Chapter 167 I'm Getting Prosperous!
······
In Kyoto, Zhang Yu was woken up by the ringing of the phone, which made him a little annoyed, but after a pause, he still went to touch the phone honestly:
"Hello, who are you?"

"Hello, I'm Li Jingkun, may I ask Mr. Zhang Yu?"

"I am, may I ask... are you Li Jingkun?"

Zhang Yu suddenly got a jolt, and suddenly became sober.

"Yes, I'm Li Jingkun. There is a character here who wants to ask you to try it out. Are you interested?"

"Role?"

Zhang Yu was a little confused. He started his career as an actor in 05, but after five or six years of acting, he still only plays a small role.

And Li Jingkun has become famous in recent years. Not only did the "Youth Trilogy" become a big success, but "Detective Chinatown" broke through 10 billion at the box office.

And such a big man, why would he suddenly find him, an unknown junior?And still call in person?
"Are you kidding me? I don't have much money, so don't try to get money from me."

Since the popularization of mobile phones, telecom fraud has been repeatedly banned, and even in the next ten years, it has not been able to completely solve this problem.Zhang Yu has also heard a lot of such news recently, so he is very vigilant.

"Do you know where Longqi Film and Television is? If you are free tomorrow, you can come to the company directly to find me."

Zhang Yu was a little embarrassed by the light laughter on the other side, but since the other party replied like that, it seemed to be true?

Of course he knows where it is, Haiding District.

He has been in the capital for many years, as long as there is an address for him, is he afraid that he can't find it?Besides, even if you don't know where it is, Longqi Film and Television is famous, and you can just let the taxi driver drive you there.

"Uh, ok, I'm free, I'm free tomorrow, what time should I go?"

"Tomorrow afternoon, three or four o'clock is fine. Recently, I arrive at the company earlier."

"Okay, no problem, be there on time!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yu was still excited!
Although he didn't know why the other party would suddenly contact him as a small person, he felt that his chance should be coming!
Then, he wondered if he was suffering from paranoia just now, so he quickly took out the call record and looked at it again.

Well, there is indeed a call log...
By the way, you have to save the notes!
After a short operation, he released it only after ten o'clock in the morning, so he wanted to continue to sleep for a while, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep...
After finally staying up until four o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yu felt that at least he had to find someone to talk to, so he called a friend of his and said that he would invite him to dinner and asked if he was free.

"Dinner? You please? Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding, my buddies are happy today, so let me invite you!" Zhang Yu said.

"All right, where are you going?"

"Go to your side, I'll go there now."

"Okay, then you come."

Zhang Yu began to dress up, but after wiping her hair, she felt something was wrong. She had to meet a big shot tomorrow, and she had to shave her beard...

After shaving, I feel that my hair is a bit long. I wonder if I should also get a new hairstyle?
But after thinking about it for a while, I gave up, because being an actor is different from interviewing for other jobs. You can’t cut your hair casually. Maybe the character in it needs this hairstyle. Already...

So tomorrow just be clean and refreshed!

In this way, after four, five, and 10 minutes, he dawdled downstairs and went to his friend's place.

His friend is an advertising director named Lu Huizhou, who is well-known in the industry and is also the CEO of an advertising company, so his status is naturally not the same as his.

However, the relationship between the two is not bad, and they are still in a cooperative relationship until now.

In 2010, Lu Huizhou was going to make a movie called "The Right Hand Turns into a Gun".Then I met Zhang Yu, and felt that Zhang Yu's image and acting skills were good, and he was very suitable to appear in my own work, so the two got to know each other like this.

But because of the relatively busy advertising business, he has been delaying the creation and production of the film.Therefore, the film was shot intermittently and never finished.

In 11, Kuku.com wanted to launch an online movie project, and invited many people to participate across borders.For example, Zhang Yadong, Luo Pang, Happy Twist Teng, etc., Lu Huizhou also received the invitation.

He thought to himself, anyway, "The Right Hand Turns into a Gun" has no inspiration recently, so let's earn the money that is easy to get first!

So a new script was created, and Zhang Yu was also given a role.

