Chapter 263 274 [New film Fireworks in the Daytime, Iron-toothed Du Xiaoyue]

The next morning, when it was still dawn, Yu Feihong went out to buy breakfast, feeling refreshed.

After Jiang Qinqin finished washing up, Yu Feihong came back with some steamed buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk. While eating the buns, she asked curiously, “Sister Feihong, is Brother Yishu still not up?”

“I think should not be.”

Yu Feihong glanced at the house opposite and said with a smile, “Maybe your brother Yishu is too tired after just coming back from abroad. Just save it for him later.”

“Then let Yishu-ge sleep a little longer.”

Jiang Qinqin ate a big meat bun and a fried dough stick, and drank a big bowl of soy milk. She burped after feeling full and said comfortably, “It feels so good. Sure enough, I still have to eat buns and fried dough sticks in the morning.”

Seeing her lovely appearance, Yu Feihong smiled and said, “Qinqin, if you like it, eat more. The taste of this bun shop is still very good. If it’s not enough, I will buy some later. Don’t think about saving it for your brother Yishu.”

“No, no, I’m full and can’t eat anymore.” Jiang Qinqin shook her head repeatedly. Suddenly she remembered something and couldn’t help asking, “Sister Feihong, did you go out last night?”

Yu Feihong was stunned: “Ah? Yes, I went to the toilet.”

“Oh.” Jiang Qinqin didn’t ask any more questions. There was indeed a bathroom in the house, but it could only be used for small and not large. “Did you hear the cat meowing last night?”

“mew?”

“Yes, I was half asleep last night and heard what sounded like a kitten meowing non-stop. It woke me up and I realized you were not in the room.”

“What’s the cat meowing?”

At this time, Li Yishu appeared from nowhere, saw the breakfast on the table, strode over, picked up the bun and started to eat it. Yu Feihong was very energetic last night and had been busy for several hours. Now he was tired and hungry.

“Qinqin, give me that soy milk.”

“Okay okay.”

Jiang Qinqin immediately took the soy milk and handed it to Li Yishu, and asked, “Brother Yishu, didn’t you hear the cat meowing last night?”

“Meow?” Li Yishu looked at Yu Feihong suspiciously. Seeing her blushing, he immediately understood and said with a laugh, “It might be a wild cat. It’s spring now, and it’s the estrus season for animals. It’s normal for a wild cat to meow all night.”

“What are you talking about!” Yu Feihong hit Li Yishu’s arm and said shyly, “Qinqin is still a child, why are you telling her these things?”

“I’m not a child anymore. I’m already nineteen… no, eighteen years old.”

Jiang Qinqin blushed slightly. Being in heat was still a bit embarrassing for a young girl like her, but she did not agree with Yu Feihong’s words “still a child”. She did not want to be a child anymore as she was already eighteen.

As for why she was sometimes 19 and sometimes 18, it was because Jiang Qinqin deliberately changed her age to one year older in order to enroll in the Beijing Film Academy.

“Yes, eighteen is a big girl.”

Li Yishu smiled and said, “Qinqin, this year is your 18th birthday. What gift do you want Brother Yishu to give you?”

Jiang Qinqin’s eyes lit up, “Any gift will do?”

“Any gift is fine. Yishu will buy you whatever you want!”

“I…I haven’t thought about it yet! I’ll tell you when I’ve thought about it.”

“Okay, think about it first.”

Li Yishu didn’t care. While eating his buns, he said to Yu Feihong, “You don’t need to prepare lessons now that it’s holiday, right?”

“Well, it’s a little easier now. I don’t have to be so busy preparing lessons anymore.”

Yu Feihong nodded. She had just become an acting teacher last year, so she was naturally busy preparing lessons during the holidays. Now that she has been a teacher for a year, she has become proficient in the job.

Li Yishu took a sip of soy milk and said, “That’s good. I’m going to start a new movie at the end of the year, and you can play the female lead then.”

Jiang Qinqin’s eyes brightened: “Brother Yishu, can I play a role?”

“Haha, of course you can. Manager Yongmei is planning to arrange for you and Jia Jingwen to act in a TV series. Go to the crew to gain some experience.”

“What TV show?”

“Does Zhao Feiyan know?”

“Of course I know, what does it mean to be fat or thin? I want to play Zhao Feiyan?!”

“No, Zhao Feiyan has other actors. I mainly want to arrange for you to go to the crew to familiarize yourself with them. And Qinqin, your face is very suitable for costume dramas. I will give you a separate TV series next year.”

“Legend of the Han Palace” is a palace fighting drama with many female characters. In addition to Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede, there are many other female characters.

Li Yishu would naturally not give the role to others for nothing. Jiang Qinqin, Jia Jingwen, Zhou Xun and others are all quite suitable for playing some female roles in the play. Arranging them to play them is a good opportunity to familiarize themselves with the roles.

