Zhao Baogang's play, starring Yuan Li, Wang Dalun knew what kind of play it was when he heard it. He met Yuan Li in this play in his previous life, and he still has a deep impression on him.

This drama is so popular! In the late 1990s and early new century, the most popular dramas on the domestic screen were definitely ranked among the top three, and it made several young actors, including Yuan Li, famous at that time.

The character Yuan Li introduced him to was a black man named Jianjun. There were not many scenes in the society, and there were only dozens of scenes, which only lasted only three or four episodes. Originally, he didn't care if he had more scenes than a few scenes. It was a great honor to be able to participate in the scenes directed by Zhao Baogang. But the problem was that you had to follow this scene to more than a dozen cities, and the filming time span was quite long, and it took more than two months to run outside. At first, he was a little hesitant, but considering Yuan Li's kind-hearted face, he still agreed to try it.

At nine o'clock that night, Wang Dalun came to a seafood restaurant in Chaoyang at the agreed time. The lobby was large, brightly lit, full of people, and there was a large stage in the middle. Wang Dalun originally thought that the business of this restaurant was really good, and there were so many people at all. But when he got closer, he found that there were no dishes on the table, and these people were all extras.

The person who received him was an associate director, who introduced himself as Sha Jie. Sha Jie told him to ask him to wait a while, the director is now filming in a private room.

As a result, when he waited until twelve o'clock, he saw actors coming in and out from time to time. Several of them were quite familiar. He didn't see Yuan Li either. The deputy director Sha Jie, who was receiving him, was busy directing the camera to film the scene in the lobby. He was embarrassed to come forward to disturb him, so he could only wait.

After waiting for about half an hour, he saw a large group of people coming out of the private room area inside. Wang Dalun didn't know Zhao Baogang, but saw a middle-aged man surrounded by several actors, including Yuan Li. He probably was the director.

The director danced and talked to several directors together, and directed the cameras to be arranged in the lobby. At this time, Yuan Li, who had just made a vacancy, also found Wang Dalun standing outside, and hurried over.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Yuan Li looked a little tired, but she was in good spirits. She became much fatter than when she filmed "Thunderstorm".

"It's not too long, thank you, Sister Yuan Li." Although he had already expressed his gratitude on the phone, Wang Dalun still expressed his gratitude to Yuan Li in person when meeting him.

Yuan Li waved her hand and said, "It's okay, don't be polite. I just helped to recommend it. In the end, the director has to decide. I tell you, don't look at this role, the director attaches great importance to it. I have tried several of them before, but the director is not satisfied." As she said that, she smiled and said, "But I believe you can do it."

Because we were fellow villagers, they naturally spoke Hangzhou dialect when chatting. I heard Yuan Li say that today's filming was not going well. I shot more than a dozen scenes in the private room repeatedly, but the director seemed to be not satisfied. At the same time, he specifically told him that the director was in a bad mood today, so he asked him to be a little careful when the audition later.

As the heroine Yuan Li has many scenes today. After a short time of chatting, she was called by the deputy director Sha Jie to come over to prepare for filming. The director did not call him, and Wang Dalun could only continue to wait and stand aside and watch the filming.

The scenes in the lobby are very complicated, most of them are cut scenes, and there are few dialogues. The actors have to change their clothes over and over again, and they will have to edit them to different time periods in the future.

It was almost three o'clock in the morning that the director finally called him. It has been almost six hours since I waited last night at 9 o'clock last night to now. This was the first time Wang Dalun had encountered such a thing, even when he was a supporting actor, he had never waited for such a long time.

However, he followed Sha Jie honestly to the director. Zhao Baogang was sitting on a sofa, lowering his head and flipping through the script.

"Director, this is Wang Dalun." Sha Jie introduced it.

"Hello, director." Wang Dalun quickly greeted him.

Zhao Baogang waited for a while before looking up, without saying a word, looked him up and down with a picky look, as if he was not satisfied, and said to himself: "Be honest."

Wang Dalun was very embarrassed and didn't know how to follow it down. He heard the director ask, "Did you wear a watch?"

“Not worn.”

After saying that, he heard the director shouting loudly: "Props, give him a watch and ask for a gold watch."

A young man wearing glasses responded quickly and brought a yellow watch. He took it and saw that the pointer was gone, and it was clearly a bad one.

Then the deputy director Sha Jie gave him a note with a few words on it, saying that Jianjun stood in the lobby with his back to the camera and watched the performance on the stage. The boss Ouyang Tian came over and asked him, "Have you arranged it?"

Jun replied: "After the arrangement is done, I'll leave right away."

Tian said: "It's better to drive to the route we want to take and see if the road has changed."

