China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

After Liu Ye came back from the set after filming your movie, he kept yelling and called everyone in our class over to treat him to dinner. But later he got drunk, hugged the people next to him and started crying, saying that he was a freshman Life was not easy, I felt so miserable, my eyes were swollen from crying, and the next day I wore a pair of sunglasses to class and was scolded severely by Teacher Chang~

In the room, when Wu Yuchen asked, Zeng Li smiled and told him about Liu Ye and Chen Minghao. Wu Yuchen shook his head and laughed: This guy is still so funny!

Then Wu Yuchen said with a smile: Lizi, let me show you something good.

What? Zeng Li asked curiously.

Wu Yuchen took out a thick stack of scripts and handed them to Zeng Li, and it turned out to be The Mansion Gate.

This is... Zeng Li asked curiously, but she was also vaguely aware of what Wu Yuchen meant.

A very good script. I will accompany you today, and you will read the script first before talking about it. Wu Yuchen said with a smile.

Students like Zeng Li and others at school are not very clear about the Old Mansion Gate incident. But she believed Wu Yuchen's words, nodded, took the script and began to read it carefully.

Wu Yuchen is going to talk to Guo Baochang in the next two days about The Mansion. Such a classic drama has many good characters, and he wants to give Zeng Li a chance.

It is undeniable that the Yangtze River Opera has strict requirements on students and has a solid foundation, but lack of optical skills may not be a good thing for actors.

Although the Central Opera Department was very strict and did not allow Da Er to take any roles casually, if the director was Guo Baochang, then they would definitely let him go.

Looking at Zeng Li reading the script, he remembered that in his previous life, Zeng Li didn't take a single role during his four years in college and stayed in school obediently for four years. One of the opportunities closest to her was to choose the heroine in My Father and Mother. Lao Mouzi went to school to look for Zeng Li but couldn't find her, so Zhang Ziyi picked her up.

But to be honest, Wu Yuchen said that even if Zeng Li was there at the time, he might not be able to really compete with Zhang Ziyi.

Putting aside Zhang Ziyi's messy gossip, in terms of talent, Zhang Ziyi also has great advantages.

Many people may think that Zhang Ziyi is not that beautiful or stunning.

But her face is exactly the type that directors and photographers like the most. It is said that there are no blind spots in the lens at 360 degrees, and there will be no flaws at any angle on the big screen.

Zeng Li is the opposite of Zhang Ziyi. She is very beautiful in real life and was named the school beauty by the boys as soon as she entered school. However, in the camera, her face shape is not as pleasing to the eye as Zhang Ziyi's, and she loves styling and makeup.

Zhang Ziyi is really blessed by God, and she is considered a natural leader among actors!

But now that Wu Yuchen is here, he naturally wants to get more opportunities for Zeng Li, and The Mansion Gate he is about to invest in is undoubtedly a good choice.

After Zeng Li got the script of The Mansion Gate, he was completely immersed in it without realizing it. From morning to night, the whole day passed.

At this moment, a big hand blocked her sight. She was about to pull it away, but the script was taken away.

Hey! I haven't finished reading yet! Zeng Li said hurriedly.

Okay, let's rest for a while first, don't rush this for a while. Wu Yuchen said with a smile.

Zeng Li frowned and pouted. She was mesmerized at the moment, completely immersed in the story of Mansion Gate. Wu Yuchen's interruption made her feel as if she had been scratched by a cat.

Tell me first, what do you think of this script? Is it good? Wu Yuchen asked.

Okay! Great! It's no worse than those classic scripts we rehearsed in school! Everyone is so vivid, as if they were in that era. Zeng Li said with great certainty.

Wu Yuchen smiled and nodded, then continued to ask: Then which character is your favorite?

Zeng Li hesitated after hearing this. She liked many characters in it, whether it was the second wife of the Bai family who was extremely intelligent and decisive, or the daring and upright Bai Jingqi... she liked them all.

Seeing her like this, Wu Yuchen tapped her on the head gently: Lizi, I'm asking you which role you want to play! Don't say anything about the second wife of the Bai family. You can't play this role, and neither is your age.

Zeng Li was fascinated by the book just now, and only then did she react when she heard what Wu Yuchen said, and quickly asked: Do you want to film this script?

Wu Yuchen shook his head: It's not me. This is director Guo Baochang's half-life effort. He can only direct it himself, but I will try my best to help you get a role.

Zeng Li was very happy when she heard what Wu Yuchen said. After all, as an actor, if you can participate in such a good drama, it will undoubtedly be a very happy and happy thing.

She was silent for a moment, carefully considering the roles she could play in her mind. After a while, she met Wu Yuchen's eyes and said, I want to play Yang Jiuhong.

