Chapter 880: Catch the duck and put it on the shelves
Anyway, it was a book club activity. Everyone had pens and notebooks in their hands, and within a short time they all rushed in.
Wu Di was immediately overwhelmed. Fortunately, Jianbing came to help maintain order. Otherwise, Boss Wu would not be able to do anything else tonight.
The first time he had some free time, Wu Di thought of the theme of the book club. We are actors, and what we usually come into contact with the most are scripts. These days, we really don’t dabble in many other books.
Wu Di was already prepared. Once he learned the content of the discussion, he would search it immediately, at least without showing any cowardice.
Others were very nervous, but Jianbing was very relaxed.
It's as if he didn't bring this trouble.
"Xiao Wu, don't worry, you are particularly good at this topic."
If he hadn't said that, Wu Di would still have some confidence, but he just said it with a smile, and Wu Di started to mutter in an instant.
"Today, we still talk about philosophy."
"And the writer is Camus."
Plus... Camus?
Wu Di's face was so embarrassed that he almost froze. On the other side, Jianbing looked very confident: "Xiao Wu, I know that you are very knowledgeable about Sartre. Camus is a good friend of Sartre. He
You must have read a lot of his works!"
"You have always been a thoughtful actor. You must have some insights into these works. You might as well share them with everyone today."
hehe!
Still sharing?
Now that Wu Di is ready to escape, can he still share it with them?
Dream on!
…………
Dreaming is indeed the most wonderful thing, at least, for the current boss Wu, this is indeed the case.
No matter what, he had passed the book club stage. Although it was embarrassing, due to the limited number of participants, the scope of the shame was still relatively small.
This can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.
When night came, Boss Wu was ready to report the situation, but he did not receive a call from Zhang Feng. Director Zhang was completely assured of him.
Didn't bother to investigate at all.
Boss Wu was extremely disappointed.
How could she not come to investigate?
Is she so relieved about him?
If you were an ordinary man, I would probably wish your girlfriend didn't come to check on you, so that you can be more romantic and unrestrained, but Boss Wu is such an extraordinary bitch.
Although it sounds awkward to say, it does reflect the actual situation.
Zhang Feng's letting go left Wu Di at a loss as to what to do, and even gave birth to the feeling that she didn't care about him at all!
There is no me in her heart!
Never!
Boss Wu is jealous!
This is true jealousy. There is no reason, not even a goal, and the jealousy comes up.
Hum!
I want revenge!
Boss Wu has made his decision.
Isn't now a good opportunity?
There are so many beauties, just pick one and shoot a few scenes with each other. Xiaolong has already promised that as long as it is a scene shot by Wu Di, he will try to keep it.
Wu Di didn't believe it. Seeing him interacting enthusiastically with the little beauties, Zhang Feng could still hold her nerve!
This is the so-called sense of crisis. Lovers should have a little bit of this kind of emotion between them. It's always calm and boiled water, and the relationship will never become intense.
It can only become more and more dull.
So, Boss Wu, who had nothing to do, decided to do something.
Director Xiao Long is a man of his word. He said he would reassign Wu Di's role, but even within a day, he had already fulfilled his promise.
"Director, there is no need to be in such a hurry. There is still time. Even if it is just a guest appearance, I hope to find a good role."
"With highlights."
"It's a bit difficult to perform."
With Wu Di's worth, there is no problem at all in making such a request to Xiao Long. You know, this is the first time that the noble movie star has come to earth to film a TV series!
Moreover, it’s not a starring role, it’s just a guest appearance!
How shameful is this?
And this face was given to Director Xiao Long by Wu Di himself. Once the film is released, all viewers, including the industry, will know that Director Xiao Long is indeed the leader in the TV drama industry.
Even a popular star like Wu Di sells his face and comes to make guest appearances. This will only benefit Director Xiao Long's future works and will not bring any harm.
What's more, we Xiao Wu are not just idols, we are also capable, and our acting skills are beyond words.
