Chapter 80 Candidates(1/2)
Zhang Heping's arrival was unexpected by Xu Rong and it was difficult for him to directly refuse.
When he was drinking last time, he heard Han Sanping mention it. He was able to beat many competitors to star in the male lead in "The Founding of the Party", and Zhang Heping made great efforts in it.
He has to help both public and private, both this is a busy person.
After seeing Zhang Heping off, he stood at the gate of the courtyard with his hands in his pockets, thinking about what to do next.
It is predictable that since the news of the replacement of the "Series" yesterday spread, Xu Jizhou will inevitably become the new target of strategy for all parties. The executive producer, director, screenwriter, and normal person, the entire "Series" crew is almost Xu Jizhou's one-man show.
"No matter what, I still have to understand what the person Zhang Heping recommends is. If it is too outrageous, I can only say sorry."
He knew very well what he could rely on today. In the past year, the identity of a Person Art Theater has indeed given him considerable help.
But before becoming an actor in the People's Art Theater, he was already one of the top male actors in the field of TV dramas.
"The Number" is different from "Snow Leopard". Although "Snow Leopard" was defined as a group portrait during the promotion period, it is essentially a one-man show by Zhou Weiguo alone.
In "The Indelible Number", Li Da has the most capable scenes, but Chen Feng and Sun Chenghai also have many scenes, but their roles are different.
In contrast, Diao Chan has few scenes in the women's competition, which is very similar to Gu Yejia in "Before Dawn". It is very difficult to be outstanding.
But she is the most vivid female character in the script. In order to have a husband who has only known each other for a short time and is in name only, and has a strong sense of family and country, when everyone is waiting to die, she stood up without hesitation and chose to detonate the mine and die with the enemy horse team.
Such female characters with clear love and hate are very rare in film and television works that were always entangled in love and love in the past. Her death will be even more tragic than Gu Yejia and Xiao Ya's death.
With fewer roles and distinctive characters, it means that there are higher requirements for actors. Before that, Xu Rong had two relatively suitable candidates in his heart, one was Song Jia and the other was Masus.
But both of them have worked together, especially Song Jia, who has worked together twice, especially the conversation at the last awards ceremony, which has led to him having no intention of continuing to work with her for the time being.
Back in the living room, picked up the photos on the table and looked at them for a while, and Xu Rong called Xu Jizhou.
"Hey, Teacher Xu?"
Xu Rong listened to Xu Jizhou's polite tone, and did not make up the twists and turns. He asked directly: "Director Xu, is our female number one the actresses in Diao Chan's exhibition match decided?"
Hearing his inquiry, Xu Jizhou was silent for a moment and said, "Not yet, Teacher Xu, is there anyone who recommends it?"
"It can't be said to be a recommendation. I don't know anyone else, so I want to ask you to take a look."
"Okay, Teacher Xu, please let her record a video and send it over."
"Okay, I'll send you an email later."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Rong called out according to the phone on the back of the photo.
"Hey, who are you?"
"I am Xu Rong, may I ask you..."
“Dududu…”
Xu Rong took the phone out of his ear in a daze.
The call has been disconnected.
“Stopped?”
He said to himself, turned around and called Xiao Zhang, who had already returned to Anshan to answer her parents. After chatting for a few words, he hung up again.
At this time, he was sure that the actress introduced by the dean, whom he had never heard of, actually hung up his phone and invited her to play the first female lead.
Although this role doesn't have many scenes, the TV series he starred in, except for "North Wind" and "The Wife", does not have many scenes in any female lead, and they are all fighting like dogs.
He was a little unbeliever and called him again.
The other party was obviously quite impatient: "Hey, I don't have money, don't waste your time, I advise you to find a serious job."
Xu Rong suddenly understood and treated him as a liar. And after hearing the other party's tone, he obviously didn't know what Zhang Heping asked himself to take the role.
After some speculation, he was not anxious, but asked slowly: "Are you Ke Lan?"
"Oh, the preparations are not very good. I am Ke Lan, but I can tell you clearly that this is not my name."
Xu Rong stopped talking nonsense and said, "I am Xu Rong. I think you are more suitable for the female lead in a drama I am about to shoot. I will send you a word and introduction, and you can record a video and send it."
Ke Lan immediately replied: "I am Qin Shihuang. I am not dead. I have been sleeping all the time. Now I am resurrected. As long as I resurrect my 100,000 Terracotta Warriors and Horses, I can rule the world. I urgently need 5,000 yuan of start-up funds. As long as you transfer 5,000 yuan to my account, I will help me restore the country successfully. I will grant you a Marquis Cheung."
"What's the matter?"
"Don't you say that when you cheat money?"
Xu Rong pinched the photo and looked at it silently for a few seconds. At this time, he believed that he had accidentally seen something before. On the Internet, you didn't know what was going on with you.
Looking at Wenwen's quiet girl, how could she face strangers and hooligans?
After he was silent for more than ten seconds, Ke Lan's voice suddenly lost the excitement and excitement of teasing, and said uncertainly: "You, can't you really be Xu Rong, Teacher Xu, right?"
