The shooting schedule of "Xiaocheng Chronicle" was finally completed within three days. After the last scene of Wei Xianliang committing suicide, the director took the initiative to take Cheng Zhi and Kang Chen out for dinner.
Cheng Zhi originally felt that he was a foil. After all, the main purpose of the director's role as the host was to thank Kang Chen, a superstar who mass-produces five films a year and rarely participates in other activities, for coming to the cameo.
As a rookie partner who was lucky to work with Kang Chen, Cheng Zhi just came here for a formality.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the meal, the director seriously called him aside, praised him a few words, gave him a business card and said with a smile: "You can contact this person, he is a foreign director, and I am familiar with him recently. I am looking for an oriental face suitable for acting in a movie, you can look up his works, if you are interested, I suggest you try it.”
In private dinners, it is common for directors to recommend acting opportunities to valued actors.
Most of the contacts in the entertainment circle are linked up like this. Cheng Zhi first starred in "Night Wind" because the screenwriter Hou Junmei recommended him, and after only three days of meeting, he was able to get guidance from the director who met not long ago. Cheng Zhi was surprised , Thank you several times in a row.
The director behaved calmly, he just waved his hand casually and stopped talking about this topic.
He turned to Kang Chen and said, "I actually have something I want to discuss with you. As you know, "Xiaocheng Chronicle" is scheduled to be released in early March, and it will be filmed at this time. There are two costume-type movies in the same period. Movie, can you come here once, why not..."
The director's words were a little cryptic, but how could the other two not understand the meaning in the words.
This is to use Kang Chen's fame to promote. Since Kang Chen himself is deeply rooted in the circle, even if they are directors and actors on one side, they have to ask Kang Chen in advance if they want to promote.
Kang Chen smiled and said, "Yes, I can help if necessary."
After getting an easy answer, the director smiled very happily. He waved his hand and chatted with Kang Chen for a few more words. The meal time was quickly shortened. After eating and drinking well, Cheng Zhi and Kang Chen both left.
The director only knew that Cheng Zhi and Kang Chen took the same taxi to the airport, but who knew that Kang Chen and Cheng Zhishun were not only in this taxi, but also on the plane back, the male assistant accompanying them, and the sleeping couple bed!
On the way, Cheng Zhi teased lazily: "You have a lot of face, and the director has to ask you for promotion."
"His propaganda is no ordinary propaganda."
Cheng Zhi asked strangely: "How can publicity be unusual?" While answering the question, he found out the business card that the director gave him just now, and said with a smile: "However, the director also specially recommended opportunities for me, which is really interesting."
This sentence followed the previous one, but he typed away the conversation. Kang Chen wanted to explain the propaganda, but when he caught sight of the business card in Cheng Zhi's hand, he suddenly paused.
"Hey, it's him?"
Kang Chen's expression was rarely shocked, and Cheng Zhi scanned the name on the business card again, and said, "You know him?"
Kang Chen smiled, and didn't know where to introduce him, so he said in the simplest way: "You can check it online, I didn't expect that this director, who just gave it to me, gave it to me like this." Expensive for a ticket."
Although it is just a business card, once it passes from the director to Cheng Zhi, it is equivalent to building a bridge. The director voluntarily acts as an intermediary for Cheng Zhi, and in this circle, the intermediary is often the most difficult to find. move.
Hearing Kang Chen's tone, Cheng Zhi paid a little more attention to the owner of this business card. After searching the Internet, he could understand Kang Chen's meaning by scanning the characters' biographies and series of works.
This foreign director can be said to be an international giant. Every movie he makes is not limited to a certain country, but is released simultaneously in multiple countries. The term "international" is well-deserved.
Cheng Zhi is reborn, and he doesn't know anyone in the current international film industry, but he has the attitude and vision to see things, and knows how to distinguish a successful director.
The man on the business card in front of him is undoubtedly the pillar of the director world. He is different from Bai Changming, Xu Fei and others that Cheng Zhi has come into contact with. He takes the international route, and the sci-fi special effects are at the forefront of the world. The films he makes have a popular and easy-to-understand The title is called blockbuster.
Contacts for international blockbuster directors…
Tsk tsk tsk, this ticket is so heavy that there is nothing to say.
A group of people, the most excited is the male assistant who knows when to hide and when to show up. Zhen Jingye almost immediately turned on the laptop, and said while checking: "I'll look for it, ah, I have it,' The movie Judao is currently preparing is 100% this "World Game", and both male and female stars have been confirmed, one is an Austrian-American, and the other is a popular Italian actress."
""World Game"...it's very 'Giant Director' style."
As he talked, Kang Chen gave the director the title of 'Great Director'. Without being caught by his thoughtful eyes, Cheng Zhi had already planned this extremely challenging opportunity in his heart.
