The road to movie stardom for those who eat melons

([-]) Acting in a drama

Since the last time he witnessed the explosive scene of Xu Qingran's fans picking him up at the airport, coupled with the crazy energy of many entertainment reporters swarming in, Wen Ze felt that he was a salty fish who had seen big scenes.

Xu Qingran seems to be in the right place at the right time, and has been able to make films since his debut. Even though he mainly played supporting roles at the beginning, many viewers still remembered him.

So far, the only two TV series he has filmed as male protagonists have carried the banner of ratings and made him popular in the industry.

What's more, the second big-screen movie with a male protagonist won the most prestigious International Golden Tiger Award. It is definitely a path to becoming a "god" with almost zero chance of being repeated. In the past few days, he has dominated the most popular search terms on v-blog, and no one can match his popularity.

When I think about my current situation, it's hard not to lament the unevenness of life. There is an intangible and invisible wall between people, but this is the reality.

Life is difficult without announcements and filming. No matter how diligently I work behind closed doors, I can't achieve rapid growth in acting.

Suffering from the lack of resources from the company, it was impossible to join the crew for filming. I could only think about how to create opportunities to act. I really wanted to act. What’s more, there were many senior actors in the crew. Just standing by and watching would be a great influence. harvest.

If you don't bother to hone your acting skills, you will have neither acting skills nor connections, and film and television resources will not fall on you. If your outstanding acting skills are recognized by people in the industry, you can be seen by others and get valuable roles.

During the more than a month without any job, Wenze struggled, but could not let go of his obsession with acting. After careful consideration, he found resources on his own to hone his young acting skills.

It just so happens that Bao Yan is a senior student majoring in directing at Huaying University. He often directs and acts in plays. If he participates in it, he should have unexpected growth and spark artistic sparks in the creation of characters.

After carefully considering the feasibility of this idea, I finally decided to shamelessly approach Bao Yan and try my best to persuade him to let me participate, with the belief that it would succeed.

Wenze licked his dry flesh-pink lips and couldn't help but drink a few sips of cold water to relieve the tension in his heart. He rarely lowered his posture to ask for help, but for the sake of acting, everything was worth it.

Wen Ze thought about his words to make himself appear more sincere.

The v-letter chat page was still stuck on the last gossip. After thinking for a moment, I decided to use the usual way of greeting.

Wenze: "Brother, what are you busy with recently?"

I quickly received a reply from Bao Yan: "I have been busy arranging a new drama recently and the role has not yet been decided. The second male role that I originally agreed on actually let me go and directly went to another classmate to be the male lead. It is not honest at all. , it makes me very anxious, it’s really annoying.”

Wen Ze felt that it was God who helped me. The opportunity to act came. Although it seemed unethical, it was indeed a bit bad to have joy based on other people's troubles.

Wenze stood in Bao Yan's position and echoed indignantly: "That person is indeed too much. He has no spirit of cooperation and is not worthy of close friendship."

"You haven't found all the actors to perform in the play, so I would like to ask, do I have the honor of joining your new play?"

Bao Yan first sent a shocked emoticon, and then sent a text to fully express his doubts.

Bao Yan: "Brother, are you serious?"

Wen Ze: "I am serious, there is no joke in it."

The person on the other end paused for a long time and had no answer. Just when Wenze thought there was no chance, the message came.

Bao Yan: "If you are sure you want to come, the first male lead has been selected. Do you mind playing the second male lead?"

After seeing the news, Wen Ze's frown instantly smoothed, his tense state relaxed, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "I don't mind at all. I'm very grateful to you for letting me participate in the new drama. I will cooperate with Director Bao seriously. arrange."

While thanking Bao Yan, he also joked: "Director Bao is really discerning. I hope that under the leadership of Director Bao, the drama will achieve good results."

When Bao Yan heard the free compliment, his mood rose a lot, and he couldn't help but say: "Don't worry, follow me and enjoy the food, I'll keep it for you to enjoy."

Joking aside, Bao Yan couldn't help but ask, full of doubts in his heart: "Why did you suddenly decide to act in a drama? Is there something wrong?"

Wen Ze got rid of the big stone hanging in his heart and calmly told the reason why he was asked to participate in the drama. He was not worried about his friends knowing about his predicament: "I have been without work for more than a month. Let alone joining the group for filming. There are no arrangements for daily announcements, maybe they have been abandoned.”

"The most recent trip was that I took advantage of Qiao Yi's publicity resources two days ago and took a set of posed photos at the airport, but the pictures haven't been released yet. I guess the company wants to disgust Qiao Yi, maybe it's him He was eager to find another job, which annoyed the company’s upper management.”

"It's really hard to have such a day of nothing to do."

"I am not a major student, and I have insufficient acting foundation and experience. I was trying to figure out acting by myself. I felt that the results were not as good as I imagined, so I thought of how to sharpen my acting skills by acting in a drama. It just so happens that you are the best rising star in the directing world around me. We are both very interested in the work. We strive for excellence and look forward to our cooperation.”

