Chapter 246: Audition Invitation
Fortunately, Guangzhou is the terminal station of this train, otherwise when these two people are found by the attendant, they may not know where to go.
"Brother, I was wrong, I won't drink so much next time."
The pony dragged his luggage and followed behind Zhang Chu, frowning.
"A big girl, drinking so much alcohol outside, what if you meet a bad person?"
Zhang Chu, the boss, has to his old father's heart.
The pony didn't dare to reply, and listened honestly.
She also knew that she almost had a big accident this time, and if she delayed Zhang Chu's audition, Wang Jinghua would never be able to spare her.
"Brother, let's go over now? Or...... Let's find a hotel to rest for the night! ”
"The decision is to meet the director today, and when it comes to tomorrow, maybe people will return to Xiangjiang."
This time, Zhang Chu was invited to audition for a Hong Kong film, and the director was Liu Weiqiang.
was born as a photographer, and later changed careers to become a director, and the "Crazy Boy" series that Zhang Chu has seen is his work.
got into a taxi and reported his location, Zhang Chu hurriedly closed his eyes and recuperated.
He's not in great shape right now.
Half an hour later, the car arrived downstairs at the hotel.
"Brother, come on!"
Zhang Chu turned out the number given by Wang Jinghua and dialed it.
The chime only rang for a moment before it was connected.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang?"
"It's me, director Liu Weiqiang?"
"Has Mr. Zhang arrived?"
"It's in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel."
Subsequently, Liu Weiqiang reported a room number, hung up the phone, and asked Xiaoma to wait downstairs, and Zhang Chu entered the elevator alone.
Standing at the door of the room, Zhang Chu quickly tidied up his clothes, if he had put them before, he would definitely not have noticed these details.
has been in the circle for a long time, and Zhang Chu now understands many rules of this era.
Ring the doorbell, and footsteps can be heard inside.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang."
"Director Liu Weiqiang?"
The other party smiled: "I'm Mai Zhaohui!" ”
Belch......
It's embarrassing.
followed Mai Zhaohui into the room, there were two people inside, after the introduction, the one with Si Siwenwen was Liu Weiqiang, and the other bucktooth was Zhuang Wenqiang.
The three of them came to Guangzhou this time to meet the investors of this play, and meeting Zhang Chu was just by the way.
The main investment of this film was originally Liu Dehua's Tianmu Company, but during the preparation period, due to some other reasons, Liu Dehua had to hand over the production rights.
Now that this drama has been taken over by Media Asia Pictures, it is said that with Media Asia's financial resources, there is no need to attract other investors to enter the market.
However, in the past two years, the film market in Hong Kong has been sluggish, many big productions have lost money, and film and television companies have begun to become cautious when investing.
In addition to helping to share risks, bringing in capital from the mainland can also provide some convenience for future issuance in the mainland.
If you want to attract mainland investors, you naturally need to use mainland actors.
At present, the hottest young actor in the mainland is undoubtedly Zhang Chu.
As a screenwriter, Zhuang Wenqiang briefly introduced the plot.
This is a very popular police film in Xiangjiang in recent years, but it is very different in terms of storyline.
In previous police and gangster movies, good guys are good guys, bad guys are bad guys, and in the end, justice triumphs over evil, and bad guys get the punishment they deserve.
But in this story, which is tentatively titled "Infernal Hell", it becomes a wolf dressed in sheep's clothing and pretending to be a sheep, and the sheep are mixed in the wolf pack and pretend to be wolves.
The police and the criminal syndicate sent undercover agents to each other to break into each other's interiors and launched a high-IQ game.
What Zhang Chu wanted to try was the sheep that had mixed into the wolves.
Without a script and no specific storyline, Zhang Chu could only figure it out on his own, imagining what kind of state a police undercover agent who broke into a criminal syndicate should be.
"Director Liu, how long has this police officer been undercover?"
Liu Weiqiang didn't expect Zhang Chu to suddenly ask about this, and said after thinking for a while.
"For a long time!"
"What made him go undercover for so long?"
Liu Weiqiang frowned slightly, feeling that Zhang Chu's question was getting more and more bizarre.
"His boss wants to use him to destroy the biggest criminal group in Xiangjiang, and this undercover agent is the most important chess piece in his hands."
Liu Weiqiang didn't wait to speak, Zhuang Wenqiang hurriedly said.
He was very interested in Zhang Chu's question.
"In other words, although he is a police officer, he has been used by his superiors!"
Zhuang Wenqiang nodded: "So to speak." ”
"What is his status in the criminal syndicate?"
"It's not very important."
"Why? If it is analyzed according to common sense, he can be selected to break into the largest criminal group in Xiangjiang as an undercover agent, there must be his excellence, boldness and carefulness are just basic qualities, such a person, if you want to rise to a higher position, it should not be difficult. ”
Character analysis, it was Zhang Jingchu who taught him at the beginning, and after filming so many dramas, he gradually developed a habit.
