Temporarily open temporarily cool

Not long after Lin Guantao sent the text message, his phone vibrated, and the word "Li Ming" appeared on the caller ID.

Lin Guantao connected, and Li Ming's voice came from the other end of the phone immediately——

"Teacher Lin? Teacher Lin!"

Lin Guantao said "hmm", "Did you see my text message?"

Li Ming let out a short exclamation: "I see, I see..." He stumbled and said, "Movie? Mr. Lin, are you sure... I've never acted before... Last time I cameo in Teacher Zhou's MV I was scolded by the audience..."

Li Ming was aggrieved and complained on the phone about how strict the audience was with him. The MV scene, which was less than one minute in total, was almost like the bad movie of the year. Lin Guantao hesitated for a while, he really hadn't seen Li Ming acted, but subconsciously felt that this role was very close to Li Ming. For a role, the fit of the image is sometimes more important than the actor's acting skills, but no matter how suitable it is...

Lin Guantao turned on the speakerphone, searched the MV mentioned by Li Ming, turned down the volume and listened to Li Ming's chatter, and then he was shocked - Li Ming really didn't talk nonsense, His acting was really astonishingly bad. He looked small at the time, probably for this reason. In the mv, he was given the role of a rebellious kid, and even had a few lines. I won’t say what the effect is. Over the past year, he is the only person who can squeeze into the inventory of "those famous scenes with poor acting skills" again and again as an MV, which can explain the problem very well.

Lin Guantao turned off the video and interrupted Li Ming's chatter: "Li Ming?"

Li Ming: "...I'm such a miserable man, huh?"

Lin Guantao: "I just watched the mv you mentioned."

Li Ming: "..."

After a while, Li Mingqiqi Ai Ai's voice came from the phone again: "...Huh?"

Lin Guantao laughed softly: "The character I mentioned fits well with you, but it's just my opinion. Before you called, I had already recommended you to Director Wang. If you are interested, go try it out." mirror?"

Li Ming was stunned: "Director Wang...? Which Director Wang? Brother Lin, don't scare me!"

Lin Guantao: "Director Wang Qi."

Li Ming lost his voice completely, he hung up the phone in a daze, and sent a trembling message to his manager in panic or fright.

Not long after Li Ming hung up the phone, Xiao Wang's call also came. Middle-aged and elderly people don't like this way of sending messages.

Wang Qi: "Xiao Lin?"

Lin Guantao: "Director Wang."

Wang Qi: "I haven't found the rich second generation yet. I originally wanted to go to an acting school to pick one up, but I didn't find a suitable one. The guys in these years are too simple, and there is no money for large-scale auditions... you say Is this Li Ming expensive?"

Lin Guantao: "..."

Lin Guantao: "He has never acted before, and I don't know the price..." He recalled Li Ming's manager Yin Fengjun's behavior style, and he was almost sure that he could lure Li Ming in without money. If you want to study your drama, he is probably willing to join the group at a low price, let me ask for you? But he is a singer and has never been in a drama."

He typed while talking: "to Li Ming, the price?"

"Re, brother!!! I did it for nothing! Yin Fengjun is so fierce, he asked me to tell you that you can pay for it, give me a chance!"

Lin Guantao: "...After asking, he doesn't want money. When is it convenient to audition?"

Wang Qi choked: "Anytime is fine. Let me see what he looks like first. Xiao Lin, please send me your contact information."

Lin Guantao: "Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Lin Guantao turned around the actors he had worked with in his mind again. Li Ming was a fool and sweet, and Yin Fengjun was a stubborn master who didn't believe in metaphysics, and he lacked a chance to enter the film and television industry. Wang Qi's chance and they Impossible not to grasp, coupled with the rare image fit, it couldn't be more coincidental.

For the remaining few roles, you can think of many suitable ones just by going through a few circles in your mind, but some companies are so strict that it is impossible to see their artists run into a project that is almost a must-have. With Wang Qi's tight funds, there are even fewer people who can get discounts. If you want a cheap one, you have to find a cross-border person like Li Ming who lacks the qualifications, or choose among ordinary people...

Lin Guantao was conscientiously using himself as a casting director here, while Shen Xingbo was dumbfounded. At the premiere of "Scorching Sea", he followed Lin Guantao and agreed without thinking. When the script arrived, he just agreed. Knowing that I want to play a college student, this is different from "Scorching Sea", which has a historical background. Although the role of Zou Hai is relatively young, it shows more stubbornness and drive. It's not too difficult to pretend to be a young man. The protagonist in "The Lucky Ones", a real young man, can't be fooled by rubbing his face with loess at all.With a serious expression on his face, Shen Xingbo called up Chen Chen's number and sent a message: "Do you think I can look like 20 years old if I go for a stretch now?"

