Chapter 15: There’s also a Golden Horse Award-winning actress
On the afternoon of October 3rd.
In an Internet cafe in Beitan Beach, Xu Kun just controlled Li Xiaoyao to the outside of Suzhou when he received a call from Wang Peng.
He picked up the answer and without waiting for Wang Peng to speak, said first: "Uncle Wang, I'm going to take a few days off. I almost vomited when I played the devil. Mainly, this thing can't improve my acting skills. I stutter every day and it makes me speak Chinese." I almost couldn’t stop talking. I went to the square to watch the military parade the day before yesterday. I was afraid that I would accidentally spit something out and be beaten to death by the crowd in the street. "
"No way, we in China treat prisoners preferentially. The most they can do is kowtow to the Heroes Monument and confess your guilt." Wang Peng's unhurried voice came over the phone: "This time you are not playing a devil, but a martial arts warrior in ancient costume - but since you want to take a break, God, then I will find someone else..."
"No, no, no!"
Xu Kun left fifty yuan as a deposit and asked the network administrator to keep the file for him. He hurriedly went out to find a quiet place and asked: "What should I play this time, a bandit and robber, or a court eagle dog?"
"You are quite self-aware, kid."
Wang Peng laughed loudly and quickly explained: "But this time there is good and evil. You and Baoqiang have to play multiple roles."
"What a good thing!"
Xu Kun smacked his thigh excitedly. At first, he was quite proud of being able to play the role of a Japanese major, but he gradually felt uncomfortable playing the role of major. In fact, he also played the role of lieutenant colonel and colonel.
He can't live his whole life again just to pretend to be a Japanese devil all day long, right?
He is a man with dreams and pursuits!
Now Xu Kun dreams of trying other roles, let alone playing multiple roles by one person.
"It's not a good job, can I ask you two?"
Wang Peng changed the subject as he spoke: "But there are some things I have to keep in mind..."
Before Wang Peng could finish his words, Xu Kun patted his chest and said, "Uncle Wang, don't worry, we're here to hone our acting skills, and we'll get paid as long as we look at it!"
Since his reputation as "Killing Machine Xu Sang" has spread, his salary has also increased. He earned a small three thousand in just over a month, and Bao Qiang also earned more than a thousand.
Needless to say, the crew that can cast him and Bao Qiang to play multiple roles must be a poor grass-stage crew. It is normal for them not to be able to pay enough for the film.
Unexpectedly, Wang Peng said: "It's not about money. We are a big crew. This drama was actually filmed last year. This time we are specially here to reshoot some scenes. Because the time is tight and the tasks are heavy, we need a few capable people." The hard-working special actors are on call day and night, helping with odd jobs when they are not acting.”
"The filming was completed last year?"
Xu Kun felt confused: "If you didn't fix the problem early, why did it take so long to reshoot?"
"Have you forgotten, haven't radio and television introduced new regulations a while ago? Mainland actors must account for half of our co-productions. This drama was about to be broadcast, but it was stuck by the new regulations. Now we can only reshoot it and include the female actors. The second one is a mainland actor.”
There are actually two new regulations for radio and television, one is about co-productions, and the other is to increase the broadcasting time of prime-time TV dramas - it is thanks to the latter that the number of production crews that have recently started production has increased exponentially, otherwise Xu Kun would not have been able to do anything Acting as a devil for so many days in a row.
"I said so."
Xu Kun suddenly felt a little gloating about his misfortune.
Wang Peng explained again: "This is a big crew, and there are many big stars in it. Let's make a deal first. When you go, you must be honest. You can't act randomly just because someone has a bad attitude."
Xu Kun ignored the latter sentence and asked curiously: "What celebrities are there here?"
"There are so many, the fifth elder brother and Qing'er in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", the heroine in "The Young Master Bao Qingtian", the hero is Zhang Weijian from Hong Kong - by the way, there is also a Golden Horse Award-winning actress in it. Woolen cloth!"
"Golden Horse Best Actress? Is it Zhang Manyu?!"
Xu Kun suddenly became excited. He had not spent more than a month in vain. He had gained a lot of knowledge about the entertainment industry. He knew that the Golden Horse Award was the most important award in the Chinese-speaking world. He also knew that Maggie Cheung won the award for "In the Mood for Love" last year. Golden Horse Best Actress.
"Uh~ You'll know when you join the group."
