Chinese entertainment director: I can wholesale Best Actress awards.

"Ge You has time. Filming for 'The Banquet' wrapped up in January this year, and he doesn't have any important announcements right now." Han Sanping talked about the two lead actors, Ge You and Chow Yun-fat, that Xiao Chen mentioned a couple of days ago. "As for Chow Yun-fat, he's still filming Zhang Yingmou's 'Curse of the Golden Flower'."

Since the box office of "Hero" exceeded 200 million.

Chinese-language films have officially entered the era of blockbusters.

Investment is rising.

This year's Lunar New Year film season.

Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yingmou will both be bringing a major Chinese film.

The investment and cast are both quite impressive.

The Banquet will be released in theaters nationwide on September 14th.

"Uncle, if there's no available time, then we'll find someone else." Lu Chen won't wait for any particular actor. He has an #ActorTrainingSystem#, so as long as the actor is suitable and he wants them, they'll be top-notch in his system.

"Xiao Chen, there's no need to change actors." Han Sanping said with a smile, "Curse of the Golden Flower should wrap up filming in early July, and there will be a time slot available then. It's almost the end of June now, so there's plenty of time. Besides, I've already spoken to Chow Yun-fat, and he's very happy to work with a Palme d'Or-winning director. Once he finishes filming, he can come over for an audition."

"Uncle, it's mainly for your sake."

"Xiao Chen, this wasn't me personally involved; it was China Film Group." Han Sanping looked at Lu Chen with admiration in his eyes. "Xiao Chen, do you know how prestigious the Palme d'Or is in the global film industry?"

This means that we shouldn't even talk about the top actors in China right now.

Even top Hollywood actors.

Mentioning the Palme d'Or award as a director will usually get them to give it serious consideration.

Some aspire to win major individual awards, and some even lower their fees to act in works by art-house directors.

Because art films have a natural advantage.

It's easy to win awards.

Not just the director.

Actors also have a higher chance of winning awards.

Like Xiao Chen now.

He is also the youngest winner of the Palme d'Or.

Furthermore, the award-winning film "Shoplifters" was a box office hit in mainland China.

Overseas, the film will be distributed by Pathé Films in France, and will be released nationwide in Europe and North America.

Therefore, Xiao Chen's status in the industry will continue to rise.

Top domestic actors will come and give it a try if Xiao Chen expresses a desire to collaborate, provided they don't have other important engagements.

Even if there are other announcements, they will probably be turned down.

"Uncle, it seems I won't have to worry about finding actors anymore." Lu Chen thought about filming "Shoplifters," and how difficult it was to find actors.

"From now on, actors will be lining up to come to us," Han Sanping joked. "I heard that on the first day of the actor recruitment, even Fan Bingbing from Huayi Brothers came to audition."

He asked.

How did they think?

Should we use Fan Bingbing?

"Still under consideration." Lu Chen prefers Fei Hong for the lead role.

When "Shoplifters" was released, Fei Hung was the first actress to stand up and support her.

In addition to the current relationship.

It will definitely be given priority.

However, Sister Fei Hong is preparing for her directorial debut, "Love Comes Again," and doesn't have time to participate in other works. Lu Chen needs to reconsider the female lead role.

"Xiao Chen, with your current fame and ability, there are definitely more than one actress vying for your leading lady role," Han Sanping cautioned. "Therefore, you will encounter more temptations, so be careful."

Xiao Chen is now very famous in the industry.

It brought the Chinese-language film industry its second Palme d'Or.

Breaking box office records for Chinese-language art films.

At this time, we can't afford any bad rumors that could affect Xiao Chen.

Although Han Sanping holds a high position in the industry, it is impossible for all media outlets to obey him.

"Uncle, regarding the female lead, I only consider whether she's suitable and how well she acts; nothing else is a consideration." Lu Chen sensed the hidden meaning in his uncle's words.

She felt that she would take advantage of the casting process.

He's just playing around with the actresses.

I'm not a middle-aged director, so there's absolutely no need for that. After all, I can't even handle all the women throwing themselves at me.

"Xiao Chen, you decide what to do," Han Sanping said. "Although I'm the executive producer for your new film, you're the one who makes all the decisions."

Shoplifters was very well made.

Therefore, Han Sanping will definitely not interfere with Xiao Chen's filming work. Even if the investment is over 100 million, Xiao Chen will be in charge of the filming process.

As for serving as executive producer.

This was to ensure Xiao Chen's absolute authority on set.

After all, Xiao Chen's favorite leading actors are all top-tier actors in the Chinese-speaking world.

With himself serving as the executive producer, even if Xiao Chen has high expectations of them, he wouldn't dare to act like a diva or quit.

"Uncle, my film still needs your guidance."

"Give you pointers?" Han Sanping laughed and scolded. "You won the Palme d'Or for your debut film, who can give you pointers? If anyone wants to give you pointers, tell me."

It means we're all family, so there's no need for such formalities.

After chatting with his uncle for a while, Lu Chen left China Film Group. He had to meet someone else the next night.

Fan Bingbing.

They insisted on two auditions.

They said they didn't find anyone good at the last audition.

The second audition requires a solo session, so you must give it your best.

When Lu Chen answered the phone, he was curious how Fan Bingbing knew his private phone number.

But that's how things have come to this.

Lu Chen needed to see how Fan Bingbing performed in her second audition.

This is also why Fei Hong didn't have time to act, and Fan Bingbing became the alternative; otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed.

……

The next day, in the evening

Wu's Private Kitchen

Tonight, we chose the same restaurant again.

Lu Chen felt that this hotel offered excellent privacy, making it particularly convenient for discussing business and for carrying out tasks afterward.

The time has not yet come.

Fan Bingbing arrived at the private room ahead of time.

Holding a small makeup mirror, she adjusted her makeup.

I put on makeup today.

Their clothing and style are also leaning towards a sexier direction.

man.

They're all lustful.

Dressing nicely and sexily can attract men more.

Before coming here, Fan Bingbing heard from a friend that director Lu Chen's new film had an investment of over 100 million yuan.

Over 100 million!

A truly high-quality Chinese-language production.

This is something we must strive for even more.

In the film "The Banquet," which Huayi Brothers invested over 100 million yuan in this year, the role played by Zhou Xun should have been her own. However, because she refused to renew her contract, Huayi Brothers promoted Zhou Xun, a newly signed artist.

Fan Bingbing never expected that another project with an investment of over 100 million yuan would be placed in front of him.

That's all.

They all have to get this role.

The door was then opened.

The waitress led Lu Chen in.

"Director Lu~" Fan Bingbing stood up and greeted him, her eyes full of charm as she looked at Lu Chen. "It's so nice to see you again. Last time I auditioned, I left my contact information with you, Director Lu. I've been waiting for your call at home every day, but I couldn't wait any longer, so I called you on my own initiative. Please don't mind, Director Lu~"

"It's nothing to be surprised about," Lu Chen waved his hand.

"Director Lu, please sit down." Fan Bingbing took the wine from the waitress, indicating that she could leave and that he could handle it. "Director Lu, I called you because I was being presumptuous and did something wrong. Here's what I'll do: I'll punish myself with three drinks."
