Chapter 6 The transition from group performance to actor
"It doesn't matter, what we are filming is not official history. You just need to understand it briefly. Xiao Zhao, hand him the script." Yu Zheng said, taking out a script from his bag, which only had a few pages.
Assistant director Xiao Zhao took over the script with confusion. Didn't the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen already decide on the candidate? Isn't this shooting just to bring out Yinzhen's appearance? Why do we need to replace him?
Yu Zheng has not told the crew members about Mao Zijun's resignation, because that would cause unnecessary panic and trouble. As long as the replacement actor is confirmed, the news will not cause any disturbance.
Time is very tight, and the crew can no longer withstand any accidents, so they must stay calm.
Li He took the script and when Yu Zheng nodded, he read it carefully, immersing himself in it and thinking about the character's mentality. Through research, he found that if this drama was filmed, it should be quite bloody.
First, a guy named Luo Qingchuan traveled to the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Then several of Kangxi's sons fell in love with her and each used their own methods to win her heart. The most competitive among them were Si Age and Eighth Age. Later, Si Age
The elder brother won the throne, and the eighth elder brother won Qingchuan, and the two returned to the modern happy life.
In TV dramas, you look at the actors, in TV dramas, you look at the scripts, and in movies, you look at the director. Even though Li Hyuk didn't understand this, he felt that if it was filmed according to this script, he would definitely not watch it, and he would get goosebumps.
But then again, what does it have to do with him? He only acts in a small group. According to the original owner's academic qualifications, it is impossible to take the civil service examination and become an official. But now the opportunity to be an actor is in front of you. If you don't take advantage of it,
, wouldn’t it be a missed opportunity?
Thinking of this, Li He raised his head and said: "Director, I'm ready..."
"OK, then you act out the part of the script No. B4, and I will act for you." Yu Zheng said, getting up from his seat, taking the script, and motioned for Li He to start.
Niu Zhili and the extras were waiting outside. One of the extras who had not yet gone to audition came to Niu Zhili and asked: "Brother Niu, why did that handsome guy go so long? Is something going to happen?"
Niu Zhili glanced at the extra actor and said, "How do I know? Maybe he is a good actor?"
"Ah? Then don't we have no chance?" Several extras who had not auditioned yet looked disappointed.
Just when these group performances were unfounded, Li Hyuk walked out of the director's studio with his usual calm expression.
Niu Zhili quickly went up and asked, "How was it? How was the audition result?"
Several extras nearby who had not auditioned yet had expressions of anticipation and hope that Li Hyuk would fail.
"Brother Niu, that eunuch was not selected..." Li He whispered.
Niu Zhili patted Li He on the shoulder and said: "It doesn't matter, there will be a better opportunity next time..."
"Yes, yes, don't be discouraged, handsome man." One of the extras pretended to comfort him, but actually he was laughing inside.
"It's just Brother Niu, the director gave me another role..." Li He looked at the extras in front of him and thought they were so funny, so he deliberately let it slip.
Niu Zhili quickly asked: "What role is it?"
Li He looked left and right, and there were many curious extras around him, so he pulled Niu Zhili aside and asked: "Brother Niu, are you familiar with the broker-related business?"
"Broker business?" Niu Zhili was confused, but still replied: "I have studied it before, but I haven't passed the certificate."
"As long as you have done some research, it doesn't matter whether you prove it or not," Li He said.
In fact, many industry giants work without licenses, but this does not prevent them from becoming powerful agents in the entertainment industry.
"What kind of role is it? Tell me so I can be prepared!" Brother Niu asked in a low voice.
Li He looked left and right, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he whispered: "Director Yu said that I am very suitable to play the role of the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen. I just passed the audition and asked me to sign the actor contract in three days."
Niu Zhili's big dark face turned red, his mouth formed an O shape, and he looked extremely surprised.
Li He was very satisfied with the effect. It was not in vain to pretend to be mysterious for so long. In fact, even if Li He didn't do these miscellaneous things, Niu Zhili was already surprised.