Wang Peng kept the matter vague, told Xu Kun the name of the crew, the time and address of the meeting, and hung up the phone.
""Young Zhang Sanfeng"."
Xu Kun murmured the names of the crew, and was full of expectations for joining the crew this time.
…………
"The waves were shouting in the angry droplets, contending with the strong wind. Look, the strong wind hugged the layers of huge waves..." When I returned to the rental house, I heard Baoqiang reciting Gorky's "Haiyan" outside the door. , the voice is ups and downs, the tone is obviously stronger than before, and the enunciation is clearer, but unfortunately the problem of a shrill voice has not improved much.
To be honest, living with such a hard-working person like Bao Qiang is quite stressful mentally.
Fortunately, Xu Kun has a bigger heart.
After pushing the door open and going in, he took out a pen and paper, lay down next to the TV and wrote down the names of the crew, the time of the gathering, and the address.
Baoqiang pressed the pause button on the recorder and asked curiously: "Brother Kun, didn't you say you wanted to rest for a few days before taking up the job?"
Baoqiang hasn't taken any jobs in the past two days. He doesn't care about what he's acting in. It's good if he can get some lines. However, he just finished twelve training classes and watched so many classic movies. Baoqiang also wants to spend some money. It took a few days to settle down, and I bought a second-hand tape recorder specifically for this purpose.
"Who says I won't take the job? I just don't want to play a devil for the time being!"
Xu Kun said, and patted the note he had just written proudly: "Look, "Young Zhang Sanfeng" is a big co-production between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, starring the Golden Horse Film Queen!"
"real?!"
Baoqiang immediately became excited and asked repeatedly: "Is it Zhang Manyu or Lin Qingxia?!"
Most of the movies they have watched recently are from Hong Kong. Xu Kun admires Zhang Manyu the most because of "In the Mood for Love", while Bao Qiang has a special liking for Dongfang Invincible, played by Lin Qingxia.
This is also the arrogant capital of Hong Kong Islanders. Even if Xu Kun always wants to trick them, we have to admit that the Hong Kong Island film and television industry in the 1980s and 1990s was really powerful.
"Can't she be an actress from our mainland?"
Xu Kun rolled his eyes, although the first thing he thought of was Zhang Manyu.
"From the mainland?"
Baoqiang scratched his head. He really didn't know anyone in the Mainland who had won the Golden Horse Best Actress, so he could only name the two that he thought were most likely: "Is that Gong Li or Liu Xiaoqing?"
"I don't know, Uncle Wang didn't elaborate."
Xu Kun spread his hands and said immediately: "Anyway, we'll find out when we get into the crew. This time we have to take a closer look at how the best actors and actresses act!"
Baoqiang nodded heavily. He was excited at first. Then he thought of an important question and asked cautiously: "Do you have a role for me?"
After attending training courses for a month every now and then, the most significant change he made was that he changed me into me.
"Nonsense, can this be done without you?"
Xu Kun briefly recounted the specific situation. Hearing that both of them had the opportunity to play multiple roles, Bao Qiang was so happy that he rubbed his hands like a fly, wishing he could join the cast immediately.
He has been working in the capital for two years. It is not that he has never been in a big production crew, but he has always served as the most basic background wall. Now that he heard that he had the opportunity to act with the Golden Horse Best Actress, he was so excited that he couldn't even speak.
After a while, he calmed down and said sincerely: "Brother Kun, I'm lucky to have you with me!"
"Hey~"
Xu Kun pushed him aside with a look of disgust on his face, "What are you kiddo doing to stir up emotion? It gave me goosebumps. Let's go and find Brother Lin to get some pork head meat, peanuts, and cold vegetables. Let's just make some. "It's white."
Although Baoqiang doesn't drink much, he definitely wants to celebrate after receiving such good news.
When Xu Kun helped him back in the evening, he heard people next door crying heartbrokenly and the sound of things being smashed.
Tsk~
It seems that this couple will not be able to survive the New Year.
After throwing the drunken Baoqiang on the bed, and when Xu Kun went out to smoke in the yard, the idea suddenly came to his mind that he might as well rent the house next door.
Living in the same house with Bao Qiang is fine except for the fact that it's not convenient to relieve loneliness.
As a result, just as he was thinking about relieving his loneliness, he turned around and entered the house again when he heard indescribable noises coming from next door.
Fights at the head of the bed and fights at the end of the bed, the ancients never deceived me.
