This top guy is crazy!

Chapter 358 "Cheng Cheng" 2
After a day and a night, the plane finally arrived in Serbia.

The following fonts appear on a black screen:
[On October 2023, 10, the crew of "Resident Evil" officially arrived in Serbia]
[At this time, there are still 3 days until the start of filming and 45 days until the release]
[Saiguo, Xinxiang]
The documentary team didn't have time to rest, and went to the set without stopping with Cheng Cheng and the berets who came to pick them up at the airport.

In the business car, Cheng Cheng sat opposite Beret and asked, "What do you think of the candidate actors?"

Beret was very respectful and replied:

"This time, we sent out 10 invitations to Hollywood's top actors, but only four responded after learning about our creative team. Three more were dissatisfied with the roles, and finally only one person remained, but he has not fully agreed yet."

Cheng Cheng: "What's the reason for not fully agreeing?"

Beret glanced at the camera.

Cheng Cheng said: "Just you say it."

The man in the beret said, "The reason is that he thinks we won't succeed, and it's shameful to be a partner of a yellow man. The other three also refused for this reason."

The camera recorded it all faithfully.

The background music also started to get tense.

A line of bold black characters appeared on the screen:

[Casting]
The audience really didn't expect that "Resident Evil" had encountered problems since the casting stage, and the reason was so realistic and speechless that "it's embarrassing to play a supporting role for an Asian."

The filming process of this movie did not seem to be as smooth as they had imagined. There were games and efforts involved that they were not aware of.

[I want to be angry, but it’s very realistic]

[There is no way. Black people, Latinos, sexual minorities, and plus-size women can all get a place in Hollywood movies by virtue of political correctness, but Asians cannot.]

[So this is the meaning of "Resident Evil"! ]

[Thanks to "Resident Evil", thanks to Frog Brother]

[There was an old man who was often beaten on the road in Saiguo. He was beaten even though he was in a wheelchair. So he came to Tianxia to live in retirement.]

[When you are weak, others will bully you]

In the documentary, Cheng Cheng acted very calmly and said, "Go on, there's more."

Beret said: "We sent out 20 invitations to second-tier stars, and only three actors agreed. One of them has not yet given an accurate reply."

Cheng Cheng asked, "Where's the newcomer?"

Beret: "According to your request, Director Cheng, I held three auditions and selected 30 new actors. All of them signed contracts, and 18 of them were registered with the Actors Guild by us."

[It’s really difficult]

[Only three of the twenty agreed]

[It doesn’t matter. Today they ignore me, but tomorrow they may be out of my reach.]

[If you didn't agree at that time, you must be regretting it now, right? ]

Then, the group rushed to the set.

Cheng Cheng and Beret went into the office and started the audition immediately.

Here, a post-production of a beret is inserted.

Post-interview is the interview afterward. Generally speaking, it refers to the interview in variety shows and documentaries after an event has occurred, where the interviewee will be asked some questions about what happened at that time.

Beret faced the camera and said:
"In fact, the preparation time for Resident Evil was very short. I came to Serbia in September. From preparation to shooting, there was only a short month. In this month, I had to complete the construction of the scene, the scenery, and the props. You have to know that Resident Evil presents a high-tech scene, and the various instruments and equipment in it must be as realistic as possible. Although modeling is very advanced now, it is still somewhat different from physical scene building."

“I basically only sleep six hours a day.”

“With 10 days left before the filming of Resident Evil was about to start, after much hesitation, I finally went to Director Cheng to ask him about it. I said, Director Cheng, we are really very busy with all aspects of production. What is the current situation of our costume production, our set design, our props, and our casting?”

“The start-up may be a bit shaky.”

"But Director Cheng thought about it and said: Open!"

The camera cuts to the first actor to be interviewed, and he walks in. He is a young, handsome white actor.

The audience recognized him. His name is Logan. He played a member of the task force in "Resident Evil". He died very early and tragically. He was the one who was dragged into the door and eaten by the zombies.

[At this time, he still didn't know what was waiting for him]

[It’s my first time watching an actor audition! ]

In the picture, Logan's eyes were a little nervous, and the audience felt his nervousness.

Cheng Cheng sat on the table, pretending to be a normal person, and said to him in fluent English: "Please introduce yourself first."

"Hello, Director. My name is Logan. I am 22 years old. I have played the role of today's audition. I have conducted in-depth research and analysis. I think..."

After introducing himself, Cheng Chenghe asked for another performance, and then Cheng Cheng announced that he passed the audition.

-

"Oh my god, this audition was so fast!" Logan said to the camera in surprise in the interview, "This is the fastest audition I've ever participated in. I thought I would have to try a few more times, but I got the role! The director is very satisfied with me!"

-

After harvesting.

Cheng Cheng: "I don't want to waste time on insignificant roles. Actors who only have one or two scenes can be cast as long as their image is acceptable. Efficiency is important."

Barrage:

[Nima, I really laughed to death hahahaha]

【《The director is very satisfied with me》】

[Okay, okay, this is how it should be edited, right?! ]

[Logan: I was slapped in the face]

【I am so happy】

Next, actors began auditioning one after another.

Every one passed.

After harvesting.

Cheng Cheng: "I gave them all a pass. Those who didn't pass can still play zombies. There's no such thing as too many zombies."

【6】

[What does it mean to accept everyone who comes? ! ]

Finally, after interviewing these small roles, Samuel Bell arrived.

After coming in, Samuel was not polite at all. He sat on the chair carelessly, glanced at Cheng Cheng and Beret, and said impatiently:
"Hey, bro, to tell you the truth, your tricks can't impress me. Besides, I have changed my mind now. No matter what attractive conditions you offer, I will not participate in your movie. This is it."

【? ? ? 】

[“No matter what tempting conditions you offer, I will not participate in your movie”]

When the audience heard his words, their eyes widened.

So you are this kind of Samuel?!
This person is of the same character as Li Pei. After "Resident Evil" became a global hit, Samuel told everyone how sharp his vision was and how he liked the script of "Resident Evil" at first sight.

In his words, he and Cheng Cheng are good bros, and he is the angel investor of "Resident Evil". Without him, the box office of "Resident Evil" would be at least hundreds of millions of dollars less.

But they didn't expect that Samuel would say something like this as soon as he came in!

The audience instantly felt cheated by Samuel.
