Chapter 253: Huayi Xiao Wang always wants to get on the boat
After Liu Yifei's 20th birthday banquet ended, there was soon a news in the circle.
The scandal between Liu Yifei and Wu Yuan, which was hyped before, was not made out of nothing by the paparazzi, they had indeed talked about it.
This news is limited to the middle and upper echelons of artists, directors, and producers in the circle, but it has immediately had a lot of effect.
The most obvious point is that the company soon received a lot of new film contracts, all of which wanted to invite Liu Yifei to play the heroine.
Some variety talk shows on various TV stations also invited Liu Yifei to participate.
For a while, this made Liu Yifei's agent picky.
In this part of the play, she has no rights, it is all decided by Liu Yifei and Wu Yuan, she can only report, but for some normal business activities and variety show announcements, she can call the shots.
Thinking that Liu Yifei has indeed lacked exposure in the mainland for most of the past six months, she has disappeared from the sight of mainland audiences since she went to film "Pirates of the Caribbean", so she received a few talk shows.
At this moment, Liu Yifei couldn't continue to stay at home and be an idle fish, and began to resume the normal work rhythm of a big star.
No. 1 flew to Xiangnan, No. 3 flew to the Demon Capital, and No. 5 was going back to Beijing TV, and the recording of the three programs made Liu Yifei quite distressed.
There are three different talk shows, but the content of the conversation between the host and her is almost the same, which almost makes her run out of words when she is interviewed.
Just being on these three talk shows made her resist this type of show, and she didn't want to be on talk shows again for at least the next two or three years.
When life has accumulated and there are many things she wants to share with the outside world, the public, and fans, she may participate in talk shows again.
It's just that after returning to the capital, she can't be idle, and there is a Bazaar charity night to attend.
Bazaar invited her and Wu Yuan before, but Wu Yuan was not happy to go, but she agreed to it.
September 8, 2007, Beijing Huaxia Hotel.
Wearing a Louis Vuitton pre-fall haute couture dress, Liu Yifei dressed up to attend this year's Bazaar Star Charity Night.
Speaking of which, since Liu Yifei signed in the era of light and shadow, Wu Yuan has changed her to a professional brokerage team, not only hiring assistants, but also hiring professional stylists and costume designers.
Presumably, this time Liu Yifei should not have any more scandals of "copycat dresses".
After several years of development, Su Mang's Bazaar Charity Night has also become much more formal from the grass platform team at the beginning.
There is no shortage of red carpets, reporters, hosts, all.
When she got out of the car, Liu Yifei was in a trance, thinking that she was attending the opening and closing ceremonies of a film festival, not a fundraising party for charity.
It seems that this Bazaar star charity night is a little different from what she imagined.
With a formulaic business smile on his face, Liu Yifei waved to the reporters around the red carpet and walked into the hotel quickly.
The banquet hall on the first floor has been reserved by Su Mang as a venue for charity nights.
Su Mang, who was also wearing a very fashionable haute couture dress, stood at the door to greet every guest who arrived.
When she saw Liu Yifei in full costume, her eyes immediately lit up, she walked up quickly, and greeted with a smile: "Yifei, thank you very much for coming to our Bazaar charity dinner and contributing to China's charity." ”
"Please, please, Huang Xiaoming is here too."
Su Mang led the way in front very diligently, and all kinds of good words kept pouring out of her mouth as if she didn't want money.
This is also normal.
Although Liu Yifei's qualifications are shallow, the box office of "Your Name" starring her is high!
And she acted in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" again, I don't know how popular she can be next year, maybe she will become an international superstar.
What's more, Su Mang's network is very strong, and he already knows about Liu Yifei and Wu Yuan's relationship, so he has to hold Liu Yifei carefully.
Without saying anything else, Liu Yifei's seat was arranged at the main table.
Those who can sit at the main table are the capitals behind the Bazaar Charity Night, such as the big and small kings of Huayi, the boss of Bona, and the heads of the invited brands.
In addition, even Zhou Xun, Zhao Junqi, Fan Xiaopang and other top actresses who are ranked in Sidan Shuangbing can only sit at the deputy table.
There was only one star sitting at the entire main table, and Li Binbin of Huayi sat next to Mr. Xiao Wang, and the two of them were still very intimate, and they did not shy away from people at all.
"It's not appropriate for me to sit here, right?" Liu Yifei said with some hesitation after being led to the main table by Su Mang.
All the people sitting at this table are capital bosses, which is incompatible with her painting style!
"Suitable, why not?" Su Mang hadn't spoken yet, but Huayi Xiao Wang, who was sitting at the main table, was the first to say: "Yifei is one of the best actors in our mainland, and it is our honor to sit at the same table with you." ”
"By the way, why didn't Director Wu come with you?"
Liu Yifei kept a smile on her face, but her heart was clear, what was suitable or not was just watching the dishes.
If her relationship with Wu Yuan hadn't been made public in the circle, where would Xiao Wang be so enthusiastic.
"Senior brother has been busy with the later stage of "Gravity" recently, this movie will be released next year, and the construction schedule is very rushed, so I really can't spare time to participate in today's charity night, so I came alone."
"That's right." Xiao Wang always had a suddenly realized expression, looking at Liu Yifei with a bit of pity in his eyes.
When preparing for the project "The King of Kung Fu", he very much wanted to invite Liu Yifei to play the heroine, and even wanted to exchange this role for Liu Yifei to sign into Huayi.
There is no other reason, Liu Yifei is very beautiful, she is the type he likes, and he has some thoughts about Liu Yifei.
