I chase after the actor by lifting iron
Chapter 68
Xu Huangshan scheduled their meeting for afternoon tea time the next day.
Ming Chen didn't make much preparation, and went to the restaurant with a view of the TV Tower in the city center alone.It is a dignified and high-consumption place, and public figures generally don't need to hide their secrets here.
Ming Chen went in and was ushered by the waiter to the seat by the window. Xu Huangshan and Hou Wenchang hadn't arrived yet. He took a sip of tea and looked at the condescending scenery.
Twenty minutes after the appointed time, Hou Wenchang and Xu Huangshan finally arrived.
Ming Chen looked at the other side, and smiled first: "Mr. Hou, Director Xu, I'm Ming Chen."
The other side nodded.
This is the first time Mingchen has seen this legendary cousin. At first glance, he looks like a young man.But compared with Si Yan'an, the difference is too far, and there is not even the slightest similarity.
Whether it's looks or temperament.
Si Yan'an looked cool and distant when he was silent, even when he was absent-minded.If a stranger who doesn't know him sees him on the road, even if he thinks this person is good-looking and in a good mood, he still won't go up to ask for directions in all likelihood.
Maybe he hesitated and watched him walk away.
But Hou Wenchang is not, his temperament is very social.
If you insist on how he smiles, you just can't tell.Kind, a little bit, condescending, okay, not so explicit, ambiguous.
Maybe he put himself on a higher level, and then left room for you to speak. When communicating with him, you will not only admire him subconsciously, but also feel grateful.
This is not a temperament that everyone can learn, at least Ming Chen has not seen it from a few people.
It shows that this person is quite confident in his bones.
Hou Wenchang, who was quite confident, really didn't find any reason for his lateness, and didn't even mention it, as if it was a matter of course for Ming Chen to wait here.
Xu Huangshan didn't dare to say anything more.
The waiter poured tea and exchanged some pleasantries, Hou Wenchang leaned back in his chair and smiled.
"Mr. Ming, I heard that you are good at martial arts?"
"It's okay." Ming Chen said modestly, "I was very interested in it before, and then I had the opportunity to pay homage to the master in Chanxin Temple and learn a little bit."
"Fur is enough." Hou Wenchang obviously knows the martial arts effects of film and television works: "As long as you can make a show, there will be martial arts to design moves for you."
After finishing speaking, he paused, looked at Ming Chen, and said happily, "You look good."
Ming Chen smiled shyly, with a very cute look: "Mr. Hou is over the award."
Hou Wenchang's heart moved, and he really felt a little itchy.Although there was a plan originally, but seeing Ming Chen like this, the plan has a new attraction.
No wonder Si Yanan liked it.
This Ming Chen actually looks much more pleasing than the photo, he is simply a natural pet.
Thinking about it, he smiled genuinely, and said, "Youth Walk, you know, it's a great resource. For people like you who come from idols, you may not be able to get it after five years of working together."
Ming Chen nodded, looking forward.
"So, once you get it, the benefits he can bring to you will also exceed your imagination."
Ming Chen listened very carefully, Hou Wenchang also became interested in talking, and began to brag about what a movie can change.The first is the ticket to the movie circle - except for the bad movies that are just to make money from fans, there is almost no choice for serious movies to let traffic be the protagonist. He broke the rules and naturally attracted enough attention.
The topic is popularity, and popularity is development. Ming Chen has become No.1, and he will immediately rise to a higher level in the idol circle.
A level means more exposure, more opportunities, and longer development. Qiantu star charts are all shining, which is simply a new height in life...
Hou Wenchang was eloquent, making himself excited.The main reason is that Ming Chen is very cooperative. Seeing the admiration in his eyes is really satisfying.
Good to start with, he thought.
"Well, it's a good opportunity. Do you want to take on this drama?" Hou Wenchang finished talking dryly, and took a sip of tea.
Ming Chen nodded sharply: "I think so much! I didn't think clearly before, and I failed Director Xu's good intentions."
Xu Huangshan was fidgeting on the sidelines, now he smiled awkwardly, got up and said, "I'll go and see if there is any good tea."
After all, he slipped away.
Hou Wenchang brought him here as a formality.
