Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 186 Yuanyuan Borrowing Money

Chunqiu and Huaxia Audio-Visual reached a strategic cooperation a few years ago to jointly develop Jin Yong's martial arts novels.

The two companies jointly produced, or produced individually, include "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", "The Knight-Errant", "The Sword Stained with Royal Blood", "The Untold Story" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

This year, they plan to co-produce two dramas, one is "Flying Fox of Snow Mountain", which will be directed by Fatty Wang, and the other is "The Deer and the Cauldron", which will be directed by Big Beard.

How could Liu Jing not be surprised that the filming of this play had not even started, let alone the preparations of the crew?

The interview was recorded for several hours, and not all scenes will be released as they will have to be edited later.

After the recording was over, Liu Jing immediately asked the bearded man about The Deer and the Cauldron, "Director Zhang, your casting for The Deer and the Cauldron is quite special this time?"

The bearded man sighed, looking distressed, "Alas! Liu Jing, you don't understand. The previous hype was too intense, and with the casting being that way this time, who would sign up?"

"It's impossible for so many artists in the company to shoot a drama at the same time. At the end of last year, Sister Min held an annual meeting and set the tone. Each drama will have an old actor with two newcomers, and try to avoid several old actors shooting a drama at the same time. Don't mention me, there is no way Sister Min will agree to your casting plan." Liu Jing said bluntly.

The so-called old actors refer to artists who have a certain status in the entertainment industry.

Gao Yuanyuan, Yan Danchen, Chen Zihan and Li Xiaoran, the four veterans of Chunqiu Films, usually don't play supporting roles. When they go out to film, they are at least the second or third female lead, and they all have the task of guiding newcomers.

In 2006, the entertainment industry also had a new pattern.

In order to promote the two Bingbings under its banner, Huayi grouped together the four major actresses, thus giving rise to the saying "Four Dans and Two Bings".

If these six are first-tier players, Gao Yuanyuan is a quasi-first-tier player, and Li Xiaoran and the other three are second-tier players.

"Haha, you don't understand this. We have the final say on how to cast the characters, and the plan is always changing. No one can say it's certain until the last moment. What I said on the show was also a form of hype. First test the audience's attitude, and then see the reaction of the industry, and make adjustments based on these. Among the people I mentioned today, at most two or three will be used in the end. Zhang Min has set the tone, and I dare not go against it." The bearded man smiled. Public casting was definitely not going to happen. After filming several dramas, he had offended half of the actors in the entertainment industry.

"You never miss any opportunity to hype yourself up." Liu Jing was speechless.

"Even good wine needs no bush. The current market situation in mainland China is no longer what it was ten years ago. There are more and more TV dramas, and the audience has more and more choices. It's still like before, waiting for the audience to discover it. Unless the drama is really good, it will die slowly. Hype, hype, not only hype, but also hype. It's a double-edged sword. It can make a drama popular, but also make it a mess. How to grasp the right timing is an art." The bearded man was very proud. He felt that he was an expert in this area.

Liu Jing did not look down on him. He believed that this man did have some abilities.

"I'll make it clear in advance that I won't play Wei Xiaobao, and no one can say anything about it this time." Liu Jing gave him a shot of prevention.

"Um, young master, others can be replaced, but you can't." The bearded man was dumbfounded.

As long as Liu Jing is in his hands, it will be very easy for Wei Xiaobao to find wives. Many female artists want to work with Liu Jing. There will be many applicants by then, and he can choose however he wants. This is his little idea.

"Others don't need to change, but I have to. I haven't had time in the past two years. I'm really sorry." Liu Jing didn't like Wei Xiaobao at all. He liked Wei Xiaobao's romantic encounters, but he didn't like that kind of personality. He was not that kind of person and felt he couldn't play that role.

"I asked Zhang Min, and she said that the company hasn't arranged any roles for you in the past year." The bearded man was unwilling to accept this.

"Then go ask again. I'm going to the U.S. to shoot Rush Hour 3 during the summer vacation, and I'm going to practice the whole script during the winter vacation."

"What about other times?"

"I'm in class. I'm still a student, and a freshman at that. Our school has strict regulations that prohibit going out to film during class." Liu Jing argued.

