The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

Chapter 427

He took on the role of the male number two in the first part, and the response after the broadcast was relatively good, so there were quite a lot of scripts sent to them later, and they all asked him to film.Some time ago, he was mainly busy with the concert, so he didn't have time to read the scripts at all. Now that he finally stopped, he had the time to look at the scripts sent by others.

Some of the scripts that were sent were not bad, and some of them asked him to be the first and second male lead, but there were also some for small roles.Zhou Xing himself pays more attention to the quality of the script and the director than being a male character in the play.

So when choosing the script, Zhou Xing and his agent still had a little difference of opinion.

"Nowadays idol dramas are so popular, and the male lead in this drama fits your image quite well. It can be said that it is tailor-made for you. Why don't you consider this drama?" In the two scripts, Zhao Gaoxiang wanted Zhou Xing to take over that idol drama.

And he thinks there is another very important reason, "You took the second male lead in the last drama, and you should take the first male lead in this drama. The drama I am looking for you to act in will only be the male number one."

"Brother Zhao, I don't think so. You also know that I entered the industry later than other artists. If I were eighteen or nineteen years old, it wouldn't matter if I took on a few more idol dramas like this. But you also know that I am now I'm already in my twenties, I don't have a few years of youth to waste, if I continue to make films that don't require much acting skills, it's a waste of time."

Compared with the script of the youth idol drama selected by the agent, Qiao Minglang prefers the script of a police drama, but he is at most a small role in it.But even if it's a small role, as long as the character is outstanding, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.

The reason why he wants to take this movie is the biggest reason. The director who made this movie is a relatively famous director in the circle. That director has made many famous movies, and he can act in the movie led by that director Most of the protagonists are some old-timers in the circle.If he can film with the seniors, he can ask the seniors how to act and learn acting skills.

If he wants to take this path in the entertainment industry in the future, acting skills must be the most important thing.

In their circle, what they eat is youth food.How long can you be an idol?At most, it will be ten years. After he is 30 years old, he will not be able to compete with some young artists for jobs.But if he can gain a firm foothold in this circle with real skills, let alone ten years, he can continue to earn a living in this circle for another two decades.

And his current choice is to lay the foundation for the road to go in the future, so that he can go further on this road in the future.

"Okay, what you said is also reasonable." Zhao Gaoxiang understood that what Zhou Xing said was also reasonable.After discussing with each other, the two finally decided on the movie.

"But I don't know if they have found someone there. When they called to ask before, you were still touring in various places. I want to call and ask them."

"Oh, that's good, you play." Zhou Xing knew that there must be many people rushing for such a small role, but he had been busy before. This film is gone.

When the agent was on the phone, he was listening by the side.

"Hey, okay, I'll take him there tomorrow to show you guys. Is it nine o'clock tomorrow morning? Okay, okay." Zhao Gaoxiang said a few words to the person on the other end of the phone, and after confirming the meeting time, he hung up phone.

Seeing Brother Zhao's expression, Zhou Xing knew that he still had a chance, "What do the people over there say? Has that role been booked?"

"It is said that Director Wang is not very satisfied after seeing several actors. You also know that Director Wang is relatively strict with actors. The person in charge over there wants me to take you there to show Director Wang, and asks you to try it out. The play can only be finalized if Director Wang is satisfied." Zhao Gaoxiang prepared Zhou Xing mentally, and Director Wang might not like them.

"Go back tonight and read the script carefully, memorize the lines, maybe tomorrow you will be asked to act in one of the scenes."

"It seems that the starring role of this drama has been decided." Zhao Gaoxiang also paid attention to the selection of this drama before, and mentioned the names of several famous actors and actresses in the entertainment circle, "If you can be selected, Acting with those seniors will also be of great help to you as an actor in the future."