It has been verified by many movies and everyone praises it very much. Having Wu Di participate in it will definitely add glory to it.
Director Xiao Long thought so too.
Boss Wu, such a good person, finally joined our crew, how could we not let him give full play to his role?
Of course we have to find a good role for him!
And it’s still a somewhat colorful character.
"Boss Wu, you are finally here!"
"Come and take a look, everything is ready for you!"
Seeing Jianbing's cheerful look, Wu Di felt guilty and felt that nothing good was going on.
The same goes for director Xiao Long. Ever since Wu Di appeared on the set, he has been laughing, quite like the old witch who used poison apples to coax Snow White.
"Director, you can't let me down this time!"
"I heard that you wanted me to play the eunuch last time?"
"This is not appropriate. I came all the way from the capital. There is no credit, but hard work. You are the director and a good friend of Pancake Brother. At this time, you should arrange it for me.
A better character."
"That's how it sounds!"
Director Xiaolong laughed loudly and said very confidently: "Don't worry!"
"This time I ask you to act as a pure man!"
"Teacher Wu, you must know how to cherish. You must know that in a TV series like ours, there are really not many characters who can be called pure men."
"As for the protagonist, you don't have time to play. As for the supporting roles, there are still many women. Therefore, it is not easy to find such a role for you. I have spent a lot of effort."
It's really better to say it than to sing it.
If he really had this intention, he wouldn't have used a eunuch role to dismiss Wu Di at the beginning.
"Look, it's this character."
Wu Di took the script over. Although it was said to be a script, it actually only had a few pages. However, in Wu Di's memory, in addition to the main supporting roles, all the top male characters in this costume drama had five fingers.
Come and count.
Which one will it be?
Guards...
promise……
Ah, this...
"Director Xiaolong, you don't want me to play the secretly having an affair with the guard, do you?"
Director Xiaolong's eyes lit up.
"Teacher Wu, you are really good at pinching and calculating!"
"His Majesty!"
"Sun agreed to have an affair with the guards in the backyard, but was caught!"
Lines!
Until now, that short line still flashes clearly in Wu Di's head.
Wu Di looked at the pancake helplessly: "Brother, the two of us are really destined."
"fate?"
"What fate?"
It was early in the morning, and Pancake's mind was not so clear yet, and he was confused by Wu Di's unreasonable words.
"Director, is it necessary for a male actor to appear in this scene?"
"Isn't it enough to just send a message?"
right!
right!
In Wu Di's impression, this so-called affair guard did not appear at all, and had no role at all.
Not to mention the bodyguards, even the person Sun promised himself did not show up!
The important props, the red mandarin duck bellyband, were not seen by the audience. This TV series was popular all over the country and was broadcast by dozens of TV stations across the country. It was impossible to make any cuts.
"Hey, you don't understand this."
"I added this scene specifically for you. Without you, we really planned to shoot it like this. After all, this is a noble and elegant TV series."
"Although it is a palace story, the realm we strive to achieve is indeed not simple!"
Under Wu Di's cold gaze, Director Xiao Long actually started boasting as if no one else was around and talked about some ideas.
Ruined!
Wu Di immediately regretted it.
Because of his arrival, a simple Qingshui TV series suddenly became colorful.
To act or not to act, that is the question.
But Wu Di had no choice. He was also forced to go to jail!
"All right!"
"Where is Sun promised?"
"The two of us should have a scene together first!"
Sun agreed!
That's a famous emperor's concubine, so she should be played by a beautiful woman!
Looking back at the version I've seen before, it seems that Sun Yasheng himself didn't appear. So, in this case, this should be a newly added character?
Wu Di couldn't help but feel comforted because his efforts actually created a job opportunity for a young actress.
Boss Wu is indeed a man of great merit!
"Eh?"
"Who said there is an actress to play with?"
"This is your one-man show, haven't you read the script?"
I hold the script in my hand, is it just decoration?
That's what Xiaolong's eyes meant.
Wu Di:……
Is this still the director?
