Turn bad luck into good luck [Entertainment circle]

"A total of 48 yuan." The taxi driver glanced at the meter and spit out a number quickly.

Shen Du took Zhang Shiwu out of his wallet and handed it over. He opened the car door and got out. With one hand on the car door, he raised his hand to check the time.

10: 11.

It's neither too early nor too late.

The driver just didn't have much change, so he fumbled in the small bag for a while before handing over a one-yuan banknote with another coin added on it, and a hole was torn in the middle of the banknote, which was very crumpled. people dislike.

The uncle driver was a little embarrassed.

Shen Du waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care, and put the money casually into his trousers pocket. When he looked up, he saw that the red light on the opposite side had turned into a green light, and walked quickly through the long zebra crossing along the crowd.

Last night he went to bed early on purpose to gather enough energy for today's audition.The location of the audition was set in a business building rented out in the city center, Shen Du had just entered the lobby when he saw the elevator door not far away was about to close slowly, before he had time to think, he hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute! "

The elevator door slowly opened again.

Shen Du trotted over, and when he entered, he found only a young man standing inside. He looked like he had just grown up, his face was a bit too delicate, his face was clean, with a little baby fat, and his skin was fine. He was wearing ordinary white short-sleeved jeans and jeans. The whole person is refreshing and neat.

"Thank you." Shen Du thanked him.

"It's okay." The other party smiled politely at him after seeing him come in and stood up, and found that Shen Du was still standing there after glancing at the bright floor key, and couldn't help asking curiously, "Are you going to audition too?"

Shen Du nodded subconsciously, "Yes. You too..." He quickly realized, tentatively said the name of the crew, ""The Legend of the Queen of Swallows"?"

The young man smiled brightly: "Hello, my name is Sun Yiquan."

Shen Du introduced his name, and the more he looked at Sun Yiquan, the more he felt that the other person's face was familiar, as if he had met him somewhere, but he just couldn't remember it.

Perhaps his gaze was too obvious, Sun Yiquan touched the back of his head, a dimple appeared on his fleshy cheek: "Do you think I look familiar but can't remember?"

He didn't care about it, but was a little shy, "Actually, I started acting when I was five years old. Have you seen the movie "The Song Dynasty"? I played the little emperor in it."

When Sun Yiquan mentioned this, Shen Du immediately remembered that the name Sun Yiquan still reminded him a little bit.

As a well-known child star, Sun Yiquan was spotted by the director of the large-scale historical drama "The Great Song Dynasty" at a young age, and played the role of the little emperor who played a lot of roles in it. good.

It can be seen that the other party is indeed talented in acting.If nothing goes wrong, Sun Yiquan's stardom is much smoother than other peers.

There is never a shortage of child stars in the entertainment circle, but few of them can really become famous when they grow up.They are uniquely endowed, with their lovely faces, they have carved marks in the hearts of the audience early.

Wait until you grow up, and then do a good job of publicity, and you don't have to worry about no way out.

Provided that--

The faces of these child stars are not crooked.

After all, it is a world of faces.Besides, most of the child stars were likable when they were young. If the appearance is so crooked in a few years, the old audience will definitely not be the first to accept it.

But Sun Yiquan was really unlucky, and he happened to belong to the Changwai group.

In fact, after he was ten years old, he was strictly forbidden by his family to accept plays, for fear of delaying his studies.

During the few years when he just faded out of the audience's field of vision, I don't know if the food at his house is so good that Sun Yiquan's body is as fat as a ball, with greasy fat piled up on his stomach and face. Shengsheng was squeezed into a big round face that he couldn't bear to look at directly.

In addition, in the photos taken unintentionally by fans, he is wearing big flowered pants and flip flops, squatting on the side of the road in an imageless way, eating chicken legs with a greasy face, and the outline of fat piled up under the thin clothes is simply amazing. Could not be clearer.

Comparable to the scene of a disaster.

The few fans immediately exploded.

So Sun Yiquan, who was forcibly "returned" in advance, actually got a hot search on Weibo based on this photo.

Fans of passers-by said one after another: ...it can't be more disillusioned!

Shen Du didn't know what happened later, but I only remembered that a paparazzi photographed Sun Yiquan who lost weight quickly, but for some reason, the other party did not choose to re-enter the show business circle, and then the other party never appeared again, as if he returned to ordinary people life.

As for the one standing in front of him now, it is probably Sun Yiquan who lost weight quickly after the photo incident.

This surprised Shen Du a little.

It turned out that the other party once participated in an audition after losing weight?But he remembered that the name Sun Yiquan did not appear in the play in his previous life.Could it be that the other party was not selected?

Shen Du covered the emotions in his eyes, and showed a little surprise on his face at the right time: "I remembered!" He looked at Sun Yiquan and smiled, "Can you sign me later? My mother has always liked you Woolen cloth."

"Ah? Really?" Sun Yiquan was a little excited and incoherent, "Yes, of course! As long as you don't dislike me, hehe." He smirked for a while, and finally remembered something, "By the way, you are going to try Which character is it?"

