Chapter eight hundred and forty-ninth gain twenty pounds a month
Generally speaking, even if a good actor does not play the protagonist, even a glimpse in the play is enough to impress the audience. For example, Yu Hewei, who played the eternal monument in "The Sky of History", paraphrased the words of teacher Li Xuejian, "This guy is so bad. In my bones.”
This is also true for Yan Bingyan, who plays Zhou Shuzhen in "Borrowing a Gun".
He Xin actually didn't watch much of the Spring Festival Gala in his previous life, being a southerner. In the past, he only paid attention to Mr. Benshan's sketches. Later, Mr. Benshan stopped performing, so he didn't watch much of them, so he had no impression of Hao Jian and others.
The first time he met Shen Teng was when Shen Teng played the role of the "flirtatious" bar owner in the movie "The Flowers of the Heart" directed by Ning Hao. At that time, he thought this guy was very funny, and his kind of amusement was very funny. The different types of Xu Guangtou and Huang Bo impressed him deeply.
At this time, looking at the frightened Brother Teng, He Xin decided that he was the perfect candidate for Chen Xiaomeng. This face is naturally full of joy and has a powerful ability to attract fans. The only shortcoming is probably that A little thinner and a little more handsome.
"Brother Teng, have you read the script?"
"Uh, no. During the audition, Director He asked me to perform a hanging scene. When it was over, the rope broke or something. But Director He introduced me to the specific character, saying that he was a man without a house or a car. He has no girl, no looks, no job, and is a very failed character. He is roughly similar to the character in "The Count of Wulong Mountain" that I am currently playing, so I wanted to give it a try." Shen Teng stuttered.
After it was over, he still felt very uncomfortable and said: "Teacher He, you should call me Shen Teng. You see, we are not much different. You are such a big shot. I really don't dare to be. Uh, I'm still afraid. If someone hears you, hit me!"
In the end, this guy still exposed his funny nature!
"puff!"
He Xin couldn't help but laugh, especially his bitter look, which was more vivid than the Japanese actor in the original version.
"Okay, then my name will be Shen Teng. But don't call me Teacher He." He Xin said with a smile.
"Hey, isn't Teacher He your nickname?"
"Uh...you know all this?" He Xin couldn't help but be surprised.
The name Teacher He was originally called "Teacher He" by Xiaojiajiao Baixue inadvertently, but after it was called out later, few people knew that this was his nickname from the beginning. After all, teacher is the most common title in the circle, and he is the most common name in the circle. His achievements fully deserve this title.
Shen Teng grinned in amusement. This was just a clever trick on his part, and he quickly said: "He is an actor from my Happy Twist. The one who is partnering with me now is your old classmate from the Chinese Opera."
"Who is it?"
"Mary!"
"Mary is my classmate?"
He Xin was really surprised. Of course he knew Mary, Brother Teng's golden CP. But he didn't expect that she would be his classmate in the Chinese Opera?
Speaking of which, his career in Chinese opera was quite complicated. He first took a one-year advanced course, then two years of junior college classes, and then upgraded to a bachelor's degree, and then took two years of bachelor's degree, and then he graduated.
Nowadays, the classmates he has an impression of are mostly those in the undergraduate class and the advanced training class, as well as a few outstanding students in the junior college class. It’s not that he flatters the superiors and disdains the inferiors or has a high vision. It’s because his time in school is too short, and the advanced classes , there are a lot of people in junior college classes, it is impossible to recognize the dozen or twenty people in the undergraduate class. However, he really did not expect that the popular female star Mary in later generations was actually his classmate, which may have changed a lot from the later generations on the screen. Maybe, maybe he was so unknown when he was in school that he really didn’t have any impression.
Seeing He Xin's confused face, Brother Teng was very embarrassed, and at the same time he secretly mourned for his partner. Fortunately, he had already developed the ability to adapt to changes on the stage of the drama, and hurriedly said: "Mary, that's the one... eat
Xigua is very trouble-free. Oh, she is a classmate of your junior college class."
