Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 295 Who's playing whom is still uncertain

Mr. Cao has been working incredibly hard lately. In the period leading up to the Spring Festival, he was either writing scripts or on his way to write scripts.

The task of purchasing New Year's goods was left to the women.

"Teacher Fan, I think workers are the most beautiful people. Without the hard work of workers all over the world, what would we eat? Without the labor of ordinary people, what would we wear? If we had nothing to eat or wear, what would we have to be vain about?"

The famous Spring Festival Gala program, "Red Sorghum Model Team," was created in this year.

Yang Yuying's song "Come Home Often" made the sweet girl popular again.

Surprisingly, this song became just as popular as "My 1997" after the Spring Festival.

While watching TV, the crowd didn't envy Yang Yuying, but rather Chen Hong, who was pregnant with Cao Jian's child.

But the celebrations of the Spring Festival were not yet over when, on February 19, the passing of an elderly man plunged China into grief. Although this man had played a key role in Hong Kong's return to China, he was unable to witness it.

Cao Jian, who had just finished celebrating the Spring Festival, had already returned to Hong Kong.

"Sister Gong Li, it's so nice to see you."

As filming for "2046" was about to begin, Gong Li also came to Hong Kong as agreed.

To everyone's surprise, Cao Jian gave him a big hug as soon as they met.

"May I say that this courtesy is ill-intentioned?"

Gong Li was taken advantage of last time, and this time she was hugged, so she's probably used to it by now, but I still want to make a joke about it.

Cao Jiancai wasn't buying it and laughed, "I never had good intentions. I just like Sister Gong Li, is that wrong?"

"Sure, of course, I can't stop you."

Gong Li really admired this young man; his skin was indeed thicker than a city wall.

However, being liked by a handsome and rich man is ultimately a source of pride for a woman.

Cao Jian is actually very busy; he has many dramas to film.

The reason I chose the relatively unknown film "2046" was to woo Gong Li.

It might take Wang Jiawei a year, or even longer, to film this movie.

But Mr. Cao didn't have that much time. Filming started in February, and after attending the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony, he had to go to the United States in May to deal with the blizzard situation.

I wrote a script for 20th Century Fox and listed my name on it, but I didn't actually go there.

Once "Titanic" is released and his reputation is established, he plans to make several foreign films.

Since time was tight, Cao Jian didn't delay and filming for "2046" began a week later.

The lead actor in this film is Tony Leung, and the female leads are Gong Li and Wang Fei. Supporting actresses include Wang Zuxian, Zhang Ziyi, and Dong Jie.

Cao Jian plays the role of Takuya Kimura in this film, who is Wang Fei's lover.

The fact that Dong Jie was able to film such a movie with a senior actor right after signing the contract almost moved the young girl to tears.

But at this moment, Cao Jian only wanted to get to know Gong Li as soon as possible.

As a seasoned director who has already directed several films, and with Cao Jian having seen the film beforehand, the filming process went very smoothly.

The plot of the movie is actually not complicated. It was mainly filmed in two rooms, "2046" and "2047", and tells the story between the male protagonist and several women.

2046 represents the past and memories, and 2047 represents the future.

Although Gong Li plays Su Lizhen, the male lead's favorite, she also plays another Su Lizhen, the Black Spider. The two roles mainly appear at the beginning and in flashbacks.

The other female lead is Zhang Ziyi.

It's quite rare to have a current Best Actress and a future Best Actress in the same movie.

Although Zhang Ziyi's figure isn't great, it has to be said that the students from the Central Academy of Drama are indeed quite talented. Although it was her first time playing an important role in a major film, she performed really well.

Although Dong Jie is not from a professional acting background, under Cao Jian's careful guidance, she portrayed a lively and enthusiastic young girl realistically.

"This Director Cao, he really has some talent for directing."

In this film, different characters are portrayed using different color tones, giving the film a silhouette-like beauty while highlighting melancholy, sadness, and loneliness.

On this point alone, Gong Li couldn't help but admire Cao Jian's filming skills.

Apart from Dong Jie and Zhang Ziyi, all the other actors are very experienced.

"Crack!"

Looking at Gong Li, dressed in all black like an elegant black rose, Cao Jian admired her for a few more moments. Suddenly, he yelled "Cut!" and shouted into the microphone, "Gong Li, your gaze just now wasn't alluring enough. You're a veteran actress; do I have to teach you this?"

"Not seductive enough?"

