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

Chapter 449 The Unexpected Heroine

When Yan Zi saw that Li Mingyang was really going to Hollywood, she expressed her regret beyond words.

After chatting for a few more words, he left.

I have an audition early tomorrow morning.

Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian also left the meeting room.

Taking the elevator to the 30th floor, when he was about to reach the door of the room, Li Mingyang suddenly felt a piercing pain, and the effect of telepathy disappeared.

It's better to turn on the serious state.

Back in the suite, Li Mingyang couldn't stop sweating and felt pain on his forehead.

The large duplex executive suite was kept very tidy and clean, and the sundries that were originally scattered all over the floor were put away by the new shelves.

Shirahama was sitting at the computer desk in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, still busy.

"You're back?" Bai Bin looked up at Li Mingyang and said.

"Well, how's it going."

"It will take another two or three hours."

Li Mingyang nodded and didn't want to talk anymore. He went to the bathroom on the first floor, took out Jing Tian's ointment and applied it. A cool feeling came over him and Li Mingyang felt much better. Then he turned on the floor heating and the bathroom heater and lay directly on the floor.

Since Yang Tianzhen was falsely accused, she would not have tens of millions.

Li Mingyang calculated that she had embezzled five million.

2500 million, there is still a gap of 7500 million.

The filming cost of Weathering With You is not high, and the pay is not given in one lump sum. If you make a good shooting plan, you can actually shoot it with 20 million, and the bulk of the money comes from post-production special effects.

"Let's just shoot it first... Why is the copyright of the witch so hard to sell..."

The copyright of the witch is difficult to sell...

The main reason is that the Koreans are not fair and honest. They revealed the copyright price of 20 US dollars, which caused the witch to be severely pressured to lower the price.

The Rays have been in talks, but none for more than $20.

No rush...

"The aftereffects of arbitrarily lowering prices..."

Li Mingyang lay on the ground and took out his cell phone to send messages to Tiantian, Mimi and Shishi. At first, it was fine because only Shishi replied.

After Mimi and Tiantian started to reply, Li Mingyang was a little overwhelmed.

He types a bit slowly.

Mimi sends messages quickly, frequently, and frequently...

It’s a bit tiring to chat with three people at the same time.

WeChat voice messaging was launched in May 2011.

But Li Mingyang never uses this function.

To prepare for the future.

"WeChat cannot be logged in from a computer yet, otherwise I could ask Xiaoyu to do it for me..."

While sending WeChat messages, Li Mingyang complained that WeChat was developing too slowly.

After staying in the bathroom for more than an hour, Li Mingyang finally discovered that under normal circumstances, the pain was not very severe and he could bear it.

If you are stimulated, the pain will be severe.

The erotic photos of themselves in bed that Mimi posted were too exciting.

He rolled on the ground in pain.

dong dong...

"Director Li, I'm done." Bai Bin knocked on the door and shouted.

Li Mingyang hummed and lay on the ground for another ten minutes before he got up and opened the door.

"Director Li, are you okay?" Bai Bin looked at Li Mingyang, who was sweating profusely and looked very haggard, and asked with concern.

"fine."

Li Mingyang came to the computer desk, moved the mouse, and looked at the project schedule made by Bai Bin.

Baibin is very careful. He writes every item in the project schedule in great detail and clarity, much better than Xiaoyu's.

Zhong Xiaoyu was quite serious at the beginning, but later on he became more and more frivolous. I won’t write about the unimportant parts.

"Well done." Li Mingyang praised.

"It's nothing. I'll rest first." Bai Bin stood in front of the table and spoke slowly.

"Well, there are many guests today and there are no rooms left in the hotel. You can stay upstairs," said Li Mingyang.

When Bai Bin heard this, he curled his lips and said with a smile: "Director Li, then... I'll go upstairs to prepare, you come early."

"Go to sleep by yourself." Li Mingyang waved his hand without even raising his head.

Bai Bin's face froze. She was a little confused about what Li Mingyang meant.
It has come to this... You are so emotional, why don’t you sleep?

What's wrong with playing a friendly match?!

Bai Bin looked back every few steps, but saw Li Mingyang staring at the laptop screen and never looking at him once.

Not charming enough?

No! He sucks really hard!
wack……

Baibin came upstairs and stood between the two doors. He looked left and right and chose the one on the left. There was a floor-to-ceiling window covering the entire wall. Even without turning on the lights, he could see the layout of the room clearly. It was a very large bedroom with a bathtub next to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Snapped.

Turn on the lights, and you will see a gray carpet with white lines and warm-toned wallpaper. On the left side of the door is a set of neo-Chinese style sofas and a coffee table, and on the right is the bathroom, which has separate dry and wet areas and a large sink.

Beyond the black hollow partition is a large Chinese-style bed.

