After chatting for a while, Dong Wenbin shifted the topic to Du Caige's "Old Boy", which was about to start filming.

He was particularly interested in the film and asked a lot of questions about the plot, about the actors.

"Hey, this story tells our own story, if it was played by ourselves, how good would it be?" Dong Wenbin looked down at his stomach with some melancholy, "Forget it, I don't want to ruin my image." Let's let the image of that handsome, chubby red-haired boy continue to stay in the minds of those fans back then. ”

"We wear masks every time we perform, how do you think fans can see how handsome you are?" Du Caige couldn't help but complain.

Dong Wenbin said with a smile: "Well, people's imagination is actually very large. I think, most fans, listen to my voice, and then look at my temperament and figure, you can make up my handsomeness. ”

"Don't worry, we are brothers, and I will definitely not treat you badly. I will find a handsome guy to play you when you are young, and then, find Gong Liurong to play the middle-aged you. ”

Dong Wenbin opened his mouth, closed it again, and scolded softly after a while: ", it's better for me to perform in my true colors, how can I be so fat." ”

Actor Gong Liurong was also a handsome guy when he was young, but later he suffered from a rare metabolic disease, and the person swelled rapidly like leavened dough.

It's probably about the same size as Sammo Hung in "Slaying the Wolf".

Compared with Dong Wenbin, it is still a little worse.

Although Du Caige joked before that Dong Wenbin had 255 pounds, this is an exaggeration.

Du Caige visually measured that Dong Wenbin's actual weight was about 190-195 pounds, and his height was 174 cm, so he looked hugely fat.

Sammo Hung's height is about the same as him, but his weight is more than 220 pounds.

Du Caige said with a smile: "Actually, I have also considered it before, we will play ourselves and perform in our true colors." But ......"

"But you're not worried about Yuko's acting skills, are you?"

"That's not it, as an excellent director, I am absolutely sure that he will shoot something that satisfies me," Du Caige shook his head, "The key is you, our relationship must be kept secret for the time being, and Shen Jinsong cannot be let know." You came to make my movie, didn't you make a confession?"

Dong Wenbin sighed with a long sigh: "It's a pity, I still want to win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor." ”

......

The next day, Dong Wenbin returned to the country of stars and stripes.

But he said he would be back in a while.

For the next half a year, he will frequently go back and forth between the two places, as a trapeze artist.

Therefore, Zou Guoyong and Du Caige did not send him.

However, after he returned to the Stars and Stripes, he called Du Caige and told him that Peng Sizhang had rushed to the magic capital that day, met him at the airport, and had a cup of quick coffee.

"I told him, you are going to shoot our story, and then let Duan Xiaochen take his role. He's angry, haha!" Dong Wenbin gloated, "Be careful that he comes to trouble you." ”

"I really don't want to bully him anymore, but if he comes to the door, I can only reluctantly bully him again. ”

"The singer is naturally a head short in front of the songwriter. He held his breath and kept wanting to write excellent songs by himself and save a little dignity in front of you. It's a pity that this guy doesn't have enough talent, what kind of barren thing he wrote. ”

Du Caige didn't want to be cheap and sold well, after all, his songs were all ported. If you say something more perverse, it will become a matter of standing again.

So he changed the subject: "What did you find when you went back? about Kyriad." ”

"Wait, wait, I've found something interesting now, but I'll tell you when I have more clues. By the way, I have submitted a report to the company's top management, saying that Dream Mutual Entertainment is a promising company with the best singers and songwriters and the most potential directors in Dahua, and it is possible to be among the top eight in Dahua in the future. The next time I go back to Dahuaguo, I will come to inspect you with a mission. ”

"Inspect us?"

"Yes, to examine your qualifications as a partner. ”

Du Caige said: "Imagine the scene where I compare my middle finger to you. ”

"Haha!"

......

Before you know it, it's the last day of October.

"I found a very interesting thing on the Internet at noon, in the top 30 hot searches on Weibo today, 5 of them are related to me. Du Caige said this in a joking tone.

Assistant director Liu Zifei gave him a blank look: "Can you be a little self-aware? In recent months, there has been a day when the hot search on Weibo has nothing to do with you at all?"

Du Caige opened his mouth, and was about to use his camera memory to find out a few days to refute, but after carefully going through his head, he found that he had nothing to say.

Because really, in recent times, there has been at least one hot search related to him every day.

