He Zengren

The actress who acted with Zeng Luli was a third-year student at the Film Academy, one year younger than him, called Zhong Cheng, and she was also selected after participating in the audition.Zeng Luli had just met her, and without saying a word, the business director snatched her up and asked, "Have you read the outline of the script in the past few days?"

Zhong Cheng saw that she was a little girl who was held in the palm of her hand since she was a child. Hearing his question, there was no sign of fear on his face, and he said with a smile: "Of course I watched it. The lines of the previous scenes It's already passed."

After hearing this, the business director didn't agree or intend to refute, but just said indifferently: "Then do you have any understanding of the characters you play?"

This time Zhong Cheng was the first to reply: "The character I played, Chen Shaoru, is a supporting role for the hero Zheng Si, and she is also a tragic character. Because Zheng Si used her from the very beginning. , but Chen Shaoru has been kept in the dark all this time, being treated by Zheng Si as a ladder for him to climb up."

Dao Shang raised his chin at Zeng Luli and asked, "What about you?"

"I personally think," Zeng Luli said, "the outline seems to deify Zheng Si a bit. It seems that he was born at the bottom and has no emotion but only reason after working hard all the way up. But at many critical moments, even at the very beginning stage, he must have similar feelings of fear, confusion, and not knowing where to go."

He said so, but he obviously felt that the business director had his own considerations.If the role of Zheng Si is really only as one-sided as described in the outline, then the business director will definitely not be the famous business guide now.

Sure enough, the business director said: "You two's first rivalry scene is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. From today on, you don't need to read the lines in the script. While I am revising them, I hope you can just use Zheng Si and Chen Shaoru's way. Get along with each other until the first rival scene starts shooting, thinking about how to say the lines."

Zhong Cheng nodded with gleaming eyes, just like the "silly white sweet" Chen Shaoru in the script outline.

The hotel where all the crew members stayed was less than 5 minutes' walk from the studio.Zhong Cheng and Zeng Luli discussed going to the set first to find out how they felt, so they walked in through the side door in the dark.

The scene set up during filming yesterday has not been demolished, it looks like an office.Zhong Cheng walked over to sit on the chair, and asked Zeng Luli, "I've seen your performance in "The End of Time", but aren't you a non-graduate? Why did you remember acting?"

"I want to make money." Zeng Luli said concisely.

Zhong Cheng wrinkled his nose and said, "But you won the award. It's really lucky, the first movie that you don't act in won the award."

"Is winning an award important?" he asked.

"Winning an award means affirmation. As actors, winning an award means that you have confidence in this circle and can stand firm."

Her eyes sparkled in the half-dimmed light, with undisguised contempt and directness.Zeng Luli took it into his eyes, and what he was thinking in his heart was nothing else, but the accuracy of the business director's selection of candidates: they didn't even need to act, the conversation just now was exactly the way Zheng Si and Chen Shaoru met for the first time after changing their identities and professions.

Chen Shaoru was aloof, with a sense of superiority and contempt for Zheng Si, who was appreciated by the nobles after his Universiade.Preconceived ideas occupy everything until they are overthrown after getting along.

Zeng Luli smiled and said, "I feel that you have all the energy to play this role well."

Zhong Cheng looked down at the nails he had just made, and said in an indifferent tone: "Do you know how many people in our school alone want to take the role of Chen Shaoru? I have interviewed three times. I didn't pass the first round." , One of my seniors passed. As a result, she suddenly fell ill and had to undergo an operation, so I went for an interview, and then another interview. After three rounds of interviews, all the assistants of the business director knew me before I passed.”

She looked at Zeng Luli condescendingly, and said in the tone of an adult teaching a child: "So I say you are lucky. Director Xu in "Once Upon a Time" has been unknown before, acting in his play can neither make money nor earn money. No name. Who knew that this film was suddenly appreciated by the Sacred Heart Company, sent to the film festival, and even won an award. Then you look at yourself, I guess the interview for this film is very easy."

"Maybe I did hit the jackpot."

But he sure wasn't lucky in any movie.His luck should be on the other side of Baicheng at this moment, working overtime to process the documents.

The business director asked Zeng Luli and Zhong Cheng to get along with each other as the protagonists in the one-day break.But Zhong Cheng was bored in his room reciting his lines, and at night he carried Zeng Luli to recite his lines together.The next day, when the filming started, Zhong Cheng stood under the light after posing, looking at Zeng Luli with unfamiliar eyes, as if they had never seen each other before, and said the first line.

The business guide shouted: "Cut!"

Zhong Cheng froze in place all of a sudden, twisting his neck and waiting for the business director to speak.

