Jaw-dropping fans couldn't believe the news!

What great director doesn't look for roles among movie actors who have already made a name for themselves? What great director would look for a role in ordinary people?

Never heard of it!

Constrained by the box office, eyeball effect, and the rules and regulations of trust, directors are always worried about those fresh faces, and among the fresh faces, the ones that can become famous and remembered in one fell swoop are indeed lackluster.

Only some small roles who have just embarked on the road of directing will choose some actors who are not famous because of the pressure of funds, but at least, they will also choose among professional actors, right? How can anyone do a random audition, and then the final champion will be the protagonist of the movie?

But then again, Smith Zhou is also an extremely bold guy, he just filmed "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class", wasn't the female lead actor the cleaning lady he casually found in the film company building?

And it just made him successful, Isabella's genius acting skills and performance made her a strong candidate for the Oscar for Best Actress next year!

Which director can have such a means? Who can do this kind of courage casually?

Anyone who has a little bit of an actor's dream is excited, as the title says, one step to the sky, directly into the colorful Hollywood film circle!

There are not a few Americans who are full of performance desires!

The curiosity of the people then looked down, but it was a draft method that they could not have imagined.

"In every city, there will be a designated bar to carry out the theme of zombie night, and in the DJ's energetic dance music, the person who most looks like a zombie may become the protagonist of the Smith Week movie!"

Oh my God, so simple? Isn't it just playing zombies, this is a reserved item for many people during Halloween!

Here's a long list of city-specific bars from around the world, and young people aspiring to the million-dollar dollar are frantically searching for the one bar in their city.

These bars are all sent by Lionsgate, and they are all large bars in various cities that cater to ordinary young people in their twenties, and can accommodate more than 1,000 people, and they are also quite famous and influential in the local area.

Many people are excited to try their luck, but more people are just curious, anyway, bar parties are an indispensable element of daily life, so wouldn't it be more fun to go to see this zombie night in your spare time?

Young people who like to party all over the United States fell into Zhou Shaoming's palm and couldn't extricate themselves.

As a result, young people across the United States are either in or on their way to the designated bar during Smith Week! ――

Before the people of the United States received this amazing news, the senior management of major television stations in the United States felt the shock of an eight-magnitude earthquake in advance!

"What? Smith Zhou wants to put the drama of choosing the actor on TV for live broadcast? That's a crazy and fun idea! ”

"Auditions? What is this show? How could Smith Week always be so unexpected? Still, I think it's a good idea! ”

"That's a good idea? It's a hen that lays golden eggs! Hurry, send someone to contact Smith Zhou, our TV station must win the live broadcast rights of this draft! ”

"How did you come up with this brilliant idea? With a salary of $1 million and the leading actor in a super blockbuster, this gimmick is enough to make most Americans lose their minds! Without further ado, let's hurry up and get ready for the tender at Smith Week! We're going to get ahead of everyone! ”

Countless TV station bosses, large and small, are keenly aware of what this idea will bring to their TV stations, which is a once-in-a-millennium expansion opportunity and a wonderful move to break the current TV pattern!

Small companies are eager to take advantage of Smith's current success and the novelty that is bound to detonate television and redefine the huge cake of television, so they are so excited that they want to get the right to broadcast it.

The bosses of small companies are not stupid, but the bosses of large companies are even more shrewd, they do not want their monopoly to be broken, and they also feel the attraction of the show to ordinary audiences, so they attach great importance to it, and they will not leave any chance for other companies at all.

No matter who the final winner will be, Zhou Shaoming will definitely make a lot of money, which no one can deny.

On June 20, 2000, Murdoch, an Australian national who was the super-boss behind the American Fox Broadcasting Company, and his newly married Chinese wife Deng Wendi were reading an interview with Zhou Shaoming in the newspaper.

Deng Wendi is full of curiosity about Zhou Shaoming, who has the same skin as himself and is also Chinese, and is full of admiration after carefully reading the interviews and shooting tidbits about his two films.

Everyone knows how difficult it is to start from scratch, and the primitive accumulation of capital is the longest and most painful, especially in Hollywood, where white directors have the right to speak.

But Zhou Shaoming succeeded, and with his perseverance and hard work, he changed the prejudice of many Americans against Chinese.