For example, "President Yan is suspected of having a child out of wedlock". Although it's Yan Yingzhen, it's also related to him.

For example, "Queen Su scolded when recording the show", and he was naturally scolded. Although this is a rumor, it is also a rumor related to him.

Also, ""The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" broke the box office record of this year's online movie".

So Du Caige could only shake his head and laugh, "Unconsciously, I have become a traffic star." ”

"Traffic? Yes. Celebrities? Not necessarily. Liu Zifei smiled.

Du Caige took a long breath: "Your kung fu is amazing now." ”

"There's no way, I run in various crews every day, if I don't learn to complain, those rough men will eat me alive," Liu Zifei touched her short hair, a little stunned, "Hey, think about the old lady who used to be as beautiful as a flower, gentle and virtuous, but now she has become an aunt with explosive combat effectiveness." ”

Du Caige laughed. "It's a step forward, if you want me to say. To be a director, you need such combat power. On the set, who are you gentle and graceful? You still have to rely on shouting loudly and sharply. ”

"You're right. ”

After a few words of conversation, the two closed their mouths and waited quietly.

Du Caige's thoughts drifted a little.

Of the top 30 hot searches today, 5 of them are related to him, so he laughed at himself and said that he "unknowingly became a traffic star".

"The original soundtrack of "Those Years" is on pre-sale. ”

"Hero" is the first on the hit song chart. ”

"'Music New Power' has officially announced that Hemingway will return. ”

"The founding Chinese website officially launched the million-dollar prize essay collection. ”

"The 2008 Poplar Literary Award is nearing completion. ”

Above.

Opps, no, it should be 6.

I almost forgot, there is another one, ""Rogue Kenshin" is about to be filmed. ”

At first glance, Rogue Kenshin and Hemingway have nothing to do with each other.

But...... In Azure Star, the manga "Rogue Kenshin" was created by Lin Keke's creativity, character setting and story synopsis, and manga artist Luo Nan.

Therefore, the copyright of "Rogue Kenshin" is jointly owned by Lin Ke and Luo Nan.

And Lin Ke ...... Needless to say.

So this hot search is also related to him, nothing wrong.

At this moment, there was a regular knock on the door.

The staff standing by the door immediately opened the door, and a mature and handsome middle-aged man walked in with a smile on his face, raised his hand to greet Du Caige and Liu Zifei: "Director Du, Director Liu, long time no see!"

Liu Zifei immediately stood up and saluted: "Hello Teacher Yang, you still call me Xiao Liu! You look good, it seems that Mrs. has taken good care of you recently." ”

Du Caige didn't dare to hold it up, so he stood up and responded: "Teacher Yang." Thank you so much for coming over and hope I can have the pleasure of working with you again. ”

"Where, where," Ouyang Liyan, a professor in the Shadow Performance Department, smiled heartily and approached the two, "I hope I have the honor to cooperate with Director Du." When we first filmed "Deep in a Hundred Flowers", I knew that you were a very talented young director. ”

"But this time I realized that I still underestimated you. I watched "Those Years" with some teachers at school the other day, and we were really amazed. ”

"Among the younger generation of directors under the age of 40, there are only three or five people of your level. The day you invited me to work on the sequel to "Those Years," I was so excited that I almost didn't sleep all night. ”

How well this professor teaches, Du Caige doesn't know.

But what is certain is that he is really good at being a man and very good at talking.

Du Caige prides himself on being a mature man with high emotional intelligence and a good understanding of social etiquette, so he naturally wants to return the favor and blow to Professor Ouyang Liyan about business.

They blew each other for about ten minutes, until Liu Zifei coughed lightly: "Otherwise, let's start the audition, there are still people waiting behind." ”

"Yes, yes, it's time to start," Du Caige said, "Teacher Yang, you should be ready, right?"

Ouyang Liyan said: "I have been preparing for several days. As for whether I'm ready or not, I don't dare to say big things, but I will definitely show my best state, please guide Du to correct. ”

"This is called an artist, he can recruit and fight, and he is much stronger than some of the current traffic stars. Du Caige praised. From this time on, they ended the commercial blowing and began to enter a new role state - director and actor.

"By the way, who are my competitors?" asked Ouyang Liyan.

