After sending away another actress who was currently between second-rate and first-rate, Zhang Hong casually threw the small note she put into his palm into the trash can.
"China is such a big country, why can't we find the actors I want?"
Why are there so few high-quality leeks that have good acting skills, good looks, can endure hardships, and cost less?
No, you can't say that.
I Zhang is a proletarian and cannot be viewed from the perspective of a capitalist.
It should be said that why are there so few young actors who are willing to endure hardship and make progress?
Lin Muqing took off his flat glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose, frowned and said, "But if we don't find some famous and capable actors, can this drama really be effective?"
Zhang Hong looked at the two professionals, Luo Yun and Bai Xueye: "What do you two think?"
Luo Jun smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Hong, I am only a small actor, and I have only acted in your TV series "Yun Luo Hong Chen". If you ask me... this is like finding someone who is an amateur 6th Dan Go player.
, and then asked him what he thought the level of the national players was."
Zhang Hong looked at Bai Xueye again.
She spit out the melon seed shell, thought about it, and then replied: "Brother Hong, these melon seeds are quite fragrant."
Zhang Hong: "..."
Damn it, no wonder you have such good congenital conditions and have been working as a sidekick for two years. You are really useless!
"Brother Hong, you have rejected almost all first- and second-tier young actors now. What should we do?" Lin Chuan began to guide Zhang Hong, "How about... take a look at those high-quality and cheap young actors?"
The youngest of these so-called first- and second-tier young actors is over thirty.
They have basically taken up the leading role in mainstream TV series.
Those Mesozoic actors in their 40s and 50s charge relatively low prices, and most of them play important supporting roles, which is commonly known as veteran actors.
It doesn't matter to Zhang Hong, this kind of actor, because the price is not high.
There is a big problem with the lead actor.
Mainstream actors in their thirties and forties charge higher prices than the previous ones.
Although it is not as exaggerated as Xiaoxianrou, it is not far behind, and there is no kickback!
This TV series is not invested by the capital behind the little fresh meat, so we can give them so much money.
China Heavy Industries gave you one billion, as long as you can meet the old man's requirements.
The money saved belongs to Zhang Hong.
Of course, it is impossible to give them tens of millions for free.
This drama is relatively less focused on acting.
But as for Xiao Xianrou... Zhang Hongmo rubbed his chin: "Does Xiao Xianrou have that kind of acting skills? I don't want to meet a big star again, I'm afraid I can't control myself."
Moreover, the term "little fresh meat" itself is already very discriminatory.
Lin Chuan continued to lie: "Brother Hong, you don't understand this. I used to dance with you because you were also a new director.
But things are different now. You have proven yourself, at least initially.
Of course those little fresh meats that haven’t become popular yet will have to look up to you. How dare they dance with you again? Even the price won’t be too high.”
Lin Chuan believed what he said.
But if you think about it carefully...maybe that's really what happened?
Zhang Hong was obviously moved.
But...
"The interview process still needs to go through." After thinking about it, he made a decision, "In this way, we can start sending messages to the agencies who want to recommend new people. They can be asked to audition, but they have to perform a short part that I have designated.
The plot.”
Lin Chuan beamed with joy: "I'll contact you right away!"
............
Wang Chen has been very troubled recently.
His debut should be considered quite successful.
He played the second male lead in this year's most popular movie "Blood Youth".
At the beginning, he was criticized for his poor acting skills and was the only actor holding him back.
But later, after Director Liu added a scene and changed his identity to a traitor, his reputation reversed.
Oh, it turns out that the expression on his face is always due to jealousy!
Oh, it turns out that the lack of expression is because my heart is full of activities!
After all, he plays a traitor, and his conscience cannot withstand his own condemnation, but he cannot give up the glory promised by others, so the performance is so entangled and full of worries.
That's okay.
Therefore, Wang Chen can be said to have had a relatively good start.
Then, the rhythm comes.
Because Zhang Hong is popular, even more popular than Wang Chen.
Not only did he outperform everyone in the same TV series, but he also wrote a song that is now a hit, and the popularity of the TV series he filmed is not much different from "Blood Youth".
Then Director Liu Yishou and Director Sun Zheng personally supported him.
Zhang Hongcai is the most popular fried chicken in this period of time.
Unfortunately, no one could interview him, and he did not participate in any activities or variety shows.
So the question is, how do you write news?
Of course, I dig into all the details of Zhang Hong before and after his debut.
Then......
He, Wang Chen, was originally the male lead in "The Red Dust", but entertainment reporters found out that he had a falling out with Zhang Hong and quit the group.
However, JIMEI Communication’s response was also very quick.
They quickly and sincerely apologized, and then sent a lawyer's letter to wipe their behinds to several smaller newspapers or individuals. Then they blamed Wang Chen's female agent who weighed nearly 200 pounds and removed Wang Chen with ease.
.
However, because of this rhythm, Wang Chen has been on several Weibo hot searches, and even made headlines for a few days.
He didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
However, the company did not give up on him and found him a new agent.
He looks to be in his thirties, wearing a suit with a meticulous back and gold-rimmed glasses.
Now, the two of them are discussing something.
Wang Chen raised his head and looked at his new manager pleadingly: "Brother Li, do you really want to do this?"
His new agent is called Li Ran. According to Wang Chen's own inquiries, this eldest brother is a ruthless character and has already cultivated many stars who are the pillars of the company.
I don’t know why the company sent him to take charge of me this time, but if you put it this way, it means that you won’t be abandoned by the company, right?
Li Ran pushed up his glasses, and there was no emotion on his face: "Well, I have to do this. Go and ask Director Zhang Hong to give you a chance."
"But......"
"There is no but." Li Ran looked down at Wang Chen condescendingly, "You should understand your situation, so what I say is completely from your standpoint.
The only person who can change your reputation now is Director Zhang Hong. According to the news obtained by the company, Director Zhang is currently casting for his new film. Do you understand what this means?"
Wang Chen pursed his lips: "But with my relationship with him, it's impossible for me to get the male lead."
"It's not about being the leading male lead, it's about being able to enter the crew." Li Ran's voice was still cold, "As long as you can enter the crew, no matter what role you play, your negative reputation will be self-defeating.
So what you have to do now is to beg Director Zhang to let you into the crew. Don’t think about salary, dignity, or roles. Even if he slaps you in the face, even if he kneels down, still ask him to let you in.
Crew."
"Can......"
"This is the last chance. If you don't do this, I can tell you clearly that the company will give up on you. Because Director Zhang will inevitably rise in the future, and there are many actors in the company, there will always be opportunities for cooperation in the future. They
I won’t completely turn against Director Zhang just because of your small role. Helping you once before is already the limit.” Li Ran raised his hand and glanced at the Omega on his wrist, and said calmly, “I’ll give you five minutes to decide.”
The expression on Wang Chen's face changed.
His fists clenched his pants tightly for a long, long time.
Too many memories flashed through my mind.
From his gritted teeth and patience during his several years as a trainee, to the hesitation when he debuted, to the numbness of following the instructions of the female manager, to the caution of Liu Yishou's crew, to the submissiveness when being scolded, to being ignored when seeing Zhang Hong again.
Until the end, the figure waving from behind when Zhang Hong left the crew, and the words of Director Liu.
"You have to work harder and be grateful to Xiao Zhang. He said you have good talent, so I am willing to give you a chance."
The clenched fists loosened.
It also seemed to loosen the tangle in Wang Chen's heart.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his head and said, "Then go find him."

It is said that it will be on the shelves soon. It is unfortunate that it has been updated too soon. It has lost two or three weeks of recommendations, but forget it, everyone is happy.
