I do whatever I want in the entertainment industry

Thanks to ZY's publicity, the first fashion show jointly held by Lu Lu and Yi Zhiren was scheduled smoothly and attracted the attention of various media and passers-by.

In order to better publicize this show, ZY set up a fashion show warm-up feature in the issue of the magazine before the show. In the feature, Bai Liang, Lu Lu, and Xu Yuan were interviewed. Collaborate to share your views.

The cover of that issue of the magazine was Bai Liang, because that week happened to be Halloween, Bai Liang made a pirate look, wearing an exaggerated hat and eye patch, and a red coat, matching his slightly pale face, in a pile of It is particularly eye-catching among all kinds of magazines.

Many fans snapped up that issue of the magazine just to collect Bai Liang's photos. ZY is a first-line magazine that can sell more than one million copies per issue. There were two prints and three prints, and it took half a month to sell before it stopped.

As the designer of the fashion show, Lu Lu thanked Yi Zhiren and ZY for their great support for her first fashion show. At the same time, she also said that the well-known film and television star Bai Liang, Dong Ya, and Yu Haoran would also attend the fashion show. I hope everyone will pay more attention to it. etc.

If someone was not interested in Lu Lu's fashion show at first, after hearing that Bai Liang, Dong Ya and Yu Haoran would also be present, they would pay more or less attention to it.

When Yu Haoran came back from the publicity run, he was suddenly told by Vice President Zhang that he would attend the fashion show jointly organized by Yizhiren and Lu Lu before Thanksgiving. Monk Zhang Er was also confused. He never thought that his career would involve catwalk models Circle, also not interested in being a model.He thought that Vice President Zhang wanted to broaden his development path for him, so he asked puzzledly: "Do you want to arrange for me to go to the catwalk?"

Vice President Zhang took time out of his busy schedule to answer him and said: "I don't want you to go to the catwalk, but I want you to go to the show to increase exposure and topicality. Isn't your new movie about to be released? Do more activities It doesn't do you any harm."

Yu Haoran murmured to himself in a low voice: "Why did it suddenly occur to me to go to a fashion show..."

Vice President Zhang listened to all directions, and she naturally heard Yu Haoran's murmurs, so she replied: "This is Boss Bai's arrangement, you just follow it, and he won't harm you. You should rest at home these few days. Adjust your state, I will ask the assistant to take you to choose clothes later, there will be a lot of media present on the day of the show, don't be embarrassing."

Seeing that she had already arranged his itinerary, Yu Haoran had no choice but to do it since she was his manager.

Bai Liang found a storybook from the old man. It is a modern work. The author has passed away. It is difficult for him to get the right to adapt the film and television. After discussing the adaptation and the copyright fee with the author's relatives, Bai Liang successfully handed over the script to the screenwriter under Ruili.

However, the subject matter of this storybook is relatively professional, and if only laymen are allowed to adapt it, it is inevitable that common sense mistakes will be made, which makes people laugh and generous. Bai Liang had no choice but to ask the teacher for help, and it took a lot of thought to invite a few old experts in this field Do guide.

There is no problem with the script, and the next step is to select the production team. Rayleigh is an old domestic film and television company. It has made a fortune in China very early. The earliest movies can even be traced back to the era of black and white quality. It is very important for Rayleigh to make a period film Technically there is no difficulty.

The difficulty lies in the casting of movies. Actors must meet the strict requirements of the film's subject matter. However, among the younger generation of actors in the entertainment industry, there are very few who meet this requirement. At least as far as Bai Liang knows, the more famous actors Does not have this quality.

Bai Liang made such a big move for a script, and many people in the circle got a little bit of wind. Thinking that the movies and TV series starring Bai Liang had made a lot of money, they all wanted to step in as soon as possible to get a share of the pie, so investors and sponsors heard about it. When the wind comes, Rayleigh throws an olive branch of cooperation.

Rayleigh was naturally happy that someone would send money, and if others were willing to invest in sponsorship, he would always come. It didn't mean that the pre-production preparations for the film were not yet complete, but the funds were already in place.

