Chapter Eighty-Nine: Audition (Part II)
"However, if you come to me to help, Zhao Baogang shouldn't object, right?" Zhang Yuan asked with some concern.
Speaking of the relationship between Zhao Baogang and Zhang Yuan, Wang Dalun has a headache. Originally, they had a good relationship, not long ago Wang Dalun filmed "Never Look Away", and when he auditioned for the first time, Zhao Baogang also asked Zhang Yuan about his situation.
I don't know why, but it didn't take long for the two to fall out. From a friend to a ...... all at once Enemies may not be able to talk about each other, but in short, they look at each other very unpleasantly. Whenever the two of them are in front of themselves, they talk about each other's not, which always makes Wang Dalun very uncomfortable. Now it is even more so, Zhao Baogang has become his own boss, and he has given himself so much trust. Today's Zhao Baogang has a rapidly rising status in Wang Dalun's mind, and he can almost be on par with Zhang Yuan and Lao Jia.
He hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, I can make the decision about this kind of thing myself." ”
Zhang Yuan nodded, although Wang Dalun signed a contract with Zhao Baogang's company and explained the cause and effect to him afterwards, he was always a little sour in his heart. I was about to say a few bad words about Zhao Baogang and vent my anger, when I heard Wang Dalun say: "By the way, Brother Zhang, don't you have a female policeman in this play, have you found someone?"
Wang Dalun is purely looking for something to say, and deliberately diverts the topic, otherwise he will not be comfortable listening to Zhang Yuan's sour words.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuan's mind has been on this drama recently, and Wang Dalun has successfully diverted his attention.
He said: "Wang Jinhua is a person recommended to me, looking at the photo, the girl looks a little rustic, which is quite consistent with the temperament of the female prison guards in those small cities." Well, the age is also appropriate. I haven't seen anyone yet, and the girl is still filming in other places. If it does, it's her. What, do you have anyone else to recommend?"
"No, no. Wang Dalun hurriedly said: "I just asked casually." ”
While talking, Zhang Yuan's dumplings were about to be eaten with two bottles of beer, as for Wang Dalun, he had already wiped out the soup and dumplings, but he didn't see Liu Ling's shadow yet, Zhang Yuan couldn't help urging: "You call and ask, why hasn't anyone arrived yet?"
Wang Dalun looked at the time, almost half an hour had passed, there were not many roads to the Asian Games Village in the first place, and the taxi should have arrived anyway. I was about to pick up my phone and prepare to make a call, when it rang.
"I've arrived, where are you?"
"It's a dumpling restaurant diagonally across from the community. ”
"Dumpling restaurant, okay, I'll come right over. ”
After a while, I saw Liu Ling hurriedly pushing the door in from the outside. Before the meal arrived, there was a table for them in the store, and Liu Ling walked straight over.
Wang Dalun looked at it, yo! She still has a rare makeup, no wonder she has only arrived now.
"Director. Liu Ling walked over and shouted at Zhang Yuan very respectfully, as for Wang Dalun, he pretended not to see it.
Wang Dalun could only snort to show his dissatisfaction.
"Oh, Xiao Liu, sit down. Zhang Yuan asked her to sit very enthusiastically, and then said nonsensically, "Are you hungry?"
Liu Ling's brain was often insufficient, so she nodded subconsciously and said, "A little." ”
"Then eat some first, the three fresh dumplings here are good, come to three taels?" Zhang Yuan said with a smile.
"I know, director. I used to live in one piece, but three taels is too much, two taels is enough. Liu Ling said.
"Hey, since it's delicious, let's eat more, just three or two. ”
Wang Dalun was originally sitting next to him and watching coldly, but now he has heard a little bit of it, it is estimated that Zhang Yuan's play must have a scene of eating dumplings, and this thing specially asked Liu Ling to eat dumplings here, in fact, it was an audition.
However, at this time, Liu Ling was still in a state of confusion, and she didn't understand what the director meant, but since the director was very enthusiastic about inviting herself to eat dumplings, the first impression was not bad, so she gradually calmed down.
