Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 37 Wu Yanhuo

thought here.

Gu Ming stood up, opened the drawer on his desk that was specially used to store other people's business cards, and found one from a stack of business cards.

"You are the one!"

I got this business card on the plane while attending Cannes.

The business card says Li Xuejian.

That's right, Gu Ming is planning to find him to play Zhang Zili.

Li Xuejian was born in 54 and is 45 years old this year, which is just the right age.

As for acting, this guy has no problem, he acts like anything.

Jiao Yulu, and Feng Shi in "The World", in the previous life, I was really afraid that he would come out and punch himself after saying "No, go to hell!".

The evil feeling can also be compensated by a little makeup and acting skills.

Besides, he also played a lot of evil characters. I don’t know how many people watched Song Jiang and smashed their TV sets.

Another more critical reason is that this person has enough status in the circle and has worked with Gong Li before, and the cooperation was quite pleasant.

With him in the lead, the chances of winning awards at next year's Berlin International Film Festival will increase.

Just do it.

Gu Ming immediately dialed the number on the business card.

"Hello, Teacher Li, I'm Gu Ming."

"Director Gu, what's the matter?"

"No, no, no, just call me Xiao Gu." Gu Ming quickly rejected the title, and then said, "I just wanted to ask if you have any dates recently? If not, I want to find you as the leading actor in my new film. Tell me your address and I'll visit you."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Li Xuejian retorted to Gu Ming.

"One code equals another. I am older than you and entered the industry a little earlier."

"But a director is a director, and you don't have to accommodate me about the play. Otherwise, will your play still be what you want to express in the end?"

"I'll go to your company right now and read the script first."

"Okay, hang up!" After saying that, Li Xuejian hung up the phone directly.

When I called again, the other party picked up and said that he had already driven to Daystar in his car.

Got it!
It's all here.

Can you still ask the other party to go back?
Besides, the other party won’t listen to you!

Gu Ming came downstairs to wait for someone in Daystar.

The wait wasn't long.

Li Xuejian appeared.

To be honest, Gu Ming had just one thought when he saw him for the first time.

This is not the Li Xuejian I want.

His body shape is similar to that in the movie "Survival of the World", but he is a bit fat to play Zhang Zili, a middle-aged man who has failed to achieve anything in his family and career.

If I could be as thin as in "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", that would be just right.

But whether they act or not is another matter.

Gu Ming would not be so stupid as to directly tell you that you want to lose weight.

First, invite the other person to your office to read the script.

"Good book!"

Li Xuejian shared the script with an afterthought on his face.

"The subject matter is deep, and the male protagonist Zhang Zili also has room to play."

"but……"

"If you want me to play this role, you might have to give me a month first."

"Anything else?" Gu Ming asked.

"No." Li Xuejian shook his head and pointed at his face.

"Thinking about what happened to the male protagonist Zhang Zili, my body shape is not suitable. I need to be thinner."

"As long as you have the body type to play Qin Shihuang." The other party said so, and Gu Ming followed the words and stated his request.

"Ok!"

Li Xuejian nodded.

"I went to the police station to experience life while losing weight. I tried to lose [-] pounds in a month."

As he spoke, Li Xuejian smiled bitterly and shook his head.

His eyes were full of regret and regret.

"I was filming a movie with Li Youbin about us building the first atomic bomb." "Because the person who called me was so hasty that I didn't have time to lose weight, so I ended up with this body shape inside."

"You can't lose weight once the movie is filmed, or else you'll look fat and thin, and you won't be able to watch it."

"Sorry!"

"If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten so much and become so fat."

"So I hope you can give me a month. If I can't reduce it in one month, you can change it."

There is no way to accept this.

Gu Ming could only skip it directly.

"Then I'll go to Kanjing first. If you want to experience life in a police station, it's best to go to Harbin. We basically filmed this scene in Harbin."

"Okay, follow your arrangement!"

"Row!"

Gu Ming smiled and nodded, and then chatted with him about Zhang Zili.

We chatted for over an hour.

As they chatted until lunch was about to begin, Li Xuejian refused Gu Ming's invitation to eat and left voluntarily.

That afternoon, Gu Ming identified a few more memorable characters.

Zhang Zili’s ex-wife was Gu Changwei’s wife, Jiang Wenli.

Who told him that he didn't have time to be a photographer for himself because of "The Devil Is Coming".

If you can't use your husband, use your wife.

Jiang Wenli is not stunningly beautiful, and if she looks a bit uglier when the time comes, she won't overshadow her.

Gu Ming, who was killed by the living dead husband of the second male lead, Wu Zhizhen, found Liu Peiqi, who had previously participated in The House Gate.

They are all actors who have played in "The Mansion Gate".

In addition, Gu Ming is now quite famous, and everyone is willing to give him some face. Even if the role is not big, it is at best the third role, and it is still the third role that does not appear much. They both agreed to play.

As for the remaining roles, they were not too important. Except for the role of police chief promised to Han Sanpin, Gu Ming was given all to Li Xiaoping.

Let her find someone.

Just find them all within a month.

……

After all, it is Gu Ming's new film that has great appeal in both awards and box office.

the next day.

Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun, who were filming a TV series, received the news and called Gu Ming to ask if there were any suitable roles for them in the new movie.

Gu Ming said that his age was inappropriate.

The two immediately said, "I am also willing to play smaller supporting roles."

"You are willing to act, but I can't let you participate!"

"The appearance is a bit high, which doesn't fit in with my plan for this film."

"Shuaiji!"

Moreover, Zhou Xun, the heroine of "The Golden Family", has already been dragged away by him first, and the second male lead of "New Shanghai Beach" is going to be dragged away by him, and then the two male leads are also dragged away?
Also take a hammer!

The two TV series should be shut down immediately.

Zhou Xun was much more relaxed than Chen Kun and the others and went directly to Gu Ming's office.

I asked Gu Ming to write a script.

He just sat in the office and started reading.

After reading it, I looked like I was suddenly enlightened.

"It turns out to be such a daytime fireworks!"

"Why do I feel that the character I play should not be named Wu Zhizhen, but should be named Wu Yanhuo."

Zhou Xun laughed loudly as he spoke.

After being given a speechless roll by Gu Ming, he started to suppress a smile.

Then while holding back his laughter, he tremblingly took out a piece of chewing gum, peeled it off, stuffed it into his mouth, and explained with a smile, "I listen to you, quit smoking, but my mouth always feels empty, so I can only rely on this." ”

"Are the withdrawal symptoms obvious?"

"I always feel uncomfortable in my throat in the morning, but fortunately, I am young and recover quickly. The feeling is getting lighter and lighter."

"Well, protect your throat."

"Otherwise, some characters may look suitable, but their voices may not be suitable either." Zhou Xun's voice is really flawed.

"I understand, by the way, when are we going to Harbin?"
