Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

There are rumors everywhere in the film and television industry. China Film has approved a new script for Xiang Shanhe, and the news that Feng Xiaogang is the director has spread throughout the circle in two days.

One morning, Feng Xiaogang received an endless stream of calls recommending heroines.

Shanhe also received a call from Zhou Xun, asking about the possibility of participating in the new drama.

"Shanhe, look, just in a short while, more than a dozen candidates for the heroine have come, and basically everyone who has been named in the circle has called. You are very attractive!" Feng Xiaogang hung up the phone and said to Shanhe teased.

"Director Feng, I'm just a screenwriter. The actresses are here for you, right? You're a great director!" Shanhe was a little used to the teasing tone of people in the capital.

"Haha!" Feng Xiaogang laughed a little bit at himself, "Great director? Let me tell you, there are many people who look down on me. A lowly person like me is not welcome!"

Shanhe looked at Feng Xiaogang and smiled, but did not answer the conversation and turned to another topic, "Director Jiang has already gone to experience life? He is very efficient!"

"He has a bad mouth. As an actor, that's nothing to say. I've never seen him fool around with his roles. His acting skills are guaranteed when I choose him as the leading actor. I'm just worried that he'll mess up the scene! But his directorial skills It’s not low, and I can help on site when the time comes. To be honest, we are all working for the Beijing Olympics Bid Committee this time, so put aside all the selfishness in your heart. Everything is for the purpose of bidding for the Olympics. As long as it helps the movie, I will accommodate you! "Feng Xiaogang sighed with a grin.

"Director Feng, you are not aware of this!" Shanhe gave Feng Xiaogang a thumbs up, "After receiving so many calls, what are you going to do? Are you calling them all for auditions?"

"Let's take a look at Zhang Ziyi first! If she can't do it, we'll talk about it later and prioritize overseas distribution!"

"Okay, Director He just called. Zhang Ziyi has flown back from Hong Kong Island. I think I can see you tomorrow!"

Feng Xiaogang nodded, "Shanhe, China Film and the Olympics Bid Committee are relying on you. Next, I have to get the crew in place, and the storyboards have to be written well. I have to think about it carefully. You have to be more dedicated in investing here. Draw as many points as possible!"

"I will keep an eye on it. If you have any difficulties, just raise them. Our backing is very strong this time!" Shanhe responded.

Feng Xiaogang laughed out loud when he heard this, "I've never fought such a rich battle before, I'm a little unaccustomed to it!"

Shanhe smiled after hearing this, "It's not enough to always add millet and rifle. Director Feng, you have to change your clothes. You have to use aircraft and cannons!"

Ha ha…

When Zhang Ziyi received a call from China Film Group Corporation, she was in Hong Kong. Tsui Hark was preparing to restart the "Shu Mountain" project, and she came over to audition.

This trip to Hong Kong Island was a wake-up call for her. Even though she has made a name for herself in Hollywood in the past two years, when she arrived in China, she was just an outstanding newcomer. The heroine of "Shu Mountain" had nothing to do with her even before she auditioned. , I guess I can only play a supporting role to set off others.

Zhang Ziyi felt very aggrieved, but she had no choice. The current situation in China is that Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are in a higher class, female stars are better off, and mainland male actors are in an even worse situation.

She and her brother were very excited when they received a call from China Film.

Shanhe's new script, with Feng Xiaogang as the director and China Film and Beijing Olympics Bidding Committee as the main control parties, sounds like it is no small project.

Shanhe's reputation in Hollywood is not comparable to hers. Not to mention that "Parasite" is still blowing up the streets in Country M. Several of Shanhe's other novels have caused quite a stir in Hollywood. I heard that the six major universities are vying for him. Shanhe The rights to adapt the novel are very popular!

The script Shanhe wrote for the Beijing Olympics Bid Committee is definitely good!

It would be even better if we could get to know Shanhe through this opportunity!

"Brother, you have to be careful with what you say this time. China is not Hong Kong and Hollywood. If you try to make up for it, you won't be able to get it back!" Zhang Ziyi told her agent brother.

Zhang Zinan nodded perfunctorily, "China is our hometown, and I must know the importance. You have to work harder this time. Hollywood has to grab Shanhe's new work!"

Zhang Ziyi looked at her brother, why did she feel so unreliable?

"I know that since China Film Group notified me to come back, the chances should be great. My advantage is obvious!"

Zhang Ziyi called Feng Xiaogang as soon as she got off the plane and made an appointment to meet the next day.

At this time, Shanhe was discussing with China Film and Han Shanping about establishing an investment project.

