Zhang Jiali likes realistic themes, and basically does not shoot costume dramas. The only costume movie he has ever filmed, "Troubled Times", has a heavy and simple tone. In the so-called wave of blockbuster movies with gorgeous style, big investment and big production, it didn't matter at all. Favored by the market, it sank after two thumps.

As a director,? He is not reconciled.

Obviously professional film critics and other directors have seen it and said it is good, so why doesn't the market accept this set?

Film and television companies and capital parties only look at the results.

Zhang Jiali's costume drama failed, so it was very difficult to get more investment.

But he always wants to make another one, to prove that he is not only good at shooting realistic subjects.

People have this idea,? If they seize an opportunity, they will not let it go.

In the past few years, the domestic film and television industry has developed rapidly, and capital has been involved on a large scale, and gambling agreements have emerged in the circle, and capital has deeply intervened in the content industry, using both directors and stars as tools for making money.

Many directors and stars failed to bet against each other because they underestimated their own abilities, and owed a lot of debt to the film and television company.

These debts do not need to be repaid with real money. Film and television companies generally allow these directors and stars to make up for the difference in the price difference owed by continuing to make films or taking less pay.

Zhang Jiali is one of them.

He signed the gambling agreement and lost,? He promised to make three movies for the film and television company to pay off the debt.

Among these three plays,? He asked for a costume play.

Zhang Jiali has his own team, and can start work after finishing the script.

Even though his last costume drama hit the market,? But his reputation is there, and there are still many people who want to act in his drama,? It's just that the actors who come are not well-known, or a little famous. Both cherish feathers, saying that if it is a modern drama, I will come, but if it is a costume drama, I will still decline,? Looking forward to the next cooperation.

The final male and female protagonists are all well-received acting actors in recent years, and the male and female supporting actors are also recognized as capable in the circle.

Everything was fine until yesterday afternoon.

During dinner at night, there was news that the male supporting role could not come. It is said that the male supporting role accidentally stepped into the air and fell off the stage while participating in an event. He is now in the hospital, so he must not be able to make it through.

Zhang Jiali originally wanted to ask the casting director to choose a replacement from the list of candidate actors. Chu Yao happened to have dinner with him, and the two chatted while drinking. Chu Yao and Zhang Jiali were old classmates, so they didn't shy away from it. He recommended to Zhang Jiali to get to know Yun Zheng and Liu Chunxi, and said that the two actors who are filming other scenes are good, so let them try.

This is the benefit of actors who usually perform well and the director likes it.

The director is not afraid that there are many good actors in the circle, the more the better, as long as the character is good, they are also willing to do favors.

Chu Yao drank his tea on the sidelines and didn't interfere in this matter, just watching from the sidelines.

Xie Yunzheng and Liu Chunxi had a problem.

The director only said about a costume drama, and he didn't say anything else, nor did he say how old he was, what his identity was, or what kind of character the character was. He just gave him 10 minutes to prepare, and he still had to convince him?

How to persuade?With acting skills or eloquence?How to behave?

As Chu Yao said, this is an opportunity. Being able to act in Zhang Jiali's play is something they never even dared to think about before. Even many actors in the circle may not be able to act in a Zhang Jiali play in their lifetime.

The entertainment industry is a vanity fair, but it is also a cruel one.

Newcomers and small traffic without works and strength will be eliminated soon, especially now that more and more people are jumping into this circle, and the speed of replacement is getting faster and faster.

If you don’t want to be confused, if you want to survive, you must have works.

Works are the best proof of strength and memory. If there are works, they will not be forgotten.

They all know that this is a rare opportunity, and they all want to seize this opportunity.

Xie Yunzheng asked cautiously: "Director Zhang, can we ask questions?"

Zhang Jiali said decisively, "No."

Xie Yunzheng only hated that he didn't pay much attention to the news of Zhang Jiali's new play. At this moment, he could only try his best to think about what kind of play the scene set up by the crew next door was, and whether he had heard anyone mention it.

Liu Chunxi was also deeply regretful. Yesterday he wanted to go to the crew next door to spy on it, but his plan was messed up because Mrs. Du came out to interfere. Otherwise, wouldn't he be winning now?

Both of them were a little nervous. They looked at each other, and seeing that the other party was not the same as themselves, they both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Yunzheng apologized to the two directors, got up and walked to the corner, thinking about it alone.

Liu Chunxi also walked to the window, looking at the busy traffic outside the window, thinking.

10 minutes passed quickly.

Zhang Jiali asked, "Which one of you will come first."

Xie Yunzheng glanced at Liu Chunxi.

Liu Chunxi saw that Xie Yunzheng didn't want to go first, so he was the only one to come.

He walked across to Zhang Jiali and said, "I'll go first."

After seeing Zhang Jiali nodding, Liu Chunxi closed his eyes.

When the director chooses actors, the most convincing thing an actor can show must be performance, not eloquence.

So when he changed his mind at first, he put aside the item of persuasion with words.

The rest is acting.

Playing a role in a costume drama. Since Chu Yao can recommend them to audition for this role, it can be seen that the part of the role is not very important. You must know that Chu Yao’s own "God Level" has not yet finished filming, and it is still far away from the completion of the whole drama. It takes a month.

Then it can only be a supporting role, and the play should not be heavy, but it needs to have good looks, acting skills, and maybe some tricks...

He didn't know what kind of performance Zhang Jiali wanted to see, so he could only try his best to show what he was best at.

Do your best, listen to destiny.

What he is best at is naturally playing himself.

