Rebirth Turn

After receiving the script handed over by his agent, Lu Yan read it seriously.

This time it is a historical drama, whether it is the main creator or the leading actor, it can be called a huge lineup, even the costumes and props are quite exquisite, it is said that professionals were specially invited as consultants, which shows that the investors also put a lot of money.What's more, historical dramas are popular nowadays, and there are many people filming and watching. You can imagine that it will definitely be another hit drama after filming.Afterwards, the main creator, the lead actor and the investor get both fame and fortune, and everyone is happy.

It's just that all of this has little to do with Lu Yan.

The role he received was male N, an ignorant playboy, because he coveted the heroine's beauty, he was destined to be a cannon fodder on the male protagonist's growth path, and his end was naturally miserable and gratifying.Such a role doesn't even have much room to play. Even if Lu Yan has a good appearance and acting skills, it can't save him from being doomed to be cast aside by the audience.After all, although the tastes of today's audience have changed, and there are still a large number of audiences who have a soft spot for villains, but it must also be a handsome, cool and arrogant boss with equal emphasis on beauty and intelligence, personality and strength, not this kind of boss. There is no sense of existence and even some wretched little people.

Lu Yan can almost predict that after the episode airs, his role will either be submerged in a sea of ​​characters, or he will be pulled out by the fans of the hero and heroine to whip the corpses to prove the true love and ups and downs of the hero and heroine.At most, there are only a few of my fans who are crazy about my face for a while and then complain about why I took such a bad role, and add a sentence of tiredness and dislike.

Lu Yan sighed silently in his heart. In recent years, he has received almost all such roles. They are not brilliant, and they have no special features. Most of the time, they still have an annoying and disgusting aura.Except for a few true fans, few people will pay attention and care.But if he doesn't answer, not only will he not have a job, but he will also receive constant cynicism from his manager.

Lu Yan's manager is called Fang Meng. Apart from Lu Yan, there are three or four artists under him. Like Lu Yan, they are all in the third and fourth ranks and have no reputation.Fang Meng always complains that he is underappreciated for his talent, and the company doesn't value his talent at all, and throws him all unpopular and worthless artists.Although Fang Meng wasn't too harsh on them, he didn't care too much about his work. He spent more time currying favor with the company's senior management and those popular artists.

It is conceivable that Lu Yan's situation today has something to do with such an irresponsible manager.However, with his status and value today, it is almost impossible to change an agent.

When he was really at a low ebb, Lu Yan also thought a little bit self-destructively that he might as well leave the entertainment industry. He is not too young now, but he is not too old. It is not a problem to leave this industry to find a job to support himself.

However, it is not reconciled after all.

Lu Yan likes acting.So he didn't take the college entrance examination and went directly to the Academy of Performing Arts.He's talented and works hard enough.During school, he could be regarded as a man of the hour, favored by teachers, envied by classmates, admired by fans, Lu Yan is low-key and humble, but he is not without pride in his heart.

However, when he really stepped into this bizarre world, the situation was completely different from when he was in school.

Ever since an important audition died due to an accident, it seemed that his luck had gone with him all his life, and the ill-fated fate was simply the best portrayal of his journey along the way.

Lu Yan's appearance is very good, the kind that people often say is handsome, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, thin lips and a straight nose.She has a good figure, wide shoulders and narrow waist, and two long legs. She is a natural clothes hanger. During school, she also appeared as a graphic model several times. After her debut, she has also become a capital for those few fans to show off.

Lu Yan's acting skills are also good.Although because of his background in a major, there were inevitably some academic imprints at the beginning, and after a few years of honing, coupled with his own efforts, he often carefully studied and figured out not only his own, but also other people's roles, and his acting skills were natural. more sophisticated.

The irony is that even though he works so hard, he has not received even a single role that allows him to give full play to his strengths.People say that gold always shines, but when it comes to him, there are only fakes.

All he needs is a chance.At the beginning, Lu Yan believed so firmly.

After so many years, it's not that he hasn't encountered opportunities, but every time, for one reason or another, he always passes by, which is embarrassing.

If Lu Yan still had arrogance and injustice at the beginning, now his blood and edges have been smoothed by reality.Before even showing his sharpness, he was forced to hide it.

The situation was stronger than people, and he had to bow his head.

But what about after bowing your head?

Lu Yan smiled wryly to himself, and the smile that raised his head had become humble and grateful, "Then this one, thank you Brother Fang."

Fang Meng nodded, showing a smile that I knew, patted Lu Yan on the shoulder, and said with a slight sarcasm: "Xiao Lu is still sensible, unlike those few who will pick and choose, and don't even look at it." My own identity. I have no ability, and my temper is not small, so it's no wonder I can't get ahead."

Lu Yan smiled, but did not respond.

Lu Yan would never do such a thing like talking about people's merits behind their backs. You must know that walls have ears, and you don't know when you offend someone.Even if the person mentioned is a small person now, who knows when he will become a big person or climb up to a big person.

Lu Yan also heard that Fang Meng was not valued by the company because of his bad mouth, he accidentally offended someone and was put on small shoes.

Of course, he also wouldn't remind Fang Meng of such a thing.

Seeing that Lu Yan didn't talk to him, Fang Meng also felt bored, so he put away his smile and said, "Then you prepare, and you will join the crew the day after tomorrow. Although it is not an important role, don't give people the impression that you are playing big names."

Lu Yan nodded, of course he understood.

