Chapter 70 (II)
Although Yang Tingyao was secretly anxious in Fang's heart, she knew that she couldn't interject now, and she didn't know what to say, so she just held Zhang Shaoyu's left hand tightly, hoping to convey her worries to him.
Wu Ji suddenly laughed, and said with a smile to the bearded field staff behind him and the other two crew leaders: "How is it?" I'm right, maybe many people who sharpen their heads and want to drill into the film and television industry will attach great importance to this audition, but Zhang Shaoyu, this kid won't take it seriously, haha, what I fancy is his arrogant personality, there are too many sheep in the circle now, I want a wild lion, because, sheep will not have too much innovation and creativity, Xiao Huzi, Lao Guo, Lao Zhang, admit the gamble and lose! Remember, one of you owes me a box of 'big red buckets'!"
The bearded field manager, that is, Xiao Huzi in Wu Ji's mouth, looked at Zhang Shaoyu and shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Boy, a newcomer who wants to be an actor, dare to be so arrogant and domineering in front of Director Wu, you can be called the first person in the circle! β
Only then did Zhang Shaoyu understand why Wu Ji's attitude just now seemed so strange and cold, and dared to love him on purpose, betting with him and the bearded field service and others. He muttered secretly in his heart: "This Wu Ji seems to know Lao Tzu's character quite well. In the face of this kind joke, even if there is fire in his heart, he can't send it out now.
Zhang Shaoyu glanced at Xiao Huzi and said lightly: "Because I never thought of being an actor." β
"I do my own thing, and if I have no desire, I am strong. Wu Ji smiled: "Zhang Shaoyu, these eight words are my evaluation of you." It is precisely because you never thought of mixing in the film and television industry that you have a normal heart that most people in this circle lack now, which is the most important factor why I have to drag you into the water. β
The corners of Zhang Shaoyu's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Wu Ji and said with a smile: "Director Wu, I don't know how to swim, you have to drag me into the water, in case I am drowned, you are not harming me." β
"No, you can't learn. No one is born with anything. Wu Ji took out a "big red barrel" cigar from the inner pocket of his leather jacket, and did not play the style of a famous director, asking people to light cigarettes, but took out a ZIP lighter from his outer pocket and lit the cigar, Wu Ji took three puffs in a row, Fang Tuyun spit out the fog and said: "Zhang Shaoyu, it is really not easy for this sentence to come out of your boy's mouth! Do you think there is a pit in this world that can drown you?"
"Director Wu, I don't seem to be as arrogant as you think. Zhang Shaoyu smiled indifferently.
Wu Ji waved his hand and said with a smile: "You kid pretend to be humble in front of me, since you are here today, I hope you can have a good performance in the role play that you are waiting for, and prove to everyone why you Zhang Shaoyu dare to be so arrogant, my surname Wu thinks that these eyes have never missed people, give me a chance, and at the same time give yourself a chance!"
Zhang Shaoyu and Yang Tingyao may not know how much weight Wu Ji has in the domestic film and television circle, but the others present, including Zhang Xiaoli, know very well what kind of figure Wu Ji is in the circle.
What is the origin of this unattractive Zhang Shaoyu, who is actually worthy of Director Wu's attention to him? Xiao Huzi, the person in charge of field affairs, Lao Guo, the person in charge of photography, and Lao Guo, the person in charge of drama, were all a little dumbfounded by Wu Ji's words.
Zhang Shaoyu still looked indifferent to the eight quilts, and said with a smile: "Cheng Wu is so favored, then I will try to mix it up, I hope I won't disappoint Director Wu." β
Wu Ji said half-truthfully: "Whether I mix or try, I have the strength and skills, and naturally I will have a bright future, otherwise, if I don't have a gold diamond, I will take this porcelain job, I am famous for turning my face and not recognizing people, no matter who it is, what background I have, as long as I mess up, I will roll up and leave early!"
