Chapter 583
Wang Shu sat in the car and watched Sun Li get out of the car and leave. He didn't know where Sun Li got the news that "The Night the Comet Came" would be casting.
It may be the impact of the casting change in the weekly news of "Terror Cruise", which has led to some speculation.
Or maybe there are other rumors.
No matter what, Sun Li believed this.
However, the fact is that there is no change of roles.
Coincidentally, Wang Shu rejected China Film's participation in "The Night the Comet Came" and it was completed solely by Yishu.
By passing the blame to Han Sanping, the situation can develop exactly as Sun Li thought.
It's not like Wang Shu has never blamed Han Sanping. He is familiar with the situation, and a big blame is placed on Han Sanping's head again.
As for rollover, there is no need to worry.
Because by then, Yishu Company will announce its sole proprietorship of "The Night the Comet Came".
As we all know, Wang Shu and China Film have always cooperated with each other for mutual benefit.
The sudden absence of China Film Group's participation this time inevitably led to conflicting suspicions between the two parties.
As long as a conspiracy theory appears, no matter how hard you explain it, some people will believe it.
In addition, "Pacific Rim" is about to be released, even if it is explained, it will be regarded as a cover-up for fear of affecting the box office of "Pacific Rim".
Therefore, it will definitely correspond to what Sun Li thinks Wang Shu is because he had a conflict with Han Sanping, which eventually led to the sole proprietorship of Yishu Company.
As for the fact that after "The Night the Comet Came" is completed, it will still be distributed by China Film.
There are also enough reasons to explain.
Because "The Night the Comet Came" will inevitably be released after "Pacific Rim" and "Life of Pi".
As long as both movies achieve good results, whether the former at the box office or the latter in terms of awards, as long as they achieve good results.
So, it’s back to the eternal world where there are no eternal enemies.
If so, it means that the benefits are not enough to turn enemies into friends.
Therefore, "The Night the Comet Came" was released by China Film and hit theaters after "Pacific Rim" and "Life of Pi". Even without Wang Shu's intervention, the outside world would think that China Film and Wang Shu had become friends again.
The reason is simple profit driven.
Even if Wang Shu and Han Sanping had a very happy conversation, this reason can be used to explain it.
You don't even need to wait for "The Night the Comet Came" to be released. You only need to have "Pacific Rim" to achieve good box office results. This can be explained by this reason.
Because in the adult world, there is no endless fighting and killing, and it is more driven by interests.
Therefore, Sun Li mistakenly thought that "The Night the Comet Came" would change roles, so there was no need to worry about overturning.
Because with the release of "Pacific Rim", plus China Film and Han Sanping, it is impossible for Wang Shu to completely lose contact with him because of a movie.
At that time, Wang Shu and Han Sanping were chatting and laughing over wine again, and Sun Li mistakenly thought that the change of roles had passed quietly.
After all, the parties involved didn’t care anymore, so how could they, the actors who got the roles, care? How can I keep chasing after him?
What's left is Sun Li's gratitude to Wang Shu for his silent sacrifice for her without asking for anything in return.
"I didn't expect that when Zhou Xun was replaced by Director Han, it would have such a big impact."
Wang Shu sighed while sitting in the car.
"Changing roles is very common in the industry, and this is not the main reason."
"Most likely it's because in the eyes of many people in the industry, Director Han is very domineering in his dealings with others, plus he is keen on making blockbusters with strong lineups, and even Zhou Xun, one of the four double ice skaters, is willing to change at his request."
"Combining these things together, it is inevitable that Sun Li will make some guesses."
As everyone knows, Deng Chao had guessed about this matter first, and only after telling Sun Li about it did Sun Li make the connection.
After saying that, he said with emotion, "Director Han is worthy of being called a mountain eagle. Although everyone is polite to him on the surface, no one thinks he is a good person."
After sighing, he saw Sun Li's back disappearing from sight and drove away immediately.
Wang Shu came to the company and met Chen Kun in the reception room.
"I'm sorry, I was delayed because of something, so I didn't come here until now." Wang Shu opened the door and saw Chen Kun who had been waiting in the reception room for a long time and had already drank two or three cups of coffee, and said with a hint of self-blame.
When Chen Kun saw Wang Shu, he quickly stood up and said politely: "It's okay, it's okay. Director Wang, you're welcome. I've only just arrived."
In fact, after receiving the notice, he came over early in the afternoon and had been waiting in the reception room of Yishu Company for more than two hours.
For him, waiting for more than two hours was nothing at all.
To be able to participate in a film directed by an Oscar-winning director like Wang Shu, even if you wait three days and three nights, it won't be a problem.
Wang Shu smiled when he heard what Chen Kun said.
His words when he opened the door were just a polite gesture.
After all, people have been waiting for so long.
But when it comes to the cards, he is an Oscar-winning director, and his status is much higher than that of Chen Kun, so he just made the other party wait.
If the other person is unhappy, you can leave directly.
Obviously, Chen Kun did not dare to show his displeasure.
It’s just that in terms of age, Wang Shu is much younger than Chen Kun.
