Chapter 15: Convincing the Two Great Bulls (2)
The dust has settled in this way.
After that, Lu Qiu invited Shi Yuzhu and Cheng Chen to dinner, which was not only a celebration, but also an obligation as a partner.
However, Shi Yuzhu and Cheng Chen obviously didn't have the heart to celebrate, and their mood was not high.
Lu Qiu also understands that even the saint cannot react without being able to share the huge profits of being taken away by others for no reason.
However, Shi Yuzhu is a very human after all, so he suppressed his unwillingness, lowered his posture and asked Lu Qiu about the operation of brain platinum.
Lu Qiu sincerely admired, you must know that he is much younger than Shi Yuzhu, and it is estimated that only Lao Shi, who has experienced failure, can have such an open-minded mind.
Lu Qiu revealed the marketing methods and inventory of Shi Yuzhu's later generations that he knew, not only that, but he also proposed the product of golden partner, which completely convinced Shi Yuzhu.
"Brain Platinum is aimed at the middle-aged and elderly market, Golden Partner is aimed at the youth market, and the concept of vitamin supplementation will never go out of style, to some extent, the life cycle of Golden Partner is longer than Brain Platinum. Brother, I'm really convinced now, fortunately I agree to your shareholding, otherwise, I'm afraid that I will lose to you in everything I do. Come, cheers, and have a great time working together. ”
"Happy cooperation, dry!"
Once a man sympathizes with each other, there is nothing that cannot be done with a drink.
The wine is dry, and you will have a good time.
Shi Yuzhu and Cheng Chen rushed to Wuxi overnight, and the brain platinum project was officially launched.
Lu Qiu went back to sleep with his head covered, and slept until nine o'clock the next day before waking up.
After waking up, I washed my face and brushed my teeth, refreshed myself, and then took the pager to read the message.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, I can't count how many messages poured out, and they were all sent by Yuan Li, and the time was last night.
"Dead Xiaolu, did you see the message, did you see the call back!"
"Dead Xiaolu, if you don't come, if you don't come, the queen won't wait for you!"
……
"Dead Xiaolu, you dare to release this queen's pigeon, this queen is not finished with you!
Obviously, last night's date was indeed Yuan Li, and this girl didn't wait for Lu Qiu, so she pouted to vent her anger.
Lu Qiu was also a little apologetic, and was about to call back to explain, when he suddenly saw the last message.
"Dead Xiao Lu, I helped you make an appointment with Director Zhao Baogang to meet at 9:30 tomorrow, don't come if you have the ability, anyway, there are a lot of people rushing to play the male number one who will never look away. ”
Lu Qiu reacted suddenly, whether co-author Yuan Li wanted to introduce him to the role, or Zhao Baogang's unobtrusive male number one in the hit drama!
Looking at the time, Lu Qiu didn't dare to delay for a second, rushed to the street to call a taxi, and urged the driver to rush to the destination as quickly as possible.
Hurry up, hurry up, and when I arrived at the destination BJ Television Arts Center, I was still half an hour late.
asked the doorman to call Zhao Baogang's office at the door, and finally he was not refused, Yuan Li came out and led him in.
Entering the office building, Yuan Li first pinched Lu Qiu, pinched out the flesh under Lu Qiu's ribs, and said viciously: "Dead Xiao Lu, release this queen's pigeon, this is the queen's reward for you!"
Lu Qiu gasped in pain, but he still felt lucky, fortunately it was here, Yuan Li had some scruples, change places, the ghost knows what this Nizi will be violent!
"There was really something last night, I didn't see the message, my fault, I apologize. Lu Qiu explained that he could feel that Yuan Li didn't know about the arrogant girl, so he didn't plan to say it.
"Hmph, I'll spare you now, and we'll settle the account after seeing Director Zhao, this matter is not over!" Yuan Li stiffened his neck, and then took Lu Qiu to see Zhao Baogang.
Walking through the corridor of the art center, Lu Qiu saw a poster of the movie blood-colored childlike innocence, which was a 95-year-old movie, but it was still pasted on the wall, starring the original actor Lu Yi, who would never look away.
Lu Qiu thought to himself: "Since I have a chance to fight for this role, I must win it no matter what!"
He walked into Zhao Baogang's office with high morale.
