China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 288 I only have myself to blame

Movie actors mainly rely on the rapid popularity of films directed by great directors.

Because, no matter whether it is fame or strength, great directors have gold content.

For example, Tang Wei was an unknown newcomer before he starred in "Lust, Caution" directed by Li Eu.

After that, he became famous in one fell swoop.

Another example is Zhang Ziyi, who was also a newcomer before meeting Zhang Yimou.

She was selected by Zhang Yimou to star in "My Father and Mother" and won the Best Actress Award at the Popular Hundred Flowers Award.

Then Li Eu prepared to shoot "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the role of Yu Jiao Long was originally scheduled to be Shu Qi. The agent at the time, Wen Jun, felt that the filming time was too long and delayed the advertising endorsement, so he rejected Li Eu's invitation.

Then, Zhang Yimou recommended Zhang Ziyi to audition.

Li Jin tried a lot of actors, but only Zhang Ziyi was tired of the hardship and could give Yu Jiao Long a larger space. For this reason, Li Jin specially adjusted Yu Jiao Long's role in the film. Only then did he succeed. Zhang Ziyi in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Therefore, looking at the entire entertainment industry, only Wang Shu is most likely to support him in the film industry.

But, this doesn't happen often.

"Time Traveler" was released, and her popularity soared.

It was precisely because Sun Li knew this that she remained silent.

For example, Star Girl, Mou Girl, etc. are examples.

She and Deng Chao are just actors and have no film resources.

What's more, even a new actor can become famous instantly by starring in a movie by a famous director.

She has no connections in the film industry, so it is difficult for her to find cooperation.

Of course Sun Li understands this truth, but...
She said: "There are many actors who want to have a good relationship with Director Wang. It's not like you don't know this. How can it be so easy to establish a relationship with Director Wang as you said?"

Ever since "The Time Traveler", no high-quality movie roles have come to my door.

But he didn't want to miss Wang Shu's network.

For a great director, actors who are familiar with each other know everything about them, making collaboration less troublesome, labor-intensive and worry-free.

When Deng Chao heard this, his expression was slightly startled, and he suddenly realized that Sun Li was right.

Ning Hao was indeed a new director at the time.

As an actor, it is a great benefit to be able to star in films shot by great directors.

Deng Chao's words are well-founded. Looking at the entire entertainment industry, most of the great directors will cooperate with actors they know well.

On the other side, because Sun Li is familiar with Wang Shu, she can be considered to be on the line with Wang Shu.

Sun Li struggled for a moment and sighed: "Let's see later. There are many actors in the industry who want to work with Director Wang. I don't know if I will have the opportunity to work with him again in the future."

Wang Shu is now a big director, and actors in the entire entertainment industry who want to work with him can queue up for miles.

It's one thing just to have a huge increase. Her net worth has indeed increased because of this, and she has also had more endorsements and commercial activities.

She thought about it over and over at home these days, and realized that only Wang Shu could finally help her develop in the film industry.

Deng Chao also knew it was not easy. He said with a smile: "We are actors, and we can only get better opportunities if we are spotted by a big director."

Unless she brings capital into the group and is one of the investors.

Although Sun Li has cooperated with Wang Shu before, Wang Shu will have more and more choices in the future, and it is not necessarily certain that he will cooperate with Sun Li again.

Some are just little-known small crews. The movies produced by such crews are usually bad. Not only will it not help them, but they themselves will suffer from them.

Then, Zhang Ziyi starred in the Hollywood movie "Rush Hour 2" with Chen Long.

This is a very real problem.

Of course, Huang Bo became famous in "Crazy Stone" directed by Ning Hao.

When Li Yu directed "Lust, Caution", it was a drama with color. Zhang Ziyi rushed to act in it, but she was rejected by Li Yu so she didn't get the role.

As for Deng Chao, although he hooked up with Hua Yi, he was not favored by Feng Xiaogang because of some manipulations.

If you want to squeeze into the film industry and go further, you can only work hard.

Then he laughed dryly and said: "So... I just said that I want to establish a relationship with Director Wang. As long as the relationship is in place, he will naturally think of the two of us when he directs a movie in the future."

Many actors compete for opportunities.

For example, Mei Ting rushed to cooperate with Wang Shu even if she got zero pay.

This is a two-way choice.

Otherwise, the chances are slim.

For movies produced by well-known producers and directors, the selection of actors is basically linked to personal connections.

