Chapter 21: Finalizing the Male Lead

"Please, Ning Hao, your requirements are too high, or let Andy Lau play it? Really. Qin Bo said with some dissatisfaction, "You have to understand that the salary you offer for starring is only tens of thousands, not millions." ”

Ning Hao shrugged his shoulders and said: "No matter what, in short, I have to find an actor who I am satisfied with, there are not many people in my movie, and none of them can be sloppy." ”

"Ning Hao, look, how about that?" Chen Yanxi suddenly pointed to the side, only to see a mature-looking man lined up behind.

Ning Hao looked at it and saw a man in his forties, who was just about to come in, but his face looked very hesitant.

"It's him!" Ning Hao recognized that person at a glance, it was one of the actors Ning Hao needed, Guo Tao!

For Guo Tao, Ning Hao's impression is not only "Crazy Stone", but also the most memorable thing is the stone father in "Where Are You Going, Dad".

A stern and inexpressive man with deep paternal love.

The information about him in my mind came up little by little: Guo Tao, born on December 17, 1969 in SX Xi'an, is a film and television and drama actor. In 1992, he graduated from the Central Academy of Drama with a bachelor's degree in performance.

To say that Guo Tao is also a representative of his poor appearance, and his early experience is also rich, but it is a pity that he is tepid.

In 1994, he starred as a driver in "Never Lose My Love" written by Wang Shuo. It is also his earliest leading actor work, and when it comes to this movie, not many people may know about it, but when it comes to his director, everyone knows that it is Feng Xiaogang, the great director who opened the myth of future commercial films.

Later, Guo Tao also participated in the drama "Rhino in Love", which can be said to have greatly enhanced his acting skills. It's just that, so far, trapped by his appearance, he is still just a third-rate actor.

He refused today's audition itself, after all, he heard that Maverick Gallop was about to go out of business. But after reading the script, for some reason he was still moved by the role of Bao Shihong in it, and it has been a long time since he has become a protagonist, and he is not confused, he is really unwilling to be a supporting role like this for the rest of his life, maybe this is an opportunity?

So he came, huddled in a crowd.

Regarding Chen Yanxi's proposal, Qin Bo also looked at it, and then just glanced at it, and shook his head disdainfully: "Forget it, our Ning Dao's vision is high, but this person's image is not good." I see that Andy Lau is here today, and the rest of the people are gone. ”

"Gentleman, please come here." Before Qin Bo's words fell, Ning Hao pointed at Guo Tao.

"Me? Oh, good. Guo Tao didn't react a little, so he walked over.

"Hello, my name is Guo Tao, and I'm here to interview for the actor." Guo Tao smiled a little shyly, looked at Ning Hao, then at Qin Bo, and handed the resume to the latter.

"Hello Director."

Qin Bo was slightly stunned, spread his hands a little annoyed, and said, "Do you think I look like a director?" I'm not, that's the one I am. ”

After speaking, he pointed to Ning Hao on the side, and said a few words in his heart, what pot with what lid.

"What?" Guo Tao was startled, and looked at Ning Hao with a shocked face, as if he had seen some terrifying picture, and was dumbfounded: "You are the director?" No, so young. ”

"Hehe, it's him, unbelievable, right?" Qin Bo said on the side.

Looking at Guo Tao with a stunned face, Ning Hao was happy in his heart, this guy looked very honest and honest, and with this stunned expression, it really had a special comedic effect.

Guo Tao asked blankly: "Are these scripts really written by you?" ”

Ning Hao smiled: "Yes, in fact, I can't believe that I met you, because you are the most suitable candidate for the leading actor I saw today." ”

"Do you really think so?" Guo Tao was a little flattered, and then scratched the back of his head a little naively, in fact, he also felt this way for some reason in his heart, as if this role was customized for him.

"Of course, please perform a few of these scenes." Ning Hao said very seriously.

"Okay, then I'll get started." Guo Tao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and then he threw himself into the performance, obviously he had already pondered the script deeply before coming, and it was only a few seconds before he entered the state.

"Huh!" Even Qin Bo on the side has slightly bright eyes, his eyes are vicious, when Guo Tao showed that kind of natural acting skills, he began to really look at this actor, and said secretly in his heart: "It should be just a fluke, even I can't do it, how can Ning Hao, a stinky kid, see the potential of this Guo Tao at a glance." Well? It's a bit of a feeling. ”

Soon, Guo Tao finished showing several of these representative shots.

"Well, it's not bad." Ning Hao nodded, although there is still a gap with the finished film in his impression, and he lacks some layering, but it is already the feeling in Ning Hao's heart, as long as he is mentioning a little bit, it is easy to reach that level with Guo Tao's background, "Okay, it's you!" ”

Guo Tao was stunned, his breathing did speed up significantly, and suddenly he let out a "wow", excitedly, and asked in disbelief, "I was really chosen?" Is it really the male lead? ”

After getting Ning Hao's affirmative nod, Guo Tao laughed ecstatically, "Okay, okay, I'm finally able to star again." ”

Guo Tao was a little incoherent, shook hands with Ning Hao and Uncle Qin excitedly, and kept saying thank you.

In the end, he high-fived again: "Hey, I'm the leading actor!" ”

Just shouting, I found myself too excited, and when I thought of my age, I blushed a little, and signaled to Ning Hao and the others: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so happy." ”

Guo Tao looked at Ning Hao excitedly: "Director, when will we sign the contract?" ”

Ning Hao hadn't spoken yet, but Qin Bo on the side answered, "It's okay now." ”

Immediately, Qin Bo took out two contracts from his briefcase, contracts unique to the actor.

It's just that before signing the contract, Qin Bo looked at Ning Hao again: "Director, although this gentleman's acting skills also moved me, I want to warn you that the male protagonists of a blockbuster movie are usually handsome guys and good-looking, so I want to ask one last question, are you sure?" ”

"Of course." Ning Hao nodded, and then handed the contract to Guo Tao.

This film has the qualifications of screening and distribution, DVD distribution, etc., and the actors agree to the distribution of everything, and the distribution will not infringe on their rights and interests, but the copyright of the film is all Ning Hao's.

"Yes, I agree." After Guo Tao browsed it, he couldn't wait to sign his name.

Qin Bo nodded, looked at Chen Yanxi again, and knocked on the table: "Director Ning really doesn't consider giving Miss Chen a role?" ”

After Ning Hao refused again, Uncle Qin smiled a little strangely: "Miss Chen, in fact, in addition to my current job, I also have another identity, that is, a star agent." If I have my escort, as long as you get a few opportunities, I believe that with your qualifications, you can definitely soar to the sky. ”

"Please, my family Yanxi has my own script tailored for her, so I won't bother you." Ning Hao glanced at Uncle Qin.
