In the afternoon, Zuo Le and his second uncle went to visit his grandma at his uncle's house. They didn't leave until they had dinner with the old lady and wished her a happy birthday in advance.
The second uncle Yan Changying has always been with his adoptive mother. Seeing that his nephew kept saying good things for him in front of the adoptive mother and taking the responsibility on himself, most of the depression in the second uncle's heart also dissipated.
It's just acting, not really making me look like a traitor.
That little bastard Xiao Le is right. There are too many actors playing bad guys, but the audience doesn't regard them as real bad guys. He is... yes, dedicating himself to art.
Sensing that his second uncle's attitude had softened, Zuo Le was very happy and threw it at his second uncle for free, which made the old man gradually smile.
That night, Zuo Le came home and talked to his parents about asking his second uncle to act in a drama. Comrade Zuo had no reaction before Zhuang Cuicui expressed his approval.
"As for my second brother's face, it would be right to choose him to play the traitor. When I was a child, every time the projectionist came to the village to show "Tunnel War", the children in our village followed the movie to school, but your second uncle never had the turn to play the good guy.
He is either a traitor or a Japanese, and at the end of the day he is a traitor to our party, and he has not even betrayed any common people. Don’t worry, son, your second uncle has the most experience in playing the role of a traitor, so I can guarantee that he will be right."
Okay!
Zuo Le finally understood why his second uncle reacted so violently when he heard that he had asked him to play the role of a traitor.
What an evocative patriotism, the second uncle’s resistance to playing the role of a traitor is simply due to the shadow of his childhood!
The tall and mighty image of the second uncle was directly shattered.
The guilt in Zuo Le's heart disappeared all of a sudden, and he even felt a little regretful.
If I had known that my second uncle was so pretentious, I shouldn't have said such kind words to my grandma before...
But it was an annoyance, and Zuo Le was slightly relieved to hear that his second uncle was so "experienced".
After all, the second uncle is not a professional actor. Although the image is very suitable, it is still unknown whether he can succeed in the role of Captain Jia.
The second uncle has some experience in "performance". Although the children can't do a lot of housework, hiding their ears and stealing the bell can somewhat relieve Zuo Le's pressure.
…………
The next day, Zuo Le went to the supermarket and bookstore, bought two large bags of snacks and a set of practice questions for the high school entrance examination, and went to No. 82 Middle School to visit Miss Zuo.
When he saw his sister holding snacks and exercises with mixed expressions of joy and sorrow, Zuo Le praised his brotherly behavior.
Then he happily took Zuo Xiao to Kaifeng to improve the food at noon, and briefly visited No. 82 Middle School to reminisce about his lost youth.
Finally, Zuo Le took the specially confiscated answers to the exercises and waved goodbye to the expressionless Miss Zuo.
In the evening, Zuo Le bought some vegetables, cooked a meal for his parents himself, and invited the old man over. The family of five (played a video for Miss Zuo) had a reunion dinner with Meimei.
After Zuo Le returns to Quancheng this time, he will immediately prepare the crew, start filming, edit and release, promote and broadcast... After this series of things, it will be difficult for him to have free time a year ago, and even whether he will have time to return this year.
It’s hard to say anything about the New Year at home.
Therefore, Zuo Le cherishes the time he is spending with his family very much. Maybe the next time he wants to have a meal like this will be a few months or more than half a year later...
******
Next day, noon
Zuo Le dragged his second uncle, who was wearing a baggy suit, to the tenth floor of the Dongshan Radio and Television Building.
I heard from my colleagues that Lao Fang and Fatty Chen were called to a meeting by the leader at a certain bureau. Zuo Le did not disturb the two of them, but went to the crew's makeup artist Sister Yu and costumer Xiao Liu who had contacted them in advance to meet on stage.
Fatty Chen's office
Zuo Le poured a glass of water for his second uncle and asked him to sit on the sofa and wait for a while. Then he looked at the costumer Liu first.
"Xiao Liu, can you wear the clothes I called the day before yesterday and asked you to prepare them now?"
"Yes, Director Zuo, I specially found someone to work overtime to get it out. It's absolutely no problem."
Xiao Liu was a young man about the same age as Zuo Le. He straightened his head and when he heard Zuo Le's question, he immediately gave an affirmative answer.
"Very good. You will take my second uncle to the lounge next to you to change into clothes later. Sister Yu, have you read the drawing I sent you? Can you follow it?"
The makeup artist, Sister Yu, was in her thirties, chubby and wearing a floral skirt. She looked up and down at her second uncle Yan Changying, her eyes flashing with surprise and excitement.
It is a kind of instinctive excitement that comes from professionals after seeing an undeveloped jade...
"No problem. After Xiao Liu changes his clothes, I will put makeup on him right away. I have brought everything."
Xiao Liu took his ignorant second uncle to the lounge to change clothes, while Sister Yu stayed in the office, opened her cosmetic bag and picked through it. The light in her eyes made Zuo Le's molars tighten.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock..."
The cell phone in his hand rang. Zuo Le took a look, took the cell phone out of the office, found a corner, and answered the call. Fatty Chen's carefree voice suddenly came from the receiver.
