I’m Not Shouldering This Blame

Chapter 167: cannon fodder

Views:

"What kind of international cooperation film? Don't be fooled by gimmicks. Who doesn't know the role of Chinese people in Hollywood blockbusters?"

Inside the Guangshi Group, Director Wang roared with a twisted face. He pressed his fist against the table. The ground was a mess, with folders and broken glass pieces scattered.

The secretary didn't dare to persuade him, so he stayed far away.

Director Wang continued to roar: "It's just a three-minute trick, and a character who shows his face and dies, is it worth it?"

On the computer screen, the stock price of Xingtian Entertainment Media has been red all the way, sweeping away the decline after the stock exchange resumed trading.

Taking the opportunity to acquire more shares in Xingtian fell through.

Those who held the shares and negotiated the price with Director Wang or those sent by Director Wang in advance regretted it.

An internationally produced film cannot save a company, but a film that is highly regarded by the state invested in the government is different.

Outside the office, Tan Liang, the third male lead in "Black Bamboo", was smoking a cigarette in a depressing way.

In fact, Tan Liang thinks that Director Wang may not lose in this situation. Ten percent of Xingtian's shares are still in his hands, so why panic! A well-made film will not be released until three or five years later. There are many variables in the middle, and there are ups and downs in the entertainment industry. How can anyone have smooth sailing and never have bad luck

Tan Liang was thinking in his heart when he suddenly saw his agent walking towards him with a dark face.

Tan Liang's heart sank slowly because of his knowledge of the agent, and there is probably something worse.

"That crew... The damn crew that didn't even have a name released the news of the interview meeting. There are six roles in total. People from the General Administration of Radio and Television accompanied the screening. Li Fei won not only a default role, but also a selection of roles. Have a say! What's going on here, what did he do?"

Not only was the manager pulling his hair and being irritable, Tan Liang also had the same doubts. Could it be that Li Fei had some backing he didn't know about

Guangshi Group and Xingtian Entertainment are enemies, and everyone knows what bad habits and backgrounds the artists under each other have. Li Fei's confidence is not that of Xingtian CEO Liang Jun

If Liang Jun gets out of the way, Li Fei's position in Xingtian will plummet. The newly appointed CEO is busy taking care of his own people, and the company's policies will not favor him. Under such a gap, big bosses like Director Wang will no longer be able to. Get some means, Li Fei will definitely not bear this tone. When the news that "Li Fei refused to sign with his old club Xingtian, and a new studio is already under preparation" came out, Xingtian Entertainment's share price would drop further.

Director Wang wants to annex and beat Xingtian.

Tan Liang just wanted to take a breath.

Whether it's Xingtian Entertainment or Guangshi Group, he doesn't like it much.

Before Abandoned World came, Tan Liang was at the bottleneck stage of his acting career.

As for his acting skills, he has been in the circle for so many years, and he has never received a major role in a big production. Does he always play supporting roles for a lifetime? He is a second-class artist in the Guangshi Group, and every day he has to find ways to find more opportunities to climb up. His face is not new to the audience. Some young people who have just entered the industry can take away his opportunities. . Because for the crew, new artists are low-paid and easy to use, and veteran artists have a great fan effect, but there are many things that the crew is scolded and blamed. If the commercial value of the artist is not so great that the crew is willing to endure this, then under the same conditions , they prefer to recruit new people.

Tan Liang felt uneasy, and he always had to find a place to vent his anger, so in the "Black Bamboo" crew, he always targeted the supporting actor.

The supporting actor Xiaotian Wang has many fans and good looks, and he sings well and acts well. However, he has no experience in filming, and Tan Liang succeeded many times at the beginning.

Later, new gossip appeared in the crew of "Black Bamboo". The actor's stand-in performed special, and it was suspected to be a newcomer to be launched by Xingtian Entertainment. This year, a newcomer dares to make a fuss about anything. Tan Liang instantly disliked Jian Hua. In addition, he is an artist of the Guangshi Group, and the company's executives also instructed him to do some damage.

As a result, the relationship between the "newcomer" and Li Fei is a bit of a mystery. Tan Liang believes that this is because Li Fei's government is too deep, and it is not easy to watch the actor's jokes.

However, the film was only halfway through. "Black Bamboo" is a commercial film about treasure hunting, and there is a fighting scene in the field behind it. It was more prone to accidents at that time.

At that time, Tan Liang never dreamed that this year would be like this.

Escaped from the apartment, followed the crowd and hid in fear, waiting in line for relief, listening to a lot of terrible news every day and not sure which one was the truth... Tan Liang didn't want to recall at all.

"You said that the original New Year's Eve shooting had something to do with Li Fei?" Tan Liang asked his agent.

If Li Fei has a background that no one in the circle knows about, then the target the shooter wants to kill may not be Xingtian CEO Liang Jun.

"He survived the disaster unscathed, and now the General Administration of Radio and Television has called him to make a movie... Li Fei must have done something, and a body suddenly appeared in the studio when we were shooting "Black Bamboo"! Maybe Li Fei did it!" Tan Liang said with a gloomy expression, "How can we find out the connection between these things?"

