This director needs to apologize

Chapter 313: Is being cheated considered an ups and downs?
Declining the invitation to go for a walk by the river "again", Chen Yiming said goodbye to the two of them and went home on his own.

Pan Yueming watched Chen Yiming turn the corner, paused for a moment, then turned to Liao Shan, who looked sad, and said, "Unfortunately, my acting skills are still not good enough. I probably can't fool Director Chen."

Liao Shan nodded habitually in agreement.

It's no wonder she was there. When Pan Yueming and Chen Yiming were "attending Zen and discussing Taoism" just now, she had been in such a state of confusion that she could do nothing but nod.

It took her a while to react, and she jumped up in shock and shouted, "Didn't you fool me? It won't have the opposite effect, right? Wait, you said that the wooden look you just had was all an act? Is it fake?"

Pan Yueming stood up, stretched and walked out along the garden path.

"It's great, I haven't acted so carefully in several years.

Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with memorizing words occasionally. At least I have grown up in character and accumulated more experience. If I were asked to play the down-and-out young man now, I would probably win an award.

Not for a walk? let's go! "

Liao Shan quickly stood up and followed, muttering as she walked, "Tell me in detail what happened just now. I'm still confused here."

Pan Yueming chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, go out and make money.

Liao Shan curled her lips and said, "Yes, I have said this countless times, but when have you heard it?"

It's obviously a bad thing, but now I can use it in a good direction. No wonder the ancestors said that misfortune depends on blessings. "

She comforted her with gentle words, "Look at someone as low-key as Director Chen, he knows that you are the one who is really hurt. Doesn't this mean that justice is in people's hearts?"

If I die drunk in the house every day, there will be no chance of meeting Director Chen. Living in the same building until death will be in vain. "

So I thought, I need to amplify my inner surprise appropriately.

Pan Yueming swiped the card to open the door again, and the two walked out of the community, followed the sidewalk along the road and turned westward, heading straight to the river.

Didn't you always teach me that I should have a positive attitude when meeting people outside, and seize opportunities without hesitation? "

But Director Chen obviously recognized me and was very kind to me, which gave me a chance to climb the pole.

Liao Shan pretended not to care and pushed him, "Don't say such things, don't mention death. It's more serious if you go out and make money. I'm still waiting to be taken away by you, the future actor Pan!"

Then I will pretend to be pitiful and let both of us gain positive emotional value, a win-win situation!

You too, how can you help the director make the decision? You are not afraid of making Director Chen angry?
This meeting is not a formal audition, so the way you express your determination may not be flattering. "

At first, I was a little shocked. The director of the project I was applying for was living upstairs and downstairs. It seemed like an arrangement with ulterior motives.

Pan Yueming smiled and said, "I'm just going with the flow. This time I'm really more positive than ever. Look, I've fooled you."

Pan Yueming turned to Liao Shan, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. You're still here, scold me first, and then help me find Director Chen's project.

My parents and I have three pensions, your hard-earned money, and my daughter’s milk powder money. Time waits for no one!
Let’s start with “The Thirteenth Floor”! "

Liao Shan felt a little distressed. Although she had been looking forward to the man in front of her standing up again, she didn't want it to be like this.

Pan Yueming stopped smiling and shook his head, "It's not a sign of determination. It's because if you lose in Tai Chi, you have no choice but to play straight without any cover.

Liao Shan also echoed excitedly, "I think the hope is great. I can't tell if it's a lie or not, but I saw Director Chen was in a good mood when he left. I originally thought it was a bit overstepping for you to directly ask the protagonist.

Director Chen and I are strangers to each other and have never crossed paths before, so his kindness towards me can only stem from my own mess.

"Actually, it can't be said to be deceiving. It's said with a bit of feeling and a bit of push, so it can be regarded as half-truth and half-false.

The amount of ink I had in my stomach was indeed no match for that of a professional playwright. This time I was still playing at home, and I became timid after a few rounds. "

Seeing that Liao Shan didn't understand at all, Pan Yueming explained, "I didn't speak a word when we first met, because I was holding my breath and trying to get the upper hand.

Then the problem of seeing clearly brought my own situation together with that of the protagonist of "The Thirteenth Floor".

It is indeed a bit despicable to take advantage of other people's sympathy, but the effect is indeed very good. Director Chen's answer has revealed the core motivation of the protagonist, and in order to take care of my mood, he also specially said one more sentence to highlight the theme of the movie, indicating to him that It's a movie, it has nothing to do with me.

If this is a test, it is equivalent to the teacher not only drawing the key points for me, but also leaving test questions.

Successfully cheating is truly a refreshing experience! "

Liao Shan didn't know what to say. As an agent in the entertainment industry, she was already familiar with all kinds of people's words and nonsense. As long as she could achieve something, not to mention using sympathy, she could also use more despicable and shameless tricks without any pressure.

We are all foxes of thousands of years, who can you chat with?
But when she saw what Lao Pan really decided to abandon for what reason, she felt regret and desolation from the bottom of her heart. If she had a choice, she would prefer that none of those bad things had happened, even if she continued to hate iron. They scolded him for his stupid head. The two of them walked silently, turning from the sidewalk onto the riverside footpath, heading south along the Pujiang River.

