Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 423 421. Hidden connections

The road in East Mianmian Hutong is very narrow, and it is quite troublesome to drive in. Moreover, there are many people coming to play in this area. If you want to drive in, it is better to walk.

A black Mercedes-Benz parked at the entrance of the alley. The driver got out and opened the trunk, revealing a box under the forest.

Cheng Hao in the car kissed Chen Li'an on the face and said in a hoarse voice: "Then I'm going back to school, don't forget to come see me."

Chen Li'an nodded and said, "Well, I'll see you in a few days."

Cheng Hao then opened the door and got out of the car, took the box from the driver and headed to school.

Chen Lian sat in the car and watched Cheng Hao's figure disappear into the crowd before he withdrew his gaze, took his cell phone and sent a text message.

When Cheng Hao returned to the dormitory with his suitcase, he happened to meet Zhang Ziyi hurried downstairs, and his greetings to her were ignored.

Seeing Zhang Ziyi's dress and anxious look, Cheng Hao couldn't help but curl his lips, snorted softly, and turned around to go upstairs.

Chen Lian waited at the entrance of the alley for less than fifteen minutes before Zhang Ziyi ran out. She stood in front of the Mercedes-Benz and hesitated for a moment. When the window was lowered and she saw Chen Li'an's face, she smiled and called Teacher Chen sweetly, opened the door and got in.

After sitting in the car, Chen Li'an asked the driver to drive. Zhang Ziyi looked at Chen Li'an's profile and felt a little nervous.

I wanted to take a mirror to see if my makeup looked good, and I prayed in my heart that when I ran over just now, I didn't make myself look ugly.

The last experience on the dam was truly unforgettable and humiliating for her.

Chen Lian looked down at several text messages sent by Li Xue on his phone and suddenly said, "You are looking for me because of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, right?"

"I want Teacher Chen to help me." Zhang Ziyi pinched the corner of her skirt, feeling a little nervous.

Chen Li'an looked down at his phone and said without looking up: "How do you want me to help you."

The atmosphere in the car and Chen Li'an's absent-mindedness made Zhang Ziyi very nervous. Looking at Chen Li'an's expressionless face, he bit his lip and said, "I want to play the role of Yu Jiaolong. Teacher Chen, can you help me?"

After reading the text message, Chen Li'an raised his head and looked at Zhang Ziyi. He didn't dare to look at her until she lowered her head and said, "I can help you, but give me a reason. I can help you with some things, but I want to help you with this matter." Be a favor."

Zhang Ziyi swallowed, raised his head and mustered up the courage to look at Chen Li'an and said, "Teacher Chen, do you think I look good today?"

Chen Li'an looked carefully at Zhang Ziyi, wearing a short skirt, stockings and suspenders, and a pair of platform shoes. I don't know why this style of clothing is so popular these days, but it does look good.

Chen Li'an withdrew his gaze, looked at Zhang Ziyi, shook his head and said, "It's pretty good-looking, but there are too many good-looking people."

Got rejected again? Zhang Ziyi was filled with frustration. The last time he looked sloppy without makeup, he was disliked. This time, he looked so good with makeup and was disliked.

Zhang Ziyi didn't know what else he could do to impress Chen Li'an. He grabbed the hem of his skirt with his fingers and didn't know how to continue.

Chen Li'an looked at her like this and asked the driver to drive without saying anything.

The car was extremely quiet along the way, and the cold air from the car's air conditioner made Zhang Ziyi feel cold in his heart.

It wasn't until the car stopped at the entrance of Beijing Film Studio that Chen Li'an broke the silence.

"Go in, Li An is waiting for you inside, put on your costume and try again. It's up to you whether you can seize the opportunity."

Zhang Ziyi immediately raised his head and looked at Chen Li'an in surprise. Before he could say his thanks, he heard Chen Li'an say: "Don't say thank you, Yu Jiaolong won't thank you. You don't have that energy anymore. Adjust your condition before getting off the car." .”

Zhang Ziyi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but pout slightly. Who can be so arrogant in front of you? Yu Jiaolong is the only one left.

