Chapter 340: Fan Bingbing, a Maid
Fan Bingbing has played many leading female roles in recent years, such as "Wulin Waishi", "Water Moon Cave", "Pawnshop No. 8", etc. Although these are not as popular as Jin Yong's dramas, they are also popular dramas that have been repeatedly broadcast by many TV stations.
As for movies, Wu Yuchen asked Feng Xiaogang for the role of Wu Yue in "Cell Phone" last year. She is really suitable! After the movie was released, the public praised her for playing the role of the mistress well.
And this year's "New Police Story", Fan Bingbing's beautiful and rebellious female robber left a deeper impression than the real heroine, and also received a lot of praise.
Therefore, this makes Fan Bingbing more and more eager to achieve more results on the big screen.
Wu Yuchen gently twisted her towering breasts with his fingers, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? What's your idea?"
Fan Bingbing moved closer to Wu Yuchen to make it easier for him, and then said:
"Brother-in-law, TV dramas are just like that now. Unless I play a role of Xiaolongnu or Huang Rong, it won't be much of an improvement for me. I want to put more energy into movies~"
Wu Yuchen looked at Fan Bingbing thoughtfully and nodded: "Well, what movie do you want to act in?"
Fan Bingbing looked at Wu Yuchen thoughtfully and nodded: "Well, what movie do you want to act in?" Chen's chest was gently slid with slender fingers: "In addition to commercial productions, isn't it just art films that are going to win awards?"
Wu Yuchen laughed when he heard it: "You said it lightly. Commercial productions and good art film heroines, which female star in this circle doesn't want it?"
Fan Bingbing hugged Wu Yuchen's arm and rubbed it, and said coquettishly: "Don't you still have brother-in-law here! I am half of your brother-in-law~"
Wu Yuchen smiled and slapped Fan Bingbing's half butt, causing Fan Bingbing to snort.
But then Wu Yuchen shook his head: "It's not that brother-in-law won't help you, but for the time being, there are really no projects and roles suitable for you."
In the mainland, when it comes to commercial productions, the ones that can be counted are Wu Yuchen, Lao Mouzi, Chen Kaizi, and Feng Xiaogang. Who else can shoot commercial productions?
As for Hong Kong Island, to be honest, the positioning of the heroine in Hong Kong movies is not popular at all. The female robber played by Fan Bingbing and the mute girl played by Gao Yuanyuan in "Kung Fu" are both eye-catching.
In fact, Wu Yuchen knew that Cheng Long was already preparing for "Myth". The heroine Princess Yu Shu should be the most popular heroine in Hong Kong movies in recent years, but Wu Yuchen did not ask for it.
Fan Bingbing's female robber was not a big deal, just a small matter of sprinkling water, but the heroine of "Myth" is an important role.
In the previous life, the one who played Princess Yu Shu was Kim Hee Sun, who is now known as the most beautiful woman in South Korea. She also had intimate scenes with Cheng Long in the movie. And it is rumored that Brother Long personally taught her Chinese during the filming, and often talked all night long.
Look at the intimate appearance of Big Nose Long hugging Kim Hee Sun in various occasions, without any scruples, and kissed her directly during the promotional activities. With Brother Long's romantic nature, who would believe that he didn't do it?
Cheng Long clearly wanted to use this role to pick up girls. Even if Wu Yuchen could get this role, he would definitely owe Cheng Long a big favor. In the future, Cheng Long would inevitably put his drug-addicted son into his movies, but Wu Yuchen didn't want that, so he simply didn't consider this matter.
As for art films...
Wu Yuchen glanced at Fan Bingbing and asked, "How do you think your acting skills compare to your sister Qinqin?"
Fan Bingbing was about to say something, but Wu Yuchen patted him and said, "Tell the truth."
Fan Bingbing hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I can't compare to sister Qinqin..."
Fan Bingbing could also understand the subtext of Wu Yuchen's words. In the art films of domestic big directors, even Jiang Qinqin might not be able to get some roles now, let alone her acting skills.
Wu Yuchen thought for a while and said, "Bingbing, I'm not saying your acting is bad. You are definitely much better than ordinary people, but compared to a true genius... you know what I mean, right?"
Fan Bingbing cried and didn't say anything. Wu Yuchen advised, "If you want to be an acting star and win awards, it's much harder than others. Your appearance will reduce your points."