When you come into contact with a new character, you will immediately dissect the character from multiple angles.
Zhuang Wenqiang listened to Zhang Chu's analysis, and couldn't help but admire in his heart.
Just by listening to the synopsis of the story and the character settings, you can analyze so many details.
How did he know that Master Zhang used to be a brocade guard, whether it was investigating cases or spying, he relied on his meticulous skills.
"Yes, he has been at the bottom of the gang, mainly because he has another layer of identity, he is the illegitimate son of the former boss of this criminal group."
This is even more complicated.
"That is to say, his boss knew his identity, so he pinched him, and although this undercover agent has a bad background, he has a bright heart, and he has always been eager to restore his identity as a police officer and be a good person."
The four words "heart to the light" directly touched Zhuang Wenqiang.
Infernal Hell!
It is said that there are people who walk in the light, but behind them is darkness, and some people walk alone in the darkness, but their hearts are always towards the light.
At this time, Liu Weiqiang finally found an opportunity and interjected a sentence.
"If you are asked to play it, how do you deal with this character, this character can't be simply good, or simply bad, he ......"
Zhang Chu directly took over the words: "He is a person who is good at disguise, even if he is in the wolf pack, the wolves around him will not find that he is an alien, but he can show his true side through some details, such as casual movements and eyes." ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Chu thought of another question.
"How is the plot arranged? Will the true identities of the wolf and sheep be uncovered at the beginning, or will they be saved until the siege is solved, and then the mystery will be revealed? ”
Hearing Zhang Chu's question, Liu Weiqiang, Mai Zhaohui, and Zhuang Wenqiang all widened their eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Chu couldn't have seen the script, they would have suspected that someone had leaked the secret.
Another feature of the story "Infernal Hell" is that the true identities of the wolf and the sheep are directly disclosed at the beginning of the story.
"If that's the case, this undercover agent should be very tired and anxious."
Zhuang Wenqiang said: "Yes, he will see a psychiatrist regularly and will also take antidepressants. ”
"What about the end?"
"Died before he caught the wolf and was able to return to the sun."
It's really miserable.
Being inside a criminal syndicate, it was finally possible to run to the sun, but it turned out that it was only one step away, but people fell into the darkness.
"If you were asked to play this role, would you have the confidence to play it well?"
Liu Weiqiang asked.
Zhang Chu shook his head: "I don't know, I've never played such a complicated role before." ”
Liu Weiqiang didn't expect Zhang Chu to say this, if it was someone else, even if he didn't know the bottom in his heart, he would be full of confidence.
In fact, Zhang Chu is only an alternative to Liu Weiqiang, and he is a low-ranking candidate.
His real favorite actor is Liang Chaowei.
But Media Asia's boss Lin Jianyue wants to enter the mainland market, and one of the two male protagonists must be a mainland actor.
The wolf has already decided Liu Dehua, so the sheep will not be able to use Liang Chaowei.
There are not many mainland actors to choose from for this role, and Zhang Chu seems to be the best option.
Of course, Liu Weiqiang can also insist on his own opinions, but the consequence of that is likely to be that the play is completely shelved.
In fact, before this, the book "Infernal Hell" had been shot by many film and television companies in Xiangjiang.
There is no other reason, the undercover theme is old-fashioned, and although this kind of theme has always been filmed, it has never really caused a boom in the Xiangjiang film industry.
Therefore, most companies are reluctant to invest in such movies that seem to have little effect.
After the Tianmu Group is out, Media Asia is already the last hope.
"So, would you like to take on the challenge?"
Liu Weiqiang finally compromised, and now the important thing is to shoot this work.
Although Zhang Chu is not the best choice, listening to his analysis is the Tao, there may be unimaginable surprises.
"Of course."
When has Mr. Zhang ever been afraid of a challenge, the more difficult the challenge, the more interesting it will be for him.
When he came out of the room, Zhang Chu already had an extra script in his hand.
In addition, Liu Weiqiang also told him that the time he could prepare for was only three months.
In October, the drama will be launched in Xiangjiang.
"Brother, how's it going?"
Xiao Ma had been waiting in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, and when he saw Zhang Chu coming out of the elevator, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Script?"
Zhang Chu smiled and gently tapped the pony's forehead with the script.
"Is the room open?"
Xiaoma smirked: "It's open, it's open, brother, Sister Hua called just now to ask." ”
"Then tell Sister Hua! The room key card was given to me. ”
After taking the room card, Zhang Chu turned around and entered the elevator again, he couldn't wait to see what kind of story this was.
I want to know in detail what kind of person the sheep mixed into the wolf's den is.
What kind of experience did it make him, a person who was born with the label of "bad guy", desperate to dispel the darkness and run to the light.
