Hualiu Director

Chapter 154 Special Audition

Drinking between men is really a very efficient means of socializing. The three of them paired beer with hot pot, and they soon became congenial.

Like Lin Hong, Guo Jinfei is from Beijing, but he only studied in Shanghai, so the Shanghai Dramatic Art Center was the first thing he considered after graduation.

Although he graduated from the drama class, according to Guo Jinfei's own statement, his grades in the class are not among the best, and his appearance is not outstanding, and he belongs to the type that neither has an advantage.

So the roles he has been able to accept over the years are all supporting roles, and they are productions that have received relatively little attention.

By the time he finally perfected his outstanding acting skills, he was already at the stage where capital disliked him in terms of age.

However, through the conversation with Guo Jinfei just now, Lin Hong also thought of something, maybe Guo Jinfei himself thought of it, but he didn't say it.

In addition to his own condition is not outstanding, there is another place that restricts his development, that is his brother-in-law Lu Yi.

He also graduated from the drama, with his handsome appearance and outstanding acting skills, Lu Yi became a pre-star in the eyes of major film and television companies before he graduated. Since his debut, he has taken the script of the male lead of the hit drama, and his star path has been smooth. .

Coincidentally, Lu Yi's wife is the sister of Guo Jinfei's wife. With such a relationship, it is difficult for Guo Jinfei not to be compared by the media, and then Guo Jinfei, who is slightly inferior in all aspects, naturally becomes a green leaf. Gradually became Lu Yi's foil.

Although neither of them wanted this to happen, it was what it was.

It's just a pity that Lu Yi didn't really become a first-line superstar in the end, while Guo Jinfei was more active in stage plays, and it was difficult to get good resources in film and television.

"Brother Guo, my new film is about to start, but I am not satisfied with the profiles of a dozen artists. I saw your performance by chance today, and I feel that your temperament and image are very suitable for the male lead in my new film. I don't know your age. Is there a date before?"

After learning about the situation, Lin Hong sent out the invitation decisively. Of course, the first step is to determine the schedule, which is the basis of everything.

Guo Jinfei was also very excited. Lin Hong was the highest-grossing director who asked him to make a movie, and he bypassed Xu Lang and came directly to him. This made Guo Jinfei, who had always been on the edge, overjoyed.

"Yes, I have prepared substitutes for the few dramas I played a few years ago. Asking for leave is not a problem."

Lin Hong was also very happy to see Guo Jinfei being so active.

"Brother Guo, drinking is drinking, and work is work. I wonder if it's convenient for you to try acting now?"

"Now?"

"That's right, let's try a eating scene.

Suppose you are the owner of a small company. Although you look good on the surface, in fact, you have been tricked by a crow's mouth all the way through a lot of bad things. On the night of the New Year's Eve, you can only eat dry food in the wilderness.

There just happened to be a bottle of wine at this time, what would you say while drinking with this scumbag that you are getting more and more pleasing to your eyes?

There is also a moment when I will say some lines casually to play with you, and you just respond with your knee-jerk reaction. "

Guo Jinfei nodded, then put down his chopsticks and thought about it carefully. Lin Hong and Cheng He clinked glasses, drank and ate hot pot, and didn't bother Guo Jinfei, just let him think slowly.

About 2 minutes later, Guo Jinfei nodded to Lin Hong and indicated that it was all right.

Lin Hong hurriedly put down his chopsticks, and at the same time took out his mobile phone to turn on the camera mode and handed it to Cheng He. Although Cheng He was surprised that he became a videographer, he quickly adapted to this role.

This is considered a formal audition.

"action!"

In the picture, Guo Jinfei's face is half helpless and half lonely, and finally turns into a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.

"In the past few years, I have actually failed. I feel as bad as these two days. Let me know that my life is so embarrassing."

Lin Hong gave Guo Jinfei a thumbs-up in his heart, thinking that such a good actor can only be active in stage plays, the film and television circle has already reached this point in the inner circle of talent?

"Then do you still have feelings for sister-in-law?" Lin Hong suddenly interrupted and asked.

"Of course, of course." Guo Jinfei looked at the camera with firm eyes.

"What about Xiaosan?" Lin Hong asked again.

Guo Jinfei didn't answer immediately. He didn't expect Lin Hong to ask Xiao San suddenly, so his eyes subconsciously dodged a little, and then he seemed to have relieved a heavy psychological burden.

"It's true too!"

"How can a person be true to two feelings?" Lin Hong's question continued to be aggressive.

"I don't know either!" Guo Jinfei's eyes fell into hesitation and confusion.

"cut!"

Director Lin Hong and cameraman Cheng He couldn't help applauding. It took only a few minutes for Guo Jinfei to find the feeling and character state that Lin Hong wanted. This is definitely the most suitable actor for Li Chenggong.

"Brother Guo, I now solemnly invite you to play the role of Li Chenggong, the leading actor in my new film "People on the Journey". This is the script. I hope you can reply to me as soon as possible after reading it. I can sign your contract, set the makeup the day after tomorrow, and start shooting in three days.”

