In the small classroom of the Central Academy of Drama, there are some basic theoretical skills courses in the morning. In the afternoon, I pray to Momo and Li Youhu to conduct performance training. In addition to the two scripts "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Speak Well", Teacher Yu also specially selected some classic paragraphs of classic films.

This is also the daily routine of the two women in class.

Simple and crude, go straight to the point, and the effect is immediate.

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a Central Opera professor who had taught Li Youhu came to visit. The professor's surname was Chang and brought a group of his own students, a freshman in the 1996 class of the Central Opera Performance Class who was undergoing military training.

It is the autumn school season in China.

The 1996 freshmen of the Central Academy of Drama officially registered on August 22 and are currently in military training. The next three days will be the registration time for senior students. It will be the weekend soon, and the busiest days of the Central Academy of Drama's school season, so Teacher Chang was able to bring his own group of students to the sidelines.

The Chinese entertainment industry is actually similar to Hollywood, and most of the artists who can emerge basically know each other, and the two mountains of Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama are a key link to these people. Therefore, Li Youhu, who had received a brief training here earlier, returned again, and had another Zhu Momo. The news has actually spread quickly.

Usually, no one cares too much about the two girls who have big money owners behind them. This kind of thing is really sparse and ordinary in the circle. However, when the money owner is Simon Westeros, things are suddenly very different.

In this world today, Simon Westero's influence has become increasingly omnipresent.

Just like the Chinese entertainment industry, because Daenerys Entertainment is strong in Hollywood, in China, filmmakers who have a little bit of their thoughts on Hollywood cannot ignore it.

And, this is just before.

With the frequent moves of the Westeros system in China's media and entertainment industry over the past six months, some connections have become closer.

Li Youhu, who used to be straightforward, did not develop smoothly in the circle. This time, because a very big backer stood behind him, he no longer needed to deliberately adapt to the social engagements in this circle, but instead seemed like a fish in water.

He greeted Teacher Chang who came to visit him warmly, and did not forget to drag Zhu Momo and others to greet the freshmen in Class 96 to introduce them.

So soon arrived at 4 pm.

The appointment time and the arrival of the other two visitors made a group of freshmen from Class 96 cheer up. These little novices could not be very clear about the background of Zhu Li’s two girls, but it was impossible for them to know Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jiang, who won the championship in Berlin for "Red Sorghum" back then.

These are two big names.

Master Zhang graduated from Beijing Film Academy, while Lao Jiang is from the Central Academy of Drama. Teacher Chang is a veteran in the Central Academy of Drama. He is very familiar with each other, so he is inevitably full of enthusiasm.

Then we talked about the important matters.

Master Zhang and Lao Jiang came to see the heroine of their next film, that is, Zhu Momo.

Speaking of which, the key project in Mr. Zhang is still "Hero", which is the one that Simon personally provided creatively. He is very clear about the huge investment in this Daenerys Entertainment film with a planned investment of US$30 million in war martial arts. Mr. Zhang has decisively put down all the work in his hands and began to follow up on this project.

However, the preparations for "Hero" cannot be completed overnight. After all, 30 million US dollars is not much in the United States, but in China, it means more than 250 million yuan. Even the "Opium War" that Director Xie is filming does not have such a huge scale. Since "Hero" cannot be launched in the short term, Simon happened to learn that Mr. Zhang had another script that he had originally planned to give up because he could not raise funds, so he personally asked about it and quickly launched the project.

This script is adapted from a short story "Say It Well"

With the support of Simon, compared with "Hero", "Say Something" is much faster to prepare, and filming is expected to start in October.

Of course, this inevitably brings a small problem.

The original version of "Say Something to Be Well" took place in midsummer, and this time it will definitely be changed to autumn and winter. However, this is not a big problem. The core of the movie is still the story.

Master Zhang and Lao Jiang have read Zhu Momo’s information before, and this is the first time we have met.