Zhang Shaoyu smiled disapprerovingly: "It's a mule or a horse, let's take it out and we'll know." β
Wu Ji glanced at Xiao Huzi and the others, and scolded with a smile: "I just like the smell of disregard for everything on this stinky boy, Xiao Zhang, you take Zhang Shaoyu to the next room, introduce the plot to him, and when Liu Feng arrives, directly arrange for Zhang Shaoyu to enter the play." β
Zhang Shaoyu pulled Yang Tingyao up and smiled at Wu Ji: "Director Wu, then I'll go and prepare first, and flash people first." β
"Go, go, go!" Wu Ji waved his hand and smiled: "Boy, remember, actors are not people, they are 'talents', if you really plan to enter this circle, I hope you are fully mentally prepared." Because, no actor, from the very beginning, can have a role to play. β
Zhang Shaoyu smiled indifferently: "It's a big deal, it's the same as 9527 back then, and it starts to mix from the show." Anyway, now I just need to be able to eat. β
"Wait, stinky boy. Wu Ji stopped Zhang Shaoyu, who was walking out, and asked, "Do you know the real connotation of the code name 9527?"
Zhang Shaoyu shook his head silently.
Wu Ji Zhengse said: "9527 = gold oil!"
"Jack-of-all-trades?!" Zhang Shaoyu asked puzzled.
"It's the name of the all-round role, what it looks like. Zhang Xiaoli explained on the side.
Zhang Shaoyu said "oh" and nodded to show understanding.
Xiao Huzi smiled and said: "Zhang Shaoyu, I remember the first time you were performing, didn't you joke with me and say, do you want me to give you a code name of 9527, 9527 has become a strange thing in the circle, you don't have a chance to use it, I think, you just call it 9528." β
The bearded man's words made the crew members in the room laugh.
Zhang Shaoyu said seriously: "Field boss, 9528 is so uncreative, if you want to call it, call it 9520!"
"Hee-hee, 9520, 'I love you', that's an interesting codename. Zhang Xiaoli smiled: "Zhang Shaoyu, you really remember your girlfriend all the time!"
Wu Ji glanced at Yang Tingyao, who was sitting next to Zhang Shaoyu, and smiled indifferently: "Since you brought your girlfriend to see your audition, I hope you stay for a while and don't let her feel disappointed in you." β
Zhang Shaoyu smiled: "Director Wu, if I will disappoint her, then I am not Zhang Shaoyu!"
Wu Ji smiled at Yang Tingyao and said, "It seems that you spoil him on weekdays." β
Yang Tingyao's face turned red, and she said with a smile: "Director Wu, I have to ask you to take care of Shaoyu a little more in the future." β
"It depends on the boy's creation. Wu Ji waved his hand to Zhang Shaoyu with a smile and said, "Let's go, I'm waiting to see your performance." Xiao Zhang, just give him the predetermined role. β
Zhang Xiaoli happily agreed, and then hooked her hand to Zhang Shaoyu, "9520, follow me!"
When she shouted like this, everyone present burst into laughter again, and even Wu Ji laughed out loud, "Zhang Shaoyu, I see, everyone will call you 9520 in the future, hehe......"
Zhang Shaoyu shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I like this number very much. β

In room 869 next door, Zhang Xiaoli took the script and patiently and carefully introduced the plot to Zhang Shaoyu.
Zhang Shaoyu listened intently.
Yang Tingyao was confused when she heard it, but her face still showed an interested and concerned look.
The general plot of this scene is to let Zhang Shaoyu play a very righteous gangster, the most loyal brother of the first protagonist, the brothers were invited by another club to attend a drinking party, but they fell into a trap carefully set by the enemy, Zhang Shaoyu wanted to play the scene of how to desperately rescue the first protagonist from the encirclement.
Zhang Shaoyu was originally familiar with the plot of the novel "No Return Road", and he had a period of fooling around with Li Dan, Liang Jin and other brothers, so he was very sure of playing this role well.
He is confident that he can act well in all the scenes arranged by the director, and the only difficulty is that he thinks the fight scenes in the play are a bit inconsistent with reality, just like filming a martial arts scene.
He put forward some of his views and suggestions and asked Zhang Xiaoli to convey them to Director Wu.
