A mouthful of warm water was sprayed directly on Zhou Sisi's face. Zhou Sisi exclaimed, and when she touched it with her hands, her head and face were covered with water.
"..."
"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!"
Li Mou was frightened and poured a mouthful of water into his trachea, choking him and coughing non-stop.
"Director Li!"
Zhou Sisi couldn't care less about herself and hurriedly walked around behind Li Mou and patted his back to comfort him. Li Mou was startled and bent over to cough while holding on to his waist to avoid her movements.
Zhou Sisi's hand fell away and was raised in the air in embarrassment.
"Director Li..."
Li Mou coughed for a long time before he stopped. His face was red from holding it in. He suspected that he had heard wrongly, so he plucked his ears and asked again, "You just said, who do you want to play?"
"Chu Qingcheng!"
"..."
Depend on!
It really wasn’t a problem with his ears, Zhou Sisi really wanted to play Chu Qingcheng!
Damn it!
Not to mention that he has already decided on the heroine, but Zhou Sisi's current reputation... She plays the leading female role, what an international joke!
It's a bad thing to say.
Who in the entertainment industry doesn't know that China has issued a banning order on Zhou Sisi.
What kind of company is Huaxia?
After the decline of Starlight Media, Huaxia Media is now the only one. Only one company, Huaxia, owns half of the entertainment industry!
What does it mean when China issued a ban order on her?
Which director can guarantee not to cooperate with Chinese artists? Which news media will not interview Chinese artists?! No one will take such a big risk to offend this company for an insignificant Zhou Sisi.
Being banned by China, Zhou Sisi's stardom has been ruined!
at this time.
If he is willing to give her a role, that is already benevolence!
After all, the big boss of Huaxia is still working on his crew, so he might give him a favor, but he didn’t expect that Zhou Sisi was greedy and wanted the role of Chu Qingcheng!
Li Mou suddenly lost his expression.
"Zhou Sisi, you think I'm stupid!"
Zhou Sisi looked stiff and waved her hands quickly, "No, no! How could I... Director Li, please listen to what I have to say first, okay?"
"Okay!" Li Mou took a deep breath. He wanted to hear what other flowers Zhou Sisi could say. "Say it!"
"I have read the original work of the novel "Chu Qingcheng"! In the original work, Chu Qingcheng was a simple and harmless little girl who was inexperienced in the world. Later, after the hero's soul disappeared, Chu Qingcheng collected a trace of his remnant soul and used it to
Only with the blood of his heart and the nourishment of magic weapons can he come back to life! In a thousand years, Chu Qingcheng has become much smarter and more decisive, which is very different from her previous personality. Although Lin Wanwan previously played the role in "The Legend of Concubine Wanwan"
Bai Ningshuang's personality is also very different, but that's because Concubine Chen's character is very similar to Lin Wanwan, so she can act so brilliantly. Don't forget, Lin Wanwan is just a newcomer."
Li Mou frowned.
Zhou Sisi wiped off the water droplets on her face and continued, "She is only twenty-four years old this year and has just made her debut. She is lucky enough to get the role of Concubine Chen to become an instant hit! But after all, she has too little experience, especially for Xianxia
During the filming of the Xianxia drama, many scenes were based on imagination because special effects had to be added later. Lin Wanwan is a newcomer, are you sure she can take on this important task?"
Li Mou sneered, "She can't do it, but you can?"
"Of course I can!" Zhou Sisi raised her chin, full of confidence, "I debuted at the age of sixteen and have been acting for seventeen years. I am confident that I can play the role of Chu Qingcheng well."
Li Mou sneered again, "Just because of this, you want me to replace Lin Wanwan?"
Of course not enough!
Zhou Sisi added to the fire, "Director Li, as long as you nod, I can star in it for zero pay!"
Zhou Sisi is confident.
Li Mou will definitely agree.
Zhou Sisi didn't know that the Xiao Group and the Long Group had invested new funds in "The Legend of the Fallen City". She found out that Li Mou was having a hard time filming the drama. The biggest problem was investment.
For a drama, failure to attract investment is fatal.
She thinks her acting skills are better than Lin Wanwan's.
More importantly, Lin Wanwan is now a first-line actress. If Lin Wanwan is asked to play the lead role in "The Legend of the Fallen City", she will definitely be paid a high salary. This is definitely a huge sum for Li Mou who is short of funds.
s expenses.
And she was willing to star in the film for zero pay, so even if Li Mou wanted to save costs, he would still use her.
certainly!
She's not stupid either.
Although she is getting zero pay for her role, she will not suffer any loss.
Anyway, no one is looking for her to act at the moment. She can use "The Legend of the Fallen City" to increase her exposure. Moreover, Li Mou is very powerful, and the TV series he produces have very good reputations.
If you can make a classic like "The Legend of Concubine", maybe you can create the next classic.
to be honest!
The Chinese media dares to ban her because she is not famous enough!
If she can rely on her strength to create a classic again. At that time, who among those directors and media would take China's banning order seriously?
"hehe……"
Li Mou suddenly laughed.
Zhou Sisi breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Director Li..."
However.
What Li Mou said next made Zhou Sisi stop laughing.
"She looks ugly, but she thinks she's pretty."
Zhou Sisi's smile froze, "Director Li, what do you mean?"
Li Mou immediately turned cold.
After so many years in the industry, who doesn’t have a temper?
Li Mou waved his hand and said sternly, "What do I mean? I want to ask you what you mean! Zhou Sisi, you think I'm stupid! Who doesn't know that China has issued a ban on you and asked you to act in my new drama?
Female lead, I must be crazy! You want to step on me and step on my new drama to whitewash yourself. Damn it, I have the words 'I'm stupid' written on my face!"
Li Mou didn't give her a chance to speak at all, "Do you think I don't know what your plans are?! What the hell, you weren't even born when I was in the entertainment industry. You're still too young to play tricks on me!"
"I……"
"What are you! Do you think you can act in my drama with zero pay? Bah! I'm telling you, I really don't need your little pay! And... what's wrong with the newcomers? The newcomers are looking at you.
The family's ancestral grave? You are not a newcomer, so what is there to be proud of! Although Lin Wanwan is a newcomer, her acting skills are no worse than yours! No, no, no, it should be said that her acting skills are n times better than yours.
Not only acting skills, but also character cultivation and appearance... Damn, if you dare to have an opinion on the female lead I chose, doesn’t that make it clear that you are calling labor and management blind!"
Zhou Sisi didn't expect that Li Mou would curse loudly, and she was completely confused.
"Director Li..."
"Shut up!" After all, they had already broken up with each other, and Li Mou was not prepared to save face for Zhou Sisi at all. "In addition to my serious work, do you know that I, Li Mou, have two famous characteristics?"
Zhou Sisi was confused.
"First, I hate other people playing dirty tricks behind their backs! Second, I want to protect my shortcomings!"
"I……"
"Unfortunately, you have taken both of these! So..." Li Mou pointed to the door left in the studio, "The door is over there! Get out!"