What is this? Is this a sign that a Baoqiang is about to appear under my command? OMG, Niu Zhili feels like he is almost suffocating.
"Brother Niu, are you okay?" Li He asked with concern.
Niu Zhili came back to his senses: "I'm fine, but for such a professional matter, you should find a professional agent. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to find me."
Li He spread his hands and said: "You also know me. I have just joined the group acting circle and I don't know many group members. How can I know any managers? Besides, the time is too short and there is no time."
"That's true. Well, since you trust me, Brother Niu, I will help you negotiate with the crew and try my best to get a good treatment." Niu Zhili agreed immediately.
"Thank you, Brother Niu..."
"You're welcome, I have a serious actor, and I'm very happy, haha."
Therefore, Niu Zhili became Li He's temporary manager and was responsible for negotiating with the crew.
Li Hyuk took the car back to the city that day, and Brother Niu also went back together, leaving only the few extras who passed the audition.
Before leaving, Xiao Ying still provocatively took a fancy to Li He, which seemed to mean, I asked you to reject me, now you know you regret it, right?
But if Xiao Ying knew that Li Hyuk had accomplished the goal she had always wanted to accomplish, transforming from an extra to an actor, she wouldn't know what to think. She might regret why she wasn't more tempted by Li Hyuk.
But now, the trajectories of the two are completely different, and what awaits them will only be a widening identity gap.
Back at Tiantongyuan, Li He planned to study the script carefully. Since the contract was about to be signed, Li He could not go back on his word, so Yu Zheng asked Li He to bring the script back and let him study it carefully.
What's so interesting about studying a bloody script? Despite this thought, Li Hyuk still took it back.
With Li Hyuk's current status, he can only choose the script, and he has no qualifications to choose the script. Although Li Hyuk thinks that the drama "Palace" is 100% a failure, the first to be unlucky is definitely the director and the leading actors.
, he really doesn’t have to take the blame for a small supporting role.
If people could guess the ending of everything, there wouldn't be so many accidents and surprises. At this time, Li Hyuk would never have thought that this bloody drama would be so popular.
When Ma Qiang came back from filming, he asked Li He to have dinner with him and ask about the audition situation. He knew his little brother's skills well. He was not proficient in acting at all and probably wouldn't get the role, so he came here to comfort him.
"I got the part."
"Ah?" Ma Qiang picked up a piece of pig intestine with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. This intestine restaurant located next to the Anorectal Hospital tastes great, but the location is a bit weird.
"I said I got the role." Li He took a sip of the soda and saw that Ma Qiang was eating so deliciously, but he had no appetite at all.
What weird boss would have thought to open a fat intestine restaurant next to an anorectal hospital, which would make people feel uncomfortable.
Ma Qiang finally swallowed it, his eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Now you have won the role? Playing the eunuch?"
"No, I am playing the role of a prince." Li Hyuk replied.
"Playing the prince? How about that role?" Ma Qiang asked curiously.
"There will probably be scenes in six or seven episodes!" Li Hyuk said.
"Let me go, you are also a supporting role, why would the crew ask you to play it?" Ma Qiang was not calm anymore.
"Well, according to the director, the actor resigned temporarily, and I was just right, so he cast me." Li Hyuk said.
"You're so lucky," Ma Qiang said enviously, "Why don't I have such luck?"
"Maybe I'm handsome, which matches the temperament of the character!" Li Hyuk thinks this is the reason.
"I think so. When will the contract be signed? Or has it already been signed? Can I accompany you to take a look?" Ma Qiang asked quickly.
Li He waved his hand and said, "Don't panic. The first priority is to find a lawyer and be familiar with the actor's contract as soon as possible."
"OK, leave it to Brother Qiang and me. I happen to know a few friends who work in law firms. I'll ask them if they have any suitable candidates."
"Brother Qiang, how many people do you know?"
"Didn't I tell you that I can't go to the capital city except the Forbidden City and Zhonghai Nanhai, but I can go to other places."
