reshape life

Lu Heng felt that his conversation with Wei Linxuan had fallen into an endless loop, because no matter how he explained it, there was a fatal logical point in the whole incident that he couldn't explain clearly, that is why he was so nice to Zhao Miao.

It can't be said that this person saved me in the previous life, so I want to repay the favor in this life, right?

Since he couldn't explain it clearly, Lu Heng didn't explain it at all. He looked at the time - it was already 11:30 in the evening and it was almost twelve o'clock. Wei Linxuan sat on the sofa angrily, leaning forward with his elbows resting on the On his legs, his fingers were intertwined, and his originally stylish hairstyle had been grabbed into a henhouse shape by him, and he exuded a disturbed aura from all over his body.

Lu Heng sighed slightly, and asked, "Have you eaten tonight, are you hungry?"

Of course, Wei Linxuan didn't eat. He was in the company discussing with his father the specific details of the acquisition of Star Entertainment and how to deal with the artists who belonged to Star Entertainment.As a result, director Fang Kaizhi called and immediately disrupted Wei Linxuan's plan.

"I'm not hungry!" Wei Linxuan said forcefully.

Before the words fell, a loud belly sound suddenly sounded in the living room.

Wei Linxuan's face turned dark all of a sudden.

Lu Heng held back his smile and asked quickly, "May I serve you a bowl of noodles?"

"No! Eat!" Wei Linxuan furiously glared at Lu Heng, and became even more angry.

Lu Heng lowered his head, turned on the food mode, and described it with a smile: "How about a bowl of fresh shrimp wonton noodles for you? It's what the two of us ate in Xiangcheng last time, and I specially learned it later. There are wontons made by my mother, and I will put a few rapeseed leaves for you, white, green, green and red. The noodles are also hand-rolled by my father. It must be stronger than the ones we ate in Xiangcheng. The noodle soup is thick and thick Thick, very fresh, you eat, I will peel the shrimp for you..."

Wei Linxuan swallowed his saliva, and his expression immediately relaxed.

Lu Heng got up and went to Wei Linxuan, and when the noodles were ready and served, Wei Linxuan took a mouthful of noodles with chopsticks and said gloomily, "Dad and grandpa both know about this. "Flower "With the Sword" is Director Fang's first film after winning the two major international film festivals. Looking at the entertainment circle, you don't need to tell me how important this movie is. The eligibility for next year's Oscars has already been determined by default. All the superstars of the agency's film and television companies are trying their best to contact Director Fang, hoping to get a role. Director Fang prefers you to play the leading actor. Everyone has no objection, but if you don't If you cherish it, behind you, there are many people watching."

Wei Linxuan said this, looked up at Lu Heng, and said solemnly: "I hope you understand that this movie is not your own business. Director Fang appointed you to play the male lead, except because your acting skills are in line with his I also took a fancy to your international influence. You cannot deny that it was the two films "Best Partner" and "A Action" that made Western audiences recognize your box office appeal and acting skills. "Flower and "Sword" wants to hit the Oscars, hit the international box office, and let everyone recognize oriental movies, stability is the most important thing. With Director Fang and the background of this movie, there is no need, and it is absolutely impossible to use novelty-hunting methods to Grandstanding."

Lu Heng lowered his head to peel the prawns for Wei Linxuan, and then threw the white, pink and flesh-colored prawns into Wei Linxuan's bowl.

Wei Linxuan sighed, and said with a bit of a headache: "Lu Heng, I hope you can understand what you are doing. Director Fang has already made it clear that this movie is aimed at winning international awards. You should be able to imagine How many people have high hopes for this movie. This is not just a matter of the entertainment industry. In other words, if the crew is in turmoil due to your relationship, or even fails to win an award, even if Director Fang keeps silent What, those entertainment media and film review magazines can eat you alive."

"Director Fang called me, and he said that if you think about it, he can pretend that what happened tonight never happened."

Wei Linxuan pondered for a while, and then said: "As for Zhao Miao's matter, I have also discussed it with my father. I will make a proper arrangement for his future."

When Wei Linxuan said this, he also felt a little regretful.If he had known that Lu Heng had such a deep obsession with Zhao Miao, he would rather spend more time finalizing Zhao Miao's contract with China Emperor Entertainment earlier.Rather than connivance Ying Dun wins Sun Shuliang secretly and secretly, making things like this.

