"Yeah, I thought you'll arrive tomorrow."

When Wang Dalun pushed the door open and went in, Zhao Baogang was lying at the desk and looking at a thick stack of scripts. He was stunned when he saw him coming in.

“Here last night.”

He walked to the sofa and sat down, took out an envelope from his pocket and put it on the coffee table.

"What?"

Zhao Baogang came over, picked up the envelope and saw a stack of money inside, "What does it mean?"

"A few days ago, I went to Datong to help Lao Jia play a few guest scenes. I was originally going to help, but yesterday I forced me to give me 10,000 yuan before leaving. According to the rules, I had to pay 20% to the company, a total of 2,000. I didn't see an accountant outside just now, please dig it."

"Hey, are you here today? Why are you still so angry? Is it still a commission for your friends? Put it away!" Zhao Baogang threw the envelope into his arms.

"Brother Bao, rules are rules."

He still put the envelope on the coffee table and said, "Although my company has no contract, the rules cannot be broken."

Zhao Baogang was a little amused and shook his head and said, "Then let it go. Oh, the accountant is not here? Maybe I'll go to the bank. When she comes back, I'll pay for your two movies by the way."

"The pay for the movie "Zhou Yu's Train" has also arrived?"

Wang Dalun was immediately happy when he heard this. He agreed to invest in a small wooden house and B&B at home, and was waiting for the rice to be put into the pot.

"Sunzhou is a cheerful person, he arrived last week." Zhao Baogang smiled.

While talking, Wang Dalun quickly got up and helped him get the kettle to the water dispenser and fill it with water, then put it on the induction cooker to heat it.

"Honglei just left, if you came early, you would have met it ten minutes ago." Zhao Baogang said.

"Is that so, what has he been busy with recently?"

Due to his appearance, King Yan's star journey has been quite bumpy. In addition, "Behind the Glitter" has just been completed and has not been broadcasted in the later stage. King Yan is still just the "Little Jiang Wen" of Qingyi, mainly active on the drama stage.

"What else can I do? Just perform a drama in the group!"

The water boiled. Zhao Baogang burned the cups and teapots in the sea of ​​tea one by one, then took out a thick piece of tea cake from under the tea table, carefully knocked off one piece, put it in the teapot, brewed, poured it out the first time, and then soaked it the second time.

While making tea, he said worriedly: "To be honest, Honglei's acting skills are really good, but with this look... tsk, it's really difficult! I feel embarrassed even when he comes to the company today."

There are only two male actors signed by the company, one is him and the other is Sun Honglei. Now he has constant film contracts, and Sun Honglei is still living in the group to perform dramas. Anyone will have ideas in his mind.

Although the two male actors in the company are just competitive. But Wang Dalun made his debut early, had better luck, and looked a little more handsome than Sun Honglei. In fact, no matter what era, it is a society that looks at faces. For example, his college classmate Cheng Chuang is one of the best among all students in terms of acting skills, but because of his sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks and a mouse appearance, he is still playing supporting roles for so many years after graduation, and is not as good as Sun Honglei.

Therefore, no matter where you are in the market, your appearance is very important. The Ming Dynasty also stipulated that officials must have a positive facial features. If they have a small eyes like Sun Honglei lived in the Ming Dynasty, even if they passed the Jinshi, they would probably not be able to become a Beijing official. It would be indecent before the emperor!

However, he still retorted it hypocritically and said, "That may not be necessary. As long as you have good acting skills, there will always be a chance. Compared with Ge You and Jiang Wenyi, Hong Lei is a completely handsome guy!"

"That's right, but the key is that you have to have a chance. There are many people with good acting skills, not only the People's Art Theater, but also dozens of literary and artistic groups in Beijing, who can act and perform good shows, but most of them are acting in dramas or playing supporting roles, and may be unknown all their lives. Ge You, what does his old man do? Jiang Wen, if he hadn't acted in "Furong Town", could Lao Mouzi find him when he filmed "Red Sorghum"? So besides acting skills, chances are the most important. Hong Lei, the difference is that he lacks such an opportunity."

Zhao Baogang's words made his face feel a little hot. Jianjun and Alai were all the roles of King Yan in their previous life. And what he didn't know in his previous life, the veterinarian Zhang Qiang, who he just finished playing, was actually the dish of King Yan, and even had a scandal with Sister Gong for this.

