Huayu: Starting with Hijacking from "The Story of a Noble Family"

"Director Xu Xiaoming is the director of the TV series 'The Legendary Hero Huo Yuanjia' and 'Chen Zhen'!"

Liu Yifei replied.

Everyone in China knows how popular these two TV series were back then.

It's clear that she really wants to take on this movie.

Xu Heng scoffed, "So you know he's a TV drama director!"

"Yes, yes, others are TV drama directors, you're a movie director, alright!"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but tease him immediately, but she knew that Xu Heng was doing it on purpose, and it had been a long time since she had argued with Xu Heng.

When filming "Our Times," Xu Heng was the director, so she certainly couldn't be as casual as before, lest she affect Xu Heng's authority as a director.

Moreover, towards the end of filming, Xu Heng became more and more like a real director, increasingly dignified.

Even she felt a sense of awe and dared not joke around in front of Xu Heng!

However, she could still tell that Xu Heng didn't seem to think she should take the role in this movie, so she looked at Xu Heng with curiosity.

She knew Xu Heng must have a reason, and he certainly wouldn't harm her.

"Have you forgotten your nationality?"

Xu Heng glanced at her.

He remembered that in his previous life, this film, "May Love," could only be released in mainland China as a regular imported film because the male lead was from Taiwan and the female lead, Liu Yifei, was a US citizen.

Furthermore, the box office performance in mainland China and Taiwan doesn't seem to be very good, so there's no need to take it on.

However, this also proves that Liu Yifei already had US citizenship at least at that time.

Contrary to what was later rumored in the previous life, that he only acquired US citizenship after filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

The subtitles for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" did not indicate that Liu Yifei was a US citizen, clearly just to avoid any unnecessary complications.

Director Xu Xiaoming also said that one of the reasons for choosing Liu Yifei to star in this movie was that it would be easier for her to travel to Taiwan because she has US citizenship.

And then there's "Love Winner," but since Liu Yifei didn't meet Lin Zhiying in this life, it probably won't be filmed again.

"Forehead……"

Liu Yifei was stunned, but she knew that Xu Heng was right, and this was definitely not a small matter.

If something really happens, it could be very troublesome!

"What about Director Tian Zhuangzhuang...?"

At this point, Liu Yifei had already decided not to take the role, but it was, after all, recommended by someone else out of kindness.

Moreover, director Tian Zhuangzhuang was not only one of the core figures of the fifth generation of Chinese directors, but her father was also the first director of the Beijing Film Studio, so she had to be cautious.

Xu Heng glanced at her again: "Whether you take this role or not is your own business. Why do you care who recommended you!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang is indeed quite famous now, after all, she has won international awards, although none of them are major awards.

However, in his memory, Tian Zhuangzhuang in his previous life seemed to have little resources and little power, and had even been forbidden from guiding others before.

He later apparently became the head of the directing department at Beijing Film Academy, but the academy's influence in the entertainment and arts circles remained just so-so.

Not to mention that even if Tian Zhuangzhuang is really that great, he certainly wouldn't let Liu Yifei take on roles he can't handle.

Liu Yifei immediately rolled her eyes at him, knowing that he was being arrogant again.

However, this time she didn't confront Xu Heng, because she discovered that Xu Heng had never actually boasted.

At least, none of the things Xu Heng said could be considered complete boasting.

For example, he can beat Jay Chou as a singer. Although it sounds like bragging, Xu Heng really can write songs like "A Little Happiness".

"A Little Happiness" has not been officially released yet, so we don't know how well it will perform.

But she knew this song was definitely good, and it was definitely not something just anyone could write!

Furthermore, Xu Heng's comments on Zhang Yimou's "Hero" were not only very reasonable, but he also went on to make his own film shortly afterward.

The box office performance of "Our Times" is still unknown, but she knows that it is definitely not a shoddy or carelessly made movie. Xu Heng does have the ability to make a movie, and she can't help but admire him more and more!

Furthermore, she once again strongly agreed with Xu Heng's words, and she was naturally very grateful that someone recommended her for the role in this movie.

But if it's not suitable, she definitely won't accept it, and it's not something she absolutely has to accept. Besides, she has every reason not to accept it.

At most, she can thank Director Tian Zhuangzhuang in person next time they have the chance to meet.

"So what do you think of my nationality?"

Liu Yifei suddenly asked again.

Xu Heng did not answer, but just looked at her with a smile.

But that was enough, and Liu Yifei smiled as well.

She and Xu Heng are indeed developing a better and better understanding of each other...

After strolling around for a while, the two arrived at the dialogue booth in the recording studio of the editing building and began to re-record some of the female lead's lines.

After recording all afternoon, the car arranged by the godfather came to pick her up in the evening to go home, and Liu Yifei said goodbye to Xu Heng once again.

Her relationship with Xu Heng has now clearly surpassed that of her relationship with Shu Chang.

In other words, Xu Heng is now her best friend, without a doubt!

Fortunately, she'll be going back to school next month, and then she'll be able to see Xu Heng again...

(Liu Yifei: I want to cry...)

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the post-production work, including dubbing and music, for the movie "Our Times" has been completed.

The next step is simply to adjust the film's colors and thoroughly blend the visuals and sound together, and the film will be fully completed.

After passing the State Administration of Radio and Television's review, it can be officially released and screened.

It was already mid-July, and the Beijing Film Academy had reopened. Xu Heng also made an appearance in the classroom on the first day of school.

However, at this time, many students in the class were filming outside, and not many students actually came to school for class.

In the evening, Xu Heng had another small gathering with his three roommates.

After a beer, the three roommates started talking about some gossip from the past few days.

"I never imagined Huang Shengyi would become the female lead in a Stephen Chow movie!"

Wang Hongyu sighed with emotion.

On June 27th, Stephen Chow's new movie "Kung Fu Hustle" officially started filming in Shanghai, but the female lead has not yet been announced.

It wasn't until July 1st, a few days after filming began, that the media officially reported that Huang Shengyi, a sophomore majoring in acting at the Beijing Film Academy, had signed a contract with the "Kung Fu" production team and would play the female lead in the film.

The news naturally attracted much attention and was quite unexpected.

It's worth noting that Huang Shengyi had only acted in one TV series before, and she was the second female lead.

And the show only aired the day after the news broke that she had become the new "Star Girl"!

Apart from Xu Heng, all the other students in the class were naturally stunned!
