China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 591 Rejection
early morning.

After washing up, Wang Shu went out to have breakfast, drove to the company, and started another busy day.

He is really busy and has a lot of things to do.

If I wasn’t in good health, I wouldn’t be able to bear it.

The day passed like this. When I returned home in the evening, I took out my cell phone and sent a text message to Liu Yan.

"You will play the third female role. Bring your people from Guangguang to Yikeshu Company to sign the contract tomorrow." Wang Shu.

As soon as the text message was sent, I received a reply from the other party.

"Thank you Director Wang, I will definitely play the role well!" Liu Yan.

Liu Yan held the phone and waited for a while, but Wang Shu never sent another message. Then he sent a message and asked, "Director Wang, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten and I'm at home now." Wang Shu replied after seeing the text message.

"Is Director Wang at home? I bought some fruits today, but I feel like I can't finish them. Can I send some to you?" Liu Yan.

What the hell, I bought some fruit and can’t finish it?
This reason is too lame.

Wang Shu replied: "No, I went to the supermarket to buy some fruit before going home."

"But I can't finish it, it would be a waste if I leave it alone." Liu Yan.

"It's a waste to bring it to me. There's no need to go through the trouble of running back and forth." Wang Shu.

"Okay." Liu Yan.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Wang Shu didn't send any more messages, he simply stopped sending messages.

Both of them knew what the other was talking about, but they just didn't point it out.

Liu Yan was using the lame excuse of going to deliver some fruit to Wang Shu to hint that she could go over and sleep with him.

But Wang Shu is a gentleman, how could he be so depraved?

He immediately declined the offer.

From this point, Liu Yan was even more convinced of Wang Shu's image as a gentleman.

If it were someone else in the circle, they would have been impatient after seeing her hint like this.

On the other hand, Wang Shu did not do so.

It’s not that in her eyes Wang Shu could remain calm.

As an adult young man, Wang Shu must have needs.

Rather, it means that Wang Shu is not as morally low and corrupt as those people in the circle.

In contrast, there are many advantages and it shines brightly.

"Ah~"

Liu Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

She couldn't help but think, if she had been cruel enough to break up with her boyfriend when she moved north from Shenzhen, she would have faced his questioning.

Now, would it be a different scene?
That year, she went north from Shenzhen, and her boyfriend sent her to Bao'an Airport.

Before entering the airport lobby, her boyfriend asked her, "Are you not coming back?"

When Liu Yan was interviewed, she admitted that for a moment she really felt that she might not be able to go back, but she quickly shook the thought off. Not only did she answer no, she also made an agreement with her boyfriend.

Liu Yan and her boyfriend are both adults. They know that if they work in different places and are not together for a long time, not only will their feelings fade, but all kinds of unexpected events will also arise.

That's why her boyfriend asked this question, and Liu Yan also had the thought that she might not be able to come back.

this is the truth.

This is indeed the case in the original timeline.

Liu Yan stayed in Beijing to develop her career. After the agreement between her and her boyfriend expired, her boyfriend waited for her for another two years. Liu Yan still wanted to focus on her career, so the two broke up.

"Ah~"

After being silent for a while, Liu Yan sighed again.

There are not so many ifs in this world. It is useless to think too much. It is better to move forward.

No matter what, now that she has gotten the third female role in Wang Shu's new play, her career can take another step forward.

If she can get more roles in the future, it will not be impossible for her to catch up with the Four Dans and Two Bings.

Thinking of Si Dan, she felt a little depressed again.

Because at the beginning of this year, Tencent.com joined hands with hundreds of mainstream media in the industry, with millions of people participating and nearly a hundred entertainment journalists voting together, and the "Post-80s New Generation Entertainment Superstar Event" recognized by Yangshi TV station officially selected the "Four Little Flowers" for the first time.

Huang Shengyi, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi and Wang Kodan were elected as the "Four Little Flowers".

The new Four Little Flowers have emerged, but she is only slightly famous.

Whether it is catching up with the Four Little Flowers or the Four Dans and Two Ice Girls, there is a big gap between them.

unless
I can star in a movie directed by Oscar-winning director Wang Shu.
Not only is it possible to catch up, but even surpass.

The next day.

Wang Shu is still busy with work.

Every day as long as he turns on his cell phone, he will receive calls asking about new films.

Wang Changtian from Shanghai Film Group, Ye Lin from Wanda, Wang Changtian from Guangxian, Mr. Wang from Huayi Film Group, and even people from Hong Kong Island, all called him.

Of course, these people called not for roles, but for collaboration.

Since Wang Shu made his debut, his movies have never failed.

The only difference is how much you earn.

Therefore, as long as he makes a movie, there will be people who want to get involved in this profitable business.

Under normal circumstances, people who eat alone usually don't live long.

All kinds of monsters and demons will show their energy in various simple and unpretentious ways.

Therefore, Wang Shu never worked alone from beginning to end, but cooperated with China Film.

With the Chinese shadow warriors blocking the way, ordinary monsters wouldn't look for him.

Even if some evil spirits came to him, he could push the matter to China Film Group and let Han Sanping handle it. His cooperation with China Film Group has always been mutually beneficial.