Yang Jiuhong is the second concubine of the male protagonist Bai Jingqi. She was born in a brothel and fell in love with Bai Jingqi. She was unwilling to accept fate and yearned for freedom. However, after entering the mansion, she was always looked down upon by the second grandmother of the Bai family because she was born in a brothel. As a result, her own daughter was taken away from her at an early age and spent the rest of her life. Live in resentment and loneliness, die in regret.

Wu Yuchen nodded. He didn't say anything about Zeng Li's choice. She could indeed play this role with her image. Zeng Liyan is pretty enough to play the leading role in a brothel. At the same time, she plays the role of middle-aged Yang Jiuhong. Her slightly longer face in the camera also has a sense of sadness and meanness.

In the previous life, Yang Jiuhong was played by He Saifei, but since Zeng Li wants to play this role now, Wu Yuchen must be on Zeng Li's side. Moreover, he also cast He Saifei as the heroine of The Years of Passion before. She was a well-received and award-winning role, so it was not a bad treatment.

…

Guo Baochang is in a good mood recently. Since the last time a wave of people heard that he was hospitalized and came to see him, the stolen script for Mansion Gate was soon returned and the contract issue was resolved.

What made him even more happy was that Chen Baoguo told him that even the investment had been secured, and Wu Yuchen, who had recently become famous, was willing to invest in him to support his filming of The Mansion Gate.

The heart disease was gone and his body recovered quickly. He had completed the discharge procedures and moved back home to recuperate.

But he waited and waited, and after waiting for several days, Wu Yuchen didn't contact him. He kept muttering in his heart, couldn't it be that the young man just wanted to have fun with his words, and now he regrets it?

Thinking of this, Guo Baochang couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly asked someone for Wu Yuchen's contact information and called him.

Hello? Is this Wu Yuchen? Yes, I am Guo Baochang, I...what? Are you downstairs at our house? Oh, okay, okay!

After Guo Baochang opened the door, within half a minute, he saw Wu Yuchen appearing at the door of his house, accompanied by a very beautiful girl.

Master Bao, congratulations on your discharge from the hospital. Here are the skin care products I brought you~

Wu Yuchen raised what he was carrying, and then introduced: This is Zeng Li, majoring in performance at Yangzhou Opera.

Zeng Li also greeted Guo Baochang respectfully.

When Guo Baochang saw Wu Yuchen bringing a beautiful girl to see him, his heart turned, but he warmly welcomed the two into the house.

After he asked his wife to serve tea to the two of them, he smiled and said: Wu Yuchen, you don't have to open your mouth and shut up and follow them to call me Master Bao~

Wu Yuchen smiled and said: I call Teacher Xie teacher, but if we talk about seniority, I really call you master!

Guo Baochang smiled and waved his hand:

They are praising me. In fact, I didn't do anything back then. Their talents are visible to the naked eye. They can succeed without me. The most I do is provide them with logistical support. Don't follow them. Let’s talk about our own business, just call me Teacher Guo.”

Guo Baochang has a clear conscience. Now he is begging Wu Yuchen to invest money in him. He cannot show off in front of him, even though he has the qualifications.

That's okay, Teacher Guo!

Wu Yuchen smiled and nodded, and after greeting Guo Baochang for a few words, he got to the main topic:

Teacher Guo, I am here to talk to you about The Mansion. I have read the script and it is very good. I want to invest in your play. Are you willing?

When Guo Baochang heard this, he smiled from the bottom of his heart:

Yes! Why don't you want to? This is what I want. You don't know, I almost broke my legs trying to find investors before. Since 1995, I have looked for 70 or 80 companies. I'm not bragging, just The total amount of drinking together is several tons, but I didn’t expect that I would be tricked in the end. If you hadn’t helped me, ugh!”

Then Guo Baochang waved his hand: Not to mention the spoiler, Wu Yuchen, you are willing to vote for my Mansion Gate, I sincerely thank you! But I have to say something up front. I filmed Mansion Gate and I didn't want to be so hasty. After all, I want to deliver everything in the script 100%.

In the past, there was a mantra in the old capital: the horse Juyuan on the head, the Neilian Sheng on the feet, the eight auspicious things on the body, and the four constants around the waist.

Ma Juyuan's hat, Nei Liansheng's cloth shoes, Badaxiang's clothes, Si Daheng's receipts, I will make these as they are.

After Wu Yuchen heard this, he finally understood why Guo Baochang approached so many TV stations and film and television companies, but in the end they all got tired of it and were unwilling to invest in him. According to his way of filming, the cost is really unaffordable.

Wu Yuchen smiled: Mr. Guo, we are all directors, so I understand your feelings, and I also admire your spirit of striving for excellence. I also agree with what you said about restoring the original scene of the mansion gate. In this way, I I’ll invest 20 million for you.”

When Guo Baochang heard this, he immediately beamed. 20 million was twice the 10 million that the TV station was willing to give him!