After a long time, Liao Shan turned around and asked, "Then why did you stop talking after asking one question? We obviously had a good conversation before, right?
You don’t know, I was embarrassed and embarrassed at the time, neither could I speak, nor could I just stand there dumbly. "

Pan Yueming smiled bitterly and said, "I was too greedy. I wanted to find out more by making some insinuations. However, Director Chen's Tai Chi pushed me to the point where he was able to get rid of me cleanly and arouse the other party's resentment."

Liao Shan immediately became nervous when she heard this, "Director Chen is angry? I didn't see it!"

Pan Yueming explained, "My guess is that even if you are not disgusted, you are at least alert.

It was self-defeating. If we had not gone too far, but changed the topic and led the atmosphere to a chat between neighbors, it would have been a perfect first meeting.

It's a pity that the topic got stuck on business matters for me, so I can only stop here. Business matters are business matters. After that, it's time to shake hands and say goodbye. "

Liao Shan said "Oh", "No wonder after you were bored for a long time, you came up with an attitude of "see you later."

Pan Yueming nodded, "Yes, I made my final intention clear and was willing to owe the other party a favor. Unfortunately, he didn't intend to accept it and just blocked it.

The subtext of being included in the list of special acknowledgments is that there are people who come and go on official business, but they have nothing to do with each other in private. "

Only then did Liao Shan suddenly realize that during the process of her confusion, the two grown men had had such a confrontation with each other, and it was completely different from the fight in the circle that she was familiar with.

In short, my own Lao Pan took advantage first and then suffered losses. He lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds.

Compared with establishing a personal relationship with the teacher who wrote the test, knowing the content of a test is really not a big deal.

However, she is an innate optimist and always looks for the good when things happen, so she comforted her by saying, "Lao Pan, don't worry, these are all your own imagination. Maybe Director Chen doesn't think so at all.

Besides, we learned a lot today, didn’t we?
I met top director Chen Yiming, and he even exchanged mobile phone numbers with me.

Hehe, I also have Director Chen’s private number. Do you know how many agents will be envious and jealous of me?

Director Chen also clarified the question for you. If we were only ahead of 80% of the competitors before, now the coefficient is 99%. Even if it is not % sure, it is still close to %, right? "

Pan Yueming was still "ruminating" the brief conversation just now, trying to analyze Chen Yiming's attitude and tendencies. Only after hearing Liao Shan's "comfort" did he realize that he was too worried about gains and losses.

Looking at Liao Shan's smile, Pan Yueming felt that he had overlooked today's more precious harvest.

Looking at the Pujiang River covered with bright lights, Pan Yueming felt a little surprised.

And this kind of scenery, which he could easily get by opening the curtains every night, now seems like it has been out of date for years.

In fact, Pan Yueming had half of it figured out. If Chen Yiming had known that his gratitude to Pan Yueming had been misinterpreted as a "pay-for-pay" deal, he would have inevitably shouted, "My heart goes to Mingyue."

Chen Yiming was revising the script in his study at this time. His exchange with Pan Yueming made him realize some "Zen wisdom", and he wanted to incorporate it into the script while he was still enthusiastic.

When he was busy until about 9 o'clock, and his inspiration was almost exhausted, he closed his notebook, made a pot of tea and sat in the balcony window to admire the moon.

I couldn't help but think back to this chance encounter in the afternoon, it was indeed quite a coincidence.

I had only met him on TV a few days ago, and then I saw him alive in his own community.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has hundreds of famous actors. The reason why Chen Yiming was impressed by Pan Yueming was because of his age.

Being able to play a high-ranking young emperor surrounded by a bunch of veteran actors is not as simple as acting in character.

Chen Yiming is not just interested in Pan Yueming, he also pays attention to the actors who actually played according to the age of the characters in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Calculating their ages, they are now in the golden stage of their thirties, making them a good choice for Bo Jue to cooperate with.

It's just that times have changed, and the young actors who participated in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at that time had their own circumstances. Pan Yueming was one of them who got along quite well, if there were no unexpected changes in his life.

Of course, Pan Yueming is well aware of Chen Yiming, the one he "covets" in "The Thirteenth Floor". Maybe the other party has played tricks to improve his acting skills, but that's nothing. When a child wants something, he cries and makes a fuss. Yes.

Actors rely on their acting skills to win roles, and Chen Yiming quite appreciates it. That's called not forgetting your original intention!

What he was thinking about now was whether the other party was suitable for the male lead in "The Thirteenth Floor".

According to Chen Yiming's original vision, the male protagonist of the story is a man who has experienced ups and downs. Whether the correspondence and layering of plot twists and character performance can be clearly and accurately conveyed to the audience is the key to the success or failure of the film.

As before, Chen Yiming is a pure Party A at the performance level, only making demands and not knowing how to achieve them.

Therefore, according to his conjecture, this role may be more suitable for an actor who has experienced ups and downs himself. Only those who have personally experienced the disillusionment of all hope can vividly present the glimmer of hope in the bottomless abyss.

Chen Yiming thought unkindly, does being cheated on count as an ups and downs?