The bearded man was like eating a fly. Your school does have this rule, but it is for students in the acting department. Moreover, some acting students, as long as they apply to their class teacher and check the script, will generally be allowed.

This is much more relaxed than the Central Academy of Drama, and the Beijing Film Academy does not want to hinder the students' future.

The bearded man smiled and put his arm around Liu Jing's shoulders. "Brother, I heard that you are very interested in talent shows recently. Do you want to meet me and see what it's like?"

"Yahoo Star Search?"

Big Beard is also busy. In addition to worrying about the post-production of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", he is also a judge of "Yahoo Star Search".

The program team hired three famous directors, Da Huzi, Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige. Each of them led a team to compete on the same stage for the No. 1 spot.

There are quite a few talent shows recently. In addition to the "Yahoo Star Search" which has already been launched, there is also the "Dream China" which is about to begin, and "Super Girl" will also be launched next month.

Many film and television companies want to get involved in talent shows. Spring and Autumn Pictures has a good relationship with CCTV and recently collaborated on "Dream China".

In addition, Dragon TV has My Style My Show and Go! Good Man.

Among so many talent shows, Yahoo Star Search has the least presence.

Alibaba acquired Yahoo China and, in order to promote itself, it copied the Super Girl model and organized a talent show.

Super Girl is a singing competition, and the test is quite diverse, covering music, dance, film and television, hosting, etc. Anyone with some talent can sign up.

The registration threshold is very low and the quality is uneven.

The three famous directors all came with money, and they also used the titles of being signed to Huayi and being famous directors shooting commercials to attract heroes from all walks of life to sign up.

In fact, the three big directors and Huayi did not take this program seriously.

"I'll give you the entire region's judging panel to play with, and your appearance fee is five hundred thousand." The bearded man said with a smile.

"I'm still a student. How can I be qualified to be a judge?" Liu Jing shook his head.

"What's the big deal? We're just having fun. Comment whatever you want." The bearded man didn't care.

"Who else will be the judges for this competition area?" Liu Jing was curious.

"I'm not sure, it seems that there are Tao Hong and Fan Bingbing. Aren't these two your acquaintances?" The bearded man shook his head. He has been busy with "The Return of the Condor Heroes" recently, and going there is just a formality.

"I will attend the Yue Opera Centennial Celebration in a few days, and I'll stop by to see you." Liu Jing really wanted to go and see it for himself.

"What ceremony are you attending?" The bearded man was surprised.

"If you like drama, that's not possible." Liu Jing was very unhappy. Why did everyone have the same attitude when they heard the news?

"Even if others can't do it, you can definitely do it." The bearded man didn't dare to say anything.

"How about this, let Yuanyuan go and show her presence. When you guys have the finals, I'll go and join in the fun."

"I tell you, these little guys are quite interesting. I don't know how to sing, and they are all out of tune..."

……

An old man and a young boy were whispering to each other. Qianqian was chatting with Yang Mi and Chen Zihan and was becoming increasingly impatient.

She wasn't impatient with the two, but she found that their expressions were becoming more and more vulgar. "Don't let the old guy lead you astray." Xixi muttered secretly.

"Sister Shasha, when will your movie "Legend of White Snake" be released?" Several girls had just taken off their makeup and were chatting together. Only Yang Mi was so curious.

"Soon, around April or May." Chen Zihan has a hot body, but she is actually a very introverted person.

"Mi Mi, go call Mu Tou, it's time to go back." Xixi pushed Yang Mi. She always felt that the bearded man had bad intentions.

"Just wave your hand and he will come over." Yang Mi didn't want to go. Director Zhang and the eldest brother were having a great conversation, and she didn't want to spoil their mood.

"That's your eldest brother." Xixi didn't want to go either.

Yang Mi curled her lips. He is indeed my eldest brother, but you are his eldest sister. She dared not ignore her eldest sister's plan, so she shouted, "Brother Mu, Xixi is hungry."

When she called out, she didn't call Liu Jing, but the host Li Jing.

The host had just come out of her make-up and said quickly, "Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll treat you tonight, so come sit down with me."

"No, no, tonight... Sister Yuanyuan is coming back to Beijing, and I'm going to treat her to dinner." Xixi said quickly.

Gao Yuanyuan has finished filming her scenes in "Baby Project" and her morning flight is about to arrive.

