Full-time actor

Chapter 486 [51] The selection of “Healing Girl”!
At the entrance of Jueqing Valley, there is the largest banyan tree forest in China, but it is an artificial imitation and cost 270 million yuan.

The framework of this banyan forest is made of reinforced concrete, and then shaped with cement, ash and sand.

The ancient banyan tree has intricate roots and a crown that stretches out horizontally. It has lush branches and leaves, and a white and green trunk, the green of which is lichen and moss, and parasitic plants crawling all over the trunk.

Amidst the lush greenery, a white figure stood there, ethereal and otherworldly, like an elf in the forest.

She has long black hair and a sweet smile.

There are no words to describe Liu Yifei's beauty at this moment. Her fully blossoming smile, coupled with her delicate facial features, makes her look like the goddess Meng Jiang waiting for her husband to return.

At this moment, the only thing in her eyes was the figure in front of her that seemed to be isolated from the world.

She stared blankly, with only one person in her sight.

Chen Yu also saw the other person, as if frozen in that moment.

The two are filming the final scene of their encounter in the Unrequited Valley in The Return of the Condor Heroes.

"What a nice view!"

Yang Mi couldn't help but admire the woman in white under the tree. For a moment, her heart seemed to slow down a beat. Even from her girl's aesthetic point of view, the girl in front of her, who was younger than her, was breathtakingly beautiful.

Elegant and smart, that smile seems to be able to penetrate deep into people's hearts.

What moved her even more was a temperament that was completely different from the wildness, purity or sunshine of the West. It was a kind of softness and grace that was truly unique to Oriental people.

A transcendent temperament.

In Yang Mi's eyes, that plain white ancient costume was more gorgeous than any other clothing in the world.

She somewhat admitted that when she put it on...she was definitely not as pretty as the girl in front of her.

It seemed like a piece of clothing that was tailor-made for her.

Simple, but it highlights her temperament.

"Finished!"

As Chen Yu was trying hard to keep him, Zhao Jian shouted with a loudspeaker.

After half a month of reshoots, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei finally finished filming the remaining scenes.

"Sorry to waste everyone's time!"

After Chen Yu walked out of the set, he apologized to everyone. Although delays in the crew were common, it was always Chen Yu's fault, so he prepared some gifts for everyone.

There are also red envelopes.

Of course, Chen Yu doesn’t need to prepare it himself, China Audiovisual will provide it.

This time, The Return of the Condor Heroes chose Chen Yu as the male lead, which made China Audio-Visual a big profit. The popularity of The Chinese Paladin remains high, and many people are looking forward to his new film.

At present, there are still many people watching the screen CP of Chen Yu and Liu Yifei.

One, two, three.

After this one, if the two of them act in a fourth TV series together, there might not be that sense of anticipation.

Now, we can gain even greater popularity.

The first time the two played lovers in Tian Long, the audience was astounded; the second time in Chinese Paladin, the love and popularity reached an unprecedented level; the third time was a kind of decline after its peak, and there were definitely some fans who hated it, but the popularity was definitely the greatest.

At that time, that is when the two people will start to separate, even the movie will have to cool down for a while.

Fortunately, apart from "A World Without Thieves", the cooperation between the two in other films was superficial, and Chen Yu only played as a guest star with basically few scenes.

"A World Without Thieves" was released before "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and also got two marketing gimmicks.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei’s debut film as a couple.

The Chinese version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

These two gimmicks are enough to guarantee the box office; TV series and movies are different after all, not to mention that "A World Without Thieves" is a modern drama, while "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "Tian Long" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" are all ancient costume dramas and are not affected by these.

"The last TV series!"

To be honest, Chen Yu felt quite emotional after filming The Return of the Condor Heroes.

TV dramas can increase traffic and maintain public exposure, which is also beneficial to an actor's popularity; but Chen Yu is not one of them. With his popularity, the media will not let him go even if he does not shoot TV dramas.

So a few movies a year is already the best exposure.

He really needs to keep a low profile now.

The Forbes celebrity list was released a few days ago, and he ranked second in China with an annual income of 1.43 million, second only to Yao Ming's 1.5 million; Liu Xiang and Zhang Ziyi were both surpassed by him.

The most annoying thing is that Forbes, Fortune magazine, and Hurun contacted Ji Qiannan to interview him.

It’s not because of this celebrity list, but the wealth list. Chen Yu’s current personal wealth has already ranked among the top 1000 in the world and the top 100 in China. His actual wealth has been clearly investigated by these institutions.

The company's shares, financial resources, income, etc. are surprisingly almost the same.

Isn't this just putting Chen Yu on the fire?

Fortunately, Chen Yu always paid his taxes in full and occasionally did some charity work.

Otherwise, he would be in big trouble if these pig-killing lists were exposed.

Nowadays, anyone who makes it to these lists has something fishy on his or her bottom.

"Have you found all the actors for your new play?"

Liu Yifei took off her makeup and came out, asking Chen Yu, she was talking about the movie "Mission Impossible - Spyder"!
"Not yet. I'm still short of a young actor. I can't find a suitable one..."

These days, Chen Yu has been asking Ye Weixing to prepare the crew, and the list of leading actors has been basically confirmed. In addition to himself, the male lead A Yu, the villain boss is Ren Dahua, and his number one thug, the guy who has a lot of fighting scenes with the male lead played by Chen Yu, is played by Wu Jing.

The two of them have important roles in the play.

There are several other leading actors, namely Lin Jiadong, Zha Zha Hui, and Chen Huilin, while Liu Yifei makes a cameo appearance for a few minutes as the male protagonist's dead wife.

But the only role for the female lead, the little girl that Chen Yu wants to save, has not yet been chosen.

"Can't you find a suitable one in Hong Kong or in the Mainland?"

