When Zhao Wanqing saw Lv Pengfei's behavior, she admired him very much. Zhao Wanqing was still very relieved to have such a meticulous assistant director in charge of the crew affairs for Xiao Yunhai.
After Lv Pengfei left the receipt, he left.
Zhao Wanqing said, "Your assistant director's character and ability seem to be very good. “
Xiao Yunhai said proudly, "Of course, don't you know who found him?"
Zhao Wanqing rolled her eyes and said, "Don't be so proud. They are right. Nothing can be accomplished without rules. When you are in the crew, you must take care of your money. Don't treat money like you usually do. Filming needs to be calculated carefully. Also, it's time for you to change your careless personality. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Don't worry, I am more familiar with the crew's affairs than you."
"Come on. You have only filmed a few movies. Do you have as many as me? "Zhao Wanqing said with a snort.
"If you include my filming career in my previous life, even ten of you can't compare to me." Xiao Yunhai said in his heart.
Thinking of the hard work in the entertainment industry in his previous life, Xiao Yunhai unconsciously became a little stunned.
Zhao Wanqing saw that Xiao Yunhai suddenly stopped talking. She thought that her tone hurt him, so she asked carefully, "What's wrong? Are you really angry? The Xiao Yunhai I know is not such a narrow-minded person. "
"Ah? What … What did you just say? "When Xiao Yunhai heard Zhao Wanqing's words, he came back to his senses and asked repeatedly.
Zhao Wanqing knew that Xiao Yunhai was absent-minded, so she said angrily, "Nothing, I'm going to cook."
Seeing Zhao Wanqing angrily walk to the kitchen, Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Women are inexplicable."
The next day, Xiao Yunhai's villa welcomed several guests.
Movie King Wang Guoan, Movie Queen Zhang Hong, Movie Queen Yu Yuexian, Camera Operator Li Yonggang and Makeup Artist Zhou Yun all came together.
Xiao Yunhai naturally expressed a warm welcome to their arrival.
After everyone took their seats, Wang Guoan took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "You and Wanqing's Step by Step is really awesome now. The highest viewership rating of 17% allowed this show to clinch the 1999 season's champion in advance. It's really the new generation surpassing the old. I think it's time for us old people to retire. "
Zhang nodded and said, "Anyway, I watch this show every day. I have to say, besides the good plot, you young people's acting's acting's performance. Especially your acting's's's's acting has' is's's acting's's acting's acting is.. Who knows? The Best is The Best Best actor and Best? Best The Best and Best?
Xiao Yunhai laughed: "Teachers, please don't say that. You see, I'm blushing from your praises. "
Yu Yuexian spat and said disdainfully, "Look at your's' skin. Only if the sun rises from the west will you blush."
"Hahaha."
Everyone was amused by Yu Yuexian's words and laughed.
Xiao Yunhai sighed and said, "Sister Yu, your's' words really hurt my self-esteem."
At this time, Zhao Wanqing brought out a fruit plate filled with melon seeds and dried fruits and said with a smile, "You're the only one who still has self-esteem. It's fresh even for me."
"Aiyayaya … My glass heart is about to shatter from what the two of you have said." Xiao Yunhai held his chest and pretended to shout.
The hall was suddenly filled with laughter again.
After joking around, Xiao Yunhai went straight to the point and said, "Teacher Wang just said that 'Step by Step by Step' will be this year's champion in the ratings. I don't agree with this sentence. Because in the second half of the year, we will also have an excellent work that will be broadcast on TV, and that is' Empresses in the Palace '. If 'Step by Step by Step' wants to be the champion, we'll have to see if it agrees. "
"Well said." Wang Guoan clapped and said.
Everyone else also agreed.
