Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 118 Sister, is this what the Central Academy of Drama teaches you?
"Mom! Did you hear that?"

"The senior wants to bully you!"

"He also asked me to convince you, otherwise he would continue to bully me!"

What a fucking thing! He called me a fucking thing, what a filial son!

When Liu Yifei shouted, the living room suddenly became quiet.

Zhen Jiecheng and Aunt Liu's faces were frozen, and Shu Chang was stunned.

And what about Liu Yifei? She continued to output without noticing that her own mother was already displeased. She was staring at her angrily, wishing she could put her back in the furnace and retrain her.

First glare at the silly girl, then glare at Zhen Jiecheng.

Aunt Liu was furious, but ultimately she could do nothing but change the subject.

"Ahem, Sissi, Jiecheng was just joking, did you take it seriously?"

"By the way, Jie Cheng, how are the preparations for your new film project going?"

"The location selection has been completed, and Brother Chen Long is helping with the construction and renovation." Zhen Jiecheng grabbed the fruit plate in front of Liu Yifei, which was full of mango flesh and watermelon that she had picked out.

Under Liu Yifei's frowning gaze, he continued to talk while chewing happily:
"The script has been sent to several potential actors. We will go to Hong Kong to arrange auditions after the Spring Festival, and then we will start filming."

"Oh? Have the actors been decided?" Aunt Liu said with a hint of regret.

"No! Only a few roles have been designated, and the others will be dealt with later."

"Auntie, can I ask which actors are there?"

"Of course! This is not something that needs to be kept secret." Zhen Jiecheng nodded, "Liang Jiahui, Wu Zhengyu, Weng Hong."

Liang Jiahui is a versatile actor, but he is also one of the few actors in Hong Kong who lives a low-key life, does not get involved in the gossips in the entertainment industry, and works hard.

Zhen Jiecheng has wanted to cooperate with him for a long time!
Just based on the fact that he insisted on coming to the mainland to act despite the threat of a ban in Taiwan and refused to write a letter of repentance, Zhen Jiecheng must give him enough respect.

He is very suitable to play the role of the father of a poor family in "Parasite"!
The roles Wu Zhengyu and Weng Hong received were the couple who owned the villa.

Although there are no nude scenes, physical contact is inevitable. The scenes that are not exposed are even more exciting and attractive than most exposed films.

Not every famous actress is willing to accept this, even in Hong Kong, where the culture is open.

Of course, the most fundamental reason is that her role is not important and she is not the heroine.

For example, in "The Peacock" which just won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival some time ago, after Senior Brother Gu indicated that she could keep one pair of underwear, Zhang Jingchu took off all her clothes without saying a word, sticking out her big white butt.

Not only does she take off her clothes in the play, she also takes off her clothes outside of the play.

Don’t ask, the answer is dedicating oneself to art!
But if it’s “Parasite” and an unimportant role, how many famous actors would be willing to sacrifice for it?

Although there are many young girls who are willing to risk their lives to get ahead, this role has an age requirement, and you have to be at least 35 years old!
Due to many restrictions, Zhen Jiecheng does not have many options.

Weng Hong, who has performed many large-scale performances and has a gentle appearance and soft temperament, became one of the best choices.

Oh, by the way, her marriage had just broken down and she was in a period of relaxation.

Wow, that’s even better!
Zhen Jiecheng was still proud of his unique vision, but Aunt Liu's eyes were becoming more and more yearning.

It’s okay for Weng Hong.

Wu Zhengyu, Best Supporting Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards, nominated for Best Actor, and won the Best Actor at the Taiwan Golden Donkey Awards.

Tony Leung is even more amazing, having won both the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actor, as well as countless other awards and honors!
If my daughter can work with these outstanding actors, I'm sure she will be able to improve her acting skills, right?
Oh yes, there is also Jie Cheng’s personal guidance!
Aunt Liu didn't consider the qualifications of excellent works, the channels from the screen to the big screen, the contact with the Hong Kong circle, or even further familiarity with the connections and capital, so as to have an additional resource channel.

No! Nothing at all!

It’s all about art!

I just wanted to pursue art!
I felt Aunt Liu's gaze, which was so hot and sticky.

Not to mention Zhen Jiecheng, even the big fool noticed that something was wrong.

"mom,"

"Don't call me mom!" Aunt Liu didn't even look at her daughter.

"mom!"

"I'm not your mother, you're my mother!"

"Mom~"

"Okay, okay, you two shouldn't recognize each other as your mother!" Zhen Jiecheng really wanted to say, why don't you both just recognize me as your uncle.

