Director Qin Hanlin had seen the photos and was afraid of danger, so he immediately started preparing for the filming. After all, Queen Lu is not an ordinary person. With her own strength and family background, she has always been the one who chooses resources. No resources choose her. It is a great honor for her to be willing to spare half a year to agree to his performance. Part of it is also because of the actress who plays the leading role in the movie - Laiying. Laiying, 27 years old, is one of the few friends of Lu Yinbing in the circle. She has also won the best actress award and is recognized for her good acting skills. This time, the two of them will star in "Breaking Snow" together. It is a strong combination, and Director Qin is very confident.
Speaking of Director Qin Hanlin, he is a well-known phenomenal and eccentric director in the circle. He is so famous that almost all female stars flock to his movies. As society's pursuit of beauty becomes more and more abnormal, Qin Hanlin's reputation is also growing, because the reason why he is called phenomenal and eccentric is that he has been pursuing the extreme beauty for decades.
He is an out gay, but he has a special liking for female stars. Most of the movies he shoots are female-led, and there are basically no male protagonists. He is particularly good at discovering the advantages of actresses and magnifying them reasonably. He always has his own professional private costume and lighting team. In his hands, an actor with a score of 6 can be filmed as an actor with a score of 8, and an actor with a score of 8 can be filmed as a actor with a score of 10. The women on the big screen are not only beautiful, but also extremely beautiful.
Each beauty is the cinnabar mole and white moonlight in the audience's heart. Those who are not famous will become popular, and those who are already popular will become even more popular. Even if the beauties retire from the screen many years later, people will often mention them.
In addition, the Internet has developed rapidly in the past two years. Once Director Qin's films are released, they will definitely become the material that the majority of scissors on a large domestic barrage website will compete to use. There is a joke in the circle: "Director Qin is here again. Are your scissors thirsty?"
These edited materials were forwarded and shared by netizens on the Internet, leading to a new exposure chain. Last year, an unknown female artist participated in Qin Hanlin's movie, "At a Glance, She's So Beautiful That She Can't Be Stunning", and then many scissor hands used her as fan material. Netizens asked about her and found out her name. The company took advantage of the situation and promoted her from the eighteenth line to the third or fourth line. She took the opportunity to play the second female lead in a TV series. The role is likable and now she has many fans and officially entered the second line.
As the saying goes: 30% is determined by fate, 70% is determined by hard work, and the remaining 90% depends entirely on the face. In the entertainment industry, beauty is the most important thing, and no one is ugly. The important thing is how to find a mentor to show your beauty. A two-point improvement can instantly leave behind a large number of peers, so directors like Qin Hanlin are particularly popular. However, Qin Hanlin himself has a big name, and he also has his own persistence as a director. It is a two-way choice relationship with the actors. Stars who are popular but have no acting skills are never considered as the protagonists in his consideration, so he chose Lu Yinbing and Laiying, a double queen lineup, with both beauty and acting skills.
However, most directors need to make some small concessions to the commercial society. For example, sometimes they will give up some unimportant supporting roles and let popular stars participate in the performance. This can save their own publicity costs and make it easier to create momentum.
Because of Qin Hanlin's unique way of creating stars in his films, a supporting role can make many stars compete with each other for a role - many of them are first-line artists, Xia Yitong is one of them - although her purpose is different from others, it cannot be said to be simple.
Xia Yitong was wearing Su Han's coat, with her hands in her pockets, walking towards the chairman's office. Su Han didn't come with her, saying that she had a good relationship with the chairman, so he let her talk first, and if the chairman got angry, he would call her.
It's not that I don't understand Su Han's selfishness. She doesn't need to take the blame for the trouble she caused. Xia Yitong raised her eyebrows, stood in front of the chairman's office, stretched out her hand, and knocked gently.
"Who is it?"
"Boss Qin, I'm Xia Tong."
"Enter."
Xia Yitong pushed the door open and saw the CEO Qin she had mentioned lying on the sofa, covered with a blanket, with sleepy eyes. She glanced at him, covered her palm-sized face with one hand, turned her back and continued to sleep. Xia Yitong sat down on the single sofa next to her and waited patiently for a while. CEO Qin finally woke up and got up groaning, still staggering. Xia Yitong went over to help her and called her affectionately, "Sister Mu."
Qin Mu scratched his long hair irritably, and then fell into her chest: "Ah, I'm so sleepy. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
This CEO Qin is 28 years old, with a single name of Mu. She is the chairman of Chaochu Entertainment, the company Xia Yitong signed with. She is fair-skinned and beautiful, and a complete playboy. Her father is rich and gave her this entertainment company to play with. She never cares about anything, acts as a mascot in meetings, and appears in the company nine times out of ten, she is sleeping. She is used to being a hands-off boss. The only wise decision she made was to take a fancy to Xia Yitong and dump her to Su Han. Although she never cared about her again, she was grateful to Xia Yitong for her help. Qin Mu also felt that she was the honor of her career, and had a close relationship with her, calling her sister in private.
Xia Yitong patted her on the back, thought for a moment, and said, "Sister Mu, I saw a script and wanted to take it, but Sister Su Han wouldn't let me."
Qin Mu lazily asked, "Whose is it? Tell me."
Xia Yitong: "Director Qin Hanlin's."