He can only talk to Ming Chen about the next thing, Xu Huangshan knows it.
Their eyes met, Hou Wenchang was silent for a while, and then looked at Ming Chen, he was indescribably pleasing to the eye.
"Opportunities, when they arise, we must grasp them well." He said, "What do you think?"
Ming Chen nodded: "I will definitely act well!"
"Don't worry, I have some conditions here..." Hou Wenchang laughed, stretched out his hand, wanting to casually touch Ming Chen's hand on the table.
But the other party also took it back casually.
Hou Wenchang paused, unable to tell whether the other party did it on purpose, but he didn't bother about it, and stated the conditions straightforwardly.
"Follow me, the protagonist is yours." Hou Wenchang said.
Ming Chen smiled.
It turned out to be waiting here.
From the very beginning, he never felt that Hou Wenchang and Xu Huangshan would give him this chance.Director Xu might do it, but according to the news we heard on Wednesday, it's absolutely impossible for this boss who is full of ideas.
Therefore, even if he wanted to be the protagonist of this movie, he would definitely not start with Hou Wenchang.
Today's visit was purely accidental that he would ask me out to come and have a look.
It was as disgusting as I imagined.
"Forget it then." Ming Chen smiled, his expression unchanged, as if he was saying yes, yes, yes.
"..." Hou Wenchang was stunned for a moment.
"Sorry, I still have work tonight, so I have to leave first." Ming Chen got up: "Where is Director Xu?"
Director Xu is still wandering outside somewhere!
Hou Wenchang's reaction was not slow. In just a few seconds, he went through what happened today and understood it.
Dare to feel that he is like a clown here, it's all for people to watch.
And this little guy named Ming Chen, who looks so innocent, is so bold.So bold that he even ignored the possibility.
Hou Wenchang laughed back in anger, his scalp was numb from the anger.
"Are you playing with me?"
"Don't dare." Ming Chen smiled.
Hou Wenchang was not so angry that he lost his mind, he stared at Ming Chen, and said after a few seconds: "If you don't believe those promises, I can exchange some cash for you first. You make a price."
"Forget it." Ming Chen didn't bother to pretend to be with him.
He didn't have any acting skills, so he was blind to the other party: "Forget it really, although the movie is awesome, but if you earn money, you have to spend it wisely."
"What do you mean?" Hou Wenchang said angrily, "Can I still kill you?"
Ming Chen thought for a while: "Who knows? It's not surprising that a despicable villain who turns black and white on public platforms, doesn't distinguish right from wrong, spreads slander and is still complacent about doing anything."
Hou Wenchang was really angry at this moment, his eyes darkened, and he felt blood rushing to his head.
Never, never has anyone dared to talk to him like that!
Even Si Yan'an would at most ignore him when he saw him, and would not use such words to him in front of him!
How dare he?
Where did he get the confidence!
At that moment, Hou Wenchang really wanted to pour a teacup over him, but unfortunately he had never done such a thing since he was a child, and after hesitating for a while, he lost his chance.
Ming Chen left as soon as he said that, and after he said that sentence, he disappeared. When he came back to his senses, he only saw the back of Ming Chen disappearing at the corner of the door.
Hou Wenchang's face was gloomy, he forced himself to calm down, and finally let out a breath slowly.
He didn't take Ming Chen seriously before.
In the eyes of capital, such a small star is just an ordinary product that eats youth food. As long as he thinks about it, career development opportunities, money, rights, whatever he wants, will come.
Newcomers are often stubborn, but after a period of time in society, they understand everything.For example, Zheng Jiaqi, who was on the verge of death before, didn't he compromise when he hit a wall?
But this Mingchen, what to play with him is different.But in this business, personality is not a good word.
He made a phone call to Xu Huangshan, and Director Xu was still strolling upstairs at the moment.Hearing his words, his shiny head trembled immediately.
"Old Xu, I've given you some face." Hou Wenchang had a half-smile and said, "He's going to have to drink a toast instead of eating it... You get ready to choose someone for me within a week."
Xu Huangshan had a bitter face, wanted to say something, but couldn't.
"As long as it's not him, anyone will do." Hou Wenchang said indifferently.
***
The next day, under the operation of various media, the casting of the crew of "Youth Walk" was quietly spread in the form of revelations.
