Director: Female stars want to improve too much

Chapter 5 Joining the Group (please read and collect)
  "Why is it so difficult?"

"Does that new actor have a good background?"

Director Li put his left hand on the table, tapped a pile of things wrapped in newspapers with his fingers, and asked a little eagerly.

"I don't know where he came from, but Zhang Jizhong likes him very much, and Hu Jun, Huang Jianxin, Yuan Bing and others also think highly of him." Huang Wei walked to the corridor and whispered while holding the phone.

"That's it? That's not difficult."

As long as there is no background, Director Li feels that he can do it again: "I will treat Lao Zhang to a meal in the next two days and have a good chat."

Huang Hua: "..."

At this time.

Two female CCTV hosts, Zhou Tao and Zhu Xun, came towards her. They greeted Huang Hua and entered the hall outside the dressing room.

Xing Baizhou is still practicing swordsmanship with Yuan Bing, Hu Jun is also gesticulating with a plastic sword in his left hand, and Zhang Jizhong is discussing things with his assistant.

As soon as Zhou Tao came in, he saw handsome guy Xing dressed in white, waving a sword and said to Zhu Xun in surprise: "Wow, he is the little boy we just saw, right?"

Zhu Xun's eyes shone, "Yes, yes, he looks good in ancient costume. He can't play Linghu Chong, right?"

"Probably not." Zhou Tao shook his head and continued: "He is too young and should not be able to play such an important role."

"Haha, rare visitor, when did these two beauties come?" Zhang Jizhong saw them and walked over with a smile.

"Let's take a look at that handsome boy."

Following the direction of Zhou Tao's finger, Zhang Jizhong looked over and couldn't help but laugh: "He plays Lin Pingzhi..."

Xing Baizhou was called over.

He chatted with the two beautiful hosts for a few minutes, took a group photo, and then was taken by his assistant to take a makeup photo.

And soon after.

Huang Hua, who finished talking to Director Li, also came back.

She walked to sit down next to Zhang Jizhong and Hu Jun, and sighed: "I don't want to get involved in Director Li's affairs... I personally like Xiao Xing, he is very good."

After making her intentions clear to Director Li, she got up and walked to the dressing room, where there were still a few people who had not finished their work.

Zhang Jizhong and Hu Jun also started chatting.

In the end, with Hu Jun's support, Zhang Jizhong decided to sell Hu Jun's face. As for Director Li... just make a phone call and explain.

"This is CCTV's annual drama, and it is CCTV's first Jin Yong drama. Suitable actors are more important than anything else. If Director Li is capable, he will go to the director..." Zhang Jizhong puffed his beard and called back with a glare.

After making the call, Director Li angrily threw the newspaper package on the ground, walked to the window and cursed Zhang Jizhong.

When Li Jie on the side saw this situation, his restless heart was completely cold. He was very unwilling to lose to an 18-year-old high school student.

But there was nothing he could do.

I could only curse a few words in my heart.

Currently.

Going through the back door is no longer feasible, how to end it...

At this moment, Director Li suddenly turned around and pointed at the things on the ground: "Xiao Li, take the things back."

Li Jiefu reached his heart and suddenly said: "Director Li, what is it? I didn't see it."

take it back?
  Director Li would be even more angry if he took it away.

At that time, it will not be as simple as simply not being able to get the role, but it may also be blocked in graduation works or something.

After Li Jie finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Director Li felt that this guy was too smart, so he shouted, "Wait a minute, I'll find another TV series role for you."

……

That night.

After taking the makeup photos, Xing Baizhou was left behind by Hu Jun and had a meal with the crew and people from CCTV's film purchasing department.

Except for him.

Others almost had to hold on to the wall to walk.

Hu Jun and Zhang Dabeard put their arms around each other and laughed loudly: "Xiao Xing, you are really good at drinking."

Two days later.

