Except for the kind of movies that have already formed a fixed impression on the audience, such as "007", "Terminator", "Mission: Impossible" and other successful series of movies cannot easily replace the starring actors that the audience is already familiar with.
The rest of the movies must have veteran actors to support them, and they must also give the audience enough freshness. Some movie actors who have become famous long ago will try to avoid appearing in public too often. They are all afraid that the audience will have visual fatigue, and they are afraid that the audience will be tired.
If they are not familiar with their faces, they are even more afraid that the audience will be too familiar with their faces. This will make them unable to break away from themselves in any role they play. They are actors themselves and not characters in the movie story!
If it's a little more extreme, some directors especially like to use "newcomers".
This kind of "newcomer" not only refers to those who have just debuted and are working with a director for the first time, but also those who have not acted in movies before, are all newcomers to the big screen.
Li Mengjiao is such a "newcomer".
He has certain acting skills and is well-known, but has never made a movie. In the eyes of big directors, there is room for training. Of course, compared with actors who only act in movies when they debut, a "newcomer" like Li Mengjiao is no longer pure enough.
But sugarcane is not as sweet as both ends.
Although Li Mengjiao is not a pure newcomer, she also has a popularity that pure newcomers cannot match. She has a huge fan base and the movie box office is also guaranteed.
At the beginning, he agreed to let Li Mengjiao try. The director obviously knew how popular Li Mengjiao was and knew that she often occupied the headlines of the entertainment pages. Li Mengjiao has not been filming much recently, so there is less news, but if there is any trouble about Li Mengjiao, it will definitely come out soon.
Re-occupying the entertainment headlines is the foundation of Li Mengjiao's popularity that was built more than three years after her debut. It will not change due to someone's will.
Since he knew it from the beginning, why did the director have such a big reaction after Li Mengjiao's love affair was exposed?
Director Lin, which Director Lin is he?
Wen Ying had always only dealt with Tianjiao and had little contact with the directors in the circle. Even though she heard the voice, she still couldn't connect with the real person.
But Yuan Fenghui attaches great importance to it, and he is a director named Lin. There seems to be only one in the circle...
Wen Ying's breathing was a bit rapid, and she asked in a low voice, "Is this Director Lin Wenxuan?"
Li Mengjiao, the client, looked confused. Apparently she didn't know what opportunity she had missed. Assistants Xiaomei and Wang Shuang also looked at their expressions as if they were unaware. Only Dong Runfang, as the manager of Tianjiao, had no idea about Yuan Fenghui's actions.
Only by planning can you understand.
Dong Runfang nodded lightly and murmured, "If such a good opportunity is ruined by this brat, I will be embarrassed to stay in the 'Tianjiao'..."
Sure enough, it’s director Lin Wenxuan!
If it is a new movie directed by Lin Wenxuan, and at this point in time, Wen Ying already knows which movie Li Mengjiao lost the opportunity for.
--hiss!
Wen Ying didn't feel anything before, but after guessing which movie it was, now she even breathes with heartache!
Heartbroken, Wen Ying is still rational, and does not agree with Dong Runfang's blaming of mistakes on Wang Shuang, "If Meng Jiao really misses this opportunity, what does it have to do with Wang Shuang? The culprit is the media that exposed their relationship,
I think Teacher Yuan is not the only one who wants such a good opportunity!"
On the other side, Yuan Fenghui had already finished the phone call with Director Lin Wenxuan.
Despite Yuan Fenghui's repeated attempts to stay, Director Lin is not someone who changes his mind easily and has completely refused to cooperate with Li Mengjiao.
Poor Li Mengjiao was rejected by Director Lin before she even had time to audition in front of Director Lin.
After hearing Dong Runfang admitting Wen Ying's analysis and confirming that the other party was indeed director Lin Wenxuan, Li Mengjiao herself instantly withered, "I almost acted in Director Lin's play?"
Yuan Fenghui snorted, "It used to be 'almost', but now it's far away! Didn't you hear that Director Lin rejected you?"
Li Mengjiao rubbed her hands, "If I break up now, will Director Lin change his mind... Hey, I'm just saying it's a temporary solution, I don't really want to break up with you!"
Li Mengjiao was still feeling aggrieved. She couldn't understand how a great director could have such standards for selecting actors. Could it be that girls who were in love couldn't act in Director Lin's movies? Such selection standards were worse than the selection standards of emperors in feudal society when selecting concubines.
Even more strict!
Wang Shuang almost fainted from Li Mengjiao's anger. Under the murderous gaze of his biological mother Dong Runfang, Wang Shuang struggled to analyze
"If breaking up can help you regain the favor of Director Lin, I will break up with you without hesitation. But I don't think Director Lin changed his mind because you were in love - at least not entirely for this reason!"
Wang Shuang has indeed grown up a lot. Compared with when Wen Ying first met him, he has grown taller and his brain has become smarter.
If the opportunity Li Mengjiao missed was really the movie in Wen Ying's memory, Wen Ying probably knows why Director Lin decisively gave up on Li Mengjiao.
Wen Ying raised her head and met Yuan Fenghui's eyes.
Obviously, Yuan Fenghui already knows some inside stories about Director Lin's new film, so there is no need to rely on foresight. Yuan Fenghui also knows the reason why Director Lin gave up on Li Mengjiao.
"Wen Ying, let's go out and talk."
Yuan Fenghui did not blame Li Mengjiao for being careless, nor did she blame Wang Shuang.
At this moment, Yuan Fenghui's thoughts are still on how to save this opportunity!
"good!"
