Jaw-dropping fans couldn't believe the news!

Which great director doesn't look for roles among already famous movie actors? Which great director actually looks for roles among ordinary people?

Never heard of it!

Due to restrictions on box office, eyeballs, and trustworthiness, directors are always wary of fresh faces, and among the fresh faces, those who can become famous and remembered in one fell swoop are indeed too mediocre.

Only some small roles who have just embarked on the path of directing will choose some unknown actors due to financial pressure, but at the very least, they will choose among professional actors, right? How can anyone just hold an audition, and then in the end

The champion becomes the protagonist of a movie?

But having said that, Smith Zhou is also an extremely bold guy. He just filmed "The Spring of the Cowherd Class". Wasn't the leading actress the cleaning lady he randomly found in the film company building?

And he succeeded. Isabella's genius acting skills and performance make her a strong candidate for the Best Actress Oscar next year!

Which director can have such means? Who can do it casually with such courage?

Anyone who has the slightest dream of being an actor is excited. As the title says, you can reach the top in one step and directly break into the colorful film circle of Hollywood!

There are quite a few Americans who are full of the desire to perform!

The people whose curiosity was aroused then looked down, but it was a draft method that they had never imagined.

"Each city will have a designated bar. Zombie night themed activities will be held. Among the DJ's explosive dance music, the person who looks most like a zombie may become the protagonist in Smith's movie!"

Oh. My God, it’s so simple? Isn’t it just pretending to be a zombie? This is a reserved item for many people during Halloween!

Below is a long list of designated bars in various cities. Young people who are interested in getting that million dollars are all frantically looking for designated bars in their own cities.

These bars are all contacted by people from Lionsgate Films. They are all large bars in various cities that cater to ordinary young people in their twenties and can accommodate more than a thousand people. They are also quite famous and influential in the local area.

Many people are excited to try their luck. But more people are just out of curiosity. Anyway, bar parties are an indispensable element in daily life, so wouldn’t it be more fun to go see this zombie night in your free time?

All the party-loving young people in the United States have fallen into the hands of Zhou Shaoming and cannot extricate themselves.

Therefore, young people across the United States are either in the bars designated by Smith Weekly or on their way to the designated bars!

Before the people of the United States received this shocking news, the top executives of major television stations in the United States felt the astonishment of an eight-magnitude earthquake in advance!

"What? Smith is going to live broadcast the drama of choosing the leading actor on TV? **, this is really a crazy and interesting idea!"

"Auditions? What kind of show is this? Why is Smith Weekly always so unexpected? However, I think this is a good idea!"

"Is this a good idea? This idea is like a hen that can lay golden eggs! Hurry. Send someone to contact Smith Zhou. Our TV station must win the right to broadcast this draft!"

"How did you come up with this brilliant idea? A salary of 1 million US dollars and starring in a super blockbuster movie. This gimmick is enough to make most Americans lose their minds! Without further ado, let's prepare quickly to attend Smith Week

The bidding fair will be held! We want to be ahead of everyone else!”

Countless TV station owners, large and small, have keenly noticed what this idea will bring to their TV stations. It is a rare opportunity in a thousand years to expand, and it is an excellent move to break the current TV landscape!

Small companies are eager to take advantage of Smith Weekly's current popularity, which has rocked the United States, and this novel program that is bound to explode the television set, to re-divide the share of the huge cake of television. Therefore, they are extremely excited to obtain the broadcasting rights.

Almost suffocating.

The bosses of small companies are not stupid, but the bosses of large companies are even more shrewd. They do not want their monopoly position to be broken, and they also feel the appeal of this program to ordinary audiences, so they attach great importance to it and will not leave any chance to other companies.

No matter who the final winner is, Zhou Shaoming will definitely make a lot of money. No one can deny this.

It was June 20, 2000. Australian Murdoch, the super boss behind Fox Broadcasting Company in the United States, and his recently married Chinese wife Wendi Deng were interpreting a newspaper interview about Zhou Shaoming.

Wendi Deng was full of curiosity about Zhou Shaoming, who had the same skin as herself and was also Chinese. After carefully reading the interviews and filming highlights of his two movies, Wendi was full of admiration.

Everyone knows how difficult it is to start from scratch, and the primitive accumulation of capital is the longest and most painful, especially in Hollywood, where white directors have the right to speak.

But Zhou Shaoming succeeded. With his perseverance and hard work, he changed many Americans' prejudices against the Chinese.

