rejected the ugly unspoken rules and lost the opportunity to be the leading actor in "Jade Snow Sword", Xu Hao did not have much loss.

In the past half a year, he has gradually merged with the world from a simple teenager, and has learned too much hypocrisy that goes against his true thoughts.

Sometimes it makes Xu Hao feel that he is going with the flow.

If he really accepts these bottomless unspoken rules and loses his principles of being a man, then even if he becomes famous and becomes a dazzling star, what about it. The Xu Hao who accepted the scenery on stage is still his original self. It's just a good-looking skin.

Thousands of sails have passed, and do not forget the original intention.

Xu Hao hopes that he can do this, principles and bottom lines, and not be discarded.

Come north with hope. Jing, in the blink of an eye, his hope was shattered, which made Xu Hao very emotional, things are not until the last step, it is better not to have too much hope first, so that there will not be much disappointment.

It's January 13, 2016, and according to the lunar calendar, it's Laba Festival in four days.

"Hua Xia, do you say that my insistence is right or wrong, boss?" Xu Hao was lying on the sofa in the hotel, lazily holding a copy of "Film Analysis Perspective Manual".

The sofa was dragged outside the balcony by him, making a cup of tea and basking in the sun, which was still very comfortable.

This book is a textbook written by Zhang Huijun, President of Nortel, which mainly discusses the cinematography of the film, and selects 16 classic films for theoretical analysis from a professional perspective. It is human nature to do what he likes, and it is absolutely no harm for Zhang Huijun to read more of his books in front of Nortel.

In addition, Xu Hao also prepared a lot of movies and books, and his way of searching for books was very simple. It's just the information I got from Nortel, and I know what kind of movies and books are recommended by several professors in the directing department, and then I buy them one by one. Since these directors recommend such films and books, it is very likely that they will start from this aspect in the future exams.

Hua Xia was helping Xu Hao pack his luggage in the house. Hearing this, he didn't raise his head and said: "Of course it's right, boss, you don't have to rely on unspoken rules to get to the top, it's a matter of time before you get into the top." ”

"Having said that, it's nice to sacrifice once in a while and take a shortcut, isn't it, and I vaguely regret it now. You say, I'll go back and call that Mr. Hong now, is it okay? ”

"Huh? Boss, you really think so. ”

Xu Hao pretended to sigh: "Alas. yes, the most unsuccessful part is that I didn't ask what kind of price that Hong could always offer me. You say, boss, I'm so handsome and dashing, 100,000 yuan a night, can I make it? ”

"Well, I think it can be done." Hua Xia nodded.

"What about the 150,000?"

"Make do."

"What about 200,000?"

"Ugh. It seems to be a little higher. ”

"You know a lot about the market."

"Boss, if you have to ask, I'll just talk nonsense."

is having a meaningless conversation with Hua Xia. The doorbell rang, Hua Xia hurriedly ran to open the door, it was Li Shan who came. As soon as Li Shan came, she told Xu Hao a job message. Jingxi Xingfeng Drama Club recruited drama actors, and Li Shan handed over a document for Xu Hao. The Westbound Wind Drama Club was very interested in Xu Hao and sent an audition notice.

"Drama, I don't know much about it." Xu Hao was a little apprehensive.

He has studied drama very little, although he studied drama acting for a while while with the teacher of the acting class. But after all, there is a gap between drama and acting, Xu Hao only dabbled in it a little, and did not delve into it.

Li Shan encouraged: "Drama is very honing your acting skills, one minute on stage and ten years of work off the stage, you should try more drama performances as long as you have the opportunity now, the experience of live performance is very valuable." And the westward style focuses on the funny route, not a professional drama performance, some similar to the comedy of Happy Twist, you can try it. Don't say if you can pass the audition, don't put any pressure on yourself. ”

Li Shan said that Xu Hao was a little moved: "Okay, I'm going to prepare, and I'll go to the audition." ”

……

Seon lost his horse, but he didn't know if it was a blessing.

Westbound Wind Drama Club is a northern. The local drama club in Beijing has been established for a short time, of course, it can't be compared with a brand drama like Happy Twist, but in the north. There is still a market in Beijing, and there are hundreds of drama performances every year.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the Westward Wind Drama Club has planned a new work, the comedy drama "Tang Seng Blind Date Adventure", as the main hit during the Spring Festival, because there are not enough contracted actors, we are here to recruit new drama actors.

When Xu Hao rushed to the Xixingfeng Drama Club, he found that there were still many actors who came to audition.

The audition for a drama is very similar to the audition for a movie or TV series, and it is also in accordance with the director's designation to perform a sketch and the like.

Xu Hao feels that he has a fate with comedy these days, the "Jade Snow Sword" auditioned before was a funny film, and the drama "Tang Seng Blind Date Adventure" auditioned for now is also funny.

So when he auditioned, he took out his comedy style that imitated Stephen Chow, and completed the performance in a somewhat vulgar way.

