Entertainment: The Road to an Actor Starting from a Villain

Zhou Chen is already a mature actor, and he will never believe in such things as painting cakes!

He has already been lied to by Wu Jing once, and he will never do it again this time!

Zhou Chen, who was [-]% drunk, came to the open-air balcony.

Cannes is a coastal city, and you can see the coastline in the distance from the hotel's terrace.

The sea breeze at night blows from the land to the sea.

Although I can't feel that kind of salty humidity, it is still a bit comfortable to be blown by this kind of wind in May.

It is said that the most taboo thing for people who have drunk is to blow cold wind. Zhou Chen was not drunk before, but now he feels a little bit more ecstatic.

Just as he was in a daze, a voice came from behind him.

"Hi, are you Zhou?"

Some strange Huaxia language with a strong accent.

When Zhou Chen turned his head, he saw a short Chinese man standing not far away, looking at him cautiously.

"What's the matter with you?"

Although his head was a little dizzy, Zhou Chen spoke very clearly.

The short man walked over quickly and handed out his business card.

"Hello Mr. Zhou, my name is James Wen, you can also call me Wen Ren, I am a screenwriter~"

"Can I show you my script?"

Wen Ren's face was full of anticipation, and he hoped that Zhou Chen could read his work, but Zhou Chen shook his head.

"Sorry, I'm an actor and I don't invest in movies."

Screenwriters like Wen Ren are very common in the entertainment industry.

In order to realize their ideals, they often look for investment everywhere with their own scripts.

It's a pity that this circle is cruel, and it is very difficult to realize one's movie dream in this way.

Cannes Film Festival is a place full of opportunities, so many directors and screenwriters come here to look for opportunities.

This Wen Ren should be the same.

But Zhou Chen is just an actor, he won't invest in movies!

Besides, he hasn't even paid off his debts yet, and he doesn't have the money.

Wen Ren quickly waved his hand.

"Mr. Zhou, you misunderstood, I don't want you to invest in my movie! I want to invite you to act in my movie!"

He took out a stack of scripts and handed it to Zhou Chen.

"Before you refuse, I still hope that Mr. Zhou can read the script."

Wen Ren really wanted Zhou Chen to appear in his movie.

Especially after watching Zhou Chen's movie, he became more and more sure of his thoughts.

Although Zhou Chen was a little confused, he was not stupid. Instead of accepting the script, he looked at Wen Ren.

"You don't want to get the actors first, and then go to attract investment~"

These directors are largely the same as the empty-handed Aries films.

They may only have one script in their hands and nothing else, so they rely on the script to attract actors first, and then rely on the actor's name to attract investment.

There is even nothing, just relying on painting cakes to attract people.

These people are too common in the investment circle.

Even if Zhou Chen fell in love with this script, he couldn't just lend his name out for nothing.

Wen Ren was just a newcomer, so he was dumbfounded by Zhou Chen's question.

"That~ I've already secured investment in Hollywood."

"If you don't believe me, I can send the project investment letter over there!"

He explained somewhat awkwardly.

Zhou Chen is also an actor, and he can tell at a glance that the other party is not a fake.

He also accepted the script with half-belief.

"Chain Saw"!
"A horror movie again?"

Looking at the name, Zhou Chen guessed the genre of the film.

"Correct!"

Wen Ren was very excited.

"It was only after I saw your movie that I made up my mind to invite you to participate in this movie."

He came to the Cannes Film Festival this time to find actors.

But after meeting many people, he felt that the other person was far from the jigsaw in his heart.

But after watching Zhou Chen's movie, he knew that this role must belong to Zhou Chen!
Zhou Chen didn't speak, but silently looked at the script.

Hollywood scripts and Huaxia's scripts are somewhat different in format, and there are huge differences in content and rhythm.

They are more industrial!
Industrialization is not necessarily a good word in the art field, but it means that their film production is more efficient and cheaper.

And the lower limit of the quality of the movie is relatively high.

Just like the script in hand, "Chain Saw" is modeled, how many pages are the foreshadowing, and how many pages are the climax.

Hollywood movies have been talking about science since the script.

Art is also about science.

Zhou Chen flipped through the script silently. The rhythm of the movie is not bad, and the issues discussed are also very in-depth.

It's nothing more than a cliché, talking about human nature in the midst of infinite fear.

It's the old Hollywood formula.

Until now, there was nothing that could impress Zhou Chen. Let's look at the pitifully small investment in this movie.

Zhou Chen had no interest in participating in this kind of movie at all.

Just as he was thinking about how to refuse, Zhou Chen turned to the last few pages of the script.

When he saw the corpse in the secret room, which had been neglected on the ground, suddenly moved, and the jigsaw finally appeared, Zhou Chen suddenly became interested.

Interesting reversal!

With this reversal alone, the quality of this movie has been improved by three points.

Zhou Chen raised his head and looked at Wen Ren who was opposite him.

The somewhat short child was full of confidence at this moment.

People should be confident, at least in the face of their professional field, no matter what they should have a little self-confidence.

"How about it, Mr. Zhou! Would you like to act in this movie?"

In the dark night, Wen Ren's eyes were flooded with light.

Zhou Chen closed the script and asked:
"How about the pay?"

When the salary is asked, it means that the actor is basically willing to participate.

Logically speaking, Wen Ren should be happy, but at this time he became reserved again.

"The salary is not much, only $[-]!"

One hundred thousand US dollars, a total of only 70 Huaxia coins.

Hearing the salary, Zhou Chen was a little dazed.

"Did you say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong? One hundred thousand dollars?"

Zhou Chen rubbed his head, even second-tier stars are paid more than [-] US dollars.

Besides, he just won the best actor award in Cannes.

In any case, the value should be doubled.

Wen Ren is only willing to give one hundred thousand!

"It's hard for me to do things if you give me this little money!"

Zhou Chen was also in a bit of a dilemma. Of course the script was good, but if he acted at a low price, it would be destroying the market!
Wouldn't anyone be able to find him to make a movie with this price in the future?
Unless the movie can bring him something other than a paycheck.

Although he was drunk, Zhou Chen's voice became more and more provocative.

"Mr. Wen, think about what else you can give me?"

The smell of alcohol in his mouth was breathed forward, making Wen Ren a little confused.

Confused, he said:

"Divided?"
