New Age Artists

Chapter 76 Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing PK
"My sister's play."

Li Yu demonstrated his specialty dishes and gave a hint.

Fortunately, the small kitchen is fully equipped with all kinds of kitchen utensils, so you can make popcorn, have hot pot, deep-fry, stir-fry, and even stir-fry.

"Can your sister cooperate with the publicity? Do you know who I am?"

Shen Santong gave a hint: "I am the hope of domestic films, the representative of the local industry, and the first director of the new generation. Do you know the weight of these titles?"

"Yes, I'm here to audition for Director Shen's new play. He is the hope of domestic films, and of course I hope to be able to act in it. Director Shen has proven that our mainland team and our mainland actors can do it."

Li Bingbing said in an interview: "I hope to contribute to mainland films. This is the responsibility of us mainland filmmakers. Regardless of whether I can be selected or not, I think this is what I should do."

On March 3, the audition for the female lead of "Happy Birthday" was held in a hotel auditorium.

"Director Shen's movies make me laugh out loud, and I watch them often. Yes, of course I hope to be able to participate," said Fan Bingbing in an interview with reporters.

The reporter asked again: "What do you think about Shen Santong still using mainland actors and no Hong Kong stars participating? Many people say that he is hostile to Hong Kong Island."

"We are all Chinese filmmakers." Fan Bingbing smiled.

He entered the hotel surrounded by his assistants and agents.

"If you stay away from me, are you still a man?"

Shen Santong was severely educated by Sun Li: "Don't be so stressed. This is how our business works. When you go out, more women mean more opportunities."

Auditorium, audition scene.

start working.

"Teacher Sun Li, you will play the role of someone who likes to vent his anger on others and cannot handle interpersonal relationships well." When it was Sun Li's turn to audition, Shen Santong made a request.

Sun Li gave a performance which was really good.

The casting director said, "Thank you for your hard work. Please wait for our news."

"The emotional transitions were not handled very well, and were a bit over-excited." After Sun Li left, the casting director gave his opinion.

Shen Santong nodded in agreement, but he knew better that Sun Li's performance was already very smooth after having eaten stir-fried hotpot.

"Teacher Ma, you show the image of a sister group leader."

After watching Ma Yili's performance, Shen Santong asked her to perform another segment and gave her a few lines.

"As a member of the Plastic Flower Sisterhood, figure comes first." Ma Yili said in a warning tone.

This scene is about the sisters having a gathering at noon. One of the sisters who didn’t eat breakfast in the morning is caught by her with a bunch of delicious food.

After the performance, Ma Yili realized that she might not have a chance to play the female lead anymore.

Sure enough, Shen Santong asked, "Teacher Ma, if it's a supporting role, would you be willing to play it?"

"Of course." Ma Yili agreed immediately.

She has a status in the field of TV dramas, and her role as Xia Ziwei in the third season of Wild Princess Looking for Her Father made her famous.

But in the field of movies, it is still her ex-boyfriend who calls the shots.

Being a supporting actor in a new film by a billionaire director like Shen Santong is also a great resource.

The casting director said, “Please wait for our notification.”

"She will be the leader of the Plastic Flower Sisters Group for the time being." Shen Santong has already chosen a candidate for the female lead.

Li Bingbing made her public statement and she is very suitable, so it is basically her.

Li Bingbing is a member of the Plastic Flower Sisterhood, so the actress who plays with her cannot be too young, Ma Yili is the best. In the original version, it is a sisterhood, just like a brotherhood.

The dregs of American campus culture, a tormenting thing.

There were no old Chinese people, so Shen Santong formed a group of fake sisters.

The symbol of sisterly friendship is like a plastic flower that never fades.

There is a small burden, which does not wither, but is fake.

It will definitely become a classic buzzword.

"Teacher Li, here are your lines."

Shen Santong took out a script and handed it to Li Bingbing.

When the heroine saw the hero die for her, she completely opened her heart and fell in love with him. When she was able to kill the serial killer, she chose to commit suicide.

Because they are worried that killing the serial killer will end the cycle and the male protagonist will die.

Shen Santong acted opposite Li Bingbing and added a kissing scene to the original version.

It's saved during the audition, there's no need to act it out.

After the performance, Li Bingbing left and Shen Santong praised: "The lines are good, the expression is natural, the movements are smooth, and it's a good performance."

The casting director agreed immediately: "This is the best performance among all the auditions. I think this is the one to be chosen."

"Try Fan Bingbing's play and see the effect."

Shen Santong was very serious in his attitude and let the play speak for itself.

Fan Bingbing performed a segment and his acting was okay, but he was indeed a little young.

She looks very majestic, but she can't compare to Li Bingbing's natural aging.

In addition, she is very nice and flattering in private, but is unwilling to express her opinion in public.

Shen Santong sighed: "She is so beautiful, but her age and character don't match, which is a pity."

"Li Bingbing is better." The casting director gave Li Bingbing a vote.

"Look, we don't just have Birthday, we also have The Lost Apartment, which requires a lot of roles."

As a commercial film director, Shen Santong knows how to use top actors like Fan Bingbing.

He already had an idea that would turn out well.

The Shallows.

Shen Santong wanted to make this play, and exploring 3D technology was only part of the reason. The most important reason was that he wanted to create a famous scene.

The Western camp, especially the United States and Japan, has been the most wasteful in killing the most large marine life.

Instead, the older Chinese are the ones who take the blame.

Shen Santong wanted to create a famous scene, saying "no trade, no harm". He collaborated with the media to fabricate a series of false information, which led to the unemployment of people in a town in Laozhong and exposed the fact of deep-sea fishing.

It exposes the hypocrisy of some people.

We have to wait several years for The Shallows. He wants to make this movie in 3D so that the audience can feel the impact of sharks, but the film technology is not yet advanced enough.

Shen Santong gets a headache when he thinks of film technology.
