37. Auditions
The dragonfly touched Du Yan's lips with a little water, and Gu Chen smiled and pulled away, "Okay." ”
Du Yan froze in place, and before he could react from the shock of Gu Chen kissing him, he found that the hiccups had stopped.
"Okay?" Reaching out and touching his lips, Du Yan raised his head and looked at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen smiled, took the sunglasses cap from the side and buttoned it up for him, and said with a smile by the way, "The fright treatment method seems to be quite effective." ”
Du Yanyi: ""
After eating, the little girl in the cute uniform came in and asked the low table to be removed and replaced with two pale yellow tatami mats.
"The view in the front yard is good, and the two gentlemen can enjoy the night view with a cup of tea."
Gu Chen raised his wrist and looked at the time, "No need, check out." ”
Walking through the flowing water courtyard with a garden, Assistant Li had already parked the car in front of the Japanese restaurant.
"Go back to Jiang Tiannanyuan."
Hearing Gu Chen's voice instructing Assistant Li, Du Yan quickly came back to his senses and hurriedly spoke, "Just send me back to the crew, Assistant Yang will come to pick me up tomorrow morning." ”
Gu Chen turned his head to look at him, and said gently: "Let her come to the house tomorrow to pick her up, this place is closer to Jiangtian Nanyuan, go back early, and rest early." ”
Du Yan thought about it for a while, and thought it was okay, tomorrow he would not film and would swing out of the crew, and Director Chen saw that he didn't say anything, and he must have made another stroke in his heart.
"Okay."
Du Yanyi nodded obediently, and the smile in Gu Chen's eyes flashed.
"Alright, let's go."
With the experience when he came in, it was much more convenient when he went back, and Assistant Li drove to the villa area of Jiangtian Nanyuan not long after.
Parking the car in front of the door, Gu Chen and Du Yan got out of the car and went home, Assistant Li sent the Wen Jiàn in the car into Gu Chen's study and went back from work, and the huge villa suddenly left only Gu Chen and Du Yan and one or two people.
"I asked Mother Liu to warm the milk for you in the kitchen, and then went upstairs to take a shower and sleep after drinking." Gu Chen took off his coat and hung his arms, turned his head and flicked Du Yanyi's forehead and admonished.
"Hmm."
Du Yan lowered his eyes and nodded, Gu Chen bent the corner of his eyes, turned around and went upstairs.
ran into the kitchen to take out the milk, and Du Yan remembered that he had already eaten it. Looking at the warm milk in the glass, Du Yan paused, and put it back in the refrigerator openly
Gu Chen went upstairs and entered the study, probably looking at the few copies of the text that Assistant Li had just taken, Du Yanyi stopped downstairs for a while, and then followed upstairs and turned around and entered the bedroom.
After taking a shower, the sleepiness was not very strong, thinking of tomorrow's audition, Du Yanyi couldn't help but pull out the script sent by Yang Xiao's assistant, and read it carefully on the bed a few times.
In order to let the actors better understand the characters, the script sent by Guan Lao is a complete set, and after Du Yan read the whole book, Assistant Yang took out all the parts of the male protagonist and rearranged them into a booklet for Du Yanyi to think carefully.
Guan Lao and his wife have lived abroad for many years, although they have done a lot of research and analysis on the domestic film market after returning to China, they still dare not directly invest in something too big at the beginning.
On the one hand, he can't invest rashly, and on the other hand, he doesn't want to waste the howl of his 'first work' after returning to China, so Guan Lao is very conservative and chooses a script that conforms to the aesthetics of domestic films in the near future to test the waters.
This is the reason why he dared to use a newcomer who was almost not famous in his first work just after returning to China.
In the domestic film market, in the past two years, one is the first love on campus in the old category, and the other is a nonsensical comedy film in the hilarious category.
Guan Lao wants to cater to the market, but he can't be completely swayed by the market, and more importantly, he wants to use this test film to lay an audience foundation for his next suspenseful sci-fi play!
So this time he took a different path and chose a future interstellar drama that was more biased towards the main drama.
The protagonist is the youngest son of the Federal Marshal, with a warm personality and weak body, and was sent to a distant small planet by the Marshal for family reasons since he was a child, and later the Marshal was framed by the Federal Government, and the Marshal's Mansion was forcibly bombed, and the protagonist has since embarked on a road of revenge, and finally cooperated with the private army left by the old Marshal to overthrow the ** Federal Government and establish a new imperial era.
The theme of the story is not new, but it is rarely filmed in the film market, and if the response is good, Guan Lao's next suspense sci-fi will enter the preparatory stage immediately after the end of this period.
Holding the booklet, Du Yanyi carefully figured out the growth of the protagonist in the play, from youth to maturity, from a pampered weak young master, to an imperial iron-blooded monarch who decisively controls the power of life and death.
Once the time passed, when Gu Chen came in after dealing with the text, Du Yanyi had already fallen asleep on the bed with the script in his hand.
Raising Du Yanyi's hand and pulling out the crumpled script, Gu Chen pulled the thin quilt over and covered him, Du Yanyi grunted from his throat, turned around, and opened his eyes half-asleep,
Looking at his misty eyes, Gu Chen smiled and reached out to pat him behind his back, "It's okay, sleep, right?" ”
"Hmm." Du Yan rubbed the pillow and closed his eyes again.
