Chapter Fifty-Eight: Hong Tao's Dinner
Dormitory building of Kongwen Art Center
Zhou Binbin held a case of beer and opened the door of Hong Tao's house with a big grin, only to see Hong Tao's son who was in junior high school at home alone.
"Eldest nephew, what about your father, why is there no one in his bureau. ”
"My dad and Uncle Gao went grocery shopping and will be back in a while. ”
Hong Tao's son was very familiar with Zhou Binbin, called out to uncle, welcomed people in, closed the door, and ran to the sofa to play games with his mobile phone.
Zhou Binbin didn't treat himself as an outsider, put the beer next to the table, and watched TV on the sofa with his buttocks.
After a while, two more people called the door, both of whom were actors with empty texts, Lin Yongjian and Hu Jie, each carrying a bag of cooked food, Zhou Binbin sniffled and was happy.
"The sauce pig's trotters from my own family at the east gate, Lao Hu, you are quite good at eating. ”
Hu Jie put the cooked food on the table, then sat next to Zhou Binbin, and said with a smile: "You kid is usually quite ink, why did you arrive first today, unlike your personality." ”
Lin Yongjian was a little eyed, and when he heard this, he smiled beside him and said: "You don't want Lao Zhou to be in a situation now, he has a wife after a family, so he has to work hard to make money for his daughter-in-law." ”
"Don't put this on me, the boss doesn't talk about the second, I don't believe that the two of you are really running Lao Hong today to drink, don't you all want to participate in "The Story of the Cooking Class". ”
Zhou Binbin was straightforward and straightforward, and directly clarified the purpose of today's gathering.
"The Story of the Cooking Class" has agreed to select the main actors within Kongwen, Hong Tao is the deputy captain of Kongwen's performance team, not to mention how much power he has in this matter, at least he can listen to some rumors.
So today, Hong Tao specially formed a bureau and called a few good buddies with good relationships, and the brothers discussed and discussed to see if they could find a way to win a few roles.
If you become popular or not, there is a salary for filming TV series, which is a big temptation for many of them who are still getting dead wages.
Zhou Binbin's showdown, Lin Yongjian smiled and didn't speak, obviously he was planning to do this, but Hu Jie retorted loudly.
"You guys are talking about it, don't take me with you, I really don't have this mind, there are two dramas waiting outside, and there is no schedule at all. ”
Hu Jie is handsome and handsome, and he made a criminal investigation drama a few years ago and became popular, and he can be regarded as a relatively good actor.
"Yes, you are a big star, we can't compare with you, you play for a while, we will discuss with Lao Hong. ”
Zhou Binbin and Hu Jie have a very good relationship, the two are fellow countrymen and classmates, Zhou Jin Kongwen is operated with Hu's help, Zhou Binbin, who just came to the capital, has no house to live in, and has lived in Hu Jie's house for several years, the two are absolute friends, and they talk to each other very casually.
Just when Hu Zhou was fighting, Hong Tao and Gao Xinjian, who had gone out to buy vegetables before, came back.
The dish was bought at the restaurant, and when the two came back, everyone helped put the dishes and cooked food on the plate, and the beer was opened, and the wine game was started.
............
Hong Tao's son sat at the end, gnawing on the pig's trotters with an oily face, and a few old men drank a round before they got down to business.
Hong Tao is a fat man, his face is round like a fat officer, he takes off his military uniform, but the clothes on his body are very fashionable, he put a chopstick cold dish into his mouth, and took the lead in opening his mouth.
"I inquired with Lao Chen, and now that the outline of the script has been completed, a few of them are filling in the plot of the episode according to the outline, and it is estimated that it will be almost over in the middle and late stages. ”
"So fast, didn't you say that there were forty or fifty episodes, how long has it been now, and you've finished the details?"
Although all the actors here are actors, they also know a little about writing scripts, and when they heard that Zuo Le's progress was so fast, Lin Yongjian raised questions.
"The number of episodes has been set, forty-five episodes. ”
Hong Tao obviously inquired a lot about the inside story, corrected Lin Yongjian, and revealed.
"That left... Director, people had the idea of filming this drama before, and before cooperating with our group, the script setting and outline were almost written, and now with the help of Lao Chen and Qianwu, the progress is naturally progressing day by day. ”
Zhou Binbin was anxious, and he couldn't bear Hong Tao's refusal to get to the point, so he took the initiative to intercept the conversation: "Lao Hong, don't care if the script is written quickly or not, it has nothing to do with us."
