Chapter 326 Great Kindness and Virtue (Two in One)
“Deng Jie!”
“Sister Deng Jie!”
Looking at the oncoming Qiu Peining and others, Deng Jie smiled In response, he walked lightly, as if he was in the clouds.
But when she returned to the room, she bumped into the naturally beautiful Le Yun and immediately fell from the clouds, feeling uneasy.
I am dark and thin, only 1.56 meters tall. I am the shortest in the entire training class, and I am not worthy of Wang Xifeng's image at all.
Because of the disadvantage of height, I also suffered a lot in the Chengdu Theater Company. When acting in costume dramas, I could only play those bouncing little maids who would never grow up, even the third or fourth rate. The young lady doesn’t get her turn either.
After finally performing in a modern play, the leader of the troupe thought she was short, so he replaced her with someone who was taller than her but whose performance was not as good as her.
Thinking of this, his eyes gradually dimmed. He sat on the bed, leaned against the wall, hugged his knees with his hands, and curled up into a ball.
In the midst of frustration, every time I think of Teacher Fang’s encouragement, a warm current slowly flows out.
After a while, the sound of trivial footsteps and the chatter of girls could be heard in the corridor outside the house.
"Sister Pei Ning, how was your performance?"
"The performance was terrible. I think I will disappoint Teacher Fang."
"No way, Pei. Sister Ning, you obviously performed very well, Director Wang and others praised you! Like me, I really failed at acting!"
"Xiaoxu, don't worry, maybe it's not as bad as you think." Zhang Li comforted Chen Xiaoxu and the other three, "Even if it's just a role. Damn, aren’t there other characters?”
Gong Ying asked: "Xiaoxu, how many roles have you played?"
"Three."
Chen Xiaoxu stretched out three slender fingers, "Zhang Li, you also played three ”
< br>Zhang Li hummed, "Jia Yingchun, Zijuan, and 'Xue Baochai' suggested by Teacher Fang."
Gong Ying had an idea, "How about we use playing cards to count?"
Qiu Peining and the other three, look at me and I look at you.
"Poker cards can also tell fortunes?"
"Of course!" Gong Ying rubbed his hands excitedly, "My brother-in-law taught me this, and the fortune telling is pretty accurate."< br>
Chen Xiaoxu blinked, "Teacher Fang still knows fortune telling?"
As soon as they heard "Teacher Fang", Qiu Peining and others were eager to try it, and followed her into the room.
When Gong Ying was holding the playing cards, he noticed Deng Jie who was in a daze and took the initiative to extend an olive branch:
"Sister Deng Jie, do you want to come and tell your fortune too?"
"What's going on? "Forget it?"
Deng Jie came to her senses and raised her head.
“This heart peach is used to test love and marriage, and this plum blossom is friendship and popularity.”
Gong Ying skillfully took out playing cards of four colors and explained: "This square is wealth and career..."
Deng Jie was extremely confused.
Even if a fortune teller can tell you that you will be rich, have no disaster or illness, and even predict that you will have a happy husband in the future, you can't predict that you will grow 10 centimeters overnight, right?
So he declined politely and just sat on the edge of the bed, quietly watching Gong Ying tell Chen Xiaoxu and the other three's fortunes.
“Judging from the cards, Sister Zhang Li will have a successful career in the future and a bright future. It is estimated that nine out of ten she will be able to play the role of ‘Xue Baochai’.”
"Is it so mysterious?"
Seeing that Zhang Li chose a career, Qiu Peining asked Gong Ying to help her test love and marriage.
Gong Ying took out J, Q, K and 10 from the deck, arranged the playing cards into two horizontal rows, five cards in each row, and then arranged three cards under the two rows, all the cards Face up.
"Sister Peining, if you can get 10 points from 10 cards, it means you will definitely find a good match."
"If the remaining cards are double If you count, it means your Mr. Right has appeared.”
"What if it's an odd number?"
Compared to Qiu Peining, Zhang Li and Chen Xiaoxu are obviously more interested in her love and marriage.
"That means there will be men who have a crush on you recently..."
Watching Gong Ying turning over the playing cards one by one, Qiu Peining was nervous with a hint of expectation.
When the seventh card is turned over, the points of the poker cards have reached 10 points, and the number of remaining cards in the hand is an even number.
Your Mr. Right has appeared? !
Xia Minghui's voice came from outside the house, asking the girls to gather in the open space downstairs.
"Don't forget it yet, let's go down quickly. It's time for Director Wang and others to announce the list of roles."
Deng Jie reminded Chen Xiaoxu and the others, walking in a hurry.
On the open space on the first floor, Wang Fulin and Fang Yan stood in the middle. On the left and right sides stood Xia Minghui, Wang Gui'e, and Li Zhixin, who played Jia Zhen. They were all casting directors and training class members. Most of the actors were selected by them.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!"