Bao Yan's heart was a bit complicated. He felt happy about being recognized by his friends, but also felt sorry for Wen Ze's situation.

Although Wen Ze is not a major student, he has a very good acting talent. His acting skills are a little green, but he is quite spiritual and gives people a sense of surprise.

Bao Yan: "I am also very happy that we can cooperate. I believe that we will have a pleasant creation process and perform wonderful dramas together."

Wenze: "We will definitely do it."

"Do you need me to go there now?"

Bao Yan smiled and replied quickly: "No need now, just go to the Huaying complex at 02:30 in the afternoon."

"We will discuss the specific situation in detail after we meet. That's it for now."

Wenze felt a sense of relief that the dust had settled: "Okay, see you in the afternoon, bye."

After finishing the chat, Wenze did not lie down, but continued to immerse himself in the world of the characters he wrote, without any distractions. Serious men are the most attractive, as if they were standing in the light, making people unable to look away.

Time passed quickly. After a short break, it was already 13:40 in the afternoon. Wen Ze quickly took a taxi and took 40 minutes to arrive at the complex building of Huaying University.

After waiting for almost 10 minutes, Bao Yan walked slowly with his friend from a distance, holding a sun umbrella.

When Bao Yan walked downstairs, he saw Wen Ze standing in the shade. Both of them had smiles on their faces, looking very happy.

Bao Yan took three steps at a time and walked up to Wenze with excitement on his face. He hugged Wenze and said with a happy smile: "Brother, you are here. I am so happy to see you."

After a touching hug, Wenze patted Bao Yan on the shoulder, and a pleasant voice with a smile sounded: "Yes, I haven't seen you for more than half a month. I feel like you have lost a few pounds. Looking at Even more handsome."

Hearing the compliments about his weight loss, Bao Yan's smile became even brighter. His little baby face was very bright, and he couldn't help but boast: "That's not true. I also think I'm more handsome than before. .”

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Bao Yan introduced Wenze to the friends behind him. After they said hello, they moved to the empty classroom where they applied for a long meeting to detail the specific matters of the talk drama and make arrangements for subsequent rehearsals.

For more than a month after that, Wen Ze went back and forth between the apartment and China Film Studio, completely immersed in the world of the characters, and sparked artistic sparks in the collision of a group of young people in rival scenes again and again.

Wenze has a deeper understanding of acting, and his acting skills have naturally improved significantly.

Although they are all little-known newcomers to the entertainment industry, they all have the most sincere love for acting, are full of awe for the profession of actors, and hope to perform one full-bodied role after another through their own efforts.

For more than a month, Wenze's body and mind continued to practice at high intensity for a long time. On the surface, he seemed exhausted, but on the inside, he became more and more fulfilled and satisfied. He felt like he was so happy that he could fly.

Finally, when the day came to test the results, they stepped onto the drama stage provided by Huaying University and received thunderous applause from the audience of thousands of people.

The play is called "The Artist" and tells the story of a group of like-minded young painters. Their family backgrounds are very different. They are not recognized by their family and friends. They think that the art they insist on is worthless. Despite fierce conflicts, they do not give up their ideals. They came together in a difficult situation where they were not understood. They collided with different artistic creations and created stunning works. In the end, they achieved great success and received support from family and friends. They continued to wander in the ocean of artistic creation and bloom. Your own unique light.

Wenze enjoys the selflessness of fully immersing himself in the role on the stage, as if he is the same person in the play, the artist who dares to love, hate and never give up on compromise, the young painter who pursues his dream wholeheartedly.

He is so dazzling on the stage. Every move, full emotion, and powerful lines full of emotion arouse the emotions of the audience, and they can't control themselves with the ups and downs of the plot.

Even if he is not the protagonist with the most scenes, it cannot stop his eye-catching performance. He is really eye-catching. His superior appearance, combined with his smart character interpretation that makes people fall into him, firmly capture the attention of most viewers. sight.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the acting skills of the protagonist Chen Hui are not good. His acting skills are solid and his acting is a little more satisfactory. He is worthy of being a student in a major. It's just that Wen Ze is more attractive. The character he plays is so spiritual that it's hard to look away.

This group of people really paid a lot for it. The drama must be approved by Huaying teachers before it can be on the stage provided by the school.

Although there is no monetary income, it is very satisfying to be able to perform on stage.

If you want to be on the stage of Huaying's drama, you must get the approval of 2/3 of the judges and teachers before you can successfully perform on the stage. And Wen Ze and his drama passed unanimously, which shows that it can be called an excellent work.

Wen Ze, who stood in the center of the stage for the curtain call, couldn't hide his excitement. His clear eyes were full of light. He tried hard to hold back the moisture in his eyes and accepted the loud and lasting applause from the audience.