I heard that Bai Liang was worried about movie actors, and while Ruili was inviting investors from all walks of life to dinner, the big bosses who participated in the investment became more active, and all they thought about were those who were close to them. The ones or the stars they fostered are stuffed in, firstly, they can make their own popular with Bai Liang's movies, and secondly, they can please the little lover.

There shouldn't be too many people with this kind of thinking. Just think about it, a script that can make Bai Liang spend so much effort on it must be of great commercial value, and what kind of character is Bai Liang?In China, he is one of the best film and television stars, a walking money printing machine, the youngest Cannes best actor, and has won several awards for the best actor and best actor. He is the most charismatic superstar.In foreign countries, he is one of the few foreigners who won the best actor award in Cannes. He is the most popular new star in the film industry and the most promising martial arts star. He is famous. For this reason, the movies he starred in will definitely be popular and popular. .

The big bosses who have inquired about the movie roles from various sources all come to the banquet tonight with the same purpose. They have several candidates in their hands, and there are quite a few roles they fancy, even if they dare not act on the main characters. , but some small supporting roles are enough to appear on the stage, and they are not greedy.

Those big bosses also included Gan Jingjing's father. Gan Jingjing has been popular in the circle since the mediocre response of "Yu Hua" starring in the year before last. Although she has appeared in many TV dramas, none of them became popular.

As a father who dotes on his daughter, even if he disapproves of her being a rich lady who shows up in the entertainment industry all the time, he still can't bear to let his daughter down. In order to help his daughter get a small role in Bai Liang's movie, he can be said to spend a lot of money, Reluctantly invested 5000 million yuan in the film, accounting for almost one-fifth of the total funds, which is the largest investment share besides Rayleigh.

He originally wanted to go directly to Vice President Sun for the role he appointed, but Vice President Sun told him in a very embarrassing manner that this movie is entirely up to President Bai, and the casting is also up to President Bai, and he cannot go beyond that. If you want a role, you can only ask Mr. Bai for his opinion.

So Boss Gan came to the banquet with enough sincerity tonight, and he still brought a check with him. As long as Bai Liang agrees, he can invest more in public.

In order to please Bai Liang, all the bosses came on time, and some even came earlier. They all arrived soon, but only Ruili's boss and a few vice presidents greeted them, and Bai Liang didn't show up for a while. .

They didn't dare to complain about Bai Liang's being late, so they had to turn a corner and ask the boss what Bai was busy with, and whether he was involved with Yun Yun.

The boss quickly explained with a smile: "Boss Bai is still discussing the writing of the script with a few old gentlemen, and he probably won't come until later. Bosses may as well eat and drink first, and I will entertain you on behalf of Boss Bai."

The others hurriedly responded: "Hey, hey, don't be in a hurry, you're being serious, Mr. Bai is still busy with the script, so why don't we have the nerve to eat and drink first, let's wait for a while."

The boss poured tea for the bosses around him, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, we will drink tea and wait, come, come, I will fill it up for all the bosses."

Bai Liang was indeed delayed a little because of a setting in the script. By the time he arrived at the restaurant, it was already nightfall, and it was already very cold in City B in November. Feeling slowed down.

He walked into the box under the lead of the waiter. Some of the big bosses who were exchanging business inside saw him coming in first, and after shouting that Boss Bai had come, the rest of them stood up one after another to say hello to Bai Liang.

This scene may be a bit strange to those who don't know the inside story. A big boss who is over half a century old and has a well-dressed career is so polite to a young actor in his early teens. If the actor is Bai Liang, then it's no surprise.

Bai Liang took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, raised his hands to the crowd and apologized: "I'm sorry, I've been delayed for a while, I kept you bosses waiting for a long time."

How dare the people present dare to answer this, and quickly said: "It's nothing, Boss Bai devoted himself to the film, but we can only sit here and wait for nothing to help, we are ashamed."

