Chapter 93: First Meeting with Mr. Zhou
Facts have proved that the weeds growing in Chen An's wild field have strong vitality.

In this short confrontation, we barely won.

I got up early in the morning and had last night's soup with rice as breakfast.

The other party had already left, and was quite busy, leaving Chen An alone.

Chen An was really touched that he took the time to come over despite his busy schedule.

Call Li Xiaoping and send an interview invitation to the actors.

The heroine is naturally Miss Zhou, who plays Zhang Xiaomei, the wife of Mr. Ge in the film.

When it comes to the role of mother, Chen An thinks of the not-so-kind Rong Mama.

As for the role of the younger brother, Chen An called Duan Long directly, "Hello, are you in Beijing? Do you want a role?"

"Yes, Director Chen, I'll be there right away." The other end of the phone immediately responded.

Duan Long, who graduated last year, has officially started taking on external acting jobs and has also joined a drama theater. He was very excited to hear Chen An's call.

Then he hung up the phone in a hurry and rushed here.

Even the supporting character Duan Long is very interested.

Not long after Chen An finished his meal and took a shower, Duan Long arrived.

She followed Chen An into the room with great interest and couldn't help asking, "Director Chen, what role?"

"Don't worry, I'll give you the script later. Have a drink of water first." Chen An looked at the other person's hurried look and poured him a glass of water first.

Then he took out the script and threw it to the other party, "It's still a supporting role. It depends on whether you are willing to play the role of the younger brother."

Duan Long immediately took the script and said, "No problem, I'll play the supporting role too." After saying that, he picked up the script and read it carefully.

After watching it, he said directly: "Director Chen, I think the leading role is more suitable for me."

"Puff~" Chen An, who was drinking tea, couldn't help but spit it out.

It all sprayed on the table, and he wiped his mouth and said unhappily: "Get lost, I'm going to find Uncle Ge, you go talk to him and see if he's willing."

Upon hearing that his competitor was Uncle Ge, Duan Long sighed, knowing that he had no chance.

But with a script like this, I really want to play the leading role of Mr. Tree.

"Director Chen, when will the filming start? I'll take the script back and take a look."

"I'll let you know when the time comes. Take it back and have a look."

Chen An shook his hands and said to the other party.

It is always safer to make movies on your own. If you insist on going against others, it will not be worth it if you are banned as a director.

Although he could go to Hollywood, Chen An always felt that his home base was in China.

Going there is just to make extra money, and you will have to leave sooner or later.

Li Xiaoping was very quick and had already notified everyone of the interview, and not only that, she also held an external interview.

Arrange the interview location in advance.

We rented a factory room in a building not far from the company to conduct the interviews.

But this time, it was Li Xiaoping who accompanied Chen An.

Madam Li Mingqi sent the film contract invitation directly just like Mr. Ge, without any interview. When the other party heard that it was Chen An's invitation, he accepted it without hesitation.

"Hello, Director, hello, Manager Li, I am Sun Honglei." The person who pushed the door open introduced himself.

As the general manager of Chen An Company, Li Xiaoping is somewhat well-known in the Beijing part of the industry.

Chen An looked at the familiar figure in front of him. Isn’t this Hua Qiang?
"Has Director Zhang finished filming his movie?" Chen An asked with a smile as he looked at Sun Honglei who came for the interview.

"My Father and Mother" is not only Zhang Ziyi's masterpiece, but also her first film after entering the film industry.

Logically, her starting point was quite high, but her development was completely different from that of Zhang Ziyi, who was in the same crew. She finally became famous through TV dramas.

On the other hand, Zhang Ziyi is soaring in the film industry and has even gone abroad. Sun Honglei didn't expect that the other party actually knew him and smiled in surprise. He said sincerely: "My scenes have been filmed, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come to your place for an interview."

Things like staged plays are very taboo in front of directors, especially big directors like Chen An and Zhang Yimou.

"Well, stop laughing and make an angry expression." Although he was quite satisfied with the other party's image, Chen An still asked the other party to perform.

The role of Erzhu in the play is quite suitable for each other. His arrogant behavior and arrogant appearance are exactly the same, and even more terrifying.

Sun Honglei nodded without saying anything and began to adjust his facial expressions. He opened his eyes without much performance and Chen An nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, Sister Xiaoping, he'll play the role of Erzhu." Chen An turned and said to Li Xiaoping beside him.

The other party also nodded to show that he understood.

Sun Honglei also said happily: "Thank you Director Chen, I can wait for your notice at any time."

"Okay, I'll have someone contact you when the time comes. Take a copy of the script back first, and then we'll sign the contract together."

"No problem, Director Chen. I'll be waiting for your notification when the time comes."

Sun Honglei excitedly took the complete script handed over by Chen An. He had just finished starring in Zhang Yimou's movie and now he had a successful interview with Chen An.

He felt that there was nothing more exciting than this. The opportunity to work with two great directors in a row was simply a godsend for a newcomer like him.

The interviews were all for small roles, and Chen An mainly wanted to interview Zhou Xun.

I have already sent the script over, and this interview is just to see its quality.

Let’s see what the other party can do in just three days.

Although the importance of the role is not as great as that of Ge You's leading actor, being a mute character without lines is also a huge challenge.

The requirements for actors are also very high.

Wait until the other person walked in, gently pushed open the door, and came into Chen An's sight.

The heroine Zhang Xiaomei in the script he wrote appears vivid and lifelike.

Only the pair of lively eyes were exposed, while the face below was covered by a scarf.

This is what the character looks like when he first appears.

Chen An was very satisfied. When the lines were prohibited, the eyes became a highlight of the acting expression.

"Very good, I remember you still have a TV drama contract, can you take a leave?" After seeing the other party's well-prepared performance, Chen An asked directly with great satisfaction.

Zhou Xun then pulled down the scarf around her mouth to reveal her entire face. "I told the other party that Director Chen wanted me to make a movie, so I can definitely take a leave." She said this with a smile on her face.

His voice was ethereal, much better than the drake Sang that he had turned into from smoking too much in his previous life.

"Since my name is so useful, you should tell the other party in advance."

"I told you when I came here today, otherwise I wouldn't have come so late."

Before coming, Zhou Xun had already informed the crew that Chen An had invited her to interview for the new movie.

Chen An looked at Zhou Xun, whom he met for the first time, and felt that it would be a pity not to bring him into his company.

After the other party terminated the contract with Rongxin, he must be poached. Anyway, he had already poached one of the two pillars in the previous life, so poaching another one would make no difference.

He has good looks and good acting skills, a perfect tool.

She is one of the few actresses in China who has won three awards: the Golden Rooster, the Golden Horse, and the Golden Statue

It doesn't matter whether it's business or award-winning.

"Now that you still have a film contract, you must control yourself and not mess up your role. I will notify you when the crew starts filming." Chen An thought that the other party seemed to be an experientialist who came from a self-taught background, so he reminded him.

Zhou Xun didn't say anything after hearing the reminder, but smiled and nodded, pulling the scarf around her neck up again.

He raised his right hand and waved as if saying goodbye, then walked out.
