Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 98 The Battle between Young Actresses (Subscription Request)

You know, since The Legend of Sword and Fairy III in 09, Yang Mi has been the one with the most successful career development among the beauties in The Legend of Sword and Fairy III.

Whether it is the resources for TV series or movies, they are ahead of the other two.

It is hard to imagine that Yang Mi at this stage will serve as a partner for other small flowers.

Normally, the female stars of the previous generation such as Zhao Yanzi, Zhou Gongzi, and Lin Ziwei are the ones who can get Yang Mi to play supporting roles.

Among people of the same age, Yang Mi probably has never lowered her status for anyone.

In response to Zhou Mo's question, Liu Shishi said that it was no big deal.

"Don't worry, she will come."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Mo was curious.

"Didn't you watch the news?"

Liu Shishi turned on the computer, typed on the keyboard, and after finding the message, she showed it to Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo glanced at the screen.

A line of big characters caught my eye.

"Producer Chen Hong angrily criticized Yang Mi for being unprofessional and said in an interview that she would never work with her again."

Zhou Mo suddenly realized.

So that’s what happened.

Last month, Chen Kaige's new movie "Search" began filming.

The producer of Brother Kaizi's plays is of course his wife Chen Hong.

At that time, Chen Hong was attracted by Yang Mi's fame and invited her to play the third female role Yang Jiaqi in the movie.

Later, because of her busy schedule, Yang Mi made the entire crew wait for her during filming. This offended Chen Hong, who expelled Yang Mi from the crew and threatened to ban her.

In her previous life, a few years after this incident happened, it had a great impact on Yang Mi.

This indirectly caused her to be rejected by the Beijing circle, which was at its peak at the time, and her film resources were greatly damaged.

As a result, some TV drama collaborations were also affected.

Zhou Mo took a closer look at the article and discovered that Yang Mi's loss in this life was obviously more serious.

Chen Hong’s ban not only caused her to directly lose a circle of film resources, but even some of her already signed contracts were affected.

The article said that some brands have begun looking for new spokespersons.

The reason is that Yang Mi did not maintain her image as an artist well.

Zhou Mo thought for a moment and guessed that it was probably because of his influence in this life that "Palace" had not yet been broadcast, resulting in Yang Mi's traffic not reaching its peak and her commercial value not being strong enough.

Therefore, some brands did not maintain them immediately, but started looking for substitutes.

Liu Shishi waited for Zhou Mo to finish reading and said, "Do you know why I am so sure that Yang Mi will agree to your request? She must be panicking right now. If a big director like you gives her a hand, let alone a supporting role, even her body can be pledged to you."

Faced with Liu Shishi's fierce words, Zhou Mo did not show any emotional change at all.

He always had a businesslike expression.

"So, Yang Mi might really come to play in "The Qi Family Knife"?"

"Not really possible, but 100 percent."

Liu Shishi's words were full of confidence.

"How to say?"

"Zhou Mo, you don't know how powerful you are in the eyes of us female stars. After filming "New World", those guys, especially Yang Mi, were almost jealous of me. They would make sarcastic remarks in their fan groups every now and then.

Although you didn't shoot "Qi Jia Dao" right now, you wrote the script. Once the news of Tang Yan and I participating in the film is released, Yang Mi will definitely find a way to contact you. After all, we have to promote "Chinese Paladin III" in the direction of reuniting. If she, the heroine, is missing, she will actually be more anxious than us."

This analysis is not wrong.

But what Zhou Mo was more concerned about was actually something else.

"Shi Shi, how do you know what Yang Mi said in the fan group?"

"What's so strange about this? Of course I saw it directly."

Seeing that Zhou Mo was still confused, Liu Shishi suddenly realized: "Oh, you are asking me why I can see the messages in her group, right? It's very simple, because my agent has a small account in Yang Mi's fan group."

Zhou Mo was a little confused: "Then Yang Mi will openly complain about you in the fan group? Isn't she afraid that the news will be leaked?" "Of course not, do you think Yang Mi is a fool?" Liu Shishi complained: "She spoke in the group, and she naturally used a small account."

Zhou Mo was even more puzzled.

"How do you know that's her trumpet?"

"Nonsense, I can tell her speaking habits at a glance."

"Has your competition become so fierce?" Zhou Mo felt a chill on his back.

Seeing Zhou Mo's shocked expression, Liu Shishi said, "Don't be so surprised. This is actually very common among our female celebrities. Yang Mi must also have an account in my fan group, but I don't know which one it is."

hiss……

Zhou Mo took a deep breath. So this is the intrigue between young actresses?

I've learned something new.

Now there were only Zhou Mo and Liu Shishi in the room. She changed to a more comfortable position, stretched her feet on Zhou Mo's legs, and asked: "I have explained the problem with Yang Mi to you clearly. What about you? Do you agree with her to play the role?"

Zhou Mo played with the ice cream in his hand.

Without even looking up, he said, "Why would I disagree with that? I totally agree. The combination of the three of you can really boost the box office."

Liu Shishi+Tang Yan+Yang Mi.

No matter how good their acting skills are, this lineup is at least very popular.

If it is also accompanied by the publicity content of "three women fighting each other".

Even if the audience is not optimistic about them, they will probably buy a ticket just to watch the three women fighting.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mo suddenly felt that "The Swordsman of the Qi Family" had a good chance of reaching 400 million at the box office.

"That's good."

Liu Shishi felt the slightly itchy touch on the back of her feet, her face flushed as she said, "Then leave the matter of contacting Yang Mi to me."

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows: "Why, do you want to show off in front of the sisters?"

"Hehe, just tell me whether you will give in or not."

"Let me, why not?"

Zhou Mo wished someone could help him with his work for free.

If Liu Shishi contacted Yang Mi in advance, maybe the two of them could have a fight first, so when it comes to filming the movie in the future, there wouldn't even be any need for planning.

Looking at the energetic Liu Shishi, Zhou Mo had some insights in his heart.

No wonder they say competition is the best way to lower prices.

It seems I can do it more often in the future.

Seeing that Zhou Mo agreed, Liu Shishi did not hesitate and immediately put on her socks and prepared to contact Yang Mi.

……

"A martial arts movie, the third female lead..."

Yang Mi hung up the phone, muttering the news she had just heard from Liu Shishi.

But the tone was quite gnashing of teeth.

"Mi Mi, I advise you to take this role. Considering your current situation, taking this role will only benefit you and not harm you."

Seeing Yang Mi's gloomy face, agent Zeng Jia tried to persuade her earnestly.

Ever since she was kicked out of the crew by Chen Hong, she has clearly felt that the popularity of her own artists has dropped a lot.

Many of my former friends have reduced the frequency of contact.

Yang Mi is no longer invited to some events.

Even the leading female role in the movie "The Secret of Heaven and Earth", which had been verbally agreed upon before, was said to have been chosen by another candidate when contacted again.

Zeng Jia didn’t know that “The Secret Code” was a completely bad movie.

At this moment, she was still sad that Yang Mi didn't get to play the leading female role in the movie.

"Don't worry, Sister Jia. I know that given my current situation, being able to work with Shanhe Company to make a movie is one of the few opportunities I have to redeem my status. I will definitely take over "The Qi Family Blade"."
