Even though Lin Xi was not young anymore, Lin Xi was still a newcomer in the circle. Moreover, because he was a cameo, he did not have any company behind him. Even if he became famous, if it was a small company, they would basically want to earn quick money. Basically, they would spend all kinds of money, which would not be beneficial to his future development.
As for big companies, there were too many artists in them, and the popular ones were like carps crossing the river. There were not too many of them. A character like Lin Xi had no weight at all in them, and his agent would not train him well.
Therefore, Jiujiu did not intend to let Lin Xi sign a contract with a company at all. She was going to open a studio for Lin Xi in the future, and she would be in charge of all of Lin Xi's affairs.
However, if Lin Xi did not want her to intervene in the future, she would open her own company to train people.
However, in the voice message the next day, after Jiujiu told Lin Xi about this idea, Lin Xi was even happier. He even asked Jiujiu if she wanted to register a company or something. He said that he was very relieved to have Jiujiu take care of those things for him.
Lin Xi was already twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but when he talked to her, he was like a child.
Jiujiu often felt that if she was a liar, she would definitely lie to Lin Xi for a lifetime.
Because such a cute and silly child is really not many.
However, Jiujiu's matter of opening a studio for Lin Xi was settled.
Although it was called a studio, in fact, there were only two bosses and employees. The boss was Jiujiu, and the employee was Lin Xi.
Jiujiu did not have resources, and Jiujiu did not have connections either. Therefore, she could only rely on Steamed Bun's data to find resources for Lin Xi.
It was also a coincidence.
After Jiujiu set up Lin Xi's studio, Steamed Bun told Jiujiu about the famous director's audition for the male lead.
This director's name was Eren. He was born in China and grew up abroad. He was exposed to Western education since he was a child, so his thinking was also closer to the West. Before getting this script, he was already very famous abroad.
Of course, his stubbornness was just as big as his fame.
This director was completely different from the ones in China when it came to casting. In China, whoever was more famous and had more fans would definitely be given priority. However, Alan was different. He had to think that the person was suitable before he chose the person for the role. Moreover, he had very strict requirements when it came to choosing roles. Even if it was a small role and he couldn't find a suitable one, he wouldn't start filming. He had once delayed filming for three years just for a supporting role.
However, there were always benefits to being stubborn. For example, his waiting gave everyone a nearly perfect film, which swept the Oscars of that year and set a record for the most awards won by a film. It could be said that his glory was limitless.
When people get older, they start to want to return to their hometown, and Allen is no exception.
Even though he had grown up abroad, he could not forget everything about his hometown. That was why he came back.
After Alan came back, he accidentally got a script from his good friend. After reading it, he became obsessed. He wanted to turn the script into a movie and present it on the big screen.
As soon as the news that Allen was going to make a movie spread, many sponsors immediately appeared.
However, Allan rejected all the sponsors.
Because he refused to sponsor the people of Upper Saiyan.
Every role in his movie must be an actor who agrees with the role, not a person who is an investor. He is a movie maker, not a philanthropist. He will never do something like spoiling a pot of soup because of a rat's excrement.
Therefore, Alan would rather invest in the movie with his own money and insist that every role is chosen by himself.
With Alan's gold medal as a director, the selection of the role went smoothly, but in the male lead, there was a bit of a jam.
The male lead of this movie was set as a Chinese teacher, so not only did he have to have a face, but he also had to have a brain.
In Alan's words, he was a scholar at first glance.
In this era, it is naturally impossible to have people who have not read books, but what Alan wants is not a person who has read books, but an actor who can read books at first glance. This request can be said to have stumped many people.
There were many actors who came to audition, but none of them were what Alan wanted. Alan looked for an actor for more than three months. In the end, he had no choice but to hold an audition.
As for Jiujiu, she directly forwarded the news of the audition to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi only replied to Jiujiu's message at 11 pm, "Do you think I can do it?"
When he first saw this news, Lin Xi was excited, but after that, he was a little confused.
He was confused about whether he could do it or not.
There was a ranking in the entertainment industry.
Singers who sang looked down on idols who relied on their looks to sell their character. Actors who acted in television dramas looked down on singers who sang, and those who made movies looked down on those who acted in television dramas.
It could be said that movie stars were the top actors.
And for a director like Alan, the male lead in the movie, his position was unprecedentedly high.
Therefore, Lin Xi was a little worried that a person like him was not worthy of this movie.
After Lin Xi sent an uncertain message, Jiujiu immediately made a voice call.
Jiujiu went straight to the point and asked, "Why do you think you can't do it?"
Lin Xi said, "I've always been an extra and haven't acted in many television dramas. Now, I haven't acted as a second male lead. I'm worried that I can't do it."
"I don't think it's a problem that you can't act. It's a problem that you don't have confidence in yourself. Many people, including Director Alan himself, climbed up step by step from a nobody."
"But he's talented."
For example, Director Alan had won the Best Newcomer Award in his first film.
As for him, since he graduated from university, other than going from an extra to a fifth or sixth tier supporting role, he had not improved much at all.
"What do you mean by talent?" Jiujiu asked, "I know that some people are born with IQ at the top of the pyramid, but don't forget that most people in this world are mediocre people. For example, Wu Nianyu. Do you still remember?"
Lin Xi said, "Yes."
Wu Nianyu, an actor who had been an extra for ten years and won the Best Supporting Role with one role. Now, he was an actor who had won so many awards that his hands were sore.
"Look, he's such a capable person, but he's been an extra for more than ten years before he started acting as a supporting role. What about you? You've only been an extra for two or three years and you're already acting as a supporting role. Don't you think you're very capable?"
Lin Xi. "…"
"Do you still remember that sentence? There was once an opportunity in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. If God gives me another chance, I must tell that girl that I love her?"
Lin Xi said, "Yes."
