On September 29th, after nearly a week of casting, Murong Yanliang finally found another male lead, named Yu Shan, who became famous very early, and was active on the TV screen for a while, and the role of "Zhu Bajie" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that to this day, people still call him Zhu Bajie, and few people can remember his real name.

It is precisely because of this that he has been in art for nearly 20 years, and he has not been able to get out of the shadow of Zhu Bajie. There are fewer and fewer scenes that can be taken, although the acting skills are very solid, but no one recognizes them, at most they play a male No. 3 or 4 character, sometimes they are special actors, but in fact, they are just a trick.

You don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but if you want to become popular, it's impossible.

But in the entertainment industry, who is willing to play the role of No. 3, 4 or 5 all the time, and who is not in this circle with a popular attitude?

So when Murong Yanliang found him, he agreed hesitantly, even if Murong Yanliang had repeated it again and again before, the investment in this drama was only 1.5 million, and he did not hesitate to choose to join.

The reason is very simple, Wang Xiaobai is the screenwriter and producer of "People in Embarrassment", this man who has won a box office of nearly 240 million with two million has magical power.

For Yu Shan, no matter how bad it is, he can't find out where it is, but if it becomes popular, then he no longer has to play the role of No. 3, 4 or 5 in a movie with a small investment.

It was a gamble for him, losing was just a waste of two months, and winning was a success.

Wang Xiaobai saw Yu Shan in the company, not tall, about 1.723 meters, with a round face and a big belly, but he looked strong and his expression looked gentle, but as long as he wore a gold chain, the image of the big man was immediately poked there.

It seems that Lao Mu is very careful in casting this time, and he is already very close in terms of character image, where is the problem?

He looked Yu Shan up and down.

Yu Shan looked a little nervous at this moment, and his ass was only touching the corner of the sofa, and he felt like he could fall off at any time.

Seeing that Wang Xiaobai was in deep thought, Murong Yanliang was also a little nervous, and said, "Xiaobai, what do you think of him, how much is the difference between him and Li Chenggong in your imagination?"

"It's pretty much the same, but it feels like something is wrong. He said.

As soon as he said this, Yu Shan became nervous, couldn't the casting pass?

Murong Yanliang was also nervous, and wanted to say a few words for Yu Shan, but Wang Xiaobai waved his hand and asked Yu Shan: "Let's not talk about this first, you also know about the investment in this drama, right? The investment is not much, just 1.5 million, so every penny has to be spent on the blade." ”

Yu Shan was just about to speak, but Wang Xiaobai hadn't finished his words, and asked Murong Yanliang, "How much is his salary?"

"That's the case, his salary ......" Murong Yanliang just wanted to speak, but Yu Shan directly grabbed the words: "Producer Wang, I am willing to appear with zero pay, I just hope that Producer Wang can give me a chance." ”

Wang Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and Yu Shan continued.

He clenched his fists tightly, and the fat on his face could be seen to be determined: "Producer Wang, you also know, I became a starring actor before graduating from school at the age of 20, and a TV series left a deep impression on the audience." At that time, some people said that I could only play a Zhu Bajie in my life, but I was not convinced, I thought that with my strength, I could not only play a Zhu Bajie, but I could also create other images that were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”

Speaking of this, his expression was full of loneliness: "But they are right, since Zhu Bajie, I have never been able to play other roles, so that now I am getting more and more miserable." But I'm still not convinced, I think I can do it, but I don't have a chance! Until I saw that Wang Producers created a movie with a box office of 250 million with 2 million, I felt that this was my only chance!"

"I hope Producer Wang can give me a chance, I don't want a salary, I'm not afraid of hardship, and even if the crew is short of money, I can put all my savings into it, I just hope to get this precious opportunity!

As he spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply, with a very sincere attitude.

An old man in his forties, for an opportunity, bowed his head to a young man who was much younger than himself, with such a humble attitude, only a person with an infinite desire for success can make such a low profile.

Wang Xiaobai was deeply moved, what a good actor, good acting skills, good image, willing to endure hardships, the key is not money, people like this kind of persistent pursuit of art are rare.

He nodded and said, "Okay, the first male protagonist of this play will be given to you." ”

"Really?" Yu Shan looked up, his round eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

Wang Xiaobai said: "It's true, we will not disappoint a person who has dreams and artistic pursuits." ”

"Great, I...... I really don't know what to say......" moved a forty-year-old man, and his eyes were red.

Murong Yanliang was also very excited, I knew that Xiaobai's dream never was to create much box office, but to inject fresh blood into this backwater entertainment industry. Following him will be the most important choice in my life.

At this point, the casting of "People in Embarrassment" is officially over, the first male protagonist Li Chenggong is played by Yu Shan, the second male protagonist Niu Geng is played by Wang Baobao, and the rest of the female protagonists, Lu Jiayi will make a cameo appearance (note, no money is charged), and there is a new front desk, which will also play Li Chenggong's little three.

Yes, Wang Xiaobai recruited a front desk and secretary, the kind that a secretary does.

After the matter was settled, Wang Xiaobai beckoned and signaled that the two could go, but suddenly stopped Yu Shan.

"Producer Wang, do you have any other orders?" Yu Shan is now a die-hard fan second only to Murong Yanliang.

Wang Xiaobai looked Yu Shan up and down, making Yu Shan a little flustered, I heard that are quite popular in the entertainment industry now, is it possible...... If so, then ...... Then follow him, as long as he is willing to give me this chance.

Wang Xiaobai said in Yu Shan's apprehensive mood: "By the way, you should shave your head." ”

“……”

Yu Shan was stunned, what kind of operation is this, this is not a braided play, why do you have to shave your head?

Wang Xiaobai continued: "Your appearance, to be honest, is not first-class in the entertainment industry, so you have to find another way, bald head, it will give people an inexplicable sense of joy and affinity, and it is also quite suitable for your face shape." ”

“……”

It turns out that it is not an unspoken rule, alas, how good it would be?

Yu Shan felt quite sorry in his heart.

Wang Xiaobai asked: "Don't you want to? It's okay if you don't shave......

"No, no, I do!" Yu Shan said excitedly, 180 catties of meat trembling.

"Okay, let's go. Wang Xiaobai waved his hand.

Yu Shan left with regret on his face.

Out of the room, Murong Yanliang asked, "Are you really willing to shave your head?"

Yu Shan said: "Is there any problem? I think Producer Wang is right, my appearance is not popular in the entertainment industry, there are a lot of handsome men and beautiful women, maybe there will be an unexpected gain from shaving my head." ”

"Well, it's good if you're happy. ”

Murong Yanliang also had nothing to say, sighing in his heart, alas, I seem to have recruited a fool to be the first male lead.
