I rely on talking to brush the copy

Zhang Yanfang never thought that one day she would be able to stand here again.

The bright lens, the dazzling lighting, the busy makeup artist, the director’s critical gaze, the figures who shuttle around the scene...

These things she once took for granted have disappeared from her life for nearly twenty years.

At that time, her name was Zhang Weier. She was a talented actress who was proud of her success in the eyes of the audience, a muse in the eyes of countless directors, and a cash cow that investors flocked to.

She made her debut at the age of five, became a leading actress in a movie at the age of ten, became a movie queen at the age of eighteen, and then...she was banned at the age of twenty-one, and was then framed to owe a loan shark.

In order to make a living, she went to nightclubs to sing and sing. When she was at her lowest, she even became a bitch who could do anything for everyone.

Only in the most wonderful dreams will she become the arrogant Zhang Weier again, who is loved by thousands of people, instead of the vulgar, sarcastic Zhang Yanfang she is now.

She originally thought that this would be it for the rest of her life.

She never thought there would be a chance for a comeback.

Her eyes moved lightly and fell on the young man who was adjusting the lens, and she felt grateful.

It was this young man in his twenties who gave her another chance to take back everything. She never thought that her small act of kindness that day would reap such a big reward today.

Her mind couldn't help but recall the invitation three days ago:

"Sister Zhang, I have something to ask you."

When Zhang Yanfang heard Shi Jing's request, she thought he wanted her to use her connections to find some help for his studio.

"Okay, if you need anything, just ask me. If you can help me, I will definitely help." She began to think about any acquaintances who were free recently and could come over to help.

"I'm currently filming a drama about the Republic of China. The crew is still short of a supporting actress. Would you like to come and try?"

"Filming? Me?" Zhang Yanfang opened her eyes wide, not expecting to hear this from Shi Jing's mouth.

"Yes, I heard from the director I worked with that you were also an excellent actor when you were young. I think this role belongs to you."

Zhang Yanfang has not been in such a chaotic situation for a long time, and she is panicked.

Today, when she has been out of the industry for nearly twenty years and has completely resigned herself to her fate, someone suddenly wants to come to her for filming? She stopped having such dreams ten years ago!

"Xiao Jing, Auntie doesn't like making such jokes!"

"It's not a joke." Shi Jing looked at her sincerely, with a hint of appreciation in his amber eyes, "I have seen your works when you were young. You are a genius! Geniuses like you should not be buried. This is The audience’s loss is also our director’s loss!”

Zhang Yanfang's breath froze. How long? How long has it been since anyone looked at her like she was appreciating a work of art? Over the years, she has fallen so low that she has almost forgotten the feeling of being appreciated and respected.

Bathed in such gaze, for a moment she seemed to have traveled back to 20 years ago, when her name was Zhang Weier and she was the muse in the eyes of countless directors.

That was the happiest, dream-like time in her life.

It was the golden age that she dared not look at in her midnight dreams.

However, sweet dreams have to be awakened sooner or later.

Now she is Zhang Yanfang, not Zhang Weier.

She tried hard to ignore the pain in her heart and deliberately said in a joking tone: "Haha, it's been so many years. Auntie has almost become an old lady and has long forgotten how to act. And acting is so tiring. Now I finally don't have to act. Auntie is very happy every day, so Xiaojing, go find another little girl. The girl is young and beautiful, and is more suitable for acting than the yellow-faced woman like auntie. "

The young man looked into her eyes and asked word for word: "Do you really think so?"

Zhang Yanfang opened her eyes and replied uncomfortably: "Hahaha, of course it's true. What did Auntie lie to you for?"

"If you really think so, why do you study new TV series every day, figure out the characters' emotions, and re-interpret the characters in private?"

The young man met Zhang Yanfang's surprised eyes and replied calmly: "Yes, Zhang Ting told me." He stared at her firmly, "Admit it, you still want to continue acting, and you still want to be an actor. Live."

Zhang Yanfang knew that she should deny what she must deny.

"Auntie offended a big shot, and the media released a lot of groundless dirt..."

"Since it's unnecessary, why should you care?"

"But that big shot is still in the entertainment industry. He is very energetic..."

"Twenty years have passed, and he may not still remember you."

"Don't be afraid of anything, just be afraid of what may happen. He said at the beginning that if I appear in the entertainment industry again, my life will be worse than death."

"No matter how powerful he is, he can't distort the will of the people. If the people like your performance and recognize your acting skills, then you can survive as an actor."

The young man raised his eyebrows and lost all his previous gentleness. His eyes were full of swagger, revealing the high-spiritedness, bravery and fearlessness of a young man. "You don't have to worry about that person targeting our crew. The only thing the people will always recognize is the work itself." "Excellent works are a permanent pass. As for the private lives of directors and actors, not many people care."

...She should have said no. If she agrees to Shi Jing's invitation, there will only be more trouble waiting for her, and it may even be the recurrence of the tragedy from more than ten years ago.

But why is her vision so blurry, why is her heart beating so fast, why can't she say no?