They maintained a 10-degree bow for 90 seconds to thank the audience for their enthusiastic support.

([-]) Rejection

The play "The Artist" was a complete success. Bao Yan and Wen Ze decided to have a dinner to celebrate and share the joyful fruits of their efforts.

As newcomers to the entertainment industry, most of them strictly control their diet in order to maintain the best weight for the camera. They do not eat much and only eat low-calorie foods, so they decided to go to a nearby Cantonese restaurant with high ratings. Relatively bland.

A group of young people in their early twenties just have a meal together. They are not as particular about the wine table culture as the old fritters who have been in society for many years. They can drink drinks if they want, and drink some wine if they want. They will not force anyone to drink as much wine as they want. The atmosphere is warm and harmonious.

Wenze enjoys dinner table conversations with his peers. He exchanges words from time to time and makes harmless jokes to deepen the relationship between them.

During the more than half a month of getting along, we were busy rehearsing the drama and had no time to take care of other things. However, there was one thing that made Wen Ze feel embarrassed. He Xi, who played the female lead, was always around him intentionally or unintentionally, and did not challenge him. Despite his love for him, he could only try to keep his distance.

As a young man with correct views, he will clearly and politely refuse a girl he doesn't like. The premise is that the girl speaks out, otherwise it will be very hurtful to refuse.

But on second thought, it was inappropriate to keep avoiding the other person. Wen Ze planned to speak to He Xi privately and make it clear that he had no thoughts of love in recent years and that pursuing a career was his most important plan at the moment.

She never thought that He Xi would boldly reveal her feelings after the dinner. When everyone was finishing their meal and saying goodbye, she stopped Wen Ze.

Everyone's eyes were slightly ambiguous, as if they were saying that they were finally here. Out of politeness, they did not gather around to watch. Instead, they showed teasing smiles and left together or alone.

The two found a cafe with a small crowd and sat in an inconspicuous corner. They each ordered a cup of coffee and sat facing each other.

He Xi's face was slightly flushed with alcohol. He didn't know whether it was shyness or alcohol. He lowered his head and did not dare to raise his head. He tightened his pants unconsciously with both hands, as if he suddenly mustered up the courage to raise his head and stare directly at Wen. See.

"Wenze, I want to tell you something."

"I, I, I like you."

"I want to be your girlfriend."

Her voice was obviously vibrating, and she spoke her true thoughts in one breath. Her blushing face was full of anticipation, and she stared at Wen Ze unblinkingly, not wanting to miss any reaction.

Wen Ze sighed in his heart. This moment had arrived, and he was thinking about how to word it to minimize the damage. He was sitting upright, his expression was very serious, his eyes were indescribably gentle, but his tone was particularly sincere and firm.

"He Xi, I am very grateful for your love. You are a very good girl with outstanding appearance, cheerful and lovable personality. Everyone is willing to be friends with you."

"You are very good, but I can't promise you. In recent years, I have only wanted to act well and make a breakthrough in my career. I am a person who cannot do two things at once. I can only focus on my career wholeheartedly. If I make friends If you marry a girlfriend, you will definitely owe her a lot. A relationship that cannot care about and accompany you will not last long."

"If we were friends, I think our relationship would last longer."

He Xi's eyes instantly filled with tears, his eyes were filled with reluctance, and his crying voice sounded clearly: "Is it really impossible for us? Don't you have feelings for me?"

Wen Ze was deeply sorry for this. He looked at He Xi firmly. Although he couldn't bear to hurt the girl in front of him, he still told the truth out of respect for her: "I'm sorry, I have no feelings for you. Your appreciation is that of a friend.”

"I don't want to deceive you. You are fine. You can find someone better, someone who truly loves you."

"But, that person is not me."

"I'm really sorry."

For the sake of his own dignity, He Xi tried his best to hold back the tears in his eyes. Even though his voice was trembling, he still tried to maintain his expression: "Okay, I understand what you mean. I won't stalk you. I I will keep my distance from you in the future, don’t worry.”

"You don't have to say sorry, you just don't like me."

"Now that I've made it clear, I wish you everything you want and a bright future."

"It's getting late, I'm leaving first." He Xi tried her best not to let tears fall, and said goodbye politely. The moment she turned around, tears fell from her eyes, and she left the cafe seemingly calmly.

The depressed Wen Ze stared at the coffee in front of him, blaming himself for not handling it well and still hurting the girl.

But he doesn't regret this decision. Since he can't treat a girl wholeheartedly, he shouldn't start. What's more, he should be honest with a girl who has never been moved by him and cut off the undue consequences.

Wenze, who returned to the apartment, confirmed that He Xi had returned to the dormitory safely and asked her friends to stay with her. Now he just wants to stay quietly and sort out his emotions.

After enlightening his thoughts, he immediately chose a classic movie and immersed himself in the wonderful plot of ups and downs, twists and turns.
