Jiangbei was very surprised by Xu Hanzhou's arrival, especially after Xu Hanzhou explained his purpose of coming. It stimulated his old heart, and he almost couldn't breathe and died on the spot.
"I came here to audition for the leading actor role in the drama "Love Before Dawn". I hope Director Jiang and Ms. Youyou can give me a chance."
Yes.
Xu Hanzhou is actually going to audition for the male lead role in "Love Before Dawn"!
What kind of magical operation is this?
How can anyone take on two rival dramas at the same time?
It’s just a joke!
However, Xu Hanzhou immediately gave another explanation.
"I have terminated my contract with the crew of "Love in Dilemma"," Xu Hanzhou replied with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
It was not easy for him to make this decision, but as a person who knows how to repay his kindness, Xu Hanzhou knew the current situation of his benefactor (Jiangbei) and understood that his benefactor was in urgent need of an actor with acting skills and a good reputation to help him in times of need, so he
Without any hesitation, she terminated her contract with the crew of "Love in Dilemma" and auditioned for the male lead in "Before Dawn".
Ordered in times of crisis.
"Really?" Li Youqing was overjoyed and couldn't believe it the first time he heard this.
Xiao Nizi didn't know much about what happened between Xu Hanzhou and Jiang Bei. She was obviously very surprised that Xu Hanzhou had terminated his contract with the crew of "Love in Dilemma" and came to audition for the crew of "Love Before Dawn".
Of course, there are more surprises.
Because Xu Hanzhou's acting skills and fame are recognized by the entire Chinese entertainment industry, although the age difference between him and the male protagonist in the play is a bit big, it can be completely compensated for by makeup skills, so it is not a problem at all.
Xu Hanzhou nodded heavily, looked at Jiang Bei and Li Youqing and said sincerely: "Please give me this opportunity, Mr. Jiang and Miss Youyouqing."
"Definitely..." Li Youqing almost blurted out in excitement, but immediately realized that her husband was the final decision-maker, so she suppressed her words and turned to look at Jiangbei expectantly.
In her opinion, Jiangbei really has no reason to refuse Xu Hanzhou's joining, and this matter can be facilitated 100%.
Oh.
There is really no reason to refuse.
But what the hell is this called?
Why would the good Xu Hanzhou terminate his contract with "Love in Dilemma" and come to support the crew of "Love Before Dawn"!
What went wrong with the entire planning process!
But he couldn't ask all this on the spot, so he could only choose to keep it in his heart.
But holding it in my heart makes me panic.
It felt uncomfortable when I was blocked, and I started coughing without taking my last breath.
"Beibei, you don't have to be so excited, drink some water quickly." Li Youqing patted his back, picked up the water on the coffee table and handed it over, and asked with concern.
"That's really exciting." Liangliang joked happily from the side.
"Haha~~" Xu Hanzhou looked around, scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly.
Only Jiangbei silently took the water glass and drank, while looking through the glass at Anseong Gambling King, who was leaning on the back of the sofa and relaxing.
There is absolutely something wrong with this stupid Zhang Jiuliang.
"Strange, why do I feel like there is a murderous aura?" Liangliang felt this strange aura and looked around with a confused look on his face.
Jiangbei put down the water glass, turned his mind away from Ancheng Gambling King, looked at Xu Hanzhou and asked calmly: "Why did you come to audition for the drama "Love Before Dawn"? I don't care how you ended up with "Love in Dilemma"
The crew has terminated the contract, but you should know that we are currently in conflict with Columbus Film and Television. By doing so, you will undoubtedly put yourself in danger and take the initiative to provoke the hatred of Columbus Film and Television. Aren't you afraid of being banned for the second time?"
Xu Hanzhou is not a young man. He is already in his forties and has experienced ups and downs. Logically speaking, he cannot be so impulsive. Therefore, there must be a reason for him to take such a big risk and make such a choice again.
After hearing this, Xu Hanzhou thought for a while and replied: "To be honest, there is no special reason. If there is one, it is that I firmly believe that Mr. Jiang's movie will be successful. And I am a more realistic person.
People, so it’s naturally easy to choose between the two.”
This reason is really vague.
But if you think about it carefully, none of Jiangbei's scripts or films he has directed so far has been a failure. In particular, the first film he directed, "This Man from the Blue Star," set a record for the highest return rate in the world.
