Chapter 64 Chapter 64 "There's a ghost!"
Jiang Ying didn't expect that her unintentional action would actually open up a path for her transformation.
One cannot continue to act in idol dramas for a lifetime. Many popular stars and celebrities want to transform themselves, but only a few succeed.
There are also those who went out to act in two serious dramas or movies, and then came back to act in idol dramas in shame.
After Jiang Ying became a hot topic, her agent received an invitation to star in a serious drama.
For Jiang Ying, it was a pleasant surprise.
"So sometimes people shouldn't be too utilitarian. Look, isn't this an accidental achievement?"
Jiang Ying was sighing there.
Her agent was somewhat unhappy with the fact that she found a little-known actor as her boyfriend.
What's the point of having a man who can't provide any help in life? Female celebrities can just marry rich men.
But seeing that Jiang Ying's life had a turning point after she had a guest appearance because of her boyfriend, she also changed her opinion of Ding Ci as her boyfriend.
This guy looks like he will have a lucky wife.
The agent now thinks that it is not necessarily a good thing for a female star to marry a wealthy businessman. Looking at those wealthy businessmen, many of them are "fake" wealthy businessmen.
There is only an empty shell, and we don’t know what’s inside.
There are also those who went bankrupt halfway and made money by relying on the comeback of female celebrities.
It doesn't matter whether you have money or fame, what matters most is having a good life.
Jiang Ying was in a good mood. She didn't care at all about the box office of a horror movie in which she made a cameo appearance.
Anyway, the so-called low box office has little to do with her.
Besides, among horror movies, the box office of "The Creepy Man" is not low. It has exceeded 30 million. Looking at the screening schedule and daily box office data, it is heading for 40 million.
Even though movie box office revenues are often billions or even tens of billions, a horror movie that can get this much box office revenue is already among the top horror movie box office rankings.
Wen Yu, Ying Tianrui, Gao Ren and others held a celebration banquet together.
Jiang Ying, who brought huge traffic to the movie, received everyone's thanks.
"Sister Ying, our new movie is about to start filming. Would you like to make another cameo appearance?"
Director Ying Tianrui was quite familiar with Jiang Ying, so he was the first to ask the question.
It has been agreed that Ding Ci will still be the male lead in their new movie.
Ding Ci has a leading role in the movie "The Weird Man", which has raised his status and given him a representative work.
He has no reason to refuse a collaborator who brings him good luck.
He had acted in idol dramas before, but they didn't make a splash. After he became popular with movies, big-budget idol dramas came to him.
But he is not the male lead, but the second male lead.
Ding Ci and his agent were both very excited. After all, idol dramas attract fans and increase their number of fans quickly.
But after considering it, he decided to give up the idol drama and continue to act in low-budget horror films.
People should not forget their roots.
Moreover, he had been filming idol dramas for several years without any success, and this movie was a small hit, which shows that he is still luckier in the film industry.
In this circle, there is no one who completely does not believe in fate.
Ding Ci also believed it, although he didn't really have any great expectations of becoming famous.
Anyway, as long as there is work and I can support myself, that's enough.
For the rest, he just let things take their course.
Jiang Ying and Ding Ci are now in a confirmed relationship. Her boyfriend is in the crew. Since Jiang Ying, as her girlfriend, has made a friendly guest appearance once, it is very likely that she will make another guest appearance this time, right?
When asked by Ying Tianrui, Jiang Ying readily agreed: "Of course I will come. Director Ying, you are my benefactor."
She wasn't just being polite when she said this; she really agreed to make a guest appearance.
If it weren't for the fact that the crew had a favorite female lead, Li Chaoyan, and if it weren't for the issues of pay, status, and public opinion involved in starring in a horror film, she thought that even if Ying Tianrui asked her to play the female lead, she would seriously consider it.
Making money is important, but as someone who still has a heart for an actor, she is still ambitious in her work.
A celebration banquet, eating, drinking and chatting, everyone was very happy.
The new script is ready to start filming, and Wen Yu also starts to get busy.
