Chapter Ninety-Seven: Refusal
"You, who is Wang Baoqiang?"
As soon as the middle-aged man led by the voice fell, several migrant workers squatting around him looked at Wang Baoqiang, who was squatting against the wall.
Wang Baoqiang also stood up at this time, and raised his hand timidly: "I ...... I am the king...... Wang Baoqiang ......"
The reaction of several migrant workers around made the middle-aged man know that the somewhat shy young man in front of him was Wang Baoqiang, so he said, "Pack up your things and come with me!" ”
"Who are you?" Wang Baoqiang looked at the foreman standing aside, then turned his gaze to the middle-aged man, and asked tentatively.
A trace of impatience flashed on the middle-aged man's face: "It's Director Kang who asked me to come to you, let's go!" ”
Wang Baoqiang's eyes lit up when he heard the word "director", and the worries in his heart disappeared in the past few days, so he said, that big brother really didn't lie to himself!
Different from Wang Baoqiang's joy, the expressions on the faces of the other migrant workers squatting around him were much more exciting.
Is this nerd really going to fly up the branches and be a phoenix?
Acting as a star, that's something they can't even think of, when will this kind of thing be related to their group of people who work the construction site?
At this time, the eyes of several people looking at Wang Baoqiang were full of envy and jealousy.
If Wang Baoqiang is a migrant worker they don't know, then they will be envious for a while when they hear that the migrant worker has become a star, but Wang Baoqiang is an ordinary migrant worker like them around them, this person is going to be a star now, they are not simply envious of this, but with a trace of jealousy in addition to envy!
Especially the young man who took the lead in mocking Wang Baoqiang just now, the fire of jealousy in his heart was already burning at the moment, and he roared in his heart over and over again: Why this nerd, I am smarter than him, and I look better than him, why is this nerd and not me!?
This young man didn't know that the reason why Wang Baoqiang was selected as an actor was precisely because of kindness and sincerity, and these two things are stupid in his eyes!
The reaction of the migrant workers was seen by the middle-aged man, who shook his head and sneered in his heart: "A little actor who doesn't know what kind of good luck to be taken is just a little actor, and he really thinks he can become a star, do you still think that he is the leading actor?" How can it be! ”
The middle-aged man was assigned by Kang Honglei to take Xijing to pick up a migrant worker, and Kang Honglei didn't tell him that he would take over the starring role of the next play, so the middle-aged man directly sprinkled his anger on Wang Baoqiang.
Of course, if he knew that Wang Baoqiang was the starring role hand-picked by Lin Nan, he wouldn't dare to give Wang Baoqiang such a look at him if he had the guts, but unfortunately he didn't know it now, so Wang Baoqiang still had to suffer a cold face for a while.
This is not a problem for Wang Baoqiang now, he now feels that his whole person is fluttering, and he is about to float to the sky, how can he notice the cold face and impatience of the middle-aged man.
On May 10, the fourth day of the broadcast of "Wulin Gaiden", Lin Nan received a call from Kang Honglei.
On the phone, Kang Honglei mentioned Wang Baoqiang's matter very euphemistically, even if he had been prepared, but when he saw Wang Baoqiang for the first time, Kang Honglei was still startled.
This is a real dirt bun, you don't have to act, don't talk about acting, let alone memorizing lines, you can't speak Mandarin!
Not to mention the bad image and behavior, no matter how you look at it, you look like an honest and stupid countryman.
It's not that Kang Honglei looks down on countrymen, but that the image of Wang Baoqiang is really not suitable for acting, let alone playing the leading role, letting such a person play the leading role will not only ruin the play, but also ruin him as a director.
So after thinking about it again, Kang Honglei still dialed Lin Nan's phone and euphemistically put forward a request to change the leading actor.
Lin Nan also listened to what Kang Honglei said without saying a word, and after listening to the bitter water poured by Kang Honglei, Lin Nan said with a light smile: "In this way, Director Kang, you send someone to me, busy with other things first, and in a few days, I will hand over the script and the starring role to you!" ”
Hearing that Lin Nan agreed to change the starring role, Kang Honglei breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked people to send Wang Baoqiang to Lin Nan.
In the afternoon, Lin Nan was discussing with Chen Yang in his office how to make some good changes to "Soldier Assault", when his secretary Li Zhenning suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Boss, Director Kang has sent Wang Baoqiang over!" ”
"Oh, bring him with you!" Lin Nan heard that Wang Baoqiang had arrived, and hurriedly commanded Li Zhenning.
After Li Zhenning left, Lin Nan smiled at Chen Yang on the side and said, "Fat sheep, I'll let you meet the actor I carefully selected!" ”
After a while, Li Zhenning came in with Wang Baoqiang.
Chen Yang looked at the old-fashioned young man in front of him who was full of shyness and was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but give Lin Nan a thumbs up.
Unlike Kang Honglei, Chen Yang knew what kind of character Lin Nan had created in the script, and Chen Yang felt very suitable just by seeing Wang Baoqiang at first sight.
But suitable is suitable, Chen Yang didn't expect Lin Nan to really dare to use it, you must know that this Wang Baoqiang is a real country young man at first glance, not to mention professional training, he may not even know what filming is, if he is replaced by him, he will never use it, and only Lin Nan dares to come to this circle like this.
Wang Baoqiang has not seen an acquaintance since he came to this city, and he was quite excited when he saw Lin Nan at this time: "Big brother, I didn't expect you to be here!" ”
"Big brother? This is the boss! Chen Yang laughed after hearing Wang Baoqiang's address to Lin Nan, patted Wang Baoqiang's shoulder and said.
Wang Baoqiang was slightly stunned when he heard it, his eldest brother is actually the boss? He thought it was an employee, so he patted the back of his head embarrassedly: "Boss, good boss!" ”
Lin Nan shook his hand and didn't care so much, but said to Wang Baoqiang: "Filming is not an easy job, sometimes it may be more tiring than you as a worker, you have to be prepared for this!" ”
"I'm not afraid of getting tired!"
Wang Baoqiang's smile had a firmness in it that Lin Nan appreciated, and after Lin Nan patted Wang Baoqiang's shoulder and nodded, he said to Li Zhenning, who was staring at Wang Baoqiang with a strange look: "Take him to change his clothes, find a place to live, and find someone to teach him some basic things by the way, such as Mandarin or something!" ”
"Okay, boss!" Li Zhenning nodded, and then left the office with Wang Baoqiang.
After the two left, Lin Nan smiled at Chen Yang: "How is it, this person?" ”
"Good is good!" Chen Yang nodded first, then pinched his chin and was a little worried: "But the way he is now, he can't speak Mandarin, let alone acting, there will definitely be all kinds of troubles at that time, and besides, how can you convince Kang Honglei?" ”
Lin Nan naturally knows the problem that Chen Yang said, but there is no good way to do it at present.
"I can only hope that Wang Baoqiang can at least learn Mandarin in a short time!" Pinching his brows, Lin Nan let out a long sigh, and then smiled bitterly at Chen Yang: "That's why I've always wanted to go it alone!" ”
