Chapter 218 Just Change It (24)

"Gong Li? Will she pick it up?"

"...I'll call her and ask her to come over and talk in person!"

These words made a few people feel a little off guard...

You made a phone call and she came over?

She is Gong Li!

Who are you?

Amou?

Several people had different expressions. Zhang Guoli was stunned for a long time: "You make a call..."

Shen Xudong had already taken out his mobile phone and made a call. He said enthusiastically that director Feng Xiaogang had a good script in his hand, but it lacked a heroine who could act...

Gong Li was immediately interested: "Is the script good?"

Shen Xudong said: "It's very good, the lineup is also very strong, Uncle Ge plays the second male lead..."

"I'll be right away...How about you come pick me up?"

"Okay, I'm driving the car!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xudong said: "Sister Gong Li asked me to pick her up... Her hotel is not very far from here. If there is no traffic jam, the round trip can take up to an hour..."

Feng Xiaogang swallowed: "...Okay, okay, you go pick it up..."

Xu Fan also said: "...drive slowly..."

"Don't worry, I'm an experienced driver!"

Shen Xudong walked out of the box with a confident look on his face...

Zhang Guoli glanced at Feng Xiaogang, who happened to be looking at him too. The two old men thought of a certain possibility at the same time, but gave up...

Impossible, how could Gong Li have an affair with Shen Xudong?

This idea is too dirty.

Shen Xudong's face is full of sunshine and he only thinks about his career...

Well, that must be the case!

As for Xu Fan and Deng Jie, they have already begun to congratulate Feng Xiaogang...

Shooting Gong Li means that Feng Xiaogang has reached a higher level...

After all, she is the number one female star in mainland China...

What is a great director?

A big star can be photographed...

So Shen Xudong is also a great director?

Maybe not, after all, applause and making a movie are two different concepts. Even if there is a video record, it cannot be considered a movie, let alone not yet!

…

After Gong Li heard the general plot of "A World Without Thieves", he felt a little reluctant to take it...

"What's wrong?"

"Is this a purely commercial film?"

"What happened to commercial films? Nowadays, movies are marketized. What is marketization? Box office is king! Commercial films are the mainstream!"

"...Mainstream? No wonder "Hero" has a box office of 250 million!"

"So, the little poet-reciting master is also going to make a blockbuster film..."

"Is "A World Without Thieves" a blockbuster movie?"

"Not really. Although the starring cast is all big stars, the scene is not big enough..."

Gong Li nodded, and then asked: "...how did you think I could act?"

Shen Xudong said matter-of-factly: "Of course I want to think about you... As soon as I come into contact with the script, my first thought is whether you can play the role, and then I will consider whether it is suitable based on your status... The director of "A World Without Thieves" is Feng Xiaogang, starring Andy Lau + Ge You, no matter the behind-the-scenes lineup or the main creative actors, you will not lose your place if you accept it..."

Gong Li smiled: "You've thought it over so comprehensively. I feel like you know more than my agent!"

"The division of labor is different. Your manager is in charge of your career, but I don't care about your career..."

"Then what do you care about?"

"...come closer!"

Gong Li rolled his eyes at him, but leaned his head over. Shen Xudong whispered something that couldn't be written...

Involving poses, role-playing, etc...

"...What a beautiful thought! Who do you think I am?"

"Try it, it's very interesting!"

"...Who have you tried it with?"

"No…"

"Then how dare you say such things to me?"

Shen Xudong didn't say anything and just drove. Gong Li regretted it a little and felt that he had spoken too harshly. He was about to say something when Shen Xudong stopped the car, unbuckled his seat belt and motioned for her to get out of the car. Gong Li didn't know why, so he followed...

"Come to the back!"

"…do what?"

"Just come!"

What can be done?

Shen Xudong directly proved his courage with actions...

…

About an hour and a half later, Shen Xudong led Gong Li to the box...

It was a great conversation, Liu Ruoying or Gong Li, any fool knows who to choose!

What? Is Gongli too expensive?

How expensive can it be?

Isn’t it possible to attract investment?

What kind of international joke are you kidding?

Let's put it this way, when a script is completed and is intended to be put into production, the management will pay based on the director's status and the actors and casts.

For example, "A World Without Thieves", starring Andy Lau + Ge You, 30 million yuan is a reasonable investment.

If you add Gong Li, 50 million or even 60 million is possible!

It's not that Gong Li's salary is worth 20 million or 30 million, but it's the joint effect of personal value.

The three leading actors are all A-list stars, and investors are willing to give money.

Feng Xiaogang even called Huang Zhongjun on the spot and told him that the heroine had been replaced by Gong Li...

Of course Huang Zhongjun has no objection - investing in such a large production can show Huayi's ambition and strength!

The only ones who have opinions about the whole thing are probably Liu Ruoying and Chen Guofu...

But... so what?

Just change it. What's wrong? I need to explain it to you?

Feng Xiaogang was so happy that he even took the initiative to suggest that Gong Li should also star in the heroine of "Party A and Party B 2"...

Gong Li was also very happy: "As long as the script is good!"

"The script was written by Xudong!"

Gong Li quickly looked at Shen Xudong, who frowned: "...It's not suitable. The heroine in that drama has too few roles, and she doesn't shine very well. Sister Gong Li is a big star, so she is a bit overqualified for that role..."

When a big star takes on a role, there are certain requirements for character and play.

The entire drama of "Party A and Party B 2", also known as "A Day Trip to Dreams", revolves around the male perspective. It would be such a waste if Gong Li acted...

Gong Li didn't take it seriously: "Tell me about the script!"

Shen Xudong briefly talked about it, and after Gong Li listened, he asked him: "Is this also about love?"

"...So be it!"

"How could you write such a script at such a young age?"

"The market needs it..."

Zhang Guoli interjected: "The market needs it?"

Shen Xudong explained: "Joining the WTO means that the market will soon be opened. How can we compete with Hollywood? Special effects and high-concept blockbusters will definitely not be able to compete. We can only find other ways, such as costume blockbusters or local comedies... Romance movies are allowed to be used everywhere. It’s all valid, and it’s also a theme point for us to work hard on…”

Zhang Guoli sighed: "...You, an opera student, think about this every day?"

"It's not every day, I just thought of it..."

"...I will act in this movie too. There are no good scripts for me anyway...just treat me as a junior who supports me!"

A junior is a junior, why do you say junior?

Feng Xiaogang was overjoyed - this meant that he would not be paid to make a guest appearance...

He quickly complimented: "You are making a contribution to Chinese movies!"

"...No, I just like this script..."

Shen Xudong thought of the "Perfect Strangers" mentioned before and suggested: "By the way, Director Feng, I think Sister Gong Li is quite suitable for the heroine of "Mobile Phone 2"..."

"Is that what you just said?"

"Um…"

Feng Xiaogang thought about it and found that it was indeed suitable...

Gong Li asked: ""Mobile Phone 2"?"

"...Oh, that's it. I read "Mobile Phone" and it reminded me of a book... Its concept is a game. When everyone takes out their mobile phones during a dinner party, if they receive text messages or calls, they must be disclosed..."