Gu Chen smiled and scratched his beautiful chin, put down the script and got up to go to the bathroom to wash.
The next day, when Assistant Yang came to pick up people, Du Yanyi hadn't gotten up yet.
Greeting Gu Chen, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, Assistant Yang said cautiously, "What about Jin'an?" ”
"Not awake yet."
Gu Chen closed the newspaper, Liu's mother came out of the kitchen with breakfast, looked at Assistant Yang and smiled, "Hey, who is this?" ”
"Ann's assistant."
Gu Chen put down the newspaper and introduced the sentence, and Assistant Yang hurriedly stood up straight and said hello, "Hello, Auntie." ”
"Hello, hello!" Mother Liu smiled and stepped forward to put the breakfast in her hand on the table, picked up her apron and wiped her hands, looked at Assistant Yang and said with a smile, "Come to find Mr. Qiao, I'll go up and help you call." ”
"I'll go," Gu Chen interrupted Liu's mother, "You help Xiao Yang prepare a breakfast and sit down to eat together." ”
"Okay!"
Mother Liu nodded, turned around with a smile and went into the kitchen again, "What does Xiao Yang usually like to eat for breakfast?" How about custard? ”
"Huh? All of them! ”
Assistant Yang stretched his neck and answered the kitchen, Gu Chen smiled and pointed to the seat next to the dining table, "Sit down and wait, I'll go and call Xiao An down." ”
"Good"
Assistant Yang responded in a daze, and Gu Chen got up and went upstairs.
In the bedroom, Du Yanyi was still sleeping soundly, Gu Chen went in and pinched his face without waking up, grunted, twisted his body, and got into the quilt again.
Gu Chen smiled, went into the bathroom and put a warm towel out to press his face, Du Yan breathed a breath, and immediately woke up in a daze.
"Go to the old man in the morning to audition, don't be late."
Gu Chen took away the towel, Du Yan yawned and sat up, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and said, "No, it won't start until ten o'clock." ”
As soon as he woke up in the morning, his brain was still a little unconscious, and his voice was soft and glutinous, Gu Chen raised his hand and rubbed his upturned forehead, and said with a smile: "The audition started at ten o'clock, and you have to change your clothes and makeup before, have you forgotten?" ”
"Nope"
Under Gu Chen's supervision, Du Yan rubbed his eyes, and helplessly lifted the quilt and got out of bed to wash.
After going downstairs for breakfast, Du Yanyi followed Assistant Yang to the hall on the third floor of Chengde Building to participate in the audition.
Seeing that the two of them were packing up and about to leave, Gu Chen put down the text and looked at Du Yan: "Wait over there for a while, I'll ask Assistant Li to pick you up." ”
"Huh?" Du Yan looked at him suspiciously.
Gu Chen smiled, "Let's go to the audition first." ”
Seeing that he didn't mean to continue, Du Yan was depressed in his heart, so he went out with Assistant Yang.
When I arrived at the audition site, there were already a lot of people, a small stage was set up in the center of the hall, and a row of tables and chairs were placed in front of the stage, which looked like a simple judging seat, and a person was sitting on the leftmost chair, looking down at something.
When Du Yanyi took Assistant Yang in, Guan Lao was standing next to the judges' bench talking to the staff, and when he saw Du Yanyi coming, he smiled and beckoned to him.
"Here we are."
"Hmm," Du Yan stepped forward and greeted Guan Lao respectfully.
"Have you finished reading the script? Can you handle this character? ”
Du Yanyi nodded modestly, "I've finished reading the script, but my understanding of the characters may not be thorough enough." ”
Guan Lao smiled kindly, "It's okay, it's only been a few days, don't worry." ”
The audition at 10 o'clock in the morning was for the play of the male and female protagonists, Du Yan arrived early, and the other actors who received the audition notice had not yet come, and even the judges only came Guan Lao and the middle-aged man who was sitting on the judges' seat and looking through the text.
After briefly asking a few words about Du Yanyi's understanding of the characters, Guan Lao decided to let him audition in advance, he was originally very satisfied with Qiao Jin'an's shell, and today because of his early arrival, Guan Lao's impression of this well-behaved and beautiful young man was even better.
After simply clearing the area around the small stage, Guan Lao asked Du Yanyi to select the scene by himself and went up to audition.
The protagonist is the youngest son of the Federal Marshal, and there are two most typical states in the whole play.
One is the image of a gentle rich young master who was delicate and frail before the Marshal's Mansion was bombed, and the other is the image of a ruthless and calm emperor after his family was ruined and struggling to establish an empire.
Guan Lao had seen Qiao Jin'an's previous works before, and thought that he would choose one of these two images for audition, but when the director's assistant handed him the excerpt script that Du Yanyi had picked, Guan Lao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Looking up at the back of the man who turned around and walked to the stage, Guan Lao was not only satisfied with his appearance before, but also looked forward to his acting skills
Standing on the edge of the stage, he took the water bottle handed by Yang Xiao's assistant and moistened his mouth, and Du Yan buttoned the bottle cap and handed it to her.
"Come on!"
Assistant Yang took the mineral water bottle, looked at him excitedly clenched his fists and shouted quietly.
Du Yanyi smiled at her, turned around and walked towards the center of the stage.