However, Zhang Ziyi quickly adjusted his mentality and began to slowly enter the character's state.

Chen Li'an didn't bother him. He waited until Zhang Ziyi adjusted his condition before saying, "Li An is nothing, and Zhou Runfa is nothing. You don't need to take a high look. Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Zhang Ziyi nodded vigorously, then opened the door and got out of the car.

Looking at the gate of Beijing Film Studio, Zhang Ziyi felt that what Chen Li'an just said was right. Li An was nothing, and Zhou Runfa was nothing. He could be brave in front of Chen Li'an, but he was afraid of what they would do.

Chen Li'an looked at Zhang Ziyi's back through the car window and couldn't help but laugh. This was so cool.

Chen Li'an's car was parked at the entrance of Beijing Film Studio. It was very eye-catching. Several people recognized Chen Li'an's car.

Feng Xiaogang was filming endlessly and felt like he couldn't take the picture anymore. Ge You also felt boring and kept shouting all day to shoot faster and stopped filming when it didn't work.

Feng Xiaogang originally didn't plan to make a New Year's film this year, but his superiors asked him to finish three films before it was complete, so he was full of resentment.

This time I went back to the factory just to find someone to complain to, but I didn't expect to meet Chen Li'an.

The Mercedes-Benz didn't turn off. When Feng Xiaogang knew there was someone inside, he took the initiative and knocked on the window.

When Chen Li'an saw Feng Xiaogang, he rolled down the window and looked at him and said, "Director Feng, long time no see."

"Hey, I've always wanted to see you, but you were too busy and never did." Feng Xiaogang didn't dare to be arrogant in front of Chen Li'an now.

Even though he made two Lunar New Year films, both of which had high box office, they were not worthy of recognition in front of Chen Li'an.

In front of others, I can still be arrogant and say that I am the leading commercial film director in China, but in front of Chen Li'an, forget about business and directing.

The business family is very rich, and the director has to get investment from them. Even the artistic achievements are still far behind.

Chen Li'an didn't get out of the car, looked at Feng Xiaogang and asked, "Isn't Director Feng filming endlessly? Why did he come to the factory alone today?"

"When something happens, come over to the factory to solve it. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Chen." Feng Xiaogang said politely, bending down.

Chen Li'an nodded and said: "Okay, then you are busy with your work. When you have time, you can visit the class later. Wu Qianlian called me yesterday and asked me to treat her to dinner."

"Okay, then I'll leave first. Come back to the set and I'll treat you to dinner."

There is nothing unexpected about Feng Xiaogang. Wu Qianlian and Chen Li'an have acted together, so it's normal for them to know each other. Maybe there is another relationship.

Feng Xiaogang left and didn't take this opportunity to complain to Chen Li'an. He was too embarrassed to express his worries.

Furthermore, this time, Beijing Film Studio and Bauhinia City Pictures did not seek cooperation with Chen Li'an, so why did they have the nerve to talk to others so much.

Looking at Feng Xiaogang's leaving figure, Chen Li'an felt that the domestic entertainment industry was really not interesting, but those who made independent films were more interesting.

At least it won't be so philistine.

Whether it was Lao Jia, Lou Ye or Wang Xiaoshuai, they would never use this attitude when talking to Chen Li'an on the phone, and they would treat each other as friends.

Feng Xiaogang wasted no time at the Beijing Film Studio. The newly appointed director went to an impromptu meeting. Han Shanping was transferred to China Film Studio as a deputy director last month and is no longer in the factory.

He came to cry and couldn't find anyone to cry to, and he felt very depressed.

I really don’t want to make this crappy movie!

Feng Xiaogang sighed and was about to leave, but he remembered that Li An was training at the Beijing Film Studio and wanted to go over and take a look.

He was envious in his heart. Those who had made literary films had gone abroad, and he was still making commercial comedies here.

When will I have such treatment and status as Li An?

Feng Xiaogang went to the training venue and went in directly. Seeing the heated training inside, he couldn't help but feel envious.

Make a blockbuster, when can I make a blockbuster?

