Memories that grew up with you

Chapter 73

The script written by Fang Xuan is called "Going Home".Through a script writing competition, her script was picked up by a famous director who decided to make the script into a movie.

There are three important roles in the script:

A dad and his two sons.The background of this story is the 90s.Two sons, the younger brother went to the city to study because he wanted to pursue his dream, and the older brother stayed in his hometown to work because he wanted to take care of his father and was not good at studying.

After my younger brother graduated, he became a lawyer. He had a good job and a good life, but the more he stayed in the city, the less he wanted to go back to his hometown, and he was even reluctant to admit that he was born in a small village.

Now my father is seriously ill, and I always think about my younger brother, so my elder brother went to the city to find his younger brother and came back...

Wang Yibo was invited to play the role of the younger brother directly without going through the selection process, probably because he played an unforgettable younger brother in the movie "Brother".

In addition to his acting skills, the crew also wanted to pick him up because of his popularity.In fact, serious actors are not willing to direct a role all the time, but want to break through themselves.So just hearing that the character is a younger brother and the movie is a family relationship, Wang Yibo didn't have much interest.

But after reading the script, Wang Yibo felt that this role was not at all like what he had played before, so he agreed to take the role.

As for the role of brother, Fang Xuan went directly to Xiao Zhan and asked Xiao Zhan if he wanted to try running for the election.

Hearing Fang Xuan say that that day, Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan were very surprised.Although Fang Xuan is a screenwriter, she is still a college student after all, and has no status in the industry. How can she take Xiao Zhan to participate in the election?

Fang Xuan said that her wish is to see Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan act together in this drama.So she begged the director and asked her friend to participate in the selection.Fang Xuan looked at Xiao Zhan pitifully, and said:

"Xiao Zhan, I was scolded a lot for begging the director. Look at me, how pitiful, can you go and participate? Otherwise, I will be scolded for nothing!"

Xiao Zhan looked at her dumbfounded.

Although this girl is about to get married now, her impulsive personality is still the same as before.Before asking Xiao Zhan, he did it himself.Wang Yibo raised his eyebrows and asked Fang Xuan:

"You are deliberately embarrassing Brother Zhan, so that Brother Zhan has no way to disagree?"

Fang Xuan clasped his hands together, begged for mercy, and said:

"Wang Nanshen, tell me, don't you want to act with Xiao Zhan?"

Wang Yibo said:

"You asked Brother Zhan to do this. The important thing is whether Brother Zhan wants to do it, okay? Don't treat me as your ally."

At that time Xiao Zhan turned to look at Wang Yibo and asked him:

"Does Yibo want to act with me?"

Wang Yibo looked at Xiao Zhan in surprise.Xiao Zhan has rejected quite a few opportunities to debut, now...

Xiao Zhan understood his silence and explained:

"I didn't want to debut because I wanted to be a designer quietly. Now I have given up being a designer, and I haven't done anything for the time being. It's not a problem to try it out. Moreover, if you want to act with me, then I Should have gone."

When Wang Yibo heard this, he immediately said what was in his heart:

"I want to! I definitely want to! Why don't I want to act with you?"

Therefore, Xiao Zhan went to participate in the election role.

These days, they seem to be back in high school, when they were working on "Brotherhood of Romeo."Every day, the two of them study the script, analyze the characters, and rehearse together.

Recently, Wang Yibo often thinks about how he became interested in drama in the first place, probably because he acted with Xiao Zhan that year.Then, in every play he has acted in, his understanding of the characters has the help of Xiao Zhan.

So now if they can be in this movie together, it's back to square one.Thinking of this, Wang Yibo misses and looks forward to it.

Each crew and each director will have a different way of selecting roles.In Cheng Yi's year, it was to see the character of the candidate, but Director Su wanted to see the candidate play against other actors.This time the director wanted to see the candidate acting alone.

When choosing a role that day, Wang Yibo arrived at the scene first, while Xiao Zhan drove here by himself.They didn't go together because they didn't want to be told that Xiao Zhan was selected because he knew Wang Yibo.

The director of this film, surnamed Chen, came back from a foreign country. He is about 40 years old. He has won awards, and the box office of his films has always been very good.But he is also famous for his bad temper, not much better than Director Su.

Xiao Zhan and the other three candidates took the stage at the same time.For the other three, Wang Yibo has watched their movies and TV series.They all have a lot of fans.Wang Yibo is confident that Xiao Zhan's acting skills are no worse than theirs.

However, Xiao Zhan is not from the entertainment industry and has no fans.The three invited by Director Chen seem to really value the box office, so Xiao Zhan's chances are not great.

Thinking of this, Wang Yibo's mood was momentarily depressed.

Director Chen greeted the three people and said to them:

"From one to two hundred and five, each of you choose a number."

Although the four actors didn't know why they were chosen, they each quickly said a number.Xiao Zhan chose 85.

In the audience, Wang Yibo smiled, he knew why Xiao Zhan chose 85.If you could choose from one to one thousand, Xiao Zhan would definitely choose eight hundred and five.Wang Yibo thought, his brother Zhan really understands fun.

Director Chen asked again:

"Now each of you tell me what to write in the script on the page you choose."

The whole audience was stunned.

What kind of strange test is this?Who reads a script and notices which plot is on which page?

On stage, except for Xiao Zhan who was still calm, the other three actors looked embarrassed and dissatisfied.Director Chen asked:

"I chose the actor on page seven, what do you think?"

The seventh page is fairly easy, and the opening segment can probably be guessed, so the actor said:

"This piece is about the elder brother taking the younger brother to the train station and sending the younger brother to study in the city."

Director Chen laughed and said:

"Good guess. Unfortunately, that's on page eight. Next..."

