Chapter 254 Unexpected Actor Candidate

In fact, Chen Xi has basically been violating some unspoken rules in several recent movies, such as saying not to meet actors in private...

But the boundaries of these things are actually rather blurred, and what Chen Xi is doing is relatively less annoying things.

In the matter of Liu Yifei, there are not many such things, because now Liu Yifei's de facto agent, also her mother Liu Xiaoli, has arrived at the scene.

Two celebrities in one family is also one of the characteristics of this family. Both the mother and daughter look good. Of course, for Chen Xi, he doesn't feel too much about these now.

In fact, from the perspective of Liu Xiaoli and even Liu Yifei, Chen Xi, a director, has risen very quickly. If there is any problem, it is some enmity between him and Zhuang Guofei and others...

These things are neither big nor small.

However, those who can really see the general trend now basically know that with the diversification of film capital, as the Chinese market is getting higher and higher, and the fan economy is initially rising in some places, it will also make everyone Everyone can see clearly that the future is no longer the era when traditional Chinese directors control the market, and the future belongs to directors like Chen Xi.

So now this matter should not be too difficult to talk about.

"Mr. Chen, hello."

"Hello, Teacher Chen." The two shook hands with Chen Xi respectively.

In Chen Xi's heart, she felt very helpless about the title of Chen Laoshi...

"You don't have to be so polite." Chen Xi said, "Just call me Director Chen."

Liu Yifei wanted to laugh, but she didn't have the nerve to laugh—fuck me, is Director Chen's name much more impolite than Chen Laoshi?
"Let's get straight to the point." Chen Xi said: "We have communicated before, I hope you can participate in the shooting of my new movie, you are the number one heroine."

In fact, Chen Xi has considered many similar things during this time. In fact, his mentality should not have been that of a dick director. It might not be that the four major female stars are begging him, but at least there is no need for Chen Xi to beg them... because Chen Xi is now the box office champion of domestic films, and he already has a total box office of nearly one billion.

These are real hardware, super hardware.

So for many things, it’s good to get straight to the point, and show some things simply and rudely.

Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei looked at each other, they were a little surprised by Chen Xi's directness.

To be honest, they originally thought that Chen Xi would go around for a long time before expressing their request, but they didn't expect this guy to come directly.

After thinking about it, Liu Xiaoli said, "Director Chen, what kind of scenes are involved in this movie?"

Chen Xi knew that this should be asking about the scale of the movie.

Chen Xi said: "There is a kiss scene, very short, a few seconds."

This kiss scene is actually quite short, just scratching the surface, because it is at the end, but this scene is also very important, the whole movie should be frozen here to form a beautiful picture...

That's why Chen Xi said that now.

Since Chen Xi said so, it is impossible for him as a director to lie, so Liu Yifei's mother and daughter are not particularly concerned about this. After all, actors are not themselves when they perform, and all their actions are just performances.

In fact, if we really talk about professionalism, even if it is AV or even gay movies, it is the same reason for some straight men to shoot gay movies, because these are actors, just performing.

This scale is obviously fine.

"Who is the leading actor?"

Chen Xi said: "It's not decided yet, but this is a commercial film, we will be more cautious in choosing actors." Chen Xi said.

Both Liu Xiaoli and her daughter fell into hesitation... At this time, Liu Yifei said to Chen Xi: "Director Chen, can I read the script?"

Chen Xi felt a bit pained when he heard this, because he almost forgot about it.

In the past, if Chen Xi wanted to attract actors, he basically needed to use a relatively good script to attract them, but now he is really different from before. With this kind of hardware, Chen Xi directly used his own fame to attract actors. Attractive... And there is another problem, that is, in Chen Xi's impression, Liu Yifei has basically never made any movies with a good reputation. This kind of concept has seriously affected some of Chen Xi's stereotyped thinking, making him feel that Liu Yifei No need to read the script.

This kind of thinking is a bit unreasonable, but it is indeed a bit of a problem to change something after it is formed.

Fortunately, Chen Xi's script is also with him. It's not that Chen Xi has thought about it in advance, but that his assistant has already prepared it in his file bag, which makes Chen Xi able to write some things directly. take it out.

Chen Xi gave two copies of the script with one-third to these two people respectively.

One-third of the script is still very reasonable. For a script of this level, the main reason is that there is no need to disclose all the plot to the actors to reduce some risks, but one-third of the script is usually a turning point. , This will also allow the actors to grasp the level of the book and so on.

