Chapter 233： i think i want a tv station

After Jacques finished performing, Zhang Dongcheng did not express his opinion, but kept tapping his fingers on the armrest of the sofa. As if playing on the piano, several fingers kept rising and falling, making a sound of thump, thump, thud, although it was small, it was very dull.

This voice made Jacques even more uneasy. He looked nervously at Zhang Dongcheng, waiting for his decision.

"Very good! Your performance exceeded my expectations. But you also know that there will be two more people coming to audition. I'm still not sure what to make up for now, how about you go back and wait for my notice?" Zhang Dongcheng said The tone is tactful.

But it fell into Jacques' ears, but it made his heart sink. In his opinion, this kind of statement of going home and waiting for notification is clearly a sign of being given up. His expression became slightly anxious, "Director Smith, I...can I try again?"

"No!" Zhang Dongcheng shook his head and explained: "Jaquin, you misunderstood. I'm not saying that you didn't perform well, but that I was really undecided for a while. I'll give you the answer tonight. is it okay?"

Getting such an answer from Zhang Dongcheng, Jacques finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although there still seemed to be a big rock hanging in his heart, it was much stronger than the depression just now. "Okay, Director Smith, I don't have any announcements during this time, if I can, please contact me as soon as possible!"

"Of course, even if we can't cooperate this time, I think there will always be a chance next time!" Zhang Dongcheng sent Jacques away with a smile.

Jacques had just left when Edward Norton rushed over on the back foot, and the two happened to meet each other.

This also saved Zhang Dongcheng a lot of time. After bringing Edward to the office. Zhang Dongcheng said with a smile: "Mr. Edward, please come over in person, I'm really sorry!"

Edward Norton is the guy who almost won the Oscar winner. In 1996's "First Fear", although he missed the Oscar, he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. He is an out-and-out powerful actor.

"It's okay, it's an honor to work with Director Smith!" Edward Norton greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Okay, let's get straight to the point!" Zhang Dongcheng handed the script that Jacques had just read and hadn't put away to Edward Norton. "Mr. Edward, you should read the script first!"

"OK!"

Baldhead's script is very short, and he finished it in a few minutes.

"Director Smith, I think this role suits me very well!" Edward said bluntly after reading the script.

"Really?" Zhang Dongcheng smiled. Indeed, in his opinion, compared with Edward and Jacques, Edward's temperament undoubtedly agrees with the bald head setting.

This temperamental feeling is unreasonable.

After letting Edward perform the part that Jacques performed just now, Zhang Dongcheng almost made a decision immediately.

Edward's performance really surprised him. That kind of cold and deep feeling just brought this character to life.

"Mr. Edward, your acting skills are really beyond my imagination, it's just amazing!" Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help clapping his hands. exclaimed.

"Director Smith, you are overrated!" Edward broke away from the performance state. replied with a smile.

"But I'm sorry, I can't give you an answer for the time being, because there will be interviewers after you, if you don't mind, I'll give you the results tonight, how about it?" Zhang Dongcheng still didn't make this straightforward promise.

"Okay! Then I'll go back first!" Edward Norton agreed without any airs.

Of course it’s not that he is really so broad-minded, it’s that Zhang Dongcheng is not just a director now.

As the boss of Dongcheng Films, which is now in the limelight, many people believe that the rise of this company will shake the existing order of the entire Hollywood. In the future, the eight major film companies are likely to become the nine largest. With this extra company, who else could have Dongcheng Pictures?

It's best if you can make friends, but even if you can't make friends, you must not offend them. That's what all actors think, even superstars like Nicolas Cage and Tom Cruise.

The last interviewer, Amari Nolask, came a little later.

After seeing Amari, Zhang Dongcheng's eyes couldn't help but light up.

The hair and beard of Amari Nolask in front of me are clean-shaven. From the appearance point of view, he even needs a simple make-up to be bald in the dark war. Compared with Edward, he is more suitable for the role of bald. Now I just don't know how his acting skills are.

After letting Amari play the role of the bald man, Zhang Dongcheng was disappointed to find that this guy was so good-looking for nothing, and his acting skills were not as good as those of Joaquin.

Although acting in TV series is enough, but for movies, the gap is really too big.

