Chapter 27 Hexagram 8
Chapter 27 Gossip
At the Food First Tavern, this time there were not three brothers including Zhang Chen, but four.
Zeng Li has been in contact with him a lot recently, so Zhang Chen invited her to dinner this time so that he could see her long legs openly.
"Would you like some?"
Zeng Li looked at the beer in Zhang Chen's hand and hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Okay, less."
She studied Peking Opera and usually took great care to protect her voice. She didn't even drink at the wrap-up party that day. But now she has gradually come to understand that in this circle, it is not possible not to drink, so she has slowly learned to accept it. However, she only drinks beer and red wine, and never gets drunk.
Zhang Chen poured her a glass and then poured himself a glass.
"Come on, let's go~"
The four of them raised their glasses, and the cold wine flowed down their throats, taking away their worries.
The three of them put down their glasses and filled them up. Zeng Li did not follow their example and drank it all up directly, but only drank half of the glass.
"Beautiful lady, I haven't seen you for a long time. What have you been busy with recently?"
Cao Bingkun spoke first. After a month of busy filming, everyone had become familiar with each other and were talking more casually.
"Nothing, just waiting to become a big star. Someone told me that I have to wear sunglasses after May. I have bought the sunglasses, but now it is June."
Speaking of this, Zhang Chen smiled awkwardly and scratched his head: "I didn't expect that the Dragon Mark application would not be approved. It was supposed to be released during the May Day holiday but it was delayed to the summer vacation. But don't worry, it will be released on July 7nd. You will definitely be famous by then..."
"Hehe, I was just kidding. I haven't done anything recently, just interviewing with the crew."
"What's the result?"
"Of course it's not decent. If I had passed, would I still be able to sit here and drink with you guys?"
"Failed? You can't pass with your acting skills? Why are the crews so demanding?" Ning Hao expressed shock on the side, and Cao Bingkun nodded in agreement.
Zeng Li shrugged helplessly: "Of course I didn't pass because of my acting skills, but because I didn't want to follow the unspoken rules."
Unspoken rules?
Seeing everyone making a fuss, Zeng Li blew her hair on her forehead and said, "I won't tell you the name of the crew, but the casting director made it clear that if I'm willing, I can definitely get the role. Sigh~"
The three of them looked at each other
Zhang Chen comforted her: "In our circle, being pretty is a sin. You can think about it from another perspective. He wants to seduce you, which means you are pretty. If I were a casting director, I would definitely seduce you too."
Ning Hao: "Me too."
Cao Bingkun: "Me too."
"Hey, you three, that's enough, is there anything so comforting as this?"
"Haha, just kidding, just kidding..."
The three of them laughed heartily, enjoying the pleasure of teasing the little girl.
Men are all the same. There is no one who doesn't like young girls. In fact, it's the same with women. If there are three women and one man present, the man will definitely be the one who gets teased.
"Okay, okay, let's change the subject. Who knows what gossip there is recently? I've been busy with the release of the movie lately and haven't paid attention to anything."
"I know I know……"
Cao Bingkun immediately took over the conversation: "In the whole month of June, the most exciting thing was the casting of The Return of the Condor Heroes, which almost dominated all the entertainment headlines..."
Ning Hao: "I've heard about it too. It's said to be very confusing, with many different opinions online. No one knows which one is true and which one is false.
At first, it was said that Nicholas Tse would play Yang Guo and Cecilia Cheung would play Xiaolongnu, which caused a lot of speculation. However, Ma Zhongjun immediately came out to deny the rumor, saying that these two people would definitely not be invited and that there are other candidates for the roles.
It was then revealed that it was most likely Jiang Qinqin and Chen Kun, but it was quickly denied.
The marketing is booming every day, and it makes the headlines every now and then."
Zeng Li: “Has it been decided yet?” “No, the male actors seem to have been chosen as Nie Yuan and Huang Xiaoming, but the final candidate has not been decided yet.
There are many candidates for Little Dragon Girl, and a vote has been opened online. Zhou Xun, Jun Ji-hyun, Cecilia Cheung, Wang Fei, Jiang Qinqin, and a group of female stars are openly competing..."
Zhang Chen still remembers this part, the casting controversy of The Return of the Condor Heroes, which was also big news at the time.
Zhang Da Huzi is a master of hype. After "Tian Long" and "Swordsman", he has become a little obsessed and wants to hype everything he sees.
In order to get the role of Yang Guo, Nie Yuan underwent mandibular bone reduction surgery and also joined Ciwen Media.
But it was of no use, and in the end the role of Yang Guo was still taken by Huang Xiaoming. It was said that it was because Huang Xiaoming knew how to behave and gave gifts to Zhang Da Huzi.
The choice of Xiaolongnu is even more excessive.
There was an online voting with a total of 10 votes, and Jiang Qinqin won first place with nearly half of the votes. It can be said that she was the popular choice, but in the end she didn't even have the chance to audition.
It was obvious that everyone was fooled.
In fact, the roles had already been decided. Whether it was Sun Feifei, Zhou Xun, or the popular Jiang Qinqin, none of them could match the money of Liu Tianxian's godfather.
Zhang Da Huzi was just shamelessly hyping up the show, so much so that Zhou Xun eventually turned against him and publicly resigned from the role of Little Dragon Girl in front of the media, saying frankly: "The actor has no self-esteem anymore, and nothing can be too excessive."
Of course, all this will not finally come to an end until September. Before that, Zhang Da Huzi will definitely not stop. Maybe he thinks that it is not shameful to use some means to make money.

Dong Jianqiang took the statistical data submitted by his subordinates, and the data in the "Dark Invasion" column was particularly eye-catching.
"Xiao Deng, what's wrong with the data of Dark Invasion? Is it wrong?"
A young man named Xiao Deng came running over happily: "Boss, that's right. I checked the data again after it came out yesterday. In the past two days, the discussion of "Dark Invasion" has been very high among young people, and the willingness to watch it is very strong..."
Dong Jianqiang nodded without saying anything, as if he was thinking about something. Just as Xiao Deng was about to leave, he suddenly asked, "Xiao Deng, honestly, what do you think of this movie, "Dark Invasion"?"
Seeing the manager asking questions, Xiao Deng stopped, thought for a while and then answered: "I was also present at the film review that day. To be honest, I think this film is very novel. The rhythm and atmosphere are all good. It doesn't look like the work of a new director at all.
Also, as you know, my brother-in-law is studying at the University of Geosciences. I asked him indirectly, this film is very popular among their student groups, and there is a huge amount of discussion in the forum. I think the box office of this film should not be bad. "
Hearing Xiao Deng's words, Dong Jianqiang nodded: "Okay, go ahead and get busy."
Recently, another manager competing with him has been very active, which made Dong Jianqiang feel a sense of crisis and decided to take a chance.
Hearing that Xiao Deng's judgment was similar to his, Dong Jianqiang felt more confident. However, it was not enough, so he personally opened the University Forum of China.
Sure enough, among the top posts, there are one or two related to "Dark Invasion":
Damn, what kind of movie is this? The monster shape is too awesome...
It will be released on July 7nd. I decided to go and try it out. Is there anyone who wants to join me?
Just the trailer makes my blood boil, please tell me the seed address...
This is Beauty and the Beast. Only a perverted director can make such a movie...
The comments are varied, but the enthusiasm is not low.
Dong Jianqiang felt more confident.
After closing the Geosciences forum, he clicked on the Tsinghua, Peking University, Jiaotong University, and Renmin University forums...
The more I look at him, the more confident he becomes. It seems like it's time to make a choice.