Fang Meng was about to open the door to leave, but turned around again, showing a meaningful smile, "Little Lu, your luck is pretty good. If it weren't for a good friend of a big star, even such a role would be worthless." It may not be able to fall into your hands. You have to know how many people squeeze their heads and want to be in Director Wang's play."

Lu Yan was startled, "Xu Yongzhou?"

Fang Meng smiled, "Besides him, do you have any other big star friends?"

Lu Yan was silent for a while, Fang Meng had already left.

Thinking of Xu Yongzhou, Lu Yan's eyes were slightly confused, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in his heart.

Xu Yongzhou is Lu Yan's college classmate and roommate.

When Lu Yan was in college, he was in the limelight, and there was no other moment. If he had to find someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, then there was only Xu Yongzhou, and he could even be called a bright moment.

However, after leaving the campus, the situation of the two is very different.

Xu Yongzhou is now in full swing, a hot star, and he was awarded Best Actor at last year's Golden Watch Awards, everyone said he deserved it.

Thinking of when he was in school, although the other party was outstanding, he was still overwhelmed by him in every way, just like a dream.

There was a bitterness in Lu Yan's heart.

But having said that, in this world where walls are falling and everyone is pushing, Lu Yan still feels warm when there are still people who can help him everywhere.

Over the years, whenever he was in trouble and had no job to pick up, it was almost always Xu Yongzhou who helped introduce the crew and characters. Although he was somewhat subtle and frustrated in his self-esteem, Lu Yan was not a person who didn't know what to do. Needless to say, he was moved and grateful. I am also very fortunate to have such a good friend and brother.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan heaved a sigh of relief, sorted out some complicated emotions, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, the pleasant music rang a few times before he was picked up, and the familiar hearty voice came, "Hello……"

Lu Yan couldn't help but smiled, "Yongzhou, it's me, Lu Yan."

The other party seemed to know who it was, and said with a smile: "It's you, Lu Yan, how is it? Have you seen the new script? I'm sorry that the role is not very good. I originally wanted to help you get the second male lead, but the company happened to There are newcomers to praise, you know me too..."

Lu Yan interrupted in a low voice: "Don't say that, I understand, thank you very much."

The other side smiled again, "My brother, do you still need to say thank you?"

Lu Yan also smiled, and his mood seemed to relax with the word "brother", and his tone was a little teasing, "The big star, when you have time, I will treat you to a meal."

"Haha, I'm not being polite about this. But I have something to do in the past two days, let's talk about it when I meet the crew in three days."

"En." After chatting casually for a few more words, Lu Yan hung up the phone.

The leading actor of this historical drama is Xu Yongzhou, so after three days, he joined the crew, so we can see each other again.

The next day Lu Yan went to audition for another movie.

The director is the well-known director Qi Bai in China. His films are very tasteful. Although he hasn't won any international awards yet, he has won quite a few domestic awards.The script is also very good, and the screenwriter is Yan Zhan, a well-known gold medal screenwriter in the industry.The films that the two collaborated on were basically box office guarantees.Of course, what makes Lu Yan the most cautious is that although the role he was asked to audition for this time is a supporting role, it is a very important and dramatic role with a lot of inner drama. If the actor plays well, he will be very brilliant. You are welcome. In other words, it is not impossible to hit the best supporting role. Of course, if it is not played well, it may become vulgar.Naturally, Lu Yan is still very confident in his acting skills.

Getting this chance to audition was both accidental and inevitable.

The executive assistant director of this movie, Lu Yan, has worked with him before, and accidentally did a small favor for him, so he has a good impression of Lu Yan. This time, when he saw this character, he immediately thought of him, and mentioned it to Director Qi. After a while, Director Qi asked him to come directly to the audition.

When receiving the call, Lu Yan was a little excited.He has always believed that he has no shortage of strength, what is missing is just an opportunity.If he can take over this role this time, Lu Yan is confident that he can perform well. This is the opportunity he has to seize, and there is no room for loss.

Lu Yan didn't tell Fang Meng about this. For some reason, he subconsciously felt that Fang Meng was unreliable and that he was hiding something important from him.He didn't count on Fang Meng, so when Fang Meng asked him to take a bad role again yesterday, he didn't get angry or resist.I didn't have any expectations, so I won't be disappointed.

The audition went well.

Lu Yan completed the scene specified by the director very well, and then asked him to go back and wait for the notice.

When he walked out of the studio, Lu Yan smiled slightly, feeling relaxed all over his body.He believed that the role was a sure thing. During the audition just now, although Director Qi kept quiet, Lu Yan did not ignore the admiration and approval in his eyes.

I'm in a good mood. Lu Yan doesn't want to go back so soon. Tomorrow he will join the crew of that historical drama. Although he is a small character, the timeline is a bit long. Little people don't have privileges, so they can only follow the crew all the time. It may take a long time. Can't be this leisurely for a while.

Lu Yan walked all the way, when he passed the central square, he caught a glimpse of two familiar figures sitting in the corner of a remote cafe.

One is his manager Fang Meng, and the other is wearing sunglasses and a hat as a disguise, but the back view Lu Yan will not admit to mistake, it is his good friend and good brother Xu Yongzhou.

Lu Yan frowned, how could these two people sit together?

An uncomfortable intuition made him couldn't help but go in quietly, and sat down in a blind spot where they could hear their whispered conversation.

The truth is always ugly.
