Chapter 740: The Best Man Promise to the Leader

On Weibo, almost as soon as the China Film Group announcement came out, Li Binbin immediately announced the news that she had been selected as the leading actress.

Various speeches were well prepared, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the other party had made preparations in advance.

"Thank you Director Zhang for your support, thank you everyone for your support. In the next few months, I will train hard and strive to play this role well..."

Below are all kinds of replies from fans, such as Come on Binbin! Binbin, we support you!

After a while, many celebrities in the industry also sent their blessings.

Including Huang Xiaoming and Ren Quan, they commented below to support Li Binbin.

Miss Liu also liked it and commented: "Keep it up!"

Li Binbin quickly responded: "After the crew is open, Yifei is welcome to visit the set."

Afterwards, the selected people including Chen Kun, Han Dongjun, Jing Tian, ​​Chen Xiao, Liu Dehua, Zhang Hanyu, Liao Fan and others posted on Weibo and received a lot of likes.

Weibo is very lively, with too many posts discussing various issues. Some people are questioning why Jing Tian is the second female lead?

After all, there is no second female lead in the audition list released by Zhang Yimou!
Soon, someone posted a message based on gossip, saying that the original heroine of "The Great Wall" was Jing Tian, ​​but Zhang Yimou later overruled many objections and chose Li Binbin after some arguments, and then added a new second female role specifically for her.

As soon as the post came out, there was an uproar on Weibo.

“Is Jingtian so powerful?”

"I heard someone in the family is an official, so he has a very powerful background."

"Just look at the number of big directors and top actors she has worked with. A young actress can even compete with big stars like Fan Binbin and Li Binbin. Wow."

"In terms of resources, apart from Liu Yifei, she almost crushes all the actresses of the same age in the film and television industry, and beats Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Yang Ying and other four young actresses!"

Netizens were discussing the matter, but Lu Zheng's face looked extremely ugly at this moment.

At the celebration party for "Wolf Warrior" two days ago, he said in front of Gu Wei that it was not a big problem, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face now.

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng took out his cell phone and called La Peikang.

The two talked for ten minutes, and finally La Peikang also got angry and said, "If you join the crew, you should act well, otherwise the investors will consider replacing or deleting this second female role."

The last glimmer of hope was gone, and Lu Zheng now understood that this was Zhang Yimou's choice and he was powerless to change it.

Just as La Peikang said, the film was kept very closely in mind and no mistakes were allowed.

"Hey, why do we have to use the director-centered system?" Lu Zheng murmured to himself. If the producer-centered system was adopted, he was sure that the final result would be Jingtian.

On the other hand, the crew of "Lost in Hong Kong" has entered the final stage of filming, and the remaining scenes can be completed in half a month.

At this moment in the crew, Jing Tian is enjoying everyone's congratulations and blessings.

Even Xu Zheng sighed secretly. People are really incomparable. It is estimated that as soon as the filming here is completed, the other party will join the crew of "The Great Wall". I heard that he will also have a role in Gu Wei's new movie later. If this news gets out, how many people will be envious to death.

"Tiantian, if you want to succeed in Hollywood in the future, don't forget us."

As soon as the filming of today's scenes was completed, Huang Bo came to Jingtian and said jokingly.

"That's right. I'm so envious of working with Hollywood superstar Matt Damon." Wang Baoqiang also joked.

The two old foxes kept saying all kinds of dirty words, which made Jingtian blush and wave his hands continuously.

Seeing this, Xu Zheng came to Jing Tian and said, "Tian Tian, ​​the press conference said that the actors will go to closed training this month. In the next two days, we will focus on your last few scenes and give you a few days to rest."

Jingtian naturally knew that the training time for the actors of "The Great Wall" was not short, it was several months.

After receiving the notice to join the crew, Jing Tian was worrying about how to ask for early completion of the filming, but he didn't expect Xu Zheng to solve his worries in advance.

"Ah, thank you Director Xu, I'm sorry for bothering you during this period of time." Jingtian immediately stood up and said.

"It's okay. If you have time, come to the wrap-up party. If you don't have time, we understand."

Xu Zheng also read the post online. Regardless of whether it was true or not, at least the beautiful girl in front of him was not someone he could afford to offend.

Hearing this, the other members of the crew appeared calm on the surface, but they were secretly impressed. In all the days they had been on the crew, they had never seen Xu Zheng be so polite to any actor. Wow!
.........

The matter of "The Great Wall" will probably be on the headlines for a long time.

After all, it has taken so long, and the reporters will definitely not stop until they have had enough time.

Many people don’t know what the chosen leading actors are doing now;

But fans of the actors who auditioned but were unsuccessful have already started making waves online.

Especially Lu Han and Wang Junkai, their huge fan base collectively complained about the selection of "The Great Wall" online, and published various comments and posts.

"You didn't choose my brother? You didn't even go to see the movie when it was released, ugh!"

