Chapter 27: 'Number One in the World' starts!

February 16, morning.

Cao Jun and Zhou Yi went to the train station to see Zhang Songwen off.

This time when he went south, Zhang Songwen was not going to act, but was invited by Southern Television to temporarily prepare to set up a "crash course in acting" for the sitcom TV series "The Strange Son-in-law Riding the Dragon".

This is also the first time he has been invited to be an acting coach. Before, he worked as a teaching assistant at the Beijing Film Academy, and the salary was so low that he couldn't even pay the rent.

Thinking that he still owed Cao Jun 1,000 yuan, Zhang Songwen looked ashamed and said: "Ajun, I will not default on the 1,000 yuan I owe you. I have two months left and I will definitely make enough money to pay you back."

Cao Jun said angrily and funny, "Brother Wen, look at you, I didn't ask you for any money. Why are you telling me this? It's as if I came to the train station with you to ask you for a debt."

"

After listening to Cao Jun's words, Zhang Songwen scratched his head in embarrassment: "Ah Jun, I'm sorry, it was me who was out of sight."

Cao Jun then said: "Brother Wen, don't think too much. Seize this opportunity first and do your job well."

Zhou Yiwei also said: "Yes, old ghost, take good care of yourself. Don't worry about money for now. If you don't have money to pay back, I will help you pay it back then!"

Zhang Songwen smiled bitterly and said nothing. He just looked at the crowded train station with mixed feelings.

Obviously, he was reluctant to leave the capital, but the past few years he had been living in the capital were really miserable.

You must know that Zhang Songwen, who has been ranked among the top ten tour guides in Guangfu Province for many years in a row, has been in the world for many years, but because he chose the acting profession, he became a pauper with only dreams and no money.

Zhang Songwen also didn't know when he would be able to come back next time after leaving the capital this time.

However, Zhang Songwen firmly believes that he will come back again, because the capital is the place where his dream began.

On February 18, the long-prepared costume drama "The Best in the World" finally held a grand opening ceremony at Wuxi Film and Television City.

The drama "No. 1 in the World" lives up to its name. Both the front and backstage casts are composed of the most popular celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. The actors are both capable and idols.

For example, Wang Jing, a well-known director in Hong Kong who is responsible for the production, script and directing of the play, Cheng Xiaodong, a well-known martial arts instructor at home and abroad, and director Deng Yancheng, who is well-known in the film industry, are all heavyweights behind the scenes.

The cast in front of the stage includes Lu Yapeng, a popular youngster from the Mainland, Gao Yuanyuan, a high-quality vase, and newcomer Wang Shengyi, who was highly praised in Stephen Chow's movie "Kung Fu".

Hong Kong TVB's Best Actor of the Year Kwok Jin On, leading actress Ye Xuan, mistress killer Lu Songren, as well as Taiwan's popular idols Huo Jianhua and Chen Yirong, a strong lineup that the film producers frequently say is awesome.

It is worth mentioning that both Yang Dengkui and Wang Jing, the presidents of the eight major TV stations, attach great importance to this large-scale production jointly produced by them.

In order to conceive such a brand-new genre and content, the two of them went back and forth for more than ten times, and finally came up with the drama "No. 1 in the World", a drama between two grown men.

Interestingly, the title of the play "No. 1 in the World" also vividly expresses Yang Dengkui's self-requirement of "to be big and to be No. 1".

Before the opening ceremony, the main creative staff of "The World's Best" crew crowded into the crew's dressing room to try on their makeup.

It was Huo Jianhua's first time photographing costumes. At first glance, he was not used to his costume look.

Director Deng Yancheng wanted to make Huo Jianhua look more like a knight, and even asked a makeup artist to add facial hair to give him a mature masculine look.

Cao Jun's makeup test was relatively simple. He put on a dragon robe and a hood. Cao Jun's appearance as Emperor Zhengde basically met the requirements of director Deng Yancheng.

During the fitting process, Cao Jun was surprised to find that each actor wanted to "pad" differently, and male actors loved "padding" more than actresses.

For example, Liu Songren wanted "shoulder pads" to make him walk more gracefully and with more posture. The thin Lu Yapeng wanted to "shoulder pads" so that he could hold his head up and lift his chest. He wanted to give the heroine in the play a full-bodied look with a thick mind.

dependence.

Their weapons made Huo Jianhua, who had already painted a beard on the side, couldn't help but secretly clamor for "insoles" to save himself from feeling shorter standing next to Lu Yapeng, who is more than 180 centimeters tall!

Cao Jun had no interest in padding his breasts or shoes, and he didn't know any of them. They didn't take Cao Jun seriously and treated him as nothing.

After trying on the makeup, Cao Jun didn't want to hinder the work of other actors and staff, so he waited under the eaves outside the dressing room for the crew's next arrangement.

However, Cao Jun, a low-key and introverted person, would still receive sideways glances from others even if he stood alone in a corner without saying a word.

For example, Ye Xuan, who plays Shangguan Haitang, noticed Cao Cao wearing a dragon robe.

Ye Xuan felt that among all the actors present, Cao Jun's appearance ranked second, second only to Huo Jianhua. However, Cao Jun's figure was taller and more burly than Huo Jianhua.

