Chapter 131 Fair Competition
I went back to the courtyard for a short rest.
Originally, I wanted to have a meal with Cheng Hao. After all, he called me before, as if he wanted to see him for something and it was not convenient to talk to him.
And at that time, Jia Jingwen was talking about Tianxian, so she couldn't talk much.
So I thought about chatting with the heartthrob after returning to the imperial capital. According to etiquette, if I know that the other person's father's condition has improved, I should come to visit him.
Unexpectedly, when I called him, I found out that Cheng Hao not only returned to the crew of "Dragon Movie", but also went to Yunnan with the crew to film.
“After I helped Big Beard get the investment, it’s not enough for this old boy.”
Originally Big Beard only planned to remake Yanmen Pass and Shaoshi Mountain, but now because of his method, After getting more money and power, this man planned to re-shoot the battle between soldiers and horses that made Qiao Feng the king of the South Campus.
We even spent millions to build the palace gardens and city wall exteriors, which were very grand.
“Fortunately, I escaped early!” Zhang Yuan said thankfully.
Although he was subsidized by profits from the storytelling and box lunch business, his salary was only 30,000 yuan after all. For this small amount of money, he followed the bearded man for half a year, which would make him vomit blood.
The next day, he went to the audition location according to the address given by the crew.
The crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is very low-key, or in other words, very normal.
After all, after Zhang Yuan participated in the bearded audition, everyone thought he was low-key.
The audition venue was set in a hotel conference room, which was not large.
I also rented two rooms for putting on makeup and changing clothes.
Saving money and being convenient.
When we arrived at the designated floor, we met an acquaintance within a few steps.
"Zhang Yuan, are you here to audition too?"
A delicate figure with long flowing hair stood up and waved to him.
"Sister Xu Lu, hello, what a coincidence."
The person who recognized him was Xu Lu, who had played the role in "Love in the Rain". Zhang Yuan and she were in "The Golden Family" He plays Xiao Lian and Liu Chunjiang, a pair of fateful mandarin ducks.
Having lived on the same crew, the two of them had many scenes opposite each other, and they even had a love-to-death emotion during most of the filming time, so they had a good relationship on the crew.
Therefore, Xu Lu was very happy to meet unexpectedly.
"I remember she was not in this film..." Zhang Yuan thought in his mind.
However, there are too many variables at the audition stage and everything is unknown.
"Sister Xu Lu, how have you been lately? I haven't seen you for a long time since last year."
Seeing that Zhang Yuan was still as enthusiastic as when he was on the set, Xu Lu also pursed her lips and smiled.
"I'm doing well. I took a break after filming "Golden Dust" and recently started taking roles. I'm running around for audition notices." Xu Lu looked relaxed and polite at this time, but Zhang Yuan knew that Once this eldest sister enters the performance state, she is astonishingly crazy.
“We haven’t seen you for a while, and now I feel that your temperament is better than before.” Xu Lu squinted her eyes and looked at her. She looked a little more handsome and mature.
"Sister, what is the role you are auditioning for this time?"
"Spider...that's what they told me anyway, what about you."
"There are a few choices, but I think Playing the Seven Nights Demon King."
Zhang Yuan knew that the most outstanding male character in this drama was actually Qi Ye, followed by the Jinguang Sect Leader and Zhuge Liuyun.
On the contrary, the male protagonist Ning Caichen's scenes are weak and not interesting at all.
Moreover, the male and female protagonists of this drama were directly chosen by Yang Dengkui, so no one else had to think about it at all.
Especially Xu Xiyuan, who plays Xiaoqian, was picked up by Yang Dengkui himself.
But Wang Zuxian’s Xiaoqian Zhuyu was in front, which made thousands of viewers feel that this version of Xiaoqian’s appearance is really ordinary, but the boss likes it and is willing to spend money, but she is so willful.
While the two were chatting, a male voice came and interrupted their conversation.
“Senior!”
"You're here too, what a coincidence, you are all my acquaintances today!" Xu Lu stood up with a smile and went to greet her.
The person who came was a young man with an angular face, wearing a baseball cap, held down very low, as if he was afraid of being looked at.
Zhang Yuan glanced, then stood up immediately and stepped forward to say hello.
