Chapter 23: A New Invitation
"Deputy Director Zheng, someone is here. β
Came to a small office building, an office on the fourth floor.
The staff who picked him up are probably also assistant directors. Led into a room, where a man in his thirties and less than forty sat watching the computer sort out something.
Hearing the voice, he glanced up and motioned for the assistant to leave.
got up, not enthusiastic, but not cold, shook hands with Han Wei: "Zheng Qiang, deputy director of the crew." β
Han Wei was stunned: "Assistant director......"
He didn't mean anything else. Normally, no matter how big or small the role is, what the artist's coffee position is. The crew invites you, even if you are a big director, you have to go through the procedure. For example, give the script such as inviting first, and then everyone makes an appointment.
Similar to the situation where Han Yan came alone and was picked up, there are not too many.
In particular, it is also the reception of the assistant director......
Although it is certain that the director cannot manage everything, but if it is not a big production, the director will definitely pick it himself. Unless it's a big production, the audition kind. It's the assistant director who screens it, and the rest is for the director or whoever looks at it.
And Han Wei feels that the name of this movie is a little familiar.
When you come to this life, many people don't know each other. And many film and television dramas and even variety show names have changed.
While he has to work hard to match the number, some of his own previous lives may not know and understand.
He hasn't read the script yet, but it seems to be very similar to a movie in his previous life. Just not sure.
But it doesn't matter, let's talk about it when we meet. But he didn't expect that he might not be able to read his script.
"How?"
Deputy Director Zheng Qiang jokingly asked Han Wei: "Think I'm the assistant director?"
Han Wei smiled: "That's not it. But it looks like there are a lot of competitors?"
Zheng Qiang paused and looked at Han Wei: "Have you ever learned to play the drums?"
Han Wei shook his head: "If you talk about guitar, you can also talk about bass, and other instruments will ......."
Zheng Qiang was a little regretful: "Then I'm afraid it won't be easy." β
Han Wei was surprised and looked at Zheng Qiang uncertainly: "This won't be sweeping the floor, right?"
Zheng Qiang looked at Han Wei with a strange expression: "Do you really not know or are you pretending to be confused?"
A little helpless: "If you pretend to be confused, you will be embarrassed for me." β
Han Wei smiled: "You contacted me last night, and I came at noon." You say I'm embarrassed by you?"
Zheng Qiang also felt that it was not so coincidental, and looked at Han Wei suspiciously: "You didn't receive the news? We called your agent in the morning." A brief explanation of the situation. β
Han Wei was puzzled, and subconsciously held the mobile phone, and sure enough, it was turned off just now. He couldn't start it, just enough to call the staff who picked him up.
"I forgot to charge my phone. β
Han Wei looked at Zheng Qiang: "Is there any problem? I should still be on the plane in the morning." But when I just contacted your staff to pick up the airport, there were a few text messages......"
Then he laughed: "You just tell me directly." I'm all here. I don't have to pester you for a role. But at least you don't play people, you can't play without drums, you can say this on the phone last night, you have to slip me away?"
Zheng Qiang was silent for a moment, and his tone and attitude were much softener than just now.
got up and poured a glass of water for Han Wei, Han Wei took it politely, and didn't drink it, but waited.
The other exhaled, closed the door, and sat down again.
"It's okay to say it to your face. β
Zheng Qiang raised his hand and signaled: "I will declare first." The program team didn't mean to look down on you, and at the same time, the reason why our director Xiaokun didn't see you in person was because he wanted everyone to save some face and didn't want to offend people. What I say next, you know. If you are willing to go outside and say whatever you want, we will definitely not admit it. You're going to be in a shameless mess then. β
Han Wei frowned: "I haven't been active for two years, so I won't be so dead-skinned." β
Zheng Qiang smiled: "We have also done this to understand." When you were active, you had a good reputation and good connections. plus the image and temperament are all in line, otherwise our director Xiaokun will not look for you. β
Han Wei didn't speak. None of this is useful, it's all reversed anyway, he wants to hear the reason.
Zheng Qiang hesitated for a moment and looked at Han Wei: "Do you know Wang Yuan?"
Han Wei frowned and thought.
Wang Yuan......
Suddenly clapped his hands: "The one who took the meteor shower with Deng Shuang?"
Zheng Qiang looked weird: "You don't have a very deep impression of him." β
Han Wei was puzzled: "In my impression, it seems that I haven't seen him." And they haven't worked together. β
Zheng Qiang paused, nodded and spoke: "His girlfriend happens to be the heroine of this play." I don't know why, but when I happened to be talking to our director today, I knew that I was going to invite you to play the drummer of the band. As a result, the heroine was a little unhappy, and after leaving under the pretext, she came back not long after, and the agent and our director reacted......"
Han Wei is not stupid, but he has no experience in the entertainment industry.
Why are people telling you this? Although Han Wei was still confused, he already had a little hunch......
"I ...... ...... by her Kicked out?"
Han Wei asked Zheng Qiang tentatively, but Zheng Qiang didn't speak, just acquiesced.
"Heh......"
Han Wei smiled: "What a big name, can I mess with people?"
