You can make it through

Gu's name is Gu Changhe. He is 65 this year. He has made countless movies and won numerous awards. Many people are vying to act in his plays.It's a pity that the old man looks gentle and kind, as if he has a good temper, but he is actually strict and picky, especially in the selection of actors. Unlike ordinary directors, he pays attention to the eye.The leading actors in many of his films are new actors who have never acted before, or even amateurs who meet by chance on the roadside.Some film critics once analyzed those actors he loves, all have a pair of clear eyes, sometimes sharp, sometimes soft, strong temperament but mixed with a subtle sense of vulnerability, there is a kind of contradictory beauty.When presented on the big screen, it is unforgettable.

Zhang Yang is very fond of Gu Lao.The two met for the first time. At that time, Zhang Yang was still a new actor who had just changed careers. Gu Lao gave him a small role in the new movie without saying a word, and promised him that if he met a suitable book in the future, he would definitely find him as the starring role. .This time, I got the book that Da Qi had been grinding for five years. Before anyone could recommend it, the candidate for the leading role popped up in Mr. Gu's mind, and it was he who first asked Li Dongyao to contact Zhang Yang.

At that time Zhang Yang fled to Yunnan, no one knew about him.Li Dongyao couldn't find anyone else, so he could only tell Mr. Gu the truth.Gu Lao doesn't pay attention to the right and wrong of the entertainment industry, but he also knows the darkness of the entertainment industry, and he is very angry after hearing this.He told Li Dongyao that Zhang Yang is a natural actor, if he can come back, please let him continue to act.

After learning that Zhang Yang came back from Yunnan, Mr. Gu originally wanted to find him in person, but Li Dongyao said that he is not in good condition now and needs some time to adjust.Let's meet again after his condition has adjusted.

Gu Lao was not in a hurry, and kept waiting for Zhang Yang.So when Zhang Yang finally appeared in front of him, Mr. Gu first looked him up and down carefully, and then smiled slowly and said: "It's okay, the breath is still there. I'm afraid you will wear it out!" He I was also worried that the complicated affairs in the entertainment industry would wear away what Zhang Yang had.Several rookie actors that Mr. Gu had used before walked out of his play, got tainted by the entertainment circle, and never came back again.Fortunately, the things that belonged to Zhang Yang are still there, and he has not lost them.

Zhang Yang respects Gu Lao very much, not only because he is good at making movies and he has given rare opportunities to newcomers, but also because he admires Gu Lao's character and persistence.Even in the film industry, there are not many people as pure as Gu Lao.He bowed deeply to Gu Lao and apologized for his lateness.He and Li Dongyao were almost half an hour late, because Li Dongyao said after he refused to visit Mr. Gu: "Since you don't get paid for nothing and don't accept the pie in the sky, let's sign a nurturing contract!"

"Compared to a one-time" relationship, I personally prefer a long-term and stable relationship, which is more conducive to cooperation." After rejecting his request to come and change the show, Li Dongyao put forward his idea.

"You said I'm going to send it right away, and I'm going to have it with you. Why doesn't it feel right! You know, I'm Party A and you are Party B." Li Dongyao added: "For the sake of fairness, I think the best The solution is that I will support you. After I support you, I will provide you with the resources you want, and you are responsible for meeting my personal needs. Of course, the needs must be my own initiative, and you cannot force me. For example, now I If you don’t want to post, you can’t insist on posting with me just to act in that movie. Anyway, I’m Party A and you are Party B.”

"Do you think this is feasible?" Li Dongyao sat across from him, looking straight into his eyes and asked him.

After hearing what he said, Zhang Yang laughed very loudly until his whole body trembled, his facial muscles twitched, and he was out of breath. He pointed to Li Dongyao and said, "Your Li family is so strange. Do you like to do this kind of play where you rush to adopt a starlet?! Your brother Li Xurong adopted me because I look like his old lover. What about you, why do you want to adopt me?"

"It looks good!" Li Dongyao looked at his face seriously and gave a very sincere answer.

Zhang Yang stared into his eyes, and after a minute, he slowly nodded, opened his mouth and said word by word: "Success."

Then Li Dongyao spent 15 minutes drawing up the maintenance contract as quickly as possible, clarifying the rights and obligations of Party A and Party B, defining what constitutes breach of contract, the price to be paid for breach of contract, and the most important contract period.

"Two years." Li Dongyao said.

"One year." Zhang Yang insisted.

The final nurturing contract is set for one year and will take effect immediately.After the two signed and sealed, they rushed to Gu Lao's studio.

Along the way, Zhang Yang was very silent.Li Dongyao knew why he was silent, so he drove quietly without disturbing him.Until the car drove into the cultural and creative park where Gu Lao's studio was located, Zhang Yang finally looked at him and said the first sentence: "In that contract, there is another item that must be added. The other party, the contract shall be terminated immediately, and the other party shall not be held accountable."

Li Dongyao didn't respond, and drove the car into the parking lot of the park.After getting out of the car, the two looked at each other across the car.Zhang Yang asked him again: "What do you think, boss?"

