Rebirth and Redemption

"Why?" Arthur looked at Rong Hong.

In fact, in this industry, screenwriters appoint actors, but it is not the norm. What is the reason for this or the inside story is a very sensitive matter.However, those who dare to make such a request are generally relatively big-name screenwriters, and they will have actors they like to use, but a screenwriter like Rong Hong who is too new to make such a request, no matter how you look at it, it should not be.

Rong Hong was silent for a moment, not prepared to lie, and said directly: "I don't want to say too much, but the character attacked in the script is based on Chu Feng."

There was a little surprise in Arthur's eyes, but he seemed to understand the whole story in the next second, and asked: "The other protagonist in the script is based on you?"

Rong Hong didn't expect that Arthur would directly guess this, but since he was guessed, Rong Hong didn't intend to pretend otherwise, so he nodded.

Yin Hao's expression has been very calm, it seems that he has discovered this matter a long time ago.

Arthur laughed. In his country, same-sex marriage has long been legalized, so in the face of this kind of relationship, he is more of a blessing.

"My child, I wish you happiness." Arthur said.

"Thank you." Rong Hong smiled and nodded.

"I can understand how you want Chu Feng to be the protagonist, but this movie is what I want to make. I don't want him to be cast just because he is the prototype. What if he doesn't have enough acting skills to make a film for me? The desired effect is to waste everyone's time. So I want to meet with him before making a decision." Arthur said: "You can not sign this contract until I decide whether to use him. After all, I hope This is a happy cooperation, if Chu Feng is really not suitable, I will not force you to sell me the script. I don't make bad movies, and I don't need bad actors."

As for Chu Feng, Arthur had never heard of this name before.Of course, there are so many actors in the world, it is impossible for him to know each one, let alone be able to name each one.However, seeing that Yin Hao didn't raise any objections, Arthur guessed that Chu Feng should be pretty good, at least he could catch Yin Hao's eyes, which made him a little relieved.

Arthur was willing to give Chu Feng a chance, Rong Hong was very happy and said, "He will not let you down."

"I hope so." Before meeting people and watching his performance, Arthur would not speak too much.

Only then did Yin Hao speak to Rong Xun, "Give Chu Feng's phone number to Mr. Arthur later, and he will contact Chu Feng."

"Okay." Rong Hong didn't need to look at the phone at all, just took the note on the coffee table and wrote down Chu Feng's phone number.

In fact, it would be a pity to give up selling the script because Arthur didn't want to use Chu Feng, but in Rong Hong's view, it would be the most pity if the script was not performed by Chu Feng.

Arthur had other things to do afterwards, so he left first.

Yin Hao brought Rong Hong into the study room, did not raise any objection to his request just now, did not even ask, but took the script submitted by Rong Hong, and began to tell him what needs to be corrected.What I talked about today is all about the general direction, and Yin Hao also made notes with red pen.Some places need to be rewritten or deleted, and some places need to adjust the order or add a little excess.

Yin Hao's comments have always hit the nail on the head, and the language is very concise, so more needs to be done by Rong Hong to think on his own, and this is also an opportunity for Rong Hong to practice.

By the time Rong Hong returned home with his script in hand, it was already evening.Before Chu Feng came back, Rong Hong put down his things and hurriedly changed his clothes and washed his hands, then went to the kitchen to cook.

Chu Feng told him that he would come back for dinner. If he didn't go to Yin Hao's place today, he could sleep until he woke up naturally, and then go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and come back to cook a sumptuous dinner.But now... I can only do what I have at home.

As soon as the rice in the rice cooker was ready, Chu Feng came back.

Rong Hong was mixing cold dishes, when he heard the sound, he stopped what he was doing and walked out of the kitchen, "Are you back?"

"Yeah." Chu Feng entered the door with a smile, then stretched out his arms to hug Rong Hong, and said softly: "Fool..."

Rong Hong blinked, wondering why Chu Feng called him stupid again.

Chu Feng chuckled and said, "Director Arthur called me in the afternoon..."

This sentence seems to explain everything.Rong Hong doesn't know much about director Arthur, but Chu Feng knows very well that Arthur is not a utilitarian director, he wants to shoot what he wants to shoot more.And as long as it is his work, it can be called a boutique, and almost every film has won numerous awards.However, Arthur has always kept a low profile, so if it weren't for Yin Hao's relationship, it would be difficult for Arthur to see this script.

Chu Feng sighed slightly, "I will definitely win this role. You fool actually said that I would not sell it if it wasn't my role. Do you know how many people in this circle dare to say such a thing?"

Rong Hong also knows that it is inappropriate for him to say that, and it may make people feel that he is not flattering, but...

"I'm afraid that Arthur will have an actor he often uses or has already selected. Then you won't even have the chance to audition. In my heart, no one can play this role more realistically than you." Rong Hong said.

"If Arthur doesn't agree, you really won't sell it?" Chu Feng asked with a smile.

"Well, it's not for sale. Even if it can't be made into a movie, I will be very happy to watch it every day." Rong Hong said.

"You..." Chu Feng didn't know what to say, Rong Hong's worries were not unreasonable, and it was precisely because of this that Chu Feng felt sorry for him and cherished him even more...

