Wen Zhaodong was eating instant noodles in the kitchen. He was not in such a miserable condition, but he was too lazy to get food when he was sad for spring and autumn.

He was eating instant noodles and browsing hot searches on his mobile phone. It was a pity that when he became popular, Weibo had not yet taken off. Otherwise, he should have been on the list often.

Jingle Bell……

The phone in his hand rang, and it was an unfamiliar Beijing number. Although it was most likely an advertisement, Wen Zhaodong answered the call with the expectation of a job invitation: "Hello, how are you?"

"Hello, is this Wen Zhaodong, Mr. Wen?"

Wen Zhaodong was very disappointed when he heard a very nice female voice and a standard sales greeting: "It's me. If it's a credit card or something, I don't need it, thank you."

Yan Ran couldn't laugh or cry: "Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Yan Ran. I am the director of "The Night the Comet Came". I wonder if you have heard of it."

Wen Zhaodong was stunned. Not only had he heard of this movie, but he had also watched it a few days ago. However, he had no illusions about having anything to do with this new director. In his opinion, with the popularity and enthusiasm generated by this movie, Due to his popularity, there must be many investors who want to cooperate with Yan Ran. The artists signed by then will either be top-notch or powerful, so he will never be able to get his turn.

"Are you really Director Yan?" Even though he was older and more senior than Yan Ran, Wen Zhaodong still couldn't help but use honorifics.

"Yes." Yanran explained, "I originally wanted to contact your agent, but I heard from Teacher Peng Hai that you don't have an agent at all now, so I asked for your contact information. I hope I won't disturb you."

Wen Zhaodong said quickly: "No, no, Director Yan, don't be so polite, don't take it seriously, are you looking for me?"

Yan Ran got straight to the point: "I want to ask about your schedule. I will be planning to film a new movie after the year. If your schedule allows, I would like to invite you to star."

"I have no problem." After Wen Zhaodong said that, he realized that he was too impatient and hadn't even read the script.

Sure enough, there would be no decision made just because of his words. Yan Ran smiled and said: "If schedule permits, I can send you the script for a look first. If you are interested, I hope you can come to audition. We will meet then." Talk in detail?”

"No problem." Wen Zhaodong calmed down. With his current popularity and status, it is impossible to get a role without auditioning. It would be good if others can think of him.

But why a new director asked him to play the male lead? There must be no conspiracy, but if you think about it more carefully, now he is not worthy of the other party's calculations.

At this time, he heard Yan Ran ask again: "Then let's add WeChat and I will send you the script?"

"Okay, okay."

Wen Zhaodong and Yan Ran immediately added each other on WeChat, and not long after, he received the script.

As soon as he read the script, he had a general understanding. This was another low-cost movie, a comedy with an interesting concept.

The role he was invited to play was a wealthy and leisurely young boss who was forced by his lover to go back and divorce his wife. He was at a loss as he embarked on his way home, only to meet the second male migrant worker asking for wages. The two had constant misfortunes along the way, but It was precisely because of the twists and turns along the way that he was touched, made important choices in life, and changed his destiny.

After thinking for a long time, Wen Zhaodong felt that he could master this role. In his current situation, someone invited him to play the leading role. He was not qualified to be picky at all. Besides, this script was not bad in his opinion. Maybe it was not as good as "Comet Comes". "That Night" is so brain-burning and not deep, but it is funny and has some warmth, which is already very good.

Having made a decision in his mind, he immediately sent a message to Yan Ran: "Director Yan, I like this role very much and I want to play it. When will we audition?"

Soon he received a reply from Yan Ran: "Are you in the capital?"

"exist."

"Then let's meet first. When is convenient for you?"

"I'll be there any time."

"Then I will send you the address at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

"OK."

After receiving the news, Wen Zhaodong didn't sleep all night. He knew very well that this was an opportunity. It was like pie in the sky. If he missed it, he might not come back again. So he studied the script all night and didn't rest until the morning. After a while, he started to pack his bags early, shaved meticulously, combed his hair, and then went to the agreed place.

Yan Ran made an appointment in a private room of a teahouse. It was quiet and suitable for conversation.

Wen Zhaodong arrived half an hour early, but when he entered, he found that Yan Ran was already there, and there was someone following him.

Before coming here, he searched some things about Yan Ran on the Internet. Of course, even if he didn't search, he would recognize Xu Rui, the most popular young singer at the moment.

"Director Yan, Mr. Xu, hello."

"Teacher Wen, please sit down."

"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it." This title made Wen Zhaodong a little scared.

He politely entered the box, and after sitting down, Wen Zhaodong took the lead and said: "I'm here, Director Yan shouldn't have asked me to audition, right?"

"Let me tell you." Xu Rui said, "When I was writing the theme song for "Dang Jiuzhou", I accidentally saw your performance in it, because I liked "The Confused Detective" very much when I was a child, and I was fascinated by the character you played. The image impressed me so much that I mentioned it to Yan Ran. This also became an opportunity for us to plan a comedy. Naturally, we thought of you as the lead actor.

How important is the leading role to a movie? You should also know that once there is a mistake, the entire movie will be ruined, so we hope to have a general understanding of you. "

Wen Zhaodong understood what it meant as soon as he heard it. He was mentally prepared for this: "You want to know why I disappeared after filming "The Confused Detective" and now I am filming again?"

Xu Rui smiled and said: "We have no intention of prying into your privacy. We just want to know if there are any factors that will affect the release of the movie."

"I understand." Wen Zhaodong was absolutely unwilling to miss this opportunity. Someone offered him an olive branch at this time, and he decided to treat it sincerely. "It's not that I can't say it. I have read the rumors on the Internet, but that At that time, I couldn't clarify it. I was banned by the company.

The reason, of course, was to offend someone, but it was not the rich woman who raised me as rumored. That was a rumor. What I offended was the boss of my previous company. I was young and frivolous at the time, and was a little arrogant.

At that time, I signed a long-term contract with the company, and the company took the lion's share. I worked so hard on the movie and had so much remuneration taken away from me, so I was very unhappy and asked the company to re-sign the contract.

The company agreed verbally, but kept delaying. Once I drank a little too much, so I yelled at my manager and yelled at my boss at home. I thought my manager and I were brothers, but he actually recorded the audio. , I gave it to our boss, so I was banned.

If I made a fuss at that time, the company would sue me and I would face sky-high liquidated damages. I could only wait and wait for the contract to expire, which would take ten years.

It's just that simple. Now that I'm back filming, I don't dare to find an agent. I've been bitten by a snake once and have been afraid of it for ten years.

Therefore, I can guarantee that I have not committed any illegal or disciplinary behavior, and it will not affect the review and release of the film. "