Mi Hong was probably very excited when he wrote the script for "The Invisible Man", or maybe it was because there had been similar works with similar themes before, and if he wanted to break through similar previous works, he had to be ruthless.
Therefore, there are many fighting, racing, and car crashing scenes in the script.
Wen Yu looked at the several exciting scenes that Mi Hong had highlighted for him.
There are two scenes with particularly outstanding sound effects. The male protagonist is wearing an invisible cloak and fighting with someone. In order to catch his trace, the opponent prepares a lot of colored paint.
Although the invisibility cloak can make a person invisible, when external objects such as paint get on the body, the person can still be seen by others.
When Wen Yu saw this plot, he was shocked.
In fact, this trick also works for him... He can make anything that touches his skin invisible, but if other things get on his clothes, they can be seen at that moment.
He makes things invisible, which takes time. If he keeps getting splashed with things, then...
Wen Yu didn't dare to think about that scene anymore, it was too beautiful and he was afraid.
Frightened Wen Yu decided to concentrate on reading the script, and then he realized that he had to work out and build muscle.
Have to kind of.
Because the male protagonist in the script is very good at fighting and there are a lot of fighting scenes.
Wenyu put on another set of tights over his tights to make himself "visible" and looked in the mirror.
Very good, still that amazing childlike figure.
He is thin, but he doesn't have any flesh on him, let alone muscles.
With this body shape, they have to use a body double when filming the fight scenes, otherwise the audience will have to spend money to buy tickets to watch this?
He is a spectator, and he will be angry too.
No one expected that the difficulty of their play lies with the invisible male protagonist.
Also, if Wen Yu wants to work out, Ding Ci also needs to do the same, and the two of them have to have similar body shapes.
In the previous movies, Wen Yu didn’t show his “shape” at all, so it doesn’t matter.
Fortunately, Ding Ci and Wen Yu are not much different in height. If the height difference between them was much bigger, the leading actor would have to be changed.
Anyway, Wenyu cannot be replaced.
"what to do?"
Ying Tianrui also started to have a headache.
Wen Yu took a deep breath and said, "Find a professional coach and practice! Practice to death!"
As for the height requirement of 2 meters, there is really nothing he can do about it, but as for muscular lines, he can still work hard on this, and he has no reason to give up.
Ying Tianrui: “…Okay.”
It's okay to practice, you're a great immortal, is there really no magic? Can you suddenly turn your body into a body full of tendons?
Wen Yu didn’t know what Ying Tianrui was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely kick him twice.
Doesn't he want to?
How could he not think about it?
Who doesn’t want a nice body of muscles? He doesn’t have it, does that mean he doesn’t want it?
A fitness and bodybuilding coach was soon found, but nominally, he was training Ding Ci.
Wen Yu was in another room, practicing through video, while Ying Tianrui and Xu Chen were beside him, helping him watch the movements and providing protection.
Aerobic running, weight training, and a balanced diet tortured Wen Yu to death every day, and every muscle in his body was in pain.
Ying Tianrui also went to a coach to learn how to use the fascia knife to help him relax after exercise.
So, after the life-and-death struggle, there was an additional segment every day, namely the “pig-slaughtering screams”.
Building muscle is so hard!
Who on earth is shouting on the Internet every day that running makes his calves thicker, and that doing some exercise makes his arms thicker, but why is he still so thin!
Wen Yu trained intensively for a month, but the results were not obvious, so he thought of wearing a muscle suit.
Anyway, he was exposing his body through his clothes, so no one could notice.
But he is not that thick-skinned. If the movie is released and the audience is amazed at his muscles, he will not be able to bear the praise.
Fortunately, Ding Ci's progress was the same as Wen Yu's, with no progress either.
The coach also said that the two of them were thin and had no fitness foundation, so it would take time to develop obvious muscles.
Wen Yu vomited after training, and also vomited after eating protein powder and muscle-building supplements. He trained day and night for four months, and finally, his body shape met the requirements.
