Huayu: Are you even sitting up straight? You're going to be the director?

Chapter 118 Preventing Bingbing from being glib and making Mimi learn English

In Nanjing, inside a hotel.

Fan Bingbing, after listening to Director Cao's entire speech, had a strange expression on her face.

Having listened to the entire conversation, Fan Bingbing naturally knew who was on the other end of the phone.
The Hong Kong distributor of "Ailing" is the renowned Mr. Jiang.

Fan Bingbing had even met this person a few times before.
At that time, Fan Bingbing couldn't even get close to Jiang Zhiqiang.

And at this moment, the figure she looked up to...

Surprisingly, on the other end of the phone, Director Cao confronted me sharply, refusing to back down.

The most outrageous thing is that they actually reached a cooperation agreement.

They even blacklisted Tang Wei, who was under Jiang's control?
Fan Bingbing's expression changed drastically.

Director Cao's young body contains immense energy that she finds difficult to handle.

Although Fan Bingbing couldn't hear what Jiang Zhiqiang was saying,

Fan Bingbing heard Cao Zhong's words clearly.

Even during Cao Zhong's phone call just now, Fan Bingbing even wanted to take the initiative to do something ruthless to Cao Zhong.

The hotel is quite luxurious, with green plants growing inside.

She just brushed her teeth and came back to water Cao Zhong's money tree.

But Cao Zhong refused.

Fan Bingbing knew that Director Cao was afraid that she would mess things up, so she remained quiet and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

At this moment, the phone was hung up.

Only then did Fan Bingbing dare to move. She took a few steps forward, sat on Cao Zhong's lap, and kissed him, her eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.

"Honey, are you aiming for Hollywood? I only caught bits and pieces of your phone call earlier, but I've never seen such confidence in anyone else before."

Cao Zhong shook his head: "It's not me. I know how to handle some film production. If you'd like, after 'We Live in Nanjing,' I should be able to get you a role in one. How's your English?"

“I…” Fan Bingbing said, “My English has a very plastic accent.”

“Take some time to study on your own when you’re not on set,” Cao Zhong said. “You have to seize the opportunities yourself, otherwise there’s nothing I can do.”

Fan Bingbing didn't know whether to be happy or nervous, and pouted at Cao Zhong.
"You already said you gave me a chance, but you still have to say things to hurt me. You've scared me half to death."

"I will definitely study English hard. I can't let Li Bingbing have such a good opportunity for no reason."

Fan Bingbing cheered herself up. She didn't know about others, but Li Bingbing's English was incredibly fluent.

After saying the name aloud, Fan Bingbing had already prioritized English in her mind.

“Watch your mouth. I know you female celebrities like to compete with each other, but spreading this news is not a good thing for you.”

Upon hearing Li Bingbing's name, Cao Zhong glanced at Fan Bingbing, his fingers tracing her long, shapely legs.

Fan Bingbing's legs are very thin and long, but they aren't the typical "chopstick legs"; they still have a lot of flesh on them.

Seeing Cao Zhong repeatedly stroking her leg, Fan Bingbing spoke gently, her eyes became watery, and she deliberately raised her leg upwards.

"So Director Cao likes legs, huh? Here, look all you want, touch all you want."

Cao Zhong smiled and shook his head softly.

Do you think I want to see your legs?

I just want to see the places you like to go, the paths you've walked, try to understand you, and see if your legs can carve out a path that truly belongs to you in Hollywood.

Fan Bingbing's face immediately changed, and she felt like crying.

She looked at Cao Zhong with deep affection, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Honey, I really don't know what to say."

She grabbed Cao Zhong's neck and gave him a passionate kiss.

She was incredibly proactive and had no intention of letting go. She could feel Cao Zhong's hands still roaming, making the kiss quite lingering. Cao Zhong did indeed quite like Fan Bingbing's plump, fleshy legs, and was thinking that next time he could get her some black stockings.

"Were you trying to do something just now?"

After he had lost interest in touching her, Cao Zhong felt that it was just a pair of legs and really boring, so he reminded her.

Fan Bingbing indicated that she understood.

So Cao Zhong began to experience the smell of plastic.

On the other hand, Cao Zhong was considering which movies to choose for his Hollywood film project.

Although he decided to send Fan Bingbing to Hollywood to film some movies later.
But now she's filming "We Live in Nanjing," so Fan Bingbing can't go.

If Fan Bingbing goes, Cao Zhong definitely hopes to use her as the sole female lead to boost the box office, but Fan Bingbing's current fame doesn't give her that ability, so they need to plan carefully.

For the first film, it's best not to reveal any obvious intentions.

Cao Zhong plans to use most of the Hollywood actors, and if possible, he hopes to bring Yang Mi along.

Although Cao Zhong undermined the legitimacy of the three major European cinemas, these are, after all, the stronghold of art-house films.
But Hollywood is still recognized by the Chinese film industry.
The status of Wu Baige as a director, who is currently filming "Red Cliff," is a testament to this.

This narrative needs to be dismantled, but money is always right.

Isn't American money money?

Cao Zhong doesn't have time to put on a show for Yang Mi right now, so if he could send Yang Mi to Hollywood to act in a movie, even if it's just a supporting role, it would be a great help to her.

It would be even better if the female lead were in the lead role.

Cao Zhong suddenly remembered the movie "Split" that came to mind when he was searching for films for Jing Tian.
A psychological thriller that topped the North American box office for three consecutive weeks with $900 million, beat out several big-budget films to earn $1.36 million, and grossed a total of $2.8 million worldwide.

This movie is carried by James McAvoy's acting alone.

Cao Zhong checked and found that James McAvoy starred in "Becoming Jane" in the first half of this year and in "Atonement" in September, playing the male lead.

The latter, after only a month and a half of release, has already surpassed $1 million in box office revenue, just as it began to sweep through Hollywood.

If he is chosen for the role, and his acting skills are up to par, then it would be the perfect time.

Moreover, the female lead in this film has a significant amount of screen time, and her acting skills are quite demanding.
It's a role that won't have a significant impact on box office revenue, nor will it seem too peripheral.

Moreover, this character is brave, strong, and mentally powerful. Compared to the other two female supporting characters, only this female lead has brains.

If a Chinese actor were to star in the role, it would indeed be a good choice for Yang Mi.

I sent a text message to Yang Mi.

"Study English well."

"Why would I need to learn English now?" Yang Mi quickly replied, "I already got 500 points on the college entrance exam, I can recite English, abandon, a, b, a..."

After foolishly sending a long message,

Yang Mi was stunned when she saw Cao Zhong's next message.

"Would you like to go to Hollywood and make a movie?"

The phone rang quickly from the other end. "Honey, are you serious?"

The voice calling "husband" was shrill, but Cao Zhong didn't react.

Fan Bingbing was suddenly stunned and froze, but only for two seconds.

Then he was shaken and extremely displeased.

Where did this vixen come from, daring to call me "husband"?

I wouldn't dare!

Fan Bingbing was furious and vented all her anger on Cao Zhong, making Cao Zhong very uncomfortable.