Isn't this a deliberate attempt to harass people?
"Brother Jianbing, you really introduced me to a good director!"
“Professional enough.”
Jianbing giggled, with his trademark deep voice, how could he not see Xiaolong's sudden whim.
However, he couldn't admit it.
All I could do was giggle: "Xiao Wu, you are overthinking. We are actors, we are all professionals, and the director also believes in our abilities, so he assigned us such a role."
"Look at me, I don't even care if you cuckold me, what can I do? Aren't they all plots in TV series?"
"Can it still be taken seriously?"
Ah...this...
Now that Jianbing has said so, Wu Di really has nothing to say.
Then shoot it!
However, the affair scene also required a one-man show, and it was hard for director Xiao Long to come up with it. Could it be done?
I really don’t know if he is being original or deliberately making things difficult for Xiao Wu.
No matter what, it's a good thing that I don't have to play a eunuch.
Wu Di is not that easy to bully. Since the original plan has changed, he might as well make some demands.
"Director, can I wear a fake headgear?"
"Xiao Wu, didn't you say before that you could shave your head?"
As soon as this statement came out, it really aroused the common doubts of Jianbing and the director. Wu Di spread his hands and said: "That's what I really thought at the time."
"Let me say it first, I didn't want to wear a fake headgear because I didn't have many roles and thought it was not cost-effective to shave my head. Now I have a new movie to be shot. It is a modern drama. When I promised Brother Pancake before, I had not yet accepted it.
This drama.”
"Since it's a modern drama, it wouldn't be appropriate if I had a bald head."
"I see."
If there is indeed a realistic request, Jianbing can't refuse it. Next, we can only look at director Xiaolong's thoughts.
Is it a substitution?
Or should you satisfy Xiao Wu’s request and continue filming?
For a moment, the three of them stood like this. As a senior director in the industry, Xiaolong didn't say a word.
what does this mean?
Is it possible to take pictures or not?
As things have developed now, Wu Di's mentality has also changed a bit. From the beginning, he did not come with the mentality of starring in TV series and cherishing the opportunity.
It’s just that I know the long-term influence of this TV series in the future and all kinds of jokes and emoticons, so I want to take part in it.
More importantly, you can take a look at all kinds of beauties and feast your eyes on them.
But now, he has seen the beauty, and half of his goal has been achieved. As for whether he can leave a deep impression on the audience in such a TV series with many characters, this seems to be a rare thing.
thing.
Anyway, he absolutely cannot do anything about shaving his head!
Director Xiao Lu’s new film is still waiting for him!
Uncle Zhang, who has double guarantees for his acting skills and box office, is also a good partner for Wu Di at this stage.
Although Uncle Zhang has not yet clearly agreed to take over the filming, Wu Di is already 70% to 80% sure. Why not make such a movie?
One is that the plot structure is guaranteed, and the other is that director Xiao Lu's writing and directing ability can still be trusted. Moreover, with a popular actor like Wu Di as a supporting actor, the entire cast is pretty decent. Such a team is very difficult in today's film industry.
Even though it is rare.
The most important thing is that most of the previous movies starring Uncle Zhang were action and big-budget as their selling points, although this can prove his own box office appeal.
But it has to be said that this appeal is also mixed with some audiences' tolerance and expectations for action blockbusters.
To be honest, if this type of action blockbuster were played by actors with acceptable acting skills, decent image, and good reputations, they would probably be able to achieve good box office results.
The difference won't be too big.
Therefore, for Uncle Zhang, director Xiao Lu's new film is actually a good opportunity for him, and he can better prove himself in terms of acting skills.
"All right!"
"Just wear a fake hood!"
Just a second before Wu Di was about to change his mind and withdraw voluntarily, Director Xiao Long actually relented!
There's no way around it.
Since the director agreed to such an outrageous request, as an actor and an actor who has already agreed to star, Wu Di would not be able to withdraw temporarily.
Then all we can do is... catch the duck and put it on the shelves.
