Chapter 545: Binbin, You Should Visit Wang Shu Again
For Fan Binbin, 2009 would definitely be the year that would bring him to the peak of his career if everything went well.

In terms of commercial films, he participated in "The Besieged City in October" starring Zhen Zidan, Nicholas Tse, Wang Xueqin, Liang Jiahui, Li Yuchun, Li Ming and others.

The Wang Xueqin mentioned here is the Wang Xueqin among Jinbao, Jiayin and Xueqin mentioned by Xiao Wang on Weibo.

Now that the quagmire of the economic crisis has passed, Boss Xu is about to take off.

Boss Xu was able to survive this financial crisis thanks to funding from Hong Kong capital.

Hong Kong capital is a big circle, some people stand in front of the stage, and some people are hidden behind the scenes.

The fact that Boss Xu's Evergrande was able to survive this global financial crisis was mainly due to the funds from the Zheng family in Hong Kong.

The Zheng family, the same Zheng family as Chow Tai Fook.

Not to mention the family's other assets, just talking about gold mines, this family owns dozens of them in Australia.

In terms of commercial films this year, Fan Binbin has starred in not only "The Siege of the City in October" but also "The New Shaolin Temple".

The male protagonists are played by Andy Lau and Nicholas Tse, with Chen Long making a guest appearance, and she plays the female protagonist.

Both of these films are commercial films starring many big names.

Judging from the cast, Fan Binbin will gain considerable popularity after the movie is released.

Even if the movie becomes a hit, it can make you extremely famous.

In terms of art films, not only has he agreed to work with Li Yu again, but he has also agreed to collaborate on a film with Wang Xiaoshuai, who won the Jury Prize at the Berlin and Cannes Film Festivals.

If all these film and television resources go smoothly, Fan Binbin will be able to become one of the top artists in the country.

At the same time, he met Wang Shu who was preparing to co-produce a big movie.

This film and television resource is just connected to the film and television resources in her career plan.

Through several domestic film and television resources, he became a top domestic artist.

Then, through Wang Shu’s resources for co-producing blockbusters, he stepped onto the international stage with great success.

This path is not like Zhang Ziyi's, but like Gong Li's.

As we all know, Zhang Ziyi's path to the international stage is just a small one.

Gong Li's path into the international arena is upright and well-deserved.

Face and substance, have.

Therefore, if all the film and television resources that Fan Binbin takes over go smoothly within this year, then she will be the next Gong Li.

Apparently, Mu Xiaoguang and Fan Binbin also had the same idea.

Especially the link of Wang Shu is crucial.

Mu Xiaoguang felt that it would not be difficult to obtain domestic resources with the help of his matchmaking.

But without the corresponding connections and resources on the international stage, I had no idea where to start.

Fortunately, there is an extremely simple and direct way.

Through Wang Shu, step onto the international stage.

In other words, Wang Shu is very important to Fan Binbin.

If it wasn't important, given Fan Binbin's arrogant attitude, he would never take the initiative.

As a veteran artist who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, Fan Binbin, like many other artists, has a style of flattering the powerful and bullying the weak.

When interacting with people who are more powerful than her, she is polite and humble.

When interacting with people who are not as powerful as her and whom she is not familiar with, she holds her head up when speaking.

The current situation did give her the capital to be arrogant.

If it were someone else, they would have been defeated long ago after being hit hard by Huayi and Chengtian.

However, she was doing better and better, while Huayi and Chengtian could only watch.

Anyone can be arrogant.

It can even be said that given the fact that Fan Binbin even dared to interfere in Wang Xiaoshuai's play, if Wang Shu was not an Oscar-winning director, if Wang Shu was not able to bring people to the international stage, if Wang Shu was not so powerful, she would not be so humble.

Moreover, even if he appears to be humble, he actually has plans to add to the drama.

If she hadn't taken part in Wang Shu's drama, she wouldn't have had the time to film other dramas.

"A visit?" Fan Binbin groaned.

She also wanted to visit him, but after what happened today, it would be embarrassing to visit him again within such a short period of time.

After all, she had already told Wang Shu that she had a boyfriend, but she still sent him to her door like this.
Just as Fan Binbin was struggling with his feelings, Mu Xiaoguang said, "For such a co-production, others will definitely come to visit."

"Many people in the industry know that Wang Shu auditions are for show, but some roles will be chosen by the actors themselves."

“So, there will definitely be people who will seek the opportunity to be hired.”

"If we don't take action, the role will likely be taken away by someone else."

"As the saying goes, opportunities always come to those who are prepared."

"So if we want to get the role, we have to be prepared."

When Fan Binbin heard this, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

She knew in her heart that even though she had already negotiated several film contracts, her career was expected to take off and she would become one of the top artists in the country.

However, if people like Li Binbin, Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun got roles in Wang Shu's co-production film.

