Chapter 462
The first audition for "About Time" began, and Wei Jin specially went to the 8th floor to take a look.
The door of the conference room was tightly closed, but there were already quite a few people in the corridor.
"These are all screened by Director Guo. Some familiar actors don't need to go through this link..."
Listening to the introduction of the casting director, Wei Jin nodded. There were too many resumes submitted, and some could not be screened from the appearance alone, so they could only use this method.
In addition, there was another reason. Among this batch of people who came to audition, most were not very famous. It seems that Guo Fan still likes to use cheap ones.
It's no wonder that the production cost of this play is only 30 million, and the current remuneration is getting higher and higher. Even the actors within the company have to charge according to their status!
At this time, quite a few actors noticed Wei Jin and became more nervous. There were also some bold ones who stood up to say hello.
It was just that Wei Jin didn't expect that he had just watched "iPartment 3" a few days ago, and now the whole crew was almost here, Deng Jia Jia, Wang Chuanjun, Sun Yizhou, Li Jiahang, Hu Yifei... "What's the situation with you guys? Are you coming as a group?"
Perhaps because she had appeared in Golden Harvest's movie "Silent Witness", facing Wei Jin's inquiry, Deng Jia Jia was obviously more active and appeared generous.
"Director Wei, Zhanbo came to audition last year and said Director Guo is quite good, so we all came to try..."
"Then why didn't I see Wanyu?"
Hearing Wei Jin's teasing, Deng Jia Jia smiled. "Director Wei, Wanyu went abroad to study..."
After speaking, she blinked at Wei Jin, which made the latter unable to help but laugh.
"Hahaha"
After saying hello to everyone, Wei Jin entered the conference room.
At this moment, there were only Guo Fan and an assistant in the conference room, but the audition actor surprised him. It was actually Re Yizha from Beijing Film Academy? This girl was from the 2004 vocational class of Beijing Film Academy, and Wei Jin had met her when he was at school.
But her development after graduation was not satisfactory. It wasn't until "Empresses in the Palace" that the casting director gave her a chance, and she barely made a little fame.
A few minutes later, this audition ended, and Re Yizha bowed and retreated.
"Which role is she auditioning for?"
"Female lead and supporting role."
"What do you think?"
"Looking at it now, the performance is quite good, at least compared to other actors in the school, it is much stronger..."
Wei Jin also agreed with this point of view, so it is true that the wild road is more powerful than the regular class. Huang Bai is also a vocational class, and his acting skills are hanging and beating those admitted to the undergraduate course.
"But to be honest, her appearance is not very suitable..."
"Hmm, typical Kazakh, at least the female lead is definitely not very suitable, but let's give a supporting role depending on the situation. Didn't you say the school talked to you? Hahaha..."
"Let's take a look first, next one."
On the last Saturday of August, "Dearest" ushered in the opening press conference.
In order to increase the attention of the movie, the specifications of this opening press conference were very high.
The four major producers, Shanhe Media, Shanghai Film Group, Emperor Group, and Guangxian, all arrived, and even Han Sanping from China Film Group came to join in the fun.
Although this movie didn't have China Film Group's share, not to mention the relationship with several major producers, just the gimmick of a semi-public welfare movie was worth him coming to show support.
After all, these were all political achievements that could make the news.
Taking advantage of the fact that the press conference hadn't started yet, Han Sanping pulled Wei Jin aside for a private chat.
"Wei Jin, has the time in North America been set?"
"Hmm, on the 1st of next month, I will go there after attending the opening ceremony of Venice. Let's meet in North America then."
Han Sanping nodded, seemingly thinking of something, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Alright, if you need any help in Venice, just contact Li Gang. China Film Group will provide all convenience. After all, our film can be considered as winning glory for the country, haha..."
Wei Jin was a bit speechless. Han Sanping's Ah Q spirit was really okay. "Gravity" was just an opening film.
But come to think of it, in Venice this year, Chinese films were really miserable. There wasn't even one shortlisted for the main competition section, and Peter Chan, a member of the jury, looked very awkward.
But mentioning "Gravity", Wei Jin thought of one thing.
"Chairman Han, which film did the General Administration decide to send to the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film this year?"
"Not yet, but 'Back to 1942' and 'White Deer Plain' have been listed as candidates. Why? Do you have any ideas?"
Han Sanping's tone was a bit surprised, because almost none of the movies produced by Shanhe Media this year met the conditions. Perhaps Zhang Yimou's could count as one, but the time should be too late.
But soon, Han Sanping reacted.
