Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 123 Halfway Done

Xu Ming got Gong Li's phone number.

He didn't rush to call anyone, but turned to contact Mr. Han from China Film.

"Uncle Han, are you busy? I want to report to you about some information about Director Zhang's new play." Xu Ming said.

"You said."

Han Sanping raised his hand to interrupt his subordinate's speech and listened attentively to the sound on the phone.

Xu Ming usually doesn't contact him, and when he does it's always important matters.

"I would like to ask Gong Li to play the role of Li Hongqin in "Dear". Do you think it's suitable?" Xu Ming said.

No matter what time it is, it is better to let your leader make decisions for you than to make decisions yourself without consulting him/her later.

Han Sanping raised his eyebrows, surprised by Xu Ming's bold idea.

This kid is really bold.

He groaned and said, "It's definitely suitable, but isn't it a little unrealistic?"

"I think it requires efforts from all sides. Gong Li has agreed to contact me, which is an intention," Xu Ming hinted.

It would be difficult for him alone to influence the thinking of Gong Li and her agent, but with the addition of Han Sanping, he would have more confidence.

"You said Gong Li agreed to contact you?"

Han Sanping was puzzled for a moment. Not many people in the country knew about the relationship between Master Zhang and Gong Li.

Then he realized the reason and said with a smile: "Okay, as long as you can convince Gong Li, we will take care of the rest."

Look, judging from this reaction, Uncle Han is indeed better than Uncle Jiang.

"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that." Xu Ming said.

"Well, go ahead and do it. As long as it doesn't violate the law or regulations, I'll take care of everything." Han Sanping said in a deep voice.

My Uncle Han, we would all feel guilty if we don’t call you godfather.

Xu Ming was having a lot of inner drama, but on the surface he said calmly, "Okay."

Putting away his phone, he tentatively sent the other party a text message, asking when it would be convenient for him to call.

If the other party doesn't reply, he will wait until tomorrow and call directly.

Fortunately, Gong Li called him back after a while.

"Teacher Gong, I'm Xu Ming." Xu Ming said.

"Yeah, I know. What is it?"

Gong Li's voice did not sound condescending, but rather gentle.

"We think you are the most suitable heroine for our new film, which is about fighting human trafficking. I would like to ask if you have the schedule to star in it?" Xu Ming said.

He actually had a filter towards Gong Li, but he calmed down a lot after the call was connected.

No matter how bad it is, we will pay for it.

There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone, obviously not expecting Xu Ming to be so direct.

Three seconds later, Gong Li said, "Is it the one Director Zhang is preparing?"

Listen, this is to keep an eye on Director Zhang’s movements.

"Yes, the film is called "Dear". It is led by Qiming Entertainment, with China Film, Wanda, Star Media and other groups participating in the investment and promotion. We guarantee that there will be no chance for new images to enter." Xu Ming emphasized the second half of the sentence.

Gong Li was fine at first, but couldn't help but chuckle when she heard the latter part: "You were an actor in "Three Guns" before, right? Why did you have a conflict with Zhang Dapao?"

"This guy is two-faced. He seems to be getting along well with you on the surface, but he stabs you in the back. I just can't stand his behavior, so I stood up and exposed his bad side."

Xu Ming half sincerely and half deliberately said something that the other party wanted to hear, "And he is also a very arrogant person. Once when we were having a meal together, he poked my master's head with his hand. Who could tolerate this?"

He only found out about this later.

No wonder the master wanted to protect me even when there was such a big turmoil later.

Perhaps this is the reason why Zhang Dapao stood up and criticized himself for being a big shot.

"Duplicate is a good word."

Gong Li just felt that the other party had become his substitute and helped him vent his anger.

"The reason I wanted to invite you, besides because you are the best actress in the country, is also partly because I personally hope that you and Director Zhang can put aside the commercial elements and work together again."

"The partnership between the two of you is my childhood memory. On the other hand, I also want to show Zhang Dapao that without him, Master Zhang will only be more prosperous."

Xu Ming spoke sincerely, this was the only way he could impress the other party.

Otherwise, Dear is not a good choice for Gong Li in terms of pay and prospects. He only has two cards in his hand from beginning to end, one is Zhang Guoshi and the other is Zhang Dapao.

The former is an emotional card, and the latter is a hatred card.

After saying this, Xu Ming did not ask the other party any further questions, but just waited quietly.

Gong Li thought for a long time and replied: "Send the script to my email and I will think about it."

"it is good."

Xu Ming clenched his hands into fists and swung them vigorously.

With this answer from the other party, half of the job is done.

……

The next week.

The "Dear" preparatory team has been sending out audition invitations continuously.

Some were chosen by Master Zhang, and some were suggested by Xu Ming.

Compared to the bleakness of "So Young" at that time.

This time, for the former's movie, almost no actor can refuse unless they really have no schedule.

As for Gong Li, there has been no news yet.

Xu Ming was not in a hurry either. Man proposes, God disposes. He had done what he could, and the rest depended on God's will.

Instead, I focused my energy on the rehearsal of "Should I Help You?"

"Auntie, do your family members know that you are so naughty?" Xu Ming asked.

"Haha, follow my lead, haha~"

Yu Yuexian's rough laughter echoed in the rehearsal room, giving everyone goosebumps.

To be honest, Xu Ming didn't expect that he could turn Xie Da Jiao into this state.

dong dong!

The door was pushed open, and it was the staff of "Dear".

"Teacher Xu, Director Zhang wants you to come over."

"Okay, let him wait, I'll be right there."

Xu Ming nodded, wiped his sweat with a towel, and said to the others: "You guys practice first, I'll go over and take a look."

After he finished speaking, he realized that the people in front of him seemed to be hesitant to talk.

"Is something wrong?"

"Mr. Xu, I want to ask about the audition for "Dear", can we participate?" Sun Yizhou asked cautiously.

They also want to participate in Master Zhang’s movies.

"Go ahead. It's right next door. If you submit your information, how can we not accept it?"

Xu Ming paused, looked at Yu Yuexian and said, "Sister Yu can also give it a try."

"Oh, me too?"

Yu Yuexian kept this matter to herself and was too embarrassed to speak out.

Hearing Xu Ming's initiative to agree, his face lit up, and he stood up and said, "Thank you, Mingzi."

"It's okay. I'll go over first."

Xu Ming glanced at the other party's DuangDuang position and said inwardly, "Don't look at it if it's inappropriate."

Hurried out the door.

Just around the corner is the "Dear" preparation room.

There were quite a few actors standing in the corridor, both big and small.

When they saw him, they all stood up.

"Hello, Teacher Xu."

"Hey, hello everyone. I'll have someone bring some warm water and some stools over later. Thank you for taking the time to come for the audition."

Xu Ming responded one by one with a smile.

When he reached the last person, he went up to him and gave him a hug: "Hey, Jun brother, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were here?"
