Zheng Baozhu was still on his way to the hotel.
The place to meet the group is usually in a hotel, but in addition to the main creative staff, there will be other actors who will be interviewed. There will be a lot of people, so there is nothing to be afraid of. However, Wang Jingyi still asked her to post a position after she arrived on the set, just in case.
Zheng Baozhu watched the web drama directed by Gao Boyun in the past two days. Although it seemed that the shooting was a little immature, she liked his camera movement very much. Gao Boyun's last web drama was also the subject of martial arts. He seems to love martial arts and like the kind of pleasure and grievances of the children of the rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes under his camera also showed the kind of chivalry he likes. If he can play normally in this drama, the picture can at least be guaranteed to be good-looking.
But the core of the TV series is the script. Although "New Moon Asks the Heart Sword" has the base of the original book, there are a lot of magically modified crews now, especially this kind of drama with many remakes. Everyone hopes to be able to shoot something new.
Zheng Baozhu only has the script related to her audition role, and she doesn't know what the whole script looks like, but the only part of the script is well written.
The role she is fighting for today is Ye Ling, the first character with a surname she has come into contact with for so long. In the original novel of "New Moon Asking Heart Sword", Ye Ling was a goddess doctor who saved the male protagonist who fell off a cliff from serious injuries, and had a good impression of him. The male protagonist lost his memory after falling off the cliff, and temporarily forgot the deep blood feud he carried on his body, and the time he spent with Ye Ling in the mountains was the most relaxing and purest day for him. After regaining his memory, the male protagonist naturally wants to leave. In order not to involve Ye Ling, who lives in seclusion, in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, he told Ye Ling that he would come back to her after he had solved everything.
In the end, he did come back to find her, but there was a heroine by his side.
Bah, scumbag. Zheng Baozhu cursed in his heart.
The role of Ye Ling is not much, and it does not exceed five episodes together, but in so many remakes, the screenwriter always likes to innovate on her. Some changed her to White Lotus, some changed her to a villain, and some changed her to a grudge, but no matter how you changed it, there was only one core of this character - she couldn't help but like the male protagonist.
When Gao Boyun talked to Zheng Baozhu about the script last time, he specifically mentioned that Ye Ling was also modified this time, but this time Ye Ling was a genius doctor with no emotions. When the male protagonist said that he would come back to find her, she Coldly said goodbye, no need.
Zheng Baozhu is cool.
After arriving at Bomei, Zheng Baozhu parked the car and sent Wang Jingyi a position. Wang Jingyi quickly replied to her: "You're here? Come on, come on, don't be nervous!"
Zheng Baozhu: Hmm! If you successfully win the role, I will send you a big red envelope!
Wang Jingyi: I'm waiting!
Zheng Baozhu put away her phone and pressed the elevator upstairs. The information of the crew was posted in the elevator room of the hotel. After Zheng Baozhu got to the floor, as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw the actors who were queuing for interviews. She didn't have to worry about finding a place...
There are really many people at the scene. There are a total of four characters today, just two men and two women. Zheng Baozhu walked to the end of the line and started to line up silently. In the corridor, in addition to the actors who were queuing, there were also actors who had already received the script and were preparing to perform. Zheng Baozhu was relatively calm at first, but now he is a little nervous by the atmosphere of the scene.
Fortunately, the queue didn't take too long, much faster than the last time she made a special appointment. When entering the room, she looked around specially.
Different from the interview photos Wang Jingyi sent her, the crew set up an executive suite, which is much larger. There were a lot of people standing in the living room, including the actors who auditioned and the main creative staff. There were some food and drinks on the table. It was relatively clean, at least it was much more comfortable than the crew that Wang Jingyi went to interview last time.
In addition to these people in the living room, there was a man sitting on the balcony. Wearing a mask and hat, he sat alone in the corner and did not communicate with anyone. He only occasionally raised his head to glance at the living room.
Judging from Zheng Baozhu's experience, this person may be a big boss, and no matter how bad it is, he is the person with the most say in this room.
After the interviews of the previous actors, it was finally Zheng Baozhu's turn. The casting director asked her a few questions with several of the main creators, and let her try a scene first. Zheng Baozhu feels that she can perform well. After all, she has been practicing her lines and acting during this time, and even the teacher praised her for her remarkable progress.
After she finished the performance, the other party asked her about her schedule again. How could a young actor like Zheng Baozhu have no schedule
The casting director told her that it was ok and told her to go back and wait for the news. Zheng Baozhu was about to leave when the man who had been sitting on the balcony suddenly said, "That girl, come over and I'll have a chat with you."
Zheng Baozhu was stunned for a moment. He didn't ask anyone who had finished the interview before to chat with him. Now, is he arresting her for a chat because she has high hopes!
She glanced at several of the main creators sitting in the living room, and the casting director laughed and said to her, "Just go over if I tell you, and I won't eat you."
"..." Zheng Baozhu walked over with her bag and smiled at the man on the rattan chair, "Hello, teacher."
