Chapter 260: Can You Cook?

Gao Xiang has brought so many actors and stars, how could he not pay attention to this aspect of things

She pointed to those scripts and said: "Originally, I planned to let you go to these crews to play a soy sauce gangster, anyway, they are all some roles with good quality and about to be broadcast, but the roles are not heavy, even if you play them all, it won't take long, just brush your face in the blank period before your next work comes out, so as not to let the audience forget you"

Wait for Song Wan's next work to come out

Regardless of which one it is, as long as it is broadcast and released, Gao Xiang fully believes that it can push Song Wan's popularity and compulsion up a big bit.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the script that Song Wan got in her hand, who would have thought that pie would fall from the sky The second female lead in the Hollywood award-winning movie, if she plays it well, she may be able to take back the trophy of Best Supporting Actress.

Gao Xiang knew that she was thinking too much, after all, no matter how good Song Wan's acting skills were, the performance methods of the East and the West were very different, and Song Wan also needed one or two films to adapt, and then she could start thinking about things like awards.

But even so, if she can win this role, it is enough to make her excited.

The step that Song Wan is about to take will be the farthest "superstars" who have gone abroad in her impression

Even a few truly internationally renowned superstars have never had the opportunity to come into contact with such a heavyweight film that is used to impact awards.

What makes them famous and highly sought after is always an action movie with a grand scene and thrilling action.

It's just that the pie is too big, but it makes people suffer from gains and losses.

Song Wan saw at a glance Gao Xiang's worries hidden under the calm: "Do you think there is something wrong with this movie?"

"After receiving this script, I originally planned to postpone all your recent schedules and concentrate on figuring out this role"

"What happened later" Song Wan looked at Gao Xiang seriously.

"I won't allow myself to push you into the wrong abyss without realizing it. Gao Xiang's expression was entangled, "I asked someone to check this crew in Hollywood, and the result was very unexpected." ”

She looked at Song Wan, "But after thinking about it, I don't think it's so surprising." ”

Song Wan was silent for a moment and asked her: "What trouble is this crew encountering, and we can't find a suitable actor for the time being."

Gao Xiang hooked her lips: "It's not too much different from what you guessed." ”

She paused, and quickly told Song Wan what she had investigated: "The directors, screenwriters, photographers, and lighting engineers of the crew, including the original leading actors, are all among the best celebrities. But for some reason, half a month ago, the two leading actors suddenly broke the contract and resigned. After waiting for about a week, seeing that the crew had no clue about the choice of the leading role, the actors of the two important supporting roles also chose to resign. ”

Song Wan knocked on the table, wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "In other words, the crew has not found a suitable leading actor so far"

A crew that does not have a starring role and may not be able to find a suitable starring role in the future has been largely wasted.

But

"How did the crew notice me" Song Wan looked up, "Although I have shown my face abroad, it should be in the fashion circle"

Last time, the crew of Duke Veran noticed that she was understandable, because she is very popular in China, and her appearance is top-notch, and someone must be willing to pay for being a vase in the movie.

But if she didn't have enough trust in her acting skills, it would be impossible to take the risk to find her, a newcomer who can be said to have no influence in the foreign film industry

Unless, the crew has decided to break the jar

But with such a self-defeating crew, is there still any need for her to join?

When Gao Xiang heard Song Wan's words, she laughed instead: "Your worries are unreasonable. ”

Well

Song Wan looked at Gao Xiang blankly.

Gao Xiang smiled: "You don't know anything about your charm"

Song Wan was speechless: "If my fans say this, there will probably be seven or eight points of credibility." ”

Gao Xiang smiled again: "I'm not kidding you. ”

Song Wan looked at her with a helpless expression.

Gao Xiang coughed a few times, and then said with a straight face: "It was introduced by Director Cai Qi, and he has some friendship with the director of this crew." ”

"But you know, foreign countries have always uh, don't like to use Asian actors."

Gao Xiang showed a disgusting expression like eating.

Song Wan raised her eyebrows. Where I don't like to use it, I can't use it without Asian actors

Hollywood is very exclusive and discriminatory against Asian stars, especially Kyushu actors, which is also a "sequelae" left over from several wars before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Even if the political orientation of the people in the country is not to allow racial discrimination, discrimination is a very subjective emotional attitude, and the state can control that no one on the table can publicize it, and no one makes similar remarks on the public platform is already the limit, and what the public thinks in private is not even at the national level.

