China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 99 Li Eucalyptus: Do I, an international director, have no respect for myself? (Please subscribe!)
  Before Director Li Eu returned to China, he had already announced that he was coming back to select actors for his new movie.

At this time, the entire entertainment industry knows that the new drama script directed by Li Eucalyptus will be adapted from Zhang Ailing's short story "Lust, Caution".

It's an international director, an adaptation of a famous novel, and it's a literary film. This movie hasn't even been made yet, so it's almost like a big award has been booked in advance.

Few star actors can resist the temptation...

A lot of gossip has appeared on the Internet, saying that Zhang Ziyi, Da Ai Si, Liu Yifei and other first-line female stars will participate in the competition for the film's heroine.

The news on the Internet is naturally true and false.

Chen Dong didn't know if Zhang Ziyi and Da Aisi were the ones who created the situation themselves.

But he knows that Liu Yifei has been favored by the media.

Miss Liu happened to be returning to China and happened to run into this matter.

This gives them room to play and imagine.

However, Miss Liu is usually a Buddhist, and she doesn't respond much to the attention she gets, as long as it doesn't damage her reputation.

As a result, Hongxingwu really received an invitation from director Li Eu to be the leading actress in a movie.

As an actress with dreams and pursuits, Ms. Liu naturally wants to star in literary films directed by great directors.

But not colored ones.

……

"Director Li, Liu Yifei rejected us."

Li Yu's manager assistant put down the phone and turned back to him.

"Oh?" Li Yu was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he asked, "What's the reason?"

"It's a scheduling conflict."

"That's a pity. If this girl plays Wang Jiazhi, she would actually be quite suitable."

Just at this time, director Li Yu's partner Jiang Zhiqiang walked in. He also heard his friend's sigh and smiled: "Old Li, do you want Liu Yifei to play Wang Jiazhi?"

Li Yu heard the ridicule in his old friend's tone and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Is there anything special about it?"

"I heard that she is Chen Dong's girlfriend."

"Director Chen Dong?"

"Yes."

Li Yu sighed softly, shook his head and said, "I still want to try again, but in this case, forget it."

"A wise move." Jiang Zhiqiang added, "By the way, I have a candidate here. Lao Li, you can decide whether he is suitable."

"Who?"

"Shuqi."

"Shuqi?" Li Yu considered it for a moment, then searched for the other party's photo on the computer in front of him and looked at it again and again, sometimes nodding and sometimes shaking his head.

"How is it?" Seeing Li Yu's delay in responding, Jiang Zhiqiang asked again.

"It's possible, but I always feel it's a little bit uninteresting."

"After all, what you're looking at is just a photo. Why don't you let me try it on myself?"

"also."

But then, Li Eu added: "Let's hold an open audition. I don't want to be rejected again."

Jiang Zhiqiang said with a smile: "In fact, there are only a few stars in the entertainment industry who can reject Lao Li."

On the same day, Li Yu accepted a media interview. During the interview, he couldn't hold back and told the story about the rejection of Liu Yifei's invitation.

After this incident was reported online, it quickly became a front-page headline. It also immediately dispelled the previous rumors that Liu Yifei returned to China for a movie role.

At the same time, it also makes other female stars who are eyeing movie roles complicated.

Especially Zhang Ziyi, who is a big flower, and Aisi, who is a curvy person.

"Oh, having a great director as your boyfriend is so willful!"

Zhang Ziyi sighed and looked down at her boyfriend Mr. Huo, whom she had not contacted for a month. She hesitated for a long time, edited a breakup text and sent it.

Recently, a wealthy American businessman was pursuing her.

Although the other party is a bit older, what Zhang Ziyi cares more about is the Hollywood resources in the hands of the wealthy businessman.

……

Although director Li Eu has announced to the public that the actors of "Lust, Caution" will be publicly cast.

But Shuqi, whom Jiang Zhiqiang suggested, still enjoys a certain specialness, that is, her agent received an audition call.

The agent relayed the news to Shuqi, but Shuqi refused without even thinking about it. "Why?"

"I said, I want to put on the clothes I took off piece by piece. I don't want to act in this kind of film again."

"How can you compare a literary film directed by Li Yu with a Category III film?"

"It's not a comparison, but it doesn't mean I have to take off my clothes."

"But it can help you win awards."

"I won't act in movies where you have to take off your clothes."

"Oh, okay, I hope you won't regret it in the future."

……

"What? Shuqi also rejected it?"

Li Yu began to doubt his own caliber as an international director.

No, it’s okay if Liu Yifei refuses. After all, she has the support of a young director behind her.

But why would you refuse if you are famous for making Category III films?

"What reason?"

The manager's assistant replied: "It's because the artist doesn't want to do any more explicit scenes."

Li Yu felt very ridiculous after hearing this.

And ridiculous.

This is not only a framed paper, but also a chastity memorial arch for myself.

"Forget it, let's put our hope in the open casting. I still don't believe it. All of these female stars are 'chaste and fierce women'."

……

Although the casting controversy for "Lust, Caution" swept the entire entertainment industry, this wind did not blow into Chen Dong's Dongcheng Pictures.

Currently, there are three contracted artists under Dongcheng Pictures, namely Yang Mi, Zhang Songwen, and Tang Yan.

"Eight Formations of Gods and Ghosts" just started filming last month. Yang Mi has joined the cast as the heroine. Zhang Songwen was sent to Tang Dynasty's "Seven Generals of the Yang Family" by Zhong Lifang. Only Tang Yan was preparing for the thesis defense. She hasn't been given any drama appointments yet.

Chen Dong also had three days to defend his thesis. He said to Zhong Lifang: "Coordinate with Yang Mi's schedule. After my defense is over, I will take her to "Inception" to have a look. This was last year's movie. She was promised at the company’s annual meeting.”

"No problem, how long will it take?"

"At least four or five days, mainly because of the delay in the round trip."

Zhong Lifang said okay, but when Chen Dong turned around and left, she suddenly thought of something and added: "Director Chen, would you like to take Tang Yan with you?"

"Does she have time?" Chen Dong did not refuse. After all, he was just a passerby.

"Let me ask……"

"Row."

Three days flew by.

Chen Dong walked into the Nortel campus again, feeling as if a long time had passed.

Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind.

"Hey, the great director is willing to go back to school."

Chen Dong turned around and saw Teacher Huang Lei. He said hello and walked side by side towards the teaching building with him.

"I heard that Teacher Huang and my sister-in-law have rehearsed a play... When are you going to perform it?"

"Hey, Chen Dong, you are quite knowledgeable about this information. Where did you hear it?"

"Of course I have my own channels."

"Haha, I guess it was He Jiong who told you?"

"Yes, it's the same as the last time I went to Kuaiben to promote a movie."

"I guessed it was him." Huang Lei looked as witty as me and continued with a smile: "The play is called "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring". If Chen Dong is free during the performance, you can come and see it."

"Okay, but Teacher Huang, please remember to give students some tickets in advance, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed if I can't buy them then."

"Haha, you kid... OK, how many do you want? I will reserve them for you in advance."

Chatting with Huang Lei, the two of them soon walked into the teaching building.

One had to go to class and the other had to defend, so naturally they parted ways.