Persistence, hard work, a hundred times of hard work and unique intelligence will one day stand out from obscurity. This is how Americans view Zhou Shaoming.

"This is a great person. At the same time, the reality show and star audition he proposed is also a great idea!" Wendi Deng smiled and pointed to the photo in the newspaper. Her high-spirited eyes were full of wisdom and confidence.

, Zhou Shaoming, with raised corners of his mouth, said to his husband Murdoch.

"Well, his idea is very good. I think this thing can really attract the attention of teenagers in the United States and even the world. These audiences need new and excellent idols, and they also need idols to be born around them, so that they know that miracles will happen at any time.

Anywhere, or it happened directly to me." Murdoch nodded, and began to imagine in his mind how many benefits it would bring to his own television station if he held this talent show.

"Why don't you buy this reality talent show and see how it works?" Wendi Deng thought for a while and put forward her own suggestion.

"That's what I meant. I think our intuitions are not bad. What is most likely to happen is whether we will earn more or less." Murdoch smiled and picked up the phone.

The next day was the bidding meeting carefully prepared by Zhou Shaoming. All the slightly influential TV stations in the United States were invited, and it was held in the five-star Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills in a conference room that could accommodate 500 people.

At this time, Zhou Shaoming sat calmly in his seat, drafting in his mind, thinking carefully about how he would impress the shrewd TV station general managers, which was related to his movie and his plan to influence the United States.

Contrary to Zhou Shaoming's busy schedule, all the general managers of the TV station and even the boss behind the scenes appeared directly. One luxury car after another came to the venue like a cloud. Although they maintained a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, there were countless people behind them. of intrigue.

"Leslie! My old friend, are you here in person?" Thomas, the CEO of ABC TV station, put on a smile from afar, opened his arms and hugged the man of medium height who was coming towards him, and kissed him affectionately. Cheeks and pat each other on the back in a friendly manner.

"Haha, ABC's chief operating officer is here, how can CBS lag behind?" Leslie is the president of CBS. Although it is a close competitor with ABC TV station, they almost compete with each other in terms of ratings. The blood is broken, but on the surface, they still maintain a good personal relationship that seems to outsiders.

"CBS's "Survivor" is currently on the air, why do you still want to win Smith's "Lord of the Dead"?" Thomas asked with a smile.

"Oh, these are two types of programs, don't get them confused. "Survivor" is a sports competition type, while "Lord of the Dead" is a stage talent show. When the audience segmentation becomes more and more obvious, anyone with imagination All the programs are worthy of recognition. What’s more, this time we have the trump card of a current-level director to support us!” Leslie touched her nose and smiled slightly.

"Haha, let me tell you some good news. The current-level director Smith Zhou has great ambitions and a large investment. It is initially estimated that those small TV stations cannot afford it." Thomas said with a smile, and at the same time he frowned and his eyes drifted to the side. : "There is also bad news, that is, not only you and I are interested in Smith Zhou's idea, but at the same time, Fox Broadcasting Company, NBC TV Station and HBO TV Station are all interested in his current fame and appeal. It seems that we want to If you want to return home satisfied, you have to pay a price."

Leslie followed his eyes and looked over. On the other side was another group of people talking and laughing loudly. Among them was Fox CEO Moonves. At this time, the eyes on the other side also drifted over and collided with them. It was as if they were electrocuted. After putting on polite smiles, they drifted away.

"This news is really bad." Leslie looked away and said with a wry smile.

"I really can't believe how this 23-year-old director can be so bold. The two films were huge successes. "Springtime of the Cowherd" has already made my wife run out to join the choir every night. Smith Week's third film Movies followed one after another. This time, does he want my son to watch the TV all day long and dream of being a star?" Thomas sighed, feeling a little confused.

"Let's go into the venue and see how this phenomenal director can turn things around." Leslie calmed down and walked into the venue first.

He knew that Smith Zhou, who was full of forward-looking ideas and ideas, was going to play tricks on the owners and general managers of the national television stations again this time.

The time for bidding was coming. Thomas and Leslie were sitting in the front row, watching the entire venue being packed to capacity. More than 800 people crowded into the conference room of 500 people, so crowded that there was not even enough room for one seat. No more.

The discussion in the entire venue was like countless flies flying around. It was not until Zhou Shaoming, with a smile on his face and calm eyes, slowly walked onto the podium that he became quiet.

The entire venue was silent...)
