Chapter 584 Zhou Xun:.
The script that made Chen Kun so excited and proud
While Shu Qi was thinking, Zhou Xun glanced at it briefly and looked up at Chen Kun: "Is this from Director Wang?"

It is impossible to understand the script by just taking a quick glance, but you can get a glimpse of the setting and conception of the script.

Zhou Xun is also a veteran actor and has been exposed to many scripts over the years since his debut.

She could tell at a glance that the script in her hand was obviously not from the circle, but seemed to be written by someone else.

Looking at the entire circle, only this person can write such a script.

When Shu Qi heard Director Wang, he was stunned at first, but then he remembered Chen Kun's excited and proud look, and instantly realized who it was. He subconsciously asked in surprise, "Is this Director Wang Shu's script?"

Although she became popular again because of Feng Xiaogang's If You Are the One, Feng Xiaogang is not an Oscar-winning director after all.

Even though "If You Are the One" is also a co-production, it is only a co-production between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macao.

Unlike Wang Shu, who would not make a move if he did not make one, but when he did, he would bring together two of the eight Hollywood giants, Warner and Fox, with China Film, Wanda, Shanghai Film, and Light Media to produce a Sino-US co-production blockbuster.

Anyone can see that with so many giant film companies involved in the production of Pacific Rim, it will definitely be a huge success when it is released.

As an actress, she also wanted to act in Wang Shu's movies, but Wang Shu didn't look for her.

Although she had had contact with Wang Shu, they were just nodding acquaintances.

She had been wondering if Zhou Xun could make some introductions for her, but she hadn't asked yet.

Seeing Zhou Xun also looking at him, Chen Kun smiled calmly and said, "I went to Director Wang's Yikeshu Company this afternoon and got this script."

After saying this, he paused, then added, "I'll play the male lead."

He completely concealed the fact that he had been sitting in the reception room waiting for more than two hours, and only talked about playing the leading male role.

Shu Qi was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't help but take the script from Zhou Xun and start reading it.

Wang Shu is an Oscar-winning director. Even Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat, Tony Leung and others want to work with him, let alone others.

Chen Kun actually got the leading male role? !
This?
It’s not that she looks down on Chen Kun, but with Wang Shu’s reputation, many more famous male stars will be vying for the role.

Not to mention the many big names in Hong Kong and Taiwan, even mainland Chinese celebrities like Liu Ye, Hu Jun, Zhang Hanyu and others are bigger names than him.

Judging from the circumstances, it was not Chen Kun's turn to get such a role.

Chen Kun seemed to have guessed what Shu Qi was thinking, so he smiled and said, "I have to thank Xun'er. If she hadn't recommended me to Director Wang many times, I probably wouldn't have gotten this role."

When Shu Qi heard this, he suddenly realized something and paused in his action of flipping through the script.

If it was Zhou Xun who recommended Chen Kun to Wang Shu, then everything is explained.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Zhou Xun, feeling quite regretful.

If she had asked Zhou Xun to introduce her to Wang Shu earlier, would she have had such an opportunity?

However, didn’t Wang Shu invite Zhou Xun?

Why does she look like she doesn't know?
Zhou Xun really didn't know, so when she confirmed that the script Shu Qi got was written by Wang Shu, she suddenly felt emotional.

She also knew that who to cast in Wang Shu's movie was all decided by Wang Shu and had nothing to do with her.

However, even though I know this, I still have emotions.

I was feeling very emotional but I had been suppressing it. Now after hearing what Chen Kun said, I felt much better.

While feeling good, I also began to reflect.

Since Wang Shu chose Chen Kun to play the male lead, it proves that Wang Shu really cares about her.

Since he cared about her, he did not look for her when there was a play offer, but instead looked for Chen Kun. There might be some hidden story behind it.

When Zhou Xun thought about this, his emotions dissipated again. He planned to find a time to ask Wang Shu out to ask about the situation.

Zhou Xun replied calmly: "It mainly depends on your ability to be recognized by Director Wang, otherwise it would be useless for me to recommend you."

Not only did Chen Kun believe that it was her recommendation that gave him the opportunity to get the role, but Zhou Xun herself also thought so.

This is indeed the case. There are so many male actors in the entertainment industry. If it weren't for Zhou Xun's face, Wang Shu would never have chosen Chen Kun.

Chen Kun chuckled when he heard this, still holding Zhou Xun in his arms and said, "I know my ability well, it's just so-so, average."

"You are definitely the one who deserves the most credit for getting the role!"

"So I have to thank you very much. Come, without further ado, let me toast you a glass."

After saying that, he raised his glass to toast.

Zhou Xun was smoking and drinking at the same time, and then he raised his glass and clinked it with Chen Kun.

Shu Qi was a little jealous and couldn't help but suggest, "Xun'er, when can you recommend me to Director Wang? Director Wang might also want me to act in a movie."

Chen Kun heard this and closed his mouth with a dry laugh.

He is different from Shu Qi, he is an actor and Shu Qi is a actress.

