Chapter 622 Experience

"Happy Death Day" is a B-level movie.

B-level movies generally do not have famous actors and are not big productions. To a certain extent, they are just for fun. If they are not done well, the audience will not criticize them. After all, the early expectations are not high.

If you play well, you will be talked about.

For example, "Reservoir Dogs" with Quentin's talkative, heavy flavor and unexpected ending is a typical B-level movie!

Talking back to "Happy Death Day", it is actually a time loop + suspense crime...

The heroine finds her murderer through time loops again and again-if I didn't die a few more times, I wouldn't have known that I had offended so many people! But there is no way, what I love most is myself!

Starring Amanda Seyfried is well-known among teenagers - she starred in "Mean Girls" in a supporting role.

"Mean Girls" is truly a miracle, starring Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAvoy and Amanda Seyfried in one drama...

The star-making ability is evident!

Amanda Seyfried is very popular, and "Happy Death Day" is estimated to have a final North American gross of over $60 million...

Ahem, this is not the point. For China, the emergence of "Happy Death Day" has broken the usual perception - is Hollywood casting so casual?

Zhao Liying has never starred in any works. The only impression she has is that she won the championship in the Yahoo Search Star Feng Xiaogang group last year, and then she heard that she signed a contract with Tianmei Media...

How come you suddenly got a role in a hit Hollywood movie?

Zhao Liying explained: "According to the script, the heroine's roommate can be Asian or black. Since the film is produced by our company, it must be Asian... I happened to have time at that time, so I went to shoot for a week..."

"Well, it only took a week to shoot..."

Then, the media asked decisively, "How is your relationship with the heroine Amanda Seyfried?"

"…generally."

"Don't you have any friends?"

"I can't even speak English well, how can I make friends with people?"

"Then will you enter Hollywood in the future?"

"...I don't know, it depends on the company's arrangements." After thinking about it, Zhao Liying said truthfully: "I guess I won't enter the industry... The reason why I can play this role is very simple. I am of the right age and have a schedule..."

Indeed, Zhang Hanyun was still filming "Zhu Xian" at that time, so Chen Xi recommended Zhao Liying...

"Can your company interfere in casting?"

"...What interference in casting? I played a supporting role..."

Zhao Liying was a little speechless. Can't these reporters understand human language? Just as the media was about to continue asking questions, Chen Xi and several company staff rushed over and directly stopped a group of media interviewers: "Sorry everyone, Liying is still a newcomer and will not accept interviews for the time being. If you have any questions, you can ask me... "

…

Zhang Hanyun ordered the food and waited for about 20 minutes. When all the dishes were served, she was about to call Zhao Liying to inform her that she was already here...

Contrary to what he expected, his face looked a little ugly.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Liying was quite aggrieved: "Sister Chen scolded the producer and scolded me..."

Zhang Hanyun was curious: "Why are you scolding me?"

"She said I was stupid for accepting an interview without receiving notification from my agent. If I do it next time, she won't care about me!"

Zhang Hanyunjing was surprised: "So, Sister Chen didn't know about the interview just now?"

"Well, she doesn't know..."

"No wonder..." Zhang Hanyun nodded to indicate that she understood.

"No wonder? No wonder what? What's behind?"

Zhang Hanyun put down her chopsticks with a serious look on her face: "All artist's itinerary planning must be arranged by the management team!"

"Ah? Then I don't have any freedom at all?"

Zhang Hanyun said seriously: "No, the celebrity's agent is responsible for the star's food, clothing, housing, transportation, travel arrangements, and reasonable arrangements for some schedules. He also helps the artist negotiate some cooperation and secure some resources... Of course, these must be agreed by the star himself!

But when you become a star, you must always pay attention to your words and deeds, and cooperate with the team's planning. You must know that your casual contact with the media may affect the team's image of the star..."

Zhao Liying was shocked: "Is it so serious?"

"What do you think? Now that the media is so developed, if you are right, they may not report it, but as long as you say something wrong, you will immediately become a laughing stock for everyone..." At this point, Zhang Hanyun asked: "Think about it. Did you say anything you shouldn’t have just said?”

Zhao Liying thought about it seriously, then scratched her head: "I don't even remember what I said..."

"Sister Chen..."

Zhang Hanyun was about to continue asking when she noticed Chen Xi coming over and stood up quickly. Zhao Liying also saw it and stood up after her, but she just hung her head as if she had made a mistake...

"You two sit down!"

Chen Xi had no expression on his face and glanced at Zhao Liying: "I have already asked several media, and your answer is basically in line with our preset image of you... But you must pay attention next time. If there is an interview, I will definitely tell you in advance. , I didn’t tell you there was an interview, so just don’t say anything, the media is so easy to deal with?”

"Then just now..."

"This is because we didn't do our job well... Although I thought that there might be a media interview, we still came too late..." Speaking of this, Chen Xi added: "In addition, the producer has been fired by me, and he has not been interviewed by the media." We agreed, but how dare we arrange an interview? You said it was just for publicity and you thought I was a fool?"

"Expelled?"

"...This has nothing to do with you... By the way, Xiao Zhao, have you heard Xudong talk about the sequel to "Happy Death Day"?"

Zhao Liying shook her head, took out her phone, displayed the contacts column, and opened the screen: "Xudong hasn't contacted me much..."

"...You should take the initiative to ask him..."

"Then what should I do if he ignores me?"

"You were requested by him by name, how could he ignore you...I'm telling you, Xudong seems hard to get close to. In fact, he is very boring. If you pretend to ask a question, he will definitely respond..."

"What's the problem?"×2

Oh, Zhang Hanyun also wants to get closer to Shen Xudong...

It's normal. We all know that Tianmei's excellent resources are controlled by Shen Xudong. Only by building a good relationship with him can we be highly praised...

Although they are still newcomers, they probably know that actors rely on their works to become famous. Although the probability of a drama directly being promoted to the top is not high, it is still very possible... to the extent that it is well-known to the whole people.

Shen Xudong’s works have this ability!

Chen Xi thought about it for a while and said a few words of experience: "You can ask about some things related to literature and history. By the way, you can also ask about some things about Hollywood and Hong Kong film history... He is very interested in these!"

After thinking about it, she added: "Besides, don't think about seducing him... He likes the long-legged lady style."

Zhao Liying immediately answered: "Long-legged Royal Sister? Tang Yan?"

"...You must have breasts! You must have a good figure!"

"oh…"

…

In fact, experience can only be used as a reference, especially for personal aesthetics, because aesthetics can change!

Maybe during this period I liked the Yang Guifei type, and after a while I liked the Zhao Feiyan type, and then I saw the blonde and thought it was good too...

Take Shen Xudong, for example. He used to like mature, beautiful beauties, but now, he thinks 25 is better...

Maybe in a few years, I will fall in love with a 20-year-old girl. This is not certain!

The changes in aesthetics of mature people come from the growth of knowledge.

Ahem, of course, one thing is fixed, that is, the beautiful will always be beautiful, and the ugly will always be ugly!

Oh, Shen Xudong is discussing the adaptation and casting of "The Vampire Diaries" with Kevin Williamson...

It's like this. "Twilight" will be released in July next year. According to Shen Xudong's estimation, it will definitely lead to the revival of the vampire theme. Then... making a TV series with the same theme is a good choice!

Joseph Drake immediately recommended The Vampire Diaries…
