Chapter 841: Defeated
"Luo Kai? I'm Zhang Guocheng. ”
The voice from the mobile phone made Luo Kai's heart sink, and he quickly replied: "Hello Director Zhang, I'm Luo Kai." ”
He covered his phone, gestured at Mo Lan, and then walked to the corner to continue the conversation.
"Luo Kai, I'm really embarrassed..."
Zhang Guocheng brought Luo Kai bad news, just this morning, at the "Thunder Action" negotiation meeting held by China Film, representatives of China Film, Red Flag, Jiandun and the military decided to have Ouyang Zhenhai as the chief director of the film after discussion.
Therefore, in this director selection, Luo Kai was out.
Of course, the position of the leading actor is still his, after all, in terms of image, popularity, and talent, there are really few actors in China who can compare with Luo Kai, and he can at least guarantee a box office of hundreds of millions as the leading actor.
"I didn't attend this meeting because of my health..."
Zhang Guocheng said: "Although I voted for you, and the leaders of China Film and Jiandun also support you, but there are concerns on it, mainly because you are worried that your experience is not enough to control such a theme, so in the end, I chose Ouyang Zhenhai, I hope you can understand." ”
Compared with Luo Kai, Ouyang Zhenhai, as a representative of the fifth generation of directors, has much more qualifications, and Ouyang Zhenhai has filmed two military-themed movies, and his reputation is quite good, so it is normal to choose him above.
Luo Kai didn't expect things to come to an end so quickly, he just visited Zhang Guocheng two days ago and sent him a carefully prepared storyboard script, but unfortunately he couldn't get his wish in the end.
To say that he doesn't care at all, it must be fake, but for Luo Kai, it is not much of a loss, after all, after experiencing the life of two worlds, he has already sharpened his open-mindedness without being shocked by honor and disgrace.
"I totally understand and thank you very much for your support and love. ”
Luo Kai said to Zhang Guocheng: "Actually, it's not a bad thing that I can't direct this movie, at least I can concentrate on playing a good role." ”
Zhang Guocheng hahaha: "It's good that you can think like this, you are still very young, and there will be opportunities in the future." ”
After a pause, he said with some regret: "It's a pity that you made up the storyboard script, Ouyang Zhenhai probably won't like it, he must have his own ideas." ”
Normally, the storyboard script made by Luo Kai can be handed over to Ouyang Zhenhai as a reference, so that Luo Kai's hard work will not be wasted.
But the question is, can Ouyang Zhenhai accept it?
Zhang Guocheng knows Ouyang Zhenhai very well, and knows that doing so will never make Ouyang Zhenhai happy - I am a director, and I need a storyboard script starring me?
It is not uncommon for screenwriters to work hard to write scripts, and in the end they are changed beyond recognition by the director during the filming process, especially those directors who have their own set of ideas and ideas.
So after learning the result, he didn't take Luo Kai's storyboard script, and reminded Luo Kai in a tactful tone.
Luo Kai understood: "I understand, thank you Director Zhang." ”
"You're welcome..."
Zhang Guocheng sighed: "I didn't help, by the way, my granddaughter Yuanyuan didn't trouble you, right?"
"No, no, no. ”
Luo Kai hurriedly said: "I gave Miss Yuanyuan a business card for easy contact." ”
"That's good..."
Zhang Guocheng said: "She is estimated to play a role in this movie, you take proper care of her." ”
This is a trivial matter, Luo Kai agreed without thinking.
In fact, with Zhang Guocheng's status and connections in the circle, there is no need for Luo Kai to take care of his granddaughter, and some people are willing to carry a sedan chair for Wang Yuanyuan.
Zhang Guocheng said to Luo Kai like this, I am afraid it is more to express appreciation and closeness, of course, there is also the meaning of paving the way for his granddaughter, after all, Luo Kai is in the circle, and he is also the leading actor of "Thunder Operation", it is very convenient to take care of her.
Zhang Guocheng was not in good health and had little energy, so he didn't talk to Luo Kai for a long time, and ended the call after continuing to chat for a few words.
Luo Kai put away his mobile phone and returned to Mo Lan and the others, and continued to accompany them to see the house as if nothing had happened.
After looking at the upper and lower floors of this house, including the courtyard outside, Luo Kai will take Mo Lan, Xia Ying and Niuniu back to his home in Xijiao Village.
Lunch is eaten here.
On the way back to Shengjing Yadu's new home in the afternoon, Mo Lan, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, suddenly asked, "What's wrong?"
Luo Kai: "Huh?"
Mo Lan glanced at him and said angrily: "Don't think I can't see it, didn't you receive a call from Director Zhang in the morning?
Luo Kai embarrassed: "You can see this?"
He thought that he had hidden his emotions well, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't have exposed anything, but he didn't expect Mo Lan's intuition to be so sharp that he actually guessed the truth.
He didn't hide it, because he was also going to tell Mo Lan after he went back: "I lost the election." ”
"That's right..."
Mo Lan bit her lip, and her voice became gentle: "Don't be disappointed, we'll shoot it ourselves in the future." ”
She witnessed the process of the storyboard being released, and knew how hard Luo Kai had been forgetting to sleep and eat in the past few days, although she had guessed before, now that she knew the result, she still felt a faint pain in her heart.
I feel sorry for Luo Kai.
There was also a bit of indignation.
"It's fine. ”
Luo Kai smiled dumbly, and in turn relieved: "The actor is still me." ”
Mo Lan diverted the topic: "What you want to eat at night, I'll make it for you." ”
Luo Kai couldn't cry or laugh, he was a little disappointed at most with the result of the defeat, not to the extent of being hit, Mo Lan's reaction was a little exaggerated.
But just like that, Mo Lan's thoughtfulness touched him.
Luo Kai wanted to laugh at "I want to eat you", but unfortunately Niuniu couldn't drive around in the back seat, so he couldn't hold back, coughed and said: "Red stewed lamb chops, I ate it very well last time." ”
"I'm going to eat tomato fish!"
Niu Niu raised her hand behind her and said, "I also want small potatoes with salt and pepper!"
Mo Lan smiled: "Okay, then let's go to the supermarket to buy vegetables now, go to Huafeng, there are more things." ”
In the evening, Mo Lan tried her best to make a table of delicious dishes, in addition to the red stewed lamb chops, tomato fish and pepper and salt potatoes ordered by Luo Kai and Niuniu, she also made garlic lobster, assorted seasonal vegetable soup, etc., so that Luo Kai and Niuniu feasted and ate a round stomach.
Mo Lan also opened a bottle of Bordeaux red wine sent by Zhang Zeyi, drank a glass by himself, and drank the rest by Luo Kai, and then Luo Kai did not need to clean up the dishes and chopsticks after the meal, which was extremely gentle and considerate.
This made Luo Kai feel that failure was a good thing, and a little depression in his heart was gone.
