Chapter 541 The stars shine
Chen Hong ignored Xu Fan's teasing, but couldn't help but feel curious about why Xu Kun was looking for her and Lao Chen.
It stands to reason that Xu Kun is now at the peak of his career, while Old Chen has just suffered a defeat. The "Mei Lanfang" that he worked so hard to produce is unlikely to break 5000 million. At this time of decline and growth, Xu Kun should have no need to ask Old Chen for anything, right?
Jiang Wenli on the opposite side also pursed her lips and said nothing. From what Xu Fan said and Chen Hong's reaction, it was not difficult for her to guess that the affair between her and Xu Kun had already spread in the circle - at least in the core circle.
After all, she had passed the clear path, so Jiang Wenli didn't really care about it. She was more curious about the reactions of the two people in front of her, especially Chen Hong's reaction.
Although Chen Hong remained calm overall, her initial loss of composure was clearly imprinted in Jiang Wenli's eyes.
Could it be that she really does...
At this time, several women walked in from outside, two of them were Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing, who were "familiar" to everyone, but the two did not occupy the C position. The C position was occupied by Li Yu and a woman with an oval face.
After entering the room, Li Yu immediately cast his eyes towards Xu Kun, but seeing that she was chatting and laughing with Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei, he hesitated and did not take the initiative to move over, but walked aside with the oval-faced woman to whisper.
Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing looked at each other, politely apologized to the two of them, and came to say hello to the wives' group first.
Both of them had registered with the wives' group, so naturally they didn't get a good look. However, Chen Hong was a little curious about how Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing got together.
As far as she knew, Zhang Ziyi had always disapproved of the term "Four Dans" followed by "Double Bings", especially when it came to Fan Bingbing.
"Is such that."
Fan Bingbing smiled and said, "Director Li Yu acted as a matchmaker, and a script came to me and Sister Ziyi at the same time. Since the director wanted to talk to us in person, we just got together tonight."
It turns out that the woman with the oval face is also a director.
After resolving their doubts, the wives' attitudes became even more indifferent - not to mention that they had no interest in the works of new directors, even if they were interested, there was no need for them to have a deep conversation with two vixens.
Seeing this, Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing quickly retreated back to Li Yu.
At this time, Xu Kun also found time to find Li Yu - after all, she was the vice president of the Youth Directors Association recommended by him, so he must give her enough face in front of others.
Li Yu then introduced the woman around her to Xu Kun: Jin Yimeng, born in 76. She had been developing her career in the United States because she obtained her master's degree through work-study. In 04, the short film she shot won a college student award and was shortlisted for the Cannes Short Film Award.
She returned to China in 07 and was soon shortlisted for the 08 College Student Film Festival with her film "Swordfish" - and after these two relatively successful experiences, Jin Yimeng finally turned her attention to theatrical films.
"Bingbing and Ziyi are both very satisfied with the book. Xiaojin has also raised some investment himself. As for the remaining gap, I think our Youth Directors Association can definitely come forward to coordinate it."
Previously, Xu Kun wanted to find a suitable female director born after 75, but he couldn't find anyone suitable. Unexpectedly, Li Yu just picked one and persuaded Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing to work together.
It seems that people live in groups and animals are grouped according to their own kind.
However, Xu Kun secretly took stock of the projects currently related to the Youth Directors Association:
He took the initiative to hand it over to the Happy Twist team to create a rebirth script;
Han Jie, Jia Zhangke's favorite assistant director, is currently working on an art film in his hometown.
In the afternoon, Wu Jing took the initiative to recommend himself for an action movie.
Yang Qing’s “Crazy Supermarket” - Xu Kun talked to Yang Qing about the name of the movie last time, but Yang Qing, like Xu Kun, is bad at naming.
Finally, Xu Kun simply took Yang Qing to find Ning Hao and asked Ning Hao to be the producer of the drama, and also gave the drama the prefix of "Crazy Series".
Xu Kun has already seen the finished film "Crazy Racing". Ning Hao will definitely create another wave of popularity this time. When the audience sees the word "crazy", they will know that this must be a comedy movie.
Of course, before finding Ning Hao, Xu Kun first communicated with Yang Qing. After all, many young people with ideas do not want to have another mother-in-law above them.
Fortunately, Yang Qing is still a relatively practical person. This can be seen from the fact that he would rather reject Chengtian Entertainment and instead take the initiative to cling to Xu Kun's thighs.
Compared with the flaws of having multiple nominal mothers-in-law, he cares more about the box office boost that the word "crazy" can bring to the film.
On the other hand, Ning Hao also praised the script of "Nightclub", so the two sides hit it off immediately.
Let’s not talk about these for now.