"Otherwise, who do you think I am, Emperor Wu of Han?"
"Uh, no, no, I just didn't expect that Teacher Xu, you will call me in person..."
After watching a high-definition video from Ke Lan's hair, Xu Rong always felt that the taste was not right, even though she also found a relatively "bandit" outfit as he said.
But her performance was too reserved, but from the phone call just now, he had learned some of her true character.
If it really doesn't work, just scold a few more times, but there are not many scenes anyway.
It was lunch time, and the grandfather and grandson sat facing each other.
Xiao Zhang went to Anshan, and Xu Xing also returned home.
Similar situations were almost like this before Xu Rong was seventeen years old, but now, both of them suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
The meal is extremely simple, and the noodles are served with a plate of cucumbers.
He originally wanted to cook two dishes, but when he was patting the garlic, the knife slapped him.
I am not used to it, not only because of the departure of Xiao Zhang and Xu Xing, but also because of the lack of food, but when I talk, I always seem to have something missing.
Grandpa was eating slowly, and at a certain moment, he raised his eyelids and asked, "When will Xiao Zhang come back?"
"Tomorrow, come with his parents."
Grandpa nodded slightly and asked, "Have you thought about it?"
"Think about it!"
The old man smiled with relief, lit his jaw twice and said, "That's it."
In the busy life, 2010 of the lunar calendar is about to pass.
When Xu Rong arrived at the airport and picked up Xiao Zhang's parents, got in the car, and waited for him to take off his mask, Uncle Zhang caught a glimpse of the beard that had been left under Xu Rong's chin for more than two months, and asked in surprise: "Xiao Xu, why are you growing a beard?"
Xu Rong turned his head, scratched his chin with his hand, and asked with a smile: "How is it, uncle, are you guys?"
Xiao Zhang's parents looked at each other, and the expression on their faces was extremely strange for a moment, because they suddenly realized that Xu Rong seemed to have changed this time.
Xiao Zhang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, smiled "Geese and Goose", until she noticed the strange atmosphere in the car, her laughter slowly stopped. She turned around and explained: "Teacher Xu is preparing for a new drama, and growing a beard is also an image requirement."
Aunt Wang asked subconsciously: "Can't you rely on makeup?"
Xu Rong was about to explain the reason, but Xiao Zhang immediately said: "This is called from the outside to the inside in the performance. Simply put, Teacher Xu specially dressed himself up like this. Every day when looking in the mirror, he will feel from the bottom of his heart that he is overlapping with the role he is going to play."
"Oh, no wonder." Uncle Zhang suddenly realized that although he didn't understand very much, he always felt incredible when he heard it.
Xu Rong glanced at Xiao Zhang in surprise. From the outside to the inside is a relatively simple theory, but her last words proved that she did understand what it means to go from the outside to the inside and how to go from the outside to the inside.
Not to mention, strict teachers can indeed produce great disciples.
The practice method Feng Yuanzheng taught Xiao Zhang has no other characteristics, it is fatigue, because the purpose is to reach her physical or mental limits at the fastest speed in the shortest time, and then develop her own performance gold.
Of course, the negative impact is also great. Every time Xiao Zhang finished practicing and did other exercises, his legs always shook like a squinting.
Aunt Wang asked worriedly: "When this happens, over time, will there be any mental problems?"
"It's okay." Xu Rong glanced at Xiao Zhang, who had been staring at him for only one day apart. "Most actors, especially those who acted well, take a long time to recover after successfully creating a role."
"Auntie, what you said does exist. The spirit of many actors is actually problematic."
"Oh, then you have to pay attention."
Grandpa seemed quite happy about Xiao Zhang's parents' arrival.
The old man watched the elderly living in the same community all day long, but his grandson's marriage was still missing.
Although I didn't say anything, my anxiety was real.
While having dinner at night, my grandfather looked at Xiao Zhang's parents and said, "Xiao Zhang's parents, are you still satisfied with our Xu Rong?"
At the dinner table, with the voice of my grandfather, Xu Rong immediately slowed down and looked at Uncle Zhang and Aunt Wang who were putting down their chopsticks.
Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "Uncle Xu, you are joking. I am satisfied, I must be satisfied."
Aunt Wang's eyes glanced at Xu Rong and her daughter, and nodded with a smile.
When my grandfather saw the two of them expressing their opinions, the wrinkles on his face became deeper: "Then, the two children have been together for so long. Should we set a good day and put the two-word marriage on the agenda?"
Xiao Zhang's movement of scattering rice suddenly stopped, slowly raised his head and looked at the smiling grandfather, parents and Teacher Xu.
"You?" Her eyes that could hardly turn slowly passed by several people's faces, and she didn't see even a trace of surprise on any of her faces. It seemed that they knew everything in advance. Only the person involved, who was the first time they heard about it.
Uncle Zhang immediately said, "Sir, how can you interrupt if you speak?"
Xiao Zhang nodded blankly and turned to look at Teacher Xu. She didn't see any surprise in his expression. She was a little puzzled because she never remembered that Teacher Xu had discussed this matter with her parents alone.
