Showbiz Prejudice

"Brother Zhao."

"Brother Zhao."

Passing by countless staff who greeted him, and walking through the long corridor, Zhao Jinglan came to the dressing room. At the moment, there was no one in the dressing room. His exclusive makeup artist, Alai, had been waiting for a long time. When he saw him coming, he quickly surrounded him "Brother Zhao, you are here."

"En." Zhao Jinglan just nodded slightly, then found her exclusive makeup seat, and sat down.

"Brother Zhao doesn't look very good today." This Alai is the exclusive makeup artist assigned to him by the crew, and he knows how to judge the situation. Zhao Jinglan likes him quite a lot, but at the moment, listening to his greasy tone is a bit annoying for some reason , not in the mood to deal with him, so he only replied a few words: "I didn't sleep well."

After finishing speaking, he kept silent, and Alai didn't say anything more. He was already used to the temper of this taciturn star, so he picked up the eyebrow pencil and started to apply makeup on him.

Zhao Jinglan felt pure at this moment, closed his eyes and fell asleep.In my mind, I still think about the movie book last night.After ten years in the show business circle, it can be said that he has secured his position as the first brother in the TV circle, but he can't do anything about it in movies. At most, he can show his face on the big screen. The director's new play was also snatched by another newcomer. Now that there are a lot of talents in the entertainment industry, Zhao Jinglan is sitting alone in a dilapidated building, so he inevitably feels a little anxious.

After dozing off like this for a while, a few noisy human voices suddenly came from his ears. He opened his eyes and saw a few more people in the dressing room in the mirror. There were men and women, looking like students, and they were very stylishly dressed. A girl's eyes were straightened when she saw him, and she showed an exaggerated expression as if she wanted to exclaim, but was stopped by the boy next to her.

"Zhao Jinglan, a big star!" The girl seemed very excited, and the white boy next to her grabbed the corner of her clothes to signal her not to talk too much. This boy was quite sensible, but Zhao Jinglan felt that the girl was really honest and cute.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jinglan couldn't help but smile. It has been ten years since he graduated from university. Nowadays, people in the circle are very slick, and it is rare to feel such youthful vitality. Zhao Jinglan secretly looked at him in the mirror These few students seemed to be curious about the things in the dressing room, and they looked around. However, the boy just now was quite calm, he just stood silently.

When Alai saw him open his eyes, he thought his sleep was disturbed, and he lowered his head to his mouth and quickly explained: "These people are interns. The director hired them to audition today. I'm not sensible enough to disturb Brother Zhao while you're sleeping. I'll let them go out now." As he said that, he wanted to send those students away, but Zhao Jinglan stopped him, and he waved his hand: "No, let them sit here, it's cold outside."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep, but he heard a soft voice behind him: "Thank you Brother Zhao."

Zhao Jinglan turned his head and saw that it was the fair boy just now, obviously he heard the conversation between himself and Alai, this person's ears are sharp.Zhao Jinglan nodded politely at him to show that he heard it, and when he turned his head, he saw the boy in the mirror still staring at him intently, as if he was looking for something to continue chatting with him, Zhao Jinglan avoided his gaze calmly, and his heart was already There is no liking for this person anymore. The entertainment industry is mixed with good and bad people, and there are all kinds of people. What Zhao Jinglan dislikes the most is this kind of person who likes to observe words and expressions. This kind of person is really too scheming, harmless on the outside, and scary on the inside. .

Alai also seemed to feel his disgust, bowed his head and whispered in his ear: "From the Academy of Fine Arts."

Zhao Jinglan raised his head and looked at the mirror again. At this moment, the boy had already averted his eyes. Only then did Zhao Jinglan realize that although his dress was very fashionable, the quality of his clothing was very poor, and he looked like a dusty man.The name Zhao Jinglan of the Academy of Fine Arts has long been heard, and it can be said that it is notorious in the circle. Few of the students who come out are innocent. Regardless of gender, they are all taken care of without exception. Many patrons are also popular, but their status in the circle is extremely low, and the stars from the Academy of Fine Arts are almost looked down upon by everyone.Thinking of this, Zhao Jinglan grew a little more disgusted with that boy.

The makeup was put on quickly, and within a few minutes the director actually came over and invited everyone to try out the play.Those students from the Academy of Fine Arts left excitedly, Zhao Jinglan raised his legs and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the director, with a kind smile on his face: "Xiao Zhao, these people are recommended by my friends, they are very qualified, Give me a hint."

Zhao Jinglan was very surprised when he heard this. Director Chen is considered a well-known director in the industry, but he has never heard of any relationship between him and the Academy of Fine Arts. He thought carefully about the doorway here, and when he followed the director out of the dressing room At the back, someone vaguely said in a low voice: "What is recommended by a friend, it must be a sold character." This sentence vaguely touched his mind, but he didn't show it at all on the surface.

