Chapter 198: Take-off to Cannes

In Huayi's view, Liu Yifei bypassed them and went directly to Hollywood to audition, which was a break in the rules.

Their idea was to exchange Golden Swallow for Liu Yifei to sign a contract.

The press release has been sent out, and now the domestic media believe that "The King of Kung Fu" is Huayi's project, and Huayi has the right to decide the casting of Golden Swallow and the white-haired witch.

Of course, the media had no way of knowing that Liu Yifei bypassed Huayi and directly found the filmmaker, and they still think that Huayi organized Liu Yifei to go to the United States to meet the filmmaker's representatives.

Liu Yifei's call for being elected as the Golden Swallow is getting louder and louder.

In addition, the time to leave the plane is getting closer and closer, and Huayi simply announced the list of actors:

"Liu Yifei plays the golden swallow, and Li Bingbing plays the white-haired witch."

In the whole casting, Huayi only did two jobs: one is to hype up the banner of "The King of Kung Fu"; The second is to announce the list of actors determined by Relativity Media in China.

The news of the casting caused quite a stir.

It is said that Liu Yifei is going to sign Huayi.

But what is puzzling is that in the interview after the role was confirmed, the relevant personnel of Huayi did not have the confidence that Liu Yifei had before before they were bound to win, but emphasized that "this is the result of fair casting." "We're not going to use signings as casting chips, it's too small."

That being said, Huayi still wants to find out who is behind it.

The Wang brothers are about to negotiate with Liu Xiaoli.

On the other hand, Liu Xiaoli was complacent about the casting results.

She didn't know that her daughter went to the United States to meet the representative of the film company at that time, and now she thinks that Liu Yifei can choose Jin Yanzi because she has a good talk with Huayi.

Liu Yifei doesn't plan to tell her mother the truth.

"How?" Liu Xiaoli invited Gong and said, "I still have two brushes for my mother, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, my mom is the best." Liu Yifei coaxed her mother.

"The King of Kung Fu, you shoot it well, with Cheng Long and Lee linked, the box office will definitely be no different, and we will enter Hollywood at that time." Liu Xiaoli said with a smile, "When the time comes, Sister Fairy will be an international superstar." ”

"Oops, you hate it." Mom is so joking, Liu Yifei herself is a little shy.

After determining the role, Liu Yifei and Li Bingbing quickly entered the group for necessary action training.

Within two days, Wang Zhonglei finally knew that it was Zhang Yuanjun who gave Liu Yifei the idea.

Even the person who picked up the airport in the United States was the manager of his studio. What's in it for him? Wang Zhonglei was puzzled.

It is impossible for Zhang Yuanjun not to know that doing so will cause Huayi's disgust, but he still instructed Liu Yifei to do so.

Fei Qi, the co-general manager of Huayi Brokerage, put forward an opinion: "They won't be together, right?" ”

"Impossible!" Wang Zhonglei denied this statement, "The two of them are looking for death when they fall in love now." ”

A popular student, a popular flower, as long as they still want to mix in this circle, they can't fall in love.

They should know this better.

But Fei Qi couldn't find any other reason for the time being: "Then why did he help Liu Yifei?" After the broadcast of "Condor", the scandal between the two of them was hyped by the media, but the two did not shy away from suspicion at all, and what is even more strange is that Liu Xiaoli, such a shrewd person, did not stop Liu Yifei and Zhang Yuanjun from coming and going. ”

What Fei Qi said also made sense, and Wang Zhonglei couldn't think of any reason for a while.

Fei Qi continued: "A boy like him, he doesn't care about doing things, even if he doesn't act, he can't finish eating when he lies at home, where does he care about any idol image." ”

This reminded Wang Zhonglei: "You mean that Liu Xiaoli does not object to Liu Yifei and Zhang Yuanjun's dealing, probably because of this?" ”

"Quite possibly." Fei Qi himself was about to convince himself, "When you meet the third son of Jiangnan, the most favored youngest son, as long as you don't toss around, the glory and wealth of the first life will definitely not be able to run, why should Liu Xiaoli stop it." ”

Huayi doesn't have a very good impression of Liu Xiaoli, in their eyes, Liu Xiaoli has a short understanding and a small pattern, and she may not be able to do such a thing as "selling women for glory".

Although Wang Zhonglei doesn't agree with this statement, he can't think of any other better reason at the moment.

"Zhonglei, do we still want to sign Liu Yifei?"

"Let's fight for it again." Although there was a mistake in the procedure, it still did not change Wang Zhonglei's determination to sign Liu Yifei, as long as Liu Yifei nodded, the ending still did not change.

Huayi signed the master Hua Dan, and Liu Yifei acted in "The King of Kung Fu", a win-win situation.

"Okay, I'll send someone to contact her again and see what she means."

But until Liu Yifei returned to China after training in the United States, Huayi failed to persuade her to sign the contract.

"The King of Kung Fu" started filming in Dunhuang, and the crew will shoot a lot of action scenes here, but for the sake of secrecy, the crew did not hesitate to shoot in the desert 2 hours away from Dunhuang.

The first time she cooperated with the international team, Liu Yifei was most impressed by the fact that such a big-budget film would not let the actors work overtime to catch up with the show, "The Hollywood crew is very interesting, what time it starts and ends very clearly, there will be no rush to the scene, there is 1 day off a week, and filming feels like going to work." ”

Liu Yifei was working in the desert, and Zhang Yuanjun was miserable.

The rain in Yunnan Province is getting more and more frequent, and it is difficult for the crew to snatch time from God.

The opening of the Cannes Film Festival is imminent, and Zhang Yuanjun asked for leave to come out of the crew.

Go back to the capital to repair first, and then fly to Nice the next day.

The people of China Film and Huayi have already set off first, and the Huayi team is personally led by the boss Wang Zhonglei.

Zhang Yuanjun was trying on a red carpet suit, and Louis Vuitton prepared eight outfits for his 10-day trip to Cannes.

"Your second sister's phone." Assistant Xiao Zhao gave him his mobile phone.

"Why?" Zhang Yuanjun took the phone.

"When will you arrive?" Cannes is not only a festival for films, but also a fashion show, and Zhang Yuanying has no reason to miss it, "My classmates and I have already arrived. ”

"I'm still trying on clothes in the capital."

"You can try again in France, Louis Vuitton doesn't know how to work around at all." Zhang Yuanying complained, "Then hurry up and hang up." ”

Men's suits are easier to choose, and after choosing eight sets of clothes, Zhang Yuanjun began to look at his 10-day itinerary in Cannes.

On the red carpet of the opening ceremony at 6 o'clock on the evening of the 16th, he and the crew of "Buried Alive" will walk on the red carpet at 6:50, and the opening ceremony will start on time at 8 o'clock in Lumière Hall, and after explanation, watch the opening film "Blueberry Night" of this film festival.

In the next few days, I participated in various film and brand events, as well as interviews with various media outlets.

The premiere of "Buried Alive" was held at 3 p.m. on the 20th.

Zhang Yuanjun looked at his itinerary, it was full a few days ago, and after the 24th, he was fine and could enjoy the scenery of Cannes for a few days.

Packing up, Zhang Yuanjun took his assistant Xiao Zhao and two publicity colleagues in the studio and an accompanying translator to embark on the plane to Nice together.
