Lu Congwu wanted to make Tang Bohu a few years ago, but as Xia Shaoqian said, this film made people feel "not a blockbuster" at first glance. At any time, classical and sentimental elements are not as popular as fresh and exciting elements. Originally, Lu Congwu had no hope of getting investment. He didn't want to follow the fantasy theme of the year before last when he filmed Liao Zhai's Infant Ning.
So Tang Bohu's preparations for the shooting became smooth.
Cheng Yan tried two characters, one was Tang Bohu's friend, Xu Jing who was also implicated in the imperial examination fraud case, and the other was a fictional fellow from the same township—it was this character who falsely accused Tang Bohu of bribing examiners to buy money out of jealousy. exam questions.
Cheng Yan felt that both of his performances were good. Xu Jing was born in a rich family, he is refined, relatively simple, easy to deal with. The fictional fellow countryman is even more interesting. He and Tang Bohu are close friends. At first, he was only envious of Tang Bohu's talent and Xu Jing's wealth. This envy gradually turned into jealousy, and finally drove him to frame Tang Bohu.
As soon as he went out to the corridor, he saw He Linyuan hurried into the elevator, and he didn't have time to go up to say hello. Several years ago, he did a match for He Linyuan, but he lost contact with him afterwards. Looking at it from a distance now, He Linyuan's plain face, which is not under the camera, seems to be the same as before, and his usual look is a bit melancholy.
Lu Congwu chose him probably because he fell in love with He Linyuan's inexplicable bleak temperament - this is indeed rare in the entertainment circle where everyone likes to appear happy.
Watching He Linyuan leave, Fang Fang couldn't help being nympho: "He Linyuan is really handsome..."
Cheng Yan was in a good mood and teased her: "Is he handsome or am I handsome?"
"What makes He Linyuan so exciting is the feeling on his body," Fangfang said bluntly, "Looking at you every day, I'm completely numb and can't feel anything."
Cheng Yan just laughed.
A few days later, Tang Bohu's crew really contacted him again, and this time it was a makeup audition.
Cheng Yan went to let the stylist do the styling, and try again. This time Lu Congwu appointed him to test the fictional character Zhao Xu. Cheng Yan knew that this matter was likely to be accomplished.
During the audition, I played a few small parts. There is no line in the last paragraph, but he picked up a piece of Tang Bohu's random article, was amazed at a glance, quickly folded it up and put it in his sleeve, then took it out of his sleeve and read it carefully, gradually showing loss and unwillingness, finally Crumple up the paper and throw it into the brazier.
This is the end of Director Lu's lecture to Cheng Yan, and the act of "throwing paper" is over. But after Cheng Yan finished throwing away, he still stared at the non-existent brazier, in a daze, as if he waited until the ball of paper was burnt to ashes before his eyes suddenly came to his senses.
"You..." Director Lu hesitated, "You have spiritual energy."
Cheng Yan couldn't figure out what Director Lu was hesitating about, so he smiled shyly: "Thank you."
Director Lu whispered a few words to the executive director next to him, and asked Cheng Yan to take off his makeup and go back to wait for news.
Cheng Yan just took off his makeup and changed his clothes. Fang Fang came over with a surprised face: "I saw Ouyang Zhiyi!"
"Ah?" Cheng Yan was also dumbfounded.
"He entered the single dressing room next door, and he seems to have seen me..." Fang Fang looked at Cheng Yan's face, "They all belong to the same company, do you want to go over and say hello?"
Ouyang is two years older than Cheng Yan, but the career gap between the two is too great. When Cheng Yan was still working on the set after graduation, Ouyang was already well-known. After that, he rose all the way, and when he was less than 30 years old, the company was automatically crowned king.
When he had a job-hopping quarrel with the company last year, the media stared at it every day, and several other male actors from the company, including Cheng Yan and Shen Leming, were fired—predicting who will occupy the company's first place after Ouyang quits. A chair. But in the end the company appeased Ouyang and signed the contract for another three years.
Cheng Yan packed up his things and knocked on the door next door.
"Enter!"
As soon as Cheng Yan entered, he saw Ouyang wearing a costume. Wearing a square flat scarf on his head, wearing a water blue straight gown, and two jade ornaments hanging around his waist.
After exchanging pleasantries, Ouyang opened his arms to ask Cheng Yan's opinion: "How is it?"
"It fits well." Cheng Yan replied truthfully.
Not only fit, but also very chic. It's almost as if it was tailor-made for Ouyang.
Seeing this, there is still something I don't understand-whether He Linyuan can play Tang Bohu may have some twists and turns. Although both of them have acting skills, popularity, and company, but apart from acting skills, Ouyang surpasses He Linyuan in the latter two.
Cheng Yan analyzed the situation rationally.
In fact, even if the cast is announced, it can still be changed, and it is not certain until the moment the filming starts. It would be normal if Ouyang really beat He Linyuan.
On the way back, Fangfang was still immersed in the joy of seeing Ouyang Zhiyi at close range: "It really is the king of heaven..."
"I really like him so much, I'll let you go with him tomorrow." Cheng Yan said suddenly.
Fangfang smiled: "What's the matter? I don't have any other intentions. Zhu Er and I got through it, and after listening to it, I feel that some people can maintain their beauty by looking at it from a distance."
Cheng Yan was silent.
Rumors spread during the dinner, and Tang Bohu sure enough had fixed Ouyang Zhiyi. Ouyang Zhiyi also said on Weibo "One Ouyang" that "there will be good news in the near future". Cheng Yan thought about seeing He Linyuan's melancholy appearance last week, maybe he was really melancholy at that time.
Cheng Yan felt that he was going to be depressed too.
When Xia Shaoqian called, he was a little lazy and couldn't get up the energy to deal with it.
"How was the audition today?"
"It's pretty good, maybe it will work." He was very happy to play an important supporting role before, but now thinking of Ouyang Zhiyi's complacent look in the dressing room, he is bored.
Xia Shaoqian asked gently again: "What's the matter? It doesn't sound very happy, you don't want this role anymore?"
Cheng Yan snorted weakly: "No... It's just that He Lin Yuan would play the leading role, but he changed suddenly."
"The person who changed is not good at acting? Will it affect you?"
"no… "
"I see." Xia Shaoqian's voice suddenly became serious.
"Know what?" Cheng Yanshun asked.
There was a pause on the phone, and then came Xia Shaoqian's gentle, seductive voice: "Director Lu's substitutions give you room to imagine, since you can replace He Linyuan with Ouyang Zhiyi, maybe you also have a chance to replace Ouyang Know one."
Cheng Yan was disappointed, and responded casually: "How is it possible, that's Ouyang Zhiyi."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly woke up and turned over from the sofa.
Xia Shaoqian smiled: "Your company asked for my help to squeeze out He Linyuan. If I want to replace Ouyang, I can probably do it."
Cheng Yan only felt a chill in his chest.
"As long as you ask me." Xia Shaoqian's tone was still gentle.
Cheng Yan suddenly thought of the word "good" by the pool that day, and he finally understood what the word "good" meant.
