Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 137 Big Beard, can your director direct a movie?

Is this asking for praise?

Gu Bei followed Chen Kaige's gaze and looked at the luxurious theater under construction. "It's indeed magnificent. Are they going to use an all-wood structure to restore the architectural style of the time?"

"of course!"

Chen Kaige said proudly, "We consulted craftsmen with unique techniques and used the most appropriate materials and techniques for the time to create these. Our goal is to bring the audience back to that era!"

Gu Bei couldn't help but sigh that Chen Kaige was worthy of being called a contractor who was delayed by filming.

In those days, a Qin Palace was built in Hengdian.

Later, they built a Spring and Autumn and Warring States City, and a Tang Dynasty City from the Legend of the Demon Cat.
These movies are not as classic as Farewell My Concubine, but these studios will obviously be around for a long time.

In comparison, such a luxurious theater was probably built by Chen Kaige due to the cost of the film.

"I still need to learn from Director Chen. This kind of real-life footage has much more texture than special effects. I'll try to do more next time I get a chance."

Gu Bei's hands were already itching to do something.

Who hasn't had the idea of ​​building a wonder from the ground?

But for projects of that level,
At least it is an A-level production.
The budget is often tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars.
It’s not something that the current Gu Bei can handle.

However...Gu Bei could learn from Chen Kaige,
Make your own movies and let others pay for them.

Wasn’t the Qin Palace built back then funded by Hengdian Group? The cost was not included in the cost of Jing Ke’s assassination of the Qin King.

Gu Bei felt that he could have a chat with Han Sanpin.
Doesn’t Han Sanpin like big ones?

Then let’s do a big one!

Chen Kaige was very happy and felt that Gu Bei understood him.

"Director Gu, I'm sorry!" Chen Guofu apologized to Gu Bei, "This theater must be kept absolutely secret from the outside world before the movie is released. I didn't expect you to come here."

"Accompanying someone to an audition."

Gu Bei glanced at him indifferently.

Chen Guofu frowned slightly when he heard this.

Audition?

He only knew that the person auditioning this time was the young Fu Zhifang.

The original actor was scheduled to be Gillian Chung from Hong Kong and Taiwan, an artist under Emperor Motion Pictures, the distributor of Mei Lanfang.

But for some reason today, Chen Kaige suddenly asked for another round of auditions, and the ones he did were artists who had never auditioned before.

"coming."

Gu Bei suddenly spoke.

Chen Guofu looked up and saw three people coming from the makeup area.
Liu Yifei in the middle is wearing a red cotton-padded jacket, which looks very rustic.

But when she wore it, she managed to make it look fashionable.

It turns out to be her!
Chen Guofu recalled the news he heard last night, saying that Gu Bei and Wang Zhonglei had a disagreement at the cocktail party, and Wang Zhonglei then began to spread rumors that he wanted to ban Liu Yifei.

Combining the two, everything becomes clear.

"Isn't it a little too beautiful?"

After Chen Guofu figured it out, he immediately said calmly.

Chen Kaige frowned.

Liu Yifei's image is indeed somewhat unconventional.

This is inconsistent with the style of young Fu Zhifang who often hangs out in theaters.

"Guofu, you mean I'm not pretty enough?"

Chen Hong's tone was slightly cold.

What do you mean?
She can act well, but Liu Yifei is too beautiful.

She, Chen Hong, is old, but not ugly!

"Hahaha, my bad, my bad, I forgot about it!"

Chen Guofu wanted to help Mr. Wang, but did not want to offend Chen Hong. "If she grows up to look like Director Chen's wife, then her current appearance is normal." Chen Kaige looked at Chen Hong and Liu Yifei, the two beauties, one big and one small, together, and they really did look a bit similar.

Love the house and the dog,

He personally selected Chen Hong to play Fu Zhifang.

Naturally, no one would think that Liu Yifei is inappropriate to play the young Fu Zhifang.

After the image is passed, the next step is the audition.

"How about I ask a question?"

Several people came into the room and after getting Chen Kaige's permission,
Chen Guofu specifically chose a play for which he had no script: "Try to see Mei Lanfang perform. Show how you are astonished by his talent and then squeeze into the crowd to gaze at him admiringly."

After hearing this, Liu Yifei was a little surprised, but still began to prepare meticulously.

"This is completely different from the audition script I just gave you."

Liu Xiaoli spoke softly to Gu Bei, her tone slightly worried.

Gu Bei wasn't worried at all.
When filming Whiplash, he personally squeezed Liu Yifei and knew her limits!
After a while,
Liu Yifei began her performance.

She first stood on tiptoe slightly and stretched her neck slightly, as if there was a crowd in front of her blocking her view.

Then, she seemed to have seen some wonderful performance, and her eyes lit up instantly. Her original curious movements suddenly stopped, and her face revealed pure yearning.

Then, without hesitation, she pushed through the crowd, hunched her shoulders, and leaned in.
Finally, it stopped at her expression as she looked up at the stage in admiration.

"Clap clap clap!"

Du Jiayi was the first to start applauding.

As a producer, he had seen the performances of Liu Yifei's competitors.
Just from this scene, Liu Yifei has won completely.

He leaned close to Chen Kaige's ear and whispered, "I think this actor's performance is better than Miss Zhong's."

Chen Kaige also nodded.
He was also very satisfied with Liu Yifei's performance.

Liu Yifei's performance was a little better than that of Whacked Drummer.

Liu Yifei's performance in "Whispering Drummer" is natural, but her performance is only a passing score of 60 points.
But in such a short time, he could give her a score of 70 for this performance, which was obviously better.

Chen Guofu was a little anxious: "Let me try again."

So he asked Liu Yifei to try another scene.

It is still above 60 points, 70 points.

Come again!

Still 70 points.

I don’t believe it, another paragraph!
Still 70 points.

Chen Guofu asked Liu Yifei to try out one scene after another. Liu Yifei was able to perform at a level of 70 points almost every time, and occasionally she would even have a stunning performance.

This stable performance surprised Chen Kaige a little.

"Guo Fu, I feel like it's okay. If I try again, I'll have to finish the whole play."

Chen Kaige finally interrupted Chen Guofu. The young Fu Zhifang only had less than ten minutes of scenes, and if he tried any further he would have no chance of success.

"Thank you, Director Chen and this teacher."

Liu Yifei politely said goodbye to everyone before leaving the room with Gu Bei and the others.

After Liu Yifei left,

Chen Guofu sat down next to Chen Kaige somewhat helplessly.

He's a little bit stunned now.
The performance of this little girl named Liu Yifei is too stable.

Under such heavy pressure from him, he didn't make even a single mistake!
He thought of the bearded man who was also under Huayi.

Bearded Man, can your director direct a movie?

It's a complete waste to give you an actor like this!
