Back to 80: My literary life.

Chapter 755 I won’t let my daughter enter the entertainment industry

The Chinese staff didn't have much to say about this plan. They couldn't just drag it out like this for the sake of an actor and delay the start of work.

Every day of delay means money.

After the meeting, Wu Tianmin and his friends returned to the hotel.

The Portofino Hotel is close to the Warner Bros. headquarters and you can walk back.

Everyone walked and talked.

“In fact, Michael Barnason also prefers to change the script and use British and American girls,” Zhang Yimou said.

"Yes, everyone has seen this. Now let's go back and see if we can find a suitable one." Wu Tianmin sighed and looked at Fang Minghua again.

"Minghua, do you know anyone?"

"Me?" Fang Minghua smiled bitterly. "I know a few American writers. You mean the actress? I have never dealt with the American entertainment industry. As for China, how can I be more familiar with it than you?"

This is true.
Zhang Yimou pondered for a moment and said:
"There is a girl in China named Jiang Xiaohan. In 91, she played the role of Juanzi in the drama "Daughter of the Party" and won the first prize in the performance of the Sixth All-Army Performance. She also starred in the TV series "As Long as You Live Better Than Me."

"There is another one called Guan Ling, who played Jia Yuanyuan in the comedy "I Love My Family". Her acting is good, but she seems a bit old."

"Oh, there is a young actor in Yanjing named Jin Ming, who has acted in several TV series and movies including "Wan Jun", "Xue Ke" and "Wangfu Cliff". His acting skills are pretty good. Let's contact him after we go back and see if he can do it." Wu Tianmin also said.

Fang Minghua remained silent. He really couldn't think of any other child star.

If you are looking for an actress who is around 10 years old, then she was born in the mid-s.

An actress born in the 1980s?

Yang Mi? Liu Yifei, Zhao Liying? .
But it seems that none of them debuted in childhood. Now they are still ordinary little girls, and they don’t even know any English, right?

Forget it, I don't want to.

Wu Tianmin and his team stayed in Los Angeles for another two days and then prepared to return home.

They were originally planning to spend the Spring Festival in Los Angeles, but there was nothing to do here for the time being, so Song Tangtang and Wu Tianmin discussed on the phone and decided to let them come back to reunite with their families and return to the United States after the eighth day of the New Year.

The company just has to pay more for the round-trip air tickets.

Two days later, Wu Tianmin and his group returned to China to celebrate the Spring Festival, and Fang Minghua also flew back to San Francisco.

Today is February 2th, the 4th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Spring Festival is coming soon. I also spent last year's New Year in San Francisco, but my wife and two kids were replaced by Li Li's mother.

This was Fang Minghua's second time spending the New Year in the United States. He was not as curious as last year, but it was Zhou Xuemei's first time. So on the first day of the New Year, Fang Minghua drove his newly bought Mercedes-Benz ML320 to Chinatown, holding his daughter, and accompanied Li Li and her daughter to stroll around Chinatown with great interest.

In San Francisco, the only holiday during the Spring Festival is the first day of the new year. Li Li had to go to school the next day. Zhou Xuemei was worried that her three-month-old baby would catch a cold if playing outside, so she didn't want to go out again.

There was no point in Fang Minghua going around alone, so he just stayed at home. He was not a sociable person, so he felt good just staying at home.

That afternoon, it was cloudy and rainy outside again. Li Li didn't go to school because she had no classes. The family was in the warm living room. Zhou Xuemei was knitting a sweater, Fang Minghua was gently rocking the cradle to coax her daughter to sleep, and Li Li was flipping through a newspaper out of boredom.

"Hey Minghua, the Harry Potter crew is recruiting child actors!" Li Li suddenly said.

"Hush, child!" Zhou Xuemei glared at her somewhat reckless daughter and said angrily.

Li Li quickly lowered her voice and approached Fang Minghua with the newspaper: "Take a look."

It's The New York Times.

