Chapter 385 Uncle, how about letting me try? (Subscribe to support!)
…
The actors in the movie "Time Traveler" are very simple. It can even be said that, except for the male and female protagonists, the other actors are absolutely supporting roles. They don't have many scenes and are not very important.
This also means that the roles of the male and female protagonists are very important, so a female protagonist who is very good at acting is needed to work with Xu Kai.
In fact, Xu Kai originally wanted his favorite heroine Zhu Bing to act out this scene with him.
But Xu Kai and Zhu Bing have collaborated too many times, which inevitably causes aesthetic fatigue among the audience.
The key point is that at this stage Zhu Bing is in Hollywood dubbing for the Hollywood female-themed movie "The Bourne Supremacy" in which she stars, and cannot come back in time to film "Time Raiders".
As for Zhang Zhiwei, she is okay in action scenes, but her literary scenes are always a little lacking.
Of course, this does not mean that Zhang Zhiwei cannot act in literary dramas, but the audience's impression of her is already fixed on the number one female fighter.
In fact, Zhang Xiaosu is a very suitable candidate, but as luck would have it, Zhang Xiaosu is currently pregnant with her second child. She is now more than five months pregnant and cannot play the leading female role at all.
There was no other way, Xu Kai could only ask Chen Ruoxi and Shen Hehe to choose a suitable actress for him.
As a result, the next day Chen Ruoxi brought four actresses to Xu Kai.
But when Xu Kai saw the four actresses brought by Chen Ruoxi, his face was full of astonishment, and then he said to Chen Ruoxi unhappily: "No, I'm almost too busy, and you come to mess with me!"
Before Chen Ruoxi could say anything, one of the four actresses was unhappy. She said, "Making trouble? What kind of trouble are you making? We are all actors, and we are all excellent actors of Beijing Film Academy. You are recruiting female leads, and we come to audition. How can we be considered making trouble?"
Xu Kai had no way to deal with the angry actress with this, so he could only say to her kindly: "Mai Mai, you want to be an actress, you want to play the leading role, that's definitely no problem, dad absolutely supports you, even making a play just for you, it's a simple thing, but you can't play the leading role in this play."
That's right.
The four actresses brought by Chen Ruoxi are Xu Mai, Ye Sui, Dilia and Hani Nazha.
Xu Mai frowned and asked, "Why can't I play the leading role in your play? Are you discriminating against me?"
Xu Kai was speechless for a while: "Do you know what this play is about? Who is the actress I hired to play?"
Xu Mai really didn't know what the new movie Xu Kai was going to shoot was.
——Xu Mai just saw a message in Kai Xin Maizi’s internal group that “the big boss is preparing to make a new movie” and knew that Xu Kai was going to make a new movie.
Without even opening the group, Xu Kai casually said to Ye Sui, Dilia, and Haninaza, "My old man is restless again and is going to go out to film a movie. Hey! You see, he doesn't feel tired. He's old and not short of money. It would be great if he could retire and live at home."
Xu Mai said this on purpose.
Xu Mai's purpose was very simple, which was to prove that Xu Kai was an old man and dispel Ye Sui and Dilia's unrealistic fantasies about Xu Kai - Xu Mai really didn't want to find two stepmothers for himself in his dormitory.
Therefore, Xu Mai would mention Xu Kai Lao whenever he had the chance, and hint at Xu Kai Lao, implying that Xu Kai was not a good match for Ye Sui and Dilia.
At the same time, Xu Mai always wanted to introduce "young talents" to his three roommates.
In short, Xu Mai tried every means to break up the couple and prevent Ye Sui and Dilia from becoming his stepmothers.
But what made Xu Mai angry was that the "young talents" she introduced to Ye Sui and Dilia were not at all liked by Ye Sui and Dilia.
——Ye Sui didn’t even look at them, and Delia didn’t like any of them.
In fact, this result is not entirely the fault of Ye Sui and Dilia, but Xu Mai’s aesthetic taste is also problematic.
The "young talents" that Xu Mai thinks of are usually those who come from poor families, are hardworking and motivated, the kind that look particularly inspiring.
There is no need to talk about Ye Sui. No matter who Xu Mai introduces to her, she will not look at them.
As for Delia, Xu Mai had completely misjudged her.
Delia started working to support herself when she was a teenager. Speaking of inspiration, who can compare to her?
It is also because of this that the so-called inspirational "young talents" introduced by Xu Mai to Dilia are actually very funny to the precocious Dilia, and do not meet Dilia's standards for choosing a partner.
