The Fleeting Years of Chinese Entertainment

Zhu Yawen treated us to roast duck, which tasted good, and now the reputation of Kyoto roast duck is well-deserved.

Zhang Dahuzi has been playing tricks on the actors and the media again lately, saying one minute that a role has been cast, and the next minute that another actor hasn't been cast.

This has led many netizens to criticize him for being shameless, and the media is also somewhat frustrated by being played, not to mention the actors, especially Zhou Xun.

"You can't act like this... I hope I'm the last person to be hyped up!"

Judging from Zhou Xun's remarks in front of the media, it's clear that Zhang Dahuzi really hurt this girl's feelings this time.

……

Lin Mo's decision to return to school to film a movie also stirred up a lot of controversy at the Beijing Film Academy.

The number of applicants was so high that Lin Mo was starting to get a headache.

"Teacher, I already told the school about this beforehand! We really don't need that many people."

At this moment, Lin Mo and Xie Xiaojing were in an empty classroom, looking at the long list, their faces full of melancholy.

"This is my fault. I really didn't expect those old guys to be so unreliable. We had agreed on... Sigh, never mind, Xiao Mo, just draw as many names as you need for your movie. Don't give them any face. Leave the rest to me, I'll handle it."

Lin Mo glanced at Xie Xiaojing, whose face was full of embarrassment, and knew in his heart that this matter could not be blamed on his master.

"Hehe...it's true what they say, fame brings trouble! Teacher, isn't everyone on this list a little bit related, or has some connection to someone?" Lin Mo said with a wry smile.

"Look... almost a third of them are students from other schools. Is my movie really that popular?"

Lin Mo held up a list with many names marked with an X and showed it to Xie Xiaojing.

Even without looking, Xie Xiaojing could tell that the students Lin Mo drew were basically opportunists trying to get in through connections.

It's not a real connection; it's just that they spent money to bribe certain people at the school.

"Xiao Mo, I can..."

"No need, teacher," Lin Mo interrupted Xie Xiaojing, "I know what you want to say, but there's no need for that. If these people want to get into my film, then let them. We can't let them waste all that effort, can we?"

"you mean…"

"Just shoot a group shot from a distance, gradually zooming in. As for how many people will have lines... that's up to me." Lin Mo said with a faint smile.

Xie Xiaojing immediately understood; he knew what his good apprentice was thinking.

"Hehe... Don't go too far. At least take a clear picture of their faces so that it's clear they were actually in your movie."

"Of course, I'll have the photography students take some good pictures..."

……

As the release date of Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers" approaches, its promotional efforts are intensifying.

They've even put up promotional posters at the Beijing Film Academy...

After all, Zhang Yimou's films have achieved remarkable box office success overseas. Although the copyrights were sold, with the help of the times, the name Zhang Yimou is gradually being elevated to a legendary status.

Zhang Weiping, the "man behind" Zhang Yimou, is even more prone to boasting without thinking.

He probably felt that the cast of "House of Flying Daggers" was no less impressive than that of "Hero," which gave him a lot of confidence.

Therefore, this guy has repeatedly stated in front of the media that this time, "House of Flying Daggers" will definitely surpass the previously released "Hero" and break all its records.

The key point is that people in the industry actually believed it…

After all, the cast of the two films is quite similar, and they are both big-budget martial arts films.

Therefore, very few people doubt that Zhang Weiping is bragging, and many cinema executives are already starting to think about counting their money.

At the same time, Stephen Chow also revealed that he would be going to various art schools to promote his film "Kung Fu Hustle". According to some rumors, he even seems to have prepared his speech.

……

Lin Mo has finished filming his scenes on the Beijing Film Academy campus and will soon be moving to the location where he works part-time in the drama.

Regardless of what others thought of his scenes at the Beijing Film Academy, Lin Mo himself was quite satisfied.

only…

"I'm speechless. I thought I'd at least have some lines, right? But all I got was a fleeting shot?"

"Who isn't? They used up so many favors, and all they got was a chance to show their face..."

"Sigh... I should have known better than to spend so much money to clear the blockage; it feels like a huge loss!"

……

The place where Lin Mo works in the drama is a coffee shop, which is not large, only about 20 square meters.

"Sister Chen! I'm here for work!"

Lin Mo, who plays Liu Ye on the inside and Lin Ran on the outside, walks into the coffee shop with a somewhat "effeminate" look, carrying a backpack.

And Chen Jie, who plays the male lead's part-time female boss, Yan Danchen, immediately greeted Lin Mo with a beaming smile the moment he pushed the door open.

"Xiao Ran, you're a little late today... Did something happen?"

"Sorry, Sister Chen, I...I'm lost!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Yan Danchen's eyes: "Heh...lost? Xiao Ran, how many times have you come here? How could you still get lost? Can't you even come up with a more suitable excuse?"

As Yan Danchen spoke, she smiled and reached out to pat Lin Ran's shoulder, but to her surprise, Lin Ran dodged it this time...

"That's strange, Xiao Ran never used to avoid me..." Sister Chen thought to herself.

Lin Ran, who was clearly a little embarrassed, also realized that her actions just now were somewhat inappropriate.

She didn't resemble "herself" at all, so she quickly found an excuse to stay away from this woman who was familiar to the original owner of the body.

"Sister Chen... I'll go change my clothes first, and I'll explain to you later..."

As Lin Ran spoke, she walked into the coffee shop, observing where the entrance to change clothes was as she went.

"Cut! Junior, you passed..."

Hearing Ning Hao's voice, Lin Mo, who was walking forward, immediately stopped and turned to look at Yan Danchen.

"Well done, Senior Yan!"

"Hehe...you flatter me! Junior Lin." Yan Danchen smiled and said, "Junior Lin acted very well too!"

Looking at Yan Danchen, whose every move exuded charm, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"As expected of the most classic Chang'e design, it is truly unparalleled in its charm."

After watching the playback and finding no problems, Lin Mo prepared to start filming the next scene.

"Xiao Mo, I need to ask you for leave."

Liu Yifei suddenly stepped forward and said:

Lin Mo looked up at her. "The Return of the Condor Heroes crew?"

Liu Yifei nodded shyly, "They want me to go over and take a few sets of costume photos."

"That's great! It means they've decided on you. Go for it! It's not too far."