Shirahama opened the closet and saw two sets of bathrobes and disposable slippers hanging inside.

"This shouldn't be the room he lives in, right? Never mind, I'll take a shower first, and then take the initiative..." Shirahama ran downstairs to get his suitcase.

When going downstairs, Bai Bin took a few special glances at Li Mingyang, with an extremely focused expression, as if he was ignoring her.

Just wait for me, little guy.

I can't cure you!
Shirahama carried the suitcase back to the bedroom, and then began to take off clothes, remove makeup, wash her face, wash her hair, wash her whole body, do skin care, apply body lotion, spray perfume, blow-dry her hair, and blow-dry her whole body.

Finally, in front of the bathroom mirror, she applied light pink lipstick and put on a white bathrobe with a deep V-neck from neck to waist.

Shirabin fiddled with his hair and looked at himself sexy and charmingly. "Don't be ungrateful! If you don't touch me today, you will never touch me again in your life."

Bai Bin looked in the mirror, made his expression look a little more aloof, and walked out with a sullen face.

She walked confidently, then reached the stairs, looked down, and was stunned. She squatted suddenly, and crawled back to the room faster than when she came out.

Close the door gently.

"What kind of people are you? It's almost twelve o'clock, and you're still not sleeping..."

Just a quick glance, Bai Bin saw two strangers sitting at the computer desk, they seemed to be a man and a woman.

Upstairs, Bai Bin sat on the ground, leaning against the door, looking at his white flowers, feeling helpless and frustrated.

"What are you talking about so late?"

Bai Bin suddenly became curious, so he opened the door again, got on all fours, and crawled out. When he was still a few meters away from the corridor, he lay on the ground.

Upstairs, Baibin pricked up his ears and eavesdropped.

Downstairs, Li Mingyang was smoking a cigarette while listening to Zhang Wei’s report on the hotel’s business operations.

Li Mingyang actually didn't want to listen because the Bouquet Hotel had been operating at a loss.

Although the loss.

But the operation of the Bouquet Hotel is on the right track under Zhang Wei's management.

The biggest problem facing the Bouquet Hotel now is those anchors. How to get rid of them?

Female anchors are so troublesome…there are all kinds of people.

There are actually people renting houses near the hotel and selling them.

There were more than a dozen people involved.

No one can solve the problem of selling in the live streaming industry.

I can't control it!

Huya cleared itself of the responsibility and left the problem to him.

"Mr. Li, the Bouquet Hotel will be the only hotel in the Science Fiction Film and Television City in the future. These anchors must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise it will be bad for the reputation of the hotel."

"Without their rent, what would we eat?"

"I've calculated that we can take over the light's activities, which is enough to offset the losses."

Enlight Media is the largest event company in China, hosting more than ten famous entertainment award ceremonies and hundreds of entertainment events every year.

Such as the National Opera Festival, Huabiao Awards, Golden Rooster Awards, Hundred Flowers Awards, Directors Guild Awards, etc.

It also hosts the premieres of blockbuster films.

Such as "House of Flying Daggers", "Assembly", "Red Cliff", "Mei Lanfang", "If You Are the One"...

If the Bouquet Hotel could host one third of these events, it would be enough for it to make money.

The idea is good, but the reality is...

The organizer will designate the hotel and get kickbacks.

Some hotels are even opened by others.

"Let's talk about it later." Li Mingyang said.

"When?" Zhang Wei asked.

Li Mingyang was a little annoyed and looked up at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei stared at him expressionlessly. After staring at each other for a long time, Zhang Wei suddenly tilted her head, as if asking if she had said something wrong.

"I'll talk to Mr. Wang tomorrow."

Zhang Wei hummed, nodded, put the plan on the table, and left.

Dapeng looked back at Zhang Wei who was leaving, confirmed that she had left, and closed the door, then said with a sly smile: "Brother Li, the manager you found has a very unique personality! Your words are useless."

"What's the matter that brings you to see me so late at night?" Li Mingyang opened the plan and quickly flipped through it.

"Brother Li, I also want to go to Hollywood!" Dapeng volunteered.

"I was forced to do this. Why are you interfering? Just stay in the country."

"No, Brother Li, I also want to go abroad!" Dapeng said anxiously.

Dapeng now regrets being the director of Far Cry.

If he didn't want to be the director, he wouldn't compete for the billion-dollar director title.

Then he fell into the deep pit of Zhao Dashan.

Zhao Dashan's apprentice sounds impressive and is quite useful, but Zhao Dashan is too nosy and even knocks on the door...

He really didn't make much money.

On the contrary, everyone else at that time really took off!

Old Wu is truly second only to the first person. If he weren't a director, he would at least be second only to the second person.

There is also a silly girl named Li Ming, who became a multi-millionaire in the blink of an eye.

