In the Peninsula Hotel, Han and Tang Bao went down to the banquet room to reward all the members of "Painted Skin". Gao Yuanyuan was all smiles and generously distributed red envelopes, looking like a big spender.
The three leading actors, Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, and Zeng Li, each received a big red envelope of 88,888 yuan, which means that the meaning goes all the way! Wang Jing, as the director, also received a big gift package of 66,666 yuan. As for the others, it was equally generous, tens of thousands.
,countless.
"Thank you, Sister Yuanyuan!"
Yang Mi was wearing a pink dress. When she bent down and nodded, her two ponytails swayed. She touched her bulging wallet, feeling particularly pleased with herself.
The moment he raised his head, he noticed a sudden commotion at the door, and saw Wang Zhongjun bringing the Huayi all-star cast, including Feng Pengtong, Fan Erbing, Li Shuangbing, Huang Xiaoming, and the starring cast of "The Night Banquet" led by Ge You and Zhang Ziyi...
…
Under the flashlight of the media, the stars are shining brightly.
"Mr. Gao, congratulations!"
Wang Zhongjun clasped his hands in a polite manner, not daring to shake hands as usual, "Painted Skin" is such a hit, it really makes our mainland counterparts look proud, feel proud, really proud!"
"Oh, that's not true."
Feng Tongtong grinned and showed yellow teeth, and was extremely flattering: "With the box office of 200 million, there have been so many movies in Hong Kong over the years, but none of them can do it. We don't have the ability! Hehehe, only Mr. Zhong, Mr. Gao, and Lu
Always high and hard!”
"thanks, thanks."
Gao Yuanyuan has a smile as bright as a flower. As a producer, she not only made money, but also earned her reputation. She also left a mark in the history of Chinese films——
Gao Zong of the Han and Tang dynasties, the godmother of internal entertainment, how pleasant it sounds to my ears!
Moreover, up to now, the box office of Wanwan is 21.93 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office of Xiangjiang is HK$10.14 million. In the Mainland alone, the box office of 232 million Hong Kong dollars has been recovered. It will be profitable in the next 14 days and may even break the mainland box office record held by "Hero".
Only 190 million is missing!
Looking at the 230 million ice sculpture placed in the center of the stage, Zhang Ziyi's eyes were full of envy. She turned to look at Zeng Li who was surrounded by them, and immediately put on a bright smile and moved closer.
"Ah, Zeng Damei!"
"Ziyi?!"
Zeng Li saw Jin Hua in her class, stretched out her hands to hold her, looked at her, and said happily: "Why are you here?"
Zhang Ziyi pretended to be angry, "What are you talking about? We are old classmates. "Painted Skin" is so successful, why don't we come and congratulate it!
In the industry right now, our 96th class is the most prestigious, with Xiao Lu being the Golden Horse Best Actress, Liu Ye being the Golden Horse Best Actor, Yuan Quan, Hu Jing..."
At the end of the sentence, there was quite a sense of pride in my tone that "I am entertaining heroes and heroines today, but the great beauty is with my ears."
"How can I compare with you."
Zeng Li smiled and said, "Not to mention "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero", your "Memoirs of a Geisha" was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress this time. Let alone Hollywood, it is not even in the three major international film festivals.
Been there once.”
"It's just a nomination, a nomination."
Zhang Ziyi raised her chin, her whole body became light and airy, and the momentary jealousy towards Zeng Li disappeared in her heart. After all, no matter how popular she was, she only did domestic entertainment, and she was now an 'international beauty'!
No, I'm just pretending.
Qin Hailu couldn't stand the pretentious look and rolled his eyes angrily, "Hey, why don't you develop your career in Hollywood? What are you going to do back in China?"
Zhang Ziyi's face froze and she felt angry inside, but thinking of the relationship between the two people in front of her and Lu Fei, she could only force a smile:
"I want to, but Hollywood doesn't give me this opportunity. To be precise, it doesn't give Asian actors a chance. The roles they give are very superficial, with some inner drama or deep supporting roles. They would rather give it to Nico than to us.
"Memoirs of a Geisha" is already the best resource. You must know that in Hollywood, there are not very few films starring Asians, but almost none..."
"You are so awesome."
Zeng Li and Qin Hailu spoke in unison, but one had a sincere tone and the other had a sinister tone. It was so outrageous that an American director and a Chinese actor were filming a story about Neon Girls.
"Later, I picked out the script for a long time, and I really felt that Hollywood wasn't worth my efforts, so I might as well return to China."
