#Zhao Si never misses a shot#
Zhao Si is on the hot search again, bought by the program team because his archery results are so good. It is rare for professional athletes to hit the target every time, because it not only requires good skills, but also a stable mentality.
Gu Lingfeng didn't have time to watch Zhao Si's live broadcast today. He still wanted to help Zhao Si get the role in Zhang Zhen's new movie. He didn't want to be the male lead, but he could accept the second, third, or fourth male roles.
As for Su Nan, if he can get a small role, he will do it. If he can't, it doesn't matter. Anyway, they had talked about Su Nan before and he mainly wanted to pursue a career in music. However, a pure music route would result in lower exposure and it would generally be difficult to maintain fans, so he would be willing to try if there were occasionally better TV or movie roles.
Gu Lingfeng collected a lot of videos of Zhao Si performing boxing on the Internet, as well as videos of Zhao Si practicing martial arts in the rooftop garden that he had secretly filmed. He sorted them out and personally delivered them to Zhang Zhen.
The two met at a teahouse near Zhang Zhen's home, and Gu Lingfeng arrived first.
"Director Zhang." Seeing Zhang Zhen appear at the door of the private room, Gu Lingfeng quickly stood up to greet him with a humble and polite attitude.
Zhang Zhen smiled and nodded at him, "Hello, Mr. Gu."
Zhang Zhen actually had a pretty good impression of Gu Lingfeng. Although he had only met Gu Lingfeng once, he could tell that Gu Lingfeng had good family education and character.
Moreover, the Gu Group has a good reputation, and Gu Entertainment is considered a clean stream in the circle. He feels that Gu Lingfeng, the young master of the Gu Group, should not be bad either.
Of course, he was willing to meet Gu Lingfeng again not only because he thought Gu Lingfeng was a good person, but also because he valued his investment.
Recently, many people have come to Zhang Zhen to discuss investment, including at least dozens of companies, large and small. However, I don’t know if it’s because he has been out of the spotlight for a few years and can’t keep up with the times, but without exception, these investors want to squeeze people into his movies.
Some even wanted him to tailor the role for them, with a good personality and more screen time, and some even wanted to bring a screenwriter into the crew, which made Zhang Zhen very angry.
In comparison, Gu Lingfeng's condition of just assigning people without being picky about roles made him feel that it was not unacceptable. Moreover, Gu Lingfeng promised not to participate in the film production and would give him 100% creative space.
In fact, Zhang Zhen was very tempted when this condition was first proposed, but he did not agree to it in a hurry because he had already made appointments with two big companies at that time.
But it was obvious that the result of the discussion was not what he wanted. He regretted it. He should have agreed to Gu Lingfeng earlier. He was still thinking about how to tactfully get in touch with Gu's company again, but he didn't expect Gu Lingfeng to ask him out again.
Gu Lingfeng didn't know what Zhang Zhen was thinking. He poured tea for Zhang Zhen respectfully. Although he was actually the financial sponsor, he was just trying to give money. Besides, Zhang Zhen was about the same age as his father, so he had to show respect to him.
Everyone was busy, so Gu Lingfeng didn't exchange pleasantries and got straight to the point. "Director Zhang, I mentioned before that I wanted to try to find an artist to play a role for me. Today, I brought some videos of him for you to watch. Although I haven't read the script for your new film, I think he would be a perfect fit. I'm sure you'll agree after reading it."
Zhang Zhen took a sip of tea, which tasted really good. "Oh? Since Mr. Gu is so confident, I'll take a look."
Gu Lingfeng took out his tablet, found Zhao Si's video and showed it to Zhang Zhen. Zhang Zhen leaned back in his chair, holding a cup of tea nonchalantly. He didn't really trust Gu Lingfeng, but since he wanted his investment, he had to give him some face.
Although Zhang Zhen has been out of the spotlight for three years, he still has a good understanding of the current state of the entertainment industry. There's a lack of talent, with talented actors mostly aging, and the younger actors who are still around are almost unworthy of their roles. They're incredibly popular, with tons of viewership, and they're starring in one film after another, but their acting skills haven't improved at all.
At first, Zhang Zhen didn't take it seriously, thinking Zhao Si's looks were just okay, but he'd seen too many handsome men and beautiful women, so without substance, it was just that. But when Zhao Si started boxing, he couldn't help but sit up straight, captivated by his smooth movements and graceful figure in the video.
Martial arts dramas naturally feature a large portion of the action, and a well-executed action scene is half the battle for a film. These days, action stars are hard to find. While the older generation is a bit of a stretch, the younger generation often can't handle the hard work or invest the time and effort required to train. The action scenes in current TV dramas are often done with stand-ins or edited with a few poses.
Zhao Si is not only good-looking, he is also a good fighter. His graceful and neat movements make Zhang Zhen feel that he is better than the martial arts instructor he hired, as if he really knows martial arts.
"Is this the actor you want me to have?" Zhang Zhen asked Gu Lingfeng, suppressing his inner excitement.
Gu Lingfeng observed his expression and said, "It's him. His name is Zhao Si. He loves martial arts and has been practicing martial arts since he was a child."
"You mean he really knows martial arts?" Zhang Zhen thought this was edited by Gu Lingfeng.
"Yes, he knows martial arts." Gu Lingfeng thought to himself that he not only knows martial arts, but also martial arts skills.
Zhang Zhen was very satisfied. He felt that this trip was worth it. Not only did he get the investment, but the actors also came to him.
Zhang Zhen pretended to be in deep thought, but in fact, he was just pretending to avoid Gu Lingfeng seeing that he was very satisfied and then taking the opportunity to take advantage of him. It seems that it is true that a good director is actually better at acting than the actors. Anyway, Gu Lingfeng didn't see anything from his expression.
Gu Lingfeng felt a little nervous. He picked up the cup and drank the tea slowly, thinking about what to say next.
Suddenly, Zhang Zhen stood up and said, "I'm going to make a phone call."
"Oh, yes, please."
Zhang Zhen went out with his phone. Gu Lingfeng took the time to take out his phone and replied to a few messages, then opened Weibo to see Zhao Si's game situation. As soon as he entered, he saw that Zhao Si's name was on the hot search.
