Chapter 90 Highly sought after
Lin Shen's face was gloomy and uncertain, and no one knew what he was thinking.

It was only then that Yang Xiaomi realized that Zeng Jia was staring at him, with eyes that looked like they wanted to eat someone.

It’s over, it’s over. I just suddenly changed the script and the director is angry.

In fact, Rong Xingda treated her very well. As soon as he signed her, he arranged two dramas for her, "Double Gun" and "Red House".

In "Double Gun", she just played a cameo role to make herself familiar to the public.

"The Story of a Noble Family" is Rong Xingda's big drama, which is intended to take over from "The Story of a Noble Family".

The cast is very strong, including Tong Dawei, Sun Li, Pan Hong and Yang Xiaomi...

In this drama, she also suffered the biggest injustice in her career and was slapped by the director.

It was a real slap.

But the result for the effort was not ideal. "The Story of a Noble Family" was broadcast during the prime time on CCTV-8, but the ratings were not ideal, which was a far cry from last year's "The Story of a Noble Family".

There's really no way to argue about movies and TV series.

Same director, same team, same author, the first one was a huge hit, but the second one flopped completely, which is really puzzling.

I just disobeyed orders and now Sister Zeng is angry. Maybe Xiaowan has also written my name in the notebook.

What if they make things difficult for me?
Yang Xiaomi felt that she had to find a way to remedy the situation.

The person who tied the bell must untie it, and the person who can fix the problem naturally has to be Zhang Chen.

Thinking of this, she stood up and apologized, then ran to find Zhang Chen under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

Zhang Chen really went to the bathroom, but as soon as he went out, he was blocked by Yang Xiaomi who had been waiting for a long time.

"You...what are you doing?"

"Director Zhang, I'm here to apologize to you."

"What are you apologizing for?"

"I shouldn't have had that attitude just now. I just...just..."

Zhang Chen waved his hand: "Okay, it's okay, I accept your apology."

Yang Xiaomi tugged at Zhang Chen's sleeve: "Really? Then can I still act in your movie?"

"I've already said it, I'm not the director."

"Oh, then can I still act in The Dark 2 even if you are not directing it?" This girl even blackmailed him.

"A minor supporting role, are you willing to play it?"

Yang Xiaomi nodded.

"Don't you need to discuss this with your agent?"

"No need, Sister Zeng is eager for me to star in your movie."

Zhang Chen pondered for a moment, "Of course you can, but aren't you going to join the cast of The Return of the Condor Heroes? I remember they started filming in October."

Guo Xiang in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is Yang Xiaomi's representative work, and Zhang Chen was worried about the scheduling conflict.

"It's okay. The first half of the filming of The Return of the Condor Heroes was all on location. My role as Guo Xiang is all in the second half. I received a notice to join the crew in February."

So that's how it is. Zhang Chen calculated the time and found that there was no problem.

As for Yang Xiaomi's acting skills, Zhang Chen was not worried at all.

People in later generations all say that Yang Xiaomi's acting skills are stereotyped. Doesn't this just prove that she has a reserve of acting skills?

Without some acting skills, how can you be stereotyped?
And using yourself as a container to collect various emotions and form muscle memory, isn't this the expressionist performance method?
Yang Xiaomi debuted as a child star and starred in "Tang Ming Huang" at the age of four.

Later, he also took part in the messy "The Legend of Drunken Master" and "Monkey Baby". It's no wonder that he has been hanging around on the film set since he was a child.

That's why Zhang Chen was sure that with her acting skills, there would be no problem for her to play a small supporting role.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether she is given the small supporting role or not. Isn’t Zhang Chen just trying to build a good relationship with her?

He is not planning to get into the artist management business. Although there is money to be made, it is too troublesome and consumes resources.

Once you have an artist, you have to exchange interests with other people, and many things are beyond your control. This is not what Zhang Chen wants.

But future movies and TV series will definitely use actors and even celebrities, and this is when good relationships will come in handy.

Besides, this was the first time Li Xiaowan had spoken. After all, she was a well-known figure in the domestic entertainment industry, so it was reasonable for her to give her some face. Without affecting the quality of the film, it should be mutually beneficial. This was the correct way to enter the entertainment industry.

"Okay, that's settled then. I don't think the director will have any objections."

Zhang Chen made the decision that it didn't matter who was used for the minor supporting role. If a small star like Yang Mi was willing to play the role, there would only be benefits and no disadvantages.

"Director Zhang, you are so kind. I don't know when I can play the leading female role~"

Yang Xiaomi's tone was full of envy, she was very ambitious, she treated acting in a TV series like acting in a movie, and she wanted to be the leading role as soon as she got a supporting role.

Zhang Chen glanced at the other person and thought to himself, there is a chance. You are still Yang Xiaomi now. When you become Da Mi Mi, someone will ask you to act in "Far Cry".

Yang Xiaomi didn't know that the good man she was talking about was eager for her to grow up quickly, and she was still saying, "Director Zhang, I'm going to take the college entrance examination soon. I've decided to take the Beijing Film Academy and become your junior sister."

"Aren't you going to Tsinghua University?"

"Ah~"

Yang Xiaomi was a little surprised how Director Zhang knew her family background.

Zhang Chen thought to himself, I also know that you live in Candle Hutong.

After returning to the private room, the group started talking about other things. The atmosphere was very harmonious, as if the awkwardness just now had never existed.

Zeng Jia is very good at field work and kept picking out things that Zhang Chen was interested in. The group talked about the new film "The Shallows". Zeng Jia was surprised: "Why didn't Director Zhang pick a better schedule? Valentine's Day is a bit..."