"Director Zhao, he is Lu Qiu. After entering the house, Yuan Li introduced it to Zhao Baogang.
Zhao Baogang, who was sitting behind the desk, was writing something on his desk, ignoring Yuan Li and Lu Qiu, as if they didn't exist.
Yuan Li was afraid that Lu Qiu would talk nonsense, so he quickly dragged him to the sofa and sat down, took the script again, handed it to Lu Qiu, and motioned him to read it quickly.
Lu Qiu flipped through the script. Although he watched the TV series that never looked blind in his previous life, and remembered it quite clearly, he felt completely different when he read the script, and now he has initially touched the door to acting, so he watched it very attentively, and kept substituting it in his heart, thinking about how to act in this scene, how to express that emotion, and gradually immersed himself in the script!
I don't know how long it took, Lu Qiu felt another pain under his ribs, and when he woke up, Yuan Li yelled at him.
Lu Qiu reacted, and sure enough, Zhao Baogang, who was working at the desk, had already stopped and looked at him expressionlessly.
"I usually don't give a chance to people who are not punctual, but Yuan Li has repeatedly recommended you, and you do excel in your appearance, I will still give you a chance, you can tell me what you think of the TV series that will never be blind, if you say it well, I will consider letting you compete for the male lead." ”
Lu Qiu was stunned, and then his brain spun rapidly.
Zhao Baogang said that it was a chance, but in fact, it was insincere, even a genius with ten lines at a glance could not read the script in a short period of time, let alone talk about ideas, he didn't want to think about himself at all.
Well, this makes Lu Qiu even more motivated, since you don't look down on me, then I'll let you lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot, Zhao Baogang, you never dreamed that your buddies are reborn, and you will never look at the people who have watched the film several times!
While Lu Qiu was thinking, Zhao Baogang was a little impatient, "Why, if you don't have any ideas, then forget it, you can leave." ”
Yuan Li couldn't help but be a little anxious, and reminded in a low voice: "Xiao Lu, you have to say something no matter what, otherwise you really won't have a chance." ”
Lu Qiu had already thought about it carefully, and he said to Zhao Baogang: "This play is very fake, so fake that it is not worth scrutinizing at all, because there are too many unreasonable places." ”
Yuan Li was stunned for a moment, and became even more anxious.
This Xiao Lu said that the idea is not a criticism, but Director Zhao wants to regard this play as a representative work of his company's pioneering works, so you can imagine how optimistic he is.
Sure enough, Zhao Baogang's face sank, and he said coldly: "Sensationalism, alarmism, you'd better give a specific reason, otherwise." ”
Needless to say, the dissatisfaction has been clearly expressed.
Lu Qiu said: "Of course, there are reasons, the most obvious is that the police should not find an ordinary sophomore as an undercover agent, which is inconceivable; In short, from the plot I've already seen, this is definitely a story with a lot of weaving marks, and I, as an audience, have a hard time believing that such a thing could happen. ”
Yuan Li was dumbfounded, originally she thought that even if Lu Qiu said it badly, she would not provoke Zhao Baogang if she followed the remedy, but she knew that this Zhao Dao started the fire and it was like the existence of the underworld boss, but after Lu Qiu finished speaking, this thing actually criticized the plot directly, how could she remedy it? What's even more outrageous is that she still thinks that what Lu Qiu said makes sense.
Well, I can only hope that Director Zhao has enough self-cultivation.
Zhao Baogang did not react violently, but said mockingly: "Since you think this script is so problematic, then why compete for the leading actor? Are you not afraid of being dragged down by this failed TV series and losing your reputation? I know that the movie you starred in has won the award of an internationally renowned film festival, so you should always cherish your feathers." ”
Lu Qiu couldn't hear the ridicule, and said calmly: "It's the credit of the director and others who won the movie award, and I, an actor who performed in a group, have never had any feathers to cherish." As for the fight for the male lead, it's because I don't think this TV series will fail, on the contrary, I think that under the control of Director Zhao, this will be a word-of-mouth drama that is popular all over the country. ”
"Yes, you have a lot of faith in me. Zhao Baogang looked disdainful, he has seen a lot of actors slapping him for the role, but Lu Qiu's sycophant skills are not as good as Erer.
