Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 64: The Battle of Two Soldiers
"When I first met Director Zhou last year, he was just an ordinary student."

"I never thought that in just one year, Director Zhou has become one of the best directors in China. He is really young and promising."

Liu Xiaoli put down the tea in her hand and uttered this sigh from the bottom of her heart.

"Aunt Liu, you are too kind."

Zhou Qing responded calmly.

The two sides began to exchange polite greetings.

"If there is a suitable role in "Departures", you can ask Xixi to play it. Xixi will not let Director Zhou down."

And when the greetings were almost over, Liu Xiaoli really spoke to Zhou Qing in the same way.

It was not beyond Zhou Qing's expectations.

At this time, Liu Xiaoli came to visit, and it was impossible for her to have any other reason except to ask for a role.

"Aunt Liu, the heroine of 'Departures' is a young woman. Sissi is too young. It really doesn't fit the role."

"I can't let Sissi play a supporting role, can I?"

Zhou Qing said as a matter of course.

As for saying that Liu Yifei's acting skills are not good enough, there is no need to say it.

After hearing this, Liu Xiaoli didn't insist any more.

Yes, it is a bit ridiculous for Sissi to play a young woman.

"Director Zhou, if there is a suitable opportunity next time, you can consider Xixi."

Liu Xiaoli exchanged some polite words with Zhou Qing before saying goodbye and leaving.

Zhou Qing didn't say much, but he couldn't help but shook his head secretly in his heart.

It's easy to find Liu Yifei for a commercial film, but if it's an award-winning film, it's basically impossible to find Liu Yifei.

The girl's acting skills are indeed not good.

Not to mention the leading role, he couldn't even play an important supporting role.

If I want to act, I can only play an unimportant supporting role or just a bit part, but would Liu Xiaoli agree to this?

"I didn't know my mother went to see you. She didn't tell me."

In the afternoon, Liu Yifei called Zhou Qing specifically to explain the matter and sounded apologetic.

In fact, the girl herself knows that she is not good enough in acting.

I can’t act in a movie that would hit the top three in Europe.

So he never spoke to Zhou Qing.

But she didn't expect that Liu Xiaoli would suddenly "backstab" her.

"You're talking about this, it's nothing, Sissi, I had a very pleasant chat with my aunt."

Zhou Qing didn't take it to heart.

"That's good."

Liu Yifei felt relieved after hearing this.

"But when will your public audition take place? My classmates are all eagerly waiting for that day."

Liu Yifei started chatting with Zhou Qing about other things, and her voice sounded a lot more cheerful.

"Soon."

Zhou Qing told the truth.

He planned to hold open auditions once he finalized the leading lady.

Fan Bingbing and Yuan Quan will arrive the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow respectively, so it won’t take long.

But how can I put it? If you don’t open auditions to the public, it doesn’t mean that people won’t come to audition.

For example, Li Bingbing, one of the two soldiers.

"Sister Hua, did Fan Bingbing receive an audition invitation from Director Zhou?"

Li Bingbing got the news from somewhere and ran to Wang Jinhua to confirm it.

Ever since the role of Li Bingbing in "Young Justice Bao 2" was taken away by Fan Bingbing, the two Bingbings, who were as close as sisters, have become complete enemies.

Over the years, I have used all my tricks in Huayi to fight openly and secretly, and my brain is about to break.

However, Fan Bingbing is still more skilled. From 01 to now, Li Bingbing has been beaten by Fan Bingbing almost all the time, but he has no way to stop him.

Who asked Fan Bingbing to be so good at using tricks?

Li Bingbing really can't win.

So when Li Bingbing heard that Fan Bingbing had received an internal audition invitation for "Departures", he found it particularly hard to accept.

That’s Director Zhou Qing!

Moreover, "Departures" sounds like an award-winning film.

If Fan Bingbing is allowed to go to the three major European countries to gain experience, how will Li Bingbing compete with Fan Bingbing in the future?
Wouldn't that mean you're completely left behind?
Especially since Fan Bingbing is currently filming Feng Xiaogang's "Cell Phone", it is undoubtedly the blockbuster of the year.

It is even said that it has been booked as the annual box office champion.

First he starred in this top commercial blockbuster, and then starred in top award-winning blockbusters?
Li Bingbing felt a little suffocated just thinking about it.

No, you can't do this and watch.

Li Bingbing secretly made a decision in his heart. He failed to defeat Fan Bingbing in "Cell Phone" and he could not lose to Fan Bingbing in "Departures".

Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to continue working at Huayi.

"Director Zhou's studio has indeed sent you an invitation, but you don't have to rush. You can try when they open up for auditions."

Wang Jinhua comforts Li Bingbing.

How could Li Bingbing be fooled so easily?

The really important roles are decided through internal auditions, right?
By the time the open auditions come, the opportunity has already been lost.

"I understand, Sister Hua."

Li Bingbing didn't say much, but after leaving, he immediately contacted Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing actually rejected Li Bingbing at first, after all, Li Bingbing was not among his candidates for the female lead.

But I didn't expect that Li Bingbing's sincerity was so great.

The other party actually said that he really wanted to get this role and was willing to perform for no pay.

Zhou Qing couldn't refuse anymore.

People have shown this attitude, and it would be really embarrassing if you didn't even give them a chance to audition.

What's more, to be honest, Shuang Bing is actually suitable for the role of the female lead in the Undertaker this time.

The reason why he chose Fan Bingbing at that time was that Fan Bingbing was younger. After all, Li Bingbing is now 30 years old.

Secondly, Fan Bingbing was filming "Cell Phone", which was the ultimate hit in 03.

By then, "Departures" will be able to take advantage of the rising popularity of Fan Bingbing.

It doesn’t really mean that Li Bingbing is worse than Fan Bingbing.

"Thank you Director Zhou for giving me this opportunity!"

Li Bingbing finally got a chance and thanked Zhou Qing happily.

Then, without any delay, he rushed to Zhou Qing's studio as quickly as possible.

"Director Zhou."

"Bingbing, sit down."

Zhou Qing and Li Bingbing met in the audition room.

After a brief greeting between the two parties, the formal audition began.

"You didn't understand your husband's job and even left him because of it, and then came back because you got pregnant."

"But once you see your husband putting his heart and soul into his work, you suddenly understand your husband."

“You couldn’t help but have tears in your eyes.”

Zhou Qing also described a scene to Li Bingbing, and then asked Li Bingbing to try to perform a scene.

There are no lines, just expressions.

Although it is not that difficult, it still requires acting skills.

Fortunately, Li Bingbing has been acting for many years and has some experience, and he also has a certain talent for acting.

The other party's performance, which took a while to prepare, was pretty good.
