Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 206: A Professional Masterpiece Like a Goblin

After Lao Li sent the message, he reorganized his work tasks.

He didn't expect that Xiao Liu would reply more than ten minutes later, which was a bit slow.

"Brother, I was so excited just now that I almost changed my clothes and went upstairs to your room, but I realized I couldn't get carried away while changing my clothes."

"Are you planning to let me demonstrate my eloquence for a few months so that Sister Bingbing can get used to it?"

"No problem, I'll start practicing sign language today, please teacher."

Old Li, “…”

Forget it, the other party just needs to keep this in mind and learn it carefully.

He quickly replied, "You still need to learn how to swim. It's being set up..."

Wait until he tells you the general setting of the hearing girl.

Xiao Liu replied quickly this time. "Then can I go to the 14th floor to practice swimming? Wait until Sister Bingbing is completely asleep, then you can teach me."

"Girls from fishing families really can't have too fair and tender skin. Seventeen or eighteen years old, working part-time while studying, need to have a bit of roughness."

"You taught me to swim, so I can repay you often."

Li Wenyu chatted with Xiao Liu for a few minutes and then encouraged her to study.

Think about it, it took nearly 4 years, or until the filming of (the hearing girl) was completed, it really took more than years to train her.

No matter how long it takes.

As long as I can be the first among the 85 flowers to win multiple Best Actress trophies in the Chinese-language film industry.

It's worth it.

A box office of over 100 million plus the ability to win awards, a double success?
This will become a representative work of Xiao Liu's career, just like Goblin.

…………

It was around 4:1 am on August 3th.

Liu Shishi, wearing a dress, arrived at the swimming pool on the 14th floor and saw Lao Li riding the waves in the big pool like a mermaid.

She excitedly threw off her skirt to show her swimsuit, and went into the water with anticipation.

A few minutes later, Liu Shishi wrapped her arms around Lao Li's waist and changed the subject, "Brother, there's no rush for the coach's matter. I'll just report first."

"By the way, the new project was given to me internally, which is like getting a backdoor deal."

"When Sister Ying finds out, she won't break up with me, right?"

She didn't want her friendship with Jiang Shuying to deteriorate at all.

But some things cannot be shared.

Li Wenyu said with a hint of melancholy, "Everyone needs a few good friends in their life. As they get older, they will have fewer and fewer friends."

“But the emotional needs will always be there.”

Xiao Liu was confused for a few seconds and then nodded. "Let's have a small meeting first, and then you can teach me the big principles."

She loves the debates with heated arguments the most.

Compared to this, learning to swim is secondary.

After all, she took two or three years to learn ghosts before she passed the test. Apart from scaring her a few times, Lao Li finally recognized her.

And (hearing girls) can also have a learning period of up to a year and a half.

Then she wasn't panicking at all.

People with backing and support are so tough when they come out into society.

She is not the brazen, domineering A-style girl like Jiang Shuying.

As early as when she was sixteen or seventeen years old and still playing supporting roles, Lao Li asked her to eat as much meat, eggs and milk as possible.

It would be better to grow a little taller.

Liu Shishi is not as tall as Liu Yifei from Class 02, a few centimeters shorter, but her conscience is not as great as Dong Li and Bingbing.

It's much better than Jiang Shuying and Xiao Tong.

…………

A few days later, it was Qingming Festival.

Li Wenyu returned to his hometown to visit the graves and pay homage to his ancestors. He just finished the worship and walked back to the RV.

Da Meiyuan waved her phone at him and said, "Brother Yu, the first batch of results from your audition for young actors are out."

"The information has been transferred to your mailbox."

During the Qingming Festival, Lao Li went to visit the graves with Pang Bing.

This is another kind of identity recognition, and Pang Bing is still super happy.

She also put her arm around Lao Li and said, "Naza from the last audition has been trained for a year and a half, and she still hasn't passed?"

This audition of young girls and actors is to prepare for (The Man from Lone Ranger).

We need a little girl around ten years old.

We will still go to South Korea for filming, and the main actors will be Chinese, but the supporting roles don't matter.

When talking about South Korean action movies, The Man from Nowhere is unavoidable.

This can also be considered a tribute (Léon: The Professional), and it's the same as taking place throughout the entire game.

The film grossed HK$2.9 million in South Korea and was nominated for a host of awards including Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture.

Nazha is 13 years old this year. Is it okay for her to play a little girl around 10 years old?

A few days ago, Lao Li checked Nazha’s acting skills (46/100).

This is very Nazha.

Li Wenyu laughed and said, "Let Wang Kai and Jin Dong try out the male lead role together. Their acting skills are good enough, so they don't need to perform too strongly in English."

"It's still Hu Ge and the other three competing for the leading male role."

"The little girl will probably need more than half a year of training, so let's go ahead."

From the end of October last year, Lao Li asked Wang Kai, Hu Ge, Guo Jingfei, Lei Jiayin, Wen Zhang, Zhou Yiwei, Cui Peng and others to start learning English in preparation for the second male lead in (How I Met Your Mother).

It has been half a year now.

