Chapter 40: The Eunuch
After receiving the information, Di Yun was very hesitant, he actually didn't want to go.
There are many reasons: one is that I am in love, I don't want to delay more time, and I always want to go back to live a life when I am not ashamed or impatient; Another is that there are 30,000 yuan in the bank, and more than 7,000 yuan in the Water Margin, plus 40,000 yuan, if you don't have any particularly large expenses, you can spend it until graduation, and there is no financial pressure; There is also the fact that I just finished filming the Water Margin and then filmed again, so I was in a hurry, so there was no need to exhaust myself like a dog.
However, as soon as we had dinner together today, people will introduce you to a play, whether it is the favor of the seniors to bring the juniors or the return of the cigarette, it is always full of kindness, I really don't know how to refuse.
I hesitated, so I got up and put on my clothes, and found a phone at the front desk of the hotel to call my girlfriend and ask for her opinion.
My girlfriend didn't give a specific plan, but only asked: Didn't you say that you want to buy a car early, and when are you going to buy it? Do you want me to help?
Some time ago, the weather in the capital was not very good, and the wind and sand were very strong. Riding a bicycle with a girlfriend is romantic, but it is inevitable to be blown into disgrace. He inadvertently sighed: "When to buy a car, it's good to sit in it without the sun and the wind, how comfortable." Unexpectedly, my girlfriend remembered this.
After hanging up the phone, Di Yun took off his hat and touched the short hair on his head that seemed to never grow long, and sighed: "Yes, continue to make money." "Having a girlfriend who makes more money than you can sometimes be stressful.
Early the next morning, I didn't bother to take the bus to look for it slowly, so I called a taxi and pulled it directly to the ground.
Chang'an Film Studio was established in 58 years and is one of the four major groups with the earliest film industry layout in the country. There have been a lot of films produced over the years, and the most famous ones are "Red Sorghum" directed by Lao Mouzi in 87 and "Farewell My Concubine" directed by Chen Kaige in 93.
The former won the Golden Bear at the 38th Berlin Film Festival. The latter seems to be even more hanging, not only won the Palme d'Or at the 46th Cannes Film Festival in France, but also entered the Oscar in the United States, which has been brilliant for a long time.
Di Yun didn't know this, and even if he did, he wouldn't care too much, because these really had nothing to do with him.
was led in by Jiang Wen, and first explained the film to him.
The movie is called "Song of Qin", which is set in the background of Qin Shi Huang's unification of the six countries, but it tells the complex and tortuous love story between Qin Shi Huang's childhood friend Gao Yanli and his daughter Princess Liyang.
The leading actor definitely doesn't have his share, just the servants who had dinner together yesterday. Jiang Wen plays the role of Emperor Qin, Ge You plays Gao gradually leaving, and Xu Qing is naturally the princess of Liyang.
Jiang Wen made him look at the roster of the characters and said: "Among the remaining roles, the ones with more scenes are Wang Ben, the son of Wang Qian, and Zhao Gao, the eunuch next to Emperor Qin. You look at that one is more appropriate. ”
Di Yun took Wang Ben and Zhao Gao's script and read it roughly, and slowly figured it out in his heart.
Wang Ben plays the image of a reckless man, with a low IQ and tragedy. The daughter-in-law of Liyang, who did not pass through the door, was gradually left by Gao and fell asleep, making it known to the whole dynasty, and finally took Liyang under the strong interference of Yingzheng, but on the day of marrying back, he buttoned it up and dug it up. Yin and milk cutting, of course, are in the case of oak yang committing suicide first. attracted Li Si and Zhao Gao to join forces to cut the Wang family in half.
Zhao Gao was even more ruthless, he was in Qin and his heart was in Zhao, and he personally cultivated a second and dug the foundation of the empire. not only encouraged Gao to gradually leave the assassination of Yingzheng, but also instilled in the second emperor the idea of killing other brothers and sisters.
Compared with Wang Ben, who has a simple language and basically doesn't need much acting skills, Di Yun prefers this Zhao Gao, who is rich in inner activities, interesting in language, and has some tension in his performance.
"It's still Zhao Gao." Di Yun said.
"Haha, I really didn't misread you." Jiang Wen said with a smile.
"Huh?"
"I guess you'll choose Zhao Gao too."
Di Yun didn't know why, and asked, "Why?" ”
Jiang Wen hugged his chest with one hand and his chin with the other, leaned back to look at him and said, "You look at it, it's quite masculine, but I just think you can perform Zhao Gao's feminine and vicious, this is intuition." ”
"Uh..."Di Yun complained in his heart, "I have the temperament of a eunuch so much? ”
"Okay, you've decided, let's go see the director." Jiang Wen waved his hand and said.
"I thought it was you casting." Di Yun touched his nose, and he had to meet the director for a long time to decide.