Why...she still stood in the crew and was deeply immersed in the performance again?

"Action!"

Shi Jing's loud voice called back Zhang Yanfang's wandering thoughts, and she divided all her attention on the few people who were performing in front of the camera.

Because they were shooting and broadcasting at the same time, they could only perform in the order of the script.

Today's filming was the incomparable and glorious funeral recorded by Zhou Dezhang in "A Burial in the Fallen City".

Now filming is the scene of the conflict between the police and the coffin bearers.

The actors who are performing in front of the camera are Zhou Dezhang, Zheng Yiliang and the police captain.

These three people are her old friends.

The actor who plays Zhou Dezhang is Chang Zehai. If it weren't for his bad luck, he could have become the best actor. But after so many years of training, his acting skills can now be described as returning to nature.

He is now standing in front of the camera, and his eyebrows and eyes are full of drama. Even without outstanding looks, the audience can't take their eyes off him.

The actor who plays Zheng Yiliang is Wu Yan, a gambler. He was a rare talent in acting, but unfortunately his life was ruined by gambling. Because of gambling, his wife and children were separated, he was heavily in debt, and finally he got into the bad habit of alcoholism. But he is talented after all. So Zhang Yanfang pulled him up from the middle of the wine bottle and sent him here.

The actor who plays the police captain is Xuan Liang, who is born with a villain face. Since his debut, he has played big and small villains, but he is kind-hearted. He was tied up and used by his original family. In the end, he was blamed by his vampire parents and woven all kinds of black materials to the media, which eventually ruined his thriving acting career and he could only temporarily retreat from the limelight. If it weren't for the invitation from the crew of "Republic of China Literary Masters", he didn't know how many years it would take for him to wait for the opportunity to make a comeback.

In addition to them, other down-and-out old friends came to the crew.

They were all invited by Shi Jing in person, one after another.

Behind each of them, there are troubles of all sizes.

Now, these troubles gather together and try to get out of the sea of ​​suffering and reach the other side by riding a new, shaky, and uncertain boat.

This is a desperate adventure. They are all gamblers who have lost all their chips. Even if it is a straw, they will hold on tightly.

She doesn't know what the prospects of this drama are, but she hopes that this drama will be a big hit and get rave reviews.

Because this may be the last chance for these old guys.

…

Watching excellent actors perform is simply a pleasure.

Le Jing and Li Jianye stared at the old actors in the camera and could hardly find a chance to call a stop.

They are now shooting the first episode, the plot of the text "The Burial of the Fallen City".

Zhou Dezhang did not specifically mention the number of people in the funeral procession in "The Burial of the Fallen City", only saying "It seems that all the people in Beiping have come here to see my dear friend off."

Such a grand scene is naturally impossible to achieve through crowd actors, and they plan to generate it through AI simulation in the later stage. Anyway, these are all backgrounds, no acting is needed, AI actors can do the job well.

The main actors are of course played by real actors. Originally, Le Jing was a little worried that it would be very inconsistent for Zhang Jie to play Bai Shaoyao in her twenties at her current age. He had planned to reduce Zhang Jie's age through post-production.

But he didn't expect Zhang Jie's acting skills to be so good!

Zhang Yanfang is already 40 years old this year, and because of years of hardship, she looks like a 50-year-old. Even with makeup, she doesn't look young anymore.

However, she played the role of Bai Shaoyao, a young and beautiful woman in her twenties, without any sense of incongruity. And behind this incongruity is her superb acting skills.

The clear eyes, charming demeanor, light movements, and crisp girlish voice of a young woman all create a good sense of girlishness, making people ignore her appearance and believe that she is a young woman.

Le Jingqing couldn't help but think of an actress on Earth who also played Empress Wu Zetian in her forties. From a young girl to old age, she has lived the life of an empress, and her outstanding acting skills have made the audience ignore her real age.

This is probably a magic that only talented actors can learn.

In addition to the old actors recommended by Sister Zhang, the crew also has some young actors, such as Zhang Ting who plays Li Jingran, and Huang Tingting who plays Li Shuran.

Let's not talk about Zhang Ting first. Huang Tingting is an artist under Tianxing Entertainment where Director Li works. She is only in the third year of junior high school this year, and is about the same age as Li Shuran in the script.

Tianxing Entertainment is a small company with few resources, so Huang Tingting has been playing the role of female No. N in low-cost TV series for only a few minutes since her debut for three years.

This time, she can play the main female supporting role Li Shuran, which is a big improvement for her acting career.

The girl also cherishes this opportunity. Not only did she memorize the entire script, but she also seriously figured out the character's emotions and showed acting skills beyond her age.

But, everything is afraid of comparison.

Compared with the surrounding veteran actors, Huang Tingting's acting skills can only be described as terrible.

Almost all the card on the set was contracted by Zhang Ting and Huang Tingting, and Huang Tingting contracted 70% to 80% of them.

"Cut!"

Huang Tingting held Li Jingran's tablet, her misty eyes were a little confused. Sister Zhang, who had just cried, immediately withdrew her tears, and her expression was calm, no longer showing a trace of sadness.