The two Chinese film and television celebrities have surprisingly consistent first impressions of girls.

high.

Too high.

In fact, Lao Jiang is 183 cm tall, a little taller than Zhu Momo, who is 182 cm tall. However, men and women cannot calculate this way. After all, no matter ancient and modern times, both men and women are high and low, which is a very common subconscious aesthetic bias. One man and one woman are put together. Not to mention that women are taller than men, even if they are even, most people will feel inconsistent.

The heroine of the original "Say Something" is also a model, but compared to Zhu Momo, the other party is only 175 cm, which is still a little different from Lao Jiang, so it is also considered a match.

However, since it was a girl who was stuffed by a big shot by someone, both Master Zhang and Lao Jiang knew that they didn’t have much room to refuse.

What if it is otherwise?

Originally, he had a mentality of rushing to get on the shelves, but after the first impression, he continued to talk and contact for a while, and the two of them discovered at the same time that Simon Westeros did not seem to be too messy.

The girl in front of me is certainly immature, but while she is immature, she also has a very photogenic temperament, and can even be said to be aura.

Speaking of the actor's aura, Lao Jiang is undoubtedly the most obvious one. Zhu Momo seems to be born for the camera in terms of appearance and personality. Especially for the role of An Hong in "Say What to Say", Mr. Zhang, who has always seen the actors very accurately, gradually felt that this girl could definitely leave a very deep impression on the audience with "Say What to Say What to Say".

Especially after Zhu Momo, who was born in the first place but was not at all nervous, had a scene with Lao Jiang on the spot.

A newborn calf.

It's simply not that appropriate.

You should know that An Hong in the original film is a little wild cat with a sexy appearance, but also a very fickle personality. In the Chinese circle, because of the status of Mr. Zhang and Lao Jiang, it is not easy to find a girl who can be freely placed in front of them.

I had a line with Zhu Momo again, and Lao Jiang, who had suddenly had inspiration, walked to Master Zhang in a corner of the classroom and said, "I suddenly felt that since this girl is taller than me, it's better to be taller and put on high heels." As he said that, he turned around and said to the girl who came over together, "Momo, do you have high heels?"

At first, both of them called Zhu Momo as Miss Zhu. Zhu Momo had not yet had such low emotional intelligence, so he took the initiative to change the two of them to a relatively close name.

Moreover, because of the afternoon meeting, Zhu Momo specially changed his flat shoes today. He came over and heard Lao Jiang say this and smiled and said, "Of course, I actually like to wear high heels the most, the 12-centimeter-like one."

Master Zhang thought about it for a moment and shook his head again: "Add 12 cm, this is 1.94 meters, which may be too high."

Zhu Momo said: "Teacher Zhang, I have a lot of high heels, any taller ones."

Lao Jiang smiled and said, "Then find some time and try the effect all."

Zhu Momo agreed: "Okay, I'll leave all my time this year for "Speak Well" and it's available on call."

Master Zhang also agreed.

Teacher Chang, who had never left, watched for half an hour and saw that the main thing had been discussed, it seemed that there was still no chance for them. After Teacher Chang greeted him, the students had to leave first.

After a group of freshmen left, Lao Jiang asked: "Teacher Chang, are there any good seedlings in this class?"

Teacher Chang, who stayed, came over and said, "If you ask me to say that, of course they are all good seedlings. This time is different from the past, and maybe you know it too."

Lao Jiang really didn't know much about this: "What?"

Teacher Chang had no choice but to explain: "The school has adjusted the recruitment standards for performance classes. Just like this class, most of the girls from this class have come from dancing and opera, and they already have good foundations. Well, it's like a fox."

"Oh, that's great."

Teacher Chang did not forget to take advantage of the situation: "So, Lao Jiang and Lao Zhang, if you have the right opportunity, don't forget my students."

Master Zhang said: "It must be certain, but they are all in the first grade. Are you willing to release people so soon?"

"As long as it's your two films, it's OK anytime."

