Crossover Actors - Chapter 89
[Chapter 89]
On the TV station, Lu Wen finished filming an outdoor advertisement to record the program, did makeup and hair, and had ten minutes to eat. Just after peeling off the wrapping paper of Panini, Sun Xiaojian strode in.
This dressing room is dedicated to Lu Wen. Sun Xiaojian asked the staff to go out first, close the door, and pull out the chair to sit next to Lu Wen.
“What’s wrong, is something wrong?” Lu Wen asked.
Sun Xiaojian suppressed his enthusiasm and asked, “Have you watched the movie released by Director Zeng?”
Lu Wen said, “I saw it.”
“How do you feel?”
“Okay.” Lu Wen took a bite of bread for unknown reasons. , muttered, “Director Zeng’s usual level, but I think it’s better than his last film.”
Sun Xiaojian said, “It’s been nearly three years since the last film, is it okay? Now the original production team has Start work and start preparing for the next series.”
Lu Wen was slightly surprised: “Wow, hurry up and shoot, I really want to watch it.”
Sun Xiaojian pushed down his glasses and asked, “You just want to watch it. “Ah ?
” Lu Wen was confused by the question, “Then I still write a movie review? No, my language is not good.”
Sun Xiaojian couldn’t hold back any longer, he put one hand on Lu Wen’s right shoulder and lowered it. The voice said: “The male lead of the new film has not been decided yet, let you audition.”
Lu Wen said in disbelief: “You gave me a chance?”
“Ancestor, how can I fit in!” , “The casting director of the cast contacted me and invited you to audition!”
Lu Wen digested this sentence hesitantly. Zeng Zhen’s team, active invitation, male number one, arranged several phrases back and forth, and he gathered his fingers excitedly, Grab the panini completely out of shape.
Dong Dong, the staff of the program team came to knock on the door, and said happily that the recording will start soon.
Lu Wen wiped his hands. Wherever he goes now, he faces a good face and treats him with consideration, just because he is red. But every year in the entertainment industry, there are people who become popular, most of them go out after they become popular, like the heart of a candle, and very few jump to the sky and become a star that will not fall.
Lu Wen is very clear that the road under his feet is not stable enough, and excellent works are the most solid stepping stones. However, the works are also divided into grades, and the films of famous directors are the best choices.
To put it bluntly, starring in a Zeng Zhen movie can make him stand firm and let him rise to another level.
Before going to the studio, Lu Wen sent a message.
The phone vibrated briefly on the desktop, Qu Yanting picked it up, leaned back in the back of the chair and opened WeChat, Lu Wen said that he was going to live in Zishan tonight and asked him if he could come over.
He replied “OK”, then slid the phone upside down on the armrest, a little upset.
After get off work in the evening, Qu Yanting drove to the famous building in Zishan. He didn’t come for a while. The park was already full of flowers, and the white villa was open. He drove straight into the private garage.
Sister Lingling came to clean up during the day and was cooking in the kitchen at this time. Qu Yanting changed his shoes and went upstairs. He knocked on the door when he heard the whirlpool of massage in the bathroom.
Lu Wen put a towel on his forehead, buried himself in the tumbling foam, and shouted, “Come in!”
With a breath, Qu Yanting pushed open the door and walked to the bathtub. At a glance, he knew that Lu Wen was in a good mood. He was on the stool. He sat down and said, “Have you just arrived home? You’re comfortable.”
Lu Wen used to enjoy it, and said, “Mr. Qu, wipe my back.”
He turned his back to Qu Yanting, bowed, the hair on his forehead Drops of water smash into the foam, creating a small pit. Qu Yanting rolled up his cuffs and twisted a wet towel to caress his slightly convex spine.
Lu Wen looked for an opportunity to speak: “Mr. Qu, the agent told me today that Zeng Zhen’s next movie will let me audition.”
Qu Yanting showed no emotion and said, “Well, I heard.”
Lu Wen was surprised, he turned his head and said, “Is it all spread to your screenwriting circle? Or did Director Zeng tell you? It’s spread so fast, wouldn’t the crew decide me?!”
Qu Yanting slapped him: “Don’t move. Lu Wen turned back, the
excitement in his tone hadn’t dissipated: “I’ll just say that, it’s enough to be able to participate in the audition!”
After wiping the wet towel, a new layer of water light was covered on the skin, and Qu Yanting asked: ” Are you excited?”
