Neither Li Binbin nor Zheng Xiaoyan is qualified to be the heroine of this movie, and Chen Feng doesn't want to invite Li Yixue and Liu Qinfei. Chen Feng doesn't know the other actresses very well, and they don't feel suitable. After thinking about it,
There is only an open casting process.
Chen Feng felt that it was entirely possible to conduct selection and search in reality. After making the decision, he immediately asked Su Qian to send out recruitment advertisements to recruit actresses for the company, under the age of 30. If her own conditions are very good, she can
Relax. You don’t have to be beautiful, but you certainly can’t be ugly. Of course, it would be best if you are beautiful, depending on how many people you recruit.
Since we are openly recruiting actresses from the society, it is of course impossible to recruit just one. If the other party's conditions are really good in all aspects and there is no reason to refuse, the more people, the better.
Of course, the real purpose of this recruitment is to find an actress who meets the requirements of "Sweet Honey", and also to find a few reserve talents with good potential for the company.
There is no doubt about Su Qian's work ability. Under her operation, Chen Feng's advertisements for actors in new movies were not only published in three entertainment newspapers with relatively large circulation in the country, but also quickly aroused heated discussions on the Internet.
.
Chen Feng's current fame is unknown to many people who care about domestic movies, and Chen Feng's latest film "Charlotte Trouble" has set a new domestic box office record. This matter is also known to many people.
of.
In addition, Chen Feng has recently been filming a new movie, but the director is not him. But the screenwriter and producer are still him, which has attracted the attention of many people in the country. There are people in the industry and many movie fans.
And now there is news that Chen Feng is recruiting actresses for a new movie, which means that his two movies will be shot at almost the same time.
This naturally aroused widespread attention and discussion in the industry, and also triggered a heated discussion on the Internet. The main discussion was about what type of movie Chen Feng's new movie is, and why he openly recruits actresses, and
She is still the heroine, which makes many people confused.
You have to know what kind of actress Chen Feng is currently in. Many celebrities have publicly expressed their hope to cooperate with Chen Feng. But now he is openly recruiting heroines for new movies, not through invitations.
Many people are confused about how to invite well-known female celebrities.
Therefore, many people believe that Chen Feng did this to promote his new movie in this way.
Such comments were still a minority at first, but then they became more and more numerous. After being reminded by Su Qian, Chen Feng posted a Weibo post explaining this.
"We at Summit Entertainment are currently filming a movie called "Crazy Stone", directed by Li Kai, but the script and producer are both mine. And I am currently preparing for another movie, which is a
The romance film is also written and produced by me, and will also be directed and starred by myself. This is a very sentimental film, or a nostalgic film. Therefore, I have high requirements for the heroine.
.To a certain extent, the heroine of this movie is more important than me as the male protagonist. In reality, I don’t know many actresses, including some well-known actresses, and I know very little about them.
That's why I had to adopt such an open recruitment method to find my ideal heroine candidate. Now let me clearly state my requirements for the heroine of this movie. First, she should be at least twenty-three years old.
Between 19 and 30 years old, if the conditions are very good, the age can be relaxed; secondly, she cannot be too beautiful. If she is very beautiful, it is best not to come here. Of course, she cannot be ugly. If she is
Chou, please don’t waste each other’s time; third, you must have at least three years of acting experience; fourth, signing a contract with Summit Entertainment is a priority.”
As soon as Chen Feng's Weibo post was posted, it immediately triggered a hot topic on the Internet - #陈峰新电影Casting#.
Immediately, many well-known domestic actresses retweeted @陈峰 and recommended themselves to Chen Feng. In the comment area of Chen Feng’s Weibo, in less than ten minutes, three well-known domestic actresses
He immediately left a message to recommend himself, and called on his fans to like his message so that his self-recommended message would always be displayed at the top.
At first, the messages of these three actresses were still displayed at the front, but as other more famous actresses joined in, they were quickly pushed to the back.
Of course, the actress who was pushed to the back was not willing to accept it, and used various means to like her own comments. As a result, an hour later, the highest comment in the comment area had more than 1.5 million likes. It was really
It makes people feel scary.
Among them, the actress who ranked first in the message was Yang Min, a domestic first-line actor. Her message was very simple: "I have always admired and admired Director Chen's level, and I also look forward to working with Director Chen. I personally
I think that my own conditions are more in line with Director Chen’s requirements for a heroine in his new drama. Please give me a chance, Director Chen.”
Her self-recommendation message received more than 1.5 million likes in one hour. Anyone with a discerning eye would know it was fake at a glance. But you have to say that she was very sincere in her request for likes this time. Her purpose was
Just to let Chen Feng give her a chance.
However, her first-place result only lasted for half an hour, and then she was surpassed by another first-line actress and pushed to second place. This actress's name was Jiang Qian, and she had been in a competitive relationship with her for many years.
Every film and television drama has had its share of overt and covert struggles. This time is no exception.
Jiang Qian's message was very direct: "Director Chen, I think all my conditions are in line with your requirements for a heroine in a new drama. Please give me a chance, I will never let you down."
Some other domestic actresses are not far behind. Even if their likes are not among the top few, they are still on the first page.
More than two hours later, I looked around and saw that the first page of Chen Feng's Weibo comment section was filled with comments from domestic actresses.
Some non-female celebrities also came to join in the fun and popularity. For example, some male celebrities also left messages to recommend themselves to Chen Feng, hoping to get some roles in his new movies, even if it was just a small supporting role.
For a time, Chen Feng's Weibo comment area was really full of stars. There were both men and women. Especially the women, in order to compete for ranking in the comment area, you swiped me and everyone swiped together. It was obvious.
Many netizens who eat melons are very excited. The resulting fan war between several female celebrities has caused a surge in Weibo traffic.
