Chapter 364: Casting (Part II)

"Hahaha, I know that Chen Ze and Director Wu are against you, it is simply self-defeating, what if his director is He Honghui, if there is no good actor, it is impossible to compete with us with one He Honghui."

Wu Baige's crew, an assistant director laughed and laughed, obviously he knew that because of Wu Baige's greeting, all the actors Chen Ze wanted to cooperate with rejected him.

You must know that movies cost money to watch, so the importance of actors is much greater than that of TV series, and Chen Ze can't recruit good actors now, naturally even if he is the director of He Honghui, the movie will definitely not be much better, even if Chen Ze himself stars and forcibly pulls the box office by his popularity, it will definitely not be high.

The general super popular small fresh meat can probably drive a box office of two to three hundred million, and Chen Ze's popularity surpasses that of ordinary small fresh meat, which can probably drive a box office of five to six hundred million. In fact, this is already a very unnatural box office figure, relying on personal popularity to drive so much box office, Chen Ze may be the only one in the Chinese entertainment industry at present.

Compared to the box office of really good movies, this is far from enough. Especially this time, Wu Baige's movie self-positioning is at least 1.5 billion, so the gap is even greater.

So after hearing about this incident, the assistant director of Wu Baige's crew laughed out loud, thinking that he could crush Chen Ze this time.

Wu Baige also had a smile on his face, obviously proud of his influence, and felt that Chen Ze was really a little self-conscious, but he was just a popular star, and he actually wanted to fight with himself.

"By the way, has the choice of the protagonist been finalized?" After laughing for a while, Wu Baige recovered his mood and asked.

"Okay, Wu Han has already agreed, saying that he will play the leading role." The assistant director in charge of casting speaks.

"Very good, although Wu Han's popularity is not as good as Chen Ze, and the gap may not be small, but he is already the closest to Chen Ze's little fresh meat, and it is okay to finalize him." Wu Baige spoke, "Then the supporting roles must also be finalized, and a few actors must be invited to participate, and tell those actors that it was me Wu Baige who invited them this time, so that they must give me this face, and I will return them a big favor in the future." ”

He also plans to choose a few actors to play supporting roles, so that the actor will be paired with the super popular little fresh meat, and his popularity and acting skills will be there, so no matter what kind of tricks Chen Ze comes up with, he will definitely reverse the situation this time.

Wu Baige has actually been a bit out of fashion in the past two years, especially his last film cost more than 100 million US dollars, but in the end it only received more than 100 million yuan at the box office.

Because of this, his reputation has plummeted, and many investors dare not cooperate with him again. If this goes on for a long time, even if he Wu Baige is definitely out of breath, he will definitely pass away.

Wu Baige was naturally unwilling to do this, so he wanted to shoot a blockbuster movie to save his film career, so he invited Chen Ze, hoping to use Chen Ze's popularity to ensure the box office.

It's a pity that he was a little confused at the time, and he actually thought that at the same time, his own person from Hong Kong and Taiwan, Dai Li, would be praised, so he completely fell out with Chen Ze. But it doesn't matter, without Chen Ze, finding a newcomer is to invite a few big actors with his own favors, which can definitely guarantee the box office and crush Chen Ze to death.

That's why Wu Baige opened his mouth like this, he believes that as long as a few actors can be invited, then not only Chen Ze's movie is not to worry, but his own movie will definitely be a big hit, and his film career will be completely saved.

"Okay, I'll contact you, if it's your favor, I don't think those actors will refuse." The casting director nodded.

In fact, he knows that the most taboo thing in the entertainment industry is to invite others with his favors, so that not only will he owe others a good favor, but his reputation and status will also decline, especially a big director like Wu Baige, who said a few years ago that he wanted to shoot a movie, where do you need to say anything about owing favors, as soon as it is announced, a lot of people will pounce on themselves.

It's just that it's hitting the streets now, that's why there is such a situation. The entertainment industry is the most realistic circle, and it is always like this.

So the casting director also knows that this time he has to do this, and he must use the method of indebtedness to invite those big movie stars over and make a beautiful turnaround.

And the casting director also believes that as long as those actors are invited, Chen Ze's new movie will not be a problem at all.

"As long as the movie is a big hit and Chen Ze is trampled to death, then it will all be worth it." The casting director thought silently in his heart.

******

In Chen Ze's office, Chen Ze was discussing with He Honghui about filming a movie.

Suddenly, he received a phone call, and it was the agent of an actor he invited to reply to his invitation. The reply is very simple, that is, the actor really wants to participate in this movie, but there is no schedule, so I'm sorry.

Although it is said in a roundabout way, there is only one core meaning, that is, to refuse Chen Ze's invitation.

"Rejected again." After hanging up the phone, Chen Ze sighed and said, "Count this, all my invitations have been refused." ”

"I guessed it a long time ago." He Honghui spoke, "I have heard that Wu Baige and those actors have greeted each other and asked them not to participate in your movie, so I guessed that no one will respond to your invitation." ”

"I guessed it too." Chen Ze sighed, "I also know that Wu Baige won't let me invite these actors so easily, but I didn't expect these actors to really listen to him, and they really refused to accept any of them, they really don't know what kind of movie they missed." ”

Chen Ze opened his mouth and said with some boasting. However, He Honghui nodded and agreed with him. Because in his eyes, he also felt that these actors were really stupid, for the sake of an outdated Wu Baige, they actually refused Chen Ze's invitation, and they would definitely regret their refusal today, because they didn't know what kind of movie they rejected.

"So what now? The actors have all refused to be invited, where is there a suitable candidate? Chen Ze opened his mouth and said to himself. It's like saying to yourself, and it's like asking He Honghui.

"Actually, although the acting skills of the actors are good, they are not the only ones who are good. The reason why they were able to become actors, in addition to their acting skills, also had a lot of luck in it. He Honghui said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Chen Ze was stunned.

"I mean, there are still many actors with good acting skills, there is no need to be obsessed with these actors." (To be continued.) )