After listening to it, Zhang Xiaoli said to Zhang Shaoyu very solemnly: "You may be right, but this is filming, not reality, the movie focuses on creating the best visual and auditory effects for the audience, and pays attention to the good-looking scenes, otherwise, how can there be so many close-ups of actors posing for POSS in those martial arts scenes?"
Zhang Shaoyu was silent, he didn't refute with Zhang Xiaoli, because he knew that arguing with her little girl was a waste of time, and it was useless.
Seeing that Zhang Shaoyu didn't speak, Zhang Xiaoli thought that he agreed with her point of view, the little girl smiled proudly and said: "Comrade 9520, the water in the circle is deep, learn more, okay, don't talk about this." I don't know when Liu Feng will arrive, you should be more familiar with the plot first, and brew more about the character. I have other messy things to do, so I won't accompany you. β
"Hmm!" Zhang Shaoyu nodded nonchalantly.
"Hehe, this sister, it's not in vain. After speaking, Zhang Xiaoli left with a smile.
After seeing Zhang Xiaoli close the door, Yang Tingyao said to Zhang Shaoyu: "Shaoyu, I know that you have always been very assertive in doing things, but we are mixed in this real society, and there are many things that cannot be transferred according to our own will. People are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, the film and television industry is a very complicated circle, as a newcomer to the industry, I suggest that you listen more, watch more, and do more in everything in the future, try to talk as little as possible, and if you can, it's best not to speak. β
Zhang Shaoyu replied lightly: "Senior sister, I know how to do it." β
Yang Tingyao stood up and straightened his collar for him, and asked softly while arranging, "Husband, is that Zhang Xiaoli just now, is it Zhang Li's sister?"
When Zhang Shaoyu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, reached out and gently pinched Yang Tingyao's ruddy face, and said with a smile: "The two of them can't fight together with eight poles, wife, if you follow your logic, then wouldn't I be the brother of Zhang Yu, the prince of love songs?"
Yang Tingyao's heart was relieved, and she said coquettishly: "You are not allowed to make fun of others." β
"Silly girl. Zhang Shaoyu gently scratched her little nose.
"Husband, when are you going to go to Changsha?"
"Let's look at the crew's arrangement first. β
"Well, Hunan Television and Radio Media is the best in the country, and your development in Changsha is very beneficial to your career, but in this way, we are very far apart. β
"Senior sister, now that communication and transportation are so developed and convenient, even the earth is called a global village, there are many flights and trains from Changsha to Chengdu, besides, isn't there still a network!"
Yang Tingyao stared at Zhang Shaoyu affectionately, and said softly: "If the two love each other for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight, husband, I believe that the relationship between us can withstand the test of time and distance!"
"I must be able to!" Zhang Shaoyu pulled up Yang Tingyao's palm and said: "Senior sister, the crew may have to start filming after a while, this is busy, I don't think I have much time to accompany you, you better go back first, you have seen my situation, you should be able to rest assured, right?"
Yang Tingyao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, husband, then I will go back to Hongdu in the afternoon, when do you decide to leave Chengdu for Changsha, remember to tell me in advance." β
"Of course, wife, we'll see you online in the evening. β
"Be more careful when filming, don't hurt yourself, you've never filmed, especially fight scenes......"
"Hehe, don't worry, wife, don't forget, your husband and I were at Jiaotong University back then, but he was a well-known master of fighting. β
"It's not a big mistake to be careful! Husband, it hurts you, but it hurts in my heart. β
Zhang Shaoyu glanced at Yang Tingyao affectionately, and then hugged her in his arms.
"Okay, don't bother you, husband, I'm leaving. β
"Well, I'll get you in the car. β
"No, don't go downstairs, leave a good impression on others. β
"Then I'll take you into the elevator. β
"Hmm!"
After speaking, the two walked out of room 869 hand in hand.
Zhang Shaoyu sent Yang Tingyao to the elevator room on the eighth floor, and after she entered the elevator, she looked at the elevator indicator light and pondered for a while, before turning around and going back to the room.
In the corridor, Zhang Shaoyu happened to meet Zhang Xiaoli who came out of room 868.
Looking behind Zhang Shaoyu, Zhang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Your girlfriend is gone?"