Wen Ying followed Yuan Fenghui out, not forgetting to give Li Mengjiao a comforting look before leaving.
The two went to Wen Ying's office in Tianjiao. Yuan Fenghui closed the door and went straight to the topic, "Director Lin's new film is very suitable for Meng Jiao. I don't want to give up this opportunity."
Director Lin has clearly refused.
So what?
Yuan Fenghui doesn't care whether she is said to be stubborn or unable to understand people's words. Yuan Fenghui always fights with all her strength for what she wants. This kind of hard work has been done many times.
Let Yuan Fenghui turn defeat into victory and let her win good opportunities for her artists!
If you don't have thick skin, how can you survive in this industry?
"Teacher Yuan, tell me about Director Lin's new film. Just tell me what you know about it."
Wen Ying thought she had guessed which movie it was, but she was afraid of making a mistake and had to ask Yuan Fenghui to confirm.
Yuan Fenghui briefly talked about the movie.
Because Director Lin's new film was still in preparation and there was no press conference, Yuan Fenghui didn't know much at first. She only knew that Director Lin seemed to have bought the copyright to adapt a love story. Yuan Fenghui heard the news and immediately guessed that Lin
The director is going to adapt what he bought into a movie!
——Hearing that Director Lin was going to adapt a love story, Wen Ying immediately confirmed that what Li Mengjiao missed was the movie Wen Ying knew about!
"Actually, at the beginning, I didn't want to recommend Li Mengjiao to Director Lin to play the heroine in his new film. I wanted to recommend "Teenage Idol" to Director Lin."
Wen Ying was surprised and moved, "You think Director Lin can buy the rights to adapt other romances, so why can't he make "Young Idol"? After all, among the youth books published in the past two years, there are really few books that are more popular than "Young Idol"
.”
Yuan Fenghui nodded, "The book that sells better than "Youth Idol" is also your book."
"But Director Lin probably has no interest in adapting "Teen Idol"."
Wen Ying was very calm, "For a great director like Director Lin, the themes he likes either have grand scenes, special historical eras, or deeply depict human nature. Although "Youth Idol" has a high sales volume, to Director Lin it is just
It’s a youth story about a group of young people, with nothing to film.”
Even if it is adapted into a movie and does well at the box office, it is basically all due to the original work and cannot show the skills of a great director.
What a great director wants to shoot must be a challenging subject that no one else can shoot well!
"Yes, Director Lin said that "Young Idol" was well written and he would definitely meet a director who is more suitable for it. I saw that Director Lin was not interested in "Young Idol", so I took the next best step and recommended actors to him."
Yuan Fenghui talked about this process lightly. Wen Ying was familiar with Yuan Fenghui and could guess Yuan Fenghui's original plan. If Director Lin was interested in the adaptation rights of "Youth Idol", after Director Lin bought the adaptation rights, he would give
Director Lin recommends actors!
This is how Yuan Fenghui dealt with Mr. Zhang of ‘Liansheng’. Mr. Zhang walked into the pit dug by Yuan Fenghui step by step. He fell too deep and later simply gave up the struggle.
Wen Ying could even guess the reasons Yuan Fenghui would use. Yuan Fenghui would say that "Young Idol" has a creative prototype. As a good friend of the author, Li Mengjiao is certainly suitable to star in "Young Idol".
It's a pity that Director Lin is not interested in "Teen Idol".
Yuan Fenghui finally got in touch with Director Lin. How could she retreat without getting any benefits? She immediately changed her mind and only recommended actors to Director Lin.
Li Mengjiao is suitable to star in "Youth Idol" and also suitable to star in the new film that Director Lin is preparing!
Yuan Fenghui followed the principle of winning if there are no dates, and she really got her on the right track. Director Lin actually agreed to let Li Mengjiao audition——
"Actually, Director Lin himself wanted to find a newcomer with no acting experience to play the leading role. I finally convinced him to let Li Mengjiao give it a try, saying that Li Mengjiao had never acted in a movie and that she was obedient and studious. Director Lin would definitely not be able to do it.
disappointment."
Yuan Fenghui was still angry when she said it.
In order to avoid being intercepted by others, Yuan Fenghui even kept the internal information of "Tianjiao" secret during the contact with Director Lin. Li Mengjiao herself did not know that such an opportunity was coming. In the entire "Tianjiao" except Yuan Fenghui herself, only Dong Runfang
know this.
As a result, the news still leaked!
Yes, Yuan Fenghui and Wen Ying had the same idea. You can’t blame Li Mengjiao for losing this opportunity, and blame Wang Shuang for falling in love. You have to blame the person who told the entertainment reporters about their relationship. The other party must have had the same idea and wanted to star in the show.
Director Lin’s new film!
Wen Ying's mind was spinning rapidly.
Director Lin rejected Li Mengjiao.
A director of Director Lin's level rarely changes his mind once he makes a decision.
Forcibly pushing Li Mengjiao in front of Director Lin will only make Director Lin feel disgusted, so he has to think of other ways.
"We can't let others get a chance. Mengjiao has no advantage, why not... let's all compete fairly on the same starting line."
Wen Ying smiled and suggested to Yuan Fenghui. Yuan Fenghui rolled her eyes, "You mean, let Director Lin turn a small-scale selection into a large-scale audition?"
"Yes, Director Lin wants fresh faces, doesn't he? Newcomers with no acting experience at all are fresh enough, right?"
Someone else was causing trouble, and Wen Ying didn't bother to find out who it was. This move could be called a large-scale indiscriminate attack.
As for how Director Lin decided to audition, Wen Ying was full of confidence in Yuan Fenghui!
