yawn--
The next day, Du Yuanzhe yawned all the way from the hotel to the set.
Playing games is depressing!
We had agreed to play for half an hour last night, but Xia Ningmi was unwilling to accept being killed and insisted on playing one more round. Du Yuanzhe also had a great time afterwards, and it was already very late when he realized what was happening.
Du Yuanzhe had just sat down and taken out the script when he heard a commotion coming from the set: "What's going on?"
Xiaopang said, "The second female lead has joined the group."
The second female lead is a subordinate of Demon Lord Luo Xun. She is ordered to go undercover in the righteous sect Miaoyin Sect and has many rivalry scenes with Du Yuanzhe.
The opponent actor has arrived, and Du Yuanzhe has to go and see him for both moral and logical reasons.
He stood up and walked over. As soon as he got closer, he saw Zhou Chenlang apologetically saying, "Director Wang, I'm really sorry that Yingxue has delayed everyone's progress. So, I'm willing to personally give out one million to improve everyone's food. I hope Director Wang will not refuse."
Du Yuanzhe felt disgusted. What kind of shitty fate was this? The second female lead was actually Zhou Chenlang's girlfriend You Yingxue.
He still remembered that she had stood up for Zhou Chenlang at the charity dinner.
When someone offered to give him money, Wang Ligang accepted it with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, you are too polite. It is just one day late and it does not have much impact."
You Yingxue's schedule was set before signing the contract, and she reported it to the crew in advance. No matter how strict Wang Ligang was, he would not find fault with her because of this.
However, Zhou Chenlang's attitude is still comfortable, without any arrogance of a rich second-generation.
You Yingxue said, "Director Wang, I have memorized the lines, just follow the plan."
Wang Ligang was even more satisfied. He caught a glimpse of Du Yuanzhe and started to introduce him, "Yuanzhe plays Luo Xun. You two have the most scenes together. You should get familiar with each other first, so that you don't lose the feeling when the real shooting starts."
Wang Ligang had other things to do, so he left after introducing the two people.
Several people looked at each other, and Zhou Chenlang said, "We meet again, Second Young Master Du."
You Yingxue no longer had the hostility she had before, and said in a friendly tone: "Please take good care of me in the future, Second Young Master."
She took this play very seriously and hoped to become good friends with Wang Ligang through it. If she had conflicts with her co-stars at this time, it would definitely reduce her points in Wang Ligang's heart.
Don't hit a smiling person. Moreover, Du Yuanzhe had no fundamental conflict with the two of them. He said, "I don't have much experience either. Let's help each other."
Zhou Chenlang heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. He couldn't stay in the crew forever. It would be best if Du Yuanzhe was willing to make peace. He smiled and said, "We were wrong before. I want to treat the Second Young Master to a meal as an apology. I wonder if the Second Young Master will appreciate it?"
Du Yuanzhe shook his head: "Forget it. Everyone is very busy now. We don't have much time left for meals. It's better not to go out and mess around."
Avoiding conflict does not mean being willing to make friends, and he still has no good feelings towards the Zhou family.
Zhou Chenlang didn't care about being rejected: "Then I owe you a meal. Whenever you want to eat, just contact me."
Then the few of them separated and returned to their seats.
Liu Xu said, "Ever since You Yingxue got Zhou Chenlang as her boyfriend, she signed a contract with Huanxing Entertainment. Her resources have been getting better and better. I heard that Zhou Chenlang also helped her get the audition for the second female lead this time."
Du Yuanzhe suddenly remembered something.
Zhou Chenlang has a good relationship with Jiang Chelin, and he has even squeezed into Jiang Chelin's small circle. In the book, he tried his best to bring Xia Ningmi and Jiang Chelin together, but unfortunately he failed and angered Jiang Chelin, so the two broke off their relationship.
Given the relationship between Zhou Chenlang and Jiang Chelin, it is normal for You Yingxue to sign a contract with Huanxing Entertainment.
......
After You Yingxue joined the crew, Du Yuanzhe had a lot more filming tasks every day. After a month, except for Yang Shiyao, Du Yuanzhe had the heaviest filming tasks.
Zheng Xiao's role is mainly concentrated in the middle and late stages. This month is the easiest time for him. He will be busy starting from next month.
Du Yuanzhe gradually got used to the atmosphere on the set and arrived at the set early every morning. Even if he did not have any scenes in the morning, he would be there to watch other actors perform or discuss roles with the director.