What Delia likes is a mature, successful, and charming man who can protect her, like Xu Kai, rather than a "little brat" who needs her care.
Moreover, I couldn't get what I wanted, and I tossed and turned in bed.
In fact, Dilia really didn't have any thoughts about Xu Kai at first, but as Dilia took the initiative to contact Xu Kai, Xu Kai avoided Dilia. Dilia, who had been highly sought after since she was a child, suddenly felt that she had met someone different.
Then, Delia instinctively followed Xu Kai's footsteps - in the past few months, she had been watching the movies filmed and acted by Xu Kai, listening to the songs composed and sung by Xu Kai, and learning everything about Xu Kai.
As a result, Delia gradually realized how great Xu Kai was, and then she changed from a fake fan of Xu Kai to a real fan, and even developed some very different feelings for Xu Kai.
It was in this state of mind that Delia was particularly sensitive to matters related to Xu Kai.
So, when Delia heard Xu Mai say that Xu Kai was going to make a new movie recently, she immediately seized the opportunity and asked, "Can we go for an audition?"
"Audition?"
When Delia said this, Xu Mai and Haninaza were stunned! However, Ye Sui showed an inexplicable smile at the corner of her mouth.
Delia quickly explained, "Yes, we are studying acting, so of course we have to find opportunities to be actors. You all know that many of our classmates have already acted in several plays before entering school, and our school has always had a tradition of students making their debuts right after entering school. Of course, we have to find opportunities to act, otherwise, won't we be outdone by others?"
"this……"
Xu Mai knew that what Delia said was right. Students like them should really seize every opportunity for practice.
But Xu Mai didn't want her roommates to have any contact with her father, whom she had no control over. It would be a joke if three of the four people in her dormitory were her stepmothers.
Seeing Xu Mai hesitating, Delia quickly said, "Maizi, your father is the world's number one director. If we can play something in his play, it will definitely be better than playing in ten plays. The key is that we can work with the world's number one director for our first female work, which is also very memorable, isn't it? In addition, it will be glorious to tell others about it."
Delia's words touched Xu Mai's heart, but she still did not agree to Delia.
Seeing this, Delia quickly advised: "Didn't you also say that your father is about to retire? If we don't act in his plays again, I'm afraid we won't be able to work with him in the future. What a pity that would be."
The fact that Xu Kai was going to retire was not something Xu Mai made up, but Xu Kai really said so.
——Xu Kai once said to Xu Mai: "I have almost achieved all my goals in the entertainment industry, so I will retire in two years and open a clinic to help people."
Xu Mai knew that Xu Kai was a man of his word, so if the time really came for Xu Kai to quit the entertainment industry, he would definitely quit and would never retire and then make a comeback.
If that's the case, it's actually quite a pity for Xu Mai that he has never worked with his father in a movie.
So, after hesitating for a long time, Xu Mai called Chen Ruoxi.
Chen Ruoxi is so smart that she would certainly not do anything to offend Xu Mai, so she brought Xu Mai, Ye Sui, Dilia and Haninaza to Xu Kai and let Xu Kai deal with it himself.
From the beginning to the end, Xu Mai had no idea what Xu Kai's new play was.
Ye Sui, Dilia and Hani Nazha followed Xu Mai directly to the crew of "Super Time Cohabitation", and they didn't know what Xu Kai's new play was.
If it was someone else's play, the attitudes of Xu Mai, Ye Sui, Dilia and Haninaza would definitely have resulted in it being rejected.
However, this is a play started by Xu Mai’s father Xu Kai, so the relationship is too strong.
When Xu Kai saw that Xu Mai didn't know anything, he knew how he came back.
Xu Kai shook his head helplessly, and then said bluntly: "My play is called "Across Time and Space Cohabitation". You should be able to tell from the name that it is about a man and a woman living together. I play the male lead, so do you think you are suitable to play the female lead?"
"Well……"
Xu Mai was suddenly speechless.
Xu Kai tapped Xu Mai's forehead gently and said, "You are so impetuous. When will you become more mature? No, I remember that you were not as impetuous as you are now when you were a child."
Xu Mai rubbed his forehead and said, "Do you know what I looked like when I was a child?"
Xu Kai was speechless after being scolded by Xu Mai, and then he changed the subject and said: "You definitely can't play the protagonist of "Time Travel Together", but I can't let you come here in vain, well... I'll let He He design a set of cameo shots for you later."
Xu Kai added: "By the way, you can be the protagonist in my next movie, The Wandering Earth."
