Chapter 356: Hiding in Peace, the Dust Has Settled

The entire film industry is paying attention to the casting of "Resident Evil 5".

The director and staff arrived in the capital a few days ago, but the casting rules were not made public to the domestic film industry until today.

That is, "Resident Evil 5" does not have public auditions, and only accepts auditions from actors invited by the film company and recommended actors.

A small number of people in the industry know something.

Because the first choice of the film company rejected the invitation, so after waiting for a few days, the current audition rules were established.

The actresses all know that "Resident Evil" is a very high-quality Hollywood film project and a film released worldwide.

And this time, the second female role is equivalent to half of the heroine in terms of setting, which can directly affect her own status and increase her commercial value...

This makes a group of actresses even more unwilling to miss it!

The media squatted outside the hotel and took photos of many actresses going to audition, and the number of people was very large.

"Hollywood never gives resources for free. In the game, the second female role is indeed very important, but it is hard to say when it is changed to a movie..."

Ye Ning called Lin Nan specifically to consult, and Wanda has given the recommendation quota to Jing Tian.

"Hahaha, in Director Lin's eyes, this is a role that may only be a supporting role, but it's different for others."

Lin Nan smiled and didn't refute. This is indeed one of the reasons why he refused on behalf of Liu Yifei.

The company also received the recommendation invitation, and Zeng Jia and Yang Mi reacted quickly and spoke up at the first time.

Yue Jun immediately gave Yang Mi the audition opportunity, and the latter was already preparing.

However, Lin Nan had no hope for Yang Mi, and her English level was really hard to describe.

There are signs of standing in line and betting in the circle.

Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, and Fan Bingbing are the three most optimistic.

…………

September 30th of each year is the deadline for registration for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

This year, China is a bit embarrassed. Among the films that have been released so far, there are no outstanding films.

Originally, according to policy requirements, only films that have been released in China are eligible to be recommended to register for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

But in this case, the Film Bureau took a different approach and made an exception for "The Flowers of War".

As soon as this decision was announced, Zhang Yimou and "The Flowers of War" immediately became the target of many film producers.

Since an exception was made, why only "The Flowers of War" was made?

Why not compare all the films that did not meet the requirements and then decide the final result?

The most objectionable one was "White Deer Plain", followed by a series of realistic dramas that have not been released.

At this time, it is reasonable to keep a low profile, but Zhang Weiping disagrees.

"Which Chinese-language film is more suitable for Oscars than "The Flowers of War"? The answer is: None!

Redemption is a common topic in the world. Zhang Yimou and Bale must be the most competitive combination for the best foreign language film..."

These naked words were thrown directly in the faces of all the film producers who had opinions.

The meaning is very clear: "The Flowers of War" has an Oscar winner as the male lead, and when competing for the best foreign language film, it has more advantages than other Chinese-language films, and even films from other countries!

It would have been better if this was not said. After it was said, the criticism in the circle was even louder.

Zhang Dapao directly gave Lao Mouzi a reputation of "using foreign powers to bully others"...

The industry is also very realistic, and no one dares to question whether the Film Bureau also has the same meaning as Zhang Weiping said.

However, Lin Nan estimated that this matter is really uncertain...

…………

The publicity of movies such as "Painted Skin", "Legend of the White Snake", and "The Revolution of 1911" has completely entered a white-hot stage.

Especially the first two movies, which are the first commercial films produced exclusively by the two companies.

The tit-for-tat gunpowder smell has continued since the release date was set, and it has become more and more intense until now.

Yang Zi relied on the fact that "Legend of the White Snake" has a group of big-name production teams and was shortlisted for the non-competitive unit of the Cannes Film Festival.

Therefore, when promoting, he often belittled other movies, and he was completely ready to take over the National Day file.

This arrogant and arrogant attitude made all the producers of the same period of time feel disgusted!

Many people in the industry said that there is no good thing when people are arrogant, not to mention that he is a beginner, and he will be taught a lesson sooner or later.

Looking at the posters of the two movies online, Lin Nan smiled helplessly.

The words "Tiangong Color" are prominently displayed on the posters!

…………

We were still talking about Shu Chang yesterday, but we saw him today.

Wearing home clothes, he was curled up on the sofa in Liu Yifei's house, and the table was filled with various snacks and juices.

"Why did you come here today?"

"Huh..."

Shu Chang rolled his eyes at Lin Nan, turned his head and hugged Liu Yifei's arm.

This attitude?

Lin Nan glanced at Miss Liu, who smiled and nodded.

Well, Liu Yifei reported the joke about Shu Chang yesterday.

"She came here to avoid idleness." Miss Liu said with a smile.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Lin Nan was a little curious.

After a while, Shu Chang talked about the crew of "Journey to the West".

"Journey to the West" produced by Zhang Jizhong recently had an "accident".

