"Hmm!"

After listening to Menjie's words, Zhou Xingchi couldn't help but be silent, and after nodding slightly, he stopped talking, as if he was thinking about something.

This move made Menjie embarrassed.

The reason why Menjie said this just now is that although there are also some thoughts in his words that he wants to star in Zhou Xingchi's movie, but more of it is just joking with Zhou Xingchi.

But now it seems that Zhou Xingchi seems to be serious, and Menjie's question has brought Zhou Xingchi a little confusion.

This is what makes Menjie a little helpless.

"Master Xing, I was joking just now......"

After hesitating for a moment, Menjie finally saw that Zhou Xingchi still didn't speak, sighed helplessly, and said softly to Zhou Xingchi, wanting to explain.

"I know you're kidding!"

However, without waiting for Menjie to finish speaking, Zhou Xingchi shook his head and said softly, Menjie couldn't help but lose a sigh, and secretly sighed that he was an old-timer in the film industry who had more than twice as much knowledge and experience, if he really couldn't see that he was joking, I am afraid that so many years would be in vain.

"I'm just thinking about something!"

After waving his hand, Zhou Xingchi put a faint smile on his face, and whispered to Menjie, "My next movie, I already have an idea in my heart, there may not be a place for you in it, and there may not even be a supporting role, unless you want to play the kind of ordinary role that has no characteristics, not only will you not be liked by fans after filming, but you may also be reprimanded by the media!" ”

Shaking his head slightly, Menjie made a decision very decisively.

The reason why I want to star in Zhou Xingchi's movie is that I can only play a supporting role, and Menjie is not without reason!

Judging by the speed at which Zhou Xingchi shoots movies, his next film wants to be released. I'm afraid it will take more than two years, and two years later, it is not impossible for Men Jie to have absolute confidence to become a top star, or even an actor-level existence.

At that time, the supporting role in Zhou Xingchi's movie was definitely not because he was greedy for good movie quality, and there was even a feeling of 'only acting in Zhou Xingchi's face'.

The reason why I am willing to play a supporting role in Zhou Xingchi's movie at that time is because I have a close personal relationship with Zhou Xingchi. The second point is that most of the characters in Zhou Xingchi's movies are full of personalities, and if Menjie can successfully shape them, they will definitely attract a large number of fans!

But now I heard Zhou Xingchi say. In his next film, there was no time when there was a good role for Menjie. Menjie will refuse. And rightfully so.

However, when Menjie was about to say something, Zhou Xingchi actually spoke again and said to Menjie, "But...... One more next movie, if you will. Maybe it's not just a supporting role, if your acting skills at that time are enough, let you play a leading role, it's not impossible! ”

A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. As if thinking of something, Zhou Xingchi said softly to Menjie.

Zhou Xingchi said this, which really surprised Menjie, and he didn't turn around for a while.

In Menjie's memory, it seems that Zhou Xingchi's movies in recent years are all directed and acted by himself, and the protagonist and director are all him, but listen to Zhou Xingchi's current meaning......

His next film, not ready to play the leading role? Is it possible that you are only ready to direct, but not ready to act?!

In the eyes of the outside world, perhaps all the audience is more concerned about Zhou Xingchi's own 'funny face' and 'nonsense', and the audience likes Zhou Xingchi more to appear on the big screen, bringing laughter and happiness to everyone.

As for Zhou Xingchi's director, he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, although there are not many famous directors in China now, there are many of them, but there is only one nonsensical comedian, Zhou Xingchi.

Therefore, most viewers and fans are still more inclined to let Zhou Xingchi be an actor rather than a director.

But as Zhou Xingchi gets older and older, the characters such as 'love to be showy' and 'love to perform' in his bones when he was young have gradually dissipated, and he is replaced by a greater preference for control!

The kind of person who controls a crew, a movie, and all the actors, the feeling that the superior has complete control over the employees, as if the director has absolute control over the crew.

However, in order to avoid the situation that 'Zhou Xingchi is only a director and not an actor', which will cause resistance from the audience and fans, in recent years, Zhou Xingchi has gradually directed and acted by himself, and in the film, there is no feeling of 'trying to highlight the protagonist and reducing the presence of supporting roles' in other films.

On the contrary, in his own films, Zhou Xingchi is constantly increasing the roles of the supporting roles, the characteristics of the supporting roles, and weakening the presence of his protagonist!

