Of course, the wealthy businessman did not ask Chen Juntao and his young son to grab the role, he introduced another character from another drama.
"What do you mean?" Chen Juntao felt a little confused.
The reason why the other party called him was not to let him run for the role
"Although my son graduated with a major in film and television, he is a newcomer after all. I can't guarantee that he will be able to successfully run for the role this time. So I need a double insurance."
The wealthy businessman had checked Mei Zihan's background before, and he had to admit that if this person entered the audition with his son, then the possibility of his son successfully running for the role was almost zero. The only advantage his son had was that he was really the son of an Eastern merchant.
But what good is such a small advantage? If his son didn't really like this role, he would have gotten it no matter what. He could have made his son invest in another film. Why spend so much manpower and material resources just to grab such a role that is unlikely to be competitive
Chen Juntao was the insurance that a rich businessman found for his son.
Mei Zihan's domestic popularity and commerciality have reached the peak of young actors, and now he can threaten only a few movie kings like Chen Juntao.
In other words, if he wanted to overwhelm Mei Zihan in this audition, he had to invite one of the four great movie stars. And he happened to have Chen Juntao's phone number, so this call was made.
"You want me to get this role through an audition, and then let me give up at a critical moment and let your son come in as a substitute, right?" Chen Juntao is indeed a person who has been in the entertainment circle for many years, and he quickly understood The meaning of the other party.
Once he got this role, Mei Zihan would definitely give up and seek other roles. Even if it was reported that he had given up before the machine was turned on, Mei Zihan would not be able to pick up on his mistakes. The only suitable candidate at that time would be the son of the rich businessman.
Who does this rich businessman think he is? Are the eyelids so shallow
Chen Juntao was about to be laughed at by the other party's shamelessness.
Temporarily tearing up the contract before starting the machine, how much damage is this to your reputation? Mei Zihan did threaten him, but he was a respectable opponent.
Even if he wanted to deal with Mei Zihan, no matter what method he used, it was his business. But why should he use his reputation to carry the sedan chair for an irrelevant person
"Sorry I'm not interested." Chen Juntao hung up the phone resolutely.
Soon, the rich businessman called again.
"Mr. Chen, don't rush to refuse." The wealthy businessman realized that his words might have hurt the actor's self-esteem, "Mr. Chen, I know that your relationship with Mei Zihan is not that good, because he has already threatened you. Now you There are no TV dramas and movies suitable for him in China, so he turned his attention to foreign countries. Do you know how good the director of this crew, Will Gaitan, is? He is a potential stock that is destined to go up and down. Some people want to invest in him because of his potential, and some people want to suppress him."
"Don't you want to compete with Mei Zihan in this audition?"
"I will compete with him, but I will never tear up the role of this drama. Thank you for telling me the news. In addition, I want to tell you that our actors are not as poor as you think."
This time, Chen Juntao directly deleted the other party's contact information.
The rich Chinese businessman almost twisted his neck in anger.
This time it was considered that he stole the chicken without losing money. Not only did he not buy a new insurance for his son, but he added an outstanding competitor.
"Xiao Shan, you should work hard on this matter this time. Dad has done enough for you." The rich businessman said to his son impatiently. For such a small role, he didn't know how many gifts he gave to the high-level executives of the TV station.
Without the intervention of investors, he had already taken this role, but who knew that such a small actor would have such a strong capital behind him
Although the idea of the wealthy businessman at the time was that a role that can be supported by such a strong fund must be a good role.
Chen Juntao fell into deep thought here.
However, this role requires the rich businessman and Mei Zihan to compete with each other, and even invite him to carry the sedan chair, which means that this role is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Chen Juntao thought of the situation where he had been confronted with others for many years.
The reason why Li Ruo was able to overwhelm them was because he had made his name in the world
If he can do it too, then the balance of the four great movie kings will be broken.
At the same time, he can overwhelm Mei Zihan, isn't it a double win
Thinking about it this way, the phone call from this rich businessman may not be a bad thing.
Chen Juntao still has some friends in the world, so he contacted Will, hoping to join this audition together.
Of course Will is welcome here, the more people come, the more fair the audition will be. The faster various capitals enter, the easier it is for him to fish in troubled waters. In this way, he can let Mei Zihan get the role safely.
Mei Zihan was not very surprised to receive this news.
Liu Tianyi also said before that when Li Ruo just tried to enter the international market, he did not know how many hidden losses he suffered. Even though she was already the grand slam of domestic actresses at that time, what she got was just some insignificant small roles, and some characters even changed their personalities temporarily when the filming started, or after the film was released, the branch line about her Compared with things like being cut to nothing, the things that Mei Zihan encountered are nothing.
"Honey, what's there to be angry about? Everything is difficult at the beginning." Mei Zihan was very calm about this. Now it's not that he has been robbed of the role, it's just that he needs another audition. If Jiang Ying didn't invest at the beginning, then he might not even have the chance to audition now.
