Entertainment upstart

Chapter 496 Pleasant talk, cooperation
Just like what he thought, Liu Yufei was very suitable for the role of Suyu both in terms of temperament and image.

Of course, in terms of acting skills, he will not have more requirements.

As long as the other party can complete this role well, just like in "Detective Chinatown", Xiao Shenyang can complete the vicious gold thief very well.

If he can achieve that degree of completion, then he will be very satisfied.

"Director, is there something wrong?" Liu Yufei asked with a reddish face as she still couldn't stand being stared at by Zhou Xia for about 40 seconds.

"It's okay, I'm thinking about the character, why hasn't Li Jingwen come in yet, is your mouth okay?"

"I..., I'm fine, I can talk." Liu Yufei's pretty face was flushed, and she always felt that there was something wrong with her words.

"Well, let's talk about the topic just now..."

………………

At the same time, in the lobby of the coffee shop, Li Jingwen just asked the waiter for ice cubes, and was about to go to the box with a small plate, but was stopped by a middle-aged beautiful woman.

"You are Director Zhou's assistant, Miss Li, right?"

"I'm Li Jingwen, may I ask if you are Miss Yufei's mother?" Li Jingwen was slightly taken aback, and recognized her.

"Yes, I'm Liu Yufei's mother, Miss Li, please, I have something to discuss with you."

"But Miss Yufei got burned, this ice cube..."

Before Li Jingwen finished speaking, she was interrupted by Liu's mother: "It's okay, it's just coffee, Miss Li please."

Li Jingwen was a little hesitant. How did the other party know that the coffee was scalded, but thinking that she might have talked to the waiter just now, the other party was not puzzled when she heard it, but she didn't dare to ignore the boss's order. She was about to refuse, but She was dragged by mother Liu to the table in the corner.

After following Zhou Xia for a long time, and Yang Tianzhen often whispered to him, Li Jingwen also knew something about Zhou Xia, and she somewhat understood what Liu's mother meant.

It was nothing more than creating opportunities for the two of them, so she simply followed the other party and sat down with the other party to talk.

Sure enough, he didn't say a few words, the other party just inquired about Zhou Xia's rumors, who was his boyfriend and girlfriend, whether his family situation was as the legend said, what his net worth was, and so on.

Li Jingwen was naturally responding to the matter, chatting every sentence, and simply stopped thinking about what Zhou Xia explained.

…………

In the private room, Liu Yufei heard Zhou Xia continue to ask the question just now, and she had already thought about her words, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing way: "Director Zhou, you are very suitable to shoot the movie of Xianxia, ​​it should be said that you are the most suitable candidate. You are so young, With such a talent, and repeatedly setting box office records, I believe that you are the only one in China who can make this type of movie well!"

"Hehe, this is not the same as the Liu Yufei I've heard about."

Zhou Xia laughed. It is rumored that this young lady is very cold with people she doesn't know well, and she is not very good at communication, but her words now are quite pompous.

"Have Director Zhou ever heard people talk about me? I'm curious." Liu Yufei relaxed a little after listening to Zhou Xia's joke.

Although she is one of the four young female stars in the circle and a first-line actress, she still can't let go in front of Zhou Xia.

Originally, the other party wanted to just be with an actor, even if she was higher than her, but younger than her, she was a senior and a senior, so she could take it a little bit, but the other party was also a well-known director and the owner of a film and television company, which made her have to do her best. should and each other.

Especially when she came here this time, her mother told her all kinds of advice in the car just now. Now that she thinks about it and looks at the young and handsome man in front of her, she can't help feeling that what her mother said makes sense.

If the two can really cooperate this time, it may have a great impact on her life.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just rumors. Then I don't know why you want to take part in my movie, after all, this time it's just a supporting role." Zhou Xia didn't want to talk about gossip.

"Director Zhou, you are the reason why I want to be in this movie."

After Liu Yufei finished playfully, seeing Zhou Xia looked at him indifferently, she had no choice but to continue: "But there is one more important thing, I used to be the heroine of "Sword and Sword 1", and my appearance and temperament are very suitable for this theme. Personally, I am also very interested in film and television dramas with this kind of theme.”

