Chapter 272: Trial for the role
In the original work of 1988, the love relationship between the trio is also a highlight, so this role cannot be chosen randomly.
After Chen Linfeng considered it, he called Huang Xiaoming.
"Master Huang, you are doing well these days.
I have a role here, do you want to try it?"
Huang Xiaoming was playing with his friends. When he saw it was Xiao Chen's call, he immediately told others to keep quiet.
"Hey, the nickname given by the fans, Xiao Chen, you are calling me a joke."
Hearing that there is a new character, his eyes lit up,
< br>"You finally called me once. Of course you have to. Any role will do. Wherever you are now, I will come over immediately."
I can't wait any longer.
Chen Linfeng thought for a while and decided that it would be okay to chat now, so Yan Yan said that he was at home and could just come over.
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
After Huang Xiaoming hung up the phone, he saw a group of people staring at him. Their eyes were a little green and scary.
In this scene, Zhao Yanzi, Chen Kun, Zhou Xun and others were all present. As the filming of "Painted Skin" was about to begin, they gathered together to chat about the new movie. At the same time, they were also friends themselves, so calling them out was a way of communicating their feelings.
At this time, Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun had not fallen out because of the competition for the celebrity position. Naturally, Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming had not drifted apart because of the two actresses.
"Xiao Ming, is this the phone number of Director Xiao Chen?"
"Yes, yes, is he looking for you to play a role?"
Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun were not very familiar with each other. If it is relevant, you can ask without hesitation.
Chen Kun's mood is a bit complicated. If he can be suitable for Huang Xiaoming's role, he will generally be suitable for him.
This is Xiao Chen's drama. Think about how popular Hu Ge is now because he stepped in and played a supporting role. He is almost as popular as his predecessors, Xiaosheng.
"My Star" is simply a promotion machine, and all the actors who have played important roles in it have made great progress in their careers.
Considering that the quality of Xiao Chen's dramas since "Empire of the Tang Dynasty" is terrible, and this new drama is Xiao Chen's first drama after the Golden Lion Award, it is understandable that everyone is paying attention to it.
Especially there are rumors in the industry that after Xiao Chen finishes this drama, he may go straight to the big screen in the future.
Xiao Chen’s final work for the small screen is imaginable, and it is definitely the best among the best.
Even for an actor of his stature, this is a rare opportunity.
Chen Kun couldn't hide his sourness when he said this, "That's great. Director Xiao Chen called me directly. It's so enviable."
The smile on Huang Xiaoming's face couldn't be suppressed at all.
"It's Xiao Chen's call, saying that he wants to try out a role with me."
Thinking of this, he forcibly calmed down, "I don't know what the role is yet, maybe it will be a happy one. .
Everyone, I have to excuse you.”
After saying that, he handed over his hand and said goodbye first.
“Hey, don’t leave yet,” Zhao Yanzi grabbed the other person.
“Don’t forget to ask us when you get there. If there are any suitable roles, we can all take them at a reduced salary.”
“Yeah, that’s what I mean too.” Zhou Xun He nodded repeatedly.
Chen Kun also looked at him expectantly, "Brother, I won't pick. You pick the rest and introduce one to me."
Everyone knows that establishing contact first is the most critical.
The news that Xiao Chen is going to start a new drama is not a secret in the industry. After all, it needs to be registered with the authorities.
Moreover, some veteran actors have already been invited.
Everyone now knows a little bit about Xiao Chen's habit of selecting actors. He usually looks for people he has worked with before, or has met with before.
No one dared to interrupt, but they were eager to participate.
Huang Xiaoming couldn't laugh or cry, "I still have to fight for it first. If there is a suitable time, I will speak up. If it doesn't work, don't blame me."
"No, no, as long as Xiao Ming works hard." . ”
“Okay, let’s do this for now, see you later.”
After Huang Xiaoming left, several people started talking.
Zhou Xun said with envy, "Xiao Ming got it this time. Xiao Chen called and invited me personally. He is definitely not a small role."
"Yes, in the past, for small roles, his agent, Sister Mei, came to contact him."
Now, unlike in the past, Zhao Yanzi could still think of resource replacement to make friends with Xiao Chen.
Nowadays, she has to pay attention to the movements of one of her managers. Xiao Chen is actually the director and producer all in one. He also produces good dramas frequently. The power of praise is so strong that others can't help but pay attention.
Sister Mei is now rising with the tide. Few people in the industry call her "Xiaomei" like Chen Shantong, but she has become everyone's "Sister Mei".
After all, Xiao Chen is called Sister Mei.
Chen Kun thought of the scene at the Bazaar dinner where Huang Xiaoming took the initiative to help Xiao Chen out of trouble, and thought that maybe it was because of this that Xiao Chen remembered it.
No wonder Huang Xiaoming has developed well, his classmate is really good at mixing things up.
What did Zhao Yanzi think of at this time, "Speaking of Xiao Chen's drama this time, will his brother appear? In the past, it seemed that Xiao Long didn't participate much in Xiao Chen's dramas, and he only played some supporting roles. "
Chen Kun said, "I don't know, who can say for sure. Xiaolong's development was not bad before. I heard that Xiaochen will help with the drama, and it will be smooth for him. "
Zhou Xun is a little envious. She works hard on her own, and it’s hard to imagine what it’s like to have family members supporting her.
