In May, the entire Chinese-speaking entertainment industry was boiling all at once.

The news spread so quickly that everyone was taken by surprise. Before Li Huanren arrived in the capital, it had been confirmed that the mysterious director was the "Light of the Chinese" Li Huan, who had just won the Oscar crown!

All kinds of information are overwhelming, and the truth and falsehood disturb people's dizziness, and this new film is said to be a prequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. But there are also many people who question that the casting advertisement clearly says that the Republic of China drama is good.

But there are many things that are mysterious in order to keep it secret before the start of filming. Even when Zhang Baibai filmed "Curiosity Kills the Cat", didn't he also invent the name of "eggplant"?

In the mainland, Hong Kong, and Wanwan, some brokerage companies have all taken action, and those female stars, big and small, are also like chicken blood, and the commotion is unbearable.

The reason is very simple, Li Yu is undoubtedly the highest-ranking director in the Chinese film industry at present, after winning the Oscar Director Award, any film he makes will be international-level, and being able to play the heroine in such a film is a step to the sky. This is a great temptation for any Chinese actress.

As Li Yu's hometown, Wanwan has a lot of old relatives and friends, so it is natural that the building near the water will get the moon first. In the next few days, news continued to come out that Shu Qi, Da S and other people were favored by Li Yu and would play the heroine of the new film and the like. Then there were rumors that Li Yu also fell in love with Liu Tianxian.

Li Gang, the younger brother of Li Eucalyptus, who is in charge of specific affairs in the capital, is really under tremendous pressure. Today's dinner, tomorrow's cocktail party, the day after tomorrow's golf, it's just a little bit of fun.

What can he do? He can only pretend to be stupid and vaguely mess around, and offend a lot of people for this.

Soon news came that Li Yu's new film is not a prequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon at all, and it is consistent with the Republic of China drama in the previous casting advertisement, which is adapted from Zhang Ailing's short story "Lust and Caution" in the 50s.

This film is set in Shanghai during the Anti-Japanese War in the 40s of the twentieth century, telling the story of Wang Jiazhi, a female college student, who used her beauty to approach the traitor Mr. Yi with the intention of assassinating.

As long as you know a little about modern history, you will know that this is a real historical story, but the name has been changed. For example, Mr. Yi is a famous traitor in history, and Wang Jiazhi's prototype is an anti-Japanese heroine. As for the content, it may be based on imagination and fabrication, right?

However, there is one point, in addition to the suspenseful and thrilling style, there are also many explicit descriptions of the cyan relationship between men and women. In other words, if it is adapted into a movie, the scale may be relatively large. But who cares about this for actresses who are familiar with "dedication to art"?

At the same time, not only the actress, but also the selection of the actor Mr. Yi also has various gossip. Among them, the most widely spread is that Uncle Ge is the first choice of Li Yu, after all, Uncle Ge has the aura of the Cannes actor, and he has also had wonderful performances in the adaptation of Zhang Ailing's "Half Life" directed by Xu Anhua.

And this news spread with a nose and eyes, saying that the old actor with a newcomer is the consistent combination of the veteran actor Fa Ge and Zhang Ziyi, who was still a newcomer at the time, in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that Li Yu walked back then.

There is also news that Li Yu is actually interested in Andy Lau, because when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released in Hong Kong, Li Yu once said something like "I owe Andy a movie" to Andy Lau. However, Hong Kong's media has always adhered to the glorious tradition of their former "daddy" Fleet Street, and is good at creating fake news, which is really not very credible.

There is also news that the actor is the candidate, and what Li Yu really likes is the young actor He Xin from the mainland. There are really media who come to interview him.

He Xin really felt a little bit like a person sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky, so he said helplessly: "Fake, I haven't received any invitation about this." ”

However, since the reporter took the initiative to send it to the door, he also took the opportunity to promote a wave of new films that the company is currently preparing to make, saying: "At present, I am also preparing my new film, and there is a conflict with the new film directed by Li Yu in terms of schedule, so this is impossible." ”

It has been reported before that "Lust and Caution", invested by the American company Focus, will start filming in September this year, and the filming locations will be in Hong Kong, Shanghai and other places. does conflict with "The Tale of Two Donkeys", which is scheduled to start in October.

You must know that He Xin's previous movies "Wuji" and "Seven Swords", including the main theme of "The Ballad of Yunshui", are all blockbusters.

When he talked about his new film plan at this time, the reporter, who often runs movies, immediately realized that this might be big news, and his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it convenient to reveal your new movie?"

He Xin pretended to smile mysteriously and said: "I can only tell you that this is the first magical realism film in China, telling the story of a man and an animal." ”

"So who is the director of this film?"

"Director Diao Yinan. His debut film "Uniform" won the Dragon and Tiger Award, the highest award at the Vancouver International Film Festival. ”

"What about the heroine?"

"Well, there is no decision on the candidate yet. But this time it gave us a good inspiration, maybe we can also do a casting exercise. He Xin said with a smile.

