Chapter 115 If you dare to play Xu Lingjun, you will have to kneel on the washboard when you go back
After simple preparations for dressing up, Cheng Xuemin, Zhu Lin and Lao Teng entered the scene one after another and began to audition!
The camera is of Lao Teng, the actor who plays Guo Zi, coming in directly from outside the house and asking Cheng Xuemin whether Xu Lingjun wants his wife...
Simple lines, simple scenes, simple character decorations, the plot begins to unfold simply!
After the initial immaturity, what Xie Jin didn't expect was that Cheng Xuemin, Xu Lingjun's performance was good, and the young lesbian named Zhu Lin, who played Li Xiuzhi, was getting better and better.
As soon as these two rival scenes cooperated, Xie Jin saw it directly. What he wanted was Xu Lingjun and Li Xiuzhi!
After the scene on the set, Cheng Xuemin really felt a little unfinished, and Zhu Lin opposite was staring at Cheng Xuemin with affection and shyness, obviously he hadn't come out of the scene yet.
"Okay, not bad!"
"Xuemin, you said you didn't write Xu Lingjun according to your own writing. I think you are Xu Lingjun!"
Xie Jin couldn't help but clapped his hands and said to Cheng Xuemin: "Xuemin, what do you think? Come and play Xu Lingjun for me!"
Xie Jin really didn't expect that Xu Lingjun played by Cheng Xuemin would be better than Xu Lingjun played by Zhu Shimao in the audition two days ago!
Anyway, Cheng Xuemin’s audition just now made Xie Jin feel that Cheng Xuemin was Xu Lingjun. He was writing and acting himself, and he was acting in his true colors.
That’s not said!
The role of Xu Lingjun must be played by Cheng Xuemin, no one else can do it! He, Xie Jin, has the final say as to who will be the director of the crew.
"Director Xie, don't praise me like that! I was really nervous just now!"
Although Cheng Xuemin's charm was still lingering, I really thought about him playing the role of Xu Lingjun, but I quickly shook my head no because I didn't have the time.
Because Cheng Xuemin knew that once Xie Jin decided on the actors, the crew would be formally formed, and they would rush non-stop to the Chilechuan Ranch in the northwest for on-site shooting.
But how could Cheng Xuemin have the time to go to the Northwest, which is farther and more west than northern Shaanxi, to film?
His first priority now is to write good articles, save a small treasury, and prepare well for next year's college entrance examination. If he really goes to the northwest to film, he will definitely not be able to come back in half a year!
That’s not necessary!
Furthermore, Cheng Xuemin also felt that Zhu Shimao's Xu Lingjun was also a classic, so there was no need to steal other people's original roles.
Cheng Xuemin had no intention of debuting as an actor. He wanted to take the entrance examination to Yanda University, and use the golden signboard of a diploma from Yanda University to enter an official career!
and!
Even if Cheng Xuemin really wanted to play Xu Lingjun, his mother-in-law would have to agree.
I definitely won’t agree!
The most important thing is that being an actor now is just a profession, and there is really no concept of salary.
How do you calculate it if Cheng Xuemin, who is not part of Yan Film Studio's staff, is allowed to act?
Just do prostitution for free?
"Very good, very good. This is the first time I can act to this extent. Lao Xie is right. Xuemin, you are Xu Lingjun!"
Lao Teng also followed suit and said, if the author of "Wrangler" is not only the screenwriter, but also Xu Lingjun himself, this movie will definitely be a hit if it is filmed and released.
As the producer of "Wrangler", I must hope that the movie will be popular and filmed!
They had this plan before Lao Xie suggested that Cheng Xuemin, the author and screenwriter, try out the show.
As long as the acting is not too bad, Lao Xie said that he can be adjusted slowly, but who knew that Cheng Xuemin could act so well.
It was really beyond Lao Teng’s expectation.
"Come on, Xuemin, just do me Lao Xie a favor, how about that?"
Xie Jin's eyes were filled with eagerness to ask for Cheng Xuemin's opinion, and he must be eager for Cheng Xuemin to nod!
"Xuemin, as far as I know, you haven't been assigned a job yet, right?" Lao Teng further advised, "In this way, as long as you come to help with the acting, our Yan Film Studio will immediately help you arrange and implement the work and household registration issues. ,OK?"
