Chapter 265 : Director Cao goes online, go back to his alma mater to pick actors!
Obviously, Liu Xiaoli has very high requirements for her daughter Liu Qianqian. She hopes that Liu Qianqian can gain a firm foothold in Hollywood with the drama "The King of Kung Fu".
Just like Michelle Yeoh, she can rely on kung fu movies to carve out her own niche and become an internationally renowned Chinese actress.
As the saying goes, when people go to higher places, water flows to lower places.
The boss of Hongxingwu also firmly disagrees with artist Liu Qianqian taking on a small-budget movie like "A Little Thing About First Love".
After patient persuasion from her mother and boss, Liu Qianqian also felt that what they said made sense.
It's not that Liu Qianqian doesn't believe in Cao Jun's abilities, she just thinks that the company and her mother's suggestions are for her own good and are the right choice.
Moreover, the attitude of the boss and mother was very firm and they firmly disagreed with Cao Jun's starring role in the movie "A Little Thing About First Love".
Liu Qianqian had no choice but to call Cao Jun and apologize to him personally.
After the call was connected, Liu Qianqian said apologetically: "Brother Cao Jun, I'm sorry, I can't act in a movie with you anymore."
Hearing Liu Qianqian's words, Cao Jun felt very disappointed and asked in confusion: "Why? Don't you believe me?"
Liu Qianqian hurriedly explained: "No, I believe you. It's because neither the company nor my mother agree."
Cao Jun sighed helplessly: "Hey, Qianqian, didn't I tell you that you are such a big person, can't you make your own decisions?"
Liu Qianqian said aggrievedly: "I do. Last time you asked me to film "New Shanghai", the company and my mother didn't agree. I fought for it myself..."
Cao Jun knew that he had misunderstood Qian Qian, and he felt a little guilty. He then comforted him and said, "Okay Qian Qian, you don't need to explain. I believe you. I misunderstood you. I shouldn't have said that to you."
Without waiting for Liu Qianqian to answer, Cao Jun then asked: "Qianxi, are you sure you don't want to act in the movie "First Love"? If you don't act, then I will find another actress to act in it."
Liu Qianqian felt jealous and angry, and asked uneasily: "Who are you looking for to play the role?"
Cao Jun said calmly: "I don't know now. I have to search carefully to determine the candidate."
Liu Qianqian was very sad and said disheartenedly: "Oh, I know, it's my fault that I let you down. You should look for yourself."
Cao Jun was a little unhappy and did not coax her as usual. He pretended to be calm and said calmly: "Well, okay, I will look for her."
Obviously, Liu Xiaoli and Liu Qianqian's rejection also stimulated Cao Jun to a certain extent.
In fact, Cao Jun also understood in his heart that the mother and daughter rejected the movie "A Little Thing About First Love" mainly because he was not a big-name director and it was a low-budget movie, so it was naturally difficult to attract them to join.
After talking on the phone with Liu Qianqian, Cao Jun also secretly vowed in his heart that no matter what, he would make the movie "A Little Thing About First Love" famous.
July 7, morning.
Accompanied by Zhang Songwen and others, Cao Jun came to the Beijing Film Academy to select actors.
Today, Cao Jun is already a well-known alumnus of Beijing Film Academy. Principal Qian Jun knew that he was coming to the school to select actors, so he not only received him personally, but also sent a teacher to guide him.
Under the guidance of the teacher, Cao Jun first went to the 2005 undergraduate performance class. As soon as he arrived at the door of the classroom, he immediately caused a sensation.
"Wow, it's Cao Jun!"
"So handsome!"
"I feel he is more handsome in real life than on TV!"
"..."
The students in the class were whispering to each other in their seats, and they all looked at Cao Jun with admiring eyes.
Seeing Cao Jun appear in her class, Yang Mi was also very excited and took the initiative to say hello to him: "Brother Jun, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
When Cao Jun saw it was Yang Mi, he smiled and replied: "Yes, little sister, long time no see."
Being able to chat with Cao Jun like acquaintances in front of classmates, Yang Mi felt very proud and had a long face. She asked with a smile: "Brother Jun, what are you doing in our school?"
Cao Jun didn't act like a big name and replied truthfully: "We're here to choose actors."
Seeing Yang Mi and Cao Jun chatting and laughing, the actresses were filled with envy and jealousy, while the male actors were a little disdainful, but mostly envious and jealous, but the expressions on their faces still pretended to be respectful.
Because they already know the purpose of Cao Jun's visit and that Cao Jun is here to select actors. What if they are selected?
At this time, Cui Xinqin, Yang Mi's class teacher, spoke: "Everyone, please be quiet. Your senior, Cao Jun, is here to select actors for the new movie today..."
So, Cao Jun took a look around the classroom, and besides Yang Mi, he also saw many familiar faces, such as Zhang Xiaofei, Yuan Shanshan, etc.
After looking around for a while, Cao Jun felt a little disappointed. There wasn't anyone suitable.
There are good-looking female students, but in Cao Jun's heart, he wants to find a girl with the face of his first love.
Later, Cao Jun went to the 06-level acting undergraduate class under the guidance of his teacher.
What makes Cao Jun regretful is that in the 2006 undergraduate acting class, there was not a single girl who could play.
In the class of this age, the most famous ones are probably Zhu Yilong and Dr. Zhai who doesn't know what CNKI is.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Jun came to the 07-level acting undergraduate class.
What made Cao Jun happy was that he saw Zheng Shuang and Jing Tian in this class.
Frankly speaking, if there was nothing wrong with Zheng Shuang's brain, she would be quite suitable for the heroine of the movie "A Little Thing About First Love".
Thinking of the various suicide attempts she made after becoming famous, Cao Jun gave up the idea.
As for Jingtian, he is good-looking, but he doesn't have the look of his first love, and his temperament is a bit inconsistent.
Cao Jun went to the 07-level acting vocational class again. Interestingly, he saw Zhang Ruoyun and Tan Songyun in this class.
After reading it for three grades, Cao Jun felt very disappointed.
However, Cao Jun is not completely without gains. At least some supporting roles can be selected from these students.
night.
Dongshan Villa.
Cao Jun made an appointment with Liu Shishi to visit him at home.
Liu Shishi had just returned from Hengdian just two days after filming the TV series "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl".
Cao Jun briefly mentioned to Liu Shishi that he wanted to make a movie "A Little Thing About First Love".
Liu Shishi thought Cao Jun wanted her to play the heroine, so she asked with expectation: "Can I play this movie?"
Cao Jun said calmly: "Shishi, this role is not suitable for you. What I am looking for is a girl who looks like a high school student. You don't look like a high school student, you look like a college student."
"Shishi, don't be disappointed. This role is really not suitable for you. If it doesn't suit your role and I force you to play it, it will be bad for you."
Hearing Cao Jun's answer, Liu Shishi felt a little disappointed, but she was not angry because of it.
Moreover, Cao Jun also explained the truth clearly to Liu Shishi. It was for her own good not to let her act, and everything should be based on reality.
After Liu Shishi calmed down, she asked curiously: "Who do you want to play?"
Cao Jun told the truth: "If there is no suitable person in the entertainment industry, then I can only find it among the private sector."
"I decided to select the heroine of this movie nationwide!"
When he said this, Cao Jun suddenly felt like he was possessed by a big beard.
Because Cao Jun felt that he saw the shadow of a big beard on his body.
Chapter completed!
