Chapter 646: "The Letter of Attorney"

Almost all entertainment media reported what happened at Yanjing Airport yesterday afternoon.

The famous director Chen Kexin met with the popular actor Chen Hao at the restaurant of Yanjing Airport. The two talked for about 30 minutes, and Chen Kexin rushed back to Hong Kong.

One media headline was: "The last important role of the annual drama "The Warlords" has been settled!"

Subtitle: "Chen Kexin gave up Takeshi Kaneshiro and chose Chen Hao!"

The media is not afraid of using bold words. On the contrary, if there is no bold words, it is not worthy of being a media. People are right. This role was prepared by Chen Kexin for Takeshi Kaneshiro. The investment amount has been rising again and again. The war drama "The Warlords" has attracted much attention before it even started shooting. From Jet Li to Andy Lau, every role has been confirmed once. Round after round of publicity has made people full of expectations for this drama, and at the same time, they have also understood many contents of this drama.

Chen Kexin revealed that the play will be about three men. Although there is a difference between the main and the secondary, each of them carries the backbone of the play. Jet Li and Andy Lau, there is no need to say what these two names represent.

Takeshi Kaneshiro is the third candidate, and Chen Kexin has been trying to persuade him. This is no secret. It has been rumored for a long time. The former top handsome man still has many middle-aged female fans, and can also play with the first two.

The situation suddenly changed. Chen Kexin hurried back to China and found a free time for both of them recently. He chose to meet at the airport directly. There was no way to avoid reporters in this half hour. There were reporters squatting at the Capital Airport 365 days a year. Chen Hao, who was very popular, stopped at the restaurant to talk about things. This in itself was an announcement that there was enough tacit understanding between the two or between the two companies, which would allow the two to cooperate once, otherwise it would not be so high-profile.

The fact is that Chen Kexin took the initiative to release the news without waiting for the media interview the next day, confirming what everyone had speculated.

"Yes, I have talked to Chen Hao himself, and the two companies have also negotiated. There is no option worth tangling with the negotiation. The formal contract will be signed soon. He will become a major actor in "The Warlords". Similarly, like Mr. Jet Li, Mr. Andy Lau and Ms. Xu Jinglei, Mr. Chen Hao also voluntarily reduced his salary to participate in the film."

Since they have cooperated, it is inevitable that Chen Kexin will praise Chen Hao. A voluntary reduction in salary puts him on the same level as the previous ones, trying to dispel the unequal ideas in everyone's minds. The previous candidate was Takeshi Kaneshiro. Everyone thinks that these three roles are very suitable. As for Chen Hao, we know that you are famous, but it feels like a generation difference. Let Chen Hao play the nephew of the two, then no matter what the role is, it will be fine. Playing a brother? Is it suitable?

Haomen's fans are the cutest. They don't know who came up with this idea. Faced with such doubts on the Internet, they responded with a still photo.

Still of Men Saner.

Let's not talk about age. The third brother in your "The Warlords" can't be in his 40s or 50s. The role of the eldest brother is not suitable for this age, let alone the third brother? Haozi can even play a modern role like Men Saner. You are overthinking it.

From 80 million to 100 million, then to 150 million, 200 million, and 300 million, the investment in "The Warlords" has always been in the state of additional investment. What can be confirmed at present is that in addition to the filming studio that is suitable for filming, the crew has built two outdoor battlefields in the north specifically for filming this film. The ambitions of the investors are very big, and the ambitions of the producers are also very big. Not to mention Chen Kexin, why did he invite Jet Li and Andy Lau? It is for the reason that the film will invest hundreds of millions of dollars in this film, at least there is a guarantee that it will not lose money.

Such a film, Chen Hao's participation as a major actor is definitely a great leap forward in his acting career. He had considered it himself, thinking that if Takeshi Kaneshiro had not agreed by the time "Charlotte's Troubles" was released, then the role would undoubtedly be his. With two films as a foundation, Director Chen should be excited. Unexpectedly, just after the release of "Old Cannon", Director Chen flew back and talked to him in person for more than 20 minutes.

The process of the discussion was relatively simple, and Director Chen Kexin was also quite down-to-earth. He asked Chen Hao if he could endure hardships. Regarding the image, he did not think that his image in the new film would be worse than Men Saner. Chen Hao could accept Men Saner, so he should not be the kind of actor who worries about ruining his image. Another worry was the shaving of his head. Jet Li had no problem, but Andy Lau would not agree. Chen Kexin did not discuss this matter with Chen Hao in detail. If they could discuss it, then shave it. If not, it would be okay, and the script could be slightly adjusted.

