Chapter 509 Character Selection

At the carnival night, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat and other Chinese stars sang the song "Chinese" together on the stage, although they are all top superstars in the Chinese market! But in the North American entertainment industry, it is a lot bleak!

When they stand on the stage, there are basically not many people in the audience paying attention! Even the ordinary employees of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company will not pay too much attention to this group of Chinese actors!

Although this carnival night has no special significance, in the eyes of most people, it is already a great luck that these Chinese-level actors can come, and it is a fool's dream for them to cause a sensation at this banquet!

In Hollywood circles, even if Jackie Chan and Jet Li are only second- or third-rate actors, as for Chow Yun-fat, he may not even be a third-tier actor!

Of course, their sharing of the stage will not attract attention, but there is Wu Jing, an actor who doesn't seem to be very good at singing, standing on the stage, just singing softly, which can attract the occasional attention of the audience!

"Chinese" seems to sing at once in the hearts of several actors who have come to Hollywood to work hard, among these actors, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Zhou Yunfa and others have entered Hollywood, and their results are not ideal after working hard for a few years, but they can also break into the big family of Hollywood.!

In China, most people who obviously want to enter the Hollywood circle will have a hard time! Actors such as Fan Bingbing, who is not afraid of tigers at the beginning of the calf, want to find such an opportunity, like Wu Jing, to be favored by Zhou Shaoming and lay a certain foundation for the road to stardom!

For most Chinese stars, Wu Jing is indeed a lucky person, not like a few predecessors like Jackie Chan, who worked hard in Hollywood, it is better to be appreciated by Zhou Shaoming all of a sudden. is praised as a star known to the audience!

Zhou Shaoming listened to the singing of Jackie Chan and several people in the audience, just because everyone is Chinese, and only Zhou Shaoming can feel the bitterness of several actors on stage in this song!

Didn't I have my status in Hollywood today after experiencing all kinds of bitterness, and I was able to invite many superstars to celebrate this wonderful time together!

Zhou Shaoming sniffed, couldn't help but pick up the microphone, slowly ran onto the stage, and began to blend in with Jackie Chan, Jet Li and others, and sang this song "Chinese" with everyone!

When Zhou Shaoming came to power. The eyes of the audience suddenly shifted, and Zhou Shaoming's actions became the focus!

When Zhou Shaoming's figure appeared on the stage, everyone in the audience put down what they were doing and looked at the figure of the Hollywood gold medal director on the stage!

"Don't forget, Director Smith Zhou is Chinese after all!" Some people in the audience wondered why Zhou Shaoming suddenly ran onto the stage and sang Chinese songs with a group of Chinese actors!

When I heard the explanation of the person next to me, I suddenly realized, "No wonder this group of unknown Chinese actors came to this banquet." I forgot that Smith Zhou was a Chinese. ”

In Hollywood, whether it is an actor or a director, no one would have thought that a Chinese Chinese would break into such dazzling achievements! When people are silent under the glory of Zhou Shaoming, they gradually forget that this director is also a Chinese!

Listening to Zhou Shaoming singing the song "Chinese" on stage. The audience couldn't help but clap the beat to cater to it, and no one thought that the Hollywood superstars, who had been enjoying the worship of the audience, would also turn back into real audiences at this time, and they were concentrating on enjoying the performances of others!

And this person is tonight's organizer Zhou Shaoming. Director Zhou Shaoming, who is often called a demon and ghost talent in Hollywood! His crazy actions again and again make people sigh that there are such crazy people in this world, but they have made breakthroughs at the box office again and again. It makes people even more impressed by this Chinese director who has crossed the sea!

Perhaps Zhou Shaoming has been living in the United States, and Zhou Shaoming's talent has been recognized by everyone in Hollywood, and gradually people have begun to forget Zhou Shaoming's identity! Or no one in Hollywood cares too much about an actor, a director, and what country he is from!

But Zhou Shaoming still minds very much, because you can't forget your roots as a man! When Zhou Shaoming heard Jackie Chan and others sing the song "Chinese" in the audience, he couldn't control the complex in his heart and ran on stage to sing with all the Chinese actors!

Until the end of the song, there were bursts of applause from the audience, and Zhou Shaoming bowed deeply on the stage for the enthusiasm of the guests present!

Tonight is a time of revelry, and after a full night of revelry, the next day begins to be busy again!

For Zhou Shaoming, it is more important to choose the actor of the next "Detective"!

For the actors this time, after Zhou Shaoming was selected, as for the selection of the protagonist, after thinking about it repeatedly, he still chose to use Bell!

The lucky Bell was favored by Zhou Shaoming, and Bell who came to the banquet on Christmas Eve yesterday made Zhou Shaoming determined to use him!

When Bell received Benjamin's movie, the excitement was really indescribable, and after hurriedly explaining the situation to Aziva, he changed his clothes and came to Zhou Shaoming!

