Chapter 140 From now on, the road of black and red
With the opening of the Cannes Film Festival.
The little gangbang also led the "Night Banquet" couple group to the beach in Cannes.
From now on, he can no longer be called a domestically renowned director, but an internationally renowned director.
Many white-faced foreigners with blond hair vied to shake hands with Feng Xiaogang.
Wu Yan from the couple group and his girlfriend Lisa S showed off their love.
Li Chen's artist Zhou Xun also brought her brother Da Qi to show their love.
And she boasted: I will definitely marry this man!
Li Chen could only shake his head and sigh: I wish you a long life.
Given Zhou Xun's current deep love for him, Li Chen would not do anything that would be thankless.
Only the international chapter is left alone.
When asked by the media why the young master of the Fok family in Hong Kong did not show up, Zhang Ziyi immediately turned unhappy.
"The Banquet" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" arrived in Cannes one after another. Both Wang Zhonglei and Wong Pak-ming looked very proud and proud.
The domestic entertainment industry was also busy, with the focus on the casting of Rongchen Pictures.
After a month of exploration in the fog, the casting of the three dramas was finally revealed.
Sina Entertainment News
"The two female protagonists of "Father's Love Is Like a Mountain 2" have been decided to be Fan Qiaoqiao and Chen Shu."
"The main actors of Bad Genius have been confirmed to be Tang Yan, Luo Jin, Shu Chang, and Xiang Zuo, who played the godson of Mr. Qin in Huo Yuanjia."
"A youth romance movie adapted from the best-selling novel "So Young" has aroused endless debate online about the male lead."
"The much-anticipated male lead, Chen Xiaozheng, will unexpectedly be played by mainland actor Pan Yueming, who starred as Xu Xian in the recent hit drama The Legend of White Snake."
"School beauty Ruan Guan is played by Jing Tian, the heroine of Xu Zheng's music video, and Lin Jing is played by Hu Ge, a popular young actor."
The casting sparked heated discussions among netizens as soon as it was announced.
"How did you choose the role? Chen Xiaozheng chose Pan Yueming? Is he blind? Am I, Huang Xiaoming, not as bright as him or what?"
"Chen Shu was able to squeeze out Zhao Wei and Xu Qing! He is indeed unconventional and worth pondering!"
"Fan Qiaoqiao? Li Chen wouldn't have any other ideas, would he? Shen Jiayi has a strong rival, and her position as the queen is in danger!"
"Li Chen can't wait to get rid of the plastic surgery and support before it's clear. This is the true nature of men!"
"Who is this Jing Tian? Xu Zheng filmed a music video for her? And Li Chen also bought into her?"
"I checked Baidu! Her family background is unknown, and I understood it instantly. It's not surprising that Li Chen bought her account. Isn't Li Yanhong going to buy her account as well?"
"Behind every newcomer who doesn't look like a newcomer, stands a man whose name you only know!"
Li Chen’s current situation is that any move he makes can draw applause.
There was also no shortage of abuse.
He is aware of the fact that he has touched someone else's cake.
Rongchen Films' casting decision made some happy while others worried.
Pan Yueming didn't know how to comfort his girlfriend.
Having just signed a contract with Jinxiu Mingzuan, he could only look straight ahead and drive carefully.
Dong Jie, who was sitting on the passenger seat, crossed his arms, turned his head and frowned, "Do you think Director Li has any problem with me?"
"In the past few years, I have never been selected for his company's casting!"
Pan Yueming didn't dare to look at his girlfriend, as if he had done something wrong.
They went to an audition together, he passed but she didn't.
He didn't even dare to show any joy, for fear of upsetting his girlfriend.
"Well, Xiaojie, you're overthinking it. Director Li hasn't even met you, so how could he have any opinion about you?"
"If they really have a problem, it's probably with Mou Girl, not just you."
After Pan Yueming said this, Dong Jie felt better.
It seems that Zhang Ziyi has never appeared in any production of Rongchen Pictures.
