Chapter 183 Zhao Yanzi: It’s time for Wang Shu to cast me as the heroine in his next film
  9 month 8 day.

The Hollywood movie "X-Men: The Last Stand" has landed in mainland theaters.

This movie is the third in the "X-Men" series of science fiction action movies produced by 20th Century Fox Film Company, and is adapted from Marvel comics.

Directed by Brett Ratner, starring Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Famke Janssen and others, it premiered in the United States on May 2006, 5.

Three months later, we came to the Eastern Continent.

In fact, the film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 5, and Wang Shu happened to take a look at it at that time.

Unlike award-winning films, "X-Men: The Last Stand" went to the Cannes Film Festival mainly to promote the film.

At that time, not only "X-Men: The Last Stand" went to the Cannes Film Festival, but also Feng Xiaogang's "The Banquet" crew, Hong Kong's "Dragon Tiger Gate" crew and many other film crews all went to the Cannes Film Festival.

These films are not for competition, but use the stage of the Cannes Film Festival to promote films to the world.

That afternoon.

"Want to watch a movie together tonight? X-Men." Mei Ting.

"Okay, I'll come find you after I finish my work in the company." Wang Shu replied after reading the text message on his phone.

"Yeah," Mei Ting replied.

Wang Shu glanced at Mei Ting's text message and did not reply, but was busy with the matter at hand.

"My Love from the Star" has ended, and the next idol drama is on the agenda.

Since he needed to focus on promoting the movie "Space Traveler" in September, he did not set up a crew to shoot "My Love from the Star" immediately after filming "The Witch Suit", but slowed down the filming. speed.

He is currently looking at actor profiles and looking for the heroine of the next idol drama.

"In 2006, Gao Yuanyuan seemed to have short hair down to her neck, right?"

Wang Shu muttered. He remembered that Gao Yuanyuan cut her hair short, which was just right for the role in this drama.

"It's just that Lili is also suitable for this role."

The Lili he refers to is Sun Li, who has a shorter hairstyle.

"It's better to call Lili first. After all, we will spend most of the next month promoting "Time Traveler" with her. If it is revealed at this time that Gao Yuanyuan is the heroine of the next idol drama, she may have mood."

"Although she said before that she didn't want to take roles in idol dramas, things are different now."

"Both Zhou Xun and Fan Binbin took the call, so she may no longer have the same idea as before."

Wang Shen thought for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and dialed Sun Li's number.

In his mind, Sun Li's image is more suitable for the heroine of the next idol drama, followed by Gao Yuanyuan.

"Hey."

Sun Li is currently attending an event with Huo Jianhua, Zhang Guoli, Zhang Tielin and others for the premiere of the idol drama "Emerald on the Roof".

This idol drama is starring Huo Jianhua alone, with Sun Li, Zhang Guoli, and Zhang Tielin as secondary co-stars.

Since it was break time, she saw Wang Shu calling and thought that Wang Shu wanted to talk to her about the promotion of "Space Traveler". Then she first expressed her apology to Zhang Guoli and others, and then Press the answer key.

"I have a female protagonist in an idol drama here, are you interested?" After the phone was connected, Wang Shu did not beat around the bush, but asked straight to the point.

"Uh" Sun Li was stunned for a moment and replied: "Yes, yes, but I am preparing to attend the event now."

Wang Shu understood what Sun Li meant and said with a smile: "When you are done with your work, give me a call back and then we can talk in detail."

"Okay." Sun Li responded with a smile.

"Well, you're busy then." Wang Shu said softly.

"Well, I'll call you back when I'm done," Sun Li said.

Zhang Guoli sat next to Sun Li. He vaguely heard the conversation between Sun Li and Wang Shu. Seeing that the call had ended, he asked with a smile: "Did Director Wang call?"

These words attracted the attention of others, who were momentarily confused about who Director Wang Zhang Guoli was talking about.

"Emerald on the Roof" has two directors, namely Xu Huikang and Wang Ziming, but there is no one named Wang.

"Yes." Sun Li was taking back her cell phone. Seeing Zhang Guoli asking, she answered with a smile without hesitation.

"Looking for you to film?" Zhang Guoli asked again.

Huo Jianhua, Zhang Tielin and others were once again confused, asking Sun Li to film? I don’t know who Director Wang is?
  When Sun Li heard Zhang Guoli ask this question, she knew that Zhang Guoli might have heard her conversation with Wang Shu, and then said without any concealment: "Director Wang said that the heroine of a film has not yet been determined, and he asked me if I was interested. , I said that I was busy with activities now, and Director Wang asked me to call him back after I finished my work to discuss it in detail."