But considering the moral qualities, I didn't say it out loud.

"Auntie, I won't hide anything from you."

“This movie will indeed find some young actors.”

"In addition to the role of the couple's daughter played by Wu Zhengyu and Weng Hong, which I told you about last time, there is also a female lead, and we will also look for a young actress around 20 years old."

"You don't need to think about the latter. Sissi's acting skills are far from good!"

"The former is indeed suitable for Sissi, a rich girl, naive, and stupid."

"I'm not stupid. Why do you say it's suitable for me?" Liu Yifei was unhappy. "It's obviously not suitable for me!"

"Shut up!" Zhen Jiecheng and Aunt Liu said in unison.

"Auntie, let me continue."

"Jie Cheng, go on."

When their eyes met, a tacit understanding was born.

Aunt Liu blushed slightly, and the big fool's eyes widened.

"Mom, Senior, you two."

"Shut up! Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

This time Zhen Jiecheng didn't say anything, and Aunt Liu suppressed the situation alone.

"Ahem, let me continue."

"Although the acting skills are not very demanding, the basic standards are still required. For example, the positioning and simple emotional expression."

"Shy, jealous, excited, happy, hostile, etc."

"And kissing, of course."

"If it's just a kiss, Xixi didn't ask, emmm," Aunt Liu hesitated and continued, "If you, Jiecheng, direct and act it yourself, then there's no problem!"

"Anyway, you and Sissi already kissed in The Return of the Condor Heroes, so you don't mind kissing again!"

"Mom~"

Hearing this, Liu Yifei could no longer hold back, especially when facing Shu Chang's change from surprise to curiosity, and then to a wink and a meaningful smile!
"Auntie, how could you think that?"

"I've already been abused by Xixi once, and you actually want me to sacrifice myself a second time?"

Unless you and Xixi act together, replacing Weng Hong, and play the mother and daughter in "Parasite" in their true colors. Then I will direct and act in it myself, using makeup techniques to dress up as middle-aged and replace Wu Zhengyu.

Zhen Jiecheng swore that it was not his intention to rub or grab it.

Art! Purely for artistic pursuits!

At the age of 22, playing a 42-year-old, this is called breaking through oneself and challenging the peak!
"Ruin? Senior, you are being unreasonable. That was my first screen kiss." Liu Yifei protested.

"You are, so why am I not?" Zhen Jiecheng retorted.

"But this is different. Besides the screen, this is also my first kiss!"

"Come on! I don't know when you lost your first kiss. If you don't believe me, ask your mom how many times you were bitten by someone when you were a kid."

"Things from childhood don't count!" Liu Yifei pouted again.

"You just say it's over?"

"But I'm a girl, so I should be the one to make the sacrifice."

"Bullshit! If we talk about gender equality, I have a share of sacrifice. If we talk about ladies first, I have a share of sacrifice. No matter what, sacrifice is always on me."

"What's wrong with girls? Girls have athlete's foot even when they take off their socks, and they have bad breath even when they get up."

"I just don't believe that a girl has never farted in bed, never smelled it after farting, and never lifted her blanket after smelling it."

"Wait, you're not going to let your fart ferment under the covers, are you?"

"I" Liu Yifei was dumbfounded, "Of course I didn't!"

"Oh! That shows you are quite hygienic." Zhen Jiecheng gave a thumbs up in appreciation, "Remember not only to lift the quilt to fart, but also open the window for ventilation."

"I ah ah ah!" Liu Yifei collapsed, "Mom, look at my senior, he always bullies me!"

"Don't call me, I won't look, it's useless even if I look!" Aunt Liu shook her head and looked at Zhen Jiecheng, "Jiecheng."

"Okay, Auntie, you don't have to say more, I understand." Zhen Jiecheng finally nodded, "Let Xixi wait for notification when the time comes!"

"But I have to be frank. Although the acting requirements are not high, Sissi still has to go through the same process and must pass the audition."

"I'll send you the plot involving this character later. If she fails the open-book exam, I won't give her a backdoor."

"By the way, this role doesn't have many scenes. And this is an art film, so the investment is not high. So the salary is probably only equivalent to the guest appearance salary of a normal commercial film."

"Don't worry, Jiecheng, I understand!" Aunt Liu smiled happily, "Thank you, Jiecheng, I feel much more relieved knowing that Xixi has you taking care of her."

"You're welcome! After all, I'm Xixi's senior. Isn't it normal to take care of your own people?"

The atmosphere suddenly became heated.

