Chapter 59 Conflict
A day later, on the next afternoon, Cheng Xu received a notice from the crew of China Television's "Great Cause", asking them to sign the contract.
At that time, he thought it was a prank. If he hadn't seen that it was the same familiar person, and Director Zhang's phone number and voice hadn't changed, he might have had to discuss what a longmen formation was with the person on the other end of the phone.
After hanging up the phone, he sat in the office in a daze, staring face to face with Wu Xinran, the CEO of Huanxing, for several minutes.
"Mr. Wu, the crew of the Central Television's "Great Cause" called and asked us to come over to sign the contract!"
Even his tone when speaking to Wu Xinran sounded a little weak.
Wu Xinran took a deep breath and tried hard to maintain her trembling laughter: "Xiao Han is really my big baby!"
Before signing Xiao Han, the top star they had spent countless costs to train abandoned them and jumped to Juxing Entertainment. The company was greatly affected. Now what the company lacks most is artists who can show off their talents.
Xiao Han is now participating in China Television's "Great Cause". This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the country. This movie may be a big movie dedicated to the centenary.
This was a rare thing, and even if Xiao Han didn't get paid for the film, they were willing to pay for it out of their own pockets.
"Have you chosen the PR team for Xiao Han?"
"This time, I don't believe I can bet on the wrong person!"
Wu Xinran's eyes were fierce, and it was obvious that she was ready to devote all her resources to the training of Xiao Han.
She just couldn't believe that her vision was so bad that one or two people could change jobs.
Cheng Xu nodded. He always attached great importance to Xiao Han's affairs.
Seeing Wu Xinran's expression, he told her about meeting Li Yu on the day of the audition.
"Li Yu from the Qi family?"
Wu Xinran was stunned. Even though the entertainment industry is so lively, the directors, bosses, investors and so on are all very powerful.
If we really put it in front of the Qi family, she would be a humble person.
For example, when she went to a large gathering with her father, the father and daughter took a look at the legendary head of the Qi family from afar.
Li Yu was standing next to him at that time.
After meeting him, she felt that his appearance and temperament were stunning, but unfortunately his aura was too sharp, like a blade, anyone who touched it would die.
The father and daughter just looked at those who came closer from afar. The chairman and big boss who looked down on them and bowed and scraped in front of them didn't even have the qualifications to speak.
The Qi family’s businesses are spread all over the world, with the largest number in China.
"He personally escorted Xiao Han out of the elevator, and his attitude was gentle?"
"Are they friends?"
Wu Xinran thought so, but always felt something was wrong.
She shook her head with a look of envy and emotion, she couldn't understand the world of rich people.
"..."
Cheng Xu was silent.
"The Great Cause" is a movie with historical educational significance and promotes positive energy. It has attracted much attention from everyone from directors and producers to extras.
There is no need for the Chinese TV station to do any publicity on its own. Just the invitation to the opening ceremony is enough for the media to scramble for it.
In the end, only about 60 media outlets were able to enter the venue to shoot and interview. In order to get the best shooting position, domestic and foreign media outlets even spent a lot of money just to exchange positions with the media outlets that had occupied their positions first.
Not to be crazy.
In addition to the same incense burning and worship ceremony, all members had to bow and salute at the Heroes Monument.
To show respect and admiration for the martyrs.
All members and media were very well behaved, the venue was very quiet, and no one jumped out to cause trouble during this special time period.
They waited until both items were completed and moved to the conference hall before they began to ask questions to several directors.
In this situation where both domestic and foreign media were present, the domestic media's wording was very rigorous, and the questions had already been written in the company.
He will only appear on stage after he has memorized everything. After all, he cannot lose face for the Xia people in front of foreign media.
They can do whatever they want among their family members, but they are united when it comes to dealing with external affairs.
After the opening ceremony, domestic media received a list of participating actors.
The crew knew that all media would definitely be interested in this. In the presence of foreign media, in order to maintain their domestic image, they did not ask any messy questions. The crew was very generous and simply provided a shooting list. Hello, I'm fine, everyone!
The media who got the list looked down and saw that, yes, it was still the original formula and the original taste.
It was indeed good, and they were still the big names they expected.
Ok?
There seemed to be an unfamiliar name mixed into the list.
Xiao Han?
Dazzled?
I rubbed my eyes and found that the name was still there.
Xiao Han as Mr. Wang Chenshu
Ms. Wang Chenshu, although this role is not very important, people who know that period of history know that Wang Chenshu is the only woman in Zheng Xuesen's research team.
Is it really okay to let Xiao Han, a newcomer, play the role?
This question appears in more than one media outlet; basically every media outlet has this question.
When Xiao Han’s fans knew that their idol was going to play this role, they cheered.
For them, as long as they enter the middle stage, it is a manifestation of their idols' strength.
Suddenly, Han fans were caught in internal turmoil again.
Hanbao has already entered the middle stage, and as Han’s fans, they must not embarrass Hanbao!
In addition to this, why do others think Xiao Han was able to enter the middle office?
There are many people who are more famous than her, many people who are more beautiful than her, and many people who are more popular than her.
Moreover, what works does Xiao Han have?
There is one movie called "Fang Yue" in which he is not the lead actor yet, and another movie called "Case Solving Collection" which has not been released yet and he is not the lead actor either.
As an artist like this, can she really play such a role well?
In fact, it’s not that we are against her or don’t like her, but in the eyes of many people, Mr. Wang Chenshu’s contribution is huge and it is not a role that an ordinary artist can play.
They were afraid that they would not perform well and would tarnish Wang Chenshu's image.
Of course, the outside world’s speculations and turmoil have no impact on the “Great Cause” crew at all. They just do what they should do.
Because the day after the opening ceremony, they had already started all-round closed-door study and filming, and no media could see or hear any news.
"Card!"
"What are you doing? Serious, serious, what does it mean to be serious? It doesn't mean you have to stare with your eyes wide open and your nose up in the air. Do you think you are acting like a domineering CEO?"
"And you, you're playing a young leader, not a hegemon!"
“You’re trying to find the feeling.”
Director Zhang took a long puff of his cigarette, then threw it on the ground. His pair of leather shoes, which were covered in mud and looked dusty, stepped on the cigarette butt and brushed it away.
This is a meeting scene. In order to exaggerate the tense and serious atmosphere in the meeting, the director chose to shoot it with a long shot, so it required a lot of tacit understanding and control ability between the actors.
Everyone present was talented and they all thought there would be no problem, but unfortunately reality slapped them in the face.
The individual performances were all very good, but unfortunately he couldn't stop when it came to group performances.
Everyone's acting was chaotic, you didn't accept me and I didn't accept you either, and suddenly the situation was out of control and collapsed completely!
Ten minutes later, the filming started again, but Director Zhang's expression became more and more ugly, and finally he interrupted the filming and called for a stop.
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent, knowing that Director Zhang was in a bad mood.
No words were spoken.
"You are acting as revolutionary martyrs, not competing for splendor. What are you doing with all that nonsense?"
"Think carefully about the emotional tone of each character and do justice to the descendants of the heroes. Otherwise, how disappointed will they be?"
"Rest for 20 minutes, and then see your results in 20 minutes."
Director Zhang kicked the chair beside him in annoyance, strode out of the meeting room and slammed the door.
