Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 272 Role Trial

In the original 1988 work, the love relationship between the trio is also a major attraction, so this role cannot be chosen randomly.

After considering it, Chen Linfeng called Huang Xiaoming.

"Master Huang, how are you these days?

I have a role here, do you want to try it?"

Huang Xiaoming was playing with his friends. When he saw that it was Xiao Chen's call, he immediately made a gesture to tell others to keep quiet.

"Hey, it's a nickname given by the fans. Xiao Chen, you sound like you are making fun of me when you call me that."

When he heard about the new role, his eyes lit up.
"You finally called me once, so of course I will. Any role will do. Where are you now? I'll come over right now."

It seems that I can’t wait any longer.

Chen Linfeng thought about it and decided that it would be okay to chat now, so he said that he was at home and Yan could just come over.

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

After Huang Xiaoming hung up the phone, he saw a group of people staring at him. Their eyes were a little green and looked a little scary.

Zhao Yanzi, Chen Kun, Zhou Xun and others were present at the event. As the filming of Painted Skin was about to start, they gathered together to talk about the new movie. They were also friends, so they called each other out to communicate their feelings.

At this time, Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun had not yet fallen out over their status, and naturally Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming had not drifted apart because of the two actresses.

"Xiao Ming, is this Director Chen's call?"

"Yes, yes. Is he going to ask you to play a role?"

Since Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun were not very related, they could ask without any hesitation.

Chen Kun felt a little complicated. Any role that suits Huang Xiaoming would generally suit him as well.

This is Xiao Chen's drama. Just think about how popular Hu Ge is now just because he got in and played a supporting role. He is almost on par with these senior actors.

"My Love from the Stars" is a pure star-up machine. All the actors who played important roles in it have made great progress in their careers.

Considering that the quality of Xiao Chen's dramas has been extremely high since "The Tang Empire", and this new drama is Xiao Chen's first drama after winning the Golden Lion Award, you can imagine how much attention it has received.

In particular, there are rumors in the industry that after Chen Xiao finishes this drama, he may go straight to the big screen in the future.

As Xiao Chen's final work on the small screen, it is expected that it will be another masterpiece among masterpieces.

Even for an actor of his caliber, this is a rare opportunity.

Chen Kun couldn't hide his sourness when he said this, "That's great, Director Chen called me directly, I'm so envious."

Huang Xiaoming couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"It was Xiao Chen calling, saying he wanted me to try out for a role."

Thinking of this, he forced himself to calm down and said, "I don't know what role I will play yet, maybe it will be a false alarm.

Everyone, I have to excuse myself first."

After saying this, he bowed and was about to take his leave.

"Hey, don't go yet," Zhao Yanzi grabbed him.

"Don't forget to ask for us if there are any suitable roles when we get there. We can all take a pay cut to play them."

"Yeah, that's what I meant." Zhou Xun nodded repeatedly.

Chen Kun also looked at him expectantly, "Brother, I'm not picky, you can introduce me to the one left."

Everyone knows that establishing connection first is the most important thing.

The news that Xiao Chen is going to start a new drama is no secret in the industry. After all, it has to be registered with the higher authorities.

Moreover, some veteran actors have already been invited.

Everyone now knows a little bit about Xiao Chen's habit of selecting actors. He usually looks for people he has worked with before, or people he has had previous interactions with.

No one dared to disturb them, but they were eager to participate.

Huang Xiaoming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I still have to try to make it happen. If there is a suitable opportunity, I will speak up. If it doesn't work, don't blame me."

"No, no, as long as you do your best, Xiao Ming."

"Okay, that's it for now. See you later."

After Huang Xiaoming left, the group immediately became more talkative.

Zhou Xun said enviously, "Xiao Ming got lucky this time. Xiao Chen personally called to invite him. He must be no small figure."

"Yes, in the past, small roles were always contacted by his agent, Sister Mei."

Things are different now than before. Back then, Zhao Yanzi could still think about exchanging resources to make friends with Xiao Chen.

Now she has to pay attention to the movements of an agent. It is true that Xiao Chen is both a director and a producer, and he produces many good dramas. His power in promoting people is so strong that others cannot help but pay attention to him.

Sister Mei’s status has also risen with the times. Few people in the industry call her “Xiao Mei” like Chen Shantong does. Instead, everyone calls her “Sister Mei”.

After all, Xiao Chen calls everyone Sister Mei.

Chen Kun thought of the scene at the Bazaar dinner party where Huang Xiaoming took the initiative to help Xiao Chen out of trouble, and thought that maybe it was because of this that Xiao Chen remembered it.

No wonder Huang Xiaoming has done so well, his classmate is really good at getting along.

Zhao Yanzi thought of something at this moment, "Speaking of which, will Xiao Chen's brother appear in this drama? It seems that Xiao Long didn't participate in Xiao Chen's dramas in the past, and he only played supporting roles."

Chen Kun said, "I don't know. Who can say for sure? Xiaolong had a good career in the past. I heard that Xiaochen would help with the planning of any play he was cast in. He had a very smooth journey."

Zhou Xun was a little envious. For someone like her who worked hard on her own, it was hard for her to imagine what it felt like to have family members supporting her from behind.