The Millennium Spring Festival Gala arrived as scheduled. Xing Baizhou and his parents cooked a New Year's Eve dinner, and the three of them sat in front of the TV and ate while watching.

Although the picture quality of the 21-inch Changhong brand color TV has a sense of age, it still cannot stop his long-awaited curiosity.

In his previous life, he had not seen the Spring Festival Gala for many years, but he was really looking forward to it tonight.

After the opening song and dance.

The first person to appear was Zhang Ziyi, who graduated from the Chinese Theater Academy in 96. She sang a song "Bringing Back the Spring".

But it’s like lip-syncing, which is not interesting.

Last year, she successfully became popular with the movie "My Father and Mother" directed by Zhang Yimou, so she appeared on the stage of the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala.

This makes many people jealous.

You know, she is only 21 years old this year.

And some of her classmates, such as Liu Ye, Qin Hailu, Zeng Li, Hu Jing, Mei Ting, Yuan Quan, etc., have not even taken the role yet.

This gap is not insignificant.

Not long ago, Zhang Jizhong called Zhang Ziyi and offered her 200 million to play Ren Yingying in "The Swordsman".

Zhang Ziyi was very excited. After all, 200 million was a huge sum of money, which could buy a luxury house in the capital.

However, she was scolded by her life mentor Zhang Yimou, who told her not to take on all the roles and just concentrate on being a movie star.

The second program.

It is the sketch "Old Songs and New Songs" that he is most looking forward to. The performers are Feng Gong and Guo Donglin, and they are particularly good at their performances.

Guo Donglin used the Jingdong big board to broadcast the women's football game, while Feng Gong played the sanxian to accompany him. I never tire of it.

after that.

I successively watched Pan Zi and Gong Hanlin's "She at My Desk" and Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan's sketch "Hourly Worker".

The Spring Festival was spent happily in such an atmosphere... On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the senior high school students also returned to school.

Xing Baizhou went to school for half a month. When his classmates found out that he was going to play Lin Pingzhi in "The Swordsman", they were all envious.

Everyone scrambled to take photos.

End of February. Xing Baizhou asked for leave from his class teacher, packed the luggage his parents had prepared for him, and boarded the train to Wuxi.

In another month, "The Swordsman" will start shooting in Wuxi Film and Television City, and most of the crew members are currently finalized.

But something went wrong with the protagonist Linghu Chong.

a few days ago.

After watching a video of Hu Jun playing sword, Zhang Jizhong discovered that he was using his left hand, which resulted in his movements not being elegant enough.

and.

The sword techniques designed by Wuzhi Yuanbing are all right-handed swords.

Hu Jun can't play tricks at all.

So Big Beard could only bear the pain and tell Hu Jun about the incident. Even if Hu Jun wanted to act, he could only give up. Before leaving, he mentioned Xing Baizhou to Zhang Jizhong and asked him to take more care of him.

Those actors who have been confirmed must join the cast in advance, and important supporting roles must even be assigned a month in advance to practice martial arts and memorize lines with martial arts instructors and line teachers.

Time flies and March 3th arrives. Except for the actor who plays Linghu Chong, everyone else has already been on set for a week.

this day.

Zhang Jizhong came with someone.

This person is Shao Bin.

Last year, he won the 5th Huabiao Film Award for Best Actor for his movie "Spring Rhapsody", which is regarded as the biggest star in the crew.

Even the previous Hu Jun couldn't compare to him.

It can also be seen from Shao Bin's expression and body movements that he is very confident. Simply put, he feels that he is awesome and the boss in the crew.

Xing Baizhou looked at him from a distance and couldn't help but compare him with Li Yapeng. He felt that the one named Shao was more suitable.

If this person had really been cast, perhaps "The Swordsman" would not have attracted so much criticism after it was aired.

Right now, in the hotel.

Zhang Jizhong pulled Shao Bin and said with a hearty smile: "This is Linghu Chong, Best Actor at the Huabiao Award. I believe everyone knows him, so I won't introduce him in detail."