Speaking of which, she was woken up by Wang Dalun's phone call this morning, and after getting up, she was busy putting on makeup and dressing up, and she didn't eat breakfast, so she was really hungry. When the dumplings with fresh fillings were served on the table, she secretly swallowed her saliva and said a little embarrassed: "Director, will I eat it?"
"Eat, eat. ”
The more Zhang Yuan smiled, the more he held back the bad water in his stomach. Wang Dalun saw Liu Ling's stupid look, and he was secretly amused in his heart, who called that girl so arrogant just now, before she entered the cave room, she had already thrown him over the wall as a matchmaker, so he didn't bother to remind this stupid girl.
Sure enough, when Liu Ling was about to pour vinegar on the vinegar dish, Zhang Yuan hurriedly stopped her and said: "The dumplings with three fresh fillings can't be dipped in vinegar, they won't taste good when they are dipped in vinegar, and they have to be eaten to be delicious." ”
How else to say that Jiang Dehua lacks heart, if it is so clumsy, she even believed it, took a bite of the original dumpling, and nodded incessantly.
Wang Dalun knows her too well, and she didn't dare to compliment her eating appearance, so she tried her best to express her kindness at first, dividing a dumpling into several bites, chewing slowly one by one. But slowly the original form is revealed, and it may indeed be hungry, one bite at a time, and it tastes very bold.
Zhang Yuan probably wanted this effect, the smile on his face was even stronger, and he was also very interested in Liu Ling's unique way of holding chopsticks.
Ordinary people hold chopsticks with their thumb, index finger and middle finger, but Liu Ling is different, she is holding chopsticks between her thumb, middle finger and ring finger, and her index finger is raised high, and it is very low, almost to the middle of the chopsticks. It's as weird as it gets.
Liu Ling, who was eating, inadvertently looked up and found that Zhang Yuan was staring at his hand holding the chopsticks, and immediately grasped the chopsticks tightly, and said shyly: "Director, let you see and laugh." My gesture with chopsticks is a problem that I have developed since I was a child, and my mother doesn't know how many times she has told me about it, but she can't change it. ”
"Well, I can prove that. Wang Dalun couldn't help it for a long time, and said with a smile on the side.
provoked Liu Ling's eyes for a while.
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, your posture of holding chopsticks is actually very distinctive, keep this feature." ”
Liu Ling wasn't sure whether the director would comfort her or ridicule her with backwords, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else." As he spoke, he pointed to her plate and said, "It's okay, let's continue eating." ”
Liu Ling realized that there were no more dumplings left on her plate, and she hadn't eaten enough.
She bit her chopsticks and twisted them, but finally her appetite overcame her face and swept away the remaining dumplings with great speed.
"Good!"
Zhang Yuan shouted, glanced at Wang Dalun with a smile, and then looked at Liu Ling, who was surprised, nodded and said, "Okay, you are Tao Lan." ”
At this time, Liu Ling couldn't hear it anymore, it was really a stupid girl, she opened her mouth wide, and she could even see the dumplings in her mouth before she had time to swallow, and said in disbelief: "Director, I can count this as a guò?"
Before Zhang Yuan could speak, Wang Dalun rushed ahead, looked at her with disdain, and said, "Are you stupid? ”
"Yikes!"
Liu Ling jumped up from the stool happily. Who is Zhang Yuan? In the current popular phrase, he is the leader of the sixth generation of directors and the first person in Chinese independent films. If this was put more than ten years ago, it would be the same status as Chen Dadao and Zhang Dadao. What's more, the movie Zhang Yuan is currently going to make is his first movie after the ban is lifted, and he can play the female number one in Zhang Yuan's movie, how lucky he is.
"Thank you, director, thank you. ”
Now Wang Dalun finally nodded, even if she still has a conscience, she has not forgotten her matchmaker.
Zhang Yuan looked at the ponytail that flicked the back of Liu Ling's head again, and said, "Tao Lan in the play has short hair, and your hair will be cut off at that time, is there a problem?"
Liu Ling didn't even think about it, and immediately nodded and said, "No problem." ”
Of course, it's no problem, the hair is cut short, even if it's bald, it's okay, and it's a long hair for two or three years at most. But for an actor, if he misses a good movie, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
