my wife is a showman

Chapter 25
The actor held back a mouthful of thick phlegm, swallowed it abruptly, and quickly replied:
"Director, I have a bit of a cold, let me do it again to make sure I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Wu Dalong asked.

When people said he was sick, he couldn't reprimand him, lest it spread the word that he was a studio tyrant again.

"I'm sure, take some cough syrup first."

As a result, the scene was dead silent, and everyone was watching him drink cough syrup with cold eyes.

Wu Dalong clenched his fists tightly, and glanced at Shi Jin with a knife-like gaze.

Knowing that we have to make up for the big event today and time is running out, we still find a guy with a medicine bottle. Do you think he is angry or not?

"boom……"

Because of his nervousness, this buddy slipped his hand when twisting the bottle cap, and the medicine bottle fell to the ground.

He was about to cry, and quickly squatted down, but his hands were empty, and he actually wanted to wipe it with his costume.

"Hey, call the cleaners. Don't get the costume dirty. You'll have a full-body camera later." Wu Dalong shouted.

Xu Lang took a deep breath and thought, the opportunity has come.

I didn't expect to take the initiative to offer such an important role as a group performer for the first time. He has practiced many times just now.

In the ranks of civil servants, there is actually a guy who is eager to try, muttering words, it seems that life is full of competition.

If you don't fight, others will.

"Alright, let's start with Qin Hui, prepare, one, two, three... Action."

After all, Qin Hui's actor is an old drama player, and he immediately got into the mood. He glanced at the emperor cunningly, then tilted his head slightly, signaling the civil servants behind to come out and speak.

"General Liang..."

"Ka...Brother, can you have a snack? Are you standing in the crowd and talking to the emperor? Take your seat first, and then raise your board and bow."

The tighter the throat became, the more beads of sweat flowed out from the actor's forehead, and he coughed non-stop.

He sneezed and sprayed out a mouthful of thick phlegm, scaring the actors around him to run away.

A group of big shots accompanied this guy to keep re-shooting. Shi Shi and all the soldiers never got up, his knees hurt from kneeling, and the ground was cold.

"Shishi, get up first."

Wu Dalong was about to go mad with anger, he knew he couldn't take pictures, and no one could help coughing.

He looked at Shi Jin and asked, "Don't tell me, there is no backup actor."

"It's such a simple role, but I can't find it."

"Do you think this role is easy? I have repeatedly told you to spend more money to find a good special agent, and you can find a patient for me. Is this a horror movie?"

"He was fine in his audition."

"Come with me."

Wu Dalong took Shi into the dressing room, grabbed him and pressed him against the wall.

"Did that guy invite you to drink and play with women last night?"

"how is this possible."

Wu Dalong's nose twitched and he shouted: "The smell of alcohol has not dissipated yet. Do you want to kill Shishi and me? Do you know that we signed a gambling agreement? If you lose money, tens of millions of real money will be gone." , my reputation has also been ruined by you."

"Can we shoot again tomorrow?"

"Fuck you, whoever has a schedule is waiting for you every day, it's just a make-up show."

Shi Jin panicked and quickly kept smiling.

"Brother-in-law, I'm wrong this time, I'll contact you now."

"what time is it now?"

Wu Dalong pointed his phone to his eyes, it was already three o'clock, and it took him an hour or two to come here from the city, it was dark and he couldn't take pictures, and there were still activities to attend at night.

At this time, Shi Shi knocked on the door outside, came in and saw the two men at war, and hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Zhao Ying is filming next door, why don't you ask if there are any old actors over there, and call them over to save the scene."

"I'm not familiar with him. Which veteran actor would take on a role like this as a traitor? It's hard to memorize the lines. I'm afraid it'll be too late." Wu Dalong slumped on his chair.

"Shishi, this matter is me..."

"Get out!" Shi Shi shouted.

This cousin really left her speechless.

Who would have thought that a major event would fall on such a small character.

The key is that this role is the turning point of the whole literary drama, and ordinary group performances can't handle it well.

"Do you want to dub?"

"You're out of your mind. In such a quiet environment, all the leading actors are radioing live and dubbing him specially. The audience is deaf." Wu Dalong roared.

Dubbing can never solve the spatial gap between picture and sound, especially in movies.

The investor reluctantly supplemented the budget of 1000 million. If such a thing is handed over, what will people think of him?

Outside the scene, the actor Qin Hui, a veteran actor, and the on-site assistant director were lecturing the actors.

"Actually, this scene is very simple. Memorize the lines. When playing against the heroine, don't panic, don't rush, and pay attention to your position. You have acted in many scenes, don't you want to try?"

"I'll try……"

A guy jumps up and down.

"Your Mandarin is so impressive, this is live radio."

"I'll come, I'll come... General Liang attributed all the military achievements to himself, so where does the military salary come from? I have a total of more than 30 soldiers, and now the country... oh, fighting for years... Oh, I seem to have missed a word, the salary How much is the salary?"

"Pay the wages, why don't you talk about bonuses?"

The old man Qin Hui was speechless, he and the assistant director looked at each other and sighed secretly.

Sure enough, the quality of the extras is really worrying. It's hard to memorize the lyrics, so let's talk about the performance.

"They haven't played decent roles before, so they can't get into the show." The on-site director said.

"I'll try it."

After Xu Lang finished speaking, he walked towards the civil servant who was ashamed, coughing, and wishing to wipe his neck.

"what?"

"I have to start from here and perform it completely." Xu Lang said.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Well, I can do it. After all, I'm a student in the Beijing Film and Television Specialized Class."

The old man's eyes lit up, and he said quickly:

"Get out of the way quickly. I know you don't want to waste this opportunity, but you don't cherish it. The announcement was made three days ago. Who dares to smoke and drink after a severe cold? If you continue to torment, the show will be ruined, but the two With an investment of [-] million yuan, will I ask you to pay for it?"

Everyone is impatient.

If there is no tossing, the filming is almost finished at this time.

Wu Dalong and Shi Shi quarreled in the dressing room, one blamed the other for letting relatives in, and the other blamed the other for always blaming himself.

Shi Jin listened closely to his ears, too frightened to vent his breath, fearing that he might not be able to keep this super cool high-paying job.

"Brother Shi, someone can play this role." The assistant director said.

"Who?"

"A group performer."

"Is it reliable?"

"Several of the protagonists think it's okay, so it should be no problem."

"Brother, you are busy first, let me tell them."

Shi Jin pushed the door open and went in. Wu Dalong and Shi Shi cursed at the same time: "Get out!"

"I...I found a suitable actor."

"No one you found is reliable."

"This is absolutely reliable."

This is Shi Jin's style of doing things, the cowhide first, and the consequences later.

The two quickly adjusted their status and went to the scene.

"Dalong, this one is not bad, let him try it." Old man Qin Hui said.

Wu Dalong looked at Xu Lang and asked, "Have you ever filmed a movie before?"

"I have never made a film, but I am currently studying acting in the Beijing Film Academy." Xu Lang said.

It's hard to be convincing if you don't brag these days.

Seeing that several protagonists nodded, Wu Dalong had no choice but to try again, his requirements had been lowered.

At least, Xu Lang's temperament is like a civil servant, and he is in good condition. If it is really not good, he can only dub it later.

"Go and change your clothes, reapply your makeup, everyone rest for 10 minutes."

"Don't worry, this is okay." The emperor actor patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

"I hope so." Wu Dalong replied weakly.
