China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 550

Upon hearing this, Wang Shu pulled Mei Ting into his arms and hugged her.

"What's wrong?" Mei Ting looked up and asked.

"Nothing." Wang Shu replied softly.

Mei Ting touched Wang Shu's face, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips, then knelt in front of Wang Shu.

Two hours later, Mei Ting fell into a deep sleep in Wang Shu's arms.

Wang Shu doesn't smoke, but if there were cigarettes available, he would like to light one.

In the entertainment industry, conflicts of interest are everywhere, but there is rarely any sincerity.

Like Mei Ting, true heart is exchanged for true heart.

This really made Wang Shu look a bit embarrassed.

Because Mei Ting is sincere, but Wang Shu is not.

Because he is not a scumbag, he will feel a sense of guilt deep in his heart in this situation.

If Mei Ting was like Fan Binbin and others, who were all acting in their own interests, Wang Shu would not feel any psychological pressure.

Anyway, it's not really sincere.

Even if you claim to be sincere, this sincerity cannot stand the test.

Mei Ting is different.

Back then, Yan Po returned to China after studying abroad and was nothing.

Mei Ting has both fame and money.

Beauty, wealthy woman, and big star are her labels.

Yanpo, no money, no everything.

There is a huge gap between the two people's identities and status.

Despite this, Mei Ting was willing to marry Yan Po.

Yan Po came into contact with the entertainment industry through Mei Ting. Seeing that the profession of director was glamorous and prestigious, he also wanted to be a director.

Mei Ting emptied out her savings to help Yan Po embark on the path of becoming a director.

When the two were working together on a TV series, Yan Po, in order to show off, criticized Mei Ting's poor acting in front of the entire crew, and Mei Ting endured it silently.

Even so, Yanpo was still playing around outside, and was even so unscrupulous that he was photographed and made the news.

It was not until this time that Mei Ting divorced him.

Mei Ting's lifestyle is admittedly a bit petty bourgeois, but compared to Fan Binbin and others, if she falls in love with someone, she will give that person her true heart.

It can be said that looking at the entire entertainment industry, there are only a handful of actresses who can marry a man whose status, position and assets are much higher than hers, like her.

Not only did she marry him off, but she also emptied out her savings to support him, which is even rarer.

Compared to the reality of other people in the entertainment industry, she obviously believes in love and is willing to pay for it.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Shu feels so much pressure.

If Mei Ting was a realistic person like Fan Binbin, Zhang Ziyi, etc., then it would be easy to deal with.

Anyway, no one is sincere, so no one can blame anyone else.

"Ah~"

Wang Shu sighed.

Why isn't Mei Ting the same as Fan Binbin, Zhang Ziyi and others?

We are all actors in the entertainment industry, wouldn’t it be better for us to be more realistic?

What are you really playing with?!

Depend on!
Wang Shu turned his head to look at Mei Ting who was sleeping soundly. He reached out and gently stroked her hair, then kissed her on the forehead.

Then, close your eyes and go to sleep.

Early in the morning, Mei Ting washed up, ate the breakfast prepared by Wang Shu, and drove away.

Wang Shu looked at the car's tail as it drove away and sighed again.

Mei Ting, he had never thought of developing a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with her, let alone marrying her.

The reason is very practical.

There are billions of people in the world, and an Oscar-winning director with money and fame, so can't he find a young, beautiful, unmarried woman?

Why would you choose a girlfriend who is not young anymore and is divorced?
Why should you put yourself in a difficult position?

There's nothing wrong with sleeping with him, but having a girlfriend or getting married is out of the question.

Therefore, if the other party treats you sincerely, it will be very...
"Ah~"

No matter what, we have to eat, work to do, and life must go on.

Wang Shu drove his Audi and started his day's work.

The co-production has been discussed and has officially entered the audition and casting stage.

The auditions were scheduled to begin in three days, and many artists in the entertainment industry had received audition invitations.

Originally, this year, blockbusters such as "Confucius" and "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" were being filmed, and these film and television resources were the envy of many actors who were unable to participate.

Now, Wang Shu’s co-productions have started casting, and those films that were made against it suddenly pale in comparison.

If it weren’t for Wang Shu’s co-productions, movies like “Confucius” and “Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame” would definitely be the most watched.

At the moment, it is Wang Shu’s co-productions that are attracting the most attention.

"Danchen, will you audition for Director Wang's co-production?" Zeng Li looked at Yan Danchen across the table and asked.

Xu Huanhuan, who was standing by, heard this question and also looked at Yan Danchen.

"Go." Yan Danchen responded, then looked at Zeng Li and Xu Huanhuan and asked, "What about you?"

