Chapter 1093 The divorced actress returns with a bang 16
Sun Hao used a lot of connections to get Gu Xi an interview opportunity.
Gu Xi said dissatisfiedly: "Do I need to interview before I can act in his movie?"
Sun Haocheng comforted him, "Director Ning has this temper. If he doesn't agree, it won't help no matter how much money you give him."
Gu Xi: "Humph, you're quite arrogant."
Gu Xi thought she was just going through the motions, but when she met the person, the other party treated her coldly. He was not even particularly enthusiastic about Sun Haocheng. It was as if he was just looking at the two staff members calmly.
"Hello, Director Ning..."
Gu Xi wanted to go up and say a few words, but Director Ning said directly: "Introduce yourself, and then look at these scenes. You can choose three to perform."
Gu Xi: "Uh, okay."
Gu Xi had no choice but to quickly look through the few pages of the script that were handed to her. Before she could figure out how to act, Director Ning urged, "Are you ready? You can start now."
Gu Xi: “…”
Gu Xi was forced to do the role and didn't even remember much of the content, so how could he possibly act well?
Her acting skills were not good to begin with, and she was not familiar with the script and had no preparation at all, so naturally her acting was terrible.
Director Ning frowned, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Gu Xi's performance, and even a little angry. With such acting skills, she had the nerve to ask him for a role.
He is not her teacher or father, and he has to spend time to train her.
Director Ning left immediately, leaving only his assistant to talk to Sun Haocheng and Gu Xi.
Gu Xi looked at the director with a puzzled look on her face as he left. She asked nervously, "Why, how was my performance just now?"
Sun Haocheng: "It's great that you can perform like this in such a short time."
Gu Xi: "But why did the director leave?"
Sun Haocheng also looked at the assistant beside him. Director Sun's assistant Xiao Zhang said politely at this time: "Director Ning has something to do, so he won't be back. He asked me to tell you that his movie currently does not have a role suitable for Miss Gu Xi. Sorry."
Sun Haocheng's face turned pale, and Gu Xi looked deeply shocked.
She thought that with Sun Haocheng's involvement, the matter would be 100% settled, but she didn't expect the other party to be so disrespectful.
The two returned empty-handed, and Sun Haocheng comforted them: "He doesn't want you to make a movie, so I'll invest in one for you. We'll also invite big directors and big stars to act in it. Don't be angry, I'll make him regret not using you today."
Gu Xi: "You are the only one who treats me the best. What would I do without you?"
Sun Haocheng: "Don't worry, I will always stand behind you and support you."
Gu Xi was quickly coaxed by Sun Haocheng and was smiling happily again.
Sun Haocheng really did what he said and immediately arranged for a big IP, a big production, a big director, and big-name actors.
All elements that can highlight the quality of this film were arranged, in an effort to make Director Ning understand what he would lose by not choosing Gu Xi.
Here, we have started to work intensively on creating a super blockbuster production tailored for Gu Xi.
Although Su Yan signed the contract, Director Ning is notoriously slow.
The title of his movie hasn't even been decided yet, and only the female lead has been cast, while the selection of the male lead has not started yet.
It will take at least half a year to film this movie.
So after Su Yan communicated with Director Ning, he decided to take on a TV series first.
It just so happened that there were several TV series here that were selecting female leads, and the scripts were also handed to Su Yan.
Among these scripts, Su Yan chose an ancient martial arts drama in which the heroine knows martial arts.
Now that she knows martial arts, this is her advantage. She should develop it and leave a deep impression on others instead of rushing to try other types and prove that she can play anything.
Su Yan joined the crew again in a low-key manner. Gu Xi attended commercial activities everywhere during this period. Not only did she not hire an acting teacher to teach her how to act, but she was eager to increase her exposure and frequently showed her face, as if she wanted people to remember her name.
Half a year later, Su Yan finished filming another play.
Director Ning’s film is almost ready for production and it’s time to start shooting.
Sun Haocheng has completed the movie script tailored for Gu Xi, and has also invited all the actors. When he heard that Director Ning's play was going to hold a press conference, Sun Haocheng deliberately held a press conference on the same day.
Sun Haocheng's launch conference was attended by many big names, and reporters were more willing to go to his conference just for these big stars.
