Chapter 169 Cai Yinong’s Search for Beauty

There’s a running joke in Hollywood: “Don’t make movies with kids or dogs.”

The reason is that most of them are difficult to work with, and they will have unexpected performances, which will either ruin the entire film and make everyone give up, or they will perform exceptionally well and steal the lead from the protagonist.

Now, the little boy who is the protagonist of the crew of "The Sixth Sense" belongs to the latter.

"Yes! Hailey, that's great, keep it up, you are the best acting kid I have ever seen! No one else!"

Wu Yuchen watched the scene again, his eyes were filled with surprise, and he praised it again. This was not encouragement, but words from the heart.

It is said that Zhang Zifeng's sister had great acting skills when she was a child, but compared with the Haley Joel Osment in front of her, she was really inferior. After he entered the state, his performance overshadowed Bruce Willis, and it even turned into him guiding Bruce Willis in this scene. The tone, expression, and movements are all on point, especially those deep blue eyes, which have a childlike innocence with an adult melancholy, as if they can really read people's hearts, it's amazing!

Bruce Willis was also very surprised. He didn't expect that the child actor he met this time was so good at acting. He, a big Hollywood star, was almost cast out of the role.

With his current status, he is the unbeatable leading actor in any crew. If he encounters a situation where he is suppressed for a scene, he will definitely go to the director to complain and lose his temper, and then ask the director to re-shoot the scene just now, so that it is beneficial to the scene. he himself.

But now, the person opposite is just a child of about 10 years old! How could this allow him to speak like this?

His great Bruce Willis couldn't even play a child, and he had to complain to the director. If this spreads out, people will laugh out loud!

Therefore, now Bruce Willis can only adjust his condition as much as possible to get himself into the best condition as soon as possible to play with this perverted child star.

This situation is naturally something that Wu Yuchen is happy to see happen. Healthy competition is conducive to the crew's filming. It was in this atmosphere that the crew's progress was smoother than he expected.

In the evening, after a day of shooting, just when Wu Yuchen returned to the house and wanted to put his arms around Jennifer Connelly and go into the bathroom to experience a milk bath, his cell phone rang.

Wu Yuchen looked at Cai Yinong's name displayed on his phone and knew that something must be up, so he patted Jennifer Connelly's butt and asked her to go in first to prepare.

After Wu Yuchen answered the phone, he didn't want to be polite anymore and asked directly: "Mr. Cai, what's the matter?"

"Director Wu, I have found a few candidates here and would like to ask for your opinion."

Wu Yuchen understood as soon as he heard that Cai Yinong was talking about the candidates for F4, and he became interested and said with a smile: "Tell me about it."

"I originally took a fancy to Wu Yanzu. His sister is here in Hong Kong Island and has learned Cantonese. The conditions are very good in all aspects. But he said that he was only interested in acting and didn't want to do any singing or dancing, so he He rejected me directly.”

Wu Yuchen didn't think it was strange when he heard this. Wu Yanzu had acted in his "If Love Has a Will", went to Hong Kong Island to find his sister, and was spotted by female director Zhang Wanting, who invited him to star in "City of Glass" The second male lead is Li Ming, and this is also the romance between Li Ming and Shu Qi.

Wu Yanzu is now quite famous and has no shortage of opportunities, so he is not interested in singing or dancing at all. In his previous life, he was a movie buff and had basically never touched a TV series. Now he has a higher starting point, so naturally it is the same.

"Then there is Yan Kuan. He is very interested in singing, but after he heard that he would take a leave of absence from school, he turned me down."

Yan Kuan's dream was to become a singer when he was a child, and he even attended an art school for training. But now that he is a student at the Shanghai Academy of Drama, he has taken acting as his main job. He had already been delayed for a while because of his role as Hua Wuque in "The Two Prides" In the course, I also waved goodbye to singing and dancing rap.

If you refuse, just refuse. Wu Yuchen doesn't force anything. This thing is about one's own will. But Wu Yuchen was not in a hurry. Since Cai Yinong called to report, it must be fruitful. He wanted to see who Cai Yinong had chosen.