“Hehe, thank you Brother Yishu.” When Jiang Qinqin heard that Li Yishu was going to make a TV series for her alone, she instantly felt happy.

Seeing her like this, Yu Feihong smiled slightly, then turned to look at Li Yishu: “What new movie are you going to shoot?”

“It’s a crime film.”

Li Yishu thought for a moment and said, “I’ve already found someone to write the script. It will probably be finished next month. When the script is ready, I’ll have someone give it to you. Study it carefully. If you play this role well, you’ll have a chance to win the Best Actress award.”

He is going to shoot “Black Coal, Thin Ice” starring Gui Lunmei. This movie is adapted from Keigo Higashino’s novel “White Night Walk”. However, the novel will not be serialized for several years, and now even Keigo Higashino himself probably has no ideas for the creation.

When the movie is finished, it can be published as a novel.

Speaking of which, the movie “Black Coal, Thin Ice” was very well made. It not only won the Berlin Golden Bear Award, but also made Liao Fan win the Best Actor Award. Gui Lunmei’s performance as Wu Zhizhen was very good, but in Li Yishu’s opinion, her appearance was still a little young, and her face was not as dynamic as Yu Feihong’s.

You have to know that the “Wu Zhizhen” in the movie is a complex woman who is both good and evil. She exudes charm in her every move. She appears calm on the outside but is turbulent on the inside.

Yu Feihong has a cool and feminine appearance, and her appearance is more in line with “Wu Zhizhen”.

“Okay, I haven’t tried a crime movie yet.”

When Yu Feihong heard the word “Best Actress”, her eyes immediately lit up. She didn’t expect that Li Yishu still remembered that she had promised to give her a Best Actress trophy.

That morning, Li Yishu went to meet with Liu Yizhen and Wang Shuo.

The crew of “Red Leaves Like February Flowers” has almost finished preparations and will start filming in mid-May. The female lead is confirmed to be Chen Hong. This girl has taken on a horror movie “Mist House” with Zhu Shimao. She is currently filming in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and has not been able to return. The filming will not be completed until early next month.

After staying in Yanjing for two days, Li Yishu took a plane directly back to his hometown in Sichuan. He was unable to go home for the Chinese New Year this year, and now he has to go to Cannes, France soon. If he doesn’t go home again, his mother Zhao Xue will probably be furious.

Just in time to go back to Sichuan, meet up with Lei Han and the main creative team of “Nobody”, and fly directly to Hong Kong to meet Zhang Manyu. Emei Film Studio.

Inside the studio, Li Yishu frowned as he looked at his father Li Jian who was directing the film. He didn’t expect that Long Wu was so capable as to let his father Li Jian be the director of this “Flying Tigers”.

After Li Yishu returned home from the airport at noon today, she learned from her mother Zhao Xue that her father Li Jian was recently filming a co-production of an anti-Japanese film. At that time, Li Yishu didn’t care and just casually asked what movie it was. Who knew that Zhao Xue said it was “Flying Tigers”!
The long-forgotten memories suddenly made Li Yishu realize that something was wrong.

In his previous life, after graduating from university, he was assigned back to Emei Film Studio. After doing odd jobs for a few years, he successfully participated in the work of assistant director of a movie this year.

This movie is “Flying Tigers”, co-produced by Yongsheng Film Company and Emei Film Studio. This movie is adapted from the old movie “Railway Guerrillas”. Secretary Li Yi remembered very clearly that the director of this film should be Wang Jixing.

Unexpectedly, he has become his father now, and judging from his mother’s tone, it seems that it was Hong Kong who specifically requested Li Jian to take the photo.

Li Yishu glanced at the staff from Hong Kong who were chatting in Cantonese. He was now certain that Long Wu was planning to take a roundabout route.

Li Jian, who was busy directing at the moment, suddenly heard the stagehand say that his son had arrived. He turned around and glanced, and saw his eldest son standing there. He immediately smiled and waved his hand, saying, “Yishu, why are you standing there? Come here!”

As soon as these words came out, the actors around them all looked at Li Yishu who was standing at the door.

Their eyes were all burning.

A director who has won three Golden Globes, who among the actors wouldn’t want to work with him?

Li Yishu didn’t care about the hot gazes of the people around him. He walked up to his father and said with a smile, “Old man, you are really good. You have become a director of a co-production film.”

“Stop teasing your dad. Everyone knows that I became a director because of you.”

Li Jian rolled his eyes. He was self-aware. When he learned that the Hong Kong Film Company specifically asked him, Li Jian, to be the director of this co-production, he guessed that it must be because of his son.

Since the implementation of the policy of self-production and self-sales as well as co-production films at the beginning of last year, in the past year or so, numerous film companies from Hong Kong and Taiwan have come to the mainland to co-produce films.

