Self-salvation of a cheap substitute

"Is there something wrong with your head? Aren't you going to audition? Why are you pestering me all the time?" Wang Miao looked helplessly at Yan Jiaming behind him.

"Brother, do you want to go to the film crew with me to play? Anyway, brother, you haven't decided where to go to play. You are free when you are idle. Aren't you the most curious about the life of a star before, brother. Let's go." Yan Jiaming Smiling, he followed Wang Miao out of the waiting hall with a shameless face.

"No, you want me to say it a few more times. I just want to travel quietly by myself. I, myself, travel quietly. Do you understand? What does your life have to do with me? , other people’s lives have nothing to do with me, so don’t pester me anymore.” Wang Miao put his backpack on his back, put on his mask and ran away.

"Brother, wait for me, brother!" Seeing that Wang Miao was about to run, Yan Jiaming yelled quickly, grabbed the box and chased after him.

In the end, Wang Miao was dragged to the film crew by Yan Jiaming, and he sat in the back seat of the taxi with a cold face, ignoring Yan Jiaming's questions.

According to Yan Jiaming's imagination, the audition should be a magnificent place, but the reality is still a joke with him, although it is not magnificent, but it is not so dilapidated, Yan Jiaming looked at the tattered thatch in front of him in disbelief He rubbed his eyes and looked down at the address sent by his agent on the phone, and finally accepted the reality.

Wang Miao has no interest in this, anyway, he can't participate in the next audition, so it's better to go for a walk, everywhere there are filming crews, busy people, he looks around alone, looks extraordinarily Confused, Wang Miao wandered around for a while, and found a corner where he was half-sitting and half-lying. He lowered his head and opened the backpack, and took out a bottle of medicine and a bottle of mineral water inside. Wang Miao sighed, and he Haw pulled off the mask, suppressed his nausea and swallowed the pills.

Alas, Wang Miao sighed, Spring City lives up to its name, the four seasons are like spring, warm, Wang Miao squinted his eyes basking in the sun and drowsy.

It's just that he forgot that his mask was not pulled up.

"Kids?" An unfamiliar voice.

"..." Wang Miao opened his eyes suddenly. After focusing briefly, he stared warily at the strange, fat middle-aged man in front of him. When he looked down, he saw the sign hanging from the man's chest. The executive assistant director of a crew, surnamed Jiang.

"Kid, are you a group performer? What's your name?" Assistant Director Jiang knelt down and looked at Wang Miao.

"Wang Miao, it's not a group performance. What's your business?" Although Wang Miao was tired and upset, he could still maintain a false politeness on his face.

"Oh, do you want to act? Our crew is short of a role, and I think you are a good fit." Assistant Director Jiang laughed.

"I've never acted before." Wang Miao refused bluntly, "I will delay the filming of the crew, I'm not suitable."

Deputy Director Jiang didn't say anything else, he turned and walked away, he seemed to take out the walkie-talkie and said something on the way, and then a group surrounded him, and then a bearded man came out from the crowd, Deputy Director Jiang seemed to be communicating something, through His rich hand movements, as well as his intentional or unintentional gaze, made Wang Miao feel that Assistant Director Jiang must be talking about himself to that bearded man.

Unexpectedly, Wang Miao frowned and stood up. He patted the dirt on his body and put on his backpack again. There was no news of Yan Jiaming on his phone, which meant that his audition was not over yet, which meant that he had to continue waiting. He didn't know how long it would take, Wang Miao Miao shook his head helplessly, let's continue strolling in another place.

"Kid, don't go!" Someone ran over panting.

"..." Wang Miao pretended not to hear.

"Little friend, handsome guy, little brother, wait a minute." The man chased after him. He stopped Wang Miao's way, and said with a smile, "I'll waste your time for a few minutes, can't it work? Our guide wants to see you, so come with me. Do you know our director, have you seen "Three Heroes Sword", it is our director's work."

"?" Wang Miao, who wanted to leave, stopped immediately when he heard the name "Three Heroes Sword". I was also sent to the altar because of this movie. He turned around on the spot and stared carefully at the faces of the staff in front of him, and then glanced in the direction of Deputy Director Jiang, "You mean Director Zhang, Mr. Zhang , This is Mr. Zhang's crew."

"Of course, it's time for you to catch up. Not only Director Zhang and Director Jiang are here, but also the screenwriter of our play. Director Jiang said that you are the most suitable for that role. Director Zhang wants you to go and have a look, and the screenwriter also said that he wants to see it." , you have to know how many people can't get in Mr. Zhang's movie, come quickly, come quickly." The staff waved enthusiastically to Wang Miao.

"Oh, good." Wang Miao responded subconsciously, his throat was dry and dry, he suddenly became nervous again, and he didn't realize that he took the first few steps with the same hands and feet.

