I Know Everything

Chapter 44: The reluctant little empress.

When he went back to his home, Chen Huan felt he was fooled.

After a few people pressuring him, he changed his mind and accepted to play the male Fang Shu role.

This was completely his vanity causing trouble!

On one hand, everybody was sincere when they persuaded him and their words so ferociously enticing.

On the other hand, it was a role in a movie he liked very much. This sense of honor made him easily fooled.

But it was useless to think about these things now.

He already had the script in hand and carefully looked at it as he remembered Kashiwabara performance.

Japanese Film and TV have a unique feeling.

Whether it was trying to be handsome, deliberately pretending to be cool or deliberately trying to create an awkward atmosphere.

If it wasn't for Kashiwabara's great fit with the movie's male Fuuji, the movie probably wouldn't be received as well as it was.

Let's not talk about 1995 Kashiwabara, the performance of Shun Oguri in 2017 'Gintama', didn't the audience cringe at it?

Although there were some other reasons why Anime/Manga were not suited to be adapted into live movies, it was Shun Oguri's exaggerated acting that made the people leave the theater one by one.

Moreover, Shun Oguri have tens of millions of fans in China but the box office didn't even reach 90 million yuan. How could that be a good movie?

If you want to say that China's wasn't acclimated to Japanese's movies to begin with, how do you explain the box office of 'Your Name'? (That movie grossed over 80m dollars in China only, big ass success.)

Therefore, Chen Huan would not do everything Kashiwabara did and must put his own things.

While Chen Huan was busy preparing his role, Zhu Mei was also working vigorously.

She first confirmed Chen Qian for the role.

The overjoyed Chen Qian heard from Zhu Mei that the film was "underfunded" so set the pay at 500k which was even more exaggerated that half the salary for a literacy film. It was a half of the half.

Fortunately, she didn't have an agent or the agent would be furious.

Among the several female stars that were rejected, Cao Nihui didn't care but Bu Yiyi had some grievance.

Couldn't an actress like her even play the supporting actress role?

Director Zhu, was your movie so difficult to star at?

To be honest, Zhu Mei was very satisfied with Bu Yiyi and felt very grateful that a big name like her was willing to come for a supporting actress role, which was only someone who really like you would do.

So she told her the honest truth.

"I'm sorry, Yiyi, we gave the audition tape to Teacher Chu Liuxiang and he thought you didn't suit the role, sorry!"

She hung up the phone after.

Bu Yiyi grinded her teeth in anger.

Chu Liuxiang!

You dare to say that I can't play female Fang Shu? I'd like to see what kind of super actress you will choose!

...

While Bu Yiyi grinded her teeth, the 'Super Actress' was in a daze.

Han Dong'er was looking in confusion at her agent and assistant while thinking she heard them wrong.
