The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 225 Handsome can be eaten? (two in one)

The choice of Yan Xiaoyue as the heroine of "The Matrix" (The Matrix) was really not due to Chen Jingxing's consideration of his feelings for an old friend, or not entirely.

Both male and female protagonists in the first part of "Matrix" have a lot of roles, and there are a lot of fighting scenes, so it is best to give priority to female hits.

And it’s not enough to shoot high-quality fighting scenes alone, you have to be young, handsome and beautiful, and conform to the aesthetic style of "Matrix". Cold and beautiful enough.

Despite the fact that there are so many celebrities in Huaguo, it is really hard to find those who meet the requirements.

If you can’t choose from well-known actors, then you have to choose from among the [-]th-tier unknown artists, but the [-]th-tier unknown artists must not have much filming experience, how can you not watch the video, so Chen Jingxing and the producer Wang Peng decided to look for actors with martial arts or dance skills.

Many actors who are good at acting actually have dancing skills, and it is easier for actors who have learned dance to get started and make moves designed by martial arts.

This is the principle set by the actor's casting, and the heroine Chen Jingxing actually thought of Yan Xiaoyue very early on.

In particular, Yan Xiaoyue has filmed three martial arts dramas, the last one is not much of a splash, but her performance in the first two, especially the first "Yue Nv Sword", is amazing and attracts a lot of fans.

The figure and movements are very beautiful, and on the basis of not having as many scenes as the heroine Ah Qing, Yan Xiaoyue's few action scenes left a very deep impression on the audience.

The acting skills are also very eye-catching, even surpassing the other two main female characters, vividly interpreting the dignified and sassy, ​​daring to love and daring to hate the princess of a country.

Although it is a costume drama, it may not fit the character sketch of "Matrix", but Yan Xiaoyue has a modern dress in "Comet". Although there is no action scene, a slight change of hairstyle can definitely hold the heroine of "Matrix".

As for the dress, Yan Xiaoyue's figure is also very good, and she can definitely hold up to the strong black leather jacket and black windbreaker.

So after seeing the fighting scenes in Yan Xiaoyue's three dramas with the producer Wang Peng, both of them agreed that Yan Xiaoyue would play the heroine of "Matrix", and Chen Jingxing also rejected Wang Peng's proposal to pick two more candidates , the heroine does not need any competition, Yan Xiaoyue is very suitable.

After Chen Jingxing notified the female lead, the producer Wang Peng basically finalized the male lead candidate list.

……

In a restaurant in Beijing, Lu Hongzhe pushed open the door of the box wearing a peaked cap and sunglasses. There were already more than a dozen people in the box, both men and women.

"Hey, old donkey, you look like a big star, are you afraid that you will meet fans asking for your autograph?"

"Hey, don't tell me, the old donkey looks like a little fresh meat wearing sunglasses."

"What are you talking about? The old donkey is a fresh meat."

Lu Hongzhe rolled his eyes and took off his hat, took off his coat, picked up his chopsticks and knocked on the table: "You think I'm the same as you? Master has evolved from a transparent child to an [-]th-line star. If you don't have to be so strict, you can enter Not this door."

A girl booed, "The big star wants to treat you today."

Lu Hongzhe patted his chest like a local rich man: "No problem, as long as you don't order Ausong Lafite Maotai, sea abalone and shark's fin, I will pay for it."

"Tch!" The old classmates raised their middle fingers one after another.

Most of the people here are Lu Hongzhe's old classmates at the Beijing Dance Academy, and this gathering can be regarded as a classmate dinner.

The Academy of Dance is also the cradle of stars, but after all, there are specializations in the art industry, which is still a lot worse than Beijing Film and Central Opera. So far in their current class, Lu Hongzhe has already been ranked in the forefront in terms of "money career" Yes, he has acted in several online dramas and online dramas, of course, most of them are supporting roles, until the beginning of the year when he filmed a martial arts online drama "Death Sword", he played the leading actor, and finally made a splash—mainly With his good looks and handsome action scenes, his acting skills are not so bright.

In addition to eating and drinking, old classmates will naturally talk about their career, emotional life and other recent developments.

Those who do not do well are naturally low-key, with "listening" as the top priority, and those who do well will inevitably talk more, "show off" in a way of complaining, and then criticize the current status quo of the industry .

"Look at that Wu Tingxuan, he doesn't dance very well, he doesn't even have enough core strength, his voice is even more hip, and his singing skills are also at the bottom of their group. A male lead in a commercial blockbuster as soon as he comes up with his debut work, this circle is hopeless." A man dressed in literary clothes and wearing a Japanese-style ball head shook his head and sighed, his tone was full of "unrecognized talent".

