my gilded age

Chapter 221 Is there a conspiracy in the audition?go to cannes
It seems that our men are quite famous.

When Bai Shiqiu heard Feng Xiaogang's invitation to audition, he had the above thoughts in his mind. This thought came not only from Feng Xiaogang's invitation, but also from the previous one. Didn't the Hong Kong boss named Jiang Zhiqiang also come to invite him? .

Although Bai Shiqiu didn't have any big illusions about the auditions for the two dramas "The Night Banquet" and "The City of Golden Armor". After all, he knew these movies very well, but it seemed that it was okay to go for a walk. Well.

Plus, it seems like...he had a pretty good idea.

"Then I'm treating you two uncles today. Let's..."

"I know you are stingy, but we can't eat too much."

"Well, why don't you go have a drink? Is there a good place?"

When Bai Shiqiu heard this, he wanted to save us some money, so why not keep it secret? As for the place, of course we have it.

Lao Pao'er Bar.

"Ouch! Isn't this Mr. Liu?"

"Ah? This place... Hi! What happened to this guy Bai Shiqiu? He brought me here! Okay, haha..."

This bar is really interesting, you know, the boss, Xiang Wei, was at home today to look after the store, and he happened to see Feng Xiaogang directly. We know each other, why don't we chat for a while?
Then we took a group photo together. Although I have been here before, it doesn’t matter. I have two more photos. I’ll keep them. After all, I am a celebrity.

When Guan Feng was filming the movie "Old Paoer", he said hello to Xiang Wei and Bian Ye, and was given the role of consultant. However, they were also good people and didn't have the nerve to ask for money. The consultant was also simple. Yes, not that seriously.

However, I still knew Feng Xiaogang, and the conversation became quite warm.

"Boy."

"Uncle Zhang, what's going on?"

Feng Xiaogang was trapped by Xiang Weila over there, but Zhang Guoli was not idle either. He brought Bai Shiqiu in first, and then the two started talking.

"I think you're a good boy, so I'm going to tell you something. Today's invitation to audition, you boy, you, you, just accept it and don't go."

"what?"

Zhang Guoli actually said something like this, telling Bai Shiqiu not to go to the audition. Didn't this make Bai Shiqiu look confused?

"This..." Zhang Guoli looked over there, and it seemed that Feng Xiaogang couldn't get away for a while, so he whispered: "Uncle, I haven't hurt you, have I?"

Bai Shiqiu nodded and said sincerely, "I was the only one who cheated uncle. I was wrong."

"..." After hearing this, Zhang Guoli was stunned for a long time. Bai Shiqiu still had some conscience about his feelings, so let's just say it all. He whispered even more, "Do you know? Who proposed this audition?"

"Who?"

"Wang Zhonglei!"

"Huh? Don't Teacher Feng think that I have arranged a good movie role for him?"

"Bai Shiqiu, how come you are so stupid and so smart now?"

"Hehehehe...this is my characteristic. Uncle, you will know if you get in touch with me more. That guy Zhang Mo will be very adaptable."

"you……"

Zhang Guoli wanted to say something else, but the group photo over there was finished, and he even mentioned something, and Feng Xiaogang was here.

"Have you ordered a drink?" The guy laughed.

"You are sick, drink less."

"Afraid of the fart!"

Everyone knows that Feng Xiaogang has vitiligo, but it's not serious at the moment. He doesn't care about smoking or drinking.

He is quite old, and Zhang Guoli is very annoyed by this.

Bai Shiqiu understood clearly, so he ordered some alternative drinks, such as mojitos, which he preferred to drink, and whiskey with a lot of ice cubes and soda water. This type of wine is called HIGHBALL, and almost all such wines are light. I can’t order wine, but I can still drink.

"This is good." Feng Xiaogang thought it was good and praised it several times.

Zhang Guoli was also very happy, and the three of them started chatting.

Let’s talk about the drama, let’s talk about the development, and then let’s talk about… “The Promise”.

There is simply no way around this film. For all the people in the Chinese film and television industry, if they don’t know about this film, would they be embarrassed to say hello to others?

The three of them chatted for a while, but when they arrived at Bai Shiqiu's place, they simply said one thing.

"Actually, although I haven't watched this film yet, from the trailer, some information I know so far, and the simple plot, I have a feeling that this film was made by Director Chen based on "Macbeth", right?"

Bai Shiqiu's words immediately stunned Zhang Guoli and Feng Xiaogang!
Why is there such a big reaction?

Because Director Chen has never said that, he didn't say that his inspiration for "The Promise" came from "Macbeth" at all.

"Macbeth", Shakespeare's masterpiece, is known to everyone. The plot is that the general Macbeth was bewitched by the three witches, and then he made a plot to usurp the throne. In the end, Macbeth was also killed by others. Such a drama.

But it was a coincidence.

"The Night Banquet" is adapted from Shakespeare's masterpiece, "Hamlet"!

