At the Peninsula Hotel, Han Tangbao was in the banquet hall to reward all the members of "Painted Skin". Gao Yuanyuan was all smiles and generously distributed red envelopes, looking like a high-roller.
The three leading actors, Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, and Zeng Li, each received a big red envelope of 88888, which means that the meaning will be distributed all the way! As a director, Wang Jing also received a large gift package of 66,666 yuan. As for others, the gifts were equally generous, tens of thousands, and countless others.
"Thank you, Sister Yuanyuan!"
Yang Mi was wearing a pink dress. When she bent down and nodded, her two ponytails swayed. She touched her bulging wallet, feeling particularly happy.
The moment he looked up, he noticed a sudden commotion at the door, and saw Wang Zhongjun bringing Huayi's all-star cast to support him, including Feng Pants, Fan Erbing, Li Shuangbing, Huang Xiaoming, and the starring cast of "The Night Banquet" led by Ge You and Zhang Ziyi... …
Under the flashlight of the media, the stars are shining brightly.
"Mr. Gao, congratulations!"
Wang Zhongjun clasped his hands in a polite manner, not daring to shake hands as usual, "Painted Skin" was such a hit, it really made our mainland counterparts look proud, feel proud, really proud!"
"Oh, that's not true."
Feng Pants grinned, showing yellow teeth, and was extremely flattering: "With the box office of 200 million, there have been so many movies in Hong Kong over the years, but none of them can do it. We don't have the ability! Hehehehe, only Mr. Zhong, Mr. Gao, and Lu Always high and hard!"
"thanks, thanks."
Gao Yuanyuan has a smile as bright as a flower. As a producer, she not only made money but also earned her reputation. She also left a mark in the history of Chinese films——
Gao Zong of the Han and Tang dynasties, the godmother of domestic entertainment, how pleasant it sounds!
Moreover, up to now, the box office of Wanwan is 21.93 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office of Xiangjiang is 10.14 million Hong Kong dollars. In the mainland alone, the box office of 232 million has been paid back. It will be profitable in the next 14 days, and may even break the mainland box office record held by "Hero".
Only 190 million is missing!
Looking at the 230 million ice sculpture placed in the center of the stage, Zhang Ziyi's eyes were full of envy. She turned to look at Zeng Li who was surrounded by them, and immediately put on a bright smile and moved closer.
"Ah, Zeng Damei!"
"Ziyi?!"
Zeng Li saw Jin Hua, who was in the same class, and stretched out her hands to hold her. While looking at her, she said happily: "Why are you here?"
Zhang Ziyi pretended to be angry, "What are you talking about? We are old classmates. "Painted Skin" is so successful, why don't we come and congratulate it!"
In the industry right now, our 96th class is the most prestigious, with Xiao Lu being the Golden Horse Best Actress, Liu Ye being the Golden Horse Best Actor, Yuan Quan and Hu Jing..."
At the end of the sentence, there was quite a sense of pride in my tone that "I am entertaining heroes and heroines today, but the beauty is with my ears."
"How can I compare with you."
Zeng Li smiled and said, "Not to mention "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero", your "Memoirs of a Geisha" was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress this time. Not to mention Hollywood, it is not even in the three major international film festivals. Been there once."
"It's just a nomination, a nomination."
Zhang Ziyi raised her chin, her whole body became light and airy, and the momentary jealousy towards Zeng Li disappeared in her heart. After all, no matter how popular she was, she only did domestic entertainment, but now she was an international Zhang'!
No, I'm just pretending.
Qin Hailu couldn't stand the pretentious look and rolled his eyes angrily, "Hey, why don't you develop your career in Hollywood? What are you going to do when you return to China?"...
Zhang Ziyi's face froze and she felt angry, but thinking of the relationship between the two people in front of her and Lu Fei, she could only force a smile:
"I want to, but Hollywood doesn't give me this opportunity. To be precise, it doesn't give Asian actors a chance. The roles they give are very superficial, with some inner drama or deep supporting roles. They would rather give it to Nico than to us. "Memoirs of a Geisha" is already the best resource. You must know that in Hollywood, there are not very few films starring Asians, but almost none..."
"You are so awesome."
Zeng Li and Qin Hailu spoke in unison, but one had a sincere tone and the other had a sinister tone. It was so outrageous for an American director and a Chinese actor to make a story about a neon girl.
"Later, I picked out the script for a long time, and I really felt that Hollywood wasn't worth my efforts, so I might as well return to China."
