The Salted Fish Invading the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 118 Precepts
In the reception room, Yang Zhu was drinking tea slowly, not bothering to glance at the figure opposite.

Seeing that the other party ignored her so much, the woman on the opposite side couldn't restrain her chest that was about to explode, and said through gritted teeth, "Why don't you speak?"

Yang Zhu carefully picked out a tea stalk near the mouth of the tea mug, threw it into the ashtray, and then looked at her casually: "What did you say?"

Xu Qin's face was ugly, and she said word by word: "You, what do you mean?"

Yang Zhu had a blank expression: "Miss Xu, I really don't understand what you are talking about."

Xu Qin saw that he was pretending to be crazy, and didn't bother to go around in circles. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm asking you, why did you take away the role of my leading lady?"

Yang Zhu had an inexplicable expression: "Did Miss Xu drink too much? You should ask Director Zhang this question. I'm just a temporary assistant director."

After a pause: "How about I call Director Zhang over and let him have a good chat with you?"

Xu Qin snorted: "Director Zhang went to the prop company today, and he won't be back at all right now."

"And... don't play dumb there! Director Zhang said on the phone that you are in charge of the casting."

Yang Zhu suddenly cursed inwardly, why didn't he come back after going to the props company?

Director Zhang was obviously afraid that this woman would mess with him, so he deliberately pushed her to him.

This is too dishonest!
Knowing that he couldn't escape, Yang Zhu simply admitted: "That's right, I'm in charge of the casting."

Xu Qin sneered: "Very well, you finally admitted it. Tell me, why did you take away my heroine position? Director Zhang begged me to act in the first place;"

"It's good now. It's only been a few days and he's turned his back on his fault. If you had the ability, don't beg me in the first place!"

Seeing her domineering look, Yang Zhu was upset; he said blankly: "Miss Xu, please communicate with Director Zhang about the matter yourself, it's useless for you to vent your anger on me."

"All I know is that since Director Zhang has given me full responsibility for the casting, I can only do what I want."

Xu Qin leaned back, and glanced contemptuously at the young man who appeared out of nowhere in front of him: "You are a mere assistant casting director, and you really use chicken feathers as arrows!?"

Then he eased his tone: "Since Director Zhang asked me to come to you, it is obvious that he intends to still use me as the heroine, but it is just that he can't save face and just let you go along the slope as a donkey. You talk about you, and it's a shame." As for the director, he has no vision at all!"

Yang Zhu was stunned, and then it was a little funny, why didn't I know that the old man had such a meaning, this eldest sister probably thought I was young and easy to fool, didn't she?

So with an appearance of "so it is", he took out his mobile phone and said, "Miss Xu, wait a moment, I will ask Director Zhang."

Seeing Yang Zhu's dazed look about to dial, Xu Qin's expression changed, and he pressed his hand;

Yang Zhu looked at her in surprise;
Xu Qin's face was livid, and she squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "Don't be in a hurry to call Director Zhang, tell me first, why should I take off my female number one?"

Yang Zhu looked at her with a strange look: "What else could it be? Of course you are not suitable."

Xu Qin's face became even more ugly: "What's wrong with me, appearance? Temperament? Body shape? Experience? Fame? You just tell me."

Yang Zhu looked at her in embarrassment, and said cautiously: "Really?"

Xu Qin bit out two words from her gums: "Say it!"

Yang Zhu scratched his head, with a look of embarrassment: "Actually... you are not suitable in these aspects."

Xu Qin's eyes seemed to be bursting with fire. She slammed her hands on the table and said in a shrill voice: "Are you kidding me!?"

Yang Zhu seemed to be taken aback, and said innocently: "How dare I play with you, what I said is true."

Then, like an inexperienced otaku, he counted on his fingers: "Let's talk about appearance first. You are already in your 30s. No matter how well you take care of yourself, you should be able to play a young woman. But playing a young girl is against the rules." The feeling is too strong, the audience is not blind, and the heroine is so old, she will act out in an instant."

Grade so old?Xu Qin's eyes darkened, and she almost fainted.

"Next, let's talk about temperament. Ms. Xu is very suitable for playing a light or sweet role, such as a young mistress, a concubine, a lover, etc.;"

"But the heroine of this drama is the holy aunt of the Demon Sect. She is not too big or too young to be considered a master. You don't have that kind of ruthless, clean and neat Jianghu girl."

Outer room?lover?Xu Qin's chest seemed to be blocked by a fire, and it was burning uncomfortably.

"There's also body shape. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl should be very slender, but Miss Xu's figure... um, um; it's a bit too plump. When the audience saw it, ah, this is obviously the figure of a young woman. Playing the role of a girl, are you ashamed or not?"

"Tell me, how uncomfortable is this for the audience?"

fat?Young woman?Xu Qin almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Also, you have never acted in a martial arts drama before. It's hard work learning moves, tricks, etc., and Ms. Xu, you are famous for being a delicate girl. I'm afraid..."

"enough!!!"

Before Yang Zhu finished speaking, Xu Qin smashed the table again, and the sharp sound was about to tear Yang Zhu's eardrums.

This woman, who was quite famous and influential in the imperial circle, looked ashen at the moment, as if she would pounce on Yang Zhu at any moment.

Yang Zhu suddenly felt the taste, and still said earnestly: "Actually, we are all doing well for Ms. Xu. If you think about it, if you insist on playing this heroine, there will be a lot of scolding at that time, which will affect the ratings of this show." Rate is a trivial matter, isn't it because you are afraid of ruining your low audience popularity?"