Liu Yufei saw that Zhou Xiayan was back to the subject, and she also answered seriously.

Seeing that the other party answered very politely, Zhou Xia remembered one thing and couldn't help but said: "Okay, since Miss Yufei is really willing to participate in the performance, don't worry, I will try my best to shoot according to your arrangement in terms of schedule. I heard that you took over the two films "Four Famous Shops" and "Tongque Terrace", especially "Four Famous Shops" seems to have started filming."

Liu Yufei was stunned when she heard Zhou Xia's words, she couldn't figure out what Zhou Xia meant, so she hurriedly said sincerely: "Don't worry, Director Zhou, I will definitely not affect the shooting!"

Zhou Xia was just mentioning it casually, but only now did he realize that his words were ambiguous. Liu Yufei probably understood that he doesn't like actors who play tricks, so he deliberately reminded her, and even beat her up.

This is a bit embarrassing.

"Miss Yufei misunderstood, what I mean is actually these two movies..."

Zhou Xia wanted to save the situation. He wanted to say that he didn't like these two movies, but in the middle of the conversation, he realized that his evaluation of these two movies that hadn't been shot was a bit exaggerated, and his friendship with Liu Yufei hadn't reached this point yet. the point.

"Is the director not optimistic about these two movies?" Liu Yufei had a bitter expression on her face, but she still couldn't understand what Zhou Xia was saying.

Now that people have figured it out, Zhou Xia doesn't care.

"Now that I have reached this point, I will not hide it. Yes, I am not optimistic about these two films. Because our company will conduct research on the types and themes of the films approved by the General Administration every month, so as to judge the films that are on the market. The number of films of various genres to determine some of our company's projects.

These two films are all produced by the Xiangjiang production team. Simply put, they are commercial films for making money with the help of famous IPs. "Four Famous Shops" is an ancient costume action film, and "Tongque Terrace" is a historical legendary film.

The former of these two genres is what the Xiangjiang team is good at, and the latter is needless to say. The director of Xiangjiang can make good historical films, but now there are no more.Director Wu Yusen filmed "Red Cliff", you should know what happened, let alone other people?
Therefore, no matter in terms of word-of-mouth or business, these two films, or the consistent Xiangjiang-style commercial entertainment films, are similar to the films that have been on the market in recent years. I personally don’t like it. With any help, the more such movies are played, the more it will do you a disservice. "

Liu Yufei didn't expect Zhou Xia to speak so directly.

She could tell that Zhou Xia was very sincere, and she didn't feel disgusted, but she didn't completely agree with Zhou Xia's statement.

But she has even less confidence in her opinion of herself and the team. In contrast, Zhou Xia's judgment is more reliable. After all, the film and television dramas produced by them are both word-of-mouth and commercial.

But there are some things that she can't change just because she understands them.

Since "The King of Kung Fu" in 2008, the two kung fu superstars collaborated for the first time, and the movie in which she played the main role, although the movie's response was mediocre, her career has indeed reached a peak.

But the movie she chose next, she thought it would definitely achieve good results, but she didn't expect it to be mixed.

But there is no way to do this. Movies are a high-risk business investment, and she is only talking to actors, so she can only choose passively.

Unlike Zhou Xia, you don't have to act in plays you don't like, and you can even direct movies you like.

"Well, "Four Famous Catchers" is directed by Chen Jiashang, so it should be very good. "Tongque Terrace" will have Brother Fa as the leading role, so it should be fine."

Liu Yufei finished speaking as tactfully as possible, but said helplessly: "After all, there are very few talented people like Director Zhou who can act and direct themselves. I am just an actor with limited choices. It is already a rare opportunity to be able to participate in such two plays. No matter how good the opportunity is, it won't be my turn. Isn't Director Zhou unwilling to let me play the heroine? Ha ha."

Liu Yufei laughed at herself at the end, looking at Zhou Xia with her beautiful eyes full of expectation, she felt that Zhou Xia was deliberately provoking her.

"Hehe, as long as the cooperation is happy this time, the heroine may not be able to give it to you next time!" Zhou Xia couldn't help but said after seeing the other party's expression.
