However, this time Zhou Chen's casting is not going to take the form of a variety show.

One reason is that the number of people this time is relatively small, with only a few key roles, and there is not so much fanfare.

Then there is the selection of actors in the form of a draft has now become the norm, and those talented middle-aged actors have already leaked their heads.

There's no need to recruit by draft.

But this also leads to new problems.

That is, the actors he invited did not necessarily want to act in this play.

Most of the actors didn't ask about the salary when they heard that Zhou Chen was directing the movie, and directly said that they wanted to participate.

But Li Xue, the actor in the role of "Lao Bu", has his own ideas.

No matter what Zhou Chen said to him, he just didn't let go, and he didn't say a word about filming movies.

But Zhou Chen didn't want to give up easily.

Although this role is not big, Zhou Chen still hopes that the person who is most suitable to play this role will play it.

So Zhou Chen came to visit.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

But Zhou Chen had just knocked on Li Xue's door when he hit a soft nail.

"Don't, the master is the teacher, you are the teacher in acting."

The tone is not good, and his face is cold.

Obviously, Li Xue has quite an opinion about Zhou Chen.

Maintain a clear unwelcome.

But it's clear that his wife doesn't think so.

"Old man, bring the guests in, come into the house to talk about something!"

Li Xue's expression suddenly became a little stiff, but she still did so.

However, when the two entered the study, Li Xue had not yet sat down and expressed his position again.

"First of all, I'm not going to act in your movie."

Zhou Chen has always faced Li Xue with a smile, but Li Xue greeted him with a cold ass again and again.

Even the clay figurines have three points of fire.

"Can you at least give us a reason?"

However, Zhou Chen was still restrained and calmly asked the reason.

Li Xue snorted coldly and replied.

"You young people are just impetuous."

"I know you've just made a good movie, but not being able to make it hit you hard."

"But you can't just start making the next movie because of that."

"We filmmakers must be responsible for ourselves, and we must not release some semi-finished products......"

Zhou Chen thought that the other party would give reasons such as insufficient remuneration or dissatisfaction with the role.

But I never thought that the other party actually thought that the movie was not good enough.

In turn, teach Zhou Chen a lesson.

Although his mouth seemed quite bitter, Zhou Chen felt more and more that something was wrong.

After thinking about it, Zhou Chen slowly asked a question.

"Have you read the script I sent you?"

Sure enough, Li Xue immediately raised her head arrogantly when she heard this question.

"I'll only read those finely polished scripts, your script is here, I'll take it out for you."

As he spoke, he also took out the script sent by Zhou Chen from the side.

Sure enough, the packaging was still there, and there was obviously no trace of opening, let alone reading.

Zhou Chen suddenly cried and laughed, no wonder the other party has always refused to participate in his own movies.

The co-author felt that he was floating, and the level of the movie he produced was unbearable.

However, Zhou Chen was not angry because of the other party's contempt.

Because when the other party taught himself just now, he obviously hated iron but not steel.

This is a person who really cares about the younger generations, and although he says how he can't read the script.

But the script has been preserved.

This quality alone made Zhou Chen even more convinced that he had to be.

So although the other party's attitude was not friendly, Zhou Chen still desperately hoped that the other party could participate.

"Teacher Li, if you still think so after reading the script, I will definitely not disturb you, turn around and leave!"

Under Zhou Chen's words, Li Xue was shaken.

It's not because of Zhou Chen's words.

has been acting for many years, and directors from all walks of life who beg him to perform don't know how many similar things he has said.

At first, he could listen to it, and barely watched some of it.

But when I was fed too much, I was really disgusting and couldn't stand it.

So he set the standard for himself.

It's not that you don't watch movies that have been polished for many years, it's not that you don't read scripts written by well-known directors or screenwriters, and you don't read scripts sent by really powerful people.

Therefore, although "The Redemption of Shook" was sent, he never watched it once.

But now, he was moved by Zhou Chen.

When Zhou Chen said this, it was not the gambler's last chance to gamble.

It's a kind of self-confidence, a strong self-confidence, a kind of confidence in the quality of the work.

He was not moved by Zhou Chen's words, but he was deeply moved by Zhou Chen's confident eyes.

But there is still a bit of tsundere at the moment, and it may be a little strange for someone his age to say tsundere, but it is the word that best describes the expression on his face.

"Okay, then I'll take a look."

"But you can't talk about it."

It is precisely because of his high requirements for the script that the number of people visiting his home has decreased in recent years.

If the news of breaking the vows for Zhou Chen spreads, I don't know how troublesome it will be in the future.

In this regard, Zhou Chen also nodded in agreement.

At this time, Li Xue unpacked the package and looked at the script carefully.

After reading it, it's more like a tsundere.

Obviously, it was full of disdain a second ago, but when I read the script, it was like a different person.

I was quickly drawn to the story told in the script.

The eyes are sometimes bright, sometimes dim.

It is clear that he has completely taken on the role.

It took a full three hours before he slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"Please let me participate in this movie, I can appear without pay!"

Zhou Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, it seems that the other party really likes this role.

There are generally only two situations for this kind of thing to be unpaid.

One is a rookie actor who has no ability, relatively speaking, it is more important to become famous through movies and train yourself than salary.

The other is to act in friendship, because he has a good relationship with the director, so he makes a cameo in friendship.

Many actors in "Wolf Warrior 2" are acting in friendship.

And Li Xue is a rather uncommon third case.

That is, I am quite satisfied with a role, even if I don't need money, this is for the sake of art, I have to play the role well.

This tends to happen when the characters and actors are highly compatible.

In other words, this situation often means that the performance of this character will be quite outstanding.

Of course, Zhou Chen is not short of this money.

The salary that should be given will not be less.

After arranging the actor's question, Zhou Chen quickly returned to the crew.

And Li Xue was full of emotion and clicked on the scarf that had not been used for a long time.

After releasing a message, Zhou Chen suddenly stood on the cusp.