Liu Yifei sat there combing her long hair and asked casually.

Chen Yu had also removed his makeup. They would be attending the wrap-up party for The Return of the Condor Heroes in a while, which would also be hosted by Chen Yu.

“It’s not that there aren’t any, there are a lot of child actresses aged 8-11, but they have to fit the role!”

"She's very beautiful, and a little quirky. You can tell she's very smart at first glance, and boys want to protect her at first sight!"

"Like when you were a kid!"

Chen Yu said this half-jokingly and half-seriously, but he didn't expect Liu Yifei to be so arrogant: "When I was a kid... Your request is a bit high!"

"Ha ha!"

After saying this, she even felt a little embarrassed and started laughing with her hands covering her mouth.

"Actually, if you were 6-7 years younger, you would be absolutely suitable!" Chen Yu sighed, and Liu Yifei comforted him, "Then I'll go back in time and become 10 years old? And be your leading lady?"

"Do you think you are me?"

Chen Yu complained inwardly in annoyance.

"Let's go, let's go eat first!"

"I'll talk to Ye Weixing tomorrow after I meet him!"

If all else fails, they will have to resort to the most commonly used approach in the industry - a talent show.

A talent show for movie roles, where a suitable candidate is selected from across the country.

But this is quite "time-consuming and costly". Although there is some popularity, Chen Yu really doesn't want to do this at this critical juncture, and it is not good to be exposed too much.

After eating with the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" until late at night, Chen Yu returned to the hotel where the crew was staying.

Liu Yifei came to his room, and the two of them were looking at many photos of child actors on the computer, all of which were sent by Ye Weixing and the casting director.

Many of Chen Yu are familiar with it.

For example, Yang Zi from "Home with Kids" and Zhang Xueying who played Guo Xiang in the 14 version of Chen Xiao's "The Return of the Condor Heroes"... Both of them debuted as child stars, and Liu Yifei behind them also feels that they are very suitable.

"Isn't this one pretty, Xia Xue? I saw her TV series a while ago, Home with Kids, it was hilarious!"

Liu Yifei pointed at Yang Zi, and Chen Yu curled his lips: "She's too old, she's already 13 years old!"

"Besides, it's not spiritual enough, understand?"

"..."

Liu Yifei blinked and shook her head.

"It's just that the big screen isn't suitable for her. She might be able to carry a TV series, but not necessarily a movie; a movie needs that high-end feel!"

Liu Yifei didn't understand what Chen Yu said.

Yang Ziwei must have had plastic surgery, otherwise this round face would have been the material for TV dramas her whole life.

Including Yang Mi.

Liu Yifei is actually suitable, but she didn't come across a good script.

In fact, for many actors, sharp directors can tell at a glance whether she is a movie star or a TV drama star. Movie stars can go down to the mainstream, but the opposite is not true.

The movie needs a face that is very memorable.

Some people can only play supporting roles throughout their lives.

His forcing himself into the leading male role either backfired or made the audience sick.

"What about this?"

"The age is right!"

Liu Yifei was talking about Zhang Xueying, and Chen Yu also singled her out.

The reason for taking it out is as an alternative.

"Not pretty enough, but her aura is slightly better than Yang Zi's!"

“You have really high requirements!”

Liu Yifei glanced at Chen Yu, but she didn't expect Chen Yu to hug her in his arms and said unhappily, "I don't want to be too demanding, can I find you?"

This was indeed the truth, and Liu Yifei couldn't refute it at all.

"In the past, movie directors could choose their own movies!"

"I'm the lead actor in this movie, and I wrote the screenplay and invested in it myself, so how can I not be attentive to it?"

This movie is very crucial to whether Chen Yu has box office appeal and can be said to be a touchstone film.

"So... the auditions?"

"I have thought about auditions, but it's not appropriate now!"

Chen Yu once expressed his concerns: "If this is made public, won't the media give her the title of 'Yu Girl'? It will create another wave of hype!"

"Haha, that's true!"

"I'm called the Star Girl..."

Liu Yifei shook her head. She found it funny when she thought that the girl who was widely reported by the media was a little girl.

Other directors always cast beautiful women, but this guy chose a little girl?

What if some blind media outlet talks nonsense?

"I'll look for it online first!"

Chen Yu no longer had any interest in flirting with Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei stood up, tidied up her messy hair and clothes, and said calmly, "Then I...will go back?"

"Well, come back!"

Chen Yu kissed Liu Yifei, and Liu Yifei opened the door and walked out.

"No, I can only think about the post-95s generation that will be popular in the future..."

Chen Yu racked his brains to think about it, and while thinking, he also searched there. Chen Duling, Zhang Ruonan, Zhou Yiran... were all alternatives. Nazha and Reba were pretty, but lacked spirit.

The main thing is that they are not child stars, they must be junior high school students now.

Apart from the auditions, Chen Yu doesn't know where they live. How can he find them?
Until... Chen Yu suddenly saw a breaking news.

[Jiang Wen’s ex-wife Sandrine brought her daughter to China from France and dissolved her marriage with Jiang Wen! ]

"Hahaha!"

Chen Yu's expression brightened a little.

Jiang Wen’s daughter, this is suitable!

Absolutely suitable!
The prerequisite is that you have to convince Lao Jiang.

This is his precious baby, praised by Jiang Wen as the most beautiful woman in the world.

pat!

Chen Yu subconsciously clicked on the news. He was not interested in the content. He looked directly at the photo in the link; it was a scene of Jiang Wen’s ex-wife Sandrine and her daughter getting off the plane.

"It's a good show, he looks like he's only about 10 years old!"

"She is indeed very beautiful, worthy of being of Chinese and French descent..."

Chen Yu felt a little jealous, so he picked up his phone and called Jiang Wen directly.