Zhou Shaoming sat on a chair and waited for this well-known actor in Hollywood! In Bell's decade-long Hollywood career, a glorious moment is finally coming!

Zhou Shaoming saw the refreshed Bell and asked Bell to do it, and the somewhat nervous Bell didn't know what to say at this time! Bell, who has always been bad at words, waited for Zhou Shaoming to speak first!

Indeed, for Bale, the mood at this moment is a little apprehensive, as if the top Hollywood director in front of him wants to give himself a great opportunity in his stardom journey, but he is not completely sure that this opportunity belongs to him, and it is also the most nervous moment for Bale!

Zhou Shaoming can see that Bell is an introverted actor, and he has also heard of the actor's hard work and a low-key person who is not good at expressing his inner thoughts!

Zhou Shaoming smiled kindly and said straight to the point: "Regarding the topic I mentioned to you at the banquet last night, I don't know if you have considered it?" ”

Bell finally heard Director Zhou Shaoming speak in front of him, nodded nervously and said, "Of course." ”

In fact, Zhou Shaoming didn't need to ask to know, looking at Bell's demeanor, he must be very willing to appear in his own play, "Then the schedule for starring in my next movie, I don't know if you have a problem here?" ”

Bell shook his head and said, "No, absolutely not!" ”

Zhou Shaoming hesitated. Looking at Bale's demeanor, since he has continuously won the popular movie stars in the film, he often encounters actors who are self-recommended by Mao Sui, whether it is a big-name actor in Hollywood or an unknown actor who has been working silently, they often mention that they hope to play the role in the movie they shoot!

But Zhou Shaoming knows that he is not a god, and it is impossible to make the actors in it popular in every movie!

Scarlett Johansson, who became popular this year, also made a big hit in North America after her outstanding performance in three consecutive movies! But will there be a next time for such an opportunity?

Zhou Shaoming didn't know. But at least for the current situation, Zhou Shaoming will not take such a big risk again, and keep letting an actor star in his own works again!

Constant exposure on the screen is also a great risk for actors, and in the North American film market, more superstars who have become famous rarely appear on the screen!

After Zhou Shaoming pondered for a moment, he said his thoughts to Bell! "Bell. In fact, I also know that in the eyes of outsiders, I, a somewhat famous director, am simply a star factory. No matter which actor appears in my work, it seems that he will become popular or famous! ”

Zhou Shaoming paused as he spoke, looking at Bell's demeanor. Zhou Shaoming continued: "For you, an actor who is already well-known in Hollywood, you have a greater hope of becoming one of the top male superstars in Hollywood, I don't know if you have such an idea for this appearance!" ”

Bell didn't understand what Zhou Shaoming meant. But as an actor, he has always believed that there is a reward for paying, and Bell is required to do so, and he continues to temper himself in life in order to play the role in the film!

Bell said frankly, "Yes." ”

Zhou Shaoming nodded and said: "It's a good thing to have such an idea, but let it be, although in the movies I shot in the past, some actors were made famous by chance, and even became popular, but not every work can be so lucky, that's why I came to you personally!" ”

Bell couldn't help but be a little surprised when he listened to Zhou Shaoming's words! It seems that Zhou Shaoming's implication is that he is not optimistic about this new movie!

Zhou Shaoming saw one or two from Bell's demeanor and explained: "No, I don't mean that my new movie is not as good as before, but before the movie is released, no one knows what will happen later!" I hope that when you make this movie, you will let go of those thoughts of spending time and concentrate on making a good movie first! As for whether it can help you on the road of acting, this is something that should be considered afterwards! ”

Bell's eyes lit up, and after listening to Zhou Shaoming's words, he couldn't help asking: "This is also the reason why you chose me to star in this movie!" Am I playing the main character? Before Bell came, he was still a little puzzled, a director of Zhou Shaoming's status, when he didn't know anything before he officially contacted Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, he talked to himself!

Now Bell seems to understand more or less! I also somewhat understand why I can be favored by Zhou Shaoming! There is no such thing as a pie in vain, and there is always a reason for everything! After a few simple chats, although Bell is not good at expression, he can hear some clues from Zhou Shaoming's words!

Zhou Shaoming nodded and said affirmatively: "Indeed, because of the movies I shot this year, whether they are the protagonists or supporting roles, they have left a deep impression on the audience, and at the same time, these actors in my works have shined more brightly on the road of starlight!" Therefore, the actors I have come into contact with have the illusion of star-making in their hearts, in fact, whether they can become popular or not is the result of the actors' own efforts, and you and I have heard of it somewhat, that is, the kind of actors who are very hardworking and dedicated, and are rarely influenced by the outside world! I hope in this movie, you will be the same as always! Of course, it's better that you can become popular with this movie, if not, our company will have other works, and you still have a chance! ”

Bell listened to Zhou Shaoming's words and agreed: "It's all up to you, Director Smith Zhou!" ”

Zhou Shaoming smiled politely and said, "Call me Zhou in the future!" Let my assistant Benjamin talk to you about this filming! ”

Bell nodded, but before leaving, Bell still said in disbelief: "I am the protagonist of the movie this time?" ”

Zhou Shaoming looked at Bell, who was a little unconfident, and said affirmatively: "Yes." Hope we can have a happy cooperation! ”

After Bell heard Zhou Shaoming's definite reply, his throat couldn't help but tremble, for this big-name director in Hollywood, he also knew a little about Zhou Shaoming's private director! But it was also this kind look that made Bell a little flattered!

