(I drank too much last night and couldn't get better, so I made it up for it today, and there will be an update in the evening!) ）

"Come on, sit down, director Li Zhenfan."

Chen Zaitian is not a person who meets Li Zhenfan as an artist, but as a businessman and an investor in the script of "Uncle" in Li Zhenfan's hands. As for the etiquette of the juniors, he has already done his previous greetings, and now it is time to talk about things 'business'. Not to mention anything else, at least Chen Zaitian can't put his identity even lower than the other party. Then you don't have to talk about anything.

Li Zhenfan nodded, and didn't feel anything, after all, the young man in front of him has become the 'boss' of his own film, and in terms of work status, it can even be said that he is a level higher than him, and the hierarchy of superiors and subordinates in South Korea is very strict in this regard. Therefore, he also honestly sat down on the guest sofa in the office with Chen Zaitian.

"I have read the script of "Uncle", it is really good, and the talent of director Li Zhenfan and screenwriter is really amazing." Chen Zaitian said praisefully. "So, after I came across the production of 'Uncle', I decided to invest in it."

"Thank you." Li Zhenfan also replied with a smile: "Mr. Chen Zaitian was able to invest in making movies by himself at a young age, and that is really powerful." Indeed, Li Zhenfan was also taken aback by Chen Zaitian, an investor's young age, just now, but he was also quickly indifferent. In his mind, at his age, Chen Zaitian is either a rich boy who spends his family's money to invest. Either it represents someone behind it who is more in line with the investor's 'age and identity'!

But no matter what, the other party's current identity is indeed one level higher than his own. Because he is now an investor in the film on the surface.

"Director, are you ready for the preliminary work of filming? When is the film scheduled to start? Chen Zaitian naturally didn't care what Li Zhenfan thought, and asked directly.

"The actors are almost ready, and the filming work doesn't matter, the key now is that the actor has not yet been determined." Li Zhenfan said honestly.

"Oh, what's that going on? Has anyone chosen one? Chen Zaitian asked the "CinemaService" company about this before, and he only knew that the director was still looking for the protagonist.

"That's right, just like the name of the script "Uncle", originally I originally planned to locate the male protagonist as an uncle in his fifties and sixties, mainly hoping to depict the feeling of a middle-aged person who is disgusted with the world and has nothing to ask for. And finding an old actor to play is not a big problem. It's a bit problematic though. There will be a lot of fighting scenes in the film, and it may be a bit difficult to find an uncle actor in his fifties or sixties to play it. So I'm going to raise my age to around 40 now. ”

"40 years old? Well. Chen Zaitian listened to Li Zhenfan's words and nodded, according to the setting of the script. The other party's idea is not unreasonable.

"If you choose someone like Xue Kyung-gu, Kim Yoon-seok, Ha Jung-woo, Song Kang-ho, and Jung Woo-sung, of course, it is the best. However, there may be some discrepancies in the production fee. After all, they are all top first-line actors in China, and their salaries should be a lot. Li Zhenfan quickly entered the work state of the production of "Uncle", and honestly told Chen Zaitian about the problems he was currently encountering. So. Before, our original plan was to find a first- and second-tier, but not so famous actor to play it, and as for the candidates, we also have a few. Mr. Chen Zaitian, what do you think? ”

"Well, that's good, director." Chen Zaitian nodded approvingly, and it can be seen that Li Zhenfan is very attentive to the filming of this film.

"In that case, then I'll show you the pre-selected actors, if we can settle it together, it would be great, and filming can officially start at the end of the year." Li Zhenfan said happily, it seems that he is really going to get up and bring the pre-selected actor information to Chen Zaitian for a look.

Chen Zaitian smiled slightly, stretched out his right hand to stop Li Zhenfan. "Director, I have a reluctant request, I hope you can agree."

"Huh? You said. Li Zhenfan looked at Chen Zaitian strangely.

"I don't know if the actor can let me play it!" Chen Zaitian said.

"What?" Li Zhenfan was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that he hadn't reacted to the content of Chen Zaitian's words just now. He wondered if he had misheard something just now.

"I want to star in this movie, I don't know what you mean, director?" Chen Zaitian said the meaning of what he just said again, and then looked at Li Zhenfan with a smile.

"You're going to play this role? This...... What's going on? Li Zhenfan was completely surprised.