Closing his eyes, the familiar scene deep in his heart resurfaced again.

The teahouse on East Street is one of the places he often goes to. The teahouse has two floors, the lobby on the first floor and the private rooms on the second floor. A storyteller tells stories there all year round.

Two copper coins in the hall can sit for a day.

He always went straight to the second floor and opened a private room.

At the Eight Immortals table, four people sit on one side, and a long bench, three people arrive first, and one is missing.

Brother Gou grabbed the peanuts and said, where are you going today?

Brother Mao knocked on the melon seeds and said, Brother Feng said, he wants to pick another fighting cock to win back the face from last time.

Brother Gou said, what are you waiting for, let's go!

Brother Mao said, what's the hurry, Brother Hu hasn't come yet.

……

When Liu Chunxi opened his eyes, he became that well-known money-spreading boy in the capital again.

He flicked up the non-existent robe, raised his legs and sat down sharply. His body was scattered, his eyes were turned up, one leg was lifted up, and his feet were put on the bench, occupying the entire space by himself. Bench, sitting or not sitting, the whole person is more than [-]% idle.

He reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds that didn't exist, and knocked one by one, one by one.

Occasionally, I raised my eyes and glanced at the person who seemed to be sitting there on the left. I heard something and laughed when I heard something funny.

He glanced at the person on the right who seemed to be sitting there, and laughed as if he had heard some fallacy.

The melon seed shell knocked on the table, and his ears moved, as if he heard the door knocking and someone came in.

He threw the melon seed husk away, and a mockery flashed in his eyes.

The visitor seemed to be apologizing to several people, explaining the reason for being late.

After listening to it, he didn't care, and lazily waved his sleeves, which was considered to be off.

Not a single word was spoken the whole time.

But Zhang Jiali's eyes lit up.

Chu Yao's hand, which was raising a cup and drinking tea, also stopped.

Xie Yunzheng looked at him intently, feeling an illusion in his heart, as if he had been together for almost two months while filming, and he had never seen this person clearly, and he didn't know which side was real and which side was acting.

Liu Chunxi put his legs down, stood up, blinked shyly, and said, "Director Zhang, I'm done."

Zhang Jiali said, "Sit down."

Then he looked at Xie Yunzheng.

It was Xie Yunzheng's turn.

Although Xie Yunzheng was shocked by Liu Chunxi's performance of this silent scene, he was born in a major and has little experience, so he thought that his performance would not be bad.

He picked a more contagious emperor's play from the Qing palace play. The play is good, the lines are good, and it is very deep.

When the acting reaches the emotional point, tears drip down unconsciously, perfectly interpreting the embarrassment and complicated mentality of an emperor when his sons are fighting each other.

Zhang Jiali pointed at Chu Yao, shook his head and smiled.

Chu Yao hehe, if it wasn't for the fact that these two are really good, why would he lick his face and rush to recommend them together.

It's just that I don't want the pearl to be dusty, and I want to give these children a chance.

Zhang Jiali asked Xie Yunzheng to sit down as well.

He looked back and forth between the two young actors, thinking about it, "Both are good actors."

Well, then what?

Both Liu Chunxi and Xie Yunzheng held their breath and opened their eyes wide to wait for the result.

"We will definitely have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." Zhang Jiali said a few words first.

As a director, he knows what kind of actor he wants.

One play discusses one play, one character discusses another.

"My play is based on the legendary drama "Kite Mistakes" created by Li Yu in the Qing Dynasty. If I had to choose the male lead, I would choose Xie Yunzheng. If I had to choose the second male lead, I would choose Liu Chunxi. There will be no problems. The male actor is the male number two, so I chose Liu Chunxi this time, and I hope you can join my play."

Xie Yunzheng looked at Liu Chunxi with envy.

It is impossible to say that you are not envious.

What a great opportunity to be able to act in Zhang Jiali's play, but it's a pity it's not him.

Although Zhang Jiali said that there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future, this statement in the future is too uncertain. It may be one or two years later, or it may be one or 20 years later. He doesn't even know if he can wait.

It's a pity that the skills are not as good as people.

No, it can't be said that his skills are inferior to others, but that he didn't find the right position in the simple prompt given by the director.

Liu Chunxi won because he chose the right role.

details make a difference.

After Zhang Jiali decided on the candidate, he chatted with Liu Chunxi and made an appointment that his assistant would contact him later to discuss the contract and other issues.

Chu Yao knew that Zhang Jiali's new play had just started, and it was the busiest time, so he didn't stay long, and took the two of them away after saying hello.

On the way, Xie Yunzheng asked Liu Chunxi why he thought of playing that kind of role.

Of course Liu Chunxi would not say that what he was acting was his previous daily life, so he just talked about how he judged.

What Zhang Jiali is looking for is a male supporting role. He happened to have watched a drama. In the drama, there are a few boring scenes of ancient princes drinking tea and fighting cocks and knocking melon seeds. A young man should be very relevant.

Xie Yunzheng looked taught.

He said: "When you sat down with your robe lifted, I sweated for you. I was afraid that you would hit the table and chair and knock your feet."

Liu Chunxi let out a haha ​​to deal with it, and said with a smile, "It might have happened to me before, but it took me two months to film a scene directed by Chu, and my legs and feet are more agile, and I have practiced it."

Chu Yao: "Well, this flattery is comfortable."

The author has something to say: Liu Chunchun: Once the melon seeds are cracked, the big show will come

Du Yaoyao: In the wind and rain, I will wait for you on weekends