"What are the specific casting requirements? Is it also like Director Li Yu, who needs to find 19-23 years old, 1.64-1.68 meters tall, devilish figure, intelligence, noble and classical temperament?"

While asking, the reporter also made a Li Chen-style chest support posture obscenely.

"No, no, no, the types of plays are different, and the requirements for the heroine are naturally different. There may be a clear standard for specific Diao Dao. Personally, it should be simple, pure, with a pair of bright big eyes, oh, and the age should not be too big, probably this may be similar to Director Li Yu's casting requirement of 19-23 years old. "19th Floor Literature

The reporter took the small book and wrote it down one by one, feeling that the question was almost over, and after a while, he asked sharply: "You just said that there is a conflict with Director Li Yan's new film on the schedule, can I understand it this way, if Director Li Yan sends you an invitation, you may also refuse Director Li Yan for the sake of this new film." ”

Hey, isn't this the kind of porcelain-touching hype that is very common in later generations?

He Xin pretended to be embarrassed: "Your understanding is inappropriate and unrealistic. At the outset, let me reiterate that I have not received any invitation in this regard and cannot speak of this issue at all. Secondly, as an actor, in the face of director Li Yan's Oscar-level, I don't think any actor will have the courage to say the word "refusal", I think even Hollywood celebrities are no exception. Finally, I want to explain that the first domestic magical realism film that director Diao Yinan and I are currently preparing is my current real work. ”

"I mean, if you were faced with that choice, what would you choose?" the reporter said.

He Xin is not a rookie, of course he knows the trap in this question, if he answers me at this time to choose "The Story of Two Donkeys", then the next day there will definitely be eye-catching and sensational news headlines such as "He Xin rejects Li Eucalyptus" or "He Xin does not care about Li Eucalyptus".

"You're playing tricks on me!"

He Xin looked at the seemingly innocent reporter in front of him with a smile.

The reporter looked a little embarrassed, he just wanted to expose this topic, but he saw He Xin spread his hands and said: "Actually, there is nothing bad to choose, everything has a first come, first come, first come, now that I have taken over the play "The Story of Two Donkeys", in the case of a conflict in the schedule, it is naturally impossible to take on other plays." You have to have a bit of a contract spirit to be a human being, don't you?"

The reporter was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "What you mean is that you will reject Director Li Yan." ”

"Hey, you said it, not me. Beware of me suing you for slander!"

He Xin raised his hand and nodded at the reporter and said, "I still say that, your question is hypothetical, and it has no practical meaning." Maybe you want to attract people's attention, say what He Xin is arrogant, reject director Li Yu and so on. What I want to tell you is the spirit of an actor's contract, I have already taken over the current "The Story of Two Donkeys" directed by Diao Yinan, and I can't see a bigger director break the contract to take on another play, don't you say?

Besides, director Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" will be released on June 30, and as the producer and actor in the film, I will also devote myself to the promotion of the film in the next stage. There is currently no time or energy to dwell on such inconsequential matters. ”

Finally, He Xin did not forget to call for "Crazy Stone": "This new work directed by Ning Hao, I think it will definitely bring surprises and new experiences to the audience, and I also hope that media friends will also pay more attention and support." ”

......

"Xiaohe, what am I talking to you, what are you talking nonsense about?"

The hard-working agent Sister Hong.

"You're crazy, you're going to offend Li Yu like this, do you know?"

Girlfriend Xingshi asked about the guilty phone.

She was still thinking about the audition, but in a blink of an eye, she saw her boyfriend's very controversial interview report, how could she not be dishonored?

He Xin had to make a promise on the phone, and when he put down the phone, he still looked like he was fine.

Xiao Douding, who was sitting across from his desk at this time, looked at him with a smile and said, "Facts have proved that most of the reporters are undisciplined! I said that your outspoken problem really needs to be corrected, so it is easy to offend people." Look at Uncle Ge's response, that's called emotional intelligence!"

Little Douding said, dropping the laptop one by one and pushing it in front of him.

In the entertainment section of a well-known web portal, in addition to a huge headline on the headline, "Everything has to come first and come first, and Li Yu can't do it - He Xin said so"

There is also Uncle Ge's response to reporters: I have never received an invitation to this film, and besides, the protagonist of this film is a woman, and the previous reports are all rumors.

But then, Uncle Ge's words changed: Of course, if I have the opportunity to star in the work of director Li Yan, I am still very honored.

In contrast, Uncle Ge's response fully shows that he has always been wise, low-key, and a chicken thief.

Xiao Douding then smiled again: "But I don't think your remarks yesterday were reckless, you see that the reports about you have squeezed Uncle Ge down, and the point is that it also promoted "Stone" and our new film plan in the future, and the effect is very good." In case you don't know, I've been getting several calls in the morning asking about the heroine of "A Tale of Two Donkeys". ”

He Xin looked at her with a good face and said, "You mean to sacrifice one of me and make thousands of families happy?"

"You can't say that, you can't sacrifice one. Your current remarks are actually helpful to enhance your own popularity, at least Li Yan will be able to remember your name when he sees this report. Then take a look at your previous works, maybe he will really ask you to cooperate in the future!"