"Are you planning to let 'Gravity' sign up?"
Wei Jin smiled. "I do have this intention..."
"Is this sci-fi movie sure?"
Han Sanping's worry was not unreasonable. Looking back at the Oscars over the years, sci-fi themes were not very popular.
"Chairman Han, you have also seen the finished film. I dare not say that I am sure about the Best Foreign Language Film, but at least in technical awards, the advantage is very great..."
"Hmm, that's true."
Han Sanping nodded. What the leaders above wanted were awards. As for whether it was the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, it didn't matter, so he immediately stated his position.
"How about this, I will communicate with the leaders as soon as possible, and you should also move around more."
"Alright."
After the two chatted for a while, the press conference officially began.
When the four major producers and a group of creators took the stage, the media off the stage couldn't help but exclaim, because this was the first time the cast of the "Dearest" project was announced to the public.
"My God, what kind of fairy cast is this? Are they crazy?"
"Everyone says 'American Dreams in China' has a strong cast, but compared to this, it's a small witch seeing a big witch."
"All acting schools, it's so worth looking forward to..."
"This public welfare movie, I'm afraid it will kill when it's released..."
It's no wonder the media exclaimed, even the other three major producers were shocked by Wei Jin's handwriting.
Male lead: Golden Horse Best Actor Huang Bo;
Female lead: Three Gold Best Actress Zhou Xun;
Male second lead: 1.5 billion box office actor Zhang Yi;
Female second lead: Cannes Best Actress, Oscar nominated Best Actress, Golden Horse Best Actress Zeng Li; Male third lead: 300 million box office male lead, newly promoted quasi-first-line actor Zhang Songwen; Female third lead: first-line little flower Zhang Li;
Even the roles that played soy sauce were all well-known actors in the industry, which could be called amazing.
This was also what Wei Jin wanted. He had been holding back the cast and not announcing it, just waiting for a big one. Now it seems the effect is very good.
At least, "Dearest" was popular before it was filmed!
As expected, after the press conference, the relevant reports of the media immediately occupied the news headlines. "The realistic film directed by Golden Rooster Best Director Cao Baoping, 'Dearest', held an opening press conference in Beijing today. The scene was full of stars and big names gathered..."
"'Dearest' cast announced for the first time, three major Best Actors and Actresses and many star big names gathered, worth looking forward to!"
There was also a lot of discussion on the Internet, and everyone was looking forward to the movie.
Wei Jin didn't stay too long at the scene. After the press conference, he went to Liu Yifei's place. Today happened to be the little girl's birthday.
Just as he arrived, he found the little girl rummaging through boxes and cabinets at home with her cat.
"Yifei, what are you doing?"
"Brother, it's the Bazaar party in a few days. I'm looking for a suitable auction item..."
Liu Yifei stopped and gave Wei Jin a sweet smile.
"Is this Bazaar really picking your wool?"
Wei Jin pulled the girl into his arms and reached out to scrape her nose. After rummaging through boxes and cabinets just now, there were still some fine sweat beads on her face, and a natural blush appeared on her fair and pretty face, making people can't help but want to kiss her.
"Brother, don't say that. Anyway, it's doing good deeds..."
Looking at the girl's serious appearance, Wei Jin pinched her pretty face dotingly.
The little girl was indeed beautiful and kind. She had almost never missed the charity night over the years, and she had also participated in many charity activities. If she really made a donation ranking, she would probably be at the forefront of celebrities.
Compared to the rich flower who was rich and powerful, she was not inferior.
"Then why don't you learn from Director Feng and draw one yourself?"
Wei Jin joked with a smile. For the past two days, the Internet has been reporting that Feng Dapao painted an oil painting himself, intending to auction it at this Bazaar 10th anniversary charity dinner.
For this operation, Wei Jin was also a bit speechless.
"I don't have that ability. Brother, please help me think about it~~ What is good to take out, preferably commemorative but not so expensive."
The little girl sat on Wei Jin, holding his arm and shaking it. The latter reached out to smooth the girl's hair on both sides of her temples and kissed her red lips lightly.
"Hmm... Is the manuscript script of 'Those Years' still there?"
"Ah! Why didn't I think of it? It's still there. This is good. This is your first commercial movie."
Liu Yifei's eyes lit up, and she quickly left Wei Jin, came to the bookshelf, and took out the bound script manuscript from an iron box.
He saw that the paper of this script had turned a bit yellow. After all, it had been almost 8 years.
Wei Jin noticed that there were many behind-the-scenes photos of the crew inside.
