Chapter 67 The director serves as the male protagonist
The grocery shopping was really slow, so much so that Jiang Bei felt like he didn't know what to do when he stayed at home.
The clock was ticking, and it seemed that the clock had already run past one o'clock. Li Youqing and Liang Liang then went home with big and small bags. At this time, Xu Hanzhou had already read the script and was waiting for Li Youqing to come back and start the audition.
Woolen cloth.
But maybe it was because it was time for dinner. After returning, Li Youqing did not ask for an audition immediately. Instead, she asked Jiang Bei to greet Xu Hanzhou, and then she took Liang Liang and ran into the kitchen to cook.
It’s a bit strange!
Jiang Bei looked at his sister-in-law and sister-in-law who were walking into the kitchen, stroking his chin and thinking.
What's going on?
Suddenly you don’t seem to be interested in these anymore?
As the producer and wife Li Youqing didn't speak up, Jiangbei naturally couldn't audition Xu Hanzhou alone, because even if he auditioned Xu Hanzhou alone and gave a negative answer, Li Youqing would definitely ask for a new audition and watch it in person.
Now that he knew the result, he simply didn't bother to audition Xu Hanzhou alone, and the two of them started chatting about each other.
Dinner was quickly prepared. Jiangbei warmly invited Xu Hanzhou to take a seat. The guests gathered together and had a sumptuous dinner.
I have to say that Liangliang's cooking skills are absolutely outstanding, even compared to Jiangbei. Xu Hanzhou was full of praise for the food. However, the gambling king of Anseong is obviously not proud of his superb cooking skills. He praised him for three words and then took it again.
He said his famous saying: "My cooking skills are not as good as one ten thousandth of my gambling skills".
Unfortunately, basically no one believes this statement anymore, even Xu Hanzhou.
After all, he had once seen the gambling skills of Anseong's gambling king on the set of "This Man Comes from the Blue Star".
Uh~~~
Anyway, everyone was quite full during that time.
After dinner, the audition process inevitably began.
Xu Hanzhou, who had been prepared for a long time, began to perform the role of the leading actor according to the requirements in front of the three interviewers Jiangbei, Li Youqing, and Zhang Jiuliang.
However, since there was no one to play with, this performance was a great test for the actor's acting skills. Fortunately, Xu Hanzhou is the best actor in the movie after all, so he is still able to handle it in terms of experience, and his performance was not affected by the lack of anyone to play with him.
I auditioned for two scenes in a row, and Xu Hanzhou completed them perfectly. Both his facial expressions and his line skills were very solid. It can be said to be a classic case in auditions.
But both Jiangbei and Li Youqing couldn't help but fall into deep thought after watching these two scenes.
"Is there any problem?" Xu Hanzhou keenly noticed the problem and asked hesitantly.
What's the problem?
There are definitely problems.
Jiang Bei thought for a while and said: "Can you imitate the expressions of the hero and heroine in the audition room? Liangliang, go and do a favor and play the heroine."
"oh!"
Liang Liang obediently stood up and walked up to Xu Hanzhou. As a veteran who works in the crew every day, she knew how to act in this scene even if she hadn't read the script.
There is no way, who made this drama stuck on the set for a long time.
Xu Hanzhou also knew about this scene and knew that everything that was happening now stemmed from this scene, so he immediately cheered up and took a deep breath with his eyes closed to get into the state faster.
At this time, Li Youqing took out his mobile phone and slowly played the lyrical music played in the listening room, and the atmosphere in the living room gradually filled the air.
"start!"
Following Jiangbei's order, Xu Hanzhou opened his eyes and began to perform with Liangliang.
This is a scene with no lines and relies only on expressions and expressions.
Likewise, this plot can be said to be of the highest quality in the entire movie.
Its high quality does not lie in the lines or special effects, but in the shyness and ignorance of the male and female protagonists.
Xu Hanzhou is the best actor. He has superb acting skills and experience. But there are some things that just acting skills and experience are not enough, just like when a grandma in her seventies is asked to play a twenty-year-old girl.
Spirituality is destined to be impossible to imitate.
So even though Xu Hanzhou tried his best to recall the years of his youth and the shyness he felt when he had an ignorant crush on the first person of the opposite sex, he still couldn't perfectly integrate into it and let himself go back to that age.
Naturally, he failed.
"I'm really sorry."