Zhang Ziyi looked troubled, "It happened that Director Feng asked me to be the first female lead in "The Night Banquet", and the second female lead was Zhou Xun. The opposite role was great, so I thought about it for a few days before accepting it."
"Oh, it's not like Hollywood doesn't have suitable scripts, and it also has talented people. Zeng Damei..."
Qin Hailu looked at the complacency that could not be concealed on her face, curled his lips, and anyone could hear the Versailles in her words.
In the weekly news of "Painted Skin" and the dual heroine Zeng Li, I can only be paired with me! I am the queen, shine with confidence!
"Sea route~"
Zeng Li gave Qin Hailu a gentle push and was about to cast a spell to interrupt him when another violent noise broke out in the lobby.
"Li An, it's actually Li An!"
"Why is he here? Didn't he say that people in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles were saying that no one is allowed to come to the celebration banquet to support him?"
"Tsk, who are they? Who is Li An? He is the Oscar-winning director, and he doesn't even bother to join forces. On the contrary, the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles want to join forces. Director Li has shot all international blockbusters."
"..."
The celebrity producers around him whispered, Zhang Ziyi's eyes lit up, she held the red wine and said with a smile: "Zeng Damei, Hailu, Director Li, this is the first time for you to meet him, right? Come on, I will take you to meet him, I don't know for sure in the future.
There are opportunities for cooperation.”
Zeng Li could not resist Qin Hailu's warm welcome, so she had to follow Zhang Ziyi and head towards Li An, who was looking around.
"Director Li!"
Zhang Ziyi was reserved with a hint of flattery.
"Oh, Ziyi."
Li An showed a bitter melon-like smile and moved his eyes away from her face. When he saw Zeng Li, his eyes immediately froze and he opened his mouth and said:
"It's suitable, it's really suitable for Wang Jiazhi..."
"Director Li?"
Zeng Li frowned in surprise.
"Ms. Zeng, I wonder if you are interested in auditioning for my new film?" Li An took the initiative to send out a film invitation.
What!
Zhang Ziyi was startled, her head buzzing.
You must know that being able to play the heroine for Li An is a great temptation for any actress. Didn't she successfully knock on the door of Hollywood with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?
Why her, not me!
""Lust, Caution"?"
Zeng Li keenly noticed Zhang Ziyi's embarrassed expression. She was interested but embarrassed to open her mouth, and couldn't help but be in a dilemma.
Fortunately, Qin Hailu took a picture of her and reminded: "Let's talk about the drama appointment later. Zeng Damei, it's time for you to go knock the ice sculpture!"
"Yeah."
Zeng Li took the opportunity to leave, but little did she know that Zhang Ziyi was staring at her back with resentment in his eyes.
In "My Father and Mother", I was her alternative, and now in "Lust, Caution", I am her alternative again?
As the resentment continued to rise, I could only hear the sound of banging ice.
After Gao Yuanyuan finished smashing the ice sculpture, she held the microphone in one hand and hooked Zeng Li's shoulder with the other hand. She felt so CP and started attacking with Qi:
"At this festive time, I have something to announce!"
In an instant, all the eyes of the audience were turned to the stage.
Zhang Ziyi raised her neck and drank the wine in one gulp. At this moment, she suddenly heard Gao Yuanyuan say:
"Our Zeng Li from the Han and Tang Dynasties has received a trial notice for a Hollywood A-level movie! It is a Marvel superhero movie with a total investment of over 150 million US dollars, "Iron Man"!
Moreover, the audition is for the female lead!"
"ah!"
At this moment, actresses such as Fan Erbing and Li Shuangbing couldn't help but scream, feeling either sad, jealous, or envious.
Various emotions were intertwined and rushed into Zhang Ziyi's heart. She trembled and trembled all over.
Oh, jealousy transformed her beyond recognition!
Why did good luck belong to Zeng Li already?
…………
"Shocked! With the power of "Painted Skin", Zeng Li has made a strong landing in Hollywood and is feared to star in Marvel's leading female superheroine."
"After Zhang Ziyi, Zeng Li became the second mainland actress to venture into Hollywood. Is she the next international actress?"
"..."
As soon as the news of Zeng Li's impact on Hollywood came out, the already declining popularity of "Painted Skin" surged again, with its box office dropping by 50%. It continued to decline for the next three days, and its momentum regained momentum.
But in the roadshow promotion, Zeng Li was nowhere to be seen. She had already arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on a flight amidst the envy and jealousy of her peers.
"Is this your Oriental 'little pepper'?"
Ivanka looked at the beautiful figure coming down the boarding stairs, and subconsciously straightened her chest, so that the graceful curves outlined by the dark green top were fully displayed, "For her, you postponed the meeting with Apple's CEO, it's worth it
?