"That's right, why don't you choose my brother? Who the hell is Chen Xiao? How can he be compared with my brother?" "It's a farce. We have no problem with choosing a few veteran actors, but Han Dongjun, Chen Xiao, Jing Tian and others all have good relationships with Xingchen Films. It's obvious that there is something shady about the casting and audition."

"There was no second female lead during the audition, but now one pops up. Isn't it just a matter of background? What a rubbish movie!!"

The arrogance of extreme fans angered fans of Han Dongjun, Jing Tian and others.

"Lu Han is qualified to act in a Hollywood blockbuster? He can't even speak his lines clearly, so he'd better not embarrass himself."

"Don't even mention that dung boy. He's a piece of trash. He should go back to school for a few years."

Fans and netizens are still hotly discussing the casting results of "The Great Wall", pulling each other down and attacking each other, with the purpose of standing up for their own idols. I just don't know whether the brothers will share the money they make with these brainless fans.

Gu Wei, on the other hand, met Huang Xiaoming, who had made an appointment with him in private.

As soon as the two met, Gu Wei handed over the wedding invitation. As the wedding date was getting closer, he now carried a large number of wedding invitations in his car. When he saw someone on the list, he would give them to the other party first to avoid having to send them one by one later.

"Haha, congratulations to Director Gu for getting his beautiful wife. On the 26th, yes, I will be there on time."

"Not only do you have to come on time, but you can also be my best man if you are free?" Gu Wei has also been considering the best man position recently. Huang Xiaoming, Han Dongjun, Chen Xiao, Qin Hao, and Hu Ge are all within his consideration.

However, Han Dongjun and Chen Xiao will definitely be training with the "The Great Wall" crew at that time. This is just a preliminary list.

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoming's face lit up and he blurted out, "Great, being able to be Director Gu's best man is something that people in the industry can't get even if they try their best. Hahahaha."

Gu Wei pointed at Huang Xiaoming and said, "Haha, okay, it's settled. It's all up to you to handle the wedding reception."

"No problem, Director Gu ordered me to do it, I will definitely do it."

The two chatted for a while before Huang Xiaoming told them the purpose of his visit. "Director Gu, when will your new movie start shooting?"

"After the New Year." Gu Wei took a sip of tea and then said, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the schedule?"

Hearing this, Huang Xiaoming waved his hands repeatedly, "The schedule is fine, it's just that Bo Na's "Legend of the Gods" invited me and wanted me to join and play a role."

"The protagonist?" Gu Weiduo asked. If he was really the protagonist, he would not intend to stop the other party. After all, it was a special effects blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions.

"No, I just played an important role, not the protagonist." Huang Xiaoming shook his head.

"The Legend of Conferred Gods" has been inviting Huang Xiaoming these days, and based on the shooting time mentioned by the other party, it is very likely that it will conflict with Gu Wei's new movie, so after repeated consideration, the leader finally found Gu Wei.

"Oh, not the protagonist, then what do you think?" Gu Wei asked back.

"Of course I want to act in your movie, Director Gu." The leader immediately replied affirmatively.

"Well, let me talk about my movie first. Actually, there is no absolute protagonist or supporting role..."

"Group portrait?" Huang Xiaoming suddenly became excited.

"Yes, and I am currently communicating with Leonardo and Denzel Washington, and they may also join."

"Shit." Huang Xiaoming complained in his mind. He had to admit that this was explosive news. If it were leaked, it would definitely attract more attention than "The Great Wall".

At this moment, the leader has already ruled out "The Legend of Conferred Gods" in his mind. Not to mention just being an important role, even being the protagonist cannot compare with this movie.

"It seems that I came to the right place today." Huang Xiaoming thought silently in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.

Gu Wei, who was sitting opposite, understood the other party's psychology the moment he saw the change of expression on the leader's face.

But I should indeed make a promise to the actors I have chosen. After all, dragging it out is not good for both parties.

"Xiao Ming, I can't promise you that he will be the male lead, but he will definitely play an important role. As for how to choose, you can decide for yourself."

"Also, there will be a press conference for the new movie in two days, and more details will be announced then."

As soon as the words fell, Huang Xiaoming nodded solemnly, "I understand, Director."

...

Huang Xiaoming could still restrain himself when he was face to face with Gu Wei, but after returning home and seeing his young model girlfriend, the leader could not help himself.

"What's wrong?" Yang Ying asked in confusion as she looked at her boyfriend who was touching her all over.

"Haha, good news, very good news." Huang Xiaoming laughed non-stop while hugging his girlfriend's slender waist.

Yang Ying knew her boyfriend's status in the circle. If he could call it a good thing, it must be no small matter. Maybe she could get some benefits. Thinking of this, she immediately asked, "What good thing is it? Tell me."

"I can't tell you now. You'll know in two days." Huang Xiaoming remembered that Gu Wei had said to keep it confidential, so he didn't tell it directly even to his girlfriend.

When he got up to take a shower, Yang Ying was thinking about using that new position and then getting her boyfriend to say it out loud.
