Chapter Seventy-Two: The Wrong Sedan Chair

The Huabiao Award has brought more fame and fortune to Gu Bei, but as time goes by, this matter has gradually been forgotten by people, and Pony Galloping doesn't know whether it is intentional or undoubted, as if he has completely forgotten that Gu Bei is still an artist under his own.

In the previous semesters, Pony Galloping would no longer arrange filming when Gu Bei was in school, but every weekend, he would take one or two sets of photos or magazines for Gu Bei from time to time, but after the Huabiao Award, Gu Bei had not received a call from the company for several months.

During this time, Deng Chao received the first drama in his life - "Fertile Soil Under the Yellow Sand", a not very well-known rural TV series, I heard that he would also go to the semi-desert area in the northwest to shoot.

Deng Chao left before the end of his sophomore year, and he also applied for a postponement of the exam, but in the third year of the next semester, he had to be busy. Liu Ye and Qin Hailu are preparing for graduation, and their class is also busy rehearsing the graduation drama, and as soon as June and July pass, it is estimated that these two will rarely go back to school.

While busy with the screenwriting course at the School of Letters, he can't leave the film and television performance course behind, even if the company doesn't arrange any more jobs for Gu Bei, Gu Bei has lived a fulfilling time during this time.

Unconsciously, Gu Bei is also about to end his sophomore year, and in his junior year, there will be many fewer courses, more social practice and off-campus internships, and Gu Bei has no shortage of experience in this regard.

During this time, many crews also went to the drama academy for casting, but Gu Bei didn't go once, and he also needed the company's consent to take on the play in private.

However, when the school holiday was approaching, the arrival of a crew broke the deadlock between Gu Bei and the company, "The Wrong Sedan Chair to Marry the Right Lang", a classic TV series was cast at the Drama Academy, Gu Bei didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he participated in the audition casting.

Gu Bei only said hello to Shi Rong about this, Li Ming didn't know that Shi Rong represented his own interests of Gu Bei, and Li Ming completely represented the interests of the company.

The convenience of being famous early was also reflected in the audition, Gu Bei was not the first to submit the form, but was arranged for the first audition.

Walking into the audition room arranged by the academy in an orderly manner, Gu Bei bowed slightly to Director Zhang Zien and several other teachers in front of him: "Hello teachers, my name is Gu Bei, I am a student in the 98-level acting undergraduate class of the Academy of Drama, and I am going to audition for the role of the male number one Qi Tianlei." ”

Director Zhang Zien smiled at Gu Bei, and then said a little puzzled: "Gu Bei, have we met somewhere?" ”

"Yes, I did." Gu Bei smiled back and explained, "A few years ago, I had the honor to play a role in the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" directed by you and Director Han Gang. ”

"Prime Minister Liu Luoguo? That was in '95 or '96, did you start filming so early? ”

"Sort of, but I hadn't officially debuted at that time, and I was just working in a crew, and I happened to meet you filming in the same film and television city, so I went to audition for a role, and then I was admitted to the drama school, and I signed a brokerage company."

Zhang Zien nodded knowingly, and said: "I'll just say where I saw you, your appearance is so outstanding, I still have a little influence, by the way, what role did you play in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" at that time?" ”

Hearing Zhang Zien's question, Gu Bei smiled a little bitterly and said: "At that time, he played a group of ministers, with no name or surname, but he had a few lines. ”

Courtiers? The teachers who participated in the interview heard this answer, and couldn't help laughing, and they also had a little feeling in their hearts, they didn't expect that today's big star would be a little-known hairy boy at the beginning, and it is no wonder that Gu Bei became popular just two years after his debut.

