Chapter 98 Li Mi's Conjecture
When I heard Mr. Zhou’s words, I recalled the present time. A movie that was well-received and criticized in later generations appeared in Liu La’s memory.
"Li Mi's Conjecture" is a masterpiece of reputation, a movie that can really make viewers who have watched it cry and half of them cry.
The film was filmed very quickly and took only more than a month.
The box office of this movie is not high, only more than 10 million.
However, this movie that seemed to have average results won the awards of best films in many popular awards such as the College Student Film Festival, the Film Critics Association, and the Iron Solid Film Festival. It also made Mr. Zhou win many reputations such as Golden Rooster Film Festival, the Asian Film Festival Best Actress, and the College Student's Favorite Actress.
This movie made many viewers on the big screen recognize Deng Chao, a star who had only been active on the small screen for the first time. It made Wang Baoqiang, a "silly root" who had no acting skills and only luck in the eyes of many people, proved his innate talent. It also made Zhang Hanyu, Feng Xiaogang's personal supporting role, show his unique charm for the first time.
The magic of this film not only comes from the actors' hard-working performances, but also from the director's unique writing and shooting skills.
Cao Baoping, a film director and school teacher who is still unknown, knows that in a few years, he will become famous for his own self-written and directed "The Heart of the Scarlet Sun", and at the same time he will bring countless honors into his arms.
Regarding Cao Baoping's shooting skills, Mr. Zhou once summarized this in later generations: "When the director made a movie, he was actually drawing a circle, not a straight line. Everything from the beginning to the end has a reason, and finally it was synthesized into a circle."
From this sentence, you can probably understand the director's method of telling stories.
In fact, this drama is a film from the perspective of a woman. It can be said that from beginning to end, the rhythm of the entire movie is carried out with the activities of the heroine Li Mi.
Whether the heroine's performance is superb determines the quality of the whole drama. In short, Mr. Zhou is one of the few actresses in the circle who are capable of taking the lead. The only problem in her performance is that she is prone to over-force, which is somewhat like Leonardo in Hollywood, but in the end, the flaws are not concealed.
This video was produced by Huayi. As Huayi's current number one sister, Mr. Zhou wanted to put a role for Liu La, but it was actually just a matter of one sentence.
However, even if this sentence is said, many actors have been unable to wait for more than ten years. So, although Mr. Zhou did not promise to play a specific role, and only said that everything would be followed by the director's arrangements, Liu La was already very satisfied.
Of course, Mr. Zhou is an adult after all, and she still understands the truth that she doesn't say enough. When she talked to Liu La about this, she didn't say too much. She just said that there was such a chance that she would talk to the company and the director to help him fight for it, but she was not sure whether it would be successful.
Liu La's mentality is quite calm about this. The old saying goes well and I am lucky if I get it, but I am lucky if I lose it.
...
After the two parted, Liu La returned to his master's villa. Not long after entering the house, he received a call from Mr. Zhou.
After the phone was connected, Mr. Zhou's voice came: "Xiao Liu, I have already agreed with him that you can go to Huayi Company to find director Cao Baoping at 10 o'clock tomorrow. After you meet, let's talk about the role by yourself, and I won't get involved."
Liu La naturally agreed: "Okay, I understand Miss Zhou, please trouble you, thank you."
"It's okay, it should be." Mr. Zhou smiled.
After that, the two of them chatted for a few more casual words and hung up the phone.
I had nothing to say all night. The next morning, after Liu La got up, she washed and dressed up briefly, and drove to Huayi Company alone.
Huayi in this world is not much different from the previous world. The boss is still the brother of the Wang family. The collective "defection" incident that shocked the stars inside and outside the circle is still inevitable.
Chen Daoming, Xia Yu, Hu Jun, Zhou Yun, Michelle Yeung, Guan Zhilin, Carina Lau, Ng Junru, Anita Yuan, Fan Bingbing, Tong Dawei, Ren Quan, Li Xiaolu, and other big-name stars' collective job-changing and contract termination have almost put Huayi on the verge of collapse. In short, it is the most turbulent time for Huayi's senior management.
However, Huayi is a large company with background. Although the company has undergone such huge changes, its operations in all aspects are still the same. The employees do not seem to feel anxious and still work as focused as before.
The confidence of the employees comes from the great gods in the company. As long as the Wang brothers are still there, as long as Feng Xiaogang and Mr. Ge continue to shoot New Year's films, as long as Mr. Zhou and Li Bing are still fighting for the status of the No. 1 sister, Huayi employees will never worry about being unemployed. This is the so-called foundation of a company.
The car stopped on the side of the road. As soon as Liu La walked into the gate of Huayi Company, he was stopped. The one who stopped him was the front desk of the company, a very gentle girl.
"Hello, is there anything you have?" the girl asked Liu La politely.
Liu La hurriedly replied: "Hello, I'm here for the interview. Director Cao Baoping made an appointment and told me to come to him at 10 o'clock."
Liula, the big and small, is now a corner. In order not to be recognized and affected by life, he has already developed the habit of wearing hats, masks, and scarves when he goes out. At this moment, he took off the equipment on his body. After all, there is heating in Huayi's building, and with these wool things, it's really a waste of time.
However, what Liu La did not expect was that the girl recognized him as soon as he took off the mask.
"Ah! Are you Liu La? Master Liu, I like you very much. I am your fan. I like watching your acting in "Days Related to Youth". I have watched it back and forth several times!" The girl said happily to Liu La.
However, the employees of the entertainment company have seen the world. Although the girl was very excited, she did not ask for photos or something. Instead, she asked Liu La: "Shao Liu, you are here to test the show, right? Are you going to act in a movie? That's great. When it's released, I will buy ten tickets to support you."
The fans were so enthusiastic that Liu La was a little embarrassed. He waved his hand quickly: "Low-key, low-key, something that has not been confirmed yet, so don't go out to show off. By the way, where is Director Cao's office?"
"Don't worry, I understand, keep it secret!" The girl blinked at Liu La, and then said: "Director Cao has no office. Except when filming, he usually stays at school and doesn't come. You go to the big office on the innermost floor to find him, he is now interviewing there."
"Yes, I understand, thank you." After thanking the fans, Liu La walked upstairs. While walking, he muttered in his heart: "Where is Director Cao'er interviewing? What does it mean? Is this drama so popular? It's true that he has to compete with others as a guest star, and Mr. Zhou also said this on the phone..."