Bai Liang walked to the middle of the wine table, Vice President Sun helped him pull out a chair for him to sit in, set up tableware for him, served him tea and water, and was very attentive.Bai Liang thanked Vice President Sun in a low voice, then raised his teacup and said to the others straightforwardly: "Mr. Bai is late today, and I will punish myself with three cups of tea instead of wine. I hope you don't mind."

Seeing that he is so forthright and not putting on airs, the bosses are all people who do big things and don't stick to small details. After a few hearty laughter, the dinner has entered a good mood.

Of course, the main purpose of today's dinner is not to eat and drink. After drinking for three rounds, we chatted about the preparations for this movie.

Boss Gan, as the most important investor, was the first to ask: "I heard that Boss Bai is still troubled by film casting. If you have any troubles, you might as well tell us. Although we are all laymen, the three stinky A cobbler is also worthy of Zhuge Liang, and it would be good for everyone to refer to it together."

Bai Liang took a sip of tea to get rid of the greasy meat and vegetables, and then said: "Alas, there are so many excellent actors in the entertainment industry, I shouldn't worry about casting, but the professional field involved in this movie is too deep , which made it difficult for me to find suitable actors, especially the leading role."

When the others heard that the leading role hadn't been decided yet, their eyes lit up, and they asked earnestly, "Is it a matter of the second male lead and the third female lead?"

Bai Liang sighed and said, "These are not the biggest problems. The one that bothers me the most now is the male lead, because the male lead has strict requirements for actors, and I can't choose right now."

As soon as these words came out, the bosses present were startled, and they asked in unison: "Aren't you going to play the male lead in this movie?"

Bai Liang sighed blankly, and replied: "I never considered acting in this movie, I'm in charge of directing."

The others were stunned by Bai Liang's speech and stuttered for a long time, not knowing what to say.

"Are you trying to direct a movie?"

Bai Liang smiled embarrassedly, with a sense of shyness in it, his face was a little rosy under the warm light of the box, and everyone present drank a lot of alcohol, and their minds were not clear. Seeing Bai Liang This smile actually made everyone's heart flutter.

I only heard Bai Liang say: "Because of this movie, the male lead and the second male lead have an ambiguous and ambiguous relationship. During the filming, eye contact and physical contact are unavoidable. I already belong to Shen Heng, and I can't bear to make him jealous, so from the beginning I didn’t intend to star in the beginning. And I’ve been an actor for seven years, so it’s time to break through myself and enjoy being a director.”

After hearing this, several investors present quickly turned their economic minds, analyzed whether there would be any difference in the benefits brought by Bai Liang as a director and as a starring role, and then made further plans.

They were also very conflicted. It stands to reason that they wanted Bai Liang to be the leading actor. After all, his fans were all looking for him. If he didn't appear in a film from the beginning to the end, it would definitely lose a lot of viewers.But this is the first movie he directed. According to the support of Bai Liang's fans for Bai Liang, it should not be difficult to see where the box office will go.But it was Bai Liang's first time as a director, so he definitely lacked in ability, and he couldn't be sure about the quality of the film.After much deliberation, they can only say that each has advantages and disadvantages, whether to fight or not to fight is a question.

Bai Liang saw that they had different ideas, so he was not in a hurry to persuade them. He picked up his chopsticks and ate his favorite ingredients in a dish like a normal person, looking like an old god.

Seeing that he was so confident, the big bosses wondered if he possessed some certain skills. They struggled for a long time, but finally, Boss Gan, who would risk everything for his daughter, slapped his thigh heroically, and said in a rough voice: "That's right!" Mr. Chong Bai's unwavering love for Mr. Shen, I think this movie will be a success!"

The other bosses expressed their opinion when they saw the one with the biggest head, thinking that even if the movie lost money, they would still have some backs, and they all expressed that the movie would definitely be popular and so on.

Bai Liang saw that their hype was getting more and more exaggerated. The movie hadn't even started filming yet, and they were already talking about how many millions of dollars in box office they would get. I'm still having a headache about casting."

