entertainment first

Bi Xia has been very embarrassed recently, and the outside world is busy trying to establish relations with him. With his endurance, he is gradually unable to bear it. It just so happens that Zhang Hailei comes back from searching for a filming location and holds an audition, and he is finally liberated.

The audition of "Journey to the West" was held at Jinchang Hotel. Bi Xia walked into Jinchang Hotel and sighed in his heart, it is really a big crew, the work is different. Jinchang Hotel is between the second and third ring roads, a five-star hotel.

price

It's not that expensive. It's more than 5,000 a night. Zhang Hailei booked half of the floor at once. Of course, the hotel also gave a very low discount, which costs a lot of money. This is comparable to Bi Xia's shooting.

Swish is much stronger.

"Director Zhang, I'm sorry I'm late." Bi Xia arrived at the 12th floor at around eight o'clock in the morning. When he came in, Zhang Hailei was having breakfast.

"Xiao Xia is here. It's not too late. It's not too late. I just got up." Zhang Hailei said with a smile, pointing to the chair and signaling Bi Xia to do whatever he wanted. He admired Bi Xia very much. This young man has talent and motivation. This

For a period of time, he studied the script repeatedly.

Many conversations and scenes gave him a new understanding, and he also had many discussions with Bi Xia on the phone. He found that these scenes were not accidentally created by Bi Xia, but were consciously designed and foreshadowed by him.

This made Bi Xia look at him in a new light.

Bi Xia's "Westward Journey" was completed based on the two decades of analysis of the film by fans of the West, while Stephen Chow and Liu Zhenwei's "Westward Journey" is the collision of inspiration between two geniuses. In many scenes, they are not at all.

Consciously designing like this, but creating such a classic movie, this may be the difference between geniuses and ordinary people.

Bi Xia sat down casually, observed Zhang Hailei carefully, and found that his face was indeed full of wind and frost. He had traveled almost all over the country in the past ten days. There was nothing that could be done about it. The launch of "Westward Journey" was indeed

Very hurriedly. He said with concern: "Director Zhang, you don't have to be in such a hurry. It doesn't matter if it is delayed for a while."

Zhang Hailei asked his assistant to come over and put away the breakfast, sat down and said: "Now the crew is making intense preparations, and most of the funds have come in. It will be a better day if we start filming earlier. Besides, I was much more tired when filming in the past, at least now I live there."

They are all five-star hotels." After saying that, Zhang Hailei laughed.

Bi Xia also smiled. No, this is not true. He is now a world-class director. Now when he is filming, his sponsors beg him. "Have you chosen the address?"

"I've chosen it. It's in Xixia Film and Television City. It's more in line with the positioning of your script. It gives me a good feeling." Zhang Hailei lit a cigarette and took a comfortable puff and said.

"I also prefer that place." Bi Xia nodded. This place is the filming location of the original drama. It is in the Ningxia Autonomous Region and the architecture there is more exotic.

While the two were chatting, the assistant knocked on the door and came in: "Director Zhang, Director Bi. The audition will start in a moment."

Hearing this, Bi Xia smiled bitterly: "These days, I've been in trouble. Now I want to hide from people when I see them."

"Haha" Zhang Hailei laughed loudly and said gloatingly: "If you accumulate a few more movies, the scenes will be much bigger than now."

He knows this feeling. It's easy for economic companies to build relationships. Some female artists even send their contact information directly. Then they attach their own artistic photos. They are usually just for fun. Some who like to take shortcuts even send them directly.

When coming to Guozhao, Zhang Hailei also encountered someone who rushed directly to his hotel room to take off his clothes.

By the way, Zhang Hailei is not an innocent little virgin like Bi Xia. Although he disdains unspoken rules, he will not refuse "yiyeqing" or such insignificant small transactions.

As directors, especially directors who have their own requirements, they do not reject connections. What they reject is just the kind of connections that have no brains and strength. So what if they have acting skills and connections? Many times they are not fully qualified as a director.

Find the actor you want. At this time, other people's recommendations may be a good choice.

"Let's go and have a look." Zhang Hailei pinched off the cigarette in his hand and said.

The conditions for this interview were very good. The crew reserved half of the floor. There were many independent rooms for the big-name artists to rest, while the young actors were grouped in a few rooms or gathered in a large conference room.

The presidential suite was turned into an interview room by them. Zhang Hailei, Bi Xia and a representative of the investor were present. The representative named Wang was very conscious. He knew that there were two big directors here and the interview was their business. He was just playing a role.

He has a supervisory role, so he doesn’t speak much after introducing himself.

"Hello, I'm Liu Yanan." An actress with a ponytail walked in.

Bi Xia glanced at Liu Yanan, then at Zhang Hailei, and found that there was no fluctuation in his eyes. Bi Xia was secretly envious in his heart. The first person to come in was not an ordinary person. Liu Yanan was not an unknown actress. She had appeared in many youth dramas.

She has performed outstandingly in both films. She has been involved in the film industry in the past two years and has starred in many movies. Her acting skills are not bad. Speaking of which, she is Wu Meizi's predecessor in the film industry. Of course, Wu Meizi is very popular in the country.

She is much more famous than her.

"You want to compete for the role of Zixia? In this way, you can act out plot number one." Zhang Hailei said expressionlessly.

"Okay!" Liu Yanan was obviously a little nervous, Zhang Hailei was expressionless, Bi Xia was serious, and Representative Wang couldn't see any expression at all. His already anxious mood became even more nervous, so his performance was naturally not very relaxed.

Bi Xia doesn't need to watch it to know that Liu Yanan will not play. This is an epic drama with an investment of at least 600 million. This is Zhang Hailei's ambitious and elaborate work to hit Hollywood. Although he does not necessarily need the most famous actress, he must

We need a group of people with the best acting skills, and also artists who can do it well.

The role of Zixia is one of the two heroines, and the most important heroine, more important than Bai Jingjing. For such a role, you are not well-known and your acting skills are not the best. Why should someone want you? Liu Yanan made the wrong choice.

role, if she chooses some other supporting roles, the possibility is greater.

Sure enough, after watching his performance, Zhang Hailei still said coolly: "Go back and wait for the news."

Then several more actresses came, all of them well-known, but their acting skills were not very good. Zhang Hailei frowned and complained to Bi Xia: "Don't people nowadays have any self-awareness? Don't you look at it?"

What kind of movie are we doing? How come anyone dares to come?"

When Bi Xia heard this, he smiled and said, "The good ones are all behind you. You can always meet the right one."

"Hey, there is something in your words. It seems that you have connections..." Zhang Hailei was curious, and he also wanted to see the candidates recommended by Bi Xia...

PS: It’s really depressing. I just came back today. My grandma did some rituals and she seemed a little better. She can still eat. However, she feels happy. In the afternoon, she said that it would be best if she could survive until the end of the year.

Unexpectedly, I received a call at night, saying that I might not be able to make it through tonight. This happened...

However, the ring will definitely not go back in the next two days. It will have to wait until it is delivered. I don’t know how many days it will take...
