"A lama came from the south, carrying five kilograms of sole (tǎ) ants in his hand, and a mute came from the north with a trumpet on his waist..."

At dawn, Cao Jun got up from the bed and read a few tongue twisters in front of the bathroom mirror.

The first line lesson that Cao Jun learned at the film school was to practice tongue twisters to improve his personal line skills.

In fact, every industry has its most basic skills. Peking Opera is "singing, reciting, doing and fighting", crosstalk is "speaking, learning and singing", and performance is "forming the stage"...

The predecessors liked to use just four words to summarize an art category. It seems concise and concise, but in fact it is profound and profound.

"Sound stage form", the essence and method of performance, never change from its origin, and all come from this four-character scripture.

Cao Jun thought to himself that since he had decided to return to his old career, his basic performance skills should not be too bad.

Especially the lines, Cao Jun has always attached great importance to it, because in this circle, as long as the lines are spoken well, the acting skills are basically the same.

As for the actor with the best line skills in the Mainland, Cao Jun has always had an idol in his heart, and that is his senior brother Wang Zhiwen.

He believes that Wang Zhiwen's line skills are at the ceiling level. His plays have reached a level where you can listen to them with your ears, and you can feel the character's movements, behavior and rhythm from his voice.

Of course, Wang Zhiwen's ability to pick up girls is also at the ceiling level. He can be called a role model for our generation. All the girlfriends he has ever had are goddess-level figures.

Moreover, in addition to this, Wang Zhiwen's characteristic is to "deliver" perfect lovers to other people in the entertainment industry.

Because after getting along with him, his ex-girlfriends all found their suitable partners after being tested and trained by him, and almost all of them were loving.

Closer to home, Cao Jun is self-aware. He does not expect to surpass or come close to Wang Zhiwen's script skills. His idea is very simple. Just reach the average level and don't hold back.

After practicing a few tongue twisters and washing up, Cao Jun was ready to go downstairs for breakfast.

As soon as he came out of the room, Cao Jun met Jiang Xin coming out of the next room.

Cao Jun was a little surprised. He didn't expect to encounter Jiang Xin twice in a row in just two days.

Moreover, Cao Jun never imagined that Jiang Xin would live next door to him by chance. He couldn't help but sigh: "What a coincidence?"

Hearing what Cao Jun said, Jiang Xin was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Cao Jun with a look that looked crazy, and asked: "Do I know you?"

Cao Xiaojun replied: "I've seen him before, but I don't count him as acquaintance."

Jiang Xin said "Oh" and said nothing more. She immediately withdrew her gaze, turned around and went to the door of another room, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

Seeing that Jiang Xin was not willing to deal with him, Cao Jun thought it was normal and did not feel disappointed.

After all, they only knew each other once, so it was normal for them not to know each other. Thinking like this, Cao Jun went to the elevator entrance to wait for the elevator.

As soon as Cao Jun entered the elevator, he saw the elegant middle-aged man from yesterday walking out of another room.

"Dad, let's go."

Hearing Jiang Xin's words, Cao Jun recalled that the middle-aged man he met yesterday turned out to be Jiang Xin's father.

At this time, the elevator door was closed, and Cao Jun did not intend to wait for the father and daughter. He took the elevator downstairs alone, and then went to the street to have breakfast.

Breakfast was relatively casual, with just a bowl of hot soy milk and two golden fried dough sticks, Cao Jun could fill his stomach and still have more to eat.

By the way, Cao Jun came to Hengdian this time mainly for "Legend of Sword and Fairy". He only had less than 6,000 yuan left in his bank card.

Although he didn't have much money, Cao Jun felt in his heart that men should treat themselves better, not wrong themselves, and pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Besides, Cao Jun didn't plan to stay for a long time, so he dared to be so extravagant and live in this Galaxy Hotel where the room fee was over a hundred yuan.

If the drama "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is not selected, Cao Jun does not plan to audition for other dramas. Instead, he plans to return to Beijing to find a record company to release an album, and then make his debut as a singer.

In his previous life, Cao Jun had listened to many hit songs, and just a few hit songs were enough for him to become famous in the music world.

Of course, in Hengdian Film and Television City, Cao Jun was not completely unfamiliar with the place.

Because there are two juniors from the vocational class of the Film Academy who are also running movies here in Hengdian. One of them is called Yiwei Yiwei, and the other is named Zhang Songwen.

Zhou Yiwei, nicknamed Jiaqian Jushi, has a very smooth handwriting.

However, this year, Zhou Yiwei is still just an unknown newcomer, and he is going through a downturn in the past two years, where he has been unable to apply what he has learned.

