Chapter 23: A Golden Opportunity
The day after the makeup try-on.
Xu Zhen and Qiao Feng made an appointment with Lin Huimei again at the same café where they met for the first time.
It's just that last time I made an appointment for morning tea, and this time I made an appointment for lunch.
"I've brought you a new script."
While waiting for the meal, Lin Huimei took a brown paper bag at hand and handed over the three thick documents inside.
Xu Zhen had already received the script before, and when she saw that she brought another copy, she said puzzledly: "The script has been adjusted?" ”
Lin Huimei thought for a while, nodded and said, "Sort of." ”
Xu Zhen took the script and flipped through it, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.
The crew is about to start filming in two days, even if the script is adjusted, all the leading actors should be called together for a meeting to discuss.
Why do you want to meet yourself alone?
Lin Huimei understood the doubts in his eyes, smiled, and said, "This script is different from the version I gave you before." ”
"To be precise, this is the 'old version', and the one you saw before is the 'new version.'"
She pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, pointed to the script in the brown paper bag and said, "This 'old version' script was created with Xiao Yuer as the absolute protagonist. ”
"And the previous set, in order to cooperate with He Junning's participation, deliberately adjusted the protagonist to Hua Wuji."
Lin Huimei smiled bitterly: "To be honest, in terms of story structure, I actually think that the 'Little Fish Version' is much stronger than the 'Flower Perfection Version'. ”
"Because the original book is based on Xiao Yu'er as the protagonist."
"All the stories are also designed for him, so the adaptation is more respectful of the original and the logic is smoother."
Xu Zhen nodded approvingly.
He has just flipped through the original work of "The Peerless Twins" in the past two days.
The original book is from the perspective of Xiao Yuer, and the whole story revolves around his growth and experience.
And the character of Hua Wuji, not to mention a background board, is basically the same.
However, in order to highlight He Junning's position, the previous script deliberately put clues on Hua Wujian.
In order to improve the role of this character, the script even injected many plots that were not in the original work, such as practicing in the Shifting Flower Palace, acting chivalrous after going down the mountain, and mediating with people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes, etc., which made people drowsy.
Xu Zhen almost doesn't need to read the original book, just by looking at the script, he can tell at a glance which story is in the original book and which story is original by the screenwriter.
- What doesn't look good is original.
It's so clear at a glance.
But......
Xu Zhen didn't understand, why did Lin Huimei tell herself this?
She plans to demote He Junning to the second male number?
But, what does this have to do with me? I don't have any rivalry with these "juniors".
"I'm more than a decade older than you, so I shouted at you 'Xiao Xu'", at this time, Lin Huimei spoke, "Sister wants to ask you, this version of Hua Wufeng, are you willing to act?" ”
Xu Zhen: "......"
He looked at Lin Huimei in a daze, a little confused.
I?
Perfect performance?
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Qiao Feng on the side.
At this time, Qiao Feng's face was also full of shock, but unlike Xu Zhen, his eyes were already shining.
"Sister Hui......" Qiao Feng tried to stabilize his excitement and asked, "Is this a drama appointment?" ”
Lin Huimei sat up straight, nodded solemnly, and said, "It's a drama appointment." ”
"He Junning's agent contacted me yesterday and said that he didn't want to film with Xu Zhen in the same crew, so I directly asked him to roll up."
Qiao Feng: "......"
Xu Zhen: "......"
Big sister, so just?!
Although Qiao Feng didn't believe that she said what she said, since Lin Huimei had already made a drama appointment to Xu Zhen on behalf of the crew, it means that He Junning really boycotted!
At this moment, Qiao Feng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
He was well aware: this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Can Xu Zhen get rid of the identity of a marginal artist and officially enter the circle of mainstream actors, in one fell swoop!
If it weren't for the mistake of yin and yang, He Junning, who was a rammer, who died by himself, with the current coffee position of "Xu Zhen", how could he have this opportunity to get such a good role?
This is the second male of Dongyue Film and Television's annual drama!
He turned his head abruptly and looked at Xu Zhen on the side with blazing eyes.
Looks like...... It's time to sacrifice your wife.
No matter what the price is, you must let this melon baby take over this drama!
If this is not accepted, the future loss is likely to be 100 million!
……
At this time, Xu Zhen on the side was a little at a loss.
He had mixed feelings.
Hua Wufeng is different from Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng is just a supporting role with few scenes, and it can be filmed in about a few days, no different from the previous Xue Zhu, just a part-time job.
And the flowers are flawless...... But it has to follow the whole scene, at least for several months of filming.
It's a serious job.
Xu Zhen's heart was very resistant.
However, to his surprise, the reason for his resistance was not that he was unwilling to act, but that he was afraid that he would not be able to act.
Say a thousand things and ten thousand.
Today's Xu Zhen, in fact, only has one movie cameo experience.
Basically a vegan person.
Although he has various advantages such as martial arts and imitation, it still does not mean that he has the strength that an actor should have.
There are so many things that are missing.
Xu Zhen himself tried it in private, and without any template, he couldn't even pronounce the most basic lines correctly.
At such a level, how can you control a costume drama with a one-step shooting period of up to 4 months?
Without that diamond, how dare you take this porcelain job?
……
Across the table, Lin Huimei took a sip of coffee on the table and waited patiently for Xu Zhen's reply.
To be honest, before she came, she didn't think that the other party would refuse.
- The second male of "The Peerless Twins"!
With Xu Zhen's current identity, how can he not be moved?
Lin Huimei waited for a while, and saw that he seemed to have some other considerations, so she took out another document, handed it forward, and said, "Xiao Xu, this is the contract I asked people to draw up last night, you can take a look." ”
"I'm sorry I have to follow the rules of the industry and can't deliberately inflate your value."
"However, I have done everything in my power to raise the premium to the maximum."
As she spoke, she opened the contract, lightly tapped a position with her finger, and said, "Please take a look, this price represents the sincerity of our crew." ”
Xu Zhen followed her fingers and looked over.
The next moment, he couldn't help but rub his eyes.
Paid......
200…… Ten thousand?!
Obviously, he could see every word so clearly, but when they were connected, Xu Zhen suddenly felt that he was illiterate.
All the previous suspicions, resistance, and hypocrisy completely disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Xu Zhen almost subconsciously wanted to ask: Where should this signature be signed? ?