Qin Mu had heard of Qin Hanlin's name, he was a big shot, he was happy for her: "Yeah, that's good."
Xia Yitong: "But she was just a palace maid, she didn't have many roles, and she was even cannon fodder in the middle."
Qin Mu asked: "Where did he die? In the arms of the hero or the heroine?"
Xia Yitong remained silent and whispered, "He died in a corner where no one knows."
Qin Mu asked again: "Oh, then are there any close-ups or anything?"
Xia Yitong said: "I don't think so. Not many people would know if he died."
Qin Mu raised his head and looked at her, his eyebrows twisted into knots: "You are so famous? You want to play this? Just to make your fans feel sorry for your miserable ending? What's your ambition? My sister Xia Tong, when you went out today, did you close the door too quickly and squeeze your head? Or is it that you are carrying a watermelon on your shoulders? Come and knock it and see."
"..." Xia Yitong let her knock on her forehead. There was a dull sound, then she shook her head, licked her lips, and said softly, "It's not a watermelon if it's not squeezed on the head. I just want to exercise, but Sister Su Han said that if I take this movie, I won't be able to make money for the company in the next three months. The executives will not let me go, and she will also be scolded."
Qin Mu sat cross-legged, pulled the blanket over and hugged it in front of him, and sneered: "Isn't it? Even if I don't care about it, I know that my pocket money comes from you, and their bonuses also come from you. If you leave, well, at least I will have one less Lamborghini. Who will compensate me?"
"Sister Mu..." Xia Yitong looked at her eagerly, "I want to act."
"Hey." Qin Mu also looked at her. The two looked at each other for a while. Qin Mu couldn't help laughing first, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, if you want to act, act. I'll protect you and act for you, okay."
Mr. Qin is really rich and doesn't care about these trivial things.
"Thank you, Sister Mu." Xia Yitong blew her a kiss and stood up to leave, then she remembered something and turned around and said, "The star of this movie is Queen Lu. Ask Sister Youxuan if she needs me to get her an autograph or something."
"That's thoughtful. I thank you on behalf of Shang Youxuan. I'll ask her later." Qin Mu patted her perky buttocks lightly and said with a smile, "It's really elastic. Go quickly. You just came back and need to rest well. After apologizing, go to bed quickly."
Xia Yitong came out of Qin Mu's office and met a few newcomers in the company in the corridor, two men and two women. After she became famous, she was running around for announcements or filming on the crew. It was surprising that she didn't know them very well. But they obviously knew her and were very friendly, calling her "Teacher Xia" and "Teacher Xia" one by one. Xia Yitong nodded politely to them one by one, and then frowned silently. From the tone of these people's voices, if you didn't know them, you would think they knew each other very well.
"It's not that good. I think it's not as good as you, Cen Xi. You made so many bad movies, and you were completely forgotten. But you suddenly became famous two years ago. What do you think is the reason?"
"I heard that she got close to Chairman Qin. Didn't you see where she came out just now? And the suit she was wearing didn't match the T-shirt at all. It was obvious at first glance..."
"She looks so pure on the outside, but she's still the same on the inside..."
Xia Yitong's hearing was much better than that of ordinary people. The people gossiping behind her thought she couldn't hear and that's why they were so bold. They said one thing in front of her and another behind her back. Xia Yitong had seen this many times.
She sneered in her heart and stopped abruptly.
The discussions behind him stopped immediately.
One can imagine the excited expressions and anxiety on those people’s faces now.
Xia Yitong didn't look back, just curled her lips and continued walking with big strides.
"Sister Su Han, I'll give you the jacket back, thank you." Xia Yitong still had that kind smile on her face. She folded the jacket and handed it over. "I've talked to President Qin, and she agreed. She has withstood the firepower of the company's senior executives, so you won't be implicated."
Su Han's expression eased slightly, but he still wanted to ask for clarification, so he said, "You take this..."
Xia Yitong interrupted her gently: "I'm tired and want to go back and rest."
Su Han hummed vaguely and said nothing more, but Xia Yitong knew that the matter was completely over between them, and she felt relieved. Su Han's work ability was unquestionable, and she needed her.
Su Han paused and said, "Give me a video of the audition and I'll send it to the crew. It should be fine. They'll start filming in half a month. According to Director Qin's usual requirements, you'd better join the crew ten days in advance to familiarize yourself with the shooting environment and the script."
"Ahh!" Xia Yitong stood on tiptoe and then lifted up on his heels.
Su Han looked at her slowly.
Xia Yitong tried hard to suppress her emotions and didn't do anything out of control. She said calmly, "Ah, I understand."
She contacted her assistant that evening and rushed to the filming location the next day, only to hear a ridiculous and shocking piece of news when she arrived: no one, including the director, had expected that the leading actress would rather pay double the salary and go on strike without any warning.
Everything was ready, the east wind had come. But now, the film hadn't even started shooting, and the heroine was gone.
The problem was that Lu Yinbing had already joined the crew, and she had spent two months working hard to lose 30 kilograms. It was not possible to just put the filming on hold for the time being. She was so angry that she played Landlord for two hours straight, and her assistant got tendonitis when she was asked to admit defeat.
The director went crazy, yelling at his phone in the lounge, and the set was in complete silence.
Xia Yitong arrived at this time.
Her mood was a little... subtle.
