China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 360 Do you have any ideas?
"Travel to Taipei" is the first of its kind in mainland zombie movies, and Chen Kun naturally has some ideas.

But...what a coincidence, the schedule conflicts.

Even if there is a schedule conflict, I can still audition. If I coordinate well with the crew, I can still star in two movies at the same time.

But Wang Shu is a big director, and "Travel to Taipei" is a big production. There are countless actors eyeing this opportunity.

How could a great director make concessions for actors like them who have conflicting schedules?
Chen Kun didn't think he had such a big face, nor did he think the great director Wang Shu could tolerate the actors on the crew playing tricks.

After all, the behavior of cheating is also disrespectful to the great director and makes the director lose face.

Although it is a little better than Zhaxi, it is only a little better.

For great directors, it’s the same thing.

If it were an ordinary director, because he has an ordinary status and knows his own position, he would not say much about the behavior of a popular actor or a big-name actor.

It would be different if it were a great director.

The more I think about it, the worse I feel.

"Let's beat him again tonight," Zhou Xun said with a confused look on his face.

It's just a scheduling conflict.

Therefore, when Zhou Xun learned from Chen Kun that Wang Shu spent 3 million to shoot the first domestic commercial blockbuster with zombie elements, he was immediately moved.

If she had known there would be this movie, she would not have accepted the role in "Painted Skin".

I would like to ask, which director can bear the thought of the actors on the crew going to another crew while filming?
Chen Kun still understands the ways of the world.

Thinking of this, I feel resentful.

Zhou Xun is different. He has a close friendship with Wang Shu, he has a movie face that is recognized in the industry, and he is a movie queen.

Without high-quality art film resources, it would be impossible to surpass Gong Li if she went to win three awards in Europe.

She knew in her heart that compared to "Painted Skin", Wang Shu's zombie film was the film and television resource that could elevate her status.

For example, Chen Kaige's dissatisfaction with Yang Mi is still vivid in his mind.

Chen Kun knew in his heart that his friendship with Wang Shu was average, and since he was not a big-name actor, even if he could audition, his chances would be slim.

"Our schedules conflict, so we have no chance at all."

Wang Shu obviously would return to China from Hollywood to collaborate with China Film Group Corporation to make a blockbuster movie again, but he didn't tell her in advance.

Relatively speaking, there is a high chance of getting a role through audition.

"There is really no chance at all. Wang Shu has never mentioned this to me before, and he obviously has no intention of asking me to join the team." Zhou Xun couldn't help but say, feeling uncomfortable in his heart to the extreme.

My heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Chen Kun nodded and said with emotion: "The zombie film directed by Wang this time is the first of our domestic zombie films. I believe actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait are eyeing this opportunity."

Chen Kun knew that he was on the set of "Painted Skin" but still auditioned for "Travel to Taipei". Not only would he not be welcomed by Wang Shu, but he would also not be welcomed by Chen Jiashang.

There are no commercial blockbusters to elevate her status as a commercial star. No matter how many decent commercial movies she stars in, she cannot surpass Zhang Ziyi.

When an actor reaches her current celebrity status, if she wants to take a step further, what she lacks is resources for commercial blockbusters or high-quality art films.

"It's not my fault that Director Wang didn't tell you." Chen Kun saw that Zhou Xun had misunderstood, and explained, "I heard that Director Wang's zombie movie was originally planned to be shot in Hollywood."

"After returning to China, Director Han invited Director Wang to have dinner at his home. After that, Director Wang revised the script that was originally suitable for Hollywood, and that's how we got the current script."

"Director Wang, most likely he has no intention of returning to China to make movies."

"It's just that the relationship between Director Han and Director Wang is there. It should be that Director Han had an idea and Director Wang couldn't refuse, so he changed the script that was originally going to be shot in Hollywood and turned it into the current script."

"Zombie movies have long been a popular film and television element in Hollywood. From this, it can be deduced that Director Wang's zombie movie is indeed planned to be shot in Hollywood."

"We can also learn from this why Director Wang suddenly started making zombie movies in China."

"Because this script was never intended to be filmed in China."

"Later, it was because of Director Han that Director Wang filmed it in China."

Zhou Xun was secretly unhappy, and even his tone was somewhat resentful. When he heard Chen Kun's explanation, his eyes brightened and his mood suddenly improved.

She already understood that it was not that Wang Shu did not mention this matter to her, but that Wang Shu had no intention of filming this movie in China. After returning to China, this happened because of Han Sanping.

"So, maybe there was a reason why his cell phone was turned off before?"

Zhou Xun couldn't help but think.

Previously, it was revealed that Wang Shu would continue to cooperate with China Film to prepare movies.

But no one knows the scale of investment, as well as the type and subject matter of the film.

Now more precise news has come out, with an investment of 3 million, the first zombie disaster movie in China.

"That's it." Zhou Xun smiled, and said with a mood that changed from gloomy to bright, "He should be busy now. I'll call him to ask about the situation after finishing work in the evening."

