Chapter 108: Shoots
To tell the truth, Wang Jinglu's decision, the more people in the circle, the more difficult it is to agree.
There is an old saying in the circle, called "the role is a popular actor", but there are so many plays in the country every year, so many roles and actors are needed, how many are popular?
In short, good actors are not rare, there are many of them, but good roles are always limited.
Especially for young people around the age of 20 to play good roles, there are even fewer pitiful. And when this definition is narrowed down to actresses...... As we all know, even in the United States, which claims equality between men and women, in Hollywood, the opportunities available to actors and actresses are absolutely different. Whether you admit it or not, men and women, in any country and in any industry, are never completely equal. This is especially true in China.
In the time and space that Li Qian once experienced, not to mention foreign countries, but only to talk about China, how many actresses can meet at a young age who is suitable for their age and their own acting path and become popular?
Counting on my fingers, around 2000, there were only a few people in the entire domestic film and television industry, such as Zhao, Zhou, Xu, Zhang, Lin, etc., but how many actresses debuted in various ways at the same time with them?
There is no need to think about anything else, the performance students in the country's famous film and television, drama, and art colleges will graduate about one or two hundred people every year, plus college students, plus various art schools, plus models and singers who have changed careers. and those young actors, child stars, second-generation stars, and so on who have been in the circle since very early on. Arguably. There are hundreds of new faces in this circle every year, but don't say it's popular, how many people can really be sure that they can hold a job in this industry for a lifetime after going through the test?
The more glamorous the profession, the more brutal the competition, this is the simplest truth.
So, for newcomers, not even newcomers. As long as you are not popular and not popular nationwide, then for an actor, having a drama to receive is happiness and the greatest affirmation of you.
What's more, Wang Jinglu is just a college student, and she just took on two "silly white sweet" roles, so she has just started to become famous?
However, Wang Jinglu's boyfriend's words are logically speaking. Again, quite right, so. Even if you want to refute it, it doesn't seem so easy.
After listening to the set of theories relayed by Wang Jinglu, Jiang Xiaoyu and Tong Lili glanced at each other, and they didn't know what to say, Lu Jingyou shrugged his shoulders, thinking that it was better to say less, after all, the person who spoke over there was Wang Jinglu's boyfriend, and it was said that he was a rich second generation, since he didn't have any thoughts about Wang Jinglu, it was better not to offend.
But at this time, Zhu Yukun thought about it, but he still couldn't help but speak: "Xiaolu, what your boyfriend said actually makes sense, but I think things have to be looked at from another angle." ”
After a pause, he said earnestly: "Look at it, although you are now popular, Xiaohong, and have an appointment, but to be honest, you should also know that actors of our age, unless a play is popular, otherwise, it is too easy to find a newcomer to replace it, you are a little popular, but once these two dramas are broadcast, the heat on your body has subsided, think about it, those producers, directors or something, how many people will worry about having to let you come to the play?"
Speaking of this, he shook his head and said sincerely: "No, Xiaolu! Whether it is Xiao Qiao in the Three Kingdoms or Mingxia in the halfway couple, they are all very beautiful and innocent characters, but the roles are not heavy, and you can't really let everyone remember it, in this case, I don't think it's time to think about the future drama." ”
"At this time, you should take advantage of the fact that the audience and the production company are at the peak of their popularity for you, take on more dramas, accumulate contacts while taking on the scenes, and at the same time, keep new dramas released, you can maintain the current popularity, so that when you have a suitable role in the future, you will be qualified to consider the issue of transformation!
I have to say that although Zhu Yukun is the same age as Wang Jinglu, among people of their age, he is qualified to be praised as a young man, and what he said is indeed the experience of actors living in this circle.
So when he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaoyu, Tong Lili, Lu Jingyou, etc., everyone nodded one after another, and Jiang Xiaoyu said to Wang Jinglu seriously: "Xiaolu, I think what Lao Zhu said is quite reasonable......! Hey, I just reacted, isn't your boyfriend's status in your heart unusually high? It feels like you're completely ruled by him, and you obey what you say? But he's not a person in our industry, I think you still have to think more about this kind of thing, and don't listen to him completely, what do you say?"
When Wang Jinglu heard this, she just laughed and didn't squeak.
Shen Tiantian was about to open his mouth to ease the atmosphere, but Zhu Yukun spoke first, and he didn't know if he was stimulated by the sentence "extremely important", or "obeying his words" or something, his words were a little choked, "I think so too, Xiaolu, do you know? Don't worry about anything, I'm most afraid of laymen guiding insiders!"
Shen Tiantian pursed her lips and decided to continue to stand by.
In fact, every time at this time, she really wanted Wang Jinglu to take Li Qian out at once, and she felt that the feeling of shocking everyone at once must be refreshing!