Chen Hao returned to Yanjing. He did not rest or do any live broadcast. He did not sleep all night and read the script carefully from beginning to end again. He also found "The Assassination of Ma Zhenhuan" and watched it to fully understand the setting of the script and some of the content. He first understood the whole play as a whole, but did not put too much effort into in-depth analysis of his own role. He felt that he had to understand the whole play thoroughly first, and the roles of the eldest brother and the second brother thoroughly, before he could make this character, who was just a shadow in the early stage, explode in the end.

Time flies when you focus on one thing. You stay in your room until dawn. You don't have time to read the news. It's not the same as before. In the past, he liked to read his news on the Internet, and he felt particularly satisfied and comfortable. Recently, he has really gotten used to it. He doesn't take the headlines seriously. He doesn't have so much time and energy to live a leisurely life. His schedule is loose again and again, and the activities that should be postponed are postponed again and again. The entire schedule is still very full. If it weren't for the things he likes to do, he would really want to give up and rest and enjoy life instead of being busy all day long.

It's dawn, take a shower, and be refreshed. The stylist has arrived at home. There will be a promotional event in the morning. "Charlotte's Troubles" has entered the most intensive promotion period. First, there will be regular promotional activities and fan meetings, and then there will be online promotion.

While blowing his hair, Chen Hao's phone rang. Brother Tian sent him a piece of information. It was not much, but a one-week schedule for a group from Taiwan called Fahrenheit, which was very popular a few years ago. At that time, they were set up with four styles of male idols in spring, summer, autumn and winter. They were really popular. Some people said that they did not have a good opportunity, otherwise they would have surpassed F4 at that time.

This was their one-week schedule when they were popular. There were dozens of them in one day. Chen Hao was stunned. These guys would participate in nearly ten variety shows or interviews in one day in Taiwan, and they would also go out for publicity and participate in some activities. It was 24 hours a day. On the first day, they got up at 4:30 in the morning and did not return to their residence until 3:00 in the morning of the next day. They only had four hours of rest time. They had to get up at 7 o'clock and take a flight at 8:30 to go to Shanghai to participate in activities.

In seven days, you can't see them having time to work on their own music, nor can you see them reading the script carefully. Some scenes even have to be postponed in order to constantly refresh their exposure and appear in various programs. Apart from this, they don't have much time for themselves in a day. They sleep for three to five hours, sometimes even less. Even so, sleeping can't be ranked second in their day. The second is styling, especially the head shape. The stylist and hairstylist always move with the team and have to adjust their hair anytime and anywhere. Many times, they are very similar scenes, sitting in the car, rushing to the next announcement location, they are too sleepy to lean on to sleep, they have to keep their hair in order, and they have to use a neck pillow to support their necks. Sometimes they fall asleep and the hairstylist is still doing their hair. Later, Wu Zun left the team because such a life made him have no time to spend with his family. His departure also made the entire Fahrenheit gradually become a second-tier artist.

Chen Hao got goosebumps after reading it. He knew that Fahrenheit was very popular at that time, and he liked to position them. The four members had four different styles, one cool, one bad, one handsome, and one warm. Although there was nothing really outstanding in terms of works, you would unconsciously like the style of this group and be willing to continue to pay attention to them.

Now seeing this schedule, he can understand what it means to be popular, including when he met Song Ke and Gao Xiaosong, they talked about Chun Ge. At that time, Song Ke's company signed Li Yuchun and got part of her agency contract. It was very impressive. Song Ke was very proud of this. Now talking about it, Li Yuchun was in such a state at that time, appearing crazily in various occasions, and the company used her current popularity to the maximum extent to squeeze economic value.

Seeing and thinking about them, Chen Hao felt full of energy. Compared with them, he was definitely enjoying the treatment of an emperor. He had a veto over all schedules. He would not participate in any commercial performances or commercial activities that were purely for making money and had little influence. He was also very meticulous in choosing endorsements. Even when he was busy, he would only have three activities a day at most, such as an interview, a promotional event, and filming a program. He had time to rest, study, and read scripts to study roles.

While feeling comfortable, Chen Hao did not belittle himself. Even compared with those super-red celebrities who were once very popular, he was not inferior in economic value. Although I did not make money as frequently as you did, the economic value I created for the agency or the boss was no worse than you.

Straightening up and looking at himself in the makeup mirror in front of him, Chen Hao was full of confidence. If "Charlotte's Troubles" was successful, he would have more capital to live the actor's life he longed for, rather than the life of a popular artist.
