Chapter 54

Yu Wen showed the comments of netizens to Xie Heyu. Teacher Xie said thoughtfully: "It can be done. The trouble is the authorization, and..."

"And what?"

"What exactly does the perfection that netizens want to see mean? Resurrection, or daily life?"

This stumped Yu Wen again. He scrolled through the comments for a while, saying all kinds of things, but there was no unified answer.

Xie Heyu said: "I will discuss it with Xie Jiamao. If it doesn't work, we can try anthropomorphism. We can discuss the script then."

"Xianmen" has been updated for a month and finally ushered in the finale. This low-cost web drama composed of a new director and obscure artists has hit the level of a king bomb in the summer vacation, and has become the annual hit drama by itself. Yu Wen has watched in the group these days, and the director seems to be preparing for the TV series.

After the finale, the official Weibo compiled the behind-the-scenes footage from the filming and released it all at once. In the footage, everyone was running around in costumes, without any burdens, being cute and adorable, and having no brains, which slightly healed the audience's hearts that were hurt by the plot.

Especially Yu Wen and Jian Heng, these two people are simply joyful when they are together.

"Xiao Yu, what are you doing?"

"Taking a shit."

"...I'm shooting behind-the-scenes footage."

"Going to the toilet."

Yu Wen loves to laugh, and his smile is particularly sweet in the behind-the-scenes footage. Chu Laoliu is a high-spirited young knight. He deliberately holds back when acting, but in private, he does whatever he wants in the behind-the-scenes footage. When Jian Heng calls, he jumps over, with a curved eye, pure and moving.

The behind-the-scenes footage can be summarized as "Jian Heng and Yu Wen's Drama Collection" and "Xiao Yu's Beauty Strike Collection".

So far, although Yu Wen has appeared in many scenes, he has only been in the industry for a short time and has not produced many works, so his fans can’t even admire his looks. This clip solved the urgent problem. For a while, the Internet was full of cute avatars taken from the clip, and he became popular again.

Immortal Gate just ended, and the second recording of Battle Royale was announced. This episode was announced later than expected, because the recording background was on campus. The program group negotiated for a long time, and finally felt that there was no need to disturb the students’ review, so they temporarily changed the background of the second episode to an abandoned high school. They were

urgently setting up the scene there, and it happened that the audition for Director Miao’s new drama was in the same city the day before the recording, so Yu Wen went there.

His recent popularity has been rising rapidly, and Director Miao was surprised. Before the show aired, Yu Wen was right to know that he was not good enough for Director Miao's play and had to audition, but after the show aired, the situation was different.

As soon as he got in the car, Yi Ming said to him, "Director Miao asked you to play the second male lead, why don't you play it? The second male lead is a positive role, and Song Mingzhu is the villain."

Yu Wen brought her a cup of milk tea on the way, and after handing it over, he said, "I like Song Mingzhu and want to play it."

Xie Heyu had something to do today and couldn't send him off. Since Xie Heyu became his agent, he rarely rushed to make announcements by himself.

The uncle asked if he was at home, saying that he had been very upset. When he learned that he was there and Xie Heyu was not, he was particularly angry and condemned the agent for being irresponsible on his behalf.

Then he said with a smile, when Xie Heyu comes back tonight, we will give him a big "surprise".

Yu Wen was very happy to hear this. Although Xie Jialin did not say it explicitly, with the uncle's bad taste, Teacher Xie might be in big trouble tonight.

Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zhong wanted to accompany him, but Yu Wen thought it was unnecessary, it was just an audition. He gave the two assistants a day off and took Yi Ming's car.

Yi Ming sighed and said, "Song Mingzhu is not easy to play. I'm not sure."

After saying that, Yi Ming secretly glanced at the agent sitting in front of him and opened the milk tea with a snap.

Female stars need to maintain their figure, so she hasn't had milk tea for a long time. She is grateful to Yu Wen...

"Yi Ming!"