Some actors took the initiative to expose that they were being manipulated, and even the text message that the assistant director had introduced was sent out.

Soon after, former crew members expressed their support, saying that out of the seven spider spirits, six were trapped.

Several times they bumped into the producer coming out of the room of several actresses playing spider spirits at four or five in the morning, so they were sent away one after another by the crew...

The media were like cats that smelled something fishy, ​​running to interview one by one.

How could the bearded man admit it? After throwing down the words "complete nonsense", he disappeared. Huayi even published three articles in one day!

So the reporters focused on other actors, trying to make some insinuations and get some material.

Shu Chang had originally made a guest appearance as the King of the Daughter Kingdom out of love, but now he is also on the list of "harassed" by the media.

"How did I know that? I'm just a guest star..."

Shu Chang leaned on Liu Yifei's shoulder and said with some frustration. It seemed that he was very annoyed, and the other actors should be too.

"Haha, four or five o'clock? Only the crew and crew can get up at this time and bump into them."

To be honest, Lin Nan was quite inclined to believe this revelation.

Big Beard is one of the core members of Huayi, and he is also very sexy. He was famous in the past...

"I'll help you say hello to them later." Lin Nan said with a smile.

"Yeah, thank you, brother."

Good guy, how fast you can change your face! Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing.

…………

After a week of fermentation, "Bu Bu Jing Xin" has swept the entire film and television industry just like "Palace" at the beginning of the year.

Tang Ren has stepped up its publicity efforts, and the Internet is full of news about this TV series, photos and news of the leading actors traveling to various places, and various programs.

Cai Yinong's purpose is very clear, which is to promote Liu Shishi into the ranks of first-line female stars and give Tang people another pillar of support.

To Lin Nan's surprise, Cai Yinong didn't know where he got the recommendation from, and actually took Liu Shishi to audition for "Resident Evil 5" and even posted photos of the audition.

In Lin Nan's opinion, this is really... funny!

"What, you were eliminated?"

Faced with Lin Nan's joking inquiry, Yue Jun nodded helplessly.

"We were eliminated in one round. After all, our foundation was too weak."

Lin Nan was mentally prepared for the result of Yang Mi's audition.

Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing are both experienced in many battles.

Yang Mi would be beaten while hanging in front of them. In comparison, it was all a flaw.

"The results are probably out by now." Yue Jun said coldly.

"So fast?"

"It hasn't been announced yet, but some people have already posted group photos. The circle is very lively right now, haha..."

…

After Yue Jun left Tiangong Color, Lin Nan flipped through the news on the Internet.

Lively indeed!

Li Bingbing posted a photo on Weibo. It's a group photo of her, Deng Wendi and Paul Anderson, the director of "Resident Evil 5".

In the photo, Li Bingbing is in the middle, with Deng Wendi and Paul Anderson on the left and right. All three are smiling and giving thumbs up. Behind them is the concept poster of "Resident Evil 5"!

A group photo speaks for itself.

Anyone with a discerning eye will understand. Deng Wendi pulled the strings and Li Bingbing succeeded!

This is not the end yet. Netizens are watching the fun and not taking it too seriously. They rushed to leave messages on Zhang Ziyi’s Weibo account.

"Back then, you always showed off your deep affection as sisters. Why did Deng Wendi go to help Li Bingbing?"

“Is the new man better than the old man?”

"You are an 'International Chapter', why did you lose to Li Bingbing!"

…

I have to say that Zhang Ziyi is indeed someone who can keep his composure.

She turned around and replied in unison: "Having acted in so many Hollywood movies, it doesn't matter if I didn't succeed in this audition. As a senior, I have to leave some opportunities for those who come after me..."

A reply brought out the past honors and encouraged the newcomers as a senior, which immediately established his own image.

This time, I really got some good reviews.

But anyone who really understands knows that Zhang Ziyi is looking for a way out for himself.

In the past, she would not have had this attitude. How could she like Li Bingbing and why would she need an audition?

Sure enough, the next morning.

The casting team of "Resident Evil 5" announced the news.

"After careful decision, we sincerely invite Ms. Li Bingbing to participate in the filming of "Resident Evil 5: Retribution". We hope to have a happy cooperation!"

The casting process has been completely settled, many domestic actresses have given up, and another big star is about to enter the international stage!

Starting at noon that day, a large number of press releases about Li Bingbing and "Resident Evil 5" poured out.

"Li Bingbing will go to Hollywood in October..."

"Another domestic actress is stepping onto the international stage. This time it's not a co-production!"

…………

"What's there to be happy about? Rumor has it that this is a resource Liu Yifei doesn't want..."

"real or fake?"

"It didn't even reach Liu Yifei's hands, it was directly rejected by Director Lin!"

…………

There is a lot of news flying around on the Internet, and I don’t know whether it is true or false. But Fan Bingbing, Yang Mi, Jing Tian and others all know that this is most likely not false.