“After a while, when I join the crew, I can ask. Even if I don’t act, I’m sure I’ll know something.

In the final analysis, we only know that Xiao Chen likes to use old people, and we don’t know if there are any other rules.”

"That's right." The other two nodded.

On the other side, Huang Xiaoming rushed to Chen Linfeng's new home.

After the Bazaar show ended, Xiao Chen said he wanted to invite a few of the young men to get together and chat, and later they had a barbecue at his new home.

So he was not unfamiliar with this place.

After entering the room, Huang Xiaoming first thanked the nanny who opened the door, and then asked, "Excuse me, which room is Director Xiao Chen in? I'll go find him."

"It's the study. You can just go there. The master told me you were coming."

After walking a few steps in, he found a cat looking at him with its head tilted and sniffing twice, as if it had recognized this rare two-legged beast.

Huang Xiaoming knew this beautiful calico cat. He had seen it before when he came here for a party.

I think his name is Xiaoyun Miao?
He squatted down, tried to say hello, and touched her twice.

However, Little Yun Miao took two steps back as if facing a formidable enemy, and then started meowing inside.

"Is someone coming?" Chen Linfeng walked out of the study.

He saw Huang Xiaoming squatting, looking a little embarrassed, and couldn't help laughing.
"Before, I was too busy, so I had been leaving Xiao Yun Miao at home. The cat got wild while playing at home. I don't know which dog it learned this from, but now it starts barking when it sees strangers."

"This cat has quite a personality." Huang Xiaoming smiled awkwardly.

"Brother Xiao Ming is here pretty quickly, come in, let's talk inside."

"As soon as I received the call, I rushed here, fearing that if I was late, there would be no chance of success."

"It's not that exaggerated."

Chen Linfeng led people to the study to get the script, and then went to the practice room.

"The script breakdown is already done. Take a look at this personal script first."

Huang Xiaoming took the script with both hands and read it carefully.

Before he could watch for too long, Chen Linfeng asked, "Do you have a general idea of ​​the character?"

Huang Xiaoming nodded, "Basically clear."

"Talk about it."

"This Wang Yuan is a chess player with an introverted personality. Judging from the previous content, he should be the kind of person who is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside and considerate of others."

At this point, he asked tentatively, "Director Chen, is the prototype of the character you designed the chess master Nie Weiping?"

Chen Linfeng nodded and said, "It's one of the prototypes."

Huang Xiaoming felt more confident and continued,
“If I were to play this role, on the one hand, I would have to highlight the simple personality of the bygone era, and on the other hand, I would have to act gentle and quiet while showing good interaction with the heroine.

......"

Chen Linfeng thought to himself that Huang Xiaoming had a strong ability to understand the role and basically everything he said was on point.

No wonder he was able to hold his own against some veteran actors in his previous life.

"You're right. The female lead has been confirmed to be Shu Chang. She's almost 10 years younger than you. Can you show some interactivity?"

Huang Xiaoming thought about it carefully and nodded seriously, "Makeup can solve part of the problem. I will also work hard on the action design later."

As he spoke, he made slight adjustments and tried a few gestures and expressions that showed the spirit and vigor of some people in the last century.

It has a bit of that flavor.

Huang Xiaoming does have an advantage in this regard. After all, he actually experienced the 90s. He was a teenager at that time, and it is the time that he remembers most vividly.

Chen Linfeng was quite satisfied with his performance.

"Okay, go back and prepare. I want to see the results. Take the script back and read it slowly. Don't leak it."

"Okay, I know." Huang Xiaoming showed his joy. What this meant was that if there were no accidents, it would basically be settled.

A person of his status would not be treated unfairly by ordinary directors.

Chen Linfeng pointed out deliberately, “Brother Xiaoming, your acting in some of your previous roles was a bit too oily, you need to pay attention to that.

This character cannot have any self-righteous feeling, and any traces of his previous role as Wei Xiaobao must be completely erased."

Huang Xiaoming was a little embarrassed. This was the first time someone pointed this out to him in person.

But he also knew that Xiao Chen was someone who would talk, so after thinking about it carefully, he nodded and said, "I understand. I will pay attention to it when I prepare later."

After his role was basically confirmed, he also did not forget to ask if others had any chances.

Chen Linfeng rejected it, "The female roles are basically full, and the remaining male roles cannot be too handsome. Chen Kun is really not suitable."

Huang Xiaoming felt a little regretful, but at the same time secretly glad.

Fortunately, he got the role in advance, otherwise even if he heard the news and asked actively, he might not have had a chance.

Huang Xiaoming didn't stay long and went back with the script.

When I went out, I ran into Liu Qianqian in the yard. She had obviously just parked the car and was about to walk into the villa.

He was a little surprised, but also felt it was natural.

Huang Xiaoming is one of the few people who knows the relationship between Xiao Chen and Liu Qianqian. Since they are a couple, it is common for them to meet in private.

He nodded, not wanting to say anything more.
It’s better to keep a distance from the boss’ girlfriend.

After Huang Xiaoming returned, he immediately closed his circle of friends, stopped answering calls, and focused on preparing for the role.

It can be seen from the script in hand that even if this character is not the protagonist, it is almost the same.

It can be said that this will be another extremely important drama for him after "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes", and he must prepare carefully.
