Chapter 463

A few seconds later, Morakot answered the phone, "Hey, I was wondering when you're going to call me, it seems Ben has contacted you?"

Gu Su nodded, "Contacted, I'll ask him to send me the script first to have a look."

Morakot laughed, and then said seriously, "I know you must be wondering why I would recommend you to him."

Gu Su shrugged, "Indeed."

Morakot and Ben met at an industry exchange meeting. At that time, both of them were unknown directors.

Time flies, the friendship between the two is still there, but the only difference is that one of them has become a world-renowned director, while the other is still a shining pearl.

Speaking of this, Morakot sighed, "He is a very talented guy, but a serious communication barrier has ruined many opportunities for him. In fact, he has also produced two good films. I guess you should watch them."

Gu Su hurriedly asked which two, Morakot told him, and then they both fell silent.

Indeed, Gu Su has indeed seen it, and it is indeed a rare and good film. No wonder he felt the name of Ben Duke so familiar before.

But because Ben couldn't get sponsors, he couldn't do publicity, and the subject matter of swordsmanship meant that they couldn't be as popular as popular commercial films.

Whether it's a hit or not, that's undoubtedly the best description of Ben's work.

At that time, those two films really received a lot of praise in the circle of professional film critics, and even won the Best Storyline Award at the Linde Film Festival, but the box office was extremely dismal, and even half of the cost was not recovered.

Because the audience couldn't understand it at all, or couldn't watch it at all, they complained loudly, saying how boring the film was, how obscure the plot was, and the ending was even more confusing and confusing.

Compared with such literary films, more people are willing to spend money to watch a hearty luxury car chase, or a dazzling gunfight blockbuster. Little trace.

Ben has the peculiar paranoia of a real artist, and his repeated failures did not diminish his enthusiasm for pursuing art. Although countless investors were discouraged by his dismal box office, he was still persistent.

However, the reality is very cruel. There is no crime in pursuing art, but you need a lot of money if you want to live.

If you don’t have money, you’re bound to shrink back. Naturally, you don’t dare to expect vigorous publicity, but you can’t rent a good shooting location, and you can’t afford good actors. You may even have to use second-class shooting equipment...

Morakot said, "Gu, you are a good actor, there is no doubt about it, and Ben is a good director." He paused, smiling a little embarrassedly, "Of course, you are rich and I recommended you to him one of the reasons."

Before the words finished, Gu Su and him both laughed.

Gu Su understood the unfinished meaning in his words:
Having money not only means that maybe Gu Su will invest in Ben with a wave of his hand, but also because Morakot knows that such a Gu Su will not care too much about the salary.

In this way, as long as Ben's book is interesting enough, he is very likely to get a good leading actor.

In the final analysis, the world of art has never been without the support of money, or, the so-called art is also a tower of ivory made of gold.

The purest, but the dirtiest.

It is because Gu Su is rich that he can be more self-willed, not as obsessed with salary as other actors, and can choose the role he likes...

After finishing the call with Morakot, Gu Su began to read carefully the script that Ben sent to him.