It's a pity that after handing over the film contract to Red Star Wu at that time, and even inviting Liu Xiaoli to meet in private, Huayi was rejected.
Liu Yifei neither needs the project "The King of Kung Fu", nor does he want to sign into Huayi.
Take a look at Li Binbin, who is sitting next to Mr. Xiao Wang, whether the female artists of Huayi are actresses or female pets for the big and small kings, it's really hard to say.
was rejected at the beginning, Xiao Wang was always quite angry, wasn't he lucky to play the heroine of a movie by Wu Yuan, just so arrogant, the heroine of the Sino-American co-production couldn't be seen?
Then, before he could make any actual reaction, "Wonderful Night at the Museum" was released, Liu Yifei and Wu Yuan made cameos together, playing the emperor and the concubine.
Xiao Wang felt that something was wrong, and after inquiring about his relationship in Haolaiwu, he realized that the two of them had actually gotten along.
Yes, Mr. Wang, who originally planned to use some means to force Liu Yifei's mother and daughter, immediately put out the fire.
It's not worth it to be jealous for this little thing.
The two companies of Light and Shadow Era and Light Age are bigger than Huayi, and their network is deeper, and Xiao Wang always wants to have a good relationship with Wu Yuan and cooperate to enter Haolaiwu.
After that, the casting of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was announced, and Liu Yifei's name was impressively listed, which made him completely extinguish the fire in his heart.
It seems that Wu Yuan is really praising this little girlfriend, not just playing.
Now that the relationship between the two has been officially made public in the circle, Xiao Wang is even more afraid to beat Liu Yifei's idea, and even treats her as an equal person.
Although the two may not get married in the future, but now is the period of hot love, and the pillow wind during the hot love period is still very scary.
"Come on, come on, sit down." Wang Zhonglei beckoned Liu Yifei to sit down, and said with emotion: "Yifei didn't have a schedule to play "The King of Kung Fu", I'm so sorry." ”
"When I was making the script for this movie at that time, the heroine was customized according to Yifei's image and acting style, and I wanted to invite you to play this role from the beginning."
"After all, among the young actresses in China, your overseas influence is second only to Zhang Ziyi."
"I didn't expect you to play "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", there is a conflict in the schedule, it's a pity."
"It's not just you, but also Brother Cheng Long, both of you were invited away by Director Wu first, and the project "The King of Kung Fu" almost couldn't be done."
Hearing this, Li Binbin, who had been hugged by Wang Zhonglei, had a cold face, and the heroine of "The King of Kung Fu" was later taken over by her.
said this in front of her, where did she put her face, could it be that she Li Binbin just relied on picking up characters that others didn't want?
It's just that seeing Wang Zhonglei's unswerving face, she still didn't dare to speak up, but smiled stiffly at Liu Yifei.
At the beginning, Wang Zhonglei may just want to greet Liu Yifei, but as he spoke, his resentment came up instead.
The preparation of the project "The King of Kung Fu" has really gone through several twists and turns.
At the beginning, it was decided to make a kung fu blockbuster, but after the Sino-US co-production, the script had not yet been filmed, so Huayi contacted Li Lianjie and Cheng Long as soon as possible, wanting to make a "Double J Plan", but Cheng Long refused.
Fortunately, at that time, the script had not yet been written, and Cheng Long was not good, so he changed Zhou Runfu, and then began to customize the script for the two of them.
Later, when the script was completed, Wang Zhonglei wanted to invite Liu Yifei to play the heroine, and his lust was great.
Cheng Long is good at coming to the dock, he is forced to be high, just forget if he can't be invited, you are a 19-year-old young actor in the mainland, it is impossible not to know how to lift, right?
As a result, it was rejected again.
Wang Zhonglei jumped angrily, and there was nothing he could do.
Now I can only complain a few words.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, this also happened to bump in." Listening to his complaining words, Liu Yifei also felt funny in her heart, so she had to apologize.
"Where and where, no one can say for sure, and there is no need to apologize." Wang Zhonglei hurriedly waved his hand.
After this setback, he understood that although Huayi has money in his hands, when it comes to influence, the rich local boss alone is really not as good as a big director.
Big directors like Wu Yuan, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige, if they want to make a movie and invite a certain actor to star, even if the schedule conflicts, people will resolutely choose to give up other movies, and even pay liquidated damages, to act in these big directors' movies.
The really top actors don't lack film and television resources at all, what they lack is good resources, top resources, and this kind of top resources can only be given by top directors.
You can't just throw money at it, can Huayi rely on money to make a movie produced by Okayawu A-level production, the kind that will be released worldwide?
This encounter made Wang Zhonglei even more determined to have a good relationship with a big director like Wu Yuan, find a way to catch Wu Yuan's big boat, and make a good docking movie together.
Even if you have to pay twice, three times the investment is worth it, Huayi doesn't have much else, it's just a lot of money!
"Yifei, when "The King of Kung Fu" premieres, you must come to participate!"
"If Director Wu is free, I also hope that he can come to the show together, our Huayi is still doing well in domestic films, and there are some places where we can cooperate with Director Wu, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to meet with Director Wu."
Liu Yifei smiled dignifiedly, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I will convey Mr. Wang's meaning to my senior brother." ”
"Haha, that's good." Wang Zhonglei laughed with satisfaction and let go of the hand holding Li Binbin, "Charity Night is about to start, there will be an auction tonight, and if you like anything, you can shoot it directly, I believe that everyone will sell Director Wu's face, and they will not fight with you." ”
