Chinese entertainment director: I can wholesale Best Actress awards.

Lu Chen thought Fan Bingbing was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect him to actually drink three cups of wine. Although they were small cups, three cups of strong liquor would probably make someone with a low alcohol tolerance drunk.

However, Fan Bingbing remained unfazed, indicating that he must have a high alcohol tolerance.

"Director Lu, if you still find this objectionable, I'll drink three more cups." Fan Bingbing was quite generous.

"No need, please sit down."

"Director Lu still cares about me~" Fan Bingbing's eyes were naturally charming, and her temperament was that of a woman with an innate allure, the type of woman men most want to conquer.

"It's not that I feel sorry for you, it's that there's a second audition coming up," Lu Chen reminded him of the important matter at hand.

Fan Bingbing was stunned for a moment.

Are you really that serious about movies?

Even dressed so sexily, she was still thinking about the audition. "Director Lu, I'm very well prepared today, but there are no other actors waiting in line. So, Director Lu, let's eat first. We can get down to business after we've eaten and drunk our fill. What do you think?"

Lu Chen nodded. Indeed, one should eat and drink well before getting down to business.

At this point, the waiter began serving the dishes.

The dishes have been served.

The waiter left again.

"Director Lu, may I ask a question about the movie?" Fan Bingbing asked after seeing Lu Chen nod. "When will filming begin? I need to prepare my schedule."

"Preparing a schedule?" Lu Chen laughed. "This is a sure thing."

Fan Bingbing moved a chair closer, almost touching Lu Chen, and said, "Yes, we are determined to win."

A pair of alluring eyes.

Just watch.

She even blinked.

It's incredibly tempting.

"You're not the only actress who wants to play the female lead. What sincerity can you offer?" Lu Chen didn't shy away from those alluring eyes at all; he wasn't some innocent boy.

If Fan Bingbing dares to squat down, he will provide service.

Lu Chen would absolutely not refuse.

"Director Lu, I've come here today with the utmost sincerity," Fan Bingbing said, leaning closer, almost touching him. "I wonder if Director Lu has felt that?"

As he spoke, he would occasionally pretend to touch her accidentally.

This was done on purpose.

They felt that Lu Chen was only twenty-one years old.

Boys of this age.

Faced with the temptations of today, they certainly have no resistance.

It made him itchy to do something, but he didn't dare to do anything reckless.

"Let me feel your sincerity." They all came close, and Lu Chen wouldn't hold back. A man who's too polite will never get enough to eat or enjoy the good stuff.

Fan Bingbing gasped softly, looked down at the large hand, and froze for a full three seconds. Completely unpredictable, she came to her senses, opened Lu Chen's hands, stood up, and sat in another chair.

Her cheeks were flushed.

I had no idea what to do next.

She thought she could control Lu Chen. She made Lu Chen's heart itch with desire.

I didn't expect them to be so "honest" and so blunt.

"Why are you sitting so far away? How can I feel how sincere you are from this distance?" Lu Chen said, looking at his hand and measuring it on the spot.

Fan Bingbing knew that this was an underestimation of Lu Chen's level. He couldn't be treated like a 21-year-old boy. At this age, winning the Palme d'Or was definitely extraordinary.

After tidying her hair and calming herself down, she said, "Director Lu, let's begin the audition now."

"Where is the sincerity?"

"Sincerity means that I have been preparing for a long time and I want to show my best acting skills."

"Oh, so this is your sincerity." Lu Chen pretended to have just realized something.

"Director Lu, I'll perform now. And Director Lu, could you help me with the scene?" Fan Bingbing's performance today is the scene he auditioned for the first time, Yu Feihong's most explosive performance in "Shoplifters".

This was a solo audition.

no time limit.

Perform this scene from beginning to end.

From being interrogated to the changes in his inner emotions.

"Slap! Slap!"

After Fan Bingbing finished her performance, Lu Chen clapped his hands in approval of her acting skills.

Acting 8.4 points.

Among domestic actors, he is considered to be of a top-tier level.

Fan Bingbing took a deep breath. She had forced herself into the role to perform well, and once she had recovered her composure, she looked at Lu Chen, winked, and asked in a seductive tone, "Director Lu, how about it? Could I play the female lead?"

I just thought about it.

The reason I was taken advantage of was because...

No one expected Lu Chen to be so impolite.

So next time.

We must be prepared at all times.

Just like now, if you react quickly and dodge when Lu Chen reaches out, wouldn't that make him even more eager and give him a handle on this Palme d'Or-winning director?

"Is there anything else you're trying to show your sincerity?" Lu Chen asked deliberately.

"Yes." Fan Bingbing sat down next to him, placing her hands on Lu Chen's legs. When she saw Lu Chen reach out to grab her hands, she deliberately dodged away. "Director Lu, what do you think of my acting just now?"

"Not bad." Lu Chen noticed that Fan Bingbing had become as slippery as an eel, completely elusive.

"That's good. Can I take the lead role?" Fan Bingbing said, leaning closer. Seeing Lu Chen reach out, she gently pushed his hand away, giving him a charmingly disdainful look. "Director Lu, you haven't answered me yet."

"It's settled." Before coming here, Lu Chen had already decided to cast Fan Bingbing as the female lead.

Fan Bingbing is perfect for the role of "the county magistrate's wife".

Beautiful, sexy, and incredibly alluring.

"Director Lu~" Fan Bingbing gently pushed Lu Chen's hand away again.

"Now that the female lead has been cast, I have to see if your sincerity is enough, and whether you've gone through any deception."

"Director Lu, no rush. If we work together, we'll have plenty of time in the future. We'll have a long time to get to know each other," Fan Bingbing said, taking Lu Chen's hand. "You'll see how sincere I am."

Lu Chen realized that this was a ploy to whet his appetite.

But it's alright.

I often walk by the river, so how can I not wet my shoes?

Once your shoes get wet, it'll happen ten times, a hundred times. That's how women are. Once they open their mouths, it's as easy as going home.

Now, Fan Bingbing has been confirmed as the female lead.

Next up are the other main supporting characters.

Once everything is ready.

The film will hold a press conference to launch its production and generate buzz for the movie.

An investment of 1.2 million yuan was made.

It's definitely a blockbuster production.

We need to promote it in advance.

We need to let the audience know that a big movie is about to start filming.

……

Beiping, Guochen Hotel

The press conference for the start of filming of the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" was held.

The event has not yet started.

Thirty media outlets have already arrived and are waiting.

There were still movie fans watching outside the hotel.

These movie fans enthusiastically discussed the film "Shoplifters," their faces beaming with pride.

European media gave the film "Shoplifters" extremely high praise.

"Do you know how much 'Shoplifters' has grossed overseas now?" A movie fan outside the hotel asked the person next to him, keeping him in suspense.
