"Director Guo, phone call..."
The assistant next to him saw the phone ringing and reminded Guo Zongming.
Guo Zongming waved his hands irritably and said in a slightly irritable tone, "No, no, no, I'm almost fed up with it. If there are any calls coming in, just ignore them."
Guo Zongming's phone has been basically bombarded with calls these days. He is not a good-tempered person.
Guo Zongming has always sneered at those who want to take backdoors. He had no movies to shoot in the past because he couldn't stand this kind of behavior and was ignored.
Most actors have a mediocre impression of him. In recent days, many people who had worked with him in the past have come to him hoping that they can get a role through their connections.
Guo Zongming refused without hesitation, and hung up without even giving the other party time to play the emotional card.
At the beginning, Guo Zongming would answer the phone, but later there were too many calls coming in, and they all had the same rhetoric and the same purpose.
If Guo Zongming really wanted to reject them one by one, then he wouldn't have to do anything all day and could just sit here and answer the phone.
Guo Zongming looked at today's schedule. He had to meet the popular star arranged by Penguin Pictures. Guo Zongming frowned and sighed.
Others could refuse, but Penguin Pictures really couldn't refuse. Guo Zongming once again felt powerless.
Before leaving, he specifically told his assistant: "Turn your phone to silent mode in the future and don't answer any calls. It makes me annoyed..."
Guo Zongming felt that he was already physically and mentally exhausted before the filming of "Chinese Paladin III" even started. Although he was tired when filming "Chinese Paladin I", he was in a fulfilled state and did not feel tired at all when he was busy.
Not to mention the filming of Chinese Paladin III, even the casting issue was enough to keep Guo Zongming busy.
Because The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 was a new project at the beginning, it had a high degree of freedom. But after The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 became popular, many people set their sights on The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3, because everyone knew that this drama would definitely be a hit.
Guo Zongming was already in a bad mood, and when the young actor who was auditioning was late, he immediately became furious.
Guo Zongming immediately cursed, "Damn it! This is the first time I've seen a director waiting for actors. Let's go! I'll call Fang Lintao later and tell him it's not that I don't want to give him a chance, it's that he doesn't want to give me, the director, a chance to audition."
Throughout Guo Zongming's years in the industry, the director has always had the final say in the relationship between the director and the actors.
I don’t know what kind of actors are late for auditions.
Guo Zongming was too lazy to ask about it, so he just looked for an opportunity to kick this traffic star out.
…
Li Changle was teaching Wang Siyi how to make soup when the phone rang. Knowing that there were very few people calling her, Li Changle answered the phone without hesitation.
"Director Guo?" Li Changle asked in surprise. Wasn't Guo Zongming preparing the crew? Why did he call?
"Changle, I can't take on the job of Chinese Paladin III. I'm going to tell you this."
"What? Director Guo, why did you suddenly quit?" Li Changle couldn't sit still anymore.
Guo Zongming's understanding of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series is most in line with Li Changle's appetite. Guo Zongming made an indelible contribution to the success of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".
Li Changle didn't quite understand why he was planning to quit his job out of the blue.
Guo Zongming was still in high spirits after the success of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1. When Li Changle read Guo Zongming's script of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3, he patted his chest and guaranteed that The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 would definitely be a big hit.
Only half a month had passed, and Guo Zongming had already said he wasn't going to do it anymore. Li Changle was completely baffled and asked directly, "What's going on, Director Guo? Didn't you say that Chinese Paladin III would suit your taste?"
Guo Zongming is also feeling bitter. He just wants to film, but the crew hasn't even started shooting yet and there are a lot of troubles.
"You don't know, didn't I tell you before? Penguin Pictures arranged for a young actor to come over and ask for a role. I don't even know his acting skills, so I have to audition, right?"
Li Changle nodded. It made sense. Even if it was Penguin Pictures, it would be impossible for Guo Zongming to directly assign the young actor a leading role. An audition was essential.
"I arranged a time and place for the audition with them, and guess what? I waited for an hour or two and didn't see a single feather. I've been a director for so long, and I've never seen a director wait for actors during an audition."
Guo Zongming seemed to be furious, and kept talking nonsense.
"this……"
Li Changle was stunned. Guo Zongming was one of the top five most influential figures in the TV industry. Not only did the entire entertainment industry have to act according to his wishes, but this was the first time Li Changle had heard of such a thing as asking the director to wait for the actors to come for auditions.
Before Guo Zongming finished speaking, he seemed to drink some water and continued to complain: "Do you think this is the end?"
"That fresh meat, I told Fang Lintao to get lost, and then the next day I was inexplicably on the trending search, saying I, Guo Zongming, was a big shot. Now I'm being cyberbullied."
"What?!" Li Changle was shocked. He was not a person who liked to watch the news and didn't even know about this.
Besides, who would use Weibo?
Li Changle took Wang Siyi's mobile phone and checked the news. Guo Zongming was on the hot search list.
"Director Guo, don't be anxious. Let's calm down first. This Chinese Paladin III wouldn't work without you. Let's first understand the situation and clear up the misunderstanding..."
Li Changle finally persuaded Guo Zongming with all her might, and then went to find out about the situation of Guo Zongming being cyber-bullied.
