Friday afternoon.

Fang Xing made an appointment with Yan Lan to visit the National Theater in Guang'anmen.

Two days ago, Lin Yingxue, the originally optimistic hostess candidate, was signed away by Rhett Film and Television at a premium.

The crew has been busy looking for the female lead actor for the past two days.

Fang Xing was not in a hurry about the female lead, but gave priority to the National Theater, wanting to set up those important elderly roles first.

Today, the actors of the Drama Theatre are rehearsing a play about poverty alleviation.

Fang Xing and Yan Lan watched the rehearsal in the theater before going backstage to greet the old artists of these national teams.

When filming "Wulin Gaiden", Fang Xing worked with two old actors from the National Theater.

They all relied on Yan Lan's relationship to introduce each other.

This time to visit the National Theater, Fang Xing is not an outsider.

When I got backstage, I first greeted the old actors I knew.

Then, Yan Lan led the rest of the old artists to get to know them one by one.

In fact, before Fang woke up, he had already learned about the in-service veteran actors of the National Theater in advance, and specially found their performance clips to watch.

Therefore, I am already optimistic about several old actors in my heart.

It depends on whether these old actors are interested in starring.

If these veteran actors are willing to act, even the filming schedule can be adjusted according to their requirements.

"Fang Xing, come on, come on, this is what I told you, Teacher Liu Lanying."

Introducing all the way, Fang Xing warmly shook hands with each actor, and then took the hot drink from the assistant and sent it over.

"Teacher Liu Lanying, hello, I have watched your "Lights of Ten Thousand Homes" and I like it very much."

"Hello, hello, I also watched your "Wulin Gaiden", my youngest daughter likes it very much." Liu Lanying talked about this very cordially.

Liu Lanying is tall and thin, she is fifty-three years old this year, and she was very beautiful when she was young.

When I get older, most of the roles I play are elder roles such as mothers.

The current screen image is mostly dominated by older characters with a little silver strand in their hair.

I have experienced a lot in life, and I have all aspects of experience and acting skills, so the roles I play are very vivid.

Liu Lanying's main job is the work of the National Theater, and she occasionally appears in some TV series, but this depends on fate.

Actors in the system sometimes value the script more than the money.

Because the actors in the system, if they want to take over the play, they need to report to the leaders of the theater.

Moreover, there are some restrictions when it comes to the roles played.

It's not the first time that Fang Xing has invited actors from the National Theatre to act, so in this regard, it will be a little smoother.

Yan Lan helped explain, "Teacher Liu, Fang Xing has been preparing a new play recently, saying that he has taken a fancy to you and wants to invite you to participate, so he begged me to bring him to visit the class."

Liu Lanying usually doesn't pay attention to online speech, let alone the news in the entertainment industry, so she doesn't know about it.

I heard that it was an invitation to filming, and there was the drama "Wulin Gaiden" in front of her, Liu Lanying was still very interested, but she was a little worried: "But I have never acted in a comedy."

Liu Lanying's previous dramas and TV series were mostly dramas, and she had never acted in comedies.

The genre of comedy is a little special, and it depends very much on the actor's own performance.

Some actors are natural comedians, but others just have a hard time making the audience laugh.

Liu Lanying has almost never acted in comedy, and she has reached this age, and she doesn't really want to try a genre that she is not good at.

Fang Xing hurriedly explained, "This time it's not a sitcom, it's a suspense drama."

Liu Lanying heard that it was not a comedy, so she nodded and said, "I have to read the script first."

"Of course, of course." Fang Xing hurriedly nodded in agreement.

For the actors of the National Theatre, there are some roles that must not be played, so it is impossible to agree to the invitation until you have seen the script.

Liu Lanying is more rigorous in her work, saying: "You still have to audition for the selection of actors, whether it is suitable or not, you can't be sure before the audition. When I read the script, if it's appropriate, I'll make an appointment to try it out."

Fang Xing suddenly had an idea and asked, "Why don't you have a short section now?"

An old artist like Liu Lanying, who does not include a lake, said that he would come, and promised, "Yes, then let's try it now."

For veteran actors, they don't necessarily need lines to perform, they just need to explain the characters and scenes, and they can come immediately.

Fang Xing began to explain the role: "Mr. Liu, the role you are going to play now is an old mother whose daughter died in a car accident.

"Now standing in front of you is the driver who caused the accident, but instead of being sentenced, he was acquitted.

