China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 4 Invitation

With 30W.

Wang Shu went to the mall and bought a Nokia 3650, replacing the third-hand phone that had been with him for the past two years and all the buttons were broken.

This star model was launched in February last year, and has been available for more than a year this year. It sells for 2, and the price is still affordable.

By June 6, another alternative 18 will be launched in China.

After spending 30, there is still 3000 left. With this little money, Wang Shu has no intention of diving into the Internet and singing the song of conquest.

He is self-aware and will first get involved in the circuit he is familiar with before venturing into other fields depending on the situation.

then.

He went to buy another outfit.

As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. After changing his clothes, his temperament suddenly changed.

After switching from shotgun to cannon, he immediately submitted the script to the State Administration of Film and Television for review.

Only after the script has been reviewed can the filming permit be obtained.

Cai Xin doesn’t like it, right?
  He took the photos himself!

Without connections or connections, I couldn’t ask anyone to take care of me, so I could only wait patiently.

After waiting for two days, I still didn’t see the review results, and my initial enthusiasm was dampened again.

After waiting for another two days, he couldn't wait any longer and took a bus to the door of Huayi, intending to get Zhang Hanyu's contact information and invite him to be the leading actor.

Wang Shu was originally intended to be Wang Qianyuan, but he has already starred in many roles. This year, he co-starred with Lin Yilun and Hai Qing in the romantic comedy "Men and Women Go Forward".

There is already a coffee spot, and it is not something that a little-known cat or dog like him can easily invite.

But Zhang Hanyu is different. He only started to appear in his first TV work in 99, and played a small supporting role in "Where Dreams Begin".

Before that, I was doing dubbing.

At the turn of the millennium, he played a supporting role in "Endless" directed by Xiaogangpao, which was also his first film work.

In 02, he continued to play a small supporting role in "Big Bowl" directed by Feng Xiaogang.

In 04, he once again played a supporting role in "A World Without Thieves" directed by Feng Xiaogang.

Born in 63, he is now in his early forties, and his acting career has just begun.

In 07, he will star in "Assembly" directed by Feng Xiaogang, for which he won Baihua, Golden Horse Best Actor, Huabiao Outstanding Actor and other awards.

to be frank.

For a "newcomer" who has just started his acting career, Wang Shu does not have high expectations for Zhang Hanyu's acting skills.

However, for a while, he couldn't find this kind of actor who had been in the industry for many years and had some connections, and who was also a newcomer and had a reasonable price-performance ratio.

He only played some supporting roles. Not only was the salary not high for him at this time, Zhang Hanyu would most likely not miss the opportunity.

Even if the director is an 18-year-old junior high school graduate with no academic background, Zhang Hanyu would not be unable to accept it.

Most likely, going both ways.

Of course, Wang Shu would definitely not tell the truth about his own information.

After struggling for a long time in Huayi, he finally got Zhang Hanyu's contact information. Wang Shu took out his newly purchased Nokia 3650 mobile phone and dialed the number.

I have to say that if he hadn't changed his outfit and showed off his English, he wouldn't have been able to get contact information so easily.

"Hello, who's there?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the other side.

Wang Shu said seriously into the mobile phone: "Hello Mr. Zhang, I am an international student at the University of Southern California. I plan to shoot a film in China to compete for next year's Berlin Film Festival awards. I would like to invite you to be the male lead. main character."

Southern California?
  United States?

Hearing that the other party was from the University of Southern California and was going to make a film to compete for awards at the Berlin Film Festival, Zhang Hanyu was suspicious at first, and then felt that he was overthinking it.

He is a little-known actor, what can he do to attract scammers?

As a graduate of the Beijing Academy of Drama, he clearly knows that the University of Southern California is the number one higher art institution in the United States.

If the other party is really a student at the University of Southern California, then...
  Not to be underestimated. This era is very beautiful. When I heard that I came from the United States, I was automatically in the third grade of high school, and then I heard that I was from the University of Southern California, and then I was in the third grade of high school.

