Chapter 3 Brief History

"call!"

Wang Dalun rubbed his astringent eyes and felt very painful.

Today I made an appointment with Zhang Yuan to meet in a teahouse. Zhang Yuan came up and asked him to read the script first. The title page contained the four words "East Palace and West Palace". At first, he thought it was a costume palace fighting scene, thinking that he would let himself play a eunuch, right?

As a result, when he opened it, it turned out to be a gay movie. In front of Zhang Yuan, he could only grit his teeth and watch it. He actually read it in at the sight. He read it for more than half an hour with more than twenty pages of content, word by word. If you want to say that the script is really good, but this subject...

Zhang Yuan sat patiently across from the other side to drink tea and smoke. It was not until Wang Dalun finished reading the script that he handed over slowly and asked, "How do you feel?"

"The script is well written." Wang Dalun took a sip of tea and said the truth.

"Then what do you think of this kind of thing?" Zhang Yuan asked again.

"Well, I don't have any opinions, it's quite normal."

Although Wang Dalun was not very interested in this alternative subject, he did not show any fuss. After all, this kind of thing was no longer a rare thing in his previous life, and even if two people got married, it was legal in many countries.

"Do you have no prejudice against such things?" Zhang Yuan was surprised, and his eyes became more interesting when he looked at him.

Seeing this, Wang Dalun waved his hand and said, "Dr. Zhang, don't get me wrong. I don't have this kind of hobby. I just think, what do you mean? It's like everyone has their own love for carrots, some like to eat vegetables, and some may like to eat vegetables, but it's just that personal hobbies are different, which is quite normal."

Zhang Yuan was originally worried that he would not be able to pass the psychological level, but this guy still kept changing his expression and said one by one. Well, he was too worried.

"What do you think of the character Xiao Shi?"

At first, Wang Dalun was a little worried that Zhang Yuan would let him play Alan in the script. When he heard him ask Xiao Shi, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, he was the one above and was still a policeman. As for the role of Alan, it was not that he could not play it. It was just that this character was not only a person, but also had a strong taste. He also had to play CDs in the play. It was heartbreaking and ruining his views, and it was far less decent than Xiao Shi.

"Xiao Shi?"

"Yes, I want to hear how you understand this character? You can say whatever you think." Zhang Yuan encouraged.

"About the character Xiao Shi..." Wang Dalun could not describe it in words for a while, so he simply said: "I think I'm just pretending."

"Uh..." Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately said with anticipation again: "What do you say?"

Please, brother! This script was adapted by you. Wouldn't you know? Wang Dalun couldn't help but complain when he saw Zhang Yuan's appearance.

However, he quickly thought that the director asked him to understand the role. He thought for a while and said, "First he was harassed, then he had a long talk all night, from the initial disdain, sarcasm, insult to shock, and then to the realization of something and being angry, escaping and confusion. On the surface, Xiao Shi was successfully bent by Alan, but in fact I think Ya was just a bend, but she was tearing off her disguise step by step. In the end, she showed her true face, but she escaped at the end. You said Ya was pretending!"

There are not many characters in the script, such as Alan, Xiao Shi, and a "bus" that makes me soy. There are also several Kunqu opera plots interspersed in the middle. At first, he didn't know it. Maybe it was an abstract method of the director, but when Xiao Shi forced Alan to wear women's clothing, he became crazy, which made him suddenly think of "Farewell My Concubine" and his brother's youth. Only then did he suddenly realize that Xiao Shi was not betrayed by Alan, but Xiao Shi was subconsciously bent, but the police identity did not allow him to be a gay, and what Alan did was just awakening him.

In fact, although Wang Dalun said it easily, out of his sense of substitution for the character, thinking of the story in the script, he couldn't help but feel goose bumps, trembling and uneasiness intertwined, and subconsciously avoided Zhang Yuan's eyes on the other side.