"Lu Heng, can I beg you? Don't make fun of your own future."

Lu Heng lowered his head and remained silent.

Wei Linxuan suppressed his anger and took a deep breath, and lost his appetite for food: "Director Fang also told me that if you insist on doing this, he will directly use the method of internal public audition to finalize the role. If you really If you are so confident in yourself, then compete with Wang Zhen, Gu Runqing, and Liu Jiawei during the audition."

In fact, Fang Kaizhi's preferred male number two, Wen Renjing, was originally played by Gu Runqing. He felt that Gu Runqing had a dignified but sinister aura, which fit the character's image very well.However, the producers and investors feel that Wang Zhen has portrayed many classic villains on the big screen. If Wang Zhenlai is allowed to play a well-known and respected character, it will definitely meet the expectations of the audience and even the industry.

Although Fang Kaizhi felt that Wang Zhen's image was too feminine and neurotic, considering the producers and investors' right to speak within the crew, Fang Kaizhi still invited Wang Zhen to audition.

As for Liu Jiawei, he called Director Fang in person, as a self-recommendation, trying to break through his previous screen image.

There is no doubt about Liu Jiawei's image and acting skills. Before that, Liu Jiawei also played heroes and other roles on the big screen.At least he can hold the first half of the film. Even if Fang Kaizhi is aiming at Liu Jiawei's face, he will not even give him a chance to audition.

In everyone's opinion, no matter who plays Wen Renjing among these three people, it is enough to kill Lu Heng instantly.

According to the crew's preparation plan, this kind of thing was originally to be kept secret, but Fang Kaizhi really cherished Lu Heng's talent, so he made it clear on the phone.I just hope that Lu Heng can retreat despite difficulties.

Lu Heng understood Fang Dao's painstaking efforts very well. He lowered his eyebrows and looked at the white and tender shrimp that had been peeled in his hand, then threw the shrimp into Wei Linxuan's bowl without making a sound.

This time, Wei Linxuan felt a pain in his head. He scratched his head and said in a bad manner, "What do you need me to do for you?"

However, this time, Wei Linxuan really couldn't help him in the face of doubts and dislikes pointed out by thousands of people.

This time, Lu Heng can only rely on himself.

Wei Linxuan sighed, and looked helplessly at Lu Heng, who had been sitting silently across the dining table, "Prepare for the audition. Dad and grandpa are there, and I will comfort you."

******

Director Fang's audition is scheduled for 20 days later.The specific location is set in a certain studio of Yan Film Studio.

When Lu Heng and his party arrived at the hotel, it was already crowded with people.Looking around, almost the second- and third-tier entertainers who can be counted in the entertainment industry, as long as they don't have a movie contract announcement, all guard in the corridor outside the banquet hall.

Lu Heng glanced over and found many familiar faces, including Gu Yu, the actor who played the leading role in "Flower and Sword" in his previous life.

The other party seemed to have noticed Lu Heng's gaze, he stood still, and nodded in Lu Heng's direction.

Lu Heng returned a very friendly smile.

Zhao Miao took a deep breath nervously. Just as Lu Heng said to relax, the assistant director who was standing in the corridor maintaining order came over immediately and said, "Director Fang told you to go there."

This assistant director is Fang Kaizhi's old team, and everyone has worked together in the filming of "Autumn Dew".Of course, he also knew that Fang Kaizhi had high hopes for Lu Heng.Therefore, Lu Heng's willfulness is even more incomprehensible.

Taking advantage of the time leading the way, the assistant director tried to persuade him: "Xiao Heng, you can be regarded as the one we all grew up watching. Don't dislike me saying something, young people should listen to it. Listen People persuade to have a full meal."

Lu Heng smiled slightly.The assistant director patted Lu Heng on the shoulder and knocked on the door of the conference hall.

Lu Heng pushed the door open, and the meeting hall covered with high-grade woolen carpets was empty, except for a row of tables and chairs at the end of the hall, behind which sat Fang Kaizhi and other main creative personnel of the crew, Wang Zhonghao, chairman of Inton Group , representatives of other producers and investors, as well as the heroine Shao Qiongfang, and a...

It was Gu Runqing, the film's original second male actor.

A camera was erected next to the empty field, and the lens was aimed at the middle of the hall.