Feng Xiaogang was thinking in his heart at this time, this old boy Chen Kai is still pissed. It is obviously adapted from a foreigner's work, but this old boy just doesn't say it!
I feel like I'm being honest.

But, thinking about it again, honesty also has its advantages. When the film is released, anyone with a bit of discernment will be able to tell that this is a modified "Hamlet".As for Director Chen... you see, it's not released yet, and a guy like Bai Shiqiu can see it.

And Zhang Guoli calculated it. Bai Shiqiu is really smart.

If it wasn't mentioned, most people probably wouldn't be able to figure it out at all. Moreover, based on the information given so far, many strong people wouldn't be able to figure it out either.

This year, the Lunar New Year festival is all out of the way. No one can fight against Director Chen. No one, this is true.

Zhang Guoli also felt that this kid Bai Shiqiu was stupid when he heard about the file transfer before, but looking at it now, he might be holding back some tricks.

As for Bai Shiqiu, of course it's calm, such a trivial matter is nothing at all.

Today, the two big guys in the domestic film and television industry have come to appreciate Bai Shiqiu's special talent. Zhang Guoli feels it, but Feng Xiaogang doesn't feel anything else at all.

When he was almost done drinking, Zhang Guoli felt a little nervous and went to the toilet.

"Boy."

"Ok?"

What's going on?
How come Feng Xiaogang is the same as Zhang Guoli, choosing this situation to speak.

And ah...

"Let me tell you, that guy Wang Zhonglei asked me to find you for this audition, not me. Actually, it's not completely... Hey! How should I put it, I think it's good for you to act, But, I know, that little king, he doesn’t have any good intentions.”

This is really interesting. This time, it was Bai Shiqiu's turn and he was stunned.

Speaking of which, who has ever seen such an invitation to audition?

But Bai Shiqiu also quickly understood some things, and he thanked Feng Xiaogang directly.

"Uncle Feng, you think so of me, Bai Shiqiu, and I thank you. But I will go to this audition, I will definitely go!"

Feng Xiaogang took a good look at the young man in front of him. In the end, he didn't say much but drank a glass of wine and patted him on the shoulder.

"Oh, you guys have a good relationship."

"Then look."

"Come on, do you want to change something this time?"

The three of them started drinking again.

Bai Shiqiu really didn't expect that today's drink would be so interesting, which surprised him somewhat. So, it seemed that the Wang brothers were trying to do something to themselves.

Using an audition to make things happen, I'm afraid one of them is...

Bai Shiqiu smiled, he had already guessed the general outline of the matter.

On the surface, it seems that he and the Wang brothers don't have much to do with each other. The fact that they did such a thing, including Lao Bai and their Red Star, seems very out of the ordinary, but it's actually very normal.

Huayi and Hongxing, they all work in the same circle. In the past, Hongxing mainly engaged in dramas. Of course, the Wang brothers did not like it. But now, Hongxing is developing into film and television dramas, and the momentum is so strong. How can they not be afraid of us? A group of young generals are competing for class and power. It would be strange if they don't come out to cause trouble.

Now the two of them took the opportunity to engage in a stunt, and they did it in a subtle and clever way. If it hadn't been for today's drink, Bai Shiqiu would have been hard-pressed to detect it.

He has already thought of countermeasures. This audition will not come right away. When the time comes, everyone will have to rely on their own abilities.

However, on second thought, it’s interesting.

Cao Baoping's "Li Mi's Conjecture" was originally produced by Huayi, but it was a big production. It was quite difficult for the film to pass the review back then. Lao Cao's style has always been, and when it was released, there was a lot of publicity at that time. It was so powerful that it became a hot topic for a while.

It's a pity that the box office performance was not good, and it was not until the later "Scorching Sun" that Lao Cao turned around.

Now "Li Mi's Conjecture" has become "Li Mi" and has been censored by our Red Star. If you think about it this way, it was our Red Star who made the move first.

It's really interesting.

There are turbulent undercurrents in the industry, and various methods are difficult to guard against. For the time being, Baek Shi Qiu still focuses on his own affairs. The scene of "Yue Nv Sword" is too big for him, so there is naturally a lot of preparation work. Fortunately, a lot of it is good. The news came.

"Brother, we've taken care of things on the set for you."

"This is the place where we used to film "Daming Palace Ci". You guys should be satisfied, right?"

"Thank you two eldest sisters."

A large-scale historical drama must have a good filming location. "Daming Palace Ci" was filmed in Wuxi Film and Television City, which should be enough.

I remember that the Three Kingdoms was filmed there. It was really not easy to find such a place. Many film and television cities are very busy now, especially the historical drama of Wu Yue's struggle for hegemony. Everyone has started working on it.

This is definitely good news. In terms of talent selection, Qianqian said that she will find them all for you, Lao Bai.

Bai Shiqiu said, we are not that kind of person, I believe in you, Qianqian, so I turned to whomever I looked at.

With such busy work, time passed quickly. By May, Bai Shiqiu had to stop everything he was doing because he was going abroad to France.

The film "Blue Red" is going to participate in the Cannes Film Festival in France.
