Mr. Chu

When Gu Yang hurried to the place Xu Kong designated, some people had already gathered.As soon as the agent saw him, he rushed over and pulled him aside.

Through a succinct description, Gu Yang quickly understood what the situation is now. Just today, just now, Xu Kong learned of a movie, a blockbuster directed by a famous Hollywood comedy director, and the production was only confirmed today. Prepare to cast a role, and this movie is enough to make him crazy, who has always been calm.

This is a typical American comedy-you can tell from the name, "This Killer Is Kinda Cool".

The main plot of the movie is like this. An ordinary high school student dreams of becoming a good baseball player. By mistake, he and the well-known underworld killer of the same age——Black Scorpion took the wrong backpack, and they got confused Being identified as wrong, involved in a series of disputes.

This is actually a movie with two male protagonists. The high school student is played by the popular young boy with blonde hair and blue eyes-Thomson Clintons, which has been pre-determined.The point is, the film crew decided to adopt an oriental face for that killer!In other words, it is Gu Yang's great opportunity!It is equivalent to him being able to win a leading role in an A-level production!No wonder Xu Kong is going crazy!

"You must—you must win this role." Xu Kong kept walking, and while leading Gu Yang into the arena, he said: "There is no better opportunity than this—I know this, and everyone else knows— All Asian faces in Hollywood will want it, but they can't compete with you, I've seen it, you have the biggest box office potential, the highest awards, and the best reviews in the circle - you must grab this role, I will use up my hands All the resources will open the way for you, go, as long as you can get him, you will be popular all over the world."

Gu Yang had already experienced Xu Kong's precise vision in selecting films. He nodded without hesitation and was welcomed in by his assistant.

Sure enough, in the interview room, there were already many Asian faces. When they saw Gu Yang, their expressions became tense in unison, like a wolf rushing into a herd of sheep—yes, there is only one such opportunity. , When you are dead or I am alive, how can you perform well in the face of the biggest competitor.

At this time, a different person was highlighted. When he saw the boy, he laughed and waved to him enthusiastically, signaling him to come over.

That is a young boy who is very popular in the mainland. He debuted as a singer. He has good resources in the fashion and film circles. He is also very popular in the TV drama circle and has accumulated a lot of girl fans.His name is Liu Yixin, and Gu Yang has met him on some occasions.

"Long time no see." As soon as Gu Yang came over, he said affectionately, "You really came too. I said that my chances are not great. My manager forced me to come here from the mainland, and I was exhausted. gone."

Gu Yang smiled slightly and said, "I also think——it's hard."

"No way?" Liu Yixin shouted in a fuss, "If you find it difficult, how can we live? Let me tell you, this role is for you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the young man gently covered his mouth——Liu Yixin was taken aback, the other party's expression was obviously gentle and easy to talk, but his eyes showed a bit of coldness for no reason.

"Nothing." Gu Yang said softly, "Are you thirsty? Would you like some water?"

His performance was very low-key, and the people around who were paying attention to this side all looked away boredly.

Liu Yixin's body stiffened for a moment, and finally her voice lowered: "...No need, ah, I lost my head just now, don't mind me."

"It's ok."

The boy lowered his head and stopped talking. He looked at his fingertips calmly, but a series of lines were calmly connected in his mind.

Liu Yixin came here from the mainland, which means that he knew that there was an interview today, much earlier than Xu Kong, so the person who told him the news must be at least a director-level figure, or a big investor .

This is very bad for me.

He is so eager to show his favor to me—it seems so, but he actually wants to establish the image of my worst enemy in front of everyone, so that everyone will regard me as an enemy.

He knew that his biggest rival was me, and without me, the role would definitely belong to him.

The corner of Gu Yang's mouth twitched lightly, and he remembered Zhao Shaoye's words.

"...that Liu Yixin is very duplicity. Be careful with him, he will do anything to get a chance."

In such a short period of time, this statement has been verified.

This is the analysis method that Chu Jinye taught Gu Yang, no matter what time it is - keep calm, constantly chew on the information revealed from the other party's words, and analyze the pros and cons, whoever is the biggest beneficiary is going to mess with you people.

Be vigilant at all times.

The corners of Gu Yang's mouth twitched again, this expression fell into Liu Yixin's eyes, making him palpitate for no reason.

"Next! Liu Yixin!"

When he was called, he naturally couldn't wait. He forced a smile and nodded to the boy, and walked in.