Just as he didn't know how to talk, fortunately Zhao Baogang changed the topic in time and said, "Oh, by the way, Chen Daming kept yelling to meet you. I called him and asked if he was free now?"

Chen Daming's voice was very loud, and Wang Dalun could vaguely hear his voice on the phone through the coffee table. Generally speaking, people who speak loudly have good personalities.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Baogang said, "He will not arrive in an hour. Why don't you read the script first?"

"Okay!"

Zhao Baogang walked to the desk and opened the drawer and took out a stack of paper. He picked up a thick bound script on the table and said, "There is also the script of "What to save you, my lover". You can take it back and take it back to take a look."

When Wang Dalun heard this, he waved his hands and said, "Set this book on your side first. I will take it with you after I finish filming the show. I'm afraid of making a string!"

"Then you are not afraid of spelling this book?" Zhao Baogang smiled.

"This is different. Of course I have to film the drama you directed. I have to read the script of Teacher Chen before talking about this drama."

"Chen Daming, Zhang Jiandong, Wang Zhiwen and they are all classmates. You don't even give me such face?" Zhao Baogang smiled and handed him the script.

He took it and looked at it. The title of the film was actually called "Perfect Woman". He couldn't help but say, "Didn't it mean it's called "Manhole Cover?"

"Oh, this is the previous name, and later it was changed to "Manhole Cover". Take a look. This story is indeed very well written, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to act." Zhao Baogang said.

Wang Dalun opened the script, first looked at the introduction of the characters inside, and asked: "Who are you playing? Can't you play the robber called an expert, right?"

"I play the director Lu Qilin, here to save you."

"Oh, the second male lead! Then I need to take a good look at this."

"After Daxing was released from prison, he found that his girlfriend Xiaohui sang and dealt with men in order to survive in the karaoke hall. Liu Yi, a disabled rich man who had been secretly in love with Xiaohui since middle school, pursued Xiaohui relentlessly and hoped that she could return to the purity of her student age. Lu Qilin, the director of the police station who was in a crisis in his marriage, found that Xiaohui was a worldly and frivolous but ordinary real girl, and developed a good impression of her. Daxing was preparing to rob Liu Yi in order to regain her lover..."

Hey! Isn’t this a police and gangster movie with love, hate and love? It’s really that good? He read the outline and couldn’t help but ask a question mark on Zhao Baogang’s words. But let’s take a look at the content first.

The movie script is not like the TV script, which is smelly and long like the foot binding of an old lady. The more episodes the script, the thicker the script, and sometimes it has two or three copies. The movie script is usually dozens of pages, and at most hundreds of pages are suffocated. Like Lao Jia, there are only a dozen pieces of paper.

"The Manhole Cover" is only about thirty pages. After reading a few pages, he actually read it in and read it in one go. How did he say that the script was the first to feel that the style of this script is very similar to that of "The Manhole Cover" he had watched in his previous life, but it is not as funny as "The Manhole Cover". It also reflects many social problems, such as stealing manhole covers, black agents, difficulty in finding a job, etc.

And he couldn't figure out whether the movie made in this script was a commercial or an art film? You said it was an art film, the script was quite comedic, and it was a bit like "The Stupid Thief and the Wonderful Detective"; but you said it was a commercial film, the whole story was very rigorous and complete, from a heroic planning to a realistic finish, it had both a black humorous effect and a personal tragedy, and it was very profound in short.

But no matter what, this is indeed a good story and a good script. No wonder Brother Bao also wants to play a ticket.

"How is it, isn't it good?" Zhao Baogang poured him a cup of tea.

"Not bad, really good."

He took the teacup and took a sip of the tea, and suddenly said curiously: "Who is playing Xiaohui in there?"

"I don't know, it shouldn't be decided yet? Otherwise, he would have to tell me when he came last time." Zhao Baogang said.

Then he smiled and said, "Xiaohui is your girlfriend, who do you think is suitable?"

"Stop teasing, this is a question the director considers, and it doesn't count if I say it." Wang Dalun smiled.

"Just chat, I'm idle anyway."

Zhao Baogang is sometimes really boring, but when it comes to the heroine in the script, Wang Dalun really has some ideas. To be honest, this role is not easy to play, and it is difficult for ordinary actresses to control it.