Liu Yifei was still embarrassed, but Aunt Liu was full of enthusiasm.

On the contrary, Shu Chang, as a bystander, even though she was a fool, actually figured out that something was wrong.

Not many scenes? Not high acting requirements?

It really suits Sissi!

But now that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is on the air, Sissi's popularity is getting higher and higher.

Even if such a role comes from an award-winning art film, it is only a supporting role, so there is no way to say "thank you", right?
Especially since it’s a cameo appearance and there’s a kissing scene!
Not only that, with Sissi's participation, this art film is likely to also reap rewards in the box office market.

After all, the fans of The Legend of Sword and Fairy in the forum, especially the game players, were so loyal that Shu Chang was amazed.

This art film can definitely use Sissi as one of its promotional points to attract Sissi fans to the cinema. Thinking of this, Shu Chang felt more and more that something was wrong.

The party who takes advantage is being reserved, while the party who is taken advantage of is expressing thanks.

hiss!
It’s against Tiangang!

"What do you mean by rebellion? You silly girl!"

After Zhen Jiecheng left, Shu Chang finally couldn't help but ask.

This made Aunt Liu speechless, and she reached out and touched Shu Chang's forehead.

"No wonder you and Xixi have such a good relationship. You two are really stupid together. How can you not get along well?"

"Mom~" the big fool started shouting again.

"Shut up!" Aunt Liu covered her head and felt her scalp tingling.

Let out a long sigh,
"Ugh!"

"I'll just give you two a brief analysis to save you two from being stupid."

"According to what you said, Changchang, it is indeed Jiecheng who took advantage. But the screen is the screen, and the screen is the screen. After all, they are different!"

"There are many people who want Jiecheng to take advantage of this, and they wish Jiecheng could take more advantage."

"So Jiecheng was willing to take advantage of me and Xixi, but it was me and Xixi who took advantage."

"Emmm, isn't what I said a bit confusing?" Aunt Liu was clever for once, but as she spoke, she confused herself and began to get confused.

"No need to beat around the bush, I understand!" Shu Chang patted her chest, "I got over 500 points in the college entrance examination! What about you, Xixi? You can understand it too, right?"

"Of course!" Liu Yifei was unwilling to be outdone. "Isn't it just that on the surface, the senior took advantage of me and my mother, but in reality, the opposite is true?"

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean!" Aunt Liu nodded and continued.

"The entertainment industry is very realistic. If you want to get something, you must first pay for it."

"But the price tags are often false, and many times no matter how much you pay, you get nothing in return."

"Jie Cheng is different! He is a great director with a bright future ahead of him."

"Everyone can see how well he takes care of Xixi, and not just in terms of acting skills. For example, when the crew of The Return of the Condor Heroes fell into the water, if Jie Cheng hadn't told Huang Xiaoming to keep an eye on Xixi, who knows how dangerous she could have been."

"So no matter how much I thank you, it's all due."

After a pause,
"Let's be realistic: If you can get on Jiecheng's ship, what's the harm in paying a little fare? In the long run, you will always make money."

"What's more, the relationship between us and Jiecheng is not just based on reality, but also on reality."

"We will continue to do this in the future!"

Speaking of this, Aunt Liu felt extremely complicated.

I originally thought that after two years, I would no longer be spied on.

Who would have thought that Zhen Jiecheng's trip to Hong Kong would cause a lot of news revelations.

Over forty?

There are!
Aunt Liu specially collected relevant lists and even checked the recent appearance of the female stars on the list.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Aunt Liu has absolute confidence, even though she is in her forties, thanks to proper maintenance and her good temperament.

Not to mention those in their early forties on the list, even those in their thirties and thirties are rarely comparable to me.

Jie Cheng even them
Wouldn't that
Bite your teeth!
Forget it! So what?
It's nothing more than getting a few more stares at you!

Aunt Liu risked everything for her daughter.

Aim! Aim wherever you like!

Anyway, his eyes are on his face and he can't control himself.

Anyway, this kid doesn't dare to get started, let alone go deeper.

Besides, with the relationship with Xixi, no matter how passionate his feelings are, he has to put them down!
"Jiecheng, be quiet, Xixi should hear it."

"Sister, this is not good, it's not appropriate!" Zhen Jiecheng slapped Cheng Hao in the face before he could wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Inappropriate? Then why does it jump up and down when I say that?" Cheng Hao glanced at Zhen Jiecheng, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, little head Daddy is much more honest than your big head son!"

"Speak now! Tell the truth!"

"When I was a guest at Liu Yifei's house today, where did you look at Auntie? Do you want me to imitate Auntie's posture?"