After saying that, many people applauded.

A group of little shrimps applauded, but Shao Bin didn't even look at them... He just nodded to Xu Qing and sat there playing the snake game.

Zhang Jizhong looked a little embarrassed.

Shao Bin?

Xing Baizhou heard in his previous life that he was replaced by Zhang Jizhong when he was playing a big role on the set. I guess this matter was not groundless.

This man is so cold and aloof.

After these days.

Xing Baizhou, Xu Qing, Wei Zi and others practiced martial arts in the morning, went to the racecourse to practice horse riding in the afternoon, and practiced lines in the evening.

Shao Bin went his own way, didn't participate in the script reading, practiced martial arts to cope with the situation, but wanted the best treatment, which made Zhang Dabeard almost to death.

time flies.

In three days, it will be the day for the crew to start filming. Currently, the landscaping team, props team, costume team, etc. are all ready and waiting to be started.

The actors are still doing their final exercises.

Today, Yuan Bing taught him a cool "sword holding flower" movement, and Xing Baizhou mastered it in less than half an hour of practice.

Yuan Bing was shocked: "Young boy is really a martial arts genius. Do you know how long I spent practicing this? Three whole days."

Xu Qing, who was not far away, saw this scene, pulled Xing Baizhou and said with a smile: "Brother, teach me, I want to learn too."

Yuan Bing shrugged: "You guys play, I'm leaving."

Half an hour later, Xing Baizhou found himself playing the piano to the donkey... Xu Qing couldn't get even a single flower out of her.

The two had to abandon the project.

Turned to horseback riding.

It's a pity that two people can't ride one horse.

It's not that Xing Baizhou doesn't want to, but the people at the racecourse don't let the two ride together...could it bend the horse's back?
  On the grass, I saw Shao Bin alone in the distance, riding a horse and galloping there. Not to mention, he looked quite handsome.

But for some reason, Shao Bin's movements slowed down as he ran, and later he simply jumped off the horse and took the car back.

Xu Qing tilted her head and let out a light laugh: "Why did he leave when he saw us?"

"Perhaps, seeing the two of us riding horses together made him feel uncomfortable!?" This is the most likely possibility.

"Ah?! We are just brother and sister." Xu Qing explained halfway, then she suddenly realized, "Even if I am like you, why is he uncomfortable? I don't like him."

"Hahaha, maybe he likes you. After all, Sister Qing is a rare beauty in the entertainment industry."

"Tch, you're a young guy, but you're quite eloquent." She giggled, "It's impossible, he has a girlfriend."

"..."

The two chatted while riding.

It wasn't until the crew finished work that they followed the car back for dinner. On the way, Xing Baizhou listened to Xu Qing talk about various gossips in the Beijing circle, which he found quite interesting.

She has a strong background as a "Princess of the Beijing Circle"... at least for the current Xing Baizhou, so it is right to walk around with her more.

The next day.

Zhang Jizhong, who had been back in Beijing for four or five days, returned to the crew.

The assistant knocked on the door one by one and called everyone to come out for the meeting: "Producer Zhang is back and calls everyone to the meeting. We will gather in the conference room on the third floor in ten minutes."

Before I finished smoking a cigarette, many people came to the conference room one after another, and soon it was almost full.

"The filming will start soon. I hope everyone can get into the mood as soon as possible. You all know that this is the first Jin Yong drama filmed by CCTV. Once it succeeds, it will be a big fortune for you."

If you want to say who has benefited the most after the release of "The Swordsman"... it must be Shao Bin who plays Linghu Chong.

This drama, which was produced with an investment of 4000 million, is definitely not bad. As long as Shao Bin can continue to act steadily, it will definitely become popular.

But he did it himself...

In the years that followed, he almost disappeared from the industry, and he must have regretted it.

……

As soon as the meeting is over.

Xing Baizhou took the two women, Xu Qing and Miao Yiyi, and drove Santana to the Taihu Lake to play.
