The script is called "Mandarin Duck and Hairpin".
The protagonist is named Li Yin, and lives in seclusion in the mountains with his parents and younger brother. When he was thirteen years old, Li Yin's parents re-entered the rivers and lakes for some reason. Several months later, Li's father disappeared.
Mother Li took two brothers to look for the whereabouts of her father. On the way, Mother Li was killed by an unknown person. Before she died, she only said three words—Yuanyangchai.
Li Yin took his younger brother Li Gui all the way to find clues about Yuanyangchai, intending to avenge his mother. During this process, they made friends with many heroes of the rivers and lakes. Of course, there were also enemies who could destroy the two brothers with just a few fingers. swordsman.
Romance, love and hatred.
Ten years later, when they went through all kinds of hardships and finally found the most important clue of the mandarin duck hairpin, the two brothers discovered to their astonishment that the mandarin duck hairpin that was rumored to be able to determine the general trend of the world was just the ordinary mandarin duck hairpin that their mother randomly inserted in their temples every day. Ordinary silver hairpin.
The silver hairpin was inserted between the temples of their mother and they buried it in the tomb.
The script ends here abruptly, and the end of the story is a scene where Li Yin and his younger brother bow down to their mother.
Although this younger brother has a close relationship with Li Yin, the script mainly focuses on the protagonist, and the younger brother's role is not as much as that of an ordinary little boss. What's more, the younger brother's character is cold-hearted and indifferent, which is similar to the medical saint played by Zhen Yuanshan. If he takes such a role again, it will be difficult to open up his future drama.
Xu Jinyi didn't like such a role either, he didn't want to play this younger brother, but that elder brother Li Yin.
It's not just because Li Yin is the protagonist, but Li Yin is a character of flesh and blood, who looks cold and hard, but actually has deep tenderness towards his family, his lover, his country, and the world.
It was precisely because of this contradiction in Li Yin's character that Xu Jinyi became interested in this character.
On the day of the audition, Wang Mei personally drove to pick up Xu Jinyi.
"Sister Wang, I don't want to play Li Gui."
"Why?" Xu Jinyi said firmly, as if he had made a decision without saying hello to her manager, but Wang Mei couldn't hate those serious black pupils.
"Li Gui is too similar to the medical sage in the previous script. I was already popular because of the medical sage. If I play Li Gui again, I will only have this kind of image in the future."
Of course Wang Mei also understands this truth, but Zhang Ru's signature is really attractive, a small role has dozens of popular youngsters with good acting skills vying for the first place. Zhen Yuanshan's qualifications are still young, looking at the characters in "Mandarin Duck and Hairpin", only Li Gui, who has a personality similar to the medical saint, has the chance to succeed in the audition.
other roles? It's not that Wang Mei doesn't believe in Zhen Yuanshan. No matter how talented he is, his acting skills are still quite immature. If he is compared in the same field, he will be instantly killed by those actors who have acted for many years.
As for the possible narrowing of the play path, it is nothing compared to him being able to use the gold-plated signature of Director Zhang.
Wang Mei rubbed the steering wheel, "Then which character do you like?"
Xu Jinyi smiled confidently, "Li Yin."
Wang Mei stepped hard, and the nanny car slammed to a stop, "What? Li Yin? Do you know how many first-line big names are waiting in line to audition for this role? Among them, the old actors who have been in the theater for more than 20 years are caught one by one. It’s a lot. You haven’t learned acting for two months, and you’ve only played one role in total. In front of those old actors... You—you really dare to think!”
He almost hit Xu Jinyi with the words "overreaching one's abilities".
Xu Jinyi was not depressed because of Wang Mei's words, nor was he dissatisfied with Wang Mei's tone, not only in Wang Mei's heart, but also in the original Zhen Yuanshan's heart. Not enough.
"Sister Wang, I know I'm a little bit overbearing, but I really like this role. If I can really be selected by Director Zhang, then I have earned it. If I can't be selected, I don't lose anything. After working hard once, I will win the role." There will be no regrets."
"You—well, you've got a big idea now, and I can't control you anymore, but I can't make up my mind about this matter, so I have to talk to Mr. Xu." Xu Jinyi's eyes were dark and firm, and Wang Mei somehow turned Swallowing back the words of rejection that came to her lips, she shook her head and dialed Xu Hongzhong's phone number.
"Sister Wang, pay attention to safety, you are still driving." Xu Jinyi pointed to the many vehicles on the road.
"Nothing will happen, your sister Wang and I are much better at driving than your acting skills." Wang Mei didn't even look at him, she just stared at the front of the road, but she didn't say a word, and told Xu Jinyi all about her plan Xu Hongzhong.
After Xu Hongzhong's ups and downs all these years, the pattern in his chest is bigger than Wang Mei's. Since Zhen Yuanshan has this intention, then try hard, the worst result is not being selected and wasting an audition opportunity.
Xu Jinyi was finally satisfied, picked up the script and looked through the comments he had written in the past two days.
Although Xu Jinyi has never been an actor, but in the mall, what expression he should put on the face of what competitor he meets in what project also depends on his acting skills. If you really compare it, that kind of complete free play is much more difficult than acting.