After interviewing for about 10 minutes, he came out again. In fact, Gu Yang's speculation was correct. Liu Yixin has a backer. One of his financial backers is familiar with the big investor of this movie. Give him the news in advance.He was able to hide it from all the small students in the country, and secretly got the opportunity to come and fight for this opportunity.

If he can get this role, his career will undoubtedly go to the next level and open the door to Hollywood.He left those domestic competitors far behind, so he must win.

But Liu Yixin also knew that his biggest enemy was this seemingly talkative boy in front of him.

Gu Yang.

In the eyes of their group of people, Gu Yang is an existence who doesn't want to be mentioned.As early as after he won the Best Actor in Cannes, he became a comparison object used by the entertainment industry to be mean to the traffic niche.When you were showing off your flamboyance and beauty, your acting skills were already outstanding, and you were internationally recognized to win glory for your country. When your fans "Oh, I feel sorry for my brother and got hurt again", their fans have already organized charity to help the homeless. Children donated.When you were working so hard to play bad campus movies about abortion and abortion, someone else's "Things You Don't Know" refreshed the box office of youth films and became the No. 1 candidate for youth films at the moment. Carry the handle.

Are you comfortable living in such a shadow every day?Are you happy?Don't you feel that the air is very oppressive?

Anyway, Liu Yixin is right, he feels especially deeply. When he was struggling to grab a state-owned cosmetics endorsement, he suddenly heard that Gu Yang had already appeared on the cover of "Vogue", recognized an international supermodel as his brother, and won the Dior Favored, expected to become their spokesperson - are you angry?

Moreover, in the theatrical circle that is the coldest and looks down on the entertainment circle the most, it is still Broadway!Even Gu Yang can fight his way out and become the target of praise from the media. Sunflowers don't need to mention how elated they are. The domestic public opinion is that we love Yangyang, and Yangyang is awesome.

For this kind of person who is born to cheat and is not on the same platform as you, Liu Yixin can still remain calm most of the time, otherwise?Out of sight out of mind.But this time is different, he must grab this opportunity!

Regarding the roles in this movie, Liu Yixin thinks that he is still very clear. He has an advantage-he has served as a soldier, and his dance foundation is very good, and he can use a substitute in martial arts. .1, the status of acting school!Fascinated all the little girls to death.Playing the role of a cool, indifferent oriental killer, he naturally thinks it's a no-brainer!

The biggest problem is Gu Yang.Liu Yixin has seen Gu Yang's acting skills before, and he also knows the gap between them. The former is a miracle that he can steal the show if you ask him to act like a fool. It's a death to compete with this kind of person.

However, the biggest advantage of the adult world is that it is never that simple, it is not simple at all, you can always use a variety of methods you are good at to achieve your goals.

Liu Yixin moved his fingers, and with an affectionate smile on his face, he sat aside, waiting for what happened next.

"Next! Gu Yang!"

Gu Yang was called, he got up and walked inside, at this moment, a lady dressed as an assistant came out with coffee, they almost bumped into each other!That cup of scalding coffee spilled out!About to splash on the boy's clothes!

"what!"

Just when the assistant was about to scream, the boy nimbly grabbed the coffee cup and poured back the coffee that overflowed to the brim.In front of the woman's terrified face, he gently put the cup back, and said softly, "Be careful."

The woman's body suddenly stiffened. Looking at the young man's calm and beautiful face, she couldn't help but feel chills running down her spine. She suppressed her nervousness and responded in a low voice.

Gu Yang lowered his eyes and walked into the room calmly. The moment he left, Liu Yixin's lower lip was bitten out of blood.

He knows everything.

When he walked into the room, several gazes came over him. Facing these unfamiliar faces that could determine his future, Gu Yang still didn't have much reaction. He was keenly aware that there was one gaze that seemed not very friendly. .

That's the guy sitting to the right of the center.

"Hello." It was director Pete who spoke, and he personally came to interview these actors.At this time, he looked at the boy and said gently: "Hello, please start your performance, starting from the first scene of the script."

In the first scene, the killer Lin found out that his package had been taken away, and he took the wrong things.

The prop is a seemingly ordinary tennis bag, dark black.When Gu Yang walked in front of it, the interview began.

Killer Lin is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who is the same age as a high school student. Although he is young, he is already a well-known super killer in the underworld. He is nicknamed "Black Scorpion" because every time he performs a task, he is stung like a scorpion. As fast as a person, it will kill a person in seconds.