Therefore, taking all the conditions together, in Ye Xuan's mind, Cao Jun is the most eye-catching actor in the entire crew.

Of course, aesthetics always vary from person to person, and there is no unified standard. Ye Xuan thinks that Cao Jun is the most eye-catching, but it does not mean that others have the same view.

Seeing Cao Jun alone in a daze, Ye Xuan walked up to him and greeted him with a smile: "Hey, what's your name?"

Cao Jun was a little surprised when he was suddenly cued by Ye Xuan. He thought to himself, isn't Ye Xuan from Xiangjiang? Why is his Mandarin so standard and has a Jiangnan accent?

You know, in this crew, which is mainly composed of people from Xiangjiang, both in front of and behind the scenes, what Cao Jun hears in his ears is almost all Cantonese dialects.

Moreover, before that, Cao Jun had watched the TV series "Rebirth" starring Ye Xuan on TVB. She quickly became famous in Hong Kong for her role as Meng Lijun, who disguised herself as a man.

Therefore, Cao Jun's first impression of Ye Xuan was that she was a Xiangjiang actress. Under normal circumstances, her Mandarin would be terrible.

Another impression is that news that Ye Xuan was beheaded during a relationship frequently appeared on Weibo hot searches in later generations.

Ye Xuan, who was disguised as a man in front of him, looked very heroic but very pretty. Cao Jun asked curiously: "How come your Mandarin is so good?"

Ye Xuan smiled proudly and said: "I don't know, I am from Hangzhou, not from Xiangjiang. Of course my Mandarin is good."

Without waiting for Cao Jun to answer, he continued: "You haven't answered my question yet. What is your name? How old are you?"

Looking at Ye Xuan who was checking her household registration, Cao Jun smiled and replied: "My name is Cao Jun, I was born in 1982."

Ye Xuan said playfully: "You were born in 1982, so I'm older than you, so you should call me Sister Xuan."

Cao Jun felt that Ye Xuan's way of striking up a conversation was too old-fashioned. In fact, when he was in school, he was often recognized as his younger brother by some seniors. After all, it was not because he wanted to flirt with him.

Cao Jun asked: "How old are you?"

Ye Xuan said: "I was born in 1980."

Cao Jun said disapprovingly: "You are 80 years old and you are not much older than me. Why should I call you Sister Xuan?"

Ye Xuan didn't expect that Cao Jun was not only handsome, but also had such a personality. He was instantly shocked and looked at him crazily.

After a few awkward conversations, Ye Xuan asked: "Are you so handsome? You must have a girlfriend, right?"

Cao Jun thought for a while, he and Jiang Xin were good friends who only entered each other's bodies, but did not enter each other's hearts. They should not be considered serious boyfriend-girlfriend relationships.

It's not that Cao Jun doesn't want to admit this relationship, because from the beginning to the end, Cao Jun objects to being boyfriend and girlfriend with Jiang Xin, they are just good friends with that kind of relationship.

Jiang Xin did not express any clear objection to this.

Thinking of this, Cao Jun said calmly: "No."

Ye Xuan didn't believe it a little, but he was also happy and said: "How can it be possible to be single? You are so handsome."

Cao Jun did not explain, but asked: "Who stipulates that handsome men must have girlfriends?"

Ye Xuan thought for a while and replied with a smile: "What you said seems to be not unreasonable."

By the way, the filming of the drama started in Wuxi Film and Television City. The main characters in the drama gathered together and carefully held incense to worship the gods from all directions.

A group of people who were not very familiar with each other at first, but after some contact, their familiarity increased sharply. When the crew distributed red envelopes for the start of work, everyone smiled at each other, showing extremely cute smiles.

When taking a group photo of the main and creative crew, Cao Jun, wearing a yellow robe, stood in the middle of the second row, behind Liu Songren, who plays the cowardly monkey.

At this moment, Cao Jun was suddenly surprised to find that the actress in green costume standing to his left was actually Gao Yuanyuan, and to his right was teacher Li Jianyi, who played the role of Eunuch Cao.

Gao Yuanyuan noticed that Cao Jun was staring at her, so she turned slightly, showed a polite smile, and nodded as a greeting.

After taking a group photo of the crew, in an interview with reporters, Wang Jing said in a high-key manner: "My satisfaction with the cast this time is as high as 95%!"

Hearing Wang Jing's words, Yang Dengkui, one of the investors, was immediately overjoyed because he personally selected several of the protagonists in the play.

Wang Jing continued: "Li Yapeng is a majestic actor, and he is full of weight as soon as he stands in the camera!"

"Ye Xuan, Gao Yuanyuan's face, figure and professional attitude are beyond words. Guo Jinan and Liu Songren's acting has reached perfection. Chen Yirong is very camera-worthy and her plasticity cannot be underestimated."

"What about Huo Jianhua?"

"Beautiful! My first impression is that this boy is really handsome, better looking than anyone in F4! I am very optimistic about his future development."

As for Cao Jun? Sorry, he is just a transparent person in the entertainment industry and is not qualified for Wang Jing to comment on him.