Think about it, Wang Jinglu is Li Qian's woman, and she is also a childhood sweetheart, her feelings are so deep that she is not married yet, and even the two queens have to be honest and be a little wife, her future, you still have to worry about it?
Who is Li Qian, he is the "leader" of the group of people in front of him who give advice and reason, and he is the leading figure in the current domestic pop music scene!
Although Shen Tiantian didn't have the opportunity to participate in Li Qian's life, she and Wang Jinglu almost talked about everything. So compared to ordinary fans such as Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhu Yukun. Her understanding of Li Qian. Obviously a lot more.
For example, Li Qian and Feng Yumin, the chief director of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," seem to be friends who have forgotten their old years -- who is Feng Yumin? Almost everyone in the domestic film and television circle knows that it is the number one spot among domestic TV drama directors, and that is the director of the TV drama production center of Huaxia TV Station.
With his connections, what TV series role does Wang Jinglu want. Do you still need to rely on others to support you?
For another example, as we all know, the Four Great Beauty Band is Li Qian's band, and who are the rhythm guitarists of the Four Great Beauty Bands? Yu Bojun! A well-known new-generation director in China, and a director who has devoted himself to urban light comedy and urban love scenes over the years, is said to have great connections inside and outside the circle! Of course, the most important thing is that he and Li Qian are brothers!
With him, Wang Jinglu has no problem acting in movies! Especially in films such as urban love scenes and urban light comedies. But it's the most suitable for actresses in their early twenties!
Not to mention, Li Qian also studied photography at Shuncheon Film Academy. It is said that he is quite talented in film and television, and even Xiaolu said that when the two of them are free, they discuss performance issues, and his guidance can often hit the nail on the head, which makes him feel that he has gained a lot-
Based on the above conditions, although Wang Jinglu is just a budding little flower, the background and connections behind her are definitely not comparable to ordinary actors!
Can the rules, experiences, and the like that apply to ordinary actors be useful to her?
Shen Tiantian thought about it, if he took Li Qian out at this time, and brought out the little connections he knew about Li Qian, he would scare them and his gang at once, and within three seconds, they would be properly shut up!
Of course, she has to hold back, can't say - there is a sense of calm pretense, but at the same time, it is easy to hold back internal injuries!
At this time, Wang Jinglu smiled and seemed to want to say something, but coincidentally, I don't know whose mobile phone suddenly rang.
As soon as Wang Jinglu heard the phone ringing, she said, "It may be mine", and when she took out her bag and took out her mobile phone, it was really hers, and then, seeing the caller number on the screen, she couldn't help but put her index finger to her lips, "Shh!"
After a pause, she said, "It's Teacher Liu!"
Shen Tiantian was the first to react, "Wouldn't it be that I was looking for your script to find Mr. Liu again......, right?" As she spoke, she leaned her ear over without hesitation.
Wang Jinglu answered the phone and pushed her with a smile.
But no, not only Shen Tiantian came over, but even Jiang Xiaoyu and Tong Lili also came over.
Wang Jinglu had no choice but to let it go.
"Hello Mr. Liu, I'm Xiaolu. ”
"Xiaolu, the first thing, the teacher told you, you really need to find an agent. It's not that the teacher is troublesome or anything, I have to explain this to you thoroughly. You are popular now, and everyone has made several detours, trying to find you and contact you, but when this wind passes, you can't be so popular all the time, and at that time, you must have an agent to take care of your relationship with various producers and directors, otherwise, if you don't take the initiative, can you still expect people to always think about you?"
Wang Jinglu thought about it when she heard this, although she knew that the other party couldn't see it, she still nodded solemnly, "Well, I understand what you mean, teacher, I will think about this matter when I go back, and I will definitely complete the agent's matter as soon as possible." ”
Teacher Liu Jingmei responded with a "yes", and then said: "If you need to recommend any company or agent, or if you need the teacher to help you refer to it, just call me, or come home directly, do you know?"
Waiting for Wang Jinglu to respond with a "yes" and thank you again, she said again: "That's okay, the second thing, this afternoon, an old friend of mine called over, also to ask about you, you should have heard of him, his name is Wu He, last year's very popular TV series "Poetry of Youth", is his work, he directed, he called and said that he was going to open a new drama recently, which is his usual youth theme, I heard that you don't have a film appointment on you, so I asked you if you would like to try the heroine. ”
After a pause, she said again: "Of course, Lao Wu should be quite optimistic about you." said that I like the natural purity of your body and is not pretentious. Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked for you personally. They called me all the time. Of course, you still need to audition, so it's not a sure thing. But I think I should be five or six points sure. How about it, this time it's the heroine, Lao Wu is very good at praising newcomers like you, do you want to try it?"
"Uh......"