In private, Lin's personality is not as cold as when he shot. He loves to laugh, eat desserts, tease cats, and watch new Marvel movies.He doesn't live like a real cold-blooded killer, which is also why his reaction when he finds out that his backpack has been taken away and his identity is exposed is very interesting.

Previously, Liu Yixin's performance was completely focused on portraying the indifferent side, turning a blind eye to the hints given to them by the film crew, as if he didn't care. He is used to acting in domestic idol dramas, and the directional thinking is to be cool and fascinate thousands of girls... …

It also misses the true heart of this character.

Gu Yang walked to the backpack, he was about to reach out to open the zipper, suddenly there was a pause, a trace of confusion appeared on his beautiful eyebrows, he frowned, staring at the zipper, it seemed that he had already noticed something was wrong.

'That's right. ’ The assistant director on the side thought to himself, ‘Lin is very sensitive, he found something wrong right away, Liu Yixin missed this point, but this boy didn’t. '

Gu Yang raised his eyebrows higher and higher, he suddenly opened the zipper, staring at the pile of baseball equipment exposed inside, he froze for a few seconds, and then couldn't help but say: "Wow."

This reaction was so cute and realistic that the interviewers present couldn't help laughing.The boy shook his head with a confused look on his face, and he even puffed up his cheeks, looking very angry.

"0.02KG." He said to himself, "OK, I should have thought of it a long time ago. It's all the fault of those FBIs and me. It's too noisy there."

Lin has a special skill, he can accurately measure the weight of the objects he handles. When he was picking up the items, he found that the backpack was lighter, but he was distracted by several FBIs, which led to a huge mistake.

And his current reaction is also an ordinary teenager's reaction. He couldn't hide his childishness. He even took out a piece of strawberry-flavored bubble gum from his pocket, unpacked it, put it in his mouth, and chewed it hard a few times.

At this time, the Blackberry in the bag suddenly vibrated, and Lin's eyes focused on it—this person actually used the same Blackberry as him?He reached out and picked up the phone.

It was a call from the captain of high school student Bill's baseball team. The hot-tempered captain was loudly urging him to come to practice. Lin Jingjing listened to a few words, and after confirming the address, hung up the phone.

"OK." He said to himself: "Seaton Middle School - John Sports Hall - I see, his name is Bill."

A sweet smile appeared on his face again, but this smile made people feel chills for no reason.

"Get rid of Bill, get the backpack back, OK—no problem."

He briskly blew out a big pink bubble, and the bubble popped in the air. He closed the zipper of his backpack, put his mobile phone into his trousers pocket, flicked his hair, and put the backpack on his back. Gone happily, like going to a dinner party instead of killing someone.

Innocent and cruel, sweet and cold-blooded.

killer, Lin.

Young and powerful, the fearsome Black Scorpion.

In just a few minutes, Gu Yang perfectly portrayed the image of a lifelike young killer. He is not so cold, and he loves to laugh, but he makes people feel very cool, so cool, saying that killing people is as easy as drinking water, Just a few words can decide a person's life or death.

It is unforgettable.

"Okay." In the silent interview room, Pete said gently, "Please wait for our news."

Gu Yang nodded, bowed calmly, and walked out.

As soon as he went out, the interview room exploded.

"He's nice..."

"It's the best so far. I looked at the people behind me. It's unlikely that I can beat him..."

"He is the best actor in Cannes, and he came out of Broadway."

"I've seen his The Nightingale and the Rose, and his performance is really good..."

"The popularity in country Z is said to be very high..."

As they discussed heatedly, one person's face became more and more serious, and he finally couldn't help but said: "Enough! We haven't finished the interview yet, be professional! Wait until everyone has finished talking!"

This is not unreasonable, people stopped talking, Pete's eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't say anything.

The assistant continued to call the number, and there were not many interviewees left, and the interview would be over in a while. Now, there is nothing to worry about.

"I read the others, and when I said it, Gu Yang was the best." An interviewer honestly commented: "His basic skills are also pretty good, and he should have a good foundation in dancing, so it's easy to do moves."

This remark caused many people to nod in approval, and someone added: "His reputation is also very good now, suitable for us to promote."

"No." The person who had been objecting said, he leaned forward to reveal the nameplate, which represented the investors, and he said: "Liu Yixin is also very good, and his dancing skills are also very strong. The domestic reputation is no worse than Gu Yang, so I lean toward him."