Xiao Yunhai continued, "The preparation for 'Empresses in the Palace' has already started. Assistant Director Lv Pengfei will go to Hengdian Film City this afternoon to prepare the crew's affairs in advance. Sister Zhou, how are our costumes? "
Zhou Yun said, "I've already arranged it. We can rent the palace maids and eunuchs' costumes in Hengdian. As for the emperor, empress, and concubines' costumes, according to your request, I've already found someone to make it. It's just that the price is frighteningly high, but the effect is very good. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Money is not a problem. Since we're going to film, we don't have to be afraid of spending money. If six hundred million is not enough, then seven hundred million. As long as it's for the quality of the film, I'm willing to sell everything I have. Teacher Li, is there a problem on your side? "
Li Yonggang said, "There's no problem on my side. It's just that when will the high definition camera you mentioned arrive? "
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Teacher Li, you don't have to worry about that. My dad already got someone to rent it from America. It'll probably take less than three days to see it. "
Li Yonggang patted his thigh and said, "That's great."
As a handheld operator, it was undoubtedly a very exciting thing to be able to use the camera with the highest definition in the world.
In order to be able to shoot the best scenes, Xiao Yunhai did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to rent the newly developed Epic camera in America.
The images taken with this camera were first class in terms of definition, color, and picture quality. Moreover, the body was light and portable, so it was relatively easy to operate.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Since Sister Zhou and Teacher Li have no problems, then we need to discuss the actors now."
"Among the main actors, there are Chief Eunuch Su Peisheng, Hua Fei, An Lingrong, Shen Meizhuang, and others. These characters have the most scenes with you, so their acting skills must be up to standard. Let's discuss and see which actors in the circle are suitable for these roles. "
Wang Guoan nodded and said, "I can recommend someone to play Su Peisheng. With his acting skills, he will definitely be able to perform well. "
Xiao Yunhai asked in surprise, "Who is Teacher Wang talking about?"
Wang Guoan smiled and said, "Your teacher, Yao Wenyuan."
"Huh?"
Looking at Xiao Yunhai's surprised expression, Wang Guoan continued, "In terms of age, your teacher is about the same age as Su Peisheng. In terms of acting skills, he once won the Golden Goblet Award for Best Supporting Actor. In terms of relationship, is there a need to talk about it? He will probably come over with a phone call. "
Zhang Hong nodded and said, "I think it's good. Old Yao has retired for so many years. It's time for him to come out and take a breather. "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll go over tonight and invite him to play Su Peisheng."
Wang Guoan smiled and said, "Let's go together then. I haven't seen him for a long time. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "That's great. I'm really afraid that I can't invite him alone. Hua Fei, An Lingrong, and Shen Meizhuang. Do you think there are suitable candidates? If not, I can only find actors from those film and television companies to audition. "
Yu Yuexian thought for a moment and said, "I know someone here who can definitely play the role of Hua Fei. But she … Sigh, forget it, let's not talk about her. "
Looking at Yu Yuexian's hesitant look, everyone's curiosity was suddenly aroused.
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Sister Yu, who is it that is making things difficult for you? Tell us, we can discuss it. "
Zhang Hong also said, "Yes, tell us."
Yu Yuexian sighed and said, "This person is my best friend and also a graduate of the Yenching Film Institute. She is one level younger than me and her acting skills are very good. Two years after graduation, she was nominated for the Golden Goblet Award for Best Actress. Just as she was complacent and ready to attack the big screen, a lot of her scandals were suddenly exposed by the media, such as indecent living, disrespecting seniors, sleeping with people in order to climb up, and so on. There were even rumors in the circle that she was a drug addict. Although the public security department later found out that the rumors were false, her reputation was ruined, and her popularity hit rock bottom. Hongda Entertainment directly banned her, so now she can only sing in bars for a living. "
"Hongda Entertainment?"
"Yes, it's Hongda Entertainment. As a newcomer, she signed a ten-year contract with Hongda. It's a pity that she just became the female lead and encountered these things. "
Wang Guoan said, "Are you talking about Zhang Xinyi?"
Yu Yuexian nodded and said, "Yes, it's her."
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Are her scandals true?"
