The King of Bad Movies[Entertainment Circle]

"The roles Mr. Ma has played are recognized as down-to-earth, and he doesn't take such domineering and leaky roles very much."

In the early years, Ma Ci won the Maple Leaf Award for best actor because he played a simple waste picker, which may have something to do with his experience in the countryside.

And Liu Kejin acted more in costume dramas and imperial dramas, because he has kung fu, and when he was studying drama, the theater also had image requirements, so the roles that Liu Kejin took on later were all domineering.

It's not that the two old actors can't play the roles that the other is good at, it's just that the audience has a certain image of them in their minds, and the crew will naturally only find them to play fixed roles.

Gu Yu rested her chin on her hand: "Teacher Ma probably also wants to change the audience's opinion."

He felt that his hopes were quite small, and Gu Yu was really not sure about competing with an old drama player like Ma Ci, not to mention that Mr. Ma had spoken for him in "Lame", but now he wanted to steal the other party's drama , Gu Yu also felt a little embarrassed.

"Don't think too much, maybe you won't even make it to the audition!"

Gu Yu couldn't help but give his manager a blank look: "Brother Fang, weren't you still comforting me just now?"

Fang Jun raised his eyebrows: "Think about it carefully, how long has it been since "Land of Money" has you filmed, and your hands have already been born? If you are not in good shape, you will definitely not be able to compete with Mr. Ma in the audition."

Gu Yu: "...I'm fine, thank you."

Contrary to what Fang Jun said, because he had enough time to rest, Gu Yu only felt his hands were itchy and wished he could join the filming team immediately.

"You said Mr. Ma wants to change the audience's opinion, but I don't think so." Fang Jun pondered, "After all, he is old and doesn't care about the audience's opinion anymore. If he wants to change himself, he has more opportunities when he is young."

From his perspective as an insider, Ma Ci is indeed better at acting in "civilian" plays.

……

Gu Yu brags enough in front of his agent, but he actually attaches great importance to the audition of "The World", and he also has the mentality of trying to win the role and act in the entire movie.

The crew of "The World" provided the outline of the story and the part of the play that Gu Yu wanted to try. After making an appointment with the other side, Gu Yu carefully recited the lines at home, imitating the image of the character in his mind in front of the mirror, repeating it over and over again. Try, memorize the lines, find the feeling, because he knows that director Geng Ding is very troublesome.

In front of this type of director, it is absolutely impossible to fool the past.

If the director had a bad temper, according to Gu Yu's experience, it is very likely that he will be sprayed on the spot.

Gu Yu felt that his state was like the time when he was auditioning for "Shocking Magpie", nervous and nervous... He hadn't been in this state for a long time.

But for the works that I love, I should pay more.

Gu Yu was deeply impressed by "Zongheng". In his heart, "Tianxia" is a work that can rival "Zongheng".

He asked himself at the time, could he have the performance of Teacher Liu Kejin in "Vertical and Horizontal"?

The answer must be in this "The World".

Yan Xiu also knew about Gu Yu's plan to audition for "The World", and joked with him: "Director Ling made this film late, maybe someday we will compete for the same award."

"Then let me get the prize first." Gu Yu also said with a smile, "Brother Yan, wait a little longer."

Both of them were shortlisted for this year's "Land of Money". Unfortunately, a male lead and a supporting actor cannot constitute competition for the time being. Moreover, according to the rumors of this year's Maple Leaf Awards, the possibility of Yan Xiu winning the award is probably quite high. Gu Yu The odds are much lower.

When "Idol" was shortlisted for the Maple Leaf Award that year, the media was more optimistic about Liu Kejin, but Gu Yu felt that at that time, the media paid more attention to him than now.

Although this has something to do with Gu Yu winning an award once, Gu Yu can really feel that he is not the center of this year's awards season.

"I can't wait anymore, I'll be old when I wait." Yan Xiu refused to give in, "Let's do boxing guessing later, and whoever wins will get the prize."

Gu Yu: "...Is the Maple Leaf Award given by your family?"

Yan Xiu: "Yes."

Gu Yu: "...Did you come to interfere with me on purpose?"

He expresses deep doubts about Yan Xiu's motives.

However, although the Maple Leaf Award was not awarded by the other party, Gu Yu estimated that in about ten years, with Yan Xiu's status and influence, it would be no problem to be the chairman of the jury. If Gu Yu himself maintained a high output, If the quality of the work is guaranteed to be above the average line, he should also be able to pass the class.

After Yan Xiu hung up the phone, Gu Yu couldn't help but ask his agent why he was so free when he was filming.

To this question, the agent did not give an answer, so Gu Yu secretly went to director Ling Zhihuai to file a complaint against Yan Xiu for secretly calling during filming.

Director Ling: "... I think you are more leisurely than him."

……

Gu Yu pondered the script for a few days at home, and then re-watched "Zongheng" on the video site. The protagonist image of "The World" is actually quite different from "Zongheng". However, watching Liu Kejin's works can give him inspiration. He is unrivaled in the control of details, eyes, movements, expressions... The image of a generation of heroes came alive under his interpretation.

Finally, when the day of the audition came, Gu Yu reckoned that besides him, there should be a few other actors eyeing this role. What he didn't expect was that he ran into an acquaintance just as he entered the elevator.

