Chapter 343: The Age of Heroes (1st Update)

Life is sometimes like a dream, and people can make their dreams come true or shattered in the process of chasing their dreams.

The mentality of the little stars about being famous and popular has always been very ambivalent.

On the one hand, yearning - that means that you will live the life of your dreams, attracting attention and cheering.

On the one hand, hesitation - that means more difficult challenges, and there are gains and losses, can you achieve it, this road to fame is not easy to walk, how much should you pay.

But men and women who want to become famous still go forward, even if there is even a little bit of temptation.

……

"You're not suitable, the character has to be sexy and tall." Chen Tiandu's phone has been ringing non-stop in the past few days, and he is responding to Zhang Ziyi's call at this time, and before that, he has already rejected Chen Huilin, "Has Zhang Yimou's "Hero" been filmed, how is the filming?" Tell my brother a good one, and I can understand the enemy's situation. ”

Zhang Ziyi betrayed Zhang Yimou without hesitation, and joked: "Then am I an undercover agent sent by you." Hehe, the movie has already been filmed, and it may be released at the end of the year. As for the filming, I don't know very well, but everyone has very few lines, and there are many martial arts scenes, and basically several characters are playing, which is similar to the martial arts style of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". But director Zhang Yimou used a lot of show-off skills, leaves, arrow rain, etc., and the scene was quite big. ”

"Brother Tiandu, do you think "Hero" will be a threat to you, no one in China is your opponent anymore, "My Sassy Girlfriend" and "Infernal Affairs" are so powerful."

Chen Tiandu said with a smile: "This can be said, the version of "Infernal Affairs" released in the West can be regarded as the core of the Oriental skin and Western films, and the values are the core of Western culture. This kind of film is difficult to imitate in the mainland. But "Heroes" should be a ride on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Foreigners haven't watched enough of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". "Hero" should be able to make a fortune when it connects to the east wind. But it's not easy to surpass me. ”

"Then what are you worried about?" Zhang Ziyi said.

"I just said it casually, it was completely for Zhang Yimou to worry about, worried that he would mess up. By the way, I asked my brother Zhang Weiping, have they found a good distribution in the United States, but his peers are jealous, I guess he won't trust my matrix too much, and would rather be slaughtered by others. ”

"Well, I'll help you ask when I get back."

She nodded honestly. He hesitated a little and said: "Brother Tiandu, I heard that Haijiao is very beautiful, our family is going to buy a house recently, and matrix real estate development has started in Haijiao, can you please choose a good place?" ”

"If you want to buy a house in Haijiao, I don't care about it. In fact, not only Haijiao, but also Beijing, Modu, Yangcheng, and Shenzhen-Hong Kong have land, and big cities may be more convenient, and they are all taken care of by my father and second uncle...... Okay, I'll give you a call and ask yourself. ”

Zhang Ziyi was stunned for a while. I was yearning more and more, "Thank you, Brother Tiandu." ”

sent Zhang Ziyi away. It's finally cleared. Fortunately, he is not a person who casually tells others his phone number, and there are not many people who can ask through the back door through the guò relationship.

"Miss Yang, thank you very much for coming to audition, I don't think this role is very suitable for you." Behind the camera at the interview table, Chen Tiandu, who presided over the interview, said to Yang Qianhua.

"It's okay, Director." Yang Qianhua smiled and waved his hand, originally with the idea of what if, he came to the audition, and it was normal not to be selected. In fact, the Hong Kong circle is small, and the directors are basically familiar with the actors they are looking for, and there will not be large-scale auditions like this, and they are also interviewing famous actors.

"Director, I'm your fan, can you take a photo together?"

"Of course, my pleasure." Chen Tiandu walked over, Yang Qianhua immediately came over and compared a scissor hand, and the assistant pressed the shutter, "click"!

At a humble interview location in the cape, quite a few people had already arrived. Mo Wenwei, Zhu Yin, Li Jiaxin, Wan Qiwen, Guan Zhilin, Zheng Xiuwen, etc., are all familiar faces, and it is really rare for this kind of scene to meet together. But they weren't chatting at the moment, they were all looking at the lines on a page of the script.

Seeing Yang Qianhua walking out with a smile on his face, everyone turned their eyes away, for fear that they would come in vain. She spread her hands and said, "I've been passed, it's up to you." ”

Hearing this, Li Jiaxin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt that something was wrong, and immediately closed her mouth and comforted her.

Agents know that if they can appear in "Speed 2" and "Speed 2" can be a big success, even if they can't become a new star Meghan Fox who shines in Hollywood, the future star will definitely be very good. It's just that sometimes, on screen actresses who pay more attention to talent, appearance, temperament and figure, their face and figure will always be more dominant.

When the actresses walked in one by one, several interviewers such as Chen Tiandu, Lin Yibin, Maria, and art director Hofna-Rogan were all amazed, and some fell into the symptoms of difficulty in choosing.

