Chapter 299: Changing Actors
After dancing all night, Chen Xiaochun didn't even take off his clothes when he got home, and he fell directly on the bed, and it didn't take long for the sound of snoring, and when he woke up again, it was already three poles outside the sun, and he looked at the alarm clock at the head of the bed, it was only ten o'clock, he had to go to work in the afternoon, and there were more than two hours for him to be lazy, so he yawned, put the quilt on his head and planned to sleep back.
"Ring, ring, ring, ......ringing" A phone rang, so that he had to get up and go to the living room to answer the phone, while walking in his mouth and scolding, and when the living room phone was still ringing, he grabbed the microphone and said angrily: "Hey, who are you?" ”
"Is it Chen Xiaochun? I'm making a wish. A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone, Chen Xiaochun felt quite unfamiliar, so he still looked casual at first, with a pair of sleepy eyes half-closed, as if he would fall asleep at any time.
But when he heard the word 'make a wish', his whole person suddenly felt excited, why do you need people to make a wish? It is the owner of the dance company to which he belongs, in other words, his food and clothing parents. In an instant, all the sleepy insects were driven there by him, their waists were straight, and their voices were hearty and respectful: "Hello Mr. Xu, do you have any instructions for me?" ”
"You come to the company right now, come directly to my office when you arrive, and you will know what is going on, that's it, remember to hurry."
After making a wish, he hung up the phone, which made Chen Xiaochun's second monk confused, but his head was still very clear, and there must be something wrong with Zhilu Dao's wish to call him in person. Come to think of it. He hurried back to his room to wash and change clothes, the whole process took less than ten minutes, and when he got downstairs, he took a rare taxi back. Rushed to the company as fast as he thought he could.
Seeing the secretary walk in with a young man with an unattractive appearance and a medium stature, he made a wish and said that this person should be that Chen Xiaochun, and not only wondered in his heart, but such a person who seemed to have no characteristics was actually worthy of the deputy director of the artist department of the Tang Dynasty film in person?
"Xiaochun is here, come over and I'll introduce you." Xu Yuan beckoned to Chen Xiaochun, and then pointed to the middle-aged man sitting opposite him and introduced: "This is Mr. Qian Nanling, deputy director of the artist department of Tang Dynasty Film Company. Mr. Qian, this is the Chen Xiaochun you are looking for. ”
Qian Nanling looked Chen Xiaochun up and down, and what he thought was similar to making a wish. Just Chen Xiaochun has to have no face, no figure, and he is not from an acting training class, that is, dancing is okay. can actually get Gu Chen's favor. It's really shit luck.
said that not long after he went to work this morning, he was called into the office by Zhao Desheng, the director of the artist department, and asked him to go to the dance performance company where he made a wish to find a backup dancer named Chen Xiaochun, and he must sign this person, and revealed to him that he was the person personally appointed by Gu Chen.
At that time, he was thinking about who this Chen Xiaochun was, and he could actually get Gu Chen's favor, but he didn't expect to wait until he got to make a wish, only to know that this Chen Xiaochun could not only dance. There are almost no other outstanding places, and I haven't even learned acting. It made him depressed for a while.
Now that I see me, I look a little better than in the photos, but it's not much better. But no matter what, it is the person personally designated by Gu Chen, and he is not too lazy, he got up and shook hands with Chen Xiaochun politely, and then said straight to the point: "The purpose of my search for Mr. Chen today I believe that Mr. Chen should have guessed after hearing my identity, so I said it directly, I don't know if Mr. Chen is interested in signing a Tang Dynasty movie?" ”
"Before Mr. Chen answers, I can tell you one thing, signing you is Chen Shao's personal instruction, and there are not many actors in Hong Kong who can be favored by Chen Shao."
After hearing that Qian Nanling really came to sign a contract with him, Chen Xiaochun was immediately moved, after all, the development space of Tang Dynasty films must be greater than that of dance performance companies, and when he heard that it was Gu Chen who signed himself, his heart immediately jumped, and he suddenly remembered the scene when he almost bumped into Zhou Huimin last night, when Zhou Huimin was still standing next to a young man, as if it was Gu Chen.
Thinking that Gu Chen not only didn't blame him for being reckless, but actually planned to sign him, his gratitude and admiration for Gu Chen in his heart was really as blazing as an erupting volcano, he nodded his head twice vigorously, and said, "Interested, of course interested, when will you sign the contract?" ”
Qian Nanling took out a document from the briefcase next to him and put it on the table, saying, "This is the contract, you can take a look, if there is no problem, you can sign it now." ”
……
"Do you want to change the character of the pheasant? For whom? Zeng Zhiwei also thought that he had heard it wrong, except for the designated actor and a few important roles, Gu Chen of the other roles asked him and Xiang Huaqiang to discuss on his own, why do you want to change the second male lead now for no reason?