Compared with the other two already very popular actresses of "Mou's Girls", Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, she is definitely far inferior.
But she is not as good as any other, but better than any other, and she is known as the "national first love".
After signing with Wang Jiawei's company, he received many film offers.
The movie "Dragon Tiger Gate" in which she starred is also about to be released.
But Director Li seemed to have no interest in her at all.
She had met Director Li twice, but Director Li always gave her the feeling of keeping his distance.
As if she was a monster.
Fan Qiaoqiao came to Jinxiu Mingzuan with his agent.
After signing the contract, Fan Qiaoqiao was in a good mood and sent his agent away.
Then he followed Yang Siwei to Li Chen's office.
When they reached the door, Yang Siwei smiled at the assistant and asked, "Is the boss here?"
"Boss Yang, Tang Yan and Luo Jin just went in."
Yang Siwei thought about it and decided that Xiao Fan couldn’t know about Tangtang and Luo Jin’s affairs.
Then he said to Fan Qiaoqiao, "Go sit with me first and come back later."
Fan Qiaoqiao had no doubts, nodded, and followed Yang Siwei to her office.
In Li Chen's office, Luo Jin smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Director Li for your help!"
"Okay, sit down." Li Chen walked around the desk and went to the sofa beside and sat down.
Tang Yan and Luo Jin waited for Li Chen to sit down before sitting opposite Li Chen.
Li Chen poured a cup of tea for each of them, and Luo Jin took it with both hands.
He took a sip: "Good tea."
Tang Yan bumped into Luo Jin and smiled, "Thank you, boss."
Li Chen smiled and said, "You're welcome. I didn't choose Luo Jin just for your sake. I still recognize Luo Jin's acting skills."
Li Chen was telling the truth. Luo Jin's crying scene in the movie "Ashes" deserves at least 8 points.
Luo Jin immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Director Li, what you said is very heartwarming."
Li Chen smiled and said, "Okay, we are already so familiar with each other, don't be so polite."
"Don't be awkward when you see me in the future! The truth about Tangtang, the rumored girlfriend, has been revealed."
Tang Yan smiled, and Luo Jin was a little embarrassed: "What did Director Li say? I, I didn't..."
Li Chen sneered: "Okay, no need to explain, we are all men, I understand."
"After we start filming, don't steal the spotlight too much. If you steal Tangtang's spotlight as the heroine, I will cut your role!"
Tang Yan covered her mouth and chuckled, then bumped into Luo Jin again: "Did you hear what my boss said?"
Luo Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if Director Li doesn't tell me, I know what to do."
This "Bad Genius" is obviously the masterpiece prepared by Director Li for Tangtang.
He is not stupid, how could he possibly take over the show?
After chatting for a while, the two knew that Li Chen was busy, so they got up and left.
After a while, Yang Siwei and Fan Qiaoqiao arrived.
Fan Qiaoqiao put on light makeup today, and simply wore a white headband and a white dress.
Her appearance is elegant and plain, but her natural beauty cannot be concealed.
As soon as he came in, he took the initiative to extend his hand and said to Li Chen with a smile: "Director Li, I finally have the opportunity to act in your play."
Li Chen shook her hand and said, "Sit down. You have to thank Yang Siwei for this."
Yang Siwei and Fan Qiaoqiao sat down. She was not surprised at all that the boss knew the tricks in casting.
With so many people in the company, the boss will never lack people to tell him about it.
Fan Qiaoqiao and Yang Siwei smiled at each other. Yang Siwei said, "Boss, please don't say that. Without your final nod, Xiao Fan would not have been able to pass."
Fan Qiaoqiao smoothed his long hair and quickly added with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, Siwei should be thanked, and Director Li should be thanked even more."
"I think it's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Please give me a chance to host you two and have a simple meal today."
"Forget about today, let's do it another day. You've got the script, and the filming will start in about ten days, so you should familiarize yourself with the script."
"That's fine. Let's listen to Director Li. There's a long way to go."