After hearing what Xu Kai said, Xu Mai said contentedly, "Thank you, Dad."
When Delia, who was standing by, heard that Xu Mai had become the leading actor so easily, and was the leading actor of a film directed by the world's number one director, she was immediately extremely envious.
But what's the use of envy? Can Delia replace Xu Mai? However -
Then again, although she cannot be compared with Xu Mai, Delia is already much luckier than others because of knowing Xu Mai.
——With Xu Mai's efforts, Xu Kai not only agreed to give more scenes to Xu Mai, Ye Sui, Dilia and Hani Nazha in "Time Raiders", but also agreed to let Ye Sui, Dilia and Hani Nazha make guest appearances in "The Wandering Earth".
So Xu Mai, Ye Sui, Dilia and Haninaza settled down in Hengdian.
Originally, this matter had almost been settled. Dilia would just be a guest actor like Ye Sui and Haninaza, and would not have many parts.
But who would have thought that God would favor Delia at this time.
On the second day after joining the group, Xu Mai arranged to take Ye Sui, Dilia and Haninaza to her home, No. 1 Furong Village, to play.
In fact, Delia was also very eager to do so, but she wanted to go to the crew to see what Xu Kai looked like on the set.
So, Delia said that she would not convince him and would not go to Xu Mai's house this time.
After Xu Mai, Ye Sui and Haninaza left, Dilia immediately dressed herself up beautifully and ran to the set to watch Xu Kai work.
It was also a coincidence that Diliya just happened to catch Shen Hehe introducing the drama "Super Time Cohabitation" to the heroine Zhao Daodao.
Originally, everything was going smoothly, and Zhao Daodao nodded frequently as he listened.
But in the end, Shen Hehe said to Zhao Daodao: "At the end of the film, we need to shoot a group of very intimate scenes between you and my master as an Easter egg, the kind of intimacy that a boyfriend and girlfriend living together would have, like kissing, hugging, and flirting."
Zhao Daodao frowned when he heard this: "Um, director, can we use a stand-in for this scene?"
Shen Hehe shook his head: "Definitely not. This scene is a close-up, and it must realistically show every detail of a couple in love."
After saying that, Shen Hehe showed Zhao Daodao the storyboard script of the last scene.
After hearing what Shen Hehe said and reading the storyboard script for that scene, Zhao Daodao's brows furrowed even more.
actually--
It’s not that Zhao Daodao is unwilling to act in such a play with Xu, nor is it that Zhao Daodao is not good at acting in such a play, but that Zhao Daodao cannot act in such a play.
Zhao Daodao just got engaged to a rich second-generation guy and plans to get married next month.
Under such circumstances, it is really not suitable to stage a scene where Zhao Daodao is too intimate with another man - if this ruins Zhao Daodao's chance of marrying into a wealthy family, it would be a loss for Zhao Daodao.
Because he didn't want to miss the opportunity to work with Xu Kai, Zhao Daodao discussed with Shen Hehe: "Director, can you think of a way to deal with this scene? Or, think of another easter egg?"
Shen Hehe shook his head and said, "No, the ending easter egg is the highlight of our "Time Travel Together", it must not be replaced."
Zhao Daodao struggled for a long time, and finally said with regret: "Then... I may not be able to take on this drama."
Zhao Daodao was chosen by Shen Hehe. Both her popularity and acting skills meet Shen Hehe's expectations. What's rare is that Xu Kai doesn't object to Zhao Daodao playing opposite him.
So Shen Hehe quickly advised: "Daodao, you should reconsider it. After all, there are not many opportunities to cooperate with my master."
Zhao Daodao said to Shen Hehe in a heart-to-heart talk, "I also cherish this opportunity, so I rushed over as soon as you called me. But I'm getting married next month. If I release this footage at that time, what will my husband and my in-laws think? What if some bad media uses this to hype it up? Then my marriage will be over, right?"
Now that Zhao Daodao had said such things, it was difficult for Shen Hehe to persuade him any further.
There was no other way, Shen Hehe could only go and discuss it with Xu Kai.
After listening to this, Xu Kai said, "Then let's change the actor. This last set of shots is too important. Without this set of shots, the appeal and reputation of this movie will definitely be greatly reduced."
Shen Hehe said with an embarrassed look on her face, "But there are only less than 20 days left before the release. Excluding the time for post-production, we only have about two weeks left to shoot. We really don't have time to slowly select the leading actress."
At this moment, Delia's voice came from the side: "Uncle, how about letting me try?"
