China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 513: I don’t want to star in a co-production!
It is impossible for Wang Shu to keep his phone turned off all the time. The moment he turned it on, the text message ringtone kept ringing.

Apparently, many people couldn't get through to him on the phone, so they chose to send text messages.

Wang Shu took a look and saw that Fan Binbin, Li Binbin, Zhou Xun, Ning Jing, Qin Hailu, Sun Li, Yang Mi, Mei Ting, Chen Hong, Jiang Wenli, Liu Yan, Yang Xing, Zhou Haiwei and others had all sent him text messages.

You can guess the reason without reading the content.

The news of the co-production really stimulated these people.

From his point of view, it was just a test of the waters to make a co-production film because he couldn't refuse such a kind offer.

But from the actors' perspective, this co-production will be a top-notch film resource equivalent to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that can be used to enter the international stage.

No one wants to miss it.

Wang Shu took a quick glance at the text message and had a rough idea of ​​its contents.

Just as he expected, almost all of them had ideas about co-productions and came to him in a roundabout way to ask for information or recommend themselves.

Wang Shu sent a text message to Mei Ting: "My phone has just been turned on. I have something to do during the day. Let's have dinner together in the evening. I'll talk to you then."

"Yeah." After the text message was sent, only a few tens of seconds later, Wang Shu received Mei Ting's reply.

Seeing this, Wang Shu scratched his head.

For this co-production, I won’t talk about other people, but Zhou Xun, Sun Li, Yang Mi, Mei Ting and Liu Yan, who have close interactions with him, all have their own ideas.

If the news gets to the United States, Gong Li will most likely have some thoughts.

There is only one female lead, and even there are only one or two supporting female roles at most.

If you give it to one of them, the others will be unhappy and angry, which will lead to conflicts.

This is also the reason why the lustful director Wang Jin only supported Qiu Shuzhen when he was with her.

If Wang Jin praises other people, Qiu Shuzhen will be dissatisfied and angry.

The fact is that Wang Jin supported other women, and Qiu Shuzhen quarreled with him and eventually broke up.

In matters like this, expecting a woman to be generous and considerate only exists in fairy tale fantasies.

Fortunately, Wang Shu doesn’t have a girlfriend, so he has relatively more room for maneuver in this situation.

However, no matter how much room there is for maneuver, in the end there will still be a situation where some people will be angry because they cannot get the role.

Although, Wang Shu could have patted his pants to indicate that he didn't care whether you were angry or not, just get out if you were unhappy.

But Wang Shu is not the kind of scumbag who turns his back on people as soon as he puts on his pants.

This is why there is some confusion.

Wang Shu finally had a chance to take a break from his busy schedule. He went to the company, reported some work matters, and then drank tea and slept in the office.

At this moment, Yikeshu Company is also discussing co-production of films.

As an employee of Yikeshu Company, it doesn't make sense that the company would not have any information about the boss's plan to co-produce a film.

The fact is, there is really no news.

This made many employees feel a little overwhelmed.

Outside the company, everyone was discussing the news, as if their boss was planning to co-produce a film.

But no news came out from within the company.

For a time, some people began to suspect that it was fake news.

Wang Shu sat in the office, drinking tea and replying to text messages.

Chen Hong: "I heard you're going to make a co-production?"

This was the text message that Chen Hong sent at the beginning.

Wang Shu replied: "I had a chat with Mr. Han and people from the Film and Television Bureau while having dinner together."

I had just taken a sip of tea after sending the text message when I received a text message from Chen Hong.

She was currently sitting in an office chair in the studio, drinking coffee and browsing entertainment news on her computer. The entertainment news she saw had already reported that "rumor has it that Wang Shu is planning to prepare for a co-production."

In addition, she also saw the news that Wang Shu and Yang Wei were sitting at a street stall eating barbecue.

While she was touring these, her cell phone rang.

I took it out and saw that it was a text message from Wang Shu, so I replied immediately.

"So, you are really planning to co-produce a film?" Chen Hong asked.

"Nine out of ten times I will, but I have to wait until the filming of Life of Pi is finished." Wang Shu replied without hiding anything after reading the text message.

"No wonder your phone is turned off, it turns out you really have this plan." Chen Hong replied.

"Ah? You called me?" Wang Shu asked.

"No. I just happened to hear that a lot of people called you, but your phone was turned off." Chen Hong explained.

"Haha, I just turned on my phone. Not only am I the first one to reply to you, but I'm also the first one to reply to you." Wang Shu replied to the flirting text message while drinking tea.

"Go and fool those little girls. I won't believe it." When Chen Hong saw the text message Wang Shu sent back, a smile appeared on her face and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"I'm not lying to you. You're the first one to reply immediately." Wang Shu replied to the text message that was protesting against him.

Wang Shu didn't have a girlfriend, and he was also a pure and innocent person, so Chen Hong believed him. Seeing these messages, she felt a little sweet in her heart, but on the surface she tried to change the subject by asking, "A lot of people have sent you messages, right?"