"This child has no aura." Director Zhang glanced at Wang Miao foolishly from a distance, and shook his head.

"Director, don't worry." Assistant Director Jiang looked confident.

"Hello..." Wang Miao mechanically and stiffly followed the staff to the front of Zhang Dao. The half sentence "Mr. Zhang" was left behind by him because he was too nervous.

"You look up, don't be nervous." Mr. Zhang patted Wang Miao's arm.

Wang Miao raised his head obediently.

With one look, just one look, when the screenwriter saw Wang Miao's eyes, he was sure that Wang Miao was the most suitable person for him as the male number two in his novel.

For the needs of the plot, the second male lead in the screenwriter’s book was a homeless child, and when he grows up, he has a fateful fate. Although he has a deep heart, he looks like a miserable green boy. When it comes to the tension of the characters, this character may be more conspicuous than the first male lead. , and even overshadow the protagonist, but it is precisely because of the thickness of the second male lead that there are very few actors who can take up this role, and the actors who reluctantly enter the group are often dismissed after a few days of not joining the group. The director persuaded him to quit, firstly because the role was difficult, and secondly because of Director Zhang's character of striving for perfection.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Wang Miao's appearance, Director Zhang might have cut off half of the male lead's personal charm and grafted it on the male lead's body. Although the result might not be too bad, it was not Director Zhang's original intention.

"This is the Wang Miao I told you about." Assistant Director Jiang smiled.

"Have you acted before, have you taken any acting class?" Director Zhang was also a little tempted by Wang Miao, and asked with a pleasant face.

"A few classes." Wang Miao replied realistically. He did take acting classes, and it was true that he only took a few classes. Those were the classes arranged by the company for all trainees when he was still a trainee. .

"Have a foundation, give it a try." Director Zhang patted Wang Miao on the shoulder, he turned around and asked for a script to open, and said with a gentle smile, "You want to play the second male lead, who was born in a rough childhood, and suffered a lot of fate when he was young. The emotional level is very rich, it is difficult to grasp, do you think you can do it?"

Wang Miao heard that the "Number Two Male" appeared one head and two big. He originally wanted to play a secondary role, but he didn't expect it to be such an important role.

Wang Miao couldn't help retreating in his heart.

But this script...

He really wants to keep acting.

"I don't know, I want to run away now." Wang Miao replied honestly.

"Haha, this scene is about you being betrayed and hurt by the person you love the most. This is the line. You don't need to be exactly the same. The general meaning is almost the same. Let's see how it goes, okay? "Director Zhang asked.

"Okay." Director Zhang waved his hand to greet Fu Huadao, then compared them, and ordered, "Just pretend."

Although it's a simple dress up, as soon as he puts on the show, Assistant Director Jiang's eyes lit up, and that look of embarrassment matched with Wang Miao's pale face, 100% restored what he imagined the second male lead should have. look.

Wang Miao completely ignored the gazes of the people present, but seized the time to read the script, and Director Zhang nodded slightly with his concentration.

The script is very thick, and the second male lead has a lot of lines to say in this scene. Wang Miao glanced at it and found that there are not many breaths in this line, which is indeed quite embarrassing.

This time it was in the bamboo forest, on a rainy day, the friend of the male number two betrayed the male number two who was recuperating in the bamboo forest. Facing the people who came to hunt him down, facing the sword, he desperately asked his friend why he did this play.

According to the requirements, this section was tricked by a friend to open the door, and then dragged outside and rolled down the bamboo ladder. At that time, he should have looked seriously ill. After thinking about it, Wang Miao relaxed the control of his legs, and his steps were very vain. , although there was no physical performance, but Wang Miao still performed the movements very professionally, and then rolled on the ground several times. He fell on the ground in embarrassment, his body trembling slightly. The physiological reaction that should be experienced after a sudden rain.

"Really, it's you..." Wang Miao struggled to get up on the ground, his voice was shaking, his eye sockets were very astringent, Wang Miao knew that in the eyes of others, his own eyes must be red at this moment.

"Why?" Wang Miao gave Director Zhang a deep look.

That look was like a knife, and pierced Director Zhang's heart fiercely. Although he only said the three words "why", he heard the stormy and disappointed question hidden behind these three words. , and in Wang Miao's eyes, he saw stubbornness and unyielding, and when he saw it, he was relieved.

The kind of relief is that I know that my friend will betray me, but I have been enduring it for the sake of friendship, until he took the initiative to puncture this layer of window paper, so my friend turned against me and became like a stranger, and I was finally able to let go of this cautious relationship. The heavy psychological baggage of the fragile friendship that is maintained, and some other feelings.

Although Wang Miao was still in his eyes, Director Zhang's attention was no longer on the test scene in front of him. The scene that Wang Miao would play in the future flashed through Director Zhang's mind.

"Okay." Director Zhang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and applauded first.
