director of the millennium

Chapter 577 Missing Liying
Regarding Liu Yifei's acting career, Wu Yuan has always had plans.

But the plans couldn't keep up with the changes.

As Light Era became a big hit in Hollywood, the Light Era, which was originally lurking underwater, was put under a magnifying glass, so that pressure from all sides was put on Wu Yuan.

This forced him to signal John to negotiate with these individuals and organizations that coveted the Light Era, and prevent them from wielding their "dining knives" towards the Light Era.

But sooner or later this matter will have an outcome.

After "The Martian" was released, the problem of the light era had to be solved.

At that time, Wu Yuan will drain all the funds from Time, give up a large number of shares, and fully shrink from Hollywood and return to China.

By then, his international influence and popularity will not change much, but his "energy" in Hollywood will definitely be weakened and he will become a pure director.

However, directors cannot control capital in Hollywood. Major directors such as Spielberg and Cameron are rarely able to arrange for an actor to star in one of the six major film projects.

Therefore, if Liu Yifei wants to develop smoothly in Hollywood in the future, signing her overseas agency business to CAA is indeed a good choice.

But for actors, it has been a glorious decade. As long as any actor can star in a series of Hollywood IP movies, he can become a global hit, such as Robert Downey Jr., Dou Sen, and Hammer.

If CAA pays enough attention to Liu Yifei, it is indeed worth signing to this company.

Movies such as "Avatar", "Inception", "2012", "Harry Potter", "Transformers", "Kung Fu Panda", etc. are all actor contracts signed with CAA, and a large number of CAA actors have been included in these movies. crew.

Sandra Bullock, Nicolas Cage, George Clooney, Jamie Foxx, Nicole Kidman, Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, Will Smith, Meryl · Top artists such as Streep, Jennifer Lopez and Bruce Willis also come from CAA.

This is only the power of CAA in the film field. It is also a giant agency in the fields of TV series, music, and sports.

Wu Yuan smiled and said to Liu Yifei: "If the result of the negotiation is OK, let's sign a contract with CAA."

"Let's do this. I'll ask the company to help you negotiate this matter and see if we can come up with a suitable result."

"Dilraba, Wang Xiao, Bai Yu, Li Xian, Liu Xueyi, are these the new actors signed by the company in "Actors Please Take Your Place"?"

In Wu Yuan's eyes, the next ten years in Hollywood will definitely be a nightmare for original films and directors.

After signing with CAA, you can also use its energy in TV dramas, music, and sports, such as allowing Liu Yifei to participate in NBA All-Star events, Super Bowl performances, etc...

CAA not only has actors such as Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks, but also directors such as Spielberg and Cameron.

If Liu Yifei can be plugged into Transformers or some other big IP by CAA to play the heroine a few times, it will be worth a lot of money.

"Maybe this will make your career in Hollywood better."

"I know." She didn't know this, she just trusted Wu Yuan and let him arrange it.

After all, CAA has simply mastered gangster hegemony in Hollywood.

At the Light and Shadow Times headquarters, after Wu Yuan came back from the road show, Li Xiaoping sent such a document.

When he was filming "The Martian" abroad, the "Actors Please Be Here" program had already settled down.

Dilraba, Wang Xiao, Bai Yu, Li Xian, Liu Xueyi, Zhao Liying, Ren Guochao, Wu Jinyan, Yin Zheng, and Wang Yanlin became the final top ten players.

Among the top ten, Bai Yu, Wang Xiao, and Dilraba became the final champions, second runner-up, and third runner-up. Is there any behind-the-scenes operation here?
To be honest, there is.

At least if Zhao Liying hadn't already signed with a company, she wouldn't have stopped in the top ten. It's hard to say who will win, but the top three are definitely promising.

That's not to say that Zhao Liying's acting skills are so good now.

It's just that in such a new actor competition program, Zhao Liying, who has already filmed many TV series and has sufficient experience as a TV series actor, is indeed better than these newcomers who have a professional background but are only half-foot in the acting circle. .

But even if she is relatively top-notch, it's hard to let her enter the top three and get resources from the Light and Shadow Era for nothing, right?

Therefore, under the clever arrangement of the competition system by the program team, Zhao Liying had a round-robin battle with Yin Zheng, Ren Guochao, and Wang Xiao, and finally lost to Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao is also an actor without a professional background, but he can be considered a second-generation star. He has inherited his mother's acting talent. He is the most improved and fastest contestant on "Actors Please Take Your Place" this time, and is also the biggest dark horse.

He really integrated all the theories and performance tips taught by the four instructors and even drew inferences from one instance to another. He is very spiritual.

"This Wang Xiao is really good." Wu Yuan pointed at Wang Xiao's information in his hand and sighed: "Actors who are not from a major are sometimes not necessarily worse than those who have a major."

"Just like Zhao Liying, practice is the best teacher. Her acting skills are better than 90% of other contestants."

"How about it? Are Hairun willing to let him go?"

Li Xiaoping shook her head: ""My Fair Princess" was aired in July last year. Zhao Liying's role as Qing'er in the drama was quite memorable and became a hit."

"When "My Fair Princess" aired in the second half, our "Actors Please Take Their Place" also started airing, and Zhao Liying's performance in the show was also very eye-catching."

"Although she didn't make it into the top three, the combination of the two made her popular. Now Hairun and Yu Zheng are hooking up. Zhao Liying not only starred in the sequel of "Gong Lock Heart Jade", but also Yu Zheng She has also been cast as the heroine in the new drama "Legend of Lu Zhen".

"Zhao Liying's future can be said to be very good. Of course, Hairun is not willing to let her go."

"And Zhao Liying herself doesn't have a strong desire to change jobs. She is very happy staying at Hairun."

"What a pity." Wu Yuan shook his head.

It would be great if the company could gather two model workers, Yang Mi and Zhao Liying.

It's just that this kind of good thing is indeed difficult to achieve.

"Keep an eye on her. The company has suitable TV drama roles, and you can also ask her to play them."

"In "Shan Shan Is Coming", we can let her try to be the heroine."

"This" Li Xiaoping looked a little confused, "Several female artists in the company are eyeing this show."

"Their image is not as suitable as Zhao Liying." Wu Yuan sighed: "The male lead will be played by someone from the company. If possible, let her play the female lead."

It is really difficult for Wu Yuan to change some stereotypes, such as the image of Zhao Liying in "Shanshan Is Here" and "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", which are really too deep-rooted.

As for the copyrights of the original novels of these two TV series, Light and Shadow Times has already purchased them, and they will be produced sooner or later.

Even if Zhao Liying fails to be signed into the company, there is a high probability that she will be the one to star in these two dramas in the end!
