After Shuai Hu was cast, the casting of deputy monitor Chang Gao also quickly began to appear.
The thing is, Kongwen and several other art troupes often invite each other to perform in their theaters. This is not only to let the actors of each troupe learn and communicate with each other, but also to "show off force" and "spy on the enemy's situation".
On this day, Kongwen happened to invite a team of Lu Wen's actors to perform a play at the Kongwen Art Center Theater. Zuo Le was bored about choosing actors at that time, so he was dragged by Gao Xinjian to the theater to watch the play to relax.
As a result, Zuo Lexin didn't have time to leave, so she fell in love with a Lu Wen actor who was performing on the stage.
It's a coincidence that Lu Wen's play has a character who is very similar to the deputy squad leader Lao Gao. He is suspicious of everything and speaks harshly, but he has no bad intentions and has a bit of a tragic and unlucky funny nature.
.
For such a complex role, ordinary experienced actors may not be able to handle it on the stage of a drama, but the actor Lu Wen performed extremely well on the stage.
Not only did he play this villainous character vividly and win the love of the audience, but he also used a supporting role with a small role to steal the glory of some of the leading actors.
Zuo Le watched with admiration in the audience, and was very moved at the same time. He couldn't help but ask Gao Xinjian if he knew this person.
Originally, Zuo Le didn't have too many illusions. After all, the two of them belonged to different units, and judging from the role played by the actor just now, it seemed that he didn't do well in Lu Wen. Guess his reputation hadn't spread to Kong Wen yet.
However, the result was beyond Zuo Le's expectation. Gao Xinjian really knew each other, and not only did they know each other, they were also friends.
Under Gao Xinjian's introduction, Zuo Le got to know the actor Lu Wen to a certain extent.
This person's name is Fan Min, who is a fellow villager with Zuo Le. He is from Lincheng, Dongshan. He is thirty-seven years old and is now an actor in Lu Wen's performance troupe. However, his status in the troupe is not high and he mostly plays supporting roles and villains.
Gao Xinjian and Fan Min met through a friend in Lu Wen. They were both in the same industry and both had good skills. They became familiar with each other as soon as they went back and forth. The two also participated in a TV series together, and of course, they were all supporting roles.
After listening to what Gao Xinjian said, Zuo Le nodded, but he was still a little confused.
In his opinion, Fan Min's acting skills are very high. He doesn't know about Lu Wen, but Kong Wen's actor Zuo Leke has been through the rounds recently. Let alone surpassing him, there are only a handful of actors who can match Fan Min.
.
Including the actors he had previously selected for "The Story of the Cooking Class", Zuo Le thought that only Hong Tao and Zhou Binbin could compete with Fan Min, and the head nurse Yan Ni would be almost the same no matter how hard she tried.
The rest of the people, including Gao Xinjian in front of him, were far behind Fan Min in Zuo Le's heart.
At this level, even if he cannot be a pillar in the regiment, he is at least worthy of being a general. How come he is so miserable in Lu Wen?
Zuo Le also stayed in Kongwen for a while, watched a lot of plays, and understood the importance of Fan Min's role in the play. Although it was a supporting role, it was only a little bit better than a supporting role.
If this was left as an empty script and let the backbones of the troupe like Gao Xinjian and Zhou Binbin perform it, they could throw the script directly in your face and spit out the fragrance if you have a bad temper.
the reason is simple
I can't afford to lose this guy!
Whether it is the entertainment industry or the literary and art industry, it is fundamentally about seniority and clear hierarchies. If you let a famous actor play such a role that is almost a minor one, it is almost the same as humiliation.
Of course, temporary backup for emergencies or an occasional friendly guest appearance are the other two.
However, Zuo Le just looked at Fan Min's familiarity with the character. Obviously, there is no such thing as a cameo to save the scene...
Is this interesting?
Is it possible that this is another scheme whereby good talents are brutally suppressed by the dark side?
…………
Zuo Le couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Gao Xinjian for answers.
Gao Xinjian never thought that Zuo Le would be able to analyze so many things just by watching Fan Min's performance. He was amazed that Zuo Le is indeed a well-known screenwriter in the industry. His ability to associate and dig out details is strong, but his imagination is a bit crooked...
…
Then he explained to Zuo Le the reason for Fan Min's current situation.
In fact, there is no dark suppression as Zuo Le guessed. Lu Wen is a serious official art troupe. Although it cannot be said to be completely impartial and selfless, it will not bully a young actor.
Fan Min's fate was partly due to bad luck, and the other half was due to his own fault.
It is true that as Zuo Le saw just now, Fan Min's acting skills are very high, but this was slowly honed by him later on. He is a late bloomer. In fact, in the early days of joining the group, Fan Min's acting skills were not really good.
, even the last one in the same period.
This also resulted in the fact that when Lu Wen promoted and trained Fan Min as an actor, Fan Min was not ranked at all, and all the good opportunities in the same period were snatched up.
After Fan Min's acting skills finally improved, the next batch of new actors began to join the troupe. Compared with the newcomers who are full of potential and highly malleable, Fan Min, an old man, will definitely have to step back.
Just like this, one after another, by the time Fan Min matured in acting, he was almost 40 years old.
However, for an actor, age is not a problem. The golden age is in the thirties and forties. Fan Min's own abilities are here, his qualifications are deep, and he has a good relationship with the boss, so he still has a great chance of getting ahead.
But it's a pity that Fan Min has a very bad temper. He has the aloofness of an old-school artist. He speaks straightforwardly and doesn't hide anything in his heart. He just says whatever comes to his mind.
It was impossible for him to bow down to the boss. When the boss came to talk to him, he would often get angry at his "frankness", and even if he had no intention of being reused, he would no longer care about him.
After all, it was Lu Wen's troupe. There were many good actors in the troupe. No matter how good Fan Min was, he was not in a position where he was the only one. Gradually, Fan Min was marginalized.
And Fan Min himself has been left out for so many years, maybe because he is used to it, and his motivation for improvement has faded. Anyway, he cannot be fired. It doesn't matter the size of the role, as long as he is paid, acting is not acting.
In this way, Fan Min became Lu Wen's "sweeping monk"-like character. He was obviously a superb actor, but he only did trivial chores until he was discovered by Zuo Le today.
…………
"Xinjian, what do you think about letting Fan Min play the role of deputy squad leader Gao?"
After inquiring about Fan Min's resume, Zuo Le became even more interested in him. If such a rough jade was unearthed by him, plus his former second uncle, Wu Yue, and Gao Mingliang, he would not be able to find a Bole in the circle.
The name.
Gao Xinjian didn't know what Zuo Le was thinking. He lowered his head and analyzed it carefully for a while, and couldn't help but nod.
"Not to mention, Fan Min is quite suitable for the role of Lao Gao. He is thin, has decent acting skills, and can speak dialects. Oh...why didn't I think of him before?"
Gao Xinjian shouted that he had made a mistake, but Zuo Le smiled and said: "Let's go to the backstage quickly before anyone runs away."
"What are you afraid of if he runs away? I know where he lives?"
Gao Xinjian spoke forcefully, but followed Zuo Le and accelerated his pace, heading straight to the backstage of the theater.
ps: After thinking about it, I deleted all the controversial plots in the previous two chapters and merged them into one chapter. I hope everyone knows.
