I'm not a good substitute

"Jindong, what's the matter with you recently, so absent-minded?" Song Zai asked Huo Jindong out for dinner, but found that Huo Jindong was out of his mind, and knocked on the table dissatisfied, "Lunch with me, it's so hard for you to let go Swallow?"

Huo Jindong managed to pull back his thoughts, and smiled, "No, I was just thinking, how can I properly show my weakness."

Song Jae couldn't hold back, and almost spit out the water he was drinking, "You, weak? You don't have anything to do with it."

He hit Huo Jindong unceremoniously, thinking that he wanted to follow this persona and route because he had a convulsion in his head.

"You're not an actor. If you want to win the sympathy of the public, what kind of weak route do you take? If you're weak, won't the people below be turned upside down?" Song Jae couldn't understand Huo Jindong, who had always been calm and restrained, suddenly had such thoughts.

Huo Jindong, who didn't know how to express it correctly, ate food silently, thought for a while before explaining, "That's right, I want to be pitied. Isn't it true that a friend in need is a friend in need, that is, I want to be with someone in need."

Sharing weal and woe?

Song Jae understood, didn't he just want to test it out, why make it so complicated.

He rolled his eyes and came up with a bad idea, "Adversity is not easy, just pretend to be poor. You just say that you are bankrupt, your situation is very miserable, and your family members have also severed ties."

Guessing that it was because of Zhang Yanran, Song Jae flickered without blinking, "Only in this way can we recognize a person, isn't it?"

In Song Zai's heart, Zhang Yanran must be the kind of man who would leave with money when he learned that Huo Jindong was bankrupt. Anyway, he didn't like Zhang Yanran, so he just took the opportunity to test him and let Zhang Yanran leave. Make Huo Jindong determined to see him clearly.

"This, you can't keep it a secret forever, right?" Huo Jindong felt that this method was not good, and pretending to be poor was not easy, especially for him.

Song Jae smiled, "Who told you to keep pretending? If he doesn't run away after a year and a half, you will "make a comeback". Didn't that Chen Yan get up soon, and now the business is bigger than before."

Chen Yan, thinking of Chen Yan and his lover, Huo Jindong became more confident.

However, he still didn't think about it, and decided to think about it for a while. This is not a trivial matter. Huo Jindong didn't want to destroy the trust between him and Zhang Yanran.

But at the same time, my heart was a little shaken, and I felt that this idea seemed to be okay.

If they are really poor, they will move out of the villa, maybe rent a small one-bedroom house, so there is only one bed, and they can sleep together at night?

Huo Jindong thought about it, and his mind started to sprout.

Zhang Yanran didn't know what Huo Jindong was thinking, he was busy urging his parents to go to the hospital for a checkup.I had a video with Zhang’s mother before, and heard that my father always felt pain in his body, so Zhang Yanran specially paid 1 yuan to go back and let them have a good physical examination.

Zhang's father has not retired yet, because the school teachers are nervous, so he is still leading a junior high school graduating class, and has no free time.

Dad Zhang mentioned this matter again during today's video, saying that he still felt uncomfortable.

Zhang Yanran's expression became serious all of a sudden, and he told him not to delay any longer and to go to the hospital for an examination.

"I'm doing a good job now, and I'm earning a lot of money, so I'll be relieved to have a check-up soon." Zhang Yanran persuaded, and Zhang's father finally agreed to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible, "It's probably a gastric ulcer, just prescribe some medicine and it will be fine. Your grandpa has this problem, you should also pay attention to eating on time outside."

Zhang Yanran agreed, repeatedly reassuring that he is doing well now, and that he will go home as soon as possible after graduation, so his parents are relieved.

The effect of the last filming was good, Guo De told Zhang Yanran that he got an audition opportunity for a supporting role in "Zi Fei Biography", and asked Zhang Yanran if he wanted to try it.

