China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 225 Can handsome people be eaten as food? (2-in-1)

Chen Jingxing's choice of Yan Xiaoyue as the heroine of "The Matrix" really wasn't out of consideration for his feelings for his old friend, or maybe it wasn't entirely.

The first part of "The Matrix" has a lot of scenes for both the male and female protagonists, and there are a lot of fighting scenes, so it's best to give priority to fighting women. Even if they are not fighting women, it is best to be played by actors with fighting experience and good results.

And it’s not enough to be able to shoot high-quality fighting scenes. He also needs to be young, handsome and beautiful. He also needs to conform to the aesthetic style of "The Matrix". He can act cool and wear a black windbreaker. He is handsome enough.

It's so cold and beautiful.

Even though there are so many Chinese celebrities, it’s really hard to find one that meets the requirements.

If you can't choose from well-known actors, then you have to choose from unknown 18th-tier artists. But unknown 18th-tier artists definitely don't have much experience in filming. How about playing a movie without being able to watch the video? So Chen Jingxing and the producer

Wang Peng decided to find actors with martial arts or dance skills.

Many actors who are good at fighting scenes actually have dance skills, and actors who have studied dance are more likely to get started and perform movements designed by martial arts.

This is the principle set by the casting of the male protagonist, and the female lead Chen Jingxing actually thought of Yan Xiaoyue very early on.

In particular, Yan Xiaoyue has filmed three martial arts dramas. The last one was not a big splash, but her performance in the first two, especially the first "Yue Nv Sword", was very amazing and attracted a lot of fans.

The figure and movements are very beautiful. Although the number of fighting scenes is not as good as that of the heroine Ah Qing, Yan Xiaoyue's few action scenes left a very deep impression on the audience.

Lu Hongzhe quickly woke up from his daze: "No, no, no, Brother Cao, I'll be at the company right away!" After that, he ran out the door.

Lu Hongzhe rolled his eyes and took off his hat, took off his coat, picked up his chopsticks and knocked on the table: "Do you think I am the same as you? I have evolved from a transparent child to an 18th-line star. If the rules are not so strict, everyone will be admitted.

I can’t get through this door.”

It can be seen that although Lu Hongzhe's acting career has recently reached a new level, he still has anxiety. After all, he is no longer a fresh young man in his early twenties. Although his appearance is still at its peak, if he still wants to progress in his career, he should stay.

The time given to him was not ample, and late bloomers were rare.

"Go, go, go. When I get rich, I'll kick you out with my first kick."

He mechanically picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, but the aroma was completely gone, and only the strong sour taste stirred between his lips and teeth...

After the laughter, the boy with a round head asked Lu Hongzhe again: "Lao Donkey, what is your next drama? Are you still in the Internet University?"

After several years of hard work after graduation, he finally thought that he was better than Lu Hongzhe. Huh, isn't it just that he looks handsome? He has poor acting skills and can also play the leading actor. Even if he is the leading actor in the Internet University, he has filmed so many movies.

I have played a leading role, but fortunately there are still knowledgeable people in this industry, and it is not all about looks.

So what if he is handsome? Can he be a living thing? How many years can he stay in the online drama circle?

"Brother Cao, I'm having a gathering with my old classmates. I..."

Just as Lu Hongzhe was trying to organize his words to say no, his phone suddenly rang, and the harsh sound made the crowd suddenly fall silent.

Lu Hongzhe felt disgusted after hearing this, and quickly covered his heart: "Yingzi, if your words spread, I will be torn apart by my fans. My acting career has finally improved, so don't hurt me, you bunch of unscrupulous people!"

Lu Hongzhe did not hide it: "The company wanted me to continue filming the Internet, but I refused, mainly because I am over 25 years old, and my acting skills are not good, and my agent feels that I can no longer

If you continue to stay in the circle of Internet University, you must seize the time to develop into film and television dramas, otherwise the opportunities will become less and less.

Zhao Baogang is a well-known director in China. He has directed a series of well-received and well-received TV series. He is especially good at urban themes and has made countless celebrities famous.

"Brother Xiang is indeed an actor. I would say that being a director depends on his ability. No matter how many fans Wu Tingxuan has, can Director Bao Gang like him?"

He and Lu Hongzhe are the best among this group of people. He even considers himself to be higher than Lu Hongzhe. Although he has never played a leading role, he has just filmed a star drama with average ratings, but his performance is very good.

He is eye-catching, and his acting skills have been praised by many netizens. Now he considers himself an actor, and he is vaguely different from Lu Hongzhe.

"Hey, old donkey, you act like a big star. Are you afraid that fans will ask you for autographs?"

As for clothing, Yan Xiaoyue also has a good figure and can definitely support the strong style of black leather jacket and black windbreaker.

"Look at Wu Tingxuan, he's not very good at dancing, he doesn't even have the core strength, his voice is too loud, and his singing skills are at the bottom of their group. He's not good at anything, and he only relies on his face to gain so many fans.