Unexpectedly, it was almost the same as the audition for "Jade Snow Sword", the director, producer, screenwriter, and manager who presided over the audition were very satisfied with his performance, and asked Xu Hao to change clothes on the spot.

Xu Hao auditioned for Tang Seng, the actor of "Tang Seng's Blind Date Adventure".

The prop master took Xu Hao to change two sets of clothes, one was a monk's robe. Xu Hao, who is thin, wears a robe, and he feels good, with a little white face temperament. The other is a suit, after wearing a suit, Xu Hao immediately transformed into a successful person with outstanding temperament.

Xu Hao, who had changed his clothes, tried a few scenes under the director's arrangement.

At first, he didn't have much confidence in his vulgar imitation, but seeing the satisfied look of the director and producer made him doubt and increase his confidence at the same time.

It doesn't matter if you think it's good or not, if others think it's good, that's really good.

After the confidence increases, the performance is even harder.

"Not bad, not bad." After Xu Hao's performance, the director nodded again and again, "Xu Hao, I think we can talk about signing a contract." ”

After receiving the director's affirmation, the next thing is simple.

Li Shan negotiated on her behalf, and the contract was completed in half a day, and it was signed in the afternoon.

Xu Hao and Bei. Jingxi Xingfeng Drama Club signed not a fixed actor contract, but a single drama performance contract, a total of 50 performances a year, a drama performance fee is 1,200 yuan, 50 performances is 60,000 yuan. In addition, meal allowance, transportation allowance and rehearsal allowance for the performance will be arranged separately and will not be included in the performance fee.

Of these 50 plays, 20 of them were performed during the Spring Festival, and the remaining 30 were performed within a year, basically once every two weeks. However, the performance time can be coordinated, after all, a drama is not just a set of people, but also divided into group A and group B.

The specific time is still very free, which does not prevent Xu Hao from continuing filming.

And during the period before the Chinese New Year, it is necessary to fully cooperate with the rehearsal arrangements of the drama club.

All in all, Xu Hao acted in "The Adventures of Tang Seng on a Blind Date", making money is secondary, mainly to hone his acting skills. The salaries of drama actors are generally very low, and most of the drama performances are out of interest and honing their acting skills. Many celebrities will also find time to act in dramas, even if they act in a hundred dramas, it is more profitable than not staging one episode of a TV series.

"Xu Hao, you are in the north. Jing An'an rehearses, Hua Xia is here to help you, call me if there is anything. After Li Shan got the contract, she hurriedly said goodbye to Xu Hao and prepared to rush back to Hengdian.

In the north. If you stay in Beijing for one more day, you will spend a lot of money, and you will spend too much, and the company will not report your accounts well.

Now Xu Hao's company's commission, a large part of it is spent on food, clothing, housing and transportation, if it weren't for the fact that he took over more dramas some time ago, it would really not be enough to spend now.

In this way, Li Shan returned to Hengdian.

Xu Hao and Hua Xia stayed in the north. Capital city.

In order to catch up with the Spring Festival schedule, the time arranged by the drama club was in a hurry, so the day after the signing of the contract, Xu Hao had to take Hua Xia to move to the temporary dormitory of the Xixingfeng Drama Club, and followed the crew to go out early and return late to rehearse.

A drama crew, the system is the largest, and the system has two assistants, the executive system and the secretary. There are also three managers below, the administrative manager, the troupe manager, and the production manager. Most of these people are in charge of theater, technology, money, publicity, and the real person who is responsible for rehearsals and creation is the director.

The director of "Tang Seng Blind Date Adventure" is Li Mingchuan, a chubby middle-aged man who has been engaged in drama all his life, and his whole body has the taste of drama.

According to the organizational structure of the regular drama crew, in addition to the necessary actors.

There should also be a band conductor, a choir conductor, and a musician; Dance designers, team leaders, dancers; stage managers, stage workers, handymen; stage designer, technical director, scenery worker; lighting designers, lighting workers; sound design, sound workers; garment design, garment worker; makeup designer, makeup artist; Prop Administrator, Assistant Prop Administrator, etc.

Of course, this is the big crew, like the North. A professional-level drama theater like Jingrenyi will have such a large professional team.

The Westward Wind Drama Club is relatively small, and these positions are actually available, but basically one person has several positions, and I don't know whether the salary is one or more.

When the crew gathered for the first time, Xu Hao counted, excluding the six actors, and ten behind-the-scenes, counting the director and the faceless producer, it was full of eighteen people.

Eighteen people in one play.

Six actors, each already acquainted.

Xu Hao is the protagonist of the drama and plays Tang Seng.

The other five, three men and two women, played the roles of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, daughter Guohongniang, and blind date girl Jingjing.

The script is very simple, there are not many props and sets, and the rehearsal is mainly about the cooperation between the actors.

With two days to go before the Laba Festival, Xu Hao began his first drama performance career. (To be continued......)