Now two or three years have passed, and the micro-movie "How Long is the Love of 59 Centimeters of Happiness" on Kuku.com has been broadcast for a long time, and "The Right Hand Turns into a Gun" has not yet finished filming...

"When can we continue shooting that movie?"

Inside the food stall, Zhang Yu and Lu Huizhou were sitting and drinking.

"Don't rush, don't rush, I don't have any inspiration recently!"

"..."

Zhang Yu was a little speechless, he didn't know how many times he had heard these words.

But after all, he was the one who had promised to act and finished the filming. Now the director says that the inspiration is insufficient and the time has not come. What can he do?We can only continue to wait!
"Then you have to hurry up, I may be rich soon."

"Hahaha. Yes, no problem." Lu Huizhou picked up a piece of lean meat, and then poured himself a small glass of wine.

Zhang Yu's chest is a little tight, the topic has been brought here, and you don't care about it and don't make fun of it?
"Why don't you ask me how I got rich?"

Lu Huizhou had no choice but to stop his chopsticks and glanced at him: "Why are you getting rich?"

Zhang Yu said: "Li Jingkun asked me to make a movie."

Lu Huizhou looked at him seriously, from the beginning to the end.

"What do you mean? Look down on people?"

Lu Huizhou said: "It's not that I look down on people, your ability is still good - I was just thinking, Director Li asked you to make a youth film, right? Then I wondered what kind of role you are suitable for in a campus film Boy—a bastard?"

"roll!"

Zhang Yu was speechless, but he had indeed been thinking about this question for a whole day. He was so bored that he wanted to talk to someone, and he couldn't wait to tell him about it.

Of course he has also guessed about youth films, after all, Li Jingkun also started filming the "Youth Trilogy", but he feels that with his appearance, it is impossible to make youth films...

I didn't expect to be caught by Lu Huizhou's words - it seems that he can really play a gangster in a youth film!

Lu Huizhou said: "Just kidding, just kidding, don't take it seriously—but Li Jingkun really came looking for you? Are you right?"

Zhang Yu put down the quickie, took out his cell phone, and let him look at his call records.

"Li Jingkun! Did you see that? I called in the morning!"

"..."

Lu Huizhou was speechless: "Do you think I'm stupid or you are stupid? Didn't you make a note of this name yourself?"

"..."

Zhang Yu said: "Anyway, it's Director Li Da's call, if it's fake, I'm going to report to Longqi Film and Television tomorrow!"

Lu Huizhou said: "Okay, after thinking about it, you have nothing to be deceived, so I wish you a bright future here!"

Zhang Yu clinked glasses with him: "The future is bright!"

After the two put down their wine glasses, Lu Huizhou said, "But didn't he say what role he wanted you to play?"

Zhang Yu said: "No, I hadn't woken up at the time, and I was in a daze."

"...So you didn't ask? What if it's really just a small role?"

"... I didn't ask, I didn't think too much about it, I was still wondering if it was a scam call. But it can't be a small role, right? Director Li made the call himself!"

"Maybe you are suitable for some unique roles? Like Xiao Shenyang in "Detective Chinatown"?"

Of course, Zhang Yu has also watched "Detective Chinatown", and he also thought about it today, it seems that there is indeed a great possibility, comedy films need the kind of not handsome, but with some characteristics...

Lu Huizhou said: "Even if it's just a small role, if it's a big movie like "Chinatown", it can still be a hit!"

Zhang Yu nodded, feeling a little worried about his gains and losses, and finally said: "Otherwise, you should treat me today."

"..."

······
On the day of reading the script of "Night and Day", Li Jingkun asked Wang Yang to be the photographer and continue to shoot material.

Their filming location at this time is outside the company's meeting room. He plans to record some titles outside the meeting room before the reading begins, and introduce the meaning and significance of the script reading to everyone.

Moreover, he is the boss after all, and he is still at work, so although there are some people coming and going behind him, at most everyone just smiles and looks at this side, and no one makes loud noises or comes to disturb him.

Li Jingkun said to the camera:
"The script reading is going to start today, and it will be held in the conference room behind me later, and you can see that many people have already gone in to make preparations.

Since the first film was shot, I have been organizing script reading activities; and up to now, it has basically become a 'tradition', just want to make my film, this process is indispensable!

