The villain must spend all his money before he goes bankrupt [Transmigration Book]

Ye Zhou's mentality was more Buddhist since the interview. Of course, he was a little nervous, but he was not so nervous that he didn't think about eating and drinking.

Although Director Sang is really the director he really wants to work with, Ye Zhou believes that he has done the best he can within the scope of his ability. As for the result, whether it is good or bad, it is quite easy to accept .

It has been more than a week since the interview with Director Sang ended that day. I haven't received a reply for so long, and my hope is very slim. Although I have expected it, I still feel a little regretful.

However, he quickly adjusted his mentality. The Antarctic documentary team had obviously missed it, and Ye Zhou simply re-invested in the casting of "Backtracking".

But what makes Ye Zhou feel tired is that so many movies before have gone well, but the casting of this movie seems to be in an endless loop, and he keeps falling off the chain in casting, so let's not talk about others, Ye Zhou himself Both have one head and two big ones.

After all, the movie can't be put on hold for too long. Ye Zhou had no choice but to set a one-month deadline for himself. If he still can't find a suitable actor within this month, then relax the restrictions and choose the best one from the available range. .

After discussing with the screenwriter and other crew members, no one had any opinions. In fact, in their opinion, Ye Zhou's requirements for the actors in this movie were a bit too high.

Not to mention the need for the actor to fit the temperament of the character, but also the acting skills of the other party to perfectly interpret the character of the character, this is really quite demanding.

The acting skills that match the temperament are not necessarily good, and the acting skills are really good, but they may not fit the temperament of the character. It is no doubt that finding a needle in a haystack like this is not so easy.

Everyone didn't understand why Ye Zhou had such high requirements for the actors in this movie, but Assistant Director Meng, who had worked with him many times and had a good relationship with him in private, guessed a thing or two.

Ye Zhou is rushing to compete for awards. No director can resist the affirmation of the outside world. Although Ye Zhou's box office is very high along the way, it only proves the ability of his works to attract money, and everything else proves no.

Movies that make money can prove their commercial value, but not their artistic value.

What's more, although the box office of Ye Zhou's previous films was high, they were also extremely controversial. No matter the industry or the outside world, doubts about him almost never stopped from "A Farce" to "Thriller Circus".

With those previous box office hits, Ye Zhou has already proved to the outside world his ability to attract money, but facing continuous doubts from inside and outside the industry, what he needs most now is not box office, but winning prizes.

It must also be a very important award. Ordinary awards are useless to Ye Zhou. What he needs is the affirmation of several authoritative domestic film festivals.

Assistant Director Meng is considered an old man in the industry. He is familiar with Ye Zhou, so he can clearly see Ye Zhou's current situation and the huge pressure on him.

When the casting was unsatisfactory before, Assistant Director Meng heard other members of the crew complain about Ye Zhou's fuss. He also thought about persuading Ye Zhou not to be too persistent. Now that he has invested so much energy, what if the final result is not as satisfactory? Not too expensive.

Ye Zhou is still young. He is not even 25 years old this year. Although there are so many doubts from the outside world, who else knows Ye Zhou's level better than Assistant Director Meng, who has worked with him many times.

Assistant Director Meng didn't even dare to think about what he could achieve as long as he was given time.

Several times, Assistant Director Meng's words of persuasion came to his lips, but when he met Ye Zhou's serious and firm gaze, Assistant Director Meng opened his mouth, but finally swallowed the words back.

Ye Zhou was young, but in him, Assistant Director Meng felt a talent that couldn't be concealed, but also a maturity that didn't belong to him at his age.

He...wasn't a sudden impulse to figure out what to do, but it seemed that after sufficient preparation, he decided to do it with a certain degree of certainty.

Since he already had arrangements and plans in mind, Assistant Director Meng swallowed the words of persuasion again, choosing to trust him and any decision he made.

Ye Zhou really thought about taking "Backtracking" as an award, because if this book is well shot, both the plot and the actors will be easy to win. The big prize may not be won, but the small prize should be fine.

It's a pity that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. He thought about all kinds of difficulties that the film might encounter, but he didn't think that it would be the actors.

During this period of time, Ye Zhou was almost bald. He was researching while eating, watching TV, and even sleeping at night.

Hard work pays off, one afternoon, when Ye Zhou was watching a movie, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Ye Zhou's mind, and a figure appeared.

The protagonist is Cheng Ran.