Zhang Songwen is from Shaoguan, Guangfu Province, half of Cao Xiaojun's hometown. He was admitted to the Film Academy at the age of 28. He is an out-and-out drama fanatic.

Due to his unattractive appearance, Zhang Songwen basically couldn't get any roles. He had no choice but to play small roles to make a living.

Zhou Yiwei's situation is not much better. He and Zhang Songwen travel together and work on the set 360 days out of 365 days a year.

Being alone and bored, Cao Jun picked up his Nokia 6108 and dialed Zhang Songwen's number.

Although Zhang Songwen is his junior brother, he is several years older than Cao Jun. Out of politeness, Cao Xiaojun usually calls him "Brother Wen."

"Brother Wen, what are you busy with?"

Zhang Songwen uses a PHS, but the signal is not very good and intermittent, so he can only shout loudly.

"Hey! Ah Jun, Yiwei and I are going to audition for the crew. We..."

After listening to Zhang Songwen's words, Cao Jun did not hesitate and said directly to him: "Then you go about your business first and have lunch together."

"Okay, I'll call you later!"

After talking to Cao Jun on the phone, Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei went to the crew of "The Sword and Sword Lover Liu Sanbian" to audition.

In order to show his professionalism and superiority, the deputy director of the play used Zhang Songwen as a "living teaching material" that he could not be an actor in front of many investors.

After reading Zhang Songwen's information, the assistant director pointed at Zhang Songwen and said: "Look, everyone, he is from Canton, and with this kind of figure, he is a dwarf!"

"Look at his brain. It looks like an ape. Such a person cannot be an actor."

"The threshold for our entertainment industry is not that low. Not just cats and dogs can get in!"

After hearing the assistant director's words, Zhang Songwen's face instantly froze, while Zhou Yiwei suppressed a smile and looked gloating.

Then, the assistant director pointed at Yiwei Yi, who was snickering beside him, and said, "Why are you laughing? Do you think you are more handsome than him?"

Without waiting for Zhou Yiwei's answer, the assistant director continued: "Look at this guy, he can't be an actor. Look at his mouth, it's like a sausage mouth."

"Have you ever seen any actor appear on camera with two sausages hanging from his mouth?"

"No? No? Anyway, I've never seen any famous actor with a sausage mouth!"

Faced with the cynicism of the assistant director and the ridicule of the crowd, the two young men, who were insulted and shocked, had no choice but to exit the door.

At this moment, the two of them were so upset that they even forgot to press the number for the downstairs when they entered the elevator. They just stood there blankly for a long, long time...

After regaining consciousness, Zhang Songwen, who is 1.75 meters tall, began to be dissatisfied. He thought to himself that he was not too tall, but he was not too short either.

Andy Lau and Tony Leung are both 1.74 meters tall. If they can play leading roles and win Best Actor, why should they say he looks like a dwarf?

In terms of appearance, Zhang Songwen is not as good as Zhou Wei, who is 6 years younger than him, but one has become an "ape-man" and the other has become a "sausage mouth".

It can also be seen from this that the entertainment industry still values ​​​​face.

In comparison, the outstanding-looking Cao Jun received much better treatment. Although he failed many times, he at least played many more important roles, so he didn't have to play small roles and had more money.

Noon, Wan Ke Lou Hotel.

Cao Jun was the host and ordered a portion of stir-fried eggplant and pork, a portion of yuba and vermicelli stew, a portion of fried egg with green onions, and a portion of kelp and pork ribs soup.

Although they were all home-cooked dishes, they still consisted of three dishes and one soup. Originally, Cao Jun wanted to order a side of green vegetables, but he was afraid that he would not finish the meal and waste it, so he did not order it.

When they were away from home, it was rare for them to be treated by their senior brothers. Yiwei Yiwei and Zhang Songwen were not polite. After a few polite words with Cao Jun, they started to wolf down the food.

"Don't be discouraged, you two. Believe in yourself. As long as you persist, you will succeed sooner or later..."

After learning about what happened to Yiwei Yiwei and Zhang Songwen, Cao Jun picked his teeth and enlightened them as a senior brother.

In fact, in his previous life, Cao Jun did not believe that they could succeed, nor did he believe that they could be actors for a lifetime.

As a result, everyone knew what happened next. No one asked about Zhou Yiwei's role as a minor player for ten years, and his words were well known to the world.

And Zhang Songwen has also become a drama star with superb acting skills through popular works such as "The Hidden Corner" and "The Revolutionary".
