Chapter 37 Actress Blocks Door Late at Night
Soon, it was the afternoon of the third day.
For No Man's Land, the interview process at the Beijing Film Academy had reached its final stage.
Over the past few days.
Chen Zhou also gained quite a lot.
For example, in the movie "No Man's Land", there is a character who is the owner of a gas station convenience store.
The character is a shrewd businessman, and the actor Chen Zhou found who was a good fit was Gao Ye.
She was Zhu Yilong's classmate.
In her previous life, Gao Ye was the type who accumulated experience and talent gradually, and it wasn't until she played the role of the eldest sister-in-law in "Raging Storm" that she truly became famous.
As for the other roles, Chen Zhou is still considering them.
After finishing my work at Nortel.
Zhu Yilong treated Chen Zhou to dinner at a food stall across from the school.
"Yilong, what have you been busy with lately? Have you taken on any new roles?" Chen Zhou asked.
"No." Zhu Yilong shook his head. "My teachers at school told me not to be too eager for quick success and not to continue acting just because I've become popular. They told me to focus on my studies at school. So apart from filming GG, I haven't taken on any new roles."
Hearing this, Chen Zhou felt somewhat helpless. "Are you going to listen to the school teachers or to me?"
"Of course I'll listen to you, Senior Brother. To me, you're like a godfather. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today," Zhu Yilong said solemnly.
"In that case, you should stop attending classes at school for now. For other students, attending classes at school might be a better choice, but for you, your performance style has already matured."
"The longer you study in school, the more your unchanging academic acting style will become a hindrance, making your acting very contrived."
Chen Zhou said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, senior brother. I'll read through all the scripts they sent me and pick out the better ones to act in." Zhu Yilong didn't question Chen Zhou's suggestion at all.
Could a godfather like Chen Zhou possibly harm him?
"Who told you to act in other plays?" Chen Zhou said helplessly.
"What does Senior Brother mean?" Zhu Yilong was a little confused and didn't understand the meaning.
"Let me ask you something first. Some time ago, I applied to the relevant departments to register a film and television studio, which includes signing artists and film and television post-production services. Once my studio is successfully approved, would you be willing to sign with me and become my artist?" Chen Zhou asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yilong slammed his hand on the table. "Alright! Since Senior Brother Chen Zhou thinks highly of me, of course I'm willing to work for him. It's my honor, and I'd love to have such an opportunity. I'd go through fire and water for you, Brother Chen!"
"Good, your senior brother didn't train you for nothing." Chen Zhou was very satisfied.
He then told Zhu Yilong, "I'm giving you the male lead role in my new movie."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yilong was completely stunned.
This sudden news was like a bomb, leaving his mind blank.
For a director as gifted as Chen Zhou, being cast as the male lead in a film is already an incredible stroke of luck.
But now Chen Zhou is telling him that he has another chance to play the male lead in the new movie.
What kind of godfather is this?
They're even closer than a biological father!
"Senior brother, I really don't know what to say. At this moment, I just want to sing you a song, 'A Grateful Heart,' 'Thank You for Being There'..." Zhu Yilong hummed.
"Shut up, or I'll beat you up!" Chen Zhou started cursing.
Around 10 p.m., Chen Zhou returned to his place.
He had just walked a short distance from his house when he saw a woman standing there.
But because the woman was wearing a hat and had her head down, Chen Zhou couldn't see her clearly for a moment.
When Chen Zhou stepped forward and saw the woman's face clearly, he was genuinely surprised.
Speaking of this woman, Chen Zhou's strongest impression comes from one sentence.
"Who is your favorite rapper in 'The Rap of China'?"
"The celebratory drinks are ready for you, but don't get too cocky too soon..."
That's right, the other person is Li Lulu, a rebellious girl who likes to do her hair and also likes rappers.
However, to be fair, given Li Lulu's youthful appearance and voluptuous figure, she would certainly be a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry today.
Furthermore, Liu Xiaolu is now a relatively famous actress. She even won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress in her early career, which puts her ahead of many other actresses of the same period.
As Chen Zhou approached his doorstep, Li Lulu's gaze also fell upon him.
At first, she only stared at Chen Zhou tentatively for a while, but after completely confirming Chen Zhou's identity, she immediately beamed with joy.
"Director Chen! Are you Director Chen?" Li Lulu asked.
Chen Zhou nodded. "What do you want with me?"
Li Lulu was about to speak, but she immediately looked around alertly. When she made sure no one was around, she lowered her voice and said to Chen Zhou, "Can we go inside first? It's not convenient outside."
Chen Zhou hesitated for a moment, then opened the door first and let Li Lulu follow him inside.
No matter what, guests are guests, and since they've already blocked the door, he doesn't mind letting them in and sit for a while.
He wanted to see what Li Lulu wanted from him.
"Director Chen is indeed Director Chen; his taste is so elegant. Look at the layout of this house; it's simply my dream room," said Li Lulu.
However, Chen Zhou didn't actually decorate the rented room much.
He was impressed that Li Lulu could praise him so mindlessly.
Based on basic hospitality, Chen Zhou gestured for Li Lulu to sit on the sofa opposite him, then poured him a glass of water. "So, what do you want to see me about?"
Li Lulu held her water glass in both hands, her eyes fixed on Chen Zhou. "Director Chen, I heard you've been preparing for a new movie lately, and you've been casting at the Beijing Film Academy these past few days. I wonder if you've cast the female lead yet?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou naturally understood.
So Li Lulu came to find him just to secure a role in advance.
"It's not decided yet," Chen Zhou said.
Upon hearing this news, Li Lulu was overjoyed.
"Director Chen, what do you think of my image? I'm available for an interview anytime. Besides, I took a half-day flight here for this interview and waited outside your house for a long time." Li Lulu looked pitiful.
"I'm sorry, but in my expectations, you don't fit the role of the female lead in my new movie," Chen Zhou replied directly.
"How would you know if you didn't try? I won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress in 98, so I have a lot of potential," Li Lulu said, talking about her honors.
"No need to try," Chen Zhou said directly.
Seeing that Chen Zhou was unwilling to give him a chance.
Li Lulu silently got up.
But instead of leaving Chen Zhou's house, she sat down on the sofa opposite him, right next to Chen Zhou!
She took a hair tie from inside her clothes and tied her previously loose long hair into a single ponytail.
Then, with a slightly feverish look in her eyes, she looked at Chen Zhou and asked, "Director Chen, do you know that in chess, there's a piece that can capture an opponent's piece by using another piece?"
