Chapter 10: Searching for the "Killer" - Kenshiro!
"Oh? You want to act? What a pity! I don't have money to pay your salary!" Zhou Shaoming's face showed a teasing expression, and he still couldn't forget that he was penniless now.
"What's the pay?" Kristen pinched Zhou Shaoming's waist fat with annoyance and pinched hard.
"Ah yo, you beat up the director! Now it's even more hopeless!" Zhou Shaoming cried out in pain.
The beauty beside me exhaled like a fragrant orchid, stretching out her bright red tongue to lightly lick her lips, that delicate pink lip, just a few centimeters from my own.
The sudden surge of flames in his heart made Zhou Shaoming's mouth dry, and Kristina's silver bell-like voice rang in his ears: "Bad guy, I'm acting for free, is that okay now?"
Feeling the warmth and breath on his face, Zhou Shaoming's face turned red, and he said awkwardly: "This... this... my movie hasn't been invested in yet, but I'm thinking of going to find a few actors today to see if they can invest in this play with me."
"Let the actors invest together? That's a good idea, I can also invest, but I only have $30,000, however, the box office share must be counted as mine, and I'm also an investor!" Christina is very optimistic about Zhou Shaoming's movie, she's overflowing with confidence.
But wouldn't any actor be excited when they first saw Saw?
That's the charm of good movies!
$1.5 million has $300,000 now, and it's already one-fifth of the way there! Zhou Shaoming excitedly jumped up, it seems that success is not far from himself!
"Thank you, thank you Kristina! I just realized that I didn't kidnap a beauty, but a little rich lady!" Zhou Shaoming exclaimed with joy, dancing with excitement.
"Get out! You'd better settle other investments quickly! I don't want my hard-earned money to go down the drain! If this play doesn't make money, you'll be waiting!" Christina said with a stern face, pretending to be fierce.
"Alright, I'm leaving now! To find the actor to invest together!" Zhou Shaoming hastily put on his coat and was about to rush out the door.
"Well, you'd better put me back on the pommel then, and get me a cushion too. My butt hurts from sitting on the ground." Kristina said with a smile, holding out her hands.
"Hmm... I believe you'll be able to leave soon." Zhou Shaoming hesitated for a moment, but still cuffed Kristina to the sink, brought over food, water and a cushion, making Kristina's stay slightly more comfortable.
"Hurry back, kidnapper!" came Kristina's soft and gentle voice from behind. Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but stop in his tracks, turning around to look at Kristina, who hadn't slept all night and had finally fallen asleep hugging the toilet, his determination growing stronger.
His blood boiled again as he welcomed a new day. Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath and walked out of the house with determination.
Just a little more effort, and you'll be closer to your dreams!
This sentence is what Zhou Shaoming says to himself in Chinese in his heart.
－－－
Zhou Shaoming didn't think he was actually a member of the director's guild, maybe it was because of his cheap foster father's identity in the past. Later, he indulged in the red lights and green wine with beautiful women, which made this director's identity unknown. Playboy, spendthrift, idle second-generation rich kid and other reputations have made a name for themselves.
Zhou Shaoming first ran to the director's guild, and after repeatedly confirming with the staff that there was no worry about plagiarism, he boldly went to find the actors from Saw to discuss the film.
Tobin Bell, American actor. Born in Queens, New York City. Bell often plays the roles of criminals and serial killers, such as the villain in the Saw franchise, and has made numerous guest appearances on TV movies.
If we're talking about the soul of Saw, it's Tobin Bell. Without him, this most influential horror movie in history would be greatly reduced in appeal. So while any other actor in Saw could be replaced, Tobin Bell absolutely cannot be.
It just so happens that Bell lives in a small town only fifty kilometers away. Zhou Shaoming took several buses to get to the town in order to save money.
Zhou Shaoming's $2,150 was spent 623 dollars because of running around, now all the funds are only over one thousand dollars, must spend every penny on the blade.
Will he agree to act and invest some more money to help me make this movie? Zhou Shaoming had no idea at all.
Fresh and elegant air, old-fashioned American architecture, occasionally a few elderly people walking on the green grassy path, clean roads with occasional passing cars, bringing children's laughter out of the window.
It's right here!
Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath, adjusted his windbreaker to make himself look more trustworthy, and then rang the doorbell with confidence.
"Ding Dong!"
Before long, the door opened and old Bell appeared at the entrance.
Zhou Shaoming's eyes fluttered and Bell's basic information appeared before him:
Tobin Bell
Born August 7, 1942, now 57 years old
Born in Queens, New York, USA
Nationality American
Occupation: Actor
Appearance 62
Height 163 cm
Acting 85
Potential 80
Charming 89
Wisdom 90
Affinity 40
Overall evaluation: acting style, good at playing sinister and ruthless roles, suitable for horror movies, thriller movies, science fiction movies and so on.
Good guy, acting skills up to 85, potential is also good, but looks like a weirdo, not playing a murderer would be a waste.
Time had left its mark on his face, with deep lines crisscrossing it, and his hair was flecked with white, much of which had fallen out to reveal a prominent forehead. Tobin's eyebrows were almost entirely white as well, and at first glance seemed nonexistent; his eyes were not large, but they gleamed with piercing intensity, their mild gaze seeming to bore into one's very soul like a sharp arrow, inspiring reverence.
He wore a hoodie with the hood up, and since he wasn't very tall, Tobin didn't look up, just slightly raised his gaze upwards, it was such a simple action, a glance, that made Zhou Shaoming, who was already quite tall, seem to have shrunk by a head.
"Hey kid, who are you looking for?" Tobin asked indifferently.
"Hello, Mr. Tobin, I'm Zhou Shiming, a director, and I'd like to talk to you about a really cool script for a milestone film because I think you're very suitable for my male lead."
When he came, Zhou Shaoming had already thought about what he should say and how to move this seemingly extremely clever Tobin.
His words contained information that an actor could not refuse: director, cool script, milestone, male lead!
"Oh? You look very young! When I was your age, I wasn't so calm." Tobin's face showed no reaction, he just stepped aside to open the door and welcomed Zhou Shaoming in with his body language.
"Thank you!" Zhou Shaoming slightly bowed and followed Tobin into the room.
The decor in the room was simple, suggesting Tobin wasn't a complicated person.