“Of course.” Lu Wen said without hesitation, “That’s Zeng Zhen.”
Yes, that’s Zeng Zhen. If you think about it from the perspective of ordinary people, a great director has a personal moral loss, but how many people are clean in the circle? If you mix public and private, you can cut off more than half of the friendship.
Qu Yanting squeezed the towel into a ball, and the hot water flowed down Lu Wen’s spine. He said, “There should be a lot of appointments with you. Are there any other suitable ones?”
Lu Wen turned around suddenly, the water splashed everywhere, and he wiped the Lying on the edge of the bathtub, he said, “How can you compare it to other things? You have also watched the movie. It’s really exciting, isn’t it?”
Qu Yanting couldn’t deny it objectively. He still remembered Lu Wen muttering enviously that day, hoping that he would be able to act one day. Zeng Zhen’s film, I didn’t expect it to come true so quickly.
But subjectively, he persuaded: “But…”
“I understand what you want to say.” Lu Wen pressed the water change button, “Zeng Zhen’s private affairs, his legal wife doesn’t care, I can’t fight with nothing. Outsiders…”
Qu Yanting didn’t say anything, he knew that this opportunity was a rare opportunity for an actor, and no one could resist, and the agency also had its own considerations, and it was not the turn of others to intervene.
The foam in the bathtub disappeared little by little. Qu Yanting lowered his eyes to see it, trying to distinguish the last sentence: “I really don’t want you to be involved with him.
” What is involved, you are Zeng Zhen’s student, so your relationship with him is closer.”
The towel “slapped” into the water, and Qu Yanting stood up with wet hands, and stopped the topic in thought: “I’m going to see if Sister Lingling has finished cooking, you should wash down and go downstairs.”
Lu Wen suspected that he was wrong. However, he couldn’t figure out what was wrong. He guessed that maybe Qu Yanting really respected and loved Wang Mingyu, so he was very concerned about Zeng Zhen’s affairs?
During dinner, Lu Wen didn’t mention this matter again, Qu Yanting was even more silent, the atmosphere was a little dull, Sister Lingling worriedly thought they were having trouble.
After the meal, Qu Yanting went to the back garden to take care of the flowers and plants given by Zhuang Fanxin when Wen Ju. Sister Lingling stuffed Lu Wen with a bowl of washed blueberries and pushed him to take the initiative to coax him.
Lu Wen was like a priest holding a candle, holding a bowl of blueberry pestle half a meter away, and said, “Mr. Qu, eating blueberries is good for your eyes. Would you like some?”
Qu Yanting gave an Ouyue pine tree and said, “You eat it. Let’s go.”
Lu Wen grabbed it and put it in his mouth, and said, “Xiaofeng really introduced Xianqi to Su Wang, and the grandson said that I was useless and would be brothers with Xiaofeng in the future.”
“This is a good flower, Zhuang Fanxin’s mother is a horticultural designer, and he sends flowers to anyone’s house, hehe.”
“Sister Lingling is sleeping here tonight, I asked her to find you a part-time job, and you don’t need to contact her, she will go to work after all the training. ”
Ah, the moonlight is so beautiful.”
Lu Wen finished chewing a bowl of blueberries and said all his nonsense. He walked to the flowerbed and squatted beside Qu Yanting, saying, “Just take care of me, take care of your little idiot!”
Qu Yanting’s hands trembled, and she felt a little nauseous: “Your forty-sixth and a half feet are standing upright like a pillar, so don’t sell such cuteness?”
Lu Wen picked up the flower and said: “Then don’t get angry with a Zhuzi, okay? Zhuzi…he also has a heart!”
“…” Qu Yanting squeezed the shovel, “He still has money, and spent more than one million to buy a brooch!”
Lu Wen immediately raised his eyebrows and said, “After all, it’s an antique, and a beautiful sister also liked it and kept bidding with me. Unfortunately, there is no
Lianxiangxiyu in Zhuzi’s dictionary!” After the battle, he laughed out loud, and reluctantly shoveled the shovel into the soil.
Lu Wen tilted his head to look at him and smiled, and took the opportunity to return to the main topic: “I’m just participating in the audition, whether I can be selected is unknown, maybe it won’t be my turn at all.” The
smile faded by more than half, and Qu Yanting asked, “Have you got the script?
