Chapter 262: It's Time for Me to Perform!
"Young man, do you want to be a star?"
Guo Kaigang's voice was not loud, but because the surroundings were quiet, there was only his voice, so even if his voice was not loud, what he said was heard in the ears of a large circle of people around him, and they all looked at Mu Tang with envy, confusion or jealousy.
"Who's that man?"
"Face raw, see you for the first time, don't know ......"
"It's a good fortune to be favored by Director Guo......"
Muttering, which had muffled its voice, rang out from all around.
A few steps away, several more important actors, such as Cai Yushi, Qu Qiuyun, etc., also looked at each other, wondering why Director Guo suddenly didn't care about Lu Yihan, but asked a strange teenager "Do you want to be a star"?
If this is said by another person, most people will be regarded as a liar, but at this moment, it is Guo Kaigang who is saying this, and the amount is completely different.
Who is Guo Kaigang?
The well-known big directors in the Kyushu 100 billion club, even if they are placed in the international director circle, have an important seat, and they have made movies since they were 20 years old, and have made a total of eight movies, of which six have a box office of more than 100 billion, and the total box office exceeds one trillion, what a brilliant "record" is this?
All his movies, even passers-by A, will give the audience a magnifying glass to pay attention to. It is not an exaggeration to say that as long as you have participated in the movies directed by him and show your face and say a line, the extras can become a "line" star.
This is also why, even a popular first-line star like Cai Yushi memorizes his lines seriously in his crew and brews emotions - whether he can get out of Kyushu and rush to the international depends on this time!
Right now, looking at Director Guo's meaning, he wants that strange boy to replace Lu Yihan, who is "playing a big name".
Although Lu Yihan's original role was not heavy, he had nearly ten minutes of face appearance and more than ten lines, and as the key figure in the finale of "Twilight Tang", the role is not heavy but the plot is very heavy, if that young man can grasp this opportunity, he can really leap into the dragon gate, soar into the sky, and become a big star in an instant from an unknown passerby!
Why didn't Guo Kaigang say "do you want to be an actor", or "do you want to act", but directly asked "do you want to be a star", this is a manifestation of absolute confidence.
Mu Tang was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "I don't want to." ”
"Huh?"
There was an exclamation of disbelief from the crowd, and then the man realized that he had lost his temper, quickly covered his mouth, squatted down, and buried himself in the crowd.
"......" Guo Kaigang obviously didn't expect that he would be rejected, and he was speechless for two seconds before he asked in disbelief: "Don't want to?" Why not? Do you know what that sentence I just said means to you? Do you know how many people have sharpened their heads and drilled into my eyes for a role in my hands? Do you know......" he didn't seem to know what to say, and paused, "This is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Don't you want to be a star? Don't want to be in the limelight? ”
Mu Tang waved his hand, "I'm a relatively low-key person, so I'm still ......."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Tong Xiangyu and Tang Ruli shouting: "Charcoal (Brother Mu)!" ”
Mu Tang's ears stabbed, and then he had a bad premonition, "What are you shouting?" ”
"Why do you refuse such a fun thing as charcoal......
"Brother Mu, that's a chance to be a big star......"
"Can you please stop talking?"
"Can you shut up first?"
Mu Tang's face darkened, his hand was raised, and the two of them each rewarded a fruit on their heads, "You two can stop, okay?" ”
Tong Xiangyu rubbed her head and shouted, "Great director, he agreed!" What's that, I'm acting as his agent for the time being, Charcoal...... cough, how much is Mu Tang's appearance fee? ”
“……”
“……”
“……”
A cool breeze blew, and the ground was quiet - is there any mistake? How many people begged for a chance that they didn't have the opportunity, but they still negotiated the price with Director Guo?
Others were speechless, Director Guo was no one else after all, he looked at Mu Tang, "Your name is Mu Tang?" ”
Mu Tang said: "The herdsman's herdsman." Coincidentally, it's the same as the name of your film. But don't bother with this stupid girl......"
Director Guo slapped his face, pointed at Mu Tang and said, "Okay!" That's you! ”
As a director, eyesight is very important, without eyesight, how to choose the most appropriate decision? But at the same time, feeling is just as important. It is no exaggeration to say that a film is the embodiment of a series of feelings of the director.