Even if her next acting appointments are successful, as long as Wang Shu's co-production is also successful, the actors involved in this co-production will still leave her far behind. Although they are both film and television resources, their levels are different.

If the film and television resources she has taken over are A-level, then Wang Shu's co-production resources are S-level.

Even if she took on several A-level film offers, they were still not as good as an S-level one.

The two are at different levels.

As one of the four Dan and two Bing actresses, Fan Binbin has always been competing with the others, so naturally she doesn't want to see these.

Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll find a time to visit Director Wang again."

At this time, I can no longer care about Wang Shu's opinion.

She knew in her heart that if she didn't take the initiative to seize the opportunity, the opportunity would most likely go to someone else.

Mu Xiaoguang replied: "This should be done as soon as possible."

"If you are late, you may be overtaken by others."

"I know." Fan Binbin responded.

Wang Shu was also driving home and answering the phone.

"I heard that you are going to cast and start shooting a co-production film?" Zhou Xun asked in surprise.

"Yes, Life of Pi has been completed. The post-production and editing of this drama are all done by Fox, so I have nothing to do. Plus, Mr. Han and others have been urging me to do it, and the script happened to be ready, so I started working on this movie." Wang Shu continued.

Zhou Xun was silent for a moment after hearing this, and couldn't help but mutter, "There was no script at the beginning of the year, and we were still filming Life of Pi, so how come we're going to start filming this co-production in the blink of an eye?"

Wang Shu laughed and said, "The Hollywood film crews all go to get off work and leave on time, so I have plenty of time to write the script."

“Then I wrote the script while filming.”

“The script was written before the film was finished.”

After hearing this, Zhou Xun fell silent again.

At this moment, she was very annoyed.

There is a feeling of depression in my heart that is difficult to vent, and I feel uncomfortable all over.

She has always felt that with her acting skills and her relationship with Wang Shu, as long as she asked Wang Shu for a role in this co-production, even if she couldn't play the leading female role, she could at least play the second female role.

But now, she is in the crew of "Confucius".

The play "Confucius" was directed by Hu Mei, with Chow Yun-fat playing the male lead and Zhou Xun playing the female lead.

In this era, being able to play the male and female protagonists opposite Chow Yun-fat is definitely a top-notch film and television resource.

Like Sun Li, Zhou Xun originally thought that it would take at least the end of the year for Wang Shu to finish filming "Life of Pi" and come up with the script for the co-production film.

From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, it was impossible not to take on acting offers, so they all accepted them.

At the same time, all the acting contracts he received were scheduled to be completed around September, so that he would have time to take on the co-production film prepared by Wang Shu.

Who would have thought that it would only be the middle of the year and Wang Shu would put co-production on the agenda.

Plans cannot keep up with changes, which completely disrupts their career plans and arrangements.

Now that he has joined the crew and has top resources in the circle, it is impossible for him to quit or have to take on other projects.

Either of these two will offend people.

However, although these acting contracts are top resources in the circle, they are far inferior to Wang Shu’s co-production film resources.

If the two film and television resources are compared, both Zhou Xun and Sun Li will choose Wang Shu's co-production.

However, the situation they encountered was a schedule conflict and they had no choice.

Zhou Xun sighed: "I am currently working on the set of Confucius, which is expected to wrap up in September."

"Confucius?" Wang Shu pretended to be confused when he heard it.

Zhou Xun explained uncomfortably, "Yes, it was directed by Hu Mei, Chow Yun-fat played the male lead, and I played the female lead."

Hearing this, Wang Shu pretended to be surprised and continued, "Hu Mei? Is she the director Hu who directed "Yongzheng Dynasty", "Han Wudi" and "Qiao Family Courtyard"? "

"Yes, it's him." Zhou Xun responded.

"Is it him?" Wang Shu continued to pretend to be surprised. "If it is him, then this book "Confucius" should be able to explain it, right?"

"What else?" Zhou Xun asked, "If it wasn't directed by Director Hu, why would Chow Yun-fat accept the role? Why would I accept the role?"

"In addition to Chow Yun-fat and me, there are also Chen Jianbin, Ren Quan, Lu Yi and others in this film, all of whom are attracted by Director Hu's ability."

This also means that if Hu Mei had made other types of movies, these people might not have participated in them.

But Hu Mei happened to be filming "Confucius", and with the successful examples of "The Yongzheng Dynasty" and "The Emperor Wu of Han", these people had great confidence in Hu Mei.

In the entertainment industry, there are no fools among the actors who are doing well.

If the script is too bad or the director is not very good, these actors who are doing well will basically not accept the role.

Because everyone knows that if they take on a bad movie offer, it is likely to ruin their reputation and make it difficult for them to continue to survive in the industry in the future.

Therefore, most people are very careful about this aspect and do not accept offers to act in bad movies.

People will only compromise when they really have no other choice.

In other words, when the director chooses the actors, the actors are actually choosing the director.
