Xu Jinglei is Zhou Chen's predecessor in every aspect.

It is still necessary to be respectful.

Zhou Chen first communicated with the other party before asking:

"Teacher Xu, where is Director Chen?"

Xu Jinglei always had a faint smile on her face, and said softly:

"Director Chen may be late~"

I don't know how late it is.

The two communicated softly, waiting for the drama to start, and waiting for Chen Zhendao to grow old.

"Letter from a Woman" tells the story of a woman who has persevered for love for 20 years.

It's as simple as that, but it makes people feel a kind of sadness!

To be honest, Zhou Chen doesn't like this kind of work very much, and it is too low to talk about a person's position.

If people weren't so humble, then everyone could have lived a good life.

Hearing Zhou Chen's concept, Xu Jinglei was a little surprised, after all, what most people felt when they saw this drama was a woman's deep love!

She couldn't help but look Zhou Chen up and down, wanting to dig out more things from the other party's body.

But Zhou Chen was very silent most of the time, as if he was covered with a layer of fog, which made Xu Jinglei a little difficult to see.

The two-hour drama ended quickly, but Chen Zhendao never appeared.

It wasn't until the two walked out of the theater that they received a message from Chen Zhendao.

......

Seeing Zhou Chen and Xu Jinglei standing at the door waiting, Chen Zhendao couldn't help but walk up apologetically.

"Excuse me, two! Something is delayed on the way! ”

As a director, his work is still quite busy, and today's original plan was to watch a movie with Zhou Chen, but he was called over by investors halfway.

Zhou Chen looked at Chen Zhendao, who was wearing glasses and looking chubby, and said with a smile:

"It's okay Director Chen, let's find a place to sit and talk!!"

He doesn't know much about Chen Zhendao, he only knows that the other party is a cutting-edge director, and the previous filming of "Hypnosis Master" and "20 Years Old Again" are all good works.

Led by Xu Jinglei, the three of them came to a nearby café.

The three of them sat opposite each other.

As soon as possible, Chen Zhendao handed the script to Zhou Chen.

"Mr. Zhou, you read the script first."

Chen Zhendao is no older than Zhou Chen, although he has also made a few more outstanding movies, but he is much lower than Zhou Chen in all aspects.

Zhou Chen happily ended up with the script, and the quality of the script is the basis for all subsequent negotiations.

If the script is too bad, no matter how much salary is given, Zhou Chen will not be able to participate.

There are also routines for reading scripts, first of all, it depends on who the screenwriter of the script is!

On the cover of this not thick script, it is clearly written that the screenwriter, Ren Peng!

Ren Peng is not a veteran screenwriter, but he has written many famous movies.

For example, "101 Marriage Proposals", as well as Chen Zhendao's two most famous movies, are also his screenwriters.

From this point of view, this screenwriter has some strength.

Coupled with the name of this movie "Master of Memory", it is very reminiscent of his last movie "Master of Hypnosis", which should be all about memory, subconscious, and psychological.

A powerful screenwriter creates a familiar theme again, and the quality of this script should not be bad!

With this foundation, Zhou Chen's expectations for this movie can't help but be raised.

When Zhou Chen was reading the script, Xu Jinglei was communicating with Chen Zhendao in a whisper.

"Director Chen, didn't you say that this movie will start filming at the end of the year? Why is it so early all of a sudden? ”

Even if a movie is in advance, it won't be two months in advance.

This completely disrupted the plans of all the actors involved.

You must know that the general contract stipulates the time of joining the group and the things to be filmed.

The more well-known actors are filmed, the fuller the schedule, and this matter is not something that your director can advance if he says it will be in advance.

Chen Zhendao's face was full of bitterness.

"Teacher Xu, I can't do anything about it!"

Originally, the crew had already booked the start time of filming, but the producer suddenly changed his plan to finish filming the film in early January, so that the film could be released in the summer of July and August next year.

July and August happen to be the month of domestic protection, and it is very normal for it to be released during this period.

But Xu Jinglei still didn't understand.

"It's just a schedule, why do you have to grab the summer file?"

"Besides, it's not a good choice for suspense films to enter the summer file!"

July and August are of course domestic protection months, but the audience in this schedule is basically students.

Suspense films are not very popular with those students~

Students, what is rare is nothing more than a comedy, or a romance movie, or a Hollywood blockbuster.

Suspense movies have always been their last best choice.

If you want to grab this schedule, it's really not a wise choice.

Chen Zhendao looked embarrassed.

"Mr. Xu, don't you know that there will be several blockbusters in the mainland market next year?"

Next year, except for July and August, the rest of the schedule is basically filled with a few Hollywood movies.

The rest of the domestic films can only be squeezed into the domestic protection month to survive!

After Xu Jinglei listened to Chen Zhendao's words, she was only disappointed!!

At the beginning, the establishment of the Domestic Protection Month was to support domestic films and give domestic films a good environment for development.

Unexpectedly, now the domestic film protection month has become the bottoms!

As long as this layer of bottoms is not lifted, domestic filmmakers will never feel ashamed!!

Xu Jinglei had no desire to talk anymore, half-closed her eyes, and quietly waited for Zhou Chen to finish reading the script.

After another half an hour, Zhou Chen put down the script in his hand, and the look on his face looked very inexplicable~

The quality of this script is not bad, but it is only a passing level!

Here in Zhou Chen, only seven points can be given!

Such a score is already good in domestic movies, but it did not meet Zhou Chen's expectations!

Originally, his expectations for this movie were eight points, but it's a pity!

That's a little bit short!

That's it, this movie is destined not to be a good movie!

Zhou Chen put the script on the table, looked at Chen Zhendao not far away, and asked:

"Director Chen, we can talk about other things next!"

This script barely reached the level of his starring, and the other things to talk about next are naturally the salary and treatment.

Hearing Zhou Chen's original intention to take over this play, Chen Zhendao has already breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the other party appears, it means that the movie is half stable.

Before Chen Zhendao spoke, Zhou Chen said:

"I'll only give you one chance to bid, if you're not satisfied, I'll leave!"

He doesn't lack this movie, it's the other party who needs him!