The moment the performance was over, Xu Hanzhou realized his problem and said with guilt.
"It seems you also know the problem." Jiang Bei replied with a smile.
He must be happy that Xu Hanzhou is not suitable for this drama. In this way, the entire drama can only be shot with new actors. It will obviously be much easier to control a new actor without acting skills than to control a movie star.
"I thought I could do it." Xu Hanzhou said with a bitter smile.
As a professional actor, especially when he returned to the entertainment industry after being banned for eight years, Xu Hanzhou believed that his acting skills should be able to handle any role after being polished. But he never expected that sometimes experience would become a constraint for him.
, making it impossible for him to return to his original innocence, so naturally he was unable to perform the initial shyness and ignorance between men and women.
Jiangbei smiled, looked at Li Youqing next to him, and asked, "What do the producers think?"
In fact, the overall situation has been decided, and what needs to be seen now is Li Youqing's attitude.
However, it turns out that Xu Hanzhou is indeed not suitable for this role. Jiangbei also believed that Li Youqing would not force Xu Hanzhou to be the leading actor, so his tone was somewhat relaxed when he asked.
"I also agree with the director's view. Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry this time." Xiao Nizi really didn't insist anymore. She stood up and said to Xu Hanzhou apologetically.
A sudden crisis was solved in this way, at least for Jiangbei.
Xu Hanzhou left.
Although he did not win the leading role in "Before Dawn", it did not prevent him from accepting other scripts. In fact, except for some regrets that he could not participate in the film directed by Jiang Bei, Xu Hanzhou did not regret that he and "Before Dawn"
The cast of "Love in Dilemma" has terminated its contract.
At least he doesn't have to fight for others with his own organization now, right?
easy.
Comfortable.
Of course, not only Xu Hanzhou is relaxed, but also Jiang Bei. At this moment, he is happily taking a shower in the bathroom. He is in a happy mood and is ready to have a big fight tonight.
Wash it clean.
Apply fragrance.
After finishing the operation, he put on his pajamas and came out. He was met by Li Youqing with a smile.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Bei happily wiped his wet hair and asked.
Xiao Nizi didn't say anything, but came over, took his hand and dragged him to the sofa. Then she said with a smile: "Beibei, let's discuss something!"
"What's going on?" Jiang Bei felt a little strange.
Logically speaking, the fact that Xu Hanzhou is not suitable to play the leading role is not very good news for Li Youqing. Since it is bad news, he will definitely not be in a good mood, so how can he suddenly smile?
"It's about the movie's leading actor!" Li Youqing sat down next to him and said with a smile.
"Do you still have someone to choose?" Jiang Bei asked with a frown.
Now the entire entertainment industry has basically searched for qualified actors, and the rest have declined to participate in the battle between the two movies. Logically speaking, Xu Hanzhou is already the last one, so why are there still others?
"Yes!" Li You replied crisply.
"Who?" Jiang Bei asked in a serious tone, and he was already mentally prepared to deal with the actor.
"It's you!"
"Me?" Jiang Bei was stunned, then shook his head: "Don't be kidding, I can't act, I'm probably worse than those new actors. And this character must be younger to have that ignorant and shy feeling. I am now
We are already married, so how can we perform that feeling?"
It's one thing not to be able to act, but the other thing is that he is actually the same as Xu Hanzhou. Although he is less than thirty years old, he has experienced more things in two lives than Xu Hanzhou. How can he act like that young and ignorant person?
Feel?
Obviously it's not possible.
Since he can't, naturally he is just as incapable of playing the leading role as Xu Hanzhou.
"You're not very old to begin with, are you!" Li Youqing pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "And in my opinion, this character is still a bit of a slippery man who has been mixed up in society. You can see that he does the same thing when flirting with the heroine.
How do you look like a boy who doesn't understand anything?"
"Even if you don't understand anything, you are not a married man like me!" Jiang Bei retorted.
Married and not married are two different concepts, and your thoughts will change a lot, and it is almost impossible to make that kind of expression.
"No! You have to act!" Seeing that he refused to agree, Li Youqing got angry and demanded strongly.
Seeing that his wife was angry, Jiang Bei couldn't continue the argument, so he just expressed it in a different way: "Then what if my acting sucks?"
"It doesn't matter, I admit that your acting is terrible." Li Youqing said seriously.