Therefore, even if there is Cai Qi's recommendation this time, if it weren't for the fact that this crew had already fallen into a predicament before, I am afraid that they would not have looked for Song Wan.

In the final analysis, it was Song Wan's good luck.

Song Wan thought about it and agreed to go to the audition. She flipped through other scripts: "Do these have any effect if they are pushed?"

Gao Xiang shook his head: "Originally, I said that I would make a cameo when I had time, and the salary was almost nothing"

The role of brushing her face is just to prevent being forgotten in front of the public for a long time, and it is not important, how can she be directly condemned to death, so that Song Wan has no room to retreat

"Besides, these characters only have one or two episodes, the characters are good, but the scenes are easy, even if you pass the audition for this movie, these characters can be squeezed out for a week to shoot them all. ”

No matter what, it will not embarrass Song Wan, let alone cast a shadow on Song Wan's external image.

The most important thing now is this hesitant movie.

"If you decide to go to an audition, then we'll get ready right away. Gao Xiang looked at Song Wan seriously, "The audition time is scheduled for next Monday." ”

Today Friday.

In total, there are only two days left for Song Wan to prepare, which is not only the time spent on the way to Hollywood.

Song Wan had no reason to hesitate, so she directly grabbed the script and began to read it.

This is a script that can be called simple to life. The story is very trivial, there are not many ups and downs, and there is even only one feeling at a cursory glance

It's boring.

But if you look closely at the details, you will find that what is hidden in it, what the screenwriter really wants to tell is a story that is warm on the surface but creepy on the inside.

The story takes place in a small town that is extremely ordinary in a foreign country.

The protagonist of the story is just a simple and enthusiastic local resident of the town, but he is alienated from the guard. In the afternoon, in front of the shops on the street, you can see ordinary grandfathers sitting at tables and chairs shrouded in the sun and eating afternoon tea, gentle but playful middle-aged female bosses in the flower shop, white-collar men who often come to buy flowers but always have a tight face, and handsome young men who lead a husky to walk back and forth on the street every day

Even the beginning of the script is just the simplest daily routine.

Song Wan's character is a college student who traveled across the ocean from Kyushu to study in a foreign country, but because he fell in love with the scenery of the town, he came to the town to open a restaurant. So far, it has been nearly six years.

The international student's name is Hu Yao, and the townspeople often affectionately call her "hu".

Whenever this happens, Hu Yao always takes the trouble to correct her neighbors who call her "my name is Yao, Hu is my surname", but they always forget it, and they still call her "Hu" the next time they meet.

However, in addition to being very stubborn about correcting his name, Hu Yao also retains the gentleness unique to Kyushu people, and he does not care much about it.

She always smiles gently at every resident who comes to dine and welcomes people into the restaurant with kindness

It can be said that from beginning to end, this is a character who is so gentle that people want to be close, but always ignores her gentleness because they are used to it.

Song Wan licked her lips: "This is a very challenging role. ”

Gao Xiang lowered the corners of her eyes, and her red lips were upturned: "It's also a role that is easy to win." ”

The two glanced at each other, tacitly understanding the meaning of each other's words.

"isssong, it's your turn" The staff said in a broken Kyushu dialect, looking at Song Wan curiously.

Song Wan immediately got up and smiled at him: "Thank you"

Push the door open and enter the audition room.

The director glanced at Song Wan, his eyes lit up, and then he lowered his head and ordered: "There is a cheongsam over there, put it on and try it." ”

Song Wan followed behind the staff without blinking and walked into the dressing room on the side.

There is a dark red satin cheongsam hanging on the wall, reaching out and touching it, the smooth and warm touch makes people's hearts flutter

This must be the finest hand-woven satin fabric, and it must be very comfortable to wear.

Looking at the workmanship of this cheongsam, the stitches are fine and exquisite, and if you don't look closely, you think that this is a whole piece of fabric cut. The tailor who made this cheongsam must be an experienced and talented master in making the cheongsam.

Such people sometimes take money, but they may not be able to get it.

Song Wan suddenly thought of filming before, and after the costume was damaged, she had to ask Jin Youqian for help, and finally reluctantly invited a national treasure-level traditional costume master who went out of the mountain to help

It can only be said that the crew is really wealthy, and they are willing to work costumes and props.