Liu Jing did not expose the truth. Xixi was just using this as an excuse. She would not hold a welcoming ceremony for Gao Yuanyuan.

After everyone came back from the recording site, Xixi took Yang Mi and Chen Zihan shopping without even mentioning treating them to a meal.

The bearded man wanted to invite Liu Jing to drink, but Liu Jing directly refused.

He is not sick. Why would he spend time with an old man instead of a beautiful woman?

He is not sick, but Gao Yuanyuan seems to be sick.

Liu Jing came to the door carrying ten carrots. Gao Yuanyuan looked tired and lazy.

"What are you doing?" Liu Jing frowned.

"I just took a nap on the sofa. I think I caught a cold." Gao Yuanyuan had a heavy nasal tone.

"Have you taken the temperature?" Liu Jing closed the door. The girl was wearing thin pajamas and there was only a blanket on the sofa. It would be strange if she didn't catch a cold in this weather.

"Not yet..." Gao Yuanyuan squatted down to look for her shoes and almost fell.

Liu Jing carried her back to the bedroom and touched her forehead with his hand, but found nothing.

"Cold..." He found a thermometer and put it in his armpit. Gao Yuanyuan suddenly woke up.

"Don't move, take your temperature." Liu Jing held down the dishonest Gao Yuanyuan and pulled the quilt over her.

"Brother Wuji, you are so nice." Gao Yuanyuan laughed.

"Let me pour you a cup of hot water."

Liu Jing stood up to leave, but Gao Yuanyuan stopped him, "Don't go, I don't want to drink hot water, I want you to hold me."

"Your lips are so dry." Liu Jing kissed his forehead, and Gao Yuanyuan let go.

"Mu Tou, don't worry, it's not my period today." Gao Yuanyuan said in a low voice.

"..." Liu Jing took a deep breath. Someone's teasing was always silent and imperceptible.

"You shouldn't have kissed there just now. If you were an expert in the field of love, you would have asked me to moisten your lower lip." Gao Yuanyuan muttered and also raised her opinion.

Liu Jing was too lazy to argue. This girl had many tricks and Zhang Min was no match for her.

He fed her some water, then asked, "What happened? Were you bullied on the set?"

"They know I'm yours and they take good care of me."

"Is that what you said?" Liu Jing was speechless.

"I'm not a fool, how could I say that? Don't worry, it won't affect your reputation." Gao Yuanyuan pouted.

"Don't move, let me check the thermometer." Liu Jing pressed Gao Yuanyuan.

"Mu Tou, the armpit temperature is not accurate. Do you want to measure it accurately?" Gao Yuanyuan blinked her innocent big eyes and said something that made Liu Jing think a lot.

"The temperature is not high, fortunately there is no fever." Liu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even if the temperature is not high, I can still have a fever. Give me an injection and prescribe the right medicine, and I will definitely get better." Gao Yuanyuan grabbed Liu Jing's hand and drew circles in the palm of his hand.

"You're going all out today." Liu Jing understood that this guy was going to let him hit a home run today.

"If I don't take risks now, I'll become an old maid." Gao Yuanyuan looked gloomy. She was a 26-year-old maid and really wanted to experience life.

"Let's go to the hospital later. I'm worried." Liu Jing couldn't bear to trouble a sick girl at this time.

"I don't want to go to the hospital. I want you to stay with me for two days. It's okay if you don't want me to, just stay with me quietly." Gao Yuanyuan lay in Liu Jing's arms.

"Okay." Liu Jing patted her on the back. This girl must have encountered some trouble.

"Mu Tou, I have almost two million in my account. When I have saved two million, I will pay you back, and I will still be a millionaire."

"No rush, it's fine to return it anytime." Liu Jing said softly.

He didn't think about the money at all, but Gao Yuanyuan was very determined and the money must be returned.

"If you borrow and repay on time, it won't be difficult to borrow again." Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

"You are a big star now, I will have to borrow money from you in the future." Liu Jing joked.

"Mu Tou, I want to borrow a few hundred million from you, will you lend it to me?" Gao Yuanyuan showed a sly smile.

Liu Jing's expression straightened up. "Yuanyuan, are you in trouble? If you are in trouble, you must tell me. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Don't mention a few hundred million. If it really comes to the point, even if it's tens or hundreds of billions, I will help you."
