Chapter 506: Stupid Woman [Three Watches]
Will Smith agreed to star in "Rush Hour", Lin Youlun's goal of traveling to the United States was already halfway achieved, and Zhong Liti also called him the next morning and said that he was willing to go to Hong Kong to make that movie.
Xu Kezheng had a headache about the other heroine of "Double Dragon Club", and was very happy at first when he received a call from Lin Youlun from the United States, but when he heard that the other party was an unknown Chinese girl, he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.
Shi Nansheng walked into the living room and saw Xu Ke sitting on the sofa on the south side smoking, followed by the light of the fire, and there were bursts of smoke.
"Who just called?" Shi Nansheng looked at Xu Ke with a contemplative expression, thinking that this should be related to the call he had just received.
Xu Ke took a deep puff of his cigarette, "It's Mr. Lin, the heroine of "Double Dragon Club" who has not yet been determined, and he recommended someone to me. ”
As soon as he saw Xu Ke's expression, Shi Nansheng probably guessed what was going on.
"You're not happy with that candidate?"
"It's not satisfying, because I haven't seen that person at all."
When Xu Ke said this, Shi Nansheng suddenly felt very curious.
"Are there any actors in Hong Kong that you don't know?"
"That person is not a Hong Kong actor at all, just a Chinese girl that Mr. Lin met by chance in the United States...... What do you say I should do now? ”
If it were to be changed to another movie, Xu Ke would definitely use Lin Youlun to recommend him without saying a word, but the movie "Double Dragon Club" is different, and there must be a box office guarantee when it is filmed. In this way, the purpose of the Directors Guild to prepare for this film can be accomplished.
Xu Ke and Lin Lingdong were elected by everyone to co-serve as the directors of this film. It's both a trust and a pressure. If you smash it, not only will people watch jokes, but it will also be thankless, gossiping for others - you can sell your own movie for what you want, but you can't make money making this movie for the Directors Guild, it's clear that you don't care.
Lin Lingdong was busy preparing for the filming of a new film during this time, so he discussed with Xu Ke, you have to worry more about choosing actors, and I will take care of more filming later.
The two of them divide the labor like this. Xu Ke has no opinions, and he also tried his best to make this movie well, such as finding Cheng Long and Zhang Manyu to be the male and female leads, but there are always some situations that he can't control, such as the Chinese girl named Zhong Liti who Lin Youlun recommended to him now.
"Did it happen by chance?" Shi Nansheng didn't believe it, she felt that it was more likely that Lin Youlun had known each other for a long time, and it was difficult to say that the other party and Lin Youlun still had some kind of unclear relationship.
Xu Ke doesn't care about this, what he really has a headache is that the other party will fly to Hong Kong to audition soon, will he agree or refuse at that time?
"If you can't decide, you can discuss it with someone else." Shi Nansheng gave him an idea.
"No, I can't. If you leave this matter to someone else to decide, whether it will be successful or not. When the matter reached Mr. Lin's ears, he would have an opinion on me. Xu Ke shook his head.
"Since you can't push it off, then you can directly sell Mr. Lin a face and agree. In Mr. Lin's eyes, the person recommended should not be too bad, and if the whole drama is smashed because of Mr. Lin's recommendation, he will definitely give you an explanation later. Shi Nansheng analyzed.
Xu Ke snuffed out the cigarette butt and sighed softly.
"That's all there is to it now."
——
For the sake of safety, Xu Ke still pulled Lin Lingdong with him during the audition.
"Zhong Liti?" Lin Lingdong heard such a name for the first time, and felt very unfamiliar, "Where did you find this actor from?" ”
Xu Ke didn't say what Lin Youlun recommended to him, firstly, because Lin Youlun didn't want too many people to know about it, and secondly, after Xu told Lin Lingdong about it, Lin Lingdong would have the same concerns as him, and then affect his subjective judgment.
"It's a newcomer, and someone else recommended it to me, I think it's good, so I'll come over with you to have a look."
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.
The door was actually open, and the other party just knocked on the door out of politeness, and then a slender and powerful snow-white leg stepped in through the crack in the door.
Xu Ke and Lin Lingdong were attracted by the pair of snow-white beautiful legs that entered the room at first glance, and then they noticed the overall image of the other party.
With wavy curly hair, her tall and plump figure wrapped under a thin dress skirt fully shows off her hot body; The short skirt is very sexy, and it shows off her amazing beautiful legs just right, there is no need for stockings at all, and the natural tender white has the greatest shock...... Zhong Liti's sexy outfit immediately made the eyes of the two big men light up, and they secretly praised it in their hearts.
While Zhong Liti was sitting down, Lin Lingdong turned his head to Xu Ke's side and whispered in his ear, "I think it's quite appropriate." ”
Xu Ke felt the same way in his heart, but he couldn't always call someone to audition, and it would be over when he met.