Several bosses said boldly: "What kind of actor do you want, just tell us, we know someone, and we will definitely introduce you!"

Bai Liang also smiled and said: "I am grateful to Bai for the kindness of all the bosses. I will rely on you for the film work in the future."

"That's easy to say, as long as there is someone who can help Mr. Bai, feel free to tell us!"

When the dinner was over, the bosses of Ruili hooked up with the other bosses and sent them downstairs as a landlord, while Bai Liang and Vice President Sun were in the box to clean up the aftermath. Vice President Sun went to check out with the waiter, and Bai Liang When he came out of the bathroom, he found that there was another person waiting for him in the box.

Bai Liang dried his hands, and said in surprise: "Boss Gan, you haven't left yet? Did they leave you behind, or should I personally see you off?"

Boss Gan quickly waved his hand and said, "No problem, no problem, I left it on purpose."

Bai Liang raised his eyebrows calmly, and asked, "Hey, what does this mean?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Boss Gan took a step forward and whispered to Bai Liang, "Actually, Mr. Gan has an unfeeling request for coming here today, and I hope Mr. Bai can be accommodating."

Bai Liang was surprised: "What request, you say."

Boss Gan took out his pocket and said, "My little girl, Jingjing, has admired you for a long time and has always wanted to ask you about acting skills. It's just that I'm too shy to tell you, so I, as a father, can only do it for you. Sigh. , I also know what level my daughter is. I don’t ask you to give her a big role, just give her a few scenes to have fun. If there are too many, it will affect the quality of the movie. As a father, I only have this little request, and I hope Bai Forgive me in general, if you want, I can make additional investment."

Bai Liang blocked his hand from handing over the check, and said with a vague smile: "Boss Gan, don't be in a hurry to give Bai a check, please listen to Bai's words before making a decision."

Boss Gan hurriedly said, "Just tell me."

Bai Liang: "Boss Gan also knows that I want to be a director. This is my first film to direct. From the script to the production, I choose it by myself. I don't need to mention the hard work. It's just that I sincerely hope that this film will Being able to make a big splash has become a milestone in my career, so I can't tolerate any flaws in my eyes, and the requirements for actors must be harsh. I may curse or even beat people, and I will remove the actor in public if I disagree, I am afraid Your daughter, Jinzhiyuye, can't stand this grievance, so I'm not in a hurry to agree to you. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I'm not afraid of offending people, and I don't worry about running out of money. If your daughter joins my crew but can't do what I ask , even if you threaten me with divestment, I'm not afraid. If you think your daughter can obey the arrangement, I can let her join the group, otherwise, you'd better give up the idea. "

Boss Gan hesitated when he heard the words: "Is this... really so strict? Forgive Gan for being a layman, please give me some advice from Mr. Bai."

Bai Liang: "Meals and breaks are not on time, most of the time is windy meals and sleeping in the open, there will be leftovers and cold burns, it is cold to wear single clothes, and it is common to repeat dozens or even hundreds of times for a movement and a look, not standing It’s enough to perfunctory in front of the camera. If you are willing to let your daughter suffer these hardships, you can go back and tell her first, let her make her own decision, join the group if it’s okay, and retreat if it’s not.”

Boss Gan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go back and tell her, if she can't accept it, then it's her fate that she shouldn't be an actress. If she insists on acting, I'll tell her to treat her well."

As he spoke, he handed the check to Bai Liang, and said, "To thank Boss Bai for giving my daughter this opportunity, no matter if it succeeds or not, this check is a little bit of my kindness, so please accept it."

Bai Liang returned the check, and said with a slight smile: "No, it's not easy for Boss Gan to make money, so I'd better take it back, and let's take care of it later."

Boss Gan saw that Bai Liang was unwilling to accept him, so he had no choice but to give up, thanked him a thousand times, and left.

Bai Liang looked at Boss Gan, who already had gray hair on his head, and sighed for a long time: "Poor parents in the world."
