Chapter 490: Third-tier Actor
Gu Ning returned to the bus and asked Chu Peihan and the others, "We may have to camp here tonight. What do you think? Is this acceptable?" Because it was a critical moment, he could not care less.
"Of course, no problem."
Several people said nonchalantly.
The team led by Lu Zhan has always been curious about why they were in such a hurry to make a movie, but since no one could explain it to them, they could only remain curious.
While waiting, everyone was playing with their phones.
Because everyone came to City D, the first news that appeared on the headlines was about City D, so soon people discovered the news about zombies.
"Oh my god! Look at this news, there are zombies!"
"Is this true? There are such things as zombies in this world?"
As soon as the video was played, everyone was frightened by the shrill sound. Although the sound was not loud due to the distance, it was too creepy and one could feel the chill through the screen.
"D City, Changyang Mountain, isn't that here?" a young man suddenly said.
"What? Here?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was horrified. Regardless of whether the post was true or not, they had just heard that there were zombies here, and then found out that they happened to be here, so it would be strange if they were not scared.
"Director Lu, is this video real?" someone asked on behalf of Lu Zhan's nephew, Lu Yicheng.
Lu Yicheng is a man in his twenties. Although he is young, he is mature and steady. Although he was also frightened by the zombie post, he didn't know whether it was true or not, but constant speculation would make people panic, so he calmly asked back: "How many of the news you have seen are true? It's so far away, who knows if it's a human or a ghost! Maybe it's that terrorist, and then he was burned to death, so the authorities found someone to impersonate him! After all, even if it's a terrorist, being burned like this is too cruel, and it's not good to spread it out."
After listening to Lu Yichen's words, everyone felt that it made sense, but it was just speculation, so everyone still felt uneasy.
Gu Ning happened to come over with a banner and asked them to do it. She heard what was said and went to call Lu Zhan to explain to everyone. Because she was young, her words were not very convincing, and she did not want to reveal her identity.
Lu Zhan came to explain to everyone, and what he said was the guess that Lu Yicheng had just made.
It is said that someone deliberately caused trouble this time, and the government has already issued a statement and it is impossible to change its words, so they came up with the idea of making a ghost movie to eliminate the storm.
Everyone felt relieved after hearing what Lu Zhan said in person.
Then, Gu Ning handed the banner matter over to them.
After Lu Zhan made the call, he came to report to Gu Ning: "Boss, after I made six calls, three people are willing to come, two men and one woman, but they are all third-tier actors, with acting skills but tepid popularity. Two of these three actors are in Beijing, and one is in Haishi. They booked flights overnight."
Gu Ning doesn't care about the star's status, as long as Lu Zhan thinks the other party can act.
"One of the men is a veteran actor, about the same age as me, in his forties. His name is Zhao Qigang, and he plays the professor of the archaeological team. The other two are in their twenties. The man is called Han Lengxuan and the woman is called Bai Ling. For them, I directly decided on the male and female leading roles." Lu Zhan said.
Gu Ning didn't mind this.
After getting the other party's flight time, Gu Ning contacted the previous drivers again and asked them to pick them up at that time.
Because those drivers had already received Jiang Bowen's orders to follow Gu Ning's instructions at any time, they had no complaints.
Not long after, Su Tongnuo arrived, and with her came her assistant, Lin Xiaoxia.
"Boss!" When Su Tongnuo and Lin Xiaoxia saw Gu Ning, they both called him respectfully.
Then, his eyes fell on Lu Zhan. Su Tongnuo was a little surprised and surprised: "Director Lu..."
Su Tongnuo and Lu Zhan had worked together a few years ago. Although she played the fourth female role, her acting skills were still recognized by Lu Zhan. Therefore, even though they had worked together only once and several years had passed, Lu Zhan still remembered Su Tongnuo.
When Lu Zhan saw that it was Su Tongnuo, "Xiao Su" was also a little surprised.
Su Tongnuo knew that Lu Zhan had been banned. Now seeing him here, she knew everything without asking. It was all because of Gu Ning.
"Hello, Sister Tongnuo." Duan Lixin also knew Su Tongnuo, and immediately stood up and called out politely.
"Hello," Su Tongnuo responded politely.
Then, Gu Ning introduced Duan Lixin to Su Tongnuo, and then said to Lu Zhan: "Su Tongnuo is the first artist I signed. Since you all know each other, there is no need for me to introduce her. Uncle Lu, you can choose someone according to your requirements. You don't need to give Su Tongnuo preferential treatment just because she is one of us."
Gu Ning was afraid that Lu Zhan would be embarrassed, so he said it directly.
Lu Zhan laughed and said, "I am still very confident in Xiao Su's acting. As long as I think she is suitable, I will not let her go. But this time, she must play the leading female role. But whether it is the main one or the villain, wait for Bai Ling to come, and you two can decide after the audition."
He had no doubts about the acting skills of both of them, the main question was whether they were suitable. Only by playing the right roles could better results be achieved.
Su Tongnuo was surprised when she heard the name of the female lead because she didn't know the situation. She had never played the female lead before! As for whether she could play the leading role or the villain, she didn't really care. Playing the role well was the most important thing.
She did know Bai Ling, but she was not very familiar with him.
Bai Ling and Su Tongnuo are both talented actors, but the difference is that Bai Ling may be unlucky and can't become popular no matter how he acts, while Su Tongnuo can't become popular because she is unlucky and met someone who wanted to seduce her, but she blocked him because she didn't want to.
If it weren't for this, Su Tongnuo might have been relegated to the second line in this year.
Although the difference between first-tier and second-tier cities is only one level, the gap between them is still quite large.
"It's my honor to receive recognition from Director Lu." Su Tongnuo said politely.
After chatting for a few minutes, it was time to rest.
But since we were in the wild, no one felt sleepy.
At 4:20 in the morning, Bai Ling, who flew from Hai City, arrived. Lu Zhan and Lu Yicheng got out of the car to greet him.
Bai Ling, 27 years old, debuted for five years. Most of the people in the entertainment industry are good-looking. Although Bai Ling is not a great beauty, she is pretty, and very attractive and has a good temperament.
She is not attractive at first sight, but becomes more attractive the more you look at her.
There was only one assistant who came with Bai Ling.
Because Bai Ling is only a third-tier artist, her agent is also in charge of other artists, so he doesn't have time to accompany Bai Ling.
The agent knew about Lu Zhan's reputation, so he still trusted him.
Although Lu Zhan was banned by the Tang family in Beijing, since Lu Zhan guaranteed that the film could be released, the agent agreed.
