China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 217 Feeling warm in my heart
  Movies are indeed superior to TV series, and are relatively more "high-end"!
  Moreover, Wang Shu can also use movies to advertise his clothing, footwear, accessories, and milk tea brands.

However, there is a threshold for watching the movie, and the audience needs to pay for tickets.

TV dramas are different.

Not only does it require no tickets, but it can also be broadcast across the country through television broadcasts.

The propaganda effect it can play is far greater than that of movies.

In addition, in this era, due to the popularity of television sets and the lack of movie screens, TV dramas are the main media for the whole country.

It was precisely because of this that Wang Shu devoted himself to idol dramas.

Idol dramas are not only simple to produce and require low investment, but also have better publicity effects than other types of TV dramas due to the characteristics of their content.

It’s not that movies are bad for publicity, but idol dramas are more cost-effective.

Ning Jing and others were helpless when they saw Wang Shu's appearance. They were worried that Wang Shu would be dissatisfied if they continued to persuade him, so they stopped trying to persuade him.

After a while, the activity started.

The host asked some questions, and Zhou Xun, Mei Ting and other creative staff, including Wang Shu, answered them one by one.

It was around two o'clock in the afternoon, and the publicity activities had not yet been completed. Wang Shu left early after he was almost done with his work.

He was in a hurry to take his driver's license test and had to get there quickly.

He had already found time to register before, and now he was just waiting to pass the exam.

And, the final step has been reached. The actual driving test.

In 2006, there were three steps to get a driver's license.

The first step is to learn theoretical knowledge and take the theoretical knowledge test.

The second step is to take the mock practice exam.

The simulated driving test is different from the actual driving test. It mainly tests the candidates' basic driving skills.

During this process, candidates need to accurately judge the position, speed and direction of the vehicle and drive according to the signs or signals.

The third step is to take the actual driving test.

After completing these three steps, you can get your driver's license.

As an experienced driver, Wang Shu passed the exam without much trouble in the first two steps.

Now, comes the final step of the actual driving test.

After passing this step, he will soon be able to obtain his driver's license.

Then, owning his first car.

After a lot of running around, I successfully arrived at the examination room and successfully completed the exam. I only had to wait a few days to get my driver's license.

In the evening, Wang Shu received calls from Zhou Xun, Mei Ting and others, all asking him if his driving test went well.

"How did the driver's license test go?" Zhou Xun asked with concern.

Wang Shu left early at noon and told them that he was going to take the driver's license test. Only then did Zhou Xun, Mei Ting and others make concerned calls.

"After passing it, I can get my driver's license in a few days." Wang Shu said with a smile.

"Congratulations." Zhou Xun heard from his cell phone that Wang Shu had obtained his driver's license and was very happy.

Then ask: "When will I buy a car?"

"You can buy it after you get your driver's license. Don't be in a hurry." Wang Shu said.

The two chatted about trivial matters for a while, and Zhou Xun suddenly asked curiously: "The box office of "Space Traveler" exceeded 2 million. Are we about to start preparations for that movie?"

"Have you guessed all this?" Wang Shu teased, pretending to be surprised.

If Wang Shu were in front of Zhou Xun at this moment, he would have seen Zhou Xun roll her eyes speechlessly after hearing these words, and she said: "Who are you going to invite to play the heroine?"

"Gong Li!" Wang Shu knew that if there were not enough actresses to be invited, Zhou Xun would definitely have objections, so he simply told the answer directly. “It is indeed her.” When Zhou Xun heard the name, he sounded like he had already guessed it.

"Huh?" Wang Shu reacted subconsciously.

Zhou Xun laughed and said, "Director Han wants to replace me as the heroine. In the Mainland, apart from Zhang Ziyi, she is Gong Li."

"When "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was filming in Hengdian, you exchanged contact information with Gong Li."

"I guess you will choose Gong Li instead of Zhang Ziyi."

"Haha." Wang Shu smiled after hearing this.

He could tell that there was something in Zhou Xun's words.

There is something in this statement that does not mean she has any objection to her heroine being replaced.

But he is saying that Zhang Ziyi is not as good as Gong Li.

As a new director with a box office of 2 million, Wang Shu would naturally make Gong Li his first choice since he wanted to make a big production.

"Where are the actors?" Zhou Xun asked again.

"I haven't considered it yet." Wang Shu said half-truthfully.

"Planning to audition?" Zhou Xun knew Wang Shu well and asked immediately.

"Director Han means to invite auditions, not to open the auditions." Wang Shu didn't hide anything, and directly informed him of the arrangements for the auditions.

Zhou Xun was silent for a while after hearing this.

The four words "invite to audition" already let her know that this was directly blocking second- and third-tier actors from the door and only extending invitations to first-tier actors.

China Film, the second domestic director with a box office of over 2 million, is indeed enough.

She opened her mouth, and finally asked in a low voice: "Can you send Chen Kun an audition invitation?"

She didn't want the relationship between the two to deteriorate because of this, but Chen Kun was her good friend, and Chen Kun had mentioned such things in her ears, so she couldn't pretend not to hear them.

"Okay." Wang Shu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately agreed.

Anyway, it’s just an audition invitation, and it’s not like Chen Kun’s role has been directly confirmed, so there’s no need to refuse.

At that time, Chen Kun is not qualified, so he can just brush it off.

"Thank you." When Zhou Xun heard that Wang Shu agreed so quickly, he thanked him with warmth in his heart.

"It's okay." Wang Shu smiled and said softly, "You finally spoke once, how could I refuse?"

When Zhou Xun heard this, her heart felt even warmer. Seeing that Wang Shu was not angry, her previous entanglements dissipated a lot. She added sweetly: "You, Chen Kun, don't need to audition for the leading role, just audition for the supporting role."

She also knew that since it was a big production, Chen Kun's status was simply not enough to play the leading role.

The only ones who have a chance are the supporting characters.

For Chen Kun, it is also an extremely valuable opportunity to play a supporting role in a "blockbuster" directed by Wang Shu.

Because in such a blockbuster film directed by Wang Shu, even if it is a small supporting role, it is still an extremely precious commodity in the entertainment industry.

"What? Are you still thinking about him auditioning for the leading role?" Wang Shu joked after hearing this.

"No!" Zhou Xun said aggrievedly, "I don't have this idea. I just want to say that his success rate in auditioning for supporting roles is higher, and you will definitely reject him from auditioning for the leading role."

At the end of this sentence, there was suddenly some resentment in his tone.

"Haha." Wang Shu laughed twice after hearing this.

When Zhou Xun heard the laughter, he was silent for a moment, and then said seriously: "Thank you."

"Huh?" Wang Shu asked in confusion and surprise, "Didn't you thank me just now?"

"It's different." Zhou Xun responded, and then said, "When do you have time? I'll treat you to dinner."
