Chapter 194: Scandal with Gong Huang
Sure enough, several interviewers looked at each other and made their choices.
Liu Hongmin collected the interview feedback forms and announced directly: "Congratulations, you passed the audition."
Gong Li was overjoyed and quickly thanked: "Thank you, Teacher Liu."
"I'm not a teacher!" Liu Hongmin waved his hand and said with a smile: "It seems that your acting skills have matured a lot in this year."
Gong Li said excitedly: "Teacher Wang also said that I have made a lot of progress, but I still feel that I still have a lot to learn."
Liu Hongmin nodded. "In fact, learning and practicing at the same time will make your acting skills improve faster. You can shoot "Mr. Donkey" first. If there is a suitable project later, I will contact you."
Gong Li was overjoyed, "Thank you, thank you Teacher Liu!"
Liu Hongmin waved his hand, "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared."
After discussing the script adaptation requirements with Lin Yong, Liu Hongmin went home. As soon as Chen Yu drove out of the gate of Beijing Film Studio, Liu Hongmin asked him to stop the car. Rolling down the window, Liu Hongmin said to Gong Li who was waiting for the bus on the roadside: "Get in! I'll give you a ride."
Gong Li pursed her lips, but still opened the door and got into the car.
Chen Yu started the car again and drove towards Shichahai. Liu Hongmin saw that Gong Li was a little nervous, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I actually have something to talk to you about."
Gong Li turned around in surprise, "Teacher Liu, do you want to talk to me about something?"
"Yes, I want to ask you if you want to sign a contract with my film company."
"Mr. Liu...Mr. Liu, you want to sign me? But I haven't graduated yet!"
Liu Hongmin: "It's okay, you can continue your studies. I won't let you go to Hong Kong to develop before you graduate. Most of the projects of Mingtian Film Company are shot in the mainland. I will try my best to let you shoot during the winter and summer vacations. After you graduate, you can go to Hong Kong to develop."
Gong Li breathed a sigh of relief. She really couldn't make up her mind to go to Hong Kong right now.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu. I am willing to sign a contract with you."
"Then happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
Liu Hongmin smiled at her and said, "The car will arrive at the school in a while. I just got back from a plane today and I'm a little sleepy."
"Teacher Liu, please do as you please!"
Gong Li said quickly, and then she saw Liu Hongmin really dozing off with his eyes closed. She stared at Liu Hongmin curiously, wondering what kind of person he was, who had such talent.
Chen Yu saw this situation in the rearview mirror and immediately coughed lightly.
Gong Li was awakened and quickly sat up straight, her face slightly red, and she huddled in her seat not daring to look around.
Soon, the car stopped in front of the Central Theater. Liu Hongmin was awakened by the sound of the car door opening, opened his eyes and looked, "Are we there?"
Gong Li nodded and said, "Teacher Liu, I'm here. Thank you for sending me back."
"It's okay. There will be a script reading in a few days. I will leave home at eight in the morning. You can come to my house in advance and we can go together."
"Thank you, Teacher Liu." Gong Li hurriedly thanked him. She didn't have a bicycle, so if she didn't take Liu Hongmin's car, she would have to take the bus.
"It's just a side thing."
After Gong Li got off the car, Chen Yu drove Liu Hongmin home. In the next few days, Liu Hongmin went to Beijing Film Studio to participate in the script creation. Because there was a drama script, it only needed a little modification to take shape. If this was not the first co-production, Beijing Film Studio would have used the drama script directly.
On the first day of the script reading, Gong Li left the Central Theatre at 7am and rushed to Shichahai. It was her first time to visit Liu Hongmin's home, so she thought she would need to look for a while. Unexpectedly, she found it quickly, but the size of the courtyard in front of her surprised her a little. If she hadn't seen Liu Hongmin through the open gate, she wouldn't have believed that this courtyard was Liu Hongmin's home.
Liu Hongmin had just gotten up and was squatting in the yard brushing his teeth. "It's early! Have you eaten?"
Gong Li nodded, "Eat...eat!"
Liu Hongmin, in keeping with the hospitality of the Northeastern people, invited: "Eat more!"
Gong Li quickly waved her hands, "No, no!"
"I haven't eaten yet anyway!" Liu Hongmin extended his hand to invite him.
Liu's mother happened to come out and asked, "Boss, who is this girl?"
"Gong Li, a student at the Central Academy of Drama and the leading actress of "Mr. Donkey". We were doing a script reading these days, and she didn't have a bicycle, so I let her take my car to Beijing Film Studio."
"Is that so!" Liu's mother said with a smile: "Since she is the eldest brother's heroine, let's have dinner together!"
Facing Liu Hongmin, Gong Li could still refuse. But facing Liu's mother, she couldn't say no. She nodded inexplicably, and was pulled into the house by Liu's mother and sat at the table.
"Girl, try it and see if it suits your taste. What do you like to eat? I'll make it for you tomorrow."
Gong Li quickly shook her head, "Aunt, that's good."
The food at Liu Hongmin's house has always been good, the breakfast is also very rich, and the food variety is more than that of the trial at Central Academy of Drama.
Liu Hongmin also sat down and started eating with big mouthfuls. After the meal, Liu Hongmin changed his clothes and took Gong Li to Beijing Film Studio.
When Liu Hongmin arrived at the Beijing Film Studio, he felt something was wrong. The employees of the Beijing Film Studio kept looking at him, their eyes revealing a strong sense of gossip.
After entering the office, Lin Yong immediately said with a smile: "Hongmin, you are in the newspaper."
Liu Hongmin's expression changed. "Really? What's the reason this time?"
Lin Yong looked at Gong Li, "Because of her."
"Me?" Gong Li was surprised. She really couldn't think of what it had to do with her.
Liu Hongmin understood instantly, "Brother Yong, you guys are so free? You're actually working on those unscrupulous tabloids at work?"
Lin Yong smiled and placed a newspaper in front of Liu Hongmin, "This is not an unscrupulous tabloid."
Liu Hongmin took a quick look. Southern newspapers have always been known for their openness, and many of their contents are similar to those in Hong Kong. Everything has its pros and cons. If it is too open, it will naturally like to publish some eye-catching articles. Liu Hongmin has a huge influence, and his scandals are definitely attractive.
Gong Li picked up the newspaper, glanced at the headline, and immediately became angry. "How can they say such nonsense?"
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "Don't be angry. When you develop in Hong Kong, there will be a hundred times more news like this than now."
"But they can't just talk nonsense!" Gong Li said angrily.
Liu Hongmin pointed at the newspaper and said, "They are not talking nonsense. Look at the words they use, suspicious, speculative, all of which are ambiguous. Although they are imaginative, you can't really say they are talking nonsense."
"Isn't it the same?" Gong Li asked puzzledly.
Liu Hongmin explained: "If you can confirm that what they said is nonsense, you can use it as evidence to sue them. If you can't confirm it, you can't sue them."
Gong Li was a little confused as she didn't have a deep understanding of the law.
"You should know that Gong Xue went abroad to study because of negative news, right? If she can win a lawsuit and make a newspaper apologize in the newspaper, other newspapers will definitely not dare to blacken her so much."