Indeed, Valentine's Day is not a good time. If you look at the blockbusters in previous years, none of them were released at this time.

This is actually a less popular time period. The New Year has just passed, and everyone has seen the movies they were supposed to watch, so the desire to watch movies is not strong at this time.

Zhang Chen certainly knew this, and he had his own considerations. He also considered entering the Lunar New Year period, but the result would not be ideal. In 04 and 05, the number of screens was still too small, less than 3000 yuan, and it was completely unable to support the chaos of three films.

Moreover, audiences have limited wallets, so it is unlikely that they will watch three movies in a row during the Chinese New Year. But if they are selective, people will most likely choose family-friendly comedies.

But he was a little reluctant to put it on the May Day schedule.

The time span is too long.

It will be half a year before Valentine's Day is released, and May Day is even further away.

"Director Zhang will probably hold a premiere for The Shallows this time. Please remember to send us an invitation. Mimi and the others have been looking forward to watching Director Zhang's new work."

Zeng Jia is very good at talking. Zhang Chen agreed repeatedly, and then his cell phone rang.

The incoming call was from an unfamiliar number, but the location was Beijing.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chen said sorry and answered the phone.

"Sister Chang? Hello, hello... Let's have tea. Okay, oh, not today. I already have an appointment. Okay, let's make an appointment tomorrow. I will definitely be there. See you there..."

After a few more pleasantries, Zhang Chen hung up the phone, and then he found that everyone at the table was looking at him with strange eyes.

With a wry smile and shaking his head, he was not going to hide it. Zhang Chen said, "It was Chang Jihong who called and asked me to have tea with him tomorrow. I guess it's about the role..."

Zeng Jia: "Director Zhang's new work is really popular. No, it should be Tang Monk's meat. Everyone wants to have a bite~"

This sentence made everyone laugh. Zhang Chen helplessly spread his hands and said, "But I'm really not the director. I don't know how it got spread like this."

……

On the way back, Zeng Jia and Yang Xiaomi were in the same car, and Zeng Jia was scolding the disobedient Yang Xiaomi: "Next time this happens, you don't have to act~"

Yang Xiaomi begged for mercy: "Sister Zeng, I know I was wrong. I just went to make amends. Director Zhang agreed to give me a role."

"When did you go to the bathroom?"

"Yeah." Yang Xiaomi nodded.

"Not so stupid." Zeng Jia's expression looked better.

"Did he mention Lin Shen?"

Yang Xiaomi shook her head: "Director Zhang didn't say that."

In fact, she looked down on Lin Shen in her heart. He had so many resources but was still not famous. If it were me, Yang Xiaomi, I would have been famous a long time ago.

Zeng Jia had no idea what Yang Xiaomi was thinking and was still thinking about what had just happened.

"Forget it if you don't have one. It might not be suitable. But it's not bad that you got a role. At least you can get in touch with Zhang Chen. This guy seems to be very nostalgic."

"Why do you say that?"

“The protagonist of Darkness 2 is a supporting character in the previous film, and the director is also the cinematographer of the previous film, which shows that this person is nostalgic and willing to give opportunities to those around him.

This is very important. When you get to the crew, get along well with him. Then maybe you can also eat meat and drink soup with him in the future..."

……

Zhang Chen didn't know that Zeng Jia and the others were analyzing him. He was answering a call from Chen Xi.

"Brother Chen, you don't know how many people called me today. I don't know where they got the news from. They all thought you were the director of this film."

Zhang Chen also found it funny, and at the same time felt a little satisfied. It seemed that as a director worth 6000 million, he still had some weight.

"Who contacted you?"

"Xu Qing's agent, Chen Hao's agent, Xu Jinglei's agent, and our senior from the Central Academy of Drama..."

Oh, they are all big flowers.

Zhang Chen just received several text messages from senior students from Beijing Film Academy, Class of 00 or 01, asking him to have dinner together.

It seemed like I had become a hot commodity overnight.

In fact, he was already very famous after "The Darkness". Although he was not as famous as the three great directors, he was also quite famous.

After all, he is the director of a movie with a box office of 6000 million. Even among those famous directors, how many can reach a box office of 6000 million?

"You don't have to rush to reject them. They will probably withdraw on their own after knowing the truth. There is no need for us to offend them."

"Dark Side Story" is the sequel to a hit movie, and with the new director Zhang Chen, those big stars are willing to cooperate, but they are not yet at the point of committing too much.

By the time they find out that the director is not Zhang Chen, they will probably give up their interest.

Zhang Chen guessed correctly.

In a luxurious apartment in Beijing, Li Binbin is applying a facial mask. The filming of "A World Without Thieves" has just ended, so it's a good time for him to take a break these two days.

Her sister, Li Xue, who is also her agent, was on the balcony making a phone call.

"Okay, I know."

After hanging up the phone, Li Xue said to Li Binbin, "Sister, I have found out that the news is not accurate. The Dark Invasion is indeed planning to shoot a sequel, but the director is not Zhang Chen, but the previous photographer, and the female lead has already been decided."

"Then there's no need for us to get involved. I don't want to be a supporting role."

"I thought so too. Let's wait for the next opportunity."

"Well, this time, while I was filming, that slutty fox took advantage of the opportunity. Next time, I will definitely cut off his beard."

……

As a side note, there are indeed many hidden talents in the book review section. I love reading your book reviews.

If you have any good suggestions, please leave a message. I can’t think of the movie "The Witch".

I am very obedient to advice. If a book friend asked me to add the Ogre, I would add it. If a book friend asked me to write about a quarrel, I would write it.

I originally created a group to collect opinions, but I didn’t expect that no one spoke in the group, but there were quite a few in the book review area.

Also, please give me a monthly pass~
