Chapter 50: What kind of divine being is that?
One sentence made Zhen Liang so angry that her chest hurt!
Damn it, all those directors who make art films don't really like Zhen Liang.
The excuses they used were similar, both implying that Zhen Liang was too beautiful!
This infuriated Zhen Liang, yet she also felt a hidden sense of smugness!
However, in Wang Xiaohao's opinion, Zhen Liang's biggest problem is not that she is too beautiful, but that she is too seductive!
Or rather, her beauty is too aggressive.
If used in a movie, it could easily overshadow the main content!
Unless Wang Xiaohao is preparing to remake "Malèna", how could he possibly cast Zhen Liang?
Why do models need to be thin, preferably without breasts?
I'm just afraid of the guest overshadowing the host!
If you, as a model, have such a great figure, will the audience pay attention to your figure or to the clothes designed by the designer?
Of course, Victoria's Secret is an exception!
But you know what, you really have to admit, Zhen Liang is really suitable for "Malèna". She is a stunning beauty with a sharp edge, and even wearing a burlap sack cannot hide her sexiness!
Hmm, "Malèna" is actually pretty good too!
Its theme is profound, in no way inferior to Casablanca.
Of course, it's not as appealing as Casablanca in terms of subject matter!
And most importantly, box office success is not guaranteed!
Even if this movie is remade, it will be difficult for it to be a box office hit.
This is not the best choice for Wang Xiaohao!
However, to be fair, Todd is indeed Wang Xiaohao's favorite director.
Wang Xiaohao especially loved Cinema Paradiso, one of the three films in the old man's "Going Home" trilogy, which he watched the most times.
Wang Xiaohao remembered watching a TV program a long time ago, where a reporter from CCTV or some other station was interviewing tourists on a beach in Italy.
The film "Cinema Paradiso" is very familiar to audiences in both Italy and China.
Of course, that's not the point. The point is that there was a very pretty Italian girl on the street who really impressed Wang Xiaohao.
Unfortunately, all of that happened in a past life!
Wang Xiaohao has put aside his sentimentality; sentimentality can't put food on the table. Perhaps he'll remake *Malèna* or *Cinema Paradiso* someday. But not now!
Wang Xiaohao now needs a purely commercial film, preferably one that will be a box office smash!
"Malèna" is definitely not a good fit. Even "Casablanca," unless it incorporates some grand scenes, such as the Japanese army besieging the city and creating an epic atmosphere, will likely struggle to achieve a box office hit.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaohao couldn't help but sigh.
Little did he know that when he looked at Zhen Liang like that, and then shook his head and sighed, he almost made Zhen Liang explode.
What does that mean?
Am I really that bad?
Is it something that makes you shake your head and sigh?
Zhen Liang is a top-tier actress, and her status is no less than that of a new director like Wang Xiaohao, and may even be higher.
Having come to his door willingly, only to be treated like this by Wang Xiaohao, it's no wonder he's furious!
Fortunately, Wang Xiaohao quickly realized what was happening and said, "Sorry! I just saw you and was thinking about what kind of subject matter would suit you for a film..."
Zhen Liang's anger instantly turned to joy, and she was even flattered: "Director Wang, are you planning to tailor-make a movie just for me?"
Wang Xiaohao neither admitted nor denied it, simply stating, "The movie 'My Sassy Girl' was tailor-made for Wang Xiaoshuang!"
Zhen Liang was overjoyed, and her whole body almost went limp.
There are plenty of amazing and brilliant directors in this world!
But what kind of amazing person is a director who can tailor-make movies for actors, especially actresses?
It's simply beyond the scope of being described as extremely rare.
It's like a godsend!
Zhen Liang felt once again that she had made the right choice in coming to find Wang Xiaohao!
In fact, many actresses noticed Wang Xiaohao's "My Sassy Girl" as soon as it was released.
Perhaps the male stars didn't feel much about this movie.
But almost every female celebrity is envious!
How lucky Wang Xiaoshuang is to have made such a great movie!
Why can't I find such a suitable movie!
To reiterate, the key issue is that there are simply too few film genres in China that offer actresses room to showcase their talents.
They're either art films that explore the negative aspects of human nature, or grand historical epics. Female characters are basically just embellishments.
There are very few movies like "My Sassy Girl" where the actresses can beautifully fall in love and showcase their beauty, and the box office is booming!
If it weren't for the rumors, Wang Xiaohao's second film would have been an art film.
Now, it's definitely not just Zhen Liang who's coming to see Wang Xiaohao, it's a whole bunch of actresses!
Of course, finding Wang Xiaohao's residence also requires sufficient information channels!
Among the top actresses, Zhen Liang is the one most looking forward to collaborating with Wang Xiaohao.
She was also the first one to find Wang Xiaohao!
Now, when she heard that Wang Xiaohao could also tailor-make movies for people, her eyes immediately turned red!
With seductive eyes, Zhen Liang grabbed Wang Xiaohao's arm and said, "Director Wang, what do you think of me? Am I qualified to be the female lead in your movie?"
"I'll do anything you ask, as long as you're willing to make a movie for me!"
She lowered her voice, leaned close to Wang Xiaohao's ear, and breathed softly.
Wang Xiaohao's mood wavered slightly, but thinking that a woman who could become a top-tier celebrity must be no pushover.
That's why Wang Xiaohao didn't let lust cloud his judgment. Instead, he remained rational, distanced himself from Zhen Liang, and said with a smile, "Miss Zhen Liang is so beautiful, she should shine brightly on the big screen!"
It's a real shame that our domestic film industry is underdeveloped, and we don't have the opportunity for a beauty like Ms. Zhen Liang to showcase her charm.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Liang immediately clung even closer to Wang Xiaohao, pleading in a pitiful voice, "So, everything depends on you, Director Wang!"
Of course, don't be fooled by Zhen Liang's proactive attitude.
In fact, this kind of woman will never act without first realizing the benefits.
There's no way she could be fooled by Wang Xiaohao's few words. If Wang Xiaohao really got lustful and wanted to kiss her, he would probably be completely fooled!
Wang Xiaohao sighed and said, "What a pity! I haven't even found a new project yet, and there's still no sign of a second movie..."
Zhen Liang's eyes darted around; she wasn't stupid. She certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to take on everything at this moment. She said to Wang Xiaohao, "You want to find a company? That's easy, leave it to me!"
In fact, for a director like Wang Xiaohao who has proven his abilities, he would be welcomed by any film company in China.
There was absolutely no need for Zhen Liang to introduce them.
The fact that Wang Xiaohao has not yet found a buyer only proves one thing: Wang Xiaohao is waiting for the right price to go!
Zhen Liang decided to help Wang Xiaohao solve this problem. She smiled slightly and said, "Director Wang, have you heard of Rubik's Cube Company?"