"You firmly believe that the truth of this car accident has not been revealed, you are such a daughter, in order to find out the truth, you can not even want your life.

"Now you are holding the driver who caused the accident and asking about the cause of your daughter's death."

The conflict in this scene is very intense, and many of the scenes explained by Fang Xing are inner dramas, which can be said to be very difficult.

In the whole scene, Fang Xing did not elaborate a single line, but the requirements for acting skills were ridiculously high.

After hearing this, Yan Lan next to him felt that this was true.

There are several key points in this.

First of all, this old mother has only one daughter, and her daughter died in a car accident, which is simply killing her.

And standing on this old mother is the driver who caused the accident, and the conflict is very intense.

To play such a role well, it is necessary to play the despair, grief and persistence of this old mother.

After listening to this scene, Liu Lanying also felt the difficulty of this scene.

As a veteran actor of the National Theater, I am more interested in this kind of difficult play.

She thought for a moment and asked a few questions, "How emotional is this old mother? Is there anything wrong with the mental aspect?"

Fang Xing thought about it for a moment and replied, "I hope it's the kind of madness hidden under the calm surface, the kind of madness that hurts so much that I don't want to live, but it's as calm as a stone."

After hearing this answer, Yan Lan couldn't help but gasp.

She felt that if she was asked to perform this scene, it would not be impossible to act at all, but it was very difficult, and if she came to such a scene like this, there was a high probability that she would not be able to come.

Liu Lanying thought about it for a while and said, "Wait for me."

With that, she turned away, looked down and bit the nail of her thumb, and began to brew emotions.

As her emotions slowly rose, the action of biting her nails became harder and harder.

Fang Xing stood and waited.

Three minutes pass, five minutes pass......

It wasn't until more than ten minutes had passed that Liu Lanying turned around, her eyes already full of tears.

The grief, despair, and hatred in his eyes were all expressed.

She suddenly erupted, rushed up and reached out to grab Fang Xing's collar, and tugged, "You return my daughter!" You give my daughter back! You murderer!"

Fang Xing's reaction was also very fast, he broke free of her palm with all his might, took a step back and said loudly, "You let go!" Your daughter's death has nothing to do with me, the police say I'm not guilty, and it's useless for you to pester me!"

Liu Lanying continued to pounce and entangle: "You are a murderer! The law can't punish you! I won't let you go even if I die!"

Watching TV and playing live is completely different.

Fang Xing was shocked by the explosiveness of Liu Lanying's performance, and only for this paragraph, he knew that Liu Lanying could play this role.

"Card! Great, Mr. Liu, this role belongs to you." Fang Xing gave a thumbs up.

Liu Lanying heard that the audition was over, slowly exhaled, slowly came out of the play, covered her face with her hands for a while, and then recovered, and asked with a smile:

"The dramatic tension of this character is really strong, but I have to read the script before I can decide whether to act or not."

"Of course."

Fang Xing hurriedly took out an A4 paper-bound script from his bag and handed it over: "This is the script, Mr. Liu read it first, I believe you will definitely like this character."

At Liu Lanying's age, her eyes are starting to be a little foggy, and sometimes she wears reading glasses when she reads books, so she is not used to reading scripts on her mobile phone, and she is more accustomed to paper scripts.

Fang Xing thought of these old actors early in the morning, and they definitely preferred paper scripts, so he printed a few copies in advance.

After meeting Liu Lanying, I met several other actors, and after sending the script out, today's matter is basically over.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, Fang woke up and returned to the East China Sea Tianlan Wenyuan.

Fang woke up and found that the lights in the house were on.

Lu Xiang'er was sitting at the dining table, holding her cheeks with her hands in a daze, and she even looked good in a daze.

There were a few dishes on the table, and they were covered with plates, probably because they wanted to wait for themselves to come back to eat, but they waited until eight o'clock.

Lu Xiang'er saw that Fang Xing had come back, and was a little listless and ready to stand up: "You're back? I put it in the microwave and heat it up."

"You did that?" Fang Xing changed into slippers and asked.

"Of course...... I did it with a mobile app." Lu Xiang'er made a joke with a smile.

As she spoke, she brought the food into the kitchen and microwaved it.

While heating up, he asked, "Did you go well today?"

"It went very smoothly, I went to the National Theatre, met a few old artists, and tried a few scenes on the spot, I have to say, old artists are old artists, and I have nothing to say." Fang Xing's tone was full of excitement.

"Then these old artists, do you agree to star?" Lu Xianger is very concerned about the preparation of this new drama, after all, this is related to the fate of her company.

