CHAPTER XLIV

The preliminary work of the film version of "Breaking Dawn" is still underway, but "Painting the Country" has already taken the lead in selecting the characters to take makeup photos and officially start filming.

The directors of "Painting the Country", Han Ruoxu and Yan Ru are almost the same level, but one focuses on movies, and the other prefers TV series. Han Ruoxu was good at making martial arts movies in the early days, and with the national martial arts style set off by the martial arts films shot by a certain director who won awards overseas that year, he can be regarded as a young and famous, and he already had a well-received masterpiece when he was in his thirties, and he has been shooting commercial films in the next few years, making a lot of money.

However, Han Ruoxu, who is now past the age of sixtieth birthday, seems to have precipitated, and most of his works are fast food popcorn culture that came into being, and he can't help but sigh a little. remembered the original intention of getting involved in this circle when he was young, and then compared with the commercial films that obviously made money to cater to the audience, in his later years, he shot a movie that was enough to explain to himself back then, so he contacted an old friend of his who has been a screenwriter for many years, and the two jointly wrote the first draft of "Painting the Country".

When he first portrayed the eldest prince Xiao Yiren, Han Ruoxu had already decided on the best actor in his heart.

The appearance is tall and heroic, and he can be a stable brother in front of people, but he is lonely and tall in the back, and his whole body is full of imperial domineering, but he is too ruthless and conceited, and his hands are comparable to Uncle Zheng. Xiao Yiren was supposed to be a typical tyrant, but because he miscalculated the move of the three princes, he lost all the games and ended up with a miserable end.

Pei Ji. Han Ruoxu thought that this role could only be played by Pei Ji. He is not afraid of spending money, he is afraid that spending money will not buy the effect he wants.

Pei Ji's personal studio has just been completed not too long, and it is the time when he needs to make money, Han Ruoxu believes that if he cooperates with them, he will definitely get 200% serious treatment.

It turned out that he was right, Pei Ji dialed him the day after he got the script, not only agreed to cooperate and play the eldest prince, but also took the initiative to recommend another actor to him, who is said to have excellent acting skills and a very beautiful salary.

At the beginning, several of the actors he originally liked were all big names with an appearance fee of more than seven zeros, and they wanted to have acting skills and be popular, Pei Ji coldly gave him Amway a candidate who sounded so ideal and dreamy, to be honest, Han Ruoxu only thought that he was building a bridge for the newcomers under his studio, but when he got the actor's information, the column of the agency to which he belonged was written Yuntu International.

Han Ruoxu was a little confused, the actor of Yuntu ...... Since he is an actor of Yuntu, why was he recommended by Pei Ji? Could it be that he made an old friend at his old club?

But he took a closer look at this Zhou Erting's resume, and participated in "Nothing Happens at Dawn" and played the main role...... Isn't that the first TV series produced by Pei Ji Studio, and it is still being screened on TV stations. It seems that these two are really friends...... Han Ruoxu thought like this while continuing to scroll down the resume, uh, it's over.

Zhou Yiting's acting experience only wrote two, one was the TV series, and the other was written "Four years of resident actor at the Royal Theatre".

Good guy, Han Ruoxu couldn't help laughing.

He is also an old qualification who has participated in the international awards feast, and unlike those laymen, he naturally knows what kind of affirmation of acting strength is as a resident actor of the British royal family, not to mention four years in one go. You must know that the royal contract is very special, unless you are a big name in the industry, you can only sign a residency for one year, and if the theater is not satisfied at the end of this year, then there will be no next year.

But he looked at this person's personal information again, twenty-six years old, no graduation college, Han Ruo humbly said that Pei Da's public mailbox was not hacked, right? This kind of actor information full of loopholes dares to be sent? โ–กโ–ก is too careless.

Han Ruoxu smiled and didn't take it seriously at all, closed the attachment and made a call to Pei Ji's studio.

Through the hands of the assistant, the phone was quickly transferred to Pei Ji himself.

"Hey, Director Han, have you read the email?"

Han Ruoxu heard Pei Ji's idle, lazy voice as always, and said with a smile: "I said Xiao Pei, don't make trouble for me here." I plan to finalize the list of actors at the end of the month, Xiao Yijin is not a small supporting role, that is the male number one who is sharing the role with the eldest prince, look at what you recommend to me. โ€

Pei Ji's smile was still there, but his voice suddenly became alienated, "Director Han, are you talking about Zhou and listening?"

Han Ruoxu was a little hesitant when he heard his tone, what's the matter, don't let him say a bad word, "...... I mean, I'm hoping to find a first-line actor who, ahem, is a little more experienced and more mature in the market. He deliberately accentuated the two words on the first line, hoping that Pei Ji could hear what he really meant.

"Director Han," Pei Ji laughed, but he was definitely not in the mood to laugh, "You still want to make a commercial film." โ€

"Xiao Pei, I didn't mean that. Even if this movie isn't so popcorn, we can't let it hit the street directly, aren't you also a first-line male star, let's choose an actor who can match you in terms of acting skills, we can't just promote newcomer......s."

"Who are you talking about as a newcomer?" Pei Jiwan interrupted his explanation with a smile, "Listen to Zhou and listen, Director Han, have you carefully read the resume I sent you?"