Not to mention other private enterprises, let’s just talk about the leading private enterprise Huayi. The films it shoots are also produced in cooperation with various film and television companies.

Although Huayi has a small number of films produced on its own, the company itself is made up of a group of people hidden behind the scenes.

The kings, big and small, just stood in front of the stage.

Wang Shu’s Yikeshu Company belongs to him alone.

If he had been eating alone for a long time, he would have been unable to survive in the domestic entertainment industry by now.

This time, "The Night the Comet Came" was also made possible by the long-term cooperation with China Film Group Corporation, and it is a low-budget production, so it was able to be solely funded.

If it is a commercial blockbuster like "Travel to Taipei" or "Pacific Rim", it is definitely difficult for a tree to finance it alone.

Admittedly, he could have produced it on his own if he wanted to.

However, he can only produce the film on his own, but there is no guarantee that he will not be bullied in the subsequent review, promotion, release, theaters, and various extensions.

In order for a film to go smoothly from production to release, cooperation is essential.

For example, Zhang Weiping's New Picture, which holds Zhang Yimou in its hands, basically will not lose money on the movies it produces and directed by Zhang Yimou.

But New Picture had always cooperated with China Film Group before, but then fell out with China Film Group and started cooperating with Hua Xia again.

It is said that it is good to have a big boss behind you.

Whether it is China Film, which was established first, or Hua Xia, which was established later, both are big names.

Wang Shu was busy working when he received a call from Han Sanping.

"Are you really not going to the Golden Rooster Awards?" Han Sanping asked on behalf of others.

In 2009, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival opened on October 10 and lasted for 14 days.

On October 10, the 17th Golden Rooster Awards ceremony will be held.

The organizing committee had invited Wang Shu before, but he declined on the grounds that he was too busy with work and couldn't spare the time.

The previous Huabiao Award was not only awarded in Beijing, but was also a government award.

Therefore, when Wang Shu received the invitation, he agreed without hesitation.

As for the Golden Rooster Awards.
It is undeniable that it is the most artistic film award among the three major film awards in the mainland.

However, none of the three major mainland film awards can be won.

"I have so many things to do and I can't spare the time." Wang Shu continued to use this excuse.

"It's the day of the award ceremony. It shouldn't delay anything if you go there." Han Sanping had to persuade him again as he was entrusted by someone.

Seeing that Wang Shu didn't say anything, he continued, "You are the first Oscar-winning director in our mainland. Going there can add weight to the Golden Rooster Awards and can also be considered a contribution to our domestic film industry."

"The problem is that we have so many things to do right now, and time is so tight." Wang Shu pretended to be helpless and continued, "It will take at least two days to go there and back."

"Now, we are rushing to release Pacific Rim during the New Year. If we delay these two days, the release date of Pacific Rim will probably be postponed."

“The longer it is postponed, and the closer it is to the release date of Avatar, the greater the impact on the box office.”

"Unless you postpone the release date of Avatar, I really can't find the time."

Han Sanping immediately refused after hearing this, saying, "The release date of Avatar has already been postponed. If it is postponed again, many people will object. Although I am the chairman of China Film, my voice is not the only one."

"Then there's nothing we can do." Wang Shu looked as if it was none of his business.

Seeing this, Han Sanping said helplessly: "Forget it, if you don't want to go, then don't go."

Wang Shu heard this and immediately said, "Boss Han, you are wrong."

"It's not that I don't want to go, but I don't have time to go."

“There is still a big difference between the two.”

The former, being too pretentious, will offend many people.

There is absolutely no need to act in such a way that does no good and offends others.

The latter is a case of passing the buck.

"Haha." Han Sanping saw through it but didn't say anything.

There was indeed nothing wrong with the excuse Wang Shu used, but he also knew that Wang Shu actually didn't want to go.

Then he said, "Since you are very busy, I won't delay you."

After hearing this, Wang Shu said something polite and hung up the phone.

Just as Han Sanping thought, he didn't want to go.

Wang Shu knew clearly that the Golden Rooster Awards invited him to participate simply to use his reputation as an Oscar-winning director to increase the weight of the Golden Rooster Awards.

But Wang Shu wouldn't be so stupid as to be fooled.

If the Golden Rooster Awards do well, it wouldn't hurt for him to go.

As an Oscar-winning director, it is only natural for him to support the establishment and development of domestic film awards.

However, the Golden Rooster Awards are difficult to evaluate, and he doesn’t want to get into trouble.

The lack of artistry in the Huabiao Award can be explained by the special nature of the government award.

There’s nothing wrong with Wang Shu going there.

But there is no such reason for the Golden Rooster Awards.

After hanging up the movie with Han Sanping, he received a call from Ren Zhonglun shortly afterwards.

The other party's purpose was the same as Han Sanping's. He was also entrusted by someone to persuade Wang Shu to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards in October.

The idea was not to invite Wang Shu to sign up for the Golden Rooster Awards, but to lobby him to be the presenter of the Best Director Award.

The winner of the Best Director Award at the 27th Golden Rooster Awards is Feng Xiaogang.

Wang Shu gave him a chicken.

Still declined.
