin suddenly felt like having a relationship, and that's when Li Chen came into the picture.

But Mu Xiaoguang is Fan Binbin's agent after all, so the two have always maintained "close contact".

Li Chen was also very clear about this.
Now it is 2009, the year when Fan Binbin officially began to aim his development route at the international stage.

Mu Xiaoguang looked at Fan Binbin and whispered again: "If we can get the role of the heroine in this co-production, it will be of great help to enter the international stage."

"It may even allow us to step onto the international stage!"

"However, there should be a lot of people eyeing this drama. Not to mention Zhang Ziyi and others, Li Binbin and others will definitely have ideas as well."

Last year, Li Binbin made Fan Binbin envious with his movie "The Forbidden Kingdom".

Although Li Binbin is not the heroine, this kind of Sino-US co-production is an extremely rare resource even if she is not the protagonist.

Not to mention that Li Binbin obviously wanted to replicate Zhang Ziyi's path to the international stage through the movie "The Forbidden Kingdom".

He then starred in "Travel to Taipei", which further accelerated the process.

On the contrary, she has not taken a step yet.

"I know." Fan Binbin said solemnly, "It's just that Director Wang's movies are not short of investors, not to mention that we don't have the funds to invest in exchange for roles."

The financial crisis hit Evergrande hard, and Hong Kong funds invested in Evergrande to help Xu Jiayin overcome the difficulties. This is how Fan Binbin got to know Boss Xu.

At this time, Boss Xu had not yet gained momentum and had not yet invested in Fan Binbin's studio.

She doesn't have much source of funds other than her own income.

"So, we need to think of other ways to see if we can get the role," said Mu Xiaoguang.

"Director Wang is now the youngest Oscar-winning director in history. He just won the award and is currently directing Life of Pi, which is produced by Fox. This movie is another art film that is competing for an Oscar."

"Therefore, the co-production that Director Wang is planning to prepare will definitely be a big deal."

“Whoever can get a role and participate in it will have a great chance to step onto the international stage.”

"Besides, if I can continue to work with Director Wang, it won't be impossible for me to make it to Hollywood."

"It's best to get this opportunity!"

"If I can get it, at least I can save several years of hard work and take my career to the next level."

Fan Binbin sighed: "I understand all this, but how can I get the role?"

After saying this, she couldn't help but think of the last time she had annoyed Wang Shu.

After several interactions with Wang Shu, she clearly felt that Wang Shu had become much more distant from her.

Now, no matter how much I regret, there is no medicine to regret.
