Chapter 148, Dreams, a Luxury

The fat man drove his broken car down the road.

Lin Feng sat in his passenger seat.

"Crazy, are you sure you want to find Zhao Daqiang, who auctioned fake drug advertisements, to play the leading role?"

Lin Feng couldn't help but glance at him.

"Why are you so verbose, I've answered five times, I knew you were so verbose, I'd rather take the bus than your car."

"No, I think it's a bit too child's play, he's auctioning fake drug advertisements, and he's never been a movie star."

"Don't you think his acting skills are good, too? What he filmed before has nothing to do with what he will shoot in the future, right? ”

"That's what I said.... I also understand this reason, I just think how can you fall in love with him, even if you agree, that director Qiao Yuan may not necessarily agree. ”

"Not necessarily."

Lin Feng felt that Zhao Daqiang's superb acting skills would definitely conquer Qiao Yuan.

Qiao Yuan wants to enter the film industry from the TV drama circle, this is the best opportunity.

If he wants to make a good movie, he has to use powerful actors.

Lin Feng plans to recommend two actors to him, one is Li Xinran, who plays Chunhua, and the other is Zhao Daqiang, who plays Chunhua's brother Xiguang.

In this movie, the two siblings go to the city, and Xiguang dies because of an accident, which finally prompts Chunhua to return to the countryside.

Xiguang in the script is about forty years old, more than ten years older than Chunhua, which is just in line with Zhao Daqiang's current age.

Don't look at Zhao Daqiang playing the old Chinese medicine doctor every day, in fact, it was made up by him.

His own age is only forty years old, and when Lin Feng saw his usual outfit, he said that he was thirty-five years old.

Lin Feng has always wanted to find an opportunity to arrange a drama for Zhao Daqiang, but he has never been able to find a suitable script, and there is no suitable opportunity.

Now that the opportunity has come, it's time to have a good talk with this Zhao Daqiang.

The fat man called Zhao Daqiang, and Zhao Daqiang said that he was shooting an advertisement in pomp.

Lin Feng is now taking the script and the fat man to the set where Zhao Daqiang filmed the commercial.

Zhao Daqiang's advertising venue is in the suburbs.

The fat man parked his car on the side of the road.

Lin Feng saw that in the distance, on a small piece of grass surrounded by a construction site, something like a yurt had been built, surrounded by several printed background boards.

This background is as cheap as it is.

Walk a little closer.

I saw Zhao Daqiang wearing the costume of an ethnic minority and making up as an old man in his sixties and seventies.

He also had a few lambs at his feet.

A camera is pointed at him.

I saw him holding a pill box.

"Macho strong pills, help you regain your confidence to be a man, the old Mongolian medical family, professional recommendation."

Smile for three seconds.

"Click~"

As the director shouted, the smile on Zhao Daqiang's face disappeared.

He pulled the wig off his head and took off the heavy clothes on his body, revealing his shorts and red vest.

Zhao Daqiang's assistant handed over a large tea jar.

He picked up his large teapot and took a sip of tea, looking very pleasant.

He pulled out another pack of cigarettes, took one out and took a puff.

At this time, Lin Feng and the fat man walked up.

"Brother Qiang, this little life is good, I have used assistants."

"Yo, Mr. Lin and Mr. Du are here, come on...... to smoke. ”

Zhao Daqiang handed the cigarette case over to the fat man Lin Feng.

Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Just finished pumping one, slowly." ”

"Come, try this smoke of mine, try it..... This was given by the owner of the pharmaceutical factory, and I heard that some Chinese medicinal materials were added to it, and if you smoke it, you can strengthen your body. ”

Lin Feng smiled.

I don't know where Zhao Daqiang got this rare thing.

Of course he didn't believe in smoking to strengthen his body.

Today's health care product manufacturers like to play this kind of gimmick.

Just like betel nut and wolfberry are sold as health products, they are all covering their ears and stealing bells, in order to make their reputation better.

Seeing that Zhao Daqiang was so enthusiastic, Lin Feng still took out one and held it with his hand.

Zhao Daqiang saw that Lin Feng and the fat man had finished taking the cigarettes, and he put away the cigarette case.

