Chapter 502 Luo Ji's Selection

Beijing, Aiyouteng Film Building.

In the chairman's office, Chen Kun sat in front of Jiang Heng, looking a little unnatural.

As a popular first-line actor in the Chinese entertainment industry, his appearance and acting skills are not bad, but he has not collaborated with Jiang Heng much.

Over the years, I have participated in the TV series "Dafeng Watchman" produced by Ayouteng Pictures, and played Xu New Year in the film, which was a supporting role.

As a result, there have been rumors in the circle that Jiang Heng doesn't like Chen Kun very much.

The reason is simple. During the filming of "The Golden Family", he had a bad attitude towards Liu Yifei.

The news spread like wildfire, and there was no one involved to refute the rumors. In addition, he had failed many times to win the leading role in Jiang Heng's special effects blockbusters, so the news spread even more widely!

In the end, Chen Kun himself believed it.

Otherwise, I'm pretty good, so why haven't I even gotten a supporting role in a blockbuster movie for so many years?

Is it possible that there really isn’t a suitable role?

As for this time, he also had the idea of ​​giving it a try.

After all, the success of the first movie of "The Three-Body Problem" is already there, and the published novel is widely circulated in Europe and the United States, and is regarded as a masterpiece by many political and business elites.

As the second film in the series, "The Three-Body Problem" will most likely be the most exciting one. It has a great chance of being a global hit and earning two to three billion US dollars at the box office.

Once he succeeds in competing for the male lead, his career will undergo earth-shaking changes!

Thinking of this, even if he is unwilling, the agency will kidnap him!

Fortunately, Jiang Heng still gave him face and let him in, but he had to queue up.

Deng Chao, Tong Dawei, Huo Jianhua, Peng Yuyan, Zhong Hanliang, Han Geng, Lin Gengxin... there are too many actors who have good image and temperament in the industry and are not too old.

Not to mention that each of them is extraordinary in strength, at least the competition is fierce.

The terrible thing is that no one knows what kind of person Jiang Heng wants to find to play Luo Ji, which makes everyone very anxious, as if they have bought lottery tickets with all their wealth and are waiting for the draw, and he is a super giant. Award kind.

As a result, when he walked into the office, Chen Kun, who boasted that he had seen strong winds and waves, was a little nervous. After saying hello, he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Heng, on the other hand, said casually: "Have you read the novel "The Three-Body Problem"?"

Chen Kun was silent for a moment, "I've read a little bit!"

"Obscure?"

Chen Kun smiled and said, "Some!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "It's normal. When I first read it, I couldn't stand it. Literary works are different from popular novels!"

Chen Kun smiled and nodded, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Jiang Heng continued: "Then do you know Luo Ji?"

Chen Kun nodded, "Understood. When he appeared, he was a cynical and irresponsible young scholar who often changed girlfriends. He had a double degree in astronomy and sociology. He taught as a professor of sociology at Huaqing University. There was once a man who was good at emotions and His girlfriend, who had a profound influence on him in terms of literary literacy, created a perfect female image under her guidance, and eventually broke up with his girlfriend because of his obsession with the virtual lover.

After meeting Ye Wenjie in front of Yang Dong’s tombstone..."

Chen Kun has obviously done his homework. It is most likely that his agent or assistant helped him sort out the character traits and experiences after reading the novel urgently.

"Then what do you think is the most important thing in order to play this role well?"

Chen Kun thought for a few seconds and said seriously: "I don't care!"

"Don't care what?"

"I don't care about myself, nor about all mankind! If the Trisolarans dare to launch an invasion, they will dare to launch the coordinates, and everyone will die together, or whatever!"

Jiang Heng smiled and said yes, because most of the answers from the people in front were cynical.

Of course, there are also people with similar answers, but the image and temperament are a little worse than Chen Kun.

When he was young, Luo Ji was a dandy who wandered around among flowers. You must have that image and temperament to convince the audience!

After all, Luo Ji didn't come from a wealthy family, so he had to have good conditions!

Although Jiang Heng was satisfied with Chen Kun's image, temperament, and answers, it was still a simple audition.

Jiang Heng asked him to stand up and perform some scenes about Luo Ji without any real objects.

When it comes to performing, Chen Kun is not so nervous.

He stood up and acted for a short period as Jiang Heng asked.

"Okay, not bad. Because time is limited, I won't keep you. News will be notified no later than noon tomorrow!"

Chen Kun came over to shake hands and said thank you.

After coming out, a staff member first guided him downstairs to the waiting area. His agent, assistant, and driver all came over and asked how the situation was.

Most of the male celebrities still waiting in line had nervous expressions.

Chen Kun's expression was solemn, "Let's talk about it when we get back!" He took the lead in heading towards the elevator.

When they arrived at the underground parking lot, the agent couldn't wait any longer and hurried forward and said, "What's going on behind the scenes? He doesn't really have any opinion on you, does he?"

Chen Kun smiled helplessly, "No, Director Jiang's attitude was good throughout the whole process, and I felt appreciation from his eyes. I think the chance is still quite high. If no one says anything to him!"

"You mean, Liu Yifei?" The agent was a little nervous.

Chen Kun shook his head, "That shouldn't happen!"

Although he didn't have much contact with Liu Yifei later on, they were both in the entertainment industry and many things couldn't be hidden.

Fans and viewers may not know who is good or bad, but insiders often know it clearly.

"I'm afraid that some big company will cooperate with Director Jiang and strongly recommend their candidates!"

"What kind of big company?"

"Penguin, Ali, Wanda, etc!"

"It shouldn't be that bad, it shouldn't be that bad!" the agent murmured.

Having said that, he was a little nervous.

Because of the continued prosperity of the Chinese entertainment industry, Penguin and Ali, two Internet giants, have indeed entered the market.

In recent years, the shadows of the two companies have been behind many film projects.

It's just that Jiang Heng is not short of money or resources, and his special effects blockbusters have not been touched by the two companies.

But this project is different. "The Three-Body Problem 2" has a super good box office prospect. The key is that the original novel is regarded as a bible by many Internet giants!

For them, being able to invest and participate in the production of such a movie is really of great significance.

Ordinarily, ordinary actors would never think of such things.

It's just that Chen Kun has a melancholy personality and thinks a lot. Although he thinks that he has a great chance of success, he still thinks about various reasons for possible failure.

As a result, after getting in the car and leaving, he went home and stayed in the room without coming out.

Jiang Heng said that there would be news before noon tomorrow. Before that, he really didn't want to do anything!

In the small meeting of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures, Jiang Heng told several executives of the company about the results of the audition. Initially, he felt that Chen Kun was more suitable.

"What about Wanda Pictures?" A vice president couldn't help but say.

Jiang Heng just looked up and glanced, and the latter was so scared that he didn't dare to breathe! (End of this chapter)
