This director is vindictive.

Chapter 56 Wang Xiaojian and Wang Kai
Wang Kai's life is actually quite sad.

It’s not that there are no roles to take. Wang Kai’s experience is quite legendary.

He initially took over his father's job at Xinhua Bookstore, and was a regular employee.

Later, he went to Beijing to shoot a commercial. The director asked him whether he was from the Central Academy of Drama or the Beijing Film Academy. He actually quit his stable job without telling his parents, and went to attend a training class. Later, he was actually admitted to the Central Academy of Drama.

What really turned his career around was starring in the drama "Ugly Betty". In this drama, he played the role of Chen Jiaming, which made him famous.

But this role was both his success and his failure. Because of this role, his parents once thought he was a gay.

In those days, which family could accept this?

But because his acting was so outstanding, most of the acting offers he received were for similar roles.

This made him very distressed, so he rejected them all and was determined to change his screen image.

He just received a call from his agent saying that up-and-coming director Chen Mo wanted him to play the leading role in his new film. He was extremely excited.

You know, "Ugly Betty" is his most impressive work at the moment, but it's just a TV series, and he played a supporting role, although it was quite popular.

As for movies, although it’s not that no one is looking for them, they are basically not very reliable.

Of course Chen Mo knew this. After all, he had auditioned for "Let's Watch Meteors Together" but was rejected.

So he can be said to be deeply impressed by Chen Mo. After all, Chen Mo was the one who had the greatest hope of winning the third male role. But what happened later, it can be said that Wang Kai really admired Chen Mo.

Although Chen Mo does not seem to be a big director, his movie "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together" won the first place in the national ratings in the same period. He also pioneered online movies, and his first online movie "Mr. Zombie" was extremely popular.

Therefore, Chen Mo’s movie must be an extremely high-quality project. He really didn’t expect that this pie would fall on his head.

"Is it an online movie?" Wang Kai asked his agent Xu Ye.

"No, it's a theater movie! It's adapted from the online novel "Love Is Not Blind"! But..." Agent Xu Ye was a little hesitant.

"But what's wrong? Are there other competitors?" Wang Kai asked curiously.

Xu Ye looked at Wang Kai and took out a book, which was "Love Is Not Blind".

"Take a look for yourself!" Xu Ye said as he handed it to Wang Kai.

Wang Kai took it curiously, but after looking at it for a while, he was dumbfounded.

"Understand?" Xu Ye asked as he watched the changing expression on Wang Kai's face.

"I understand, Brother Xu, I..." Wang Kai refused immediately.

There was no way, he really didn't want to continue playing such a sissy role, even if he was the male lead in a movie.

Because during this period of time, he was almost depressed.

"Listen to me first. This is the male lead, and the male lead in the movie. You have read the novel, and the director is Chen Mo. A new director like him must have a lot of people wanting to star in this project. To be honest, if it weren't for your role in "Ugly Betty", it might not even be your turn. Since you want to be an actor, you can't be too picky. You are not yet at the level where you can choose roles at will." Xu Ye said earnestly.

What Xu Ye said was true. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Jiaming and Wang Kai in "Ugly Wudi" performed very well, Chen Mo might not have thought of letting him play the role of Wang Xiaojian.

Chen Mo was actually also considering who would play the role if Wang Kai refused.
There aren't many people in the Chinese entertainment industry these days who could play the role of Wang Xiaojian, or rather, not many with that kind of acting experience. Feng Yuanzheng? He's just too old, otherwise he could have nailed that performance.

Ye Zuxin? Chen Mo remembered that he seemed to have a good performance in a drama called "Step by Step" this year. At that time, his graceful figure and charming expression made many girls feel inferior.

It can be used as an alternative.

But the first choice is still Wang Kai. Although Chen Mo doesn’t like coats of arms, to be honest, his performance in "Love Is Not Blind" was indeed amazing.

Wang Kai's role as Chen Jiaming in "Ugly Betty" is actually similar to Wang Xiaojian.

Of course there is also Su Youpeng. His role as Bai Xiaonian in "The Whistleblower" was indeed very outstanding, but the two are actually completely different roles.

However, the good news came quickly, and Wang Kai agreed.

But Chen Mo still has to meet him first. After all, the difficulty of playing the role of Wang Xiaojian well is completely different from Wang Kai's role as Chen Jiaming in "Ugly Betty".

The latter is just a TV series. Even if your body resists and you don't want to act, you can still get through it.

But the movie won’t work. Chen Mo needs Wang Kai to really want to act, not force himself to act because the opportunity is too good to miss.

A forced melon is not sweet, and the same is true for movies. Not only is it not sweet, it also does not quench your thirst.

When he saw Wang Kai, Chen Mo's first question was: "You're not forcing me, are you? I want to hear the truth!"

Wang Kai didn't expect that Chen Mo's first question would be this.

"Director Chen, I'm sorry. To be honest, I really don't particularly like playing this kind of role. I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble."

Chen Mo sighed and said, "Okay, I need someone who can calm down and think about how to play this role well, rather than forcing himself to act, because that won't work. I believe you understand this."

"I'm sorry, Director Chen, I..." Wang Kai really felt a little guilty. He was persuaded by his agent to agree, but he was still resisting in his heart.

"I'm very curious, why? Are you afraid that your screen image will be solidified, or that it will be influenced by outside opinions? Or are you simply particularly resistant to it?" Chen Mo interrupted him and asked.

"There are some of them!" Wang Kai said after thinking for a while.

"Forget it. I'm not really good at persuading people. You're a student of the Central Academy of Drama. Go find your teacher. I believe she can help you solve your doubts." Chen Mo thought about it and decided not to persuade him. Instead, he let him go find his teacher himself.

He's really not good at persuasion.

If he really can't turn the situation around, he will have no choice but to replace the player.

At worst, you can cast a wider net to catch more fish and find a few more people to give it a try.

Chen Mo didn't know how Wang Kai's teacher persuaded him. Anyway, the next day, when Wang Kai appeared in front of him again, he was almost scared.

"Are you okay?" Chen Mo looked at Wang Kai's outfit and the orchid finger in his hand, and felt a little scared.

It’s not that he has never seen this kind of “sissy”, it’s just that they just met yesterday. At that time, Wang Kai expressed that he was quite resistant to this kind of “sissy” role. It has not been long since then, and he actually appeared in the posture of a “sissy”. The change was too fast, which made Chen Mo feel that this person in front of him who was wearing a floral shirt, pink-rimmed glasses, pinching his orchid fingers, and was extremely charming, was he schizophrenic?