"Go." Zeng Li responded.

Xu Huanhuan took a bite of the food and said, "I'll go too."

Zeng Li heard this and said with a smile: "I knew you were all going."

Yan Danchen smiled and said, "It's such a good opportunity to co-produce a film, and it's also a casting and actor selection, so of course I can't miss it."

Zeng Li nodded without comment: "It's definitely not to be missed."

Compared with Yan Danchen and Xu Huanhuan, Zeng Li is a little less confident.

This was not because she felt her acting skills were not as good as Yan Danchen and Xu Huanhuan, but because Yan Danchen and Xu Huanhuan knew Wang Shu, but she did not.

In comparison, Yan Danchen and Xu Huanhuan have more advantages.

Although the three of them failed the last time they auditioned together, Yan Danchen and Xu Huanhuan automatically entered the second round of selection because they knew Wang Shu, which has already proved the advantage of knowing Wang Shu.

Xu Huanhuan glanced at the two of them and said, "Let me tell you, even though this is a co-production with greater competition, it might be easier to get a role than in the past when you auditioned."

Seeing Zeng Li and Yan Danchen both looking over, Xu Huanhuan immediately said, "I heard from people in the industry that Zhou Xun, Li Binbin, Sun Li, Fan Binbin and many others are currently filming on the set, and their schedules all conflict. Unless they overlap, they can't act in this co-production."

"Although I can't guarantee whether they will come to the audition, Director Wang will definitely not be happy if they overlap with other roles."

"As long as they can't interfere with the drama, won't our chances be greater?"

When Zeng Li and Yan Danchen heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

If this is the case, their chances of getting the role are actually greater!
"Director Wang doesn't like actors having to overlap in their roles?" Zeng Li didn't know Wang Shu, so she looked at Yan Danchen and asked.

When Yan Danchen and Wang Shu started working together, Wang Shu had just emerged and was not aware of this.

Just when she didn't know how to answer, Xu Huanhuan's voice rang out, "Yes, Director Wang doesn't like actors overlapping roles."

"He is an actor. He doesn't care if he takes over other people's roles."

"If you interfere with his play, it won't work."

When Yan Danchen heard Xu Huanhuan say this, he immediately agreed, "Yes, Director Wang doesn't like actors overlapping roles." After that, he immediately added, "In fact, many big directors don't like actors overlapping roles."

"Because actors are busy with multiple projects, their minds are not focused on one role."

This statement reveals why directors don't like actors to overlap their roles.

Human energy is limited, and it is impossible to be fully functional all the time.

Multi-role performance means that an actor will divide his energy between performing two roles, or performing multiple roles.

Many times, actors in the industry may not be able to play one role well even if they put in their best efforts, let alone multiple roles.

Therefore, when actors take on multiple roles at the same time, they are adding burden to the crew and the director.

The director, who has no say, can only accept it in silence.

The director who has the final say will certainly not be happy.

For example, Wang Shu.

Xu Huanhuan laughed and said, "Didn't Director Chen scold Yang Mi for doing another role last year?"

"My acting skills were average to begin with, and after being distracted by the filming, my acting became even worse, and I ran into trouble all of a sudden."

After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "From the director's point of view, all they want is for the actors to concentrate on figuring out a role and play it as well as possible."

"And playing multiple roles at the same time is equivalent to not thinking about playing the role well."

"In the director's eyes, this attitude is wrong."

“So many big directors won’t tolerate actors overlapping roles.”

Zeng Li laughed: "As long as Director Wang doesn't like actors overlapping roles, it will be good for us."

"Their schedules conflict, so it's a good deal for us."

Yan Danchen shook his head and sighed, "For this kind of co-production, actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong are all eagerly watching. Even without them, the competition will be just as fierce."

“It’s hard to say whether I can get the role or not.”

Hearing this, Xu Huanhuan agreed and added, "When Director Wang casts actors, his criteria include not only that they fit the role in the script, but also that their acting skills are not bad."

"My acting skills"

"To be honest, in Director Wang's eyes, most of them are very common."

“So, for the starring role, I didn’t think about auditioning.”

"I'm only going to audition for some supporting roles."

Yan Danchen and Zeng Li looked at each other after hearing this. Their acting skills were both average, so they felt a sinking feeling in their hearts when they heard this.

At the same time, Yang Mi's cell phone kept ringing.

There were both calls and text messages, most of which came from her best friends.

"Mimi, are you home?" Huo Siyan.

Huo Siyan called Yang Mi before, but no one answered, so she sent a text message.

"Mimi, are you there? Why don't you reply to my text message?" Huo Siyan.