"Director Wang? Which director Wang?" Zhang Tielin saw that someone was really looking for Sun Li to film, and he couldn't help but ask with a confused look on his face.

After hearing this, Sun Li looked at Zhang Tielin and explained with a smile: "The person who called just now was Wang Shu. I have collaborated with him on "The Love Traveler". This movie will be released at the end of this month."

"He called me this time and told me that there was a heroine in an idol drama and asked me if I was interested."

Huo Jianhua and Zhang Tielin were all surprised when they heard it was Wang Shu.

This is a serious director, not a little shrimp.

"Isn't Director Wang already filming an idol drama?" Huo Jianhua couldn't help but interrupt.

Nowadays, Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are planning to go north, so they pay a certain amount of attention to Wang Shu.

"It's finished. Now we should be preparing for a new idol drama." Sun Li answered.

She knew that "My Love from the Star" was finished, and she also knew that Wang Shu now had time to promote "Time Traveler".

"Is it finished?" Huo Jianhua was surprised and felt that Wang Shu was filming too fast.

"Yes." Sun Li explained with a smile, "Director Wang is very good at filming. It is more than enough for him to film an idol drama in one month."

"Not only does he write the scripts of his plays himself, but he also knows the storyboards and other aspects clearly."

"Actors only need to act according to the content of the play and the arrangements they heard."

Zhang Guoli and others immediately understood what Sun Li was about to say, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Is it so powerful?"

They had never heard about this before, and this was the first time they heard about it from Sun Li.

Sun Li responded with a smile: "I'm not just talking nonsense, but all the actors who have worked with Director Wang know it."

"Actually, I didn't expect Director Wang to be so powerful before I worked with him on "Space Traveler."

After finishing speaking, I suddenly realized that there was an ambiguity in the words, and I suddenly panicked.

Later, they saw that Zhang Guoli and others did not hear the ambiguity and breathed a sigh of relief.

“After working with him, I realized firsthand what he is capable of.”
  When she first exported it, Sun Li didn't think there was anything wrong.

But the moment after she said it, she suddenly realized something and felt that there was an ambiguity.

When Zhang Guoli and others heard this, it was the first time they had a deeper understanding of Wang Shu's directing skills, and they immediately asked about this topic out of curiosity.

Since the senior asked, Sun Li did not hide anything and answered politely.

In the evening, Sun Li returned to the hotel after finishing work and took out her mobile phone and dialed Wang Shu's number.

"Are you done?" Wang Shu asked after seeing the call from Sun Li and pressing the answer button.

"Yes." Sun Li responded, and then told Wang Shu about her work today.

The two chatted about this matter for a while, and then Wang Shu said, "I have a script for an idol drama here. Are you interested?"

"Who is the male protagonist?" Sun Li asked with a smile. "What do you think?" Wang Shu asked a rhetorical question instead of answering.

When Sun Li heard this, she smiled and then said, "Then when are you going to start filming? How long will it take?"

"I have a drama to be commissioned around mid-November."

"If your idol drama is also launched at that time, it will conflict with my schedule."

Wang Shu knew that Sun Li would join the team to start filming "Sweet Honey" in November, so he did not ask in detail, but said: "The filming will start this month and is expected to be completed by the end of next month."

"That's okay, it doesn't conflict with my schedule." Sun Li said with a smile.

Seeing Sun Li agreeing to star so easily, Wang Shu couldn't help but joked: "Didn't you want to act in an idol drama before?"

"When did I stop acting?" Sun Li refused to admit it when she heard this.

At first, due to schedule reasons, she really didn't want to take on the idol drama and missed other dramas.

Not only is there a schedule now, but Zhou Xun and Fan Binbin have also appeared in Wang Shu's idol drama, so she naturally has no reason to refuse.

"Haha." Wang Shu smiled, and instead of digging into the details, he changed the subject and talked about other things.

The two continued chatting for a while before hanging up the phone.

As for the drama appointment, it cannot be explained clearly over the phone. The two parties can only reach an agreement first and then meet in person to discuss it in detail.

The next day.

When Sun Li returned to the capital, she immediately went to Yishu Company with her agent. After some negotiations, the contract was successfully signed.