Hiss, Zhang Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up. Perhaps at first he just thought Wang Dalun's image was very suitable, and there was also a little thanks, but at this time he decided that Wang Dalun should be Xiao Shi.

Zhang Yuan was not stingy at all. The salary he offered to Wang Dalun was 20,000. Although Liu Ling said the price was a bit low, Wang Dalun was very flattered. You should know that in the past life, he worked as a small worker on the construction site for only 400 yuan a month, and it also made him feel that it was no big deal that he couldn't find a suitable job.

Zhang Yuan is also a person without a workplace, but this does not prevent him from doing well. He only takes a few MVs every year and lives a good life, but also supports his ideals for movies. In his words, movies are his career, and shooting MVs are just a means of making a living. His tone when speaking is very cold, which makes Wang Dalun yearn for it.

The Film Academy encourages students to go out to film, especially those in graduate classes like Wang Dalun. Of course, the news that he was going to make a movie caused a sensation in the class, and there was both envy and jealousy.

Wang Dalun completely put aside his job search and was busy memorizing lines every day to figure out the characters in the play. The environment in the collective dormitory was very noisy, so he even ran to Liu Ling's rental house and asked her to help with the show.

Fu Ren University is now the North Campus of Beijing Normal University. It was originally Taobeile Mansion and used the mansion as the campus. The pavilions in the courtyard are arranged in an orderly manner, surrounded by hundreds of towering ancient trees. It is quiet and elegant, and it is a rare garden-style campus in the city center. It is said that "Farewell My Concubine" and "Sunny Days" have been filmed here.

In addition to some of Alan's clips, the main shooting scenes of "East Palace and West Palace" are all concentrated here. The first filming king Dalun was very curious. After receiving the notice of starting the filming, he came to the set early. The guys had 50 or 60 people, and there were two blond and blue-eyed foreigners, who were said to be representatives of the investors, and he suddenly felt tall and eager to get ahead.

Since Alan's role has not been decided for a long time, Zhang Yuan decided to film the young Alan first. Wang Dalun was on the crew for nothing, saying that he wanted to get into the role as soon as possible. Of course, Zhang Yuan was happy to see it. He also arranged a small single room for the guesthouse he booked in the crew so that he could not be disturbed when he figured out the role.

The young man Alan is a 16-year-old high school student. It is said that he was a very famous child star in the past. However, when he first saw the actor acting in a bus that day, he was really shocked. The girl with two braids in front of him, with big eyes in front of him, was actually Xiaoyanzi Zhao Wei.

It’s not Wang Dalun’s fuss. He has seen many beautiful stars in the film school, such as Yuan Li in the 92nd grade, in addition to Jiang Dehua, there is also Lao Xu, who is known as the “Little Congo Little White Girl” in the 93rd grade, Jiang Qingqing, a school beauty in the 94th grade, and the young and beautiful Zuo Xiaoqing in the 95th grade, and the beautiful little Sun who has been stolen by a chef named Huang. As for the legendary star class in the 96th grade... Well, I haven’t entered the school yet, and the most beautiful one is right in front of me.

Zhao Wei was very young at this time, but Wang Dalun felt that she was more beautiful than on the screen. By the way, Zhao Wei had a foundation in acting before and filmed a movie called "Daughter Valley", which was one of the heroines. This time she was attracted by Zhang Yuan when she came to apply for the film academy.

Compared to the somewhat arrogant child star, Xiaoyanzi is much cheerful. When she learned that Wang Dalun was a student in the Performance Department of the Film Academy, she began to change her words and call him senior brother. Although the results of the application have not yet come out, it can be seen that Xiaoyanzi is still quite confident.

Xiaoyanzi doesn’t have many scenes. She plays the classmate of the young Alan, but has no name and is nicknamed as a girl. The bus means that anyone who falls in love with her means.

