After a long while, Xu Hongsheng finally raised his head.

"Director Fang, I'm ready, can I start performing?"

"Okay, the props are on the table." Fang Bo suppressed the expectation in his heart, put away his excess emotions, and planned to take a good look at his performance.

Xu Hongsheng picked up the cigarette and lighter on the table, but he didn't rush to start, but closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.

After adjusting the state, the performance officially began.

He took one out of his cigarette case and put it in his mouth, picked up the lighter, and tried to light it.

"Eh, no smoking in the supermarket."

Fang Bo played for him according to the normal process, saying the lines belonging to the supermarket clerk "Tang Xiaolian" in the movie.

When lighting a cigarette, Xu Hongsheng's eyes focused on the flame of the lighter, and when he heard this, he didn't stop the movement in his hand, but just raised his head slightly and glanced at Fang Bo with an impatient expression.

Yo, there's a show!

Out of the professional sensitivity of a director, Fang Bo keenly captured this impatient expression, a small detail that none of the previous auditioners had performed.

"Draw it out!"

Fang Bo became more serious, and when he said his lines, he also carried a bit of the character's emotions.

Hearing this, Xu Hongsheng raised his eyes to look at Fang Bo, and there was a bit of disbelief in his eyes.

Your boss owes me so much money, and it's been delaying for more than a month, and I can't even smoke a cigarette in the supermarket?

If you don't pay back the money, it's reasonable, right, I'm not angry yet, you blamed me first, the tiger doesn't threaten, you treat me as a sick cat!

Xu Hongsheng's expression gradually changed from impatience to anger, and the negative emotions that had been pent up for a long time finally broke out.

He slammed the cigarette in his mouth to the ground, and his movements were very large, as if to vent his dissatisfaction.

"Why aren't you allowed to smoke?!"

"Don't let me smoke, why are you selling it to me!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and when he spoke, he was accompanied by body movements such as shaking his hands, "You owe my money for more than a month, don't think that you can get rid of your debts if you keep dragging it out like this......"

That's you!

If it weren't for the fact that the performance hadn't ended, Fang Bo really wanted to get up and applaud him.

The progression of emotions is handled just right, and the design of some small actions is also in line with common sense, and the character of "He Sanshui" is simply lived!

It is true that Xu Hongsheng's acting skills still have some flaws, some details are not very good, and the explosiveness of the performance is also lacking.

However, the crux of the matter is that his salary is cheap!

If it were a first-line movie star with a salary of tens of millions of dollars to make this performance, Fang Bo would definitely point out the shortcomings on the spot, and felt that the other party's acting skills still needed to be polished.

But standing in front of him at the moment is an inconspicuous special actor, the salary is the same as the price of cabbage, tens of thousands of yuan can be exchanged for this level of performance effect, what more bicycle?

Besides, directing actors is also one of the director's own jobs, and Fang Bo is confident that he can slowly correct Xu Hongsheng's shortcomings during the filming process.

After the first scene was tried, Fang Bo was very satisfied, and gave Xu Hongsheng the script of the next few scenes while the iron was hot.

And Xu Hongsheng did not disappoint him, and his next performances were excellent, which was enough to be the leading actor in the movie.

"The acting is very good, and all kinds of details are very in line with the setting of the characters."

When the audition ended, Fang Bo no longer hid his emotions and praised him with satisfaction.

"I just like to think about myself in the mirror when I have nothing to do, and I can't feel if the performance is good or not, as long as the director can approve it."

In the face of Fang Bo's praise, Xu Hongsheng still looked honest, neither arrogant nor impatient.

Fang Bo asked curiously: "You have this kind of acting skills, which is enough to play some difficult roles, why are you still just a special actor?" ”

Xu Hongsheng scratched his head and did not answer.

Seeing this, Fang Bo did not continue to ask.

After all, the reason is actually very simple, it's just that no director is willing to give him a chance to show himself.

Because there are too many actors in Hengdian, from first-line movie stars to low-level group performances, actors of all levels and types can be found here.

Other directors naturally don't need to be like Fang Bo and slowly look for suitable candidates from the special actors. They all know what kind of actors they want for a role, and they can directly send audition invitations to eligible actors.

Therefore, it is difficult for a young actor like Xu Hongsheng to get ahead, even if he has acting skills, there is no suitable platform for him to show it.

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to tell you."

In the middle of speaking, Fang Bo suddenly stopped, thought about it for a while, and then continued after organizing the language: "You also know that this movie is a comedy, so in order to show the comedic effect, some adjustments will be made to the image of the actors during filming. ”

"Adjustments?" Xu Hongsheng was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

"It means that when the time comes, the hair on the top of the male protagonist's head may be shaved off."

"Overhead?" Xu Hongsheng reached out and touched the hair on his head, and blurted out a sentence, "That's not the Mediterranean." ”

"Ahem." Fang Bo touched his nose embarrassedly, nodded, and gave an affirmative answer.

Xu Hongsheng's expression was a little embarrassed, and he put his hand on the top of his head and didn't take it off, as if he was protecting his hair.

Although he is middle-aged, he has not yet experienced a hair loss crisis, and his hair is quite thick, and it seems that it is indeed a little difficult to shave it into a Mediterranean Sea all at once.

Just as Fang Bo was about to try to convince him with a phrase like "making the necessary sacrifice for the movie", Xu Hongsheng spoke.

"Director Fang, it's not impossible to shave my hair, but after shaving my hair, it's a little difficult for me to take on other scenes. And you didn't tell me in advance that you were going to shave your hair, and I wasn't mentally prepared before I came, so. ”

Fang Bo repeated: "So? ”

Xu Hongsheng said word by word: "You have to add money!" ”

……

There's an old saying: Anything that can be solved with money is not called a thing.

Although Fang Bo has no money now, everything is easy to discuss, as long as there is no refusal, then there is still room for maneuver.

So when he heard Xu Hongsheng propose to add money, Fang Bo didn't hesitate at all.

Okay, how much do you want to add, let's talk about the number first, whether there is or not, let's discuss it first.

His idea is very simple, as long as the salary is less than 80,000, it is acceptable.

If it exceeds 80,000, then the budget is not sufficient, and it may be difficult to get it at this stage, but as long as Xu Hongsheng agrees, the big deal will be made up by the box office after the release, and there is always a way.

Unexpectedly, Xu Hongsheng was not greedy at all.

He usually earns 1,002 a day as a special contract, but not every day he has a role to take, and it is common for him not to receive a role for a week.

However, when you are a special actor, there are only a few scenes a day, and when you are the leading actor, the role of the scene increases a lot, and the time and energy you pay also increases.

So after all things considered, the salary he proposed to Fang Bo was 800 a day, plus it was inconvenient to take on the scene after shaving his hair, so he needed to compensate an additional 3,000.

This figure is far lower than Fang Yuan's psychological expectations.

If "Night Club" is going to be filmed for a month, Xu Hongsheng's salary will be less than 30,000 yuan, which is more than a star and a half different from the expected 50,000 or even 80,000 yuan.

Therefore, after hearing Xu Hongsheng's proposed salary, Fang Bo agreed without hesitation, and didn't even consider the matter of counteroffering.

What are you kidding, you can find an actor with this kind of acting skills for 30,000 yuan, if you miss it, where can you find such a good thing?

At this point, the candidate for the leading actor is officially determined.