I just met Zhou Shaoming once, but I didn't expect to be able to cooperate with this world-renowned director!

After Bell left, Zhou Shaoming has already determined the actor of "Detective", and for the consideration of the actor this time, Zhou Shaoming will take more fancy to the actor's own attitude towards filming!

Indeed, after the ups and downs of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company this year. After successfully completing the tasks assigned by the system, Zhou Shaoming is more eye-catching in Hollywood, and more entertainment agents and actors hope to become the protagonist of their films!

Their ideas speak for themselves, anyone can think of them! But because of this, Zhou Shaoming thought about thinking too much about these other things, would it affect his own mental power to act well!

And Bale obviously fits Zhou Shaoming's mind, once the actor shoots the movie, he will soon be able to enter the inner world of the film character!

And the movie "Detective" is more about human nature. A work that exposes human nature under the background of the police, for this, Bell is obviously more in line with this than other koala objects!

The determination of the male lead. made Zhou Shaoming breathe a sigh of relief, as for the considerations of other characters, they were relatively not so strict!

Under the repeated strong demands of Avril's little girl, Zhou Shaoming thought that this movie. It's very suitable for Avril to be the heroine once!

The devilish figure and ghostly face fascinate thousands of teenagers. Avril, who can capture the hearts of all male animals, joins the ranks of the protagonists of this movie, and at least brings a lot of popularity!

The cast must not be very strong this time!

Although Bell has some fame in Hollywood, he is still in a tepid state overall!

Wu Jing's addition can cause some attention, but considering that this movie is also going to be put on the Chinese film market, with Wu Jing's joining, it can increase some popularity!

In addition, Wu Jing's grasp of villains is very good, and in the last movie "Fuse", Wu Jing's excellent performance has left an impression in the hearts of North American audiences! Next year, Zhou Shaoming also hopes that Wu Jing's movie will continue to maintain the North American audience's impression of this Chinese actor!

Although Avril is good at singing, she has acting skills! Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoming was a little worried, too deep performance was still too difficult for Avril!

However, the heroine of this movie has very few in-depth scenes, and Zhou Shaoming believes that with the guidance of the side, Avril can successfully complete the filming of this movie!

The heroine's stalker and coquettish shots of her man should not be difficult for Avril herself!

The determination of the male and female protagonists and the determination of the supporting roles have been in place, and Zhou Shaoming plans to start letting the screenwriting department start writing the plot of this movie!

Under Zhou Shaoming's planning, this movie should be able to start filming around January next year, which is already the end of 04, and there is only about a month before the planned start of filming!

After 04 "League of Assassins" created a box office myth, Zhou Shaoming was a little difficult, and at 05 next year, what works will he take to improve the box office myth?

Obviously, this "Detective" work has not yet reached such a scale, just in terms of the cast, it seems very bland, coupled with the plot of his own movie, Zhou Shaoming feels that it is not enough to be comparable to the box office results of this year's "League of Assassins"!

Before there is a better script, Zhou Shaoming plans to shoot this movie about discussing human nature early next year, hoping to receive a good word-of-mouth effect!!

In terms of the preparation of the actors, the lead actor was selected by Christian. Bell and Avril Lavigne, as well as Wu Jing to play the second male lead, as for the other supporting role, Zhou Shaoming was also selected, that is, Srian. Murphy!

Sri Ian. Murphy is an Irish actor! It was also Zhou Shaoming who found the actor's information when he was looking for the protagonist of the detective work, but unfortunately, Zhou Shaoming felt that Bell was more suitable to play the protagonist of this movie! However, for the supporting role, Zhou Shaoming thinks that Murphy can play the supporting role of the male number three!

The actors of the work are basically finalized! The protagonist of the work played by Bell is a detective Chen Guibin who has no case that cannot be solved!

And Avril played his wife Zhang Meihua, for Zhang Meihua, who was already dead.

Wu Jing plays a senior police inspector, and Murphy plays another police detective!

Chen Guibin - Christian. bel

Zhang Meihua - Avril Lavigne

Gao Zhiwei - Sri Ann. Murphy

Ho Ka On - Wu Jing (Police Inspector)

And in this movie, Jackie Chan and Fan Bingbing will also have cameos, and Zhou Shaoming is also happy to see the addition of these two Chinese superstars!! It must be a police story with the background of Hong Kong, and I also hope that the addition of Jackie Chan, who is a brother, can have better box office results when it is released in the Chinese film market! (To be continued......)