Lin Hong was very excited. He and Kong Xiao almost fought each other for the actor of Li Chenggong. Candidates.

Speaking of Lin Hong taking out a full set of scripts from his backpack, he believed in Guo Jinfei and at the same time showed his sincerity.

Guo Jinfei was actually even more excited than Lin Hong. He knew that he had succeeded in this special audition, and he impressed the young director with his performance.

Guo Jinfei got up, wiped his hands and took the script solemnly with both hands. He could tell by the thickness that it was a complete movie script. He wished he could read it now, but he still resisted to read it. Instead, he held up his wine glass and respected Lin Hong. a cup.

Lin Hong also picked up the wine glass and drank happily, but he didn't know that there was a brother in the capital who was still working overtime to browse and select Li Chenggong's role candidates.

After the supper hot pot was over, Guo Jinfei returned home before he even had time to take a shower, so he read the script with his wife Bao Li who was waiting at home. Bao Li also graduated from the Department of Directing, and her understanding of scripts is no better than Guo Jinfei Difference.

Then the couple watched and laughed, and watched while laughing. After reading the whole script, Guo Jinfei picked up the phone and got into trouble. He wanted to call Lin Hong immediately to agree to come down. I really like it.

But on the other hand, it was already one o'clock in the morning, and he was afraid that Lin Hong had already fallen asleep, and it would be impolite if he disturbed him.

Just when Guo Jinfei was struggling, he received a message on his cell phone, "Brother Guo, I'm going to bed first, if you agree to take on the role, please call me as soon as possible, no matter what time it is." It was Lin Hong who sent it.

Guo Jinfei no longer worried anymore, and immediately called back. Lin Hong over there celebrated with a punch. With Wang Baoqiang's Niu Geng and Guo Jinfei's Li Chenggong, his "People on the Journey" has at least succeeded More than half of it.

Lin Hong hung up the phone and immediately called his brother Kong Xiao who was far away in the capital.

"Hey, why are you calling here in the middle of the night without sleeping?" Kong Xiao's tone was full of resentment.

"Sleeping your sister, you didn't sleep either. What are you doing?" Lin Hong asked knowingly.

"What are you doing, what else can I do besides finding Li Chenggong for you, do you know that I haven't found anyone for a friendly match?" Kong Xiao's voice became even more irritable.

"Well, it's time for you to vent your anger. I have good news for you. Li Chenggong, you don't have to work hard. I found it. You all come to Shanghai tomorrow, so that the people in Yitian can also prepare and start the machine on time." Lin Lin Hong said with some pride.

"Lin Hong, I xxoo you, do you know how many materials I have read back and forth, and how many phone calls I have made? You have found all my hard work in vain, no, I don't agree, at least let me Come for an interview."

Lin Hong knew that Kong Xiao would definitely yell, so he held the phone away from his ear earlier.

"I've already interviewed and sent it to you."

Five minutes later, Kong Xiao called.

"Where did you find this actor, and what is the right salary?" Kong Xiao's voice was not angry, but a little happy.

"Based on the 20% premium for second-tier artists, he is worth the price!"

Kong Xiao really wanted to complain that Lin Hong didn't know how expensive he was if he was not in charge of the family, but he chose to believe in Lin Hong's vision. Since he said that Guo Jinfei was worth the price, then he must have something special.

......

Three days later, the start-up worship ceremony of "People on the Journey" was officially held in a farm in Jiading District, Shanghai. All the actors and staff members of the crew were present, and many media also attended the report. Then everyone was surprised to find Lin Hong's side There was an extra person, and it turned out to be the director Qian Ninghuan whom Lin Hong met in the variety show "Ask the Director to Coach".

This time, Qian Ninghuan's identity is the executive assistant director, and his specific job is to shoot some shots that are not difficult but require separate sets.

This is not Lin Hong's impromptu idea, but considering the time schedule, some shots that are not the scenes of the two protagonists can be shot by the assistant director. He only needs to review the content shot by the assistant director every day, which can greatly speed up the shooting. schedule.

And Qian Ninghuan is a new-generation director that Lin Hong is very optimistic about, especially his exploration and understanding of humanities in science fiction themes are very suitable for Lin Hong's taste, Lin Hong is determined to train him.

And Qian Ninghuan came to Shanghai after Lin Hong promised to give him an original script. He didn't even ask about the specific filming. The script was only obtained this morning.

After worshiping the gods and sharing the sacrifices, Kong Xiao gave out red envelopes to the cast and crew, and the filming of "On the Journey" officially started.

"The first scene, the first scene, the first line of "People on the Journey", action!"

With the laying of the slate, Lin Hong entered the familiar mode again. Sure enough, sitting in the director's chair and watching the monitor with the walkie-talkie is the most enjoyable thing.

"Look, it's all caused by melamine. How many dairy farms across the country have closed down. How can I give you money!" The farm owner looked like a dead pig who couldn't boil water.

"You said what does this have to do with me, we have worked hard for a year and want to get our own wages!"

Wang Baoqiang copied the Henan accent to fully express the honesty and simplicity of Niu Geng, or this is him.

"Cut! It's over!"