"There are no competitors, and we are not casting a wide net for today's auditions," Liu Zifei explained, "For each role, we only sent out audition invitations to the one or two actors who are more optimistic." There are also some roles that are not optimistic about candidates for the time being, and we will organize another audition. Mr. Yang, we only invited you for this role. ”

Ouyang Liyan smiled and said, "Then I'm relieved." I still don't have a lot of experience in big screen acting, and I don't have much confidence if I have to face competition. ”

Du Caige gave him a reassurance: "Teacher Yang, we just think you are more suitable for this role, and we believe that you can play it well, so we only invited you alone." Just relax a little bit and think of it as an acting lesson!"

Ouyang Liyan nodded with a smile.

"Then, Mr. Yang, the role you auditioned for is the middle-aged Lin He, that is, the protagonist of this film. I sent you a snippet of the script, how about you pick one of them to perform?"

"Yes. ”

Ouyang Liyan nodded to Liu Zifei, walked a few steps, and stood in front of the camera.

"I'll play the part where Lin Ha goes to Yongzi to prepare to reorganize the band. ”

"No problem. Xiao Liu, you go to play for Teacher Yang, and you are familiar with the script. ”

Liu Zifei bypassed the desk and came to Ouyang Liyan.

The two stood quietly, waiting for Du Caige's instructions.

Du Caige said: "Let's go." ”

Ouyang Liyan immediately changed his expression and walked around.

The way he walks around, a little cautious, is exactly the most common form of middle-aged people who live in the middle and lower classes.

Then he stood still, as if he were standing in front of a store, and looked in.

After hesitating for a while, he walked in and tentatively spoke: "Yongzi?"

Liu Zifei looked up at him, revealing a look of surprise: "Lin He! It's really you! Over the years, you haven't changed much!"

......

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Yang, for a very wonderful performance. Du Caige motioned to the staff to turn off the camera.

Ouyang Liyan glanced at Liu Zifei quickly, then fell on Du Caige, and smiled: "Director Du, I heard Director Liu say ...... before."

"Teacher Yang, you can just call me Xiao Liu. ”

Ouyang Liyan paused with a smile before continuing: "She said, the role of middle-aged Lin He, you originally planned to perform it yourself. Even a few people from the original 'Ghost Face Band', you plan to let the band members perform in their true colors, don't you? ”

"No, there is no such thing as a 'Ghostface Band' in this world. Du Caige denied it.

"Director Du," Ouyang Liyan said with a smile, "I've lived in the Demon Capital for decades, do you think I'll never hear of the Ghost Face Band?"

Du Caige nodded reluctantly: "Okay, I'm sorry, I had this plan before." But for some inconvenient reasons, I had to give up the idea and adjust the script. ”

Ouyang Liyan raised his eyebrows: "Can you tell me, what were your original plans?"

After being silent for a long time, Du Caige said, "I had an idea before. At the end of the movie, after the band is reorganized, they are about to go to a concert. At this time, the movie ends, and at the same time the screen is given how to buy tickets for the concert, where it will be held, etc. ”

"Then, in reality, I actually go to a concert and record the concert. ”

"Finally, there will be a director's cut version of "Those Years" + "Old Boy", cut the two micro-films together, and put the editing scene of the concert into it. ”

"The audience of the concert has also become a group performance in the movie. ”

"But for some reason, I'm not going to do it now. ”

Ouyang Liyan was amazed: "It's really a genius idea, and it can be realized." Duan Xiaochen, as the lead singer of the band, has unparalleled appeal, and the tickets for this concert will definitely be snatched up. ”

"I really want to see you shoot like that. ”

Du Caige shrugged: "I want to too, but it's a little inconvenient." ”

"It's a pity," Ouyang Liyan said, "Actually, although I want to try it as the protagonist, I want to see you make this movie in that novel way." I'm going to buy a concert ticket to support it. ”

Du Caige smiled: "There is no way, the world cannot be as expected." Mr. Yang, thank you again for taking the time to audition, and I will call you to inform you of the results. ”

"I want you to tell me that you've decided to take the role yourself. ”

"Haha!"

After Ouyang Liyan left, Du Caige went to take a closer look at the footage he had just recorded.

After a while, Liu Zifei asked: "What do you think, are you satisfied with his performance?" ”

Du Caige nodded and shook his head again.

"I don't understand what that means. ”

"I wouldn't question his acting ability. But ......"

Du Caige thought for a while and continued, "But I feel that there is still a big difference between him and the image of Lin He in my mind. ”

"You mean, it's very different from your image. ”

"No, Lin River is Lin River, I am me. I'm not Lin Ke, I'm Hemingway. Du Caige said something she didn't understand.