Fan Qiaoqiao didn't force it, anyway, there would always be opportunities during the filming. Li Chen didn't need to remind him of other things, and Fan Qiaoqiao didn't dare to make a scene or anything like that.
Yang Siwei must have explained everything to her.
After a few words in Li Chen's office, Fan Qiaoqiao and Yang Siwei came out.
In the elevator, Fan Qiaoqiao frowned and asked, "Do you feel that Director Li looks at me in a weird way?"
Yang Siwei couldn't help but laugh: "Are you okay? You mean my boss likes you? But your ghostly appearance is indeed very attractive."
Fan Qiaoqiao pushed Yang Siwei and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I always feel that Director Li's eyes when he looks at me are very contradictory. How should I put it? It seems like regret, but also like pity."
Yang Siwei was not as sensitive as Fan Qiaoqiao, so he nodded and said, "Maybe. Think about it, you have been unlucky enough this year."
"Keeping a mistress, having an abortion, having plastic surgery, being a big shot, lip-syncing, you are everywhere! Maybe my boss really has sympathy."
Fan Qiaoqiao felt warm in his heart, but he also felt something was wrong.
However, she was still very grateful that Rongchen Pictures helped her when she was in dire straits.
Yang Siwei sent Fan Qiaoqiao to the first floor and said, "I'll just send you here. Don't push yourself so hard. Count how many plays you've taken on this year. You've almost caught up with Brother Hua."
Fan Qiaoqiao smiled and counted on her fingers. With the addition of Li's "Father's Love 2" and two more films to be filmed, "Apple" and "Flash Point", she has taken on six movies in the past few years.
There is another TV series called "The Legend of the Gods: Fengming Qishan". When Yang Siwei said this, it really was like that.
Moreover, with Director Li’s consistent style and strength, "Father's Love 2" will definitely appear at the film festival.
"Apple", directed by another director Li, is also an award-winning film.
As long as she is shortlisted, she will have at least two films next year that will allow her to enter the international stage.
When she thought of this, she felt that all the hard work was worth it.
When Li Chen entered the house in the evening, Miss Liu had been waiting for a long time.
When he saw Li Chen come in, he ignored him and just kept reading a book.
Sit quietly on the sofa and read.
Li Chen smiled and walked over to sit next to her.
The girl's fragrance melted away half of his day's fatigue.
"What's wrong, Miss Liu? Who offended you? Could it be Director Li?" Li Chen said with a smile.
"Except you? Who else? Tell me, what was your thinking behind choosing Fan Qiaoqiao?" Miss Liu put down the book, looking unhappy.
Li Chen thought it was something else, it seemed that his girlfriend was concerned about the comments on the Internet.
Li Chen held her hand and said with a smile: "I was wondering what it was, just this?"
"Is it just this matter? Did you see how netizens scolded you, saying that you are obsessed with sex and that you are the lower half of the world?"
She was too embarrassed to say the following words, but in fact she believed that Li Chen would not have any ulterior motives.
But you can choose someone else, why must you choose Fan Qiaoqiao who is surrounded by negative news?
Or she could have chosen Fan Qiaoqiao for other dramas not directed by her boyfriend, but she chose Fan Qiaoqiao for the one directed by herself.
Wouldn't that clearly tell the outside world that Li Chen stands on Fan Qiaoqiao's side?
Li Chen was very patient: "Then if I don't choose Fan Qiaoqiao, no one will scold me?"
Miss Liu was stunned, thinking to herself that her boyfriend was right.
Ever since Li Chen won the Palme d'Or and became famous.
No matter which drama he stars in, his casting always attracts much attention from the industry and the media.
No matter who he chooses, there will always be fans of the artists who were not chosen who will criticize Li Chen.
Just like he has been subjected to countless insults and slanders since his debut.
"The Story of a Noble Family", "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", and later "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
Isn’t she criticized enough? Even now that “Those Years” is a big hit, there are still people who can’t stop watching it.
Seeing her stunned, Li Chen smiled and said, "There are not only flowers and applause in the center of the stage, but also boos and jeers!"