"Yeah, but I didn't reply to any of them. I only replied to your text message." Wang Shu replied.

Chen Hong was silent for a while, and replied: "You still have to reply to other people's text messages. Although you are an Oscar-winning director now, the environment in our country pays more attention to interpersonal relationships." "So, even if you are a big director, you can't ignore these, otherwise you will suffer."

This text message was obviously written from the heart out of concern for Wang Shu.

In Hollywood, whoever has market value and can make money is the boss.

The reason in China is that the society is based on personal relationships, and the film and television industry is a unified monopoly.

Therefore, interpersonal relationships are more important than strength.

Whether it is a director or an actor in the circle, many people are able to rise to the top not because of their ability, but because they are better at licking or have more connections.

"There are too many text messages, and it's too troublesome to reply. But if it's on a weekday, I will reply. This time, I don't want to reply." Wang Shu replied to Chen Hong's text message.

"Why?" Chen Hong looked curious and confused after reading the text message.

Wang Shu replied: "Because, I want to invite you to star in this co-production, and I want to tell you about this first."

Chen Hong was startled when she saw the message, and then she remembered what Wang Shu said before, that she would be the first one to reply immediately.
Since I want to tell her about this, she must be the first one to reply immediately!
This sentence is the proof!

Prove that Wang Shu really didn't lie to her!
Thinking of this, Chen Hong once again felt a sweetness in her heart.

She hadn't felt this way for a long time and had long forgotten this sweet feeling.

Now, after meeting Wang Shu, I feel it again and again.

"There are so many actresses in the circle, why do you want to invite me to perform?" Chen Hong couldn't help but ask even though she knew the answer.

Of course she knew why Wang Shu wanted to invite her to perform, but she still couldn't help but ask.

"What do you think?" Wang Shu asked.

"I don't know." Chen Hong replied.

Wang Shu replied: "Then you don't need to know. Anyway, I just want to invite you to act. I don't care about many actresses in the circle. I only like you."

This statement is a double entendre.

Chen Hong understood the message immediately after reading it and replied: "Then there must be something wrong with your eyes."

Wang Shu replied: "There is nothing wrong with my eyes. There are many actresses in the entertainment industry, but you are the most suitable."

This is another double entendre.

It is saying that Chen Hong is the most suitable person to play the role, and it is also saying that the two of them are the most suitable.

Chen Hong understood immediately and replied: "I told you there's something wrong with your eyes, and you're still trying to make excuses."

Wang Shu immediately responded: "I'm telling the truth, why are you quibbling? I really want to invite you to act."

Chen Hong was silent for a while: "I don't want to act."

Of course Wang Shu knew that Chen Hong would not perform in the film. It was precisely because Chen Hong would not perform that he said all these things so openly.

"Why?" Wang Shu pretended not to know.

Chen Hong replied: "No reason, I just don't want to act."

"But I want you to play the role." Wang Shu continued to reply to the affectionate text message, "This co-production is a great opportunity. I don't want to let others take advantage of it, so I want to give the role to you."

Chen Hong knew very well that Wang Shu's co-production would be the country's top film resource, and countless actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong were vying for the opportunity to participate.

just
She can't act!
If she takes part in the show, where will Director Chen save his face?
If Chen Hong could get this kind of opportunity, she wouldn't want to miss it.

However, the co-production is a project directed by Wang Shu.

Even if you don't want to miss it, you have to miss it!

"I'm not suitable." Chen Hong was silent for a while again and replied.

"It doesn't matter. I just think you are suitable for it." Wang Shu replied to the text message in a domineering manner.

After reading it, Chen Hong felt a sweet feeling in her heart again.

To anyone else, this might be nonsense.

But when Wang Shu said it, she knew it was the truth.

As long as Wang Shu uses her, she is the protagonist.

Even if someone thinks it's inappropriate, it's useless.

"I told you it's inappropriate, so it's inappropriate. Why don't you understand?" Chen Hong pretended to be angry and replied.

Wang Shu did not answer the question, but replied: "Sister Hong, this is a very good resource. I don't want to give it to others, I only want to give it to you."

After reading the message, Chen Hong fell silent again. After a long while, she replied: "Fool!"

Wang Shu replied with surprise: "So, you agree?"

Although they were not face to face, Chen Hong could feel Wang Shu's surprise between the lines. Thinking that she would not be able to perform and would have to let Wang Shu down, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Response: “No.”

"Ah?" Wang Shu.

It was just a simple word and a question mark, but Chen Hong could sense Wang Shu's surprise and disappointment. She felt even more depressed and replied, "I really won't be acting in this co-production, but I will go to the premiere to show my support for you."

"But I want you to perform, Sister Hong." This time it was Wang Shu who was silent for a while before replying.

After reading the text message, Chen Hong replied to change the subject: "Do you already have the script?"
