Entertainment tycoon since 83

The reason why Huang Ze wanted to return to Shanghai during this period of time was not only to reunite his parents and three children, but also to take care of some work matters.

The two male protagonists of "Rush Hour 2" have been confirmed.

Huang Ze is still planning to continue using him for the role that Zun Long played in the previous life.

Someone has also been sent to find the other party's agent. If he doesn't have time, Liang Jiahui will take over. This is not a problem.

Huang Ze returned to Shanghai to look for the role of a female killer.

Because it was modern clothing, Ning Jing's frame was not suitable without the ancient costume to cover it up.

As for the actress who played this role in her previous life, Zhang Ziyi, she was still a girl at that time, very young.

Besides, Huang Ze doesn’t want to use him unless there is really no other choice.

That’s right, prejudice!
Simply don't like it.

What if he uses his hands to catch the grape skins for himself?
Don’t you consider the media’s attention? What do you want me to do?
After thinking about it, Huang Ze set his sights on the ice this time.

In Huang Ze's impression, her figure and face are quite suitable for a role like a female killer.

So, after settling Gong Xing and the children, Huang Ze went directly to Shanghai Opera House.

Before coming, I wouldn't be quiet, and I made a phone call in advance.

This resulted in Huang Ze getting off the car at the door, and he saw several Shanghai Opera faculty members standing at the door.

"Director Huang!" As soon as they saw Huang Ze going down, they all came over.

"Hello!" Huang Ze stretched out his hand. "I'm just looking for an actor. There's no need to be so grand."

"Director Huang, the students are waiting for you to say a few words."

"Come on, please, please!"

The director of Shanghai Opera who came to greet Huang Ze made an inviting gesture and invited Huang Ze into the school.

"By the way, Director Huang, are you planning to find a male or female actor? What kind of role will they play?"

"She plays a supporting actress in my new film Rush Hour 2. She doesn't have many scenes, but if we only count the female characters, she has the most scenes. Of course, if there are other suitable talents, even if they can't act in my film, I can sign a few of them."

“Of course they all are!” When the director who met Huang Ze heard that it was the casting for “Rush Hour 2”, his eyes immediately lit up.

That's the sequel to a global hit!
Since Huang Ze is personally producing this film, the box office will most likely be higher than the first one.

A student from my own school was able to play a female role with the most lines in the film. When she returned to China, she was almost a big shot among the younger generation.

This news will increase the popularity of Shanghai opera.

Moreover, the actors who are selected will also become an important alumni resource in the future.

"Director Huang, you have to take a good look. We have accumulated a lot of good talents in the acting department over the past four years! After the speech, you can go through the acting department students one grade at a time and sign as many as you want."

"Okay, then I'll take a good look." Huang Ze couldn't refuse the kind invitation, so he agreed with a smile.

Anyway, it's up to you to decide how many to sign.

After a while, the other party took him to a small theater.

This is where I often screened movies before.

As soon as Huang Ze entered, the atmosphere inside suddenly became lively.

"Director Huang! Are you here to select actors at our school?
"Are you picking the male lead? Look at me, I can play the male lead."

"Director Huang, I am willing to play a supporting role as well."

"I'm willing to play a minor role, too."

“I can do the background board too!”

"Okay, okay, don't keep bidding down." Huang Ze smiled and pressed his palm down, "If you keep bidding down, you should just stop performing."

"I will select a few actors later. Those who are selected, work hard and don't let me down. Those who are not selected, also work hard. Our country's economy is getting better and better, and the film and television industry will also get better and better." "When that time comes, those of you who have been persisting will be able to reap the dividends."

After chatting for a few sentences, Huang Ze felt that he could no longer hold back his words, so he simply stopped being polite and started talking directly.

"..."

A small amount of chicken soup, some outlook on the general trend of the film and television industry, some encouragement, and answering some students' questions.

Maybe it was because I had said too many things like this over the years, so this speech lasted for more than an hour before it ended.

Then, people from other professions went back.

The people in the Performance Department were divided into four groups according to their grade, from freshman to senior year.

It was only then that Huang Ze began to pay special attention to this group of Shanghai opera students at school.

have to say.

It can't be compared with Class 96 of Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama.

But there are still a lot of familiar faces inside.

Among the freshmen, Huang Ze saw Bao Lei, Lu Yi, Luo Haiqiong, Berlin Film Festival winner Wang Jingchun, and Tian Yu and Tong Lei from “Bright Sword”.

Among the sophomores is the health forward, Ma Yili.

There are most familiar faces among the juniors, including Li Bingbing, Li Yu who later passed away due to illness, Ren Quan, Liu Xiaofeng who played Liu Yanchang in "The Lotus Lantern", Wang Yanan, and Jiang Xiao in "Escape from the Claws".

There are only a few fewer familiar faces among the seniors.

"The image of your batch of Shanghai Opera students is quite good!" Huang Ze half sighed, and half gave the school some face.

There are people carrying people in sedan chairs.

Of course, no matter how many familiar faces there are, Huang Ze can't find anyone else except Li Bingbing that he wants to sign.

So I went directly to the next environment.

Let the actresses perform a martial arts performance.

Look at the shape and figure!
For a female killer in modern clothes, figure is quite important. It doesn’t matter how big the cup size is, the key is to be slender and have a sharp look overall.

“You, you, you, you!”

Finally, Huang Ze selected four people and brought them to an office in the school to conduct further auditions.

A few test questions were given and the four people were asked to perform.

After the four of them finished their performance, Li Bingbing was called back in.

"Will you sign my Xinghai?"

"If you sign, the role in the Rush Hour sequel is yours."

"Me?" Li Bingbing looked as if pie had fallen from the sky and was very surprised.

Because in her opinion, her qualifications were not even in the top two among the four people.

Why did Director Huang choose me?

But even though she was surprised, she still knew what she should do in this situation, and nodded repeatedly, "No problem, I am willing to join your company, Director Huang."

"Okay, that's settled. Someone from our company will come to sign you in a few days. Once you sign the contract, you can go to Hong Kong Island to practice martial arts in advance and prepare for the filming."

"it is good!"

"But Director Huang."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Huang Ze asked.

"Can I know why you chose me?" Li Bingbing's face was still full of surprise, and there was still a hint of curiosity in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
