Chapter 380: Support from noble people
The next day, Su Zhe sent Zhang Hongwei the script of "Ma Liang, the Magic Brush", and Zhang Hongwei replied with emotion:

"As expected of the famous fast shooter in the industry! So fast!"

Su Zhe really couldn't stand the title of "Quick Gunner", so he replied with a question mark emoticon, deliberately asking:

"Who revealed the secret?"

After all, Zhang Hongwei was old and didn't understand that Su Zhe was trying to make fun of himself. After being silent for a while, he silently sent him a doctor's business card and introduced:
"Dr. Zhang is of high standard and trustworthy."

Su Zhe:......

He was helpless and could not accept such a big blame, so he had to explain:
"Mr. Zhang, I'm just joking. If you don't believe me, just ask me. My hard power is well-known in the industry."

Zhang Hongwei's mouth twitched: What does it mean to be well-known?

At this time, Su Zhe also discovered the blind spot and asked without thinking:
"Wait a minute, Mr. Zhang, why do you know this kind of doctor? Do you know that he is very skilled?"

An awkward silence.

Soon, Su Zhe withdrew what he had just said, and both of them closed the dialog box silently.

Zhang Hongwei was so annoyed that he wanted to slap himself:

"Let you talk more! Let you be kind!"

Su Zhe laughed loudly:
"Lao Zhang has found a sweet wife. It seems he is under a lot of pressure."

Because of this incident, Zhang Hongwei was too embarrassed to report to Su Zhe, so he simply asked Xu Cui to be the producer.

Xu Cui serves as a producer for the first time. Although it is only a short film for Platter Movies, looking at the famous big names in the industry alongside her, it can definitely be regarded as a career jump.

It's just that she doesn't know that this comes from an old man's inability to do what he wants...

Xu Cui cherished this opportunity very much, and with the support of Mary Sue, she quickly prepared the crew.

But she also encountered a problem - she couldn't find the second male lead in the short film, "Mendeleev", Village Chief Wei.

In his previous life, he was played by Mahua's Wei Xiang. His comedy effect is very good. Whether in "Ma Liang" or "The Richest Man in Xihong City", he is an extremely outstanding supporting role and can be called a golden supporting role in comedy films.

As for starring as the male lead, although "The Killer" has a low rating, it has a box office of 26 billion, has almost no fan base, and does not even involve Shen Teng to defraud. It is all based on baggage, which is very rare.

Such scarce talent is hard to find. Actors who can act well in comedy are rarer than actors who can act well in drama.

For this reason, Xu Cui tried out all the artists in Mary Sune, and the news spread.

Who wouldn't want to be the second male lead in Su Zhe's movie? Even if it’s just a short film, there are countless people who want to audition.

Even Su Zhe received requests from many old friends and seniors and had to hold a large-scale audition to make a fair selection regardless of status.

However, after trying half of the entertainment industry, he was most satisfied with being an amateur actor.

"Yan Qingbing, have you never studied acting?" Su Zhe stared at his resume, feeling a little incredible.

Yan Qingbing, a middle-aged man with a sense of humor, said nervously:
"I never went to acting school, but I have had a dream of acting since I was a child. I like to imitate classic film and television dramas. After posting them online, I won the love of many netizens."

Su Zhe used his mobile phone to find his short video account and found that he was still a small internet celebrity. He looked through the videos of his imitations and found that no matter how serious the role was, he could make people laugh, and he was considered a talent.

The director couldn't help but question him:

"Can Internet celebrities come to audition? Have you ever acted in a normal drama?"

Yan Qingbing quickly explained:
"I have acted, and I was lucky enough to act with Mr. Su, in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"..."

Su Zhe was stunned when he said:
"We have acted? Why didn't I remember...oh!"

He suddenly remembered:

"You played the role of the audience during a competition to recruit a bride, right? I remember your expression was very exaggerated at the time."

"Do you still remember me?" Yan Qingbing and everyone were dumbfounded. How could anyone remember a supporting actor in a play?
Everyone was dumbfounded and looked at Su Zhe in disbelief. They wondered what his brain was made of, silicon?

Is this what genius is?

Su Zhe saw the exaggerated looks of the people around him and shrugged:

Or how to call it "extraordinary" memory! Can just having a good memory be called extraordinary?

He changed the subject:
"Have you only played this kind of role without lines?"

Yan Qingbing couldn't stop marveling at Su Zhe's brain and said quickly:

"I also played a small role. In "The President" I said, 'Mr. Chen's sports car is so handsome.' In "The End of the Ming Dynasty," I said, 'I surrender'..."

He recited the lines he had read so carefully that the main creators in the interview could hardly hold their nerve:

Do these count as roles?
Yan Qingbing carefully added:

"And I will be able to play Da Te soon. I have more than a dozen lines..."

"Stop talking." The director stopped him, with a mocking look on his face, "That's just a walk-on."

Yan Qingbing's expression was a little sad.

