Chapter 48: Border Storms

"Sister Dan, what kind of drama are you looking for?" asked Su Mu curiously.

Wang Dan leaned back in the chair, breathed a long sigh of relief, and responded: "First of all, our company is going to open an idol drama, and the heroine Chen Qiaoyin is preliminarily selected. How about you being the first male?"

"Ah...... Still acting in idol dramas?" Su Mu grimaced.

It's not that he is floating and can't look down on idol dramas, but if he keeps acting in idol dramas, the improvement of his acting skills is limited, and it is easy to leave sequelae and leave a solidified image in the hearts of the audience.

And once the image is stereotyped in the minds of the audience, it is difficult to change it, unless you can really break through yourself.

This kind of thing is very common in the entertainment industry, for example, Liu Yufei has put a lot of effort into getting rid of the image of "fairy sister", although the effect is not obvious enough, but she has indeed made a lot of efforts for this.

Su Mu feels that there is nothing wrong with wanting to become popular with idol dramas, this is a shortcut, but it must be interspersed with some contrasting roles in the middle, preferably literary films.

Such skills hone his acting skills, expand his contacts, and plan to enter the film industry in the future, but he will not let himself be stereotyped, and will not leave the audience with the illusion that he can only act in idol dramas.

"I knew you were going to have this expression. Wang Dan showed an expected expression, and then said: "So, I contacted you with two more movies, a male lead in Ning Hao's comedy movie "The Big Robbery", and a second male in Chen Er's criminal emotional movie "Border Storm", which one are you interested in? I personally recommend "The Big Robbery", Ning Hao's work, the box office is guaranteed. ”

"Sister Dan, you say this as if it's like a movie from our company, and you still choose it casually?"

"It's not our company's movie, but with our company's connections and background, an audition opportunity is still handy, as for whether you can get the role, it depends on your own ability. ”

"I thought I could be escorted, but I still have to audition. Su Mu pretended to be lost.

"It's beautiful to think about, and our company has not invested, how can we directly arrange the role. It's good to have a chance to audition, don't be cheap and good. Here's the script for two movies, you take a look at it first. ”

After speaking, Wang Dan took out two stacks of paper from his bag and handed them to Su Mu.

Su Mu took the two scripts, opened "The Big Robbery" and looked at it first, the plot is not much different from the movies he saw in his previous life, but there is more content, and it is estimated that it should have been deleted for the sake of passing the review.

Then he picked up "Border Storm" and looked at it, this time he watched it very seriously, just like when he opened "Golden Vase Plum" for the first time in high school, he was hungry and thirsty.

Half an hour later, just when Wang Dandu was about to fall asleep on the back of the chair, Su Mu finally had a choice.

"Sister Dan, I choose "Border Storm", and "The Big Robbery" won't audition. ”

"Huh? Are you sure?"

Wang Dan was a little surprised, she thought that Su Mu would choose "The Great Robbery", after all, Ning Hao's name was there.

Ning Hao has become a hot new director in China through the two films "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing", and is the fourth mainland director in China to enter the 100 million yuan club, and also served as a judge at the 47th Golden Horse Awards last year.

It can be said that without looking at the cast, but relying on the word "Ning Hao", it can attract many audiences into the cinema.

In his new movie, I don't know how many actors want to participate, even if they don't give money.

Unexpectedly, Su Mu was not moved, but chose Chen Er's movie that ordinary audiences have never heard of, which is really strange.

"Amu, why didn't you choose "The Big Robbery", are you afraid of strong competition and can't choose it? It's okay, although it is the role of the male lead, Ning Hao wants a newcomer who has never appeared on the big screen, so the competition with you will not be a big name, don't worry. ”

"Sister Dan, it's not what you think. Su Mu shook his head.

In his previous life, he was the male lead played by his ex-husband's brother, and his acting skills were not bad, after all, he, like himself, had also starred in many dramas when he was in school.

Drama is the best way to hone acting skills, and most of the actors of the older generation are from dramas, so they are not bad at acting on stage, and they act like anything.

If you want to compete with your ex-husband for this role, it will be a bit difficult, and Su Mu thinks that her acting skills will not be lost to her ex-husband.

But the most important point is that he is not from the Northeast, he can't speak fluent Northeast dialect, and he can't naturally show the kind of humor of the Northeasterners, and this alone makes him incompetent for that role.

Moreover, he didn't want to compete for that role at all.

There is a big problem with the script of the movie "The Great Robbery", the first half is okay, but there is a bit of a collapse in the back, there are big problems with the logic of the plot, there are too many unreasonable places, and they can't stand scrutiny at all.

and forcibly reduced intelligence, such as the Dongying officer, who was supposed to be a fierce and cunning old fox, but his IQ plummeted and became a stupid ratio.

None of this matters, after all, it is a comedy with black humor, and there is no need to demand that everything is reasonable.

But, this movie is really not that funny.

In his previous life, when Su Mu watched it in the cinema, he laughed a few times after the whole show, and he didn't have the feeling he had when he watched "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing".

In general, "The Great Robbery" is a comedy movie that can be watched and used to pass the time when you are bored, but it is not very good, at least it is not on the same level as "Border Storm".

"Amu, are you sure you don't want to audition for "The Great Robbery"? Actually, we can audition on both sides, which one will be filmed. Moreover, I am still more optimistic about "The Great Robbery", Ning Hao's works, and the audience still recognizes them. And it's the male one, once the box office hits, it will be a step to the sky for you, comparable to five TV series. ”

Wang Dan originally just used "Border Storm" as a spare tire, but he didn't expect Su Mu to choose this movie directly, and he didn't even go to the audition for "The Great Robbery".

Su Mu chuckled and said, "Sister Dan, let's not talk about whether this movie can be a box office hit, I'm really not suitable for that role, I can't even speak Northeast dialect, even if I go to audition, I will be brushed down." What you should be worried about now is whether Director Chen Er can take a fancy to me, if the audition fails, you have to help me contact other movies, anyway, I can't make idol dramas anymore for the time being. ”

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Wang Dan couldn't say anything, sighed, and said: "Hey, anyway, you have autonomy in the selection of plays, you have the final say, I'm the agent, it's okay to run errands, what's the use of talking." ”

Hearing this, Su Mu pinched Wang Dan's shoulder very dogleggedly, and said with a smile: "Sister Dan, why is it useless for you to speak? Next time, next time you say we will act whatever you say, this time let me be willful. ”

"Come on, don't pretend to be well-behaved here. You go back to the hotel and rest, and when you have time, you can study the script, and when you have to audition, I will accompany you. ”

"Hehe, don't worry, Sister Dan, I will definitely think through the script, and I will never embarrass you when I audition. ”
