Chapter 584 Weekly News:.
A script that makes Chen Kun so excited and proud
While Shu Qi was thinking about it, Zhou Xun glanced at it briefly and then looked up at Chen Kun: "Is this what Director Wang gave you?"
It's impossible to understand the script with just a few glances, but you can get a glimpse of the script's settings and ideas.
Zhou Xun is also an old actor and has been exposed to many scripts for many years since his debut.
She could tell at a glance that the script in her hand obviously did not come from the industry, but seemed to be written by someone.
Looking at the entire circle, this person is the only one who can write such a script.
When Shu Qi heard Director Wang, he was startled for a moment. Then he remembered Chen Kun's excited and proud look, and instantly realized who it was. He subconsciously asked in surprise: "Is this a script written by Director Wang Shu?"
Although she became famous again with 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 cross-strait and three places.
It's not like Wang Shu, who doesn't make a move. Once he makes a move, it will be a Sino-US co-production blockbuster that brings together two of the eight major Hollywood companies, Warner and Fox, with China Film, Wanda, Shanghai Film and Television, and Enlight.
Anyone can see that with so many giant-level film companies involved in the production of "Pacific Rim", it will definitely be a huge fan when it is released.
As an actress, she also wanted to participate in Wang Shu's movie, but Wang Shu didn't look for her.
Although she had contact with Wang Shu, it was just a casual acquaintance.
She had been thinking about whether Zhou Xun could help her introduce someone, but she hadn't asked yet.
Seeing Zhou Xun looking at him, Chen Kun smiled calmly and said, "I went to Director Wang's Yishu Company this afternoon and got this script."
After saying that, his tone paused, and then he said, "I play the male lead."
He completely concealed the fact that he sat in the reception room and waited for more than two hours, and only talked about the casting of the male lead.
Shu Qi was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't help but take the script from Zhou Xun's hand and read it.
Wang Shu is an Oscar-winning director. Even Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat, Tony Leung and others want to work with him on his films, let alone others.
Chen Kun actually got the role of male lead? !
this?
It's not that she looks down on Chen Kun, but with Wang Shu's reputation, there will be many bigger male stars vying to star in the role.
Not to mention the many big names in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Liu Ye, Hu Jun, Zhang Hanyu and others from the Mainland are all bigger than him.
When it comes to the cards, this kind of drama is simply not Chen Kun's turn.
Chen Kun seemed to have guessed what Shu Qi was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Thanks to 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, his expression suddenly dawned, and he paused while flipping through the script.
If Zhou Xun recommended Chen Kun to Wang Shu, then everything would be explained clearly.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at Zhou Xun, feeling quite regretful in her heart.
If Zhou Xun had been asked to introduce Wang Shu to her 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 was sure that the script Shu Qi got was written by Wang Shu, she suddenly felt emotional in her heart.
She also knows that Wang Shu decides who to star in Wang Shu's movie and has nothing to do with her.
However, even though he knew this, he still had emotions.
Originally, I had quite a lot of emotions in my heart, but I had been suppressing them. But now I felt much better after hearing Chen Kun's words.
While feeling better, I also started to reflect.
Since Wang Shu will find Chen Kun to play the leading role, it proves that Wang Shu really cares about her.
Since he cared about her, he didn't approach her when he had a play appointment, but instead approached Chen Kun. There might be something hidden in it.
After Zhou Xun thought about this, his inner emotions dissipated a lot again, and he planned to find a time to ask Wang Shu out to ask about the situation.
Zhou Xun replied calmly: "The main thing is that your strength can be recognized by Director Wang, otherwise my recommendation will be in vain."
Not only did Chen Kun think it was her recommendation that gave him the opportunity to get the role, but Zhou Xun himself thought so too.
This is indeed the case. There are so many actors in the entertainment industry. If Wang Shu hadn't looked at Zhou Xun's face, he would not have approached Chen Kun at all.
Chen Kun smiled when he heard this, still holding Zhou Xun in his hands and said: "I know my strength well, it's just like that, average level."
"You must be the first to get the role!"
"So I have to thank you very much. Come on, without further ado, I'll give you a toast."
After saying that, he raised his glass in toast.
Zhou Xun smoked and drank, and then he raised a glass and clinked it with Chen Kun.
Shu Qi was a little jealous on the side and couldn't help but suggest: "Xun'er, when will you recommend me to Director Wang? Maybe Director Wang will also ask me to act in a movie."
When Chen Kun heard this from the side, he smiled dryly and closed his mouth.
He is different from Shu Qi in that he is an actor and Shu Qi is an actress.
If Zhou Xun recommends Shu Qi to Wang Shu, then he will undoubtedly add competitors to himself.