Lu Heng stepped forward, before he could introduce himself, Fang Kaizhi spoke first, "Lu Heng, I'll give you another chance. If you want, we can sign the male lead contract right now."

Fang Kaizhi made a loud noise, and Wang Zhonghao, who was sitting next to him, looked over calmly, and also helped to persuade him: "Lu Heng, you should understand Fang Dao's good intentions. It's better not to disappoint Fang Dao's love. Bar."

Lu Heng looked at Fang Kaizhi with clear eyes. In the past 20 days, he answered no less than [-] calls, all of which were friends in the circle who had worked with him before to persuade him not to be willful.Even Zhao Miao said that she didn't want to audition anymore, and just asked Lu Heng not to be impulsive after signing.

No one is optimistic about Lu Heng playing the role of 16-year-old Wen Renjing at the age of 45. Everyone is worried that if Lu Heng continues to fight, it will affect his own future.

It's not that Lu Heng is ignorant of everyone's good intentions, but he also has his own persistence.

"Director Fang, I still want to try the role of Wen Renjing."

Fang Kaizhi kept a straight face, and glared at Lu Heng with hatred.

Shao Qiongfang, who was invited to play the heroine, smiled, and her eyes fell on Lu Heng: "This child is 16 years old this year. This is the time for rebellion, right?"

No wonder Shao Qiongfang was impetuous.She has worked hard in Hollywood these years, but it is actually not easy.This time he was invited to return to China to participate in Director Fang's new film, not only because of Director Fang's ability to win an Oscar just now, but also because of the script's conception and depth, and naturally because of the popularity of the leading actor, Lu Heng, in Hollywood.She believes that with these two guarantees, no matter whether the movie can win an award or not, at least the box office and word of mouth should be fine.

But now, the actor who was originally not a problem has become a big trouble for the crew.Shao Qiongfang didn't know whether these twists and turns would affect the final composition of the crew, or whether the movie would be as exciting as expected.

All she knew was that the little brat in front of her was definitely a reckless person.

Originally, when they first met, Shao Qiongfang had a very high opinion of Lu Heng, and felt that he was a junior with great potential and worthy of friendship and support.But now, Shao Qiongfang just wanted to punch Lu Heng a few times.

Fang Kaizhi glanced at Lu Heng again, and didn't mean to ask him to go to the makeup audition, but instead whispered a few words to Gu Runqing who was beside him.Gu Runqing smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, then, let me attract others."

Gu Runqing got up to put on makeup, Fang Kaizhi said to Lu Heng: "Since you are so confident, then you should first see what other people's interpretation of being respectful is like."

The implication is that if you feel ashamed after seeing Gu Runqing's audition, you don't need to waste everyone's time.

Lu Heng didn't make a sound.

Twenty minutes later, Gu Runqing, who had put on her makeup and changed her costume, returned to the audition room again.

Wen Renjing's costume is a set of gray Taoist robes covered with a layer of black gauze, a white jade crown on his head, and a three-foot sword in his hand.His gestures are full of righteousness, and his speech and demeanor are even more refined and gentle, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Because of this, when Wen Renjing gradually revealed his true colors in the second half of the movie, not only the hero couldn't believe it, but even the entire martial arts world couldn't believe it. Such insane things as seizing adventures.

With Gu Runqing's aura, it was already in line with Fang Kaizhi's image of a hero, but now that he changed into a Taoist robe and costume, the aura around him was even more natural.

Because Fang Kaizhi always wanted Lu Heng to retreat, he had discussed with Gu Runqing long before the audition. The audition now happened to be the climax scene in the movie, that is, after Wen Renjing revealed his true colors. , denounced the scene where the heroes reversed black and white.

Gu Runqing stood still in the field, his originally neat hair was deliberately messed up by the stylist, his eyes looked faintly red with red eye drops.

Fang Kaizhi glanced at Lu Heng who was standing beside him, and signaled for Gu Runqing to start.

The complexion of Gu Runqing in the arena changed, and the originally elegant and gentle elder's expression immediately added a touch of madness. His eyes swept across the heroes of the world that did not exist, and his arms were wide open, with a very rampant expression. With a domineering posture, he said: "The rare treasures in this world are originally owned by the virtuous. I am respected by everyone, and I am the virtuous person in the world. Your father was wrong. He should not have won the rare treasure before me, and even more so. He shouldn't have told me after he won the rare treasure. Since he told me, the heavens have eyes and deliberately let me know. If you want to blame it, blame your father for not understanding the truth that a man is innocent and conceives a crime."

