Full-time actor

Chapter 119 [118] A challenging role!

Although it is summer vacation now, many teachers of Chinese drama are still very busy and basically sit in the office during the day.

Summer acting classes, training classes, drama rehearsals at the Chinese Opera Experimental Theater, etc. Even Chang Li is still on the job. Not only is he responsible for the course arrangements for sophomores and juniors, but she is also fully responsible for the enrollment.

Coupled with the fact that Huang has just resigned, she can be said to be the busiest person in the Chinese drama industry at present.

Chen Yu knocked on the door and went in, and saw that she was constantly on the phone. The table was filled with many documents and notes, looking extremely busy.

She actually saw Chen Yu when he walked in. She pointed to him in front of her and then to the phone. The meaning was obviously self-evident.

Chen Yu sat on the seat opposite her and listened to her arranging various matters on the phone. After more than ten minutes, she had time to hang up the phone and said to Chen Yu with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, Chen Hey, I’m a little busy!”

"fine!"

Chen Yu smiled slightly and watched Chang Li put up the microphone of the landline phone so that no one else could make calls.

"Did you get the scores in the Jiangnan Province College Entrance Examination? How are they?"

As expected, Chang Li was still the stern teacher, always asking about the college entrance examination.

"Not bad, 539 points!"

"Yo, yes, yes!"

When Chang Li heard the score, a smile appeared on her face, and the fatigue of the past few days seemed to be swept away: "This score is very high. I heard that the total score in Jiangnan this year is generally 10 points lower than last year." ~20 points!"

"Well, the comprehensive comprehensive examination is a bit abnormal. There are 6 exams..."

When Chen Yu talked about this, he also had a look of resentment on his face.

"This really shouldn't happen, but Jiangnan Province has always been ahead of the country in its college entrance examination reform, and it is expected that it will have to be changed again next year!"

"Okay, don't talk about this, I still have to give you the entrance gift!"

Chang Li suddenly picked up her reading glasses from the side and put them on, then opened a book of her work notes.

"There are several opportunities here. Just take a look and choose. Don't choose them all!"

"Just one, you, Teacher Chang, I asked for it with all my shame, and I have to give it back..."

Although Chang Li said it with a smile, Chen Yu could see a hint of helplessness on her face when she said this; if it hadn't been for this sudden incident in the drama, why would she be begging for this and that at this age.

Chen Yu didn't move at all. He looked at Chang Li and said, "Teacher Chang, this is really unnecessary. Your phone call to Senior Xia Yu last time helped me a lot; this is my first time taking on a drama——"

"Nonsense, wasn't your first movie "Towards a Republic"? Do you really think I didn't ask about it?"

"..."

Chen Yu was sweating a little. It seemed that Chang Li had checked all her background!

"Teacher Chang, I didn't make it clear. It's the first time for a big role to play!"

"Okay, I've made the call, why don't you ask me to go back? What I said is just water thrown out, let you choose!"

Chang Li obviously put on her teacher's airs and pushed her work notes in front of Chen Yu.

A scrawled but not unreadable handwriting was written line by line on the notebook.

12345...a total of 8 pieces of relevant information.

1. Jiang Wen’s new play.

2. Xu Geng auditioned for "A Date with the Police".

3. Gong Li...Wang Jiawei's new play.

……

Every time he looked at one, the corners of Chen Yu's eyes jumped.

Good guy, Jiang Wen, "Appointment with the Police"...Gong Li...Wang Jiawei...

"Generally, if a director is in short supply, he or she will come to China Theater to find me!"

"What's the name of Gong Li's new drama last month? It lacks a second male lead and a stand-in for Gong Li, so I recommended one!"

"Zhou Yu's train!"

Chen Yu checked the information a few days ago and found it, but unfortunately the filming should be finished soon.

"Yes, this is the one, and I recommended it to Sun Honglei later on!"

Sun Honglei played the second male lead in "Zhou Yu's Train".

"Ah...that was what you recommended, Teacher Chang?"

Wasn't it said that it was the role that Ding Jiali knelt down to get?

Did Chen Yu forget it?

Ding Jiali was the fucking actress who played the leading female role in "Kala is a Dog"; when Chen Yu was filming opposite her, she was still thinking, Lei Lei has a very strong taste and he paid a lot for the role.

Unexpectedly, Chang Li also mentioned it?

"Oh, I remembered, yes, yes, the kneeling role was in Sun Honglei's last film!"

"In this movie Zhou Yu Train, Lei Zi wants to have an affair with Emperor Gong. There are a lot of scandals, and Ding Jiali even had a quarrel..."

Awesome, Lei Zi.

Chen Yu thought of a lot of gossip about Sun Honglei, but what really made him famous was not "Zhou Yu's Train", but "Conquest"!

Liu Huaqiang's performance in it is really awesome.

Even decades later, his countless emoticons and lines are still circulating on the Internet.

"conquer?"

Chen Yu thought of this, but suddenly looked at the last entry on the note in front of him.

8. Shi Zhaoqi has a new drama but lacks a role.

"Teacher Chang, what is the name of this new play by Teacher Shi Zhaoqi?"

Of course I know Shi Zhaoqi and Chen Yu. He is a famous tough guy and professional policeman. Although his name is unfamiliar, his role is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The first thing Chen Yu thought of was An Changlin in "Hurry".

The most important thing is that Shi Zhaoqi participated in the drama "Conquest".

"What, you want this?"

Chang Li was a little confused, which of the previous ones was not better than this one?

"Don't you want to try Wang Jiawei's new drama?"