"Um... Director Xie, why don't you ask my mother-in-law first!? She wants me to take the college entrance examination first, and then graduate and start working in a step-by-step manner!"
Cheng Xuemin couldn't refuse directly in person, but carried his mother-in-law out. It's hard to refuse your kindness, so why don't you convince his mother-in-law in advance?
Anyway, Cheng Xuemin didn't think that his mother-in-law would let her son-in-law become an actor, although there is no distinction between high and low in the profession.
"Okay, that's okay! Let's make an agreement now, Xuemin. As long as your mother-in-law agrees, you will play the role of Xu Lingjun, and we will help you implement the work registration process!"
Lao Teng nodded again and again, as long as Cheng Xuemin said this. Lao Teng really didn't believe that their Yanying Factory had officially established a household registration, and that they could not win over his mother-in-law!
You want to know how many educated youths who have returned to the city are outside the gate and want to squeeze into their Yanying Factory?
“Thank you later for convincing Xuemin that he is his mother-in-law!”
Finally, the conversation changed and the question was asked to director Xie Jin!
“Ha! Lao Teng, I thought you didn’t know who Xuemin’s mother-in-law is, which makes you so confident!”
Xie Jin rolled his eyes at Lao Teng. When he heard that Cheng Xuemin moved out his mother-in-law, he realized that this was impossible!
Teacher Gu will definitely not let her son-in-law join the crew and delay her son-in-law's future!
Hearing Lao Teng hit it off so confidently, Lao Xie really thought he was so confident that he just dumped the last line of co-writing to him!
What the hell!
Didn't you realize that this boy just refused to show his mother-in-law a favor?
If you are old enough, you should go directly to his mother-in-law’s house and talk about it!
"Hey, Lao Xie, you are the director, you make the final decision on the casting, I am just assisting, assisting!"
At the end of the sentence, Lao Teng felt so embarrassed!
I was so happy and anxious just now that I really forgot who Cheng Xuemin's mother-in-law was. After reacting, he suddenly had an idea and turned the conversation to Xie Jin. Unfortunately, Xie Jin did not dare to answer, and directly exposed his embarrassment.
"Xuemin, how about you think about it carefully and discuss it with Teacher Gu later?"
"We won't arrange to implement your work plan. I guess I'll just ask for a month's leave to help with the filming?"
"I'm sure it won't delay your college entrance examination next year, okay?"
Xie Jin still didn't want to let it go and asked Cheng Xuemin to think about it again!
"Director Xie, let me go back and discuss it later?!"
Rejecting it directly now seems too incompetent, and Lao Teng has not yet received the script fee of 2,000 yuan!
"Okay, then go back and discuss it with Teacher Gu and your lover. It will only take a month. It will definitely not delay your college entrance examination next year!"
Originally Xie Jin wanted to say three to five months, but he was afraid of directly frightening Cheng Xuemin, so he refused on the spot!
However, Xie Jin made some calculations and made preparations in the early stage before letting Cheng Xuemin join the crew. One month would definitely be enough for the actual filming!
Other subsequent production and editing work is the work of the director and the editing team, and has nothing to do with the actors!
And when the time comes, we can completely squeeze Cheng Xuemin's time to arrange it. It may not take a month. After all, Cheng Xuemin played the role of Xu Lingjun very well.
If I hadn't been a little immature at the beginning when I tried out this scene just now, I would have replayed it all over again!
"Okay, I will seriously consider it!"
Cheng Xuemin also nodded. If Xie Jin could compress his role within a month, it would not be impossible to agree.
"Teachers, can I stay here?"
Zhu Lin, who had just finished his acting career, still had a shy face. After hearing everyone say that Cheng Xuemin's Xu Lingjun was a good actor, they wanted to recruit him directly to Yan Film Studio to arrange for the establishment of the household registration. Zhu Lin's beautiful eyes were so surprised that he was so happy. Again and again.
You know, Yanying Factory’s recruitment this time is not organized, and apprentices are paid apprentice wages!
In this era, there was no concept of contract workers or temporary workers. In addition to the established employees in the unit, they were apprentices.