"Chen Xiaochun, it's the backup dancer of the dance performance company that signed this morning, Zhang Desheng should have told you."
As soon as Zhang Desheng went to work in the afternoon, he reported to Zeng Zhiwei about signing Chen Xiaochun, judging from the photos and resume, this Chen Xiaochun doesn't seem to have anything outstanding, but he can actually win Gu Chen's favor, and he also personally designated to play the male No. 2 pheasant in "Crazy Boy"?
"Since you want this Chen Xiaochun to play me, I naturally have no opinion, but I have already signed this role with someone else, so it is always a bit unreasonable to replace someone without asking the reason, or you give me a reason, or you have to compensate someone else."
Already signed? Gu Chen's brows furrowed slightly, in fact, this is not a big deal, the so-called contracts are basically used to bind actors, and most of the actors in the Tang Dynasty can only stare dryly, but in this way, Tang Dynasty movies will inevitably be suspected of being bullied by shopkeepers, if it is rumored, it will have a big impact on Tang Dynasty movies and his personal reputation, so it is better to find a way to solve it properly.
"Who was the original actor of the pheasant?"
"My name is Liu Qingyun, I was a wireless actor before, I just jumped to ATV some time ago, and it was recommended by Wu Zhenyu, when I asked Wu Zhenyu to talk about the role, he heard that the role of pheasant was not decided and recommended Liu Qingyun to me, I thought it was good after watching it, so I signed it."
Liu Qingyun? Gu Chen didn't expect Liu Qingyun to jump to ATV, let alone that he would be selected by Zeng Zhiwei to play the pheasant, it seems that Liu Qingyun and Chen Xiaochun's appearance is too far apart, but this is the first part of "Crazy Boy", and the comic has not been published yet, except for the script, the role of the pheasant has no target for others to compare and reference, so no one dares to say that Liu Qingyun can't play the pheasant. Perhaps in Zeng Zhiwei's eyes, Liu Qingyun is black and sharp, and he is a good candidate to play the gangster.
However, affected by the memories of his previous life, he still felt that it was most appropriate to use Chen Xiaochun to play the pheasant, so after a moment of silence, he said: "It's better for Chen Xiaochun to play the pheasant, as for Liu Qingyun, you tell him that I will compensate him later, so that he can rest easy." ”
To say that Liu Qingyun entered the industry very early, and the star road is also smooth, but he has never been able to become as popular as Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei and others, until he was reborn, he was still tepid, but his acting skills are recognized, and he has been married to his wife Guo Geming for more than ten years, and the relationship has been very good, and he is a rare model couple in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, it can be said that Liu Qingyun is very good in both acting skills and character.
He has always liked and valued people like this in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of Liu Qingyun's famous work in his mind.
"Okay, I'll take care of this, if I don't have anything else, I'll go first, and I'll have to go to the set of "Myth" later." Zeng Zhiwei said, picked up the cup and drank the remaining coffee in the cup in one gulp, he didn't pay much attention to coffee before, but after working with Gu Chen for a long time, his mouth was slowly raised, and Amber Coffee also became his favorite, but unfortunately authentic Amber Coffee was too difficult to buy.
"By the way, "Myth" will be finished in a few days, and I plan to hold a celebration banquet, after all, this is the first time that our company has invited a director from the mainland to direct a movie, and we always have to express that you can't come, if you come, I will inform you of the location and time at that time."
"It will depend on the situation then."
As soon as Zeng Zhiwei left, Guo Yunxi came in: "Boss, just now Mr. Wu called back from the United States, saying that he had negotiated with EGK Company and would officially sign the contract tomorrow, but Mr. Wu also said one thing, he had contacted the senior management of AMC Company before, and found that the largest shareholder of AMC Company had poor capital turnover due to the stock market crash, and he also intended to sell his shares, Mr. Wu would like to ask what you mean." ”
"How much AMC does this person own?"
“61.3%。”
Gu Chen fell into deep thought, the combined cinema chain of EGK and AMC will reach nearly 40% of the cinema resources in North America, which is definitely a huge number, and it can also bring him huge benefits in the future, he is worried about whether the 40% cinema share will be prosecuted by the US antitrust law, and the reason why he only asked Wu Siyuan to acquire one company was because he was worried about the US antitrust law.
Hold up the bold and starve the faint-hearted. Besides, the boat naturally went straight to the bridge, and it didn't take long for him to decide: "Just do what he wants." ”
Guo Yunxi was a little confused, Wu Siyuan didn't say what he wanted to do, what does 'just do what he wants'? Although she was puzzled, she didn't ask more, turned around and walked out of the country after answering, and then called Wu Siyuan, who was far away in the United States.
When Wu Siyuan heard the original words relayed by Guo Yunxi, he was shocked in his heart, and immediately knew that his careful thoughts had been guessed by Gu Chen, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. (To be continued......)