Gu Runqing's expression suddenly became ferocious and ugly, no longer the usual serenity and elegance, and his eyes became cloudy and fierce, wanting to choose someone to devour.

"The weak survive the fittest. Your father died under my sword, and he also died under the law of the jungle. The strong dominate others, and the weak are controlled by others. This is nature. Just as I am stronger than you, so I want you You live if you are born, and you die if you want to die. I have taught you this truth for more than 20 years, but unfortunately you still don’t understand.”

Gu Runqing finished his words here, took a deep breath, and stretched his whole body in a wonderful posture, creating an aura of looking down on the ants from above, looking down at the male protagonist who was seriously injured and lying at his feet, three feet Qing Feng pointed directly at the male lead, with a smile that made one feel horrified upon seeing him: "The truths in this world are for the living, but the dead don't need to reason. I will teach you today as a teacher." One last thing for you."

When Gu Runqing said this, his eyes turned cold, and his voice suddenly became dark and cold: "What do you mean by killing everything!"

Gu Runqing's performance can be described as hearty and proficient.Not only did Fang Kaizhi and Shao Qiongfang smile appreciatively in their eyes, even the producers and investors who had always been more inclined to Wang Zhen couldn't help nodding their heads and had to admire Director Fang's vision.

There was a burst of applause in the audition room.

Gu Runqing smiled slightly, restrained his expression in the play, and turned into that gentle middle-aged man again.

Fang Kaizhi turned to look at Lu Heng, and asked calmly, "Do you still want to audition?"

Having said that, everyone here knows that Fang Kaizhi's subtext is "Do you still think your performance will be better than Gu Runqing's?"

The atmosphere in the audition room was suddenly quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on Lu Heng.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Heng said unhurriedly: "I may take a little longer to put on makeup. I hope everyone will forgive me."

This is not to die without seeing the Yellow River!

Everyone present looked at each other in tacit agreement.Gu Runqing also looked at Lu Heng quite curiously.Faced with this wayward brat who was supposed to be the male lead, but who made a mistake and insisted on auditioning for the second male lead, Gu Runqing didn't take Lu Heng seriously.He didn't even think that Lu Heng was his competitor.

However, in the face of his performance in the audition just now, this brat still asked for an audition so calmly.Either this kid is confident, or this kid has no self-knowledge at all.

For a while, Gu Runqing was a little curious, and wanted to know exactly what kind of situation Lu Heng was in.

So Gu Runqing stood up, and wanted to go there with Lu Heng on the grounds that he wanted to go back to the audition room to change his costume.

Lu Heng smiled very calmly: "No need. I brought my own costume and makeup artist."

Yo, are you really prepared?

Gu Runqing, who was about to get up, sat back and his expression became more interesting.

Fang Kaizhi waved his hand, not even interested in talking.

Lu Heng has always been a down-to-earth person. He said that it took a long time to make up and change costumes, so it really took a long time.

It wasn't until everyone was a little drowsy that the door of the audition room was opened again.

Everyone looked up impatiently, and the next second, everyone subconsciously held their breath——

But I saw a Taoist priest with a white face and beard, wearing a gray-white Taoist robe, wearing a white jade lotus crown, walking lightly.

The Taoist robe was very similar to the costume worn by Gu Runqing, but the material was thinner and more elegant.The wide belt of the Taoist robe is in the wind, and the layers of thick gauze robes wrap the young man's slender figure. When walking, the sleeves and hem of the robe are rippling and elegant, not only did not reveal the frailty of the young man, but it made him Against the backdrop of his figure, he became more and more loose and tall, with a fairy-like demeanor.

Lu Heng silently walked to the field and stood still, his eyes slowly scanning the crowd.Those eyes were dark and deep, like two grains of black jade that have gone through an unknown number of years. Although they have read all the prosperity, there is no wave in the ancient well.

Because the emotions conveyed by these eyes are too deep, even if his makeup cannot be perfected because of the audition, the collagen that belongs to a young man can still be clearly seen on his face, even though Lu Heng's appearance at this moment looks She looked much younger than Gu Runqing's appearance, but the strange thing was that no one felt that Lu Heng's respectability was inferior to Gu Runqing's maturity and restraint.