There are even more directors from major studios who want to get a piece of the pie from co-productions.

Li Jian is not the most experienced person in Emei Studio, nor is he the most capable, so under normal circumstances it is not his turn to shoot.

But the other party specifically asked him to come, and the cooperating film company was Yongsheng, one of the best in Hong Kong. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the investor was coming for Li Yishu.

Originally Li Jian didn’t want to agree, but Emei Film Studio was worried that Yongsheng Company would withdraw its investment, so they had to ask Li Jian to direct it. With no other choice, he had to come.

Li Jian hesitated and said, “Do you think my becoming a director will affect you? Will they come to you about this?”

“Haha, it’s okay, Dad. It’s a co-production. Our Emei Film Studio also invested in it. We are working together, so no one owes anyone anything.”

Li Yishu smiled faintly and said, “What’s more, Yongsheng Company is very eager to cooperate with our Emei Film Studio on this red-themed film.”

In three years, Hong Kong will return to China. As long as Long Wu is not a fool, he will know how to actively move closer to the mainland and even sell himself well. Doesn’t he know that investing in red-themed films like “Flying Tigers” will basically not make back the cost in an era of self-production and self-sales?

Why take the photo? Isn’t it just to prove my loyalty and show that I can be as “patriotic” as Jimmy?

“That’s good!” Li Jian breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that his son was very popular now, and he didn’t want anyone to use him against him because of this.

“Okay, dad, stop worrying about these things and take me to meet some people.”

Li Yishu looked at the actors not far away. Just like in the previous life, they were all familiar faces: Li Xuejian, Liu Wei, Li Youbin, Zhang Fengyi, Yuan Li, Pan Changjiang…

What impressed Lee Yi-su the most in this movie was probably the traitorous leader Lee Yoo-bin, who was very different from “Li Yunlong” a few years later.

After getting to know the main creative team of the crew, Li Yishu left with a smile without disturbing his father’s filming. When he was present, the crew members, including the actors, could not help but look at him.

There is no other way. The gold content of the directors who have won the three major awards is too high, and the crew members are all mainland actors, all of whom are thinking about whether they can establish a relationship and work with Li Yishu.

As soon as I walked out of the studio door, I was suddenly bumped into by someone.

Fortunately, Li Yishu reacted quickly. While she stood firmly on her feet, she also stretched out her hand and said, “Girl, are you okay?”

“No, it’s okay.” The woman looked up at Li Yishu and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Director Li, I didn’t mean it.”

“fine.”

Looking at the other person’s appearance, Li Yishu was not sure whether the other person did it intentionally or not, but she still smiled and helped the other person up.

The woman looked at the red on Li Yishu’s shirt and said quickly, “Director Li, I’m so sorry that I stained your clothes. Why don’t you leave me your phone number and I’ll compensate you with a piece of clothing later.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yishu looked down and found a “blood stain” on her chest. She pinched it and smelled it, and it was red paint. She guessed it was a blood bag used for filming.

“No, it’s just a piece of clothing.”

Li Yishu looked at the other person with interest: “I remember your name is Yuan Li, right?”

Yuan Li’s face lit up with joy, and she said repeatedly, “Yes, Director Li, I’m Yuan Li, a student of the 92 acting class of Beijing Film Academy.”

“I didn’t expect that you’re a junior from Beijing Film Academy. Are you guys taking on roles so early?”

“Yes… our teacher encouraged us to try more. It happened that the crew was recruiting actors in Yanjing at that time, so I signed up. I didn’t expect that I would actually be accepted in the interview.”

“Haha, keep working hard. I believe in you. You will definitely become famous in the future.”

“Thank you, senior brother.”

Yuan Li said excitedly, “Um… Senior Brother, can I have your contact information? I’ll compensate you with a new shirt later.”

Li Yishu kept staring at the other person with a smile on her face.

Yuan Li felt a little scared when she saw it.

He then pulled out a small iron box from his pocket, took out a business card from it and handed it to the other party: “This is my business card, keep it well, and you don’t have to pay for the clothes. Just have a good time filming on the set.”

After saying that, Li Yishu turned around and left. He had a very deep impression of Yuan Li. The role of Shu Xin she played in “Never Forget You” was so bold and unrestrained, and the hit TV series “Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan” made her famous all over the country with the role of Du Xiaoyue.

It’s just that it is said that Yuan Li is very scheming. In the previous life, I just thought it was a rumor, but now it seems that she is really very scheming at such a young age.

A minor supporting actor was walking around with a blood bag used as a prop by the crew, and it bumped directly into his head. No one without a little bit of scheming would have thought of such a way.

Looking at the other person’s leaving back, Yuan Li looked at the business card in her hand again and put it away solemnly. She knew the importance of this business card.

　Thanks to book friend Shiguang1979 for the reward.