He took another puff of the cigarette in his hand, exhaled a puff of cigarette, and asked, "I wonder what the two of you are looking for me?" Is there another advertisement? I can state in advance that since my recent schedule is very full, and I am also well-known in the industry, I will have to increase the price of each advertisement by 30%. ”

"Brother Qiang, I didn't plan to shoot an advertisement with you this time." Lin Feng said.

"You don't come to me to shoot commercials, you're looking for me for something.... Someone else wants to ask me to teach me, right? I have to declare in advance, and let me teach acting, I will have to charge tuition.

I taught this skill to others in vain, and that was the apprentice of the church starved to death of the master. ”

Zhao Daqiang said very seriously.

Lin Feng smiled, it turned out that he asked Zhao Daqiang to teach Li Xinran this last time, which made him worry about it.

"I'm not here to ask you to teach others how to act."

"You didn't come to me to shoot commercials, and you didn't come to me to teach others acting, so what are you coming to me for?"

"I want to ask you to play a play."

Lin Feng directly explained his intentions.

"Acting? Not acting. ”

Zhao Daqiang waved his hand with the hand holding the cigarette butt: "I said, I won't make guest appearances in movies and TV series, of course.... The price is high, and we can also negotiate. ”

Lin Feng smiled, this Zhao Daqiang is still the same as before, falling into the eyes of money.

"Not a cameo."

"Not a cameo?" Zhao Daqiang paused.

He asked, "It's not a cameo, what is it?" Supporting actor? The actor his father? Or is it the actor his brother? ”

Zhao Daqiang asked about some of the characters in the series.

"Male lead." Lin Feng said three words.

"The male lead?"

"Yes, the hero."

The smile on Zhao Daqiang's face retracted.

He looked at Lin Feng with a serious face.

"You told me that you were looking for me to play the leading role? You're kidding me, did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong? ”

When Zhao Daqiang said this, although he had a smile on his face, he didn't dare to look at Lin Feng.

Because he was afraid that he would take this ridiculous-sounding joke seriously.

"It's not that I'm wrong, it's not that you heard it wrong, I came to you to act this time, I just want you to play the leading role."

Lin Feng said very seriously.

Zhao Daqiang's eyes looked at Lin Feng's eyes, wanting to find a flaw in Lin Feng's eyes.

But the young man's eyes were very sincere, not like he was joking.

Zhao Daqiang was silent for a few seconds, and he grinned.

He pointed at Lin Feng and the fat man.

"You're here to tease me, aren't you..... I'm a fourth- or fifth-rate actor who can't even be counted as a fourth- or fifth-rate actor who eats by auctioning fake drug advertisements, and you told me that you asked me to play the leading role? ”

Zhao Daqiang had a smile on his face, but his eyes were a little red with a little tears.

He really wanted Lin Feng to smile and shake his head, and then said, "It's just a joke."

Because for him, a middle-aged man over forty years old, it is a very terrible thing to have hope.

Lin Feng knew that no matter what he said, Zhao Daqiang would not believe what he said.

He remembered the night he asked Zhao Daqiang to teach Li Xinran to act.

Zhao Daqiang stood on the street, looked at the pedestrians coming and going, and said the sentence "I don't care about actors or not."

This oily tone is slippery, and it doesn't look like an actual middle-aged person.

He used to be a young man full of passion and dreams.

It's just that his passion and dreams have been shattered again and again in reality.

No one knows how many times he failed in pursuit of his dreams.

No one knows how many nights he spent silently cheering himself on.

Many middle-aged men are like Zhao Daqiang.

When I was young, I was full of passion and dreams and wanted to be on top of the world.

But after experiencing countless setbacks, in the end, he could only accept his mediocrity and had no choice but to return to reality.

Dreams have since become a luxury.

Sometimes even when I hear other young people talk about their dreams, they will sneer and sneer.

Only in the dead of night, I occasionally think of myself, and I used to be as fearless as that stunned young man.

But so what?

Briefly reminiscing about the past, looking at the sleeping wife next to me, thinking of the child sleeping in the next room, and the elderly parents in the hometown.

In the end, I continued to choose to compromise with reality.

Zhao Daqiang is such a numb middle-aged man.

He no longer believes that he can be an actor and be able to film well.

At this time, Lin Feng appeared and told him that not only could he be filmed, but also let him be the leading actor.

When the flame of dreams is rekindled.

Zhao Daqiang's first reaction was...... Snuff it out.