"Hehe, yes director, I want to play this role. In fact, I am an actor myself, although I invested in the filming of the film, but after reading the script, I felt that the character creation was very good, and I wanted to challenge it. Chen Zaitian said.

"You're an actor?" Li Zhenfan was taken aback, but he also glanced at Chen Zaitian. No wonder he felt a little familiar when he first saw Chen Zaitian, and he had the atmosphere of an artist, but he had always paid little attention to the entertainment industry, and he didn't recognize Chen Zaitian for a while.

"I have already filmed a film of "Righteous Brothers" with director Jang Hoon and Song Kang-ho's predecessors, and it is currently in the post-production stage, and I am now starring in KBS's "IRIS" drama." Chen Zaitian also simply told Li Zhenfan about his interpretation experience.

"Righteous Brothers, IRIS?" Although Li Zhenfan has not watched the drama "IRIS", the recent hot ratings momentum of the show is indeed a focus on entertainment news, and he has also heard of lace news. As for the "Righteous Brothers" movie of his peers, he naturally paid attention to it.

At this time, Li Zhenfan really remembered Chen Zaitian, and knew that the young man in front of him made his debut with an A-level film not long ago, and became the best of the new generation of young actors in one fell swoop. You must know that a rookie actor's acting skills at the beginning will definitely be very stiff and slightly insufficient, so generally their initial works are not too good, most of them are played in the form of supporting roles first, even if they are important roles, those are also film resources below A-level. It is very rare for a person like Chen Zaitian to be qualified to star in an A-level film as soon as he comes out, and he is also one of the leading actors. At that time, Jiang Dongyuan also showed his good acting skills in the TV series before he could get the opportunity to star in the movie "The Temptation of the Wolf", which is why he is as popular as ever, entered the Korean film industry, and has become the leader of the younger generation of actors in the Korean film industry today.

"But......" Li Zhenfan was speechless for a moment, his brows tightened slightly, he really didn't expect Chen Zaitian's request to be this. He also knows that there are unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, as an investor or producer, he has more or less the right to arrange the filming scenes or actors to play or something. Lee Jeong-fan is not a real big director like Lee Chang-dong, Kim Ki-duk, and Bong Joon-ho, and he was able to negotiate with the producer from the beginning and obtain the full right to shoot the film, not to mention his film, which is not a big production at present.

After silently accepting Chen Zaitian's identity as an actor, Li Zhenfan was worried about his request, and Chen Zaitian's image did not conform to the protagonist image he had envisioned beforehand. What he wants is an uncle who has gone through the vicissitudes of time, so that he can deduce the feeling of a middle-aged uncle who hates the world and has nothing to ask for. Chen Zaitian, although he has a good temperament, he is too young, and Li Zhenfan has to worry.

"I know what you're worried about, director, I'm a little too young, right, but this problem shouldn't be big, you can just be mature and old-fashioned when you go on camera." Of course, Chen Zaitian knows what Li Zhenfan is worried about, in his previous life, he refused to play Yuan Bin for this reason, and he is naturally the same now.

The reason why Chen Zaitian dared to ask to appear in "Uncle" was actually because he was not much different from Yuan Bin in terms of appearance and age. Although Yuan Bin was born in 1977 and is now thirty-three years old, he has a young appearance and has always retained. He looks like he is no more than twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he is also wandering within thirty years old, and Chen Zaitian is the same, although he was born in 86 and is only twenty-four years old, but because he was middle-aged in his previous life, his experience and demeanor are already very mature and stable, and because of his tall figure of 1.8 meters, his current words, deeds and temperament give people an illusion, thinking that he is now twenty-seven or eighteen years old, the same as Yuan Bin.

"Let's audition." It's useless to say too much, Chen Zaitian feels that he should be able to impress Li Zhenfan more with practical actions, and in his previous life, he did accept the role of Yuan Bin, a 'beautiful man', which shows that he still has the psychology of accepting his own appearance.

Auditions are naturally not a problem for Chen Zaitian, in his previous life, he watched this film no less than 5 times, and the film reviews and film characteristics at that time, the feelings to be expressed and the content of the story were already clear. Coupled with his current status as an actor and his increasingly mature and capable acting skills, passing Li Zhenfan's audition is not a big problem.

After Chen Zaitian said goodbye to Li Zhenfan, he hurried to the next location. It seemed that this was the only way he could forget some of his troubles, and it was. When talking to Li Zhenfan and auditioning, he was very focused and enjoyed the peace for half a day. (To be continued......)