"Brother, did you really bring Jia Gui here? Which true god conquered you?"
Zuo Le was not surprised at all that Fatty Chen could get the news so quickly. This guy was well-known as a spy in the entire Dongshan Station, not to mention the TV Production Center, Fatty Chen's home base. Any trouble would never escape his ears.
.
"It's my second uncle. I specially invited him back to my hometown."
"Oh, it turns out... Ahem, what are you talking about? Your second uncle? Which second uncle? I didn't hear that you have a second uncle who is an actor?"
Fatty Chen, who was smoking in the bathroom, was almost choked by Zuo Le's words, but Zuo Le on the other end of the phone showed a playful smile.
"My second uncle is not an actor. His family runs a dry cleaning shop. Forget it, I can't tell you on the phone. We are in your office now. You will know when you come back."
After saying that, Zuo Le hung up the phone directly. Fatty Chen held the phone in his hand and said "hey, hey" several times before putting down the phone with a sad face.
"Isn't this nonsense? When will a dry cleaning shop owner be able to be an actor? No, I have to go back and have a look. I can't let this kid Zuo Le do anything nonsense."
Fatty Chen left the bathroom and sneaked back to the venue quietly. He wanted to say hello to Lao Fang and then ducked back to the stage.
However, when Fang Weimin learned about Zuo Le's "astonishing move", he couldn't sit still. Seeing that the meeting was almost at the end, Lao Fang's heart moved and he packed his things and was about to "meet" with Fatty Chen.
The two relied on Fatty Chen's skilled running skills to successfully leave the venue and drove straight to the Dongshan Radio and Television Station building.
…………
On the way, Fang Weimin also called Zuo Le. Unexpectedly, Zuo Le, who wanted to give Fatty Chen a surprise, had already turned off his phone, making Lao Fang very angry.
He plays the role of Shi Qingshan in the play and has played quite a lot with Jia Gui. Knowing the importance of Captain Jia in the play, he can be said to have taken on half of the jokes in the play.
For such an important role to be played by a non-professional relative, Zuo Le is simply playing the piano randomly!
Director Fang, who had a gloomy face all the way back to the Dongshan Radio and Television Building, took the elevator to the tenth floor and asked someone to find out where Zuo Le was.
Ignoring Fatty Chen's dissuasion, he angrily kicked open the door of Fatty Chen's office. Before he could get angry, Lao Fang saw his second uncle Yan Changying who had put on makeup.
He has a skinny build, sparse hair parted in the middle, small slanted eyes, a mustache, and a large green traitor uniform that is worn loosely on his body. He holds a folding fan in his right hand and a pistol slung across his shoulder.
Harvest the aura of heaven and earth, gather the essence of the sun and moon!
It’s a rare sight in a hundred years, and it’s hard to find one in ten thousand people!
Lao Fang was convinced, and all his dissatisfaction disappeared after seeing his second uncle setting the makeup. He gave Zuo Le a thumbs up with admiration on his face.
"Xiao Zuo, my family has a long history, my family has a long history."
Zuo Le: “…”
Why do you sound like you are scolding me?
But no matter what, as long as the leader is satisfied!
Zuo Le took his second uncle and introduced Fang Weimin and Fatty Chen to each other. The second uncle learned that the handsome old man in front of him, who was very different from himself in appearance, was his nephew's immediate boss, so he was very polite.
Perhaps Director Fang was intimidated by his second uncle's respectable appearance, and he also respected his second uncle.
After a friendly exchange of greetings, the two parties got down to business. Zuo Le randomly selected a few scenes of Jia Gui from the script and directed his second uncle to try out the scene in front of everyone.
At first, the second uncle was still a little nervous, but with the constant encouragement of his nephew Zuo Le, he gradually relaxed and started acting in a decent manner.
[You bullied me before the imperial army came, and you still bullied me after the imperial army came. Then wasn’t the imperial army here in vain? 】
[What kind of bull is it? How many days have you been a traitor? 】
[I covered my head with one hand and my butt with the other. I lay on the ground and fucked him]
[Surnamed Sun, don’t think that you are great because the Eighth Route Army said you are a traitor. You are far worse than me]
【Master Ba, please spare my life】
………
I have to say that many of the lines in "Underground Traffic Station" are indeed classic and full of laughter.
The second uncle just performed a few simple parts, and the office was filled with cheerful laughter. Even the second uncle couldn't help but laugh several times.
At the same time, everyone was also surprised to find that although the second uncle's acting skills were a bit immature, it may be that the image halo effect was so good that the second uncle played Captain Jia with full aura and surprise.
Director Fang, a former professional actor, concluded that if the second uncle made the effort to conduct surprise training for a period of time, the role of Jia Gui would definitely become one of the biggest highlights of the TV series "Underground Traffic Station".
Director Fang personally spoke, and it was officially confirmed that the second uncle would appear.
Fatty Chen immediately went to the printing room to copy two contracts and signed the contract directly with his second uncle. In addition, as a producer, he raised his second uncle's salary from 50,000 to 80,000.
Seeing the words "eighty thousand yuan" on the contract, the smile on the thin face of the second uncle was particularly sincere, and he signed his name with two swipes.