Wang Fulin cleared his throat and held a piece of paper with the results of the first round of role auditions densely written on it.
"The actors who will play the role of Lin Daiyu are tentatively named Zhang Lei, Zhang Jinglin, Chen Xiaoxu, Wang Xiaojie..."
Deng Jie listened to the announcement of the candidates for the role of Lin Daiyu, and her heart was calm.
After all, I am older, I am not an innocent, poetic girl, nor do I have the sentimental, sentimental temperament.
Next, Xia Minghui announced the list of names for the role of "Xue Baochai", "Yuan Mei, Guo Xiaozhen, Cheng Mei, and Zhang Li."
"Wow!"
The crowd immediately burst into laughter. Exclaimed, pairs of eyes stared at the girls whose names had just been reported.
Gong Ying applauded and said with a smile: "Sister Zhang Li, look at my calculations, am I very accurate?" That’s good.” Qiu Peining pursed her lips and said, “Teacher Fang’s vision is also good.”
Zhang Li was surrounded by her friends, with bursts of applause ringing in her ears. She was at a loss for a moment and just felt incredible.
Looking through the crowd, he stared at Fang Yan meaningfully.
“Huh~”
Deng Jie took a deep breath, feeling no trace of jealousy or grievance in her heart. She must be self-aware, and she is not gentle and elegant. Eyes like water apricots."
“Next, is Wang Xifeng’s candidate actor.”
As soon as these words came out, the tall Zhou Yue and Le Yun raised their chins, like two competing white swans, and looked at each other.
Deng Jie's eyes dimmed when she saw this. Especially when she heard the names of Zhou Yue and Le Yun, her mood fell to the bottom.
“This is the third one.”
Fang Yan smiled and said, “That’s Deng Jie!”
“Huh?!”
Suddenly, the whole place was in an uproar and screamed again and again.
Not only the actors who were not selected for "Wang Xifeng", but also Zhou Yue and Le Yun who were selected looked in disbelief.
Dark, thin, and short, even her eyes are far behind compared to Le Yun’s natural red and phoenix eyes!
Deng Jie was struck by lightning, her head buzzed and went blank, how could this be possible!
"Sister Deng Jie, congratulations!"
Gong Ying was the first to take the lead in congratulating him.
Soon, Qiu Peining, Chen Xiaoxu and others also sent blessings, and their laughter was like silver bells, ringing in the spring breeze.
Deng Jie was so excited that she could hardly speak. Her eyes searched wildly in the crowd, and finally found Fang Yan.
A feeling of emotion suddenly came to my heart, tears and mist intertwined.
…………After reading out all the lists, Wang Fulin looked around and solemnly said:
“This is not the final list of actors. Who will be chosen in the end depends on your performance in the role.”
“There are also some vacant roles, such as Jia Baoyu , we will continue to search all over the country. In a few days, Teacher Fang, Teacher Wang, Teacher Xia and I will go to Chengdu again, so this time is very tight."
While speaking, He turned to look at Fang Yan and motioned for him to speak.
"I have discussed with Director Wang and I will give you your first acting class this afternoon."
Fang Yan stretched out a finger, "The content is about how actors immerse themselves in the play and how to withdraw from the role."
"Teacher Fang, isn't it good to immerse yourself in the play?"
< br>Chen Xiaoxu raised his hand bravely.
“This is a good question.”
“When filming, it is a good thing for the actors to be involved in the play, otherwise, the character will lack tension and look dry.”
< br>
"But if you can't appear in the drama, it may affect your daily life outside the drama. After all, the character and yourself are two different things..."
Fang Yan stared at her. This person was obviously the protagonist who was too deeply involved in the drama. , regard Lin Daiyu’s life as her own.
Seeing everyone talking and whispering to each other, Deng Jie was suddenly called out by Li Yaozong and Wang Fulin alone.
“Xiaojie.”
Wang Fulin directly said that the reason why she became one of Wang Xifeng’s candidate actors was mainly because Teacher Fang fought hard to get her.
"You may also know that this height issue is the biggest obstacle for you to play Sister Feng." Li Yaozong said: "But Teacher Fang successfully convinced us."
Deng Jie was surprised and happy, and it turned out to be the case. Teacher Fang!
"But Deng Jie, I still want to advise you."
Li Yaozong said: "Although your skit performance this time was well received by everyone, and Teacher Fang also put forward Use lenses and props to make up for your shortcomings, But you have to know that your other conditions are still worse than Le Yun's."
Then he paused and said, "Don't mind, I don't mean to belittle you, but we have to deal with " "A Dream of Red Mansions"Responsible!"
Deng Jie's heart skipped a beat, as if a basin of cold water had been poured down on her, cooling her whole body.
"The next five sketches of Sister Feng will be rehearsed. They are all very difficult and life-threatening."
