I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 129 Recommendation of Wang Zhi
"Director Ning, you wrote the script, and you definitely know more about the actors than I do, so I won't interfere."

Cheng Sheng refused to answer Ning Hao's question.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you," Ning Hao apologized upon hearing this.

"There's no trouble at all, but I'd like to recommend an actor to you."

Cheng Sheng originally did not intend to get involved in the "Crazy Stone" matter, but suddenly the image of Wang Zhi riding a horse flashed through his mind, which made him think.

"Oh, what actor?" Ning Hao asked curiously.

Cheng Sheng didn't say anything. Instead, he led Ning Hao out of the conference room, stood at the door, and pointed at Wang Zhi, who was teaching Da Tiantian to ride a horse, and said, "How about letting her play Bao Shihong's wife in the script?"

"she!"

Looking at Wang Zhi, who has a delicate appearance and a heroic air, Ning Hao compared her to Bao Shihong's wife in the script and found that they were actually quite a good match.

Crazy Stone is a male-dominated film, with very few female characters.

Bao Shihong's wife has the most screen time and can be considered the female lead in this movie.

But her role was less prominent than even a supporting one, so there was no problem with casting her.

“Okay.” Ning Hao readily agreed. After all, he was just a minor character, so agreeing to Cheng Sheng's request wouldn't hurt.

"Wang Zhi".

Seeing that Ning Hao had agreed, Cheng Sheng shouted loudly to Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi, who was helping Da Tiantian onto the horse, heard someone call her and subconsciously turned her head, then saw Cheng Sheng waving at her.

Wang Zhi was taken aback at first, then secretly delighted.

She turned to run towards Cheng Sheng, but unconsciously let go of his hands.

"Ahhh... Zhizhi, help!"

Before Da Tian Tian could even sit up properly, she was suddenly let go and fell to one side, prompting her to immediately call for help from Wang Zhi.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhi immediately became anxious.

Fortunately, she was quite agile. With a leap, she flipped onto the horse, pulled back the falling Da Tian Tian, ​​and then pulled the reins. The horse immediately neighed and galloped across the set.

"Director Cheng, you should recommend this actress to act in a martial arts drama. She can play a female knight-errant. With her amazing horsemanship skills, she will definitely become a hit."

Seeing Wang Zhi's reaction in just a few seconds, and her graceful and unrestrained demeanor, he couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

Ning Hao's words were both right and wrong.

According to the original future development, Wang Zhi gained a lot of attention for her role as the gentle and pure school beauty Qiu Ya in the movie "Goodbye Mr. Loser". Her popularity in the film and television industry rose rapidly, so much so that she was hailed by netizens as the new "national first love".

With Qiu Ya's rise to fame, Wang Zhi has also gained access to many high-quality film and television resources, especially in the film industry, where she has starred in numerous film works.

Among them are the highly anticipated film series "The Wandering Earth," in which she plays Han Duoduo, a female astronaut with explosive combat skills. Moreover, she plays a married couple with Wu Jing, which has brought her considerable attention.

Many people believe that Wang Zhi's acting skills have been underestimated. Whether it is the gentle Qiu Ya, the dashing Han Duoduo, or Gao Shuhua in "The Chess Player" who is gentle on the surface but independent and clear-headed on the inside, the three characters are different and are perfectly interpreted in the same person. It has to be said that Wang Zhi is really strong in terms of plasticity.

Despite playing so many classic roles, Wang Zhi, who has been in the industry for 20 years, has never become truly famous.

It seems like the character is famous, but the person isn't.

It's important to know that Wang Zhi has both good looks and acting skills, as well as a great temperament, making her capable of easily handling any role.

Even so, she still hasn't become a top-tier female celebrity.

Cheng Sheng believes there are reasons why Wang Zhi hasn't become famous over the years.

Her acting skills are fine; the main problem lies in her appearance.

Wang Zhi is not the kind of stunning beauty who dazzles everyone at first glance. Instead, she is more intellectual and elegant. Although she has a hot figure, her face lacks distinctive features, making it very difficult for her to stand out if she doesn't find the right role.

There are many beautiful actresses in the film and television industry, and even many internet celebrities are very beautiful and sometimes act well, but it is very difficult for them to become popular.

For an actress to become a sensation, she needs more than just beauty and unique features; she also needs memorable qualities. If she can't find her niche and doesn't get the right roles, even if she's incredibly beautiful, it's hard for her to truly become famous, and even if she does, it's just a fleeting moment of fame.

As the saying goes, a small success depends on promotion, but a big success depends on fate. In the film and television industry, where there are more monks than porridge, it is becoming increasingly difficult for actors to become famous simply by relying on their looks and acting skills. They also need the right opportunity, the right role, and external support to stand out from the crowd.

Wang Zhi is a case in point; she may have had some minor successes, but she never achieved explosive popularity.

"Ouch..."

Wang Zhi, holding the reins with one hand and wrapping her other arm around Da Tiantian's waist, rode her horse to a stop in front of Cheng Sheng.

Then he jumped down and safely helped Da Tian Tian down.

"Sweetie, I'm so sorry, I almost made you fall."

Wang Zhi apologized to Da Tian Tian.

"It's alright, I should thank you for saving me, otherwise I would have been in big trouble if I had fallen."

Da Tian Tian smiled and stuck out her tongue.

"Director Cheng."

Seeing that Da Tian Tian was really alright, Wang Zhi then turned to Cheng Sheng and spoke.

"Come in with me."

Cheng Sheng said to Wang Zhi.

"Ah."

Wang Zhi nodded and followed her inside, while Da Tian Tian, ​​who was next to her, also entered the conference room.

Cheng Sheng glanced at Da Tiantian with surprise, but he didn't chase her away, since there was no need to hide this matter.

"Wang Zhi, this is director Ning Hao, and his wife Xing Aina."

Cheng Sheng introduced Wang Zhi.

"Hello, Director Ning," Wang Zhi greeted politely.

Xing Aina grabbed Wang Zhi's hand first and said, "That's really great. I'm so envious of you riding a horse."

"Thank you."

Wang Zhi blushed.

"So dashing and heroic, even ancient female warriors couldn't compare," Ning Hao praised.

"Alright, stop praising her. I called you earlier because Director Ning Hao's new movie is short of a female lead. Do you want to give it a try?"

Seeing that Wang Zhi seemed a little uncomfortable with the praise, Cheng Sheng immediately changed the subject.

Wang Zhi was taken aback at first, then overjoyed and excitedly exclaimed, "The female lead? Me?"

“Yes, it’s you,” Ning Hao said with a smile.

"Really? Can I?"

Wang Zhi still couldn't quite believe it.

She is just a newcomer in the film and television industry, and only played the role of a concubine in director Cheng Sheng's "The Great Tang Dynasty - Origins".

Although she was called a concubine, she only had one or two lines and hardly any role; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was just a background character.

Hearing this, Da Tiantian secretly felt happy for Wang Zhi.

Although she was a little envious, she wasn't jealous.

After spending the last few days with her, she found Wang Zhi to be a very nice person. He taught her a lot, not only how to ride a horse, but also some knowledge related to acting.

The two gradually became best friends.