The visitor is none other than Nie Yuan, a niche student who has become popular in recent years.
Both he and Xu Lu graduated from theater, but Xu Lu was three years older than him, so she called her senior sister.
"Are you afraid of being recognized?" Zhang Yuanxin said.
"This is Zhang Yuan, the brother I met on the previous crew." Xu Lu quickly introduced.
"Brother Nie Yuan, I like your play very much."
"Hello, hello." Nie Yuan shook hands enthusiastically, and they sat down to chat. .
"Ah, you also want to play the Seven Nights Demon Lord?" After saying a few words, Xu Lu asked in surprise, while looking back at Zhang Yuan.
"He is too..."
Nie Yuan, who was quite kind to him just now, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately sank.
His face, which was originally sharp and angular, now looked even more sad and even a little hostile.
The reaction was so big... Zhang Yuan thought to himself, this guy is too shabby.
Nie Yuan seemed to realize that he had lost control of his expression, and quickly put on his smile again.
"That's good, fair competition."
Do you believe this?
Zhang Yuan knows that this guy is an old scumbag, famous for having one girlfriend in one movie.
Unlike Hu Jun, Brother Jun is a man who plays for fun and does not bring down the red flag at home.
This one is different. Not only does he get "completely into the scene" with his opposite actress every time.
Huang Yi from "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan", Shen Aojun from "The Love of the Tang Dynasty", and later Liu Yun, Xie Na, Hu Ke and others, all of them have been in and out of the play.
What's even more amazing is that this man's first and second wives both met in Big Beard's "Journey to the West".
Those who knew knew that he was going to film, but those who didn’t knew thought he was going on a blind date on the set.
And Nie Yuan is not only a scumbag, he is also very good at using his lover as a "ladder", stepping on his girlfriend's shoulders and using other people's resources to climb up.
We have an old relationship.
In "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan", it was he who used Huang Yi's resources to take Sha Yi's corner.
As a result, when it came to "New Three Kingdoms", he defeated Sha Yi's Zhao Yun again.
Speaking of which, he once "topped" his wife Hu Ke, in a physical sense.
Not only that, Nie Yuan, like Gao Rui, has been in trouble before.
It's just that high bluffing is pure bad luck, while this one is deliberately beating someone to serious injury, which is completely different in nature.
This person was once admitted to the art troupe, but after arriving, he thought about it and felt that the art troupe was not suitable for him, so he ran away with a bucket without even saying hello.
Fortunately, I haven't finished reporting to enlist, otherwise... deserters would have to go to court.
This person has an arrogant personality and is definitely not a kind person. Zhang Yuan knows it very well.
"Little brother, which school did you graduate from?" Nie Yuan asked after putting away his smile and rolling his eyes.
“I am not as lucky as Sister Xu Lu and Brother Nie Yuan, and I did not go to college.”
"Oh..." Nie Yuan's expression relaxed a lot.
No professional school background, okay.
"Then how long have you been debuting?" "It's only been a little over a year since you've made your debut."
"Haha...cough." Nie Yuan heard his answer, I almost laughed out loud and quickly suppressed it.
That's it?
Scared me!
With no education or experience, he still competed with me for a role.
The alarm bell in Nie Yuan's heart just sounded, and he manually turned it off again.
You are not qualified to compete with me.
Xu Lu, who was sitting between the two, also felt that Zhang Yuan was at an absolute disadvantage, and felt sorry for the little brother.
"Zhang Yuan is so unfortunate. This junior of mine has never lost when it comes to competing for roles."
After that, Nie Yuan's interest in him also faded a lot. I only chatted with Xu Lu and almost never spoke to him again.
Because Zhang Yuan’s background and experience cannot be his resource, there is no need for further contact.
Don’t think he is ruthless, the entertainment industry is such a reality.
"Mr. Nie Yuan, please come with me." Soon after, a staff member called him away and entered the conference room for an interview.
"Zhang Yuan, don't be offended." Xu Lu also noticed the change in Nie Yuan's attitude.
In fact, she also heard that Nie Yuan had a bad temper in school, often took the lead in fights, and was dating several girls at the same time.
My junior fellow student’s personal charm and professional ability are indeed very strong, but in terms of life, he is far inferior to the younger brother in front of me.
