Huayu special effects started in 97

Beijing, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video Building.

In the chairman's office, Chen Kun sat in front of Jiang Heng, looking a little unnatural.

As a popular male star in the Chinese entertainment industry, despite his good looks and acting skills, he has not collaborated much with Jiang Heng.

Over the years, he has only participated in the TV series "Dafeng Night Watchmen" produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures, in which he played Xu Xinnian, and it was a supporting role.

As a result, it has been rumored in the circle that Jiang Heng doesn't like Chen Kun very much.

The reason is simple. When filming "The Story of a Noble Family", he treated Liu Yifei badly.

The news was so convincing and no one involved came out to refute it. In addition, he had failed many times in his bid to play the leading role in Jiang Heng's special effects blockbuster, so the news spread even more widely!

So much so that in the end, even Chen Kun himself believed it.

Otherwise, I am quite talented. Why haven’t I even got a supporting role in a blockbuster movie after all these years?

Is it possible that there are really no suitable roles?

As for this time, he also wanted to give it a try.

After all, the success of the first movie of "The Three-Body Problem" is already there, and the published novel has been widely circulated in Europe and the United States, and is regarded as a masterpiece by many political and business elites.

As the second film in the series, "The Three-Body Problem 2" will most likely be the most exciting one, with a great chance of being a global hit and earning to billion US dollars at the box office.

Once he succeeds in competing for the male lead, his career will undergo earth-shaking changes!
Thinking of this, even if he is unwilling, the agency will force him to come!
Fortunately, Jiang Heng was considerate enough to let him in, but he had to queue.

Deng Chao, Tong Dawei, Huo Jianhua, Peng Yuyan, Zhong Hanliang, Han Geng, Lin Gengxin... Too many male actors in the circle who have good image and temperament and are not too old have come.

Not to mention that everyone is very strong, but at least the competition is fierce.

The worst thing is that no one knows what kind of person Jiang Heng wants to find to play Luo Ji, which makes everyone very anxious. It's like they are spending all their money to buy lottery tickets and waiting for the prize to be drawn, especially for a super huge jackpot.

So when he walked into the office, Chen Kun, who claimed to have seen a lot of ups and downs, was a little nervous. After greeting, he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Heng asked casually, "Have you read the novel "The Three-Body Problem"?"

Chen Kun was silent for a moment, "I've seen a little bit!"

"Obscure?"

Chen Kun smiled awkwardly, "Yes, there are some!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "That's normal. I also couldn't get over it when I first read it. Literary works are different from popular novels!"

Chen Kun smiled and nodded, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Jiang Heng continued: "Then do you know Luo Ji?"

Chen Kun nodded, "I understand. When he first appeared, he was a cynical and irresponsible young scholar who often changed girlfriends. He has a double degree in astronomy and sociology, and is a professor of sociology at Huaqing University. He once had a girlfriend who had a profound influence on him in terms of emotions and literary literacy. Under her guidance, he invented a perfect female image, but eventually broke up with his girlfriend because of his obsession with virtual lovers.

After meeting Ye Wenjie in front of Yang Dong’s tombstone…”

Chen Kun had obviously done his homework. It was likely that his agent or assistant had urgently read through the novel and sorted out the character's characteristics and experiences for him.

"So what do you think is the most important thing to play this role well?"

Chen Kun thought for a few seconds and said seriously: "I don't care!"

"Don't care about what?"

"He doesn't care about himself, nor does he care about all of humanity! If the Trisolarans dare to launch an invasion, he will send out the coordinates and we will all die together. What's the big deal?"

Jiang Heng smiled and said yes, because most of the answers from the people before him were cynical.

Of course, there are similar answers, but the image and temperament are a little worse than Chen Kun. When he was young, Luo Ji was a dandy who traveled around with women. You have to have that image and temperament to convince the audience!

After all, Luo Ji didn’t come from a wealthy family, so he had to have strong personal qualities!

Although Jiang Heng was satisfied with Chen Kun's image, temperament and answers, he still had a simple audition since he was already there.

Jiang Heng asked him to stand up and directly performed some scenes related to Luo Ji without props.

When it comes to performing, Chen Kun is not so nervous.

He stood up and performed a short segment according to Jiang Heng's request.

"Okay, that's not bad. Since time is limited, I won't keep you here. I'll notify you no later than tomorrow noon!"

Chen Kun hurried over to shake hands and said thank you.

After coming out, a staff member first guided him downstairs to the rest and waiting area, where his agent, assistant, and driver all came over and asked what was going on.

Most of the male stars who were still waiting in line had nervous expressions.

Chen Kun's expression was solemn. "Let's talk about it when we get back!" He went to the elevator first.

When they arrived at the underground parking lot, the agent couldn't wait any longer and quickly stepped forward and asked, "How was the interview? He wouldn't really have any opinion of you, right?"

Chen Kun smiled helplessly, "No, Director Jiang's attitude was good throughout the whole process, and I felt appreciation from his eyes. I think the chances are still quite high. If no one says anything to him!"

"Are you talking about Liu Yifei?" the agent was a little nervous.

Chen Kun shook his head, "That shouldn't be the case!"

Although he didn't have much contact with Liu Yifei later, since they were in the same entertainment industry, many things could not be hidden.

Fans and audiences may not know who is good and who is bad, but people in the circle often know it clearly.

"I'm just worried that some big company will work with Director Jiang and strongly recommend their candidates!"

"What kind of big company?"

"Like Penguin, Ahri, and Wanda!"

"It shouldn't be that serious, it shouldn't be that serious!" the agent murmured.

Having said that, there is also some nervousness.

Due to the continued prosperity of the Chinese entertainment industry, two Internet giants, Penguin and Ali, have indeed entered the market.

In recent years, the two companies have been behind many film projects.

It’s just that Jiang Heng has no shortage of money or resources, and his special effects blockbusters have not yet been touched by the two companies.

But this project is different, "The Three-Body Problem 2", not only does it have a very good box office prospect, but the key is that the original novel is regarded as the Bible by many Internet giants!
For them, being able to invest and participate in the production of such a film is of great significance.

Normally, ordinary actors would never think of such a thing.

It’s just that Chen Kun has a melancholy personality and thinks a lot. Although he feels that he has a great chance of success, he still thinks about the various reasons why he might fail.

So after getting in the car and leaving, I went back home and stayed in the room without coming out.

Jiang Heng said that there would be news before tomorrow noon. Before that, he really didn't want to do anything!
In a small meeting at iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, Jiang Heng told several company executives about the results of the audition, and initially felt that Chen Kun was more suitable.

"What about Wanda Pictures?" a vice president couldn't help but say.

Jiang Heng just raised his head and glanced at him, and the latter was so frightened that he dared not even breathe! (End of this chapter)