"Of course it's worth it."
Lu Fei looked straight and smiled, "But if you think that I refuse to meet with Cook just for this reason, it means that your IQ is only qualified to be my life secretary."
Ivanka pondered for a moment, remembering her father's business negotiations, her eyes flickered: "Are you dragging Cook on purpose?"
"Think more."
Lu Fei pointed his finger at his head, "Before that, daddy can only tell you to think more."
Then without answering, he walked straight forward, taking into account the presence of Chang Jihong, Ivanka and others, and restrainedly opened his arms, "Senior, are you happy or surprised?"
Happy, I'm talking about "Painted Skin".
Surprise, naturally I am talking about "Iron Man".
"You, you can always give me some new tricks!"
Zeng Li's eyes were gleaming, and her long-lasting lovesickness made her, a Buddhist woman, forget about being reserved, and took the initiative to hold his hand and get into the car.
"Oh, man."
Ivanka looked at the two of them in the first car with resentment, bit her lip with her teeth, and got into the second car with a cold face.
"Well, well..."
Along with the sound of kissing, there was a burst of thunder and fire in the car.
After a long time, Zeng Li reluctantly parted her lips. Under the sun, a crystal clear water thread hung on Lu Fei's body.
He buried his head in her hair, smelled the fragrance, acted recklessly with his hands, and said in a serious tone, "It should be no problem to win the Hundred Flowers Best Actress Award for "Painted Skin". Congratulations, senior sister, if you win the Golden Rooster, you will win the Hundred Flowers Best Actress Award."
La! This is the first time I got it!
Once "Iron Man" becomes a success, the four major actresses and the eight major celebrities will be able to level up the Chinese entertainment industry and become a standout!"
"No matter how showy it is, this flower will still be held in your hand."
Zeng Li's whole body was limp in his arms, her breasts were hollow and her lower body was like a stream. Her eyes were blurred and she said: "Yes, yes, Ah Fei, Director Li An also asked me to audition. Do you think I should accept it or not?"
"Li An?" Lu Fei raised an eyebrow, "What are you filming?"
"It seems to be called Lust, Caution," Zeng Li said.
"What! Li An asked you to take this photo?"
Lu Fei smacked his lips, was it intentional or accidental?
Zeng Li noticed that he was unusually unhappy and blurted out "Then I'll push him away" without any hesitation. She was just curious about why Lu Fei was so angry.
"Li An mentioned this book to me."
Lu Fei said quietly: "When I get home, I will personally demonstrate to my senior sister how to act in "Lust, Caution"."
………
The next day, time flies like an arrow, and the sun rises three times.
"I'm sorry, Director Li."
Zeng Li called and said, "We will work together next time if we have a chance."
"Refused?"
Lu Fei was lying on the bedside, smoking slowly.
Zeng Li hummed, "He said that if you really can't find anyone, just use Ziyi. She is the last option."
"Haha, I'm afraid she doesn't have the guts to act."
Lu Fei smiled.
"A Fei, really, do you really want to demonstrate like this?"
Zeng Li dug out her eyes in shame and said angrily: "Why do I feel cheated by you? Isn't it humiliating to shoot "Lust, Caution" like this? What actress dares to act in it, and she can still get married?"
?"
"This is what Li An told me."
Lu Fei thought about all the weird knowledge last night. Thanks to Zeng Li's long-term yoga, he was so gentle. "If you don't believe me, senior sister, wait until the film is completed and we will find an opportunity to study it in depth."
Zeng Li secretly spat, "There are still 2 hours left. It's getting late. I'm going to audition."
"Don't worry, I'll take you to the audition."
"No, aren't you very busy? Just send a few people to take us there."
"It's okay, I've arranged everything."
Lu Fei put out his cigarette and got out of bed. After doing some simple washing and grooming, he held Zeng Li's hand and walked together, inseparable.
Soon, I came to Hantang’s branch in North America.
The audition was held in a small conference room, with Ivanka, James Wan, the casting director and others all present for a collective assessment.
"Can you give me one chance? Just once!"
In the closed room, there was a faint sound of pleading.
"Sauri, you should know why we disagree."
There was disdain in Ivanka's tone of voice that she could not refuse. It was obvious that she directly rejected the three companies before the audition even started.
"Dong dong dong~"
Lu Fei knocked on the door, called out Wen Ziren, and asked Zeng Li to audition one-on-one alone, and they looked at each other to confirm——
Just going through the motions!
"You're already here, why don't you take the assessment instead of Wen?"