But we are all friends, so we can’t refuse this kind of thing without losing face.
He simply refused to participate in this topic as an outsider.
Zhou Xun turned his head to look at Shu Qi and said with a smile: "Tell him if you have the chance."
The two are friends, and even if she doesn't want to, it's hard to refuse. She knew very well that Wang Shu was a great director who could bring people to the international stage and even Hollywood.
Shu Qi's status on the international stage is greater than hers.
She is still wandering around the country.
On the other hand, Shu Qi has already served as a judge for the three major European competitions.
Therefore, Shu Qi has an advantage when it comes to participating in films directed by Wang Shu that are geared toward the international stage.
All Zhou Xun can rely on is his friendship and relationship with Wang Shu.
Therefore, for Zhou Xun, recommending Shu Qi to Wang Shu is undoubtedly giving him a powerful opponent.
When Shu Qi heard this, he smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "If you have the opportunity, you can also make an appointment with Director Wang to enhance our friendship."
Zhou Xun smiled and answered: "I will ask him out if I have the chance, but he is usually very busy and it is difficult to ask him out."
Chen Kun expressed his opinion at this time and echoed: "Director Wang is indeed very busy. Today at Yikeshu Company, he was in a hurry. It was obvious that he had many things to do and was very busy."
When Shu Qi heard this, he sighed: "We can only wait until we have the chance."
In fact, there was another reason why Zhou Xun didn't want to introduce his friend Shu Qi to Wang Shu.
Shu Qi is a very open-minded person. He can interact with men at banquets as if no one else is watching, and he is also very open in his private life.
She was worried that if she introduced Shu Qi to Wang Shu, she might not be able to introduce them to each other first, and Shu Qi would sleep with Wang Shu later.
She felt that Shu Qi would not think about Wang Shu like she did, and would always exercise restraint and never cross 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 master who ascended to power through his body would actively use his body to obtain resources.
Many people attach great importance to this aspect, but Shu Qi is open to it.
The three of them did not dwell on this topic anymore, but focused on the script.
Shu Qi read the script for a while and found that the more he read, the more confused he became. He couldn't help but look up at Chen Kun and asked: "Do you understand the script? Why can't I understand it?"
Regarding this issue, Chen Kun did not pretend to understand, and said truthfully: "I don't understand it either, but Director Wang said that there will be a reading meeting later, and everyone will discuss the script together."
"You didn't even understand the script, so you took the role?" Shu Qi teased with a smile.
Chen Kun shrugged and responded noncommittally: "Please, this is a science fiction script written by Director Wang."
"Even if I don't read the script, just because of the two titles of Director Wang and Sci-Fi Film, I would accept the role without even thinking about it, let alone read the script."
What he said was true.
Not only him, but actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places think so.
If Wang Shu made films with other themes, he might be overturned.
However, if it is a science fiction film, many people have great confidence in Wang Shu.
Even if I don't read the script, I am still willing to accept the role without any thought.
And, for many actors, it’s a bad movie.
Being able to participate in Wang Shu's film is a rare opportunity.
It doesn't matter whether there is a script or not.
What matters is whether he can be favored by Wang Shu.
Shu Qi laughed. Of course she knew this, so she teased him.
Zhou Xun took the script from Shu Qi, looked through it a few times, and said aloud: "The setting of this script should be the theory of parallel universes in quantum mechanics."
"Quantum mechanics?" Chen Kun heard this and felt that although he didn't understand it, he didn't know how serious it was.
"Parallel universe?" Shu Qi stared with big eyes, also not understanding, but feeling very powerful.
Zhou Xun saw the expressions of the two of them, and felt a little proud in his heart. He explained with a smile: "I don't know much about it, but Director Wang told me about the settings of some science fiction movies before when I participated in "Terror Cruise" .”
"For example, the setting of "Terror Cruise" is time and space reincarnation."
"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 setting of time and space reincarnation."
After listening to this, Shu Qi, although he didn’t understand what quantum mechanics and parallel universes were, felt more and more about Wang Shu’s talent and strength. He couldn’t help but exclaimed: “I feel that Director Wang is so awesome.”
Seeing Zhou Xun and Chen Kun both looking over, he then said, "It's really different from domestic directors."
"Domestic directors shoot over and over again clichéd things."
"Only Director Wang's films can often give people a sense of surprise."
"It is precisely because of this sense of surprise that it cultivates the audience's sense of expectation and thus controls the box office appeal."
"Because the audience has expectations for his movies, they will buy tickets and go to the theater without thinking."
Zhou Xun and Chen Kun looked at each other after listening.
As if to say, the following sentences came out of Shu Qi's mouth, which was very inconsistent and did not seem to be something she could say.
