Chapter 581 Am I Stupid?

A day passed and Deng Chao still heard no news about "The Night the Comet Came".

He was getting more and more anxious about the role change, and couldn't help but say to Sun Li: "Lili, do you think Director Wang will change the role?"

Sun Li was helpless and said unhappily: "I've already said that whether the role is changed or not, we can't influence it, just wait!"

“But I can’t feel at peace. I finally got the chance to act in Director Wang’s movie and I don’t want it to be snatched away by someone else.” Deng Chao said angrily.

When I say that I finally have the opportunity to act, I am referring to an important role; previous guest roles do not count.

He had a trauma from this because his role had been snatched away from him.

It’s not that he was worried, but he really had his role snatched away.

They even snatch up roles in a TV series, let alone roles in movies directed by Oscar-winning directors like Wang Shu.

His worries and uneasiness were not without reason.

Seeing that Sun Li didn't say anything, she couldn't help but say, "Lili, why don't you give Director Wang a call and ask about the situation?"

Hearing this, Sun Li became more and more impatient and asked angrily, "Why don't you fight?"

"Hehe." Deng Chao said playfully, "Aren't you more familiar with Director Wang?"

Sun Li didn't buy it and snorted, "If you want to ask, ask. I won't ask."

Deng Chao's face froze when he heard this, and he said quietly, "Aren't you worried that your role will be snatched away?"

Sun Li wanted to continue to reply with "Didn't I just say that whether the role is changed or not, it has no influence on it, and we can only wait?", but suddenly realized that she had been too calm, and then pretended to be conflicted.

After a while, he said, "We just talked to Director Wang yesterday. Is it not a good idea to ask Director Wang these questions this morning?"

When Deng Chao heard this, he also thought it made sense.

So he said, "How about you ask in the afternoon?"

"." Sun Li was speechless and could only respond, "Let's see in the afternoon."

When Deng Chao heard Sun Li's agreement, he didn't want to force it any further and said nothing more.

Wang Shu was drinking coffee with Chen Xu at this moment.

He doesn't like coffee, so this is a place to meet.

Chen Hao was obviously dressed up, not only with exquisite makeup, but also with eye-catching clothes.

Wang Shu was sweet-mouthed and praised, "It's really beautiful."

Many times, there is no need to be too fussy when praising someone; just be simple and plain.

Being pedantic can often backfire.

Because we are all vulgar people without much cultural accomplishment, nitpicking is more about showing off rather than praising others.

When Chen Hao heard this, he was happy in his heart, but he rolled his eyes at Wang Shu.

In fact, this rolling of eyes is to cover up the shyness after being praised.

For some reason, Chen Hao replied with a hint of jealousy: "Why? There are so many beauties in the circle, aren't they enough for you to see?"

"Haha." Wang Shu was delighted when he heard this and said, "Everyone loves beauty. No matter how many beauties there are in the circle, they can't cover up the fact that Sister Xuan is a great beauty."

These words satisfied Chen Hao's emotional value, but she glared at Wang Shu with a smile on her pretty face.

Obviously, he was both happy and embarrassed.

The two joked for a while, and Wang Shu handed her the script and said, "Look, you play the second female lead."

Chen Hao didn't take the script at first, but looked at Wang Shu seriously: "Are you really going to ask me to act in a movie?"

Wang Shu is an Oscar-winning director, and actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong are eager to star in his films.

Chen Hao is a TV actor and a small-screen actor who is looked down upon by movie directors.

She knew in her heart that Wang Shu asked her to act in the movie not because her acting skills or image were suitable, but because Wang Shu gave her a chance.

Chen Hao is self-aware in this regard. Even if she thinks her acting skills are really good, Oscar-winning director Wang Shu can easily find actors with better acting skills than her to star in projects.

In other words, Wang Shu could easily find an actor more suitable than her.

However, Wang Shu did not do so, but gave the role to her.

"Look quickly." Wang Shu glared at her.

Chen Xun pouted, his expression showing a bit of aggrieved at being scolded.

Despite these little expressions, my heart is warm.

Wang Shu seemed impatient, but he actually wanted to give the role to her.

Chen Xu said nothing more, took the script and started to read it.

Wang Shu sat aside, watching Chen Hao who was carefully reading the script, and remained silent.

Chen Hao looked at it for a while but couldn't understand the script. She looked up and saw Wang Shu looking at her. Her pretty face turned red, and then she glared at Wang Shu again to hide her emotions.

Wang Shu laughed and said jokingly, "Why are you staring at me?"

Chen Hao curled his lips upon hearing this, and did not answer the question, but said, "I don't understand the script."

Wang Shu had anticipated this. There are relatively few similar films in China, and many actors lack relevant knowledge. Chen Cao has never acted in a similar play, so it is normal for him to be a little confused when he first came across this kind of script.

For example, Shu Chang.

In the original timeline, she played in many palace fighting dramas. Once she got the script of the drama, she could get into the role instantly.