Jun replied: "Oh!"

With just a few lines, Wang Dalun had never read the script and didn't know the cause and effect. He wanted to ask Sha Jie again, but he heard the director shouting, "Are you ready?"

He looked back and saw that the camera had already come forward, and Mr. Qian Yongfu, who played Ouyang Tian, ​​was ready. Didn’t he say the audition, why did he start filming directly? He didn’t have time to think too much, so he had to bite the bullet and say, “It’s ready.”

Although he couldn't figure out the causes and consequences, Wang Dalun probably had no problem dealing with them by himself.

Because Jianjun, whom he played, was a thug, and the director just said that his face was too honest. Wang Dalun deliberately tightened his face. Although he turned his back to the camera, he still focused his eyes a little, making his eyes sharper. His legs spread slightly, his hands were folded, and his waist was straight, watching a buddy singing on the central stage of the lobby.

The sound of footsteps came from behind. Qian Yongfu came into the camera from behind, walked to his side, and naturally turned his hands back. Wang Dalun turned slowly. He only knew that Ouyang Tian was the boss, but he was not very clear about the positioning between the two. Just waiting for Qian Yongfu to speak, he heard the director shouting loudly: "Card!"

Wang Dalun immediately realized that the problem must be with him, but what made him uncomfortable was that he didn't know what was wrong with him.

This doesn't work, so you still have to ask Sha Jie clearly, otherwise you will not be able to act.

When he had just taken a step and was about to walk towards Sha Jie, he heard the director ask, "Who, Wang Dalun, wait a moment, I'll ask you, where did you graduate and have you ever learned to perform?"

He could hear the director's words being dissatisfied, but he didn't savor it carefully, and subconsciously replied: "I graduated from the Performance Department of the Film Academy, studied acting, and directed."

"No, you are from another department, are you from the performance department? Are you from the stage art department?"

Now Wang Dalun finally understood that the director was trying to humiliate himself in a different way and was extremely dissatisfied. Just kidding, I just came back from the Berlin Film Festival last two months ago. I am from the Department of Dance and Art. What's wrong with the Department of Dance and Art?

Just as he was complaining, he heard Zhao Baogang roar, "You are just a thug and a bodyguard. Why are you older than Teacher Qian Yongfu? You are holding hands. Are you the boss or is he the boss?"

Although the words were unpleasant, Wang Dalun still realized that his reaction just now was indeed a little slower. When he saw the boss, he should immediately put down his hand and listen to the boss's instructions. But this is not that he doesn't understand the situation and has not had time to get into the state.

But this cannot be said. If you say it, it is equivalent to publicly challenging the director's authority. In this circle, Zhao Baogang's status is obvious. Wang Dalun will not be stupid enough to offend him on his own initiative, let alone the problem with his acting.

Speaking of Zhao Baogang's roar, the entire lobby of 100 people suddenly became silent, and they all focused their attention here.

"Bang!" Zhao Baogang threw the notebook in his hand hard on the coffee table and shouted: "I can't shoot this scene today, I won't shoot it anymore!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked inside.

The whole lobby was silent for a full minute. Everyone looked at Wang Dalun with some sympathy. People familiar with the director knew that the director was in a bad mood today, and the new guy was also unlucky and just hit the gun.

Wang Dalun looked amused and crying. He was either afraid of embarrassment or felt that the whole night of this day was too strange. He waited for six hours, and then started filming without any preparation. After NG, he attracted the director's sarcasm and furiousness.

Wang Dalun is not the kind of person who has to go on stage to become famous. He filmed the film to make a living. He could have left, but he was a little reluctant before. He only had dozens of scenes and had to run around in more than two months. The girl had no time to take care of her after filming the film. But Zhao Baogang said that he could not act, so he was very dissatisfied and insisted on letting him see whether he was from the performance department or the stage art department.

But things went against his wishes. He didn't leave. The prop guy with glasses walked up to him, and didn't say anything, so he stretched out his hand.

"What are you doing?" Wang Dalun asked.

The guy with glasses didn't say anything, and still spread his hands in front of him.

"I said, buddy, what do you mean?"

The guy with glasses rolled his eyes and squeezed out in pain: "Brother, give me your props and watches, you will have to leave in a while."

Only then did Wang Dalun realize that if he didn't leave, he would drive him away. He immediately said nothing, took off his watch and gave it to the guy with glasses. He looked around and didn't notice Yuan Li's figure. Maybe he had gone to take off his makeup or rest after the show. He didn't go to say goodbye to Yuan Li, so he greeted the deputy director Sha Jie and Mr. Qian Yongfu who had just played the role, and got out in shame.
Chapter completed!