Persistence, hard work, hundredfold struggle and unique ingenuity will one day stand out from obscurity, this is the American view of Zhou Shaoming.

"This is an amazing person, and at the same time, the reality show he proposed, the star audition, is also a great idea!" Wendi Deng smiled and pointed to the photo in the newspaper, Zhou Shaoming, who was full of spirit, his eyes were full of wisdom, confidence, and the corners of his mouth were raised, and he said to her husband Murdoch.

"Well, he had a great idea, and I think it could really get the attention of teenagers all over the United States, and even around the world. These audiences need new, excellent idols, and idols born from them, so that they know that miracles will happen anytime, anywhere, or directly to themselves. Murdoch nodded, and began to think in his mind how much it would benefit his station if he had his own television station run the draft.

"Why don't you buy this reality talent show and see how it goes?" Wendi Deng thought about it and put forward his own suggestions.

"With that in mind, I think our two instincts will not be bad. The most likely thing to happen is whether to earn more or less. Murdoch smiled and picked up the phone.

The next day, Zhou Shaoming's carefully prepared bidding meeting, all the most influential television stations in the United States were invited, and it was held in the five-star hotel on the Billy Huashan Peninsula, which can accommodate 500 people.

At this time, Zhou Shaoming sat calmly in his seat, writing in his heart, thinking about how he wanted to impress the general managers of various TV stations who are known for their shrewdness, which is related to his own movies and his plans to influence the whole United States.

Contrary to Zhou Shaoming's good time, all the general managers of TV stations, and even the bosses behind the scenes, appeared directly, and one luxury car after another shuttled like a cloud, coming to this venue, although they all maintained a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, but behind it were countless intrigues.

"Leslie! My old friend, you are here in person, too? Thomas, the CEO of ABC Television, smiled from afar, opened his arms and hugged the oncoming man of medium stature, kissed him affectionately on the cheek, and patted him on the back in a friendly manner.

"Haha, the COO of ABC is here, how can we CBS be left behind?" Leslie is the president of CBS, and although he is a full competitor to ABC TV, and he is almost fighting for ratings, on the surface, he still maintains a good personal relationship with outsiders.

"Your CBS's "Survivor" is on the air, why do you still want to win Smith Zhou's "King of Zombies"? Thomas asked with a smile.

"Oh, these are two kinds of shows, don't get confused. "Survivor" is a sports competition category, while "King of Zombies" is a stage talent show, and at a time when audience segmentation is becoming more and more obvious, any imaginative show is worthy of recognition. What's more, this time there is the trump card of the phenomenon-level director to support it! Leslie touched her nose and smiled.

"Hehe, I'll tell you a good news, the image-level director Smith Zhou has great ambitions and a lot of investment, and it is initially estimated that those small TV stations can't eat it at all." Thomas said with a smile, frowning at the same time, his eyes drifting to the side: "There is also bad news, that is, not only you and I have taken a fancy to Smith Chow's idea, but at the same time, Fox Broadcasting, NBC TV and HBO TV have all taken a fancy to his current fame and appeal, it seems that we want to be satisfied, but we have to pay some price." ”

Leslie followed his eyes, and on the other side was another group of people talking and laughing loudly, including Fox CEO Moonweis, and at this time, the eyes on the other side also drifted over, and collided with one of them, like an electric shock, and then put on a polite smile, and then floated away.

"This news is really bad." Leslie withdrew his gaze and said with a wry smile.

"I really can't imagine how this 23-year-old director can be so bold. Two films were a huge success, "Spring in the Cattle Class" has made my wife run out to join the choir every night, and Smith Zhou's third film is coming, this time, does he want my son to stay on TV all day and dream of stardom? Thomas sighed, puzzled.

"Let's go, let's go into the venue and see how this phenomenon-level director turns the clouds and rain." Leslie calmed down and walked into the hall first.

He knew that Smith Zhou, who was full of advanced ideas and advanced ideas, was going to play the boss and general manager of National Television this time.

The time for bidding was approaching, Thomas and Leslie sat in the front row, watching the entire venue full, crowded to the brim, the conference room of 500 people was crowded with more than 800 people, and it was crowded that there was not even a single seat here.

The discussion in the entire venue was like countless flies flying and bombing, until Zhou Shaoming, who was full of smiles and calm eyes, slowly walked up to the podium, and then quieted down.

The whole venue was silent.