The King of Sunglasses is still quite famous in the circle. Chang Li finally called Gong Li and asked for a spot in the audition. Although the chance may not be great, it is still a kind of resume.

I auditioned for the movie King of Sunglasses.

"I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail!"

"I feel like I can't handle these films by great directors, movie stars, and actresses..."

The main reason is that Chen Yu is not well-known at all. Even if he can get a role in the audition, it will be just a scrap; it is better to give it a try and ask a few other questions.

"Your idea is quite pragmatic!" "Okay, Xiaoshi's new drama seems to be a police film. I didn't ask the director, but he said that he needs a male actor, preferably younger and with good acting skills, so I thought of you!"

"Ask me, I'm very interested in police movies!"

The most important thing is that Shi Zhaoqi has acted in a lot of police and gangster films in recent years. This actor is a monk by the wayside and is a policeman himself. He accidentally made a guest appearance in a TV series and his true character is quite good, so many directors have asked him to play the role of a policeman. .

Over time, he became an actor. During this period, he came to China National Theater for further studies several times. Chang Li was his acting teacher.

"What are you asking about? Characters? Or what?"

Chang Li didn't understand what Chen Yu meant. Chen Yu thought for a while and said, "Director, I definitely want to ask who the director is!"

"You're not famous, little director!"

Chang Li smiled and said: "My surname is Gao, forget it, I didn't ask too much. If you are in this drama, I think you have a high chance of being cast in it, but the pay shouldn't be much, you look familiar!"

"Okay, then I... want this!"

Surname Gao?

There are not many directors with the surname Gao in this circle, and even fewer who make police movies.

Gao Qunshu!

This was the first thing that came to Chen Yu's mind, and he is the director of "Conquer"!

Chen Yu never expected that the filming of "Conquer" had not started yet. He always thought that it had already been filmed. After thinking about the timing, it seemed that this was indeed the case. Sun Honglei only took "Conquer" after he finished filming "Zhou Yu's Train". !

In the end, "Zhou Yu" failed to become a hit, but "Conquer" became an instant hit.

Take a gamble!

Chen Yu felt that there was an 80% chance that it was him, but he was not 100% sure.

If he is really a young director, Chen Yu should just tell Chang Li that he looks familiar.

"Are you...relieving me of my burden?"

Chang Li never expected that Chen Yu would choose the most inconspicuous opportunity; in fact, it was all a matter of her words. Many big directors came to choose actors for Chinese dramas, and Chang Li could recommend them.

Not to mention these small directors, if Chang Li says a few words, it will definitely be very powerful.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Chang Li quickly drew a note, then took out her address book and wrote down a series of mobile phone numbers.

Another phone call.

"Shi Zhaoqi and Xiaoshi's contact information. If you call him senior brother, just say I asked you to hit him!"

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Chang!"

Chen Yu almost took the note respectfully with both hands, making Chang Li smile. This child was quite respectful of his teachers.

I didn't see the wrong person.

"Let's go, let's go, I won't let you eat anymore, I'm so busy here that I don't even have time to rest!"

Snapped!

As soon as Chang Li straightened the landline phone receiver in front of her, the phone started ringing.

"Then Teacher Chang, I'm leaving first!"

Chen Yu bowed and took two steps back. Chang Li waved her hand, and Chen Yu turned around and walked out of the office.

After quickly arriving downstairs, Chen Yu took out his cell phone, took a long breath, pressed the number on the note, and called directly.

"Hello, who is it?"

A loud and familiar voice sounded, instantly matching the bald and rough Shi Zhaoqi in Chen Yu's mind.

"Hello, Senior Brother Shi, I am Teacher Chang's student——"

"Haha, hello, junior!"

"I have a friend here who has a new drama that needs a young actor. When are you free? Can we come out and meet him?"

Shi Zhaoqi smiled heartily.

Chen Yu hurriedly said: "I can do it at any time!"

"Then this afternoon, I will send the address to your mobile phone later!"

Shi Zhaoqi is quick to talk and very similar to the character he plays.

"Okay, okay, see you in the afternoon, senior brother!"

"See you in the afternoon. By the way, what's your name? I'll take note of it!"

"Chen Yu, Erdong Chen, those who are sick will be healed!"

"Chen Yu? Remember it, it's easy to remember, haha!"

With that said, Shi Zhaoqi hung up the phone.

Within a minute, Chen Yu received an address from him on his mobile phone. It could be seen that he was quite anxious.

"Roger that!"

"Senior brother, can I ask which director's new drama it is?"

"Gao Qunshu, do you know him?"

Shi Zhaoqi said jokingly, but he didn't expect Chen Yu to be very direct: "We know you!"

Jingle Bell!

This time Shi Zhaoqi called directly: "Do you really know him?"

"Well, I've seen his "Thirteen Murder Cases"!"

"Hahaha, that's easy. Come quickly and brag about his drama. Winning the role won't be a problem!"

"..."

Chen Yu has indeed seen Thirteen Murder Cases, but he can’t remember the plot clearly.

Anyway, it is about thirteen real murder cases. It is a drama that made Gao Qunshu famous in the industry. It received a good response in the imperial capital, and its ratings once exceeded CCTV's prime time.

Of course, there are too many TV series and movies that Gao Qunshu is famous for.

"Conquest", "Tokyo Judgment", "The Wind", "Western Wind"... this director's films still have strong personal characteristics.

"I don't know if it's Liu Huaqiang... If it's this role, then I'll do it!"

Liu Huaqiang and Chen Yu knew the strength of this underworld boss.

And the requirements for acting skills are also very high.

It can be said that it is more challenging than all the roles Chen Yu has taken before.

It's not easy to play a gangster boss well!
