Chapter 7: The Old Boy Prepares for Recording
86_86827 Zheng Xing, 42 years old this year, Yan Ren, is a famous TV drama director in China.
The large-scale costume drama 'Great Zhou Dynasty', which was popular some time ago, was created by him, and no one can shake the throne of the first place in the national ratings for several months.
And this time the film he wants to shoot is an urban sitcom, 'If It's Sunny Day'
starring popular movie stars Lu Tao, Lin Feng, Sun Yan and others.
It mainly talks about the love affair between young men and women, as well as the contradictions between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. In fact, almost all of the popular TV series on TV are about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, debts, and third parties.
Because today's TV viewers are almost all uncles and aunts, young people rarely watch TV.
So whether a TV series is successful or not, the main thing is whether it can attract the attention of aunts, and the opinions of young people don't matter, they don't watch it anyway.
This is also why the popular ones on TV now are mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, third parties, because these are the types that aunts like. The only thing Bai Sitang feels fortunate about is that there is no world war in this world, so there will not be so many thunderous anti-Japanese dramas.
Ding dong...
"Who?" It's a powerful voice.
Lu Tao and Bai Sitang stood outside the door seriously, waiting for the director to open the door.
"Director Zheng, it's me Lu Tao, I brought my friend here."
"Oh, here we are."
After a short wait, the door opened.
The two looked at each other a few times
Zheng Xing is 42 years old this year, and he is full of energy, so he looks very energetic. 1.75 tall, although he is wearing a set of white casual clothes, he looks very neat, with a short inch hair and a national face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a thick nose, he looks like a very upright person, and he is very majestic.
Zheng Xing glanced at Bai Sitang carefully.
Nodding with satisfaction, 187 is tall, with a slender figure, a knife-like face, a pair of deep eyes under the sword eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and slightly thin lips. I got a high score in my heart, the conditions are good, and it is very suitable for filming idol dramas.
"Director Zheng, this is what I told you about my friend who has played since childhood, Bai Sitang."
Lu Tao lightly touched Bai Sitang, signaling him to say hello to Director Zheng, and introduced Bai Sitang to Zheng Xing.
"Hello Director Zheng, I have admired my name for a long time. I'm Bai Sitang, and I ask for your kind attention. ”
Bai Sitang stretched out his right hand and said, Zheng Xing stretched out his right hand and shook hands with him.
"Bai Sitang, yes. The conditions are good, let's come in first. ”
After speaking, he walked into the house with two people, the room was very large, and the decoration was very exquisite, and the two people were brought to a coffee table.
"You may be seated, you're welcome."
Bai Sitang can see that although Director Zheng is rigorous, he is still a good person. At least he didn't look down on himself because of his low status.
"Yes."
The two sat down together, Bai Sitang was still a little nervous, no matter what world he was in, it was the first time he had met a famous director, and it was in such a strange and high-end place.
"Xiao Tao, did you tell him about the role in the play?"
Zheng Xing sat on the sofa and asked Lu Tao, Lu Tao's first TV series was directed by him. So the relationship between the two is very good, just like a teacher and a student, otherwise they wouldn't have let a stranger join the crew lightly.
"Not yet, just waiting for you to speak."
Lu Tao scratched the back of his head and said with a smile.
"I heard that you and Lu Tao graduated from the same school, I see that your conditions are not bad, why haven't I seen you."
Zheng Xing asked suspiciously, it stands to reason that with Bai Sitang's image, even if it is not his turn to make a big production, it should still be very easy for idol dramas or something.
Bai Sitang looked embarrassed, Lu Tao just opened his mouth to help him get over, but was interrupted by Bai Sitang.
"I used to be ignorant, I just knew how to have fun. It wasn't until recently that I came to my senses. ”
Bai Sitang generously admitted that this came out as soon as he inquired about it, and he couldn't hide it.
"Yes, young man. It's normal to take the wrong path, as long as you really change it, you're still young. Do you have any acting experience? ”
Zheng Xing asked, his impression of this young man is not bad, at least he dares to admit his mistakes and ugly things, which is stronger than most people, as long as he knows that introspection will definitely improve.