The next night, Chu Feng went to the reserved restaurant to meet Arthur on time.Arthur came alone, without an assistant.Chu Feng also went alone, without Bai Fei or Rong Hong.

Although Arthur is an internationally renowned director, Chu Feng didn't look very stiff when he saw him. Instead, he greeted him naturally, confident and polite.

Arthur specially asked his assistant to show him the TV series and movies that Chu Feng had acted in yesterday, and the result was really beyond his expectation—Rong Hong was not just recommending actors, Chu Feng’s acting skills were indeed very good, and It is very malleable and has a lot of room for growth.So his impression of Chu Feng instantly improved by dozens of percentage points.

During the dinner, the two didn't talk about movies or scripts, but about love.

Chu Feng's acting skills Arthur has already recognized, and the deficiencies can also be taught later, so there is no pressure.Now let's look at Chu Feng's understanding of feelings, which is necessary for a better interpretation of this role. Even if Chu Feng is the prototype, there will always be something that needs to be shaped.

The two talked in the restaurant for nearly four hours, and they fully reached a cooperation intention, and they will discuss the contract later.

"Rong Hong has a good vision. He said that you will not let me down. Now I believe it." Arthur said.

"Thank you for your affirmation." Chu Feng said.

Arthur breathed out, "Then I can talk with Rong Hong later."

"Rong Hong actually values ​​the opportunity to cooperate with you this time, because he was afraid that I would not have the chance to compete for this role, so he made such a request to you. Please don't blame him." Chu Feng said sincerely.

Arthur laughed and said, "I don't think it's a bad thing for him to introduce you to me. Although I just thought that little guy was interesting at first, it seems that he is still very discerning now."

"I will definitely work hard." Chu Feng said.

Arthur nodded, and Chu Feng settled down. In fact, he was in a good mood, "By the way, do you have any recommendations for the other protagonist?"

Because Rong Hong's recommendations were very successful, Arthur was willing to give them more opportunities to recommend them. In fact, sometimes trust is built in this way.

"You suddenly asked me to recommend it, and I couldn't think of it for a while." This is the truth, and he didn't think about it when he was writing the script with Rong Hong.

"Well, since it's a story about oriental people, it's natural to find oriental faces. I'll ask Yin later to see if he has any good recommendations. You know, the protagonists of my movies are only called when I have seen them and thought the image is suitable. Those who audition, never audition." Arthur said.Because he wanted to maintain the mystery of the film, he did not do extensive publicity in the early stage.

"Well, if Mr. Yin Hao doesn't have a suitable person, you can contact several well-known brokerage companies and ask them to recommend actors." Chu Feng said.In this method, the company usually sends photos of the actors and a few minutes of clips, and if they think it is suitable, they can call for an audition.This is the most commonly used method of selection.

"I don't know much about the brokerage company here, and I'm afraid I will trouble Yin even then." Arthur laughed.

"If necessary, I will be happy to help," Chu Feng said.It is necessary to have a good relationship with the director.

"Okay." Arthur was not polite to him.

After the meal, the guests and the host enjoyed the meal. After the meal, Chu Feng sent Arthur back to the hotel first, and then contacted Bai Fei to talk about the matter.When Bai Fei heard that the matter was settled, he was also relieved, and congratulated Chu Feng.Afterwards, the two discussed the issue of pay.This movie will definitely go international in the end. To Chu Feng, fame is much more important than money. With Arthur's reputation and strength, it is not difficult to win an award.When Chu Feng really became famous internationally, wouldn't it be up to them to decide how much to pay for the film in the future?So there is no need to be greedy for this moment.

In the end, the two decided that it would be fine as long as the increase offered by the other party was suitable for Chu Feng's worth, and there was no need to raise too much.Of course, it is also possible to reduce it appropriately and sell a favor to Arthur.

After that, the life of Rong Hong and Chu Feng became busy again.Rong Hong was busy revising the script, while Chu Feng was busy trying to figure out the roles. The two of them communicated without interfering with each other. From time to time, Chu Feng would pull Rong Hong to rehearse the bed-scene.

Compared with them, Arthur couldn't relax, and even the whole team was very anxious-because they couldn't choose the right actors.

This can't let Rong Hong go to battle in person, can he?Rong Hong is not an actor after all, if he doesn't do it well, he will ruin everyone's reputation.And more importantly, Rong Hong has absolutely no intention in this regard...

Because Yin Hao and Arthur are good friends, Arthur was also invited by him this time, so he participated in almost the whole process of casting, and it is true that he didn't have a favorite, even if he could pass the [-]th grade.Either the temperament is wrong or the acting skills are not good, or the performance is too much, which looks fake and embarrassing.

Another actor was sent away, Arthur plucked his hair, and said to Yin Hao: "If it doesn't work, I can only find actors from other countries, anyway, they can be regarded as Asian faces. But to be honest, I feel like I have lost something in that way." Significance."

Yin Hao nodded, "I don't recommend choosing from other countries. After all, there are problems with national conditions in this movie. Only actors from their own countries can understand and express these. There is still time, so we can pick and choose."