"The tentative one is General Qi Gu'an," Shen Du said, "What about you?"

Sun Yiquan felt a little embarrassed again: "I chose the perverted prince, it's very interesting, I don't know if I can choose, I'm so nervous!"

"It's okay, take it easy, you..." When Shen Du was about to say something, the elevator opened, so he stopped talking and walked out with Sun Yiquan.

A conspicuous table was placed directly opposite, with two staff members sitting behind it, and a promotional newspaper next to it, which was the audition location for "The Legend of the Swallow Queen".

The staff asked them a few words to register their identity information, and then gave them a number plate and a few blank papers, on which were the lines of all the characters in this audition.

"Go straight in and turn left." The staff stood up and pointed to them.

Shen Du thanked him, and found the audition room with Sun Yiquan. There were about [-] or [-] people standing in the hall separated from the room. In a daze, others gathered in twos and threes to chat.

The tension was palpable on most faces.

Sun Yiquan was very nervous in the elevator just now, but now he calmed down strangely, looked around curiously, turned his head and pulled Shen Du to find a corner with few people and walked over.

The two stood together and memorized the lines several times.

More than a dozen people came in one after another, Shen Du raised his face and turned his sore neck, just in time to see a person with a face full of tears coming out of it, looking extremely depressed.

The following ones all looked like they were being hit, which made the rest of the people in the room feel a layer of gloom.

After a while, Sun Yiquan's number was called.

Shen Du cheered him up in a low voice: "Come on."

Sun Yiquan clenched his fists and took a deep breath, turned his back to Shen Du and made a scissors hand, then opened the door of the room and walked in.

Ten minutes later, Sun Yiquan walked out with a smile on his face.

Seeing the other party's uncontrollable excitement and excitement, Shen Du guessed the result. Sun Yiquan was about to talk to him when he heard the staff calling Shen Du's number.

Shen Du smiled at him, and Sun Yiquan only had time to mouth "Come on" to Shen Du.

in the room.

Shen Du stood still and introduced himself first: "Hello teachers, my name is Shen Du, and the role in the audition is Qi Gu'an."

The room was neither big nor small. There was a row of long tables opposite, and three people sat behind it. Since they were not important roles, there were only representatives sent by the assistant director, screenwriter, and investors.

Shen Du confirmed the identities of the three with just a glance.

The middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses sitting in the middle is the assistant director Zhang Gang, the young woman in a plaid shirt on his left is the screenwriter Luo Mi, and the one on the right should be that representative.

He remembered that director Zhang made a film that was shortlisted for the best film at the Cannes Film Festival in his previous life, and the screenwriter was Romy. Although it was only a nomination, it was quite good.

But it's too early to think about that.

As soon as Shen Du's words fell, the assistant director sitting in the middle raised his head and drooled, rubbed his eyebrows with two fingers, and signaled Shen Du: "Let's get started." The other two faces were also somewhat tired.

Shen Du frowned secretly.

It seems that there were too many people auditioning, which made the three teachers a little impatient, not to mention that Sun Yiquan, who went out just now, should have performed well. Zhuyu is in front. If Shen Du wants to successfully win this role, Shen Du must let them see it in front of them. Only bright.

There was only one scene in the script given to them by the crew. The general returned in blood, but was given poisoned wine in public in the Golden Luan Hall. There were three lines in total.

Shen Du stood on the spot and thought for two seconds before closing his eyes. When he opened them again, his face was calm, but under the calmness he seemed to be suppressing a strong sadness, his figure was still upright, his lips were slightly pursed, with a full smile on his face. The coldness of the body, as if he was summoned urgently just after leaving the battlefield and before washing up.

He held one hand on his waist, his palm slightly curved as if holding a sword hilt, and the other hand was hanging powerlessly by his side.

He stood quietly with his eyes lowered, then raised his eyes suddenly as if he heard something, and said with a serious look: "Your Majesty said so."

Then his eyes flickered, he stretched out his hand without hesitation, circled his hands together to form a wine glass, and poured it down neatly with his head raised.

He untied the sword at his waist, covered the sword with one hand and touched it as if it were a treasure, his body swayed uncontrollably, but he just quickly wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand.

His calm face suddenly changed, the corners of his eyes were a little red, but he didn't shed tears. Instead, he relaxed as if he had unloaded the burden of many years.

"Don't cry," he said in a low hoarse voice, stroking the sword body over and over again, with a smile and a cry on his face, he didn't know whether he was telling himself or comforting someone, he said so, A line of crystal water slipped down in an instant.

He turned around, not like what people saw at this time, his shoulders trembled slightly, but what he said made people feel sore——

"This time I can finally get a good night's sleep."

The indescribable sadness in the air seemed to condense in an instant, making people unable to recover for a while.

Shen Du turned around, with a peaceful smile on his face, and the chilling and dull feeling just now completely disappeared.He bent down and bowed to the opposite side, indicating that his performance was over.

However, the assistant director changed his impatient appearance, sat up straight, and stared at Shen Du with burning eyes——

"You acted well, but now, I suddenly have a bold idea..."
