Chapter 521 You Don’t Want Me to Get Pregnant, Do You? !
"Golden sands."
"She is the first artist signed by the company, and she is indeed the most senior."
Liu Yifei nodded with great understanding.
If you want to say which contracted artist has the most "outstanding achievements" in the era of light and shadow, it is undoubtedly Jinsha.
Although it can’t be said that they share the joys and sorrows with the company, Sands did join the company very early. At that time, Light and Shadow Times could only be regarded as a company run by Wu Yuan alone. Although he had already begun to contact the field of TV drama production, it was just getting started. Still cooperating.
In several subsequent idol dramas produced by the company, Jin Sha played the leading role as the heroine. When the drama became popular, so did she.
In the blink of an eye, almost six or seven years have passed, and Jinsha is still a loyal artist of the company. It is completely understandable that Wu Yuan is willing to send her to Hollywood for gold plating.
"Actually, the two Chinese characters in "Alien Prequel" don't have many roles. They only have a dozen lines in total. They mainly just follow the heroine as a backdrop."
"So in fact, the casting of these two roles does not depend on acting skills or fame."
Wu Yuan shrugged and said, "I only look at how much they have contributed to the company."
"So artists like Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Wang Ou who joined the company later will not get this opportunity."
"I have decided a long time ago that I will just send Jinsha and Zhu Yawen to be gilded."
In terms of qualifications, Zhu Yawen has collaborated with Wu Yuan earlier. Wu Yuan worked with him on "Your Name". Later, Zhu Yawen joined the company very wisely. Although he has not played a big role in the past two years, , but he also plays leading roles in TV series and important supporting actors in movies.
He even took the leading role as the male lead in "The Legend of Shushan Immortals"!
Now sending him to Hollywood for gilding will also have publicity benefits for the subsequent release of "The Legend of Shushan".
"Yawen." Liu Yifei smiled like a flower and nodded: "Yawen should really give him more opportunities."
"There are not many actors with the acting skills of Ya Wen nowadays. Zhang Hanyu from Huayi also takes this tough guy route, but Zhang Hanyu is not as handsome as Ya Wen."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Yawen is handsome." Wu Yuan clicked his tongue, his tone a little yin and yang.
Liu Yifei glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, stretched out her hand and patted his shoulder: "What are you doing, are you so jealous?"
"Isn't it a good thing that the company's artists are handsome?"
"Is it possible that you want to raise a few ugly men?"
"There is only one successful example in the industry: Huang Bo."
"Oh, you mean Huang Bo is ugly, right?" Wu Yuan got excited and said with a sideways smile: "I'll remember it for Huang Bo. The next time you see him, tell him that my Sissi thinks he's ugly. , sorry for the audience.”
"Hey, you're still in high spirits, aren't you?"
Liu Yifei's eyes widened, and Wu Yuan immediately became honest and said with an apologetic smile: "This is not a joke."
"No playful smiles!" Liu Yifei reached out and poked Wu Yuan's chest, curled her lips, and continued to ask: "What about me?"
"You have arranged Hollywood blockbusters for all the artists in your company, but what about me?"
"I don't have any more movies to shoot next. Many scripts were submitted to me from outside, but you rejected them all."
"You rejected the film "A Chinese Ghost Story" before, so forget it. The later version of "Four Famous Catchers" seemed okay to me."
"I was rejected by you no matter what."
There are dozens of contracted artists in the entire company, but Wu Yuan is now only paying attention to Liu Yifei's career. Liu Yifei's agent is directly responsible to Wu Yuan. As long as she receives a film contract, she will send a copy to Wu Yuan for him to Take a look.
It was also because of Wu Yuan's personal supervision that several scripts that Liu Yifei and her agent thought were okay enough to give them a try were rejected by Wu Yuan outright.
"A Chinese Ghost Story has Wang Zuxian in front of you. It will be thankless for you to act again."
Wu Yuan shook his head, took Liu Yifei in his arms, let her sit on his lap, and explained patiently: "Although in my heart, you are more beautiful than Wang Zuxian, I have to admit that Wang Zuxian is the goddess in the minds of two or three generations. The first generation of fairies.”
"With this filter in front, no matter how good your acting is, you can't surpass Wang Zuxian. Who said her Xiaoqian is so classic."
"It's like playing Sun Wukong and never being able to outperform Mr. Liu Xiaolingtong."
"Besides, the script of this new version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is not good. It's a mess. In order to add drama to Gu Zai, who plays Yan Chixia, a love line was actually created for Yan Chixia and Nie Xiaoqian. Isn't this nonsense? "
"Facts have also proved that this movie is really bad."
The new version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" originally wanted to invite Liu Yifei to play Nie Xiaoqian. After all, although Nie Xiaoqian is a "ghost", Wang Zuxian's "fairy spirit" version is really impressive.
And the most fairy-like actress in the entire domestic entertainment industry right now is Liu Yifei.
However, after being ruthlessly rejected by Wu Yuan, the producers had no choice but to take a step back and find another actress who had the same acting career as Liu Yifei in the early days - Huang Shengyi.
The effect.
At least in Wu Yuan's opinion, Huang Shengyi's performance was actually quite acceptable, and it was on par with Liu Yifei's original version in his memory.
However, the quality of this movie really has nothing to do with the acting skills of the actors. The main reason is that the script is terrible.
On April 19, the movie premiered in mainland China, and ultimately only earned 140 million yuan at the box office.
If this box office performance was placed five years ago, it could be said to be good or even very good, but it is nothing now, and its reputation is very bad.
Especially for the current international superstar Liu Yifei, it was really a bit embarrassing.
So after seeing the box office results and the poor performance of the film, Liu Yifei also thought it was a good thing not to accept it.
Later, Wu Yuan rejected "The Four", even though she thought the script of "The Four" was not bad and the role of "Wuqing" who had to sit in a wheelchair throughout the whole process was quite challenging, she did not insist after Wu Yuan spoke.
But there are still some complaints to be made.
"The Four, Guangguang is very ambitious and wants to make an IP series. This script is also good."
Wu Yuan nodded and continued to explain: "But for you, this series is not worthy of your current status."
"Who are you?"
"You are the actress who played in "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Interstellar"!"
"It doesn't mean that after you starred in Hollywood blockbusters, you can't play domestic dramas, but at least you have to be the absolute heroine, right?"
"The first protagonist in "The Four" is Leng Xue played by Deng Chao. Although you are the heroine, your role is similar to that of the second and third male actors."
"I Everyone can guess Guangguang's idea. If you really accept this drama, you will definitely be the main promotion point when promoting it. "
"If the box office sells well, the one who will benefit the most is Deng Chao, a partner who is deeply tied to Guangguang."
"If the box office fails, Deng Chao will disappear, and you, the heroine and the most well-known actor, will become the culprit of the failure."
"I have seen a lot of this routine."
In later generations, this routine of finding a very popular actor to fake it, and the movie will not make much profit if it is popular, and take the blame if the movie loses money, has been used by many film and television companies. Wu Yuan knows it well.
If it was the original Liu Yifei, "The Four" would be a good cake for her.
But for the current Liu Yifei, "The Four" is a piece of chicken ribs that is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
"What role will I play next?" Liu Yifei pouted and said unhappily, "I can't really take a year or two off, can I?"
"You're not planning on having me get pregnant, are you?!"
"Ah?!" Wu Yuan was stunned. (End of this chapter)