"As Xiao Liang's younger brother, there are usually few roles in the role, but this is a big production, and everyone wants to be in it. It just so happens that I have a good relationship with the casting assistant director, and he specifically asked me if I have any suitable artists. I immediately thought of you."

"You look a bit like Xiao Liang, and you're younger than him. Isn't it good to play his younger brother? Besides, the investment in this movie is big, and the pay is good. Are you interested in trying it?" Guo De persuaded on the phone. with.

As long as Zhang Yanran is interested, Guo De will win this role [-]% for him.

I didn't really want to go, but thinking that Guo De had helped me before, it seemed inappropriate to refuse all of a sudden. Zhang Yanran thought about it and agreed to go to the audition in a few days.

As long as the performance is more casual at that time, it will be fine not to be selected, so that there is no need to act, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Guo De.

"Zi Fei Biography" is a big project invested by Song Films. There are many partners. It is said that there are several first-line satellite TVs competing for it before the filming starts. Whether it is the screenwriter, director, or service, they are all top-notch teams. The main character is Xiao Liang again. It can be said that many [-]th-line actors are trying their best to win roles in it, so as to take advantage of the glory of the film king and Song's film industry.

Hearing that Zhang Yanran said he was willing to audition, Guo De was overjoyed, and suddenly had hope again.I think Zhang Yanran said that he didn't want to make a movie before because he didn't feel the fun of acting. After he actually performed in front of the camera and saw the scene of a popular actor, he naturally had an idea.

Although Li Qing is not a popular actor, he is also well-known, and his ostentation is still somewhat attractive.Guo De was not sure whether Zhang Yanran was influenced by this aspect, but he decided to instill in Zhang Yanran the benefits of being a popular star, and he must be confident that he can make him popular.

If Zhang Yanran knew Guo De's thoughts, he would definitely laugh and cry.

What kind of star, he has no plans at all, just to thank Guo De for helping him find a crew to practice.

Zhang Yanran went back to school and reported his practical experience and witnesses. The photo with Li Qing is the best evidence, and the payment and income certificate issued by the crew has also been completed by Guo De. , is indeed a reliable person.

The head teacher, Shu Xing, was a little surprised to see that Zhang Yanran actually went to the production team. She shook her head and laughed, "I thought you would find someone to fool you, a lazy bastard, but I didn't expect you to actually act."

Zhang Yanran was aggrieved, "I am definitely not that kind of person, and the practical credits stipulated by the school will definitely be enough."

"

The students in the class have already acted.Some even asked me to go out with me in freshman year, but they were not allowed, but they also started looking for production crews when they were in sophomore year. It was only you, who stayed at school until senior year. Recently, I didn’t have class and didn’t see you. Did you go back to your hometown? "Shu Xing teased.

It's not easy for Zhang Yanran to lie to the teacher, "No, something happened to a friend's house, I stayed in the capital to help, and now I'm staying at his house temporarily."

"What friend?" Shu Xing was curious.

It's not that she doubts, it's that Zhang Yanran is really an otaku, and he can't figure out what kind of friends he has, not to mention that most of the students in his class have gone out to film now, and very few stay in the capital.

Zhang Yanran laughed, "It's a friend I met outside the school. He is very nice. After graduation, I will almost finish helping, and I will go home at that time."

Shu Xing was speechless, she frowned slightly, "Have you decided to go home and develop?"

Zhang Yanran nodded, "Teacher, you know my situation. The family conditions are average, and my parents are not young. I want to spend more time with them."

Originally, I wanted to say that he is an excellent seedling, and he should develop more in the entertainment industry, but after thinking about it, everyone has his own ambition, let him go.

What's more, Shu Xing has supervised many students, and there are also extremely talented and beautiful female students who have started to care for their husbands and children after graduation.

Some have come back due to life changes, and some have happy families and live happily.Although Zhang Yanran's choice was different from most of his classmates, he had seen many of them over the years. The head teacher sighed and said nothing, which was regarded as respecting his choice.