When I came to the set, the heroine had finished acting in a scene, and the next scene was the meeting between the hero and the heroine. It was about the period of the Republic of China, when the heroine was forced to sell to the second-generation ancestor who smoked opium. , On the day of the wedding, the heroine ran away, but was chased by his servants, and then the hero saved the beauty, and a lingering love affair began.

This servant has to be selected among those students, and several of them are eager to try. The director points out one person among the crowd, you come.

Zhao Jinglan turned his head and saw that it was the boy who walked out of the queue just now. He was not surprised at all. Everyone was excited just now and only he was extremely calm. He must have already made up his mind.

It seems that this person has a close relationship with the director.

The director walked over to him, gave him a few lines, and then he talked about the play, and then began to act.Logically speaking, this scene is very easy, that is, the servant chased the heroine, threatened him fiercely, and held his wrist to prevent him from running away, but he was slapped backhand by the heroine to get out of trouble. Repel the servant, save the hostess, and over.But Zhao Jinglan didn't expect that the boy got stuck five or six times for such a simple role.

"Ka, be fierce! Show your momentum! You want to kidnap her, not fall in love with her!"

"Look at the heroine, don't look at the camera, acting is not for you to be handsome!"

The director's throat was about to smoke, but the scene was still unbearable. When the NG happened again, the heroine finally couldn't take it anymore. She waved her hand to signal that she would stop acting.

"Director, how do you shoot this? Such a simple shot can't pass. My hand will be pinched purple if it goes on like this."

The heroine's angry face, coupled with the reddish wrist, looks really pitiful to me.The staff next to him couldn't stand it any longer, and they were discussing one after another. Zhao Jinglan heard someone in the crowd say: "Sure enough, he is from the Academy of Fine Arts. He doesn't know how to act. He only knows how to take off his pants."

The boy seemed to hear it, his eyes trembled, but he didn't say anything. The director had no choice but to come to Zhao Jinglan for help: "Xiao Zhao, this kid can't act, go and tell him about the play."

Although Zhao Jinglan was disgusted in his heart, he still went. He walked in front of the boy, but the other party seemed to be polite to him again. He didn't give the other party a chance to greet him, and quickly cut to the point: "Your eyes are too affectionate."

The other party froze for a moment, as if he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all.Eyes wide open looking at him suspiciously.

"Yes, that's how it is now, your eyes." Zhao Jinglan said, gesturing towards the other person's face.

"Your eyes, when you look at anyone, seem to be looking at your lover."

"But what you're playing is just a passer-by, a secondary role. If you put too much emotion into it, the audience will feel uncomfortable."

"Be indifferent, understand?"

He watched the whole process from the sidelines, and he understood very well that the problem is not entirely due to his acting skills, but that this person himself is too dramatic, and there are too many emotions in his eyes, no matter what expression he makes, even if he just quietly Looking at each other, it seems that there are thousands of words to express. Such a person can't play a good role, let alone play with the heroine, because he is too cocky and will take all the audience's attention away.

Zhao Jinglan didn't care whether the other party understood her words or not. After completing the task assigned to him by the director, he turned around and wanted to leave, but was gently held back by a pair of hands.

"Is... like this?"

Zhao Jinglan turned his head and met the other party's watery eyes.

His eyelids jumped violently. The impulse at this moment was very strong, but he quickly suppressed it.

He shook his head: "You can be more ruthless."

The boy nodded, let go of his hand, and went to practice by himself.Zhao Jinglan returned to the director, thinking that this person is not without merits, at least his eyes know how to seduce people.

Later, the boy still didn't perform very well. The director tried a few more times, and barely picked the best one.Next, several other students also played a few tricks, and they prepared to go back happily.Before leaving, the boy stopped him suddenly: "Brother Zhao."

Zhao Jinglan turned to look at him, only to find that his face was red and swollen from the beating.The noise of the heroine's beating just now was indeed getting louder every time, and I don't know if it was for filming or deliberately venting anger.

"Is something wrong?" Zhao Jinglan replied perfunctorily, he really didn't want to have anything to do with this person.

"Do you think I'll be red?"

The sudden question was too blatant, and Zhao Jinglan didn't know how to respond for a while. The person in front of him had zero acting skills and an ordinary appearance, except for a pair of eyes that were not bright, and he was born in such an unreputable university. It is still difficult to reach the sky.However, in the entertainment industry, he would not easily utter such truths. He was thinking about how to phrase it, but the other party said again: "I will work hard."

"I'll let you see my name on TV."

Zhao Jinglan did not respond to these bold words.The boy didn't seem to want any response, so he turned and left after speaking.Looking at his back, Zhao Jinglan suddenly realized that she actually didn't know his name at all.

But forget it, who cares.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jinglan smiled at himself, then turned around and walked back to the set.

A few years later, the entertainment circle was full of ups and downs, and people changed several times, but Zhao Jinglan still sat firmly in the position of the first TV brother.And the boy who made such bold words at that time has long since disappeared. Like many people in the entertainment industry, he suddenly appeared and disappeared in Zhao Jinglan's world without a trace.
