Chapter 5: A natural performance? Haha, I got scolded (2/2)

"That's quite interesting." Liu Zehang rested his chin on his hand. "Do you know him?"

Xiao Zhou shook his head: "He doesn't look like someone in the industry."

He had never seen such a unique temperament before.

Liu Zehang plays the second brother. He is only 27 years old this year, two years younger than the original second brother. However, he is considered to be one of the better actors among the new generation of actors. In addition, he himself does not mind playing such a villainous role, so Hou Rongxuan finally decided to cast him.

For the lead role, which has a more significant impact, Hou Rongxuan brought in Bao Wei, a very talented middle-aged actor in the industry. However, Bao Wei has something to do today and has not yet arrived.

"I wonder how good the third brother's acting is." Liu Zehang sighed, thinking about the company's recent situation. "I hope he won't drag the production down."

Liu Zehang was under a lot of pressure to take on this role. His agency has been quite impatient in recent years, forcing him to make money in idol dramas and compete with current popular newcomers in the traffic-driven market. This is completely different from Liu Zehang's original intention.

There's no way around it; everyone in this era is chasing after traffic.

In the agent's words: "Can't you focus on traffic, talent, business opportunities, and awards all at once?"

When Liu Zehang first heard these words, he really wanted to find a rope and hang himself at his agent's doorstep.

Is this even human language?

Finally, after much difficulty, Liu Zehang managed to convince the company to let him participate in the drama "Killing Life".

Although director Hou Rongxuan's films in recent years have not yet reached the level of making huge profits, they have received good reviews after release and the box office has been very stable, basically making a profit without loss. This is definitely the best choice for many investors in the industry.

In particular, this script was the result of two years of painstaking work by Hou Rongxuan and his screenwriter, and it had the potential to win awards. People in the industry were very interested and participated in the audition. Liu Zehang took advantage of his youth to snag the "second place" role.

However, the role of the third brother was rejected by a large number of people because of the special nature of the real-life figure, the high demands of the victim's family, and the requirement for a young actor to play an ugly role. The remaining roles were all rejected by the director.

But suddenly a suitable actor has appeared...

Liu Zehang was somewhat worried.

After all, he has many scenes with this "third brother" character, and if the other actor's acting is not good, it might drag him down.

But since the director has already found the person, there's no way he can say anything.

I just hope the other party can be more reliable...

"Xiao Zhou, I've brought you the box you were looking for."

Just as Liu Zehang and Xiao Zhou were discussing the newcomers, a man with an honest-looking face and a lean build walked into the lounge carrying a box and placed it in a corner.

Liu Zehang immediately stopped the conversation. Xiao Zhou stepped forward to check the box, then thanked the man: "This is what we wanted, thank you, Uncle Li."

"Hey, you're welcome!"

While wiping his sweat, Uncle Li casually asked, "By the way, have you seen that new actor? I heard he's quite handsome, completely different from 'Old Zhu San'. Xiao Zhou, have you seen him?"

"Ah, me?" Xiao Zhou glanced at Liu Zehang, who nodded slightly. Xiao Zhou then smiled and said to Uncle Li, "I just glanced at him as I was passing by, I don't remember much."

"Oh, I see..."

Uncle Li nodded, seemingly just asking casually, then smiled and said, "Okay, I was just curious. I'll be going now."

"Okay, goodbye Uncle Li."