"Sit." The man pointed to the chair opposite and said something to her. His voice sounded a little old, and it should be older than the main creator who interviewed them. But even in this way of sitting and talking face-to-face, he did not take off his mask.
Zheng Baozhu became more and more suspicious of what kind of boss he was, because he couldn't be seen, so he was wearing a mask all the time.
But she couldn't ask about it, she could only sit down opposite him with a smile.
"Zheng Baozhu, right?" The man asked, without waiting for Zheng Baozhu to answer, but handed over a business card. Zheng Baozhu took the business card and glanced down.
There are three big characters of Gao Tianming written on it.
… Good guy, dare to say that Xiao Gao Dao didn’t come today, but Da Gao Dao is here?
Zheng Baozhu cleared his throat and called out to him, "Hello, Director Gao."
Gao Tianming waved his hand: "This group belongs to Boyun, I'm just here to take a look today."
"Okay, okay." Zheng Baozhu responded with a smile.
Gao Tianming looked at her and said, "You don't have to be restrained, I just want to chat with you casually. How did you think of being an actor?"
Zheng Baozhu was a little surprised that he would ask this question, why do we still need to talk about dreams first in the audition? But since Director Gao spoke, she still said honestly: "There is no special reason, just like it since I was a child, so I came here."
Gao Tianming nodded and asked again, "Is it hard to be a group performer?"
"It's very hard, but I can learn a lot." Zheng Baozhu smiled, "And which industry is not hard?"
Gao Tianming also smiled, looked at her and said, "You are a beautiful girl, but you can endure hardships. This is quite similar to Su Mingmei."
Zheng Baozhu was taken aback, she actually knew that Gao Tianming and her aunt knew each other. After all, he had directed several of Su Mingmei's plays, and even the "No More Spring" had Gao Tianming's name in the director column.
She just didn't expect that he would suddenly mention Su Mingmei to her.
Gao Tianming was more indifferent: "You don't have to be so surprised, I heard her mention your name. It's been so many years, I still remember this name..."
When Gao Tianming said this, he felt a little emotional: "Baozhu, it really is a good name."
Zheng Baozhu didn't speak, Gao Tianming glanced at her and said to her, "I went to your aunt's funeral, and I met you once. But you may not have an impression."
Su Mingmei's funeral Zheng Baozhu still remembers that because the family had already had strong resistance to the entertainment industry at that time, Su Mingmei's funeral was held in a low-key manner, only relatives and friends were invited, and no people from the entertainment industry were invited.
Gao Tianming may have gone there as a representative of the entertainment industry, but Zheng Baozhu really has no impression. After all, at that time, she had no concept of big directors.
"Actually, I am quite surprised that you will come to the entertainment industry to develop. After all, because of Su Mingmei's affairs, your family has a lot of opinions on this circle."
Zheng Baozhu was silent for a while, and then said, "They are indeed opposed to this industry. I can understand their feelings, but I don't think this is right. Being an actor is my dream since I was a child, so here I am."
Gao Tianming didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he opened his mouth and said: "I watched your performance just now, and I can see that you have learned some performances and your lines are good. If you are more direct. A special role, or a small role like Ye Ling who doesn't have a lot of roles, at your current level, it's enough."
Zheng Baozhu raised her eyes and looked at him: "Dao Dao means..."
Gao Tianming said: "If you still want to keep going up and become a well-known actor at home and abroad, it is not enough now. You have talent and aura, but you still lack a more systematic and profound understanding of acting. The current performance is more about imitation, imitating the teacher who taught you, so it doesn’t have its own style yet. At the end of the performance, you still have to have your own understanding in it.”
Zheng Baozhu nodded slightly, she knew what Gao Tianming said, but in order to reach the height he said, in addition to his own talent and understanding, a good teacher is also crucial. But how can such a teacher be so easy to meet? Everyone tried their best to get admitted to a famous school, because there are top teachers there and they can receive the best guidance.
Gao Tianming took a pen and wrote on the notepad in the room for a while, then tore the page and handed it to Zheng Baozhu: "Next Tuesday, go to this address and find a teacher named Ge."
Zheng Baozhu took the paper in a daze, and there was indeed an address written on it, which was in the old city. In addition to the address, he also wrote the word Ge, and did not leave a phone number or other contact information.
"This is… "
"You can go at the appointed time."
Although Zheng Baozhu was a little puzzled, she still put the address in her bag: "Okay, thank you Director Gao."
"Well, then you go back first."
"Okay, goodbye Director Gao." Zheng Baozhu stood up and walked out with his bag on his back.
There are still many people queuing in the corridor, and it can be seen that the competition this time is still great. She didn't have full confidence that she could be selected, but it's pointless to worry about these now. She should wait for the news with peace of mind.
She walked to the elevator and found that the two actresses who had auditioned together just now were also waiting for the elevator there. Seeing her coming, the two of them whispered something. Zheng Baozhu guessed that she must be talking about her. After all, she was called alone to talk just now. If it were her, she would have an idea.
