Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 338

In November, Alibaba’s publicity was everywhere.

Newspapers, radio stations, bus stops, the Internet. The concepts of "Singles' Day" and "Shopping Festival" have impacted every corner like brainwashing.

Even Zhen Hao deliberately smashed the piggy bank and decided to choose gifts for the young ladies.

But because I had no account and no online banking, I had to give up.

However, this kindness was "inadvertently" known to the young ladies, who were moved and fed.

Compared with Zhen Hao's "stream of consciousness gift-giving", his daughter Duoduo is completely different.

"Dad, Duoduo has prepared a surprise for you!"

"Oh, really?" Zhen Jiecheng asked cheerfully into his phone, "Duoduo, can you tell Dad what the surprise is?"

"No! Duoduo won't tell me! If I tell you, it won't be a surprise anymore!"

"Then Dad will come to see you in a few days, and then witness the surprise that Duoduo has prepared, okay?"

"Great!"

He chatted on the phone with his daughter for a long time until Sun Li urged the little girl to take a nap. Only then did he stop the father-daughter affection and continue with the work at hand.

"dududu~"

"Hey, Sister Hua, you will connect with Guo Fan later."

"Which actor does Guo Fan want to audition for? You are responsible for notifying them."

Compared to Jing Tian's smooth promotion to business director, even if his achievements were mediocre, they were too impressive.

Guo Fan's reputation is far worse.

The Adventures of Li Xianji did receive some positive reviews and made a splash in the box office market. However, with more than 11 films that grossed over million yuan emerging in the mainland box office in , Guo Fan, no matter how much he was known as a "surprise newcomer", was just like everyone else.

Therefore, in order to avoid senior actors, especially those who are deeply rooted in drama, from hesitating due to concerns about the director's ability and the quality of the film.

Zhen Jiecheng added:
"Reveal the production team of Guo Fan's new work in advance, and report the names of Lao Ji, Lao Li, and Lao Cao! Oh, and Mr. Zhao Jiping, he will be responsible for the music for the post-production!"

"In addition, after a few key actors are confirmed, other roles will be auditioned for Guo Fan in the name of Jiecheng Films."

"In a word: It's okay to fill the place with people, but it's better to have fewer people than too many!"

"Tell Guo Fan that if you don't like someone, don't force it. No matter who the other person is, just refuse them."

"Don't worry about the amount of North! It's OK in normal times. Don't bother with the acting department when you're doing serious things. They're used to it a long time ago. It doesn't matter!"

"Okay Director Zhen, I'll do it!"

On the other end of the phone, Sister Hua nodded and threw all the actor information sheets that she had intended to recommend to Guo Fan into the trash can.

It is normal to seek benefits for new talents signed by the company, but what is the situation with the scores?

Zhen Jiecheng attaches so much importance to his students that only if we serve them well can we expect benefits in the future.

As a well-known agent in the domestic entertainment industry, Sister Hua was very decisive in her work. She quickly completed the meeting with Guo Fan and recorded all the requirements.

Soon, invitations came out one after another, making the already bustling entertainment industry even more lively.

"Wow! All the royal team members are here, even Jing Tian doesn't get this treatment!"

"Isn't that nonsense? Guo Fan is enjoying the same treatment as Jie Lun! It's just that one is a puppet, while the other is being fully trained."

"Why? Do you have any inside information?"

"Hehe, a little bit. My brother's ex's ex's stepfather got first-hand information. It is said that Director Zhen made it clear: 'No posting, no visiting.' He clearly wanted to avoid his reputation affecting the students, for fear that Guo Fan would be labeled as 'Lu Chuan'."

"Lu Chuan? Tsk tsk tsk, this person is so unlucky! I guess if Guo Fan's work is successful, the first thing he will do is to step on Lu Chuan to celebrate!"

"Hahaha! No need to 'guess', it must be! Just look at Jing Tian and you will know, he has shaped Lu Chuan into a unit of measurement."

There is a lot of heated discussion and ongoing debate.

Then there was fierce competition for roles, which made Guo Fan, a newcomer who had just finished his virgin film, get the treatment of a top director in the industry. He was greeted with smiles everywhere and was admired by many people wherever he went. All kinds of flattering respect came one after another.

"How is it, senior brother? Do you feel good?" Jing Tian asked with a smile, showing her two iconic dimples.

"Fun?" Guo Fan rolled his eyes. "I'm so annoyed."

"Also, why are you here if you're not working on your new script?"

"Can't I come?" Jing Tian pouted, "Brother, are you tired of me? Did you and senior accept a new little sister without telling me? So love can be transferred, right, brother?"