His words made many people show uncomfortable expressions, but the investor's status is high, and others can't say anything.

The man showed a slightly arrogant expression, and he said: "After all, the most important thing is the box office, oh. And the fit of the characters, I think Liu Yixin played very well, Gu Yang-he is still more suitable stage show."

If he knew that the teacher at Gu Yang University didn't know the boy's talent and thought he was more suitable for movies, he wouldn't be so sure. , a natural screen face, you said he is not suitable for acting in movies?Are you living in a dream?

The words were so funny, everyone sneered, which made the investment representative's expression look bad, and he couldn't wait to say anything more, but Pete had already waved his hand, so he had to calm down temporarily and turn his gaze away

Pitt is a comedy director, and is currently recognized as one of the best-selling directors in Hollywood. It's a solid A-level. If you don't understand what this sentence means, you are too layman.

The right to speak of the investor and the crew is determined based on the comparison between the box office and the amount of investment. If it is a blockbuster movie that burns special effects and requires a lot of props, the investor has a greater right to speak, because they have paid a lot of money, and it is gone. They can't make a movie.If it's that kind of life comedy, it doesn't need a big cost, and the director can make a lot of money, already recognized as a money printing machine in the industry, then there is no doubt that he doesn't need to ask for investors. If you don't want to invest, there are many It is because people are willing to let you contribute to give you face, because you can definitely earn back.

Pete is obviously the latter. This is a funny film that does not require major special effects. The cost budget is less than [-] million, which can be said to be quite low. Compared with his previous box office, the number one actor Thomson's box office Ability, fools know that this movie can't be lost, it's just the difference between earning more and earning less.

So in front of investors, Pete is very tough, as if he looked at the other party now, and a few calm words made the other party's face change.

"For the role of Lin, I prefer Gu Yang."

"To be precise, this role was created for him from the beginning."

"Without him, Lin's role would not be so important."

These three words caused an uproar in the room, everyone stopped their movements and looked over with breathless concentration.

The face of the representative of the investor turned blue. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that he had encountered a restricted area. The key point was that he didn't know anything—he shouted: "This is too funny! You never said that!"

Pete spread his hands, and continued: "If you want to talk about it--no problem. Let's just say it like this, you guys know that in the first draft of the script I submitted, Lin was from M country, until the second draft, I changed the setting."

"Haven't you ever thought about why? Indeed, the box office of country Z is a very important consideration, but the most important thing is that someone suggested that I do this, and I think his request is very reasonable."

The face of the representative of the investor is already a little pale, and someone who can advise a director of Pete's level...

"That's right." In the silence, Pete said: "It's Xu An. I have some friendship with him. He made a suggestion to me. I think it is very reasonable. I also know who he wants me to use. I didn't talk to him. It is necessary for him to make it through."

The name Xu An is also well-known in Hollywood. He not only means the pride of the Chinese, but also means more and closer ties with the Oscars.

Pete has wanted to make a literary film and has wanted to win awards for a long time, so at least he can't make a bad relationship with the academics. The resources in Xu An's hands are unimaginable for ordinary people. He has two Oscars. !Most of the judges are his friends!He'll be a judge too!Not to mention him, Gu Yang is also the darling of the academy. This young man is from a top art university, and the old Yasuo is his mentor. Brushing him out means offending the entire Broadway.Pete didn't need to die like this at all.

What's more, Liu Yixin... a nobody in Hollywood, can he really guarantee anything?Pete has also heard of Gu Yang's box office myth. A literary film can earn [-] million yuan!This is no longer something that can be measured by a simple red star standard. He is definitely a box office guarantee at the national level.

In this way, Thomson is responsible for guaranteeing the bottom line and pleasing the domestic market, and Gu Yang is responsible for opening up the Eastern market and selling it to the academy. It is a perfect configuration, and it is a pleasure to hear and see in various senses.Of course Pete didn't want to change.

The representative of the investor is also aware of this. He also understands the stakes. Others have made it so clear.With a gloomy face, he stopped talking, thinking about how to explain when he returned.

He didn't speak, but the atmosphere got better instead. Pete looked around and said slowly: "Then it's settled, Jenny, give me a cup of coffee."

Jenny answered yes, and was about to go out, when the director said casually: "By the way, fire the new guy, her hand holding the coffee is not steady—"

The expression of the investment representative changed instantly. He took a deep breath and put all those thoughts out of the blue.