All in all, there are five scripts. If you include the female director in front of me, that makes six, which is more than the number of presidents and vice presidents.
The Youth Directors Association hasn't even been officially established yet, so it's definitely not appropriate to expand its business so much all at once.
But Xu Kun hesitated for a moment, then smiled cheerfully and said, "Then please ask Director Jin to send a script to our Youth Directors Association, and we can discuss it in the meeting."
As the only female vice-president of the Youth Directors Association, and the one she recommends is a young female director, who can resist this double BUFF?
Even if other plans have to be postponed, Jin Yimeng's script must be given priority.
Speaking of the script, Xu Kun asked about the general content. When he learned that it was a youth romantic comedy, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Xu Kun had to pretend to treat all types of films equally because of Lao Jia, he would never allow the Youth Directors Association to become a branch of the Sixth Generation of Directors.
At this time, some big-name stars arrived one after another. Xu Kun took the opportunity to break away from Li Yu and Jin Yimeng and followed Feng Xiaogang to socialize.
During this period, Fan Bingbing's eyes were always on Xu Kun. When she was filming "Apple", she wanted to borrow Xu Kun's popularity. As a result, "Apple" was not released in mainland China because of its excessive scale.
Now that Xu Kun is becoming more and more popular, her covetousness has naturally increased.
But the problem is that after an in-depth communication, Fan Bingbing has determined that this man may be nostalgic, but he is definitely not someone who is easy to control.
When it comes to nostalgia, she has no advantage at all when facing the beautiful girls around Xu Kun.
How can I get closer to catching this man?
Just as Fan Bingbing was deep in thought, suddenly a gaze bounced back from Xu Kun.
Fan Bingbing subconsciously met her eyes and realized that it was Yuan Li who had arrived.
Although this woman has been on the decline recently, her voluptuous body wrapped in a tight cheongsam is still radiant, and her figure alone surpasses most of the female stars present.
hum~
A fat and stupid woman who gave up on herself!
Fan Bingbing snorted half with envy and half with contempt. In order to cooperate with the live broadcast of the Olympic Games, CCTV was the first to use the 16:9 widescreen ratio, and then this trend quickly spread to local TV stations.
Several satellite TV stations have announced that they will launch widescreen broadcasting reforms by the second half of next year at the latest.
This change has a huge impact on the entertainment industry, especially on the female celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Because on a 16:9 widescreen, everyone will appear more bloated than the traditional 4:3 standard, which puts more stringent requirements on the face and body shape of female stars. In order to cater to this change, all kinds of dieting and weight loss methods have been used by female stars, especially those over years old. After all, the older you get, the greater the price you have to pay to keep your figure.
This also leads to the fact that many female celebrities who had domineering figures when they were young not only did not have secondary development of their breasts when they reached middle age, but instead their breasts shrank step by step.
Fan Bingbing is currently also actively dieting to lose weight, so when he sees the plump Yuan Li, he both envies her for not having to torture herself and despises her for giving up on herself.
Just when Fan Bingbing was about to look away, Yuan Li suddenly raised her hand and made a slapping gesture in the air, then raised her chin provocatively.
This damn crazy woman, I will teach her a lesson sooner or later!
Fan Bingbing gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly. Although she immediately turned around and pretended to talk to Li Yu, this scene still caught the eyes of some people, such as Zhang Ziyi next to her.
"Bing Bing."
Zhang Ziyi smiled and said, "The way you greet each other is quite unique - you are all friends who have filmed together, why don't you go over and say hello."
Fan Bingbing glanced at her and said calmly, "Director Li is here. If anyone wants to say hello, it should be Yuan Li who takes the initiative to say hello."
"is it?"
Zhang Ziyi's smile did not diminish, and she also made a slapping gesture in the air: "This way of greeting is not appropriate when you are close to me, right?"
It has been confirmed once again that the four Dans and one Bing are all bitches!
Fan Bingbing was too lazy to argue with her and directly pulled Li Yu to the bathroom.
At the same time, Gan Wei and Huo Siyan also entered the venue arm in arm.
Xu Kun apologized to Yuan Li and Li Yixiang, then walked over and asked curiously, "Why did you come in so late?"
Those who came in during this period are basically second-tier stars, but Huo Siyan can now be considered a first-tier star.
"It's Gan Wei who wasted the time."
Huo Siyan half-jokingly said, "Before leaving, she wanted to tell Mr. Jia a hundred things. Others would pass by their homes three times without entering, but she would leave the house three times without leaving."
Gan Wei was happy to show off the affection between himself and Lao Jia, and said with a smile: "Isn't this going to be listed soon? Lao Jia has been so busy lately that he often doesn't even have time to eat. If I don't give him a few more words of advice, he will definitely ruin his health."