What's more, he has really lived in ancient times for decades. If anyone in this world pretends to be an ancient person, he is ranked second. Who dares to rank first
After reading the script for half a day, he already had a rough idea of the most difficult scene to perform. He also pondered over these scenes at home and practiced them more than once. Xu Jinyi was very satisfied with his acting skills, and he was confident about this audition.
The grand occasion of the audition field can only be described as a sea of people.
Because Li Yin is the protagonist of the film, the most people auditioned for this role. When Li Yin took the number plate, he took a look around and found that almost all the people who came to audition for Li Yin were well-known or even well-known front-line people.
It was almost a very abrupt thing for Xu Jinyi, a relatively new face, to receive the number plate. But those big names didn't show any surprise when they saw him. They looked away normally, or went to exchange feelings with the big names on the left and right, or picked up the script and continued to grind.
Sure enough, they are the big names, this character is the invincible magic weapon for them to reach their current position.
The people in front left one by one, Xu Jinyi waited patiently for three hours, and finally it was his turn.
Xu Jinyi pushed open the door of the director's office, and immediately a person held a box and asked him to draw lots. The note contained exactly the scenes he needed to act in front of the director and producers.
As soon as he opened the note, Xu Jinyi secretly smiled in his heart. As expected, this scene was exactly the one he had rehearsed many times at home in the past two days.
Li Yin has been chasing the clues of Yuanyangchai for many years, and accidentally discovers that the father of his sweetheart Liu Rumeng indirectly caused his disappearance.
Because of the disappearance of his father, the death of his mother happened later. It can be said that Liu Rumeng's father indirectly caused the disintegration of their family.
Although Li Yin was reluctant to keep his lover relationship with Liu Rumeng, he made a decision right away: break up with Liu Rumeng.
Otherwise, he would feel sorry for his father who had raised him for more than ten years, and his mother who dragged the enemy with her body to let the two brothers run away when they were being hunted down.
When Liu Rumeng got his father's sinful debts back then, even though he didn't like what his father did, he pleaded for his father in front of Li Yin, who was already a peerless swordsman.
Li Yin nodded.
When Liu Rumeng Lihua asked Li Yin to elope with her and not care about the grievances between her parents, Li Yin decided to break up.
What Xu Jinyi was asked to perform on this note was the scene of Li Yin resolutely breaking up.
Xu Jinyi nodded towards the director, and when the staff said the beginning, he suddenly straightened his back, clenched one hand into a fist, and raised the other about a fist in front of his waist, as if he was holding something.
After entering the door, Xu Jinyi, who was elegant and dignified like a son of a family, was not favored by the director at first. Li Yin was not a son of a family. He was like a sword in his hand, hard and cold.
But in the second after the staff said, Xu Jinyi, who looked like a gentleman, seemed to suddenly become another person. Not only his gaze, but also his facial features and muscles froze instantly, as if he had been carved thousands of knives by a carving knife It seems hard, like a sword that has been hammered thousands of times.
This person is Li Yin in the book!
"His hand?"
"Holding the sword!" The assistant director sitting on the edge exclaimed, and five or six people immediately focused their attention on his hand. The size of the seam is not the width of a sword hilt.
Not only the hand that was clenched into a fist, but even the other hand that seemed to be holding a sword tightly was bursting with veins. It seemed, it seemed that Li Yin was drawing strength from that sword.
"let's breakup."
A condensed voice suddenly sounded, and the director's eyes widened, staring directly at Xu Jinyi who was performing.
If you don't listen carefully, you won't be able to hear the emotional ups and downs when this person utters these four words, but directors have been working in this industry for many years, and their ears are straight from beginning to end. When this person said the word "I", his tone was slightly more stabbed than the following three words, as if the word was stifled from his chest.
The last three words have lost the slightest hint of sensuality. They are flat and emotionless, as if they are reading words in front of a book.
It was the first word that came out of the chest, and the last three words that were emotionless as if reading a notice, that made the directors' eyes shine.
After Xu Jinyi finished speaking, he tilted his head very naturally, as if he was listening to Liu Rumeng's speech, but after a moment, he abruptly retracted his head, as if to cover up his body's habitual closeness and care for Liu Rumeng .
Looking at this person's gaze, he didn't look directly at the director, nor did he lower his head like some big names who just left, as if they were looking at his sweetheart Liu Rumeng. The man's gaze fell in front of him vaguely, as if he was gradually losing focus, but at the same time seemed to be concentrating on it.
Xu Jinyi raised his free hand and pulled it to the back of his body, as if he was pulling back the corner of his clothes that Liu Rumeng was pinching.
"Let's break up!" This time, there was an unquestionable determination in his tone, and after he finished speaking, he turned to one side and walked forward over Liu Rumeng in front of him.
When Liu Rumeng was left behind, Xu Jinyi's eyes seemed to turn red. After a while, he held his sword tightly and stepped forward firmly.
Obviously the person in front of him was wearing the most common shirt and jeans, but as he walked step by step, the taste of simplicity came over his face. The examiners seem to have seen an ancient chivalrous man in a long gown, with a proud figure, dancing vigorously with a cape, and walking around the rivers and lakes with a sword.
Suddenly, this person's footsteps stopped, and suddenly he became the noble son before, and the ancient meaning disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Unfinished business.
The directors and the producers looked at each other with joy in their eyes.
This person is Li Yin!