Wen Yu couldn't see his own body with his own eyes, he could only feel it with his hands and by wearing a super tight suit.
With this figure, it’s a pity that I can’t take a photo and post it on social media!
Ding Ci, who also successfully gained muscle, had no requirements for keeping his new drama secret and directly posted the comparison photos.
The number of fans increased by tens of thousands in one night, and it continued to rise afterwards.
Wen Yu was so envious that he was drooling.
When will this good thing be his turn? He also wants to feel the feeling of being on fire.
Finally, "The Invisible Man" started filming.
Everyone in the crew is familiar with each other, and the shooting follows the old rules. The advantage of being familiar with each other is that there is no need to adjust to each other.
As an investor, Gao Ren was confident because of the success of the first film. His uncle also felt that since it had been successful once and the same team was involved, it would not be a big problem to invest more again.
Anyway, the first movie has already made money, so at most I can just invest it all in the second one.
It would be best if it succeeds, but if it doesn’t, it’s not a big problem.
The filming went smoothly for the crew, but Sun Xifei ran into some trouble.
His previous job was assistant director for actors, and now at Ying Tianrui, he still does the same job and is responsible for the actors.
The setting of their play is about scientific research geeks and the things they research.
Such a setting is not suitable in China, so the setting was eventually changed to a foreigner, and the address was also changed to a foreign country.
It’s just that the final scramble took place domestically.
Therefore, the crew needed a few foreign actors.
Sun Xifei found the right people, but when the filming started, two actors suddenly had accidents.
I broke my leg while hiking.
It's unexpected.
He had to find someone else temporarily.
It is easy to find extras, but it is a bit difficult to find extras from abroad.
Sun Xifei was a little anxious and angry. Seeing him like this, Wen Yu could only comfort him. There was no rush to find someone, and there was still time for the filming.
After meeting everyone and returning to the hotel that day, Sun Xifei's friend recommended another person to him, saying that he was very good and the image was a good match.
Finally, let people come directly to the hotel.
This operation is not uncommon and is normal.
As a result, Sun Xifei waited for a long time but no one came. He called the other party, but the other party didn't answer at first.
Wen Yu happened to go to his place to see how the audition was going.
"You're a foreigner, so you might not be familiar with the place. Wait a minute and give them a call to ask."
He thought, if it really doesn't work out, it would be okay to find another one.
At this time, Sun Xifei's phone call was connected. The other party's Mandarin was really average, and Sun Xifei's English was not much better than the other party's Chinese. The two talked for a long time and finally figured it out.
The other party came for the audition, but went to the wrong hotel.
Wen Yu: “…”
As expected of a foreigner, even though he can speak, he still can’t read.
Sun Xifei talked to the other person for a long time about how to get to their side from the other person's hotel, but the other person really didn't understand.
Finally, it was Wen Yu who said, "Let him stay there. Xu Chen and I will pick him up."
Sun Xifei stayed in the hotel in case they went there and someone came looking for them again. In such a situation of poor communication, anything could happen.
Wen Yu and Xu Chen left as soon as they said they would, as the two hotels were not far from each other.
After a while, the two arrived at the hotel lobby and agreed to meet there.
After entering the lobby, Wen Yu and Xu Chen looked around, but didn't see anyone. The blond foreign guy should have been very obvious.
There was no other choice but to let Xu Chen make the call.
The other party answered the phone and said that he had gone upstairs for an audition.
Wen Yu was really about to laugh speechlessly this time.
The hotel got it wrong. What kind of building was he in? What kind of mirror was he trying on?
Wen Yu asked Xu Chen for the room number, continued to explain the current situation to the other party, and went upstairs to see what was going on.
Could it be that he was a handsome blond guy who was just standing in the lobby and was noticed by the director of another crew?
He went upstairs with doubts, and found that the so-called "audition" was held in the room... Of course, he could understand why they were only testing one person in the room instead of a conference room or something like that.
After taking a look at the house number, Wen Yu found the right place. He leaned close to the door and listened. Sure enough, he could hear the voice of a foreigner talking on the phone with an awkward accent.