Chen Chen: "Get out, if you dare to go, I will resign immediately."

Shen Xingbo let out a "tsk", closed the dialogue window, and looked at the script again in a melancholy manner.

20 years old ...

He knows his reputation among the public, and he doesn't mind people criticizing him, but he has extremely strict requirements on his own roles. Every character he creates is worthy of the director, the audience, and himself. It is also the reason why everyone will complain about him while going to see his works with integrity.

And playing a college student... frankly he thinks it's a bit beyond his reach...

He rubbed his chin, and suddenly realized that not only him, but also Lin Guantao had to face the same predicament. Thinking this way, he took out the phone again, hesitated for a while, and finally called Lin Guantao.

Lin Guantao closed his eyes and half leaned on the back of the chair. The phone vibrated again while it was still warm in his hand. He opened his eyes strangely. Li Ming's contact information had already been sent to Wang Qi. Logically speaking, there should be nothing wrong with him. Yes.

Looking up, the three characters "Shen Xingbo" were shining brightly on the screen.

"Hey?"

Lin Guantao came out with a tired voice and electric current. Shen Xingbo didn't think about what to say, but now he was stuck.

Lin Guantao knocked on the outside of the phone in doubt, and said "Hello" twice, knowing that he heard Shen Xingbo's breathing, he stopped this stupid but effective Russian mechanical repair method.

Shen Xingbo: "Have you read the script?"

Lin Guantao: "Of course."

Shen Xingbo: "Then do you realize that the two of us are going to play two college students?"

Lin Guantao blinked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Shen Xingbo: "...I don't want to remind you, but I am 29 and you are 28."

Lin Guantao: "I also don't want to remind you that you just finished playing a role that was only eighteen years old."

Shen Xingbo: "...that's different!"

Lin Guantao: "What's different?"

Shen Xingbo: "The age is different, and the looks are also different. Is it the same to play a young man in the 80s in overalls and a kid in sportswear?"

Lin Guantao frowned: "Then what do you want to do, you don't want to quit, do you?"

He paused, and added: "Is it really necessary to be so strict? It's not uncommon for someone older than you to act as a high school student."

Shen Xingbo would not tell Lin Guantao, for a moment, he really thought about it, of course, no matter whether it was this sentence or this idea, he quickly stuffed it back, it was difficult for him to explain his thoughts to others, he knew a lot People have misunderstood him, thinking that he can play anything and everything well, but it’s not true, each of his roles has a certain similarity with himself, and he won’t accept anything beyond his ability. He doesn't want to smash his own brand yet, he will join in this time without even thinking about it, he doesn't know what's wrong with him, maybe the atmosphere on the day of the premiere is too magical, Wang Qi's words are too provocative, maybe it's him and Lin Guantao I was used to competing, so I subconsciously agreed first, maybe...

Lin Guantao tapped the phone case a few times irritably with his knuckles. Shen Xingbo's silence made him uncontrollably agitated. He didn't understand what Shen Xingbo was struggling with. He had seen how Shen Xingbo played Zou Hai. To put it bluntly , he may have a long period of time to act in the shadow of the momentary change brought about by Shen Xingbo. Shen Xingbo is a truly talented player. He doesn't know what he has to worry about. If the problem is anxious, it should be Lin Guantao.

But his anger quickly dissipated in the sound of breathing coming from the other end of the phone. The sound of breathing can't deceive anyone. He could feel that Shen Xingbo was really worried about this problem.

He somewhat confusedly let go of his left hand which was tightly clenched due to anger. This fact surprised him a little, perhaps because in his impression, every time Shen Xingbo played with him, he couldn't perform more easily. Therefore, Shen Xingbo was He was so surprised by the fact that he was troubled by a character, and it was a character that was not too difficult for him.

He hesitated for a while: "Or, do you want to observe the ecology of college students? I just plan to go to Z school."

Going to pick up to see if there are any actors that can be used, he added silently in his heart.

His voice was extremely low, and it was rare that he was neither cold nor ironic, and his whole person was extremely gentle.

Shen Xingbo was stunned, and said "You are not recording a program, are you?" He almost blurted out, but fortunately, his brain was faster than his mouth, and he controlled it, otherwise Lin Guantao would definitely regret why he took care of Shen Xingbo's possible fragile mood at this time.

However, he really breathed a sigh of relief. Didn't he just think about whether he was too reckless? What if Lin Guantao couldn't understand his thoughts? It makes people feel comfortable.

He smiled and agreed: "Okay, then I will pick you up tomorrow?"