"Okay, but I always feel that you will eventually appear on the screen. This is my feeling, and it's also a little selfish." Shu Xing sighed.

Zhang Yanran smiled, "Didn't I just shoot a drama? If it hadn't been cut, teacher, you would definitely be able to see me on the screen."

"Poor mouth." Shu Xing cursed with a smile, then asked him about the progress of his thesis, cared about his current living conditions, and let him go when he knew everything was fine.

After coming out of the class teacher's office, Zhang Yanran happened to meet Xu Xin, his roommate who was temporarily returning to Beijing. The two were very pleasantly surprised when they met, and they immediately made an appointment to have a small get-together.

Xu Xin's family has a little money, and he is considered a rich second generation. He has an average appearance, but he has some talent for comedy.

A while ago, I just joined a film crew through my family relationship and played a funny little role. I met Zhang Yanran just after returning to school from the crew, and I was naturally pleasantly surprised.

"Good boy, I haven't seen you for so long. I used to hide at home when I was on vacation, and I told you not to go to filming or commercials. I know you are an acting professional. Those who don't know think you are a pantomime professional." What?" Xu Xin put his arms around Zhang Yanran's neck, teasing for a while.

Zhang Yanran smiled, "Where does our school have a pantomime major, and it's made up indiscriminately. Let's go, it's rare to meet, and I invite you to drink."

"It's rare to kill you once, let's go!" Seeing Zhang Yanran, Xu Xin was also in a good mood, and the two made an appointment to go to a restaurant near the school to talk about their love.

After all, I lived in the same dormitory for four years, and the relationship is still very good.Zhang Yanran felt a little bit sad when he thought of the parting he would have to face after graduation, especially when he was going home and it would be difficult to meet these classmates who were busy in the film and television industry.

"Hey, it's not easy to mix in the film and television industry. Like me, I have some connections at home, and I can spend some money, but it's really hard to find a good role. I can only start with soy sauce." Xu Xin endured I couldn't help but started to complain, and while talking about some interesting things in the crew, I also started to complain.

Zhang Yanran persuaded, "If you don't like it, don't do it. It's good to go home and inherit the family business. At that time, you will be the best at acting among the presidents." Xu Xin's family has a company, and he is the only child, inheriting the family business Not bad.

Xu Xin took a sip of beer and shook his head, "I still think acting is good. Although sometimes it's pretty fucked, but most of the time I'm happy. I went to one place after another with the crew, met people from all over the world, and saw my own face. Appearing on big and small screens, this feeling is very good."

That being the case, there was nothing to persuade him, Zhang Yanran helped him refill the drink, "Everyone has his own ambitions, if you like it, you can continue to hang out. You are still young, and you will be able to make your mark sooner or later."

Xu Xin nodded with a smile, "Yeah, let's talk about it after a few years. I really can't do it anymore. I'll go home again."

The two exchanged cups, talked about their farewell, and ate a meal for several hours. In the end, Xu Xin was a little dizzy, and Zhang Yanran sent him back to the dormitory to settle down before returning home.

Usually at this time Huo Jindong has already arrived home, but now the room is dark, probably because of some entertainment, Zhang Yanran turned on the light, only to find a figure sitting in the dark, it is Huo Jindong.

"Why don't you turn on the light?" Zhang Yanran was surprised.

Huo Jindong seemed to have just recovered, stood up and smiled, "It's nothing, I'm a little absorbed in thinking about things." Smelling the alcohol smell on Zhang Yanran's body, he frowned slightly, "Have you been drinking?"

"Meet an old classmate, we had a meal together, and didn't drink much." Zhang Yanran was born with a light drinker, and only drank one or two glasses, and the seven or eight bottles of beer he ordered were all drunk by Xu Xin. In the end, his face flushed and his tongue grew bigger .

