A day later, Skydome Films.

Since Liu Dehua won the Academy Award for Best Actor, Fang Yan felt that the invitation could not be delayed any longer, so he found the other party for a final discussion.

"Brother Hua, I don't know what you think about starring in "No Thieves in the World"?"

Fang Yan made a long story short and went straight to the point.

Liu Dehua smiled wryly and said embarrassedly: "Director Fang, thank you for the invitation, but it's ......."

Looking at his stumbling appearance, Fang Yan had already guessed the other party's thoughts, and couldn't help frowning.

"Brother Hua, do you have any concerns?"

Liu Dehua sighed: "To be honest, I am not mentally prepared for going to the mainland to film."

Under the current circumstances, the mainland entertainment industry and the Xiangjiang entertainment industry can be said to be distinct, and the two sides make their own movies and basically do not deal with each other.

In the original time and space, Xiangjiang stars officially entered the mainland, starting from Zhang Yi's "Hero" in 2002.

This movie cost nearly 250 million, and the main actors are Li Lianjie, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, Chen Daoming, Zhang Ziyi, Donnie Yen, etc., a real all-star lineup.

"Hero" is the first commercial blockbuster in the mainland, which has had a profound impact on Chinese films, and it is from then that that Liu Dehua entered the mainland film industry, and successively filmed commercial blockbusters such as "No Thieves in the World" and "Ambush on All Sides".

It takes a lot of courage to be the first to eat crabs.

For the current Liu Dehua, he doesn't know whether he is suitable for starring in mainland movies, he has just become an actor, and if the transformation fails, it may have a bad impact.

"Brother Hua, I know your concerns, but if you don't try it, how do you know it's not okay!"

Fang Yan patted his chest and said impassionedly: "The previous Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" was jointly created by filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, and the excellence of this film is obvious, which also proves that mainland filmmakers and Xiangjiang filmmakers are not unable to cooperate. ”

"The mainland and Xiangjiang are a whole, everyone is Chinese, why not abandon prejudice and choose win-win cooperation!"

Hearing these words, Liu Dehua was also deeply touched, he has always been very patriotic, and the mainland and Xiangjiang are closely linked, which is also what he hopes to see.

The current Xiangjiang movie is a pool of stagnant water, if it is just a self-styled enclosure, then sooner or later it will be completely eliminated.

"Director Fang, I have to say that your eloquence is very good!"

Liu Dehua rubbed his face, and then said firmly: "You're right, we Xiangjiang filmmakers will go out sooner or later, since this is the case, I am willing to be the first batch of pathfinders." ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Fang Yan's heart finally relaxed.

"Brother Hua, I promise you, you will never regret this decision in the future."

"Hahaha, I hope so."

Liu Dehua smiled and said: "Director Fang, there is something I need to discuss with you first, my next work schedule is very full, and I won't have time to shoot "No Thieves in the World" until October." ”

As a popular star, Liu Dehua's announcement is indeed very nervous, after filming "Lonely Men and Widows", he will go to the mainland to hold a concert tour, which will not end until the end of May. …

After the concert tour is over, Liu Dehua still has a film contract, and he needs to practice boxing as soon as possible to get ready for the next movie "A Tiger".

"A Tiger" is a boxing-themed action movie, this movie has a deep meaning for Liu Dehua, and it is his 100th film since filming.

This 100th movie, Liu Dehua attaches great importance to it, not only to practice boxing, but also to prepare to shoot on the spot.

"No problem, I can wait for you!"

Regarding Liu Dehua's itinerary, Fang Yan thought about it a little and readily agreed.

When he met Ge You before, Fang Yan specifically asked him about his schedule, and learned that he didn't have other film appointments this year, so he could shoot whenever he wanted.

The two most important actors in "No Thieves in the World" are Ge You and Liu Dehua, as long as they can act, it doesn't matter if the filming time is a little later.

And the most important thing is that the story time of "No Thieves in the World" was originally in winter, and Fang Yan was not in a hurry to finish filming and release it, and the time was just right in October.

"Brother Hua, do you have any other needs?" Fang Yan jokingly said: "If you have anything, you can bring it up now, otherwise after this village, there will be no such shop!" ”

Liu Dehua hesitated for a while, and said hesitantly: "Uh...... Yes, there is one more thing that I don't know whether to talk about or not. ”

Fang Yan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "If you have anything to say, you don't have to be polite to me." ”

"Director Fang, I have a request, I hope you can consider it."

Liu Dehua pleaded: "Xiao Ye's role, can you let Guan Zhilin play it?" ”

In "No Thieves in the World", Xiao Ye is a female thief under Uncle Li, she is a charming and scheming woman, not only has a beautiful stealing skill, but also has a beautiful and sexy appearance, which fascinates Uncle Li.

In Feng Xiaogang's version, the role of Xiao Ye is played by Li Bingbing, and her performance can be said to be formal and decent, without any major highlights.

So far, Fang Yan has not confirmed the actor of "Xiao Ye", he originally wanted to recruit openly, but now that Liu Dehua has made a request, he needs to think about it.

Guan Zhilin came to play Xiao Ye, which is quite suitable in terms of role setting, she is the kind of "fox spirit".

Although Guan Zhilin's acting skills are not very good, Xiao Ye is only a supporting role, and he is originally a vase role, and whoever plays it is almost the same.

Moreover, Liu Dehua and Guan Zhilin are also classic screen couples, and the two of them are placed in a movie, which must be very topical and popular.

Thinking of this, Fang Yan had basically agreed to this request, but he wanted to sell Guanzi and make Liu Dehua owe him a personal favor.

"Brother Hua, why do you suddenly want to play a role for Guan Zhilin?"

Fang Yan said with an ambiguous face: "Could it be that the two of you met at the Academy Awards two days ago, you two ......"

"No, no, you're thinking too much!"

Liu Dehua said with a smile: "I have always regarded Ah Lin as my sister, she has not developed well in the past two years, so I want to find a chance for her." ”

Guan Zhilin's situation is really not good, she has not made a movie for three years, and in the original time and space, her next movie was "Big Shot" in 2001.

Coincidentally, "No Thieves in the World" and "Big Names" are also mainland movies, the same Feng's comedy, and the same starring Ge You.

Even if Fang Yan changed history, Guan Zhilin still got the opportunity to appear in mainland movies, it seems that he is really fateful!

Next, after Fang Yan pretended to be a bit of a gesture, he finally agreed to Liu Dehua's request.

is an outdated actress, and the salary is not high, considering the topic and popularity, it is worth it.

And let Liu Dehua owe personal favors, this time I really earned it! . .