After the elevator door opened, the three of them walked in together. The floors of the executive suites are relatively high, and the elevators go down a little bit. A girl next to her couldn't hold back, and still asked her: "Who is that person sitting on the balcony just now? What have you been talking to?"
Zheng Baozhu smiled at her and said to her, "It's nothing, I just said my question and gave me some pointers."
"Is that so?" The girl responded, not knowing how much she believed. The elevator suddenly shook, and the lights flickered on and off. The two girls suddenly became frightened and looked around in panic: "What's the matter?"
As soon as I finished asking this question, the elevator slid down again, causing the people in the elevator to scream in shock.
The time of the descent was very short, maybe only two seconds, and the elevator stopped again, but the two girls who took the elevator with Zheng Baozhu were so frightened that their tears were about to come out. Zheng Baozhu rang the emergency bell and put them away. Pulled up from the ground: "Don't squat, stick to the car like me."
The two girls stood up tremblingly, for fear that the elevator would slide down again: "Is the elevator broken? What should I do now?"
Zheng Baozhu pressed all the remaining floors, but the elevator still did not respond: "It should be a malfunction, I have already pressed the call for help, you try to make this call again, the signal in the elevator is not good, we will call a few more times. "
The girl next to her took her mobile phone and dialed the number several times, but she couldn't get through. She burst into tears: "I can't make a call, what should I do? We won't die here, will we?"
"No." Zheng Baozhu was also a little scared in her heart, but obviously the two girls were more scared than she was now, and she had to hold on to it, "The elevator has a wire rope, a holding brake, a car speed limiter and a safety caliper brake. The elevator won't go down unless all these things fail."
Zheng Baozhu spoke calmly, and under her influence, the two girls also calmed down a little: "You, how do you know so clearly?"
Zheng Baozhu said: "I was told by a scholar in the past that he is now a scientist. If you don't believe me, you have to believe him."
The two girls pursed their lips and stood close to the car. Zheng Baozhu also walked over and said to them while on the phone, "If it's not really bad luck, and all the things I said just now fail, then the elevator will fail. In the future, it will only be like this, stop here, we just need to wait until the maintenance personnel come to rescue us."
After listening to her, the two girls also picked up their mobile phones and called again. This time the call was finally made, and the staff who answered the phone tried their best to comfort them: "Don't worry, the maintenance team has just rushed over. , I'll be able to save you all soon! What you have to do now is to try to keep your mind calm, don't be afraid, wow!"
The phone got through, which probably meant that their luck was really not that bad. People from the maintenance team rushed over after a while, pried open the elevator door and pulled them out one by one. Zheng Baozhu was the last one to come out. After she came out, she even tidied up her hair before looking at the person in charge of the hotel who apologized to them: "I also work in a hotel, everyone is considered a peer, and things like elevators must be carried out regularly. Overhaul, it will be too late to overhaul until something goes wrong."
"...I'm really sorry, our elevators are regularly overhauled. This time it was really an accident." In order to appease them, the hotel gave them a small gift and a bottle of hot milk.
Since none of the three were injured, they did not pursue further investigations. Zheng Baozhu held hot milk in his hands and went outside to get the car. The two girls stopped her from behind and walked towards her: "Well, thank you just now, if it weren't for you, both of us would have been scared to death."
"It's okay." Zheng Baozhu smiled at them.
The girl who asked her before said a little embarrassedly: "I may have been a little abrupt just now, because I saw that you were the only one called over, so I was a little emotional. In fact, you played very well just now, even better than us."
Zheng Baozhu said, "It's okay, don't take it to heart."
After the two girls finished talking to her, they took a taxi and left. Zheng Baozhu walked to her car, opened the door and sat in. After fasting her seat belt, she did not start the car immediately, but sat in the car and exhaled a long breath, then opened the milk and took a gulp.
The warm milk flowed into his stomach, making Zheng Baozhu warm up. She picked up her mobile phone and posted a new update in the circle of friends.
Zheng Baozhu: I was really scared to death just now, wow QAAAQ
After posting on the Moments, Zheng Baozhu exhaled again. She put the phone aside and was about to drive out of the car when the phone vibrated. Zheng Baozhu glanced sideways, and the caller showed Qu Zhi.
Her eyes widened slightly, what did Qu Zhi call her
The phone kept vibrating, and there was no sign of it stopping. Zheng Baozhu picked up the phone again and flicked the screen with his fingertips.
As soon as the call was connected, before Zheng Baozhu could speak, Qu Zhi's voice came from the receiver: "Zheng Baozhu, what happened to you?"
Zheng Baozhu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked him: "What happened to me?"
Qu Zhi's voice was filled with a little anger again: "Then what happened to the circle of friends you just posted?"
Zheng Baozhu's eyes moved slightly, she understood, Qu Zhi saw his circle of friends, so this call to her
She slowly leaned back on the chair and asked Qu Zhi on the other end of the phone: "Qu Zhi, do you remember the one year when Meng Yaxin celebrated his birthday and we were trapped in the elevator?"