Although Zhou Xing didn't want to take over the idol drama as he wanted, but from the perspective of a manager, Zhao Gaoxiang certainly hoped that Zhou Xing could go further in the entertainment circle.If he can bring out a Uranus superstar, his manager's value will naturally rise accordingly, and he will not be afraid of not being able to get along in the circle in the future.

"Okay, I'll definitely go back tonight and finish the script and have a good look at it." Zhou Xing smiled and picked up the selected script. Since he hasn't decided yet, it proves that he still has a chance.

As long as there is an opportunity, he must seize it!

After returning home at night, he also found the original novel to read, and straightened out the names and relationships of several key characters in the novel.The role he wants to take on doesn't have many appearances and scenes, but it also plays a key role in it.

In the middle of the night, the desk lamp in the living room was still on, and Zhou Xing was still sitting under the lamp reading a book, carefully pondering the character of the character in the novel that he wanted to act in, and while reading, he compared some plots in it with the facts about this character. The lines are memorized.

After waking up in the middle of the night, Qiao Minglang got up and opened the bedroom door to go out. He saw someone who was still sitting in the living room reading scripts and forgot to eat or sleep. He yawned and asked: " Shouldn't you go to bed? Aren't you going out tomorrow morning?"

"Oh, what time is it?...Okay, I'm going to bed right now." Zhou Xing looked at the time and found that it was past two o'clock in the middle of the night, so he hurriedly turned off the desk lamp and closed the script in his hand, and followed the young man back to the room to sleep up.

***

Their scheduled meeting time the next day was nine o'clock, and they left the house more than an hour earlier.They arrived at the place where they wanted to meet at eight o'clock, and after waiting for a while, Director Wang came to see them after finishing his work.

"Hi, Director Wang, I'm Zhou Xing." Zhou Xing saw this Director Wang on TV, but this was the first time he saw him.Seeing someone approaching, he quickly got up and went to greet Director Wang and introduce himself. He didn't think the director would know such a small person as him.

Zhao Gaoxiang also greeted the director.

"Hello." Director Wang is a director in his fifties. He has made several famous movies, so he is a relatively well-known director in the circle. Of course, he is as famous as his reputation. And his temper.

Basically, the actors who can get into the filming of their crew have all been seen and made by him. This is the biggest reason why the quality of the movies he makes can always be guaranteed.

"Then let's get started. Have you read the script? Pick one you like and try it out." After meeting with the person, Director Wang didn't say much, and started asking people to try out the play.

They auditioned for the play in a small room. Besides Director Wang, he was accompanied by two staff members.

On Zhou Xing's side, it was only him, his manager, and an assistant who followed.

Director Wang's new film is a gangster film. What Zhou Xing wants to challenge is a young policeman in it. In the end, he dies under the guns of the gangsters in order to save the male number one. What he wants to challenge is this young policeman. Before the last minute scene.

"Okay, you start." Sitting on the chair, Director Wang looked at the young artist standing in the center of the arena with serious eyes, watching him interpret the young policeman's struggle between life and death before he died, Knowing that it was a road of no return, the young policeman resolutely chose to follow the crowd to save people.

When he stood in the middle of the stage, this young entertainer was a completely different person, his light faded in an instant, and he became the little policeman in the play.

Director Wang saw in this young artist the vigor and ambition of young people, as well as the possibilities that can be created. What he wanted was such an actor to play the characters in the play, "It's okay, get up."

After the audition, Zhou Xing stood up from the ground, waiting for what the director had to say.

"It's just you. After a few days, when the time is confirmed, I will have someone notify you to come and join the filming." Director Wang showed a little smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was satisfied with this young artist.Hearing the director's words, Zhou Xing had a surprise smile on his face, he couldn't believe it.

"Thank you, Director Wang." Zhao Gaoxiang happily pushed the silly boy.

"Thank you Director Wang, thank you Director Wang." Zhou Xing did not expect that he would pass the test smoothly.