However, Director Ning has been working on his new film for three years and it is finally ready to start shooting. This is also very newsworthy, so naturally a group of reporters rushed to the scene.
Director Ning’s films have always been well kept confidential. Those reporters who rushed there still don’t know who the male and female protagonists of this film are.
Not only is everyone curious, Gu Xi is also secretly following the developments of Director Ning's play.
When the launch conference was announced to begin, under the leadership of Director Ning, Shi Yu, Su Yan, Li Jiayi and Li Junfeng walked onto the stage one by one.
The reporters kept taking pictures with their cameras. This lineup was definitely not inferior to the crew of "The Monkey King" next door.
The Monkey King crew is the same crew that Gu Xi is in. Sun Haocheng bought the copyright of Monkey King at a sky-high price for Gu Xi, invited top domestic stars to star in it, and also invited Director Xu, an international director of the same level as Director Ning, to shoot this drama.
It can be said that the drama is full of excitement. However, when everyone saw that the heroine was Gu Xi, they always felt that the scene was a bit familiar.
Brother Hua, who was sitting in front of the TV and paying attention to the launch conference, saw the launch conference of "The Monkey King" and saw his good brother starring in this drama. He smiled and sent a WeChat message to the other party.
"Xiao Fa Cai, why did you go to film The Monkey King? Let me remind you, it's better to postpone this film. It may become a dark history of yours in the future."
When Fa Cai Ge, who was sitting on the stage, saw this WeChat message, he thought his good brother was teasing him on purpose, so he lowered his head and replied: "You are just saying the grapes are sour. This drama has a good script, a high investment, and a strong cast. Why should I regret it?"
Brother Hua: "Anyway, I have advised you. If you don't listen, forget it. The TV series I filmed a while ago was criticized so much. You must have paid attention to it."
Brother Fa Cai: "Well, I really didn't pay attention to you. I finally came out from the deep mountains and old forests to film a movie. How could I have the time to pay attention to you?"
Brother Hua: "Anyway, you take care of yourself."
Brother Fa Cai was sitting on the stage when he suddenly had a bad feeling. After he got off the stage, he quickly asked his assistant to search for information about what happened to Brother Hua recently, with a focus on the TV series he had filmed some time ago.
After a while, the assistant came to report the search results to him.
Brother Fa Cai: “What’s the matter?”
The assistant said a little embarrassedly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the heroine of this drama is the same person as the heroine of Hua Ge's drama. Her acting skills are so bad that netizens can't stand it. She doesn't have much audience appeal. And this is a TV series invested in by her boyfriend. Most of the scenes of others were deleted and modified to highlight her personal highlights, which makes no sense..."
Before the assistant finished speaking, Brother Fa Cai's face turned green.
It seems too late to terminate the contract now, as he has received sky-high film remuneration from others.
I just hope this actress’ acting skills can improve.
Brother Fa Cai didn't know that his mentality of relying on luck almost ruined his reputation in his later years.
On the other hand, several actors selected by Director Ning are well-known in the circle for their good acting skills, popularity, and status as big stars.
Among them, Su Yan's appearance was the most unexpected.
Because she has just become popular again, and she has got such good resources and can star in Director Ning's play?
Originally, the reporters thought that Su Yan was just playing a supporting actress, but when the director introduced her, they found out that Su Yan was actually the heroine of the play. Not just a supporting actress, but the absolute core. The story of the play revolves around the character she plays.
When Gu Xi saw Director Ning say in the video that Su Yan was the heroine he personally selected, she was so angry that she almost threw her phone.
Why was it Su Yan? Why was it her? How did she get the leading role in Director Ning's play?
Gu Xi would never believe that Su Yan relied on his acting skills and understanding of the story.
In her opinion, Su Yan must have made some kind of deal with Director Ning, or she had found some powerful backer.
Otherwise, given her looks and her acting skills, she is definitely not irreplaceable, so why did Director Ning choose her?
The reason why Gu Xi had conspiracy theories was that he could not accept the fact that Director Ning’s final choice was Su Yan.
She and Sun Haocheng invested money and used connections, but in the end they didn't even get a supporting role. How could Su Yan get the leading female role so easily?