His appearance is [-]% similar to the hero in the story, but his temperament is slightly worse, but temperament can also be cultivated.

As for acting skills, if Ye Zhou remembers correctly, in the original plot of this dog-blood novel, after Cheng Ran and Jiang Yu broke up, they met the actor Zhong Bai on the plane, and since then they have been behind the scenes. Previously, relying on the super high acting skills under the golden finger bonus, not only became popular abroad, but also won many awards after returning to China.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou suddenly had a bold idea in his heart...

"What did you say?" Cheng Ran wondered if there was something wrong with his ears when he heard Ye Zhou's voice on the phone, otherwise how could he have said such amazing words.

Ye Zhou was taken aback by his shocked tone, and said, "Calm down, it's just an audition, if you don't want to come, forget it, I'll just ask casually."

Cheng Ran's chest heaved violently, as if he wanted to say something, but after holding it in for a long time, he could only say, "Ye Zhou, have you... been stimulated by something?"

"I have a good psychiatrist. I will send you the contact information later. Don't delay if you are sick. The most important thing is to see a doctor as soon as possible. Avoiding medical treatment is not good."

Ye Zhou: "..."

You have the disease!

Ye Zhou tapped his head, and he also blamed himself for having a moment of brain fever, and actually mentioned this matter to Cheng Ran.

After typing, he organized his language, and said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, then I'm fine, do you have anything else, I'll hang up if I'm fine."

There was silence on the phone for a long time, and Cheng Ran didn't speak for a long time, and the whistling wind coming from the receiver from time to time was very obvious.

Ye Zhou "Hello" several times without getting a response, and just as he was about to hang up the phone, he heard Cheng Ran's voice coming from the receiver.

Cheng Ran's voice sounded very different from usual, a little hoarse and a little dazed.

"Are you serious about what you said just now?"

Leaving Jiang Yu and going abroad alone, a completely strange city, strange environment, and strange people undoubtedly made Cheng Ran very uncomfortable.

The most difficult thing is not these, the most difficult thing is loneliness.The kind of loneliness that keeps growing from deep inside can drive people crazy.

Cheng Ran tried to find something to enrich himself, divert his attention, and make some new friends, but the idea was good enough, but the reality was very cruel.

He was born in an unfamiliar country, with unfamiliar language and unfamiliar faces. Cheng Ran also had to worry about whether Jiang Yu would find him. Under these various factors, Cheng Ran lived very cautiously.

Every day is like suffering.

He wanted to talk to someone, but he opened the address book and swiped around, only to find that he didn't even have a single person in the country who could talk to him.

He has been with Jiang Yu since he was in college. Jiang Yu has a high-profile personality and never hides his relationship with Cheng Ran. Coupled with Jiang Yu's strong desire to control, Cheng Ran has been around for four years. friend.

After graduating from university, Cheng Ran wanted to go to graduate school, and even got the admission letter from his favorite school, but because of Jiang Yu, Cheng Ran didn't go in the end, but stayed by Jiang Yu's side to help him.

Cheng Ran's position in the company is quite special, and he also holds a lot of power in his hands, but his identity is not right, and Jiang Yu never gives him face in the company. In this case, let alone a friend , Even the office work is very difficult, most of the subordinates are obedient and obedient, all looking at Jiang Yu's face.

Cheng Ran rummaged through it, and was so bored that he made a list. Later, due to various reasons, he deleted the names on the list one by one, and what remained was Ye Zhou who was added by him at some point.

What a failure, what a pathetic.

After going around for more than 20 years, the only person who can speak with confidence without worrying about his whereabouts being leaked to Jiang Yu turned out to be the enemy he had targeted for so long.

Cheng Ran's backbone made him not want to and couldn't call Ye Zhou, but he was so lonely, he really wanted to talk to someone, even if he scolded him, sprayed him and mocked him, he was really, too lonely.

Before making this phone call, Cheng Ran felt that heaven and man were at war, and after a few days of struggle, he still called Ye Zhou.

Fortunately, Ye Zhou didn't hang up the phone immediately after hearing it was him.

He even... opened his mouth and invited himself to audition for his film.

Cheng Ran didn't know how to describe his current mood. His rationality told him that Ye Zhou's move was to humiliate himself and take revenge for the things he did before.