In contrast, Xin Zhilei was unable to do this and was amazed by Shu Chang.

In fact, every profession has its own specialties.

It’s not that Shu Chang’s acting skills are perfect, but that she has played in many palace fighting dramas, so she is very good at this kind of drama.

If it were any other type of drama, she wouldn't be able to do this. Similarly, if domestic films and TV series like "The Night the Comet Came" were common, then actors in such an environment wouldn't be as confused as they are now when they get the script.

"Do you want me to explain it to you?" Wang Shu asked with a smile.

His tone was teasing, mocking Chen Hao's stupidity.

Chen Xun immediately pouted and wanted to speak but didn't.

By speaking, she admitted that she was not very smart.

He didn't speak and couldn't understand the script.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, pouted his lips and said with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Yes."

Wang Shu laughed and immediately explained the script to her.

However, like Chen Hao and Sun Li, they are slow to understand because they have no corresponding accumulation.

so.
Wang Shu gave up.

Chen Xun was devastated and asked aggrievedly, "Am I stupid?"

"No, it's just that these things touch upon your blind spots in knowledge, and it takes you a while to understand them." Wang Shu comforted.

"Then why are you unwilling to continue to help me explain?" Chen Xu asked aggrievedly.

"Uh~" Wang Shu said, "I want to help you explain it, but I'm busy."

"It's getting late now, and I have other things to deal with. How can I stay here and help you?"

This made a lot of sense. Chen Hao knew that Wang Shu was indeed a very busy man, so he said a little embarrassedly: "Oh, yes, I delayed you."

Wang Shu smiled and said, "Take the script back and read it first. If you really don't understand, contact me."

"There will be a script reading afterwards, so you don't have to worry about not being able to perform well."

"Yeah." Chen Xu responded quickly. After realizing that Wang Shu was a very busy man, he was afraid of wasting Wang Shu's time.

Wang Shu immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first. If you don't understand, please contact me."

"I know." Chen Hao felt Wang Shu's concern and smiled back.

Wang Shu nodded, turned around and left first.

Since Chen Hao had no job at the moment and had a lot of free time, he did not leave immediately. After watching Wang Shu leave, he sat down and continued to look through the script.

I continued to sit there for half an hour, and when I left I found that Wang Shu had already paid the bill. I couldn't help but think of Wang Shu again.

Not only did he give her roles and opportunities to act in movies, he also considered her in every way.

There is a warm feeling in my heart.

In the afternoon, Wang Shu received a call from Sun Li.

The two chatted with each other for a while, and Sun Li asked, "Shu, will the role of "The Night the Comet Came" be changed?"

Wang Shu was confused when he heard this, and asked calmly: "Where did you hear this news?"

Sun Li's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Wang Shu didn't deny it directly. Could it be that he really wanted to change the role?
She didn't answer the question, but said, "I guess."

Feeling that this reason was too far-fetched, he immediately explained, "You went to see Mr. Han yesterday. Given Mr. Han's personality..."

"So, I guess that's what it will be."

When Wang Shu heard this, he had already guessed some of the ins and outs in his heart, and then he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, if I say you are the heroine, then you are the heroine, and no one can change it."

After hearing this, Sun Li was even more certain that Deng Chao's guess was correct. Han Sanping did mention the replacement to Wang Shu. Especially Wang Shu's voice made her feel that she was dragging him down. She hurriedly said, "No, I mean if Director Han wants to replace me, then let's do it."

"Don't argue with him."

"Director Han is the chairman of China Film Group. He has great influence in the industry and no one dares to offend him."

"Don't offend him because of me."

"I'm fine. I don't mind the role change. You don't have to worry about me. Don't do anything stupid."

Wang Shu snorted coldly: "He is the chairman of China Film Group, and I am an Oscar-winning director."

"So what if I offended someone? If I can't make it in China, I can just go to Hollywood."

"Could it be possible that he can still cover the sky with one hand in Hollywood?"

In fact, even in China, Han Sanping cannot cover the sky with one hand.

For example, Zhang Weiping from New Picture dared to mock the other party in front of everyone.

In addition to China Film Group, there are also Shanghai Film Group, Xi'an Film Group, and various other film companies in China.

Even if it is not as good as the cooperation with China Film, it can still cooperate with other film companies and still have distribution channels.

It’s just that if some small fry offend Han Sanping, the big guys in the circle will give Han Sanping face and do him a favor.

But if one could reach a position like Zhang Yimou, it would be a different situation.

The reason why Zhang Weiping dared to mock Han Sanping in public was because he had Zhang Yimou in his hand.

Wang Shu is in the same situation.

If he had a falling out with China Film, Shanghai Film would immediately smell the scent and come to him seeking cooperation.

With Shanghai Film's endorsement, no one will target him.

Therefore, Sun Li was more worried that this incident would affect the relationship between Wang Shu and Han Sanping.

The two of them had a close relationship. If they fell out over this incident, she would not only feel guilty but also feel that she had harmed Wang Shu.

She didn't want to harm Wang Shu.