"You see that Zheng Si's feeling is wrong." He simply took it.Zhong Cheng, however, became confused when he heard it. Originally he was very nervous because he paid too much attention to it, but now the rhythm of acting was completely interrupted. He glanced at Zeng Luli in panic, and his forehead was sweating quickly under the light.

The business director who was looking at the monitor said, "Give me some makeup."

The makeup artist quickly ran to Zhong Cheng's side with her makeup bag in hand.Zhong Cheng squatted down and let the makeup artist apply the foundation on her, and asked Zeng Luli in a low voice, "What should I do? Did I do something wrong just now?"

"You don't need to act," Zeng Luli said, "The business director only chooses people based on the fit with the role. You don't need to act, because you are Chen Shaoru."

Is she Chen Shaoru?Zhong Cheng took a deep breath.Chen Shaoru who looked down upon Zheng Si when we first met, isn't he the same person who talked with Zeng Luli yesterday?But if it is calculated in this way, then what is the point of her hard preparation?Anyway, you don't need to let yourself take on any role, just speak directly.

The business guide shouted again: "Action!"

Zhong Cheng also brought in his reluctance and dissatisfaction, and as if angry, he simply spoke to Zeng Luli in his usual manner: "Who are you? You run to my father's office every day?"

This time they performed the entire performance smoothly.After the business director shouted, the staff came up to pack their things, and those who discussed with the director ran over to speak.Zhong Cheng said to Zeng Luli, "Is this the end?"

Zeng Luli pointed her to a person sitting in the corner, and said, "He is the chief editor of the film, and all the materials for shooting must go through him and the commercial director before editing."

Then there are the cameras in several places: "The cameraman has to shoot from different angles every day."

The last one is where the business director sits: "He had to raise funds in the early stage of filming, draw sub-shots, and write the script himself, and he didn't stop during and after the filming began."

Zhong Cheng asked inexplicably, "What are you talking about?"

"What I mean is," Zeng Luli said, "the so-called actors are actually just a part of the whole filming process. We may be noticed because we are the hard work of the staff behind the scenes. But we must be clear in our hearts, In fact, it was the people behind the scenes who put in a lot of thought and effort.”

"There is no need to underestimate it, but there is no need to be too nervous or take it too seriously."

When Zeng Luli said this, he didn't intend to educate Zhong Cheng, but just wanted to retaliate a little against her undisguised sense of superiority towards him before.He told He Ning, who drove here on the weekend, what he was thinking, and He Ning said, "I think she can understand what you said, but she will definitely not change it."

But whatever.He Ren put the snacks he brought to Zeng Luli on the table, sat on the bed and looked around the room, saying, "The room in this hotel is too small, the bathroom partition is made of glass."

He committed an occupational disease again, and every time he went to a place, he would talk about the hotel in that place.Zeng Luli thought to himself silently, but drew the curtains of the room and opened a window to let the sunlight in.

The crew has meals every day.In order to save money, Zeng Luli usually squats next to the lunch box and eats the boxed lunch.It should have been like this at noon today, but He Ren came, so he went to a nearby restaurant to order lunch early, packed it and brought it to the room.

He Ren broke apart the wooden chopsticks and said, "I also brought instant noodles. I wanted to try it today, but I didn't expect you to order a meal for me." Then he asked, "Did your crew serve the meal? It's quite rich Yes."

"That's right." Zeng Luli moved a chair and sat down opposite him, and said, "This is the crew of a big director, so the treatment can be good."

He Ren was obviously also hungry, so he took a bite of food before talking: "Then you are amazing now. When the movie is over and becomes popular, I will ask you to represent my hotel for free."

"How about free," he said seriously, "There is no one who can't hire me for 2000 million."

"Little heartless." He Ren muttered.

While chatting, someone knocked on the door of Zeng Luli's room.He Ren squinted his eyes and stopped. Zeng Luli glanced at him, and a voice came from outside the door: "Zeng Luli? Are you inside?"

Light female voice.He Ren asked, "Is it Zhong Cheng?"

Zeng Luli nodded and raised his voice, "Yes. What's the matter?"

Zhong Cheng said through the door: "I want to talk to you about some problems with the script, please open the door."

He Ren put down his chopsticks and said, "Go and drive."

Zhong Cheng walked into the room and saw He Ren was there, he paused visibly, He Ren took a step ahead of Zeng Luli and smiled at her, "I'm his friend, I came here to play with him."

Zeng Luli took a breath, stood one step closer to He Ren, and asked Zhong Cheng, "Is there any problem with the script?"

Zhong Cheng stared at the table where they put the boxed lunches, and said, "I said, why didn't I see you at the place where the crew put the lunch today, so you went to—"

Zeng Luli interrupted her expressionlessly, and asked again: "Is there any problem with the script?"