Zhang Shaoyu nodded and said nothing.
"Miss Yang has a very good temperament, what does she do?"
Zhang Shaoyu sighed and said: "She is much stronger than me, she is a civil servant, and she is currently the secretary of the Hongdu Municipal Party Committee. β
"Ah! It turns out that you eat the emperor's grain, and you are also a senior government civil servant, you kid is quite powerful! Tell me, how did you hook up with others?" Zhang Xiaoli laughed jokingly.
Zhang Shaoyu suddenly remembered a line from Xing Ye in "The King of Comedy", so he smiled indifferently and said: "Actually, I am an actor, an actor, of course I can do anything." β
"Cut!" Zhang Xiaoli gestured to him, but then said with a straight face: "9520, your imitation of this sentence really has a bit of the expressive taste of the star master, not bad, promising." β
Suddenlyβ
Room 868 came from Director Wu's indignant scolding: "The son of a bastard, this grandson is not called a pockmark, but a pit man! Fuck his uncle, if he can't come, he won't come, does he know what professional ethics are? Fuck, he made a phone call and said that if he didn't catch the plane, he had to let the whole group spend a day in the hotel in vain, grandma is a bear, and he is in a hurry, Lao Tzu is replaced!"
When the sound fell, there was a sound of "bang" in the room, which was estimated to have smashed a teacup.
"Replacement? Director Wu, don't be impulsive, nearly two-thirds of the whole drama of "Bloodflow" has been filmed, if you change people now, all the films in front will have to be scrapped, this loss is too great. "It's the voice of a bearded man.
"Damn, if Lao Tzu still looks for this grandson to film in the future, Lao Tzu's Wu character will be written upside down, his uncle!"
The door of room 868 was slammed open from the inside, and the door hit the wall with a bang.
Wu Ji strode out of it with an angry face, and when he saw Zhang Shaoyu and Zhang Xiaoli looking at him in a daze outside, Wu Ji shouted angrily: "Look at what, what's so good, I won't shoot today." Zhang Shaoyu, go, go out with me!"
Regardless of Zhang Shaoyu's reaction, Wu Ji angrily threw his hands and walked towards the elevator.
If it had been changed half a year ago, Zhang Shaoyu would have been strange to Wu Ji. But now he knows that Director Wu must be because Liu Feng, the grandson, is playing a big name again, ignoring all the crew members, of course he can understand Wu Ji's mood at this time, and he said hello to Zhang Xiaoli with an attitude of not caring about Wu Ji, and then quickly chased after Wu Ji.
β»β»β»β»β»
The elevator went directly to the parking lot on the lower floor of the hotel, and Zhang Shaoyu silently accompanied Wu Ji towards a new "Mitsubishi Pajero" off-road jeep.
After getting in the car, Zhang Shaoyu sat in the passenger seat, Wu Ji didn't speak, he didn't bother to speak, silence was golden.
After the Mitsubishi jeep rushed out of the hotel parking lot, it drove at high speed on the one-way road in front of the hotel, and it was not known where Wu Ji planned to drive.
It wasn't until he got on the second ring road and drove for nearly half an hour on the rain-splashed road that Wu Ji slowly slowed down. With his hands propped up on the steering wheel, a sentence suddenly came out that made Zhang Shaoyu feel a little embarrassed:
"If you kid becomes famous in the circle in the future, remember one thing, at any time, don't play a big name in your crew, otherwise, your acting career will come to an end!"
Zhang Shaoyu pondered for a long time before he understood the meaning of these words. He looked at the hazy rain in front of him, and said indifferently: "A person who doesn't know how to respect others, how can he expect to be respected by others." β
Wu Ji glanced sideways at Zhang Shaoyu and said: "Many people can say this, and many people understand the truth, but there are really few who can really do it." β
Zhang Shaoyu looked at Wu Ji and said with a smile: "Mentality, decide everything." Isn't that the reason? β
Wu Ji nodded and replied: "Boy, I hope that you will always remember what you just said in your future life, a person's mentality determines his character, and a person's character can determine his life's achievements." β
Zhang Shaoyu replied solemnly: "Director Wu, I will!"