Sure enough, there was an advertisement on the advertising column: The "Harry Potter" crew was recruiting child actors, including several male and female actors. The required conditions were clearly written there. If interested, please have the guardian send the child's information via the Internet to the email mailbox or mail it to the "Harry Potter" crew of Warner Bros. Pictures in Los Angeles.

The advertisement was very large, but the bottom line stated that the actress was specifically recruiting a Chinese girl, with the same conditions as above.

If you don't read it carefully, you will ignore it.

WTF! Michael Barnathan and Spielberg actually did this?
Fang Minghua was speechless. Isn't this too cheap? !
"Hey, Minghua, didn't you say it's hard to find a child actress to play the role of Ruifang? I think Ruirui can do it." Li Li whispered.

"Ruirui?"

"Yes, you see, Ruirui will be ten years old soon. She meets the age requirement, can speak English, sing, dance and play the piano. She is a little star in school and often performs on stage. You can let her audition. Maybe she will be successful and become a little star in the future. Ruirui will definitely be happy!" said Li Li.

Seems like there is some truth to what you said?

Try?

But this idea was immediately rejected by Fang Minghua.

"No, I won't let Ruirui enter the entertainment industry." Fang Minghua shook his head and said, "The entertainment industry is not like before. It has gradually become a big melting pot. What's the point of a girl entering it?"

"Minghua is right!"

Before Li Li could speak, her mother Zhou Yunmei spoke up:
"In ancient times, actors and celebrities were all considered to be from all walks of life! Ruirui can go to college in the future, so why not do something else? Why be an actor?!"

"Isn't my cousin also a dancer? Mom, why do you like it so much?" Li Li muttered.

"That's different. What era was it when Tangtang was a dancer in the art troupe? How innocent were people back then? Look at the actors in movies and TV now, how they hug each other, especially in America. I can't even turn on the TV! I tell you, when Xinxin grows up, she won't be allowed to be an actor!"

Seeing her mother's righteous words, Li Li smiled and said, "Mom, I was just talking casually just now. When my precious daughter grows up, she must become a great writer like her father! Right? My precious daughter, Xiao Xinxin?"

As he said this, he couldn't help but bend down and kiss his daughter's cute little face.

As a result, the baby who had just fallen asleep was woken up, and started crying loudly with his mouth open. Li Li hurriedly picked up the child, and was in a panic.

Fang Minghua took her daughter from Li Li's arms, held her and rocked her gently as they walked, and her daughter soon fell into a deep sleep again.

Zhou Yunmei couldn't help shaking her head after seeing this and started knitting again.

While Fang Minghua was enjoying family happiness in San Francisco, far away in an apartment in New York, a young woman was sitting on the sofa, reading a newspaper and lost in thought.

The young woman had black hair and an oriental face. Although she looked a little haggard, it still couldn't hide her pretty face.

The New York Times, which published a recruitment information for child actors.

Although the bottom line of words is easy to overlook, the careful girl still saw it.

Chinese? Can speak English? Around 10 years old?

"Mom, I'm back."

A little girl with a ponytail came skipping in through the door, carrying a schoolbag on her back.

This little girl looks somewhat like her mother. Although she is still young and hasn't grown up yet, she is obviously a beauty at first glance.

"Xixi, how was your class today? Did you understand the English?" The young woman put down the newspaper and looked at her daughter, asking with concern.

"Mom, I understand. Dad taught me English for a long time and praised me for being a good learner." The little girl said with a smile.

"Don't mention your dad!"

Seeing that her mother was a little angry, Xixi put down her schoolbag sensibly and snuggled up to her mother: "Well, mom, I won't mention dad in the future and won't make you angry."

"Okay, Xixi, are you hungry? Let's eat." The young woman adjusted her mood and a smile appeared on her face.

Dinner was simple, bread, salad, eggs, and a piece of steak - specially for my daughter who was growing up.

Watching her daughter eating steak with gusto, the young woman couldn't help but ask, "Xixi, do you want to act in a movie? Like Wanjun in the TV series?"