Yi Ming trembled and shouted, "I didn't drink it, I didn't drink it! I just smelled it! My Lord! Yu Wen is my witness, I didn't drink a single sip!"

The agent cast a cold look at him through the rearview mirror.

Yu Wen was stunned for a moment, and then shouted, "I didn't drink it, I didn't drink it! It was Xiao Yu who got it wrong! Xiao Yu brought mineral water for the second master!"

He quickly took out his own mineral water from his bag, turned around and handed it to Yi Ming, who handed the opened cup of milk tea back to him. The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, as if he had practiced it thousands of times.

Yi Ming: "Hahaha, Xiao Yu, you are so silly..."

Yu Wen: "What a beautiful misunderstanding..."

The agent glared at Yi Ming, then turned to look at Yu Wen with a kind smile, "Xiao Yu, your second master is prone to obesity. She can gain weight just by drinking water. Be good and don't bring snacks to her, ok."

Yu Wen nodded quickly.

When she turned around, Yu Wen and Yi Ming looked at each other, tears streaming down their faces.

It's terrible...

On the day that "Battle Royale" was broadcast, Director Miao gave up the invitation to audition and directly invited Yu Wen to play the second male lead in the new drama.

Although this is a bit of a promotion, Miao Yifei has seen two works that Yu Wen is broadcasting at the same time. Such a raw but spiritual actor is a good seedling that every director can't find.

He expected Yu Wen to be polished from a rough stone into a gemstone under his lens.

But Yu Wen refused. Yu Wen wanted to play Song Mingzhu.

The new play is called "Moon Harbor". The background is the Republic of China. In order to avoid realistic disputes, it was changed to an imaginary Republic of China without a prototype.

It was an era of constant disputes and turmoil.

There are two families in Shanghai Beach, Fu and Song, which are powerful and cover the sky with one hand. However, the two families broke off contact more than ten years ago because of the old things of their parents. Song Mingzhu, who Yu Wen wanted to play, had the most complicated life experience. He was the product of the marriage between the two families. After the two families broke up, his mother returned to the Fu family with him in her arms.

Song Mingzhu's life can be roughly divided into three stages. The first stage was before the age of twelve, when his mother raised him in the basement of a small western-style building. He had no contact with anyone except his mother and his mute mother. The second stage was from the age of twelve to eighteen, when he was discovered by the Fu family and taken back to the Fu family mansion, where he began to live like a normal person. The third stage was after the age of eighteen, when he was taken back to the Song family by his nominal father and renamed Song Mingzhu.

In just a few sentences, Song Mingzhu's life of wandering can be summarized.

Song Mingzhu and the male protagonist have an obscure emotional line, which should be called orthopedics in trendy terms. Of course, it is just a single arrow.

It was a winter day when Mrs. Fu picked him up from the small western-style building. The little boy, who was about ten years old, was skinny and thin, wearing thin clothes. The skin exposed outside was dry, cracked and red, but his pair of black eyes were warm and clear. He smiled at everyone he saw, and his smile was very gentle.

Everyone in the Fu family sympathizes with him. As the male protagonist, Fu Mingshen also tries his best to take care of him at the suggestion of his mother. However, the male protagonist has been involved in family affairs since he was a child. He is knowledgeable, mature and suspicious. He knows that this cousin is different from normal people.

How normal can a child who has lived underground for twelve years be?

I don’t know whether to say that Song Mingzhu has outstanding acting skills or is good at pretending. In such a big Fu family, only Fu Mingshen can see that he is not right.

At the funeral of Mrs. Fu’s death, Song Mingzhu did not cry or make a fuss, but tears fell one by one, crying silently and heartbroken.

Fu Mingshen said to him: "Don’t cry, you are not sad."

It was not a mockery or a question, just a statement.

It was also a winter day, and the snow was as heavy as the day when he was carried out of the basement by Madam Fu. Song Mingzhu stood in the snow, silent for a long time. Before he showed a dazed look, Fu Mingshen said calmly: "Mingzhu, you are different from us."

Different, how different?

