A-list actors

Chapter 42
The sunshine in June had begun to show its power. When Zhou Shu rode his bicycle to the Hengdian Film and Television Association, he was sweating finely.

Wu Deyi was already waiting in the shade under the eaves. Seeing Zhou Shu's figure appeared, he waved his fat arms vigorously and shouted: "Shuzi, hurry up!"

Hearing Wu Deyi's urging, Zhou Shu quickly parked the car and walked over quickly, "Brother Fat, I'm not late, am I?"

"The time is up soon, let's hurry up, Director Li has a very tight schedule recently, and he won't wait for a special person."

Wu Deyi pulled Zhou Shu and walked inside, explaining to Zhou Shu as he walked.

Arriving at an office on the second floor, Wu Deyi knocked on the door, and after hearing the response from inside, he brought Zhou Shu into the room.

Li Yuanming is having dinner now. He is indeed very busy recently. Since Zou Yong's accident, not only has to hurry up to find new actors, but also to re-arrange the venue. The most difficult thing is to contact other actors to adjust their time to cooperate with them.

The itineraries of many actors in the play have already been fully arranged, and now it is not an easy task to ask them to come back to cooperate.

Fortunately, Li Yuanming has a high status in the industry and has many friends and students, so he barely managed to complete this matter. Now there is only one actor who can replace Zou Yong.

As for the actors, there are indeed many actors who have come to audition these days, and there are also many companies that want to fill in their own actors, including some popular traffic stars.

Although some of them have quite agreeable images, their acting skills cannot satisfy Li Yuanming.

Li Yuanming understands the thoughts of these stars. Although this role does not have many roles, the topic of changing roles in "The Prosperity of Ming Dynasty" is very hot now. If they can play this role, and then make a wave of hype through the media, it will have a great impact on their image. lifting effect.

For example, Lu Hao, who used to be a top trafficker, gradually became older as he announced his girlfriend, and his popularity was not as good as before.

The acting skills of the two TV series he starred in are not recognized by the audience, so now he urgently needs an opportunity to change the audience's impression of him and complete the transformation.

And this change of roles is a good opportunity for him. The director of this show is the great director Li Yuanming. If he can win this role, it will not only increase the public's recognition of him, but also be able to partner with Li Yuanming. online.

In short, the benefits to him are very great.

Li Yuanming has no prejudice against traffic stars, and is willing to give them this opportunity, but their acting skills do not meet the requirements, which makes Li Yuanming unable to make up his mind to determine the final actor.

The actor he took the time to interview today was recommended by Wu Deyi, the deputy director of the crew. Li Yuanming was very impressed with Wu Deyi. Although the fat man looked unreliable, he was actually very capable. When he was on the crew, Li Yuanming felt relaxed a lot of.

He believed in Wu Deyi's vision, so he took the time to give the unknown actor a chance.

"Director Li, I brought someone here. This is the actor who came to audition, Zhou Shu."

Wu Deyi pulled Zhou Shu to Li Yuanming.

"Director Li is really working hard, he deserves to be a great director!"

Walking closer, Zhou Shu saw that Li Yuanming's hair was graying, and his face was full of exhaustion, so he couldn't help sighing secretly.

You must know that Li Yuanming will be 60 years old soon, and he has done everything by himself in filming, which has to be admired.

"Hi Zhou Shu, we are short on time now, so let's start directly."

Li Yuanming skipped the self-introduction and started directly. He has no requirements for the qualifications of the actors, as long as the acting skills are in place, nothing else matters.

"There is a scene here. You are the emperor of a country. The enemy army has already reached the front of the palace. The leader of the enemy army is your uncle. You know that you will die today, so you don't panic. You calmly say that you only hope that your uncle will not open your mouth." Kill the ring, treat the people kindly, commit suicide after finishing speaking."

The scene Li Yuanming mentioned was the role that Zhou Shu's auditioned characters needed to perform in the play.