Because I found that script reading is really important, and it has a lot of benefits for film shooting and production.If the script reading is done well, there will be a lot of energy and resources left for filming.

So what is script reading?To put it simply, everyone gathers together to read the script.

To expand a little bit, it is to gather the director, screenwriter, actors, photography team, recording team, production team and other main creative personnel together, let the actors get into the mood of the performance, and read the script from beginning to end.

So what are the benefits of script reading?

One, in the process of reading, the actors will have a further understanding of the characters and events.

Second, the actors can point out what they don't understand, and both the screenwriter and the director can answer.In this process, in addition to actors, it is actually of great benefit to directors, screenwriters and other main creators, and there will often be a better understanding.

Three, check for leaks and fill in vacancies.This point is also very important; besides the script reading is of great help to the actors, why should people from other groups participate?
Because from the script to the shooting, it is a process from two-dimensional to three-dimensional on-site, and it is also a process from the screenwriter working alone to the collaborative work of various departments. This process cannot be seamlessly connected without the link of script reading. ..."

He talked a lot by himself again, and more and more people passed by behind him, because it was almost time to start.

He has been an "old man" who has been filming for several years, and has held script readings many times, so he is proficient in this kind of workflow and system, so he has nagged a lot.

Of course he himself said it very well. After all, he was only shooting his own movie diary. He didn't need to care about hits and box office, and he didn't care if he was said to be too long-winded or boring, so he said whatever came to mind.

"Li Jingkun's Shooting Diary" was not originally intended to be a funny or purely entertaining video, and many of the contents are actually a bit threshold.

Of course, viewers who can watch it can also watch it as a recreational video.

But of course there was an end, and there were a lot of small talk at the end.

"Omi and Bangziguo film and television circles have also done a lot of script readings. You should be able to find some videos on the Internet. Basically, every actor is very involved. It is a formal performance.

A good actor must be like this, to be able to let others not look at your expression, but only through your lines, only through your voice, you can feel your emotions and emotions, and you can know whether you can actually perform... ·”

While talking, Li Jingkun suddenly felt that the expressions of the people around him were a bit wrong, even Wang Yang, the photographer opposite, had a smile on his lips.He guessed if someone was playing tricks behind his back, so he turned his head and saw Liu Tianxian all at once.

In fact, she didn't bother too much or was funny or something, she just stood not far away, smiled and waved at the camera, and then made a scissors hand.

"Would you like to say a few words?" Li Jingkun said to her with a smile.

Liu Tianxian smiled and shook his head: "You can just say it, it's a good one."

"I'm done talking."

She still can't come.

Li Jingkun said: "Okay, what time is it now? Is everyone here?"

When they are all here, wait for him alone.

Therefore, the script reading will officially begin.

Each reading session usually takes about 3 to 5 hours, and of course there will be a break in the middle.However, it is definitely not possible to complete all the content in one day, so it usually takes about three or four days.

After the reading session, Li Jingkun also conducted a brief interview with all the groups. Actors are essential, and then the photography group, recording group, etc. were also interviewed.

Everyone talked about the gains and feelings of this reading session.

After the interview with Liu Tianxian, he was surprised to find that the other party had improved a lot, so after the interview, the two chatted alone for a while.

"It feels like you've really improved a lot."

"Really?" Liu Tianxian said.

"Yeah. Now that there's no camera, I don't need to flatter you—so you've been working hard on your homework during this time?"

"It's not bad, basically I don't have any other work arrangements, so I devoted myself to this movie."

"Good, good."

"I think I can't miss the opportunity, right? After all, this script is really good! And you have also helped and inspired me a lot. I think I already understand the state of mind of the heroine."

Li Jingkun nodded, and then served the other party a teacup.

The two were chatting in his office at this time, and they were not needed for other work for the time being.

At this time, the 4-day script reading session was also over. Except for Liu's mother who came with her on the first day, Liu Tianxian came by herself for the other 3 days.

And the two of them are male and female protagonists, so it's not surprising that they often sit together to discuss scripts or play against each other.

Li Jingkun said: "Then shall I talk about my understanding of the heroine now?"