Gong Li was somewhat unconvinced; she had already been alluring enough, and she was afraid that if she were any more seductive, the other party wouldn't be able to resist.

"Make her even more alluring, but also a little aloof."

Cao Jian stood in front of the monitor, controlling the filming.

"Alluring? Aloof?"

Upon hearing this request, the other actors present all felt that the director was deliberately making things difficult for the actresses.

Can allure and aloofness coexist?
Gong Li initially thought that Cao Jian was making things difficult for her in order to pursue her.

But then she thought about it and couldn't help but think to herself, "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! His requirements really bring out the female lead's style." Her aloofness is to avoid making men think she's a promiscuous woman.

Her allure was meant to keep the man from leaving.
She considered the director's request, then leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette.

"call"

This aloof, queen-like demeanor, coupled with her alluring gaze, made Cao Jian really want to give this woman a good beating.

"She really pulled off the look of both allure and aloofness! How did she do it?"

"Gong Li is a film queen."

"It turns out that Director Cao's request wasn't just being difficult; he actually made such a request, and Gong Li was able to fulfill it."

The crowd whispered among themselves, but to Gong Li, it suddenly felt a little strange.

My performance just now will definitely be the most outstanding part in the movie.

Without Director Cao's guidance, I probably wouldn't have been able to act it out.

Would you call this mutually beneficial?

Am I destined to be with him?
After a day of filming, Cao Jian looked at Gong Li, who was bending over to pack her things, and noticed her upturned cheeks. He couldn't help but come over and say, "Sister Gong Li, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together and talk about the upcoming scenes."

Li Xiaoran, who was standing next to Cao Jian, pursed her lips and thought to herself, "Are you here to give some pointers on the play?"
I'm embarrassed to point it out to you.

This is her philandering boyfriend, who is also very good to her.

The other is a veteran actress, who could only choose to remain silent.

Even if Li Xiaoran didn't point it out, Gong Li understood what Director Cao meant. Turning around, she even gave Cao Jian a flirtatious look and said with a smile, "Director Cao, do you want to talk about the film, or do you have other ideas?"

"You saw it."

Cao Jian did not deny it, and even asked, "Are you willing?"

"If someone invites me to dinner, of course I won't be polite."

Although Gong Li understood Cao Jian's purpose, she found him to be very attractive to girls.

On set, Dong Jie and Zhang Ziyi were among the girls who tried to get close to Cao Jian and make their presence known to him.

Gong Li has been feeling pretty good lately because she doesn't pursue pretty young women and directors only flatter her.

In a Western restaurant, half a bottle of red wine was quickly consumed, and Gong Li also decided to confront the situation.

"Director Cao, do you really want to pursue me? Will you marry me?"

"No, but I will be good to you."

"So you mean you just want to play around with me?"

"Not really. Like I said before, it's mainly because I like you."

"You're just playing around?"

At this point, Gong Li didn't care how many girlfriends Cao Jian had before, but wasn't the point of dating to get married?
Cao Jian didn't want to answer, so he asked instead, "Then let me ask you, do you like me?"

"I"

Gong Li paused for a moment, then said, "I have feelings for you."

"Since that's the case, you can play with me, and I'll gladly oblige."

"puff"

Gong Li didn't know what to say about Cao Jian.

But this man is handsome; it might be fun to play around with him.
Soon, the remaining half bottle of wine was gone.

“Sister Gong Li, tomorrow we’re filming the scene where you cry when the male lead leaves. Why don’t we come to my house and discuss it?”

"No, I'm just playing with you. If we're going to a hotel, I'll offer to go."

Gong Li was a little drunk, and the two of them helped each other and swayed as they got into the car.

"Who's messing with whom is still uncertain."

Cao Jian secretly rejoiced, knowing that his wish was about to come true.

Upon arriving at the hotel and entering the room, Gong Li turned around and hugged Cao Jian's neck, saying, "Young man, you're quite handsome. Don't leave tonight."

"Sister Gong Li, please don't do this."

"Don't do anything?"

Since Cao Jian wants to act, let's play along.

Moreover, Gong Li, after drinking, planned to indulge herself once, hoping that this man would stop bothering her in the future.

She lifted Cao Jian's chin, looked at his handsome face, and smiled, "Give your sister a smile. If you smile well, there will be a reward."

"hey-hey."

Cao Jian hadn't expected that this woman would get so into character.

He had barely finished laughing when Gong Li kissed him. Then, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, their clothes gradually came off.

Gong Li has such a great figure!