, the male lead who is starring in a commercial blockbuster as soon as he makes his debut, this industry is hopeless." A man dressed in artistic clothes and wearing a Japanese-style bun shook his head and sighed, his tone full of "unappreciated talent."

"Hey, but if there is anyone among us who is expected to become traffic, I think it must be Brother Lu. If Brother Lu becomes prosperous in the future, don't forget the friendship between the two of us!" Another boy joked with a smile.

"Brother Lu and I still have a bedfellowship."

Don't be dissatisfied. This role is not a minor one. The scenes are also very heavy and the lines are not heavy, so it is not difficult to perform. I think you can definitely do it. After all, this is a star drama directed by Zhao Baogang. It is not as big as the online drama.

At the same level, if you drink this glass of wine, I will call Director Baosteel right now!"

Lu Hongzhe looked like a rich man and patted his chest: "No problem, as long as you don't order Ausong Lafite Moutai, sea abalone and shark's fin, etc., I'll pay for it."

"Brother Xiang, when you get rich, don't forget us old classmates."

The boy with a round head nodded: "So the traffic is still large. Luo Chen didn't have such good resources when he returned to China. They were all low-cost literary films. He had to wait for several years to get Chen Jingxing's resources. This batch of idols returned to China.

The first one is the male protagonist of a commercial film. It seems that traffic will really be king in the film and television industry in the future, and it will be increasingly difficult for actors to get ahead."

Those who do not do well will naturally keep a low profile and "listen" as their first priority. Those who do well will inevitably talk more, "show off" in a complaining way, and then criticize the current industry status quo.

.

After being toasted with a round of drinks, the man with the round head was slightly drunk. He looked at Lu Hongzhe with a red face and asked in surprise: "Old donkey, it seems that you haven't drank. I remember that you were a good drinker in the class. Stop drinking.

Already?"

In a restaurant in Beijing, Lu Hongzhe, wearing a cap and sunglasses, opened the door to a private room. There were already more than a dozen people in the private room, both men and women.

"I don't care if you are partying with the King of Heaven! DreamWorks has sent you a film contract. It's Chen Jingxing's new movie, and it's the male lead. The company's boss, Mr. Xing, is waiting here. Wait, you don't know how to drink, do you? Then you

Tell me where you are now and I will pick you up!"

"Xiao Zhe, I don't care what you are doing now, go back to the company immediately!"

As soon as he opened the box door, he turned back and picked up his coat and sunglasses: "I'm sorry, everyone. Brother Xiang, please put the money in advance. I will transfer the money to you via WeChat later. I will treat you next time to make amends to everyone!"

After the call was connected, the agent's capable and somewhat excited voice came from the mobile phone.

A girl with short hair had a different opinion: "What you said is wrong. In terms of face, how is our donkey brother worse than Wu Tingxuan? With his sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, I think he is more handsome than Wu Tingxuan, and on the same level as Lu Han, but Lu Han's temperament is slightly softer, not as good as

Donkey brother is very handsome."

Lu Hongzhe sat back helplessly and made a silent gesture: "He is my agent."

There are too few high-quality projects now, and they are often pre-determined before any news is heard. Casting is also based on traffic. I am not good at it, and those who are not trafficked and not powerful are the most embarrassing."

The blush on Wanzitou's face has disappeared. He doesn't know whether the alcohol has gone down or whether it has gone into his brain. He sat down a little embarrassed. Although he saw from the corner of his eye that no one was looking at him, he felt that they were all looking at him.

Taking a peek at him.

Lu Hongzhe quickly protected the cup: "No, no, Brother Xiang, it's mainly because I drove here and couldn't drink."

My next drama will be a collaboration with director Zhao Baogang. It is a professional drama about a doctor. I am the second male lead in it. Director Baogang saw my performance in the previous drama and thought my performance was pretty good.

I was called to join the group."

Dance academies are also the cradle of stars,

But after all, there are specialties in the industry, and they are still far behind Beijing Film and Television. So far this year, Lu Hongzhe can be considered to be at the forefront in terms of "money career". He has starred in several online movies so far.

Of course, most of them were supporting roles in dramas and online movies. Until the beginning of the year, when he filmed a martial arts online movie called "Sword of Death", he finally made a splash as the male protagonist - mainly because of his good looks and handsome actions.

It's a circle, but there's nothing outstanding about his acting.

The more Lu Hongzhe pushed him away, the more he wanted to force him to drink, as if this could prove that he had finally overcome him. Starting from the Beijing Dance Academy, Lu Hongzhe was the class leader and even department leader of his class. He was the most popular among girls, and he was also the top student in professional classes.

He is number one in the class, and he has the upper hand in everything he does.

"What are you talking about? The old donkey himself is a little fresh meat."

The ball head waved his hand: "Look at what you said, it seems like no one came by car. The girls all drank. You are a big man and you are so coy. Don't imitate those sissies like Wu Tingxuan and Lu Han. I will pay for it."