"Not so fast, at least after reading the script before you can make a decision." Fang Xing replied.

"Yes. Ay...... It's not easy to prepare a play. Is the heroine found?" Lu Xianger had already seen the news that Lin Yingxue was snatched away by Rhett Film and Television, so she was a little worried.

"Not yet." Fang Xing replied.

"Is there anyone who has chosen someone now? Lin Yingxue refused to act, which was a bit excessive. No matter how you say it, "Wulin Gaiden" is also popular." Lu Xianger pursed her lips and complained.

"I can't say that, even if Lin Yingxue wants to act, her agency can't agree. On the side of Rhett Film and Television, the salary is 18 million, which is three times that of us." Fang Xing shrugged and didn't care too much.

"What then? I can't find the female lead, this is too important." Lu Xiang'er turned around and asked.

"Hmm...... Actually, old actors are more important." Fang Xing was not worried at all.

Standing at the door of the kitchen, watching her tinker with the microwave, an idea suddenly came to mind, and suddenly pointed to the pressure cooker next to him and said, "! The soup in the pressure cooker, did you turn off the electricity? If you start boiling in the morning, it won't explode, will it?"

"Huh?!" Lu Xiang'er suddenly jumped up, her face was full of horror, her face was bloodless, she turned around and rushed out of the kitchen, hiding behind Fang Xing.

After she hid, she poked her head out to look at the pressure cooker and asked, "How's it going?" Are you still cooking?"

Fang Xing stifled a smile and asked, "How long have you been at home?" Didn't you notice the pressure cooker cooking soup?"

"No...... Nope." Lu Xiang'er stared at a pair of watery eyes, her face full of panic.

Fang Xing grabbed her next door and pushed it to the kitchen: "You go and see, if the power is not cut off, you quickly unplug it."

"I...... I don't want ......."

Lu Xiang'er hurriedly shrank back: "You go!"

"I'm not going, you go." Fang Xing continued to push her.

"Why don't we call the fire department?" Lu Xiang'er made a decision immediately and thought of the safest way.

Fang Xing finally couldn't hold it back, holding his stomach and laughing.

Lu Xiang'er was a little stunned, she didn't understand what was going on for a while, and when she saw Fang Xing laughing, she leaned forward and back, and then slowly came back to her senses, and her willow eyebrows were upside down: "You bluffed me again!"

"No. There's nothing in the pressure cooker at all, but you

The contents of the microwave oven are almost gone, so hurry up and turn off the electricity." Fang Xing urged.

Lu Xiang'er had more than one season, and said with a flat mouth, "I don't! You go close!"

She was clearly still a little scared.

Fang Xing looked at her with a wicked smile on his face and asked, "Are you still afraid?" I've said it, there's really nothing in the pressure cooker."

"I don't care, you go over and open the lid first." Lu Xiang'er hid behind.

Fang Xing felt very interesting when he looked at her like this.

If she could behave so naturally in front of the camera, she might be able to act.

"Okay, I'm kidding you. I just want to try to see if you have the talent for acting." Fang Xing held her hands and calmed her nervousness.

Lu Xiang'er frowned and waved Wang Ba fist angrily: "Every time you do this, you know to scare me!"

Fang Xing took her hand, walked into the kitchen, first turned off the microwave switch, and then pointed to the electric pressure cooker next to it: "Actually, there is a bomb in here."

"Huh?"

Lu Xiang'er's expression was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled lightly: "This is too, how can there be a bomb."

"I took one of the crew's props." Fang Xing said.

"Started talking nonsense again." Lu Xianger still didn't believe it.

"This is the plot of the show, do you want to try it? If you can play it, the heroine can get an extra 3% dividend." Fang Xing began to seduce her.

Lu Xianger heard that there was a dividend, and she was indeed a little moved.

Now the situation of my father's company is very difficult, and if I can make a little more money, I can share more.

So, she was a little excited, but she was worried: "But...... Can I act?"

"Try it. With me personally training, maybe it can really work?" Fang Xing encouraged her to give it a try.

"What if my acting skills are terrible?" Lu Xiang'er was still worried.

"Then you just didn't pass the audition, only I know that your acting skills are terrible, and no one else knows." Fang Xing persuaded him.

When Lu Xiang'er heard that she was just trying out the show alone with Fang Xing, if it didn't work, she wouldn't be seen by others, and she was immediately relieved: "Okay. Then I'll give it a try."