Zhang Ziyi looked distressed, "It happened that Director Feng asked me to be the first female lead in "The Night Banquet". The second female lead was Zhou Xun. The opposite role was great. I thought about it for a few days before I accepted."
"Oh, it's not like Hollywood doesn't have suitable scripts, and it also has talented people. Zeng Damei..."
Qin Hailu looked at the complacency that could not be concealed on her face, curled his lips, and anyone could hear the Versailles in her words.
In the weekly news of "Painted Skin" and the dual heroine Zeng Li, I can only be the voice actor! Sister is the queen, shine with confidence!
"Sea route~"
Zeng Li pushed Qin Hailu gently, and just as he was about to cast a spell to interrupt, violent noise broke out in the lobby again.
"Li An, it's actually Li An!"
"Why is he here? Didn't he say that the circles in Hong Kong and Taiwan are saying that no one is allowed to attend the celebration banquet?"
"Tsk, who are they? Who is Li An? He is the Oscar-winning director, and he doesn't even bother to join forces. On the contrary, the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles want to join forces. Director Li's films are all international blockbusters."
"..."
The celebrity producers around him whispered, Zhang Ziyi's eyes lit up, she held the red wine and said with a smile: "Zeng Damei, Hailu, Director Li, this is your first time meeting him, right? Come on, I'll take you to meet him. I don't know for sure in the future." There are opportunities for cooperation.”
Zeng Li and Qin Hailu couldn't resist the warm welcome, so they had to follow Zhang Ziyi and head towards Li An who was looking around.
"Director Li!"
Zhang Ziyi was restrained with a hint of flattery.
"Oh, Ziyi."
Li An smiled like a bitter gourd and moved his eyes away from her face. When he saw Zeng Li, his eyes immediately froze and he opened his mouth:
"It's suitable, it's really suitable for Wang Jiazhi..."
"Director Li?"
Zeng Li frowned in surprise.
"Ms. Zeng, I wonder if you are interested in auditioning for my new film?" Li An took the initiative to extend the film invitation.
What!
Zhang Ziyi was startled, her head buzzing.
You must know that being able to play the heroine for Li An is a great temptation for any actress. Didn't she successfully knock on the door of Hollywood with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?
Why her, not me!
"'Lust, Caution'?"
Zeng Li keenly noticed Zhang Ziyi's embarrassed expression. She was interested but embarrassed to open her mouth, and couldn't help but be in a dilemma.
Fortunately, Qin Hailu took a picture of her and reminded her: "Let's talk about the drama appointment later. Zeng Damei, it's time for you to knock the ice sculpture!"...
"Yeah."
Zeng Li took the opportunity to leave, but little did she know that Zhang Ziyi was staring at her back with resentment in his eyes.
In "My Father and Mother", I was her alternative, and now in "Lust, Caution", I am her alternative again?
As the resentment continued to rise, there was only the sound of banging ice.
After Gao Yuanyuan finished smashing the ice sculpture, she held the microphone in one hand and hooked Zeng Li's shoulder with the other. She felt very CP and said:
"At this festive time, I have something to announce!"
In an instant, all the eyes of the audience were directed towards the stage.
Zhang Ziyi raised her neck and drank the wine in one gulp. At this moment, she suddenly heard Gao Yuanyuan say:
"Our Zeng Li from the Han and Tang Dynasties has received a trial notice for a Hollywood A-level movie! It is a Marvel superhero movie with a total investment of over 150 million US dollars, "Iron Man"!
Moreover, the audition was for the female lead! "
"ah!"
At this moment, actresses such as Fan Erbing and Li Shuangbing couldn't help but scream, feeling sad, jealous, or envious.
Various emotions were intertwined and rushed into Zhang Ziyi's heart. She trembled and trembled all over.
Oh, jealousy transformed her beyond recognition!
Why did good luck belong to Zeng Li a long time ago?
…………
"Shocked! Zeng Li brings "Painted Skin"
"With the power of ", she has made a strong landing in Hollywood, and she may star in Marvel's superheroine. "
"After Zhang Ziyi, Zeng Li became the second mainland actress to venture into Hollywood. Is she the next international actress?"
"..."
As soon as the news of Zeng Li's impact on Hollywood came out, the already declining popularity of "Painted Skin" increased again, and the box office dropped by 50%. It continued to decline for the next three days, and the momentum increased again.
But in the road show promotion, Zeng Li was nowhere to be seen. She had already arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on a flight amidst the envy and jealousy of her peers.
"Is this your Oriental pepper?"
