If it is said that the filmed TV series or movie cannot pass the review in the end, which is the first thing that the entire crew does not want to happen, then the actor who cannot come to act due to a temporary accident is the second thing that the entire crew does not want to happen.

The right actors are not in place as scheduled, and no matter how awesome the director is, he can't finish the shooting of a movie or TV series. A chef who wants to stew beef brisket with potatoes boils all the pots, only to find that the most important brisket has not been bought, and his mentality is about to collapse.

Because no matter how capable a person or team is, if they lack the necessary conditions when doing things, they will not succeed, so a suitable actor is a necessary condition for the success of a movie.

Because of this, Chen Minhao actually pays special attention to the arrival of the actor in the role of Siyuan.

Because the audience is irrational, they often can't see, or are unwilling to understand the logic behind things, and only choose to focus on the surface of things and their direct emotions.

If Siyuan's suitable actress in "Detective" has not been in place, and the crew chooses to settle down, it is likely to cause Chen Minhao to appear in the first movie as the starring role.

The audience, investors, and other directors could not accurately judge that Chen Minhao's acting skills were good, and his contribution to the box office in "Detective" was not small, but he was delayed by an actress who was not suitable to play Siyuan.

They will only hastily come to one conclusion: the first movie starring Chen Minhao is a mess, and Chen Minhao can't afford the box office. Simple attribution is a common mistake that most people in this world make.

But although Chen Minhao wants to work with the director to solve this problem together. But Director Hu Defa did not take the initiative to ask Chen Minhao to find a suitable actor, plus some other leading actors, such as Wang Ruozhou and Huang Feifei, did not take the initiative to open up this matter, which made Chen Minhao a little embarrassed to speak.

In Chen Minhao's view, when others do not open their mouths to ask for help, it may not be pleasing to take the initiative to help, and it is even easy to leave a bad impression of being nosy.

In addition, an important principle of Chen Minhao to help others is to wait for a fire to break out and put out the fire, not to help others prevent it.

In his previous life, Chen Minhao once read such a story.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a famous doctor named Bian Que, and one day King Wen of Wei asked Bian Que: "The three of your brothers are all doctors, so which of the three of you has the best medical skills?"

Bian Que replied: "The eldest brother is the best, the middle brother is the second, and I am the worst." ”

King Wei Wen asked puzzledly, "Then why are you the most famous of the three?"

Bian Que replied: "The eldest brother's treatment of the disease is before the onset of the disease, because ordinary people do not know that he can eradicate the cause of the disease in advance, so his fame cannot be spread;

The middle brother's treatment of diseases was to treat diseases at the beginning of the disease, and most people thought that he could only treat minor diseases, so his fame was only in his hometown;

When I was curing a serious illness, most people saw me perform major surgeries such as bleeding through needles and tubes in the meridians and applying medicine to the skin, so they thought that my medical skills were excellent, and my fame was resounding all over the country. ”

The inspiration of this story to Chen Minhao is not that we should be humble, nor that we should take precautions, but that when we help others in the future, the benefits of helping others in the early stage of a matter are far less than the benefits after the matter becomes worse and serious.

The later you help, the worse things will be, the bigger the problem solved, and the greater the credit will be given to you.

Now the crew has slowed down for a week because of the absence of Siyuan's actors. And so far, director Hu Defa has not found a relatively reliable actor who can play Siyuan, so now the whole crew is in a state of anxiety, and an inexplicable sense of powerlessness lingers in the hearts of the entire crew.

And if this matter drags on any longer, bull ghosts and snake gods like Wang Xueqing will run out, so Chen Minhao feels that the time is almost now.

Chen Minhao sent a WeChat message to Director Hu Defa: "Director, how did you find our Siyuan." ”

Hu Defa immediately replied to Chen Minhao's WeChat: "Say it in person, you come to my room now, 918." ”

After Chen Minhao knocked on the door and entered the 918 room of the hotel, he saw that the director Hu Defa was sitting on the sofa, it was the producer Tian Lin who opened the door for Chen Minhao, and Tian Lin was still holding a lit cigarette in his hand.

The two of them smoked so much that there were so many cigarette butts that they couldn't fit in an ashtray. There was also half a bottle of mineral water on the table, and there were also a lot of cigarette butts stuffed in it. The whole room was filled with the smell of burning straw in the fields in the north in autumn, and Chen Minhao wanted to ask, how many cigarettes did you smoke?

Director Hu Defa propped himself up on his elbows and asked listlessly, "Xiao Chen, what's the matter with you?"

Chen Minhao thought to himself, Hu Defa is really vague.

Chen Minhao walked to the window, opened the window first, let in fresh air, and then sat opposite Hu Defa and asked, "I want to ask how our Siyuan actress is looking now? After all, my school will open in early March." If I wanted to take a leave of absence, I had to tell the school teacher in advance. ”

Hu Defa and Tian Lin looked at each other tacitly, and both raised their eyebrows to signal each other to answer.

In the end, producer Tian Lin's face was relatively thin, and when he was defeated, he said with a guilty face: "I'm sorry, Xiao Chen." We haven't found a particularly suitable actress for Siyuan, so we may have to trouble you and the school to ask for leave. However, we will pay you the amount agreed in the contract after the filming is completed, according to the amount agreed in the contract.

But you don't have to worry too much about delays, and if we don't have the right person by the end of next week, we'll find other ways to fix it. ”

Hu Defa, who was originally paralyzed on the sofa, jumped up suddenly, glared and said, "No, the method you said doesn't work, I don't accept it." ”

After Chen Minhao listened to the two of them fighting for more than a dozen rounds, he probably understood the current thoughts of the two.

Tian Lin's idea is that if we really can't find a suitable actor who can play the role of Siyuan, then we can choose to change the script and reduce the complexity of the role of Siyuan, then the corresponding acting requirements will be low, then the range of actresses to choose from will be expanded a lot, and the entire crew will not be stagnant because of the absence of an actor.

And Hu Defa felt that the script of Siyuan's character could not be changed, once this role was changed, the core of the entire movie would be lost, and the whole movie would become a purely nonsensical comedy.
