Chapter 8 The Heart of the Actor
"I'm not crazy, it's you who is crazy!" Xiao Ran sneered and looked at Liang Jiahui, who was less than a foot away from him, he now felt Liang Jiahui's strength, and couldn't help but raise his heart to his throat. However, the play still has to be performed in the same way: "Because of a setback, you will collapse, and you will be willing to fall, and you are crazy!" ”
"What bullshit! I just don't want to act anymore, I just want to be an ordinary person, and I can't do it! Maybe it was because of Xiao Ran's words, Liang Jiahui was obviously not as angry as just now, but he still glared at Xiao Ran, as if he wanted to swallow him.
"You think you can hide it from yourself if you don't want to?" Xiao Ran's cold tone was like a basin of ice water poured on Liang Jiahui's head, and when he saw that it was effective, he hurriedly stepped up his offensive: "You think you don't like acting?" There are some things you can fool others, but you can never fool yourself! ”
Liang Jiahui gradually fell silent, and even the hand holding Xiao Ran gradually loosened. Xiao Ran glanced around and found a large number of audiences, his heart moved, and he shouted again in a tone of some kind of lesson: "Because of a blockade, you have no confidence?" Ask them if they want you to be a stall owner or an actor! ”
"Be an actor!" Liang Jiahui set up a stall not in a day or two, and the other stall owners here don't know him. These people already sympathized with the former actor who was so upset up that he was setting up a stall, and even those who liked his performance were upset for him. Now that someone is encouraging Liang Jiahui to act, they are naturally not left behind.
Xiao Ran observed the flickering eyes in Liang Jiahui's eyes, and knew that success or failure was a matter of success in this move, and said the last cruel sentence ruthlessly: "People who don't know how to take advantage of their advantages are stupid, and I never like stupid people." Whether it's smart or stupid, you choose! ”
Before the words fell, Xiao Ran turned around and left away from the crowd of onlookers. Only Liang Jiahui lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, he gradually raised his head, saw Xiao Ran's figure from a distance, suddenly made a decision, and immediately chased after him.
"Good!" The onlookers were obviously very happy to see the stall actor return to the screen, and they all applauded.
Xiao Ran naturally didn't know what was going on, he just wanted to slow down a little bit so that Liang Jiahui could catch up. Now this is the only thing he can do, if he still can't succeed, then he really has no tricks. He is well aware that a person's will is often difficult to change, especially after the person has made a decision.
He couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard a cheer in the distance behind him, and he thought that maybe he had succeeded. He could have turned his head to take a look, but he was afraid that the disappointment he had created would be swept away, so he could only move forward with his head stuffed.
The sound of footsteps gradually reached Xiao Ran's ears, and after catching up, it gradually slowed down, and Xiao Ran was ecstatic in his heart. Sure enough, seeing Liang Jiahui with a smile on his face, Liang Jiahui smiled lightly: "I think, it may be better to be a smart person!" ”
Xiao Ran, who was excited, couldn't wait to kiss Liang Jiahui immediately, and the next thing was much simpler, Liang Jiahui didn't pay attention to the goods on the stall, but went to eat and spend the night together. After chatting casually for a while, Liang Jiahui suddenly smiled and said: "Your acting skills are good, you might as well consider being an actor in the future!" ”
In addition to being surprised, what else could Xiao Ran think at this time! He was originally acting, trying to stimulate Liang Jiahui. He thought he had succeeded, but now it seems that it was obviously not his means that succeeded, but that Liang Jiahui suddenly figured it out.
However, Xiao Ran's move is a bit risky, but fortunately, he sees Liang Jiahui as a good gentleman. The most important thing is that he saw the little golden man of the Academy Awards at Liang Jiahui's home, a little golden man who was wiped clean. On it, he saw a Liang Jiahui who likes acting, so he deliberately made this scene.
Of course, Xiao Ran could only smile awkwardly now, and took a sip of the drink before saying, "No way, I think this is the only way to make your comeback!" It was a long time later that Xiao Ran knew that Liang Jiahui was not moved by his scene, but because of his sincerity.
Thinking about it later, Xiao Ran realized that he was really not ordinary ignorance, he wanted to be famous and had no money, and he was embarrassed to go to Liang Jiahui to say something about his comeback. But he knows that Liang Jiahui does have the idea of not acting anymore now, and he didn't change until he met his future wife.
"What do you want me to do?" Liang Jiahui drank all the beer in the can, wiped his mouth, and asked Xiao Ran with bright eyes: "I haven't heard your name before, I guess you are still a newcomer!" ”
"That's right, I'm really a newcomer, and I'm barely getting into the industry just now!" Xiao Ran nodded, newcomers are not a shameful thing, is it still like there are no newcomers in Hong Kong movies twenty years later, so it is a miserable thing. Speaking of this, Xiao Ran smiled awkwardly: "Actually, I mainly want to get to know you, I like your performance very much." ”
"I'm just as a person, what is there to know!" Liang Jiahui suddenly laughed: "However, I think you are very straightforward, I like it!" ”
Xiao Ran is no longer interested in being an actor, but Xiao Ran still hopes to have a chance to star or direct. With just one chance, he can make his name louder.