Sun Li and her agent left Yishu Company. Wang Shu called Zhou Xiaofa and explained some things before leaving the company.

Immediately afterwards, Yishu Company announced the news of the open audition for Wang Shu's new play.

"Changchang, are you going to audition for Director Wang's new play?" Jiang Xin called Shuchang after learning about the audition news released by Yikeshu.

The two have become friends through their cooperation in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

"Go, where are you?" Shu Chang responded first, and then asked.

"I'll go too." Jiang Xin replied with a smile, and then asked, "Then we will be together?"

"Okay." Shu Chang agreed softly.

"Do you think we have a chance of being selected by Director Wang?" Jiang Xin asked a little unconfidently.

"If there is a role suitable for us, then there may be a chance." Shu Chang thought for a moment and then answered.

Jiang Xin thought so too. She sighed and added: "The audition news announced does not include the roles of the male lead and the female lead. They should have been decided by Director Wang."

"Who do you think it could be?" Shu Chang was noncommittal.

There are no male or female protagonists in the audition news. This is clearly to avoid the embarrassing situation where a well-established actor in the industry goes to audition and fails to get the role.

"Zhao Yanzi?" Jiang Xin thought for a while and expressed his guess.

After finishing speaking, he continued, "Wang Shu's first two consecutive idol dramas were played by Zhou Xun and Fan Binbin respectively. Both of them are members of Sidan Shuangbing."

"Director Wang's idol drama should also be starring in the Four Dans Double Ice."

"Among the remaining four people, the ones most likely to star are Zhao Yanzi and Li Binbin."

"I guess it should be Zhao Yanzi this time."

When Shu Chang heard Jiang Xin's analysis, he thought it would be Zhao Yanzi, and then he laughed and said, "I think the same as you."

"The male protagonist is Director Wang, and the female protagonist is Zhao Yanzi."

"Other roles, audition selection."

While the two were talking on the phone, Zhao Yanzi herself couldn't help but asked after learning about Wang Shu's audition for the new play: "Is the heroine Li Binbin?"

She also understood that since there was no information about the male and female protagonists in the audition news, it meant that the two roles had been decided.

The candidates for the heroines of Wang Shu's previous idol dramas were Zhou Xun and Fan Binbin, and Wang Shu did not contact her.

Therefore, she subconsciously guessed that the heroine was Li Binbin.

As for Zhang Ziyi and Xu Jinlei, she didn't think they would agree to star in an idol drama.

"What if the heroine of Wang Shu's drama is Li Binbin."

"So, if he makes another idol drama after this drama, shouldn't he look for me?"

"Idol"

"Zhou Xun, Li Binbin, and Fan Binbin all took over the filming."

"When the time comes, will you accept the filming? Or not?"

Zhao Yanzi was caught in a dilemma for a while.

She is now in full swing in the film industry and does not want to return to the television industry, especially idol dramas.

However, Zhou Xun, Li Binbin, and Fan Binbin all agreed to take over Wang Shu's idol drama. If she refused, it would appear that she was not giving Wang Shu face.

The consequences will inevitably make Wang Shu feel unhappy, and it will be difficult for him to receive film roles from Wang Shu.

As for Zhou Xun, Li Binbin, and Fan Binbin, she can't guarantee that Fan Binbin will take over Wang Shu's idol drama.

Zhou Xun and Li Binbin, she was sure, were definitely interested in Wang Shu's movie contract and the top three European Best Actress crowns.

Zhao Yanzi also wants to win the best actress crown in the three major European movies.

Therefore, she did not want to offend Wang Shu's face.

And she also doesn't want to take on idol dramas.

It's also extremely confusing.

At the same time, Li Binbin was also muttering in his heart after learning that Yishu Company announced the audition news for Wang Shu's new play.

"Did Director Wang choose Zhao Yanzi to play the heroine in this play?"

Wang Shu first approached Zhou Xun and then Fan Binbin, which made her subconsciously think the same as Zhao Yanzi.

I thought that when Wang Shu made an idol drama, he would most likely find someone from among them to play the heroine.

At the moment, Wang Shu has not contacted her.

Then, there is a high probability that Zhao Yanzi was contacted.

"If it's really Zhao Yanzi"

"Then, what if Director Wang makes another idol drama next?"

"There is a high probability that they will contact me."

"Zhou Xun made a movie contract with him."

"When the time comes, if there is no movie contract, I will definitely not agree."
