Chapter 40 Jade Face Mengchang
Zhang Yuan closed the door of the conference room and went downstairs to find a coffee shop to rest and wait.
He must go.
First of all, he is too young and is not a formal member of Uni-Asia Company or the crew. Major matters are discussed by others and he learns his own interests.
Secondly, don’t give Director Yang room to show off!
Show your ability by sticking in it.
[Received thanks from Yang Tao, director foundation +8, lens skills +5, storyboard design +3, plot understanding +4! 】
Look, the attributes are here.
Zhang Yuan is well versed in human nature, and Yang Tao is not a heartless person, otherwise he would not be able to achieve the position of deputy head of the railway art troupe.
For such people, the less you mention helping, the more they will take it to heart.
With nothing to do, Zhang Yuan could only open Snake and enjoy his childhood memories as mobile phones these days are not like those of later generations where he could watch videos or play mobile games.
Not long after playing, his game time was interrupted by a cell phone ringtone.
The caller was none other than Boss Zhao Decai, whom he had not contacted for a few days.
"Mr. Zhao, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
No need to ask further, Zhang Yuan knew from the other party's cheerful tone that something good must have happened.
"Mr. Zhao, let me do some calculations and find out that you have been very lucky recently!" Zhang Yuan quickly added.
“Can you tell fortunes?” Zhao Decai replied doubtfully.
"I really have a good thing." After a pause, he continued: "I found a local TV station to broadcast the film "Conquest" again. Although the effect this time was average, it was much better than last time. "
The last time it premiered, Zhao Decai found Jinmen TV Station, and the final average ratings didn't even reach 1%, which was a complete failure.
This made him very frustrated and even doubted Zhang Yuan.
But this time, after regrouping and finding a local station of the same level, it got a ratings of 1.9% after broadcasting 6 episodes. Although it is not a big hit, it has reached the average level.
This made Zhao Decai, who had already trusted Zhang Yuan more and more because of the World Cup, even more certain that Zhang Yuan was his noble man.
After listening to Zhao Decai’s words, Zhang Yuan congratulated him repeatedly, but he also understood why his grades improved.
Because this time, "Conquer" is on International TV Station.
The prototypes of the story "Conquest", including the gangsters, are the local gangsters of the International Village!
Home field advantage is a huge bargain!
Zhang Yuan clearly remembers that in later generations, Hebei Satellite TV rebroadcast "Conquest" countless times. The audience enjoyed it and the ratings remained high, and International Village was the capital of HEB Province.
Zhao Decai got it right this time.
Zhang Yuan did not point out this reason, but followed Zhao Decai's words and attributed it all to the high quality of the work itself.
His grades have improved, and Fatty Zhao has hope, and hope is as precious as a diamond to him now.
"By the way, I have a friend who is engaged in real estate development recently opened a new project in Imperial Capital. If you are interested in buying a house, I can ask him to help you get a discount."
Zhao Decai is in a good mood. , looking for an opportunity to return the favor to him.
"Mr. Zhao, you overestimate me. How can I have so much money?" When it comes to real estate, Zhang Yuan has an extra thought: "Mr. Zhao, speaking of this, are you also interested in real estate? "
"How did you know?" Fatty Zhao now really doubts that Zhang Yuan can tell fortunes.
Of course he knew, after all, Fatty Zhao would be a big contractor in later generations.
After Zhang Yuan thought for a while, he decided to take the other party to the real estate company.
"Mr. Zhao, real estate is a big market. According to the laws of economic development and the country's current development policy, the future is immeasurable."
"Heroes see the same thing!" Fatty Zhao was extremely excited. , Zhang Yuan's thoughts can prick his itch every time.
Why did Zhang Yuan want Fatty Zhao to work in real estate? On the one hand, he did have potential as a contractor. On the other hand, from a long-term perspective, Zhang Yuan needed Zhao Decai's financial support.
Real estate can earn a lot of money, and it will also involve most of Lao Zhao's energy. In this way, he has no time to think about things in the entertainment industry.
Zhang Yuan wants him to be a hands-off shopkeeper and "bank", and the person in charge must be himself.
After chatting for a few more words, he hung up the phone. Zhang Yuan had already planted a seed in the other person's heart, and now he just needed to calm down and wait for it to take root and sprout.
After waiting for a long time, Zhang Yuan received a call from Yang Tao.
His tone was even more joyful than Fatty Zhao's, and told Zhang Yuan that the meeting had ended, there would be an audition in the afternoon, and gave him the address.
He helped Yang Tao once, and this time it was Director Yang's turn to repay him.
I arrived at the audition location on time, and there was already a huge queue in the corridor.
"Brother, are you here for the audition too?" A dark, muscular, medium-sized young man greeted Zhang Yuan warmly when he saw him arriving.
"Yes, hello." Zhang Yuan raised his hand and said hello.
"Then come and sit here." The man picked up his backpack and left a small space for Zhang Yuan on the bench in the crowded rest area, barely enough for one person to squeeze in.
"No, thank you for your kindness."
"Why are you so polite? Come on." This person thought Zhang Yuan was timid and embarrassed.
Zhang Yuan's expression was a little unnatural because he recognized the other party.
