With less than a month left before the completion of "Xuan Zhan", Xiang Chen has already begun to select the script for the next play.

and Han Jinshen's CP hype, which can be regarded as making Xiang Chen have a sense of presence on the Internet, and now it is also a little popular, plus now there is such a big IP male second body as "Xuan Zhan", Xiang Chen can also be regarded as half a potential stock, so there are also scripts that take the initiative to find Xiang Chen, including the male number one.

It's just that although Xiang Chen is a little popular, he is currently only limited to a small circle, so the famous director and big production look down on him, or he is only willing to give him a small supporting role, and the shoddy script team, Xiang Chen doesn't want to waste time, after all, he has suffered from bad dramas in the past three years.

Hua Nan fought for a lot of excellent scripts for Xiang Chen, screened them out, and finally chose to stay on three scripts, a male number one in an online drama with an eye-catching theme and a reliable team, a modern star drama male number two directed by a famous domestic director and a popular IP, and a male number one who is also on the star but the team is relatively not so famous.

Hua Nan didn't want Xiang Chen to edge other actors, so he suggested that Xiang Chen choose among the two male number one scripts, but Xiang Chen wanted an excellent team script and had a soft spot for the role of the male number two.

"The script you choose now will definitely be broadcast after "Xuan Zhan". Hua Nan analyzed, "And after the broadcast of "Xuan Zhan", your popularity has skyrocketed, and if you follow up with a male No. 2 work, I don't think it's appropriate." ”

"The male number two of the excellent script team is beneficial to the accumulation of word of mouth. Xiang Chen said, "I don't know what the broadcast effect of "Xuan Zhan" will be, and it is too dangerous to think about everything too ideally now. ”

"Then you only want this male No. 2 script?" Hua Nan put his hand against his chin and said with a complicated gaze, "But the male number one in this script is well-known in the industry for his love of changing dramas, and in order to beautify his own character, he often changes various incorrect views of other supporting roles, this script team is very good, but the biggest investor in this drama is the financier of this male number one, and I don't know how many uncertainties there will be at that time." ”

“.......”

"Don't be surprised, there are so many things like this in the circle, I will tell you some of the inside stories I know, just to let you choose carefully. ”

Xiang Chen's brows furrowed, and he seemed to be entangled.

"Since you fancy the script team so much, then you might as well try the play directed by Zhou An. Hua Nan said suddenly.

Zhou An, a well-known domestic film director, ranks among the top three in China according to the director's strength, and the movies he directed have many actors, and the police drama starring Han Jinshen before, which was a box office hit and had a good reputation, was also directed by Zhou An.

Xiang Chen was extremely surprised, "Zhou... Director Zhou?"

"Director Zhou's new movie "Journey" is in preparation, and there is still a male number two left to be decided, the requirement is between 20 and 28 years old, with more than three years of acting experience, you all meet the requirements, it is better to try it. ”

Xiang Chen was excited, "Really, Sister Nan?"

"Actually, the second male number has already been decided, but just three days ago, the second male actor who was finally selected by Director Zhou was exposed to a scandal, it seems to be some kind of domestic violence ex-girlfriend, I guess it was a competitor who exploded, and then he was kicked by Director Zhou, and the position of the second male number was empty, so I re-selected. Hua Nan said unhurriedly, "I haven't heard the news yet, I'll contact that side later, and see if I can give you a chance to interview." ”

Xiang Chen said excitedly, "Thank you, Sister Nan." ”

"Thank you too early, Director Zhou's male number two is not so easy to get, the interviewers for this role are all actors with superb acting skills, you don't have any advantage in front of them. Hua Nan said, "Let me tell you the truth, our company previously pushed four actors to interview for this role, but three were brushed down in the first round, and the other fell in the second round." ”

"Sister Nan, why didn't you let me try it earlier. ”

"One is that I don't think you have much chance, and the other is that I don't want you to enter the film industry so early, my connections in the film industry are limited, and I really can't help you much now. Hua Nan said, "I can ask the relationship to fight for you a chance to get an interview, but I can't control the result, I can only rely on yourself." ”

"Either way, you have to try. ”

"Well, if you don't get selected, it's a big deal to come back and play the second male lead you like. ”

--------------

In the evening, Xiang Chen returned to the hotel after work and received a call from Hua Nan.

Hua Nan told Xiang Chen that she successfully won an interview opportunity for Xiang Chen, and at one o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, Xiang Chen only needed to go to Director Zhou's studio with the required information.

Xiang Chen immediately began to prepare the required interview materials, one of which was to bring a USB flash drive containing his past film and television works, and edit it for about half an hour.

In the past three years, Xiang Chen has indeed participated in dramas, but there are really no works that can be obtained, and his acting skills are indeed okay, but the inferior special effects lighting and costume props also make Xiang Chen's performance a little less empathetic.

Xiang Chen knew very well that the strength shown in his so-called works was not enough to impress Director Zhou, and he had to start from other aspects.

---------------------

On this day, Xiang Chen's shooting task was in the morning and evening, and he happened to go to see Director Zhou in the afternoon and half a day.

When Xiang Chen arrived at the door of Director Zhou's studio, he was told by the front desk that Director Zhou had gone out to dinner with friends at noon and had not come back.

Xiang Chen sat on the sofa in the rest area and waited patiently, and after waiting for nearly two hours, a slightly familiar man's voice suddenly came from overhead.

"Isn't this Xiang Chen?" his voice revealed an unabashed banter, "Are you waiting here to see Lao Zhou?"

Xiang Chen raised his head in response and was stunned for a moment.

The middle-aged man standing in front of Xiang Chen at this moment, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and looking fake compassion, is the director who took advantage of Xiang Chen at the banquet three years ago, and then was slapped by Xiang Chen, Li Jia.

The entertainment industry is indeed a circle, and if you want to climb up, it is impossible to bypass the people you hate but have a higher status than you.

"What's the matter, don't you remember me?" Li Jia looked at Xiang Chen with a smile, "I haven't seen you for three years, and I've become more handsome." ”

Xiang Chen slowly stood up from the sofa... He is no longer the frivolous and impulsive person he was three years ago.

He was able to do it with the necessary restraint.

"Of course I do. Xiang Chen said politely, "I didn't expect to see Director Li here, did you come to find Director Zhou?"

"Yes, I'll come over and discuss some cooperation with Lao Zhou. Li Jia smiled and said, "What about you, now you can come to Director Zhou, it seems that the development momentum is good." ”

Director Li said with a smile. Xiang Chen said, "It's just to interview for a role, whether I can meet Director Zhou now is one thing." ”

"Yes. Li Jia smiled, looked at Xiang Chen, and lowered his voice slightly, "If you can be in Lao Zhou's movie, then my slap back then was not in vain." ”
