Zhao Baogang's play, starring Yuan Li, Wang Dalun knew what kind of drama it was when he heard it. In his last life, he met Yuan Li in this play, and he is still very impressed.

In the late 90s and early new century, this drama was definitely among the top three on the domestic screen, and it was popular with several young actors, including Yuan Li, at that time.

The role that Yuan Li introduced to him was a gangster named Jianjun, and there were not many scenes, only dozens of scenes, which were only three or four episodes. Originally, it didn't matter if there were more plays or fewer plays, it was a great honor to be able to participate in the play directed by Zhao Baogang. But the problem is that you have to go to more than a dozen cities to shoot this film, and the time span of filming is quite long, and it takes more than two months just to run outside. At first, he was a little hesitant, but considering Yuan Li's kind face, he still agreed to give it a try.

At nine o'clock in the evening of this day, according to the appointed time, Wang Dalun came to the seafood restaurant of a special local tyrant in Chaoyang. The lobby is large, brightly lit and full of people, and there is a big stage in the middle. Wang Dalun originally thought that the business of this hotel was really good, and there were so many people. As a result, when I got closer, I found that there was no food on the table at all, and these people were all extras.

The person who received him was an assistant director, who introduced himself as Sha Jie. Sha Jie told him to wait for a while, and the director was filming in a private room at this time.

As a result, I waited until twelve o'clock and didn't see the director come out, and I saw actors coming in and out from time to time, and several of them were quite familiar. I didn't see Yuan Li either, and Sha Jie, the assistant director who received him, was busy directing the camera to shoot in the lobby at this time, and he was too embarrassed to come forward to disturb, so he could only wait.

I waited for more than half an hour before I saw a large group of people coming out of the private room area inside. Wang Dalun didn't know Zhao Baogang, but saw a middle-aged man surrounded by several actors, including Yuan Li, and it was estimated that this was probably the director.

The director danced and talked to several directors separately, and directed the camera position in the lobby. At this time, Yuan Li, who had just vacated the space, also found Wang Dalun standing on the periphery, and hurriedly walked over.

"Have you waited for a long time?" Yuan Li looked a little tired, but she was in good spirits, and she was a lot fatter than when she was filming "Thunderstorm".

"It's not too long, thank you, Sister Yuan Li. Although he had already thanked him on the phone, Wang Dalun still thanked Yuan Li in person when they met.

Yuan Li waved her hand and said: "It's okay, you're welcome, I just helped recommend it, and in the end the director has to decide, let me tell you, don't look at this role is small, the director attaches great importance to it, I have tried several before, and the director is not satisfied." As she spoke, she smiled again, "But I'm sure you can do it." ”

Because everyone is a fellow villager, the two naturally speak Hangzhou dialect when chatting. Listening to Yuan Li say that today's filming was not smooth, several scenes in the private room were shot over and over again, but the director still didn't seem to be satisfied. At the same time, he also specially told him that the director was not in a good mood today, and asked him to be a little more careful when he auditioned later.

As the heroine, Yuan Li has a lot of shots today, and she was called by the assistant director Sha Jie to prepare for filming after chatting for a long time. The director didn't call, Wang Dalun could only continue to wait, standing aside and watching the filming.

The scenes in the lobby are very miscellaneous, most of them are cutscenes, there are few dialogues, and the actors have to change their clothes over and over again, and they will have to be edited to different time periods in the future.

It wasn't until almost three o'clock in the morning that the director finally called him. It's been almost six hours since I waited for nine o'clock last night. It was the first time Wang Dalun had encountered this kind of thing, even if he had not waited so long when he had been playing tricks before.

But he still followed Sha Jie to the director very honestly. Zhao Baogang was sitting on a sofa, looking down and flipping through the script.

"Director, this is Wang Dalun. Sha Jie introduced.

"Hello, director. Wang Dalun hurriedly followed and said hello.

Zhao Baogang waited for a while before raising his head, did not speak, looked him up and down with a critical gaze, seemed not very satisfied, and said to himself: "Be honest." ”

Wang Dalun was very embarrassed, he didn't know how to pick it up, and he heard the director ask: "Are you wearing a watch?"

"I didn't wear it. ”

After speaking, I heard the director shouting in a loud voice: "Props, give him a watch, ask for a gold watch." ”

A bespectacled brother hurriedly answered and sent over a yellow watch. He took a look, and the pointer was gone, and it was clearly a bad one.

Then the assistant director Sha Jie gave him a note, with a few words on it, saying that Jianjun was standing in the lobby with his back to the camera and watching the performance on the stage, and the boss Ouyang Tian came over and asked him, "Is it arranged?"

Jun replied: "It's arranged, I'll leave immediately." ”

"It's better to drive to the route we're going to take and see if the road has changed." ”

Jun replied: "Hey!"