If Zhou Xun recommended Shu Qi to Wang Shu, he would undoubtedly be adding a competitor to himself.

But we are all friends, and we can't refuse such a thing out of shame.

He simply pretended to be an outsider and didn't get involved in the topic.

Zhou Xun turned his head to look at Shu Qi and said with a smile: "Tell him when you have a chance."

The two were friends, so even if she didn't want to, she couldn't refuse. She knew very well that Wang Shu was a great director who could help people step onto the international stage and even into Hollywood.

However, Shu Qi's status on the international stage is greater than hers.

She is still traveling around the country.

In contrast, Shu Qi has already served as a judge for the three major European award shows.

Therefore, when it comes to participating in films directed by Wang Shu for the international stage, Shu Qi has more advantages.

All Zhou Xun can rely on is his friendship and relationship with Wang Shu.

Therefore, for Zhou Xun, recommending Shu Qi to Wang Shu would undoubtedly mean adding a powerful opponent to himself.

When Shu Qi heard this, he smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "If there is a chance, you can also invite Director Wang out to enhance our friendship."

Zhou Xun smiled and said, "Ask him out if you have the chance, but he's usually very busy, so it's hard to get him out."

Chen Kun expressed his opinion at this time, and agreed: "Director Wang is indeed very busy. Today at Yikeshu Company, he was in a hurry, and it was obvious that he had a lot of things to do and was very busy."

When Shu Qi heard this, he sighed and said, "We can only wait until we have the chance."

In fact, there is another reason why Zhou Xun didn't want to introduce his good friend Shu Qi to Wang Shu.

Shu Qi is a very open-minded person. She can interact with men at banquets without paying attention to others around her. She is also very open in her private life.

She was worried that if she introduced Shu Qi to Wang Shu, Shu Qi might sleep with Wang Shu right after they were introduced.

She felt that Shu Qi would not consider Wang Shu as much as she did. She had always been restraining herself and never crossed the red line.

But Shu Qi is different. Not only does he not restrain himself, he also takes the initiative.

As a good friend of Shu Qi, Zhou Xun knew that this man, who had gained power through his body, would actively use his body to gain resources.

Many people attach great importance to this aspect, but Shu Qi is open-minded about it.

The three of them stopped dwelling on the topic and focused on the script.

Shu Qi read the script for a while and found that he was getting more and more confused. He looked up at Chen Kun and asked, "Did you understand the script? I don't seem to understand it very well."

Chen Kun did not pretend to understand this question, and told the truth: "I didn't understand it either, but Director Wang said there will be a reading session later, and we can discuss the script together then."

"You took the role without even understanding the script?" Shu Qi teased with a smile.

Chen Kun shrugged and said noncommittally, "Come on, this is a science fiction script written by Director Wang."

"Even if I didn't read the script, I would have accepted the offer without a second thought just based on the two names of Director Wang and science fiction film, not to mention reading the script."

He spoke the truth.

Not only him, but actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau all think so.

If Wang Shu made films on other subjects, they might fail.

But, if it is a science fiction film, many people have great confidence in Wang Shu.

Even without reading the script, I am willing to take the role without thinking.

Moreover, for many actors, it is even a bad movie.

Being able to participate in Wang Shu’s movie is a rare opportunity.

It doesn’t matter whether there is a script or not.

What’s important is whether you can be favored by Wang Shu.

Shu Qi laughed. Of course she knew this, so she made a joke.

Zhou Xun took the script from Shu Qi, flipped through it, and said, "The setting of this script should be the parallel universe theory in quantum mechanics."

"Quantum mechanics?" Chen Kun felt that although he didn't understand it, he felt it was impressive.

"Parallel universe?" Shu Qi stared with his big eyes. He also didn't understand, but he felt it was very powerful.

Zhou Xun saw the expressions of the two people and felt a little proud in his heart. He explained with a smile: "I don't really understand it either. It's just that when I participated in "Ghost Ship" before, Director Wang told me about some settings of science fiction films."

“For example, the setting of “Ghost Ship” is the cycle of time and space.”

"The setting of this movie should be the parallel universe theory of quantum mechanics that Director Wang told me at that time, which is different from the time and space reincarnation setting."

After listening to this, Shu Qi, although he did not understand what quantum mechanics and the parallel universe theory were, felt more and more that Wang Shu was talented and capable, and could not help but exclaimed: "Director Wang is so amazing."

Seeing Zhou Xun and Chen Kun looking over, he immediately added, "It's really different from domestic directors."

"Domestic directors keep shooting the same clichéd stuff over and over again."

“Only Director Wang’s films can often give people a sense of amazement.”

"It is precisely because of this sense of surprise that the audience's expectations are cultivated, which in turn controls the box office appeal."

"Because the audience is looking forward to his movies, they will buy tickets and go to the theater without thinking."

After listening to this, Zhou Xun and Chen Kun looked at each other.

It seemed that the following few sentences sounded out of place coming from Shu Qi's mouth, and did not seem like something she would say.