In addition to these celebrities vying to recommend themselves to Chen Feng, those who were not well-known, even students in school, and actresses who were still playing minor roles, also packed their bags and rushed to the capital immediately.
Less than half an hour after Chen Feng posted this Weibo, he received a call from Liu Qinfei.
Chen Feng answered the call after a brief hesitation. However, Liu Qinfei did not speak immediately, nor did she intend to accuse her. Chen Feng took the initiative and said: "Sister Fei, if you call me and ask me why I didn't choose you,
As for the heroine of a new drama, I can only tell you that you are not suitable."
After hearing what Chen Feng said, Liu Qinfei on the other end of the phone said, "You haven't even tried it on me, how do you know it's not suitable?"
"First of all, you are too beautiful. I have already said this on Weibo. The heroine in my new drama is not very beautiful in the setting. Secondly, you look too young and too innocent.
, the heroine in my new drama should look more old-fashioned and mature."
"...Okay. You wrote, directed and acted in this movie again, so it will be whatever you say. By the way, what is the title of your new movie?"
""Sweet Honey"."
"Well, just from the name, it sounds good. It's a romance movie. Is it a sweet romance movie?"
"You can say yes, you can also say no."
"What do you mean? Can you tell me specifically about the content of this drama?"
Chen Feng immediately refused: "I couldn't explain the plot clearly on the phone for a while. Anyway, I plan to finish the film within two or three months, and it will be released in the summer. You will know when you go see it."
Already."
"...Okay. Since you think I am not suitable to play the heroine of your new drama, then I recommend someone who I think will definitely suit your requirements. She is not very beautiful, but she is not ugly either, and
She is well-known in our country, very popular, and has strong box office appeal. Moreover, she has won five Best Actress crowns so far. In terms of acting skills, she is unparalleled."
Chen Feng was initially a little disgusted with Liu Qinfei's backdoor approach to him, but when he heard that the other party had already won five Best Actress crowns, he immediately became interested.
"who is she?"
Liu Qinfei didn't show off, and directly said her name: "Li Manyu."
"Li Manyu!?" Chen Feng couldn't help but exclaimed slightly. He had searched for the actress's information on the Internet before, and he still knew a little bit about this Li Manyu. First of all, the name of this actress was the same as the original heroine Zhang Ying, whom Chen Feng knew in his previous life.
In the end, there was only a difference in surname, and even the two people were somewhat similar in appearance, except that Li Manyu looked more refined and was younger. This Li Manyu is only 27 or 28 years old now, and she has always been with the Film Queen Zhang.
The difference between having no children is that she got married two years ago and gave birth to a lovely daughter. And then she announced that she would stop acting and retire from the entertainment industry.
"Yes, it's Li Manyu." Liu Qinfei was very satisfied with Chen Feng's surprise.
"Didn't she stop acting?" Chen Feng asked in surprise. When he first searched for the actress Li Manyu on the Internet, he was of course very surprised, because she was really similar to the actress Zhang from the original time and space.
If she had not stopped acting at that time and was caring for her husband and raising her daughter at home, Chen Feng might have extended an invitation to her.
"She plans to come back. But she has never had a suitable script. Therefore, she has not come back. And I believe that your new drama will definitely suit her. So I recommend it to you. She didn't know about it in advance, let alone let her
I'm asking for a favor from you. Actually, I don't know her very well."
"Then why do you recommend her?" Chen Feng frowned slightly.
"Because according to what you said, I think she is quite suitable for the heroine of your new drama."
"...Okay. Thank you for your suggestion. However, I will not take the initiative to invite her, let alone directly decide to let her act. However, I can give her a chance to audition, and you can inform her for me.
.”
Chen Feng finally resisted the idea of inviting Li Manyu to be the heroine. After all, the public recruitment information has been sent out, and he can't just make an appointment before it starts. It would be too disrespectful to other people.
"Okay. I'll inform her later. Also, I want to tell you that she doesn't have a contract with a company right now. If you have the ability, you can definitely convince her to sign with your company."
"Thank you for the reminder. If she comes to audition, I will try to persuade her."
If Maggie Cheung is really as powerful as the original movie queen Zhang, there is no reason why Chen Feng can't find a way to sign her. Because there are too many classic movies of the original movie queen Chang, they can be copied and cast by Li Manyu.
Liu Qinfei didn't talk to Chen Feng anymore, she just politely said good luck to him and wished his new drama a hit and ended the call.
Liu Qinfei was obviously much more polite to Chen Feng this time. This made Chen Feng a little uncomfortable, but it felt pretty good.
Chen Feng is still looking forward to the actress Li Manyu, but the work of open recruitment still needs to be done.
However, Chen Feng obviously underestimated his current influence in the country. Within a few days of the recruitment advertisement being posted, he called Jia Yong early the next morning to inform him that the alley near the company had been crowded with people.
Blocked.
There were so many people applying. In the early morning, before the Summit Entertainment Company opened its doors, the fairly large ten-meter-wide alley was already crowded with people. There were at least five or six hundred people, including
Most of them came to apply, and a few were media reporters and spectators.
Chen Feng did not expect such a result, nor did Su Qian and Jia Yong. The number of applicants completely exceeded expectations. There are so many people, and it is foreseeable that more people will come for interviews in the company.
These people are obviously unrealistic.
Chen Feng immediately asked Jia Yong to rent a venue at the nearest gymnasium and move all the applicants there.
Then she asked Susie to immediately organize people in the company to guide and protect the people gathered in the company.
There was a basketball gym about three or four kilometers away from Summit Entertainment Company. There were no games in the basketball gym during the day. Jia Yong drove over and found an acquaintance to talk about the matter, and he successfully rented the basketball gym.
So, Susie posted a notice at the gate, telling the applicants to move to the gymnasium for interviews and auditions.
