Chapter 79: Eccentric Director, You Can't Play My Male Lead
A few days later, Xiao Jingci met the director of "The Fall" in the reception room of Yitian Pictures.
is completely different from the image of the director imagined by Xiao Jingci, the fallen director is a middle-aged man with all his hair out.
He was wearing a fat sweater jacket with a ball of hair, a pair of basic black canvas shoes that were about to turn white, and his teeth had traces of perennial smoking.
He was not tall, his figure was very thin, but his waist was straight, and he exuded a literati pride from top to bottom.
Somehow, it made Xiao Jingci think of his husband in Guozijian.
"Hello, my name is Ke Zhou." The director's expression was as usual, and he introduced himself in a light tone.
His expression was not enthusiastic, and even a little detached, and after entering the door, he just shook hands politely with Xiao Jingci, and went straight to find a place to sit down.
didn't show a trace of excitement and gratitude at all because Xiao Jingci rejected Director Chen's book.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, Xiao Jingci coughed softly twice, and politely introduced himself: "Hello, Director Ke, my name is Xiao Jingci." ”
"I know you, you are young and promising, and you won an award for the first time you made a TV series." Ke Zhou looked at Xiao Jingci's eyes calmly, and there was no deliberate compliment in his tone.
It's what it looks like to state the facts.
"It's just luck." Xiao Jingci smiled embarrassedly and walked to sit down opposite Ke Zhou.
"It's not luck, either." Ke Zhou opened his mouth quietly, took the coffee brought by the secretary and put it in front of him, hugged it with both hands, and said: "You have a natural prince and aristocratic temperament, and it is just right to play an ancient puppet." ”
Xiao Jingci was stunned, and found that there was something about this director, and he could see his true identity at a glance, which made Xiao Jingci not know how to answer, so he could only politely say thank you.
The next words made Xiao Jingci even more completely overwhelmed.
Ke Zhou looked at Xiao Jingci for a while, and shook his head shallowly: "It's a pity that you are not suitable for my protagonist." ”
These words embarrassed Xiao Jingci, he was not angry in his heart, but became more interested in the director in front of him.
He was silent for a moment, the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, and he looked at Ke Zhou and asked, "Where did Director Ke's words come from?" ”
Ke Zhou picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, looking up at Xiao Jingci's eyes: "The thickness is not enough, you are from a rich and noble family at first glance, and you are very different from my protagonist, plus you have just acted, and your qualifications are too shallow." ”
When he said these words, his tone was still light, neither humble nor arrogant, and it was exactly the same as just now, just stating the facts.
Just because he stated the facts, Xiao Jingci didn't know where to refute for a while.
Xiao Jingci touched his nose in embarrassment, took a deep breath, and said in a sincere tone to Ke Zhou: "Director Ke, I really like your script." ”
"Thank you for liking, no offense, it's just that the fall is a book I've been preparing for several years, and no one can ruin him." Saying that, his gaze looked into the distance through Xiao Jingci: "If I can't meet a suitable actor, I'd rather not shoot." ”
Xiao Jingci was a little embarrassed when he said this, and at the same time he admired Ke Zhou, and he didn't know how to reply for a while.
Ke Zhou didn't seem to care about Xiao Jingci's reaction, his eyes looked into the distance and returned to Xiao Jingci's face: "This script is based on real events, I am so serious, and I don't want to live up to the deceased." ”
These words were even more unexpected than Xiao Jingci.
He pondered in his heart for a while, got up and bowed to Ke Zhou: "Director Ke, give me a month, if you think it's not okay at that time, I won't force it." ”
Ke Zhou was obviously shocked by this sudden move, and his expression, which had not changed much, finally made some waves.
He heard before he came that Xiao Jingci turned down Director Chen's invitation in order to star in "The Fall", and he has always been a little grateful to this young man.
It's just that such gratitude can't lower his demands on the work.
Now seeing that Xiao Jingci is so sincere, Ke Zhou was embarrassed, he stood up, stretched out his hands to support Xiao Jingci, and was a little curious.
"Why don't you take the road that can explode, but you are so persistent in this script?"
Hearing Ke Zhou's question, Xiao Jingci's eyes appeared Xia Zhiyi's appearance, he smiled, looked at Ke Zhou and replied seriously: "Because the girl I like is deeply involved in cyberbullying, I want to do something for her with practical actions." ”
The expression on Ke Zhou's face loosened a lot, his eyes flickered, he stood up, and solemnly shook hands with Xiao Jingci.
"I'm sorry, it was a stereotype at first." After saying that, he glanced at the calendar on his watch and continued: "I will send the contract to your agent first, and we will meet here in a month." ”
Hearing that Ke Zhou finally agreed with him, Xiao Jingci laughed happily.
Waiting for Ke Zhou to leave, Xiao Jingci found Bai Jingjing and asked her to find a dance teacher and an acting teacher for herself.
Ke Zhou is right, he can win the award for the first drama, and there are some elements of his true colors.
If he wants to play "The Fall" well, he is too far away from the role.
Now Xiao Jingci is completely busy, whether it is dancing or acting, it is not a quick thing, and the time of a month is really a little tense.
He could only use all his free time.
It's really a bit painful for a young couple who are still in love, but fortunately, Xia Zhiyi is also busy.
Lan Anan arranged a match for Xia Zhiyi.
This time it's a regular competition, world level.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship is more entertaining, and Xia Zhiyi cannot represent the country, but if he can really win the championship, the world will know that Xia Zhiyi is a Chinese.
In a sense, standing on the championship podium of the ultimate fight, Xia Zhiyi's dream has come true.
For the competition, Xia Zhiyi also focused on training.
The time for the two to see each other is getting less and less.
