Everyone had their own preferences. When two people of similar skill stood before him and he had to choose, he would definitely choose the one he was more familiar with or the one he had a better relationship with.
Perhaps they had closer interests or came from the same hometown. All of these would affect the outcome.
Even Steven was no exception. It was inevitable that he would have such tendencies.
Steven and Rasfa both looked at Chen Zhao.
"Then this Chinese actor?" Steven asked.
"Do you think he's suitable?"
"From his performance just now, I think he's pretty good," Steven said. Steven said, "Also, this is a commercial film, not an artistic film, so the acting skills just need to be passable. Also, some independent film actors always have too many ideas that they want to express in the film. This kind of actor is difficult to communicate with, so I prefer an actor that I can control."
"Since you think he's suitable, then let's do it," Chen Zhao said.
"Okay, let's do it."
"Try to keep the pay low," Chen Zhao said.
As one of the investors, the lower the pay, the lower his investment.
All the actors looked at the three nervously.
In the end, Steven picked up the microphone and stood up. "Everyone, we've come to a conclusion. Chinese actor Wang He, please stay. Also, your manager should stay too. Thank you for your cooperation. Thank you."
With that, Steven, Chen Zhao, and Rasfa turned and left.
Some actors who didn't get the role were obviously unhappy or wanted to argue with Steven.
This was a very common thing on any set or audition studio.
Some actors were too arrogant and felt that everyone else was trash apart from themselves.
But the security guards quickly cleared the place.
Many people kept staring at Wang He, their eyes filled with even crazier jealousy than Ban Ke's.
Even Li Qingyang and Zhang Mao, who were his partners, were no exception.
In fact, even Zhou Xiaonan felt that Wang He might be the least likely to get a role out of her three actors.
Because Wang He's acting skills were obvious, he'd always been criticized by his anti-fans in China for being exaggerated or expressionless.
On the other hand, Li Qingyang and Zhang Mao both had their own outstanding acting skills.
Wang He's only advantage was his popularity.
But this was Hollywood. Wang He's popularity might not be useless, but it would at least be less effective.
But now, Wang He had actually obtained the character and defeated so many competitors.
"Mr. Wang, please follow me. Also, is your manager here?" A staff member who was responsible for leading the way came up to Wang He.
Wang He turned to look at Zhou Xiaonan. Zhou Xiaonan quickly said, "I am, I am, I am his agent."
"In that case, please follow me."
Zhou Xiaonan left Li Qingyang and Zhang Mao behind and led Wang He to follow behind the staff.
After knocking on Steven's office door, Wang He and Zhou Xiaonan entered the room.
The first thing she saw was Chen Zhao with his legs crossed and Ge You lying on the sofa.
On the other hand, Steven was sitting at his desk. Rasfa was holding a glass of red wine and sipping it carefully.
"Mr. Steven, Mr. Rasfa, and Mr. Chen, nice to meet you." Zhou Xiaonan led Wang He to greet them.
"Hello."
"We have now roughly confirmed that Mr. Wang will be the male lead of our movie, so we would like to talk about the issue of remuneration."
"This movie is not a super production. The budget is less than eighty million dollars, so we cannot give Mr. Wang a high remuneration. We need to consider many issues, such as risks."
"I understand," Zhou Xiaonan immediately said. "Our company is willing to invest in Mr. Steven's new movie."
Everyone rolled their eyes. Who wants your investment?
The last thing Steven lacked was investment.
"I'm sorry, but this movie is between the three of us. We do not accept other investments."
Zhou Xiaonan was secretly shocked. Hollywood was the most averse to external investments.
Even the financial giants on Wall Street coveted Hollywood's profits, but they could not get close to it.
However, Chen Ke's cousin could actually invest his own money in a Hollywood movie.
Zhou Xiaonan was annoyed at her rashness a few days ago.
Although this guy was not famous, he was probably a big shot in Hollywood.
If she had known earlier, she would have tried to build a good relationship with him.
"Wang He can participate for free, but I hope that you can give him some face when you announce it."
"We can announce that Mr. Wang's remuneration is five million dollars."
Zhou Xiaonan smiled. She was very satisfied with this.
It seemed like Wang He was working for free, but when the movie was released and the box office was a hit …
Wang He's remuneration would be many times higher.
"Also, this role has some high-intensity action scenes, so I hope Mr. Wang can stay in America for relevant training."
"Of course, I'll arrange the training for him."
"No, I mean let him be responsible." Steven pointed at Chen Zhao.
"F * ck, Steven, you're giving me trouble again."
"You just need to give him some pointers."
"No, I don't want trouble. Fali is about to give birth. I have to stay home with her."
"F * ck, Fali is not even five months old. Can't you find a better excuse?"
"How about I introduce you to a friend of mine? Her fighting skills are definitely top-notch. She was the one who taught me how to fight back then."
"Oh? She taught you how to fight? "
"Yes," Chen Zhao said. "She's a former Marine Corps instructor. She can be a movement coach."
Wang He's thoughts were completely different from Zhou Xiaonan's.
He thought that Chen Zhao was scary. He even knew a Marine Corps instructor.
On the other hand, Zhou Xiaonan thought that Chen Zhao had a wide network.
"Sure. Since you think it's okay, you can find a movement coach. Anyway, you can't run away when you lose money."
"I won't lose money."
"Mr. Wang, when can you sign the contract?" Steven asked.
"Anytime."
"Then come to my studio early tomorrow. This is my name card. Also, please leave your contact information so that Mr. Wang can have professional training."
"If there's nothing else, we'll go back and prepare."
Zhou Xiaonan left with Wang He. But after leaving the set, Zhou Xiaonan and Wang He stood at the entrance.
"Sister Nan, aren't we going back to the hotel?"