However, no well-known producer asked her to collaborate in a movie.

Another example is Zhang Ziyi.

On the other hand, when actors appear in films directed by other small directors, the reality is that no matter how much they act, there will be few hits.

Sun Li has already realized that even if she becomes famous in the film industry through "Love Traveler", big directors like Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, etc. will not ask her to act.

"I'm just illustrating the truth."

"Whether we can gain a foothold in the film industry in the future depends on our efforts."

"Yeah! Let's work hard together!" Sun Li sensed Deng Chao's yearning for the film industry and immediately answered.

"Work hard together!" Deng Chao echoed, then changed the subject and asked, "We haven't seen you for a while. Do you miss me?"

When Sun Li heard this, she subconsciously wanted to answer no, but suddenly thought that Deng Chao's audition was probably because of her. Her guilt rose again, she pursed her lips, and responded softly: "Yes!"

"Haha, I didn't miss you." Hearing this, Deng Chao deliberately teased Sun Li.

When Sun Li heard this, combined with the guilt and tangled emotions in her heart, her face darkened instantly even though she knew Deng Chao was joking.

She said in a cold voice: "If you don't want to, don't. Goodbye!"

"Haha, don't be angry, I was joking with you." Deng Chao quickly begged for mercy.

Sun Li was still not in a good mood at the moment. She didn't show it and said softly: "I'm not angry, it's just that I still have things to do."

"Okay, you're busy, I won't disturb you anymore." Deng Chao said with a smile.

Sun Li was not in the capital due to business activities at the moment, and Deng Chao did not see her after returning to the capital.

"Well, goodbye." Sun Li said softly.

"Goodbye." Deng Chao answered with a smile.

Two people, hang up the phone.

Sun Li was in a daze for a while after hanging up the phone with Deng Chao. Then she found Wang Shu's phone number and wanted to call it, but was afraid of embarrassment and did not dare to call it. She kept struggling with it.

Deng Chao is her boyfriend, and she was clearly alienating Wang Shu last time.

Putting it into perspective, from Wang Shu's perspective, I was already a little uncomfortable giving Deng Chao an audition opportunity because of her relationship, let alone a role.

This, coupled with her distance, made the uncomfortable feelings even more intense.

Therefore, it is human nature to eliminate Deng Chao in the first round. Sun Li did not blame Wang Shu in her heart, nor did she complain.

She's just blaming herself.

After struggling for a long time, I finally didn't call Wang Shu's mobile phone number.

Wang Shu returned home after a day's work and received a call from Chen Hao.

"Director Wang, I heard that in the new play you are preparing, Mei Ting will be the heroine?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.

"Sister Hao's information is not well-informed, and you only know it now?" Wang Shu teased after hearing this.

"Haha." Chen Hao laughed and joked, "I feel a lot of pressure when you praise plum blossoms so much."

Mei Ting is currently a contracted artist of Chengtian, while Chen Hao is currently the first sister of Chengtian.

If Mei Ting is too outstanding in the entertainment industry, she will be a bit more attractive than Chen Hao.

However, Chen Hao didn't care too much about this, because Mei Ting's resources were given by Wang Shu, not Chengtian's resources.

If Mei Ting's film resources were given by Cheng Tian, ​​then she would not be calm.

Resources are limited, and artists from the same company are often in a competitive relationship.

As the first sister of Chengtian, Chen Hao naturally gives priority to Chengtian’s high-quality resources.

And if Mei Ting takes away these resources, it will be equivalent to harming her interests.

This is also the reason why many entertainment companies are fighting overtly and covertly, and there can only be one sister.

One sister means that all resources will be given priority to her ideas. If she is not interested, these resources will be distributed to other artists in the company.

On the contrary, if there is competition, such treatment is impossible.

"Sister Hao is really good at joking." Wang Shu laughed, knowing that Chen Hao was joking, and then changed the subject and said, "I heard that Sister Hao will star in the movie "Red Cliff" directed by Director Wu?"

Of course he knew that Chen Hao did not appear in "Red Cliff", but this happened later.

At this stage, because Cheng Tian and Ai Hui invested 2000 million US dollars and accounted for 40% of the participation in "Red Cliff", Cheng Tian's actors were naturally recommended to join the cast.

As the first sister of Chengtian, Chen Hao is naturally included in this list.

"Well, originally I wanted to play Diao Chan, but the script was changed over and over again and the role was eliminated. Now I should be one of Da Qiao or Sun Shangxiang." Chen Hao answered.