Jiang Wen said with a smile: "This film is not directed by me, and I definitely don't have the right to cast, but I still have a little face, and it is not a problem to recommend an actor." ”
That's not a big deal. He is not only an excellent actor but also a director with good ability, participated in Red Sorghum as an actor and won an award. The first film "Sunny Days" was nominated for the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, the Best Director of the Taiwan Golden Horse Award, and also created the youngest actor in history. The box office directly won 50 million.
So he is not so famous in the circle that he dares to say this.
Originally, director Zhou Xiaowen was going to find an older actor to play Zhao Gao, but considering that this film has a large time span, it can't be Zhao Gao's youth for decades, young actors can make up and paint old, but old actors can't paint young, so it was decided to use a young actor.
When I saw Di Yun for the first time, I was not very satisfied, the masculinity was too heavy, and there was a lack of femininity. But the person brought over by Jiang Wen always had to give a few points of face, so he asked him to go down to try it out and come out to have a look.
This is probably the meaning of going through the motions, but I didn't expect Di Yun to let a few people take a light breath when he came out after changing his outfit.
Although the eunuchs of the Qin and Han dynasties were incomplete and somewhat feminine, they generally still had some of the unique sharp and sharp style of that era, unlike the later dynasties that completely became soft-boned slaves.
Di Yun wore a tall hat like a cook, a long robe, a slight waist, his hands on his abdomen, and half-closed eyes, and walked in slowly. Out of thin air, there was a little more feminine and vicious aura. Tall, but low-key and forbearing.
Who said that a eunuch must take a whisk and bend his waist to the ground?
Zhou Xiaowen's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt that the eunuchs who were following the majestic and domineering Qin Shi Huang had to be like this, they couldn't be too feminine, and they couldn't be spineless, otherwise how could they get into Qin Shi Huang's eyes.
He raised his hand and asked, "Have you read the script?" ”
"I've seen it..."
Di Yun's makeup is a little older, and there are a few lines at the corners of his eyes, looking deeper than his thirties, and his smile is wrinkled. The light on his eyes was gone, and he couldn't see the depth. These three words are also heartfelt, thanks to the constant entanglement of the makeup artist Liu Ruyan a few days ago, so that he learned a trace of charm, suppressed his throat, his voice was not loud, but slightly hoarse.
Everyone listened to it with a cleverness, and their scalps were a little itchy.
Jiang Wen stood up and said, "Then I'll play with you." ”
One is Qin Shi Huang, the other is the personal eunuch Zhao Gao, Di Yun has the most rivalry with him in the play.
Jiang Wen thought for a while and sat back in his chair, and said, "From today onwards, all the languages of all countries will be abolished, including the dying Qi State, and the entire world will uniformly use the Qin State's script. ”
After a pause, he continued: "After unifying the text, the first edict I will write is to accept Gao gradually leaving as the Qin State Great Le Fu Order. ”
……
This edict was collectively opposed by the ministers, and Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Zhao Gao next to him with a slight unnaturalness.
"Zhao Gao, what do you think?"
"I ......"
Di Yun opened his mouth and froze.
He only read the script roughly once, and he remembered what Zhao Gao said in this scene, and was embarrassed under the gaze of several pairs of eyes.
Scratching his head, he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't remember the lines." ”
Zhou Xiaowen waved his hand disappreciably and said, "Then you can tell me what you remember." ”
Di Yun thought about it, and what impressed him the most was what Zhao Gao said to the second, and he prepared for a while with a straight expression.
The presumably scene is Zhao Gao accompanying the second and a little eunuch playing games. After losing, the second said: "Lost again, don't play." You eggless people are too smart. ”
Di Yun coughed his throat, knelt on the ground, glanced at it slightly, made a full expression, and then said: "I only have one brother, he cut off my eggs, you prince has dozens of brothers, if they use the knife......"
"Okay, that's good!" Zhou Xiaowen praised.
With such a sentence as the big boss, the role of Zhao Gao is his.
The director, he's always very busy, and it's also for Jiang Wen's sake to take the time to come over and meet him, and after watching it, he finalized the role and left. As for the salary, people didn't say, and he was embarrassed to ask on the spot, so it was impossible to give a few hundred as a flower child.
After arranging the accommodation, Jiang Wen asked, "You don't have any salutes, do you?" ”
Di Yun carried a satchel on his body, loaded two clothes, and said, "No, just one bag." ”
"It's good if you don't have it, it's convenient." Jiang Wen said, "I only live here for two days, and when the personnel are complete, I will go to Xianyang to shoot, you will be familiar with the script in the past two days." Don't wait for the time to shoot and suddenly get stuck. ”
Di Yun smiled embarrassedly: "No, no, I'll take a good look in the next two days." ”
Before noon, a special person sent the contract.
This drama is completely filmed around the three protagonists, and there is not even a decent supporting role, Zhao Gao's role is relatively a little more dramatic, but it is not much more, and the salary is naturally not high, only 5,000 yuan.
It's not as good as the leading actors, but it's a lot better than the average group performance. The serious middle class is not enough than the above, and there is no more than the bottom.
ps: I gave a mosquito leg recommendation, and it doesn't seem to be too strong.
