Chapter 457: Vice President of the Acting School
Xu Zhen had nothing to do at this time, and when he heard the news brought by Qiao Feng, he simply went directly to the company.
On the company's side, he saw the documents Qin Shaoze and the others sent him, flipped through them briefly, and found that as Qiao Feng said, the level of this book is quite high, and it is a rare masterpiece that he has seen this year.
This drama is called "The Lonely City of War", which tells the story of patriotic businessmen who joined the revolution and rose up to resist in the context of the Anti-Japanese War, and is the final chapter of Qin Shaoze's company's "War" series trilogy.
However, it's a pity that the first two parts of this series are really sparse, and I'm afraid it's hard to bring it any early heat.
The first "Doctor of War" unfortunately collided with "Breaking through the Guandong", and the ratings suffered a tragic Waterloo;
The second part of "The Fragrance of War and Books" ventured to choose the network first and then the star, but as a result, due to the unadaptability of period dramas and online broadcasts, and it happened to be at the same time as "One Kiss to Love", this drama did not stir up a little splash after it was broadcast, and it has not yet been broadcast on the stars.
If this third part is popular, it can also reverse the popularity of the first two parts, and fight for a late bloomer; If not, then this IP will really be completely scrapped.
Xu Zhen listened to Qiao Feng talk about these things, and inexplicably felt a pain for Qin Shaoze.
As an insider, as soon as he listens to the ratings and webcast results of the first two dramas, he can roughly estimate the income. Combine that with its cost......
This wave is a loss!
And it seems to have something to do with me both times......
Xu Zhen felt sorry for him, but patted his conscience and said that he really didn't mean to snipe him.
Every time, it was set first by his own side, and Qin Shaoze had to come up......
I'm also helpless!
The "bad fate" between Qin Shaoze and Xu Zhen is also a famous joke in the entertainment industry.
At the beginning, Sun Mantang, the screenwriter of "Breaking through the Guandong", wrote the role of "Zhu Chuanwu" based on Qin Shaoze, but Qin Shaoze, who was already famous at the time, thought that this role was not the male number one, so he refused to accept anything.
Outcome...... Everybody knows it.
To this day, almost two years have passed since the summer dominated by "Crossing the Guandong", and the name Qin Shaoze is still tied to this matter, and is regarded as a typical representative of "arrogance, eyes and beads".
And since then, Qin Shaoze's career has also entered a bottleneck period, and he has failed to become popular after starring in several dramas one after another, and his popularity has languished.
I have to say that sometimes people just can't catch up with each step, step by step.
Opportunities are fleeting, and every seemingly simple decision has the potential to change a person's fate for years to come.
"Mr. Cai made an appointment with Qin Shaoze and them to come over in the afternoon," Qiao Feng looked down at the time, "I said that I wanted to discuss cooperation." ”
"Are you going to hear it?"
Qiao Feng said: "My personal suggestion is that you can invest money, but even if you star, the schedule is not very timely, and it can't affect your own drama." ”
Xu Zhen thought for a while and said, "Go and listen, I just happened to want to ask him if he wanted to play "Battle of Changsha". ”
When Qiao Feng heard this, he said with some tears and laughter: "Are you serious?" ”
"It's impossible for Qin Shaoze to agree."
"The role he wants you to play is still one of the two protagonists, and the 'brother-in-law' in "Battle of Changsha" is a supporting role at all!"
Xu Zhen blinked, and said seriously: "Ask, what if?" ”
"Back then, he gave up acting in Chuanwu because he didn't want to play a supporting role, maybe he lost his way this time, and the luck he missed in the past will come back?"
"This thing is wonderful."
Qiao Feng: "......"
Xu Zhen, do you want to talk to Qin Shaoze about Buddhism?
……
Xu Zhen communicated his thoughts with Cai Shijian, although Mr. Cai was also skeptical about inviting Qin Shaoze to participate in "Battle of Changsha", but there was no harm in asking.
Moreover, even if Qin Shaoze is unwilling to participate, it is good to be able to fool an investment.
Mr. Xu is dissatisfied with the high investment in the project "Battle of Changsha......
At half past two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, representatives of Fengze Entertainment were invited to the headquarters of Langya Pavilion Co., Ltd., and Cai Xianxian personally led a team to welcome them into the reception room and expressed a high degree of respect for them.
The scale of the small meeting is not large, and only Qin Shaoze and the two producers of "War 3" came to Fengze Entertainment, and Cai Shijian, Xu Zhen and Lin Jia on the side of Langya Pavilion.
After the two sides met, they did not say a few words of greeting, and soon got to the point.
Since it was time to talk about cooperation, Cai Shijian naturally took out the planning book of the "Battle of Changsha" project and distributed it to Qin Shaoze and others, asking them if they were willing to cooperate.
As he spoke, Cai Shixian glanced sideways at Xu Zhen on the side, and said: "This drama is now being cast, and we have mentioned to me many times that it would be too suitable if the role of 'Xue Junshan' in the play could be played by Mr. Qin." ”
"Whether it is image, temperament, or strength, it is particularly suitable."
Cai Shijian said with a hard smile: "It just so happens that Mr. Qin came over today, why don't you take a look by the way, are you interested in this role?" ”
When Qin Shaoze heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Xu Zhen, and said with a smile: "Really? That's a real lift. ”
In politeness, he did not refuse directly, but flipped through the planning book in his hand and said, "Xue Junshan? Is it the role of the heroine's brother-in-law? ”
Xu Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, it's the role of 'brother-in-law'." ”
Saying that, he said sincerely: "Sorry for being abrupt, Xue Junshan is a supporting role in this drama, not the male number one." ”
"But this drama is actually easy to play with the male lead, but 'Xue Junshan' is not easy to find, this character is more attractive than the male lead, he is a ruffian, but he takes care of his family, and he is the most likable character in the whole play."
"Except for Mr. Qin, I really can't think of any other actor who can be competent for a while, please think about it."
When Qin Shaoze heard this, he couldn't help but smile, looked up at Xu Zhen, and said, "Since you said that I can act, then you should be okay yourself, right?" ”
"Why don't you play the brother-in-law and I play the male lead?"
His words were originally a joke, but as soon as the words fell, Xu Zhen actually nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, that's right, there is no problem with the reversal at all." ”
As he spoke, he directly took out a document from the document in hand, handed it to Qin Shaoze, and said, "This is the contract for the actor of "Battle of Changsha", if Mr. Qin is willing, we can sign it now." ”
He said this too seriously, and Qin Shaoze was confused for a while.
"No, you'll ...... later"
Qin Shaoze didn't pick up this document, but hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop his movements, and said, "I was just joking." ”
Xu Zhen smiled and said, "I know you're joking, but it's really fine." ”
He said sincerely: "Just look at the setting of the role of Xue Junshan, this is a more brilliant character than the male protagonist." ”