I just want to know how many main characters there are in this "The Story of the Cooking Class" this time, and if we can take it down. ”
"I'll tell you the truth, it's very promising!"
Hong Tao looked at the eager Zhou Binbin, smiled mysteriously, and lowered his voice slightly: "I asked Lao Chen, there are many starring roles this time, the most important thing is the six cooking soldiers, and the rest are the clerk, company commander, instructor, secretary general, and a squad leader who works opposite the cooking class."
By the way, there is also a head nurse and two medics, but this is a female character, and it has nothing to do with us. ”
"Don't be too big, didn't Nier say before that she wanted to act, this head nurse is suitable for her when she hears it. Zhou Binbin said busily.
If the relationship between Hu Jie and Zhou Binbin in the entire group of Kongwen is the best, then Yan Ni can definitely rank second.
The two of them entered the group before and after, starting from running tricks, and became the main backbone actors in the group step by step, the two have worked together for nearly ten years, and have acted together countless times in the play.
Even now, Yan Ni and Zhou Binbin have officially worshiped their godfathers and are commensurate with brother and sister, but their respective partners have no trouble about this.
It's quite rare for friends of the opposite sex to get along with them like this.
Hong Tao knew the relationship between the two brothers, and he didn't get angry, but said honestly: "It's not that I poured cold water on you, I heard that this role has been decided in the group, let Niu Ping play, those two medical soldiers, Nier is not the right age, so ........."
He didn't finish the rest of the words, but everyone understood, Zhou Binbin drank half a glass of beer in his hand, and said with a smile.
"It's nothing, it's all common, Lao Hong, you go on. ”
"Okay, then I'll go on. ”
Hong Tao patted Zhou Binbin's arm comfortingly, and then continued: "Six cooking soldiers, two squad leaders and deputy squad leaders, and the remaining one purchaser, one white case, and two recruits.
Don't think about it, recruits, it's none of our business, I won't hide it from you, I talked to Director Zuo, I played the squad leader, and the deputy squad leader is also eight or nine.
Now the names of the characters in the script are all our surnames, the squad leader Pang Hong, and the deputy squad leader Gao.
Bai Case had approached Hu Jie before and wanted him to act, but he had a scene outside and pushed it, but looking at Director Zuo's meaning, he wanted to find a handsome guy for this role, and Yong Jian and Bin Bin were not suitable.
Then there is only the purchaser left, there are no specific requirements for this, it is said that the script is set as an outsider, and it is a straightforward and funny character, I think Bin Bin you can try it, it is quite in line with your acting path.
Yongjian, don't be discouraged, six cooks can't play, there are other roles, I suggest you try that company commander or secretary general, with your level, I don't think it's a big problem to impress Zuo Dao.
Don't worry, we have been brothers for many years, but if I can talk and help in it, I will definitely do it for the two of you.
That's it, I heard that in a few days, Director Zuo will start to select actors in the troupe, and then I will take the two of you over to meet him, whether it is successful or not, let's brush our faces first. ”
Hong Tao's words were very heart-wrenching, Zhou Binbin and Lin Yongjian were very moved, and the two of them toasted him together.
"Lao Hong, don't say anything, it's all in the wine. ”
When the three of them clinked glasses, Hong Tao's son also finished eating, wiped his mouth, regardless of the adults who were still drinking, he ran back to the TV, turned on the TV and tuned to Dongshan Satellite TV.
“......... In the new year, the devil entered the Central Plains, first opened the Lugou Bridge, and then opened the Shanhaiguan.........
The familiar opening song sounded, and Hong Tao's son shouted at the table.
"Dad, "Traffic Station No. 2" has begun. ”
The action of several people drinking at the dinner table paused, and Hong Tao slapped his head: "I almost forgot, today "No. 2 Traffic Station" premiered, let's go, let's see how Director Zuo's scene is." ”
As soon as the words fell, several people stopped drinking and got up and gathered in front of the TV series.
It didn't take long for Captain Jia, who was popular all over the country at the beginning of the year, to appear in the play for the first time, and two or three sentences and one expression made everyone laugh, and when the laughter was over, Zhou Binbin suddenly felt a little emotional.
"I've been an actor for more than ten years, and I've never been famous, if I am lucky enough to play such a role that people will always remember, my life will not be in vain. ”
Hu Jie climbed on the shoulders of his good brother, and his tone was with a hint of firmness: "There will be a day, I believe that you Zhou Binbin will have that day!"
