Chapter 391 Missed
According to his observations on the set of "Travel to Taipei", 16-year-old Yang Zi often followed Wang Shu like a follower.

As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things clearly. In Deng Chao's opinion, Yang Zi is obviously interested in Wang Shu.

I can't help but sigh that the world is going downhill. A 16-year-old girl is still a minor and she is thinking about precocious things all day long.

However, he also understands.

Wang Shu is a talented director, who is also young, handsome and rich.

Yang Zi is also an actor, and the identity of a big director is naturally attractive to actors. It is normal for Yang Zi to be interested in Wang Shu.

In the film and television industry, countless actresses have taken the initiative to offer their bodies to fat and big-eared directors in order to get roles.

Under this kind of interest relationship, it is natural that many actresses will have ideas about Wang Shu.

After all, compared to the fat and big-eared director, Wang Shu has more advantages in all aspects.

Not to mention that he is young, handsome and rich, the fact that he has become a "tree girl" and has the potential to step onto the international stage has made Wang Shu very popular among female artists.

Moreover, the fat and big-eared director who donated his body was basically just a toy.

Wang Shu, however, can hope to ascend to the throne legitimately.

After listening to what Deng Chao said, Sun Li couldn't help but feel strange in her heart.

Wang Shu ignores me?

Sun Li really wanted to say that as long as she was willing, she could become Wang Shu’s girlfriend, and even get married and have children.

Is this ignoring?
She pretended to be speechless and rolled her eyes at Deng Chao, then snorted, "Just go, who's afraid of who?"

"Then go ahead, I won't stop you." Deng Chao smiled and teased indifferently.

"."Sun Li looked at Deng Chao's appearance and felt extremely angry.

She said faintly: "Isn't this what you said?"

"Haha." Seeing that Sun Li's tone was a bit harsh, Deng Chao thought that his words were too true and hurtful, so he said, "I was just joking with you, but you took it seriously?"

Of course Sun Li knew that Deng Chao was joking, and she hummed to herself, "It would be great if she was Director Wang's girlfriend. The heroine of this "Travel to Taipei" would most likely be mine."

"I feel a little envious when I think about Li Binbin being able to star in "Travel to Taipei"."

"This movie is not only a big production with an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan, but it is also the first zombie movie in our country."

"This kind of groundbreaking film, as long as it is well made, will definitely go down in the history of Chinese-language films."

"For us actors, it will be of great benefit."

Deng Chao certainly understood this principle. After Wang Shu revealed that he was going to prepare for the filming of "Travel to Taipei", actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong all wanted to get a piece of the pie, but they were just not qualified.

And if Sun Li and Wang Shu didn't have some friendship, it would have been difficult for him to get a supporting role.

He winked at Sun Li and said in a teasing manner: "Sorry, you forgot one thing."

Facing Sun Li's puzzled gaze, he added: "Just because you didn't participate in this movie doesn't mean I didn't participate in this movie."

"I'm sorry, I played a role in it."

“Although I’m not the main character, as long as ‘Travel to Taipei’ goes down in the history of Chinese-language films, I can also benefit from it.”

"As for the role of the leading man, I don't envy it."

"Because in this kind of movie, normally, I wouldn't be able to play the leading role."

After that, he paused and then joked, "But if you were Director Wang's girlfriend, you would have a high chance of starring in this movie."

“Actresses are different from actors.”

"In Taipei Trip, Liu Dehua plays the male lead, so the status of the female lead is not very important."

"It's just like when you starred in Huo Yuanjia before, Jet Li played the male lead and you played the female lead."

Movies produced and invested in by the mainland have always been led by big names.

It uses both big-name male actors from Hong Kong and smaller-name female actors from the mainland.

This is because there are few male actors from the mainland who can support the box office, and only big-name male actors from Hong Kong can guarantee the box office.

Naturally, the mainland is unwilling to spend money and only promotes actors from Hong Kong.

So, it became a model of Hong Kong male actors and mainland female actors.

This is also the reason why in this era, female actors are famous in mainland China, but there are few male actors.

Seeing Deng Chao so proud, Sun Li couldn't help but snort, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked Director Wang to give you the role. Keeping this favor may be of great help to me in the future."

"Haha." Deng Chao felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and then he said shamelessly, "What's the difference between us? It's the same whether this favor is used for me or for you."

"Haha." Sun Li sneered, as if to say, I'll just watch you talk nonsense quietly.

When Deng Chao saw this, he immediately said something funny to make Sun Li happy.

From his point of view, this matter was indeed unfair to Sun Li.

This is because Sun Li had only worked with Wang Shu a few times, and they were relatively familiar with each other, but they were not close friends.

Therefore, in the future, it would be impossible for Wang Shu to shamelessly go and ask for a role whenever a movie is being prepared.

Human favors are limited.

This time, Sun Li used her favor on him.

Next time, I will feel embarrassed to speak up.

The crew of "Taipei Trip" is also talking about "Slam Dunk Showdown" at this moment.