"Is the other party still waiting for you downstairs? Tell him that you won't go to the audition. I've never heard of that small crew. It's definitely not a famous crew. There's no point in going. I think your looks are very suitable for the big screen. You're suitable to play the male lead. Believe me, my vision is never wrong... Oh, you don't believe me? Don't worry, I'm not a liar. I'm a serious director. I may not be famous enough, but my father is a well-known director. As long as I say his name, no one in our country will not know him..."
Wenyu heard a strange male voice, probably in his thirties?
Not too young, not too mature either.
The son of a famous director?
Wen Yu thought about it, but couldn't think of anyone who could be worthy of him.
Either the word "famous" needs to be put in quotation marks, or this son is not doing very well.
"...My father's name is Liu Shanhe. You can search it online and it's easy to find...You're not very good at searching on your phone, right? Come, let me search it for you."
Wen Yu was slightly surprised. Liu Shanhe, he actually knew this director. He was probably in his seventies and had stopped making movies a long time ago.
Is this man in the room Liu Shanhe's son?
That's really a second-generation director.
Wen Yu was thinking that they should just find an extra. If such a candidate was noticed by the second generation director, they would definitely not be able to compete with him.
However, he is just an extra, so there seems to be no need to compete with others?
Wen Yu was about to leave when he suddenly heard the man in the room who claimed to be Liu Shanhe's son say, "How about this, let's sit down and have a drink and chat slowly?"
Wen Yu: “…”
Isn't this really a word for picking up girls in a bar?
Wen Yu couldn't walk again.
It's not that he's interested in picking up girls, he just doesn't like doing shameful things under the pretext of work.
Moreover, the foreigners in the film were originally actors in their crew, so they might become his colleagues in the same crew.
Wen Yu is somewhat protective of his own people and cannot bear to see his own people being cheated.
After standing at the door for a while, Wen Yu heard the two people in the room still communicating in a confusing manner.
Director Liu was only interested in sitting down and having a drink with the other person, while the foreigner was trying hard to express his talent in acting.
This is not a pure wink, but a look thrown to a blind man.
Wen Yu thinks that if two people want to hook up, even if they don’t speak the same language, they can still do so through eye contact.
If it's not the right channel and doesn't match your eyes, then it will be a waste of time.
So, Wen Yu decided to save some time for both people in the room.
Bang bang bang!
He didn't even ring the doorbell, but just reached out and started knocking on the door.
"who!"
Unless the person inside was dead, no one could resist such a knock on the door and not open it.
Wen Yu ignored it and knocked harder.
The people in the next room heard the noise and looked out to see what was going on, but they didn't see anyone.
Go! Damn it!
The person who opened the door and stuck his head out quickly retracted his head and closed the door tightly.
The door won't open tonight!
Who hasn't heard a few stories about haunted hotels?
Director Liu finally came over to open the door.
"Are you sick or not? Why are you knocking?"
He didn't even see who was standing outside the door, and as soon as he opened it he was greeted with a shout.
After I finished scolding him, I found that there was no one at the door.
He was stunned for a moment, then looked around, but still didn't see anyone.
"Running away? So fast?"
Director Liu was puzzled and prepared to return to his room.
Wen Yu stood aside and looked the man up and down.
How should I put it, this one looks pretty good. Although his eyes are a little small, he is quite tall and his facial features are all in the right places.
He dresses fashionably, but he doesn't look like a director. More like a rich young man.
I guess it's quite popular in places like bars.
Seeing that the door was about to close, Wen Yu raised his foot and kicked it.
He didn't use much force, but it was enough to make the door rebound and hit the hands and body of the person who was trying to close the door.
"ah!"
Director Liu was hit directly on the forehead and he screamed in pain.
The foreigner who was auditioning in the room was standing behind him, looking around curiously. Seeing that there was no one in the door panel suddenly hit someone, he immediately pointed at Director Liu and called out in a very clear voice.
“There’s a ghost!”