This is what he can't accept the most!
Also, although Qiao Shan is a contractor, each project he is in charge of is worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions!
Getting fatter and fatter...

"You'd better stay with your master..." Li Mingyang refused.

"Brother Li!" Dapeng knelt down with a thud and banged his head on the ground. He didn't want to follow his master anymore. His master was too stingy and he really couldn't stand it anymore.

"It's lonely at the top. My current situation is not as good as you think." Li Mingyang said in a deep voice: "You should just stay with Zhao Dashan. Once a teacher, always a father. Don't say bad things about him. Do you understand?"

"I know." Dapeng said hesitantly.

Li Mingyang put down the plan left by Zhang Wei, his thoughts as meticulous as ever.

She is very familiar with the tricks in the capital circle. Li Mingyang turned his eyes to the computer screen, which showed the QQ chat history interface.

He had read all of Shirahama's chats over the past few days.

This is a very ambitious woman.

A power-obsessed...

The difference between her and Zhang Wei is that Zhang Wei is obsessed with power.

But Baibin just thought it was interesting and enjoyed teaching others how to do things and ordering people around.

Zhang Wei understands capital but not the entertainment industry.

Bai Bin understands the entertainment industry, but does not understand capital.

Otherwise...it wouldn't be so ridiculous to think that I could live a good life after leaving Yinghuang.

The logic of capital is the same.

What she did in Yinghuang.

New Capital will still treat her the same way, and she can't escape the fate of being a drinking companion.

What will be the effect if Zhang Wei and Bai Bin complement each other's strengths and weaknesses?

Li Mingyang closed his eyes, scratched his forehead, thought for a while, and felt that the effect would not be good.

Bai Bin will probably be badly beaten by Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei is not a person who likes to share power, she would rather shoulder it all.

She should be divorced, right?!

Divorced, no kids, no husband, workaholic.

Why not work?

This kind of woman is scary!

"Brother Li, what are you worried about? As long as you say the word, I will go through fire and water for you." Dapeng smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Li Mingyang.

Li Mingyang took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and blew out a stream of smoke. "That Zhang Wei is too powerful. I'm afraid that after I leave, Old Wu won't be able to handle him."

"With all the fighting among the people below, your position is stable, Brother Li! If everyone is harmonious, you won't be afraid of being sidelined!" Dapeng laughed.

"As expected of someone who comes from a big company, you know a lot!"

"I know a little bit, a little bit." Dapeng said modestly.

"Zhang Chaoyang has secured his throne, but I am still on the edge of a volcano. We must unite and face the outside world with one voice!"

"It's easy for you to stay in China. If you leave..." Dapeng pointed at himself, "I am absolutely loyal to Brother Li! You can give me a position and I will help you look after it."

Haha, let me show you, the weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken.

I don't know what corruption is like.

……

December 9, 2 a.m.

Weathering With You casting started right on time.

There are five important characters in Weathering with You: Hodaka Morishima, Haruna Amano, Nagi Amano, Keisuke Suga and Natsumi Suga.

The male protagonist, Morishima Hodaka, corresponds to Takaho.

The heroine, Amano Haruna, corresponds to Yang Cai.

The heroine's younger brother, Amano Nagi, corresponds to Yang Feng.

Keisuke Suga and Natsumi Suga, uncle and niece, correspond to Xia Changqing and Natsumi.

Apart from these five important characters, there are not many other characters.

A few policemen, some customers, a fortune-telling grandmother, guest appearances by Sanye and Lin Xing, and a few little girls.

And then it’s gone…

The relationships between the characters in Weathering With You are not complicated.

There is no need for an audition for the male lead, as Hu Ge has already been confirmed.

Auditions start with the kids.

The heroine's younger brother, two female classmates of the heroine's younger brother, and Xia Changqing's daughter.

The heroine's younger brother, Li Mingyang chose Wu Lei.

Three little girls, Juanjuan, Guan Gege, and Zhang Zifeng.

Xia Changqing and Xia Mei.

Xia Mei, Li Mingyang looked around at the girls and finally gave it to Su Chang.

Xia Changqing and Li Mingyang originally wanted to give it to Wu Jing, or Zhang Jiayi or Sun Honglei.

But they all played Your Name.

In the end, Li Mingyang chose Huang Bo.

There were more than 300 actors and actresses who auditioned, including more than 60 children.

There were more than forty actresses competing for the female lead role.

Yang Ying, Ah Sa, Wen Yongshan, Tang Yixin, Ying Er, Tan Songyun, Mao Xiaotong, Xu Lu, Wan Qian,

Gao Yuanyuan, Fan Binbin, Zhang Meng, Jinsha, Lin Zhilin, Li Bingbing, Zhang Tianai...

All the young actresses, those who think they are young, are here.

At 12:30 noon, the female lead audition began.

