Chapter 105: A Young Player in His Twenties Guards the National Goal, While a Veteran in His Sixties Makes a Lot of Money

Chen Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

Director Huang is only 35 years old this year. He has good abilities and a down-to-earth attitude.

Overall, he is a very good member.

Let’s take another look.

If his performance is very good in the future, he will be poached after the box office of "Interstellar" is established and the company is established.

I heard that his current company's treatment is mediocre. There were many older casting directors weighing on him.

If Chen Xiao hadn't asked young people this time, it would never have been his turn to join the group.

His current salary is poor, so it shouldn't be difficult to recruit him.

Chen Xiao glanced at the projection and continued:

"Just follow this list to invite. But please note that the shooting location of the first planet is Dagu Glacier. Actors who have been filmed in the past must meet the physical condition."

"OK!"

"Casting is scheduled for March 5th and 6th."

Then in two weeks, we can train the actors for the glacier scene.

Two weeks later it will be March 20, the opening ceremony of the Venice Film Festival.

There was plenty of time for this shooting.

Just go to the opening ceremony and stay there from March 20th to 31st.

Last time at the Cannes Film Festival, he ran out on the last day because the crew had a tight schedule and he was too lazy to give interviews to the media.

But now, to develop on the international stage, the Venice Film Festival is a good opportunity.

As one of the three major international film festivals, a large number of famous international film and television people will be present.

He plans to take this opportunity to contact international producers and distributors.

Sooner or later, you will have to go it alone and build up your network first.

The three of them briefly chatted about the specific arrangements, then left the concert hall and went to eat a packed lunch.

…

Time passes quickly.

Two more days passed and it was February 28th.

The crew's preparations are on track.

Setting the scene, contacting actors, recording music, etc. were all done simultaneously.

Everyone just finished working for the day and went back to enjoy the evening.

A piece of bombshell news dropped on the Internet like a bomb.

Four films including "Farewell My Concubine" were shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival!

Among them, "Farewell My Concubine" was shortlisted for the main competition unit!

This is the same as the Cannes Film Festival. It is the most important track and the track where the highest award, the "Golden Lion Award" is determined.

As for the other three.

"Love is a Gun" was shortlisted for the International Film Critics Week section. This unit is used to encourage newcomers.

"Snow Fox" was shortlisted for the non-competition screening unit. As the name suggests, it is just a screening and not a competition.

"Lang's Love and Concubine" was shortlisted for the classic category. This unit also focuses on presentation, with few prizes.

Therefore, the important task of winning the award this time falls on "Farewell My Concubine" and "Love is a Gun".

There is only one film "Farewell My Concubine" that has the important task of winning the highest award!

Netizens had previously spoken highly of "Farewell My Concubine", but they couldn't help but be excited when they saw it go abroad and enter the international stage.

"Director Chen is really awesome. He made a film that entered a top international film festival."

"I will never regret entering Xiaomen in this life!"

"Director Chen makes a lot of money every time, right? I suddenly worry, will he make movies for two years and then retire after saving enough money?"

"Damn it! Stop it, steal the house through crowdfunding! Transfer his money secretly!"

"Having said that, the recent international awards have all depended on his movies. Domestic entertainment should really wake up! A kid in his twenties is guarding the country."

"Hahahahaha! He's obviously a pretty boy in his twenties guarding the country."

"Young people in their twenties guard the country!"

"Here comes someone, pick me up quickly!"

"A thirty-year-old brother plays a teenager."

"Forty-year-old aunts are first loves."

"Auntie in her fifties calls the girl."

"Directors in their sixties are bad at making money."

"A 70-year-old grandma pretends to be a girl."

"Damn...hahahahaha, this generation of netizens are laughing so hard."

"Help, you are not allowed to use pictures of my eyes!"

"Girl in her fifties, I really can't stand it anymore, hahahaha."

"You guys are working so hard in your twenties. If you don't roll up the entertainment, there will be no place for you!"

…

The news that "Farewell My Concubine" was shortlisted, as well as netizens' ridicule about domestic entertainment, quickly reached the ears of major entertainment companies, celebrities, and actors.

In the past two days, the news about the invitation of actors for "Interstellar" has spread in the circle.

Some celebrities asked about the roles and recommended themselves.

Some celebrities couldn't help but decided to wait and see.

But even if they can sit still, agents and companies can't either.

They all asked about the roles in Chen Xiao's new film to see if there were any roles suitable for their own artists.

After all, with the right crew, pigs can take off!

In a luxurious villa in Shanghai.

A slim woman wrapped in a bathrobe was lying on the sofa watching TV.

Even though she has a mask on her face, she can still be seen as a gorgeous beauty.

Just then there was the sound of the door opening and a rush of footsteps.

The woman looked back and saw her sister and manager Shen Man rushing in without even changing her shoes.

Shen Man threw his bag on the sofa aside and sat next to her.

"Xuanxuan, I heard that there is an adult Murphy character in Director Chen's new film. He is the daughter of the protagonist, a 33-year-old scientist. You are perfect for the role!"

Shen Xuan turned her head and frowned slightly, "33 years old? Too old? I always play people around 20, even high school students. How can I play someone in their thirties?"

Shen Man rolled his eyes, "Miss, you are 31 this year! Is there any problem playing a 33-year-old?"

Shen Xuan curled her lips and seemed unhappy, "Scientist, I have never acted in this profession. Is there any love scene?"

"No."

"Forget it, I'm not good at it, just wait for Chen Xiao's next movie."

Shen Man was almost sent away by her nonchalant tone.

"Miss, what's your position? Can you choose Chen Xiao's role? Go online and see for yourself, "Farewell My Concubine" has also entered the three major international film festivals!"

Facing her biological sister, her tone was unceremonious.

Shen Xuan's eyes moved when she heard the news about the three major film festivals.

This reminded her of a person, an actress who also specialized in love scenes - Wensi.

Originally, Wens, the new generation of little flower, had a lower status than her, so he had to nod and bow when he saw her.

Now Wensi has become a movie queen and has endless resources.

It would be a lie to say that I am not jealous.

If she agrees to participate, maybe she can also win an international award?

"Okay, let's take this."

Shen Xuan waved her hands, took off the mask on her face, and stood up to wash her face.

Behind her, Shen Man stamped his feet as if he hated iron.

Her attitude is as if adult Murphy is hers. Silly!

The media and fans praised her every day, and she really thought that the entire crew supported her and revolved around her.

But what is the level of the crew of "Interstellar"?

Hey, forget it, it doesn’t make sense to her, let’s think about how to get her on the candidate list and get her selected.

Her acting skills are okay, but she is too arrogant.

She must be given training these days!

Shen Man sighed and quickly took out his phone.

Find someone to edit out the highlight moments of Shen Xuan's acting skills, and use connections to find ways to get Shen Xuan into the audition list.

At the same time, similar scenes are happening in many luxury homes and entertainment companies.