"This, no. Only a few plays have been performed in school. ”
Bai Sitang shook his head and said.
Zheng Xing nodded.
Lu Tao interjected, "Director, what do you think of my brother." Can you play a supporting role? ”
Bai Sitang looked at Lu Tao in some surprise, didn't he say that he wanted to play tricks? Why did it become a supporting role again, and then I figured it out, maybe I tried the supporting role first and then changed to a trick.
Zheng Xing pondered for a while and said
"The image is good, and the people are very good. But after all, I don't have acting experience, so I'm afraid it doesn't make sense to give it directly to a supporting role producer. Let's play a trick first, young man, I think you're pretty good. Be patient, accumulate some experience first, and if there is a suitable role for you later, I will definitely contact you. Your role should be in half a month, and I will let Lu Tao inform you at that time. ”
Lu Tao touched Bai Sitang and said, "Don't thank you yet, director." ”
Bai Sitang reacted and hurriedly said, "Thank you, director, thank you." I'll be sure to take a good look at it. ”
"It's okay, your role should be a courier, so get ready and do your homework. You haven't performed in a while, so you might be a little rusty. ”
Bai Sitang nodded, and sighed in his heart that this director is really good, and if there is a chance in the future, he must cooperate with him.
"Then director, we won't bother you, let's go first." Lu Tao said with a smile
"Well, drive slowly, that's my new car, don't scratch me. How does it feel like I bought it for you, I haven't opened it myself a few times, but I let you open it. ”
Zheng Xing shook his head, and suddenly felt that his decision to buy this car was a failure.
"Hey, we're leaving."
Lu Tao didn't answer the director, and left in a hurry with Bai Sitang in his arms.
Take the elevator, there are still very few people at this point, so there are only two of them in the elevator
"It seems that you have a good relationship with the director, and you will drive away from the new car you just bought."
"Of course, my first drama was filmed with Director Zheng, and he is a very good person. If I talk about relationships, it's more like a teacher-student relationship, and he taught me a lot. ”
Lu Tao sighed with emotion, when he just came out of school, he was stunned, he didn't understand anything, he didn't know anything. Fortunately, I met Zheng Xing, otherwise it would not be easy to get ahead with his somewhat thick character.
"Nice guy indeed, where to go next?"
"Needless to say, of course I'll go to your house, and show me the 'Old Boy' lyrics and tunes."
The two got into the car, and Lu Tao drove the Cheetah X-1 on the empty streets in the early morning. At this point, there are only a few scattered people on the side of the road who jog in the morning, and the vast majority of them are still sleeping at home.
Dozens of minutes later
Bai Sitang opened the door, Lu Tao followed him in, his parents had already gone out, and it seemed that they had gone to work.
Bai Sitang saw Lu Tao looking around at the dilapidated house, and said, "Broken house, what's there to see, let's go." ”
"What is a broken house, I just sighed, I haven't been here for a long time. When I was a child, I often came to play, but this time I suddenly felt that the house was much smaller. ”
Lu Tao sighed, when they were children, they were neighbors, so they often came to play, but later because Lu Tao moved away, they never came again.
"yes, we've all grown up."
Bai Sitang opened the door and walked in, there were two pieces of paper on the computer desk, with a string of lyrics written on them. Pick it up and hand it to Lu Tao, open the laptop by himself, and prepare to update today's content.
Going to see the director was different from what he imagined, he didn't delay much time, and he could write a few more chapters after Lu Tao left.
Lu Tao sat on the bed, and then Bai Sitang handed it over, and looked at the white paper with the lyrics of 'Old Boy' written on it.
A: That's the person I love day and night
How do I express that she will accept me?
B: Maybe I'll never say that to her
I am destined to wander the world, how can I have concern~
Dreams are always out of reach, and you shouldn't give up
A: It's another season for flowers to bloom and fall
Spring, where are you~~