"That's right, I heard that "Illusion City" is still a trilogy. Such a big project requires him to be the male lead without any acting experience. Now the film company is only looking at the face and only the traffic?"

A short-haired girl had a different opinion: "You're not right. In terms of face, how can our donkey brother be worse than Wu Tingxuan? With sword eyebrows and star eyes, I think he is more handsome than Wu Tingxuan, and on the same level as Lu Han, but Lu Han's temperament is slightly softer, not as good as Wu Tingxuan's." Brother donkey is very handsome."

Lu Hongzhe listened to the smugness, and quickly covered his heart: "Yingzi, if you say this, I will be torn apart by other fans. My acting career has finally improved. Don't you gangsters harm me!"

The boy with the meatball head nodded: "So the traffic is still high. Luo Chen didn't have such good resources when he returned to China. They were all low-cost literary films. He waited for several years to get the resources of Chen Jingxing. This group of idols who returned to China He came up as the male lead of a commercial film, it seems that in the future, the film and television industry will really be the king of traffic, and it will be more and more difficult for the acting school to get ahead."

"Hey, but if anyone among us is expected to become a trafficker, I think it must be brother donkey. If brother donkey becomes prosperous in the future, don't forget the friendship between us!" Another boy joked with a smile.

"Brother Donkey and I still share the same bed."

"Fuck off, I'm going to kick you off the first time I get rich."

After laughing and laughing, the boy with the ball head asked Lu Hongzhe again: "Old donkey, what is your next play? Is it still an online university?"

He and Lu Hongzhe are the best friends among this group of people. He even considers himself to be of a higher level than Lu Hongzhe. Although he has never acted as a leading actor, he has just filmed a star drama with average ratings, but his performance is very good. Eye-catching, and his acting skills have been praised by many netizens, and now he also considers himself an acting school, which faintly means that he is different from Lu Hongzhe.

Lv Hongzhe didn't hide it: "The company wanted me to continue filming Wang Da, but I refused, mainly because I am over 25 years old, and my acting skills are not good, so my agent feels that I can't do it anymore. Continue to stay in the circle of Internet University, and seize the time to develop into film and television dramas, otherwise the opportunities will become less and less.

So I’ve been looking for a script recently. I was talking about the second male lead of an ancient puppet project. The manager thought the role was quite popular, but was rejected. Two days ago, I contacted another online drama, but I didn’t like the script too much. Satisfied, still talking.

Nowadays, there are too few high-quality projects, and they are often appointed internally before there is any news. Casting is also a flow priority. "

It can be seen that although Lu Hongzhe has advanced to a new level in his acting career recently, he still has anxiety. After all, he is not a young fresh meat in his early twenties. Although his appearance is still at the peak, if he still wants to improve his career, stay The time given to him is not plentiful, and late bloomers are a minority.

The ball-headed man persuaded in the tone of a life mentor: "Don't be too picky, some scenes are well shot, it's best to take advantage of the 'golden period of appearance' to produce more works, sharpen your acting skills, and don't always think about the leading role and supporting roles Yes, after honed acting skills, gold will always shine.

My next drama is going to cooperate with director Zhao Baogang. It is a professional drama about doctors. I am the second male lead in it. Director Baogang just watched my performance in the previous drama and felt that my performance is not bad. I joined the group by roll call. "

Zhao Baogang is a well-known director in China. He has directed a series of well-received and well-received TV series, especially good at urban themes.

"Brother Xiang, it's alright, you've started to act in director Baogang's play without making a sound!"

"Brother Xiang, don't forget us old classmates when you get rich."

"Brother Xiang is indeed an actor. If you want me to say that the director actually depends on his strength. No matter how many fans Wu Tingxuan has, can director Baogang fall in love with him?"

Sure enough, as soon as the name Zhao Baogang came out, everyone immediately exclaimed. No matter what you think in your heart, you still have to flatter and congratulate him on the surface.

After being toasted for a round of wine, the ball-headed man turned his head slightly, looked at Lu Hongzhe with a red face and asked in surprise: "Old donkey, I don't think you have drunk? I remember that you were a good drinker in class back then, quit drinking." gone?"

Lu Hongzhe hurriedly protected the glass: "No, Brother Xiang, the main reason is that I drove here, so I can't drink."

Wanzitou waved his hand: "Look at what you said, it seems that no one came here by car. The girls are all drunk, and you are a big man. Don't be like Wu Tingxuan and Lu Han's gang of sissies. I will pay for it." Please drive for everyone!"

The more Lu Hongzhe shirks him, the more he wants to force him to drink, as if this proves that he has finally overwhelmed him. Since the Beijing Dance Academy, Lu Hongzhe has been the class grass of their class and even the grass. He is the first in the class, and he is overwhelmed by everything.