” Get a few scenes.” Lu Wen tentatively asked, “Do you want to watch it?”
Qu Yanting shook his head: “You can watch it yourself.”
Lu Wen responded, and Qu Yanting has pointed him many times in acting, this time he wanted to Give it a try, can he be selected entirely on his own? If so, what would be the outcome of the film.
Lu Wen went back to the building to read the script, and the garden was quiet. Qu Yanting silently planted the flowers, took off his gloves, and after squatting for a long time, his legs felt numb, and he sat down on the outdoor sofa.
The wattage of the small spotlight beside the corridor was not high. Qu Yanting turned on his mobile phone and narrowed his eyes slightly by the light from the screen. A gust of night wind blew through, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on his arm.
Turning to the last letter in the address book, Qu Yanting hung his finger for a moment and pressed the call button.
After five or six beeps, it was connected, Zeng Zhen’s voice came out: “Hello?”
Qu Yanting replied: “Teacher, it’s me.”
“It’s rare.” Zeng Zhen laughed, “Xiao Ting, how many do you have? Haven’t you called me in Nian?”
Qu Yanting said, “I don’t remember.”
Zeng Zhen recalled it on his phone, but it was too long to calculate, so he gave up and said, “Then why are you looking for me?”
Since I said some words in Qingxiaotang before, and there is no communication during this period, Qu Yanting didn’t want to go around the corner and said, “Teacher, I heard that you are starting to prepare for the shooting of the new film?”
“Yeah,” Zeng Zhen seemed to know what he was going to say, “the next part is casting.”
Qu Yanting asked, “Why did you find Lu Wen?”
Zeng Zhen replied, “I watched your online drama, and Lu Wen played it well. That’s right, he played a supporting role in “Right and Wrong” a while ago, and the director also praised him. The circle is very optimistic about him, so I suggest that the casting director invite him to try.”
A drop of foam splashed on the corner of the clothes and then condensed. When it dried up, Qu Yanting scratched with his fingernails, hurting his flesh through the fabric, and asked, “Is there no other reason?”
Zeng Zhen smiled and said, “It sounds like I have some intentions.” They were
silent for a few seconds, Qu Yanting said. : “Teacher, you shouldn’t make a joke about a movie.”
Zeng Zhen replied: “Of course, it was the hard work of hundreds of people and a huge investment, how could I smash my own brand? Can Lu Wen make it? You just need to pass the audition.” After
that, Zeng Zhen sighed: “You are so nervous about your little boyfriend.”
Qu Yanting clenched his fingers and pinned his nails on a line. Stopped, like a balloon that burst, feared for a moment when it burst, and then relieved like a relief.
“Stop talking about that.” Zeng Zhen suddenly said, “I also read a bit of the script you gave to Teacher Wang. How about it? Have you considered which director to shoot it?”
Qu Yanting replied, “It’s not that far yet.”
Zeng Zhen said, “I’m looking forward to it.”
Qu Yanting snorted, “Teacher likes this book?”
“Do you still remember the “Shadow Man” we collaborated with back then?” Zeng Zhen said, “”Hidden” has a bit of that flavor.”
The company re-arranged the itinerary to ensure that Lu Wen had enough time to digest the script. A week later, Lu Wen and eight other actors participated in the audition together in a studio transformed from an old industrial factory on the outskirts of the city.
He saw Zeng Zhen again, which was different from the encounter at Qingxiaotang, let alone kindness. During the waiting period, Zeng Zhen didn’t say hello to anyone, and he didn’t look at anyone.
After the machine was debugged, Zeng Zhencai raised his head among the “judges” and asked, “How are the preparations?”
Some of the nine actors nodded, and some answered “Ready”. After a brief “um” sound, he closed the script.
Zeng Zhen said: “Lu Wen, come first.”
Lu Wen heard the sound and left the chair, and walked towards the camera under the gaze of countless eyes in the studio. For some reason, people always have a blank mind before going on stage.
He stood still, did not greet Sun Xiaojian first, and even bowed, just facing Zeng Zhen’s position.
A word echoed in his ears.
Seven nights ago, he opened the window in his study, and below was the patio in the back garden. He wanted to ask Qu Yanting if he had finished planting flowers, but found that the other party was on the phone and didn’t say anything.
Then, he heard Qu Yanting’s voice so cold, and before hanging up, he said – “Teacher, “Hiding” will never be the next “Shadowman”.”