Ivanka looked at the beautiful figure coming down the boarding stairs, and subconsciously straightened her chest, so that the graceful curves outlined by the dark green top were fully displayed, "For her, you postponed the meeting with Apple's CEO. It's worth it. ?
"Of course it's worth it."
Lu Fei looked straight and smiled, "But if you think that I refuse to meet with Cook just for this reason, then it means that your IQ is only qualified to be my life secretary."
Ivanka pondered for a moment, remembering her father's business negotiations, her eyes flickered: "Are you dragging Cook on purpose?"
"Think more."
Lu Fei pointed his finger at his head, "Before that, daddy can only tell you to think more."
Then without answering, he walked straight forward, taking into account the presence of Chang Jihong, Ivanka and others, and restrainedly opened his arms, "Senior, are you happy or surprised?"
Happy, I'm talking about "Painted Skin".
Surprise, naturally I am talking about "Iron Man".
"You, you can always give me some new tricks!"
Zeng Li's eyes were gleaming, and her long-lasting lovesickness made her, a Buddhist, unable to care about her reserve, and took the initiative to hold his hand and get into the car.
"Heh, man."
Ivanka looked at the two of them in the first car with resentment, bit her lip with her teeth, and got into the second car with a cold face.
"Well, well..."….
Along with the sound of kissing, there was a burst of thunder and fire in the car.
After a long time, Zeng Li reluctantly parted her lips. Under the sun, a crystal clear water thread hung on Lu Fei's body.
He buried his head in her hair, smelled the fragrance, acted recklessly with his hands, and said seriously, "It should be no problem to win the Best Actress of the Hundred Flowers Award for "Painted Skin". Congratulations, senior sister, if you become the Best Actress of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards La! This is the first time I got it!
Once "Iron Man" becomes a success, the four major actresses and the eight major actresses will be flat in China's entertainment industry and stand out! "
"No matter how you show off, this flower will still be in your hand."
Zeng Li's whole body was limp in his arms, with her breasts ridged and her lower body forming a stream. Her eyes were blurred and she said, "Yes, yes, Ah Fei, Director Li An also asked me to audition. Do you think I should accept it?"
"Li An?" Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, "What are you taking pictures of?"
"It seems to be called "Lust, Caution"," Zeng Li said.
"What! Li An asked you to take this photo?"
Lu Fei smacked his lips, was it intentional or accidental?
Zeng Li noticed that he was unusually unhappy and blurted out "Then I'll push him away." She didn't hesitate at all but was just curious about why Lu Fei was so angry.
"Li An mentioned this book to me."
Lu Fei said quietly: "When I get home, I will personally demonstrate to my senior sister how to perform this "Lust, Caution"."
………
The next day, time flies like an arrow, and the sun rises three poles high.
"I'm sorry, Director Li."
Zeng Li called and said, "We will work together next time if we have a chance."
"Refused?"
Lu Fei was lying on the bedside, smoking slowly.
Zeng Li hummed, "He said that if you really can't find anyone, just use Ziyi. She is the last option."
"Haha, I'm afraid she doesn't have the guts to act."
Lu Fei smiled.
"A Fei, are you really demonstrating like this?"
Zeng Li dug out her eyes in shame, as if she was angry
Seemingly angry, he said: "Why do I feel that I was deceived by you? Isn't it humiliating to shoot "Lust, Caution" like this? What actress dares to act in it? Can she still get married?"
"This is what Li An told me."
Lu Fei thought about all the weird knowledge last night. Thanks to Zeng Li's long-term yoga, he was so gentle. "If you don't believe me, senior, wait until the film is completed and we will find an opportunity to study it in depth."
Zeng Li secretly spat, "There are still 2 hours, it's getting late, I'm going to audition."
"Don't worry, I'll take you to the audition."
"No, aren't you very busy? Just send a few people to take us there."
"It's okay, I've arranged everything."
Lu Fei put out his cigarette and got out of bed. After doing some simple washing and grooming, he held Zeng Li's hand and walked in and out, inseparable.
Soon, I came to Hantang's branch in North America.
The audition took place in a small conference room. Ivanka, James Wan, the casting director and others all gathered for a collective assessment.
"Can you give me one chance! Just once!"
In the closed room, there was a faint sound of pleading.
"Sori, you should know why we disagree."
There was disdain in Ivanka's tone of voice that she could not refuse. It was obvious that she directly rejected Sanlian before the audition even started.
"Dong dong dong~"….
Lu Fei knocked on the door and called out Wen Ziren. He asked Zeng Li to audition one-on-one alone, and they looked at each other to confirm——
Just going through the motions!