Sure enough, the next moment Cai Yinong on the phone changed her tone and said with a smile:

"But I did find a few other good prospects. I was attending a party here in Hong Kong and met an amateur by chance. He was very handsome and could make girls crazy with just one look. I went to get in touch with him. , his name is Chen Guanxi, he is 18 years old, and he is currently studying in Maple Leaf Country..."

"Wait? What did you say his name was?" Wu Yuchen interrupted Cai Yinong in an instant.

"My name is Edison Chen. His English name is Edison. Do you know Director Wu?" Cai Yinong asked curiously.

Depend on! The great photographer, Brother Guanxi, the protagonist of the photo scandal, caused a huge earthquake in the Chinese entertainment industry and single-handedly changed the entire entertainment industry ecology. How could he not recognize him? !

Hearing this, Wu Yuchen couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, and then said: "His father, Chen Zemin, is the chairman of a listed company on Hong Kong Island. His grandfather is a senior official of the Hong Kong Island Education Department. He is the second generation of rich people and the third generation of officials."

"It turns out you really know Director Wu. I had a chat with him that day, and he was a little interested in becoming an idol. I want to actively strive to see if I can get him."

Cai Yinong smiled and said that she was very optimistic about Edison Chen's potential. That kind of handsomeness is definitely suitable for F4 and is the favorite of little girls.

Wu Yuchen made no comment for the time being, and then said: "Mr. Cai, is there anyone else?"

"Yes! I also found a good talent here in Wanwan, called Luo Zhixiang. He is 19 years old this year. He debuted through variety shows in 1995, but now the group has disbanded and he is alone. He has a good personal image and has a good foundation in talent... "

Cai Yinong was still introducing him, but Wu Yuchen's head started to hurt when he heard the name Luo Zhixiang.

Cai Yinong, you are really a fucking genius!

You want to go to heaven. Not only do you have a photography master, but you want to recruit a time management master?

Wu Yuchen let out a breath. To be honest, he had to admit that Cai Yinong's aesthetics was indescribable and beyond doubt. In terms of business quality alone, whether it is Edison Chen or Luo Zhixiang, these two people have no problem at all. They have outstanding abilities in all aspects and are absolutely high-quality idols.

But these two guys are not fuel-efficient lamps!

Based on the brilliant records of these two people in their previous lives, if they really enter F4, they will definitely be in trouble in the future.

Leaving aside scandals such as the photo scandal and multi-player sports, we won’t say whether they will be exposed.

First of all, the management of the company is difficult to manage. Edison Chen has a background, and Cai Yinong will definitely not be able to suppress him. Luo Zhixiang has changed jobs more than once, which is also very difficult to handle. He must be setting up F4 because he wants to make money steadily and try to pick some obedient children, rather than those who are likely to defect at first glance.

Moreover, Huang Xiaoming, an honest child, keeps calling him "teacher". He is worried that Xiaoming will be bullied. Do you think Xiaoming's baby will be able to withstand the care of these two people?

One is taking pictures of the baby, and the other is exercising with the baby. Maybe the two of them can have fun exchanging experiences, but that will be hard for Huang Xiaoming!

If Huang Xiaoming and these two people really form F4, don't call yourself Huang Xiaoming from now on, just change your name to Lu Daan!

Another point, if two people explode one after another in the future, even if one of them explodes, the outside world will definitely directly think that there is something wrong with your entire company. Otherwise, how could there be two incidents in a row like this? ? Then your whole company will stink.

Although Wu Yuchen also wanted to know what kind of sparks would be created if a master of photography and a master of time management were to combine, he did not want to take this risk, as it would cause him to get burned.

Wu Yuchen thought for a while and said: "Mr. Cai, I have heard of these two people. Edison Chen's background is not easy to deal with. Let's not talk about whether you can invite him or not. Even if he is signed in, you will not be able to control him. In the future, he Once you become popular, you will most likely go solo, we don’t want to do this kind of thankless thing.”

Cai Yinong opened his mouth when he heard this, but still wanted to fight for it: "Director Wu, but Edison Chen really has great potential. I think he can succeed the four kings of Hong Kong Island. Do you want to consider it again?"

"Mr. Cai, you listen to me on this matter. I know you want to influence him with sincerity, but the risk for him to fly alone is still too great. F4 must be a whole to be effective."

