From villain specialist to all-around superstar

Chapter 47 Discussing the Script with Director Zhang
Ye Chen was too lazy to care about Teng Jian's sarcasm. After all, his acting skills were there. It was not him who had the final say, but the audience.

Yang Mi has signed an agreement with the "Hero" crew, which is still 300 million, and Ye Chen will play the role of Qin Shihuang.

After last night's preparation, Ye Chen already knew the role of Emperor Qin well.

Back in time, Ye Chen acted in several dramas, among which he was the second villain in "Rescue Mr. My Life" and "Big Shot".

For a newcomer, this is already an outstanding result.

Whether it is Hua Zi or Zhao Tai, his acting skills have been recognized by everyone in the crew.

Despite this, Ye Chen did not feel that he was a big name. He still had a clear positioning for himself.

So instead of worrying about the public opinion on the Internet, it is better to play his role well and use his acting skills to slander others.

After Ye Chen washed up, had breakfast, then got into the nanny car and arrived at the set of "Hero".

In the director room, Director Zhang saw Ye Chen and gave him some advice.

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, Director Zhang, the audience will judge my acting movie after it is released. It doesn't matter what others say or what public opinion says. I just need to do what I should do. I believe in the audience's His eyes are sharp."

Director Zhang nodded with satisfaction after hearing Ye Chen's words.

It's really not easy for a young man to have such a good attitude.

He has also watched the sample of "Rescue Mr. Me". Ye Chen's acting skills are really good, even he admires it very much.

So this movie is bound to be popular, and Ye Chen will definitely be recognized by the audience.

For this drama, Director Zhang also has great confidence in Ye Chen.

During the audition yesterday, Ye Chen's temperament in playing Qin Huang was too good.

Every move carried the majesty of an emperor.

It was as if the person sitting on the dragon throne was the real Qin Shihuang.

Director Zhang chatted with Ye Chen for a while and then said to a beautiful woman next to him: "Xiao Li, you are responsible for helping Teacher Ye get familiar with the crew. If you need anything, Xiao Ye, you can come to me directly."

Ye Chen nodded and left the office with Xiaoli.

"Teacher Ye, you were so awesome as Emperor Qin that day. If I hadn't been in modern times, I would have knelt down to say hello to you when I saw you."

Xiaoli is very beautiful, one of those super classy beauties.

She was in her early twenties and exuded the aura of youth. She spoke to Ye Chen from the bottom of her heart with respect.

"Haha, no, that's a bit exaggerated. I'm actually a newbie too, and I still have a lot to learn."

Ye Chen said modestly.

"Teacher Ye, you are too humble. By the way, can we take a photo together?"

"no problem."

Xiaoli happily took out her phone and the two of them took a selfie.

When taking the photo, the two bodies were almost touching each other. The fragrance of a girl hit him, making Ye Chen feel a small fire burning in his heart, but he quickly regained his composure.

He knows his identity. Although he has acted in two movies, he is not a big star yet. He must remain humble. His focus is also on filming. As for other things, he is not qualified to think about it.

After the group photo was finished, Xiaoli specially added Ye Chen’s WeChat account.

in a separate room.

Ye Chen picked up the script and started reading it.

This play tells the story of the Warring States Period. Can Jian Feixue came to the Qin Palace to assassinate the King of Qin three years ago, but failed in the end.

Three years later, an assassin named Wuming also came to assassinate King Qin.

In order to assassinate the King of Qin, Wuming practiced the unique skill of killing one person in ten steps.

In order to get closer to the King of Qin, Wuming found Can Jian and Feixue and killed them both, gaining the King of Qin's trust.

In the main hall, Wuming failed in the assassination and finally died in the random arrows.

This drama is exactly the same as the "Hero" script that Ye Chen saw in his previous life.

This plot is basically a traditional martial arts drama.

Although the plots of the past life and this world are the same, the connotations of the two dramas are completely different.

The previous life of "Heroes" contained a lot more meaning.

Because of this, the audience has seen more things through martial arts.

This also made the film a success, and it was even listed in the top ten weekly magazines and rated as one of the top ten films in the world.

But the whole style of this script is martial arts-style fighting.

Although it gives people a very refreshing feeling, it has no soul.

This script should be a draft and must be changed, otherwise it will be difficult to reach the heights of the previous life.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen stood up with the script in hand.

Arriving at the director's room, Ye Chen knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Marven pushed the door open and saw Director Zhang looking down at the script.

His brows tightened, as if he had encountered some difficulty.

"Director Zhang, I want to talk to you about the script. I have some humble opinions about the script." Ye Chen said very modestly.

Director Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, sit down, I'm also studying the script, tell me your thoughts on this script."

Although he is an internationally renowned director, Zhang Mou is very humble and has no airs.

The more famous people are, the less they regard themselves as big shots, especially directors like Director Zhang, who have a deep love for film and television.

"Director Zhang, after reading this script, I feel that although the rhythm of the whole script is very tight and the writing is very enjoyable, it lacks some soul."

Ye Chen took a look at Director Zhang's expression.

After all, he is just an extra, he has only made two movies, and now he is giving advice to a major international director. Ye Chen is worried that the other person will think that he is too arrogant and will cause him displeasure.

However, after listening to Ye Chen's words, Director Zhang's eyes lit up and he said, "No soul? Come on, what do you think can make this drama have a soul?"

The reason why Director Zhang was so excited was because he also saw the same problem as Ye Chen.

This script looks great, but it really lacks soul.

If a movie has no soul, it may not necessarily have a bad box office, but it will be difficult to achieve great success.

A great director like Director Zhang wants more than just box office, but treats his films as art.

He looked at Ye Chen seriously and even took out his notebook.

Ye Chen admired Director Zhang's attitude very much.

"Director Zhang, you see, Emperor Qin is a character who unified the six kingdoms. He has made great contributions to history, so I don't think he should be a villain that everyone wants to kill."

After listening to Ye Chen's words, Director Zhang seemed to have thought of something and said quickly: "Keep talking."

Ye Chen said: "Director Zhang, if we design it this way, Can Jian and Feixue's assassination of King Qin was not because of failure, but because they could kill but did not kill for some reason."

Zhang Mou was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked: "Why can you kill him but not kill him?"

"The reason is very simple. For the sake of the world, King Qin cannot kill."

"The world?"

Zhang Mou muttered to himself, and then fell into deep thought.

"For the sake of the world?"