"Enough is enough!" Xu Qin screamed again, with an indescribably distorted expression on her face.

Seeing that Yang Zhu finally shut up, Xu Qin pointed at Yang Zhu with a trembling hand and said, "Very good! Very good! Very good!"

"I remember you, the entertainment industry is such a big place, we will meet again sooner or later, let's wait and see!!"

After finishing speaking, stepping on high heels as if fleeing, walked out quickly.

Yang Zhu looked at her panicked figure, twitched the corner of his mouth, and slowly took a sip of tea from his teacup.

Hmm...it's better to criticize others, which is most beneficial to your physical and mental health.

I feel much better now...

………………

"Wow~~~"

Yang Zhu turned around and closed the door,

Seeing Yang Zhu return to the small classroom again, the actors who were paralyzed on the chairs seemed to have their own springs under them for an instant, and they sat in a well-behaved manner for an instant.

The person who was whispering and whispering turned into an elementary school student who was more obedient than his kindergarten classmates in 0.1 seconds.

Yang Zhu scanned a group of actors with different faces, especially Jiang Shuying who looked anxious,
As if nothing happened, with a straight face: "Continue to read the lines!"

Then he turned his head and asked Bao Shuxian: "Which scene is it now?"

Bao Shuxian quickly picked up the script book full of ink lines, glanced at it, and said, "It's time for the scene where Linghu Chong and Ren Yingying meet again."

Yang Zhu nodded: "Brother Hu, Jiang Shuying, it's your show, why are you still dawdling?"

Brother Hu tightened his body, gritted his teeth, and walked out with a trace of resoluteness on his face, causing a chuckle from below;
Jiang Shuying hesitated a few times, and finally bit his lip lightly: "Mr. Yang, do I...do I still need to answer my lines?"

Of course she knew who the woman who was looking for Yang Zhu angrily just now was, and she also knew that Director Zhang wanted that woman to be the heroine at the beginning of this drama;

In her mind, it would be fine if such a big guy knew that her role had been robbed, but if the other party approached her so aggressively, then ninety-nine percent of her "probationary heroine" would be useless, and she would be extremely frustrated Therefore, there is this question.

Yang Zhu frowned: "I also asked if I wanted to correct my lines. Is the Ren Yingying you want to play a mute?"

Then with a hint of meanness: "I asked you to design your own little moves, but you learned very quickly. You just designed Ren Yingying to be mute. You are so capable, why don't you use some scripts!?"

There was another chuckle underneath.

Jiang Shuying could hear the taste, and she said pleasantly: "Mr. Yang, what do you mean... you still plan to let me act?"

Yang Zhu said angrily: "If you don't want to act, you can just pack your things and go back to the Magic City now. I will never say a word!"

After getting the exact answer, Jiang Shuying couldn't even close her mouth in joy. If Yang Zhu hadn't given her such a terrible impression, she would have jumped up on the spot.

Looking at Jiang Shuying who was ecstatic, Yang Zhu felt that it was necessary to ring the alarm bell for these actors, so he clapped his hands immediately, and suddenly, there was no sound in the classroom.

Yang Zhu took a sip of tea: "Just now, Miss Xu Qin came here for what, I think everyone has an idea;"

"I'm telling everyone very clearly that I rejected her request to win the heroine!"

Although the actors at the bottom had already guessed all kinds of things, they were still terrified when they heard Yang Zhu's confession; they all knew what level Xu Qin was, and such a person was at least three or five levels higher than them. The actor rejected it as soon as he said it was rejected, without giving any face, and everyone couldn't help looking at Yang Zhu in a very different way.

"Actually, you can think about it carefully. What does this story tell you?"

"It's very simple, that is... only the acting skills of an actor are real, and the rest of the fame, wrist size, etc. are all fake!"

"In the eyes of a good director, all of your actors are tool people. There is only a difference between being easy to use and not being easy to use. There is no difference in the reputation of a dog!"

"The reason why Director Zhang and I rejected Xu Qin's request is very simple; she can't act like Ren Yingying!"

"So, I advise everyone, while you still have the opportunity, hurry up and practice your acting skills, don't spend all day daydreaming, thinking about how to become famous;"

"Even if you're lucky, get a nickname, and don't have a solid acting foundation, within two years, you'll have to get out of the entertainment circle and become a mascot to sell hot pot!"

"Similarly, even if you are not famous for the time being, as long as you have a solid foundation of acting skills, you can make a living in movies and TV shows for the rest of your life!"

"Hmm... Maybe when you get older, the authorities will give you a trophy like a Lifetime Achievement Award. By then, you will be legitimate old artists."

There was another burst of laughter, but the vivid example in front of me also made some impetuous hearts sink.
That's right, no matter how famous a star is, in the eyes of directors and investors, he is just a tool person, and if he is useless one day, he will throw it away immediately.

As Teacher Yang said, the right way is to practice your acting skills honestly and improve your "use value" step by step.

After the warning, Hu Ge and Jiang Shuying officially started to play together,
It's probably because Jiang Shuying has been thinking wildly about Xu Qin's incident before, so he didn't prepare well at all. His expressions and movements were not in place, and he even forgot his lines.

Yang Zhu was so angry that she scolded her for half an hour before stopping. If it wasn't for the fact that she was a woman, Yang Zhu would have slapped her.

But I guess her mood changed drastically after taking the reassurance pill. Although the girl was scolded so badly and her face turned pale, she didn't cry. This can be regarded as a miracle...
