Chapter 158 Zhao Liying (4/4)

Zhao Liying received an audition invitation for "The Unforgettable Number" and was a little confused...

After winning the Yahoo Star Search, she joined Huayi Brothers...

That year, Huayi signed eight new artists: He Zhuoyan, Ma Ke, Xu Baixiao, Liu Ke, Wang Kai, Song Wenting, Ai Lijiang, and Zhao Liying...

Among these newcomers, except He Zhuoyan who has slightly better resources, the others have been playing minor roles in different dramas and have not seen the light of day for a long time.

She also played various minor roles - I must say that although her subsequent TV series were all minor roles, they were all pretty high-quality minor roles...

The kind with lines and roles.

If it continues to develop, there is a high probability that it will become a big special!

In 09, she followed her agent Hao Ru to leave Huayi and joined Peking University Star, where she stayed for about a year. During this period, she played supporting roles in TV series such as "The Wedding Banquet" and "Xia Yan's Autumn".

Last year, Hao Ru went to Hairun, and she signed with Hairun Film and Television, and then starred in "Li Wei as an Official 3" ("The Royal Secret Agent")... By the way, she also got the role of Qing'er in "The New Return of the Condor Heroes"!
The show "Inner Court Underdog" aired...

Actually, this drama is quite good, and the trilogy of "Li Wei as an Official" is pretty good!

Unfortunately, the ratings were not good - the local TV stations broadcast it quite well, but it was not broadcast on any first-tier platform, and the satellite TV that was finally chosen was Jiangxi Satellite TV.

Zhouyi is about to go bankrupt!
Back to Zhao Liying, she curiously asked Hao Ru: "Is this "The Unforgettable Number" a good script?"

Hao Ru nodded: "The script is good... The key is that the producer is very good, Hualu Baina... Director Xu Jizhou is also very good..."

"Do you know them?"

“…I’ve only met him a few times, but we’ve never talked…”

"Then why did they look for me? A minor supporting role?"

"No, I have a lot of scenes, I'm considered one of the protagonists..." After a pause, she asked Zhao Liying: "Xiao Zhao, do you know Shen Yan?"

“…I don’t know him!”

"Then why did he recommend you?"

Zhao Liying was surprised: "He recommended me? Why?"

"you ask me?"

“…So let’s go audition?”

"Of course we have to go..." Hao Ru pondered for a moment, then said, "I heard he's filming a movie in BJ. After our audition, let's go visit him!"

"Making a movie? What kind of movie?"

"...You should pay more attention to the film industry. The movie is called 'My Girlhood'... I heard that Huang Zhonglei from Huayi wanted to get involved, but he turned him down!"

"Rejected? So crazy?"

"I have the capital to be arrogant!" Hao Ru said, "The role you are auditioning for is called Cui Jiuwo... a progressive young man who runs away from home in anger because he cannot stand his father's inaction in the face of the Japanese massacre. On the way, he meets Chen Feng, the commander of the Nationalist Army... He falls in love with him at first sight and swears to follow him until his death.

This Chen Feng is the character played by Shen Yan!"

“Who was the reference for this character?”

Hao Ru pondered for a moment, then said, "Xiuqin...but she comes from a well-off family, don't be so unsophisticated!"

……

I have to say that Hao Ru really helped Xiao Zhao a lot in starting his career!

If an actor wants to be seen, he definitely needs resources, and high-quality resources.

Otherwise, someone like He Zhuoyan, who played a lot of dramas, such as Shuang'er in "The Deer and the Cauldron", Wang Yanyu, the female lead in "The Legend of Tang Dynasty Knight-errant", and later played Xiao Zhao in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber"...

The audience has zero memory!

Of course, "The Unforgettable Number" is an anti-Japanese war drama, and there is nothing memorable about the female characters, except for Diao Chan!

On the one hand, Yao Qianyu is indeed heroic, and on the other hand, the CP feeling between Sai Diaochan and Li Dabenshi is very touching.

Cui Dimple is a little bit off...

Even the hesitancy between her and Chen Feng really affected the viewing experience - the main plot of "The Unforgettable Number" is about fighting the Japanese...

However, this resource is really good for Zhao Liying at this stage...

"The Unforgettable Number" is a serious drama!
The ones Xiao Zhao has come into contact with so far are not so positive...

She also treated it with great care...

In March, the weather in BJ is still quite cold...

Fortunately, the role of adult Lin Zhenxin is not much, unlike "Architecture Introduction"

It is equivalent to the opening and ending of the film appearing once...

Today I filmed an outdoor scene, listening to Xu Taiyu's message while sitting in the park and looking up at the stars...

Of course, where does BJ get the starry sky to look up at?
Will replace it later...

There's another concert the day after tomorrow, "Love You" by Andy Lau, and Lin Zhenxin couldn't get tickets. So, she had to go to the stadium where the concert was being held on the day of the concert to see if there were any scalpers available...

Then I met Andy Lau by chance!
Mainly because Andy Lau will be coming to BJ the day after tomorrow...

It seems that they are discussing a new cooperation with Bona - "I Know Women's Heart", which was released at the beginning of the year. The box office and reputation were mediocre, but it still made money - through advertising placement!

The product placement in "I Know What Women Want" is downright madcap—the story takes place in an advertising agency, the hero is the creative director, and the heroine is also a creative director...

The setting of the advertising company is so good. The people who insert advertisements are no longer sneaky mistresses, but are directly given a grand ceremony and a memorial archway.

Although Bona is not very satisfied with the box office of "What Women Want", they are very satisfied with Andy Lau's advertising and investment ability!
As for whether they will cooperate, it’s hard to say...

Anyway, Bona helped distribute "A Simple Life"... and then Andy Lau started collaborating with Edko Films...

But that's Andy Lau, a star among stars...

We finished filming today and everyone is looking forward to tomorrow’s scenes!

Ma Yili looked at the filming schedule for tomorrow and was surprised: "You really invited Andy Lau?"

Shen Yan nodded: "Yes!"

"You know him?"

"No need to know him!" Shen Yan shook his head: "Mr. Liu Dehua is famous for supporting the younger generation... I wrote him a letter..."

“…Then I must arrive early tomorrow!”

"No need..." Shen Yan explained: "Liu Dehua will arrive around 3 pm, and we will meet for an hour..."

Ma Yili reminded him, "Then you have to do a good job of security."

"It's not that bad..."

"Not really? He's Andy Lau. If the news gets out, the filming area will definitely be surrounded by people..."

Shen Yan thought about it and nodded: "...That's right, thank you Sister Ma for reminding me..."

Ma Yili waved her hand, got in the car and left...

Shen Yan immediately called Ji Xiang over and told him about this. Ji Xiang rolled his eyes and said, "Do I need you to remind me? I've already reported this to the public security department here!"

"...That's good. Nothing must go wrong...and no sneak shots. I plan to use this as a secret weapon and promote it after the release!"

"Secret weapon?"

“A surprise for the audience!”

The two were chatting when Chen Xu came over at a trot: "Brother Yan, someone is visiting!"

"Visiting the set? Who's there?"

“…I don’t know her, but she said you know her…”

"What's your name?"

"Zhao Liying!"

"Oh..." Shen Yan understood: "Okay, I'll go and take a look..."

Ji Xiang followed him and asked, "Who is Zhao Liying?"

"An actress...playing Qing'er in 'New My Fair Princess'!"

"Why is she looking for you?"

"Yesterday, during the audition for 'The Unforgettable Number', Director Xu Jizhou asked me if I had any suitable actress recommendations, and I recommended her..."