After a month, the voices saying that he was a resource-rich guy gradually disappeared, and now when the staff mention him, they describe him as serious and dedicated.
Demon Lord Luo Xun does not use weapons, and many of his fighting scenes require special effects to present, but there are many real fighting scenes in Luo Xun's past in his memories. When Luo Xun was weak, he mostly used swords to fight enemies.
In order to perform well in the fighting scenes, Du Yuanzhe practiced sword moves with his instructor whenever he had time before filming. However, it was not enough to just practice, he also had to show the ruthlessness of Luo Xun and the sharpness of the sword moves.
A one-on-many fight scene is not easy to shoot. In order to make it both entertaining and not like playing house, Du Yuanzhe and others shot for a whole day before Wang Ligang was satisfied. Everyone was almost exhausted.
The weather in Jiangcheng was mild in October. Du Yuanzhe had been practicing swordplay for a whole day and had sweated a lot. But it was not summer after all, and it would be easy to catch a cold if he was blown by the fan directly, so he could only let it dry naturally.
Du Yuanzhe felt uncomfortable the whole day, and he changed back into his own clothes as soon as the filming task was completed.
After returning to the hotel, taking a shower and lying on the bed, Du Yuanzhe felt a strong sense of fatigue. He closed his eyes and prepared to go to sleep. Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Today is the weekend!
In the past month, Xia Ningmi asked Du Yuanzhe to play games with her every weekend. One time, Du Yuanzhe forgot, and Xia Ningmi even called to remind him.
Mr. Xia is also very regular in playing games.
Du Yuanzhe was afraid that he would be woken up by Xia Ningmi's phone call, so he forced himself to open WeChat and send a message to Xia Ningmi, and then he fell asleep peacefully.
Yancheng, Jincheng Garden
Xia Ningmi was in a video conference and opened her cell phone immediately after hearing the notification tone.
Du Yuanzhe: "I have been practicing swordplay all day today. My hands are too tired to lift them. I am going to sleep now."
Xia Ning felt a slight emotion, then turned off her phone and continued with the meeting.
Half an hour later, the meeting ended. Xia Ningmi turned on her phone again to check the message. She put her fingers on the keyboard, pondered for a while, and sent a few words.
President Xia: “I’ll make it up tomorrow.”
When Du Yuanzhe woke up the next day and saw the message sent by Xia Ningmi, he was not surprised at all. After spending a long time with Xia Ningmi, he found that she was sometimes quite sincere. If there was an unexpected event in the plan, she would definitely complete the plan after dealing with the unexpected event.
Therefore, the idea of helping Xia Ning to quit playing games by avoiding playing games is simply not feasible.
Du Yuanzhe arrived at the set early in the morning. Wang Ligang called him over and asked, "How was your trip yesterday?"
Du Yuanzhe waved his arms and said, "Director Wang underestimated me. I am still full of energy after a good sleep."
"Haha, young people are still full of energy."
The two chatted for a while, and Wang Ligang asked him, "Do you have any plans for your next play?"
Du Yuanzhe's heart skipped a beat, and he said helplessly, "You know my situation. The internet is full of people scolding me for being a resource guy. Some fans even want to beat me up. How could they find me for this?"
Wang Ligang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't try to fool me. Even though you were scolded harshly, at least you have gained popularity. I don't believe that there are no people who would like to see your popularity."
Du Yuanzhe chuckled, "I knew I couldn't hide it from Director Wang. There are indeed a few scripts that have come to me, but they are all campus web dramas. Not only are the characters flat, but the plots are also hundreds of years old. Acting in such dramas is just a waste of time and I don't get any training. I've been in your crew before, but I can't adapt to those crudely made things."
"You are just flattering me," Wang Ligang said directly without beating around the bush, "Xu Cheng is preparing a movie. He has spent two years polishing the script alone. He is currently casting. If you are interested, go and audition."
Xu Cheng!
Du Yuanzhe almost couldn't control his emotions. If he hadn't remembered that he was still on the set, he would have been even more excited.
Xu Cheng is a well-known domestic film director. His debut film entered the main competition of the Cannes International Film Festival. He has maintained a frequency of making a film every four to five years. Each of his films has won numerous awards, and he himself has won the Cannes Best Director Award.
More importantly, as long as one can play a major role in Xu Cheng's film, at the very least, one can be nominated for the three major mainstream film awards in the country. For an actor, the award is an honor.
"Thank you, Director Wang."