Qiao Xizhou.

Gu Yu hasn't heard about Qiao Xizhou for a long time. Not only has he kept a low profile, but his fans don't seem to talk much online either.

Gu Yu vaguely remembered that Qiao Xizhou seemed to have cooperated with Qi Shi once?But then it seems that there is no more text.

The other party was also a little surprised when he saw Gu Yu. Gu Yu advanced to the elevator, and the other party hesitated for a while before following in.

There was silence in the elevator.

Gu Yu knew very well that Qiao Xizhou was a proud person. He lost to Gu Yu in the audition for "The Magpie" back then, and it was only later that so many rumors of conflicts between the two came to light.

In addition, "Graduation Season" was missed by Gu Yu, and the conflict between the two became deeper and deeper.

In the past, Qiao Xizhou was a representative of talented actors in the circle, the youngest nominee for the Maple Leaf Award, after Gu Yu came to power, he was gradually forgotten by the film circle, and the few commercial films he acted in before hit the street—as we all know, commercial films For young actors, it's a big deal. If there are several hits in a row, the actor will probably be returned by the film industry.

Gu Yu only knew that Qiao Xizhou probably acted in one or two low-budget literary films, but unfortunately none of them were splashy.

The two got out of the elevator one after the other without making a sound, but to those who knew them on this floor, it was already a miracle that the two of them could appear together.

"The two of them will actually show up on the same occasion."

"I don't even look at Gu Yu's current status. If Qiao Xizhou avoids him, he will only be embarrassed."

"Hey, in the 30th year of Hedong and the 30th year of Hexi, Qiao Xizhou was also beaten up by reality. He was such a proud person before."

Gu Yu turned a deaf ear to such voices. He knew that Qiao Xizhou must be very embarrassed at the moment. Although he didn't like the other party, he didn't like to add insult to injury.

Gu Yu walked forward without squinting. The audition room was at the very front. He estimated that not many actors came to audition for "The World". The protagonist of "The World" must be played by an experienced actor. The film school selects people or conducts large-scale auditions.

That is unrealistic after all.

"They're all here." Geng Ding nodded to the actors in the audition room with a cold face.

Today, there were only four actors competing. In addition to Gu Yu and Qiao Xizhou, there were also Zhong Shushu and Qian Shaoyu, both of whom were around Gu Yu's age.

Seeing Gu Yu in the audition room, they were also a little surprised. Although they tried their best to suppress their displeasure, they knew in their hearts that if Gu Yu had to compete for this role, they would definitely not be able to compete.

After all, Gu Yu was well-known, and the reason why the other party was able to make his way in the film industry was because of his superb acting skills.

They couldn't help but think, why did Gu Yu fall in love with this role?

Zhong Shushu and Qian Shaoyu are all focused on developing in the film industry, and the benchmark in their minds is naturally Gu Yu. They carefully counted Gu Yu's past resumes. Apart from lamenting Gu Yu's good luck, they were also impressed by the other party's provocation level.

But they were sure that, apart from "Jianghu" several years ago, Gu Yu didn't seem interested in ancient costume themes!

What's more, "The World" is still a kind of heavy movie. Looking at the films that Gu Yu has taken over the past two years, the ending of "The Kingdom of Money" may be a bit heavy, but the climax of the plot is definitely a refreshing template that pleases the audience.

Zhong Shushu and Qian Shaoyu looked at each other, and then saw Qiao Xizhou sitting opposite, their mentality suddenly became more balanced.

They all feel a little uncomfortable here, let alone Qiao Xizhou?

Everyone in the circle of conflicts between Qiao Xizhou and Gu Yu knows everyone. It can be said that Gu Yu almost stepped on Qiao Xizhou to rise to the top - watching his opponent climb on his head, this feeling must be extremely uncomfortable.

But they noticed that Qiao Xizhou's face was calm, and he didn't mean to be influenced by Gu Yu at all.

According to the order given by Director Geng Ding, Zhong Shushu and Qian Shaoyu auditioned in the front, Qiao Xizhou and Gu Yu in the last, and the audition location is in this room, and everyone can see each other's performance.

Gu Yu raised his brows slightly, Director Geng Ding really didn't show mercy.

Generally speaking, the auditions of ordinary crews do not allow actors to see their opponents' performances-it is easy to form enemies if they suppress their opponents, and their level is far inferior to that of their opponents, so they will be embarrassed to meet them in the future.

If everyone acting in the same crew is okay, even if the acting is bad, the co-actors will find each other to complement each other.

This kind of audition situation is the most embarrassing. Watching the role you want being snatched away by the other party means that in the director's mind, your level is a head lower than the other party's.

By this time, whoever is ugly will be embarrassed.

Gu Yu was also a little nervous by Director Geng Ding's operation - the other party looked like a director who couldn't even smile. Among the directors Gu Yu worked with, Zhao Hang was the very irritable type in the crew, and Ling Zhihuai is a grinding and slow director, but they are very kind in private, and they are hardly stern.

Before Gu Yu came, he forgot to ask Fang Jun about Geng Ding's character.

He came to the audition full of confidence, and now he couldn't help recalling where he was not well prepared, lest he accidentally make a fool of himself in front of everyone.

Others can make excuses for their poor performances. After all, he has won awards and has burdens.