“It’s okay, our business isn’t all like this.” Zhang Yuan replied with a smile.
"You have such a good temper." Seeing that he didn't take him seriously, Xu Lu happily showed her fangs: "By the way, what did you do after you left the crew of "Golden Fen Family"?"
Zhang Yuan flexed his fingers and started counting.
“I opened a company that provides lunch boxes to the crew.”
“What?” Xu Lu looked confused.
“Opened a crosstalk performing arts company.”
"What?" Xu Lu became increasingly confused.
“I acted in “The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword”.”
“What!” Jia Jingwen, Gao Yuanyuan’s part?”
“Yes, I play Song Qingshu”
"That's awesome!" Xu Lu had read the novel and knew that Song Qingshu was a third male character.
As a "veteran actor" who has been in the industry for many years, it is difficult for her to get such a big drama role.
"And..."
"And!" Xu Lu felt that her head was about to burn.
"Well, there is also the bearded "Dragon", and I played Murong Fu."
"That's an important role too!" Xu Lu thought to herself. Although Murong Fu is the fourth male lead and the fifth male lead, this is because there are too many male protagonists in "Tian Long Ba Bu".
In fact, the villain Murong Fu is already a good third or even second male character in other dramas.
"No more...?" Xu Lu swallowed her saliva and asked tentatively.
"No more."
It is not appropriate to leak the copyright of "Sword of Immortal" now, so he did not mention it.
Huh... Xu Lu breathed a long sigh of relief and took several minutes to digest the information given by Zhang Yuan.
"You are trying too hard." After a long time, she spoke again.
Two dramas, two companies, even though Xu Lu has seen many fierce people in the industry, this is the first time she has seen such a fierce one.
You know, she came from a major and had played the popular Xiao Hua in Qiong Yao drama, but she was unable to take on two dramas in half a year.
Opportunities in the entertainment industry cannot be obtained by hard work. It depends on fate and relationships.
"I have no education or background, so I can only do some hard work."
Hearing what he said, Xu Lu felt soft.
She knows that this business is not easy.
Tenderly and with some pity, she used her fingers to straighten his bangs, as if she was taking care of her biological brother.
"You, pay attention to your rest and body, don't get exhausted."
"Don't worry, sister, I'm strong."
"By the way, who is more beautiful, Jia Jingwen or Gao Yuanyuan." Xu Lu suddenly drifted around the corner and changed the topic.
Sure enough, women are all gossips...
With or without clothes... Zhang Yuan thought, I only have an in-depth understanding of one of them. This question is still open. It’s really hard to answer.
The two chatted happily. After an unknown amount of time, Nie Yuan walked out of the conference room with a happy face, followed by the previous staff.
"Mr. Zhang Yuan, please follow me."
Zhang Yuan responded and stepped forward to prepare for the audition.
Now Nie Yuan sat down again and started chatting with Xu Lu.
"You two have a good relationship."
"Zhang Yuan is very good at taking care of others and treats everyone well." Xu Lu replied with a smile.
"In our industry, good people are the most useless." Nie Yuan said disdainfully.
Xu Lu looked as usual, but in her mind she thought about Zhang Yuan swollen the face of the actress for Shu Chang.
She knew that Zhang Yuan’s “good guy” had to be in quotation marks.
To his friends, he is indeed a good person.
To the enemy, haha... I'm afraid you don't know how powerful he is.
"Hello, hello..." After chatting for a while, Nie Yuan picked up the phone.
"Senior, I have to leave first." He stood up and said, "Help me apologize to your friend. I won the role this time."
"You...he..." Before Xu Lu could say anything else, Nie Yuan left confidently and gracefully.
He shook his head helplessly.
If it had been before, she would have agreed with Nie Yuan.
But after knowing Zhang Yuan's recent experience, she thought about it and then chuckled.
"Haha, Nie Yuan was really right."
"In terms of strength, they are indeed competing fairly."
Xu Lu held the hand with one hand He looked at the direction Nie Yuan was leaving, and then looked at the direction of the conference room where Zhang Yuan was.
"Even..." Xu Lu smiled and cheered for Zhang Yuan in her heart.
"I think Zhang Yuan has a better chance of winning."
In the conference room...