Wang Ligang was not surprised by Du Yuanzhe's excitement. In today's entertainment industry, the two words "Xu Cheng" are as tempting to actors as poppies.
"This is the contact information of Xu Cheng's assistant. Please ask your agent to contact him and he will give you a chance to audition."
Now that the news of Xu Cheng's casting has not spread yet, Du Yuanzhe has a huge advantage by being able to get the news in advance.
Du Yuanzhe took a deep breath and returned to his seat, whispering this to Liu Xu. When Liu Xu heard the name Xu Cheng, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
"Yuanzhe, is this true?"
Du Yuanzhe nodded: "Director Wang told me this himself."
Liu Xu calmed down his breathing and sighed, "As expected, everyone has their own circle. Our company is large and has connections throughout the entertainment industry, but we didn't get any news about this matter."
"Yuanzhe, this is your chance, you must seize it."
Du Yuanzhe also understood the importance of this matter and said, "With Director Wang's connections, it won't be difficult to get an audition spot. Brother Liu, go talk to Director Xu and set a time for the audition. I will ask Director Wang for leave later."
Liu Xu nodded, turned around and walked out of the set to contact Xu Cheng.
Du Yuanzhe sat there waiting for news, with the script on his lap, but he could not read a single word. Fortunately, he did not have a part this morning, so he did not have to worry about messing up the performance and being scolded by Wang Ligang.
Half an hour later, Liu Xu came back and said with suppressed excitement, "It's done. The audition will be held in three days. Director Xu is in Jiangcheng now. The movie outline has been sent over. I'll send it to you."
Every director has his own method of selecting actors.
徐程試戲演員從來不會提前給劇本，只會給大綱，等演員開始試戲前才會給出劇本。這樣一來演員準備的時間不夠，就免不了會有一些即興成分，而即興表演的東西總能展現演員的靈氣。
說白了，徐程就是喜歡有靈氣有天賦的演員。
杜元哲立刻打開微信。
電影名——《浮出水面》
這是一部懸疑電影，講述因為一起殺人案，讓十年前的連環殺人案重新引起關注，消失十年的真兇再次出現在警方的視線中。
僅看大綱就知道劇情會十分燒腦，能躲過警方追蹤十年的殺人犯肯定不簡單，劇情顯然會圍繞着殺人犯和警方之間進行。
電影中有兩個重要角色，一個是殺人犯，另一個就是警方偵破此案的負責人，也就是男主。
杜元哲太年輕演不了殺人犯，但男主角可以争取一下，正好他一直在健身，不用擔心外在形象拖後腿。
劉旭等他看完，問道：“你想試戲哪個角色？”
杜元哲毫不猶豫道：“男主。”
劉旭皺眉：“這個角色可不好拿下。”