Guo Fan: ヽ(ー_ー)ノ

"Puchi~" Seeing Guo Fan's speechless and bitter face, Jing Tian finally couldn't help it and burst into laughter.

"Okay, Senior Brother, I won't tease you anymore!"

"A few days ago, I followed the instructions of my senior and brought an actor from Yunnan Province to Beijing."

"The senior said that he should play the role of the murderer."

As he spoke, Jing Tian blinked his big eyes, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Good fellow! Even Deng Chao had to go through the audition process, and he needed your final nod before he could officially get the role."

"This actor was actually chosen internally. No, he was personally appointed by the senior! He even specially gave me a heads up!"

"The problem is that the murderer he plays is just a minor supporting role!"

Close your head,

"Brother, do you know? After this actor came to Beijing yesterday, the senior personally received him and chatted with him for a long time."

"Are you curious?"

"Tiantian! Just tell me what you want to do. Isn't it enough that I will agree to it?" Guo Fan scratched his head, "Don't beat around the bush with me!"

"Hey, brother, he's on his way here now. I asked my assistant to pick him up. He'll be here soon. Let's try out a scene later. I want to see it!" Jing Tian held up his chin. "I still don't believe it. It's just an interrogation scene. Can it be performed like a flower?"

Wang Yanhui never imagined that an unknown drama actor like himself, who occasionally acted in a film or TV series, would be noticed by a world-class director.

For this purpose, he specifically called Cao Baoping to inquire.

Four years ago, Wang Yanhui played the role of Xiong Laosan in "The Glory of Fury", which was his first time on the big screen. After his acting skills were favored by Cao Baoping, he was taken to star in "Li Mi's Conjecture" the following year.

But when Wang Yanhui learned that Cao Baoping, who was also a professor at the Beijing Film Academy, had not recommended him to his junior and colleague Zhen Jiecheng, he became even more puzzled. Could it be that Deng Chao and Zhou Xun had recommended him?
Yes! It should be!
Deng Chao is the top artist of Jiecheng Film and Television. Whenever Zhou Xun mentions "Li Mi's Conjecture" in recent years, he never forgets to give himself high praise.

So much so that Wang Yanhui often joked about himself: As long as I have a little fame in the film and television industry, on the one hand it is due to the support of Director Cao, and on the other hand it is because of Brother Xun’s praise!
Thinking of this, Wang Yanhui calmed himself down, after all, he was going to meet the director soon.

Although he didn't understand why a small supporting role had to be so formal! Ever since he received the call from the Yunnan Provincial Drama Troupe, Wang Yanhui has been dizzy.

It was my first time flying first class in my life, and I went directly to Jiecheng Film and Television after getting off the plane.

I chatted with the big director for a long time without knowing what was going on, and signed the artist contract without knowing what was going on.

After sleeping for a night in the hotel, I got into the nanny car in a daze.

Forget it! Whatever you want! Can you sell me? Even if you sell me, I can't afford such a nice car!
Wang Yanhui relaxedly leaned back in the chair. Hmm! So stable! So soft!

"Director Jing, Director Guo, hello, I am actor Wang Yanhui."

"Senior! You haven't joined the team yet, so there's no need to be so formal!" Jing Tian squeezed out her sweet dimples without thinking, and launched a wave of succubus skills first.

Yes, that's right. Wang Yanhui also has connections with Beijing Film Academy. In 94, he got the opportunity to study at Beijing Film Academy. So it was reasonable for Jing Tian, ​​who was in the acting department of his undergraduate program, to call him "senior".

With Jing Tian around, Guo Fan basically doesn't have to worry about the ways of the world, as his junior sister takes care of everything.

As expected, Jing Tian transitioned from enthusiastic conversation to work with perfect rhythm, and soon handed the script of "Burning Sun" to Wang Yanhui.

While Wang Yanhui was pondering his lines, Guo Fan opened his computer and briefly looked up the actor's information.

Wow! Was he this handsome when he was young?

Guo Fan's eyes widened. He could not equate the greasy middle-aged man with a face full of flesh with the emperor in "The Corrupt Official Heshen".

Well, if you analyze it carefully, there is still some connection between the eyebrows and eyes. But the problem is that the difference before and after is too big!
As we all know, there are many handsome guys! But the one who can handle a bald head is the real handsome guy!
Yunyi graduated? Not bad.

Do you work in the Yunnan Provincial Drama Troupe? That's fine. There are no weaklings on the drama stage! For those who have worked in the drama troupe for many years, it is a basic requirement to be above the standard.

Seeing this, Guo Fan immediately closed the webpage and began to look forward to it.

"Director Jing, Director Guo, I'm ready."

