Magic Modified Huayu

Before Guan Xiaotong could say anything, Zhang Yimou snatched her phone away.

"Director Wei, I need you, and the crew of 'Parasite' really needs you."

Director Wei: "..." Zhang Yimou continued: "There is currently no art film in China that has grossed over 10 billion yuan."

Director Wei: "...Director Zhang, I don't want to steal your limelight."

Zhang Yimou waved his hand, his tone unequivocal: "I'm the director, you're the producer. The success of Parasite is our joint success. Why are you trying to avoid suspicion?"

After a pause, the Imperial Master began to display his dominance: "Besides, the new director might be overshadowed by you, Director Wei.

Who am I? Do I need to care about this? No Chinese director can surpass me. "

What can Director Wei say?

The national teacher does have a strong reputation in this regard.

"Okay, I happen to be free these few days, so I'll help stand on the platform."

It just so happened that he hadn't seen "Parasite" directed by Zhang Yimou yet.

Take this opportunity to check it out.

Chapter 223: Using Beauty to Commit Crime, the Fallen Little Flower

When Director Wei ended the call, he saw that Song Zuer's eyes were sparkling.

Director Wei grumbled, "It's indeed Zhang Yimou, but don't even think about making friends with him."

Song Zuer blinked: "Director Wei, are you jealous?"

Director Wei smiled and said, "I eat meat. I just don't want you to waste your time."

"Why is it all in vain? Director Wei, do you think my acting is terrible?"

"It's not a question of acting skills. The national director has already started to set up his own studio to sign female stars. There will be no more Mou girls in the future.

Even if there is one, it’s probably only that one person.”

Director Wei feels it’s a pity.

In the past, "Mou Girls" were the signature of female celebrities in the entertainment industry.

Later, when it came to Liu Haocun, it basically became a swan song.

Song Zuer was a little surprised. She had never paid attention to this.

"Director Zhang has started signing agency contracts with female stars? Why would a big director do this? This is not a good thing for you, right?" Song Zuer didn't understand.

It is true that great directors have rarely done this before.

Even the small steel cannon called "Hushubao" actually has no interest connection with Shuqi.

Shu Qi is connected with Huayi.

And the cooperation with Xiao Gangpao is quite pleasant.

That's why Xiao Gangpao likes to use Shuqi.

As for Jiang Wen liking to use Zhou Yun, she is Jiang Wen’s wife.

No one can complain about praising one's own wife, it is only natural.

Tina Tina's car driver Kaizi brother does not have a favorite heroine.

Director Wei didn’t have any either.

This doesn’t include the former imperial master.

Generally speaking, once a big male director has a favorite female lead, it is bad for the reputation of both of them.

But when the national master was in his sixties, no, when he was nearly 70 years old, he resolutely set up a studio and only signed one female star, Liu Haocun.

To be honest, it's hard not to complain.

Director Wei feels that this cannot be blamed on the dirty thoughts of the onlookers.

From the perspective of interests, this is not an act that maximizes Zhang Yimou's interests.

Perhaps it is true that the national teacher simply appreciates Liu Haocun's acting skills and is optimistic about Liu Haocun's future as a star.

Director Wei could only think of this.

After all, at the Imperial Master's age, it is indeed difficult for him to think of anything else.

But I can only say that Director Wei doesn’t really understand it either.

“A big director who doesn’t sign any celebrities is the one that all the celebrities in the entertainment industry want to hold in high esteem.

Once a big director signs an artist management contract, his status and connections in the industry will instantly decline, and Liu Haocun won’t make much money either... I don’t really understand the operation of the national teacher. "

Director Wei does not have any stars signed under his management, so once Director Wei starts filming, all the stars in the entertainment industry have hope.

In this case, the stars will of course support Director Wei.

Even if the cooperation fails this time, there will be another chance next time.

Zhang Yimou also held this kind of transcendent position before.

But now, with Liu Haocun, at least in terms of female stars, the national master can never catch up with Director Wei.

In Director Wei's movies, if the female stars perform well or use some backdoor channels, they have a chance of getting the role.

In the play of the national master, no matter how well the female star performs, she is just a stepping stone for Liu Haocun.

Who will support you then? Cooperation is a win-win situation.

If you cannot bring benefits to others, they will abandon you.

"Not only Liu Haocun, the national teacher also signed a male artist Chen Yongsheng, and specially made a movie for him and found Zhang Yi to play a supporting role, thus giving Zhang Yi the resources for several dramas."

Song Zuer became more and more confused.

"What's Director Zhang thinking? For a big director to do this, isn't this... insane?"

Song Zuer wanted to use some better words to describe it, but she couldn't think of any for a moment.

"Sign a female artist, then sign a male artist... To promote someone, you have to rely on connections and resources. What's the point of Zhang's map?"

Director Wei shrugged.

"Maybe he wants to make money, or maybe he wants to pave the way for his daughter and son."

