Chapter 278 Confident

"There is only one female character, and Director Wang chose Mei Ting. Doesn't that mean you have no chance?" Deng Chao reacted and asked with concern.

"Otherwise?" Sun Li asked angrily.

She debuted in 2001, and it has been 2007 years since 6. During this period, she has starred in many TV series and has become a first-line TV actor.

Now, like Deng Chao, she also wants to transform into a film actress.

It's just that there is no chance.

And Wang Shu is an opportunity.

Therefore, she was confused.

She was also disappointed because Wang Shu chose Mei Ting instead of her.

Although she knew in her heart that Wang Shu was about to shoot an art film that would compete for three major European awards, she would be cautious in casting.

However, given the relationship between the two, Wang Shu did not consider her, and he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Just like Deng Chao's agency, it only has resources from the television industry but not from the film industry.

After that, there are commercial films.

In the original timeline, Sun Li had no film resources for a long time after taking on several films invested and produced by Hong Kong Island.

In 09, I could only take on TV dramas again.

However, after two years of hard work, I also managed to acquire film resources and began to star in feature films.

It was this feeling of discomfort that made her even more determined to keep an appropriate distance from Wang Shu.

Even if he has already starred in "Time Traveler".

Although some film resources have been obtained, they are not from the mainland.

Returning to television.

Although she said this, she felt in her heart that if she had not deliberately kept a distance from Wang Shu before, then the effect of Deng Chao passing the audition might be greater.

In order to develop in the film industry, Deng Chao secretly hooked up with Huayi without telling the agency. When the contract with the agency expired, he terminated the contract and joined Huayi.

However, when Wang Shu treated her in the same way, she suddenly became worried about gain and loss again.

"Uh" Deng Chao laughed sarcastically, knowing that he had asked a question he shouldn't have asked, so he changed the subject and asked, "There is only one female character, what about the male character? Does Director Wang have anyone he likes?"

The male protagonist. Although he has extravagant hopes, he also has self-awareness. However, even if he is not the male protagonist, there are many supporting roles.

Before that, she took on several TV series every year.

Throughout the year, neither the film career nor the music career improved.

It’s hard to say now.

"Really?" Deng Chao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked in surprise.

None of the male roles have been decided, indicating that there are many opportunities, indicating that he is more likely to get the role through auditions.

And as long as it is not a mainland film resource, it means that she has not squeezed into the mainland film industry.

Sun Li regretted saying what she said just now because she was worried that Deng Chao would ask. She was silent for a moment and replied: "How do I know this? Everything depends on the audition effect."

"Yeah." Sun Li responded.

Deng Chao's voice of surprise did not diminish, and then asked: "Then do you think I have a good chance of passing the audition?"

It's just that her film resources are not from the mainland, but from Hong Kong Island.

She couldn't tell Deng Chao these things, so she could only keep them in her heart.

By 08, she had the same development pattern as Liu Yifei and others. After she failed to get film roles, she began to release albums and enter the music field.

"No, Director Wang said everything depends on the results of the audition." Sun Li answered truthfully. After finishing speaking, she suddenly regretted saying this.

Therefore, unless she meets a producer like Wang Shu who wants her to star in a movie, she will have to work hard to get a chance to star in a movie.

The company she works for has resources in the television industry rather than the film industry, which makes it difficult to use.

"Haha." Deng Chao laughed twice and said confidently, "The right way is not to look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. For your sake, if there is a suitable role, Director Wang will most likely give me a chance."

For example, from 06 to early 07, she filmed TV series such as "New Shanghai Beach", "Sweet Honey", "Love in a Lifetime", and "Emerald on the Roof".

Sun Li is in the same situation as Deng Chao. Hairun Film and Television, where she works, mainly produces TV series and has basically no film resources.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case.

Wang Shu is a great director with strong resources and talent, and she has already entered the front line in the television industry, and the next step is to develop into the film industry.

Sun Li was silent for a moment and replied: "Only the role of Mei Ting has been decided, and the other roles have not been decided!"

Sure enough, just as she regretted it in her heart, Deng Chao's voice rang out, "No? Isn't this a role that hasn't been decided yet?"

He stayed idle for a whole year until he joined the cast of "Painted Skin" at the end of the year, playing the role of Xia Bing, the demon-conqueror, supporting Zhou Xun and Zhao Yanzi.