Lu Qiu shook his head: "Director Zhao must think that I am complimenting you and patting you on the back, but in fact, otherwise, if you can get a role by making a sycophant, then Director Zhao will not be a big director who can shoot classic TV series such as "Desire", "Addiction", "Sunrise in the East and Rain in the West". The reason why I say this is because I know that Director Zhao does have the ability and means to make this TV series believable. ”
"Really?" Listening to Lu Qiu say a few works that he was satisfied with, Zhao Baogang felt that this kind of sycophant was quite comfortable, and his attitude eased slightly, and said: "I don't know how to solve it myself, you actually know, do you know myself better than me?"
Lu Qiu smiled faintly, "I don't know Director Zhao, but I know that Director Zhao is a director who strives for perfection, and he pays special attention to details, and this one never looks away, and the plot is full of traces, if you want the audience to ignore this, you should pay attention to details." The filming location of this drama involves almost half of China, if nothing else, I think Director Zhao will take the crew to shoot all over the country, which is definitely extremely hard and heavy filming work. I don't have anything else to say, I just want to say that as a group performer, no matter how hard it is, I have experienced it, so if I come to star in the male lead, Director Zhao doesn't have to worry about not being able to stand the bitter emotions at all, and I will do my best to play the role!"
Zhao Baogang was shocked, it was not Lu Qiu's statement that surprised him, but Lu Qiu's national framing, making the details to the extreme, that is indeed the solution to the problem of weaving traces in this drama, he also thought about it repeatedly before deciding to do this, but he didn't expect to be directly told by Lu Qiu.
Zhao Baogang looked at Lu Qiu and was impressed by this young man who he didn't pay attention to at all.
After a little hesitation, Zhao Baogang said: "What you said is quite interesting, then I'll give you a chance, now try a scene with Yuan Li, and end the scene where Ouyang Lanlan kills Xiao Tong, let me see if your acting skills are as good as your mouth kung fu." ”
Lu Qiu nodded, picked up the script and flipped to the end, and read it carefully.
Yuan Li breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Lu Qiu was so powerful, he could persuade Zhao Baogang to give him a chance like this, even if the final audition failed, she felt that Lu Qiu was proud enough.
Zhao Baogang didn't leave Lu Qiu a lot of time, and ten minutes later he urged Lu Qiu to start performing.
Lu Qiu put down the script, and Yuan Li was also ready.
There are actually a lot of characters in this scene, when Ouyang Lanlan's father and daughter were surrounded by the criminal police and cornered, Xiao Tong walked along the stairs to Ouyang Lanlan, and was shot and killed by Ouyang Lanlan.
Lu Qiu has seen the original version, and the easiest way to do it is to take it and imitate Lu Yi's state at that time, I believe it will definitely satisfy Zhao Baogang.
But Lu Qiu gave up this idea, he wanted to use his ability to perform, he wanted to see if his acting skills had improved, and how much he had improved.
And this drama is a great test of acting skills, this is the ending, it is the ending, and it is to spray out all the things that Xiao Tong and Ouyang Lanlan have experienced at this moment to meet death.
In Lu Qiu's view, the original version of Lu Yi's performance was not good, and he did not express the state of going through all kinds of humiliation, degradation and despair before finally dying calmly, he may have performed some calmness, but he couldn't act out everything that had happened, which may be the reason why Zhao Baogang made this shocking scene flash quickly.
Yuan Li had already entered the state, and she knelt on the ground, brewing emotions.
Lu Qiu closed his eyes and began to recall everything Xiao Tong had experienced in his mind. From his carefree study in college, sunny, cheerful, and bright future, to accidental blindness, and then regaining his brightness, and then incorrigibly falling in love with policewoman Ou Qingchun. Then he met Ouyang Lanlan on a blind date, and then the nightmare began, Ouyang Lanlan ruined everything for him, but her love for him was so crazy and persistent. Does he love Ouyang Lanlan? No, he hates her, he sympathizes with her, he despises her, he pities her, but there is no love!
He would ask himself, if Ouyang Lanlan hadn't conceived her own child, would everything have been able to go back to the way things were?
The answer is obvious, there is no going back to the past, he is no longer the Xiao Tong who can love Ou Qingchun, then let everything end, liberation is his only choice.
