From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

In the conference room, there was a middle-aged man with gray hair sitting in a ponytail.

He was smoking puff after puff of cigarette, completely ignoring the "No Smoking" sign on the upper right.

It can be vaguely seen from his appearance that he should have been in good shape when he was young, but I don't know whether it is the impact of many years in prison that has not been eliminated, or whether it is due to his own personality. Wu Jian's eyebrows vaguely reveal a certain

It has a sinister and vicious smell, which makes it seem a bit off-limits to strangers.

So except for the employee who brought him into the conference room and handed him a cup of tea, everyone else walked around the conference room intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were afraid of being stared at by him.

When Ding Zhi and Zou Yutong followed Liang Qiong to the conference room, they both looked at each other in surprise.

Is Wu Jian this person?

Isn't this... Wu Jian's bodyguard?

The two of them were indeed a little surprised by Wu Jian's appearance and temperament.

It's not that his honor is so terrifying, but because the book Ding Zhi and Zou Yutong got was actually a romantic literary film.

Looking at the puffed-up "big brother" in front of me, if he had a big tattoo on his arm, others would think it would be more reliable than a movie director saying that he is the boss of a certain society.

No matter how bad it is, if you direct a gangster movie, it will look more professional and relevant, right?

Who would have thought that this director would be a romantic and artistic film.

The intensity of the contrast is comparable to the female bodhisattvas on Twitter.

Sensing someone coming in, Wu Jian looked at the cigarette in his hand, and then he thought about putting it out.

There was no ashtray on the conference table at this moment. Wu Jian was a little helpless and held the cigarette butt between his hands for a moment. The next second he directly pressed the cigarette butt between his two fingers with his left hand and actually stubbed it out manually.

This move directly made Liang Qiong and Miss Zou's eyes twitch.

Zou Yutong even took half a step back unconsciously, half a step behind Ding Zhi. This was a subconscious attempt to seek Ding Zhi's protection.

"Ah! I'm sorry! I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I accidentally fell into the old habit of smoking."

Wu Jian apologized repeatedly.

Compared with his somewhat terrifying appearance and temperament, this man's voice has a somewhat mellow flavor, which to a certain extent resolves his aura of being unapproachable by strangers.

"Hello, Director Wu, I am Liang Qiong from the Artist Management Department of Huansong Media."

Wu Jian quickly stood up, put the pinched cigarette butt into his pocket, reached out and took Liang Qiong's outstretched hand with his right hand.

"I am Ding Zhi and Zou Yutong, artists from our company, and I am also the male and female protagonist of Director Wu's play."

Ding Zhi then met Wu Jian's eyes.

Naturally, Wu Jian didn't see any clues, but Ding Zhi saw that Wu Jian was somewhat unsteady in his heart, so whenever he looked at someone, he would dodge first and talk to the "big man" who was obsessed with something just now.

They suddenly looked like two people.

"Okay, I've brought them here. Director Wu and Ding Zhiyutong, please see if there's anything you need to communicate with. I'll go and get busy in advance."

After Liang Qiong said a few words, she had something to leave first.

"Have you two read the script?"

After Liang Qiong left, the three of them sat in the somewhat empty conference room and started communicating.

Wu Jian was simply having an awkward conversation.

Of course they have read the script, otherwise the two of them would not have accepted the role, right?

Ding Zhi not only read the script, but even studied it carefully.

Love scenes are probably the most "subversive" genre that Ding Zhi has created since filming.

At this time, Ding Zhi will no longer be a "bitter and bitter" character, but will have a two-hour love affair with the heroine played by Zou Yutong.

"The heroine is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, right?" Gu

Zou Yutong said that in addition to his doubts about the intimate scenes in the script, he obviously liked the script more and more the more he read it.

I don’t know the script by heart, but I also have a relatively in-depth understanding of all aspects.

This scene, which was originally called "The Eraser in My Brain," actually drives the main line of the plot very simply.

The heroine, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease at a young age, is the biggest background setting point and all points of conflict in the entire story.

There is no story depth, no strong twist, but a common love story.

And this is precisely where the skill is most evident, especially for a literary film.

This is true for both the director and the leading actor. It is much more difficult to tell a good story from the most bland than from a thrilling and ups and downs plot.

After a conversation, director Wu Jian already had a certain understanding of the two leading actors.

It is difficult to find a true sense of reality based solely on resumes and past film and television dramas. This is why he asked to meet the two leading actors first - even if the deal has already been settled by this time, even if he has ideas about casting.

If you are not satisfied, there is no way to replace it.

Fortunately, Zou Yutong's appearance and understanding of the role are quite in line with Wu Jian's expectations for a heroine. As long as her acting skills are not too stretched, then this role will not be a big problem.

On the contrary, Ding Zhi had some headaches...

In fact, Zou Yutong, who has only met the audience as a character in "Peeping", is still considered a newcomer in the film and television industry.

In essence, Ding Zhi belongs to the type of actor who has already proven his acting skills.

The Knife in "Eight Hundred", Zheng Zhi in "Peeping", and He Guozheng in "Cold War 2".

For ordinary actors, if they are not very lucky, it may take several years to have a role that the audience will remember for a long time, but Ding Zhi has already had three roles in less than two years.

So Ding Zhi's problem does not lie in his acting skills, nor does it lie in his inaccurate understanding of the role.

On the contrary, it is Ding Zhi who has his own opinions on controlling the entire story of the script.

This is a bit fatal for Wu Jian.

Just like now, Ding Zhi was discussing a very detailed issue with him.

"Director Wu, there is a place in the script that is a bit unclear. Did the heroine herself not know about the disease at the beginning?"

"That's right, I don't know. In fact, the male protagonist and the female protagonist's family just started hiding it from each other."

"Hey! This is it!"

Ding Zhi hit his palm with his fist.

"If a person suffers from other diseases of body organs, then the plot of the male protagonist hiding it from the female protagonist together with his family and doctors is quite reasonable.

But the heroine suffers from Alzheimer's disease, which is a memory problem.

If there is a deviation in a person's memory, shouldn't she be the first to notice it?

For example, if I eat over and over again, don’t I know if my stomach is full?

It’s very difficult to hide this.”

The most fatal thing is that sometimes Ding Zhi's views are quite to the point.

As for "The Eraser in My Brain", Wu Jian has longed for a turnaround. In order to attract investment and distribution channels, he handed over the right to select the male and female protagonists, so the control over the crew is the only thing he still has.

The part that I can fully grasp.

Now that he saw Ding Zhi being so skilled, Wu Jian had an ominous premonition.

However, Wu Jian looked at Ding Zhi's overly young appearance and felt a little reassured, it shouldn't be a big problem.

At this time, Wu Jian was obviously somewhat out of touch with the information in the industry. He didn't seem to know that the young man in front of him had just finished supervising the production of a high-quality drama.
