Chapter 201 If You Want to Destroy the Enemy, Start From Within the Enemy

However, just as he thought of this, he heard Chen Xiao say: "Yes, his acting skills are good, but judging from the scene just now, the audience can't get rid of the impression of Andrew."

The assistant blinked.

Um? Director Chen actually didn't speak for Teacher Zeng?

Uh, could it be that they have a normal relationship?

It's really weird not to talk about relationships.

Just when I thought of this, I heard a piece of English.

Chazelle also said: "Yes. Audiences from other countries will have the same reaction. For example, when I see him, I will remember the scene before the Titanic sank, when he set the clock to the estimated time of the sinking. In the future, he will either To play the same type of good guy, or to play in your Chinese costume dramas or something like that, with a bigger change in appearance.”

As for the role of director, both Andrew and Andrew have clean faces and hairstyles that are close to everyday life. It's hard to make huge adjustments to his appearance.

Chen Xiao nodded, "Well, let's take a look further. There are two more movie stars among the candidates."

After speaking, Chen Xiao glanced at the casting director's assistant and asked him to call the next person to enter.

…

The morning passed quickly.

The two roles of Truman and director have also been confirmed.

Truman is played by Jin Rui, and the director is played by another actor Li De.

Li De and Zeng Wei behaved similarly. But the appearance is great.

His shiny head and somewhat tired look fit the role of director perfectly, so all the directors present unanimously agreed to cast him!

Looking at the list in his hand, Chen Xiao was a little unbelievable.

Did this morning go so smoothly?

There was no problem with the pay and schedule, everyone abided by the rules, and there was no problem with the order of the actors.

Why does it feel so frighteningly smooth?

It must be that I was used to being tossed before, and suddenly calmed down, and I am not used to it anymore.

Chen Xiao yawned, stood up and walked out of the casting room, saying to the show manager: "I'm going to go see "Family with Children", remember to leave a meal for me."

"good."

Chen Xiao took the elevator to the second floor. As soon as he got out of the elevator door, he saw Sun Li with a sad face, leaning against the wall and looking at his mobile phone.

After walking out of the door, Sun Li glanced at him, then his eyes lit up, and he walked quickly towards him, as if grasping a life-saving straw, he sighed: "Director Chen, oh no, Director Chen, I was about to contact you. Oh my god, you are so timely.”

Oh, he knew it.

It would be strange if nothing happened.

Everyone calls him Director Chen, something big must have happened.

"What happened?"

The two of them walked into an empty conference room nearby and sat down.

Sun Li sighed and said: "To put it simply, if you have the capital, you have to add actors to the crew."

As he spoke, he opened the cast list in his hand and handed it to Chen Xiao, "Like this one, a relative of Chairman Lezhong wants to play Liu Mei."

Chen Xiao looked at the aunt in front of her, whose age column was 62 years old. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and sneer: "Why is she playing Liu Mei? Liu Mei is not suitable for her at 45 years old. She is suitable for playing Xiaoxue. She looks so young. Oh. No, Xiaoyu is more suitable, he’s still a baby.”

Sun Li smiled bitterly and said, "Stop joking. What's going on?"

"Just say, I think his age is not appropriate. Say it in my name." As he said that, Chen Xiao turned back the page again.

Sun Li nodded.

Chen Xiao still has a lot of say in the entertainment industry. If he says what he says, the public will not dare to have any objections.

Sun Li sighed and saw a familiar face crossing the document in Chen Xiao's hand.

"Director Chen, wait, this." Sun Li raised his hand and turned back a page.

"You should call me Director Chen. We have been working together for more than a year. It sounds too awkward for you to call me that."

"Okay. Director Chen, look at this one." Sun Li turned a page forward and pointed at a woman in her forties, "This person, Li Xian is also a well-connected person and wants to play Liu Mei."

Chen Xiao scanned Li Xian's resume.

She has played many roles, mostly palace dramas, family dramas, and even sketches.

Why does this person look familiar?

Chen Xiao blinked heavily.

I remembered.

I came across this before when I was watching entertainment news. She acted in a family drama "Daughter-in-law's Spring".

Some netizens said that the acting was good and that the male and female protagonists looked like husband and wife.

Chen Xiao raised his head and asked, "How is her vision skills? If her acting skills are good, we don't have to avoid suspicion."

Sun Li shook his head in despair.

"It's very bad. You will regret having eyes after watching it! Her acting skills are very poor, and the good reviews online are from people who are fake or have a relatively niche aesthetic."

"Not only is her acting skills poor, she hates memorizing lines and is afraid that the audience will think she is a numbers lady, so she changes the script randomly. Acting is like playing house."

"She also likes to pick the male lead and steal the director's say."

At the end of the sentence, Sun Li covered his face and sighed, "Brother, brother, save me!"

I really want to cry.

His friend has worked with Li Xian. When Li Xian was late, she asked the whole crew to wait. After waiting for a long time, she said she was tired today and wanted to go to the beauty salon and didn't want to come.

Doesn’t this drive the director crazy?

Chen Xiao put down the document, "In this case, we must reject it. Letting her act in it would be a waste of the script."

Sun Li put down his hand, covering his face until it turned red, sighed, and said with a confused look on his face:

"Director Chen, don't you rarely gossip? Do you know who her background is?"

"I don't know, I've only read her "Daughter-in-law's Spring"."

"She has a very strong background. She is Gao Rui's wife."

After saying that, Sun Li sighed again.

Gao Rui is the founder of Ruixiang Group and is almost 70 years old this year.

Ruixiang Group is a well-known large enterprise in China with a market value of over 100 billion yuan and businesses covering commercial real estate, high-end hotels, and chain department stores.

Compared with Ruixiang Group, Oriental Media is indeed pitifully small.

Moreover, Chen Xiao has connections in the literary and art circles and in the Ministry of Culture.

Gao Rui's connections in the upper echelons will only be deeper than his.

This Li Xian is his wife, the wife who has obtained a marriage certificate.

He is particularly good to Li Xian, showing affection online and supporting her at offline events.

I heard from a friend that this is because Li Xian looks very similar to Gao Rui's first love who died.

Alas, the reason is not important. What is important is how they get rid of this hot potato now.

Li Xian's age is not a big problem.

It is definitely not possible to reject it directly like the relatives of the chairman of Lezhong were rejected.

Sun Li sighed again, "Director Chen, we really can't be tough on this."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The assistant came in and stood at the door and said, "Director Sun, Director Chen. Ms. Li Xian's husband, Mr. Gao Rui, is here. Do you want to go over and meet him?"

"Yes, I'll be there in a minute."

"Okay, you two are busy." The assistant closed the door.

Chen Xiao looked at Sun Li, "Has Xia Donghai been selected?"

"Not yet."

"Show me the list of actors."

Chen Xiao took the male lead's profile sheet and flipped through it page by page. When he saw the name of a male actor, he paused and then pulled out a few cast sheets.

Perhaps, there is a way.

If you want to destroy the enemy, start from within the enemy.
