The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 692 Wan Qian

Back from CCTV Film and Television House.

After lunch, after being forced to exercise by Liu Shishi, Lu Yuan went straight to the company without stopping.

The popularity of "My Love from the Star" remains unabated, with its ratings on Hunan Satellite TV and online clicks on PPS continuing to rise, and its momentum is getting stronger.

At the same time, his next film, "Burning Sun", has been put on the agenda.

The first task before filming began was to gather all the main actors for a week-long script reading.

As a realistic film, "Burning Sun" is extremely explicit compared to most of the works in the current domestic film market.

The film begins with a murder case and explores the complexity and dark side of human nature, while triggering deep thinking about the nature of human nature and the boundaries of social morality.

Lu Yuan attaches great importance to this movie.

Since he transitioned to the big screen, most of the works he starred in were commercial films with a clear box office orientation, while he rarely ventured into works with realistic themes.

No actor can resist such films.

China World Trade Center.

A girl wearing a white V-neck T-shirt and a black skirt with yellow flowers got out of the taxi. She was wearing flat sandals and her exposed skin was as white as jade.

Wan Qian lifted her slightly curly long hair. Her profile was quite attractive, delicate and intellectual.

She raised her eyes, stroked her forehead with her right hand, and fixed her gaze on the floor where the media company was located, lost in thought.

The driver, who was in his forties, stuck his head out of the car. The sunlight was glaring and his eyes were narrowed into slits. He had no time to appreciate whether the woman was pretty or not, he just wanted to give her a reminder.

"Beauty, the fare is thirty!"

"Oh, oh, sorry!" Wan Qian came back to her senses and hurriedly took out change from her bag.

"Give!"

"Here's twenty bucks for you. Take it."

"Thank you."

Looking at the taxi's back gradually going away, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Wan Qian's face.

Why can’t I become famous?

She was born in 82 and graduated from the Acting Department of Shanghai Theatre Academy in 2000. She was a classmate of Guo Jingfei.

During her time at school, she starred in many dramas, both at home and abroad. She believes that her professional ability far exceeds that of several popular actresses of the same age currently active on the screen, such as Liu Qian, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, and Tang Yan.
But she just isn’t popular!

There is no doubt that she longs for fame, which is the common wish of all people in the entertainment industry.

When she just graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, in addition to filming, she also signed a contract with a music company, released singles, and sang theme songs for TV dramas, trying to increase her chances of becoming famous through diversified tracks.

Unfortunately, after so many years, her efforts have not been rewarded as they should be.

Her career was not going well in her early years, so she even set up her own gaming guild "Gravity" in the game "World of Warcraft". Relying on her good gaming talent and good looks, she gained a certain degree of fame in the gaming circle.

In today's terms, it's called establishing a persona, but even so, she still failed to become popular.

She was puzzled. Why? She also had the character of a gaming girl. A few years ago, Liu Shishi posted her daily gaming life on her blog and received a lot of attention.

Now when content about League of Legends is released on Weibo, fans and passers-by are screaming with excitement.

Is it because she was playing Lu Yuan’s account?
People are more infuriating than people.

At this time, Guo Jingfei parked the car on the side of the road and happened to see his old classmate standing on the steps in a daze.

"Hey, Boss Wan, why don't you go in?" Wan Qian turned her head and smiled sweetly: "What a coincidence, I just arrived and I'm going in now."

"What are you waiting for? Let's go." Guo Jingfei led the way.

Wan Qian nodded and followed with a smile.

Guo Jingfei was called a genius by his class teacher Gu Yian and was placed with high hopes.

As far as she knew, after they graduated, almost all the freshmen at Shanghai Theatre Academy had heard of the other's name as the little prince of drama.

Thinking of how he had been on camera frequently recently to promote his new drama, she couldn't help but feel a little envious: "Let's Get Married, starring you and Gao Yuanyuan, will be airing soon, right?"

“It will be broadcast on CCTV and PPS next month.”

"Oh, you're a future star, congratulations." Wan Qian joked.

There is no doubt about Guo Jingfei's professional ability, but there are many people with good acting skills in this industry.

Although the other party has good acting skills, unfortunately his appearance is average, so he also took a lot of detours after graduation. It was not until he signed with Lu Yuan's studio and his resources began to increase that he gradually opened up the situation.

Starting from Lu Ran in "Love Is Not Blind", "The Golden Robbery" and "Time Travel Cohabitation".
Lu Yuan appears in almost all the movies he stars in.

Yuanfang Media even used the title of Little Prince of Drama as a gimmick and labeled him as a talented actor.

Nowadays, the TV series starring him has even been broadcast on CCTV, making him a solid first-line reserve.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. It hasn't been aired yet, so who knows what will happen." Guo Jingfei waved his hand.

Wan Qian glanced at him and said, "I didn't realize you were so modest before. That's Director Liu Jiang, who filmed the classic spy drama Before Dawn and The Good Times of Wife, which was even popular in Africa. It doesn't make sense that Let's Get Married, a drama with the same theme, would have a bad ratings."

Guo Jingfei chuckled, showing his iconic canine teeth, and said to himself: "It's too early to say these things now. We will see the truth after the show is broadcast."

He changed the subject and said, "Don't worry, the movie 'Burning Sun' is starred by the boss himself, and co-directed by two great directors Cao Baoping and Wen Muye. After the movie is released, your popularity will definitely soar. Since the boss entered the industry, he has made many actresses famous."

Wan Qian smiled without saying anything, but she agreed in her heart.

In "The Sun Also Rises", the policeman Yi Guchun, played by Duan Yihong, has a younger sister named Yi Guxia, who is the female character with the most scenes in the entire play.

When director Cao Baoping was selecting the role, he was hesitant about the actress to play.

After discussing with Wen Muye and others, it was decided to issue interview invitations to the public to find suitable candidates.

Iguxia has a stripping scene, but that's not a problem.

Because the luxurious cast of this drama is enough to make most mainland actresses crazy about it.

Lu Yuan, one of the leading actors, is the box office champion among mainland actors, far ahead of the second place.

Director Cao Baoping is a master of realistic themes. He once made Zhou Xun the first domestic actress to win the triple gold grand slam with her role in "Li Mi's Conjecture".

Although Wen Muye is young, he has achieved remarkable results. Last year's "New World" grossed over 1 billion yuan, making him one of the few billion-level directors in the country.

Obviously, such a lineup means that "The Sun Also Rises" is aiming for awards.

After receiving an interview invitation, which actress would easily give up such an opportunity?

Wan Qian is no exception.

But she originally thought that her hopes were slim. After all, the company she signed with was of average strength, and she herself did not have a strong background or connections.

However, I didn't expect that the interview process for this play was extremely formal, without any messy inside stories, and it only looked at the actors' professional abilities.

In this respect, she is no less than any other actress of her generation and was chosen as a matter of course.
