Chapter 239: The ideal actor, rejected
Zhang Hanyu gave Zhang Xiao a thumbs up and praised: "This script is very well written."
"Then why are you hesitating? Is it because of my relationship with Director Chen?" Zhang Xiao asked curiously.
Zhang Hanyu nodded noncommittally and said, "Yes, Director Chen called me."
Zhang Xiao was immediately amused by his words and said: "Then what do you think of Director Chen's approach?"
"Not very good!" Zhang Hanyu was silent for a moment, then added: "But he is kind to me."
Zhang Xiao nodded, he knew this, and then said: "It's true that he is kind to you, but does this have anything to do with whether you will appear in my movie or not?"
"Brother Zhang, the role of Wu Zhiguo is still very charming. As an actor, if you refuse to play this role because of Director Chen's petty ambition, then I think it would be a great pity."
"By the way, I heard that Director Chen has been preparing to shoot a movie "The Night Banquet", right? If he asks you to be the leading actor, then just pretend that I haven't been here today."
Zhang Hanyu smiled bitterly and said: "The male protagonist of "The Night Banquet" has been decided, and he is the famous teacher Ge You."
After speaking, he looked at Zhang Xiao and said, "Mr. Zhang, can you let me think about it carefully?"
"Is three days enough?" Zhang Xiao asked bluntly.
For such a matter, if it is delayed for too long, it will definitely not be a good thing. Even if Zhang Hanyu is suitable for this role, Zhang Xiao will not give too much time.
Zhang Hanyu nodded when he heard this and said: "That's enough, Mr. Zhang, I would like to ask, if I don't play the role, who are you going to find?"
Zhang Xiao leisurely picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said: "There are not many actors who can win this role, but there are many actors who can win the role of Takeda."
"If I really can't find a suitable one, then I will play the role of Wu Zhiguo myself. I am confident that I can win this role."
Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Zhang Hanyu was shocked and said nothing more.
Zhang Xiao's acting skills are obvious to all in the entertainment industry. It doesn't matter what kind of role he plays.
Soon after the two drank two more sips of tea, they left.
After Zhang Hanyu returned to the company, he told his manager Wang Meng about the matter that he and Zhang Xiao had discussed.
Wang Meng pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "Hanyu, Zhang Xiao is in the spotlight right now. The character and script are so good. If you don't take this role, I'm afraid you and Zhang Xiao will never have the chance to work together again in the future."
Zhang Hanyu said with some embarrassment: "But the problem is what to do about director Chen Gang. He called me specifically and was not allowed to take Zhang Xiao's scenes."
After Wang Meng heard this, his face became a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "What Chen Gang did is so unreasonable. He didn't let you take Zhang Xiao's role, but he didn't find you a similar resource. This
Isn’t it a typical case of killing but not burying?”
"In this case, I'll give him a call and see how he responds!"
After speaking, Wang Meng directly dialed Chen Gang's number.
Five minutes later, Wang Meng put down his phone with a bright smile on his face.
At this time, Zhang Hanyu hurriedly came over and asked, "What did Director Chen say?"
"He has found a big job for you. The partners are Liu Ye and Huang Bai, and the director is Guan Dao." Wang Meng said with excitement in his heart at this moment.
Zhang Hanyu's eyes lit up and he said, "When will you give me the script?"
"Right away!" Wang Meng replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Meng's cell phone buzzed. He picked it up and saw that it was the first half of the script that Chen Gang had sent him.
However, after Zhang Hanyu read the script, he frowned slightly and said: "Although this drama is not bad, there is still a big gap when compared with "The Wind"!"
Wang Meng was like a loser, trying to persuade him: "Hanyu, the script of "The Wind" is good, but its biggest problem is the actors and director!"
"The director is Zhang Xiao, an actor who has never personally directed any film and television works. The two heroines are Yang Mi and Reba. You should know very well how their acting skills are."
"With such a combination, no matter how classic the script is, I'm afraid it won't produce any good results."
"Director Chen Gang just said that "The Ruffian, Actor, Chef" will be released during the National Day period. I guess Zhang Xiao's "The Wind" will also be released at this time."
"Three movie kings vs two popular celebrities, who do you think has a better chance of winning?"
After listening to Wang Meng's analysis, Zhang Hanyu fell silent. After thinking about it carefully, he said: "Okay, then I will take on "The Ruffian, Actor and Cook", but it is best to have a perfect explanation and try not to offend Zhang Xiao.
"
Wang Meng showed a confident smile on his face and said: "This matter is simple, just tell Zhang Xiao that I signed the contract for this drama without you knowing. If something happens to Zhang Xiao,
I will definitely borrow Poxia's donkey."
"Okay!" Zhang Hanyu nodded and said, "Then I'll call him now."
···
After Zhang Xiao received Zhang Hanyu's call, although he knew that the other party was obviously talking nonsense, he didn't say anything more.
After all, the strong and twisted melons are not sweet, and Zhang Xiao has not yet reached the point where he needs to lick his face and beg for someone to act.
But if this happens, the "Wind" prepared by Zhang Xiao will have to re-cast actors.
Yang Mi looked at Zhang Xiao's expression, and asked with concern: "Husband, you look so bad, has something happened?"
Zhang Xiao smiled and shook his head and said: "Fortunately, Zhang Hanyu refused to play the role of Wu Zhiguo, so we need to find another actor."
"So do you have a goal?" Yang Mi asked.
Zhang Xiao said truthfully: "The role of Wu Zhiguo is very important to this drama. There are not many suitable actors, so I am planning to play the role myself. There are many suitable actors for the role of Takeda, and I can find another one."
"Takeda?" Yang Mi's heart moved when she heard this, and said: "Then I will recommend someone to you, who should be able to play Takeda."
"Who?" Zhang Xiao asked curiously.
Yang Mi smiled mysteriously and said: "Huang Xiaoming!"
"He?" Zhang Xiao frowned when he heard this, and asked with some disbelief: "Can he do it?"
Whether on earth or in this world, Huang Xiaoming's acting skills are a mystery.
When I was on Earth, my performance in the drama "Partners" was very good, and I won several Best Actor trophies in a row, but in other dramas, it was full of greasiness.