Record.
So there seems to be nothing wrong with saying that.
Jiang Bei knew that the reason was not here, but he couldn't say much because Li Youqing was watching. He could only continue to ask: "You can audition, but the budget of our movie is relatively low, so there may be no way.
..."
"I'm willing to star for zero pay." Before he finished speaking, Xu Hanzhou answered the question directly.
"I'm so sorry, I still have to pay the dues." Li Youqing was very happy to hear that Xu Hanzhou was willing to play the leading role for zero pay, and quickly interrupted and replied.
Xu Hanzhou insisted: "Mr. Jiang has given me a good stage, and I hope to do my best to repay him, so I am really willing to take no penny in terms of remuneration."
Jiang Bei twitched his lips.
I don’t know what happened to this damn Xu Hanzhou today. He suddenly acted like a licking dog. I don’t think he was like this before!
What about the integrity of being an actor?
"You are a bit old, and the male lead in the crew is a young man. Do you think you are qualified?"
Since Jiangbei couldn't find a solution based on money, Jiangbei could only find trouble from the perspective of the entire drama.
"I just hope Mr. Jiang will give me a chance to audition." Xu Hanzhou did not back down because of his age, but still insisted on a chance to audition.
Jiangbei fell into silence.
Seeing this, Li Youqing quietly grabbed his hand and said softly: "Beibei..."
"Okay, let's audition first."
Jiangbei had no choice but to agree.
The audition process was very simple, and there was no need to wait too much. Li Youqing went to get the script and handed it to Xu Hanzhou, who needed half an hour to understand it.
Obviously, the tight time limit makes the audition more urgent, because the success of the audition means whether the film can be restarted again.
So both Li Youqing and Xu Hanzhou were very concerned about it.
Jiang Bei was the only one who was not happy. He saw the excited Li Youqing pulling Zhang Jiuliang to go out to buy groceries and leaving Xu Hanzhou to eat at home. He said, "Why don't you go shopping alone and let Liang Liang clean the room?"
.”
There were many things he wanted to ask Zhang Jiuliang about now, but he didn't have a chance to be alone, so he wanted to secretly ask why while buying groceries.
"You can help clean the room later. I want Liangliang to cook tonight because I haven't eaten Liangliang for a long time." Li Youqing shook his head and directly rejected the proposal, dragging Liangliang and leaving the house.
There were only two grown men left in the living room, Jiang Bei and Xu Hanzhou.
There was no awkward atmosphere at all.
Xu Hanzhou focused all his attention on studying the script and basically ignored the existence of Jiangbei.
Jiang Bei was bored sitting on the sofa. He glanced at Xu Hanzhou from time to time and opened his mouth several times to say something, but in the end he held it back.
to be honest.
He did not have much interaction with Xu Hanzhou, and Xu Hanzhou was not a member of the organization, so there was no way to explain many things in detail.
well!
Forget it, forget it.
Jiang Bei shook his head, got up and went to clean the room.
——
At the other end, Li Youqing and Liang Liang walked outside the community. The sister-in-law and her sister-in-law lowered their heads and whispered to each other, each still holding their mobile phone in their hands.
"Li Youqing, can you be a human being? Why do you insist on missing a zero every time you transfer money?"
"Why am I missing a zero? What I transferred was obviously 10,000 yuan?"
"I don't blame you for your math teacher dying early, but couldn't you hear the voice reminder?"
"The voice was too quiet just now and I didn't hear it."
"If you do this, we won't be able to cooperate. Do you know how much effort it took me to get Xu Hanzhou and Mu Feibai to terminate their contract and come over? The mission funds alone cost me thousands, and the personal connections also consumed a lot.
,How could you do this?"
Faced with Li Youqing's habitual manipulation, Zhang Jiuliang finally couldn't hold back and began to protest.
"Okay, then you return the money to me and I will transfer it to you again." Li Youqing thought about it and thought it made sense, so he simply transferred it again.
"Alipay has received 10,000 yuan."
That's right this time.
Liangliang looked at the transfer record and smiled with her lips curling back into a grin.
Another piece of hard-earned wealth!