Director Wang stood up from the chair he was sitting on, explained a few words to the assistant who was following him, reached out and patted Zhou Xing on the shoulder, and said, "Go back and read the script carefully, young people work hard, there will be more in the future." More infinite possibilities."

"Thank you Director Wang, I will definitely." Zhou Xing watched Director Wang lead the people away before turning to look at his manager.

"Stinky boy, you're lucky." Zhao Gaoxiang knew that Director Wang was notoriously picky, and there were not many young artists who caught his eye. Otherwise, such a small role would not have been picked until now. .

Before coming here today, he had prepared for the possibility of them being dismissed, but he didn't expect their tone to be good, and he was taken by Director Wang.

"Hey hey." Zhou Xing smiled, feeling that his luck was pretty good.

After confirming that he can play this role, the subsequent matters related to the contract are handed over to his agent to discuss with their people, and he only needs to be responsible for going to the set to film.

***

The two of them came back from get off work in the evening, and when they saw the man who had returned home, Qiao Minglang asked, "How is it? Is it done?" He knew about Zhou Xing's audition today, because the night before he was raped by someone. I caught him talking lines with him, and caught him reading the script when I got up in the middle of the night.

"Guess, there is a reward for guessing right." Zhou Xing said with a smile on his face.

"Seeing how happy you are, it must have been done." Seeing the smile on this man's face, Qiao Minglang knew that his audition must have been a success.

"Haha, my baby is so smart, she guessed right the first time, and I'll give you a kiss as a reward." Zhou Xing pressed a big kiss on the young man's face, and smacked.Qiao Minglang glared at the man who took advantage of him, almost laughed angrily, "I think it's almost like I reward you."

"Haha..." Zhou Xing laughed loudly and said, "Of course it would be better if you are willing to reward me!"

Qiao Minglang gave this man a white look, and the corners of his mouth curved upwards uncontrollably.

The dinner was delivered from an outside restaurant. The two of them had a small celebration, and they went back to their room to sleep until very late.

Within two days, Zhou Xing learned from his agent that the shooting of the film will start on the tenth of this month.It is already the [-]th of December now, and it is less than a week before the start-up.

Taking advantage of these few days, he still has to finish some work at hand, and then he can join the crew to film.Otherwise, it will not be so convenient to ask for leave when I go to the production team.

Although what he got was only a small role in the play, Zhou Xing felt that he still had to take it seriously.

Before their movie was shot, the eighth happened to be their boss's birthday.

Earlier, Zhou Xing's manager mentioned that their boss was going to hold a big birthday dinner, and they would invite some artists from their company to attend.For artists like them, this is a rare opportunity to show their faces in front of the boss. There are already many artists in the company vying for this time.

After signing with Huanyu Entertainment, Zhou Xing didn't know until later that the brokerage company he signed belonged to Huangfu Group.

There should be few people here in the capital who have never heard of Huangfu Group. This is why Universal Entertainment has developed so rapidly in just a few years. The big reason is that the boss above is rich and powerful.Of course, this is also related to the vision of the leadership. The company has continuously invested in more than a dozen films, all of which are very popular, and must have made a lot of money.

The day before yesterday, after listening to their Brother Zhao, Zhou Xingcai knew that the biggest investor in the film they were about to start shooting was Huangfu Group, and the lead actress who starred in their film was a senior from their company.

He only met the actress from a distance when he attended an award ceremony, and he was not familiar with each other.

The jobs of their artists are not like ordinary office workers, they need to go to work in the company every day, everyone basically runs around, unless there is some award ceremony or event, everyone will meet and say hello Besides, they seldom contact each other in private.

After returning to China for nearly two years, apart from meeting some friends and artists in the circle at some workplaces, there is not much time for normal contact.

And because he himself is quite busy with his work, even if he has a better personal relationship with some artists in the circle, he doesn't have much chance to meet and have dinner with others and connect with others.So over time, even some friends who have a good relationship, because of the lack of communication later, the relationship will gradually fade, and it will become just to meet and say hello.