He just asked one after another, and he laughed at the actors who answered incorrectly, without giving anyone face at all.

At that time, Wang Yibo sighed, how lucky he was to meet Cheng Yi when he entered the industry.

Xiao Zhan was the last person to be asked.He said:

"The fifth page of No. 80 is written about the quarrel between the elder brother and the younger brother. The younger brother went home and wanted to leave in a few days, so the older brother got angry and quarreled with him."

Director Chen obviously wanted to make it difficult for an actor by asking these questions, and he himself didn't seem to expect that anyone would be able to answer them correctly.Director Chen looked at the script in his hand, his expression became more and more complicated.Seeing Director Chen's expression, the others knew that Xiao Zhan had answered correctly, and they were all surprised.

Only Wang Yibo is not surprised.His brother Zhan is a top student, he has a very good memory, he has already memorized the script.Also, the way Xiao Zhan endorses is very special, Wang Yibo has seen it since he was in high school.

He doesn't memorize page after page.He read it first, divided the book into several parts, and looked at the general content of each part.Then it is further subdivided and read like this.So Xiao Zhan will probably remember what is written on any page.

Director Chen raised his eyebrows, looked at Xiao Zhan, and asked:

"How do you remember?"

Wang Yibo really wanted to ask Director Chen what problem he had.People don't remember, he laughed.People remember, he asked "how do you remember"!

But Xiao Zhan said calmly:

"I don't know either, I just remember."

Director Chen asked him at that time:

"Did you get good grades in school?"

Xiao Zhan is neither proud nor showing off:

"okay."

Director Chen made things difficult for him again:

"The role of brother is not very smart, and he is not very good at studying. If you are such a top student, you shouldn't be suitable for the role, right?"

Wang Yibo's fists were hardened.

Xiao Zhan still casually said:

"I'm not sure if it's suitable or not. As the director, only you can be sure. Or should I act first, and you can judge after watching it?"

At that time, Director Chen showed a satisfied smile and said:

"It's pretty good at talking. Okay, let's start acting. Whichever page you chose just now, you can play that page now. If you don't remember, read the script and give you 5 minutes. No one will act against each other. Imagine for yourself."

It's really hard to act like this.Maybe it's like a crazy person talking to himself.

Wang Yibo watched the performances one after another.

The other three actors are really not used to this kind of acting, and they all didn't do very well.

When it was Xiao Zhan's turn, Director Chen smiled and said:

"Okay, Xueba with a good memory, let me see if you are suitable for the role!"

His tone was harsh, implying "you won't fit in".But Xiao Zhan didn't appear to be irritated either.He glanced at Wang Yibo off the stage, and the two of them looked at each other for a while, then Xiao Zhan began to enter the scene.

Xiao Zhan stood alone on the stage, playing the role of brother arguing with younger brother.But when he was acting, everyone seemed to see a person arguing with him in front of him.Both Xiao Zhan's tone of voice and his body language are very realistic.

Wang Yibo knows that Xiao Zhan is imagining that Wang Yibo is in front of him, acting against him.

Xiao Zhan ran from one end of the stage to the center of the stage, as if he was chasing someone, shouting while running:

"Brother! Don't go! Stop!"

Then, it seemed that the person he was chasing stopped, and Xiao Zhan also stopped.Xiao Zhan asked the other party in a sad and angry tone:

"Can't you stay a few more days? You haven't been home for several years. How busy are you at work? Dad is like that now, why don't you stay with him for a few more days?"

In the audience, Wang Yibo said his brother's words with his lips:

"Ask me to stay for a few more days? Good! I want to stay too! But do you think there is a good place to stay in our house? Can you give me a comfortable environment to live in? Stay if you can!"

On the stage, Xiao Zhan was about to explode. He pointed to the front, his fingers trembling all the time, so angry that he was almost speechless:

"You...you say...you don't want to stay...because you're at home...you're not comfortable at home?"

Wang Yibo continued to talk with his lips off the stage, he has also entered the play now, he feels that he is standing on the stage, acting against Xiao Zhan.

"What? Did I say something wrong? What about the money I sent you in the past few years? Why didn't I even buy a mattress? The bed is so hard, is it for people to sleep on?"

Xiao Zhan reached out and grabbed his "brother" by the collar, as if he wanted to hit him.Xiao Zhan's whole body trembled, his eyes were red, and he was really speechless.

Director Chen said loudly:

"Stop! Alright!"

Xiao Zhan put down his hand, but he hasn't recovered yet, still in the character's state.

Director Chen called him:

"Xiao Zhan!"

Xiao Zhan turned around slowly, but his breathing still hadn't calmed down.Director Chen asked him with a smile:

"How old are you?"

Xiao Zhan said:

"21 is old."

Director Chen asked:

"Which movie did you act in? Which director filmed it?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head and said:

"I've never acted."

Director Chen looked surprised, and asked again:

"Who is the teacher who asked you to act?"

Xiao Zhan said:

"I didn't study acting."

At that time, Director Chen couldn't help exclaiming two sentences in English:

"WhatAreyoukiddingme, you mean you haven't studied acting, you haven't acted, not at all? You can act like this without studying at all?"

Xiao Zhan simply said "thank you" to him.

Director Chen nodded, looked at Xiao Zhan, and said:

"Xiao Zhan, you are very perceptive. But I want to ask you some questions."

Director Chen asked him:

"Why did you want to play this role?"

Xiao Zhan seemed to have returned to his usual state at that time, and smiled and said:

"Because I want to act with my idol."

Wang Yibo was almost drunk.

Director Chen continued to ask:

"Who is your idol?"

Xiao Zhan turned to the audience, looked into Wang Yibo's eyes, and said:

"Wang Yibo. Wang Yibo is my idol."
