For the first time, Gu Bei knew that he could actually make people nervous, and Zhang Guoli, who was sitting next to him at the moment, was rubbing his hands under the table constantly, looking restless.

Zhang Guoli embarrassed Gu Beidu like this.

Since entering the private room, Deng Jie has always been looking for various topics, and Zhang Guoli echoed two sentences from time to time, and the result is that the more you chat, the more dull the atmosphere becomes.

Fortunately, at this time, the waiter pushed the door and came in to serve the food.

"Hello, steamed sea bass!"

Yo!

It's really rare to be able to eat such a big sea bass this season.

"Teacher Gu!"

As soon as Gu Bei was about to stretch out his chopsticks, he was shocked by Zhang Guoli's title.

"Don't call me that, either by my name or ...... Xiao Gu is okay too. ”

Hehe!

Zhang Guoli smiled with difficulty, although he was older than Gu Beida, his weight in the circle was obviously incomparable.

Gu Bei was originally a celebrity of CCTV, personally created and directed several excellent TV dramas, and now he has established his own company.

What about him?

Because of the divorce, he has suffered a lot of criticism, and everything has not gone well in the past two years, and there are fewer and fewer people looking for him to film, so in desperation, he can only perform with the Railway Art Troupe.

An actor was forced to talk about cross talk.

Deng Jie's situation is slightly better, after all, she can still enjoy the dividends left over from "Dream of Red Mansions".

But the more this is the case, the more anxious Zhang Guoli's mood becomes.

He is a bit machismo, seeing that he and his son have to rely on Deng Jie to support him, it would be strange if he was in a good mood.

Deng Jie went home yesterday and said that she had received a call from Gu Bei, and she had something important to tell the two of them.

At first, Zhang Guoli thought that Deng Jie begged Chen Xiaoxu, but suddenly machismo broke out and quarreled with Deng Jie.

To put it bluntly, a person like him is a stubborn person, and he would rather endure it than borrow the light of a woman, even if this woman is now his daughter-in-law.

But after calming down, Zhang Guoli felt regretful again, his current situation, if he lived like this for a few more years, I am afraid there would be no place for him in the circle.

Therefore, no matter how awkward he was, Zhang Guoli still followed Deng Jie.

begged in person, Zhang Guoli couldn't open his mouth at all, so he could only wait for Gu Bei to take the initiative to say it.

"I asked the two of you to meet today, mainly because I want to discuss something with you!"

Gu Bei said, and took out the script he had brought with him when he went out in the morning.

"Prime Minister Liu Luoguo".

The two of them knew that this was a script when they looked at the cover, did they want to find them to film?

Zhang Guoli hasn't taken the show for half a year, and he has been going down to the grassroots to comfort the railway workers.

If there is really filming, maybe it can help Zhang Guoli slow down.

Besides, which of the three dramas filmed by Gu Bei is not popular!

After acting in Gu Bei's play, he may really be able to turn around.

Gu Bei didn't know what the two of them were thinking, and after taking out the script, he introduced it.

"Probably that's what it means, this is not the official history, it's a joke drama, have you heard of "Joke about Qianlong" on the treasure island?"

Deng Jie shook his head, and Zhang Guoli nodded.

"It's that routine, and in addition, the story also borrows some stand-up comedy, Brother Zhang should be more familiar with it."

Zhang Guoli laughed when he heard this, but he laughed a little crying.

Although he does like cross talk, it's just a hobby, and now he really talks about cross talk, which is forced by life.

"I've listened to Mr. Liu's recording, and I've also read Mr. Hou's book."

Mr. Hou that Zhang Guoli said is Mr. Hou Baolin, the famous master of cross talk.

At the beginning, Zhang Guoli met the third son of the Hou family by chance, and the two hit it off at first sight and had a good relationship.

Later, Zhang Guoli's unit was in a recession, and all the actors came out to make a living, he moved to the capital, that is, he lived in Hou's house, and he was fortunate to have contact with Master Hou, and the old man gave him guidance on cross talk skills.

Zhang Guoli was talking, but he was thinking in his heart, if it was this play, what role he could play in it.

Luo Guozi Liu Yong is definitely not playing, although he is very popular with the people, but in various art forms, Liu Yong's external image is not very good, and he can be said to be "ugly".

Zhang Guoli's own image is very good, and he is not close to Liu Yong.

That's ......

And Shen?

It doesn't seem to work, He Shen in stand-up comedy is a harlequin, which doesn't match his image and temperament.

It should be Qianlong for so long.

There are only three main characters in the monarch and minister fight.

You can't ask him out on purpose, just to let him play a supporting role, right?

"There are three protagonists in this play, Liu Yong, He Shen, the actors of the two roles, I have basically decided, Brother Zhang, I want to ask you to play Emperor Qianlong, you ...... Interested? ”

Really.