Later, Song Mingzhu thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

He was taken back to the Song family, renamed Song Mingzhu, and missed the opportunity to ask Fu Mingshen in person. After that, the two had less and less contact, but this sentence became Song Mingzhu's obsession.

He thought that he would become more powerful, and when he could sit on an equal footing with Fu Mingshen, he would stand in front of Fu Mingshen, ask Fu Mingshen to look directly into his eyes, and ask the doubts that had troubled him for many years in his dreams at midnight.

Brother, you and I are different in what way.

Song Mingzhu was confused about good and evil, right and wrong, and love and hate.

Although he is a villain, he is neither bad enough nor good enough.

He knows that he has to pretend to be a normal person in order to obtain survival resources. Who would have thought that once the mask is put on, he can never take it off again. No one can see that he is not right, and no one can save him.

Although he is only the third male lead in terms of the role, this role is very important. If the actor is not chosen well, everything will fall apart.

Therefore, Song Mingzhu must audition. If he does not audition, Miao Yifei will not give him the role even if he is the best actor.

There are many artists participating in the audition. This is already the third round. So far, there are only two candidates, each with their own shortcomings.

In Director Miao's plays, the main cast is usually decided before the script is finished. Most of the actors are talented and talented. The female lead Yi Ming is a first-line actress, and the male lead just won the title of Best Actor some time ago. He also came today to help with the acting. There were also a few reporters outside. A small audition attracted so much attention.

After entering the room, Yu Wen was surprised to find that there was an old acquaintance in the room.

The producer of "Moon Harbor" is Pfizer Group, and this play is also a key project of Pfizer next year. The prince came in person to watch the audition, but he did not interfere much. He just needed to have a general understanding of the overall level of the actors.

Yu Wen is very popular. If it weren't for the special role of Song Mingzhu, he would have gotten it directly with his status. Feng Chengzhou didn't expect him to come for the audition in person. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and nodded slightly as a greeting.

The two didn't talk much. Director Miao saw Yu Wen coming in, and his face, which had been worried all day, finally smiled.

He asked Yu Wen which part he wanted to try.

Yu Wen: "Can I choose?"

Yi Ming explained with a smile: "The original audition segment was quite simple. If they meet someone who performs well, the director will let them try two more segments. He let you choose for yourself, which shows that you have expectations for you."

Director Miao didn't say anything, just looked at him with a smile.

Yu Wen hesitated, pointed out several passages in the script, and said, "You choose."

He had read the script several times, and he was determined to play Song Mingzhu. He must have his own interpretation of this role. At this time, showing acting skills is not the most important thing, but accurate interpretation is more important.

Director Miao's eyes lit up immediately. The passages he pointed out were all seemingly plain, but they were huge conflict nodes for the character. "Okay, then here, I'll find an actor to play your mother."

This passage is the scene where Song Mingzhu returns to the western-style building to visit her mother. It is exactly after Fu Mingshen said to him, "We are different." Song Mingzhu's state is very complicated. If a subtle place is not handled well, it may make this role incomprehensible to the audience.

After deciding the part, Director Miao looked around for an actor who could play the role of Song Mingzhu's biological mother. Today's audition was for a male role, and there were not many female actors. He scanned the room and landed on Yi Ming.

Yi Ming, who was about to steal the snacks on the table, said, "..."

Why are you looking at me?

She calmly hid the biscuits in her pocket. Director Miao said, "Xiao Ming, come and play a part in the play."

After hearing the content of the play, Yi Ming turned her head and smiled at Yu Wen, saying lovingly, "Come on, dear boy, mommy loves you."

Yu Wen: "..."

Super downgrade.

At the beginning of the play, Fu Wanrong sat in a wheelchair, and Song Mingzhu fed her medicine.

The woman's health was already very bad, she was emaciated and in a daze. A failed marriage tortured her to death. She hated Song Mingzhu's biological father, who treated Song Mingzhu harshly. Song Mingzhu did not hate her, but just felt that she was pitiful.