Please hire a driver for everyone!”

Most of the people present here are Lu Hongzhe's old classmates at Beijing Dance Academy. This gathering can be regarded as a class dinner.

In addition to eating and drinking when old classmates get together, they will naturally also talk about their respective careers, emotional lives and other recent developments.

The man with the round head advised in a life mentor's tone: "Don't be too picky. Some movies are good. It's best to take advantage of the 'golden period of appearance' to produce more works and hone your acting skills. Don't always think about the leading role and supporting roles."

Yes, once your acting skills are honed, gold will always shine.

After Chen Jingxing personally notified and decided on the heroine, producer Wang Peng also basically finalized the candidate list of male protagonists.

"I just got another new news from DreamWorks." The agent looked at Lu Hongzhe, who was a little dizzy along the way, with indescribable excitement on his face: "Director Chen's new project is a trilogy.

!So this time the contract is signed for three films.”

"Bang!" All the old classmates raised their middle fingers.

Some girls shouted: "The big star wants to treat me today."

Lu Hongzhe nodded mechanically.

…

Although it is a costume drama and may not match the character sketch of "The Matrix", Yan Xiaoyue has a modern costume in "Comet". Although there are no action scenes, a slight change of hairstyle can definitely hold the aura of the heroine of "The Matrix".

So after watching the fight scenes in Yan Xiaoyue's three dramas with producer Wang Peng, both of them agreed that Yan Xiaoyue would play the heroine of "The Matrix", and Chen Jingxing also rejected Wang Peng's proposal to pick two more candidates.

, there is no need to compete for the heroine, Yan Xiaoyue is very suitable.

Maybe it was because alcohol was on his brain that Wan Zitou took out his cell phone on the spot after he finished speaking. As soon as Lu Hongzhe drank the glass of wine and "bowed to him", he immediately called the "familiar" director Zhao Baogang.

"Do you know what a trilogy is?"

Everyone looked at the open door of the box, and some of them didn't come back to their senses. After a long time, a voice laughed dryly: "It can't be that he and the agent have discussed it, right? If you can escape by phone, just use the phone to escape. If you need it, keep it up."

What's Chen Jingxing's new movie, and it also has the male lead, haha, haha..." The voice became smaller and smaller.

Lu Hongzhe was about to refuse the glass of wine when he went out to answer the phone in the corridor. He had been standing with his cell phone waiting for Lu Hongzhe to drink, which made him feel embarrassed. The alcohol was further raging in his brain. Seeing that Lu Hongzhe was about to go out.

, hurriedly shouted: "Yang Chen, fat man, hurry up and hold on. Our old classmates finally get together like this, and we don't want to get away with the phone."

Sure enough, as soon as the name Zhao Baogang came out, everyone immediately exclaimed. No matter what he thought in his heart, he still had to praise and congratulate him on the surface. If someone becomes prosperous, you can benefit a lot from just a little help.

"No, I heard that "Fantasy City" is still a trilogy. For such a big project, a person with no acting experience is allowed to be the leading actor. Now the film company only cares about his face and traffic?"

The acting skills are also very eye-catching, even surpassing the other two main female characters, and she vividly interprets the dignity and sassiness of a princess of a country, as well as her courage to love and hate.

"Brother Xiang, okay, you can start acting in director Bao Gang's play without saying a word!"

When there are more people, there will definitely be no shortage of fools to make noises, without exception. As soon as Wan Zitou said these words, there were naturally people who made noises and grabbed Lu Hongzhe.

So I’ve been looking for a script recently. I originally talked about playing the second male lead in an ancient puppet project. The agent thought the role was quite attractive to fans, but I was rejected. I contacted another online drama two days ago, but I wasn’t too interested in the script.

Satisfied, we are still talking.

"Hey, don't tell me, the old donkey looks a lot like a young guy wearing sunglasses."

"I suddenly remembered that there is an actor for an intern in this drama who has not yet been decided. If you want this role, I have a good relationship with Director Baogang. I will talk to the director to see if I can give him this role.

you.

"You know nothing. Do you know how many movies Luo Chen has collaborated with Chen Jingxing? Two! Do you know the meaning of three movies? Even if you are a pig, he can make you a big star! This time is an audition, an audition

It means there will still be variables, but you absolutely cannot let the variables happen, understand? Otherwise, Xing will always eat me first, and then eat you! I am not an alarmist."

Lu Hongzhe was a little concerned about gains and losses: "But Chen Jingxing should have relatively high requirements for acting skills, right? He has criticized Wu Tingxuan before. Although my acting skills are not bad, they are not very good either."

The agent looked at Lu Hongzhe with the expression of a billionaire lottery winner: "Do you think Director Chen Jingxing chose you because of your acting skills? You don't have to worry about this. Remember when I first signed you,

Are you asking me why I think you have a 'money path'?"

"In this day and age, handsome people can be your bread and butter!"
