Chapter 755 I Won't Let My Daughter Enter the Entertainment Industry

The Chinese staff didn't have much to say about this plan. They couldn't just delay the start of the work for an actor.

One day of delay means money.

After the meeting, Wu Tianmin and his team returned to the hotel.

The Portofino Hotel is close to the Warner Bros. headquarters, so they can just walk back.

Everyone talked as they walked.

"In fact, Michael Barnason also prefers to change the script and use British and American girls." Zhang Yimou said.

"Yes, everyone can see this. Now let's go back and see if we can find a suitable one." Wu Tianmin sighed and looked at Fang Minghua again.

"Minghua, do you know anyone?"

"Me?" Fang Minghua smiled bitterly: "I know a few American writers, but the actress you mentioned? I have never dealt with the American entertainment industry. As for China, how can I be more familiar with it than you?"

That's true.

Zhang Yimou pondered for a while and said:

"There is a girl named Jiang Xiaohan in China. In 1991, she played "Juanzi" in the drama "Daughter of the Party" and won the first prize in the performance of the Sixth All-Army Performance. She also starred in the TV series "As Long as You Live Better Than Me."

"There is also a girl named Guan Ling, who played "Jia Yuanyuan" in the comedy "I Love My Family". Her acting skills are good, but she seems a bit old."

"Oh, there is also a little actress named Jin Ming in Yanjing. She has played several TV dramas such as "Wanjun", "Xue Ke" and "Wangfu Cliff". Her acting skills are good. Let's contact her after we go back to see if it works." Wu Tianmin also said.

Fang Minghua remained silent. He really couldn't think of any other child stars.

If you are looking for an actress around 10 years old, then she was born in the mid-1980s.

Actresses born in the 1980s?

Yang Mi? Liu Yifei, Zhao Liying? .

But it seems that none of them debuted in childhood, and now they are still ordinary little girls, and they don’t know any English, right?

Forget it, don’t think about it.

Wu Tianmin and his friends stayed in Los Angeles for another two days and prepared to return to China.

Originally, they were going to spend the Spring Festival in Los Angeles, but now they have nothing to do here for the time being. Later, Song Tangtang and Wu Tianmin discussed on the phone and decided to let them come back to reunite with their families and return to the United States after the eighth day of the first lunar month.

The company just paid more for the round-trip air tickets.

Two days later, Wu Tianmin and his group returned to China to celebrate the Spring Festival, and Fang Minghua also flew back to San Francisco.

Today is February 4th, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month in the lunar calendar, and the Spring Festival is coming soon. Last year’s New Year was also spent in San Francisco, but the wife and two children were replaced by Li Li’s mother.

This was the second time Fang Minghua spent the New Year in the United States. Fang Minghua was not as curious as last year, but it was the first time for Zhou Xuemei. So on the first day of the New Year, Fang Minghua drove his newly bought Mercedes-Benz ml320 to Chinatown, holding his daughter, and accompanied Li Li and her daughter to visit Chinatown with great interest.

The Spring Festival in San Francisco only allows one day off on the first day of the New Year. The next day, Li Li had to go to class. Zhou Xuemei was worried that her three-month-old baby would catch a cold playing outside, so she didn't want to go out again.

It was boring for Fang Minghua to go shopping alone, so he simply stayed at home. He was not a sociable person, so he felt good to stay at home.

That afternoon, it was rainy outside again. Li Li didn't go to school because she had no classes. The family was in the warm living room. Zhou Xuemei was knitting a sweater, Fang Minghua was gently rocking the cradle to coax her daughter to sleep, and Li Li was flipping through a newspaper boredly.

"Hey Minghua, the Harry Potter crew is recruiting young actors!" Li Li suddenly said.

"Hush, child!" Zhou Xuemei glared at her somewhat reckless daughter and said angrily.

Li Li lowered her voice and approached Fang Minghua with a newspaper: "Take a look."

It was the New York Times.