With Director Guo's eyesight, he fell in love with Mu Tang among everyone at a glance, even if Mu Tang was not good-looking, he saw the unique temperament that seemed to be indescribable and lingering on him. And at this moment, when he heard that his name was Mu Tang, which was the same as the movie "Twilight Tang", he instantly believed that this must be the arrangement of the Holy Mother.
Seriously, at this time, it can be said that it is very child's play to randomly refer to a stranger to participate in an important role in the play, after all, if an important role is not played well, it may even ruin the whole movie.
Director Guo's decision at the moment was inevitably bombarded by the producer and investor afterwards, and even that Lu Yihan would say that Director Guo broke the contract afterwards, but on the set, he is the only king, and no matter how child's play, he has the final say, and he has the final say!
Mu Tang wanted to refuse, but he heard Director Guo say: "I won't talk nonsense with you, seeing that twilight is approaching and time is pressing, in this way, if you have acted, the original 95 million salary for Lu Yihan is yours." ”
“9…… How much? 9500…… Ten thousand taels!? Tong Xiangyu jumped three feet high, grabbed Mu Tang's arm and shook excitedly, "Charcoal, 95 million taels, a lot of money!" Perform! Be sure to act! And you must play it well, you can do charcoal! ”
Mu Tang rolled his eyes, almost forgetting that this stupid girl also had the attribute of "greedy for money", he sighed, "Show me the script." ”
Director Guo directly handed his "royal script" to Mu Tang and said, "You are playing the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Minzong...... There are not many scenes, and there are only fifteen lines, but he is a very important character......"
Mu Tang quickly glanced at it, and then closed the script, "Ridiculous! You actually want me to play the king of a dead country...... Well, it's just a matter of playing the king of the dead country, but he is still the king of the dead country who hanged himself after killing his beloved woman and child. Don't act! ”
When Director Guo heard this, he immediately became angry, Lu Yihan just played a big name and boycotted, you, a "passerby", actually came with me to do this, what did you think of me Guo Kaigang, and begged you to do it, "Ha!" Okay, okay, so you say, how do you want to act? ”
This is purely angry talk, and after saying it, I am ready to drive people away - I am convinced today!
Mu Tang pursed his lips and said, "Then you still need to say?" The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies. The kingdom can die, the king can die, but there is no such way to die. Kill with the enemy, be trampled by a chaotic horse, be torn apart by ten thousand knives, and die on the battlefield, this is like an emperor. You see, it is written in the script that even a Wenchen (the character played by Qu Qiuyun) went out of the city with a knife to kill the enemy, and the emperor hid behind to kill women and children, and then found a rope to hang himself, which is interesting. What kind of Tang Minzong is also an unlucky ghost, if it weren't for his absurdity, he wouldn't have been so miserable and became the king of the dead country. The official history didn't say that he was hanged, you guys made it up like this, you're really not afraid of being scolded to death, who wrote this script? ”
Tang Minzong, the evaluation in the history is "Zhengxian charity is more than enough, but the luck is not good", reigned for only one year, is an emperor who was killed by his father, his son Tang Duzong has no other ability except to play with women, the world is in a miasma, and the people are not happy, but later they played and played too much, and ran to the realm with women to play, and the result was directly arrested by the northern grassland peoples. It was under these circumstances that Tang Minzong ascended the throne. Later historians have said: Even if Tang Minzong is a "great sage", there is no hope of saving the country. This shows how bad the situation in the world was at that time.
After listening to Mu Tang's words, the screenwriter on the side had a gloomy and ugly face.
On the contrary, Director Guo fell into deep thought after being angry, and then said: "If you say so, you can act?" ”
The screenwriter next to "Director Guo......" was not happy.
Mu Tang said: "Naturally. Piece of cake. ”
Director Guo waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about the plot later." In fact, he was not very satisfied with the script of this paragraph at the beginning, but the investors and producers felt that it was okay after reading it, and in order to catch up with the schedule and some messy reasons, he avoided accepting it.
And right now, what Mu Tang said really moved him, from the perspective of plot conflict, "The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies" undoubtedly pushes the plot more than "The king hangs himself".