In addition to Huo Siyan, Li Xiaolu also called Yang Mi, and when the call failed, she also sent a text message, "Mi Mi, are you home? We haven't gathered for a long time, and we plan to get together. Will you come?"

Yang Mi not only heard the phone calls from her best friends, but also read the text messages from them.

If you know, pretend you don’t know.

Yang Mi knew why her best friends kept contacting her one after another.

It was nothing more than the fact that Wang Shu’s co-production film would soon be auditioning for casting, and they were all getting anxious.

This was to let her act as a middleman and organize a party to invite Wang Shu out.

then
In response, Yang Mi smiled coldly, these people are just wishful thinking.

If she had treated each person as an individual before, she might have considered it.

Nowadays, everyone has started to distance themselves from the matter and won’t even consider it.

Not to mention that she was in a somewhat irritable mood right now, and she just felt upset.

"Oh, I don't know if Director Wang agrees to overlap with me?" Yang Mi sighed.

"An Oscar-winning director would not agree to this."

When she thought of overlapping roles, she immediately thought of her experience last year and couldn't help but conclude that Wang Shu would not tolerate actors overlapping roles.

And if you can't overlap with other projects, it will be difficult.

It is now mid-June. In ten days or half a month, on July 7, the TV series "Beauty's Secret" will start filming.

Yang Mi plays the third female role in the film.

At first, Yang Mi was not happy when she received Yu Zheng’s invitation.

At this time, Yang Mi, due to the huge success of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", was already a popular young actress, so she was unwilling to take on roles of lower status.

For her, she accepted that her status in the drama "Beauty's Rival in Palace" was not as high as that of Ruby Lin and she could not play the leading female role.

But she can't play the leading female role, at least she can play the second female role, it's impossible for her to be a smaller one.

Yu Zheng then started to talk nonsense, praising the third female character in various ways, saying that the character was good, distinctive, and capable of shining.

It is also said that Yang Mi has always played the leading female role, and the pattern has become rigid. Playing the third female role in this drama may allow the audience to discover different shining points in her.

Yang Mi was stunned when she heard this. She was a smart person and had always felt that Wang Shu might dislike her poor acting skills. So she pondered Yu Zheng's words and the more she thought about them, the more they made sense.

She wanted to play the third female role so that Wang Shu could see a different side of her. This would not only prove her acting skills, but also allow Wang Shu to see other shining points in her.

This way, perhaps Wang Shu would look at her differently.

Then, wouldn’t you have a chance to be the heroine of a movie?

With this in mind, Yang Mi agreed to Yu Zheng's invitation.

In the original timeline, Yang Mi also agreed to Yu Zheng's invitation, but the reason was not this.

Now, Yang Mi wanted to use this opportunity to make Wang Shu look at her differently, so as to get Wang Shu's film resources, so she agreed to Yu Zheng's invitation.

In short, the reason why Yang Mi agreed to let Yu Zheng play the third female role in "Beauty's Secret" was because of Wang Shu.

But who would have thought that the filming time of this TV series would conflict with that of Wang Shu's co-production.

If she had known that Wang Shu would start casting for the co-production in the middle of the year, no matter how wonderful Yu Zheng's words were, she would never accept the offer, but would have made time to audition for Wang Shu's co-production.

Although it goes without saying that competition in co-productions is extremely fierce, Yang Mi feels that with her relationship with Wang Shu, even if she can't play the leading role, she can still play a supporting role.

Even if she can't play the second female lead among the supporting roles, she will definitely be able to play the third female lead.

You know, Wang Shu is a pure boy who has never been in love, and he has done something so cruel as to risk his life for the beauty he loves.

Even though she is not Wang Shu's girlfriend, she is the only female artist he has had a relationship with.

Given Wang Shu's personality and this friendship, even if the actors are selected through auditions, there will definitely be a third female role.

Especially since Zhou Xun, Sun Li, Li Binbin, Fan Binbin and others all have schedule conflicts, the third female role is a sure thing.

However, in ten days or half a month we will have to join the crew to start filming "Beauty's Secret".

The reason is that it is a TV series, and even though she is the third female lead, she has a lot of scenes.

This means that her schedule will inevitably conflict with Wang Shu's co-production.

Thinking of this, Yang Mi felt uncomfortable.

From her perspective, she agreed to Yu Zheng's invitation to play the third female role in "Beauty's Secret" because of Wang Shu, which she didn't want to play in the first place.

As a result, the third female role in this TV series, which she didn't want to act in, conflicted with Wang Shu's co-production.

I was reluctant at first, but accepted the role because I thought I could act in Wang Shu's movie in the future. However, I missed Wang Shu's movie after accepting the role.

Moreover, there is still a chance for co-productions to be on the international stage.
