After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 371 If you want to squeeze people in, squeeze them into the witch group.

The domestic entertainment industry likes to cram people into film crews, this is an old tradition.

Especially now that Internet capital has entered the domestic entertainment industry and the era of traffic has quietly emerged.

The value of celebrities is infinitely magnified.

Not to mention first-line stars.

Second- and third-tier stars can give their management companies all the support they want.

Even if you don't do public relations and just make movies, you can earn astronomical figures that were previously unimaginable.

Movies are the most popular.

As a talented billion-dollar director in the domestic entertainment industry, Li Mingyang's movies are the best resources in the domestic entertainment industry.

Especially the female lead resources.

Bouquet of Flowers and Your Name are both rare films in the domestic entertainment industry with strong female protagonists.

But Liu Yifei and Jing Tian couldn't hold on.

Bouquet was not shortlisted for any awards.

Your name has been shortlisted for the 5th Asian Film Awards, with eight nominations, including Best Supporting Actor, but not Best Actress...

It was also shortlisted for the 11th Chinese Film Media Awards, with three nominations: Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay, but still no female lead.

Although the two women failed to carry the show, both films were highly recognized by people inside and outside the industry.

"You come back at this time, aren't you planning to receive the award?" Zuoshandiao said calmly after sitting down.

The 3th Asian Film Awards was held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on March 21.

The 11th Chinese Film Media Awards was held at the Dance Theatre in Macau on March 3.

For these two awards, Li Mingyang was too lazy to attend the award ceremony...

Although these two awards are grand events in the domestic entertainment industry, they are of high standards and feature a star-studded cast.

Except for Zhang Yimou who is too busy with The Flowers of War and has no time to go, all other big directors from mainland China will go to show their support.

But Li Mingyang never thought about the past.

Even if he wasn't busy, he wouldn't go. These two award ceremonies are a bit weird...

One of the venues is in Hong Kong.

One of the venues is in Macau, and when it comes to award judging, nine out of ten, from the chairman to the judges, are from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Li Mingyang doesn't want to have any contact with the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles now, and will not have any contact with them this year. He wants to put extreme pressure on the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles!

To put it bluntly, it means winning over your own people and suppressing dissidents!

Jiang Wen went to the Golden Image Academy to play a supporting role and became a clown.

Zuo Shandiao later came to settle the score, and the already difficult days in the Hong Kong circle came to an end in an instant.

Li Mingyang wants to let the Hong Kong community feel in advance the horror of reckoning.

Li Mingyang looked at Zuo Shandiao and smiled softly: "Don't we have Chen Jiashang? It's the same thing."

Tool man Chen Jiashang appears on the scene.

The eagle was so angry that he laughed.

"Director Li! Has the female lead for Weathering With You been decided?" Li Shaohong said amiably.

Li Mingyang glanced at Li Shaohong. The public opinion about the new Dream of the Red Chamber was overwhelming, and the whole network was criticizing it. Even the mainstream media couldn't stand her insulting the Dream of the Red Chamber so much, and they also criticized it, saying that it was impossible to save it.

Although his wisdom is gone, his reputation has collapsed.

But she never said anything bad about other people, and she even spoke up for Mimi... saying that in her eyes Qingwen was just like the one played by Yang Mi.

It can be said that he has taken full responsibility for the new Dream of the Red Chamber.

Although he has stopped working and dares not to film anymore, the bosses are very satisfied with his attitude.

In January 11, more than two months ago, she was unanimously elected as the president of the National Film Directors Association, becoming the first female president. She has been in office for thirteen years!
"not decided."

"Do you think Li Xin is suitable?"

"Let's not talk about this for now. We'll talk about it when the casting starts." Wang Changtian said.

Li Shaohong was a little unhappy, but still smiled and nodded, looking at Han Sanping.

Han Sanping lit a cigarette and said slowly, "Are you not satisfied with either of them?"