How did the opportunity come? Opportunities have never been given by God, but created and grasped by people themselves. After making an appointment with Liang Jiahui, Xiao Ran returned to his free nest. You Zhi hadn't slept yet, thinking that he couldn't find a job and stared at the TV sadly.
Now it's a midnight show on TV, and it's actually a replay of Shanghai Tang. Xiao Ran sat beside You Zhi with great interest and watched this backward little black and white TV, and suddenly he asked without looking at You Zhi: "Ah You, do you know that Zhou Yan found out that it was box office poison?" I dare to swear with my head that he will be a big hit next year, I mean in terms of movies, and the box office will definitely break records! ”
"Impossible!" You Zhi immediately blurted out against Xiao Ran's opinion, how did he not know that Zhou Yunfa has acted in a lot of films in the past few years, and most of them have an excellent reputation. But the box office is a mess, and the only film that has exceeded 10 million still relies on Xinyicheng.
"Very well, let's make a bet then!" Xiao Ran smiled like a vixen who had lived for thousands of years, and he stretched out a finger and shook it gently: "If he does have these achievements next year, then you will listen to me in the future, do you dare to bet!" ”
You Zhi was still a young man after all, and he was immediately aroused by the blood surname and shouted: "Bet on it!" If he doesn't have these results next year, then you listen to me! ”
"Good!" Xiao Ran sighed, and said with regret on his face: "It's really hard to win you like this, I add one, he will definitely win the Best Actor at the Academy Awards and the Golden Horse Awards!" ”
At this time, You Zhi's melancholy mood had been swept away, and he laughed quite openly, pointed at Xiao Ran with one hand and said, "It will never be so coincidental, you will lose this time!" ”
"Really?" Xiao Ran just smiled with a deep meaning, and laughed so much that You Zhi was creepy, and gradually began to wonder if he would lose this bet. Nervous, he naturally didn't have Xiao Ran, who had seen for twenty years, to be far-sighted, and Xiao Ran's move was determined to win You Zhi. Of course, such a method is not suitable for everyone.
"Have you found a job?" Xiao Ran didn't seem to care, but he knew what he was thinking in his heart.
You Zhi shook his head: "No, it's not difficult to find a job, but it's not easy to find someone I like!" ”
Xiao Ran couldn't help but whistle to make himself look more like an active young man: "What? Still thinking about going wireless? ”
You Zhi shook his head again, and then fell silent, letting the relaxed atmosphere that Xiao Ran had worked so hard to create completely disappear. Xiao Ran only sighed lightly, he thought that he knew what You Zhi was thinking, but he had nothing but the future now, just if he wanted to do something, he didn't have the ability.
The next day, Xiao Ran saw a news in the newspaper, a news about Ah Biao's murder and arrest, presumably Ah Biao carried out his suggestion. He thinks that in the future, he may have to rely on Ah Biao in some aspects, after all, some things are not so good on the table.
Still didn't go anywhere, he thought about it for a long time last night, and always felt that it would take quite a long time to accumulate raw capital like this. But what he lacks most now is time, even though it doesn't seem to be busy at the moment. It's just that he knows very well that if he doesn't accumulate capital now, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the future.
Therefore, he has no time to wait for the release of "True Colors of Heroes", he must try his best to play the leading role on the screen in the short term. Of course, this is not because of his acting prestige, but for the money. He knows very well that in this era, actors are the biggest, and they make a lot of money.
So, he decided to take the risk of writing the script for "Mr. Zombie", which will be released at the end of this year, and then send it to Debao Films. In addition, "Police Story", which was also released at the end of the year, was written, and "Happy Ghosts" will only be released next year. With the exception of the latter, the first two films were among the top 10 at the box office in '85.
For the next few days, he didn't go anywhere, just stayed in the nest and hated to code words on paper. Writing a script in a week is not a difficult task, but for Xiao Ran, it is more painful than anything else.
Wei Dongling is still bored to go to and from work every day, and the feeling of overkill obviously makes him depressed. You Zhi was still depressed, but he still found a job and did it first.
When they finally saw Xiao Ran walking out of the room with a smile on his face a week later, they all had the illusion that a master had achieved a positive result in retreat. Xiao Ran explained the abnormal performance in the past few days, and then showed the script to the two of them.
Wei Dongling and You Zhi were obviously surprised, they didn't expect Xiao Ran to be a screenwriter, and judging from the script written by Xiao Ran, it was obviously not very bad. Wei Dongling looked at the script, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he suddenly burst out of interest in the movie.
As for You Zhi, after reading the script, he only said one sentence to Xiao Ran: "You are very powerful, even more powerful than someone I know!" ”
Swim in the sea! The first thing that flashed in Xiao Ran's mind was this name. He barely suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Who is that person?" Tell me, I'm interested in getting to know it! ”
You Zhi laughed, stared at Xiao Ran and said, "I think you may have heard his name, he is Wei Jiahui!" ”