Zhang Guoli couldn't say how happy he was when he heard it, since it was a script adapted from stand-up comedy, the core of the whole play must be Liu Luoguo, and the weight of the remaining two, and Shen was also heavier than Emperor Qianlong.

In his opinion, there is not much room for this role to play, but there is a scene to film.

"I'm fine."

"Another ......"

Gu Bei continued.

"I also want to ask you to be the director of this play!"

Belch......

Hearing this, Zhang Guoli was directly stunned.

What did Gu Bei say just now?

Zhang Guoli subconsciously wanted to pluck out his ears, wondering if he was hallucinating.

Director?

Although he has always fantasized about being a director, when he was filming before, he often asked the director for advice.

But the problem is, he hasn't done it!

Why did Gu Bei suddenly ask him to be a director?

"That...... Small...... Look at...... Mr. Gu! ”

Zhang Guoli finally didn't call out the name "Xiao Gu".

"You just said, let me be the director of this play? I...... Did I hear me right? ”

Deng Jie also came back to her senses at this time, and like Zhang Guoli, she also thought that she had heard something.

"Teacher Gu, the country is altruistic......"

Gu Bei waved his hand and said with a smile: "You two heard it right, I really want to ask Brother Zhang to be the director of this play." ”

At the beginning, when he was going to shoot "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", Gu Bei really didn't put Zhang Guoli on the director's candidate list, but he contacted several old directors, but when the other party heard that it was a private film and television company, they all refused.

Gu Bei didn't want to go into battle by himself, so he remembered that Zhang Guoli had also directed many film and television dramas in his previous life, especially the two drama series he developed himself, "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" and "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan", both of which he directed himself.

So there was the call yesterday, if you just want to invite the two of them to act, naturally you don't need Gu Bei to invite you in person, just hand it over to Zhang Li.

"How? Interested? ”

"Yes, yes!"

Zhang Guoli couldn't wait to reply, it was completely different from just now.

"It's just...... Mr. Gu, can you really trust me? ”

Gu Bei smiled: "There's nothing you can't believe." ”

"But I've never been a director before."

"Before I made "Know", I didn't work as a director, you are an actor, I am just an artist."

Zhang Guoli listened and pondered carefully: In this way, my starting point is quite high.

"Also...... Deng Jie, there is also a character in this play who is Liu Yong's wife, and her identity is set to be the daughter of the sixth prince, I want to invite you to play it, no problem, right? ”

Deng Jie didn't speak, just nodded, she was worried at the moment.

Gu Bei suddenly asked Zhang Guoli to be the director, although it was her husband, she was still not at ease, just now Gu Bei also said that this drama was invested by his newly established company.

In case you mess up......

What's that going on?

Gu Bei didn't think about it so much, he still has a lot of confidence in this most famous husband and wife in the domestic film and television industry in the future.

"Brother Zhang, this drama needs to be prepared as soon as possible, for specific things, you contact Zhang Li, Deng Jie has her contact information, I plan to start filming early next year, the time is a little tight, you work harder."

"No problem, no problem!"

Zhang Guoli is now full of thoughts that he is going to be a director, and he doesn't think much about what Gu Bei said.

On the contrary, Deng Jie is much calmer than Zhang Guoli.

"Teacher Gu, start the machine at the beginning of next year, and now there is not much time left, right...... Too hasty? ”

She came out of the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", and the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" took several years just to prepare.

Although most of the time is spent on scene selection, actor selection, and actor training, the crew alone needs time to build a team.

This is Zhang Guoli's first drama transformed into a director, and he has to be meticulous in every aspect.

"I can't help it! The key is that Director Ruan's side is urging tightly. ”

Since I went to see Ruan Ruolin that day, the two sides verbally agreed on cooperation, and the old lady called Gu Bei from time to time to inquire about the progress.

"Also, my company has just been established, and I need to get results as soon as possible, you know what I mean?"

As the first person to eat crabs, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at whether I can eat this bite or not.

Hearing Gu Bei say this, Deng Jie couldn't say anything more.

Since Gu Bei believed in Zhang Guoli, they naturally had to help Gu Bei share his worries.

"I have no problem here, Mr. Gu, this script ...... I'll take it back. ”

Zhang Guoli was about to get up as he spoke.

Seeing this, Gu Bei stopped him with tears and laughter.

"Brother Zhang, the dishes are all ready, let's eat the meal!"

Belch......

Zhang Guoli also reacted and sat down awkwardly, but how could he still eat at this time, he just wanted to go home as soon as possible and study the script well.

After a few bites, he scattered.

Zhang Guoli and Deng Jie went home.

There is still one "White Eyebrows Hero" left, and Gu Beike made it difficult to choose the director.

He didn't expect those well-known directors to be so reluctant to film for his company.

Do you really want to do it yourself?

Gu Bei sat in the car and thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to go to Ruan Ruolin for an idea first.

Some people died, but not completely......