"What are you satisfied with? The male and female protagonists of Weathering With You are high school students! Shirahama is 25 years old, but looks 30! What else can Li Qin do besides crying?" Li Mingyang shook his head and said, "If you want to force someone in, put them in the witch."

Zuoshandiao and Li Shaohong looked at each other, and Li Shaohong hesitated.

I don't know when Weathering With You will be filmed.

The Witch will definitely be released in the summer, and it can also get the resources of Running Man.

Become famous sooner and make money sooner!
"Can we add one more?" Li Shaohong asked with a smile.

"If it's cheap, no problem."

"It's okay to work with Director Li, no matter if it's paid or not!" Li Shaohong said, and then added, "No need for money, it's okay to add two more, right?"

"Shao Hong, that's enough." Boss Zhao felt that his interests were offended and said immediately.

If we add one more person, it will take up one more spot for Running Man!

Li Mingyang looked at Zuoshandiao, "Master San, do you want to squeeze in another person?"

"What's your budget?"

"The total budget of the film is 50 million, and the salary is no more than 15 million."

Zuoshan Diao rubbed his cigarette in the ashtray and said, "Then let's go with Shirabin. Just give her a few seconds of screen time. She's also well-known."

Li Mingyang made an OK gesture.

Zuoshandiao nodded and led his men away...

The attitude of the Third Master...

Huang Haibo offended the Third Master and was quickly sent to the police station, where he stayed for half a year. Wasn't it because of Bai Bin?

It shouldn't be possible...

After the Golden Statue Award next year, Yinghuang will be hammered by Zuoshan Diaochu and bleed!
Shirahama's resources were also downgraded at that time.

……

Seeing that the discussion was almost over, Zuoshandiao left.

But Li Shaohong was quite curious about the casting of the witch, so she stayed, saying that she was there to help with the selection, but in fact she wanted to observe Li Mingyang's preferences for actors.

Li Mingyang didn't mind this, as he thought Li Shaohong's vision was fine.

It is not an exaggeration to say that one has a discerning eye for pearls.

Just can't keep people...

The witch audition begins.

The female lead went through the scene first. Most of the actresses who participated in the audition had no background. Those with backgrounds had known in advance that the female lead had been selected. There were more than a dozen actresses, and it took only more than ten minutes to finish. Finally, it was Liu Shishi's turn.

Liu Shishi wore a gray sports suit today and a high ponytail, looking heroic and full of energy.

Smile sweetly.

All the interviewers present nodded.

"Shishi, do you know any kind of boxing?" Li Mingyang asked.

“I know some Wing Chun and Tai Chi.”

"Anything else? Just play a set and let me see."

Liu Shishi nodded, assumed the starting posture of Tai Chi, and performed a piece of Tai Chi.

It is extremely difficult to achieve effective results with Tai Chi.

In the Chinese film industry, the best Tai Chi artist is Li Lianjie, no doubt about it.

Liu Shishi’s Tai Chi was just so-so. After that, she followed up with a set of Wing Chun.

She is pretty good at Wing Chun. Both Kara Hui and Zhen Zhidan taught her Wing Chun.

Liu Shishi is very good at wielding swords, spears, swords and sticks, and her leg skills are also excellent.

But the witch mainly uses close combat, punching hard into flesh.

This kind of soft boxing is useless...

You can't give the witch a dagger, that would be so cheap!
"I've already asked Sister Hong, you should learn some Hung Fist recently. The witch is different from the spy, and the main thing is to show the strength of the upper body."

"Can I use weapons?"

"The weapon is a pistol... and I mainly rely on fists in hand-to-hand combat. The performance of the legs is also somewhat different." Li Mingyang stood up and walked to Liu Shishi.

He took off his coat and started gesticulating.

Liu Shishi learns the movements very quickly and has a strong ability to apply what she has learned to other situations.

In addition, the two had worked together as spies before, and their tacit understanding grew better and better as they rehearsed their actions.

With one teaching and the other learning, the two people made rapid progress.

The other interviewers could only smile bitterly.