"Haven't it been decided yet?" Wang Shu pretended not to know.

"The leading role has not yet been decided, let alone us supporting roles." Chen Hao complained.

"Is it so chaotic?" Wang Shu asked following these words.

"Alas!" Chen Hao sighed, "A big production involves too many aspects, so we can only wait."

After finishing speaking, he sighed, "It's not like a movie made by Youchou. It's not just about shooting, but there are no messy things."

After saying that, he continued, "You have invited artists from Chengtian to film. I am the first sister of Chengtian. When will I consider being a sister?"

"Whether it's zero salary or 10 yuan, it's easy to say."

Wang Shu and Chen Hao are friends. Whether it was the premiere of "The Tuner" or "Space Traveler" before the release, Chen Hao rushed to the scene every time to support Wang Shu.

As the first sister of Chengtian, Chen Hao had no need to act like this, but she still dressed up to support Wang Shu, which gave her enough face.

In addition, the two are also in contact from time to time.

Although they rarely meet each other, they exchange text messages and chat on the phone from time to time.

"There is no need to say this to Sister Chuan. I have been thinking about Sister Chuan in my heart. If there is a suitable role in the script, I will definitely find Sister Chuan." Wang Shu said beautifully.

"I just know that when I say these coaxing words, I just don't give accurate words." Chen Hao's voice was filled with resentment.

Wang Shu sighed and said, "Sister Hao, I really didn't lie to you. I have been thinking of you in my heart."

"It's just that your image is too beautiful. In the few dramas I filmed, there are really no roles suitable for you."

"If there was, I would have contacted you long ago."

Chen Hao also knew that Wang Shu's reason was irrefutable, because someone had told her the same thing.

Because of her glamorous image, her acting career was limited.

He said quietly: "What about "The Tuner"? I should be suitable for it, right?"

Wang Shu knew clearly that Chen Hao was talking about Jiang Wenli's character, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Hao, weren't you busy and unavailable at that time?"

"And Teacher Jiang Wenli has a schedule."

Chen Hao knew how Jiang Wenli got the role of the heroine of "The Tuner", and also knew that her relationship with Wang Shu was relatively unfamiliar at that time, far from the level of special care, and as the first sister, it was impossible for her to go At that time, it was just a crew audition for a new director, so I missed it.

What she didn't know was that even if she went, she would miss it.

Because Wang Shu valued the female villain in "The Tuner" more for her acting skills.

Chen Hao's acting skills are average and not enough to support this role.

In this matter, Chen Hao was sensible. She didn't bother anymore, but said with a smile, "What about the future? Are there any opportunities to cooperate in the future?"

"Of course!" Anyone can say nice things. Wang Shu directly gave the guarantee, then changed his tone, and then said, "I just said it just now, Sister Yu's image is too glamorous, and ordinary scripts are not suitable for you. ."

"However, as long as there is a suitable role, I will definitely think of Sister Yu immediately."

When Chen Hao heard this, he was already satisfied in his heart.

She is an artist from Chengtian, not from Wang Shu Company.

In addition, what Wang Shu said was right. Excessive expectations meant that she was greedy and not enough.

However, she was still a little afraid in her heart, and then said: "You said that my image is beautiful, but how beautiful is it? I feel like other actresses?"

Wang Shu smiled and answered: "The fact is, Sister Hao is very beautiful."

"Okay!" Chen Hao sighed.

If it were any other way, she would have taken it as a compliment.

But in terms of the actor's image, it's a bit uncomfortable.

Wang Shu comforted her at the right time: "Sister Hao is very beautiful. She is a rare beauty in the entertainment industry."

"It's just that she's a bit beautiful."

"This kind of beauty naturally fascinates all living beings in real life, but in movies, it limits the drama."

Pretty words are free, and Wang Shu can say as much as he has.

When Chen Hao heard Wang Shu's relief, he felt much better, leaving only a little helplessness.

She understood the meaning of these words, that she was very beautiful and good-looking.

But just because she is beautiful and good-looking, she does not match the image of many female characters in the crew, which limits her acting potential.

Chen Hao has known this for a long time. Nai He has such a face and cannot change it.

"Okay, you don't have to ask me to act." Chen Hao took up the topic at the right time, and then said, "When are you free, let's have a meal together?"

"Tomorrow night?" Wang Shu asked first, and then said, "I will be very busy after that, and I may not have time for a month or two."
