Rebirth: Entertainment from the Breakup

Chapter 342 Preparing for the Interview
And the most important thing about this movie is actually the actors!

After the success of "Lost in Thailand" in the previous life, Director Xu released the third "Lost in Hong Kong".

As a result, the box office was mediocre, and the reputation was mediocre. One of the most important reasons was that he replaced Wang Baoqiang with Bao Beier.

This is not to say that the actor Bao Beier's acting skills are not good, on the contrary, whether it is "Big Shot" or "Familiar Stranger", Bao Beier's acting skills are very good.

But he is incomparable with Wang Baoqiang!

In these two movies, the roles they played were actually troublemakers, which is a relatively difficult role.

Because as long as you are human, you hate trouble, and it is difficult to have a good impression of this kind of troublemaker. To put it simply, this kind of role is not pleasing!
And when Wang Baoqiang plays this kind of role, his troubles will make the audience feel funny, which is incomparable to Bao Beier.

The reason why Director Xu didn't use Wang Baoqiang is actually understandable.

After all, after watching "On the Journey" and "Lost in Thailand", the most impressive thing for the audience is actually the role of Wang Baoqiang.

And what Director Xu wants to do is to completely occupy the label of "囧", so that the audience will think of him when they think of the "囧" series!

Unload the mill and kill the donkey?Not exactly, but not too far off.

And director Xu is successful, he succeeded in getting to this point, but the follow-up series of "囧" is really hard to describe.

So Chu Qing began to choose actor profiles. In the entertainment industry, there are not many clowns, and there are only two people in the first and second tiers.

After Chu Qing made some selections, he finally selected six people.

He asked Song Dawei to contact these six people, and two of them made it clear that they had no schedule, they were filming in the crew now, and they didn't have time a few years ago.

Of course Chu Qing couldn't force anything on this, and the remaining four said they would consider it.

Chu Qing directly gave them an interview time, August [-]th!
Come if you can, pull if you can't.

We are all adults, time is precious!
However, I didn't know what the other party was thinking. When Chu Qing mentioned the interview time, the four of them agreed again!
Then, the role of Xu Lang had to be played by someone else, but Gao Bo was easy and could play it himself.

Anyway, it's a comedy popcorn movie, the chance of winning the award is slim, and it doesn't matter if the male lead is not the male lead.

In the industry, there are not many well-known bald male entertainers, and even fewer have acted in comedies.

There are only two people who have a schedule now, and Chu Qing sent them interview invitations at the same time.

Today's Chu Qing is completely different from before.

Before Chu Qing made a movie, he had to go to Hengdian, find group leaders, and give them red envelopes to get two good seedlings.

It's completely different now, one phone call out, and the actors have to be ready to come here for interviews.

This is one of the benefits of being a great director!

"Yibin, I just received an interview invitation from [Bright Entertainment], and the script for the character has already been sent. It's the male lead."

[Brilliant Entertainment] In the office, Ding Yibin's manager held a tablet and said with a smile to the middle-aged man who was exercising in front of him.

A treadmill was placed in front of the window not far away, and a bald middle-aged man was wearing a hurdle vest, sweating profusely on the treadmill.

Hearing what the manager said, the bald man slowed down the speed of the treadmill, and then adjusted his airway.

"Male lead? What type?"

"Lunar New Year comedy, this time Chu Qing will also star, the director is Han Jie"

As soon as the bald man became interested, he stopped the treadmill slowly, wiped his sweat and said, "It's interesting, I'll listen to you read a few lines from the script."

The agent read Xu Lang's script with a smile, and the bald head nodded after listening for a while, "That's right, it's interesting, what price does Bright Entertainment offer?"

"I haven't made an offer yet, but it shouldn't be too high. After all, people are in full swing now. If you don't act, there are still many people who will act! If others don't mention it, just talk about Meng Yu from [Oriental Entertainment]. He must have received this offer." script"

Ding Yibin nodded slowly, knowing that what his manager said was correct,
"Does the company have any plans for the second half of the year?"

The agent shrugged and said: "There are arrangements, but believe me, it is definitely not as good as this book! And you can also take the opportunity to get in touch with Chu Qing. He has been very popular in the past two years, and he is also good at training actors. I still recommend you take this play"

Ding Yibin hummed, stepped onto the treadmill again and said, "Then it's settled! I'll study the role in these two days, NO.15 I'll go to the interview!"

【Oriental Entertainment】

"Meng Yu, I highly recommend you to take this movie! This is the book of [Bright Entertainment]. You know, they rarely hire foreign actors. It is not easy to have such an interview opportunity now."

Meng Yu is also a big bald head. He was born in comedy and even went to the Spring Festival Gala. He was very popular back then.

Unfortunately, because of the failure of the transformation, his acting career began to decline.

Although he has been approached for some movies in the past two years, most of them are bad movies.

And the more bad movies he makes, the worse his reputation will be, forming a closed loop.

Meng Yu looked at the script after listening, and couldn't help frowning: "A comedy?"

The agent nodded and said: "Yes, although this is a comedy, but who is the producer? It's [Bright Entertainment], which has been in the limelight recently!"

Meng Yu shook his head and said: "I don't care who is the producer, I can't make comedies! You should know that the changes I have made over the years are because I don't want to be labeled as a comedian. If I go to make comedies now , Isn’t all these years of hard work in vain?”

After hearing this, the manager's expression was a little complicated, as if hesitating to speak.

Seeing this, Meng Yu said: "Brother Zhang, if you have something to say, just say it. We have been friends for many years, so we don't need to talk around the corner."

After hearing this, the agent sighed and said, "Meng Yu, have you ever thought that the path of comedy is actually the most suitable for you?"

Meng Yu shook his head directly and said, "No! I'm also a man. I don't want the audience to laugh when they see me every time I attend an event!"

The manager sighed inwardly, and laughed when he saw you?That's better than no one watching you!
But he couldn't say this outside, otherwise he was afraid of hurting Meng Yu's self-esteem.

He can only sigh in his heart, just wait until this movie becomes popular and you don't regret it!

Don't even think about it, of all the movies Chu Qing made since his debut, how could any of them lose money on the street?Either applause, or a blockbuster, or applause and blockbuster!

The time soon came to August [-]th. Chu Qing, Song Dawei, and Han Jie formed the interview judging panel, waiting for the actors to be interviewed.

The actors also came very early. Since they all came for the interview, they must come early to make a good impression on the director and the others.