Ming Chen naturally saw it too.
Xu Huangshan is a famous director of action movies. Although there are not many movies of this type in recent years, and the box office is not good, the audience is not as small as imagined.
Compared with literary films and drama films, action films that can provide a better viewing experience in cinemas are actually good choices for all major capitalists.
The box office is not bad, but there is no need to spend [-] to [-] million yuan on special effects, and the audience is sticky and the competition is small. What does this mean?
means low risk.
Don't look at Xu Huangshan's middle-aged bald head and miserable appearance, in fact, many people envy him.It has been in business for ten years, and the pressure is not great. Posting the news of a new film will also cause a wave of small discussions on Weibo.
It can be said that the mix was very good.
Ming Chen took a quick look, but there was no more valid information, so he cut it out and sent Si Yanan a WeChat message as usual.
He will send it every day, no fixed time, just say a few words when he is free.I don't expect a response, just talk about what I ate, what I did, and what's new.
Si Yanan didn't reply, or didn't log in, he didn't know.
Compared with the procrastinating "Youth Walk", the crew of "Stardust Singer" is much more efficient.
The filmmakers had been doing preliminary work, but with the sum of money from Fu Yongchuan, the progress of the filming was even faster.
It has only been ten days since I got the script from Mingchen, and three seminars have already been held. Today, I even went directly to a photography base in the suburbs to start shooting makeup photos and posters.
"Teacher Mingchen!" Someone shouted, "Come here and fix your makeup!"
Ming Chen hurriedly typed the last few words, quit WeChat, and gave Lin Tiaotiao the phone.
"Stardust" is a single-protagonist drama, and the protagonist alone accounts for 70.00% of the drama.The other actors are either the younger Xiaohua, or the "senior" who can't make it through at all. Just looking at the celebrity status, it turns out that Ming Chen is the biggest.
But it is also a recognized fact that he is a "flow vase". In the first few days of the script discussion meeting, the actors present, from old to young, no matter how they behaved on the surface, they were somewhat sour on the inside.
But Ming Chen calls everyone a teacher, often asks seniors about scripts, and brings drinks for everyone.
No one would be greedy for the money for a few drinks, but Ming Chen really couldn't be hated. When everyone was in a good mood, the small frictions became less, and the director felt that the crew was unexpectedly harmonious.
Mingchen was called to the point where the photo shoot was about to take place, and the makeup artist waved a brush and waved at him.After waiting for a long time, some details need to be repaired, Ming Chen sat on the chair and raised his face, closing his eyes.
The photography bases are not all sheds, they chose outdoors, where there is a smell of decoration materials and dust in the air, and the scenic spots are taken in the shade, because there is no sunlight, it is a bit cold.
"Mingchen is looking for a feeling, walk from point A to point B in a while, don't be nervous, walk a few more times." The director came over and told: "The rest of the time is yours, try to relax That's it, as I said before."
Ming Chen nodded lightly.
No wonder the director was worried, but no one was worried.
Ming Chen's acting experience is so pitiful that the director even hired an acting teacher for him. In the past few script meetings, he was scolded again and again.
Although some seniors said that it was actually okay because the teacher had higher requirements, but objectively speaking, he was really not that reassuring.
The filming officially started, and the director didn't say anything after going through it for the first time, so he asked him to do it again.
Ming Chen went back obediently.
After a while, the acting teacher walked behind the monitor and stared at it.
"How?" asked the director.
"It's not good." The performance teacher was a middle-aged woman with deep nasolabial folds and a disgusted tone: "That's it, even the freshmen in our school can't compare with it. After talking for several days, they don't have any understanding. You see A bit like Wen Lai? Wen Cai is more or less the same."
The old director was there, and touched his thigh: "Hey, Cai and Lai are very similar!"
"..." the acting teacher scolded, "That's what it means!"
Ming Chen didn't make much preparation, and went to the restaurant with a view of the TV Tower in the city center alone.It is a dignified and high-consumption place, and public figures generally don't need to hide their secrets here.
Ming Chen went in and was ushered by the waiter to the seat by the window. Xu Huangshan and Hou Wenchang hadn't arrived yet. He took a sip of tea and looked at the condescending scenery.