"I heard that you just won the Huabiao Award for outstanding actor not long ago, congratulations, and I can see that your hard work for so many years is worth it." Zhang Zien knew that Gu Bei could be regarded as having cooperated with him, and his tone was a lot more kind, "I have also seen some of the plays you played, and I don't doubt your acting skills, but before you came in, you should also know that "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair" is a costume drama, you don't seem to have acted in a costume drama yet, right?" ”

"I made a cameo appearance in Brother Cheng Long's "Weilong of the Western Regions" before, and played a leader of the Praetorian Guard of the Qing Dynasty in it." Gu Bei fought for himself truthfully, but when he was filming with Cheng Long, he didn't shave his forehead, and his braids were also props.

"Hmm......" Zhang Zien nodded, pondered for a while and said, "Your body shape is very suitable, and I am also very relieved about your acting skills, and it is appropriate for you to play this role, but what do you think about the salary?" ”

"My requirements for salary are not very high, but Director Zhang also knows that I have a company, as long as the salary can be reasonable in the company, I don't care."

"Okay, it's a little expensive, but I'm very optimistic about you, so I'll give you this role."

"Huh?" Gu Bei was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "Aren't you auditioning anymore?" ”

"No need, with you, the Huabiao actor, joining, I have more points for the drama of this play, I believe in you."

When leaving the audition room, Gu Bei happened to hear the staff informing the students who were waiting outside for the audition male number one Qi Tianlei that the role had been selected, no need to ask, everyone's eyes turned to Gu Bei, and Gu Bei invisibly pulled another wave of hatred for himself.

The casting of other roles continued, and later Gu Bei also learned from Zhang Zien who the other casting actors were confirmed, and there was also a senior sister Wang Jinghua of Gu Bei who also belonged to the Beiping Drama Academy, and the rest were Xiao Li Lin and Xu Jingling from the Shanghai Theater Academy, Juanzi, Cui Yi, Lu Hanbiao, Xu Guang from the Beiping Film Academy, Sha Yi and Liu Xinhan from the military arts.

This is also an interesting point of this drama, except for the heroine Huang Yi, the rest of the young actors are handsome men and beautiful women selected by Zhang Zien from the four major art academies, and a bunch of students from the acting department get together, I don't know if something very interesting will happen.

After the matter of starring in "The Wrong Sedan Chair to Marry the Right Lang" was confirmed, Gu Bei told Shi Rong directly, and made an appointment to meet at the company, but when Gu Bei walked into Shi Rong's office, Li Ming was also there.

"Gu Bei? You're also coming to Shi Rong? Li Ming smiled at Gu Bei for the first time and said, "You came just in time, I have something to tell you, aren't you about to go on summer vacation?" The company doesn't have any other arrangements, so you just continue to perform commercially, and a few more performances are good for your popularity. ”

keeps receiving commercial performances, if it is not for the artist's own reasons, it is usually a means used by the company to finally squeeze the artist when the artist's contract is about to expire, but Gu Bei's contract with the company still has several years.

Li Ming did not arrange a new play for Gu Bei, but took over commercial performances, and it seems that he is still preparing to dry Gu Bei for a period of time.

"Dong Li, I naturally fully cooperate with the company's arrangements, but before that, I also want to discuss something with Dong Li."

Secretly exhaled, Gu Bei said: "I came to find Brother Rong also has something to say, a few days ago, Director Zhang Zien came to our school for casting, I went to participate in the audition, and I was lucky to win the opportunity to play the male lead, I read the script, it is very good, Director Zhang Zien has also filmed a lot of popular TV series, this drama has the potential to be a big hit, so, I came over and hoped that the company would help me take over this drama, so that I can also give the director and producer an exact answer." ”

Gu Bei did tell Zhang Zien in advance that he could only sign the contract with the consent of the company, Zhang Zien said that he understood very well and was willing to wait for Gu Bei for a while, so Gu Bei came to the company.

Zhang Zien is a famous director of TV series, and the script is also very good, as long as the company is still considering the development of Gu Bei, it will not refuse such a drama.

"Wait." Li Ming frowned and looked at Gu Bei, "You mean, you pushed the play that the company found for you, and then took a play outside?" ”