The director asked Su Zhe:
"Mr. Su, let's go next. The next one is recommended by Teacher Chen. He has appeared in comedies and has good talent."

Yan Qingbing stood up silently, bowed humbly, and turned to leave.

Su Zhe suddenly asked him:
"Can you flick your tongue?"

Yan Qingbing was stunned for a moment, and quickly shouted with high emotion:

"Yes! I have imitated classic movies from the former Soviet Union..."

He couldn't wait to speak a string of Russian words, which Su Zhe couldn't understand. Anyway, it sounded quite right, so he asked:

"Call me stupid with your tongue."

Yan Qingbing felt strange, but he did not dare to delay and immediately said:
"What a fool~"

The tongue is good.

Su Zhe smiled and said to him:

"You have entered the terminal. Come again tomorrow."

Yan Qingbing was stunned and excited. He suppressed his excitement and bowed deeply to Su Zhe.

Su Zhe smiled and added:
"Whether it's successful or not, you can make it known that you've entered the final stage."

Yan Qingbing was stunned for a moment before he understood:
Even if he failed in the end, being able to reach the end of this huge audition would give him a halo through Su Zhe's eyes.

I don’t dare to say how important it is, but at least it allows him to easily play a supporting role in the circle, without having to continue to play a minor role.

"Thank you! Thank you..." He almost cried uncontrollably, wiped his eyes, and bowed deeply, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be an actor."

Su Zhe waved his hand and interrupted him:
"The extras are also actors. Don't really think of yourself as a walk-on. Only by observing and figuring things out can you seize the opportunity to stand out."

The director next to him changed his face slightly and immediately smiled:

"Mr. Su makes sense. Actors don't look at their academic qualifications, only their acting skills. Heroes emerge from the rough! Yan Qingbing, you have met a noble person. You must be grateful and don't let down Mr. Su's cultivation."

"Yes, yes, yes." Yan Qingbing did not respond perfunctorily. He was extremely grateful to Su Zhe in his heart.

Such a big star and boss are so kind to him, encourage him, and support him. How can I not be grateful?
He wished he could build a shrine when he returned home and offer incense to Su Zhe every day. It was no exaggeration at all!
After he left, Su Zhe sent final invitations to several of his connections.

In fact, he had already made a decision in his heart. Yan Qingbing was the best-performing auditionee.

But after all, there are many people who are introduced by friends, seniors, and partners. Letting them enter the final interview is considered a favor.

This will not affect the final selection, but can be done satisfactorily. This is a trick Su Zhe learned from Zhang Hongwei in the industry.

Don't tell me, although the old man is not good at it, he is really good at it.

(Zhang Hongwei:...Mr. Su, this is my resignation.)
The next day, the remaining actors had their final interview, and the director happily reported to Su Zhe that the interviewers had some verbal conflicts. After all, Yan Qingbing was out of tune with the others and was ridiculed.

The director saw that Su Zhe was optimistic about Yan Qingbing and expressed his favor:
"Shall I stop them?"

Su Zhe waved his hand, not caring——

It's so normal to be ridiculed when you're at your lowest point. You can only endure it, give in, and wait for the day when you break out of your cocoon and become a butterfly.

What should I do if I can’t wait?
What else can be done? Most of the world can't wait.

If Su Zhe is given a chance, he will become a noble person, not a nanny.

Moreover, a good comedian needs to accumulate humble life experiences, and he will not be able to make comedies that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, Su Zhe didn't say anything. He just conducted the final interview according to the procedures, distributed the audition script, and asked the actors to perform in turn.

As expected, Yan Qingbing still performed best. His slightly exaggerated acting was just right on the edge of realism.

As for others, they are either too exaggerated and embarrassing; or they are too tight. How can they make people laugh if they are not relaxed?
Su Zhe announced directly:

"Thank you all, you all performed so well, you are all talented people. But the role of the village chief is a bit weirder, and Yan Qingbing is modeled after this role. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

Yan Qingbing was hit by the huge pie and was speechless with excitement. He looked at Su Zhe gratefully and looked at certain people with pride and elation.

Although the others were disappointed, Su Zhe couldn't be shameless after being so embarrassed. He could only look at Yan Qingbing jealously and left without saying a word.

But this kind of jealousy only made Yan Qingbing even more happy. After they left, he couldn't wait to promise Su Zhe:
"Teacher Su, I am not lying. If you give way to Dongdong in the future, I will never..."

Su Zhe interrupted him again:
"Come on, let's go back and study the script carefully. We will start filming in a week."

She's not a beautiful woman, so who can be disgusted by saying these words of pledging her body to her?
Wait, not even beautiful women, he has someone now!

A week later, "Ma Liang" was launched.

In one scene, the protagonist Ma Liang pretended to have received a sweater from his wife Qiuxia sent to Russia, painted it on himself, and fooled him through the video.