Yang Zi was quite surprised. She initially thought Wang Shu was just showing off and didn't believe that Wang Shu could conclude that "Slam Dunk Showdown" was not good based on just a few words. Now that she knows that the box office of "Slam Dunk Showdown" on the first day was less than 20, she can't help but marvel that he is indeed a great director in his early twenties. It's really amazing.

Liu Dehua, Li Binbin and others were also surprised.

They heard about Sun Li's visit to the set and she happened to talk about "Slam Dunk".

Everyone felt that Wang Shu's direct conclusion was a bit of a blow to Zhang Yishan, and they thought that Wang Shu was being too pretentious.

But I didn't expect that Wang Shu's words at that time were too light.

Less than 20 on the first day
How bad is this?
After this incident, the way he looked at Wang Shu became more respectful.

Facts have proved that Wang Shu’s current position is not a lie, but the result of his profound abilities.

The quality of a movie can be judged by the content presented in just a few sentences.

Without real ability, it is impossible to be so clear about it.

This shows that Wang Shu indeed has a profound understanding of filmmaking, which is why he is so confident about it.

Compared to the surprise of Liu Dehua, Li Binbin and others, Zhang Yishan, one of the male protagonists of "Slam Dunk Showdown", felt uncomfortable.

When I thought about how I had confidently said in front of Wang Shu that "Slam Dunk" would do well after its release, and how I had confidently said that, I couldn't help but find a hole to crawl into.

The first day box office was less than 20
Even if the box office on the first day can only reach 100 million, it would still be acceptable.

The first day box office was less than 20
When Zhang Yishan was on the crew, he always felt that many people were secretly looking at him with strange eyes.

For 16-year-old Zhang Yishan, a second-generation rich man and a well-known child star, losing face was more painful than his life.

Now I feel so embarrassed and miserable.

He felt regretful now. If he had not said those words in front of Wang Shu, he would not be so embarrassed now.

It's too late to regret.

"Brother Shu, here are some candied haws for you." Zhang Zifeng, who was less than seven years old, handed a string of candied haws to Wang Shu like a little adult, and in his other hand he held the candied haws that she had already eaten.

"Thank you." Wang Shu took the candied haws handed to him by Zhang Zifeng with a smile, but did not eat it.

"You're welcome." Zhang Zifeng took a bite of the candied haws in his hand and said with a smile.

Wang Shu stretched out his hand and pinched Zhang Zifeng's face, and asked softly: "Where do the candied haws come from?"

"The brother from the crew bought it for me." Zhang Zifeng said proudly.

Wang Shu smiled when he heard that and continued to say teasing words, which made Zhang Zifeng very happy.

For this role, Wang Shu initially considered Jiang Yiyi, but then he subconsciously thought that Jiang Yiyi would become a bad artist who evaded taxes in the future, so he rejected the role.

Later, when I thought about it carefully at home, I suddenly realized that Jiang Yiyi was not a bad artist.

The so-called tax evasion was committed by her company, not Jiang Yiyi herself.

For example, when a worker works for a company, the salary the company pays to the worker is after-tax salary, but the company does not pay taxes to the worker.

That is, Jiang Yiyi's income was the after-tax income she received from the company, but her company did not pay taxes to her.

Therefore, she did not evade taxes, nor was she a bad artist.

However, after Wang Shu thought of this, he had already decided that Zhang Zifeng would play the role of the little girl, so Jiang Yiyi had to miss it.

Facts have proved that rumors and slander can have a huge impact on a person.

If Wang Shu had thought about it earlier, he would not have suddenly concluded that Jiang Yiyi was a bad artist.

If there was no "slap on the head", the role of the little girl would have belonged to Jiang Yiyi.

Now, it’s missed.

In the days that followed, Zhou Xun, Liu Yan and others came to visit the set.

The crew of "Travel to Taipei" is in Beijing, which is close and convenient for visiting, so we all came over.

On the day Liu Yan came, Wang Shu asked her to play the role of a female zombie.

Although the zombies' faces looked somewhat miserable, they were wearing tight uniforms that showed off their curvy bodies to the fullest.

Wang Shu even gave a close-up shot.

Although it is a guest appearance, it is also a role with shining points.

After all, when this scene appears, there will inevitably be many male viewers who secretly feel it is a pity.

Liu Yan didn't want to play a zombie at first, but it was difficult to refuse, so he agreed reluctantly.

As the days passed, it was almost time for the movie "Lichun" to be released.

Jiang Wenli called Wang Shu and invited him to attend the premiere of "Lichun".

Wang Shu declined the offer on the grounds that he was busy filming and had no time.

The movie "Lichun" is a feature film directed by Gu Changwei and starring Jiang Wenli, Zhang Yao, Li Guangjie, Jiao Gang and others.

If Wang Shu remembers correctly, the box office of this movie was around 300 million.

Not every art film can have a super high box office. A movie like this with a box office of 300 million yuan can actually be considered a high-grossing movie among the art films shot by many art film directors in the mainland.

To be honest, if the director of Lichun was not Gu Changwei, Wang Shu would really give Jiang Wenli a favor and go to support her.

After all, it’s in the capital, not far away.
