New Age Artists

Chapter 63: The Flaming Rose Li Bingbing (Fourth Update)
Li Yu explained: "Everyone doesn't like my sister's appearance."

It was she who single-handedly marketed Li Bingbing as a sexy thief, diluting the offensive aspects of Li Bingbing's appearance.

"Who told you you didn't like it?"

Shen Santong asked back while putting makeup on Li Bingbing.

This pair of sisters is really interesting. The younger sister is a nympho, while the older sister considers herself a lesbian.

In the future, she will consider herself a white lotus and package her image to appear pure.

"Commercial performances and business prefer Fan Bingbing, which means everyone likes her looks." Li Yu said unhappily.

Sexy thief marketing is her specialty.

"It only means that the boss likes a majestic and charming look, but it doesn't mean that everyone likes it. Don't easily define what the public likes."

Shen Santong said calmly: "What do the public like? Of course the public likes everything and wants it all."

"Hmph, you men just want to have it all." Li Yu snorted coldly.

"Xiaoxue, don't be disrespectful. How can you talk to Director Shen like that?"

Li Bingbing gave Li Yu a lecture and quickly changed the subject. "Director Shen, I think the best story is about being trapped on the same day."

He glanced at his sister in the mirror and told her to control her temper.

The main task today is to finalize the project in Shen Santong's hands. If we offend him, there will be no point in talking about it.

Li Yu saw Shen Santong with his back to the mirror, busy working on Li Bingbing's face.

Occasionally I would look into her eyes with a serious look.

Looking at Li Bingbing's slightly warning look in the mirror, I was speechless.

My sister's man is probably hinting that he wants it all and that we should all take it together, so we can't take it lightly.

Although he got the advantage, the initiative of the project is still in Shen Santong's hands.

It is more difficult to deal with than some old artists in the circle who are ruthless and ruthless.

"Let's just have a normal discussion, it's not a big deal. Public aesthetics is closely related to the success of a film. To put it bluntly, theater movies take money out of the audience's pockets, so it's important to figure out the audience's preferences." Shen Santong sat on the dressing table, drawing eyeliner for Li Bingbing.

When she was young, she had some baby fat, but after she turned 30, the baby fat disappeared and her appearance became even better.

From a close distance, it is very beautiful, with a striking aura.

She had a heroic look, but King Ada was just cold and was frozen in the end.

Shangguan of Tongtian Empire and the White-haired Witch of Kung Fu show more characteristics of appearance.

"Among the mainland directors, you are the only one who understands the audience the best."

Li Bingbing's words were flattery, but also sincere.

"I should say that I am the director who understands the audience best in China. People in Hong Kong and Taiwan cannot do that. Their thinking is different from ours."

Shen Santong said bluntly: "You can observe that except for the rather unusual Stephen Chow, other films in Hong Kong can easily make 20 or 30 million, but it is difficult to make more than 50 million, and even more difficult to make more than 100 million. Even if the mainland market explodes in the future, it will still be like this."

"It seems to be true." Li Bingbing suddenly realized that Shen Santong was right.

Movies produced in Hong Kong can indeed sell well, but there is a line.

Once you reach that line, you can’t break through.

"Hong Kong films can't resonate with us audiences. They try hard to amuse the audience, and the audience knows they are trying hard, so there is a sense of alienation."

Shen Santong answered Li Bingbing's doubts: "The only directors who can resonate with the audience are those we have trained ourselves. It's just that we are short of commercial film projects at the moment, and the films of Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang lack some flavor."

Hearing this, Li Bingbing was shocked and could only smile and agree: "Only Director Shen can say such a thing."

The three major players in the Chinese film market, Hong Kong Island, Feng Xiaogang, and Zhang Yimou, all look down on him. He is no longer an ordinary director. If the news gets out to these people, they must be dealt with forcefully.

Oh, it’s Shen Santong who starred in “Supermarket”, that’s okay.

In other words, Shen Santong can speak freely and dares to speak, while Li Bingbing doesn't even dare to comment.

Shen Santong talked about A World Without Thieves, in which Li Bingbing participated: "Take A World Without Thieves for example. It's a story about a thief who puts down his butcher knife and becomes a Buddha. Most of the audiences were robbed and couldn't sympathize with the thief. The short-term use of the popularity of the train theft to squeeze box office revenue was no longer viable by the third weekend."

"Director Shen, do you think our mainland stars can carry the box office?" Li Bingbing brought the topic back.

"It's hard to say. If you say my new movie has a female lead and a female star to carry the box office, I can't say it will be successful. If you say whether mainland stars can carry the box office, I can tell you for sure that they can."

Shen Santong said what he thought: "The so-called only Hong Kong stars can carry the box office is a lie that cannot be disproven. We only have two or three teams that can shoot commercial projects, and there are too few hits. We can't prove ourselves. Of course, what Hong Kong says is what it is."

Only Hong Kong stars have box office appeal, while mainland stars do not.

It is essentially the same as calling a horse a zebra or the U.S. moon landing, a declaration of the right to speak.

It is obvious that the US faked the moon landing, not to mention that the Soviet Union did not have doubts. If they had no doubts, they would not have developed detection satellites.

In fact, after the ability of space exploration was developed, moon landings stopped.

Anyone who rashly questions the hoax of the moon landing will face crushing blows from military, financial and media hegemony.

The same is true of calling a deer a horse.

Everyone knows that it is not a horse, but it is the executioner who endorses "calling a deer a horse".

Who dares to prove it?
Therefore a deer is a horse.

Ordinary audiences can complain about why mainland stars are not the protagonists, but people in the industry cannot.

The people who endorse Hong Kong stars' box office appeal are all the people in Hong Kong, both in front of and behind the scenes, and the commercial film production teams that are more advanced than those in mainland China.

There is also general funding that doesn't require any money. Some film investors don't treat money as money and just invest casually.

Not only the investors, but also the producers don't care much.

It was not until the underground money houses and shadow banks were cleaned up that people suddenly started to care.

Anyone who dares to question the appeal of Hong Kong stars will face a combination of attacks.

Li Bingbing didn't dare to participate in such a topic, not even in private, for fear of it getting out, so he brought the topic back to the topic: "Director Shen is the only one who can prove that we are no worse than others. I hope to restore the reputation of mainland actors by participating in Director Shen's film."

Shen Santong also noticed it. Is he that scared? He doesn't even dare to complain in private.

It seemed like something happened to Little White Dragon, and he didn't make a sound.

There is indeed a conflict of interest. As the number one lady in Huayi, she has close ties with Hong Kong Island.

Speechless. A little disappointed with Li Bingbing. I just want to eat ready-made food.

Shen Santong was somewhat bored, so he motioned for Li Bingbing to get up and change her clothes: "Come and see, I'll help you match them. Do you have a leather jacket? Yes, smile, with your teeth showing."

"Wow."

Li Bingbing looked at himself in the mirror, unable to believe it. A word subconsciously popped up in his mind: flaming rose.

The thick black long hair is neatly tied behind the head, revealing the whole face. The flaming red lips are very impactful. Paired with a slim leather jacket, the heroic looks, neat figure, and handsome and beautiful temperament are fully exuded, giving off a cool beauty.

"If it's the apartment drama, the temperament should be weaker in the early stage, and this temperament should be in the middle and late stages. If it's a drama that repeats the birthday day, it should be sweeter in the early stage, and then fully show this side in the middle and late stages."

Shen Santong was also amazed when he looked at the image he created.

If "Tu Tu Apartment" or "Happy Death Day" were really filmed, Li Bingbing would indeed be very suitable.

I just can’t even express my opinion in private, I feel a little embarrassed.