Feng Xiaogang was taken to see Li An, who was waiting to audition for Zhang Ziyi.

Li An felt strange. He didn't know how Zhang Ziyi asked Zhang Yimo to help introduce him and Chen Li'an to help intercede.

Li An and Chen Li'an have never met and don't know each other, but they still have to give face. After all, he has to pay attention to those who come to help convey the message. If he doesn't give face, it will be too offending.

But then I saw Feng Xiaogang coming over and knowing that he was the director of Beijing Film Studio, I curiously inquired about Zhang Ziyi's background.

Feng Xiaogang was also confused. How could he know Zhang Ziyi? He had only seen the news before and knew that she acted in Zhang Yimo's movie.

But when I think of Chen Li'an at the gate of Beijing Film Studio, I feel that the relationship between Zhang Ziyi and Chen Li'an is not simple, otherwise he would not have come to see her off in person and still waited at the door.

Feng Xiaogang was not someone who spread gossip. He did not say that Chen Li'an was at the gate of Beijing Film Studio. He just smiled and said to Li An, "This little girl is quite extraordinary."

Li An frowned slightly, looking at Feng Xiaogang's cryptic appearance, and wondered in his mind whether Zhang Ziyi had that kind of relationship with Chen Li'an.

At this time, there was already a faint preference in my mind to choose Zhang Ziyi over another alternative actor.

In the dressing room on the other side, Zhang Ziyi was particularly grateful that she knew Chen Li'an, otherwise she would have to pay a price to get this role this time.

In a big production worth tens of millions of dollars, the female lead was chosen casually. It’s not like there aren’t actors who are better than her in this circle of acting, let alone fame.

I don’t know how many actresses in China want to come here to act. There are so many big-name stars, so who will get her turn?

Zhang Ziyi must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Whether he can become an instant success depends on this time!

Zhang Ziyi, who quickly changed into costume, appeared in front of Li An. Li An suddenly felt his eyes light up. He didn't expect that Zhang Ziyi, who put on costume, would look so similar.

Especially the stubbornness in his body and the arrogance in his eyes now, he looks so much like Yu Jiaolong.

Feng Xiaogang was also sizing up Zhang Ziyi and couldn't help but nod slightly. He was indeed very good-looking. No wonder Chen Li'an liked him. He just had an average figure.

"Director! Which scene to try?" Zhang Ziyi looked at Li An and asked.

Li An thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment, I'll ask Fa Zai to come and try it with you."

After hearing this, Feng Xiaogang couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Li An, and asked Zhou Runfa to join the scene, which put a lot of psychological pressure on the actor.

But Zhang Ziyi just nodded slightly and said: "Okay."

Such reaction and performance surprised both Feng Xiaogang and Li An. Are you so calm?

Li An looked at Zhang Ziyi's expression and asked someone to call Zhou Runfa.

If Zhang Ziyi can act normally with Zhou Runfa, Li An will decide to use her!

It's just that Zhou Runfa is not that easy to invite. I don't know how many minutes it will take to invite him.

Li An was not in a hurry, and took this opportunity to observe Zhang Ziyi again. If he could maintain his current state, it would not have much impact whether he tried acting or not.

But Chen Li'an, who was waiting outside, was very annoyed. It had already been half an hour, why was it so slow to try out a scene?

Chen Li'an made a call to Zhang Ziyi. In the empty dressing room, Zhang Ziyi's cell phone buzzed but no one could hear it.

"What the hell are you doing, wasting time." Chen Li'an glanced at his watch, opened the car door, got out of the car and walked toward the factory.

Since the audition is so slow, let’s take a look around and see how the level of Yuan and Ping’s martial arts team is.

Chen Li'an, who hadn't practiced boxing for a long time, still had itchy hands.

I just don’t know if the Wuzhi team is just showing off or if they have a little bit of work behind them. If it’s the former, it would be too boring.

Chen Li'an walked towards the training ground of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. When he entered, he saw a very familiar face.

To be precise, he is familiar with others, but others are not familiar with him.

The national martial arts champion, Zhang Jing, is just a newbie in the martial arts industry.