"Hello director, my name is Li Jiaxin, I am your loyal fan......" As soon as she came in, everyone's eyes lit up, Li Meiren's appearance is not boastful. Now 32 years old, she is the age of maturity, and she looks more mature and generous than when she debuted. She has already become famous, but she doesn't need any masterpieces to become an evergreen in the entertainment industry.

"Thank you, my pleasure." This is the opening remark of almost all the interviewers, Chen Tiandu smiled lightly: "Welcome Miss Li to audition, Miss Li, please briefly introduce what you are good at and what you like?" ”

"Good director, I'm good at dancing, painting, food, swimming, ......"

"You can speak Cantonese, I can understand it." Chen Tiandu interrupted her: "Then let's start." Please give me a side face, okay, and make a few facial expressions in front of the camera...... Turn around......"

Li Jiaxin, who was born in a beauty pageant, naturally showed her advantages in front of the camera.

After completing the basic camera sense process, Chen Tiandu nodded and said, "Can you give me a very angry expression?" What happened to your family, and you are angry and want to pay for your debts? ”

Li Meiren immediately gritted her teeth, her brows furrowed, and she acted. With so many years of experience, even if you play a vase, it is enough to cope with these tests. At the same time, she is not too sweet and pretty, shocked, and incredulous, which can very much arouse the worry and nervousness of others. Seeing that the judges couldn't hide their satisfied expressions, she also secretly clenched her fists in her heart, but the key was still on Chen Tiandu.

Chen Tiandu behind the camera kept asking her to make various movements, "How high are your legs?" ”

"Ah~~"

Li Jiaxin was suddenly embarrassed, she came in a skirt. Chen Tiandu just finished asking and realized that something was wrong and was about to speak, but Li Jiaxin had already gritted his teeth, decisively raised his legs, and made a high leg lift to the camera sideways, and his long legs suddenly rested on his head. He only felt a flower in front of him, and he clearly saw a white triangle. The rest of the judges were all sitting on the other side, but they missed this beautiful scenery, and they all looked at Chen Tiandu with envy.

Chen Tiandu was a little embarrassed, his head moved away from the camera slightly, and he coughed dryly: "Miss Li Jiaxin, your flexibility is very good, and I believe you can adapt to some action scenes." But we need to think about it, if there is news, we will do our best to notify you. ”

"Is that all?" She seemed unsatisfied, and at the same time screamed in her heart, as if she was too arrogant to "scare" the other party just now. Crew interviews usually say "think about it", which means indirect rejection. Even if there are some intentions, they may fade over time, bringing many unpredictable changes to the audition, but she has no choice at the moment.

"Thank you." Li Jiaxin bowed and said: "Thank you, director, I really hope to be able to star in "Speed 2", I am a big fan of it, I hope to give me this opportunity." ”

"Hmm." Chen Tiandu nodded, shook hands with her with a smile, and still said the same sentence: "I will think about it seriously, thank you Miss Li for coming to audition." ”

Walking out of the interview building, the agent stepped forward to inquire about the results, and she was a little discouraged, "The director said that I had to think about it, and I couldn't help it." ”

"It's alright." The agent comforted: "To say that you are thinking about it is really thinking about it." I just asked other people, like Yang Qianhua and Zheng Xiuwen, they were all eliminated directly, and you still have a chance. In terms of roles, the biggest competitors should be Guan Zhilin, Zhu Yin, and Wan Qiwen. ”

Li Jiaxin secretly clenched her fists, "No, my audition form is not good, and acting skills are not my strong point." Wheat straw, help me inquire about Director Chen Tiandu's recent itinerary, please. ”

……

When April 28th ~ May 5th became a thing of the past, the box office list of the first week of the 2002 North American summer vacation was newly released, as expected by the media.

"Spider-Man," a comic book classic that once set a comic book record, has now set a new record in the film industry, becoming only the second film in film history to grossing $100 million in its first weekend of debut.

Based on the Marvel Comics acquired by Chen Tiandu, the real-life action film starring Tobey Maguire set the second-best box office in North America with $114 million in box office receipts. It almost surpassed the $123.5 million in the first three days of the premiere of "Fast and Furious" last summer, but also surpassed the previous record of $90.3 million set by "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in the first three days of the premiere.

Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" grossed $39.3 million on Friday and $43.7 million on Saturday, according to Sunday distribution forecasts, beating the "best one-day gross" in film history set by "Harry Potter" the day after its release of $33.5 million, surpassing "Speed" of $32.5 million on Friday.

Amy Pascal, general manager of Sony's Columbia, which distributed the film, said: "We didn't expect Spider-Man to achieve such impressive results. If the film can make a $70 million to $80 million debut, the company will be surprised, and now it is far ahead of estimates, proving that the comic book hero market is in desperate need of new players when audiences can't see Superman and Batman. Spider-Man came at the right time. (To be continued......)