Huo Jindong still knew about Zhang Yanran's drinking capacity.Last time at Song Jae's party, he fell asleep with a slightly stronger glass, and now he can still talk and do things normally, which shows that he didn't drink much.

"Dinner has been delivered, let's pack up and eat." Huo Jindong took out the food on the table and packed it, which was still steaming.

Zhang Yanran didn't have much appetite, he would be full after just two casual meals, Huo Jindong didn't seem to want to eat much today, the two of them cleaned up the dishes after hastily eating.

Since Huo Jindong grew back to normal weight, there has never been such a thing.Zhang Yanran was concerned about his body, "Why do you eat so little, is today's meal not to your liking?"

Huo Jindong forced a smile, "It's nothing, I'm a little tired from work, and I don't really want to eat today."

In fact, he was still struggling, whether to take extraordinary measures to catalyze the relationship between him and Zhang Yanran.

Although Huo Jindong had confidence in Zhang Yanran's character, deep down in his heart he always felt that this method was not good, as if it was a deliberate probing, and it was not a normal way of communication and confession between lovers.

Thinking about it in reverse, if he is the one being tested, he will never feel at ease.

But Zhang Yanran seemed to be different.

He is kind by nature, and will give a bite of food to stray cats and dogs, and his image in front of him has always been invincible, making Zhang Yanran unable to show affection even if he wants to, and he cannot show his vulnerable side in front of him at all.

His mind was tangled in tugging, Huo Jindong still couldn't make up his mind, and he didn't want to delay any longer.He wanted to open up his heart with Zhang Yanran as soon as possible and become a couple in the true sense.

So today he was quite absent-minded, Zhang Yanran only said that he was worried about work matters when asked.

"I'm busy with work, so I have to pay attention to my health. What if the food doesn't taste good?" Zhang Yanran disagreed, and pressed Huo Jindong to drink a glass of juice before letting him leave the kitchen.

The juice left in his mouth tasted sour, but Huo Jindong felt quite sweet in his heart. Zhang Yanran was always like this, paying attention to his body inadvertently.

No matter how much wealth he has or how much money he can make per minute, what Zhang Yanran pays attention to is always his physical condition, and he refuses to let his work delay his health.

While tidying up the kitchen, Zhang Yanran was counting the dates. After two or three days, it will be the day Mrs. Huo stipulated for Huo Jindong to measure his weight. We can't let him continue to be anorexic for work. If he really loses weight, he will be punished. Money back!

Guo De acted quickly, and four days later he contacted Zhang Yanran to inform him of the audition time, and also sent him a short script, stating what he was going to perform that day.

In the current industry trend, even Xiao Liang can only get a part of the script before starting the film. For a small character like Zhang Yanran, it is not bad to get a part.

"Prepare well. With your strength, there will definitely be no problem. I know the assistant director of casting, and I will definitely give you a good word in front of the director. It will be up to you when the time comes." Guo De encouraged Zhang Yanran.

In ordinary dramas, the assistant director of casting can decide some unimportant roles, but this drama is different. Not only is the investment large, but the director Ke Bin is also a perfectionist workaholic. Even if it is a small role, he has to interview in person.

What's more, the one Zhang Yanran wants to audition for in the play is the younger brother of the male protagonist Zi Fei played by Xiao Liang. Although he is a playboy who eats, drinks and has fun, he does have several scenes with Xiao Liang, and it is also a small role that promotes the development of the plot.

The status of the opposing actors can easily affect each other, so even though it is a small role, it becomes more important because of the opposite scene with Xiao Liang.

The first round of interviews for casting assistant directors. In the end, the shots taken by them will be passed to the director for the final evaluation. After watching the videos, the director will personally interview several actors, and then the roles can be determined.

"I heard that the contract with Xiao Liang has not yet been concluded, and I don't know why the process is so complicated. Fortunately, this is also a good thing for us. There are many undecided roles. We will interview this one first. If we perform well, we may be able to do so." It's more important to play a role." Guo De calculated well.

