Chapter Seventy-Eight
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Chun, who had been sitting quietly at the bottom, suddenly opened his mouth and smiled: "Chen Mo, you reject me so much, are you worried that after I play the role of captain, I will steal the limelight as a leading actor?" ”
The smile on Chen Mo's face remained unchanged, and he didn't pay attention to Xiao Chun's clumsy agitation method at all.
Yang Qindong glanced at Director Hua with a smile, then at Zhang Chu, and said: "As an actor, you shouldn't be pointing fingers at things other than acting. Moreover, the crew will have their own considerations about which artist to choose to play the role. Where do you need artists to come and do it? ”
When Yang Qindong said this, he glanced at the three members of the Xiao family meaningfully, and said straight to the point: "Since Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao intend to escort their son, they should focus on Hua Dao. I believe that with Director Hua's professionalism and dedication, if Xiao Chun is really capable of playing the role of a good captain and bringing benefits to the crew, Director Hua will not let Mingzhu be dusted. ”
After speaking, Yang Qindong straightened up and said with a smile: "It's not too early, I think I'll be here first today." I thought the food here was good, and I should have paid more attention to the guests*. I didn't expect that when we ate in the private room behind closed doors, we could make the passers-by in the corridor hear it clearly. Please forgive me for the rudeness. ”
Yang Qindong said, poured a glass of wine and saluted the representatives of the Military Department and the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda, and said with an apologetic expression.
The three members of the Xiao family didn't expect Yang Qindong to sarcastically mock everyone so sharply, and they couldn't wipe off their face for a while. Even Zhang Chu, who has always looked calm, was a little surprised.
Xiao Chun, who was not in the city enough, was even more furious, got up and asked, "Yang Qindong, what do you mean by this?" ”
Yang Qindong smiled slightly, ignoring Xiao Chun's troubles.
The representatives of the military department and the propaganda department, who had been silent, frowned slightly when they saw this.
As Zhang Chu knows, the Military Department and the Propaganda Department spent a lot of effort in preparing for the filming of this TV series. not only strives for excellence in the script, but also considers many aspects in casting. After all, the biggest significance of this TV series is to publicize conscription and gifts for the National Day, which requires actors to play roles well while not having any scandal stains. Otherwise, it is easy for the audience to associate the actor's own stain with the image of a soldier. For the military department and the propaganda department, such a consequence is absolutely unwanted.
Therefore, as a producer and investor, when selecting artists, in addition to the professionalism of the artists, more attention should be paid to the moral cultivation of the artists.
Xiao Chun has debuted for many years, and his image and acting skills are recognized by everyone, but he has made some small moves before in order to compete with Chen Mo for the male lead. Today, in order to have a meal, I have exhausted all my efforts and is thinking about it. When facing Yang Qindong's accusations, he was too impetuous and shallow.
This is still before the crew started filming, Xiao Chun was able to do so many things for one role. If this person is really allowed to join the group, then what else can he do for his own benefit during the filming period or even after the TV series is broadcast?
Faced with such an artist who lacked a sense of the overall situation, the representatives of the Military Department and the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda tacitly glanced at each other. felt that if such an actor was allowed to play the role of "captain", the crew would have to take too much risk.
Thinking of this, the representatives of the Xiao family, who were not very enthusiastic about the uninvited Xiao family, were even more indifferent.
One of them followed Yang Qindong's words and smiled: "It's really not early today. It's just a working meal, and it's about the same time. I think we'll disperse today, and if there's anything, we can communicate with each other from time to time in the future. ”
As soon as the words fell, other representatives of the military department and the propaganda department also stood up.
Seeing this, Hua Aijiang and several other assistant directors invited by the National Television Station understood that today's dinner could not be sustained, so they got up to send each other off.
Before walking out of the box, the representative of the military department also patted Chen Mo on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "In order to make it smoother for you to film, we decided to gather the main actors to train in the army for a month before the crew started filming. You don't have a problem, right? ”
When Chen Mo heard this, he gave a very standard military salute to the representative of the military department, and said with a smile: "Please rest assured that the superior leaders are on standby at any time to ensure the completion of the task." ”
Greedy wolf is the code name given to himself by the actor Ye Feng after he was admitted to the special combat team. At this time, Chen Mo answered the questions of the military representatives in the name of the actor Ye Feng, which once again deepened everyone's impression of Chen Mo as the male protagonist.
The representative of the military department who had just talked to Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction, pointed to Chen Mo's movements and said, "This military salute is very standard. It seems that I have practiced. ”
Chen Mo smiled slightly, and said, "I am also learning and selling now." In order to better figure out the role, I have to follow my classmates and experience what a real soldier is like. ”
The representatives of the Military Department and the Propaganda Department immediately understood Chen Mo's words, and thinking of the children of the military general's family who were admitted to the Academy of Literature this year, several representatives tacitly hooked the corners of their mouths, patted Chen Mo's shoulder and said, "You are a person with a heart." In this way, we can feel more at ease. ”
After Chen Mo sent several representatives of the General Department and the Propaganda Department away one by one, he exchanged a few words of greetings with Director Hua and several assistant directors of the National Television, and then got in the car and left.
The three members of the Xiao family originally wanted to take this opportunity to cling to the people from the Military Department and the Propaganda Department, but they didn't expect Yang Qindong to provoke everyone to be upset in a few words. Not only did he fail to show his face in front of several nobles, but I am afraid that even the role of "captain" will be lost.