Ivanka sat in James Wan's seat and gave up the seat of the chief judge.
Lu Fei thought that he had nothing to do, so he nodded, and inadvertently glanced at the rejected actor with his peripheral vision, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise.
Hey, isn’t this Robert Downey Jr.?
"Wait a minute, just wait."
"I?"
When Robert Downey Jr. saw Lu Fei, it was like seeing the last straw, his eyes full of expectation.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Ivanka touched him with her arm and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Do you know who he is? He is a famous nymphomaniac in Hollywood! Xidu, gambling, recruiting girls, in addition to acting,
He is proficient in everything, and no one dares to ask him to make a movie, even though he comes from a film family."
"Look, I'm here already, so I'll be a judge, and he's here too, so why not give him a chance to audition?"
Lu Fei deliberately raised his voice so that Robert Downey Jr. could hear clearly and gave him the last glimmer of hope.
Ivanka took a breath: "If you think it's good, do you still want him to be Iron Man?"
"Uh-huh, what's wrong with that?" Lu Fei said.
"Lu, you are crazy!"
Ivanka was stunned, "Do you know the consequences of hiring him? It won't do any good to the film. Maybe the only thing that can be said is that it can reduce the salary, because no one will ask him to film anymore. Do you understand the risk?
!”
"Don't you think that filming "Iron Man" has the greatest risk? This IP is not as popular as Spider-Man and Batman. Compared with it, the risk of letting him try out is almost negligible."
"Don't even think about it! I would rather let Nicolas Cage, the 'King of Bad Movies', play Iron Man than let him touch this role!"
A fierce quarrel broke out between Lu Fei and Ivanka. One argued hard, and the other was extremely disgusted. Robert Downey Jr. looked left and right and regarded Lu Fei as his final savior.
"Alright alright."
Lu Fei shrugged, "I'll go talk to him."
After speaking, he came to Robert Downey Jr., "Sauri, although I am her boss, she is my 'Little Pepper'. You have to listen to her for this project. She said that you have been imprisoned for drug abuse three times."
, has a lot of bad past, and also has a very bad reputation in Hollywood, which is very detrimental to the box office."
"I know I know."
The corners of Robert Downey Jr.'s mouth twitched, as if he was crying.
Lu Fei said straightforwardly: "Although a big factor is that your father has been a bad example for you, but think about it, if "Iron Man" is successful, you will become a role model for teenagers around the world because of Iron Man. Maybe because of your
These experiences will destroy the image of Iron Man we have created."
"I understand, sorry for wasting your time."
Robert Downey Jr. smiled bitterly, then stood up, with his head hanging down, his whole body bent down, and he stood up and left in despair.
Ivanka didn't even look at him, but when he was about to walk out of the door, Lu Fei seemed to do it on purpose, his acting skills instantly exploded, and he shouted loudly:
"Hey, Donnie!"
Robert Downey Jr. turned his head, confusion written on his face.
Lu Fei smiled and said, "Do you want to be a new person?"
"Sauri, sir, what did you say?"
Robert Downey Jr. was startled.
"I can give you a chance to audition."
Lu Fei raised his hand, hinting to Ivanka not to speak.
"Really, really, sir?"
Robert Downey Jr. suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Fei again, feeling that his whole body was exuding a divine light.
Oh, God!
"Do you know why I'm willing to give you this chance?"
Lu Fei took the initiative to walk over and put his arms around the dazed man, his tone full of kindness.
Robert Downey Jr.'s head was spinning, and he shook his head in confusion.
"Because I was like you in the past, with a depraved past like Tony Spike. Although I didn't smoke dupe, I smoked, drank, permed my hair and got into fights. But look at me now."
Lu Fei patted him on the shoulder, "That's why I like the IP of Iron Man, because the transformation from Tony Spike to Iron Man is a heroic story about a prodigal son turning back and being a new man."
"Yes, sir! Yes!"
Robert Downey Jr. was so excited that he suppressed his trembling voice and said, "When I saw the script and prepared it carefully, I saw the depraved side of myself from Tony Spike, and I also saw that you are so successful in reality, you are Steel
The prototype of the hero!
You are Iron Man!"
Nice shot of the rainbow fart...
The corners of Lu Fei's mouth turned up slightly, "Haha, yes, I am part of the prototype of Iron Man, and you just want to try to play me. I am very willing to give you a chance to play me. Can you do it, Downey?
?”
"Yes, yes, sir..."
Robert Downey Jr.'s eyes widened, an unprecedented trust and respect filled his heart, and a tear burst out of his eyes.
Thanks to the netizen surnamed Wang for the generous 1,000 starting coins.