It is precisely because of this that Song Wan's heart, which was still a little worried, has completely settled down

A crew that can spend so much manpower and material resources on costumes that are not often worn by supporting roles will definitely not be shelved and stopped filming just because they can't find a suitable actor.

Because of her relaxation, when Song Wan appeared in front of everyone again, she naturally used all her skills, smiled, raised her hand and stopped perfectly, presenting the gentle and kind beautiful boss from Kyushu in the script.

She walked up to the director and others, her eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and her long, curled eyelashes cast a shadow in the light, making her eyebrows more and more gentle, and it seemed to carry a little imperceptible cowardice and gloom. Her red lips are warm, and this feeling is diluted, making her whole temperament complex and coquettish, and there is a mysterious temperament from the East, as if it can easily take away people's breath, like a demon who crawls out of the abyss to tempt and fall

Song Wan's appearance has always been impeccable. And she also understands how to use her physical advantages to add charm to the role she plays.

The director breathed a little, and slammed the table: "Cai Qi, that old guy really didn't lie to me, you are Hu Yao in my heart, no, no, no, you are Hu Yao, Hu Yao is you"

The investor sitting next to him was frightened by the director's exclamation, and when he looked at Song Wan again, he was a little more scrutinizing and covetous. But he was not so shocked by the beauty that he lost his mind after all: "Dear Smith, this is not in accordance with the rules, we should audition and let this beautiful young lady show her acting skills and let her perform, not just because of an appearance"

"Oh ~ Cruise, don't you think that Song is Hu Yao You have watched so many actors, is there an actor who is better and more mysterious than Song No, I didn't watch Hu played by Song, I woke up to the fact that other people's performances are all shit Hu Oriental witches no, their performances only let me see the bitches who are scratching their heads on the street."

Seeing that what the director said was becoming more and more unbearable, Cruise hurriedly interrupted: "Hey old man, don't forget Alyssa"

Smith opened his mouth, and finally hammered the table in annoyance: "It's not fair, she disregards the contract, regardless of our previous friendship broke the contract, why can't I scold her"

"Because she's a woman with old money," Cruise looked at him helplessly.

Smith could only keep his mouth shut, but soon he looked at Song Wan: "Song, you are simply an angel, it was a surprise from Cai Qi, I love you so much The role of Hu Yao belongs to you, and no one can take it away from you."

"Hey, hey, old man, we've said it's okay, you can't make embarrassing decisions without our consent for auditions" Cruise roared violently, "I said it was okay, the three of us will choose the actors together, you must follow our opinions, and you can't make arbitrary decisions anymore"

Smith was still reluctant and wanted to argue with reason.

"Oh, Smith, don't forget, I'm your boss," Cruise exasperated.

Smith glanced at Cruise in disappointment and sighed, "Well, I guess we'll have to listen to Anie." ”

Smith and Cruise turn their gaze to Ani, who sits in the middle but is the most overlooked, the screenwriter of the entire film.

Aini looked at Song Wan expressionlessly, ignoring the eager and explicit gazes of the two: "Start your performance, Song." ”

Her tone was so calm that people couldn't hear what impression Song Wan was.

Song Wan blinked and took a step back: "Yes, Miss Aini." ”

Ani handed her a piece of paper.

Song Wan took it over, and after opening it, she found that the clip where Ani auditioned herself turned out to be a rare climax in the whole play

Hu Yao was discovered by the male and female protagonists, and did not defend himself, but showed a gentle smile to the two as always, and then personally fried a bowl of egg fried rice for the two.

Song Wan can't cook.

In her previous life and in this life, she was so busy that she didn't have time to slowly learn how to cook, so much so that she didn't even cook a fried rice now.

But in this scene, in addition to the silent but turbulent rivalry between the male and female protagonists, the process of fried rice is also the most important.

The key is that she can't just be fried, she must also be fried well, and she must be hyped well, so that people can understand the emotions of the characters at a glance

Song Wan blinked: "Miss Aini, I think, I must have a pot." ”

She didn't expose her shortcomings, but instead reminded the screenwriter around the corner.

Ani seemed stunned for a moment, and immediately understood her mistake. She rolled her eyes, and did not directly admit her mistake, but asked Song Wan: "Do you know how to cook?"