The three-person production team headed by Wang Changtian, the bosses of major film and television companies who watched the audition, and eighteen mainstream media outlets.

Everyone is curious about who director Li Mingyang will choose as the female lead in the end.

One by one, actresses arrived at the banquet hall for the audition.

Walking onto the stage, facing more than a hundred people in the audience and more than thirty cameras, I introduced myself according to the procedure, performed a free performance, and then performed a performance according to the several pages of Weathering with You script given by the interviewer.

More than twenty actresses came on stage, and none of them were left behind.

Just when everyone was speculating whether it was an internal decision.

Gao Yuanyuan walked in wearing a blue and white school uniform and white canvas shoes.

There is a red carpet more than 30 meters long from the gate to the stage.

Under the guidance of the staff, Gao Yuanyuan confidently walked onto the stage and began to follow the procedure.

Thirty-two-year-old Gao Yuanyuan actually didn't want to come. At her age, she was competing with a little girl for the role of a high school student.

A little shameful.

When she learned that both Bing and Shuang were going to compete, she felt that she could still give it a try.

She looks much younger than these two...

Gao Yuanyuan just came to give it a try and didn't think she could succeed.

However, she had already got Chen Kaige's Searching for the Female Lead, so she felt confident.

Just come for fun and meet the talented Chinese director Li Mingyang.

The first thing Gao Yuanyuan saw when she walked in was Li Mingyang.

The iconic sunglasses are so easy to recognize.

However, unlike the Sunglasses King, for whom wearing sunglasses is a habit and a symbol.

Li Mingyang just didn't want to cause unnecessary confusion because of his appearance.

This is what she heard from her friends.

It feels exaggerated.

Handsome guy? There is never a shortage of handsome guys in the entertainment industry!

Li Mingyang is just average-looking and handsome, and the reason why it is easy to cause confusion is just that his fans are too crazy.

Although she had it in her mindset to have fun, Gao Yuanyuan had made sufficient preparations and had memorized the script of Weathering With You by heart.

After a smooth performance, Gao Yuanyuan stood back in front of the microphone in the center of the stage.

I waited for the trial with mixed feelings.

The script of Weathering With You is not as good as Your Name.

But in the Chinese-language film industry, it is still a rare movie with a female lead.

Even before filming started, it was already scheduled to be released throughout Asia.

China Film Group has even joined forces with all cinema chains to offer an unprecedented box office share ratio of up to 50%!
Li Mingyang is asked to strive for a box office of 20 billion.

For other directors, a box office of over 100 million is considered a huge success.

For Li Mingyang, a box office of over 100 million is just the minimum requirement...

Even though the domestic film The Witch made a huge splash, its box office was only a pitiful 3570 million.

But the box office of "The Witch" in Korea is almost 3000 million US dollars...

The global box office has already exceeded 2 million...

Li Mingyang can not only get box office in the local area, but also get box office overseas.

As time went by and there was no response, Gao Yuanyuan began to get anxious.

She was eliminated directly, so she had no more thoughts.

But he didn't say anything for a long time.

She had a "what if" thought in her mind, what if she really got selected?

Weathering With You is the path to success for Asian actresses. After so many years in the industry, the only thing she’s missing is a movie like Weathering With You with a female lead that can be released throughout Asia.

Gao Yuanyuan twisted her legs restlessly.

This is more exciting than falling in love! I can't stand it anymore.

Gao Yuanyuan blushed and looked pitifully at Li Mingyang in the audience.

He decided all the actors, and the others were just suggestions...

"Weathering With You will start filming on the 5th. Are you available?" Li Mingyang said.

The whole place was in an uproar.

Li Mingyang, who has been calling for high school students since the project began.

He actually chose Gao Yuanyuan, who was in her thirties.

"You actually chose her!"

"Well... although he is indeed too old, his image is quite suitable..."

"It feels like Xu Dahua is going to explode!"

"Do you have to be so fake that you actually cried."

"Anyone who touches Yang Cai will cry. Gao Yuanyuan is so famous!"

"Fuck! Gao Yuanyuan jumped down! What does he want to do?!"

The stage was built temporarily and was only about half a meter high.

Gao Yuanyuan jumped off the stage, bowed to thank the interviewers, and finally stood in front of Li Mingyang, her face flushed, and she said breathlessly: "Thank you Director Li, thank you Director Li, I will definitely do my best and will not let you down."

"Is there something wrong with your health? You're already panting after walking just this short distance. Work starts on the 5th. You should exercise more. Filming my scenes is very strenuous."

Li Mingyang took off his sunglasses, glanced at Gao Yuanyuan, and their eyes met.

no problem?
No way, Gao Yuanyuan doesn’t like peach blossom eyes?

Well, I’m already in my thirties and have experienced too many scumbags. I’m no longer a simple little girl.