Lu Qiu slowly opened his eyes, and then a smile appeared on his face, shallow and faint. He kept such a smile, looked at Yuan Li, and said, "Lan Lan, it's over, it's over." ”
Yuan Li turned his head suddenly, his expression was fierce, his eyes were full of hatred, and he stretched out his hand to shoot, "Bang!"
Lu Qiu fell on the sofa in response, he covered his chest and gasped, but the faint smile on his face did not decrease a little, he slowly stretched out his hand, his lips opened, as if he wanted to say something, and finally stopped moving, smiling and closing his eyes.
After stopping for about a minute, Lu Qiu opened his eyes, he stood up, and saw that Yuan Li's eyes were a little strange when he looked at him, Zhao Baogang was also thoughtful, and he couldn't help but feel apprehensive, not sure how he performed, but he played the interaction with Ou Qingchun after being shot very coherently, shouldn't it be self-defeating, right?
Yuan Li gave him a thumbs up and winked his eyebrows.
Zhao Baogang finally said: "Did you think of that line yourself?"
Lu Qiu nodded, "Yes, I think Xiao Tong has that kind of emotion, and at that time, it is impossible for him to say something like persuading Ouyang Lanlan to surrender, it is meaningless." ”
In fact, what Xiao Tong said before he was shot was blurred, not only the original version, but also the original novel had no specific content, so Lu Qiu relied on his feelings, and after the emotions were brewed in place, he naturally said such a sentence, I don't know if it will be a snake to add to it, and make Zhao Baogang dissatisfied.
Fortunately, Zhao Baogang didn't say anything more, and said to Lu Qiu: "I already understand your situation, you go back first, if there is any news, I will ask Yuan Li to inform you." ”
Lu Qiu hoped that there would be a result immediately, but he also knew that he couldn't force it, so Yuan Li also signaled him to make a difference and pushed him out of the office.
Walking through the corridor and getting far away, Yuan Li said in surprise: "Okay, Xiao Lu, you are making such rapid progress, I was stupid to play Xiao Tong just now." ”
Lu Qiu heard this and said, "So I acted well?"
"It's not bad, it's great, if you want me to say, this role is none other than you!" Yuan Li looked confident in Lu Qiu.
Lu Qiu was naturally happy, but Yuan Li was not Zhao Baogang after all, he took a deep breath and said restrainedly: "I hope Director Zhao has the same opinion as you." ”
Yuan Li said: "Xiao Lu, you are too unconfident, don't look at the two people who compete with you are from a professional class, but I heard Director Zhao say that Lu Yi is not in good shape, he is fat, and he has eight feet, and if he starred, he will have to spend time transforming." Another Chen Kun, whose temperament characteristics are not in line with Xiao Tong. So I think you've got it, so you'll just wait and see. ”
Only then did Lu Qiu know that the competitor was not only Lu Yi, but also another powerful student, Chen Kun, and it was really not easy to win.
didn't say much to Yuan Li, Lu Qiu left by himself, and Yuan Li went back to find Zhao Baogang. Unlike the male protagonist, Yuan Li is the female protagonist who is certain, and she began to prepare according to Zhao Baogang's requirements early in the morning.
Back in the office, Yuan Li couldn't help but ask Zhao Baogang: "Director Zhao, what do you think of Xiao Lu?"
Zhao Baogang shook his head, not that Lu Qiu was bad, but it was a little difficult to choose.
"You also recommended a difficult problem to me, originally I decided to use Lu Yi. Zhao Baogang didn't hide it from Yuan Li.
Yuan Li thought about it and said: "Xiao Lu is definitely more suitable than Lu Yi, when I saw him die just now, I felt distressed, he has that kind of temperament, especially like Xiao Tong." ”
Zhao Baogang fell into a deep groan and did not speak.
Yuan Li didn't say more, some things are right to stop in moderation.
While waiting for the results, Lu Qiu began to suffer from gains and losses, but he was not an ordinary person after all, and he soon came to his senses and found it very funny.
In his previous life, even if he lost hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, he ignored it, but now he is just a TV series character, what can he do if he gains or loses!
The mood naturally returned to calm, and the good news seemed to come as scheduled, Yuan Li sent a message: "Xiao Lu, you are a big cow, Director Zhao is impressed by your acting skills, the role of Xiao Tong belongs to you!"