As he spoke, he pursed his lips in a gesture of buck teeth.
Having said that, He Xin seemed to have some impression, but at that time, the number 180 in the junior college class was mostly female, so his memory is very vague.
Of course, he also noticed the unnaturalness shown by Brother Teng, and pretended to suddenly realize: "Oh, it turns out that she is also having fun now! I'm really sorry, I missed too many classes when I was in a junior college class, so I basically just hung out.
Yes, I have almost never spoken to many classmates in the class."
Brother Teng was not as nervous as before. He gestured with his thumbs and said with a smile: "Mary is a very introverted person. Besides, you were already like this at that time. She probably didn't have the courage to talk to you. Oh, by the way.
…”
As he said that, he took out a few theater tickets from his pocket and handed them over with both hands: "Recently, Mary and I performed "The Count of Wulong Mountain" at the Haidian Theater, and the response was pretty good. You, Teacher Cheng Hao, and Ning
If the director is free, please give me some guidance."
"Oh, thank you! I heard that your drama is very popular right now and it's hard to get a ticket. When was it?"
Before Shen Teng came, He Xin inquired about him. Ning Hao actually didn't know him very well, he just knew him. He was probably only familiar with him, the assistant director He Qingfeng.
"Tonight, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you. If it's inconvenient, I can help you change." Brother Teng said hurriedly.
"Convenient, convenient, it's definitely convenient here. As for Haozi, you can give it to him yourself later." He Xin happily took two tickets.
Speaking of watching a play together, my wife will definitely like it.
"Teacher He, what about Director Ning?" Brother Teng ventured to ask again.
He was already ready for the second audition. Although He Xin's attitude was very enthusiastic, he still didn't know the director Ning Hao, so he still felt a little unsure.
"Oh, he has something to do for the time being. In this case, you can read the book first."
He Xin took the script of "The Crowd" from his desk and handed it to him.
"Teacher He, is this appropriate?"
Shen Teng looked shocked and didn't dare to pick it up. Although he hasn't acted in many film and television dramas, before the filming of a movie starts, the script is not just for people to read unless you have already confirmed that you want to star in the movie.
.
Or some big names have to read the script before deciding whether to accept the drama. Even if they don't accept it, they can't just leak the content of the drama casually. This is an unwritten rule in the industry, otherwise no one will dare to watch you in the future.
Script!
There are even some great directors who are trying to be mysterious. For the sake of so-called confidentiality, even during filming, the script is given to the actors piece by piece.
He Xin didn't show any concern at this time and said with a smile: "It's okay, let's see. At least so far, I think you are the best candidate."
"ah?"
We haven't even auditioned yet, so we decided like this? While Shen Teng was ecstatic, he suddenly felt a little worried about the consequences, fearing that this thing would not be reliable, and he didn't know what to do. After all, this was the first time for him to come into contact with a movie script.
It’s still the genius director Ning Hao, and the male lead is He Xin’s script.
He lowered his head and looked at the script that was handed to him. He subconsciously rubbed his hands on his clothes, and then took the script with trembling hands.
He didn't dare to open the script in his hand. He looked up at He Xin with an unnatural smile. It wasn't until he saw He Xin's smiling eyes full of encouragement that he held his breath and opened it. stand up.
While Shen Teng was reading the script, He Xin took the time to make a phone call to his wife. The dog on the phone called the child to cry, which was not ordinary.
"What's wrong? Why is Qijin crying so hard?" As soon as he heard his daughter's cry, he felt panic in his heart.
"It's okay, she always wants to scratch Zhuang Zhuang's fur. Zhuang Zhuang hasn't bathed for several days. I won't let her scratch it. As a result, she is not happy, and neither are the dogs. One cried and the other barked at me." Cheng Very irritated.
"Then... then you can catch her."