At that moment, Wang Jinglu was a little flustered, and subconsciously looked around. But I found that several people in this room were already stunned, and they all looked extremely surprised--just said that the opportunity to play the heroine was not so easy to find? It's only been a few minutes, and the heroine has found Youmu? And it's also the director of "Poetry of Youth", Wu He! Although it's not a big name, for newcomers of their level, it's definitely a giant level.
Do you want to audition for his new play?
Of course you have to go!
Although they knew that it had nothing to do with them, Jiang Xiaoyu, Tong Lili, Shen Tiantian, Lu Jingyou, Zhu Yukun and others still stared at Wang Jinglu one by one, as if they couldn't wait to hear her agree.
However, after a moment of hesitation. Wang Jinglu said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, but ...... I'd like to talk to my boyfriend about it first. You see...... Can you reply to Director Wu a day or two later? Also, can I read the script first?"
The group of people in the room were dumbfounded, and they all looked at Wang Jinglu with a look of "anger".
Being looked at like this by four or five people, Wang Jinglu felt a little embarrassed, so she turned sideways.
At this time, Teacher Liu Jingmei said: "There is a book, he has it here with me, you can find time to come and get it." As for the reply, don't worry, he still has to prepare for this drama for a while, and it would be good if he could start filming in a month or two. Then wait until you look back at the book first.,If you're interested.,I'll help you contact him.。 ”
Hearing this, Wang Jinglu hurriedly agreed, "Okay, then thank you, Mr. Liu, I'm ...... Shall I go to your house in the afternoon?...... Hey, okay, okay, I'll be there later, I'll go downstairs now......"
Wang Jinglu hung up the phone, faced with a room of strange eyes, and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhu Yukun's face looked a little unnatural, Lu Jingyou patted him on the shoulder and shrugged his shoulders himself, while Jiang Xiaoyu and Tong Lili also spread their hands and shrugged their shoulders, as if expressing their speechless mood.
On the contrary, it was Shen Tiantian, who gloated a little at this time: "It's okay this time, heroine, I want to see if your parents agree!"
When Wang Jinglu heard this, she couldn't help but glance at her again.
…………
Because Wang Jinglu had something to do, this small gathering was naturally forced to be interrupted.
By the time Wang Jinglu got the script from Teacher Liu Jingmei and returned home, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon. After going upstairs and finding that Li Qian hadn't come back yet, she read the script.
Only about ten minutes later, Li Qian suddenly called, Wang Jinglu answered and didn't have time to ask him when he would go home, Li Qian had already said with a little helplessness: "Something happens tomorrow morning, uh...... Liao Liao's sister is coming, and her parents are said to be coming together, so I'll stay here with Liao Liao tonight, don't go back, don't wait for me, it's okay to live by yourself, go back to your sister's side, and go back when I settle a few of them, okay?"
After a pause, Wang Jinglu whispered "um", and then said: "Okay, then you can live over there, I'm fine, it just so happens that Mr. Liu just gave me a script, and I'm going to read the script tonight." ”
Li Qian let out a "hmm".
On both sides of the phone, they were relatively silent, but they didn't hang up the phone, and they were quiet for a while.
After another moment, Wang Jinglu took a breath slowly, showed a slight smile to herself, and said in a relaxed tone: "By the way, I have something to ask you, today Mr. Liu told me that I must find an agent." ”
Li Qian paused for a moment before saying: "Well, it's okay to find an agent, in this case, when I'm done with this stubble, you can come over, I will ask Mr. Qi to prepare a contract for you, you can sign it, and I will choose the agent for you." ”
Wang Jinglu was stunned when she heard this, "Ah, I'll sign to Minghu?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Qian seemed to smile, "Minghu is making music now, but didn't I tell you, I will set up an image department next, and I will consider splitting it out in the future and becoming a film and television company." As for you, after signing it, you are also in the brokerage department, which is just right for the people on the company's side to start traveling in the film and television industry, anyway, you have been popular recently!"
"Oh!"
Wang Jinglu agreed, thought about it, and said, "Okay, then you can call me later." ”
Li Qian heard the words "um" and said "yes", as if he felt that the slightly embarrassing atmosphere just now had disappeared, this time, he quickly said, "Then I'll hang up first and wait for my call." ”
Wang Jinglu said "um", and then hung up on the other end of the phone.
Holding the phone and watching the screen go black, Wang Jinglu took a deep breath.
Then, she put down her phone and picked up the script, but her eyes were motionless, and after a while, she simply threw the script down, stood up and walked to the window, looking out the window at the setting sun.
Ten minutes passed, she sighed, turned around and walked back, first turned on the light, went to the kitchen to pick up water, boiled water, and then took the tea leaves, and when the water boiled, she made a cup of tea for herself, walked out, watched the buds in the glass tumble and fall, and gradually bloomed delicate leaves, then took a sip and put it on the coffee table.
Then, she calmly picked up the script again.