"Director, what did I do wrong?"

"You are not in the right mood! You should..." Le Jing said with a straight face, explaining the play to the little girl seriously, and Zhang Yanfang also patiently gave the little girl some advice.

Huang Tingting eagerly absorbed the explanations and advice of the two seniors, and nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood.

And this little girl is indeed very perceptive, and the next reshoot was passed in one take.

Le Jing nodded secretly when he saw it. This little girl has a good mentality, is talented, and the key is that she is also hardworking. In time, she will become a great talent. She is a good seedling, and their crew has picked up a treasure.

Huang Tingting was also very excited.

In the past three years, she has played supporting roles in large and small crews and acted on the same stage with many acting masters, but she has never felt such great pressure as today, and she has never learned so much as today.

Although Huang Tingting is young, she has basic knowledge. Although the seniors who acted with her in the crew of "Wen Hao" are not well-known, they all have acting skills that she can't match. Such a perfect performance can almost be called art!

At the age of a teenager, being able to act with a group of acting masters and being taught acting skills by them is a good thing for her!

Not to mention the low pay, she would be willing to come to film even if she had to pay for it. The teachings from these masters are precious treasures that can't be bought back with money.

She couldn't help but look at the young director watching the show with awe.

I heard that these unknown old actors were all found by Director Shi! He dug out these veteran actors from nowhere, convinced them to come and film, and let them use their superb acting skills to create a legendary work.

Yes, a legend.

Although the crew was short of funds.

Although the director was unknown.

Although the tone of the script was serious, it was an out-and-out drama.

But she just had a hunch that this TV series would become a legend.

And she would rise straight up with this play and gain a firm foothold in the industry.

This was probably the confidence given to her by the combination of elite actors, excellent scripts and genius directors.

…

After more than half a month of intense filming, the first four episodes of "Republic of China Literary Masters" have been produced and can be uploaded to the Internet.

"Republic of China Literary Masters" has a total of 20 episodes, each one hour long. After discussion, Le Jing and Li Jianye decided to upload two episodes of the video to the Internet every Saturday and Sunday, and the total broadcast will be completed in ten weeks.

During the broadcast of the TV series, depending on the comments of the audience, Le Jing will make certain adjustments to the subsequent scripts without affecting the main line.

As for the website where the video is released, because of the relationship between Le Jing and Qijiang Video Network, this time "Republic of China Literary Masters" will still be voted for Qijiang Video Network, and Qijiang Video Network will promote and publicize this drama to a certain extent.

Le Jing also used his old Fengjing account to promote "Republic of China Literary Masters" many times.

In the end, it all depends on the response after the first episode is broadcast this Saturday.

There are still two days until Saturday.

…

Luo Baogang logged into the Penguin group and saw that the group was swiping the screen like crazy, and there were almost more than a dozen messages popping up every second.

Black Cat Knight: Everyone, please vote for Fengjing's "Young Marquis of Fenglangjuxu"! !

Lao Li next door: You vote for me and I vote for you. Fengjing will debut tomorrow. If you don't vote and I don't vote, when will Fengjing be able to make a name for himself? !

Wang Zeyi: Brother, we are the only ones left, and we will protect the best Fengjing in the world!

I Loved the Sea: What voting? Isn't it still in the audition stage now?

Former professional back-out contestant: My village has internet access? What voting?

Old Age Disco: When will Old Scenery have new works?

As a die-hard fan of Old Scenery, Luo Bao absolutely does not allow anyone in the group who has not watched "Young Hou"!

Luo Bao once again updated an announcement: "Friends! In response to the call of the youth theme video competition of Qijiang Video Network, Old Scenery has specially created the movie "Young Hou of Fenglangjuxu". Now it has passed the audition and entered the top 500. It has officially entered the public voting stage. The top 100 can advance to the next round to be selected by professional judges. Everyone click on the link below and vote for the big guy and send him to debut!!!"

After updating the announcement, Luo Bao looked at the replies below with satisfaction, "Fuck, I'll go check" and "I'll go vote", and showed a comfortable smile.

Oh, "Young Hou" is so good. Since it was released publicly, Luo Bao has watched it three or four times. Every time I watch it, I have a different understanding, and every time I watch it, I cry and moo. He also brought many of his friends and relatives into the film, and none of them said it was not good, which shows the excellent quality of the film.

Such a good-looking work deserves the first place!

He happily went to Qijiang Video Network to check the current ranking of Fengjing and rewatch "The Young Marquis of Fenglangjuxu".

He remembered that it was ranked 18th before, and now it must be in the top ten. If they work harder, sell more Amway, and canvass more votes, then the top three should not be a problem.

Although their ultimate goal is the C position, the top three is also acceptable.

However, the moment he saw the ranking clearly, Luo Bao's smug smile froze completely. He opened his eyes wide, not believing his eyes.

What's going on? ? ? ?

How come Fengjing's work has dropped from 18th to 36th place instead of rising?

Luo Bao: A conspiracy! This is a naked conspiracy!