Just these two lines, Wang Dalun has not read the script, he doesn't know the cause and effect, and he wants to ask Sha Jie again, but he heard the director shouting: "Are you ready?"

When he looked back, the camera had already turned to him, and Mr. Qian Yongfu, who played Ouyang Tian, was also ready. He didn't have time to think about it, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "I'm ready." ”

Although he can't figure out the cause and effect, as far as these two lines are not counted, Wang Dalun estimates that he should have no problem coping with the past.

Because the Jianjun he played is a thug, and just now the director said that his face was too honest. Wang Dalun deliberately tightened his face, and although he turned his back to the camera, he still focused his gaze a little bit, making his eyes sharper. With his legs slightly spread apart, his hands on his chest, and his waist straight, he watched a buddy singing on the stage in the center of the lobby.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Qian Yongfu entered the mirror from behind, walked to his side, and naturally put his hands behind his back. Wang Dalun turned around slowly, he only knew that Ouyang Tian was the boss, but he didn't know the position between the two very clearly, and just as Qian Yongfu was waiting for him to speak, he heard the director shouting loudly: "Card!"

Wang Dalun immediately realized that the problem must be with him, but what made him awkward was that he didn't know where he had gone wrong.

This doesn't work, you still have to ask Sha Jie for clarification, otherwise you won't be able to act at all.

When he was just taking a step and was about to walk towards Sha Jie, he heard the director ask: "Who is that, Wang Dalun, you wait a while, let me ask you, where did you graduate, have you ever studied acting?"

He could hear the dissatisfaction in the director's words, but he didn't taste it carefully, and subconsciously replied: "I graduated from the acting department of the film academy, and I have studied acting and directing." ”

"No, you're from another department, are you from the acting department, are you from the stage art department?"

Now Wang Dalun finally understood that the director was humiliating himself for not being able to act, and he was suddenly unconvinced. Just kidding, Lao Tzu just came back from the Berlin Film Festival two months ago, and Lao Tzu is from the stage art department?

Just when he couldn't stop slandering, he heard Zhao Baogang roaring: "You are a thug, a bodyguard, how can you be bigger than Teacher Qian Yongfu, and you still hold your hands, are you the boss or is he the boss?"

Although the words were ugly, Wang Dalun still realized that his reaction just now was indeed a little slower, and when he saw the boss, he should immediately put his hand down and listen to the boss's instructions. But it's not that I don't understand the situation yet, and I haven't had time to get into the state yet.

But I can't say this, and saying it is tantamount to openly challenging the director's authority. In this circle, Zhao Baogang's status is obvious, Wang Dalun will not be stupid enough to take the initiative to offend him, not to mention that there is a problem with his own acting.

Saying that, Zhao Baogang roared like this, and the entire lobby was suddenly silent, and they all focused their eyes here.

"Smack!" I saw Zhao Baogang slam the notebook in his hand on the coffee table, and shouted: "I can't shoot this scene today, I won't shoot it!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked inside.

The whole hall was silent for a full minute, everyone looked at Wang Dalun's gaze with some sympathy, and those who are familiar with the director generally know in their hearts that the director is in a bad mood today, and this newcomer is also unlucky, and he just hit the muzzle.

Wang Dalun couldn't laugh or cry, he was not afraid of losing face, but he felt that the experience of today's whole night was too strange, he first waited for six hours, and then started filming without any preparation, NG once attracted the director's cynicism and anger.

Wang Dalun is not the kind of person who has to go to the drama in order to become famous, he is filming completely to make a living. Originally, he could have left, but he was a little reluctant before, just dozens of scenes, more than two months, and he had to run around all over the world, and the girl didn't have time to take care of her when she came back from filming. But Zhao Baogang said that he couldn't act, so he was very unconvinced, and he had to let him take a good look at whether he was from the acting department or the stage art department.

But it backfired, he didn't leave, and the prop guy with glasses walked up to him, didn't speak, and stretched out his hand.

"What are you doing?" asked Wang Dalun.

The glasses guy didn't squeak, and still spread his hands in front of him.

"I said buddy, what do you mean?"

The glasses guy rolled his eyes, and squeezed out a sentence in pain: "Dude, give me your props and watches, you have to leave in a while." ”

Only then did Wang Dalun understand that if he didn't leave, his lover would drive him away. He didn't say anything immediately, took off his watch and returned it to the glasses guy. looked around again, but didn't find Yuan Li's figure, maybe she went to remove her makeup or rest after the play just now. He didn't go to say goodbye to Yuan Li again, so he said hello to the assistant director Sha Jie and the teacher Qian Yongfu who was playing the opposite role just now, and got out of the way.