"Mom, it's snowing outside. It's cold. You should wear more clothes and don't get sick."

Yu Wen's voice was very gentle, his lips were pursed, and his curves were raised. He habitually showed a shy and bashful look.

He talked to Fu Wanrong about the trivialities of the recent family life. His tone was neither fast nor slow, and quite melodious.

Yu Wen's dialogue tone has improved greatly. Yi Ming is very happy. After all, this is her first apprentice, and he is a metaphysical physique. If he becomes more popular next year, the master and apprentice will directly step onto the red carpet abroad and eat melons across countries! Those days are beautiful just to think about!

The director and screenwriter watched attentively, and there was silence in the room.

"Some time ago, the eldest lady passed away. I was very sad."

He lowered his head and fiddled with the medicine at the bottom of the bowl. The bowl and spoon collided, making a crisp sound.

"Everyone says that she loves me as much as she loves Brother Mingshen, but Aunt Liu also loves her daughter. She lets her daughter wear more clothes and coaxes her daughter to sleep. The eldest lady won't let me wear more clothes or coax me to sleep."

"Mom, isn't love different in this world?"

Fu Wanrong couldn't answer him. This woman was in a very bad mental state and had reached the point where she couldn't recognize people.

She avoided the bitter medicine like a child. Song Mingzhu patiently wiped the saliva from the corners of her mouth and said, "Mom told me that you love me. It turns out that you locked me in a small room and said you didn't want to see me, which is also a kind of love. Love in this world is really strange, but I like it very much. Mom, I like you to love me."

He fed the medicine bit by bit, and the director watched attentively. It is difficult to summarize Yu Wen's acting skills because he lacks skills, but he has a natural magnetic field. As long as he puts himself into it, the effect presented is convincing.

This scene is almost over, expressing the process of Song Mingzhu's confusion and self-convince. Director Miao was just about to call a stop, and Yu Wen said another sentence:

"Mom, when you die, I will be sad."

... Good addition.

This neurotic sentence not only connects with the previous one, but also reveals Song Mingzhu's characteristics.

Director Miao was excited. If he only had expectations for Yu Wen before, now, not only Song Mingzhu, he thinks Yu Wen can even play the male lead.

He turned around and chatted with the scriptwriter for a while, and asked Yu Wen to try two more segments.

At the end of the third scene, Director Miao's expression was no longer satisfactory. He took a deep breath, rubbed his face, asked Yu Wen and others to wait for a while, and called a few scriptwriters to go to the next room.

"Moon Harbor" is an adaptation of a short story, and a lot of content has been expanded, but the role of Song Mingzhu already exists in the original novel, and she is a well-deserved male second.

At the beginning of the expansion, the scriptwriter team portrayed Song Mingzhu as the male second, but the expanded content was quite difficult to act, and at least the acting skills of the movie emperor level were required. Which movie emperor would lower his price to play a male second? In the end, the role had to be simplified, and the current version was created.

But now there is Yu Wen.

Whether in appearance, voice, expression... Yu Wen is simply Song Mingzhu.

He wants to change Song Mingzhu back to the second male lead.

Yu Wen sat down, and Yi Ming gave him two packs of cookies. He just opened the plastic packaging when he heard a quarrel next door.

"He can act! The role of Song Mingzhu needs the portrayal of the second male lead..."

"This is already the third version. If you want to change it, do it yourself--"

"Didn't you see it just now? He is really suitable for Song Mingzhu..."

"Boss, it's not a question of whether it's good or not, the script has to be changed a lot..."

It was vague and not very clear. Several media waiting outside smelled the smell and rushed over, their eyes shining, just waiting for the door to open and get first-hand intelligence.

Yi Ming was stunned for two seconds, "The director and the screenwriter are arguing? What are they arguing about..."

Yu Wen didn't understand either. Before he could say anything, Yi Ming's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Second Master was right about you! Xiao Yu, there's so much to be gained by following you!"

... Really?

"Let's go! Let's go and see what's going on!"