"Shanhe, I am the producer of "Run! Dad" this time, and the work on China Film Group has already begun. This is Yu Dong from the production department. He has joined the crew as the representative of China Film Group and is responsible for coordination and operation!" Han Shanping pointed out The young man with a square face next to him introduced Shanhe.

"Hello Shanhe, I have long admired your name. Please take good care of me in the future!" Yu Dong extended his right hand to greet Shanhe.

Shanhe stretched out his hand and responded: "Hello, Yu Dong, it's me who should take more care of you. You will be Party A from now on, and we all have to point to you for food!"

Ha ha…

All three laughed.

"Mr. Han, how much money does China Film have to invest this time? We need to know a little bit about it?" Shanhe asked.

Han Shanping replied with a smile: "Shanhe, you look like a student at first sight. You don't have to worry about investment for this kind of project. You ask Xiaogang to hand over the shooting budget to Yu Dong, and I will also take care of it. You don't have to worry about the funds. I I feel that this movie will not only make money back, but it may also have surprises!”

"Okay! In the words of director Xiaogang, I have never fought such a rich battle, so I am a bit unaccustomed to it!" Shanhe replied teasingly.

Shanhe's words made the three of them laugh again.

"I heard that you and Xiaogang chose Jiang Wen as the leading actor? He is a thorn in the side, but his international influence is not bad. Zhang Ziyi also fits the character image, and the actor is quite suitable. Yu Dong, this movie Time is tight. Once the actors are confirmed, you have to start promoting and build momentum first!" Han Shanping explained to Shan He and Shan He with a smile.

Yu Dong nodded and responded: "Mr. Han, I have already made a preliminary publicity plan. This time, Shanhe will be the screenwriter, Feng Xiaogang will be the director, plus Jiang Wen and Zhang Ziyi. Our propaganda has never fought such a rich battle. ! It’s easy to say at home, but we don’t have the resources overseas. Does the Olympic Bid Committee have any plans?”

After hearing this, Han Shanping turned his attention to Shanhe, "Shanhe, do you have channels in country M? It's probably not easy for the Olympic Bid Committee to intervene!"

Shanhe nodded, "I will contact Disney, I am familiar with Bruckheimer, and see if I can help!"

Han Shanping stood up after hearing the words, "Okay! Let's do this first. I can't get away recently. If you have any difficulties, please contact me and make the video first!"

As soon as Shanhe and Yu Dong came out of Han Shanping's office, Feng Xiaogang's call came.

"Hey, Shanhe, Zhang Ziyi just called me. You have to come to my studio tomorrow morning. I'll call Lao Jiang and we'll weigh her together. If her acting is inappropriate, we'll replace her. !”

"Okay, by the way, the representative of China Film Group Corporation is by my side. He will also be there tomorrow!"

"Who?"

"In the East!"

"I know him. He's a character. This time, China Film Academy has sent elite soldiers and generals!"

"That's it for now. I'm still at China Film Academy. We'll discuss the details tomorrow!"

"okay!"

Shan He put down his mobile phone and said to Yu Dong beside him: "Director Feng's phone number, audition for the heroine tomorrow morning, would you like to go over there too and have a look?"

Yu Dong nodded and responded: "No problem, I'll be there on time tomorrow, Director Feng's studio, right?"

"Yes, okay, then we'll see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

Shanhe walked out of the door of China Film Group Corporation. He rubbed the lines between his eyebrows. There are so many trivial matters in the birth of a movie!

This is still a special situation. After all, with the support of the Beijing Olympics Bid Committee, some messy troubles are directly blocked.

This experience has been of great help to Shanhe. At least he has stepped into the film industry.

The next day, Shanhe arrived at Feng Xiaogang's studio early in the morning.

Yu Dong and Feng Xiaogang had already arrived. After the three exchanged greetings, they began to talk about the actresses for this audition.

"I got news that Zhang Ziyi was in trouble on Hong Kong Island. The heroine of "Shu Mountain" has been confirmed to be Zhang Pozhi, so she has a female supporting role!" Yu Dong gossiped to Shan He and Shan He with a smile.

Feng Xiaogang made a cup of tea for the two of them, "Haha, those people in Hong Kong look down on us mainland filmmakers. There is nothing we can do about it. The box office performance is not good, and we can't stand up!"

Speaking of this, both Yu Dong and Feng Xiaogang's air pressure was a little low. Seeing this, Shanhe asked, "Director Jiang hasn't arrived yet. Where has he been in the past two days?"

"The Olympic bid committee moved him to the track and field team. I heard that you also stayed there for more than ten days?" Feng Xiaogang replied.

Shan He nodded and sighed: "Middle and long-distance runners really have to endure hardship. The amount of exercise was too much. I was thrown up on the first day of training. It was just basic training. Wang Junxia said that their training volume at that time was twice that of today's athletes. It’s unimaginable!”