Compared with acting in a TV series, there is no doubt that the demand for acting skills in movies is higher.

The main reason for all this is the problem of investment cost.

A movie normally takes about one hour to two hours, but the investment cost of the movie is astonishingly high. And a TV drama with an investment of about two million is considered quite good. Of course, this is based on the current prices in 1998. Even in the 21st century, the cost of a TV series is about three million, which is already a big deal.

The total investment is less, so the salary of the actors is also much worse. To be a bit of a philistine, with less money, the motivation of an actor is naturally not as good as that of a movie!

Actually, there is no difference between stronger and worse. However, many people subtly believe that movies are better than TV dramas, which is part of the reason why movie actors seem to have a higher status than TV drama actors.

"How is it? Director Smith, is my performance okay?" Amari looked at Zhang Dongcheng with some anxiety and asked.

For him, getting a role in a movie directed by Zhang Dongcheng is undoubtedly a chance to reach the sky in one step. It will allow him to get rid of his status as a TV actor and step into the movie circle smoothly.

Zhang Dongcheng closed his eyes and meditated. He had already decided in his heart that the Amari in front of him could not show the essence of baldness.

But after seeing Amari, Zhang Dongcheng had another idea. Although Amari's acting skills were not very good, Zhang Dongcheng remembered Amali's amazing performance in a future TV series.

This TV series is a popular TV series in the United States. Since the first season was broadcast in 2005, it has been out of control, and it has been filmed for four consecutive seasons and a one-and-a-half-hour movie.

This TV series is "Prison Break", which is the first of its kind! Although it is not as good as the eye-catching TV series "Friends", it is also rare and excellent in TV series!

Do you want to make that TV show now?

Future information is not limited to movies. Zhang Dongcheng is no longer the kid who had to worry about tens of thousands of dollars. Now he wants to start to improve his entertainment empire, and the TV station is naturally one of the indispensable puzzles.

Thinking of the TV series Prison Break, Zhang Dongcheng's thinking also diverged. With the TV series, he would naturally want to have his own TV station! This is not impossible in the United States. However, for Dongcheng Pictures, it seems unrealistic to buy a TV station.

"Director Smith?" Seeing that Zhang Dongcheng hadn't answered for a long time, but instead wandered off, Amari couldn't help calling out again.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Zhang Dongcheng finally came back to his senses and said, "I was distracted just now!"

"No, it's nothing." Amari shook his head and said, "Director Smith, what do you think of my performance just now?"

"To be honest, Amari, I don't want to lie to you. You are very different from the bald head in my heart. Although your appearance has added a lot of points to you, you still can't meet my requirements!" Zhang Dongcheng looked intently. Looking at Amari, he said: "But you don't have to be discouraged. In fact, your performance is already very good. It's just that you often play roles in TV dramas, so you are unfamiliar with movies. After all, there is still a gap between TV and movies. Big difference. Isn't it?"

Amari nodded in disappointment. He barely cheered up and said, "Thank you for your advice, Mr. Smith. I'm sorry to bother you. I'll go back first!"

"Wait, Amari." Zhang Dongcheng suddenly stopped him. Said: "I wonder if you are interested in acting in a TV series?"

"TV drama?" Amari was stunned for a moment, then asked suspiciously: "Director Smith, as far as I know, Dongcheng Films seems to be a film company, right?"

"Yes, but it doesn't mean anything, does it? Your performance just now suddenly gave me a good idea. This is a TV series. I think one of the characters is very suitable for you." Zhang Dongcheng said I made up my mind to tinker with "Prison Break". "Although the script exists only in my head right now, I will soon be able to figure it out. I would like to invite you to join."

"Of course, if Director Smith's script is ready, you can contact me anytime!" Amari agreed without hesitation. A good relationship is also a gain.

After sending Amari away, Zhang Dongcheng did not rush to shoot the scenes of the secret battle, but found Adaman and discussed the TV station with him.

"Adaman, I think we should have our own TV station." After calling Adaman to his office, Zhang Dongcheng said straight to the point.

Adaman was stunned by Zhang Dongcheng's almost unconstrained thinking. He opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He asked in surprise, "Smith, are you sure you're not kidding me?"
