Chapter 112: Suggestions to the Director
Chu Zhengfei, who was sitting opposite him, heard his laughter and said apologetically, “Actually, I asked my assistant to find many artists. They rejected all the suitable and unsuitable ones. Someone advised me that this role obviously meant sacrificing their image. Inviting them on was equivalent to offending someone. Whether it was a newcomer or a popular person, they wouldn’t accept it. I gradually wanted to give up. Until someone heard the news and recommended you to me. Although you’ve always kept a low profile, you’re not too cautious.”
“I accept.”
Chen Che suddenly interrupted Chu Zhengfei and said calmly.
Chu Zhengfei seemed to be in disbelief. She asked uncertainly, “You mean…”
!!
Chen Che smiled. “I accept. In any case, I’ll be eliminated if I go, right? In fact, I’m just a special guest.”
Chu Zhengfei was overjoyed. Although she had a prominent status, she was actually a woman who had a late start in that the industry.
Chen Che had checked her information while waiting and felt that she was very similar to him in some aspects.
This woman was a little older, but she still cared about looks.
The outside world might think that it was immature, but Chen Che especially understood because he had once been such a person. “Really?”
Chu Zhengfei asked uncertainly.
Chen Che asked for the meeting time and recording location. Chu Zhengfei still could not believe it and quickly finalized it. “If possible, come tomorrow. Come to the Imperial Capital… By the way, regarding the salary…’ 11 Chen Che replied, “Tell it to my company. I don’t have an agent for the time being, but since the company is in contact with Planner Chu, you must discuss it with my company about these things. I’ll be in charge of accepting the notices.”
Glancing at the time, Chen Che said calmly, “It’s indeed a little rushed now, so I’ll get there as soon as possible tomorrow. I’ll tell you the exact time later. At that time, please send someone to pick me up.”
“Alright, alright!” Chu Zhengfei said happily. “It’s settled then. It’s good that you’re coming over. We’ll settle the rest with your company.’ Chen Che thanked her politely and hung up.
He put his phone aside and lay on the bed. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
Actually, he didn’t think it was a big deal.
The reason why others were unwilling to go was very simple: they were destined to be eliminated. They might not even be exiled, but they had to act as someone else’s background.
Who would be willing to do such a thing?
If he had the time, he might as well take on other jobs.
Probably only someone like Chen Che, whose reputation was gradually fading, would go.
However, most of the people whose popularity were gradually declining were older, and most of the younger ones were still newcomers. However, Chen Che happened to meet the conditions: He had been in the industry for long enough. Because his company’s affairs were not as popular as before, he was about to be forgotten, and he was only 27 years old this year.
This age was relatively old for newbies, but although his popularity was diminishing, he could be regarded as a newbie.
What’s more, his looks happened to meet the requirements of the show, and was approved by Planner Chu.
No wonder she did not hesitate to humble herself and contact him personally.
However, Chen Che did not think much of it.
He was still in the novelty stage. On the one hand, he needed to participate in various activities, and on the other hand, he did not want to waste too much time.
Just as Chen Che was thinking about these things, he decided to discuss it with the director.
After all, this matter had already been decided.
He had to tell the director.
Although he was only going to make a cameo appearance, the filming time might not even be half a day.
“Chen Che?”
When Chen Che knocked on the door and entered, Zhang Enyi, the director of “In the Prime of Life”, was still awake.
Of course, he was very surprised to see Chen Che.
“Can I help you?”
After letting Chen Che in, Zhang Enyi asked curiously.
Chen Che said, “I want to talk to the director about my idea for the first episode.” Although the main purpose was not to talk about this, it could also be used as an opener.
Although he had yet to start writing, Chen Che already knew the entire process like the back of his hand.
He had once wondered if the plot “written” for him was applicable to reality.
He was not a professional. He should leave things to professionals to weigh in. After hearing this, the director did not say anything else. He asked him to sit down and quietly waited for him to explain.
After Chen Che finished his brief explanation, the director kept a smile on his face. Chen Che did not believe that he would accept it completely. He just felt that from the director’s smile, it should be not bad. “It’s too difficult to bring to life,” the director finally said.
It was as Chen Che had expected. “However, if we change a few hundred people to dozens, it might be possible.”
The director smiled and said to Chen Che. Chen Che frowned. “Then the meaning will change.’ The director shook his head. “How many viewers can we represent by retaining a few hundred people?”
Chen Che was stunned and looked at him in confusion. “Other than the number of people, can we consider the other plots? What do you mean, Director?”
The director nodded. “They’re all not bad.” Then, looking at Chen Che’s uncertain expression, the director could not help but laugh. “I can understand your expression.” Chen Che looked at the director. “What expression do I have?”
The director said, “He’s clearly very talented, but because he hasn’t been affirmed before, even if he’s accepted, it still feels feels unreal. That’s the expression you have on.”
“Heh.” Chen Che smiled and said, “Director, you used to study psychology, right?” The director shook his head. “Because I’ve experienced it myself before.”
He pointed at himself. “You’re not even 30 years old and you’re the executive director of this top variety show. Moreover, you’re leading a group of A-list celebrities to do a show. Have you never thought of this?”
Chen Che shrugged. “You’re talented, capable, and naturally lucky.”
The director nodded. “But at first, I couldn’t even believe that I was lucky, let alone talented and capable.” Chen Che fell silent.
He had been writing for six years, but he rarely recalled his life before he started writing. After graduating from university, he had once worked as an operator. His eyes were infected by dust and pus flowed out. Every day, he was dirty. Later on, he finally found a desk job, but he could only be an ordinary employee. In the end, Chen Che actually became a screenwriter in the animation company and even became the team leader.
His heart skipped a beat. At that time, he was not particularly confident that he could walk all the way from an operator to a salesperson and finally earn a living by writing.
Later on, he was full of confidence and simply resigned to write a novel.
Although his first attempt was unsuccessful, by the third book he had earned enough to get by with life.
his The director looked at the silent Chen Che and eyes flickered. He chuckled and said, ‘Actually, you shouldn’t lack confidence. Back then, when Producer Yu talked to you at night, we were all surprised. A handsome young lad with a bright future actually has deep meaning. Moreover, you’re indeed very talented. Now, I’ve only continued the impression you gave me back then. After two years, you’re still the Chen Che I know.”
“Alright.” Chen Che smiled. “You can praise me whenever you want.”
...
“Hehe.” The director did not say anything else and gestured to Chen Che. “Write out the specific content later. I’ll take it to the screenwriter team to study.”
Chen Che frowned. “They won’t think too much, right?”
The director shook his head. “So what if they think too much? They won’t be in front of the camera anyway.”
