Falling in Love with the Movie King 1/13
"Tell him that if he doesn't come today, he doesn't need to come in the future!" Xiang Qing said loudly and threw the phone to her assistant. Then she shouted to the staff who were still busy, "Don't be busy. Pack up! The scriptwriter team will go back to the company for a meeting and revise the script! "
Tao Wan had just put on his makeup and changed his clothes. Then he immediately removed his makeup and changed his clothes. Cheng Yi really did not come. Although their company was quite powerful, Xiang Qing was not someone to be trifled with. After offending her, even if Cheng Yi could still get roles in the future, it would be impossible for him to act in Xiang Qing's movies again. If he knew that Xiang Qing was the niece of the chairman of the Zheng's Group, he would not have the courage to not come.
Tao Wan came out of the dressing room and saw Zheng Xuanlin waiting for him. He walked over and asked, "Why are you so fast?"
"I know that he probably won't come, so I didn't change my clothes and put on makeup," Zheng Xuanlin said.
"Do you know something?" Tao Wan asked, "Why does he have to go abroad for an audition? He doesn't even care about offending the guide. "
"I'll tell you in the car." Zheng Xuanlin subconsciously wanted to hold his hand, but he put it down halfway. They had not made their relationship public yet. It was not good to be seen holding hands outside the set.
Cheng Yi went abroad for an audition. Their company was one of the investors, so the possibility of his audition was very high. This was a multinational movie, and the actors were from many different countries.
Although Cheng Yi was very famous in the TV industry, he had tried to enter the movie industry several times, but he had failed.
Originally, after marrying into a rich family, he was ready to slowly retire. But after feeling that the life of a rich family was not easy, he decided to go to the peak of the entertainment industry.
It was easy to imagine how tempting a movie that could make him not hesitate to offend Xiang Qing and go for an audition. This movie was prepared to gather the top stars from all over the world and then be released worldwide. As long as they could act in it, it would be a kind of affirmation of their acting skills and fame.
Moreover, Cheng Yi felt that even if Xiang Qing was angry, he would sincerely apologize to her later and let her know that if he acted in this movie, it would bring more discussion and popularity to the current drama. Then, he would ask their company to put pressure on Xiang Qing. Xiang Qing would definitely give in, so he had nothing to worry about.
However, he had underestimated Xiang Qing's fiery temper. Once she was angry, she would not be appeased by a few words of apology. Moreover, she was confident in her own movie and disdained to ride on the popularity of foreign movies.
It was true that Cheng Yi's company was very strong. If Xiang Qing's background wasn't as strong as their company, she might have endured it. This was the reality, and there was no other way. However, the chairman of the Zheng Corporation was her uncle. She felt that she did not need to be afraid of anyone in the entertainment industry. She hid her background because she had always kept a low profile, but it didn't mean that she was easy to bully.
Xiang Qing was already revising the script. She was prepared to let the character of Shui Junyao be the one who finally achieved Zhao Xuan's hegemony and fell in love with Zhao Xuan until they grew old.
Perhaps because she was venting her anger at Cheng Yi on the character of Ming Xuan, Xiang Qing was prepared to change Ming Xuan into a hypocrite and a real villain. She wanted his setting to be that he wanted to gain Zhao Xuan's trust for power. Later, because he fell in love with Zhao Xuan and found out that Shui Junyao was actually a man, he became jealous and tried to frame Shui Junyao many times. However, Zhao Xuan loved Shui Junyao and protected her in every way. Even if Shui Junyao's identity as a man was exposed, he insisted on keeping her by his side despite the objections of the ministers.
Cheng Yi did not come to reshoot, so Xiang Qing could only use the scenes that had been shot previously. If they were to shoot according to the revised plot, these scenes would be more appropriate and reasonable.
Zheng Xuanlin knew that Cheng Yi was very good at acting. He had always hated his personality, but this time, he felt that the result he had made was really too good. This way, he did not have to think of a way to make Xiang Qing change the script himself.
Tao Wan had already started to accept some activities and endorsements. Today, he was in the company seriously choosing an endorsement that was suitable for him when Liu Yong suddenly pushed the door open and strode in. He looked excited as he told him a piece of news.
"What did you say?" Tao Wan thought he had misheard. "He wants me to play the role of a fairy princess? You mean a princess, right? "
"Director Baher said it himself in an interview. He said that after watching the video of you shooting the arrow, he specially watched the drama you are acting in now. He feels that you are the most suitable candidate in his heart for this role. Moreover, his people have already contacted us. They really want to talk to you."
"Does he know that I'm actually a man? He actually wants me to play the role of a fairy princess. "Tao Wan felt a little speechless.
"He should know. You weren't dressed as a woman when you shot the arrow. He can tell at a glance that you're a man. He shouldn't be mistaken … right?" As Liu Yong spoke, he himself became uncertain.
"Then does he know that the role I'm playing now is a man dressed as a woman, and not a real woman?"
"Well …" Liu Yong was even more uncertain. Due to cultural differences, it was difficult for foreigners to understand their country's period dramas. He was really not sure if the international director really knew about men dressed as women in period dramas.
Tao Wan helplessly shook his head and said, "Turn it down. Just tell them that I'm in the middle of filming and have no time to act in their movie. The director just changed the script because Cheng Yi didn't reshoot. I have more scenes in the future, so I can't have time to act in other scenes. "
"But this is a rare opportunity. So many stars from so many countries are fighting over this role. It's rare that the director specifically asked you to act. It would be a pity if you turned it down. "
"What can I do? Cheng Yi is such a big star and his company is so powerful, but the director changed the script and character. If I offend the director because of this movie, I won't be able to survive in the entertainment industry in the future. " In his heart, Tao Wan actually didn't want to act in that movie. It was difficult to get the audience to immerse themselves in the movie with an all-star cast. When they watched the movie, they would find the stars and get lost in the movie. If the audience couldn't immerse themselves in the plot, even if it was a blockbuster, it wouldn't be a good movie.