"How dirty! Hey, can you come back early today and take Zhuangzhuang and Chuanchuan to take a bath and kill the bacteria? Your precious daughter always wants to play with the dog now."
"Okay, I'll be back early in the afternoon." He Xin agreed hastily. As long as it involves his precious daughter, it is a big deal in his eyes now.
Then he said: "Oh, let's go to a drama together tonight."
"Drama? What kind of drama is it?" As expected, Cheng Hao said in surprise on the phone.
""The Count of Wulongshan", Happy Twist, is a comedy. I heard it is very popular recently."
"You just know, this drama is so popular! Feifei has gone to see it a long time ago. I heard that the ticket supply is very tight. How did you remember it today?" Cheng Hao was not only pleasantly surprised, but also quite surprised.
"Oh, there is an actor who is the star of this play. I think he is very suitable for Chen Xiaomeng. I just asked him to come over and get to know him, gave him a few tickets, and also checked it out by the way."
He Xin was worried and clicked on the video call function on his phone again, looking at his sobbing daughter and coaxing her. Video calls are still very rare these days. Fortunately, he and Cheng Hao are using the latest iPhone 4, plus Nowadays, the 3G network in Beijing is very complete, and the picture is very clear. Because he was worried about hurting the baby's fragile eyes, he did not dare to let his daughter look at the mobile phone screen more, and hung up the phone reluctantly.
Shen Teng looked at it very seriously. He couldn't help but smack his mouth when he saw the nervousness. He often made gestures with one hand, completely immersed in it.
Not long after, Ning Hao pushed the door in and his first sight fell on Shen Teng, who was reading the script.
"Yo, here we come!"
"Hello, Director Ning!" Shen Teng quickly stood up and said hello respectfully.
Ning Hao glanced at him, his eyes lingered on the script in his hand for a while, and he pressed his hand to signal him to continue. At the same time, he did not shy away at all, and directly said to He Xin: "How about it? Is it okay? He ?”
Hearing Ning Hao's obviously disgusted tone, Shen Teng, who was already quite worried, suddenly felt a little nervous. Although he was usually joking and joking, he was actually a bitch, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get into the first brother of Mahua.
He felt the enthusiasm from He Xin just now, but the reason why he was still unsure was because of Ning Hao's attitude. Last time he auditioned for the role of Xiao Dongbei in "The Golden Robbery", He Qingfeng said to him tactfully afterward: "Shen Teng, do you mind if I say you are old?"
Having said that, Shen Tengxin knew very well that Ning Hao must not have taken a liking to him, and besides, he did not perform well in the last audition. Fortunately, the film was not filmed in the end, which gave him some comfort, otherwise he would have been It seems even more unlucky to be selected but not photographed.
In fact, he didn't want to come to this audition, so as not to suffer another blow. Later, Allen from the same unit forced him to come with him. To be honest, he felt worse than the previous audition, but he never wanted to get it right.
That made him particularly surprised.
He just read the script and almost finished it. On the one hand, he had a new understanding of the role of Chen Xiaomeng. During the previous audition, the assistant director He Qingfeng told him that this was the role of the second male lead, but according to the content of the script,
This is not the second male lead. It is clearly a double male lead, right? The thought of having the opportunity to star in a double male lead movie with He Xin made his blood boil with excitement.
On the other hand, he really likes this role, because this role is really similar to Xie Xie in "The Count of Wulong Mountain" that he is currently playing. Both have no houses, no cars, no girls, no looks, and no jobs.
Chen Xiaomeng was so low-spirited that she failed and tried to commit suicide, but she accidentally exchanged identities with the "killer" Zhou Quan, and then a series of humorous stories happened.
Xie Xie in "The Count of Wulong Mountain" unexpectedly received a check for one million U.S. dollars on his thirtieth birthday. He was about to become a millionaire, and he daydreamed about his future wealth, but he met an unreliable person.
