"Speaking of which, last time Mr. Chen of your company, I hope you can help contact Sister Gong Li to be a mentor for "Actors Please Be in Place", right?"

Liu Yifei, who reluctantly agreed to Wu Yuan's proposal, suddenly remembered another thing, and his expression was also a little more vivid.

If there is Gong Li in the mentor lineup of "Actors Please Be in Place", it is also a good thing for her to be the so-called "convener", at least she can have more contact with Gong Li.

Although because of Wu Yuan's relationship, she and Gong Li also have a lot of contact in private, but the two have never filmed together after all, and Liu Yifei is not suitable to discuss acting skills with Gong Li in the scene of private parties.

But if you learn from Gong Li in the program "Actors Please Be in Place", it is a very reasonable thing.

"Of course." Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I'm out of the horse, which actor in China can't be invited?" ”

"I just called Sister Gong Li and told her about it, and she readily agreed."

In 1987, Gong Li, who was selected by director Zhang Yimou to star in the war film "Red Sorghum" and debuted, has been debuting for more than 20 years in a blink of an eye.

In the first decade of the 21st century, after working hard to hit Haolaiwu, and only stopping at half a foot in Haolaiwu, since 2010, Gongli has consciously reduced production in a low-key manner.

She has basically won all the honors she should get, and Gong Li is also the most honored Chinese actress in history.

After testing a few movies and determining that his Asian face could not be taken over by Haolaiwu, Gong Li also gave up his entry into Haolaiwu.

In 2010, she was promoted to the title of Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture, becoming the first Chinese woman to receive this honor.

It can be said that in the field of actors, Gong Li has done his best and touched the ceiling of Chinese actors in the world.

Therefore, without Gong Li, who is pursuing forward, after co-starring with Liu Dehua in 2010 in the remake of the Hollywood comedy of the same name "I Know a Woman's Heart", he did not take on any more dramas, entered a state of semi-retirement, and even moved directly to France to live for a long time.

If everything has not changed, it will not be until 2014 that she will go out again at the invitation of Zhang Yimou to shoot the classic literary film "Return".

But that's no longer the case.

It's not just Zhang Yimou who can invite Gong Li.

The movie "Gravity" is still the highest-grossing commercial film starring Gong Li, which makes up for her embarrassing state of not being a blockbuster in the "commercial" field, and also makes her sit firmly in the seat of the first Chinese actress in the real sense.

If Zhang Yimou is the person who discovered and achieved Gong Li in the field of literary films, then Wu Yuan is the person who achieved Gong Li in the field of commercial films.

Maybe Wu Yuan is not as important as Zhang Yimou in Gong Li's life, after all, the two have never talked about an unforgettable love.

But when Wu Yuan took the initiative to invite her to help, Gong Li agreed to the invitation without hesitation, and flew back to China from France as soon as possible.

At this moment, while Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei were talking about the preparations for the variety show "Actors Please Be in Place", the four mentors to be invited in the Light and Shadow Times Company in Beijing had also gathered together.

In a small conference room in the era of light and shadow, Zhang Yimou, Gong Li, Zhang Guorong, and Chen Daoming were getting together and whispering greetings.

Although the Chinese entertainment industry is very large, the small group of people who stand at the top basically know each other.

The three mainland mentors have worked together more or less in the past, and they have all lived in Beijing before, so they have been in contact with each other.

Zhang Guorong, who began to contact the mainland film industry because of "Farewell My Concubine", is already very familiar with Gong Li, plus Zhang Fengyi is from the Beijing circle, Chen Daoming and Zhang Guorong also have a relationship.

There is no sense of unfamiliarity between the four of them when they meet for the first time, and they become familiar with each other in a few words, from movies to life, and the topics are constant.

It was also in the chat that the other three learned that Gong Li had divorced her husband who had been separated for two or three years, but the news had not been made public.

"I left last year, it's just a matter of private life, I don't want to say it in front of the public, so I haven't made it public."

Gong Li didn't think there was anything, and said chicly: "If you have no feelings, you will leave, and it is not a good thing for both parties to drag it out." ”

In the face of such a free and easy Gong Li, perhaps because he thought of some things in the past, Zhang Yimou's face showed some emotion and trance.

Just before he could say anything, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Li Xiaoping walked in with several members of the production team of "Actors Please Be in Place".

A list of players who were printed and ordered was distributed to the four mentors as soon as possible.

"Thank you to the four teachers for accepting our invitation to serve as the mentors of "Actors Please Be in Place" this time."

As soon as she sat down, Li Xiaoping first thanked: "Whether it is Teacher Gong Li or Teacher Chen Daoming, they are the best among our Chinese actors, and their acting skills are superb. ”

"Not to mention the two directors Zhang, they are both excellent filmmakers who can both direct and act."

"To be honest, I didn't expect to be able to gather the four of you top actors and directors in the circle to serve as the mentors of this "Actors Please Be in Place".

"It's such an honor."

As his own person in the era of light and shadow, Zhang Guorong took over the conversation as soon as possible, haha twice, and joked: "Why didn't Director Wu come to be a mentor?" ”

"I originally thought that Director Wu would come to be a mentor, but this is a variety show produced by himself in the era of light and shadow."

"yes." Although his face was serious, Chen Daoming, whose eyes were full of ridicule, also said loudly: "I thought that Director Wu would also come to be a mentor, so I agreed without hesitation." ”

"Now it seems that I made a mistake, a loss!"

"Why, can't you look down on the two Zhang Dao?" Gong Li looked at Chen Daoming and deliberately joked, causing Chen Daoming to wave his hand again and again.

Zhang Yimou, who has always been introverted and has little to say at work, also laughed.

The atmosphere of "testimonials" that was originally set off by Li Xiaoping immediately dissipated completely.

They didn't come to listen to Li Xiaoping's thanks, and they weren't interested in this kind of scene.

Li Xiaoping, who understood the meaning, stopped talking with interest and took the initiative to explain: "The proposal for the variety show "Actors Please Be in Place" was put forward by Director Wu, and it can be said that this show was planned by Director Wu. ”

"And he will also participate in the recording of one or two episodes as a flight instructor during the recording."

"It's not that I didn't participate in the show at all."

"Okay, let's get down to business first."

"The materials just sent to the four teachers are the profiles of the 50 contestants who passed the audition this time."

"The recording time of "Actors Please Be in Place" this time will be from July to September, just when colleges and universities are on vacation, to minimize the academic impact of the current students among the contestants."

"Teachers can take a look at the materials first, and then let's talk about the specific competition system and competition plan."

"Compared with singer variety shows such as "Supergirl" and "Fast Man", the variety shows of our actor type, the energy and tasks that the mentors need to pay are still relatively heavy."

"I hope the four teachers can take care of them more!" (End of chapter)