"I have collected a lot of information in this area in the past two days. All athletes have to work hard. Basically everyone has scars on their body. I admire them very much. Competitive sports not only test people's talents and beliefs. And willpower is indispensable. I went back and read your script again and was filled with emotion. I also have new ideas about the concept of the movie!" Feng Xiaogang responded with emotion.

"Director Jiang will come over later and he will probably have some ideas!" Shanhe nodded in agreement.

While talking, Jiang Wen walked in.

"I was just talking about you! This is Yu Dong from China Film and Television, the producer responsible for coordination and publicity!" Feng Xiaogang introduced to Jiang Wen.

Both of them knew each other, and after a brief greeting, Jiang Wen began to talk about his experience on the track and field team.

"This time I really gained a lot of knowledge. Athletes are really not accessible to ordinary people. The basic training was so frustrating for me. I was a little scared when I saw those athletes training. What does it mean to push yourself to the limit and then break through?" , then go to the next extreme! Can you practice like this without getting hurt?"

Jiang Wen took a sip of water and continued: "I have really received an education this time. Li Changchun must act well. Competitive sports can really represent the human spirit. Faith is not just official talk for them. You can't persevere without it." ! My body shape is still not that good, I will try to lose weight in the next ten days!"

Shanhe felt Jiang Wen's investment. It seemed that the choice of the male protagonist was successful. In this movie, Li Changchun and Li Xiaoxia are the actors. As long as they can perform successfully, most of the movie will be completed. The next step is to look at the female protagonist. .

At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Ziyi arrived at Feng Xiaogang's studio with her agent brother.

Feng Xiaogang introduced Zhang Ziyi and everyone. Zhang Ziyi kept a low posture and greeted several people one by one.

On the contrary, his agent brother was very active, handing out business cards to several people to build relationships.

"Enough chatter, this is part of the script. Ziyi, take a look at it. I'll give you half an hour to perform it!" Feng Xiaogang handed a few pages of the script to Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi took the script and said with a smile: "Then I'll start, please wait a moment!"

Half an hour later, Zhang Ziyi stood up, took off her high heels and socks, took off her down jacket, and started her performance.

The script given to her was a scene in which Li Xiaoxia entered the national competition for the first time, her sister was injured, her performance was poor, and she was helpless on the track.

It is quite difficult and will test Zhang Ziyi's on-the-spot reaction and acting skills.

Zhang Ziyi's performance was better than Shanhe expected. She only saw part of the script and had to figure out the character design by herself. The only difference was her body shape and athlete's unique temperament. Her expressions and demeanor were excellent. The key was that she had a big butt. The tenacity to get out.

A few minutes later, Zhang Ziyi's performance ended. Several people looked at each other and were not in a hurry to express their opinions.

"Ziyi, please put on your clothes and shoes first. Don't catch a cold. Sit down and drink a glass of water. Let's discuss it for a while!" Feng Xiaogang said to Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi nodded and took the down jacket from his brother, "Director, do you need us to avoid it?"

"No need, just take a rest first!"

The four people from Shanhe walked into the inner room, and Feng Xiaogang spoke first, "What do you think? I think it's okay. If nothing else, Zhang Ziyi's acting skills are still very solid, and his body shape and temperament can be improved!"

"It's not bad! You can achieve such a passing performance with just a few pages of script!" Jiang Wen also commented.

Several people looked at Shanhe.

Shanhe nodded and said: "I'm still a layman, so I can't speak professionally, but she has the risk-taking flavor of a heroine that I imagined."

"Then it's settled. If she plays the role, we will have many hot topics!" Yu Dong continued.

Several people looked at each other and nodded.

After getting the answer, several people went to the living room, and Feng Xiaogang informed Zhang Ziyi of the audition results.

"Ziyi, this role is yours, but there are requirements!"

Zhang Ziyi and her brother were very excited after hearing this, "Director Feng, thank you for your approval, I can accept the crew's request!"

"Don't worry, let me finish the matter. First, you have to join the track and field team to experience life. You have to develop the temperament and body shape of a middle-distance runner, which will be more difficult. Second, this project is controlled by the Olympic Bid Committee. The salary is It will be lower!" Feng Xiaogang made the request face to face.

"There's no problem with me. I can accept zero pay. As for training, I was scorned by Wi-Fi all over in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". I can endure the hardship!" Zhang Ziyi's answer was simple.

Shanhe looked at her with admiration. As expected, all the four beauties were not simple! Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi both have the characteristics of successful people!

As for the man behind the scenes, let’s ignore him for the time being. How many people in this circle dare to say that they are spotless!