Zheng Qiang waved his hand: "It's not a problem of big and small cards." First, you should know the rules of the circle. There are indeed contradictions between many actors and stars, if you come, he won't come, and if he comes, he won't come. So at the beginning, if you sign a contract, you will read the script and agree, and then you will ask who you are cooperating with. If there is a contradiction, there will be no cooperation. Unless, of course, the director is a big director, or the play is particularly attractive, that's another story. β
looked at Han Wei: "This is not an important role. Just one of the drummers. So Director Xiao Kun also roughly said the other lineups, and the other party signed it because he thought it was nothing. Now that I suddenly joined you, Director Xiao Kun didn't expect it, so he asked the reason, and it was definitely impossible for her to really kick it away when she said it......"
Han Wei frowned: "What do you mean? After Director Xiao Kun asked the reason, he felt that he didn't want to sign me, which is also in line with human feelings?"
Zheng Qiang endured and endured, and looked at Han Wei: "Are you sure you really don't know?
Han Wei was stunned: "I took the ......"
In a flash of inspiration, this Deputy Director Zheng has been "talking nonsense" for so long, but Han Wei has put on all the information.
Sword Tiger 2, then Wang Yuan, and then his girlfriend happens to be the heroine of this play.
"I took on his role. β
Han Wei looked at Zheng Qiang: "So his girlfriend knew that I was going to play a drummer in this crew, so she kicked me away for some reason?"
Zheng Qiang frowned: "Don't you know how you got into Sword Tiger 2 by yourself?"
Han Wei didn't speak again. He definitely didn't know it before, thinking that it was the resources that the company and even Sister Chen found for him, at least Director Wu Xing didn't know where to inquire about his situation, and saw that he was pitiful?
It seems naΓ―ve now.
Later generations knew that although the box office of this movie was not optimistic at first, what did he say after its release? And it was not the first time that the actor was changed. The heroine in it is not the heroine of the later, she was a second- or third-tier at first, and then she found the current one.
So after that phone call, he became more and more convinced that it was the resources given by that so-and-so.
At this moment, it can be regarded as a complete confirmation.
Otherwise, Mr. Xu doesn't know it's normal, but it's impossible for Sister Chen not to know.
"That ......"
Han Wei wanted to laugh and looked at Zheng Qiang: "I said I really don't know, you probably don't believe it, right?"
Zheng Qiang's face softened: "I believe it." β
Han Wei was stunned.
Zheng Qiang spoke: "In order to promote newcomers, or to grab resources for their own artists, the company may not tell the artists." This was also a company business. β
Looking at Han Wei, Zheng Qiang spoke: "So after we learned about it, we called your company first." But your company knew the situation and didn't say much. And now it's not a question of whether you know it or not, do you know it, you have already topped it. People are still coming back, and besides, ......"
Zheng Qiang didn't say much, but Han Wei could understand.
Besides, how to choose the heroine and supporting actor, do you still need to think about it?
Not to mention the role, Han Wei doesn't know how popular the heroine is, but it is enough for him to know how popular he is now.
After pondering for a moment, Han Wei nodded: "Is there a turn?"
Zheng Qiang shook his head: "We thought you already knew." But I still asked someone to pick you up, and I wanted to go through the motions. If you don't know how to play drums, you can practice in advance, after all, the machine will only start in early April. There is still more than a month to go, you don't need to learn, just enough to shoot the meaning. β
Han Wei knew that this was an excuse.
"Then I get it. β
Han Wei got up and shook hands with Zheng Qiang: "My company didn't say anything, and I don't have anything to say." It's also fair, one report for another. β
Zheng Qiang nodded: "I'm sorry." I hope you understand......"
Han Wei spoke: "Understood." After all, it's my own reason, and it has nothing to do with the crew. β
Otherwise, what could Han Wei say.
Zheng Qiang sent Han Wei out, and this kind of thing has actually seen a lot. It will not be announced to the public.
After a few polite words, I sent it to the elevator, and I went back.
Anyway, looking at Han Wei is quite calm, the key is that compared to Han Wei, Han Wei's company has nothing to say. And it was settled.
Now that I am speaking out, how many artists can call the shots, and it is not the business of the company and the agent?
Han Wei stood there alone, but he was very calm.
I even want to laugh a little.
It's called something, but it doesn't matter. Sword Tiger 2 has been filmed, and it has already been decided.
Even if I inadvertently topped someone, no matter what I thought at the moment, being kicked out for no reason was not for nothing, although it was a bit embarrassing.
Then, I don't know how to be so coincidental, or if this probability is not small.
When I was waiting for the elevator, I saw a polite voice at the corner of the corridor, a man and a woman.
At first, Han Wei didn't care, he just heard footsteps.
He didn't think about who he would be recognized now, after all, he hadn't been active for two years. Just at the airport no one cared.
As a result, after the people walked out, the elevator had already come. Han Wei stepped in, wanting to wait for a while, but the elevator door was already closed. The other party ran a few steps and was about to come over, it was a man, Han Wei was just about to press the elevator door to open, and then he saw a face, and he was stunned......
I was stunned, and my hand didn't press down. The elevator doors have closed and are slowly falling. It is useless to press it outside.
"What kind of person?!"
"Don't say it. β
"Deserved to be kicked out......"
"Tell me to stop talking!!"
A male voice and a female voice, the female voice is very good, but it is a little cold.
The male voice was like a shrew's mouth, and Han Wei knew that he was talking about him.
Although Han Wei didn't see it too clearly, he recognized it in his mind at a glance.
That's the heroine who kicked away herself, Wang Yuan's girlfriend.
Wipe......