"Miss Zhong is still in college in Canada?"
"I'm graduating soon." Zhong Liti knew that the two people sitting in front of him were both very famous directors in Hong Kong, and she was a little nervous, but her performance was quite calm.
"You're studying business marketing?" Lin Lingdong was looking through Zhong Liti's information, and then asked this question.
"But I followed my parents' advice to take this major, but I actually didn't like it very much." Zhong Liti explained.
The other character in "Double Dragon Club" is a rich girl, Zhong Liti's major is very consistent with the role in the film, which makes Lin Lingdong even more satisfied, he looked at Xu Ke and signaled that he was OK.
Xu Ke asked two more questions casually, and then discussed it with Lin Lingdong, and announced on the spot that Zhong Liti had passed the audition.
The whole audition process was so simple that Zhong Liti was a little unbelievable, under normal circumstances, she didn't need to do a performance or anything, but Xu Ke and Lin Lingdong didn't mention it at all.
When she walked out of the room, Zhong Liti's shadow suddenly appeared in her mind, could it all be related to him?
——
After the cast list of "Double Dragon Club" was announced, Zhong Liti's name was drowned in the names of Cheng Long, Zhang Manyu and a bunch of directors, and it did not particularly attract the attention of the media, but then an incident happened that exposed her to the public all of a sudden.
Zhong Zhentao angrily walked into the bedroom with a newspaper, and Zhang Xiaohui was applying lipstick to the dressing mirror.
"Is everything in the newspapers true?"
Zhong Zhentao snapped and pressed the newspaper in his hand on the dresser.
Zhang Xiaohui glanced at the contents of the newspaper, and then continued to wipe the empty red as if nothing happened.
"I said that, what's wrong?"
"Why are you doing this, don't you know that you are offending people?" When Zhong Zhentao heard this result, his anger couldn't help but surge upward.
"I'm just giving some of my own opinion on this matter, is that also wrong?" Zhang Xiaohui glanced at Zhong Zhentao dissatisfied, "If I find other actors to play that role, I will definitely not have any opinions, but why let a person who has never acted at all and has never even heard of it to play, just by virtue of this, don't you let people say it?" ”
Zhong Zhentao saw that his wife had no regrets at all, and suddenly became angry, "You have an opinion to say, why do you want to imply that the other party has an abnormal relationship with the director, what is the difference between this and rumors?" ”
"If there is no special relationship, why does the director take care of her so much?" Zhang Xiaohui asked rhetorically.
At the celebration dinner after the award ceremony that day, except for the one when she went over to say hello with Zhong Zhentao, she went to Xu Ke once later, wanting to win this role for herself, but she didn't expect to be rejected by Xu Ke, so she held a grudge.
"Do you know Lu Dao, when you say this, it is not only Xu Ke who will be offended, but the entire Directors Association!" Zhong Zhentao was about to be mad by this woman, "If you offend these directors, who will ask you to film in the future?" ”
"Not necessarily."
Zhang Xiaohui put on makeup, put away her lip gloss, turned to look at Zhong Zhentao and said, "How many movies in Hong Kong have the actors completely decided by the director?" Directors don't all choose actors according to the requirements of investors, nominally directors choose actors, but in fact, investors don't have the final say? ”
Zhong Zhentao remembered Chen Baishen's evaluation of Zhang Xiaohui at the beginning, saying that this woman worships money and takes money too seriously, Zhong Zhentao didn't think so before, but now he suddenly feels that what Chen Baishen said is indeed reasonable.
"Do you think that Hong Kong directors only have money in their eyes?" Zhong Zhentao asked helplessly.
"Okay, I'm not going to argue with you about that, I also made an appointment with a friend for dinner in the evening, and I won't eat dinner at home." Zhang Xiaohui passed by Zhong Zhentao, bringing a burst of incense, she took her coat from the closet, and was about to change into and go out, but was stopped by Zhong Zhentao.
"Who are you going to dinner with?" Zhong Zhentao has heard a lot of things about his wife recently, and he is even more suspicious at the moment.
"Okay, look at your nervous look, it's with Andy!"
Zhang Xiaohui came over and hugged Zhong Zhentao, as for whether it was really like what she said, only she knew in her heart.
Zhong Zhentao's heart softened, and then instructed: "If you meet a reporter outside, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Alright, alright, just promise you." Zhang Xiaohui looked embarrassed, "I really don't know why you are so worried about Lu Dao, it is not Lin Youlun who I offended, just by virtue of the Directors Association, what can you do to me?" ”
Zhang Xiaohui just said it so casually, but I don't know why, Zhong Zhentao felt a strong worry in his heart, what if this matter is really related to Lin Youlun? (To be continued......)
