Film producers generally don't hire popular niche actors like Zhang Yuanjun to star in artistic films.
Because even if this type of actor takes on a literary film, the pay is relatively high and the price/performance ratio is too low.
But Yu Feihong did it.
She managed to get the most popular young boy to accompany her all the way to the mountains of Yunnan Province to fulfill her ten-year dream.
Of course there is some favor involved.
However, Huayi still had similar thoughts. If Zhou Xun and Zhang Yuanjun were put together in a movie, the response would definitely be good!
And Wang Zhonglei also believes that the cooperative relationship between Huayi and Zhang Yuanjun is pretty good.
So Cheng Guofu came with "Li Mi's Experience".
Cheng Guofu is the producer of "Li Mi's Experience", and the film's director is Professor Cao Baoping of the Directing Department of the Film School - this is also one of the reasons why Huayi Association came to Zhang Yuanjun to talk about the teacher-student relationship.
Although Zhang Yuanjun majored in acting.
Then Yu Feihong has stopped teaching at the film school a long time ago. Isn’t Zhang Yuanjun still calling him Teacher Yu?
It didn't matter, they kissed while walking.
Cheng Guofu told Zhang Yuanjun about "Li Mi's Experience": "We are short of a leading actor, the boyfriend Zhou Xun is looking for. I think you are very suitable."
Zhang Yuanjun likes Zhou Xun very much and really wants to act opposite Zhou Xun. He wants to see what kind of spirit this human elf is on the spot. He wants to stand in front of Zhou Xun and act with him to truly feel her. Acting.
But Zhang Yuanjun received a look from his assistant Xiao Zhao, which clearly told him "don't agree."
Zhang Yuanjun first went through the schedules and activities he had determined so far this year in his mind, and then asked Cheng Guofu: "When will the movie start shooting?"
"In May, it's also in Yunnan Province, right in Spring City." As if he knew what Zhang Yuanjun was going to say, Cheng Guofu stopped him and said, "We can wait until you come back from Cannes before filming your scene."
Cheng Guofu didn't see Xiao Zhao's relaxed expression beside him, but Zhang Yuanjun smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid it won't work in May. I looked at the shooting plan of "Love Has an Afterlife" and I can't finish it in May."
"Why did it take so long to shoot?" According to Cheng Guofu's estimation, Yu Feihong's film will be shot in three months at most, and it will be completed by the end of May.
Zhang Yuanjun briefly told Cheng Guofu some of the difficulties encountered by the crew: "It has been almost a month since we started shooting, and we haven't shot many usable scenes. Moreover, even if I can finish filming in May, our theater still has work, and I have to schedule this year I just can’t leave this version of "Camel Xiangzi". Sorry."
But Cheng Guofu still wanted to fight for it, but Zhang Yuanjun said: ""Love Has Afterlife" will definitely not be completed in May. I also want to cooperate with Zhou Xun, but I really can't adjust the schedule later. I'm really sorry, there will be more later There’s an opportunity for us to work together again.”
After rejecting "Li Mi", Zhang Yuanjun took his assistant back to the crew hotel.
"What a pity." Xiao Zhao sighed in the car, "It would be great to be able to cooperate with Zhou Xun once."
"There's a chance." Zhang Yuanjun thought broadly.
The two returned to the hotel and rested separately.
The crew of "Love Has an Afterlife" encountered various difficulties. Considering that the daily journey back and forth was too long, the crew specially made a small road to save time, but within two weeks it was washed away due to heavy rain.
Zhang Yuanjun kept patting and patting on the set.
But Liu Yifei was overjoyed in the capital.
She became a regular in "City of the Blind". It turned out that she was just the B role of the heroine Linda. Now the crew has switched her role and let her officially play the second female lead, Natalia, a woman wearing sunglasses.
Together with Xiao Ding Bao from "Tea House", she can play two important roles on the drama stage this year, which is a very good start for newcomers.
What makes her even happier is that she was shortlisted for the female lead role in "The King of Kung Fu" and she was a big hit!
According to Huayi news, "The King of Kung Fu" has two heroines, one is Golden Swallow and the other is White-haired Witch.
Currently, Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Fan Wenfang, Lin Xinru, and Liu Yifei are all under Huayi's consideration.
Liu Yifei is generally considered to have the highest probability of playing the role of Golden Swallow.
Because Fan Bingbing's contract with Huayi expired and was not renewed, he chose to go it alone. Huayi needs Liu Yifei to join to fill Fan Bingbing's vacancy.
Thanks to Huayi's public opinion momentum, "The King of Kung Fu" became Huayi's signing gift to Liu Yifei.
"Don't listen to their nonsense," Zhang Yuanjun told Liu Yifei, "Huayi can only make casting suggestions, they can't make the final decision.
"Their idea is to use public opinion to tie you up first, and then force you to sign. If you don't sign, they will say you are ungrateful. By then you will have ten thousand mouths in your body and you will not be able to explain it clearly, because you really filmed " King of Kung Fu"."
Zhang Yuanjun gave her an idea, "If you don't want to sign the contract, skip Huayi and contact Relativity and Rob Minkoff directly."
"Wouldn't this be good?" Liu Yifei was a little frightened.
"There's nothing wrong with this." Zhang Yuanjun didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "Huayi just got it right. You don't know what's going on here, and it's using the banner of Hollywood to fool you. Do you think Zhang Ziyi is talking to him?"
"But "The King of Kung Fu" is indeed a lot of people are grabbing it."
"The King of Kung Fu is certainly a good resource and worth grabbing." No one can deny that "The King of Kung Fu" is the biggest piece of cake in the domestic film and television industry in recent years. "But don't let them fool you. You If you want to act, just talk to the producer directly and don't deal with Huayi. You two are no match for Huayi."
Apart from spending money to buy resources, his godfather was a complete layman when it came to public relations, and he was not expected to do anything for Liu Yifei.
"If you don't want to act, just go to the theater and rehearse plays."
"Of course I want to act."
"If you want to play the role, I will give you the contact information of my American agent, and I will ask him to take you to meet the producer of Relativity, and my sister-in-law. She knows many people on Wall Street, so making an introduction is not a problem." Zhang Yuanjun himself Neither of them realized that he was interfering with Liu Yifei's work and life.
But he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this, and Liu Yifei didn't think it was wrong at this time either.
"Okay, I'm here to catch up on the show, hang up first." Zhang Yuanjun hung up the phone.
Liu Yifei only realized after hanging up the phone:
"Why should I listen to him!"
"What is his relationship with me? Why should I use his connections!"
"Why is he so nice to me?"
"I owe him such a great favor. How can I repay him in the future? I can't afford it."
Liu Yifei was thinking wildly, and Liu Xiaoli said, "Sissi, will you go out later?"
"Ah, I'm going to rehearse the show later. Where are you going?"
"I'm going to meet a few people, and you can rehearse well. I'll make delicious food for you when you come back in the evening."
"Oh." Liu Yifei responded.
Liu's mother took the door and left. Zhang Yuanjun's assistant Xiao Zhao called Liu Yifei.
I called Liu Yifei and said it was the professional manager of Zhang Yuanjun's American studio named Eddie. He could take Liu Yifei to meet with the person in charge of Relativity and Casey Silver.
Finally, Xiao Zhao revealed a piece of news to Liu Yifei: "He has been writing Slim Gold Style for the past year."
"What do you mean?" Liu Yifei pretended to be dumbfounded.
"It's nothing, you just need to know that he cares about some things." Xiao Zhao smiled and hung up the phone.