"Sister, please behave yourself!" Zhen Jiecheng slapped her again.

"I won't! I won't!" Cheng Hao felt the pain and turned over.

"Not only am I not a human being, I also plan to customize a real-life version of Sissi using a dummy!"

"Hehe! How about I put it in the living room then?"

"Then I took some of Sissi's interviews and audio sources from film and television works, edited them and made them into recordings for playback."

"Hehe, why not just put it in the bedroom? Let's go to the bay window and draw the curtains."

Feeling Zhen Jiecheng's growing irritability, Cheng Hao smiled complacently and said in a trembling voice:

"Not only Sissi, but also her godfather Chen Jingfei."

"Hehe, do you still think it's inappropriate now?"

"You" Zhen Jiecheng yelled hoarsely with red eyes and gritted teeth.

"Sister! You are an outstanding student of the Central Academy of Drama. Is this all the Central Academy of Drama taught you?"

"Yes!" Cheng Hao blurted out without thinking, "If an actor wants to perform well, he must find ways to feel involved in the play."

“Be good at observation and diligent in imitating. This includes but is not limited to intonation, word choice, expression, and form.”

"We need to grasp the details and develop new ideas. This includes but is not limited to prop arrangement, scene design, and identity integration."

"Even though I'm no longer an actress, I've never given up my basic skills!"

As he spoke, he leaned down.

"Jie Cheng, come on."

"I want to give Sissi a companion!"

hiss!
I can't control it anymore!
He hugged Cheng Hao and struggled to get up.

"What are you doing?"

"Go to the bay window!"

Zhen Jiecheng was breathing heavily, and he worked hard without saying a word amid the sporadic laughter caused by Cheng Hao's trembling voice.

"Bah! You tore the curtains, couldn't you be more careful?"

Zhen Jiecheng was lying on the sofa, enjoying the pleasure of a cigarette after sex, while Cheng Hao cleaned up and tidied the room after a brief rest.

"Sister, Aunt Liu told me privately that she wants to sign Xixi to me."

"Wait! Isn't she doing a hot job with Tangren and Huayi? Why does she want to sign with our company again?" Cheng Hao asked puzzledly.

"Yes! So she wasn't talking about the present, but the future."

"Oh! I understand. Tangren has a small business, while Huayi has many problems. But Tangren can help Liu Yifei stabilize her base, and Huayi can provide more resources. So she wants to wait until Liu Yifei has established herself as a celebrity before signing with us."

Zhen Jiecheng was stunned by Cheng Hao’s analysis.

Wow! So smart?
"Tsk, what's that look in your eyes? You still think I'm still the silly girl I was back then! I'll grow up, too!"

Cheng Hao rolled his eyes.
"Just because I don't tell you something doesn't mean I don't know it!"

Damn it! You still want to blow me up?
"For example, the matter of Fan Bingbing!"

Damn! Are you serious?
"Fan Bingbing should have come to you privately, right?"

"Yes! She did look for you!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded, his face calm, and even asked, "Didn't she look for you?"

Seeing this, Cheng Hao put away his scrutinizing gaze and smiled again.

"She did! Not only did she look for me, she also informed Sister Hua in advance."

Damn it! This woman, Fan Bingbing, is really brave!

Whip! Must whip!
Hearing this, Zhen Jiecheng had roughly guessed what was going on.

So he said confidently,
"She wants to sign with our company. My idea is that if she wants to sign, she should do it before "My Love from the Star" is broadcast. The earlier the better. Otherwise, Huayi will not let her go by then."

"Of course, it's up to you, sister, whether to sign or not!"

"Then sign it!" Hearing this, Cheng Hao was even happier. "But even now, Huayi is not willing to let him go, right?"

"Easy! Just exchange resources with Huayi!"

"Including the film investment share, role and so on."

"Anyway, I have no reputation anymore. At worst, I can tell the big and small kings that I like Fan Bingbing and want to keep her in my golden house."

"Ah! Doesn't that mean I have one more person to imitate?" Cheng Hao exclaimed in a tender voice.

"Yes, yes, yes! Sister, you can continue to be a jerk again. Ugh! Keep honing your acting skills!"

"Wow! You really have feelings for Bingbing!" Cheng Hao continued to exclaim.

"Sister, you have some idea in mind, okay? If you keep doing this, sooner or later, I will even have feelings for Jiang Wen's ex-girlfriend!"

"Jiang's ex-girlfriend? Ning Jing?"

"Liu Xiaoqing!"

"Pfft~"
