Chapter 149: Why is it summer?
Soon, the assistant put a stack of summer materials in front of Director Wu.
Ten years ago, Summer was involved in a scandal of beating a fellow female celebrity, and although he insisted that he had not beaten anyone, there was no certified physical evidence at the scene, and even his good brother Lin Zhen hinted that he had done such a thing.
Coupled with the fact that many people supported the eighteenth-tier female star, the public chose to believe what the female star said.
And summer fell from the clouds to the mortal dust overnight. Not only are the resources exhausted, but also facing sky-high liquidated damages.
He lost all his possessions and was not enough to fill the huge hole. Fortunately, Yizhen Entertainment's He is always his fan, and he reached out to him at a critical time, paid the remaining liquidated damages for him, and signed him into his subsidiary, which was taken by his agent Fan Min.
In order to pay off his debts as soon as possible, he would participate in any commercial performances that were not popular in the summer at the beginning, and more than once he was recognized by the audience and threw debris and coaxed him on stage.
It wasn't until the past two years that he finally became debt-free and light, and he focused on filming again.
Of course, the main character is impossible. Even the second male and the third male couldn't take his turn. Although it has been a long time since his beating incident and the public may have forgotten about it, no crew dared to take the risk and actually use him.
In the past few years, he has been playing some small supporting roles. But if you pay a little attention, you can find that the small roles he plays are not the same.
Graduated from Huaxia Academy of Performing Arts in the summer, he was born in a serious class, and when he first debuted, he admitted that he loved acting very much, and it was a lucky thing to be able to treat what he liked as a job.
Now, even if he is no longer the popular student sought after by tens of thousands of people, he still has not changed his original intention. Within a limited range of options, strive to continue to play well.
This persistence reminded Xia Xueying of Liu Qingyun in "I Want to Be Famous", who also became famous as a teenager, and even if he was at the bottom of the valley, he still didn't forget to look up at the sky and seriously grasp every opportunity to act. Later, he finally ushered in his second take-off.
Will there be such an opportunity in the summer?
Xia Xueying couldn't help but look at Director Wu, who was full of questions at this time-
The male protagonist of "Reversal" is called Zhang Xiaotian, just like the summer in reality, he was once a popular star, and after being deeply involved in a scandal, he was also abandoned by the audience.
Is it a coincidence, or is it intentional?
Director Wu glanced at Xia Xueying deeply, and knew very well that this was not a girl who disregarded the bottom line for the sake of hype. Until we see how the summer performs, it's not worth digging into.
Therefore, Director Wu did not object, but said: "Tomorrow afternoon, let him try it." ”
……
The agent, Fan Min, received a call from Director Wu's assistant and was taken aback when he heard that he was going to audition for the summer.
Mr. He has always admired the summer, and he once planned to fight for him to be a second male in a star drama, but he was sprayed by investors from all walks of life and almost doubted his life, and finally had to dispel his thoughts.
Due to the face of the company's senior executive, Mr. He, she has always maintained a superficial politeness and respect for the artist who has long been confused, but that's all.
In the summer, when he could only take on a few small supporting roles throughout the year, Fan Min concluded that it was impossible for him to be popular again.
However, Director Wu's film actually came to audition in the summer? No matter how small the supporting role is, it is also a great opportunity!
Fan Min thanked her vigorously and asked about the specific situation of the character, and after receiving a reply, her mouth opened into a big O-shape, and she was speechless in shock.
What?male lead?
After coming back to his senses, Fan Min cautiously asked, "I'm sorry Chen Zhu, did I hear it wrong......?" Let Summer audition for the leading actor?"
Such a reaction was expected by Chen Zhu, and when he first received Director Wu's instructions, he was also confused.
"Hehe, that's right, the audition script will be sent back to you. The audition is coming up tomorrow, and the time is relatively tight, so please hurry up and make arrangements. ”
"Okay, okay, thank you Chen Zhu!" Fan Min responded busily.
Hanging up the phone, she couldn't help jumping up excitedly, and soon found Summer, and her smile was almost enough to scrape off three catties of sugar.
"Brother Tian, a great opportunity......
After reading the synopsis of the story and the page of the audition script, Summer was silent.
His first reaction was to refuse.
The beginning of this story is too much like what he has experienced. He didn't think about it, didn't touch it, thinking that it had already scabbed over and could no longer hurt him.
But the moment I saw the script, the opening was easily torn open, and it was bloody again.
The past that he didn't want to remember swept in like a tsunami, and those real pains and unwillingness swallowed him up again.
Summer put down the script with some trembling, but found that he couldn't say the word "don't act".
He wanted to escape from the past, but after all, he still held back a breath in his heart. He's innocent, he didn't do it!
Why, it was he who hurt in the end? Why, the former good brotherhood slandered him? Why, no one wanted to believe him?
If only everything went as scripted.
Thinking of this, I have a feeling of sudden enlightenment in the summer.
As a drama nerd, sometimes he thinks that drama is like life. The irreparable regrets in life may be achieved in the play?
Summer opened her mouth and said word by word: "I will ...... Be prepared. ”
……
The next day, Fan Min accompanied Summer to an audition.
The moment she saw Xia Xueying, Fan Min chuckled in her heart, remembering that Lu Fengyu, who she didn't want to see, was dug up by Xia Xueying, and now she can gain a foothold in Hollywood.
also remembered that she had instructed Wang Sina to target Xia Xueying, but Xia Xueying didn't say a word, Wang Sina was completely defeated and was hammered out of the entertainment industry.
Fan Min heard that the director of this drama was Xia Xueying, and Director Wu was the producer, so he regretted it even more.
This shows that Director Wu is showing great sincerity to promote Xia Xueying, and if he offends her, it won't affect the summer, right?
In the middle of the war, the summer auditions are complete. The clip he wants to play is the scene when he sees himself being misunderstood and scolded in front of the computer, but he can't say anything.
The clip was personally selected by Director Wu. In just ten seconds, the mood has to change several layers, which is quite a difficult scene.
I have tried many male stars before, but I have not been able to get Director Wu's approval.
The summer performance made Director Wu's eyes light up.
He was surprised, he was sad, he was confused, he gradually became a little desperate, and there was a little hatred...... Layer after layer, layer by layer, natural blending.
At the moment of his performance, he was no longer summer. He is Zhang Xiaotian in "Reversal".
The man in front of him, in his early 30s, maintains a perfect figure, and his face is still handsome, obviously over the years, even if he is abandoned by the world, he has never given up on himself.
After pondering for a moment, Director Wu turned his head sideways and whispered to Xia Xueying to express his doubts in his heart: "Why is it summer?