After receiving the notebook, after reading these, Liu Yifei directly raised her head and said, "Okay! Director Chen, I agree!"

Liu Xiaoli glanced at her but didn't say anything. Anyway, in front of outsiders, it is impossible to dismantle the opponent's platform. However, Liu Yifei's liking for this script is still very easy to show. Of course, there is also a reason for Chen Xijia. The reason for the score: Every movie he has shot before has no problem in the plot, and the score in China is particularly good.

Therefore, Chen Xi's goal has been completed today, and the next step is to negotiate the details. At this point, Chen Xi only needs to explain some details, so that other people can talk about it in detail.

Sure enough, in the next time, Chen Xi can leave many things to other people to do.

On the side of Liu Yifei and his wife, there are still many requirements, a separate makeup car, a separate lounge... These things must be done.

But in this way, Chen Xi and the others will need to pay more for it. Of course, compared to the total investment of the whole movie, although this investment is not negligible, it is indeed not too much. many.

However, the next male actor became a big problem. Chen Xi approached Ye Dongnan, and Chen Xi and the casting director Wu Hanchuan, who had used it a few times and had a tacit understanding, came to chat. They had all seen the script. I also know what it feels like to be here.

The acting skills of the new generation of Chinese actors are really too few, too few. If you ask for another appearance or something, you will be brushed off a lot...

So Chen Xi and the others went through a new round of various chats, and found that overall, they still didn't chat much.

Suddenly, Ye Dongnan looked at Chen Xi with a bit of viciousness in his eyes, and he looked up and down.

"Hey, what are you doing... I don't like men, you have no chance..." Chen Xi said, being a little scared.

Ye Dongnan: "Get out... Don't you say that homosexuality is more attractive than heterosexuality? How could I find you."

Chen Xi: "Then what are you watching?"

Ye Dongnan rubbed his chin and said, "Director Chen, Chen Laoshi, haven't you thought about acting yourself? Anyway, in the film "Source Code", you don't have to look for Liang Chaowei and others for acting skills."

Of course Chen Xi knew that he was joking, so she said along the way: "No, my face is not suitable for acting in movies."

But when Chen Xi said these words, he found that there was one more person who was obsessed with him, Wu Hanchuan, who was also sizing up Chen Xi now.

Hearing what Chen Xi said, Wu Hanchuan also blurted out a sentence: "Why is it not suitable?"

Chen Xi was still joking: "After all, he is so handsome that everyone will ignore the plot of the movie and just watch me."

Wu Hanchuan shook his head, "No...just right."

Chen Xi and Ye Dongnan looked at each other, Chen Xi was a little strange, because Wu Hanchuan usually likes to joke, why is he so confused tonight?
But he found that Ye Dongnan was still looking at him.

"Hey, what's going on with you two?" Chen Xi helplessly spread her hands.

Wu Hanchuan stopped circling around Chen Xi, and said, "Director Chen, I really think that you can act by yourself. I was really under the lights before, and I didn't realize that you are so suitable. Director Chen, no, let's try the play tomorrow. I think you can do it!"

Chen Xi smiled and waved her hands: "Stop joking, let's talk for real."

Wu Hanchuan: "What I said is true!"

Ye Dongnan: "I also think it's really possible."

Chen Xi feels that these two people are not joking...

As if they meant it...

Now, including Chen Xi himself, he is also examining himself. His looks are indeed fine. As for acting...

In fact, Chen Xi has also studied acting. After all, art schools are often like that. Acting is the broadest. Students in the Department of Acting have to study, but students in the Department of Directing also have to study, and those in drama and writing...

Chen Xi did pretty well in the acting class at the time, and he also had Chen Xi's experience... In addition, in fact, when every director gives a play, it is more or less a kind of training for himself.

Now, including Chen Xi, do you think it's really worth a try?Otherwise, it would be a real loss for someone else to cultivate a male star with worldwide influence for free.

Chen Xi wanted to play hard to get and said, "Really try?"

Both Wu Hanchuan and Ye Dongnan saw the trick that Chen Xi wanted to try but were embarrassed, so they put on a straight face: "We were just joking."

Chen Xi's face darkened: "Tomorrow morning, Old Wu, I'll go to your place for an audition!" After making this decision, Chen Xi also made some preparations. In fact, if he came to be the leading role himself, he would indeed have an advantage, because He is the one who knows the story best now.