"If you can't figure this out, just stay at home as Mrs. Li and don't go out of the house." Li Chen pinched her cute nose.
Miss Liu finally reacted and held Li Chen's hand: "Don't change the subject, you haven't told me why you chose her?"
Li Chen disagreed: "Of course I chose her because she is popular. Even if she is popular, she is still popular. People who are popular will be subject to more gossip."
"What's more, there are three people, Bao Guo, Chen Shu, and Brother Hua. Brother Hua is known as the box office poison."
"Teacher Bao Guo and Chen Shu are from the TV industry, so their box office appeal remains to be tested."
"Should I find a topic figure like Fan Qiaoqiao to increase attention?"
"Also, Fan Qiaoqiao has a lot of fans, which will only benefit the box office."
Miss Liu felt much more relieved now. She tapped Li Chen's nose with one finger and said, "Why are you so thoughtful? Look at what you can do!"
Li Chen grabbed Miss Liu and said, "How can I protect you from the wind and rain if I don't have much time?"
Miss Liu panicked and quickly put her arms around Li Chen's neck: "What are you doing? The servants are here! Put me down quickly."
"This is my home. Do I have to worry about the servants when I'm being intimate with my girlfriend?"
Li Chen ignored the looks of others and carried Miss Liu to the bedroom on the second floor.
He entered the bedroom, gently placed Miss Liu on the bed, and kissed her.
One hand skillfully unbuttoned Miss Liu's jeans, and the light pink ultra-thin lace panties made Li Chen breathe faster.
The other hand was not idle either.
He casually lifted up her white short-sleeved shirt, and the pink bra set made Miss Liu's skin look even smoother.
Miss Liu subconsciously curled up her plump calves.
She said shyly, "You, your eyes are red..."
Li Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense!
Kisses fell on Miss Liu's neck and face like raindrops.
Instantly, Miss Liu's breathing rate also quickened, and she closed her eyes and fumbled to unbutton Li Chen's shirt.
"Well, turn off the lights."
"No! If I turn it off, I won't be able to see you anymore!"
The two of them seemed to be in a vacuum, unable to see anything except each other.
After a long time, Miss Liu, who was sweating profusely, snuggled tightly in Li Chen's arms, not wanting to move at all.
Li Chen really wanted to smoke a cigarette at this moment, but he had quit smoking and drinking in his two lifetimes.
After kissing Miss Liu on the forehead, the room instantly became quiet, with only the sound of their two heartbeats.
Li Chen gently stroked her flawless white face with one hand and touched her long eyelashes with his index finger.
At this moment, Miss Liu was like a docile cat, without any aggressiveness.
She let her boyfriend's hand stroke her face.
She enjoyed this caress very much and could feel her boyfriend's deep love for her.
She also quietly drew circles on her boyfriend's chest.
Neither of them spoke, enjoying the rare quiet moment.
The next day, no one expected it.
The day after Fan Qiaoqiao received the film contract from Rongchen Pictures, he announced to the media that the film would be released in three days.
Under the supervision of the media and Chang'an Notary Office staff, he personally appeared at the Sino-Japanese Hospital for a plastic surgery appraisal.
Give a true explanation to those who care about her.
When Miss Liu got up early and heard the news, she exclaimed: "She is so brave!"
Li Chen was speechless. Is this courage? It was more like stupidity.
A plastic surgery appraisal may help you be labeled as someone who was born with a celebrity face.
But how do you expect those thousands of female stars who have undergone plastic surgery to deal with it?
Do they dare to identify it? I'm afraid only Miss Liu dares to do so.
Looking at the entire entertainment industry, there are only a handful of hands that can still be found looking the same as they did ten years after their debut.
As for the people other than that pair of hands, they don’t dare to identify them, but do they still dare not hate you, Fan Xiaopang, in their hearts?
Fan Xiaopang's road to fame and fortune has finally taken shape.
If you don’t update on time and don’t ask for leave, you will be put in the dark room.