His manager stopped him with an ugly face: "This is not something in the entertainment industry. Even if the truth is found, the Guangshi Group will not dare to send it out! Are you crazy, knowing the danger here, but also stepping on it go in?"

Tan Liang stopped talking, he weighed it for a long time, and finally left the floor with the agent.

- Director Wang probably has no hope.

After entering the elevator, Tan Liang asked casually, "Where's Xiao Yaqin, does she know the news?"

"Don't mention it, she has already been squeezed into the shortlist for the interview through her relationship." The agent said angrily.

Tan Liang scolded something very vulgar, and his face became even more ugly.

On the day of the interview, many artists rushed over because of rumors.

The reporters followed reports. Such big news is the first big news after the recovery of the entertainment industry. Under the flash, many celebrity artists came to the building where the interview meeting was located, even if they had nothing to do with themselves, they had to appear in the mirror. Most artists have to rely on fans to eat. If they are forgotten by the public, there will be no way out.

This is the first time after the cataclysm that the audience has seen the shining idols of the past in the live broadcast.

The actors who participated in the audition and casting are not stupid. Could it be that they will drive a luxury car, wear a famous brand and carry a luxury bag? Of course, everyone dresses up in a simple and ordinary style, and they must be good-looking and eye-catching, and they can't make people feel that their appearance is declining. This is a technical job.

Fortunately, in the disaster, everyone lost weight, wore two less clothes, shivered in the cold wind, kept smiling, stopped occasionally to accept a few interviews, expressed their desire to get a job, thought of dead relatives and family members, and so on.

Everyone is playing emotional cards, and everyone can't tell whether what they say is from sincerity or habitual acting.

- Sadness is true, and life is not easy.

Jian Hua stopped and stood in the corridor on the 20th floor and looked at the crowd below. The surrounding staff who were busy carrying things came and went until a familiar aura stood behind him.

"People from the General Administration of Radio and Television took reporters upstairs, we need to change places."

Li Fei didn't want Jian Hua to be exposed to the camera. In fact, he was not very optimistic about this movie.

International cooperation is inherently difficult to communicate, and it is necessary to film to the satisfaction of politicians from all over the world. Even if Li Fei, as an actor, does not care how the film is made, he will not feel that with the disappearance of his supernatural power, he will be completely safe, and no one will think about it. To kill the Balrog.

It's a really exciting adventure to keep the crew from killing you while filming.

One more thing, in order to protect people like Li Fei who performed in their true colors, all the ace special forces were also mixed in the crew, waiting for an opportunity to deal with the killers and spies of various countries. What kind of trouble is it more exciting than the movie

"Colonel Lu said that all your scenes can be filmed in China. If there is an opponent's scene that cannot be solved, use high technology to solve it." Jian Hua took out his mobile phone and handed it to Li Fei for him to watch.

In this message, the United States has finalized the starring roles.

American heroic protagonist, tall and handsome, a man with charismatic charisma - even if Johnson wanted to play, the United States unanimously agreed that Johnson would perform in his true colors, and the hardware was not up to standard. Johnson Brown does not fit the image of the superhero in the popular concept at all.

"Who do you think this person will be?"

"An ordinary person." Li Fei thought for a while and explained, "In this way, the protagonist does not have to worry about personal safety when he goes to any country to film, and it can also reduce international disputes."

He said it very funny, but Jian Hua couldn't laugh.

He turned his head and motioned to Li Fei to look at the crowd downstairs.

"There will be so many people participating in the interview?"

"No, there are only more than 50 people who have been interviewed, about an average of every ten people fighting for a role."

Li Fei was determined by default, and the role of Guan Ling, the space power user, was almost determined. In fact, there were only four roles for the people who came to interview today.

People who have nothing to do with interviews are just going through the motions, just like people who have not been invited to the Oscars and have to walk the red carpet. Pretend you've qualified for an interview and come in for a casting call.

The second and third floors of the building were filled with people. These entertainers who had sworn with a smile a few minutes ago to try their best to win the role, crowded into a crowd to inquire about whether there could be additional places for the interview and who was in charge.

The more interesting person found a corner and squatted, took out the mirror and put on some makeup, ready to "frustrated and leave" when it was almost time.

There was a commotion in the hall, Xiao Yaqin stepped on her high heels, took out her certificate triumphantly, and entered the elevator with her assistant.

As soon as she left, there was a burst of murmurs in the crowd, because none of the artists from the Guangshi Group except Xiao Yaqin got interview spots. What kind of path did Xiao Yaqin follow? Is she really related to Li Fei

Xiao Yaqin's smile was maintained until she walked into the casting conference room.

Two famous domestic directors, famous screenwriters, strangers in military uniforms, and leaders of the General Administration of Radio and Television... Li Fei, who was rumored to be one of the judges, was nowhere to be seen.

The director holding the audition request said with a stern face: "The sixth role, male and female requirements are not limited, a person who saw himself being eaten by an ogre with his own eyes, you can start acting."

Xiao Yaqin froze there, her eyes straightened.

Don't you mean, isn't it cannon fodder