"Really?" Jiang Bei looked suspicious. He felt that Li Youqing was a little abnormal.
"Really." Li Youqing nodded.
Seeing Xiao Nizi's determined appearance and attitude, the old man fell into silence.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. What is going on here?
He couldn't think clearly.
But Li Youqing's persistence continued.
Xiao Nizi changed her previous attitude of being responsible for the quality of the film and strongly asked him to play the leading role in the film. At the same time, she reorganized the crew and quickly put the entire crew back into a state of being ready to start filming at any time.
In fact, this matter is not a bad thing for Jiangbei, because if the director and the leading actor are both himself, it will be easier to control the quality of the movie, and no one will argue with him about acting.
aspects of things.
This is equivalent to a single statement, even more effective than a single statement.
But Li Youqing's behavior made him feel very strange.
Confused, Jiang Bei secretly approached Zhang Jiuliang and asked about the reason.
"What could be the reason? It's just that my sister-in-law doesn't like those newcomers, so she wants you to participate in the show. After all, you are the script and director, and your understanding of the role is not comparable to that of the newcomers.
"Liang Liang waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"Then is it possible that she thought my movie would be a hit, and then deliberately asked me to play the leading role to further increase my popularity?" Jiang Bei analyzed while touching his chin.
His analysis is not unreasonable. Ever since Erjing Film and Television hid Li Youqing, Xiao Nizi has been trying her best to hope that he would enter the entertainment industry and pave the way for her. After the contract with Erjing Film and Television ended, Xiao Nizi
He can quickly regain his reputation with the help of the resources he has acquired in recent years.
This is something everyone in the family knows very well, and Li Youqing has expressed his thoughts several times, so it is really possible.
"But brother, aren't you going to make a bad movie? So this movie is destined to not be popular. Since it's not going to be popular, brother, why do you have to worry about it all the time?" Liangliang's words hit the depths of his soul and made him
Jiangbei's whole person suddenly became enlightened.
yes!
Anyway, this matter is not harmful to me. Anyway, this movie is destined to be a bad movie, so why should I wonder what Li Youqing's inner thoughts are?
With a bet in hand, as long as the movie is finished and lost to Mu Feibai and the others, wouldn't he be able to successfully quit the entertainment industry?
After thinking about this, Jiangbei stopped thinking about these things and chose to agree to Li Youqing to take over the role of the leading actor in the movie, switching from self-writing and directing to self-writing, directing and acting in a triathlon.
After this news spread, it inevitably aroused heated discussions among netizens.
"Oh my god! Jiangbei actually wants to take the lead. Can he really do it?"
"I remember Mr. Jiang has never acted before, right? This is such a pink and tender newcomer!"
"It feels a bit hasty. After all, this movie is going to compete with Columbus Film and Television. If it loses, Jiangbei will quit the entertainment industry."
"I don't know what Jiangbei thinks."
Since Jiang Bei has never had any acting experience, most netizens were not very optimistic about his role as the leading actor after the news spread. Weibo even launched a voting topic, with one person and one vote to decide whether Jiang Bei can succeed.
He took on the leading role alone and served as the male lead in "Love Before Dawn".
The results of the voting were naturally one-sided. The turnout rate of more than 95% showed the attitude of netizens, who all believed that Jiangbei could not take the lead alone.
But no one expected that just when everyone was not optimistic about Jiang Bei's solo role as the leading actor in the movie, Columbus Film and Television and the crew of "Love in Dilemma" suddenly jointly issued a statement.
The statement condemned Xu Hanzhou for breaking his contract without authorization and quit playing the male lead role in "Love in Dilemma", and claimed that he would negotiate with Erjing Film and Television to request Erjing Film and Television to ban Xu Hanzhou.
In addition, the statement also stated that the latest male lead in "Love in Dilemma" will be director Mu Feibai.
"You two are really interesting. First, the leading actor of "Before Dawn" announced his strike, and then the leading actor of "Love in Dilemma" broke the contract without authorization. Does this mean that he was just busy working in vain before?"
"I wonder how you two know how to get the male lead? You can also steal the heroine!"
"Didn't you find something more interesting? It seems that the male protagonists of the two movies ended up being the directors!"
"Sure enough, they have staked their entire careers, and both directors are planning to end it themselves."
"It's called taking it seriously."
"I'm really looking forward to the release of the two movies."