The outstanding performances of Men Jie, Yuan Qiu, Yuan Hua, Liang Xiaolong and others in "Kung Fu" are enough to explain everything!

Could it be that Zhou Xingchi had already started to prepare, quit the actor industry, and began to gradually shift his focus to the director world? !

With a slight movement in his heart, an astonishing thought suddenly flashed in Menjie's mind, and he felt a feeling of disbelief.

As one of the three supremes in the Xiangjiang film industry, Zhou Xingchi, known as 'Double Monday', actually had the idea of quitting the actor circle in his heart at this time, and he really had a feeling of 'great rebellion'!

"Master Xing, you want to gradually become a ...... A simple director?! ”

With a slight movement in his heart, Menjie felt a sense of disbelief and asked softly to Zhou Xingchi.

Saying that you are a 'simple director' is undoubtedly the same problem as 'you are preparing to quit the actor industry', but the former is more subtle and respectful.

"Hmm!"

Although there were people in the car, one was the driver he trusted, and the other was Menjie and Yang Mi, both of whom were familiar friends of Zhou Xingchi, plus this news, as long as you analyzed it a lot, you could see that it was not a secret, and Zhou Xingchi did not have any concealment, nodded to Menjie, and responded.

"That's true!"

"In this "Kung Fu", I have tried my best to weaken my role and increase the chances of supporting actors appearing, like you, Yuan Qiu, Yuan Hua and Liang Xiaolong, they are all very good, they did not disappoint me, and the film finally achieved a lot of success, with a box office of 160 million, and 16 nominations, it is enough to show that this movie is indeed good, and it also proves that there is no big problem with my idea!"

"In the next movie, I will weaken my role even more, and gradually transfer my role to the second and third protagonists, there will be no more supporting roles like "Kung Fu", more subdivisions, or on one or two people, once again weaken my sense of existence, and see how the audience reacts!"

"As for the third movie......

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, a look of yearning flashed in Zhou Xingchi's eyes, and he stretched out his hands and felt a little unsure where to put it, and whispered to Menjie.

"At that time, when I can devote all my experience to my career as a director, although it may not be too successful and full of ups and downs, but with the foreshadowing of these two films, there shouldn't be too many problems!"

"At that time, as long as the new film can pay for itself, I will be satisfied and will continue my directing career with peace of mind!"

As he spoke, Zhou Xingchi habitually touched his chin with one hand, and his eyes kept looking back and forth on Menjie's body, as if he was looking at something, and Menjie felt a little uncomfortable.

"Master Xing, you ......"

I really couldn't stand Zhou Xingchi's gaze, and Menjie said helplessly.

"With the speed at which I make movies, the fastest is four years, the longest is six years, if you already have the strength of a top movie star at that time, or already have the title of actor, I can consider handing over the actor of my first 'concentrated directing' movie to you!"

W- Is this true?!

I thought that Zhou Xingchi was really joking with himself, but now it seems that Zhou Xingchi is serious!

It is undeniable that Zhou Xingchi's acting skills are very superb, but he also knows in his heart that Zhou Xingchi's directing ability is absolutely extraordinary, although it is slightly inferior to the top directors, but it is also equivalent to ordinary top directors.

And five or six years later......

At that time, Zhou Xingchi, as long as he was willing to continue to work hard, wanted to reach the level of the top directors in China, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou and others.

In this way, with such a movie directed by such a top director, I am afraid that not to mention Zhou Xingchi, even the veteran top star in China, wants to star, let alone Menjie!

Five or six years later, even if he is successful, I am afraid that it is the level of some big-name actors, and even this requires continuous efforts and a little luck to achieve, if the luck is worse, the ordinary 'new actor' may also be possible!

However, no matter what level it is, it can't get out of the level of 'wanting to cooperate with Zhou Xingchi', and it is indeed a pleasant thing to be able to get Zhou Xingchi's commitment at this time.

"To be able to get the invitation and commitment of Zhou Xingchi, even if I can't win any awards at the '24th Xiangjiang Film Awards' tomorrow, I'm afraid my trip today will not be in vain!"

Sighing slightly in his heart, Menjie also showed a faint smile on his face, and hurriedly nodded at Zhou Xingchi, "Xie Lu Xie Xingye take care of you, in four or five years, I will definitely satisfy you, this role...... It must be mine! (To be continued.) )