Wu Yuchen is not talking nonsense. In fact, it is almost the same all over the world. Many popular young actors and actresses, especially those with pretty faces, are naturally resisted by many judges. The Oscars are proof of this. If you don't make yourself ugly, don't even think about winning an Oscar. Look at how many times Leo fainted in the toilet!
Fan Bingbing cried, "Brother-in-law, what should I do?"
"People have to play to their strengths. You are so beautiful, so you should go for the commercial route. Don't waste your pretty face. If you really want to win awards for your acting skills, you have to choose roles that suit you, like Wu Yue."
Fan Bingbing said a little aggrievedly, "So I can only play the mistress?"
"If you can win awards for playing the mistress, will you play it?" Wu Yuchen asked directly.
"Play it!" Fan Bingbing did not hesitate at all.
In fact, with Wu Yue in "Cell Phone", she has won the Best Actress Award at the Hundred Flowers Awards this year. At that time, she was very happy. No matter if it was the company's operation or Wu Yuchen's help, she won the award anyway!
Wu Yuchen knew that Fan Bingbing still had a heart for artistic pursuits. In her previous life, "Apple", "Guanyin Mountain", "Rizhao Chongqing" and even the later "I Am Not Madame Bovary" all showed that she wanted to work hard to act well and win awards. But it can only be said that her talent is limited. Her acting cannot be said to be bad, but it is not at all eye-catching.
So, Wu Yuchen simply advised Fan Bingbing not to mess around in this regard, which would not help her career much.
Of course, Wu Yuchen himself was a little selfish, that is, he didn't want this girl to beg him to make a movie for her to win awards, otherwise Jiang Qinqin would have to see the clues.
"Brother-in-law, I listen to you. I also want to go into business, but I can't find any reliable projects now..." Fan Bingbing said pitifully.
She can't rely on Hong Kong Island, and she can't get involved in the commercial productions of other big directors. She only has Wu Yuchen to rely on, but it is obvious that Wu Yuchen's own film resources are also in short supply. Not to mention others, Jiang Qinqin is there, how can she grab it?
Now what is in front of Fan Bingbing is that she suddenly finds herself at a bottleneck and there is no way forward...
Wu Yuchen also sighed. There are still too few film projects in China every year! There are too few directors who can make commercial films!
In fact, it stands to reason that Wu Yuchen shot "My Brothers and Sisters", "My Sassy Girl" and "If Love Has Destiny" in succession in the past few years, which should have led to the development of some feature films. However, the domestic film market and funds in the past few years were not enough to support the development of those small directors.
In addition, Wu Yuchen won the Oscars for "Love" and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" and "Mr. Donkey" won the Berlin Golden Bear, which made many directors determined to make art films.
For film investors, the key is that movies like "Love" and "Mr. Donkey" have small investments! In the case of a sluggish domestic film market, investing in similar low-cost art films may win awards and sell copyrights at international film festivals.
But if it is a commercial feature film, first of all, do you want to find a star? The salary alone is not a small amount, and then you make it. The domestic market may make you lose all your money. This kind of commercial film cannot be exhibited at a film festival to sell copyrights. The risk of losing money is too great!
Therefore, it is not that investors do not want to invest in commercial films, but with the current box office capacity of the Chinese film market, they cannot afford this risk, and it is safer to invest in low-cost art films.
Therefore, the prosperity of commercial films must be closely related to the country's economy. After a few years, when the tickets are released, there will naturally be more commercial films.
However, Wu Yuchen glanced at Fan Bingbing. Waiting for a few years is easy, but for female stars, how many years are there? It is also very painful to not be able to move forward.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry about me. I know that I am destined to be a maid in my life. I am a maid for Sister Qinqin and a supporting role for Sister Yuanyuan. I can't compare with Sister Xiaoran, but I will definitely listen to you obediently. Who lets me be your intimate little cotton-padded jacket~" Fan Bingbing said sadly.
Fan Bingbing is the one who knows the relationship between Wu Yuchen and several women best. She knows who Wu Yuchen is from her relationship with him, and she can guess a lot of things. Moreover, Wu Yuchen didn't hide much from her, so there is no need.
Wu Yuchen couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this.