Not long after, Zhou Xun was called by the director to take part in the filming.

Zhao Yanzi, who was idle for the time being, walked to Chen Kun, who was also idle for the time being, and asked with curious eyes: "What were you talking about just now?"

Chen Kun and Zhao Yanzi are both classmates and friends. Although they were somewhat unhappy later, their relationship is still good at this stage. As for the battle between Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun, Chen Kun can't say who is right and who is wrong.

As both actors, he clearly knows that when actresses reach the status of Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun, they must compete for position, and whoever gives in will affect their future development.

"Let's talk about Director Wang's new film." Chen Kun said directly without hiding anything.

"Zombie movie?" Zhao Yanzi answered with a smile.

"It should be said that it is the first zombie movie in our country." Chen Kun added.

When he heard Zhao Yanzi say the words "zombie movie", he knew that the other party had got the news.

"What? Do you have any ideas?" Zhao Yanzi teased.

"No, I just want to act in this movie well now." Chen Kun answered righteously.

"Travel to Taipei" Of course he has ideas, but he also understands the ways of the world.

He is currently on the set of "Painted Skin", and the director of this film is Chen Jia-shang, a well-known Hong Kong director. During this period, he must not reveal any other thoughts.

When discussing with Zhou Xun, the two were very good friends, and Zhou Xun had a deep friendship with Wang Shu, so they were able to talk openly.

He had an eye on Zhao Yanzi and Chen Kun.

"Really? It's the first domestic zombie movie, and you don't have any ideas?" Zhao Yanzi looked unbelieving.

After hearing this, Chen Kun smiled bitterly and said: "I am self-aware. This kind of opportunity is not my turn. If I think about some unrealistic things, it is better to concentrate on doing my own thing."

"Isn't it possible?" Zhao Yanzi looked surprised, "Zhou Xun has a good relationship with Director Wang. With Zhou Xun as a recommender, it's impossible for you not to have a chance?"

These words can sound provocative to a third person.

However, Zhao Yanzi said this subconsciously, and Chen Kun did not think about it.

He said: "Before I was able to appear in "The Crowd", I had already asked Xiaoxun once."

"How long has it been? How can I ask her for this kind of thing again?"

Zhao Yanzi nodded. This was indeed the truth. Then he stopped continuing the topic and asked instead, "Where is Zhou Xun? Does she have any ideas?"

"I don't know about this." Chen Kun shook his head, "We just talked about it because Director Wang's new movie is a zombie movie, and then Xiaoxun was called to start the movie, so we didn't talk much."

When Zhao Yanzi heard this, she pursed her lips.

As Chen Kun said, Wang Shu's film is the first of domestic zombie movies.

In addition, Wang Shuben is a very powerful director, and China Film took the lead in investing 3 million.

All these combined show that this zombie movie is very interesting.

Naturally, she wants to get a piece of the pie and get the role.

It's just that he doesn't have Wang Shu's connections.

She knows in her heart that in this kind of highly competitive film and television resources, it is often not who has better acting skills who can win.

What's more, at a certain stage, the acting skills of many actors are actually very different, and acting skills alone are not enough to distinguish them.

As for appearance, not only are they pretty much the same, but film and television works do not necessarily mean that the actress is good-looking, but that she is suitable only if she fits the character in the script.

At this time, connections are very important.

With connections, you can make connections, and if you go one step further, your chances of getting a role will be much better than those of actors who just come to audition.

evening.

Wang Shu received a call from Zhou Xun.

Before Zhou Xun could speak, Wang Shu took the lead and asked, "How was the filming in Hengdian?"

The filming locations of "Painted Skin" are mainly in the deserts of Hengdian and Ningx. The crew is currently filming in Hengdian.

Zhou Xun's mouth slightly curled up when he heard this. Since Wang Shu knew that she was filming in Hengdian, he showed that he was paying attention to her, and then he hummed and said: "It's so cold here, especially when filming and the clothes are thin, it's very cold. "

January is already winter, which is the coldest period before and after the Lunar New Year in Hengdian. In addition, it is also humid and cold. Although the surface temperature is higher than in the north, it is still bone-chillingly cold.

Moreover, another major feature of cold and humid areas is that as long as there is no heating, air conditioning, etc. indoors, it is usually colder indoors than outdoors.

"You don't have a cold, do you?" Wang Shu asked with concern.

Hearing Wang Shu's concerned words, Zhou Xun felt warm in his heart and said with raised lips, "No~"

"It's not like I haven't encountered this kind of situation before during filming. I'm very careful not to catch a cold."

Wang Shu smiled when he heard Zhou Xun's words. Even though Sister Xun is in her thirties, her personality has always been that of a little girl.

Her physical age is not young, but her mental age is not very mature. She always maintains the playfulness and cuteness of a little girl.

This was not said by Wang Shu, but by Zhou Xun's close friend Chen Kun who had confided it to the public many times.

When Chen Kun participated in the interview, he also commented on Zhao Yanzi when asked by reporters.

He didn't want to say much, just made a few words.