Although Zhang Hanyu has lived in a compound since she was a child, beauty is the trend of this era, and it will start to change in the next ten years.

"Hello, hello." Zhang Hanyu replied quickly and politely, even though he could hear a young voice on the other end of the phone.

"I couldn't tell you clearly on the phone, why don't we make an appointment to meet?" Wang Shu said.

"Okay." Zhang Hanyu thought for a while and replied. There was nothing to do at the moment anyway, so there was nothing to lose when we met.

如果
  Is the other person really a student at the University of Southern California, and does he really want to invite him to star in the movie?
  What's more, the other party dares to take the lead in inviting a meeting to discuss in detail. If he is a liar, how can he dare to do this?
  A certain coffee shop.

Wang Shu and Zhang Hanyu made an appointment to meet.

Zhang Hanyu looked at the confident young man in front of him, listened to the other person's talk about American Hollywood industrial production, and then no longer doubted his identity.

Who the hell would be bored pretending to be a student at the University of Southern California to film with him these days?

Especially when the other party is so knowledgeable.

"This is the script, please read it first." Wang Shu calmly took out the prepared script. Even if he acted like he had returned from studying in the United States, he still had to look at the quality of the script if he wanted to impress the other party.

""Buried Alive."" Zhang Hanyu took a look at the title of the script, and then continued reading.

As he went deeper, he felt that his eyes were opened.

A person was buried in a coffin, with only a mobile phone and a flashlight beside him, trying to find a way to escape in such a severe environment.

The angle of this script
  What a surprise!
  Moreover, he is still the male protagonist!

Zhang Hanyu was surprised.

The perspective of looking at the script alone is completely different from that of domestic award-winning films.

Domestic award-winning films either depict reality or reflect suffering, and they keep praising the difficult times of the last century.

If this continues, the sheep will be bald.

"I accepted this script, but I have to talk to my agent about signing the contract." Zhang Hanyu decisively accepted it. Such a good male protagonist script is rare in ten years, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity.

He knows in his heart that this kind of script may not be loved by the three major film festivals. What will be loved is probably the wool pulled from the sheep in China.

But, this is a male protagonist script.

If he can go to the three major film festivals, even if he doesn't get an award, it will be of great help to his career.

"Okay." Wang Shu nodded.

Zhang Hanyu is Huayi's artist, and the financial contract is in Huayi's hands. You have to talk to his agent about signing the contract.

"I submitted the script for review the day before yesterday. Although it hasn't been reviewed yet, it should be soon." Wang Shu continued.

"Now we have only confirmed you as the protagonist, and the other supporting roles have not yet been determined."

Zhang Hanyu was very polite and answered the question at the right time: "Do you need my help in arranging supporting roles?"

Thinking that Wang Shu was an international student from the University of Southern California and might not be familiar with the domestic entertainment industry, Zhang Hanyu decided to take the initiative to help.

He can't wait to star in it.

"That's a good relationship." A smile appeared on Wang Shu's face. After saying so much, this was what he was waiting for.

Afterwards, Zhang Hanyu contacted his agent to come over and sign a contract with Wang Shu.

After confirming that Wang Shu had registered the copyright of the script and had sent the script to the Film and Television Bureau for review, and then hearing that Wang Shu was an international student from the University of Southern California, he agreed to sign the contract without any objection.

Although our artists are quite old, they are only "newcomers" who have only been in the entertainment industry for a few years, and have only played a handful of small roles in total.

It is a great thing to be spotted by international students from the University of Southern California who have returned to China to shoot award-winning films.

Then, a friendly price was given in terms of remuneration.

2W.

In fact, Zhang Hanyu's agent was not very optimistic about Wang Shu's script. Just because she saw that this script might be able to hone her acting skills, she had no objection to Zhang Hanyu's participation.
