Chapter 58: The Future Is Yours
The whole journey from Chongqing to Modu is about 1,700 kilometers.
The distance is very long, and I didn't let my parents send it.
Jiang Yan sat on the plane to the magic capital, so he was really bored, so he could only take out the movie script that he had memorized well from his bag and read it again.
He had been exposed to a lot of scripts before.
However, they are basically simple short dramas of the nature of micro-films, remake short films, and variety show plots.
So the first time I got a script with all kinds of storyboard notes and characters' psychological demeanors and actions marked in such detail, Jiang Yan did have a different sense of novelty.
People are always sad and worried about the unknown.
Jiang Yan is no exception.
Fortunately, Hao Mei played by him is only a small supporting role.
There are not many scenes, and there are no one-man shows.
This also means that he can work and learn from the back of a group of experienced veteran actors.
For a newcomer who has never been in contact with the daily shooting operation of a serious commercial crew before, such an arrangement can indeed be much more reassuring.
In short, although others say that Jiang Yan is very talented and spiritual, he himself does not think so.
He always felt that the stupid bird had to fly first.
And he's the stupid bird.
Therefore, he needs to take action earlier and devote more time and energy to it in order to make up for the natural defect of low starting point.
While figuring out the psychological state of the character, he scribbled on the script with a water-based pen.
When you get tired of watching, you close your eyes and squint for a while.
When I opened my eyes again and woke up, there was already an orange sunset outside the window, and the later it was, the thicker it became.
The sunset outside was certainly intoxicatingly beautiful, but Jiang Yan felt that he didn't need to be too partial, because he was having the brightest dawn in his life at the moment.
I took out my phone and recorded the beautiful scenery.
Jiang Yan smiled in his heart.
He felt that he was young and had a lot to offer.
The departure time was half past four in the afternoon, and after a short flight of two and a half hours, we finally arrived at the bustling big city of Magic Capital when the night was shrouded.
Follow the flow of people out of Hongqiao Airport, meet with the agent, and take the car to the hotel where the crew stays.
"How's the script going?" Cai Yuan, who was in the back row, turned her head to look at Jiang Yan and took the lead in opening the topic.
The two of them had only had a few contacts and exchanges on WeChat and phone before, so after meeting at this time, they really need to get closer to each other to facilitate future work.
After all, if nothing else, they will be a close partnership at work for a long time to come.
"The lines are almost all memorized." Jiang Yan shrugged his shoulders, "After all, that's all I have for this role!" If you can't memorize this, you either have a problem with your brain, or you don't care at all. ”
"It's good for newcomers who have just entered the industry to play two supporting roles and accumulate crew experience, so that you won't be scared when you take on the leading role." Cai Yuan explained: "If you don't play a supporting role well, generally no one will blame you, but if the protagonist doesn't play well, not only will the audience point fingers, but it may even affect the follow-up development and play." ”
This is the case with the koi fish that were created in later generations.
Originally, the film and television resources were quite good, and the traffic and popularity of passers-by were also quite good, but due to their own acting skills, they were really limited, which led to the successive failures of follow-up works.
This also makes the rating of film and television projects looking for her to play the heroine lower and lower, further deepening the trend of a vicious circle, and it is difficult to develop it again.
"I know." Jiang Yan nodded seriously.
Although it is impossible for him not to know these simple truths that everyone knows, there is no need to be long-winded.
For your own good preaching, just listen honestly.
It's always good that someone cares.
"One more thing, Nortel's registration time for this year's art exam is January 6th, and you remember to register online in two days." Cai Yuan glanced at the memo on her phone and reminded.
"Then if I only apply for Nortel's art exam, do you think it's okay, Sister Yuan? I don't think about the Chinese drama for the time being, I have to go to the imperial capital to film in February, and I feel like it's a waste of time to fly between the imperial capital and the magic capital. ”
Jiang Yan has some hot topics that focus on the outside world, and naturally he doesn't need art examination rankings to attract traffic.
"Yes, there's nothing that can't be done, as long as the students with acting experience meet the cultural standards, it is difficult to fail to get into the university, don't think of Nortel Chinese Opera as too high-end." Cai Yuan comforted her.
"Well, I actually understand everything." Jiang Yan sighed, laughed and laughed at himself: "But there is no way, after all, I haven't even studied much in high school, and it is understandable that I am sincerely afraid of taking the university entrance examination!" ”
The old Jiang family has never had a college student in these generations.
Although Jiang Yan's parents didn't put pressure on him and kept saying that doing what he likes was the most important thing, Jiang Yan still hoped that he could be admitted to a good university to make them happy.
The wish of ordinary parents is so simple.
......
When he arrived at the hotel where he stayed, after checking into the room under the guidance of his agent and putting away his luggage, the first thing Jiang Yan did was to find the director and others to officially report in.
Director Zhao Tianyu seemed very happy about the arrival of Jiang Yan and others, at least his expression looked very happy.
This is an actor inserted by the management!
As a director, although he doesn't need to deliberately kneel and lick, he can't be too perfunctory and casual.
So Zhao Tianyu pulled the son of the management and said a lot of polite words that were not nutritious, encouraging him to work hard and film seriously during this time, and the future is his.
Approaching eleven o'clock in the evening, Jiang Yan finally finished all his social work and returned to his room to rest.
The hot water from the shower washed his body, and Jiang Yan, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but hum softly.
"Mom said a lot of things don't worry too much, it's just that the sense of mission has found me, I can't sleep, if you say scolding has to be a little skillful, I'll add some melody, you will feel super cock, my gun won't load ammunition, so rest assured..."
To be honest, although there were some twists and turns in the beginning, he was satisfied with everything from the beginning of his return to China until now.
Whether it was being fired at KFC for others, or submitting resumes online, finding a job as a model in a Taobao online store, and going to Hangzhou to work alone.
Regardless of the outcome, he has no regrets about every choice and decision he has made in the past two months.
Everything he has experienced during this time has a special meaning that is different from other things to him.
And he has only one goal now: to play his role well, make this movie well, and strive to become a good actor who can be recognized by everyone.
Those kind words that the director just said to him...
It's fake, but he's real.
"The future is yours."
Jiang Yan really thinks so.
He doesn't feel like he's worse than anyone else.
Blow your hair out after taking a shower.
Jiang Yan found that his phone screen lit up.
He absentmindedly picked up his phone.
The next second, his gaze suddenly froze.
[Jisoo, 21st birthday.] 】
It's a reminder that was edited in advance last year.
January 2nd at 23 o'clock... 0:00 on January 3.
When you think about it, it seems like it's about time.