"This is such a great treatment!" Li Shaohong said with a smile.

"After all..." Wang Changtian was too lazy to continue and looked at the information of other actors.

Boss Zhao adjusted his glasses and looked Liu Shishi up and down. "She is gentle yet strong. I think her fighting skills are better than Liu Yifei's."

“He looks thin, but he has solid basic skills and is very explosive… He has a bit of a warrior-like feel. Of course, the most important thing is luck.” Li Shaohong savoured the taste.

It took more than ten minutes to figure out the action logic.

Li Mingyang returned to his seat and said, "Shishi, go back and rest first. The crew will send a car to pick you up tomorrow morning."

Liu Shishi nodded, turned and left. When she was almost at the door, she looked back and smiled.

Everyone laughed, which made Liu Shishi feel very embarrassed. She lowered her head and walked away quickly.

"I'm just curious, why would Jing Tian agree to this?" Wang Changtian was puzzled.

Li Mingyang chuckled and was about to call the next person when Zhang Ruoyun pushed the door open.

Zhang Ruoyun nodded and greeted the interviewers present one by one.

Finally, he came to Li Mingyang, squatted at his feet, and said in a flattering manner: "Mingyang, I'll take a few minutes of your time to chat."

Zhang Ruoyun had no choice but to go to the audition alone.

The actors were decided today, but Li Mingyang blocked him again and he was not shameless enough to come in.

He won't even be able to be a dog licker anymore.

A dog licker can also lick people. If he can't help Tang Yixin get the role, Tang Yixin will break up with him...

Li Mingyang looked at Zhang Ruoyun's dog-licking behavior and immediately knew that this guy was here for his girlfriend again.

Last year he swore that he was just making fun of others.

Later, I really fell in.

Li Mingyang gave Tang Yixin's role to Kan Qingzhi, and then asked Tang Yixin to play a palace maid.

Tang Yixin was really patient. She didn't say anything and didn't run away.

He, on the other hand, acted like a strong man and stood up for Tang Yixin. He was yelling in his office and even said that he was not trustworthy and that it was better for him not to be a brother.

The soul of this dog licker was burning fiercely and it was unbearable to look at, so Li Mingyang asked Wu Zhikui to throw him out.

Li Mingyang didn't want his brother to live such a miserable life in the future.
Since Zhang Ruoyun was looking for trouble, he was too lazy to stop her.

Respect other people's fate and block him directly.

Li Mingyang and Zhang Ruoyun went to the next room and chatted for a while. Zhang Ruoyun's nature of being a bootlicker is deeply rooted in her bones. There is no hope for her. She is still looking for resources for Tang Yixin.

Li Mingyang originally wanted to get rid of Zhang Ruoyun.

But Zhang Ruoyun suddenly knelt down, "Mingyang! I was wrong last time. I haven't had many friends since I was a child. You are my best friend, you must help me! I really like Yixin. Although you all say that she is not good and not worthy of me, it is enough for me to like her. If she is happy, I am happy. If she is sad, I am sad too."

Li Mingyang rolled his eyes and picked Zhang Ruoyun up from the ground. "Resources are not given that way... She is from Huayi!"

"The contract has been terminated."

"Forehead……"

"Don't worry, she is just my girlfriend now."

"There will be a penalty for terminating the contract..."

"She is not famous, and she terminated the contract for one million."

“Who gave the money?”

"I gave it to her, but she said she would return it to me. I don't really need that little money. As long as she's happy..."

You are hopeless, why don't you just die...

Li Mingyang hated him for not fighting back and really wanted to pin him to the ground and beat him up...

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed.

Li Mingyang looked at Zhang Ruoyun again and immediately laughed.

My dear son! My dear son!
Zhang Ruoyun's irritating look is perfect for the role of a nobleman.

The movie Witch is a real action movie with a female lead.

There is no male lead.

If you must find a male lead.

The young man, who was arrogant in the early stage but began to doubt his life after being beaten by a witch in the later stage, can barely be considered the male protagonist.