After several years of hard work after graduation, he finally thinks that he is better than Lu Hongzhe, hmph, isn't it just because he is handsome?His acting skills are so good that he can still play the leading role, even if it is the leading role of Wang Da, he has filmed so many dramas and has never played the leading role. Fortunately, there are still people who know the goods in this circle, not all because of his appearance.

So what if he is handsome, can he be eaten as handsome?Let's see how many years he can hang out in the Internet drama circle?

"It suddenly occurred to me that there is still an intern actor in this show. If you want this role, I have a good relationship with Director Baogang. I will talk to the director and see if I can give this role to you.

Don’t be disgusted, this role is not a gimmick, the role is very heavy, the lines are not heavy, so it’s not difficult to act, I think you can definitely do it, after all, this is the star drama directed by Zhao Baogang, it’s not like the Internet drama. One level, you drank this glass of wine, I will call Director Baosteel now! "

Maybe it was because of the alcohol on his head. After Wanzitou finished speaking, he immediately took out his mobile phone. As soon as Lu Hongzhe drank the glass of wine and "bowed to him", he immediately called the "familiar" director Zhao Baogang.

Just when Lu Hongzhe was about to organize his words to refuse, his phone rang suddenly, and the harsh voice made the booing crowd suddenly quiet.

Lu Hongzhe was about to take the opportunity of going out to answer the phone in the corridor to refuse the glass of wine. He was standing with his mobile phone waiting for Lu Hongzhe to drink softly. The meatball head was a bit embarrassing, and the alcohol further raged in his brain. Seeing that Lu Hongzhe was about to go out , hurriedly shouted: "Yang Chen, fat man, hurry up and stop, our old classmates finally got together this once, so we don't want to escape on the phone."

When there are too many people, there is absolutely no shortage of idiots, without exception.As soon as Wanzitou's words came out, there were naturally booers who stopped Lu Hongzhe.

Lu Hongzhe sat back helplessly, and made a silent gesture: "It's my manager."

After answering the call, the manager's capable and somewhat excited voice came from the phone.

"Xiao Zhe, I don't care what you are doing now, go back to the company immediately!"

"Brother Cao, I'm having a reunion with my old classmates, I..."

"I don't care if you have a party with the king of heaven! Dreamworks sent you a film appointment. It's Chen Jingxing's new movie, and it's the leading actor. Mr. Xing of the company is waiting here. Wait, you don't know how to drink, right? Then you Tell me where you are now, I will pick you up!"

Lu Hongzhe quickly woke up from his stupor: "No need, brother Cao, I'll be at the company right away!" After saying that, he ran out the door.

Just pushed open the door of the box and turned back, picked up the jacket and sunglasses: "I'm sorry everyone, brother Xiang, please put the money first, I will transfer the money to you on WeChat later, and next time I treat you, I will apologize to everyone!"

Everyone looked at the open door of the box, and they didn't come back to their senses. It took a long time before a voice laughed dryly: "It can't be that he and his manager discussed it. If you don't use the phone, you can use the phone if you need it." What about Chen Jingxing's new movie, and the leading actor, haha, ha..." The voice became weaker and weaker.

The blush on Wanzitou's face has disappeared. I don't know if the alcohol has gone down or it has all entered the brain. He sat down a little awkwardly. Although he saw that everyone was not looking at him from the corner of his eye, he felt that they all Peeking at him.

He mechanically picked up the wine glass on the table and emptied it, but the aroma just now was completely gone, only a strong sour taste stirred between his lips and teeth...

"I just got another piece of news from DreamWorks." The agent looked at Lu Hongzhe who was a little dizzy along the way, with an indescribable excitement on his face: "This new project of Director Chen is a trilogy. ! So this time the contract is signed for three parts.”

"Do you know what a trilogy is?"

Lu Hongzhe nodded mechanically.

"You know what? Do you know how many movies Luo Chen and Chen Jingxing have collaborated on? Two! Do you know the meaning of three movies? Even a pig can make you a first-line star! This time it's an audition, an audition It means that there will still be variables, but absolutely absolutely absolutely must not let variables happen, understand? Otherwise, President Xing will eat me first, and then eat you! I am not alarmist."

Lv Hongzhe was a bit worried about gains and losses: "But, Chen Jingxing should have higher requirements for acting skills? He criticized Wu Tingxuan before. Although my acting skills are not bad, they are not very good either."

The agent looked at Lu Hongzhe with the expression of a millionaire lottery winner: "Do you think Director Chen Jingxing selected you because of your acting skills? You don't have to worry about this, remember when I first signed you, Are you asking me why I think you have a 'money future'?"

"In this era, being handsome can be eaten!"