Looking at Zhang Shaoyu's two determined eyes, Wu Ji's tense black face showed a smile of approval, he held the steering wheel with one hand, took out two "big red barrel" cigars in his leather jacket with his free right hand, handed them to Zhang Shaoyu, and said, "Do you want one?"
Zhang Shaoyu took one, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "Director Wu, the packaging of this cigar is so exquisite, it should be dozens of pieces a cigarette, right?"
Wu Ji bit the red tin foil cylinder on the outside of the cigar with his mouth, poured out the cigarette, and said with a smile: "You add another zero, hehe, this big red barrel is made in Switzerland, and the price is 450 yuan a piece in China." Although it is a little worse than Cuban cigars, there are not many people in China who can afford to smoke this cigar. β
"Four hundred and five, damn it! This is my living expenses for a month!" Zhang Shaoyu hurriedly handed the cigarette back to Wu Ji, and said abruptly: "It's better to keep you to smoke slowly, this is not something that a poor person like me can enjoy." β
"If you want to smoke it, you can smoke it, and it can be regarded as giving yourself a long insight. As he spoke, Wu Ji lit the cigar he was holding in his mouth and took a few puffs.
Zhang Shaoyu didn't be polite to Wu Jiduo, but he didn't light the cigarette, but carefully put it away, and said with a smile: "Then I'll keep it for now, maybe I can take it out one day to fill the scene." β
"Look at your unproductive little look. Wu Ji stretched out his hand and knocked on Zhang Shaoyu's head, and scolded with a smile: "Boy, although the audition I arranged for you today is yellow, I know your strength, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you in person last time." Audition, it's just a formality, and when I return to the hotel, I will ask Xiao Zhang to get a contract for you to sign, follow me for three years first, as long as you kid can bear hardships and stand hard work, I guarantee that you will have a place for you Zhang Shaoyu in the film and television industry. β
Zhang Shaoyu remembered what Xiaoma said to him, "Let Wu Ji come to you in person, you kid is really fucking lucky", although he was extremely excited in his heart at this time, his face still remained calm. He pressed the window down a slit to let in the air inside, and the smell of the cigar was not ordinary.
"Director Wu, then I'll sell you all the more than 100 catties!" Zhang Shaoyu kept his tone as flat as possible.
Wu Ji laughed and said, "How much silver are you going to sell?"
"Of course, you have the final say, anyway, I'll follow you in the future. β
Wu Jihu's face straightened, and he said: "Shaoyu, jokes are jokes, personal friends are personal friends, in order to make you a big thing, my requirements for you are likely to be almost harsh, this, I hope you are mentally prepared." β
Zhang Shaoyu nodded and said: "The sword blade comes out of the mill, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, Director Wu, my stubborn iron, you can hammer hard!"
"Okay! That's what Lao Tzu wants. Hahaha!" Wu Jihong laughed loudly, as if he had completely forgotten the previous unpleasantness.
"I said, Director Wu, where are we going? You're about to drive out of the suburbs. Zhang Shaoyu asked, pointing to the street sign in front of him.
The two chatted while driving, and before they knew it, the car had left the city, driving on the national highway, heading towards Hongdu.
"If you don't say that I really forgot, grandma, let's turn around and go home. Wu Ji smiled: "Can you kid drive, or will you drive back?"
"It's going to be open, but I haven't been certified, hehe, if you're not afraid of any accidents, I can try." β
"Lao Tzu is afraid of a bird, at least Lao Tzu has lived for decades longer than your kid, wait for me to find a place to turn around in front, this coachman, you will be the driver." β
"Damn, just be it, we don't have other skills, we have a heavenly guts, hehehe!"
Wu Ji really did what he said, he turned around and stopped the car on the parking apron in front of a driver's restaurant on the side of the road that provides services for drivers on the national highway, and pushed the door to get out of the car with a relaxed expression.
Zhang Shaoyu also opened the car door, his feet just landed, and he habitually glanced at the restaurant in front of him.
Inadvertently, he saw a familiar figure at the door of the restaurant.