After all, Jiang Ying is not the person in charge of the Jiang family. Even if she is a cousin, she may not be able to get her hands on the international entertainment circle.
"You're not angry at all." Jiang Ying was amused by Mei Zihan's appearance.
"You and Liu Tianyi have been angry for several rounds. If I am also angry, I'm afraid we are three powder kegs." Before, I was almost able to climb onto Jiang Ying's bed, but failed so much Sometimes, even sometimes, I was clearly able to succeed, but I couldn't persevere. If it would be useful for these things to be angry, they are already in the grave with anger, and the grass on the grave is as high as a person.
Mei Zihan has always been content and happy. Of course, you can also say that he is a salted fish.
But now the filming of "The Great Devil" is progressing very well, and the scene with Tong Heng is also performing heartily. Even the relationship with the director Guan Yue needs to be improved. What I eat all the time is honey, and I really need a Coptis chinensis to spice it up.
Besides, it's just an audition, and it's not like there's no show left.
It's not Mei Zihan, he really has confidence in the role of Feng.
"I thought I could help you all the way smoothly, but I didn't expect to encounter setbacks at the first step." Jiang Ying hugged Mei Zihan, "I just feel a little sad."
Thinking that you can do everything, you find that you can't control the development of the situation. This feeling is very bad, very inconsistent with Jiang Ying's habits.
Although Jiang Ying's desire to control has improved after talking with Mei Zihan, after all, he has lived in this way for so many years, and the influence of the original role has penetrated into his life and has become a part of him.
Jiang Ying can only be like this now.
"How can you say that? Without you, I wouldn't be able to touch this role." Mei Zihan has always been a contented person, and now he has achieved his biggest goal in life - Sleeping Jiang Ying. He has a car, a house, savings, looks good, and is popular. He is a typical case of a winner in life.
He already has so much, if he blames others because of a little setback, it will seem a bit too ignorant.
The male lead in entertainment novels may not be as smooth as him!
So many novels in the entertainment industry have to be adopted, but I am serious about falling in love!
Mei Zihan subconsciously ignored the fact that she failed in seeking a foster care.
"Don't be so angry." Mei Zihan took out a script as if offering a treasure, "This is the original script of the Xingyue Repertory Troupe that Liu Tianyi sent me. The content is quite interesting, but I am unlikely to I'll pick it up, because it's timing conflicts with The Crown. But it's also a pretty tough script, honestly, I've never tried this genre, and I hope you can help me."
"Huh?" Jiang Ying was a little curious. Mei Zihan's current acting skills have begun to have his own unique style. He should be able to handle many roles with ease, and he has a thousand faces. Now there is still a role that he can't play, do you need other help
When Mei Zihan gave the script to Jiang Ying, Jiang Ying couldn't wait to read it.
Mei Zihan sat aside and smiled, looking very serious.
About half an hour passed.
Jiang Ying's face gradually became serious.
He raised his head and gave Mei Zihan a solemn look.
"It's true that you haven't tried this kind of role before, and it's not easy to play alone. I should really help you." Jiang Ying looked like a good teacher, as if teaching his immature students.
"In order to act realistically, I also found someone to take two similar costumes. You know that I have always strived for excellence in acting, and I will have to trouble you to help me get caught in such a scene in the next few days." " Mei Zihan replied with the same seriousness, "If the acting is not good, you may have to do it all over again."
The two had a serious and friendly academic exchange discussion, and then decided on the place and time of the exchange, and then began to study the script together.
The author has something to say: Many people think that it is impossible for Meimei to compete with newcomers for roles. Under this premise, everyone seems to have forgotten the issue of nationality. Of course, it is impossible for me to arrange this in China, but the current situation is that if domestic actors want to act in other countries, it is equivalent to starting from scratch. Meimei was able to get this opportunity because of Jiang Ying's classmate relationship and investment money. Of course, looking at it this way will make you feel aggrieved, but domestic actors are really discriminated against internationally. Sometimes there are many actors who want to grab a single-sentence feature in a Hollywood commercial movie.
Just like many people hate actors who take foreign nationality after becoming famous, people in other countries are often willing to choose actors of local Chinese descent. This is a matter of national sentiment.
As for Chen Juntao, 233333, in Will's opinion, there is really not much difference. Generally, great directors in the United States only recognize a few prestigious awards in the United States, and they don't really recognize awards from other countries. Furthermore, as I mentioned earlier, Chen Juntao won an award for a literary film.
There are so many film festivals and movie stars in a year, but how many are famous? Do you know that the actor is also acting in online dramas? But it seems that Tony Leung is the most recognized film king. But there are really many movie stars.
ps: I probably explained so much, but I still can't accept it and I can't help it. I have definitely considered the rationality, there is no doubt about it.