Whoever's English meets the requirements can start filming and production.

However, (The Hitman) does not require the original English dialogue. It was filmed in South Korea and the Mandarin version was released in mainland theaters. They have basic skills.

If the Korean dubbing is released in Peninsula, you can just hire professional dubbing.

Which project will start filming first depends on many comprehensive factors.

after a while.

Old Li had a meal at home. On the way back to Beijing in the RV, Da Meiyu drove the RV and checked the information of the young actor on his notebook.

Of course, this is not mobile traffic.

Before dinner and before leaving, I download the content in the email to my laptop.

Read through batches of information sequentially.

After Pang Bing took a nap in the car, he called his secretary and said, "For now, we've decided on three: Guan Xiaotong from Beijing, Bai Lu from Jiangsu Province, and Meng Ziyi from Jilin Province."

"Send them a contract, including asking their parents and guardians to come along for the interview."

After the call ended, Fat Bing was happy, "Let me see who they are."

When she saw Guan Xiaotong frown and think for a few seconds, she suddenly realized, "The little actor in The Promise? This one is okay, not very good-looking, but has a good resume in the industry."

This child star who looks like a girl next door, what about her acting skills?

Fat Bing became suspicious. "Is her acting better than Nazha's? She's only 8 years old."

Old Li shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You'll know when you see it."

He was not sure whether Nazha was really the type of person who could achieve a social leap in wealth just by relying on her looks.

But it’s not a big problem, he has trained the little blind girl to be an actress with great acting skills.

I am still training the little blind girl to use (the hearing girl) to get various Best Actress nominations.

With a few more years of training, Nazha can be trained to become a qualified vase over 60 years old.

Of course, in the past year and a half, Nazha’s school relationship has long been transferred to the Affiliated High School of Beijing Dance Academy.

They are all junior students of international celebrities Zhang Ziyi and Da Tiantian.

…………

February 4th, 6: AM.

When Lao Li met Wang Kai and Jin Dong in the office, he had a few conversations with them in English, which turned out to be okay. Wang Kai's English (48/100), Acting (72/100).

Jin Dong is slightly better in English (51/100) and acting skills (75/100).

It can only be said that these two have learned so much in half a year, but they don’t have the ruthlessness that Huang Xiaoming had back then.

He also didn't have the ruthlessness of Chen Xiao to jump out of the car.

Li Wenyu lit a cigarette and grumbled, "If Deng Xiao, Chen Kun, and Qin Hao hadn't been forced to compete with you, you would have been such a drag on this comedy (How I Met Your Mother)."

When he saw the two people hastily apologize and criticize themselves, Lao Li waved his hand again and said, "Forget it, Dong, you are not a candidate for this sitcom."

"I called you here this time for another project."

"Action movies like John Wick, with a male protagonist, you should understand."

How could you not understand?

John Wick grossed 6100 million U.S. dollars in its first weekend and the following three weeks in the United States, and also more than 800 million U.S. dollars in its first weekend in Europe.

Da Meiyu's pay has soared from a few hundred thousand RMB per film to 300 million dollars!

A nearly hundred-fold increase.

The value of other commercial endorsements and commercial performances also skyrocketed.

When both of them were so excited that they could hardly stand.

Li Wenyu continued, "You two and Hu Ge will choose one of the three to go to South Korea for filming and start practicing moves with the martial arts teacher."

The original male lead of the "Lone Agent", Won Bin, only needed three months of training before filming began.

He was really not worried about the action part, but the little girl and the young actor had a harder time.

Jin Dong hurriedly said, "Boss, don't worry. I'm rich now. I can hire a professional health doctor. Even if I have to train myself to death, I will master the movements as soon as possible."

Ever since Goblin became a huge hit, Jin Dong's role as the second male lead has also reaped countless benefits.

A casual one-year commercial endorsement can earn five or six million yuan, and the film remuneration is also several million yuan for movies and hundreds of thousands of yuan per episode for TV series.

In the six months since Goblin aired, he not only earned tens of millions before tax, but also helped with roadshows for films like "Crazy Rock", "Perfect Stranger", and "John Wick".

He has not taken on any film or television projects yet.

In comparison, Deng Xiaoping played minor roles in a large number of Hollywood blockbusters, and then played a small role in Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster".

Did you choose (Happiness is like a flower)? ?
This was purely Deng Xun falling into Sun Li's beauty trap.

Shiguang Media does not prevent employees from falling in love freely, it doesn’t matter.

After all, the salary offered by the production company to Deng Xu is enough.

Jin Dong has everything including wealth, freedom, a car and a house, as well as a stable girlfriend. But when he was idle and playing various minor roles, he met the big pie of (The Lone Agent) again.

This is still a real big movie.

It would be unrealistic for him not to be excited.

Wang Kai also quickly expressed his opinion, "Don't worry, Boss. Just like what Brother Dong said, even if I train myself to the point of being crippled, I have to live up to the company's appreciation and training."

After Xiao Wang became famous all over the world for (Dark Glory), the only role he took was the male lead role of Wang Jing in (The World's Number One), which was just broadcast on TV yesterday.