Zhang Yanran hummed twice, a little absent-minded, he came here to see Guo De's face, he was not very keen on acting.

Huo Jindong's health has also improved a lot. Zhang Yanran naturally has more time for himself without his personal care for the past few months.It's boring to stay at home all the time, so I just came out for an audition. On the one hand, I paid back the favor, which is an explanation to Brother Guo. On the other hand, although I can't say I like it, Zhang Yanran really doesn't hate acting.

They were sitting in the dressing room. The makeup artist of the film crew helped Zhang Yanran put on her makeup. There were still a few auditions in front of her. They had to wait for a while. Guo De began to share some gossip with Zhang Yanran.

Seeing Zhang Yanran's lack of interest, Guo De threw out a big news, looked around, saw that there was no one around, and whispered, "This time Xiao Liang got a nine-figure salary."

"Nine digits?" Zhang Yanran was not very good at mathematics, so he counted with his fingers to confirm that it was hundreds of millions.

Although I don't do much acting, my classmates often go to the film crew, and they will also post some news about the film and television industry and the latest relevant policies in Moments.

Zhang Yanran hissed, "It's unlikely, isn't there a salary limit order that prohibits high salary?" Moreover, Xiao Liang looks very handsome, and he really doesn't seem like a greedy person.

"My friend at the Song Corporation told me that they signed a non-disclosure agreement. After all, it's the actor's first TV series, and he came back with gilding from abroad, so the pay should be higher." Guo De sucked his teeth.

When he first heard the news, he was also shocked, and he slowly digested it.

I've been in the entertainment industry too much, I haven't seen anything, it's just a sky-high salary, nothing more than pediatrics.

"The number of episodes of this drama is quite long, and the ancient costumes are hard work, so it is inevitable to ask for more?" He justified Xiao Liang, but in fact Guo De was also very envious.

Just one person has received so much salary, and his agent can also share a lot. If he has such an artist, he will have no worries for the rest of his life.

Zhang Yanran thought for a while, and still felt that something was wrong, but it had nothing to do with him, so he took it as a joke, "Even if it's one billion, it has nothing to do with us."

"However, if you can really help me negotiate a salary of one billion yuan, I'll sign it to you, how about it?" Zhang Yanran joked.

Guo De laughed, "If you are really worth a billion yuan, I will serve you tea and water, and you will be on the saddle."

The two laughed, knowing that it was a joke, they were very happy.

Soon, the assistant director came over and told Zhang Yanran that it was time to start preparing, and it was his turn next.

Zhang Yanran took a deep breath, although he didn't take it too seriously, he was still inexplicably nervous.

"Don't be afraid, this assistant director is my friend, it's guaranteed to be reliable, as long as you play normally." Afraid that Zhang Yanran has never experienced it, Guo De cheered him up in a low voice.

Zhang Yanran hummed, silently memorizing the memorized lines in his heart.After all, it was an interview. Although Zhang Yanran didn't really want the role, Zhang Yanran still felt that he couldn't embarrass the school's reputation. He had already memorized the lines and figured out the role in his heart.

The previous interviewer came out soon after entering, with a look of joy on his face when he came out, seeing Zhang Yanran who was waiting at the door, he gave a provocative glance and walked away.

He didn't perform much, but he was quite confident, probably related to him, Zhang Yanran silently came to a conclusion.

Guo De stared with anger at his arrogance, and patted Zhang Yanran on the shoulder, "Brother, show me a good performance and kill this person's arrogance."

A very unfair look.

When Zhang Yanran saw Guo De, he was mostly joking, but he didn't expect to have such a serious side, so he couldn't help but joked, "What? You can't get used to the relatives, isn't it that you have been squeezed out before? "

Before the words finished, Guo De's face darkened, Zhang Yanran thought something was wrong in his heart, he probably hit Guo De's sore spot.