Sure enough, there was an advertisement on the advertising column: The Harry Potter crew is recruiting young actors, including several male and female actors. The required conditions are clearly written above. If you are interested, please ask the guardian to send the child's information to the mailbox through the Internet or send it to the Harry Potter crew of Warner Bros. Pictures in Los Angeles.

The advertisement is very large, but the bottom line states that a Chinese girl is specially recruited for the female role, and the conditions are the same as above.

If you don't read it carefully, you will ignore this.

Fuck!

Michael Barnason and Spielberg actually used this trick?

Fang Minghua was a little speechless. Isn't it too cheap? !

"Hey, Minghua, didn't you say it's hard to find a young actor to play the role of Ruifang? I think Ruirui can do it." Li Li whispered.

"Ruirui?"

"Yes, you see, Ruirui will be ten years old soon, she meets the age requirement, she can speak English, sing, dance and play the piano, she is a little star in school, and often performs on stage, you can let her audition, maybe she can really become a success, she will be a little star in the future, Ruirui will definitely be happy!" Li Li said.

It seems to make sense?

Give it a try?

But this idea was immediately rejected by Fang Minghua.

"No, I won't let Ruirui enter the entertainment industry." Fang Minghua shook his head and said: "The entertainment industry is not like before, it has gradually become a big dye vat, what's the point of girls entering it?"

"Minghua is right!"

Before Li Li opened her mouth, her mother Zhou Yunmei spoke from the side:

"In ancient times, actors and stars belonged to all kinds of people! Ruirui will go to college in the future, what can't she do? Be an actor?!"

"Isn't my cousin also a dancer? Mom, why do you like her so much?" Li Li muttered.

"That's different. What era was it when Tangtang was a dancer in the art troupe? How innocent were people back then? Look at the actors in movies and TV now, hugging and kissing each other, especially in the United States. I can't even turn on the TV! I tell you, when Xinxin grows up, she won't be allowed to be an actor!"

Seeing her mother's righteous words, Li Li smiled and said, "Mom, I was just talking casually just now. When my baby daughter grows up, she must be a great writer like her father! Right? My baby daughter, little Xinxin?"

As she said that, she couldn't help but bend down and kiss her daughter's cute little face.

As a result, the baby who had just fallen asleep was awakened, and she cried "wa wa wa". Li Li hurriedly picked up the child and was in a panic.

Fang Minghua took her daughter from Li Li's arms, held her and rocked her gently while walking, and her daughter soon fell asleep again.

Zhou Yunmei couldn't help shaking her head and started knitting a sweater again.

While Fang Minghua was enjoying family happiness in San Francisco, in an apartment far away in New York, a young woman was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper and lost in thought.

This young woman had black hair and an oriental face. Although her face was a little haggard, it still couldn't hide her pretty face.

The New York Times, which published information about recruiting young actors.

Although the bottom line of words is easy to be overlooked, she still saw it carefully.

Chinese? Can speak English? About ten years old?

"Mom, I'm back."

A little girl with a ponytail jumped in through the door, carrying a schoolbag.

This little girl looks a bit like her mother. Although she is still young and has not grown up, she is a beauty at first glance.

"Xixi, how was the class today? Did you understand English?" The young woman put down the newspaper and looked at her daughter, asking with concern.

"Mom, I understand. Dad taught me English for a long time and praised me for learning well." The little girl said with a smile.

"Don't mention your dad!"

Seeing her mother was a little angry, Xixi put down her schoolbag and snuggled up to her mother: "Well, mom, I won't mention my dad in the future and won't make you angry."

"Okay, Xixi, are you hungry? Let's eat." The young woman adjusted her mood and smiled.

Dinner was simple, bread, salad, eggs, and a piece of steak - specially for her daughter, who was growing up.

Watching her daughter eating steak with relish, the young woman couldn't help asking: "Xixi, do you want to act in a movie? Like Wanjun in the TV series?"