When Xiaoyanzi was asked to act in the bus, Wang Dalun felt that the style was seriously discordant. Zhang Yuan was too cruel. However, when he got behind Zhang Yuan's back and saw the bus from the monitor, he was immediately amazed.

Two braids, hair was a little scattered, and a rustic white plaid shirt on her upper body, a fat gray pants on her lower body, black cloth shoes on her feet, and a yellow-green schoolbag on her feet. The originally bright big eyes were dull at this time. Seeing the teacher on the podium swept over, he lowered his head in panic, and then walked towards his seat. She walked very slowly, her feet were about to leave the ground, and the classmates in the classroom looked at her with strange eyes...

Tsk! The whole thing was to live a despised and despised bus, and even Zhang Yuan, who was staring at the monitor, was nodding slightly.

"Click—"

Zhang Yuan suddenly called for a stop.

Pointing to the former child star who played the young Alan, he said, "Ye Jin, your expression is wrong. You should be different from others. You are not disgusted with her, but sympathize with her, and love her. Do you understand?"

"I understand, director." Ye Jin, wearing a short-sleeved sea soul shirt, nodded quickly.

"Okay, come again."

“ACTION!”

"Click!"

"Ye Jin, don't put your expression on your face, your eyes! Do you understand? Put your feelings in your eyes."

"Click!"

"Ye Jin, your eyes are still wrong. You can't just have sympathy, but also have admiration. Remember, although everyone looks down on her, you have always had a crush on her, and you find your own shadow in her and feel like you are sympathetic. Pay attention, your eyes must move with her, and all feelings are in your eyes."

After several consecutive "clicks", this former child star who has always felt good about himself was a little uncomfortable on his face, but he still took a deep breath stubbornly, tried to restore his expression to the expression in the play, and said, "Director, I'm ready, come again!"

"Click!"

"Click!"

"Click!"

After NG seven or eight times, Zhang Yuan finally couldn't help but throw the record book in his hand heavily and shouted at Ye Jin: "Ye Jin, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes always wrong? Emotions! I told you, you have to have emotions! Why are you..."

The temperature in Beijing was only seven or eight degrees in mid-March, and the thin-clothed actors were trembling. Zhang Yuan had to wave his hand powerlessly, "Forget it, rest for a quarter of an hour, everyone will warm up."

As soon as Zhang Yuan finished speaking, Wang Dalun quickly picked up his down shirt and ran over to put it on Zhao Wei.

"Give it, drink some hot water and cover your hands." He handed over a glass bottle of Nestlé coffee containing hot water.

Zhao Wei had already been so cold that he had been wrapped in a down jacket, covered the bottle with both hands, blew the heat, drank two sips of hot water, and finally recovered, and said gratefully: "Thank you, senior brother."

"Don't be polite, be careful not to catch a cold." Wang Dalun said with a pity.

"It's okay, I'm wearing two pairs of autumn pants inside." Zhao Wei pointed to the fat gray pants on her lower body and said with a smug look on her face.

"Uh..." This silly girl actually talked about things with her long pants, and Wang Dalun had to speak up.

"Hey, by the way, senior brother, how did I act just now?" Zhao Wei leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Okay! All the movements and eyes are in place." Wang Dalun said with his thumb up.

"Haha..." Hearing the praise, the girl suddenly became silly happy.

In fact, when he first met Zhao Wei, Wang Dalun was still thinking about making friends with him. Why? The reason is very simple, because he knew that this girl would be red and purple in two years. Since he had made up his mind to stay in this circle and had a good relationship, he might be able to support himself if he had the chance in the future. And even if he didn't have the chance to support him, even if he brags in front of others in the future, the saying "Zhao Wei is my friend." is a very good thing.

However, after contacting each other in the past two days, Wang Dalun really likes this girl. She is not only beautiful, cheerful, but also has a very big heart. For example, now, because of the other party’s reasons, if others have any objections, she is like nothing else, and she acts very seriously every time, making people unable to find any mistakes.