"Xiao Pei, I just read this phone call for you, that resume...... Did you read it in advance when you sent it to me, and now even the actors are starting to learn to fake their resumes? What else is the royal residency...... How many resident actors can there be in the drama world in the UK? How dare you boast about Haikou......" Han Ruoxu sneered as he spoke, but was interrupted again by Pei Ji.

"Director Han, I see that you have also been in the position of a famous director for a long time, and you refuse to lower your head to take a look. Pei Ji didn't know where a nameless anger came from, and his words had long since lost the politeness of Fang Cai, "It's not the key how many resident actors there are, the key is ...... But if you don't believe me, you can understand, the main thing is that he has not developed in China, and his resume seems to be a little thin, but I do have some information about his performances in the UK, because there are too many contents, so I will concisely summarize it into such a sentence, I didn't expect it to arouse your suspicion. If you want to read it, I don't mind sending you the full copy again. โ€

Han Ruoxu heard it in a fog, and only replied after a while: "Oh...... yes, yes? Send me a copy. He wanted to see how much surprise this nobody could bring him, after all, no matter how he looked at Pei Ji, it was very much like he was protecting his shortcomings, and she was also suspicious of what he said.

The royal resident actors? Are they all places where geniuses gather, or have the genes been optimized to the point where geniuses run everywhere? If this is such a powerful actor who can continue to be unknown after returning to China? It is too "low-key".

Han Ruoxu smiled helplessly, but two minutes later, there was really an unread letter in the mailbox, click on it and take a look, most of the content of half a g.

Han Ruoxu looked a little dumbfounded, this, so much?

There are not only text resumes in the attachments, but also some pictures and a video, Han Ruoxu clicked on a picture casually, it was actually a promotional poster of a major drama at the Royal Theater in the autumn of the year before last, and the most obvious face on it was Zhou Erting that he had just seen on his resume.

Han Ruoxu only felt a little illusory, but the icon directly above the poster was indeed the logo of the Royal Theatre, and he even found the name of a famous veteran drama actor in the list of participants.

Han Ruoxu subconsciously pulled down the text, and finally clicked directly on the only video.

The video is not long, only ten minutes, it seems to be a short interview taken from somewhere, the man sitting in the backstage of the theater facing the camera is Zhou Erting, who looks younger than the photo on his resume, almost in his early twenties, and has a hint of restraint in front of the camera.

A character introduction appeared in the lower left corner of the video, Han Ruoxu studied in the United States in his early years, and it was effortless to watch even if there were no subtitles. But what his brain automatically translated made him so unconvinced.

The character profile is simple, with only one name and an identity description, where the name says "Carlos Chow", while the smaller character column reads: Resident Actor of the Royal Theatre.

He didn't have the heart to look at the interview carefully, he just felt that it was so unreal.

He could hear the blow in the face.

The Royal Theatre has always been known for its low-key and high-level performances, they almost never promote new dramas, people can only see the current season's plays at the entrance of its theater or on its official website, and its actors are as low-key and low-key as the theater itself. However, the average age of the royal actors is not very old, they have always been around 30 years old, there are both old names and rising stars, and their audiences are mostly successful people in the middle and upper class, and the ticket prices are high, but every show is full.

Han Ruoxu only felt incredible. Zhou Erting from a resident actor in a top theater to a star artist signed with a brokerage company is simply two completely different paths, and it is difficult to weigh which one is more glamorous. But Han Ruoxu understands one thing, judging from his understanding of the royal family, if an actor has become a resident actor there, he can spend the rest of his life in that position without worry, why bother to open up new fields?

However, putting aside this question, another thought gradually rose in Han Ruoxu's heart.

If this week's resume is really true...... Han Ruo laughed unconsciously, it is not impossible for him to play the triangle alone, let alone just a role.

Thinking like this, he picked up the landline placed next to the desk again and directly dialed the phone number of Pei Ji's studio.

This time without going through the assistant, Pei Ji answered his phone directly, and his voice was full of confidence and laziness that couldn't be covered, "How is it, Director Han?"

Han Ruoxu was a little embarrassed, "That...... Xiao Pei, I looked at the pile of things you sent just now. โ€

"Well, how?"

"I want to know where you got these photos and videos? I just searched the Internet, and I couldn't find any relevant content, and it was difficult to enter even the official website of the royal family. โ€

Pei Ji's signature laughter came, "I can't find it in China." This is what I asked for when I went to the UK for the red carpet a month ago. โ€

"Oh......" Han Ruoxuan realized and nodded.

"So you look at the character...... Huh?"

Han Ruoxu listened to Pei Ji's words full of confidence, sighed and said, "If that's the case...... That couldn't be more appropriate, and now I'm just afraid that people won't like this script and don't want to come to audition. โ€

"You can rest assured, and I'm not a picky person, and I've sent him the script before, and he's responded very well. Pei Ji thought about the phone call a moment ago, and his tone was a little relaxed, "But he has never made a movie, let alone a costume drama, and it may take a period of running-in." โ€

Han Ruoxu heard that he had an open-mindedness of "this is not a matter", and understood very much, "Hey, I'm not worried about this, after all, his resume is here, and I think the so-called run-in period is only a few days." โ€

Pei Ji smiled secretly in his heart, a few days, you underestimate him too much, I estimate that if I send him the complete script today, he will be able to completely turn into Xiao Yijin and show it to you the next morning.

Listen to it, listen to it, the rivalry with you that Lao Tzu has been looking forward to is finally coming.

Boss Pei's heart is extremely happy, and he only feels that the future is infinitely better.