Director Guo pondered for a few seconds, dropped a sentence of "wait a minute", and shouted: "The heads of each group, as well as the main actors who are next to the scene, have come to the meeting!" Fast! Hurry! ”
The set is the battlefield, and the battlefield situation is always treacherous and changeable, no one knows what will happen, but there is the director as the coach, and once the order is given, everyone will implement it almost unconditionally.
Just when Director Guo and they were having a meeting to discuss, Tong Xiangyu patted Mu Tang on the shoulder and said hatefully: "Charcoal! That's 95 million taels, money! If you do this, if he doesn't do it, won't so much money be wasted? I'm going to you off! ”
Tang Ruli said: "Rude girl, you actually let Brother Mu act for money, how poor are you?" Brother Mu, let's stop acting. ”
Mu Tang said with a smile: "I won't play a king of the dead country who hanged himself." But if they're willing to change the script, I don't mind making extra money. 95 million taels, I've never made that much money. ”
Tang Ruli was distressed, "Brother Mu, are you very short of money?" If you're short on money, I've got it. ”
Mu Tang said: "I'm not short of money, but who would be afraid of having a lot of money, are you right?" ”
Liu Zhengyong on the side said: "Hehe, I originally came to visit and play, but I didn't expect such an unfolding." ”
Mu Tang smiled: "Haha, this shouldn't be the sentence: as long as it's gold, it will shine anywhere." Someone as good as me can't keep a low profile even if he wants to. ”
Tong Xiangyu muttered: "Stinky beauty is not ashamed! ”
After a while, Director Guo walked up and said, "Anyway, that Lu Yihan stopped acting, and this scene can't be performed today, anyway, it's going to be wasted today, just treat it as a dead horse and a live horse doctor!" Just according to what you just said, just once, after that, you take the salary and leave; However, even if I, Guo Kaigang, have bad eyes. The actors who play against you are very professional and dedicated actors, so you don't need to rehearse, you can go straight to the real thing. This is the script that has just been revised, you hurry up and read it! The makeup group, the costume group, what are they doing in a daze? me, give you ten minutes! ”
Immediately, a group of people rushed up like a battle, and instantly surrounded Mu Tang.
Mu Tang was playing with makeup artists and costume artists, while reading the script, and found that Director Guo had made some changes on the basis of what he said, for example, "Tang Minzong" took his beloved woman "Queen Zhou" - that is, the role played by Cai Yushi, and Qu Qiuyun played Wenchen Zaizhi and the barbarians frontal anal killing, during which Qu Qiuyun died in battle, and "Tang Minzong" led "Queen Zhou" all the way to kill, and was drowned by the barbarian army, but in the end he did not explain life and death, just a narrator "The whereabouts are a mystery", and finally the capital fell, The palace was breached, and the Tang Dynasty was declared extinct!
Mu Tang nodded, although Director Guo's reform of the capital is missing the tragedy and excitement of "dying with the country", it is a little bland, but in fact, it highlights the tenacity and unyielding of the people of Kyushu in resisting the barbarian invasion, and the unknown life and death of "Tang Minzong" also left the audience with endless blind thoughts, and planted a seed of hope in the tragic background of "Jin Annihilated Tang", leaving an afterglow.
"I don't need extra lines, that's all I need. The rest of the lines, I said with a knife! After changing his clothes, Mu Tang was dressed in an emperor's dragon robe, but it unexpectedly fit very well, and the golden dragon on his chest opened his teeth and claws, as if he was about to rise into the air - of course, this also proves that the crew's costumes are made very carefully.
"Good ......" At this time, Director Guo looked at Mu Tang in a dragon robe, but inexplicably felt an unspeakable pressure.
Not to mention him, but some of the surrounding crew and actors, including Tong Xiangyu, Tang Ruli and others, all felt that Mu Tang seemed to be ...... at this moment It's very different, but what is the difference, acquaintances can't say it at all, and they can't taste it, let alone strangers.
"Brother Mu is so handsome......" Tang Ruli held his hands together, and his eyes were full of stars.
Mu Tang raised his hand and shook it, and the "Qin Taizu Sabre" appeared in his hand, baring his teeth and smiling: "It's time for me to perform!" ”