杜元哲道：“這部電影就兩個角色人設最飽滿，我希望可以嘗試這個角色。”
他剛才其實也在糾結，究竟是參演徐程電影重要，還是角色更重要，最終他選擇了角色。
前世的他為了生活妥協很多，現在的他有不妥協的資格，他希望自己可以堅持初心。
按照劉旭的想法，杜元哲可以争取一個戲份不太多的角色，憑借杜元哲的演技有很大可能拿下，但男主角就不一定了，這個角色太重要，徐程考慮得肯定更多。
“那你要做好失敗的準備。”
杜元哲有主見，劉旭勉強不了他，只能提醒他放平心态。
杜元哲點頭：“劉哥放心。”
他不覺得自己一定會失敗，徐程才華橫溢，被譽為鬼才導演，他選角并不在意流量或者名氣，杜元哲在外人眼中的短板，在徐程那裏并不重要。
杜元哲只要保證自己的演技能讓徐程滿意，就有可能拿下這個角色。
至于徐程其他的考量，那不是杜元哲可以左右的，但可以讓千影娛樂出力。
晚上收工回酒店，這一路上杜元哲都在思索角色具有的特質，連洗澡的時候都在想怎麽才能把角色演得更加亮眼。
杜元哲站在鏡前，摸摸自己剛吹幹的頭發，心想如果真拿下那個角色，他現在的發型就得變了。
回到卧室，杜元哲想起還得陪夏凝覓打游戲，随手打開微信撥通語音通話，他們只要打游戲都會打通語音電話，以保證流暢交流。
夏凝覓清冷的聲音瞬間傳來：“你要試戲徐程的電影？”
看來劉旭已經把這件事上報給公司了。
“王導幫忙牽的線。”
“哪個角色？”
“男主。”
夏凝覓有些驚訝：“你野心倒是不小。”
杜元哲無奈道：“我只是想演更加立體飽滿的角色，而且我還沒演過刑警，想嘗試一下。”
夏凝覓沉吟道：“如果你的演技能夠讓徐程滿意，你拿下男主角的可能性極大。”
杜元哲聽言一喜：“公司會幫我運作？”
“不是我，是杜氏。”
“杜氏？”
杜元哲這就有些聽不懂了。
夏凝覓道：“到時候你就知道了。”
杜元哲不滿：“夏總，說話說一半可不是好習慣。”
這不是故意吊人胃口嘛。
“上游戲！”
杜元哲撇嘴：“我要罷工。”
夏凝覓：“你說什麽？”
“我今天不想當陪玩。”
夏凝覓挑眉：“誰說你是陪玩？”
“你總讓我陪你打游戲，我不是陪玩是什麽？”
夏凝覓淡淡道：“你是我男朋友，陪女朋友打游戲是你該做的。”
杜元哲愕然，男女朋友什麽的，不只是托詞嗎？
不甘心被夏凝覓占上風，杜元哲控訴：“既然是男女朋友，那憑什麽我得陪你打游戲，你什麽都不用幫我做？”
夏凝覓道：“你自己沒提。”
杜元哲一陣無語：“如果我今天沒抗議，是不是還争取不到這項權利？”
夏凝覓沒一點羞愧的感覺，平靜道：“利益都是靠自己争取。”
險惡的資本家！
杜元哲暗自腹诽。
夏凝覓問道：“你想讓我做什麽？”
杜元哲本想讓她告訴自己之前說徐程那話什麽意思，可轉念一想他很快就會知道，不值當浪費一次權利。
可想了許久，杜元哲也想不到要夏凝覓做什麽，頹然道：“我暫時想不到。”
夏凝覓：“過時不候！”
僅僅四個字給了杜元哲莫大壓力，他不想吃虧，陪夏凝覓打了這麽長時間游戲，總得讨些好處。
“我想到了，”杜元哲眸光明亮，有些興奮道：“我喜歡吃梅菜扣肉，我希望等我殺青回家，夏總能親自給我做一道梅菜扣肉。”
梅菜扣肉并不算難做，但對于夏凝覓這個十指不沾陽春水，從沒下過廚房的人來說是個不小的挑戰。
果不其然，一聽到這話，夏凝覓就皺了眉頭：“做菜？”
杜元哲見難住夏凝覓，心裏很是得意，道：“身為女朋友，給男朋友做道菜是你該做的。”
同樣的話，杜元哲見縫插針還給夏凝覓。
夏凝覓表情重新變得平淡：“可以！”
杜元哲補充道：“夏總，不好吃的話可不算。”
萬一夏凝覓随意敷衍，他極有可能吃到黑暗料理，他必須提前杜絕這種可能性。
“上游戲！”
夏凝覓再一次說道，語氣冷硬。
杜元哲心裏一顫，想到夏凝覓強勢較真的性格，心知見好就收不能太得寸進尺。
他打開游戲，聽着背景音樂，信心滿滿道：“我今天感覺很好，一定能帶夏總吃雞。”
夏凝覓淡淡提醒：“你上次這麽說的時候，我們落地成盒。”
杜元哲：“......這次是真的。”
五分鐘後
“轟隆”一聲，兩人被轟炸區炸死了。
兩人同時沉默。
夏凝覓出聲：“杜元哲！”
杜元哲辯解：“這真的不能怪我。”
他剛撿了一個空投，裝備特別好，正想着找人幹架呢，一波轟炸區沒了。
夏凝覓道：“從現在開始，你不準說話。”
杜元哲不服氣：“又不是我把轟炸區引來的。”
“不準說話！”
十分鐘後
夏凝覓看着自己的角色被偷襲打死，眉心直跳：“敵人下山了，為什麽不告訴我？”
“是你不讓我說話。”
杜元哲聲音中帶着委屈。
他也被打死了，但他一點也不傷心。
“杜元哲！”
杜元哲隔着手機都能感受到夏凝覓的怒氣，他并不害怕，反正兩人隔着十萬八千裏，她再生氣也打不到他。
過了一會兒，夏凝覓平複怒氣，道：“你能不能別這麽幼稚？”
杜元哲反駁：“到底誰更幼稚？”
“我怎麽了？”
“上局明明是轟炸區的錯，你非賴在我身上，還不算幼稚？”
夏凝覓握緊手機，道：“一人一局平了，從現在開始好好打。”
杜元哲同意：“好。”
這次游戲又打了一個多小時，兩人一局雞都沒吃，每次不是裝備太差就是碰到茍着的老六，反正就是各種運氣不好。
在挂斷語音前，夏凝覓突然開口道：“你想知道徐程為什麽很可能選你嗎？”
話音剛落，語音就挂斷了。
杜元哲連開口詢問的機會都沒有。
杜元哲咬牙。
幼稚！
小心眼！
另一邊，夏凝覓放下手機，心裏終于舒服了，她從來都不是吃虧的主兒。
......