"OK! Let's start!" Guo Fan nodded, "I'll pass you the lines!"

"Ok!"

After the voice fell, Wang Yanhui closed his eyes.

He opened his eyes again and slightly adjusted his sitting position. His face full of flesh seemed to come alive.

Under the natural slanting light from the window, Jing Tian trembled inexplicably before she even opened her mouth, and subconsciously moved closer to Guo Fan.

The dead memories begin to revive!
I once went to the National Theatre of China with Liu Yifei and was trained by teacher Feng Yuanzheng.

I was once on the set of "Taken", where I was guided into the role by teacher Hou Tianlai.

Compared with the previous two, this time the conditioned reflex was even more severe.

Hiss! Is there another expert?

"Teacher! Where did you find this expert? He's too strong!" Guo Fan smacked his lips, "No! Not just strong! He's fierce, ridiculously fierce!"

"Senior, why don't you investigate? Don't let him really kill someone!" Jing Tian was still terrified. "When my senior's movie is finished and he is arrested, it will be troublesome. We have to cut it or reshoot it, otherwise it won't be able to be released."

"Don't talk nonsense, that's just good acting!" Zhen Jiecheng laughed, "After the broadcast of 'Don't Talk to Strangers', wasn't Feng Yuanzheng suspected of domestic violence by his old colleagues, neighbors, and even his own mother-in-law?"

"Senior, that's different!" Jing Tian still insisted, "Teacher Feng's performance is 'not acting', this one is 'real life'! Senior, believe me! I'm a woman, my sixth sense is very accurate!"

"Forget it! You have a shitty sixth sense! You can only fool Xixi with your brain at best. Oh, and there's also Old Bao." Zhen Jiecheng pouted in disdain, "One is old, and the other is stupid. The old one is just a child, and the stupid one is needless to say, he's no different from a child."

"In conclusion, next time you go out to a banquet, remember to know your position, be more conscious, and sit at the table with the elementary school students!"

Jing Tian: (T ^ T)
He ignored the angry Jing Tian and turned his gaze to his apprentice.

"How about this actor I found for you? Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied! Too satisfied." Guo Fan was excited at first, but it lasted less than half a second before he immediately frowned and said with a wry smile, "Teacher, let me be honest with you. You've given me a difficult problem!"

“This guy is so awesome! Even though it’s just an interrogation scene, I can already tell that it will definitely amaze all the audiences!”

"I know, this is a good thing! But if it's too good, there will be problems."

"It will disrupt the overall balance and create a split. It will divert the audience's attention and make it difficult to distinguish between the primary and secondary."

"It's hard for me to imagine how the actors of other roles would have to perform in order to make this interrogation scene the highlight of the whole play instead of stealing the show!"

"That's your problem. You are the director!" Zhen Jiecheng lit a cigarette and relaxed on the sofa. "Selecting actors and training them are all part of the director's job. Are you going to throw the baby out with the bathwater just because Wang Yanhui is too good? That doesn't make sense!"

"Besides, I plan to send this movie to Europa League. Even if Wang Yanhui is not here, isn't it right to strive for excellence?"

Zhen Jiecheng understands Guo Fan's troubles very well. In the previous life's "The Sun Also Rises", even though Deng Chao contributed what may be the highest level of his career and Duan Yihong also tried his best to perform, when Wang Yanhui appeared, the audience's attention was instantly sucked in!
He only made a two-minute cameo appearance but stole the show from three movie emperors. This is completely unique in the domestic entertainment industry!

"Teacher! I want to expand the casting range and think about it again!" Guo Fan gritted his teeth.

"no problem!"

"Teacher, I want to expand the scope to include the drama circle. You know, some seniors have long since stopped planning to appear on screen. Some others simply continue to perform on the drama stage."

"Sure!" Zhen Jiecheng nodded, "I can help you."

In the acting industry, drama is at the top of the contempt chain, and the old generation of drama actors once had a rule not to take on film and television dramas.

Similar to some mathematicians in the scientific community who emphasize "maintaining the purity of mathematics", they not only despise applied mathematics such as economics and finance, resist cooperation, but even despise physics.

"Teacher, I'm fine then! I'll get back to work!"

"Go!" Zhen Jiecheng waved his hand.

He withdrew his expectant gaze and replaced it with a roll of eyes.

"Why are you still here? Is it not enough for you to be filial to Old Bao? Do you want to bring me, a depressed person, to your project to relax and recuperate?"

"No way!" Jing Tian said as he stood up and walked forward.

His attention was first attracted by the promotional documents for the upcoming "Joker", but soon his eyes fell on a new script and he did not move.

"Senior, this is..."