Cai Yinong couldn't help but sigh, knowing that what Wu Yuchen said made sense, and since Wu Yuchen was the big boss, she could only obey orders.

Then Wu Yuchen said: "Also, Luo Zhixiang is not good. I heard that he has some problems with his personal style. When we form a team, we must pay special attention to this aspect, otherwise it will easily lead to internal conflicts among the team members."

Cai Yinong was shocked when she heard this. She really didn't understand Luo Zhixiang's style in this regard.

Naturally, she would not know. After all, Luo Zhixiang's good brother Ou Di has not yet joined the army and has not entrusted his girlfriend to Luo Zhixiang's care.

Regarding this kind of thing, Wu Yuchen can only say that Oudi, you are really big-hearted. If "My Sassy Girl" is filmed in Wanwan, he must let Oudi play the deserter who was cheated in the film. , the experience is exactly the same!

Then Wu Yuchen thought for a while and said:

"Mr. Cai, when we choose people for F4 this time, you should try your best to choose from amateurs. It's best if the family background is ordinary. If you really like an artist who has already debuted, you should also inquire about his information carefully. We have selected These members can have personalities, but they should not be too rebellious and should be as easy to control as possible."

After listening to Wu Yuchen's request, Cai Yinong also found that the selection this time was really not easy. The two people she was interested in were rejected by Wu Yuchen, which made her a little embarrassed.

But now Wu Yuchen is the big boss, and he continues to achieve success and has high prestige. His words are easy to believe. And Cai Yinong also has to say that from the perspective of company management, what Wu Yuchen said makes sense. Even when running an idol group, risk management must be taken into consideration, which she had ignored before.

"Mr. Cai, I know this matter is not easy, but I still believe in your ability and vision! When F4 becomes F4, you will directly become the idol godmother!"

Finally, Wu Yuchen did not forget to encourage Cai Yinong and draw pictures for her.

"Don't worry, Director Wu, I've taken note of all your requests. I'll definitely be more attentive to selecting people in the future."

"Then thank you for your hard work!"

Wu Yuchen smiled and hung up the phone, thinking that it was better to ask Cai Yinong to report to him, otherwise this F4 would really go astray.

"Honey, are you okay yet?" At this time, Jennifer Connelly poked her head out of the bathroom, revealing her white and pink shoulders.

Wu Yuchen threw his phone back and got directly into the bathroom.

Wu Yuchen, the boss, has entered a happy hour, but Cai Yinong on the other side of the world has to get busy again, running around to select people for F4.

Cai Yinong has accumulated a lot of contacts in Hong Kong Island before, and she is still the general manager of a Hong Kong company. The rising ratings of "The Best of Us" in the Bay Area have also given her a lot of reputation. Now she is going out You feel confident when negotiating with people outside.

In Wanwan, a handsome young man in front of Cai Yinong waved his hand shyly to her:

"Me? I can't do it. I will enlist in the army in two months!"

"Enlist in the army?"

Cai Yinong's tooth ached when she heard it. She looked at Huo Jianhua in front of her. He met Wu Yuchen's requirements in every aspect, and it was also in line with her aesthetics. She didn't expect that he was going to serve in the military soon. What the hell is this!

After another failure with Huo Jianhua, Cai Yinong regained her energy and rushed to the next appointment, which was also the one she valued more.

Chung Han-liang is 24 years old this year and is a native of Hong Kong. He entered the wireless training class in 1992 and debuted as a singer in Wanwan in 1995. He is currently doing well in Wanwan. His contract with BMG Records will expire at the end of this year, one month from now, and the two parties are still negotiating. At this moment, he received a contact from a company in Hong Kong. The general manager even rushed to Wanwan to meet him in person, which made him feel good. At least his actions seemed sincere.

"Mr. Cai, I'm really sorry to trouble you. You have to come all the way from Hong Kong Island to Wanwan." Zhong Hanliang shook hands with Cai Yinong politely.

"Everywhere, transportation is very convenient now, and for you, this little trouble is nothing~" Cai Yinong said with a warm smile.

After the two parties chatted for a while, they got down to business. When Zhong Hanliang heard that Cai Yinong wanted to invite him to start a new group, he felt like giving up. After all, his personal development is pretty good now, so why is there any need to start a group?