This man's name is Ma Dongyan. He graduated from the military arts school where Sha Yi and Shen Teng went.
Last year, this actor starred in "Young Zhang Sanfeng" starring Zhang Weijian and Li Bingbing, in which he played Zhang Sanfeng's apprentice and the second of the Wudang Seven Heroes, Yu Lianzhou.
And Zhang Yuan knew that he would also succeed in the interview with the crew of "Heaven and Dragon Sword", and he would also play one of the Seven Heroes of Wudang, but he would be replaced by the youngest Mo Shenggu.
Why is Zhang Yuan so thoughtful and looking weird? Because the character he was eyeing was one of the villains in the play, "Jade-Faced Mengchang" Song Qingshu!
Ma Dongyan: Nice to meet you.
Zhang Yuan: Then it’s too early for you to be happy...I will have to kill you in a while.
In the play, Mo Shenggu died at the hands of Song Qingshu.
Ma Dongyan was a cheerful person. He stood up and pulled Zhang Yuan to help him sit down. At this moment, Yang Tao walked out of the office and saw Zhang Yuan.
"Zhang Yuan, you are here." Yang Tao smiled warmly, as if he was looking at a relative's junior: "Come with me to the dressing room, the costumes are ready for you."< br>
"Okay." Zhang Yuan responded, and then he patted Ma Dongyan on the shoulder: "See you on the set later."
Ma Dongyan looked at Zhang Yuan who was walking side by side with Yang Tao. , it took a while to calm down.
"This, isn't this Director Yang..."
"Hey!"
"No wonder I don't sit down. It's not that I'm embarrassed or that I don't like me, it's just that there's no need to sit down. !" Ma Dongyan slapped his hands, he was blind and blind.
The director can receive him in person, and a dressing room and costumes are prepared in advance, and the actors are properly appointed.
There is no use in crowding in the corridor with "job seekers" like myself.
Ma Dongyan's eyes were full of envy, but he laughed again after a while.
“This guy is pretty good at talking. He told me to meet the crew.”
“This is to wish me a successful audition.”
[Received from Ma Thanks to Dongyan, physical fitness +2! 】
Zhang Yuan, who had finished putting on makeup and changed into clothes, saw this system prompt and thought that this person is good.
And this complexion must have been exercised a lot, otherwise how could Wu Jing be interested in participating in "Wolf Warrior" in the future.
In the large conference room for the audition, Yang Tao was already seated, flanked by Lai Shuiqing and other assistant directors, as well as a martial arts director.
"The next one, Zhang Yuan, is auditioning for the role of Song Qingshu."
A female employee played a role similar to announcing the curtain and stepped aside after speaking.
Although they were both part of a large cast, Zhang Yuan did not have to participate in such a tedious audition process after Li Dawei made the decision.
But here, due to the mutual constraints between the two directors, there was inevitably overt and covert fighting over the casting. The main role had to be approved by both of them.
As soon as Lai Shuiqing heard the word "Zhang Yuan", his brows immediately wrinkled into a knot.
It's this kid again...
Director Lai's heart immediately trembled when he thought of the speechless face that slapped him.
“But when this guy picked a role, he did the same thing as before when we talked about the script, highlighting one word.”
The major roles have already been confirmed, and among the remaining characters in the play that match Zhang Yuan's age, Song Qingshu has the most roles.
The door opened, Zhang Yuan slowly swayed, with one hand behind his back and the other lightly clenching his fist in front of his abdomen, he walked towards the "Jury" with a smile.
At this time, he was wearing a white cotton shirt, a cyan satin Wudang Taoist robe, and gray cloth shoes with a thousand-layer sole.
Before he spoke, these two steps alone amazed everyone on the stage.
Song Qingshu's nickname is "Jade Face Mengchang".
Yumian said he was handsome.
Meng Chang is describing him as a gentleman and elegant in temperament.
According to the ending of the character, Mr. Jin is always sarcastic.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan perfectly interpreted the meaning of these four words. He was an elegant, comely, handsome young knight!
Liu Chunjiang, who plays the role of the eldest young master in "The Golden Family", is already familiar with Zhang Yuan's young, promising and gentle temperament after playing the role for several months.
Arriving in front of the judges, Zhang Yuan cupped his fists and bowed his hands.
Hmm... everyone except Lai Shuiqing nodded slightly.
Zhang Yuan is already a character without having to act.
Director Lai looked at Zhang Yuan's clasped hands, and then nodded in approval like the others.
Most people are right-handed, and they are accustomed to placing their right hand on top of their left hand when clasping fists. However, this form of clasping fists is actually called "fierce worship".
Because the "Tao Te Ching" says: When a gentleman lives on the left, he values the left; when using troops, he values the right.
This action is not only disrespectful to the opponent, but if it is performed like this in a martial arts contest, it would mean "a fight between life and death", which means risking one's life.
The left hand on top is "Jibai", which means peace, friendship, communication, respect and congratulations.
Zhang Yuan’s fist-holding ceremony was done correctly and was extremely standard, which is very rare among young people.
This is also the reason why Lai Shuiqing nodded. From this action alone, he understood that this young man knew more than he thought.
Director Lai came to his senses and raised his hand to make a gesture.
"Okay, please start your performance..."
