Entertainment: The Road to an Actor Starting from a Villain

But this time Zhou Chen's casting is not going to be in the form of a variety show.

One reason is that the number of people this time is relatively small, and there are only a few key players, so there is no need for such a big fanfare.

Furthermore, the selection of actors in the form of drafts has now become the norm, and those talented middle-aged actors have already shown their heads.

There is absolutely no need to use the draft method to recruit people.

But this also created new problems.

That is, the actors he invited didn't necessarily want to act in the play.

Most of the actors didn't even ask about the salary when they heard that Zhou Chen was directing the film, and directly expressed their desire to participate in the film.

But Li Xue, who plays the role of "Old Bu", has her own ideas.

No matter what Zhou Chen told him, he just didn't let go, and he didn't mention anything about filming.

But Zhou Chen didn't want to give up easily.

Although this role is not big, Zhou Chen still hopes that it will be played by the person who is most suitable for playing this role.

So Zhou Chen made a special trip to visit.

"Mr. Li, hello."

But Zhou Chen hit a soft nail just when he knocked on Li Xue's door.

"Don't, the master is the teacher, and you are the teacher when it comes to acting."

His tone was bad and his face was cold.

Obviously, Li Xue has a lot of opinions on Zhou Chen.

Stay visibly unwelcoming.

But apparently his wife didn't think so.

"Old man, bring the guests in, let's talk about something!"

Li Xue's expression became a little stiff all of a sudden, but she followed suit.

But when the two entered the study, Li Xue hadn't sat down to make another statement.

"Let me tell you first, I won't act in your movie."

Zhou Chen always faced Li Xue with a smile on his face, but Li Xue greeted her with a cold ass again and again.

Even clay figurines have three points of anger.

"Can you at least tell me why?"

However, Zhou Chen still restrained himself and asked the reason calmly.

Li Xue snorted coldly and replied.

"You young people today are impetuous."

"I know you've just made a great movie and it's hard not to get in."

"But you can't start shooting the next movie right away because of that."

"We filmmakers have to be responsible to ourselves, and we must not release some semi-finished products..."

Zhou Chen originally thought that the other party would give reasons such as insufficient salary or dissatisfaction with the role.

But it never occurred to him that the other party thought the movie was not good enough.

In turn, teach Zhou Chen a lesson.

Although it seemed quite earnest in his mouth, Zhou Chen felt more and more something was wrong.

After thinking about it, Zhou Chen slowly asked a question.

"Have you read the script I sent you?"

Sure enough, Li Xue raised her head arrogantly after hearing this question.

"I will only read those finely polished scripts. Your script is here, and I will show it to you."

As he spoke, he also took out the script sent by Zhou Chen from the side.

Sure enough, the packaging was still there, and there was obviously no trace of opening it, let alone reading it.

Zhou Chen couldn't laugh or cry immediately, no wonder the other party kept refusing to participate in his movie.

Co-authoring is because I feel that I am floating, and the quality of the film produced is unbearable.

But Zhou Chen was not angry because of the other party's contempt.

Because when the other party taught him a lesson just now, he obviously hated iron but not steel.

This is a person who really cares about the younger generation, and even though he said how he doesn't like this script.

But the script has been preserved intact.

This quality alone made Zhou Chen more convinced that it was him.

So although the other party's attitude is not friendly, Zhou Chen still desperately hopes that the other party can participate in the performance.

"Ms. Li, if you still think so after reading the script, I will not disturb you, just turn around and leave!"

Li Xue was shaken by Zhou Chen's words.

It's not because of Zhou Chen's words.

He has been acting for many years, and directors from all walks of life have asked him to act. I don't know how many similar words have been said.

At first he could still listen to it, but barely read some.

But when I was fed too much shit, it was too disgusting to bear.

So he set a standard for himself.

Don’t watch movies that haven’t been polished over the years, don’t watch scripts that aren’t written by well-known directors or screenwriters, don’t read scripts that aren’t sent by people with real strength.

Therefore, even though "Shaw's Redemption" was sent over, he never watched it once.

But now, he was moved by Zhou Chen.

When Zhou Chen said this, it was not the urge of a gambler to fight for the last chance.

It is a kind of self-confidence, a kind of strong self-confidence, a kind of self-confidence in the quality of the work.

He was not moved by Zhou Chen, but he was deeply moved by Zhou Chen's confident eyes.

But at the moment, he was still a little arrogant. It might be strange for a person of his age to say arrogant, but this word was the most suitable word to describe the expression on his face.

"Okay, then I'll take a look."

"But you can't talk about it."

It is precisely because of his high requirements for scripts that the number of people visiting his home has decreased in recent years.

If the news about breaking the precept for Zhou Chen spread, I don't know how troublesome it will be in the future.

In this regard, Zhou Chen also nodded in approval.

Only then did Li Xue unpack the package and read the script carefully.

After reading it, it looks more like a tsundere.

Obviously a second ago, he was full of disdain, but when he read the script, he seemed to be a different person.

I was quickly attracted by the story told in the script.

The eyes are sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Obviously has fully assumed the role.

After a full three hours, he slowly let out a foul breath.

"Please be sure to let me participate in this movie, I can play without pay!"

Zhou Chen was overjoyed when he heard the words, it seemed that the other party really liked this character very much.

There are generally only two situations for such things as unpaid performances.

One is a rookie actor with little ability. Relatively speaking, being famous and training yourself through movies is more important than salary.

The other is to star in friendship, because I have a good relationship with the director, so I made a guest appearance in friendship.

Many actors in "Wolf Warrior 2" played in friendship.

And Li Xue is the third situation that is quite uncommon.

That is to be quite satisfied with a role, even if you don’t need money, it’s for art and you have to play the role well.

This often happens only when those roles and actors are highly compatible.

In other words, this situation often means that the performance of this role will be quite brilliant.

Of course, Zhou Chen is not short of this money.

The remuneration that should be given will not be less.

After arranging the issue of actors, Zhou Chen quickly returned to the crew.

Li Xue, on the other hand, clicked on Weibo, which she hadn't used for a long time, full of emotion.

After posting a message, Zhou Chen was on the cusp of the storm.