Li Dongyao supported the car body with his hands: "Then there must be another clause in the contract, you can't call me the boss, you have to call me Dongyao. If you call me wrong once, you will be punished once. The specific punishment method will be discussed later."

"No." Zhang Yang said.

"Objection is invalid!" Li Dongyao locked the car and walked in. Zhang Yang followed beside him. He saw the corner of his slightly curved mouth before realizing that the other party hadn't replied to his conditions, so he was almost passed over.

"If you agree to my conditions, I will agree to yours." Zhang Yang quickened half a step and went up the steps side by side with him.

"Then you call out first, Dongyao?" Li Dongyao stopped suddenly, put his hands in his pockets, and looked up at Zhang Yang who was standing on the upper step because he was a step and a half faster. The afternoon sun shone from behind him. Hidden in the light, the whole body is covered with a circle of fluffy gold.

"Dongyao." Zhang Yang yelled out in a steady tone after hesitating for a while.Think of it as a play, and everything becomes easier in no time.Zhang Yang figured it out instantly.

Li Dongyao stepped up the steps and put his arms around his shoulders: "Go, go to Gu Lao!"

"What about the contract?"

"Go back and change it, sign and seal it again."

"it is good."

Regarding the lateness of the two, Mr. Gu didn't take it seriously.After calling the two to sit down, he brought a cup of Wuyi Narcissus rock tea, and chatted with them about the new play while making the tea.

From his point of view, Mr. Gu told the general story, and then talked about his specific thoughts on this shooting.By the way, Li Dongyao, who was acting as the producer for the first time, expressed his need for funds.

"A lot of scenes this time will have to be set up, and the requirements for props are also very high. You know me, and you want to do the best." Gu Lao looked at him with a smile while sipping his tea.

Holding half a cup of tea, Li Dongyao responded straightforwardly: "It's also my first time making a film, and I hope to be the best. Only the best can be recognized by the audience! As long as Gu Lao puts forward your request, I will definitely meet it and guarantee You shoot until you are satisfied."

"Since I have your words, I will have to spend my life desperately, I'm afraid I will make you bankrupt!" Gu Lao said deliberately.

Zhang Yang hurriedly chimed in: "Well, my salary is also the same, and it has to be paid according to the standards of Hollywood first-line stars."

Li Dongyao turned his head to look at Zhang Yang, squinted his eyes and smiled, "Okay, no problem!"

Zhang Yang glanced at him out of the corner of his eyes, didn't answer, changed the subject and continued chatting with Gu Lao.

When it comes to understanding the characters, because the protagonist lived in a special era, Mr. Gu suggested that Zhang Yang read more materials from that period.

"Daqi has ready-made written materials, a lot of them. I also found some video materials from that year. You can look at them all to find out how you feel about the characters."

Zhang Yang said yes seriously, and at the same time put forward his own thoughts: "I think it is necessary to go to the countryside to live for a while."

Gu Lao and Li Dongyao looked at him at the same time, Gu Lao had doubts in his eyes: "The countryside now is different from before."

"But I have one thing in common with the protagonist, we are all going to the countryside. There has been a change of state of mind. What I need to experience is not only the different living conditions in the countryside and the city, but also to feel the special life in the countryside. In the rural environment, the closed environment and traditional thinking unintentionally exert pressure on the protagonist. And under this pressure, the protagonist's psychological process of finding his true self is what I want to perceive most, not just imagined This kind of psychological experience is related to the background of the times to a certain extent, but not all, because of the special character, it is still a challenge in modern society.” Although Zhang Yang always refused to act in the past, in fact, in his heart I have already played this role many times.He even imagined several performance methods, but finally chose a different method from the past. He wanted to put himself into it this time.

After listening to his thoughts, Mr. Gu poured him a cup of tea: "Then how do you want to experience it? Have you found a good place?"

Li Dongyao looked at Zhang Yang's firm nod, and raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously.He likes Zhang Yang like this, confident and serious, that's his true appearance!

Zhang Yang squinted at him: "What are you laughing at?"

"You came prepared!" Li Dongyao's smile widened.

"This is the basic quality of a good actor." Gu Lao looked at Zhang Yang appreciatively and said, "You are not from a major, but you have more ideas than many people from a major. Now I can give you this role with complete confidence. Already!"

It was the first time for Zhang Yang to be praised face to face by Gu Lao, so he blushed with embarrassment, picked up his teacup and drank tea to hide it.

Li Dongyao gently touched his leg with his knee, and the heat of his body was transmitted from the point of contact to the other party, and there was a kind of throbbing that can only be found in puberty.He couldn't help but get closer and tighter.

Zhang Yang put down his teacup and stared at him like he was looking crazy, Li Dongyao grinned and showed his neat white teeth.

The small actions between the two fell into the eyes of the old man one by one. The old man didn't say much, and silently filled the empty teacups of the two with hot tea.

"Where are you going to experience?" Li Dongyao asked after Zhang Yang kicked his knees away.

"My hometown." Zhang Yang looked straight ahead, his eyes didn't know where to focus, and the expression on his face was very subtle, as if caught in some kind of memory: "A beautiful and closed mountain village."
