My singer girlfriend is super fierce
Chapter 1202 Begging for mercy
When Wei Bing's agent heard the news that Ye Zhiqiu and Fang Long were planning to co-produce a movie, his first reaction was disbelief.
As we all know, after Van Loong's first two films suffered box office failures, the industry is no longer optimistic that this movie star can continue to carry the box office in his old age.
Although Ye Zhiqiu had just directed a movie which did well at the domestic box office, he was still a pure newcomer... How could he break into Hollywood?
Wei Bing briefly explained what happened at the dinner, and the agent finally understood.
"You mean, Fang Long controls the distribution channels and relationships, and asked Ye Zhiqiu to write the script, planning to work together to make an animated film called Kung Fu Panda, but Ye Zhiqiu turned around and wanted to invest in Fang Long to star in an action movie?"
After listening to Wei Bing's explanation, the agent who has been in the industry for more than 20 years found it even more magical.
The animated film is fine, after all, the strength of the studio under Ye Zhiqiu's name is obvious to all, but there are so many complaints about choosing Fang Long to star in it that I don't know where to start.
How dare he? Where does he get the confidence from? Does he have too much money to burn?
"Wait." The agent reacted and asked, "You mean, Fang Long's attitude..."
Wei Bing said, "He hasn't agreed yet, but after Ye Zhiqiu briefly explained the plot, I saw that he was obviously very interested. This thing is likely to succeed in the end."
"Fang Long's role in the play is a retired special forces soldier of Chinese descent. Except for the protagonist and his family, the rest are foreign actors. Ye Zhiqiu's plan is to use the Sino-foreign co-production format for this play."
The agent reacted quickly and asked immediately, "So the heroine of this drama is also Chinese?"
"Yes." Wei Bing nodded and said directly: "I want this role."
The agent thought quickly and immediately understood what Wei Bing meant.
In fact, after winning the Best Actress award, Wei Bing has been trying to increase her international popularity, which is also what many domestic actors do.
After all, "internationalization" brings many benefits, including increased visibility, easier access to more international brand endorsements, and increased value...
However, Wei Bing's road to "internationalization" has not been smooth. The roles he has played in two Hollywood blockbusters have been ridiculed by many netizens as "just making cameo appearances" - although this is indeed true.
But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Ye Zhiqiu and Fang Long's action film can be filmed, they will definitely choose an actress in China to play the female lead of Chinese descent.
This film is planned to be released in Hollywood. If Wei Bing can play the role, it will be a transformation from a "supporting role" to a "leading actress"... If the box office is good, it may be able to open up the international market in one fell swoop...
Thinking of this, the agent's breathing became a little heavy, and his voice was a little dry: "But if this is a film invested by Ye Zhiqiu...will he give us this role?"
"What's his attitude tonight? Do you think there's much hope?"
Wei Bing shook his head slowly.
"Not big."
"Tonight I raised my glass to toast him. Although he seemed to be very nice on the surface, I could sense that he was very arrogant. He didn't take it seriously at all, and didn't care about our relationship because it had no impact on him."
The agent also felt a bit troubled. According to common sense, there seemed to be little hope for this matter.
Wei Bing's current relationship with Ye Zhiqiu can at best be considered "no enmity", but putting herself in his shoes, Ye Zhiqiu has no reason to give her this role.
The agent analyzed: "This role is definitely very popular. There are many actresses in the industry who want to play it."
"If you want something like this to work, there are only two ways: one is to exchange interests, and the other is to rely on personal connections."
"In terms of interests, we can't offer him any bargaining chips, the level is different. We can only take the second path, but how to impress him is the key..."
The car fell into silence. In fact, both of them knew that they had no advantage in terms of personal relationships, and they were enemies before.
After a while, the agent whispered, "He likes women? Do you want to..."
Physical relationship is the fastest way to shorten the "distance" between men and women in a relationship. This is an eternal truth.
This is nothing new in the entertainment industry. Wei Bing relied on this to get to the top before she became famous. Her agent has been working with her for many years, and the two have long been a community of interests on the same boat, so there is nothing wrong with saying it out loud.
Wei Bing's expression changed several times, and he slowly shook his head and said, "No."
"First, although he had scandals before, none of them were true. They were probably all fake. He doesn't seem like a sex-hungry person. So if this method works, it's good. If he refuses, then the road is completely blocked. We can't take this risk."
"Secondly, I am running out of time. Right now, this is still exclusive news, and Ye Zhiqiu's script hasn't been officially written yet. I have to get this role before then."
"Otherwise, once he and Van Long officially reach a cooperation intention, the whole circle will know about it once the news is released. At that time, there will be many competitors and his chances will be even slimmer."
The agent thought so too. When he was worried, Wei Bing suddenly said, "We need to think differently about this matter. Brother Fang Long is the lead actor and his words carry a lot of weight. If he is willing to ask Ye Zhiqiu for help, maybe Ye Zhiqiu will agree."
"Strike while the iron is hot. Turn around and go to the hotel now. I'll go talk to Brother Fang Long."
Thirty minutes later, in a five-star hotel.
After being dressed up as Qiao Zhuang, Wei Bing walked into the hotel lobby in a low-key manner and went straight to the presidential suite on the top floor.
After ringing the doorbell, the door opened quickly. Fang Long looked at Wei Bing at the door and asked in surprise: "Bingbing, why are you here so late?"
Wei Bing took a look at Fang Long's outfit. It looked like he had just finished washing up. She clasped her hands together and said apologetically, "Brother, I'm sorry to bother you. I have something urgent to discuss with you..."
Fang Long took a deep look at Wei Bing, then stepped aside and said, "Come in."
The two of them walked into the huge suite, and Wei Bing did not hide anything and directly stated the purpose of his return.
Fang Long remained calm and didn't say anything. Wei Bing softened her tone and said half pleadingly and half coquettishly, "Brother, I really want this role. Just give me some salary or something, as long as I can play the role."
"I believe I can act well. This time, only you can help me..."
Fang Long was unmoved and said with a wry smile: "Bingbing, I understand what you mean. It's not that I won't help you."
"To be honest, I did intend to cooperate with Zhiqiu. But you also know that he is the leading figure in this play. The script and funds are all from him. What I say is useless..."
Wei Bing naturally knew the answer in her heart, but she didn't say anything else. She just held Fang Long's hand and begged bitterly.
Fang Long was completely overwhelmed by her, and Wei Bing's acting skills were indeed good, otherwise she would not have won the title of Best Actress. In addition, her status was high enough, so it should not be difficult for her to play the role of the protagonist's lover in that play.
"Well," Fang Long could only say, "It's not convenient for me to ask Ye Zhiqiu for this role on your behalf, and it's not appropriate."
"When we read the script, I'll bring you with me, and you can talk to him in person. Whether it will work out in the end will depend on his decision."
"Thank you, big brother!" Wei Bing's face lit up and he said quickly.
In this way, her goal would be achieved. If Fang Long was willing to take her along, it would have shown her a certain attitude, and her success rate would definitely be much higher...
"Alright, alright, go back and have a rest." Fang Long looked helpless, "I can't guarantee whether it will work or not, it depends on your own efforts."
"I know." Wei Bing smiled, but had no intention of letting go of Fang Long's hand.
Instead, her hand slowly moved down...