I won’t talk about the plays performed by Liu Haocun.

Chen Yongsheng's national director also directed a play - "Sniper".

A group photo was taken in North Korea to commemorate the 2022 Lunar New Year. The family lights were dedicated to the most lovely people and told the story of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

To be honest, the filming is not bad.

But to be honest, this play was obviously used by the national master to praise people, rather than as a tribute to the country.

Because the male lead was Chen Yongsheng, who was previously unknown in the entertainment industry and had signed an agency contract with Zhang Yimou Studio.

The other director of "Sniper" is Zhang Mo, the daughter of Zhang Yimou.

My own daughter.

In addition, the last shot of "Man Jiang Hong" specifically gave a close-up shot of the "clerk" Zhang Xi, who was played by Zhang Yimou's eldest son.

SecretaryThink about Brother Kaizi.

Think about the national teacher again.

Director Wei could only sigh: "It turns out that it is better to stay single and have no children, and live a happy life."

It is impossible for a great director to be short of money.

Besides, if the national master wants to make money by exploiting artists, he can't wait until he is sixty or seventy years old to do it.

He was even more famous when he was young.

So...either the national master really appreciates the acting skills of Liu Haocun and Chen Yongsheng.

I think they have even more prospects than Gong Huang and Chen Daoming.

Or... it's not for yourself.

When people get older, they should start paving the way for their children's future.

In this regard, Director Wei can only say that he respects it but will never learn from it.

After hearing Director Wei say this, Song Zuer did give up her admiration for Zhang Yimou.

Because Director Wei is right about one thing: as long as the national master's studio signs a star, your ranking will never be higher than that of his artists.

If that’s the case, why bother to be a bootlicker?

When you reach Zhang Yi's level, you can even exchange resources with the national master.

At Song Zuer's level, she is not even qualified to exchange resources with Zhang Yimou. She is just there to raise Liu Hao's status, so she will definitely not do it.

"The female star Director Zhang signed is called Liu Haocun?"

"Correct."

"I want to meet her when I have the chance, to see just how beautiful this woman, favored by the Imperial Master, is."

Song Zuer said.

Director Wei thought for a moment, then said frankly, "She does look okay. She's a rare pure-looking female artist in the entertainment industry these days.

Of course, as long as the acting is good and can play the role of innocence, one can grasp the pure desire style. The plasticity is indeed very strong and the acting skills are not bad. "

This is without considering family background.

The Liu family’s dirty deeds cannot be washed away, and Director Wei is too lazy to do so.

She's not one of his female celebrities.

Let Zhang Yimou worry about it.

Director Wei said that judging from her acting skills and appearance alone, Liu Haocun is indeed suitable for the entertainment industry.

You can question the unreliability of the national director in scripts, but you can always trust Zhang Yimou's aesthetic taste for female stars.

When Director Wei watched "The Long Season" in his previous life, he saw a comment saying that if Liu Haocun played the heroine Shen Mo, it would definitely be more touching than Li Gengxi.

Li Gengxi’s acting in Don’t Come Back is not bad.

However, Liu Haocun's naturally pure and lustful appearance is indeed more suitable for the character of a beautiful girl who has been visited by her uncles since childhood. It also logically explains why she is often visited by those older adults.

And in theory, Liu Haocun's acting skills are indeed better than Li Gengxi's.

If the Imperial Master hadn't assigned Liu Haocun to other dramas, Director Wei would have actually let him try out "The Long Season." "The Long Season" was a critically acclaimed drama with average performance and profitability, so Director Wei wasn't worried about Liu Haocun turning away his audience.

To put it bluntly, that kind of subject matter is very unpopular.

Not missing a heroine.

Back to the point, Director Wei said to Song Zuer: "The national teacher raises Liu Haocun as his own daughter. Maybe he will take her with him to the "Parasite" roadshow this time. Do you want to go and see it?"

Before Song Zuer could speak, Chen Duling spoke first: "Liu Haocun did not participate in the "Parasite" roadshow."

"Huh? How do you know?" Director Wei looked at Chen Duling curiously.

The secretary complained, "Because Liu Haocun and Guan Gege have a conflict."

"Liu Haocun and Guan Xiaotong have a conflict? What's going on?"

The secretary continued to complain: “It’s a small matter, I handled it directly and didn’t contact you.

Didn’t you let Guan Xiaotong play the daughter of a poor family in Tony Leung Ka Fai’s movie “Parasite”?

Director Wei nodded.

People already call me dad, it would be inappropriate not to give them some resources.

Besides, the age of the daughter from a poor family in "Parasite" is set to be college-age, and Guan Xiaotong's age is perfectly suitable for her current stage and her acting skills are not bad either.

Even if we conduct a fair audition in the entertainment industry, Guan Xiaotong herself is one of the most suitable candidates.

Wait... Director Wei thought of Liu Haocun's age, and his tone became strange.

"The Imperial Master wants to give this role to Liu Haocun?"