"You're already here, why don't you take the exam instead of Wen?"
Ivanka sat in James Wan's seat and gave up the seat of the main judge.
Lu Fei thought that he had nothing to do, and nodded. He inadvertently glanced at the rejected actor with his peripheral vision, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.
Hey, isn’t this Robert Downey Jr.!
"Wait a minute, just wait."
"I?"
When Robert Downey Jr. saw Lu Fei, it was like seeing the last straw, his eyes full of expectation.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Ivanka touched him with her arm and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Do you know who he is? Hollywood is a famous nymphomaniac! Xidu, gambling, recruiting girls, in addition to acting, He is proficient in everything, and no one dares to ask him to make a movie, even though he comes from a film family."
"Look, I'm here already, so I'll be a judge, and he's already here too, so why not give him a chance to audition?"
Lu Fei deliberately raised his voice so that Robert Downey Jr. could hear clearly, giving him the last glimmer of hope.
Ivanka took a breath: "If you think it's good, do you still want him to be Iron Man?"
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Lu Fei said.
"Lu, you are crazy!"
Ivanka was stunned, "Do you know the consequences of hiring him? It won't do any good to the film. Maybe the only thing that can be said is that it can reduce the salary, because no one will ask him to film anymore. Do you understand the risk? !」
"Don't you think the risk of filming "Iron Man" is the greatest? This IP is not as popular as Spider-Man and Batman. Compared with it, the risk of letting him try out is almost negligible."
"Don't even think about it! I would rather let Nicolas Cage, the king of bad movies, play Iron Man than let him touch this role!"
A fierce quarrel broke out between Lu Fei and Ivanka. One argued hard, and the other was extremely disgusted. Robert Downey Jr. looked left and right and regarded Lu Fei as his final savior.
"Alright alright."
Lu Fei shrugged, "I'll go talk to him."
After speaking, he came to Robert Downey Jr., "Sauri, although I am her boss, she is my 'Little Pepper,' and you have to listen to her for this project. She said that you have been imprisoned for drug abuse three times." , has a lot of bad pasts, and also has a very bad reputation in Hollywood, which is very detrimental to the box office."
"I know I know."
The corners of Robert Downey Jr.'s mouth twitched, as if he was crying.
Lu Fei said straightforwardly: "Although a big factor is that your father has been a bad example for you, but think about it, if "Iron Man" is successful, you will become a role model for teenagers around the world because of Iron Man. Maybe because of your These experiences will destroy the image we have created of Iron Man."
"I understand, sorry for wasting your time."
Robert Downey Jr. smiled bitterly, then stood up, his head drooped, his whole waist bent, and he stood up and left in despair.
Ivanka didn't even look at him, but when he was about to walk out of the door, Lu Fei seemed to do it on purpose, his acting skills instantly exploded, and he shouted: ....
"Hey, Donnie!"
Robert Downey Jr. turned his head, confusion written on his face.
Lu Fei smiled and said, "Do you want to be a new person?"
"Sauri, sir, what did you say?"
Robert Downey Jr. was startled.
"I can give you a chance to audition."
Lu Fei raised his hand to hint Ivanka not to speak.
"Really, sir?"
Robert Downey Jr. suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Fei again, feeling that his whole body was exuding a divine light.
Oh, God!
"Do you know why I am willing to give you this opportunity?"
Lu Fei took the initiative to walk over and put his arms around the dazed man, his tone full of kindness.
Robert Downey Jr.'s brain shut down and he shook his head in confusion.
"Because I was like you in the past. Like Tony Spike, I had a depraved past. Although I didn't smoke dupe, I smoked, drank, permed my hair, and fought. But look at me now."
Lu Fei patted him on the shoulder, "That's why I like the IP of Iron Man, because the transformation from Tony Spike to Iron Man is a heroic story of a prodigal son turning back and becoming a new person."
"Yes, sir! Yes!"
Robert Downey Jr. was so excited that he suppressed his trembling voice, "When I saw the script and prepared it carefully, I saw the depraved side of myself from Tony Spike, and I also saw that you are so successful in reality, you are Steel The prototype of the hero!
You are Iron Man! "
Nice shot of the rainbow fart...
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth turned up slightly, "Haha, yes, I am part of the prototype of Iron Man, and you just want to try to play me. I am very willing to give you a chance to play me. Can you do it, Downey? ?」
"Yes, yes, sir..."
Robert Downey Jr.'s eyes widened, an unprecedented trust and respect filled his heart, and a tear burst out of his eyes.