The bank manager and an even more unreliable group of robbers. Later, he was inexplicably mistaken for robbers and murderers. Everyone who knew the truth was killed one after another. He was wanted by the police and fled to Wulong Mountain to start his own redemption.
And a series of hilarious revenge plans...
He has been rehearsing and performing this play for nearly three months. It is no exaggeration to say that he can handle it with ease and is very familiar with it. At this time, he is completely confident that he can play the role of Chen Xiaomeng well.
But when he heard Ning Hao's disdainful tone, he was very unconvinced, and he didn't want to lose this opportunity. Just when he was about to stand up again and prepare to try hard, he saw He Xin seriously nodding towards Ning Hao and saying: "
I think it’s okay, just him, right?”
Although he had a consultative tone, his attitude was very firm.
Ning Hao curled his lips helplessly, turned around and glanced at Shen Teng, who had just stood up halfway with his butt sticking out, shook his head and said, "Since you're interested in him, let him be his choice."
If it were anyone else, even Mr. Han, Ning Hao probably wouldn't agree so readily. On the one hand, he lacks confidence. After all, the company's development has always been supported by He Xin. The only thing he rarely makes is the two "Crazy" series.
, he gets huge dividends every year, and the company's value is still rising. His current net worth has already exceeded hundreds of millions, and he feels ashamed.
Of course, what's more important is He Xin's accurate vision. No matter the projects or actors he's optimistic about, he never fails. Even Mr. Xu buys it. Why can't he buy it?
But Shen Teng didn't expect that He Xin could solve what he thought was a big deal with just one sentence. It turned out that Teacher He was the real god, and he almost worshiped the wrong temple. While he was overjoyed, he couldn't care less about Ning Hao's disgust.
Looking at it, he nodded and bowed: "Thank you, Teacher He, thank you, Director Ning!"
Seeing this guy's flattering look, Ning Hao couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and said with a straight face: "Don't be too happy too early. In the end, it still depends on your own performance. If it's still the same as the last audition,
The performance is definitely not good!”
"Understood! Understood! Director Ning, just look at it. I will definitely not let Teacher He or you down."
Shen Teng nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, and then quickly took out two other theater tickets from his pocket and handed them over with both hands: "Director Ning, these are the tickets for tonight's "The Count of Wulong Mountain". Please do you Reward your face."
Since Chen Xiaomeng's character is almost the same type as Xie Xie, he will try his best to show off his skills tonight no matter what, to reassure the two big guys in front of him.
"Tonight's..."
Ning Hao hesitated for a moment, thinking about what else he had to do today.
He Xindao: "Let's go together, I've already made an agreement with Cheng Hao."
"Uh, okay." Ning Hao reluctantly took the theater ticket.
Before leaving, he said to He Xin: "Then you can decide on the other roles together."
There was a bit of anger in his words, and He Xin knew that Haozi would be murmuring in his heart. After all, if he didn't know Shen Teng, he would have dismissed him long ago just based on his unbearable performance in the audition clips.
"Okay!" He Xin responded with a smile.
Watching Ning Hao go out, Shen Teng couldn't wait to say to He Xin: "Teacher He, thank you! Don't worry, I will never let you..."
Before he could finish his words of gratitude, He Xin waved his hand and interrupted: "I believe you have the strength. But you must also be mentally prepared. Your current appearance is definitely not good. You have to gain weight. Is there any problem? ?”
"No, no problem!" Shen Teng said hurriedly.
As an actor with a professional background, he always carries the dream of art in his heart, and he will not hesitate to dedicate himself to art, let alone just gain weight?
He hurriedly asked: "Teacher He, how much will it increase by approximately?"
"I gained three, uh... twenty pounds in one month."
He Xin looked at his slender waist. He originally wanted to say that thirty pounds would probably fit the greasy image of the 20 billion movie king in later generations, but thinking about it, it seemed unrealistic, so he temporarily changed his mind and lost ten pounds.
"good!"
Shen Tante was straightforward and his handsome face was full of determination.