If he doesn't show enough attitude, sooner or later he will be ridiculed by others for being arrogant, arrogant and disrespectful to his predecessors.
Mixed domestic entertainment is all about image and personality.
As long as these aspects are managed well enough, popularity among passers-by will be inevitable. If Wang Shu has enough popularity, his value can be reflected in the box office of the movies he directs.
"How do you like the script?" Wang Shu glanced at the script on the table and asked with a smile.
Chen Kun didn't sit back and wait, but there was a script for him to watch.
However, if no one explains it, the script will not be easy to understand and it will be confusing.
Chen Kun responded awkwardly: "I don't quite understand."
After saying that, he quickly added, "But I feel that this script is very powerful. If I have the opportunity to participate in it, I will definitely cherish it and try not to disappoint Director Wang."
This was because I was worried that if I didn’t understand the script, I might lose the chance to get the role, so I immediately expressed my opinion.
Wang Shu also understood, and then said: "In that case, let the company sign a contract with us after you go back. There will be a reading meeting later, and we will help you study the script together."
He was too lazy to waste time explaining the script to Chen Kun here. Anyway, there would be a reading session later, and everyone would make up the lessons together, saving time and effort.
If the problem cannot be solved by reading this meeting, then on-site guidance will be provided and the actors of the crew will perform according to the instructions.
He doesn't need the actors to have their own whims, he just needs the actors on the crew to perform according to his requirements.
"Okay." Chen Kun responded quickly in surprise, fearing that Wang Shu would regret it.
Although he didn't understand the script at the moment, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, fearing that Wang Shu would kick him out if he got impatient.
Even though I didn’t understand the script, I still understood it.
He is not the only male lead in this drama.
Liu Ye, Hu Jun and many others can participate.
He was able to get the role entirely because Wang Shu gave him the opportunity.
He also knew in his heart that such an opportunity was most likely due to Zhou Xun.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to stand out and be selected by a great Oscar-winning director like Wang Shu.
In short, let’s get the character first.
As for the script, we’ll talk about it later.
Seeing Chen Kun agree, Wang Shu continued to chat with him for a few words.
Chen Kun guessed that Wang Shu might be busy with other things and didn't have time to waste time with him, so he took the initiative to leave.
Wang Shu was polite to him again and watched him leave.
Chen Kun took the script and left Yishu Company and couldn't help but feel proud.
Now that he is finally able to star in a movie directed by an Oscar-winning director, his career is about to reach a higher level.
Unfortunately, this project is not a co-production.
Otherwise, maybe there will be a chance to enter the international stage.
However, Chen Kun also knew in his heart that if it were a co-production, the male lead would not be his turn.
Chen Kun left Yishu Company first and then called Zhou Xun.
"Xun'er, do you have time tonight? I'll treat you to dinner." Chen Kun said with a smile.
"Hey, what kind of happy event is this? Not only can you hear the joy in your voice, but you also invited me to dinner." Zhou Xun teased with a smile.
The two are good friends and this kind of teasing is common.
Previously, Zhou Xun had been on the crew, starring in the drama "Confucius" with Chow Yun-fat and others.
In early September, the film was completed and her schedule became free.
"I'll tell you tonight." Chen Kun smiled and remained mysterious.
In the evening, Chen Kun waited for Zhou Xun in the reserved private room of the restaurant.
In addition to Zhou Xun, there is also Shu Qi.
Shu Qi and Zhou Xun met many years ago and became friends.
Chen Kun also met Shu Qi during the millennium.
In 2014, the filming of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Secret of the Dragon" started. Shu Qi, Huang Bo, and Chen Kun were able to cooperate smoothly because they had cooperated with each other before and knew each other.
When Chen Kun saw Shu Qi, he quickly stood up and said hello.
Compared to Zhou Xun, his relationship with Shu Qi was much stranger, so he seemed more polite.
After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them sat down.
Shu Qi was close to Zhou Xun. She originally asked Zhou Xun to have dinner together, but Zhou Xun told Chen Kun that there seemed to be a happy occasion to invite her to dinner and called her over.
The three of them knew each other, and Shu Qi came with Zhou Xun without being polite or pretentious.
Zhou Xun looked up at Chen Kun and joked with a smile: "Tell me, what are you happy about?"
When Chen Kun saw Shu Qi looking at him, he immediately picked up the script next to him with a smile and handed it over, saying with a smile: "Look at this."
Zhou Xun took the script into his hands and looked thoughtful.
When Shu Qi saw that what Zhou Xun was holding was just a script, he was immediately filled with doubts.
It seems to be a rant, isn't it just a script? Is it necessary to be so happy?
We are all actors. Aren’t we exposed to enough scripts in our daily life?
Chen Kun happened to notice Shu Qi's expression. He looked at it with a smile, looking quite proud.
This time, Shu Qi was even more confused.
She didn't think that Chen Kun looked like he had never seen the world, because she knew that Chen Kun had filmed many movies over the years since his debut, so it was impossible that he had never seen the world.