Then Cai Yinong immediately said: "A Liang, you may think this is a step back for you, but I can guarantee you that I will definitely make you more popular than you are now."

Seeing that Zhong Hanliang still had a look of disbelief, she continued to persuade: "Ah Liang, in fact, our Hong Kong Island Company is not helpless. Have you seen the popular "The Two Prouds" that is currently being broadcast here in Wanwan?"

"Twins" was broadcast on Wanwan 10 days ago. The ratings have continued to rise and it has become a hit drama. Lin Zhiying has become famous again.

"Of course, but isn't this drama said to be produced in mainland China?" Zhong Hanliang asked curiously.

Cai Yinong showed a confident smile: "You can find out, the producer of this show is me. Our Hong Kong company is backed by Miracle Pictures in the mainland, and Miracle Pictures has director Wu Yuchen. Do you understand what I say? ?”

Zhong Hanliang's expression changed when he heard this. Wu Yuchen is now a famous director at home and abroad.

As soon as his "If Love Has God's Will" was released in Wanwan last month, it triggered a massive movie-watching craze. This kind of literary and fresh love movie is really a favorite of Wanwan people!

Not to mention that he also had two movies in Hollywood that grossed over 100 million at the box office.

When Zhong Hanliang heard this, his heart beat faster and he blurted out: "Mr. Cai, are you saying that if I join your company, I will have the opportunity to participate in Director Wu's film?"

Cai Yinong smiled softly, without nodding or shaking his head:

"I can't guarantee this. Director Wu has always made the decision on his own casting, but he has a better chance than outsiders, right? Moreover, if there is another work like "The Two Prouds" in the future, I will be able to do it without Director Wu. Make the final decision on your leading actor."

Chung Han-liang was not disappointed after listening to it. Wu Yuchen's works were indeed a bit far away from him, and he also knew that his acting skills might still be a lot behind. But it would be great to have "Peerless Two Prouds". Now he has reached a bottleneck as a singer, and he feels that it is difficult to make a breakthrough. He is thinking about transforming into an actor, so Cai Yinong's words have attracted him a lot. force.

"Mr. Cai, this is not a trivial matter. I want to think about it carefully." Zhong Hanliang said solemnly.

"Yes, but Aliang, now that Hong Kong Island has returned, the mainland has a population of more than one billion. This market is much larger than Hong Kong Island. Smart people can see the future direction." Cai Yinong said leisurely.

After hearing Cai Yinong's words, Zhong Hanliang couldn't help but feel a little more cautious.

After the two parted, Cai Yinong couldn't help but smile. Finally, it looked like she was in trouble this time. It wasn't easy for her!

After that, she met two more people in Wanwan.

One is Zhang Zhiyao, who is 23 years old this year. He was born in Wanwan and grew up overseas. He made his debut in Hong Kong. He is proficient in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and other languages. He can switch skillfully between Cantonese and Mandarin. He is a veritable language genius. Although he has made his debut now, his reputation is much lower than that of Chung Han-liang. If you want to poach him, you can always take him under his wing. It just depends on whether you can convince him.

The other is Wu Kequn, who is currently studying at Wanwan University of the Arts. He is 19 years old this year. He has a good image, good temperament, and outstanding musical talent, which attracted Cai Yinong.

After talking to these three people in succession, Cai Yinong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Before coming to Wanwan, she actually met an artist from a wireless training class on Hong Kong Island named Wu Zhuoxi.

Of these four people, Zhong Hanliang and Wu Zhuoxi are from Hong Kong Island, and Zhang Zhiyao and Wu Kequn are from Wanwan. If one person from each place agrees, the goal of having one member each from the mainland, Hong Kong Island, and Wanwan can be achieved.

At that time, the fourth person will have more room to pick.

(PS: In the old book, I formed an F4 team of Wu Nianzu, Yan Kuan, Huo Jianhua and Feng Zhelun, and also arranged an H4 team of villains Chen Guanxi, Luo Zhixiang, Yu Wenle and Lin Feng, so these 8 people are not I will consider the scope this time to prevent old book friends from complaining about me. You can let me know who you want to choose, and I will consider it as appropriate.)