In 04 and 05, the same was true, and many TV series were filmed.

In the original timeline, after Sun Li took over the filming of the TV series "A Lifelong Love" produced by Hairun Film and Television in 2007, she stopped filming TV series and began to transform and seek to squeeze into the film industry.

In comparison, for the whole year of 07, he only played a supporting role in "Painted Skin".

Thinking of Wang Shu's attitude while driving, she even felt that if Deng Chao failed the audition, it might be because of her.

But without connections and resources, there is no way to get into the film industry.

When Sun Li heard this, she fell silent again.

She wanted to say that if it had been before, Wang Shu might have done this for her sake.

It's different now.

If you are small-minded.

Maybe. On the contrary, there is even less chance.

Unable to express these inner thoughts, she pretended to be speechless and hummed: "Please, Director Wang's play is heading to Venice, so the casting must be very careful. Even if Director Wang and I have collaborated several times, I’ve met some people to save face, but it’s not of much use.”

She was trying to inoculate Deng Chao, lest Deng Chao didn't get the role and then wonder why she couldn't even get a small supporting role because of her reputation.

I can’t explain it at that time.

When Deng Chao heard what Sun Li said, he thought the same thing, and then smiled and said: "No matter what, with your face, I will definitely have an advantage over other actors."

"." When Sun Li heard this, she opened her mouth and found it difficult to speak.

"Maybe." She sighed in her heart, not wanting to talk about it.

"How is it possible?" Deng Chao was quite confident in his heart, "You collaborated with Director Wang on "Space Traveler" and "Secret Garden"."

"The former has a box office of close to 3 million yuan. Although the latter has not been aired yet, it is created by the original cast of "Space Traveler" and will definitely become a hit."

"Not to mention that you are already familiar with Director Wang through these two dramas, but based on these results, Director Wang will give you a face."

When Sun Li heard this, she fell silent for a moment.

She knew that Deng Chao was right. From an interpersonal perspective, Wang Shu would indeed give her face.

But things often have special circumstances.

Seeing that Sun Li was silent, Deng Chao smiled and said, "So, with your face, I will definitely have an advantage."

"..." Sun Li was speechless, and could only say: "There are many people who know Director Wang, and there are also many people who can gain face from him." "This is an art film headed for the Venice Film Festival. There will definitely be Many people will try their best to find Director Wang."

"Don't think too wonderfully."

When Deng Chao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this was indeed the case. Then he asked doubtfully: "You have always said that Director Wang is heading to Venice. Do you know?"

It was just a rumor before, but Sun Li's tone seemed to be certain, and Deng Chao was a little confused.

"Yes." Sun Li responded, "I asked Director Wang about it during dinner, and he said he was heading to Venice."

"Of course, he also said that it is not certain whether he can be shortlisted for Venice. Just going to Venice does not mean that he will definitely be able to go to Venice."

"Hi!" Deng Chao answered, "With Director Wang's ability, he will definitely be shortlisted for Venice. Is this still uncertain?"

"So, if you think so and others think so, the pressure of competition will not be small." Sun Li said leisurely.

Of course Deng Chao knew this. What he said just now was just a way of praising Sun Li and making Sun Li happy.

The party being flattered by this kind of flattery is bound to feel proud.

But what he didn't expect was that Sun Li would not only not be proud because of some problems, but also feel embarrassed.

"Don't worry, you will definitely gain more face." Deng Chao continued to flatter.

Sun Li was silent when she heard this, and then said quietly: "I have only cooperated with Director Wang twice, how can I have such a big reputation?"

Of course, Deng Chao knew that Sun Li would not have much face with Wang Shu. At most, it was just the face that friends have with each other after getting to know each other. But after all, Sun Li helped him get the audition qualification, so it did not prevent him from praising Sun Li to make him happy.

Sun Li didn't seem particularly happy during the previous compliments, and he had always been doubtful.

Now when I heard Sun Li say that she had only cooperated with Wang Shu twice, how could she have such a big face, I suddenly realized.

It turns out that Sun Li may not have a very close relationship with Director Wang, so she doesn't have much face.

His flattery made Sun Li embarrassed.

After understanding this, Deng Chao stopped flattering him and replied with a dry smile: "No matter what, you still have some face with Director Wang. No matter what, I can take advantage of you."