He read all the actresses he thought were good at acting, whether they knew or not. The first person he thought of was Gong Li, but Sister Gong seemed to be too different from Xiaohui; Yan Bingyan seemed not charming enough; Wang Tong looked a little worse, and Xiaohui was recognized as the school beauty when she was in school.

He has to be pure and charming, and Xiaohui is the kind of straightforward and bold girl in the capital who dares to love and hate. The image in his mind gradually coincides with a delicate face.

"Xu Zao? Beautiful, wild enough, well, she is suitable!" Zhao Baogang's eyes lit up.

Xu Yu is definitely a beautiful actress among the mainland actresses, and she was originally from the capital. But what impressed Wang Dalun the most was the wild wife Cai who she performed in "Madness". However, this movie has not been released yet due to scale issues, and Wang Dalun was still screened as a teaching film when he was in school at the Film Academy.

"But please Xu Zao, I guess it's a big deal." Zhao Baogang then shook his head and said.

In recent years, Xu Yu has taken on scenes such as Huang Jianxin and Zhang Jizhong; or they are working with big brands, such as Uncle Daoming, Ge You, Jiang Wen, Wang Zhiwen, etc. It is said that her family has a good background and is popular, so it is really difficult for ordinary directors to invite her.

"I just said it casually." Wang Dalun laughed dryly, feeling a little disappointed.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. The two were chatting, and there were two knocking sounds outside, and then a middle-aged man of thirty-seven or eight came in.

Wang Dalun looked up and saw, and he was handsome! The guy who came here had big eyebrows, big eyes, high nose, long flowing hair, and a short beard with a very personality and fashionable appearance on his lower lip and chin.

"Haha, Brother Bao! Yo, Mr. Wang, hello!"

Chen Daming's voice was loud, and before the person could come, he had never met him, but he recognized Wang Dalun at a glance and politely reached out to him.

"I don't dare to be it, I don't dare to be it! Teacher Chen, just call me Dalun." Wang Dalun quickly stood up, held his hand with both hands, and said repeatedly.

"I haven't been a teacher for more than ten years, so it's better not to call this teacher. I heard that you are also a graduate of the Film Academy. If you are polite, just call me senior brother!" Chen Daming said with a smile.

Chen Daming was so happy, Wang Dalun felt good, and he was not pretentious, and shouted: "Senior brother, please sit down."

"Come on, have a cup of tea first." Zhao Baogang also greeted.

"It's Pu'er last time, this is a good tea!" Chen Daming sat down and tasted it.

Zhao Baogang enjoys tea and collects some famous teas. When he heard Chen Daming's praise, he was very happy and said, "I tell you, this is a pure material for ancient tree tea I bought in a time-honored tea shop in Yunnan. Now the ones I buy outside are all artificially grown."

"Brother Bao, I don't understand what you told me, I know it tastes good!" Chen Daming smiled.

"No problem, come to me for tea when you have time."

"That's the best, as long as you don't bother me."

Chen Daming noticed the script on the coffee table and turned to Wang Dalun and said, "Dalun, how about it? But I have something to say first. I don't have much money here, so I can only make this number for you." As he said that, he stretched out two fingers.

Wang Dalun looked at Zhao Baogang and nodded, "Okay, senior brother, no problem, I'll take this script."

"It's OK!" Chen Daming slapped his palm and said, "I'm going to collect the crew now. "Spring of the Small Town" directed by Dalun and Zhuangzhuang will start filming next month, right? Then we'll start filming from late October to November, right?"

"Well, it should be about the same." Wang Dalun nodded. The story of "Spring in a Small Town" was in an old house. There were not many actors, so there were no need to run around and there were no big scenes. Two months of shooting time was completely enough.

"What about the other actors except me and Dalun? Who is Xiaohui playing?" Zhao Baogang and Wang Dalun looked at each other, trying to reveal the answers of the two chatting before.

"The other actors are almost the same, and they are all old friends who help me. Xiaohui, I invited Ning Jing." Chen Daming revealed the answer.

Ning Jing?

Wang Dalun's first reaction is that he has big breasts! Big breasts! Milan in "Sunny Days" is particularly impressive. But let alone, she is quite consistent with Xiaohui's image in the script.

"Well, she can do it!" Zhao Baogang made a judgment first.
Chapter completed!