Liu Yong thought about it and agreed. Although it was a rare opportunity, it just so happened that they ran into it. Indeed, they couldn't compare with Cheng Yi's company. Even if they offended Xiang Qing, they might be able to reconcile with her after some benefits. If they offended Xiang Qing now, they would be directly banned from the entertainment industry and never be able to survive in the entertainment industry in the future.
"Oh right, President Wang said that he wants to talk to you about the new contract as soon as possible," Liu Yong said.
"Tell President Wang not to be anxious. The contract can't be settled in a day or two. After I finish shooting this movie, I'll settle down and talk to him in detail," Tao Wan said.
"I think he's quite anxious. After all, you're getting more and more popular now and you're dating Zheng Xuanlin. If Zheng Xuanlin can help you, it's not impossible for you to become an A-lister in the future. He's probably worried that you'll be signed by other companies. "
Tao Wan sighed and said, "Tell him not to be so nervous. Since I said that I want to win with the company, as long as the company can give me the most autonomy, I don't mind letting the company take more money."
Liu Yong nodded. "I'll tell him."
Cheng Yi succeeded in the audition. This was the benefit of the company's investment. Competing with other stars, he had a higher chance of winning. He was now on the plane back to China, but his mood wasn't particularly good because of the audition.
He already knew that Xiang Qing had changed the script, but it seemed that there was still room for him to salvage the situation. Whether it was the role of Ming Xuan or the movie, he didn't want to give it up.
He had thought that after his successful audition and signing the contract, he would continue to be popular in China for a long time. However, another piece of news completely overshadowed his news. It was the news that Director Bahl had personally asked Hua Xi to play the fairy princess.
Just because he had seen some of his archery videos, he had actually asked a man to play the princess. This idea was too exaggerated and unrealistic. After all, he was an international director. Couldn't he be more reliable?
There were so many female stars. Was there no one suitable to play the fairy princess? There were so many people who could shoot arrows. Did he have to publicly ask a man to play the princess? How could he let him overshadow his popularity?
Previously, he hadn't taken him seriously. He had only hated and envied him because he was with Zheng Xuanlin. However, he had never thought that he would lose to him in other aspects. But now, he had a huge sense of crisis. He felt that he had no choice but to do something.
After Cheng Yi returned to China, he immediately apologized to Xiang Qing and talked to her about the script.
After Xiang Qing had changed the script, she found that the revised plot was more to her liking. Perhaps it was because she had put more feelings into the role of Shui Junyao during the writing process, so changing the original plot made her feel more comfortable. Moreover, Cheng Yi had already signed the contract to play the role in the movie. It was impossible for him to take care of both sides. So, Xiang Qing changed the plot back.
Cheng Yi felt that Xiang Qing's stubbornness made him very angry. So, he directly asked the company to put pressure on Xiang Qing and make her give in.
In order to play the role well, Tao Wan turned down the invitation of a foreign director. So, he made the news again.
During the interview, Xiang Qing praised Tao Wan in all kinds of ways. She also insinuated that Cheng Yi didn't abide by the contract and didn't want to work with him in the future.
Filming with two crews at the same time was occasionally done in the entertainment industry. As long as one could take care of both sides, it was fine. But, one crew was in China and the other was abroad. Moreover, they were both big productions. It was almost impossible to take care of both sides.
If Xiang Qing didn't have any objections, it wouldn't be a big problem. But, not only did Xiang Qing have a big objection, she also mocked Cheng Yi during the interview and changed the content of the script. So, Cheng Yi's fans were very dissatisfied and said that they wanted to boycott the movie.
Xiang Qing also had a lot of fans. Although, as a director, she didn't have as many fans as Cheng Yi, it was obvious that Cheng Yi was in the wrong this time. So, many passers-by stood up for Xiang Qing.
Under such circumstances, Cheng Yi had to do something to save his reputation.
When Cheng Yi attended the event, he was interviewed by the media and was asked about the recent events.
Cheng Yi faced the reporters and hesitated to speak. He answered intermittently and incoherently. However, the experienced reporters were still able to obtain a huge amount of information from his words.
So, after the interview, many media outlets immediately reported that Cheng Yi was implying that he had been cheated on and that the person who had interfered in his relationship was Hua Xi. He wanted to leave the set as soon as possible because he didn't want to face the two of them again. Otherwise, he would feel like a knife was stabbed in his heart and he wouldn't stop bleeding. Moreover, the media concluded that Zheng Xuanlin and Hua Xi were very likely to be in a relationship.
This time, the internet was in an uproar. Fans from all walks of life were scolding each other. Some of them didn't even know if they were on the same side and directly started scolding.
Cheng Yi wasn't afraid of blowing the matter up. As long as he wasn't the one who was scolded the most, it was fine. He had already settled the divorce procedures and was single again. If they revealed that he had been married before, he would say that they were taking revenge on purpose and slandering him. He was obviously single.
If Zheng Xuanlin and Tao Wan were to announce their relationship publicly, Cheng Yi felt that it would be even better. He was merely a couple with Zheng Xuanlin, but he was often scolded by Zheng Xuanlin's fans. If they were to announce their relationship publicly, let's see if he could withstand the insults from Zheng Xuanlin's fans. At that time, he wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure and get scolded until they broke up. That would be exactly what he wanted.
