Gao Cheng didn't hide it, and heard him say melancholy: "Yuning majored in acting. He was originally going to pursue acting, but because of me, I'm afraid this path won't work!"
"But after more than ten years of studying hard in a cold window, don't you think you can just give up?"
Gao Cheng glanced at his younger son who was a little moved, and continued: "So I want to fight for him again. If I can get the forgiveness of the Wang family, maybe there will be another chance!"
"Dad, I...I don't..."
Gao Yuning bit his lip. It was obviously the first time he heard these words, which moved him quite a bit.
It turns out that my father, who has always been strict, has secretly done so much for me.
But Gao Yuning felt extremely aggrieved when he thought that his father, who had always been very strong-willed, might even be humiliated by the Wang family if he asked for help for himself.
"Yuning, I'm already old. It doesn't matter whether I act or not, but you are still young. Do you really want to see so many years of hard work go to waste?"
Gao Cheng waved his hand to stop what his son wanted to say.
These few explanations made both Shen Mu and Ye Lan sigh with emotion. What a pitiful parents in the world.
"So... Xiao Shen, your script is really good, but I can only say sorry!"
Gao Cheng turned around apologetically, and even reluctantly glanced at the script in Shen Mu's hand.
It can be seen that he really likes the script of Lang Ya Bang, or the character of Emperor Liang.
But because of his son, Gao Cheng had to give up such a role that suited him. All of this was seen by Shen Mu.
At this time, Gao Yuning did not speak anymore. Even if he disapproved of his father's actions, he did not want to let down his father's hard work, which would make his father even more sad.
Or maybe Gao Yuning really has a heart for acting. After so many years of hard work, he is extremely unwilling to change his dream without even acting in a movie.
"Brother Gao, have you ever thought about acting in a TV series?"
At this moment, Shen Mu suddenly turned his attention to Gao Yuning and asked this question, which made both father and son stunned.
"TV drama……"
Hearing this statement, Gao Yuning fell into silence for a moment.
Because of the influence of his father, his biggest dream in life is to appear on the big screen.
Filmmakers who have this kind of dream have always looked down on actors who act in TV series. Even in Gao Yuning's mind, I'm afraid he has never thought about such a problem.
But at this moment, because of Gao Cheng's reaction just now and the compromises he might have made for himself, Gao Yuning's mentality has changed greatly.
Firstly, Gao Yuning didn't want his father to beg the Wang family for him, and secondly, judging from his father's reaction after reading the script, the quality of the script was probably very important.
However, it was too difficult for Gao Yuning to make a decision all at once because of his childhood dream, so he fell into a tangle for a while.
"Mr. Gao, don't you think the role of the prince is quite suitable for Brother Gao?"
Shen Mu can always find a good entry point. Although he has never seen Gao Yuning's performance, he can deduce the other party's personality from his previous performance.
If you want to play a role well, it has a lot to do with the actor's personality.
Especially some actors who have just graduated from school, or those who have just learned acting.
The prince in the Wolf Fang Bang script, who was later known as King Xian, was himself an impulsive and irritable person.
This point has been clearly demonstrated by Gao Yuning just now.
Shen Mu didn't want to give up on Gao Cheng, and the latter would even go to the Wang family to ask for help for his son's acting career, so let's work from this point of view.
"Haha, Mr. Gao and Brother Gao are father and son in real life, and they are also father and son in the drama. If this drama becomes a big hit in the future, wouldn't it be a great story?"
Shen Mu's voice kept coming, which made Ye Lan admire him a little, and secretly wondered why he hadn't thought of such a good reason for persuasion just now?
Hearing the other party's consecutive words, Gao Cheng was a little moved, but seeing his son's silent state, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"Xiao Shen, you may not know that acting in movies has always been Yu Ning's dream since childhood!"
In this case, it was considered as another polite refusal. Perhaps in Gao Cheng's heart, no matter whether it would be useful to ask the Wang family, he at least needed to give it a try first.
Gao Yuning must have thought this way in his mind. If there was a chance to act in a movie, who would lower himself to act in a TV series?
Perhaps this is the special innate persistence of a descendant of a film family!
If the Wang family really refuses to compromise and Gao Yuning's last illusion is cut off, maybe he will consider other options.
As the saying goes, a son is better than his father. Gao Cheng had already seen through his son's thoughts, and this was a decision he made after thinking for a long time.
People like him, once they make a decision, rarely change it.
"Mr. Gao……"
Shen Mu still felt a little pity, and when he wanted to say something again, a hint of displeasure appeared on Gao Cheng's face.