But there is a voice in my heart saying, he won't, he won't do that.

why?Cheng Ran also couldn't understand why he thought Ye Zhou was a good person, but subconsciously, Cheng Ran had an inexplicable feeling that Ye Zhou was not that kind of person, let alone would do that kind of thing.

Maybe it's because he is Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou, who was issued a good person card for no reason, was going to hang up the phone, and he had already opened a bag of potato chips to eat, when he heard Cheng Ran's words, he couldn't help but sneered, "Do you think I will talk to you?" Are you kidding, do we know each other well? I'll just joke with you."

When Ye Zhou said this, he was ready for Cheng Ran to lash out at him, and was researching how to fight back so as not to lose the wind, but what he didn't expect was that Cheng Ran was not angry.

"Can I...?" Cheng Ran held his breath and asked cautiously.

Seeing that Cheng Ran didn't intend to go to war, Ye Zhou temporarily put aside the words of counterattack that he had thought of before, and said, "I don't know if it is possible, but your appearance and role overlap quite well."

"I remember that your major in college is acting. How about it? Do you remember what you learned before?"

Ye Zhou's question seemed to suddenly light up something long ago, and Cheng Ran's dusty memories gradually came to mind again because of Ye Zhou's words.

Cheng Ran was in a daze for a moment before he finally realized what those things that had been sealed away by him for many years were.

That was... his dream.

At the beginning, he loved Jiang Yu so much that he could give up everything, because Jiang Yu said that he needed his help, so he resolutely tore up the admission letter of his favorite school, gave up the major he had studied for four years, and gave up the sparkling dream of becoming an actor. Meng Meng resolutely turned to the backstage and became the person behind Jiang Yu.

Performance, how long has it been since he heard someone mention this word in his ear?

It's been too long, it's really been too long, so long that Cheng Ran himself can't remember.

Ye Zhou fell into a long silence while listening to the phone. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't have to worry about it. If you are interested, you can try it out. If you are not interested, you don't have to..."

"I go."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Ran interrupted him. The sentence almost came out of his mouth, and even Cheng Ran didn't realize it for a long time after he finished speaking.

Ye Zhou originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect Cheng Ran to agree.

Thinking of Cheng Ran's current situation, Ye Zhou pondered for a moment, and then said in a drawn out voice, "You can't go back to the country..."

"I can, I can go back." Cheng Ran said without thinking.

These words were too impulsive, Cheng Ran couldn't remember how many years he hadn't had such an impulse, but this time, only this time, he wanted to go, he wanted to seize this opportunity, he thought, give it a try.

This time Ye Zhou felt that the person with brain problems had become Cheng Ran. He rubbed his brows and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think Jiang Yu is a vegetarian? Although his ability is not as good as before, he can still deal with you." Chuo Chuo..."

"I can handle it!" Cheng Ran gritted his teeth and interrupted, as if he was afraid that Ye Zhou would say "forget it" in the next sentence, "At worst, I'll return the money to him."

Ye Zhou: "..."

For a moment, Ye Zhou didn't know how to comment on Cheng Ran's remarks like Shi Lezhi's.

When Ye Zhou was silent, Cheng Ran panicked. He wanted to say something, wanted to tell Ye Zhou again that he could go, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say a word.

Ye Zhou was stunned when he heard the choking and sobbing on the phone, "Hey, hey, are you crying?"

Cheng then realized that his face was a little wet, he hurriedly reached out to wipe it off, but he was really wronged recently, the tears were like a faucet turned on, no matter how much he wiped it off, he couldn't clean it off.

On the mouth, he still flaunted his pretentiousness, and said stubbornly: "No, I didn't!"

Ye Zhou heard that the crying voice on the phone was really loud. He scratched his head, hesitated for about ten seconds, and spoke with a bit of suspicion in his voice.

"You really want to audition? Don't be kidding me."

Cheng Ran shook his head while wiping his tears, "I, I really want to go."

Ye Zhou has always been soft rather than hard, if Cheng Ran showed a tough attitude, then Ye Zhou must be right, but now Cheng Ran is crying!He actually made the protagonist of this book cry!

Ye Zhou, you are so damn good!

He scratched the dull hair on his head, and said in a irritated voice, "Okay, okay, isn't it just an audition, try it if you want to."

"Send me your latest schedule and address, and I'll bring someone over to find you for a try, so the head office will be fine!"

"How old is she and she still cries, it's not ashamed."

"Look at your good luck!"