"." Sun Li was speechless.

She sighed silently in her heart, not wanting to talk to Deng Chao anymore, and then said: "It's getting late, I'm going to bed."

"Okay, good night." Deng Chao said with a smile.

"Good night." Sun Li responded and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Sun Li found Wang Shu's mobile phone number under subconscious control.

I wanted to make a call, but resisted the thought.

A phone call with Deng Chao made her feel once again Deng Chao's anticipation for the audition.

As the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Shu might actually give Deng Chao a role for her sake.

But now, it's very uncertain

"Ugh!"

Sun Li sighed and finally did not call.

Now that you have made up your mind to keep your distance, you must stick to it.

You must not make any more mistakes!

Absolutely not!

On the other side, Yan Danchen, Xu Huanhuan, and Zeng Li also had dinner together after the New Year.

The weather was still a bit cold, so the three of them also ate hot pot.

Xu Huanhuan and Yan Danchen were classmates. After Xu Huanhuan asked Yan Danchen to recommend her to Wang Shen, the two became closer and closer.

Zeng Ni had filmed on the same crew as Yan Danchen before, and became familiar with Yan Danchen.

Yan Danchen, as the middle person among the three, made Xu Huanhuan and Zeng Li get to know each other.

Xu Huanhuan took a bite of the hot dish and asked at the right time: "Dan Chen, have you heard that Director Wang is filming a new movie?"

"I heard it." Yan Danchen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then replied softly, pretending to be casual.

"Did they call you to audition?" Xu Huanhuan asked curiously.

When Yan Danchen heard this, he did not answer, but asked: "What about you?"

"No." Xu Huanhuan shook his head and sighed.

Yan Danchen also said at this time: "I didn't receive an invitation either."

Xu Huanhuan saw that neither of them had received an invitation, and continued to sigh: "I heard that Director Wang's film is going to the Venice Film Festival, so..."

Although he didn't say everything, Yan Danchen understood it clearly.

There is a saying that has been circulating in Beijing circles that drama schools produce actors and film schools produce directors.

And film school directors don’t look for actors in film schools, but prefer to look for actors in drama schools.

Yan Danchen and Xu Huanhuan both graduated from film schools, so of course they knew what was going on.

Not only did they know it, but Zeng Li on the side also knew it.

The meaning behind Xu Huanhuan's words. Wang Shu invited them to audition, most likely because of their professional abilities.

For a film heading to the Venice Film Festival, in addition to finding actors who fit the image of the script, there is also the issue of professional ability.

Here in the capital, there are not only drama schools with stronger professional capabilities, but also many debut actors with online acting skills.

In comparison, Yan Danchen and Xu Huanhuan's professional abilities are not outstanding enough.

"So it's useless no matter how much you think about it." Yan Danchen rolled his eyes at Xu Huanhuan.

"Haha." Xu Huanhuan thought the same thing and laughed dryly.

Zeng Li ate the hot pot silently without saying anything. She was from the Drama Academy. Unlike Yan Danchen and Xu Huanhuan, it was not suitable to interrupt at this time.

After all, Xu Huanhuan couldn't suppress her inner thoughts. She couldn't help but ask: "Who do you think Director Wang will choose to play the heroine?"

When Yan Danchen heard this, he was quite speechless and said: "There are so many actresses in Beijing, who knows this?"

Seeing Xu Huanhuan turn to look at her, Zeng Li said immediately: "I heard that many actors expressed their willingness to reduce their salary or even waive their salary, so I really can't guess."

Before she came to eat hot pot, she had already heard that some actors had expressed their willingness to take a salary cut or to waive their pay.

But it’s just hearsay, without any real source, and it’s not true.

Xu Huanhuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly said: "Director Wang is directing an art film that is likely to be one of the top three in Europe. In order to have a chance to win an award, it is really possible to reduce his salary or waive his salary. "

"For example, when Fan Binbin took over the filming of "Apple", he heard that he wanted to act even if he didn't get paid. In the end, the crew felt that it was unreasonable not to pay him, so they gave him a salary of 10."

"Even Fan Binbin rushed to star in the art film "Apple" for free. Now it is an art film directed by Director Wang. There must be more actors who want to get roles without being paid."