That's right, it was Zhu Yunwen who Zhou Shu auditioned for this time.

"The Prosperity of Ming Dynasty" mainly tells the story of Zhu Di in the prosperous age of Yongle. Zhu Yunwen doesn't have many roles, but it is just an introduction in the early stage.

As for why Zhu Yunwen was filmed as committing suicide, Li Yuanming also had his own considerations.

Historically, Zhu Yunwen was missing, and Zhu Di sent people to search around, but Li Yuanming and the others believed that Zhu Yunwen should be killed. Only in order to avoid making excuses, Zhu Di ordered to look for it.

And in this play, they processed it again and fabricated a scene of Zhu Yunwen's suicide to increase the appeal of the plot.

Zhou Shu closed his eyes and thought for 2 minutes before starting to perform.

He didn't have any characters to learn from in this scene, so he could only rely on his own understanding to act.

Zhou Shu sat on the stool, pretending that he was on the dragon chair right now, resting his hands on the armrests of the dragon heads on both sides, and looked ahead calmly.

"Uncle Huang, I didn't expect that we would meet in such a way."

The expression on Zhou Shu's face moved slightly, showing a little bitterness.

The opposite party didn't know what to say, Zhou Shu was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said: "This is the arrangement of the emperor's grandfather, I can't refuse, I think I have come to the throne, I am still diligent, and I have done some useful things..."

Before Zhou Shu finished speaking, he seemed to be interrupted by someone, but he was not angry and listened carefully.

"After all, the emperor's uncle won. I know that I will die today. I just hope that the emperor's uncle will not kill people. They are all innocent."

Zhou Shu let out a long sigh, put down his posture for the first time, and said pleadingly.

"I hope Uncle Huang will do what he says."

Zhou Shu smiled in relief, and fell to the ground without breathing.

"it is good!"

As soon as the performance ended, Li Yuanming applauded and praised: "The overall performance is very good, except for a small flaw in the lines, everything else is perfect!"

After being praised by the great director, Zhou Shu couldn't say how beautiful he was, and quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you director for the compliment."

"You're not a new actor, are you? What roles have you played before? Why don't I remember?"

Li Yuanming was a little strange. With Zhou Shu's acting skills, he shouldn't have heard of it.

"Director Li, I played the role of a traitor in the aired "Independent Group". I just finished filming a TV series "The Temptation of Going Home" as the second male lead. I also participated in "Chivalrous Warriors". Small supporting role."

"Gone?"

Seeing that Zhou Shu did not continue to speak, Li Yuanming asked in surprise.

"Uh, I used to run a trick in Hengdian for four years, I don't know if it counts."

Zhou Shu was a little embarrassed when he said that, because his qualifications were really shallow.

"Did you teach yourself the method of acting, or was it taught by the teacher?"

Li Yuanming became more interested in Zhou Shu and continued to ask.

"Most of them are self-study, Li Yunqiang and Uncle Li also helped me a lot." Zhou Shu said truthfully.

"I know Li Yunqiang, this kid has a very strong personality, you can get together with him, it seems that he is indeed a good seedling.

Alright, this role is yours, sign the contract when you get out, and start filming tomorrow, a total of five days, you can do it. "

"Thank you Director Li, I'm fine."

Finally hearing what he wanted to hear, Zhou Shu was so excited that he almost jumped up, and hurriedly promised.

After signing the contract, Zhou Shu and Wu Deyi strode out of the film and television guild.

"I haven't had lunch yet because of you."

Fatty Wu looked at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, touched his withered stomach, and felt that he was really too loyal.

"Thank you fat brother, I invite you to dinner, you can choose whatever you want!"

Zhou Shu was in a good mood at this time, and released bold words.

"Really? Then I won't be polite, I must order two pork knuckle rice today!"

Wu Deyi waved his chubby hand, and said firmly.

"what?"

Hearing Wu Deyi's words, Zhou Shu was so moved that he was about to cry. This request was too simple, and he must be satisfied.