"I don't know if you have felt it, but Beibei seems reluctant to let Xu Hanzhou be the leading actor in "Love Before Dawn." After completing the transfer, Li Youqing put away the phone and fell into thinking again.
Liang Liang curled her lips when she heard this. Of course she knew why her brother didn't want Xu Hanzhou to be the leading actor in "Love Before Dawn", but she couldn't tell her sister-in-law these words, so the words that came out of her mouth became: "Maybe my brother thinks
Xu Hanzhou is probably older and doesn’t quite meet the standards of a leading actor.”
"Xu Hanzhou is only in his forties, and many men now wear makeup in their forties as if they were in their twenties. I think your brother must not be for this reason, there must be other considerations." Li Youqing shook his head and said.
After her own analysis, a woman's sixth sense told her that things were not that simple.
It's a pity that Liangliang didn't answer, because she had already started to log in to the mahjong software to play mahjong.
It's good to have money, you can buy two yuan for one cent.
You can still give it a try tomorrow, whether you can make it back depends on this time.
Li Youqing glanced at her. She had long been accustomed to Liang Liang's behavior, so she didn't say anything. She continued to ask the question just now and said: "In addition, I think Beibei openly responded to the director who bet on himself this time.
There are also some problems in his career. In fact, if it were three years ago, I would even have reason to suspect that he was deliberately looking for a reason to quit the entertainment industry."
I have to say that Li Youqing's statement makes sense, because everything Jiangbei does is moving in the same direction.
It's a pity that in her mind Jiang Bei has now been appeased and has become the spiritual support to support her in the entertainment industry, so these words are just said casually.
But Liangliang, who was concentrating on playing mahjong, was stunned after hearing this, and subconsciously replied: "You guessed it right."
"Huh?" Li Youqing raised his voice, looking suspicious.
"Yeah! I guessed it right. I have three nine tubes in my hand!" Zhang Jiuliang reacted very quickly, slapping his thigh and saying with annoyance on his face.
At this time, the two of them had walked out of the community and arrived at the entrance of the supermarket. At this time, there were still some people in the supermarket. Li Youqing pulled out a cart and took Zhang Jiuliang towards the fruit and vegetable area, while asking meaningfully: "Liangliang, are you there?"
Do you know something?"
"What do I know?" Liangliang replied blankly while playing mahjong.
"We are partners now, do you really want to hide everything from me?" Li Youqing stopped at the potato bar, picked up the bag and started picking potatoes, and asked.
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Liangliang replied, shaking her little head.
Li Youqing smiled lightly, picked up a potato, looked at it from left to right, and said jokingly: "Say, I will tell your brother that you brought Xu Hanzhou here to be the leading actor when you go back later. How do you think he will react?"
"
"Li Youqing! How can you be such a bitch!" Zhang Jiuliang said with extreme dissatisfaction.
She didn't tell her brother about her secret cooperation with Li Youqing, and of course she didn't reveal some of his plans. She just wanted to be a wallflower and get some benefits between the two.
For example, in the case of Xu Hanzhou, she first promised her brother to get Xu Hanzhou into the crew of "Love in Dilemma", and then helped Li Youqing find a new male lead candidate at the critical moment, thus gaining some benefits.
There is a professional term for this practice in casinos: take it all.
But I never thought that gamblers would turn against each other now. How can this be done?
"Then I don't care. If you don't tell me clearly about this matter, I will tell your brother about your cooperation with me." Li Youqing said with a proud look on his face.
She is not stupid, how could she not know that there is an ulterior secret between Liangliang and Jiangbei, and it is even extremely possible that the two are allies. However, she firmly believes that Jiangbei does not know about her cooperation with Liangliang, that is to say
Liangliang is currently a Mission Impossible spy, working undercover on both ends.
This kind of person seems to be a good food, but the risk factor is also very high, and it is easy to be caught.
Just like now.
Liangliang fell into silence when she heard this, but the situation on the phone did not end. Unfortunately, she was not very lucky this time. He used tricks and bombs, and directly blew her up by dozens of points, and nearly a hundred yuan was gone out like this.
After finishing the game, Liangliang did not continue to start. Instead, he exited the interface and put his phone in his pocket. He rolled his eyes, spread his hands, sighed and replied, "Okay, what do you want to know."
"Does your brother want to use this incident to quit the entertainment industry?"