In this era, it is almost universal for a master to bring a new apprentice. The relationship is that one is a teacher and a lifelong father, that is, the relationship between father, son and mother.
But Cheng Xuemin was fine, he just went through the motions, and Yan Film Studio rushed to get it, arranging the establishment and implementation of the household registration, but Cheng Xuemin himself was reluctant!
Besides, it seems like this is her interview, right? Why was the interviewer just ignored by the examiner?
"Ah, oh! Zhu Lin, you're not bad either. I've passed Lao Teng here!"
Xie Jin then realized that their interviewer was the lesbian in front of him. He nodded quickly and mentioned it to Lao Teng again!
"Lao Xie, you are the director and the examiner, you have the final say here!" Lao Teng nodded equally and said, "Zhu Lin, you have a good acting talent, just report to the factory tomorrow!"
Zhu Lin was the first candidate from Laoteng to make a decision on the spot to recruit, but all the other re-examination candidates were called back to wait for notification!
Zhu Lin was so surprised that she jumped up and down and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, thank you, Teacher Teng, thank you, the guide, thank you, Xuemin...teacher!"
In the end, he thanked Cheng Xuemin in a clever and ghostly way and directly promoted him to teacher!
This woman... no matter how hard she licks her lips, it's useless. Cheng Xuemin already has Feng Jiayou, and it won't be easy for anyone to provoke her.
Zhu Lin left first, but Cheng Xuemin and the others' re-examination was not over yet. They had lunch at Yanying Factory and continued to be busy until about three o'clock in the afternoon before completing the first round of applications.
Next is the Yan Film Factory, where the final screening is done to determine the candidates. This is not under the control of Cheng Xuemin!
Cheng Xuemin also got his wish and received a script fee bill of 2,000 yuan from Yan Film Studio.
"Brother, Lao Xie and the others mean that Li Xiuzhi's role should be played by Zhu Lin?"
"Would Sister Siqin have any objections to this?"
Later, we also discussed the selection of actors for "Wrangler" and asked Cheng Xuemin for his opinions.
In addition to Xu Lingjun, the leading male protagonist, Zhu Shimao was initially given a try, as was Siqin Gaowa, who tried out the role of Li Xiuzhi.
But after this audition, all the originally chosen male and female protagonists were changed!
Xu Lingjun’s side is nothing, after all, Cheng Xuemin didn’t think much about actually going to act.
But the role of Li Xiuzhi actually meant to be replaced by Zhu Linshang. This not only made Cheng Xuemin ask more questions about his uncle who came home from get off work with him.
"What's the point of this? Originally, Lao Xie wasn't really sure about it, so he just asked Siqin to try out a scene. At that time, Lao Xie and Lao Teng both shook their heads and were not very satisfied!"
"I feel that Siqin's image is still a bit different from the Li Xiuzhi they want!"
When it comes to this casting issue, Feng Jiazhao knows something about it. After all, this is his brother-in-law's script and it is also his first movie. As an elder brother-in-law, he must follow closely.
So when they learned that Siqin Gaowa was auditioning for the role, Lao Xie and Lao Teng both felt that it was a bit off.
When Zhu Lin tried out the scene like this today, even Feng Jiazhao realized that something was wrong!
“Aura?”
Cheng Xuemin asked next!
“That’s right, Xuemin, you are just like Lao Xie, Lao Teng and others said, you lack Li Xiuzhi’s aura!”
"That girl Zhu Lin did a very good job today. The aura she brought into the scene made me think she was Li Xiuzhi, and Xuemin you are Xu Lingjun!"
"So, it's not surprising that Lao Xie and the others will play Zhu Lin, and Siqin won't have any objections. She didn't plan to play Li Xiuzhi in the first place, and today she was cast in temporarily!"
That's what happened. Cheng Xuemin nodded after hearing this.
Cheng Xuemin quickly followed up and emphasized to his uncle: "Brother, after you go back, you must not tell your parents and mother that I am Xu Lingjun and Zhu Lin is Li Xiuzhi!"
"Otherwise, the washboard that I didn't kneel on last night will definitely be knelt on tonight!"
…
It’s the beginning of the month, so I’m shamelessly asking for a monthly recommendation and support, thank you!