Just as he was about to say something, Wu Yuchen also extended his hand:

Mr. Guo, please listen to me first. I personally like The Mansion Gate very much and am willing to invest so much, but my company also has a group of employees who ate with me, so it is impossible for me to spend such a large amount of money. Just leave it alone after investing. I definitely want to make money, at least not to lose too much.

The 20 million was agreed upon, and I won’t lose you a penny, but it can’t be any more. It's just so much money. If you feel you have enough funds, you can get as many as you want, whether it's Ma Juyuan's hat or Nei Liansheng's cloth shoes. But if you don't have enough money for shooting, don't come to me again to cry about poverty.

Guo Baochang opened his mouth, and then thought about his experience in the past few years. Now he finally met Wu Yuchen who was willing to invest 20 million in him. What else could he ask for? Wu Yuchen's actions were so benevolent and righteous that they were worthy of Chen Baoguo's description of righteousness.

At the same time, Guo Baochang also secretly made up his mind. If a director like his disciple is willing to help him, he can't be too willful. Just like he said, he can't let others pay too much. He wants to make more use of the connections he has accumulated over the years and recruit as many good actors as possible to participate!

Wu Yuchen saw that Guo Baochang had no objection, and then grinned and said:

Mr. Guo, as for actors, I have absolutely no objection to Mr. Chen playing Mr. Bai Qi. But I have a small request...

Wu Yuchen took Zeng Li's hand, asked her to stand up, and then said to Guo Baochang:

After Lizi read the script of The Mansion Gate, she fell in love with the role of Yang Jiuhong. She doesn't think about food or tea. She has trouble sleeping and eating, and can't sleep at night. Can she play this role?

Zeng Li immediately bowed to Guo Baochang in cooperation.

Guo Baochang just saw Wu Yuchen coming with a beautiful girl, and he was prepared in his heart, knowing that there was a high probability that he would get a role. It was not like he had never experienced this kind of thing, even in that era.

But let Zeng Li play Yang Jiuhong...

Guo Baochang showed a trace of embarrassment on his face and said, Wu Yuchen, is this too young?

Wu Yuchen smiled and said:

Teacher Guo, I'm not worried about age. After all, Teacher Chen Baoguo also played the role from 18 to old. When the time comes, Mistress Bai will also have to play from 18 to full of white hair. In the end, she has to rely on makeup. The role of Yang Jiuhong It happens to be from a young girl to middle age, so there is nothing wrong with Riko playing the role.

On the other hand, in terms of acting, Teacher Guo needs to put in more effort to guide her. Lizi has a great attitude, so you can scold me if you need to!

Wu Yuchen said, and also stood up and hugged Guo Baochang's fists.

Guo Baochang was silent for a moment, and then looked at Zeng Li in front of him. She was really beautiful, and it would definitely make sense to play Yang Jiuhong, the second concubine who was born as a kiln sister. Coming from a Chinese opera background, he should have a good foundation, and people have said that he is allowed to train his acting skills, so his attitude should be no problem.

Then he thought about the 20 million that Wu Yuchen invested. After investing so much money, is it too much to include an actress who is not the first female lead?

Guo Baochang knew in his heart that this was his best choice. This time he was hospitalized and he felt that his health was not as good as before. If he waited a few more years, what if he couldn't take pictures even if he wanted to?

Guo Baochang smiled: Okay, Director Wu, I also think Zeng Li is quite suitable.

Wu Yuchen and Zeng Li looked at each other, then smiled at Guo Baochang: Okay, Teacher Guo, then this matter is settled, we can sign the contract at any time!

After leaving Guo Baochang's house, Wu Yuchen walked with Zeng Li in his arms. Seeing her happy look at this time, he couldn't help but laugh, and then told her:

I introduced you to Director Guo Baochang. The actors who will be invited for this drama will definitely be the top actors in the industry. Some may not be famous, but their acting skills are all top-notch.

When you join the group, lower your attitude and be sure to study hard and practice hard. This is really a very good opportunity for you. You will have to play with Teacher Chen Baoguo when the time comes. I will go and talk to you tomorrow and let him guide you well. besides……

Zeng Li saw Wu Yuchen constantly talking to her about various things, and seeing how he cared about her, her heart felt even sweeter, and she couldn't help but tiptoe and kiss him on the face.

Wu Yuchen was stunned for a moment, then held her face in his hands and responded enthusiastically.

…

The director of the Mansion Gate crew must be Guo Baochang, and Kang Honglei, who had been very interested in him before, took the initiative to petition to be the assistant director. Naturally, Wu Yuchen would not allow it, and Guo Baochang had no objection.

However, this drama is not something that can be shot immediately. It will take a while just to set up the scenery and prepare for all aspects. It will be good to start filming this year and next year.

None of this has anything to do with Wu Yuchen. He has already boarded a plane to the United States.