Xiao Chunqi, who had always wanted to compete with Chen Mo but was at a disadvantage again and again, had a crooked face. Looking at the nanny car that gradually disappeared on the road, Xiao Chun's face turned pale. Xiao Chun, who could barely endure until his family of three returned to the car, couldn't swallow this breath anymore, couldn't help but "phew", and scolded: "Isn't it just a play of kneeling and licking the children of the family to sell farts and stocks, I really think I am something." If he hadn't served well in the Academy of Literature and coaxed those children of the family to be happy, the Military Department and the Propaganda Department would have been able to give him Ye Feng's role? Dream on. ”
Xiao Chun's father also secretly hated Yang Qindong for acting in obstruction, and he failed to get on the line with the representatives of the Military Department and the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda. After listening to his son's words, he also echoed hatefully: "Do you really think that our Xiao family is a soft persimmon?" They want to eat meat, and they don't even give us soup, which is too desperate. ”
When Xiao Chun heard his father's words, he thought of the representatives of the military department and the propaganda department who had not taken much care of his family at the dinner just now, and he couldn't help but be upset. opened his mouth and asked Zhang Chudao: "Mom, do you think I can get the role of captain?" ”
Zhang Chu's face was gloomy, his eyes were fierce, and he had long lost the charm he had when he was in front of people. Hearing his son's words, Zhang Chu sneered again and again, and said, "Chen Mo has a sentence that is very right. The crew is so big, and many things are not something that he can say as a small actor. Isn't it just a role, we don't have the support of the military department and the propaganda department, but there are directors and producers. Son, don't worry, your mother and I have been in the circle for so long, don't dare to say anything else, these heads of the national station still have to give me three points of face. After so many years of friendship, I don't believe that I gave up this old face to beg for it, and they didn't even give me a role. ”
After speaking, Zhang Chu hatefully instructed Xiao Chun: "You also fight for a little anger." This time filming with Chen Mo, you must overpower his limelight. also made him understand the rules of the circle, no matter how many people he knows, if he wants to create a classic character on the screen, he has to use his acting skills to speak in the end. ”
One sentence aroused Xiao Chun's heart. New hatred and old hatred came together, Xiao Chun gritted his teeth and said, "Mom, you can rest assured." As long as I have the opportunity to play the role of captain, I will definitely not be able to hold Chen Mo up. ”
He doesn't believe it, he has been in the circle for so many years, he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he is still an authentic professional, if he really starts a drama and doesn't overwhelm the little newcomer who has just debuted for a year, he is not surnamed Xiao!
Chen Mo, who was sitting in the nanny's car, sneezed twice in succession. Seeing this, Yang Qindong couldn't help but laugh and said: "After thinking about it, Bao Zhun'er is the group of people from the Xiao family who scolded behind his back, do you believe it or not?" ”
Chen Mo sneered, and said nonchalantly: "If they want to scold, they should scold you, if you didn't say too harshly, maybe they would still be pushing the cup and changing the lamp with the nobles at this time, where would they have the time to scold me?" ”
"Blame me?" Yang Qindong glanced at Chen Mo obliquely, and said in Chen Mo's tone: "There are always flies buzzing when eating, if you don't shoot it to death, are you still waiting for the wine to be served?" ”
Chen Mo shook his head with a smile and said thoughtfully: "You're right, although flies are not lethal, they are close enough to meet people's needs. Especially this fly likes to think about the same dish as you......"
Chen Mo said, turned his head to Yang Qindong and said, "Although the role of captain is not the leading actor, the role is very good. Do you think there is anyone in our company who is suitable for this role? "The most important thing is that his fame and acting skills can be on par with Xiao Chun.
Yang Qindong glanced at Chen Mo with a little surprise, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You're not, right?" ”
"I am." Chen Mo said with a smile: "It makes no sense that people gave me all the war books, but I didn't accept them." Doesn't he want to compete with me, in that case, what kind of captain is he playing, the character design is too inconsistent. ”
“…… Besides, our company has signed so many artists, known as half of the star-studded entertainment industry, and now the national station is going to shoot a National Day gift masterpiece, but I am the only one to play the leading role, how can I have the face to call myself the best brokerage company in China with such a shudder? Of course, you have to work harder. ”
“…… The heroine, I heard that the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda wants to support the people of their own art troupe, so we don't dare to rob them. For a role like the captain who doesn't have many scenes but has an important personality, I think I can still fight for it again. You pick one of the ones in our company that echoes the image, and it's best to have acted in martial arts, we can't set the role, and ask the crew to give a chance to audition, it's not too much. ”
Chen Mo said, suddenly thought of something, and said to Xiao Ding, who was driving in front: "Send me to the Mu Group." ”
Yang Qindong looked at Chen Mo's youthful appearance after saying this, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
All the way to the headquarters building of M Moser Group, Chen Mo, who was wearing the uniform of the Sharp Knife Team, got out of the car and strode into the building.
A tall figure in camouflage and sunglasses entered the lobby with a blank face, and the passing M Moser employees were collectively startled.
Chen Mo walked to the front of the president's special elevator and went straight to the top office. Ignoring the dumbfounded and stunned appearance of the assistants and secretaries, he pushed open the brown-red door of the president's office and locked it.
Mu Yu, who was immersed in reviewing the text, looked up when he heard the voice, and saw that Chen Mo, who was wearing a combat uniform, had already walked in front of him with long legs, one leg knelt domineeringly between Mu Yu's legs, and pressed Mu Yu's shoulders with both hands, Chen Mo didn't even take off his sunglasses, and said with a serious face: "Don't move." ”
"You've been completely controlled by me!"