Wang Fulin said truthfully: "Even if you make these five sketches perfect, , and may not be able to use you, so I added a 'Qiao Ping'er Ruan' to you privately. If you do all these things well in the skit about "saving Jia Lian", you won't lose everything in the end."
"Thank you, Director Wang, and thank you, Teacher Li."
Although the truth is hard to hear, But Deng Jie can feel the deep care and concern, which makes her unable to get a single role.
Wang Fulin smiled and said, "Okay, let's go and say thank you to Teacher Fang."
Deng Jie nodded, and then walked to Fang Yan.
Chen Xiaoxu, Zhang Li, Gong Ying and others were surrounding him. They were chatting enthusiastically, talking and laughing.
Fang Yan noticed Deng Jie out of the corner of his eye.
Deng Jie pondered what to say all the way and suddenly got stuck.
"Fang...Teacher Fang, thank you."
"You're welcome, you deserve it. Your performance as Wang Xifeng was very good." Fang Yan said as he walked.
“Really!”
“Don’t you think so?”
“Except for you, no one on the crew thinks I played Wang Xifeng well.” Deng Jie Secretly stirring the corner of his clothes, "I am the kind of person who can't be found in a crowd."
Dialect said: "But has anyone ever told you that you are very photogenic?"
Deng Jie said happily: "Photogenic?"
"Some actresses are very photogenic outside the camera." Beautiful, but on the screen, it’s just mediocre.”
Fang Yan said: "But you are different. You have a photogenic face. This advantage, even Le Yun cannot compare with you."
Deng Jie's eyes lit up, then dimmed in an instant, "But Her height advantage is something I can’t compare to.”
"Wrong! Big mistake!"
Fang Yan said: "Don't forget, you are an actor. Your lack of height can not only be made up for by lenses and props, but also by acting skills and aura. , there is a saying called , 'Height is 1.5 meters, and the aura is 2.8 meters.' Napoleon is so short, he can still command thousands of troops!"
"Ah!"
Deng Jie was impressed by him! The empowerment was almost overflowing.
“Your biggest problem is not your height, but your understanding.”
Fang Yan said: "You just integrated the fierceness of the Sichuan girl into Wang Xifeng, but you did not show the strong and shrewd side of her strong woman."
Deng Jie frowned, still between understanding and not understanding.
"Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng, I sigh at your good fortune and at the same time lament your bad fate. I say that you are talented and extraordinary, but you don't know that you are so talented that you are easily disliked by others. You have been tired for yourself and your family all your life, but you are resented by others. Smart Playing tricks for others, but unexpectedly one move can end your life. His heart is not really poisonous, but his methods are ruthless. He is a delicate person. , the action is refreshing..."
Fang Yan smiled, "Wang Xifeng is a real living woman, a real living woman, can you understand?"
"Teacher Fang, I seem to understand a little bit. You just want to live like a real woman, right?”
Deng Jie seemed to have grasped the pulse of "Wang Xifeng", and suddenly felt like her soul had entered her body.
"Yes, you must be like Wang Xifeng, strong and persistent and never admit defeat." Fang Yan said: "Don't be anxious, think about it slowly."
"Thank you, Teacher Fang!"
Deng Jie choked, her eyes were slightly red, and she couldn't help but grab his hand and shake it vigorously.
From the first day I joined the crew to now, I have been questioned all the time. Just when I was about to accept my fate, I met Teacher Fang!
"Work hard, I hope you can perform better when I come again."
Fang Yan smiled and let go of his hand.
Deng Jie promised emphatically, her eyes falling on the ring on his hand, her eyes flickering and looking very complicated.
…………
Three days after the lecture, Fang Yan, Wang Fulin and his party took the green leather train and drove bumpyly to Chengdu.
Before departure, Fang Yan had already said hello to the editorial department of "Science Fiction Literature and Art" in advance. Yang Xiao and Yao Haijun originally planned to greet them at the train station in person to show their sincerity, but CCTV had already taken the lead and contacted the Emei Film Factory early. .
Coming out of the train station, the exit was full of people.
I saw a sign raised high, with "Emei Film Factory" clearly written on it.
"Director Wang!"
"Director Teng, why are you here in person?"
Wang Fulin was quite surprised and immediately introduced Fang Yan and Teng Jinxian to each other.
Teng Jinxian held Fang Yan's hand tightly, "Teacher Fang, I have admired you for a long time, and today I finally met you!"
"Director Teng is so polite."
The two shook hands and exchanged a few words.
“This is the deputy director of our Emei factory, Han Sanping.”
Teng Jinxian was full of enthusiasm and introduced the accompanying people to Fang Yan and the others one by one.
Fang Yan said hello one by one, and suddenly saw a very familiar face at the end of the crowd, Zhu Fu!
A red and blue plaid shirt and a gray skirt. She has a tall figure, long and slender legs, and exudes tenderness in every frown and smile.
The four eyes collided, and Zhu Lu smiled slightly, "Teacher Fang, long time no see..."