Yu Yuexian said resolutely, "It's absolutely not true. I'm too familiar with her. She's a very conservative girl. She's very methodical in her words and actions. How could she do such a thing? I once wanted to help her and get her to stand up and clarify the matter, but she only cried and didn't say anything. But I could see the anger in her eyes that she hid in her heart. I believe that she must have been wronged. "
Zhang Hong nodded and said, "I once acted with her. Although we didn't interact for long, I can tell that she's a very good girl. When her matter was exposed, I was very surprised and thought that I had misjudged her. Now that I've heard Moon Immortal say this, could it be that there's more to this matter? "
Yu Yuexian said, "The entertainment industry is treacherous. Anything can happen. I suspect that Hongda Entertainment's shadow is involved because after the incident, not only did they not clarify the truth for their actress, but they also banned her with some false rumors. I think there must be a problem here. And Xinyi must have something that she can't say, causing her to be unwilling to say anything. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "A ten-year contract? Which year is she in now? "
Yu Yuexian said, "It just ended last year. Yunhai, I know that this matter is very difficult for you. First, her reputation is not good, which will have some negative impact on the crew. Second, if you recruit her into the crew, you will completely offend Hongda. That's why I'm a little hesitant and don't know if I should recommend her. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Hongda Entertainment and I have always been sworn enemies. They can't wait to tear me to shreds. It's just that they can't get hold of my weakness, so it doesn't matter if I offend them or not. As for reputation, hehe, there are many artists with bad reputations in the entertainment industry. Aren't they still doing well? Besides, she's still a member of our film academy. If I can help her, I'll help her. However, whether she can get this important role depends on her acting skills. "
"I'm preparing to hold an audition for 'Empresses in the Palace' at Fenghua Hotel in three days. Sister Yu can give her a call and ask her to go over."
Yu Yuexian said happily, "That's great, I'll let her know."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Teachers, are there any other suitable roles?"
Seeing that everyone shook their heads, Xiao Yunhai said, "Then we'll wait until the audition to see who the remaining roles are. At that time, Teacher Wang, Teacher Zhang, Sister Yu, and Wan Qing, the five of us will be the examiners. There's only one goal, and that's to pass the acting test. "
"Okay, no problem."
After discussing a few more details, they went to the hotel for a meal.
At night, Xiao Yunhai and Wang Guoan went to Yao Wenyuan's house together. They persuaded him with emotion and reason, and finally convinced him to agree to play the role of Su Peisheng. "
At ten o 'clock at night, Zhang Xinyi dragged her tired body back to the small house she rented.
It was a basement of only 20 square meters. The layout was very simple. There was only a bed and a desk. There were more than ten acting books on the desk.
As a former star, Zhang Xinyi's current life was no different from before. However, she didn't give up and still held on to her dreams. She firmly believed that one day, she would return to that circle and be more successful than before.
Therefore, she would read professional books for at least two hours every day and play all kinds of roles in front of the mirror. The basics of acting were compulsory classes every morning.
Unfortunately, her hard work didn't pay off. After she finally got out of Hongda's control last year, Zhang Xinyi participated in many auditions for movies and TV series.
With her outstanding appearance and superb acting skills, she won the approval of most directors. However, when they found out that she was banned by Hongda, they avoided her like she was a scourge.
At that moment, she felt that her persistence over the years was so stupid. The entertainment industry had always been a vanity fair. Who would be willing to offend such a big company for a small artist like her?
However, it was even more impossible for her to give in to Hongda Entertainment.
However, she knew that she couldn't hold on for long. After all, she was 31 years old this year and didn't have much time left for her to squander.
Thinking of this, she secretly made a decision. "If there's still no improvement this year, I'll go back to my hometown and never step into this circle again."
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang. She opened it and saw that it was her best friend, Yu Yuexian.
Zhang Xinyi was very grateful to the Moon Immortal, her senior apprentice sister. If it weren't for her selfless help over the years, she wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.
"Sister Yu, why are you calling me so late?"