"When you join the group after a while, you can ask. Even if you don't act, you will definitely know something.
In the end, we only know that Xiao Chen likes to use old people, and we don't know if there are any other rules. "
"That's right." The other two nodded.
On the other side, Huang Xiaoming rushed to Chen Linfeng’s new home.
After Bazaar, Xiao Chen originally said that he would invite a few of them to get together and chat, but later they had a barbecue at his new home.
So he is not unfamiliar with this place.
After entering the door, Huang Xiaoming first thanked the nanny who opened the door, and then asked, "Excuse me, which room is Director Xiao Chen in? I'll go find him."
"Where's the study? Just go directly, sir, he told you that you are coming."
Within two steps, he noticed a cat tilting its head and looking at him, and sniffed twice, as if to recognize him. This rare two-legged beast.
Huang Xiaoming knew this beautiful calico cat. He had seen it before when he came here for a party.
It seems to be called Xiaoyun Meow?
He squatted down and tried to say hello and touch twice.
However, Xiaoyunmiao took two steps back as if facing a formidable enemy, and then started meowing toward the inside.
"Is someone here?" Chen Linfeng walked out of the study.
He saw Huang Xiaoming squatting, looking a little embarrassed, and couldn't help laughing,
"Before, because I was too busy, I kept Xiaoyunmao in my hometown. This cat went wild in my hometown and I don't know where it went. I learned it from a dog, and now it starts barking when it sees strangers. "Then this cat has quite a personality." Huang Xiaoming smiled sarcastically.
"Brother Xiao Ming came very quickly, come in, let's chat inside."
"As soon as I got the call, I rushed here, because I was afraid that I would be out of luck if I was late."
"It's not that exaggerated."
Chen Linfeng led people to the study room to get the script, and then went to the practice room.
"The script analysis has been done. Please take a look at this personal script first."
Huang Xiaoming took the script with both hands and read it calmly.
Before he looked at it for too long, Chen Linfeng asked, "Do you have a rough idea of the character?"
Huang Xiaoming nodded, "It's basically clear."
"Tell me."
"This Wang Yuan is an introverted chess player. Looking at some of the previous content, he should be soft on the outside and soft on the inside. He has a strong and considerate temperament."
At this point, he asked tentatively, "Director Xiao Chen, is the character you designed based on the chess master Nie Weiping?"
Chen Linfeng nodded, "It's one of the prototypes."
Huang Xiaoming had some confidence in his heart and continued,
"If I were to play this role, on the one hand, I would have to highlight the simple personality of the past era, and on the other hand, I would have to perform a quiet and gentle performance, and at the same time show that I am in harmony with women. Good interaction with the main character.
..."
Chen Linfeng secretly said that Huang Xiaoming's character understanding ability is quite strong, and what he said is basically on point.
No wonder I was able to keep up with some drama stars in my previous life.
"You are right. The heroine has been confirmed to be Shu Chang. She is almost 10 years younger than you. Can she show interactivity?"
Huang Xiaoming thought about it carefully and nodded seriously, "Wearing makeup is okay. After solving part of it, I will also work hard on the action design.”
As he said that, he also made some adjustments and tried a few movements that showed the spirit of some people in the last century.
Somewhat like that.
Huang Xiaoming does have an advantage in this regard. After all, he actually experienced the 1990s. He was a teenager at that time, which was the most memorable time.
Chen Linfeng recognized his performance.
"Okay, go back and prepare. I want to see the effect. Take the script back and read it slowly, don't leak it."
"Okay, I know." Huang Xiaoming looked happy. , which means that if there are no accidents, it will basically be settled.
At his level, even a great director would not mess with people.
Chen Linfeng nodded intentionally, "Brother Xiao Ming, your acting in some previous roles was a bit too greasy, so you have to pay attention.
This character cannot have the feeling that he thinks he is handsome, and any traces of his previous role as Wei Xiaobao must be completely erased. "
Huang Xiaoming was a little embarrassed. This was the first time someone pointed this out to his face.
But he also knew that Xiao Chen was someone who had something to say. After thinking about it carefully, he nodded and said, "I know. Yes, I will pay attention when preparing later. "
After his role was basically determined, he did not forget to ask if other people had a chance.
Chen Linfeng objected, "The female roles are basically full, and the male roles are left. The girl can't be too handsome, Chen Kun is really not suitable. ”
Huang Xiaoming felt a little regretful, but at the same time secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, he got the role in advance, otherwise even if he heard the news and took the initiative to ask, he might not have a chance.
Huang Xiaoming didn’t stay long and went back with the script.
When I went out, I didn’t even go out. I met Liu Qianqian in the yard. She had obviously just parked the car and was about to walk to the villa.
He was a little surprised, but also felt that it was natural.
Huang Xiaoming is one of the few people who knows the relationship between Xiao Chen and Liu Qianqian. Since the two are lovers, it is normal for them to meet in private.
He nodded in greeting and didn't mean to say more.
It's better to keep a distance from the boss's girlfriend.
After Huang Xiaoming returned, he directly closed his circle of friends, did not answer the phone, and prepared for the role with all his strength.
You can tell from the script in hand that even if this character is not the protagonist, he is almost there.
It can be said that this will be another drama that is crucial to him after "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and he must prepare carefully.