Why is this little director so blind?
"Shen Mu, why don't you let Mr. Gao think about it first?"
Next to her, Ye Lan, as a manager, naturally had higher emotional intelligence. She looked at Gao Cheng's face and saw Gao Cheng's displeasure, so she gave Shen Mu a step down.
The other party's intention to refuse is already obvious. If it continues, the relationship may become bad, and the gain outweighs the loss.
With the current situation, there is no chance. As long as the Gao family and his son hit a wall with the Wang family, they may turn around and come to them to play the role of Langya Bang. That is the right way.
"Well, if you still don't give up, Director Shen, then Gao can give you another chance!"
Seeing Shen Mu's buttocks not moving, Gao Cheng's displeasure became stronger.
This Shen Mu is too ignorant of the ways of the world, so let's teach him a lesson.
Today's young directors really think that they have made a good movie, but they don't know how high the sky is. What's the matter with staying at home?
In fact, Shen Mu just didn't want to miss Gao Cheng, an actor who was very suitable for the role. As long as there was a chance, he wanted to work harder. When he heard Gao Cheng's words, his eyes lit up.
It's just that Shen Mu didn't seem to hear the underlying meaning in the other person's tone. This "Xiao Shen" stopped calling him, and even called himself Gao. These all represented Gao Cheng's unhappy mood.
"Can you play Go?"
Gao Cheng glanced at the exquisite box that Ye Lan placed at his feet, and naturally recognized that it was a Go chess set, so he asked directly, making both Shen Mu and Ye Lan guess what the other party might be up to.
"know a little!"
At this time, Shen Mu could only bite the bullet and answer truthfully, while secretly cursing the system again in his heart.
Last night, Shen Mu checked Gao Cheng's information on the Internet and found out that he didn't have many hobbies, and his favorite was Go.
It is said that he has even achieved amateur rank and his chess skills are extremely strong.
Shen Mu learned Go when he was in school, but it was only at the superficial stage.
He immediately guessed what Gao Cheng wanted to do, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
"Then let's play the next game. If I lose, our father and son will agree to join your crew. But if I win, please stop pestering me!"
As expected, as Shen Mu expected, in order to stop the young director from pestering him, Gao Cheng had to take this tactic. This was actually a clear attitude to drive away the director.
The expression on Gao Yuning's side was also a little strange. He knew his father's chess skills very well and believed that Shen Mu would never have a chance to win.
"Shen Mu, why don't we leave?"
Ye Lan pulled Shen Mu's sleeve, she would not believe that Shen Mu could win anyway.
Wouldn't it be self-defeating to play chess with this veteran actor who has the best chess skills in the entertainment industry?
The other party didn’t even bother to hide his refusal. Anyway, he won’t win in the end, so he will definitely leave. Why do he still have to do such useless work?
"Haha, let's give it a try. What if Mr. Gao just wants to find a step and let me go on purpose?"
However, Shen Mu didn't have much psychological burden. Hearing his half-joking words, Gao Cheng's face suddenly darkened.
"On the chess track, doing your best is the greatest respect for your opponent!"
Gao Cheng's voice came out, making Shen Mu look a little embarrassed.
He realized that he had gone too far with his joke. In the other's mind, winning or losing in Go was probably very important.
This is indeed the case. Gao Cheng cared about two things most in his life, one was acting and the other was playing chess.
These two things are sacred in his heart and cannot be blasphemed.
Now Shen Mu actually wants to let him go, which is a different kind of humiliation for Gao Cheng, causing his original good impression of Shen Mu to drop again and again.
Of course, if the young director in front of him could beat him in a game of chess, that would be another matter, but in his heart, he thought this was absolutely impossible.
"Yuning, bring me the chessboard!"
Gao Cheng glanced at the exquisite gift box next to Ye Lan's feet again. This was not a promise to the other party, so naturally he could not accept the other party's gift, so he gave a deep drink.
When Gao Yuning laid out the chessboard with ease and placed the white and black stones in front of Gao Cheng and Shen Mu, he automatically entered the state of watching a play.
As for Ye Lan next to him, he knows nothing about Go.
If the two of them were playing backgammon and she could keep up with some ideas, forget it about Go.
In the hearts of Ye Lan and Gao Yuning, this is probably just a formality.
Among them, Gao Yuning knew that his father was a superb chess player, while Ye Lan knew that Shen Mu was a bad chess player.
So is there any comparability between the two?
In a sense, this can be regarded as a step down that Gao Cheng found for Shen Mu.
The opportunity has been given to you, but you didn't take it, so who's to blame?