Thinking about the women Wu Yuchen has in China, Jiang Qinqin has acted in the most of his movies. From the initial "Car 44", then "The Night the Comet Comes", "If Love Has Destiny", "Embroidered Spring Knife" to the just finished "Departures". It can be said that she is the only favorite of Wu Yuchen!
Then there is Li Xiaoran. The movie "Run Lola Run" made her an internationally famous actress and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress. Later, she participated in Feng Xiaogang's "Endless" and "A World Without Thieves", and was also the heroine, and the treatment was not bad.
Zeng Li is leisurely and has never asked for anything. She has acted in TV dramas that interest her in the past two years, but she also won the Best Actress Award for "Qing Yi". And Wu Yuchen has plans for her and plans to use her as the heroine in the next Chinese-language movie.
As for Gao Yuanyuan, although she has not acted in Wu Yuchen's works so far, look at the resources Wu Yuchen has arranged for her along the way:
She debuted as the heroine of "Love Is Not Blind", became popular in one fell swoop, and was regarded as the nation's first love. She was the heroine of "The Mountain, the Man, the Dog", and became a literary film star. She was the heroine of "Young Justice Bao", Yue Lingshan in "Swordsman", and Zhou Zhiruo in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", all of which are very popular roles. There are also the heroines of "Waiting Alone" and "Kung Fu", which makes other female stars envious and cry!
In comparison, although Fan Bingbing has also acted in hit dramas, none of her TV dramas are as popular as Gao Yuanyuan's. She also played a supporting role for Gao Yuanyuan in "Young Justice Bao".
It was only in the recent year that the broadcast of the two movies "Cell Phone" and "New Police Story" made Fan Bingbing feel that she had caught up with Gao Yuanyuan. But compared with Gao Yuanyuan's accumulation, she is still a lot behind.
Wu Yuchen himself had to admit that he didn't care about Fan Bingbing as much as Gao Yuanyuan.
He looked at Fan Bingbing's pitiful appearance, smiled and shook his head, and slapped her buttocks again: "What are you saying in front of me?"
"I don't~" Fan Bingbing said in a delicate voice.
Wu Yuchen saw her like this and laughed: "Okay, I wanted to show you a way, but if you pretend again, I will..."
Fan Bingbing hurriedly kissed Wu Yuchen twice: "Good brother-in-law, dear brother-in-law, I want it! I won't pretend anymore!"
Wu Yuchen rested his head on his arms and didn't say anything, just smiling at Fan Bingbing. Fan Bingbing looked at Wu Yuchen's smile and also showed a seductive smile, then kissed Wu Yuchen's chin, neck, and continued down...
Wu Yuchen took a breath: "Girl, why are you so excited, be gentle~"
Fan Bingbing raised his head and showed Wu Yuchen a charming smile, and then continued.
After a while, Wu Yuchen closed his eyes and exhaled. When he opened his eyes, he saw Fan Bingbing holding his arm again: "Brother-in-law~"
Wu Yuchen smiled, and then said: "There are really no good resources in China that can be fought for you, but there are still foreign countries!"
Fan Bingbing opened his eyes wide when he heard it: "Brother-in-law, you mean..."
Wu Yuchen smiled faintly and said: "I can speak in Hollywood. I will get you a supporting actress so that you can gild yourself."
Fan Bingbing screamed when she heard the word Hollywood!
Hollywood, that's Hollywood!
How many people in China want to go to Hollywood but can't, she can go to Hollywood to act in movies now!
In this era when America is still a beacon country, being able to go to Hollywood to gild yourself is no less than starring in a domestic commercial movie, and your status immediately seems to have risen to a higher level!
However, Wu Yuchen still added: "But don't expect a big role, you are a newcomer after all."
Although Wu Yuchen has a lot of influence in Hollywood now, it is impossible for Fan Bingbing to be the heroine. Some people will give some face, but no one is willing to do this kind of favor that will make the project lose money. Therefore, Wu Yuchen must first remind Fan Bingbing so that she doesn't expect too much.
But this can't stop Fan Bingbing's explosive good mood: "Brother-in-law! I love you forever! I will always be your dear sister-in-law!"
Wu Yuchen looked at Fan Bingbing's crazy look and smiled. This girl is so flattering to him, which makes him feel very comfortable. He must give her some sweetness.
When he shoots the next Huayu movie, he can also consider giving her a supporting role.
Anyway, she said that she was destined to be a maid, so let her be a supporting role for Zeng Li again!