But the painting on his back was not complete. After Qiuxia asked him to turn around, he could only pretend that the network was stuck, and he was like a wooden man who dared not move.

The village chief behind him also tacitly stopped moving, but the tea cup in his hand kept flowing with hot water. After Qiuxia closed the video, she immediately screamed because it was so hot.

"Ka! Very good." The director was very satisfied.

But Yan Qingbing moved closer to the monitor to watch the replay, and discovered the cheating point:
"Wait a minute, this water isn't even steaming. Who makes tea with cold water?"

Director Qi said:

"Wouldn't it burn you with hot water?"

Yan Qingbing said calmly:
"It becomes more real when it's permed. You can't act out that kind of reaction."

Su Zhe studied the sweater painted on his body and glanced at him:
"Pursuing truth in a way that harms the body is an evil way of acting and is not supported by any teaching materials."

"I haven't studied the textbook." Yan Qingbing looked at him firmly.

Su Zhe shrugged:

"I'm just an actor, ask the director."

He felt a little appreciative in his heart: those at the bottom have to work hard. Success easily and comfortably belongs only to those born in Rome.

But he can't support it openly, otherwise he will become a bully to his colleagues.

While Yan Qingbing was resolutely changing the hot water, Su Zhe also stared at himself in the viewfinder and murmured:
"Why do I feel that this part I acted is not funny?"

The original film is obviously very funny.

Xu Cui stood aside, her face a little red, and said:
"Brother, because you have such a good figure, the audience only cares about your abdominal muscles and doesn't pay attention to your baggage."

Su Zhe suddenly realized:

No wonder Shen Teng gained weight. It turned out to be that he was willing to hurt himself for the sake of burden! What a dedicated actor...

He couldn't write anymore, but his good figure did affect his role as Ma Liang.

After all, Ma Liang's background is that of a henpecked little guy, and he is so handsome. How can the audience recognize this?

Su Zhe patted his abdominal muscles in distress and said helplessly:
"I'm not going to gain weight for a short film, right? It's not worth it."

Xu Cui whispered:
"It's okay. Even if the burden is reduced, the audience will still watch it very seriously, especially the female audience."

Su Zhe nodded, looked at Xu Cui, and touched her head:

"Little girl, you know how to find a partner when you are greedy. You are the producer now, you can seduce whoever you want."

Xu Cui let out a dull sigh and muttered:

"What's the point of having a partner? I'm a workaholic and I just want to make money!"

Yan Qingbing came over, holding a cup of hot tea, and said jokingly:
"Who does Producer Xu want to seduce? Can he be the second male lead?"

Xu Cui rolled her eyes.

"Haha!" Several people laughed.

When filming again, Yan Qingbing really remained calm and poured hot tea on himself. It wasn't until Qiuxia closed the video that he stood up screaming. His reaction was too real.

Su Zhe saw his red neck and said in admiration:
"Director, keep one line." (Take another shot)
Yan Qingbing:! ! !

You want me to die!

"Hahaha!" Everyone in the crew laughed.

Amid laughter, Su Zhe said firmly to the behind-the-scenes camera:

"Remember him, his future is limitless and he will definitely become a hero."

Yan Qingbing's performance inspired other actors and they were all forced to give their best performance.

Even when "Eternal Dragon Sword" was aired online, Su Zhe didn't have time to pay attention. Anyway, he didn't need to promote it, so he kept filming on the set.

With the efforts of everyone, the filming of "Ma Liang" was quickly completed, and after post-processing, it was given to China Film Group.

But Huaying discovered a problem——

"Ma Liang" has a completely different temperament from the other four short films.

The overall temperament of a platter movie has a lot to do with the chief director.

In Su Zhe's previous life, the chief director of his motherland was Director Chen, who was generally more literary and sensational; the chief director of his hometown was Director Ning, who was generally more funny.

The chief director of "China and Me" is Zhai Xiaowen, a literary film director. Originally, the overall style was literary, sensational, and touching, just to make the audience cry.

But Su Zhe came to the rescue temporarily and had no time to interact with him. The short film he produced was out of place, which made the China Film Group very embarrassed——

Where should "Ma Liang, the Magic Brush" be placed?
Zhai Xiaowen even suggested:
"Otherwise, don't show it. The four short films are already two hours long. Why bother adding this one?"

Of course Huaying disagreed. The contract had been signed, Su Zhe had finished filming, and the publicity had been done. How could it be deleted?

Zhai Xiaowen was helpless:
"To be fair, this short film was well shot, but where is the right place to put it? The emotions are too fragmented. And with such a serious subject matter, it is not suitable to make a comedy film."

But he couldn't convince anyone even if he said it, so he had to say angrily:

"Then put it at the front."

Hua Ying thought for a while, and since they were relatively separated, they could only be placed first or last. There was no problem with Zhai Xiaowen's arrangement, so he readily agreed.

After Su Zhe heard the feedback, he had no objection at all.

And he finally had time to pay attention to "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword", which had been aired for some time.