"Hehe, Yifei, did you have bad intentions toward me back then?"
As if her mind had been broken, the blush on Liu Yifei's pretty face spread rapidly.
"That's not it. How old was I back then?"
"Small person with big ghost, haha..."
After playing and making trouble for a while, Liu Xiaoli's voice came from downstairs, and dinner began. Perhaps it was a habit developed since childhood, Liu Yifei's birthday had always been very simple, just a family gathering for a meal, and even friends were not invited.
For today's dinner, Liu Xiaoli made Wei Jin's favorite Sichuan cuisine as usual.
After a delicious dinner, Wei Jin accompanied Liu Yifei to blow out the candles and presented the gift he had prepared - a bracelet.
The style was slightly different from Jing Tian's, but it looked equally good on Liu Yifei's hand.
He thought the ceremony ended here, but he didn't expect Liu Xiaoli to speak.
"Wei Jin, look, you and Xixi are not young anymore..."
When Wei Jin heard this, he felt a bit of a headache. He didn't expect that after dealing with Da Meiyuan's parents, he would have to face Liu Xiaoli again.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Liu Xiaoli continue to add.
"Of course, Auntie also knows about the entertainment industry. Xixi's development is also very good now. I didn't think about you two getting married now, but I was thinking, should I meet your family first?"
After hearing this, Wei Jin breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't urging marriage, everything was easy to say.
"Auntie, I've been busy lately. After a few months, if I see a chance, I'll pick up my father and uncle to Beijing for a while. What do you think about having a meal together then?"
Liu Xiaoli was quite satisfied with Wei Jin's statement and nodded immediately.
"Alright, then Auntie will wait for your news."
"Hmm, then Auntie, Yifei and I will go up first, you also rest early..."
In the bedroom on the second floor, Liu Yifei looked up at Wei Jin, a bit uneasy.
"Brother, I didn't know Mom would mention this..."
Looking at the girl's cautious appearance, Wei Jin felt a bit uncomfortable. He made the mistake, but let her pay the bill.
Then he hugged the beauty in his arms, holding her exquisite pretty face with both hands.
"Silly girl, Auntie's idea is very normal. Besides, the ugly daughter-in-law should also see her parents-in-law..."
Wei Jin's words were not entirely comforting. Zeng Li already had a child, Jing Tian had already visited the door, Da Meiyuan was estimated to be soon, and it was time for Liu Yifei's side to let the family know.
As for whether the two old men could accept it, Wei Jin couldn't control it. He was now completely lying flat and rotten.
But these words were no less than a surprise in Liu Yifei's ears, so she took the initiative to offer a fragrant kiss.
At this time, Wei Jin naturally wouldn't do anything to spoil the scenery. He responded enthusiastically, greedily sucking the beauty's red lips, and a pair of hands began to wander restlessly on her delicate body.
Perhaps because the weather was too hot, Liu Yifei was dressed very coolly at home. Her upper body was a white high-waisted T-shirt, and her lower body was paired with a pair of pink sports ultra-short shorts.
At this moment, facing Wei Jin's invasion, the thin clothing had no ability to resist at all, and quickly left the position they should have protected.
Thanks to Wei Jin's long-term development and exercise, Liu Yifei's body was extremely sensitive, and soon she moved feelings under his unique kung fu. A pair of slender snow-white beautiful legs seemed to have no strength at all, and her whole body was paralyzed in his arms.
After a few minutes of wet kisses, the girl gasped, her eyes flowing, and a pair of small hands wandered around Wei Jin's waist. Unbuckling the belt was not difficult at all.
Feeling the heat coming from her palms, Liu Yifei pushed Wei Jin to the big bed behind her, took the initiative to bury her head, opened her red lips slightly, and printed it on it.
"Oh~~~"
Since it was a birthday, Wei Jin felt that he still couldn't let the girl work alone, so he patted her pretty face and said warmly:
"Yifei, turn around..."
Hearing this, the girl turned 180 degrees and sat down.
Looking at the charming scenery in front of him, Wei Jin couldn't help but take a deep breath. The unique fragrance made him a bit bloated, and he lifted his head up.
Facing Wei Jin's clever tongue and eloquent mouth, Liu Yifei was obviously difficult to resist, and she couldn't help it after a few minutes.
Slowly letting go of Wei Jin, the girl sat down from a high position, and the two became one in an instant.
"Oh~~~"
Accompanied by the fulfilling and soul-stirring singing voice, tonight's card game officially began. (End of chapter)
