Immediately afterwards, the great director Steven Spielberg also walked on the red carpet, which immediately caused a commotion in the crowd.

Not to mention the shining stars on the red carpet, at the Golden Satellite Award nominations just announced in North America, Zhang Ziyi and Yang Ziqiong were nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress respectively.

new York.

Posters for "Memoirs of a Geisha" have long been seen in many communities, from Central Street in Chinatown to 42nd Street in Midtown to more than 100 streets in Uptown. The face of the "Geisha" played by Zhang Ziyi can be seen everywhere.

A reporter interviewed residents living on 105th Street and Broadway Avenue in Manhattan.

A resident said to the camera: "In the past few days, I just noticed the poster on the wall at the intersection. I know it is an Asian actress, she must be a relatively famous actor, but I can't remember her name."

When a reporter asked about the poster, a middle-aged woman who passed by said with a smile: "Asian women are becoming more and more popular now. I think their name is Zhang Ziyi, right?"

domestic.

Through reports, a group of women saw Zhang Ziyi's star-studded and arrogant appearance in North America. While they felt the pressure, their envy was also self-evident.

at the same time.

China Film, Yangshi, and Yishu jointly issued a statement that they will jointly invest 50 million to produce a TV series directed by Wang Shu.

Once this news was released, it instantly detonated the entire entertainment industry.

It doesn't matter whether it is a king tree or not. What is important is the three words China Film, Yangshi and 50 million.

Anyone who is a practitioner in the entertainment industry can see that this drama must be a large-scale production with full specifications.

For a time, many actors were eager to get on the bandwagon of this huge production.

At the same time, Wang Shu’s mobile phone was always busy and he kept receiving calls.

"Brother Wang, you are being unreasonable. You secretly worked on a new project with China Film Group while leaving us out." After Wang Changtian called Wang Shu, he expressed his bitterness. He didn't come to question Wang Shu. But cry miserably.

"Mr. Wang, it's not that I don't want to bring in the light, but this is a Yangshi show, and I don't want to mix it up too much." Hearing Wang Changtian's melancholy voice, Wang Shu directly threw the blame.

"You also know that Yangshi has its own production department, and many works are produced independently."

"The company over there has a big business. Let alone a budget of 5000 million, it can easily absorb even a budget of hundreds of millions."

"What's more, there are China Film Group Corporation and Director Han."

After "Buried Alive", Wang Shu and Guang Guang collaborated on "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" and "The Tuner", and both parties are quite honest about their cooperation.

I didn't bring any light this time, which is a bit unjustifiable.

but.

Who makes Han Sanping and Yangshi not want other film and television companies to participate in investment?
  There was nothing Wang Shu could do about it.

Wang Changtian immediately understood the meaning of Wang Shu's words, and he also knew that it was most likely not Wang Shu who advocated not bringing in the light. but.

You know, you know, but you can't stop making phone calls, and you can't stop selling even if you're miserable.

Otherwise, I won’t bring any light next time.

"Director Wang, I don't mean to blame you. I also know that it's difficult to do things." Wang Changtian changed his tone and began to understand Wang Shu. "I just want to say that if you have any projects in the future, let me know." .”

“No matter how big the project is, Guangguang can keep up with it even if it’s a sell-off.”

The popularity of "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" has given Guangguang a sweet taste.

Now that Wang Shu is producing a TV series again, Wang Changtian naturally wants to follow.

Unfortunately, I can't get in the car.

Although the lighting of "The Tuner" was also involved in the casting, one code equals the other.

"Haha, Mr. Wang can trust me so much and rush to give me money, so why should he refuse me?" Wang Shu laughed and said, "If there are any projects in the future, I will let Mr. Wang know." Yes, Mr. Wang, don’t worry.”

"Director Wang's words made me feel at ease instantly." Wang Changtian responded with a smile, and then asked at the right time, "Director Wang, I think it was only announced that you, China Film, and Yangshi invested 5,000 yuan. There was news about Wan co-producing a TV series, but there was no mention of the actors’ roles.”

"Can you tell me what the specific regulations are?"

Wang Shu smiled, knowing that this was the main purpose of Wang Changtian's call, and then said truthfully: "The heroine has been decided, and other actors will be selected through auditions."

"Has the heroine been decided?" Wang Changtian was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"Yes." Wang Shu replied in the affirmative, "Mr. Wang, the choice of the heroine will not be changed. If you have any actors you want to recommend, please send me their personal information."

"I will pay close attention to it when the audition comes."

Having said this, he paused and then continued, "But there is one thing I have to tell you in advance."

"You also know that I am still busy with the post-production work of "The Tuner" and do not have much time to participate in auditions."

"So, I'll only be interviewing for a handful of major roles."

"Besides that, all other roles will be handled by China Film and Yangshi."

When it comes to casting, Wang Shu also knows how to behave.

With an investment of 5000 million W and being jointly produced by China Film and Yangshi, many people in the entertainment industry are bound to pay attention to it.

Indispensable, there are many messy exchanges of favors, interests, etc.

And there are so many characters in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", so he doesn't need to have all the casting rights in his hands.

Not only does it offend people, it also does no good.

It would be better to just make the decision to select some of the main actors, and leave the rest to China Film and Yangshi for selling personal favors.

What's more, Wang Shu really needs to deal with the post-production of "The Tuner" and doesn't have much time to waste on the preliminary preparations for "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Naturally, Yangshi and China Film Group have no objections to this.

Yishu is not an artist manager. Both Han Sanping and Yangshu understand that Wang Shu's purpose in holding these casting rights is not to promote his own artists, but to ensure the quality of the TV series.

Wang Changtian is also an understanding brother and instantly understood what Wang Shu meant.

This was telling him that the main characters would not make random decisions based on human relationships, but based on their true abilities.

It was also telling him that if he wanted to trap people, he should go to China Film and Yangshi.

So he said with a smile: "Then I will recommend a few actors for you first. Then you can focus on them and see if they are suitable. If not, forget them."