On the contrary, don't have a proud Zhongzheng soft, fairy style.

Lu Heng silently looked at the people in the audition room, without saying a word.He pulled out the long sword in his hand, and performed a sword dance under the eyes of everyone.

Lu Heng was a martial arts movie star in his previous life. When it comes to martial arts experience, the only person present who can match him is probably Shao Qiongfang, who also has a martial arts background.

More than ten years later, although the crew mostly relied on post-production special effects synthesis when shooting martial arts scenes, it still required martial arts directors to design pleasing and beautiful movements in advance.

The set of swordsmanship that Lu Heng is dancing now is the swordsmanship that he summed up the movements of many movies he shot in his previous life, and then spent a month carefully designing the swordsmanship.

This set of swordsmanship was born out of Wudang Tai Chi Sword. In the script setting of "Flower and Sword", Wen Renjing was originally from the Wudang School, and Wudang Taiji Sword has always been relaxed and soft, continuous, flexible and changeable. The mountains are famous for their harmony between movement and stillness.

Lu Heng adapted this set of sword techniques to make it more pleasing to the eye and more suitable for displaying in front of the camera.

It can be said that in order to better understand the role of Wen Renjing, Lu Heng did not hesitate to "invent" a set of swordsmanship that absolutely fits the character's image.

Director Fang Kaizhi and Shao Qiongfang's experienced eyesight immediately sensed the "deep meaning" of this set of sword techniques.Even subconsciously imagining the sub-shots and scenery of the movie in his mind.

Although the representatives of other producers and investors couldn't understand these tricks, they also felt that Lu Heng's movements were really beautiful, especially with this set of elegantly layered Taoist robes, it was really smooth and extraordinary.

Even though the scene was still the empty conference room, in the eyes of everyone, the background of Lu Heng's sword dance had been transformed into a rather artistic scene of green mountains and clear waters.

After all, "Flower and Sword" is still a martial arts movie, and Lu Heng's show alone is definitely a much better bonus than Gu Runqing.

Even though Gu Runqing's acting skills are profound, he is not from martial arts and cannot perform those difficult fight scenes. Even for the sake of the camera effect, Fang Kaizhi has to use a double.

But if Lu Heng were to play Wen Renjing, there would be no need for a substitute at all.

He will be more beautiful than the stand-in, and he will meet Fang Kaizhi's requirements.

Lu Heng's amazing swordsmanship only lasted 3 minutes.

The sword was accepted, Lu Heng took a few breaths, and said with a smile: "Is the part of my audition also the part that Teacher Gu acted just now?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally all looked at Fang Kaizhi.

Fang Kaizhi looked ponderous, took a deep look at Lu Heng, nodded and said, "That's right, you can start now."

Lu Heng looked at Gu Runqing silently.

In his previous life, Gu Runqing portrayed Wen Renjing as the most classic villain on China's big screen.

Lu Heng once drew the film repeatedly frame by frame, copying this character one by one.

It can be said that in this world, no one understands the celebrity Gu Runqing shaped better than Lu Heng.Even Gu Runqing couldn't do it himself.

It is undeniable that Gu Runqing's audition just now really conquered the cast members including Fang Kaizhi, but Lu Heng was not among them.

Probably because the script has not been received for a short time, Gu Runqing has not figured out the role in place, or there is no flash of inspiration during the actual filming. In Lu Heng's view, the Wen Renjing that Gu Runqing just created is not like the one in the movie in his previous life. Being famous is contagious.

The rendering power of the lines is not enough, the expressions and movements are not in place, not to mention the aura, Lu Heng is confident that even if he adopts the same acting method as Gu Runqing now, he will definitely be stronger than Gu Runqing at this time.

But he finally got this opportunity, the opportunity to create a classic, is it really necessary to shamelessly steal the wisdom of others for such a role, and take the crystallization of other people's sweat to snatch other people's chance to go to the altar?

of course not.

Lu Heng opened his eyes and glanced at everyone in the audition room.

He wants to interpret the respect of people in his own way.

The moment Lu Heng opened his eyes, everyone in the audition room was shocked, and they all noticed Lu Heng bursting out with an inexplicable aura.

Under the gazes of everyone waiting to be judged, Lu Heng started his own audition.
