Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 187
Yesterday, the group leader personally found him and said that he found a role for him, not just a simple soy sauce, but a few close-up shots, and a rival scene with the male lead in the middle.

Ask him to audition at four o'clock in the afternoon, and tell him to cherish this opportunity.

"Xiaoxi, I got a good word from Director Zhang to come because I saw that you can endure hardships. You have to perform well and don't embarrass me!"

Before leaving, the group leader gave some advice.

But what to do now?
Usually there is no chance, but now the opportunity has come all at once!
"Liu Ming, what do you think I should do?" Lu Xiaoxi and his own hesitation told the friend who rented the house with him, who is also an extra performer.

Liu Ming stroked his messy hair, and thought about it seriously: "I think you'd better listen to the group leader and go to Director Zhang for an audition. I think this is more practical than you hiring a leading actor."

"But this is an opportunity, maybe I can really play the leading role, then I will be famous!" Lu Xiaoxi retorted.

"Dream you! Let me tell you, entering the re-examination is only the first level. I don't know how many people have asked to go to the re-examination? What do you have? Are you handsome? You can only say that you are like you. A lot."

"What about acting skills? I admit it. You are better than me, but you have no formal training! You haven't been to art school!"

"The recruitment announcement didn't say to look at the diploma!" Lu Xiaoxi was a little stubborn.

"Okay, okay, I can't say enough about you, why don't you dream of being your number one male?" Liu Ming waved his hands helplessly after hearing this:

"Hey, Xiaoxi, if you don't go to Director Zhang's audition, I'll tell the group leader that I'm going, don't say you're the one who takes care of you."

"Go ahead."

"Okay, I wish you success!" Liu Ming patted Lu Xiaoxi on the shoulder, wrapped his military coat tightly and went out.

Lu Xiaoxi didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately sent a text message back to the other party: "Four o'clock video connection."

Of course, you have to prepare yourself.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Xiaoxi's WeChat rang, and he saw that it was a request for a video chat with Meizi, whose net name was Xia Tian. He knew it was the director Mingmei, so he quickly connected.

The screen flickered a few times, but a handsome middle-aged man's face appeared.

What the hell!

The director turned out to be a man? !

Lu Xiaoxi was very surprised, the director's profile was clearly a woman.

However, his doubts were quickly dispelled, and a beautiful and outrageous face appeared in the camera.

"Hello, Lu Xiaoxi, I'm Mingmei."

Sound good to hear.

"Hello, Director."

Lu Xiaoxi felt a little nervous.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you ask first?"

In the video, Mingmei said to the man next to her.

Only then did Lu Xiaoxi know that this man was the director's brother-in-law.

Yu Dongqing carefully looked at Lu Xiaoxi in the camera, her lips were tightly pursed, revealing a bit of stubbornness, but also a little rebellious.

This is exactly what Liu Beishan looks like in the movie.

Compared with the original space-time Yi Yang Qianxi, the facial features are not very delicate, but they are more down-to-earth.

It's him!

Yu Dongqing secretly praised her in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface.

"Hello, Lu Xiaoxi, my name is Yu Dongqing, and I'm the screenwriter and consultant of this film." Yu Dongqing gave his name, and he couldn't test others in the name of Mingmei's brother-in-law.

"Hi, hello." Lu Xiaoxi was a little flustered.

Yu Dongqing?

Brother-in-law!

Big singer.

He really likes to listen to the song "Beijing Beijing Beijing" written by him. Although it is written about people who are drifting north rather than drifting horizontally, Lu Xiaoxi feels like he is one of them.

I laugh here I cry here
I live and die here
But today he didn't dare to think too much, the other party was testing him.

Yu Dongqing didn't ask the other party how old he was, why he wanted to be an actor and other nonsense, but sent a document to the other party.

"Lu Xiaoxi, this is a brief plot of the movie, especially about the character Xiaoxi, you should watch it first."

Lu Xiaoxi opened the document and looked at it seriously.

It's not long, he finished it in 5 minutes.

"Okay, Lu Xiaoxi, let me ask you, how do you understand the role of Xiaobei in the script?"

Lu Xiaoxi thought for a while and said, "I think Xiaobei is a bad person on the surface, he steals, robs and fights, he looks very vicious, but this is to protect himself from harm."

"But his heart is quite soft, he longs for warmth, that's why Chen Nian only helped him once, and took the blame for her without hesitation."

"Director Yu, I don't know if I'm right?"

"Very good." Yu Dongqing smiled, and said again: "Please do an impromptu performance according to my request."

"You say."

"It's the scene where Chen Nian looks at the fish tank and Xiao Xi looks at her in the play, OK?"

Yu Dongqing told the other party her request.

Lu Xiaoxi looked at the lines sent by Yu Dongqing, silently reciting and brewing feelings.

After 2 minutes, he nodded.

"Start! I am Chen Nian."

Yu Dongqing made a concentrated expression, as if she was really staring at a fish tank.Lu Xiaoxi looked at her immediately through the screen.

The eyes are gentle.

Both were speechless.

Mingmei was surprised to find that Lu Xiaoxi was able to enter the character state so quickly, but he had not received formal training.

The scene lasted less than a minute, and Yu Dongqing called to stop.

"How is it, Mingmei?" Yu Dongqing asked Mingmei who had been observing Lu Xiaoxi just now.

"The show was pretty good!"

"Congratulations, you have been selected to play the role of Liu Beishan. Before the filming officially starts, you will be notified to come to Yanjing." Yu Dongqing said to Lu Xiaoxi with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you." Lu Xiaoxi was ecstatic when he heard this, and suddenly thought of a question, and asked cautiously:

"The salary?"

"How much do you think is appropriate?" Yu Dongqing asked back.

"One hundred thousand, how about one hundred thousand? Eighty thousand is fine!" Lu Xiaoxi reported a figure.

"That's [-] yuan. The contract will be sent to you immediately, and it will be sent back after you sign it." Yu Dongqing replied very readily.

Eighty thousand.
It is said that in the original time and space, Yi Yang Qianxi's salary for this movie was 800 million!

Then Mingmei discussed some details with him before turning off the video.

"Brother-in-law, isn't Lu Xiaoxi's salary too low? It's only [-]." Mingmei asked a little: "I think his performance is very good!"

"It's not high." Yu Dongqing smiled: "It's just this opportunity, next time his salary will be doubled, we cherish this opportunity."

The male lead actor was determined in this way, and the female lead Chen Ran was not found from the group performances, but a school girl named Qin Xiao from the Central Academy of Drama, who was in a different class from Mingmei.

Yu Dongqing was not there during the audition, afterward Mingmei sent him a performance video, she really looks a bit like Zhou Dongyu from that time and space, thin and small.

Of course, compared with Zhou Dongyu's acting skills, he is a little greener, but it is above the passing line, and the salary is only 15.

Ha, it's also much lower than Zhou Dongyu's salary in Time and Space.

Although there is no report on the Internet about Zhou Dongyu's specific filming fee for "Youth in Youth", it must be higher than Yi Yang Qianxi's 800 million yuan, after all, she is the queen of the Golden Horse Actress.

"Did Qin Xiao agree to shave her head in the play?" Yu Dongqing thought of a detail and hurriedly called Mingmei to ask.

"I disagreed at first, but later I agreed with my insistence."

"That's good."

In the movie, the heroine Chen Nian shaves her head. That is a classic image, and it cannot be out of shape.