Then, she sighed again and said, "But I've been very busy lately, and I've been powerless most of the time. To be honest, I have to blame you, Director Xu, for most of this!"
Gan Wei has been very busy recently. First of all, LeTV is going to hold a Chinese-Korean New Year's Eve party. As the boss lady of LeTV and a gold medal variety show producer, she naturally became the general producer of the party.
Second, Gan Wei is indeed very interested in the sister group variety show that Xu Kun mentioned last time, and has been collecting information in this regard - fortunately, there are many Koreans participating in the New Year's Day Gala, and collecting information does not conflict with directing and promoting the gala.
The third is the director selection variety show proposed by Xu Kun. Although this has not been finalized yet, Gan Wei and LeTV attach great importance to it. They think that as long as it is done well, it is likely to greatly increase the popularity of LeTV in the future and at the same time raise LeTV's stock price.
The fourth thing is Xu Kun’s selection of a concubine… bah, it’s about “The Way of Heaven” selecting the heroine.
Gan Wei didn't have to worry about the initial screening, but in order to ensure fairness and justice, the re-examination after the new year was planned to be broadcast live on LeTV.
Naturally, we have to shoulder this piece of Gan Wei as well.
After all, most of these were Xu Kun's affairs or ideas. No wonder she complained about Xu Kun.
"He who can do it should work harder."
Xu Kun smiled and said, "If you want to be the woman behind Lao Jia, how can you not work hard?"
As he was speaking, Liu Xiaoli came towards him hesitantly, looking like she wanted to get closer but was a little afraid.
Gan Wei also saw it, so he gave Xu Kun a playful look and directly pulled Huo Siyan away.
The fact that Liu Yifei and Xu Kun were in touch was no secret within the Teddy Sisters. Those who had a grudge against Jiang Yiyan were now eager to make fun of her.
When Liu Xiaoli saw the two of them leave, she hurriedly took small steps towards Xu Kun, looked up and gave a flattering smile.
Seeing her cautious look, Xu Kun couldn't help but think of her arrogant look when she went to scout the location for the "Chinese Paladin" crew.
Life is really like this: 30 years in the east, 30 years in the west.
"Tell me what's going on."
Xu Kun's attitude was a little cold. The things Aunt Liu promised had not arrived in half a month. Although he knew that Aunt Liu dared not fool him and had no reason to fool him, Xu Kun still decided to put some pressure on her.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoli panicked. She didn't bother to beat around the bush and said anxiously, "Xixi has already made some progress, but for the movie "The Way of Heaven" that you are going to shoot next year, can you let Xixi participate in the audition?"
Xu Kun didn't expect that Liu Yifei actually set her eyes on the heroine of "The Way of Heaven".
But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, the mother and daughter had given so much, they must get something in return.
Moreover, letting Liu Yifei play the heroine seems to better reflect the connection between "Boss" and "The Way of Heaven".
Everyone says that Liu Shishi is the little Liu Yifei. In the play, Liu Shishi died unexpectedly, and Liu Yifei took over to resolve the protagonist's heart knot. Isn't it more reasonable than a female police officer moving the male protagonist with sincerity?
As for the campus casting that has already started...
In this regard, we can learn from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. Liu Yifei was the heroine in the first half. When she died and left a will, her biological sister took the initiative to attach herself to the protagonist and became the heroine in the second half.
This "sister" has more roles, so it's completely reasonable to use a newcomer selected through auditions.
As the protagonist has killed Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei in succession, his heart has become more closed, and he is more afraid that his fate as a lonely star will hurt his "sister".
So he deliberately revealed those cruel business operation rules and those cold-blooded capital operations to his "sister" without reservation.
This is also more reasonable than the original novel where the protagonist always patiently educates his friends, drivers, and partners about these cruel knowledge.
Those long paragraphs of analysis sometimes seem like explanations specifically given to the audience watching the TV series.
Now, it seems to be more in line with the character's logic to put on a cover of wanting his "sister" to hate him, and female audiences also prefer to see this kind of love-hate plot rather than two grown men sitting together and shouting at the camera.
Thinking of this, Xu Kun's heart began to tilt, but he did not give Liu Xiaoli an answer in person. Instead, he frowned and stared at her for a long time, until she became uneasy, and then he said: "I'll think about it."
At this time, Feng Xiaogang waved over here and signaled Xu Kun to follow him to the backstage.
Because those who come in later are no longer eligible to be greeted by the two big directors at the door, and in order to avoid being harassed by those ignorant little stars, they need to change the scene at the right time.
After watching Xu Kun leave, Liu Xiaoli finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she secretly made up her mind to go back and start to train Qianqian severely. Otherwise, if Director Xu agreed but she still had no progress, she would really not be able to explain herself.
