Chapter 152 - Offer A Melody
ZhangWentian has been inactive for nearly ten years, and is still a well-knowndirector domestically and internationally.
Therefore,the comeback of this great director will inevitably attract the attention ofall parties, even if he had made blockbuster films that made a loss. With hisfame and connections, it is easy to attract enough investment.
The bigstars in the film and television industry, plus the stakeholders of investors, willinevitably want to compete for roles in this new film. Even if it is a smallrole, they will fight for it.
It doesn’tmatter if the film loses money. Zhang Wentian’s works always have the traditionof partic.i.p.ating in foreign exhibitions and have won many awards. Who doesn’twant to walk the red carpet at those high-profile film festivals?
So even if theyare paid less, many people are willing to not mind it as long as they got moreappeal.
As anewcomer, an independent artist and a singer, Lu Chen has no qualification topartic.i.p.ate in such a game. His influence and connections in the industry arestill too small.
If itweren't for today’s chance coincidence that let him use an absolutely cla.s.sic“A Man Should Strengthen Himself" to move this great director, even if heused his connection to ask for a small role, it may not be available!
Now, ZhangWentian took the initiative to give Lu Chen a small supporting role, which wasa pleasant surprise!
Lu Chen has.e.xperienced three lives in the dream world. Among them, Mo Ran is a verytalented actor. Unfortunately, his star luck is not good, he has always been ina supporting role and has never been a very popular.
This part ofMo Ran's life has given Lu Chen a different feeling for the actor. He once madea vow in his heart that he would realize Mo Ran’s long-cherished wish in hisown world and become a real protagonist.
However,rice has to be eaten bit by bit, and the road should be taken step by step. If oneruns too fast, it is easy to harm oneself1, and Lu Chen doesn'twant to harm himself.
Therefore,he started his career with pop music, and waited until he had acc.u.mulatedenough before moving on to film and television
Because ofthis good mentality, Lu Chen had never thought of asking Zhang Wentian for arole just now.
The script,the crew, and the actors were all in place. Wouldn't it be embarra.s.sing if hewanted to force himself in?
It would befoolish to arouse Zhang Wentian's disgust.
Lu Chen wasalready satisfied to have his work be the theme song of the film.
However, theworld is full of wonder. He didn't desire or demand anything, but ZhangWentian, in turn, wanted to return the favor.
Even if itwas a small supporting role, Lu Chen was overjoyed and agreed withouthesitation.
Actingcontentious and reserved at this time would be silly, right?
Lu Chen’sjoy and excitement made Zhang Wentian smile - that’s right.
If Lu Chencan remain calm and unmoved under such circ.u.mstances, then he really has todoubt whether the former is a reincarnation of an old monster, or whether hisreputation has declined to the point where he can't impress a young new artist.
The directornodded and said, “Let’s talk about the script, the acting contract, and thecopyright transfer of your work.” Your part is in the latter part of themovie, so you have plenty of time to learn some acting skills and performwell!”
Unless asinger is a professional actor, otherwise acting is a big problem. Although LuChen’s character only has few scenes, he can’t be careless and just rely on hisface to muddle through.
Regardless whethersomeone is a big shot or a newcomer, Zhang Wentian’s requirements are strictand serious.
Lu Chen saidgladly, “No problem. I will try my best to learn.”
With Mo Ran’slife memories, he has the ability to do the role of the protagonist. A smallsupporting role was naturally easy.
But in frontof Zhang Wentian, Lu Chen cannot show too much self-confidence. It was right tobe modest.
Zhang Wentiannodded and said, “As for the arrangement of this song, and the soundtrackof the film…”
Lu Chenhurriedly said: “In terms of music arrangement and soundtrack, this junior’sability is lacking.”
Are youkidding me? A soundtrack to a blockbuster is a big deal. He is still veryself-aware.
