Chapter 52 Fox Spirit?
Chapter 52 Fox Spirit?
At this moment, Zhen Liang's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Wang Xiaohao's arm, pressing her whole body against him, her voluptuous and sexy figure clearly visible.
She whispered, "How about we team up and make that movie, 'Love Letter'?"
I think I'm quite suited to making art films; actually, I have a real artistic flair!
Wang Xiaohao looked at her face, which was as beautiful as a peach blossom, and finally hesitated, saying, "Love Letter won't do. The film's aloof and detached style doesn't suit you..."
While Zhen Liang was grinding her teeth in anger, Wang Xiaohao said, "I do have another project that would be perfect for you to act in."
Zhen Liang asked with interest, "What kind of subject matter?"
Wang Xiaohao exclaimed, "A stunning beauty!"
Zhen Liang angrily retorted, "You want me to raise a vixen?"
But when she saw Wang Xiaohao looking at her innocently, Zhen Liang immediately realized that she had a mild allergic reaction.
The main reason is that many people say she is too beautiful and too alluring, making her the perfect actress to play a vixen who could topple kingdoms!
So Zhen Liang hurriedly apologized, rubbing her body against Wang Xiaohao.
She said, "Director Wang, please continue. I won't interrupt!"
Wang Xiaohao said, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime! A woman who is too beautiful, even if she has not done anything wrong, in times of war and chaos, her beauty itself is a fault!"
That's right!
Wang Xiaohao was talking about the beautiful legend of Sicily!
Although Zhen Liang and Marina in her previous life were completely different types of women.
But Wang Xiaohao really felt that Zhen Liang was very suitable for the role!
Zhen Liang listened intently as Wang Xiaohao recounted the general plot, her eyes practically glazed over.
A man's talent is a woman's best aphrodisiac.
Listening to Wang Xiaohao write such a story almost without thinking, after only meeting her once, Zhen Liang was truly impressed.
The key point is that she also felt that the female lead in the film was perfect for her to play.
This could very well become the most iconic role of his film career.
For an actor, having the opportunity to play such a role even once in a lifetime is already a rare stroke of luck!
Zhen Liang felt that this movie was definitely the only chance in her life she might have to play a landmark role.
She absolutely has to find a way to get it done quickly!
At this point, she was mentally prepared to pay any price!
Even if Wang Xiaohao were an old man, she would put up with it for the sake of this movie!
However, Wang Xiaohao turned out to be a young director, and even more talented than she had imagined.
Zhen Liang wanted to get Wang Xiaohao under her thumb even more!
However, precisely because she had developed a long-term relationship with Wang Xiaohao, she found it difficult to resort to overly blatant methods.
"Is this okay, Director? Let's shoot this. You hurry up and write the script, and we'll shoot this."
You don't need to worry about the funding; I have a way to get it.
As for the profits, how about we split them 50/50?
Zhen Liang took the initiative to grab Wang Xiaohao's arm near her headlights, making a subtle, almost imperceptible touch.
Wang Xiaohao seems to have gained an advantage, yet he also seems to have gained nothing at all.
Of course, if Wang Xiaohao is truly infatuated and wants to take advantage of her, Zhen Liang won't refuse. However, Wang Xiaohao will likely face serious consequences later.
Getting a bargain from a top-tier celebrity isn't so easy!
He took advantage of her and now he's been taken advantage of. It won't be easy for him to escape then!
But Zhen Liang is really generous!
They actually planned to give Wang Xiaohao half of the copyright revenue directly, and Wang Xiaohao wouldn't have to pay a single penny.
Of course, it's really hard to say how much money an art film can actually make!
Wang Xiaohao could only try to avoid this vixen, saying, "Alright, alright, I'll give you a chance, I'll give you a chance."
"Go back first, give me some peace and quiet, I'll finish writing the script!"
At this point, Wang Xiaohao suddenly paused and said, "But let me make this clear first! I'm the screenwriter and director of this movie, so how should my screenwriting and directing fees be calculated?"
Zhen Liang gritted her teeth and said, "I'll pay for it! We'll split the profits!"
In today's film and television industry, the one thing that is never lacking is funding!
What are the core assets of the film industry?
It's the director!
Or rather, creative ability!
Wang Xiaohao has already proven his directing and creative abilities with the film "My Sassy Girl".
Moreover, Zhen Liang acknowledged this ability, so Wang Xiaohao could naturally negotiate such terms with her at this point.
There's nothing we can do; in this relationship, Zhen Liang is the weaker party.
This is also why Wang Xiaohao wanted to try collaborating with Zhen Liang; otherwise, wouldn't it have been better for him to collaborate with those big companies?
To be honest, actresses of Zhen Liang's generation, especially movie actresses, have suffered quite a bit!
When this generation of actresses came of age, it was a period of overall decline in the creative capabilities of domestic films!
To be precise, it should be described as a period of revival for the entire film market, which had been completely dead.
Throughout their lives, they rarely encountered any outstanding films that left a lasting impression on audiences.
Besides Wang Manli!
Wang Manli is different; she is a woman of destiny.
Very similar to Zhang Ziyi in her previous life, she has taken advantage of the resources of top domestic directors to rise to international fame.
Then there's Qi Zhen, whose superb acting skills and captivating talent earned her the admiration of some art-house film directors, leading to her starring in some low-budget art-house films.
Apart from that, whether it's Zhen Liang, Bai Qiuqi, or even the other top actresses, they all basically rose through the ranks by working their way up in TV dramas!
None of them left a lasting impression on the screen enough to become an artistic figure who could get away with anything!
Unlike the older generation of actresses, who produced many excellent works at that time and left a deep impression on screen, making them memorable figures that people still talk about decades later.
As long as such a screen image exists, they will be remembered and missed by movie fans. Even if they do something wrong, this screen image can serve as a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Just like the scene that netizens in the previous life unanimously voted for: Brigitte Lin drinking, Joey Wong undressing, Athena Chu blinking, and Sharla Cheung turning her head.
The situation is similar in this lifetime!
Is it possible that actresses of Zhen Liang's generation are not as beautiful as the previous generation?
Zhen Liang was not convinced!
The reason they didn't leave such a lasting impression on screen is simply because they didn't have the right opportunities, the right era, or the right directors!
However, in "My Sassy Girl", Wang Xiaoshuang's role as the female lead made Zhen Liang see this trend!
Therefore, Zhen Liang decided to focus on Wang Xiaohao, believing that only he had the ability to help her advance further. She wanted Wang Xiaohao to direct an outstanding film, to create a truly stunning screen image, and to secure her own "get-out-of-jail-free card"!