The premiere had an 8% viewership rating.

It is 3 percentage points higher than the original version.

The price sold to TV stations is also higher than the original version, which is the added value brought by Dark Glory.

While Deng Xiaoping, Jin Dong and others were on the road, he was still working at the Beijing Telephone Drama Club to improve his acting skills.

In terms of schedule, Xiao Wang has the most relaxed and ample time.

On the contrary, it is Hu Ge. Lao Hu's English may be better than Wang Kai and Jin Dong. He has been in the non-Chinese speaking environment on the Korean Peninsula for half a year.

But the filming of the 40 episodes of 1988 would take several months, and after that, there was still "The Return of the Condor Heroes" waiting for him to start shooting.

From an all-round perspective, Hu Ge has also started practicing action fighting, but he is not as focused and efficient as Wang Kai and Jin Dong.

The male lead in the Lone Agent role is likely to be between Xiao Wang and Jin Dong.

Female lead?
Lao Li suspects that Guan Xiaotong is the best actor among the candidates.

It doesn't matter. The blessing of this little girl role to the actor is not as good as the role of Mo Xiaobei in "Wulin Waijiao".

…………

Another day later.

Li Wenyu looked at Guan Xiaotong's parents, and then at Bai Lu and Meng Ziyi's families leaving for the Ministry of Law to sign the contract. He said to Nazha, "These people are still living in Dong Li's house as tenants."

"For the time being, besides studying at the Affiliated High School of the Beijing Dance Academy, you can just be the big sister for now."

The 13-year-old Nazha has become much more mature than she was a year and a half ago.

She was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig out a three-bedroom apartment from the office floor.

"Boss, if I'm outdone by the new guy this time, should I just quit the industry out of shame?"

"I feel so sorry for your trust and cultivation."

Lao Li waved his hand, "Don't think too much. Even before filming started (Goblin), Xiao Liu was almost replaced because his acting skills were not good enough."

"You are much younger now than she was then."

It’s not that Lao Li is particularly polite to Nazha or values ​​her, and always praises her with warm and encouraging words. It’s mainly an age issue.

As an adult, it is inappropriate for him to curse even when talking to the young actors under his company.

These kinds of education can only be taught by Nazha’s mother and her acting teacher.

One plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop. Old Li's status is so low that he is only suitable to play the good cop to the little girl.

Nazha nodded happily, and after saying a bunch of nice things to thank Lao Li, she asked, "Boss, can I find Senior Sister Shi and Sister Shuying to learn from them?"

"Sister Xian and Auntie Rosamund Kwan have personally taken me to the set, and I've seen a lot, but I feel like they all seem to have freakish talents."

“Once you enter the industry, you can easily adapt to the filming of various film and television dramas.”

"They were very kind to me and taught me a lot, but I always felt like I was listening to a foreign language."

Li Wenyu was speechless. "Go ahead. I'll take Xiaoguan, Xiaobai, and the others to familiarize themselves with the dormitory and buy furniture."

"Let's talk about studying with Xiao Liu when you're both free."

He had just checked and found that 8-year-old Guan Xiaotong's acting skills (51/100) were indeed much better than Nazha's.

Waiting three to five months? I guess Xiaoguan will be the first to adapt and pass.

Anyway, Xiaoguan stayed in Wuji for a while, and he performed well in several child star projects before Wuji.

Unless he gives Nazha a cheat now.

When Lao Li walked back to the office, he saw Pang Bing browsing Weibo and laughing. He also became curious, "What's wrong? Is there something new to laugh about?"

Fat Bing smiled and nodded. "Yan Zi and Lao Chen are arguing again online. She already paid a large sum of money to Wuji Script when she was sued in court last year. It was not a small amount."

"Now that The Promise has begun its promotion and is set to be released on May Day, Yan Zi strongly advises netizens not to be fooled."

"So as to avoid going to the cinema and spending money to suffer."

"Many netizens have come to my official Weibo account to ask how bad The Promise really is."

Lao Li was also amused, "Did you reply?"

Fat Bing laughed and started rubbing his belly again. "I didn't respond, but Yuanyuan updated her status, praising Director Chen again for his excellent work as an architect."

"It should have won a major architectural award, and he even @ed the official WeChat account of the Luban Award for Construction Engineering."

The Lu Ban Award is of course a top domestic award.

With Gao Yuanyuan’s influence now almost at the top among female celebrities?

This is really lively.

Da Meiyu's voice will definitely attract countless attention.

Old Li laughed and said, "Don't let Yuanyuan trigger too many followers. Her firepower alone is enough."

If the crew of "The Promise" can't afford it in reality, there will be a reward for reporting piracy. Without the reward, many ordinary people will be stimulated to make a fortune every year.

Even cinemas can’t prevent piracy.

In the movie section of Shi Guang Ren Ren, film and television ratings are basically given in a timely manner.

With all these measures, it is impossible for The Promise to cheat out 1.75 million yuan in box office this time.

And to be honest, how charming is Yan Zi's version of Princess Qicheng?

None of them can live up to the charm of the original Azhi.
