Lu Huiping's voice was gentler than the last time we met: "Xiao Chen, I heard that you went to the audition today. How do you feel about it?"
Chen Minhao thought for a while and said, "I feel normal."
Lu Huiping chuckled and said, "But I heard that after you went out after the audition, the director Hu Defa couldn't help but nod, and the assistant director Wei Ming also praised you. Others don't get this treatment."
Hearing Lu Huiping's praise, Chen Minhao felt no emotion in his heart, but he still laughed and said, "Really? I finished the audition and I was quite nervous when I got home. Now that I hear what you say, I feel like my heart has reset It fell into the stomach.”
Lu Huiping said with regret: "The director's satisfaction is one thing, but more importantly, you have to get the investors to nod. I heard that Baidao Pictures, the largest investor in "Detective", is not interested in using you to play Shao Fei. I'm a bit worried about the role. After all, you have only starred in one TV series as a protagonist, and although "The Best Youth" became popular, it was not a big hit.
Such qualifications are indeed a bit shallow for a movie like "Detective" with an investment of hundreds of millions. For investors, the risk of using you is indeed a bit high. They are afraid that you will not be able to handle the box office.
Even if your agent Kang Hui can get in touch with the top management of Baidao Pictures, it will be difficult to sway their minds.
In other words, although your acting skills are indeed good, the possibility of you playing the role of Shao Fei in "Detective" is still very small. "
When Chen Minhao heard Lu Huiping's words, he said with a smile: "Thank you for reminding me. Children without umbrellas have to run fast, so I can only work harder in the next audition."
Lu Huiping was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Chen Minhao to have no reaction after hearing these words. She knew that Chen Minhao had put a lot of money on this movie this year. If the movie was unsuccessful, he might be idle this year. , she thought for a moment and added:
"Kids who don't have an umbrella have to run, why don't you find an umbrella? I'm not just an umbrella, I'm Swaine Adeney Brigg.
Xiao Chen, you are a smart man. Let me tell you this directly: the investors want Jing Yongchang to play the role of Shao Fei. But what I said to you the last time we met is still valid. As long as you are willing to come to my company, you can win the role of Shao Fei without auditioning.
Xiao Chen, the definition of smartness for adults does not mean what kind of problem you can solve, but how to make an optimal solution when faced with a choice. So, I hope you can make a rational choice.
In today's society, opportunities are not reserved for those who are prepared, but for those who are always prepared. I hope you will reply to me as soon as possible, otherwise if the done thing is done, there is nothing I can do about it. "
Chen Minhao smiled and said, "Okay, I will seriously consider it."
Because Chen Minhao was on speakerphone the whole time, Kang Hui heard the conversation between the two clearly. She rubbed her temples and said, "This matter is a bit of a headache now. The investors may really want Jing Yongchang to come." Played by Shao Fei.
And if you don't go to Lu Huiping's side, Lu Huiping may also find ways to pressure investors to let Jing Yongchang play the role of Shao Fei.
Lu Huiping is a woman with a dark heart. She will usually find ways to suppress artists she can't get. As for "Detective", if you continue to audition seriously, I will continue to help you find a way.
It’s still the same sentence as before, your audition is 1, and the work I can do is 0. Without 1, no matter how many 0s there are, it is meaningless. In addition, I will also help you see if there are other suitable scripts. You have to be prepared for the high probability of failure. "
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment and said: "Sister Kang, actually you don't have to be so pessimistic. When I auditioned for "The Best Youth", the investor Wang Danlei didn't like me either. She originally wanted Xiao Jing to act, but in the end I haven’t played Wu Yan yet.”
Kang Hui sighed and said, "You can't expect every director to be as tough and clever as Wei Ming.
Take the other movie you're about to audition for, "The River Flows Quietly," for example. I heard that they had major disagreements over the choice of the female lead. Director Zhang Shan wanted Meng Silai to play the heroine Yin Hong, but the investor Fangyuanshan Pictures invested in this movie not to get a big return at the box office. They mainly wanted to promote Ning Yingxuan of their subsidiary Tangyu Culture. A prize.
Everyone knows that Meng Si's acting skills are better, but the purpose of Yuanshan Pictures was very clear from the beginning, which was to win awards for Ning Yingxuan, so I didn't let Wan Anqi audition for the role of Yin Hong. But Zhang Shan just couldn't turn this corner. He insisted on letting Meng Si act if he felt that Meng Si's acting skills were better and would be better for the movie.
Now Ning Yingxuan no longer wants to act, and Yuanshan Pictures no longer wants to invest. But Hu Defa is not Zhang Shan, and he will not break up with investors for you. "
"Ah, if "The River Flows Quietly" is not popular, wouldn't the role of the second male lead who is going to be auditioned in "The River Flows Quietly" be too popular? It's over, I don't have any spare tires anymore." Chen Minhao smiled evilly and said: "By the way, Yuanshan Is it because the film industry praises Ning Yingxuan so much?"
Chen Minhao didn't finish what he said, but Kang Hui already understood what he meant and said with a smile: "Ning Yingxuan is indeed having an affair with He Jinyu, the prince of Yuanshan Pictures. But one of them is not married and the other is not married. , it’s nothing.
And I heard that Ning Yingxuan often loses her temper in front of He Jinyu. I don’t even know how to say that she is of a higher rank? Or maybe the two of them really love each other, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.
Although our company is small in scale, we have a very positive atmosphere. Take Zhang Jianzhang, CEO of our company, for example. He will never be alone in a room with a female celebrity. Sometimes when I talk to him in the same office, he will choose to either have his assistant in the office or open the door.
There are so many dirty things in the entertainment industry. Compared with many celebrities, you are simply a flower living in a greenhouse. You have to know that sometimes it’s not just female celebrities who are lurked. Both men and women are vulnerable groups in front of capital. "
Chen Minhao had an "I know" expression on his face and said excitedly: "I know, it's the Rich Woman's Happy Ball."
Kang Hui rolled his eyes and said: "Anyway, don't mess with such "connected people" who "rely on their own efforts". Let me teach you a way to identify them. If a celebrity has a bad temper, there is a high probability that he will be..." "Bullying" has happened, because I have suffered and my status is hard-won, so I like to bully others more and more to find my inner balance."
Chen Minhao nodded. She felt that Kang Hui's words were very reasonable. Some people are like this. If they are not happy, others will not be happy either. He suddenly thought of a person: "I think Huang Feifei's temper is not very good either." ,Yes or no?"
Kang Hui flipped his hair and said: "Of course not, Huang Feifei is a small-probability type, she simply has a bad temper. I remember once taking her to dinner with an investor, and I went out to answer a phone call. She poured a glass of wine over the investor's head.
Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore, this is too far-fetched. Is Huang Feifei still on your blacklist? You release her now. It is basically confirmed that she will play the role of landlady Achun. "
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment: "What? She plays Achun? Maybe this is the legend, not enemies at odds?"
Kang smiled back and said, "Don't worry too much, she still has basic professional qualities. If you join the same crew, she won't do anything to you in terms of performance."
Chen Minhao looked at Kang Hui blankly, thinking: Sister Kang, what do you mean by this? I’m not good at acting, but what about outside of acting? What will she do to me
Forget it, let’s not think about it for now. Maybe I won’t be able to join the crew of “Detective” yet. Let’s take it one step at a time.