"Then we're determined," Mr. Zhang agreed with a smile, and then looked at Li Youhu who had just watched: "Youhu, will you go to the cocktail party tonight?"

Li Youhu nodded. Although she participated in Ang Lee's movie, she was also very clear about Mr. Zhang's status in the Chinese film circle and was also quite polite at this time: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, we will all go there."

When Teacher Chang heard the cocktail party, he was confused.

Seeing this, Master Zhang took the initiative to explain: "This is a cocktail party held by Jinshu Media. Everyone gathers. Jinshu Media, Lao Chang, you should have heard of it too?"

Teacher Chang nodded.

Jinshu Media has emerged in the circle without realizing it. The business scope of its public information is film and television production, artist agency, performance planning, etc. In the circle, with a series of projects announced by the company in recent months, such as Zhang Guoshi's "Say It Well", the planned "Hero", the upcoming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and even a comedy that seems to be related to making a phone call. Everyone gradually understands that this company is a shell of Daenerys Entertainment in China.

Moreover, because of the two cooperation projects of "Say Something Good" and "Hero", Zhang Guoshi also took advantage of the situation to become the first master filmmaker signed by Jinshu Media.

At this stage, China does not allow foreign capital to directly establish film and television production companies, and even the joint venture policy has not been opened. In fact, the opening for private capital to invest in film and television production has only been opened for one or two years.

Of course, this is only at the policy level.

There have always been policies and countermeasures from above. Not allowing production companies to be established does not mean that foreign capital cannot invest in Chinese movies.

The most typical one is that many of Zhang Guoshi’s previous videos are basically foreign investors.

Until "Say Something to Be Well", Mr. Zhang didn't want to film rural dramas anymore and didn't want to question the times anymore. He felt that this movie might not be sold, so foreign capital would all run away. If Simon hadn't taken over, the film might have been suffocated.

As for the several films Zhang Guoshi after "Speak Something Well" in the original time and space, such as "My Father and Mother", as "Hero" was launched in advance, it probably won't appear again this time.

Simon was not very interested in those films.

After the main talk, I chatted for a while and everyone said goodbye.

Li Youhu and Zhu Momo practiced in the classroom until five o'clock in the afternoon before leaving. However, as soon as the group left the building where the classroom was located, they met two girls in Class 96 who were obviously guarding here: "Youhu, Momo, are you free tomorrow?"

Li Youhu is not free, and unless necessary, she doesn't like socializing much.

I wish Momo a good time.

This is also the difference between the two. Moreover, Zhu Momo also took the initiative to invite girls from Class 96 to go out for fun on weekends. She hasn't had time to go around the capital these days.

When they returned to Maoer Hutong, Chen Qing and his two girls did not return.

After dinner, the two girls prepared and took a bus to the China Hotel.

Jinshu Media’s cocktail party is held here.

Chen Qing and Lin Su, who were dining outside, arrived almost the same time, and also brought Lin Su's sister Lin Lan.

To a certain extent, the two girls are the protagonists tonight.

Because they are closest to a young tycoon, they can intervene in many affairs of the Westeros system in China.

Entering a banquet hall in the China Hotel and looking at many big names around you at a glance. Even though he had already opened his eyes this afternoon with his sister, Lin Lan couldn't help but widen his eyes until he heard greetings.

"Miss Lin, Miss Chen, you are here."

Looking at it, it turned out that they were two men in their thirties, wearing suits, one was over 1.8 meters tall and thin, and the other had a typical national face. What Lin Lan noticed was that both of them were also shrewd and capable. Of course, this is the case for ordinary successful people, but Lin Lan could detect that the temperaments of these two were obviously different.

Like a wolf.

After greeting him, Lin Sucai introduced to his sister: "Xiao Lan, this is Wu Shanlin, the president of Jinshu Media. This is Luo Qian, the president of Jinshu Academy. Two, this is my sister, Lin Lan."