翌日
小胖看着杜元哲的黑眼圈，驚訝道：“哲哥，你昨晚幹什麽了？”
劉旭安慰道：“角色的事盡力而為就好，你別太在意。”
杜元哲扯了扯嘴角，沒糾正劉旭的誤會，他總不能說自己被夏凝覓挑起好奇心，輾轉反側許久才睡着。
到了片場，化妝師幫杜元哲遮黑眼圈，笑道：“我給哲哥化了這麽長時間妝，就今天用得粉多。”
大家共事一個多月已經熟了，說話間變得随意很多。
杜元哲閉着眼睛，道：“想誇我皮膚好可以直接點，我這人就喜歡聽實話。”
聽到這話，衆人都笑了起來。
“杜老師，開拍了！”
導演助理進來通知。
杜元哲起身走出去，身上的氣質瞬間發生變化。
看着杜元哲離開，化妝師眼睛變得亮晶晶，道：“哲哥越看越帥，比男主帥多了。”
“沒錯，尤其是演戲的時候，那傲睨一切的樣子太酷了。”
“唉，要不是有保密協議，我恨不得拍個幾百張照片發出來，讓那些整天罵罵咧咧的傻x看看，這要不是洛尋，還有誰能是洛尋？”
“......”
杜元哲這段時間的努力還是有成果的，最起碼這個劇組裏已經有不少人對他感覺很好。
演員們磨合一個多月，變得越來越默契，ng的次數越來越少，王立剛在片場整天笑得合不攏嘴，心想還是好演員省心。
一上午的戲份結束，趁着吃飯的時候，杜元哲湊到王立剛旁邊說道：“王導，徐導讓我三天後去試戲。”
Wang Ligang nodded: "I'll clear your space when the time comes."
"Thank you, Director Wang."
Wang Ligang waved his hand: "Which role are you going to audition for?"
“I’m very interested in the male lead.”
Wang Ligang raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "You are quite brave."
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said nothing.
"I haven't read the script so I can't comment. Since you made this choice, you must be sure of it. Some things just have to be fought for. No one stipulates that the male lead must be played by a certain type of person."
Wang Ligang was very optimistic about Du Yuanzhe, otherwise he would not have introduced the role to him. After hearing his choice, he did not think that he would not be able to do it.
Du Yuanzhe said gratefully: "It's OK as long as the director doesn't think I'm arrogant."
The other members of the crew looked at Du Yuanzhe and Wang Ligang sitting together with different expressions on their faces.
Zheng Xiao's eyes flickered, and he remembered his agent's advice. He suppressed the jealousy in his heart and told himself that the most important thing was to play the role well.
Zhou Chenlang has been accompanying You Yingxue on the set today. He said, "I've always heard that Young Master Du is cynical and doesn't care about anything. Now it seems that the rumor is wrong."
You Yingxue shared the same sentiment: "We have acted in many scenes where we play opposite each other. I can see that he really loves acting. On the set, he is either memorizing the script or studying the role. It is no exaggeration to say that he is completely focused. None of us are as pure as he is."
Zhou Chenlang retorted, "Yingxue, don't belittle yourself. Others may not know, but I do. You've almost ruined the script in your hands. I don't know how many words you've written in the character bio. You've put in as much effort as anyone else."
Zhou Chenlang held her hand and said affectionately: "In my heart, Yingxue is the best actor. I will protect you, you just need to act well."
You Yingxue leaned into Zhou Chenlang's arms, her eyes calm and her tone full of tenderness: "Thank you, Chenlang."
The staff around smiled ambiguously and looked away. They all knew that Zhou Chenlang doted on You Yingxue, almost to the point of being obedient in everything. They had a common interest with You Yingxue and were happy to see this scene.
The author has something to say:
