Facts have proved that there is a reason why Yan Hui has gained a large number of book fans in "Starlight". Even though he was a little surprised after seeing Sheng Quan, he quickly suppressed this emotion and focused all his attention on the audition in the shortest time.
This was the first time Sheng Quan saw the actor audition process in person.
Yan Hui's aura suddenly changed the moment he began to perform.
The gentle smile became sharp and aggressive, and the pair of eyes that originally contained tenderness suddenly became cold.
He walked with big strides, seemingly moving forward, but in fact he was observing his surroundings in secret. Nothing could escape his sight. He was like a sharp wind, always so energetic, and would never retreat from striking at all evil.
Justice, and firmness.
Sheng Quan's eyes lit up as he looked at it, and he sat up straight from his chair and looked forward carefully.
Having read the original novel, she felt as if she had seen the real 'Qin Heng' in the book, young, righteous, yet gentle, making people feel that he is reliable at first sight.
Before Sheng Quan opened his mouth, Wan Bao beside him exclaimed in surprise: "Great!!!"
He was just like a supporter, praising her without hesitation: "Great acting! That's the temperament I want! That's the feeling I want."
Wanbao is really a pleasant surprise.
Although this role has been "sold", which director has not dreamed of "the investor inserting someone into the role and the other person turns out to be a great actor and not just a pretty face", even though they all know that the probability of this dream coming true is probably zero.
Most people will be nicer to themselves. Wan Bao has seen many actors working hard to hone their acting skills when they don't have a backing, but once they have a backing, the situation is different.
Therefore, it has become a consensus that "investors inserting people is equivalent to inserting a beautiful waste or even a waste who is not beautiful at all". The dream of "the other party spending money to insert someone with acting skills" is just a dream.
But now, the dream has come true!
Wanbao died of surprise, okay?
What's more, the big money sponsor Sheng Quan was right next to him. When he praised Yan Hui, who was sent by Sheng Quan, that was equivalent to praising the big money sponsor's vision. Director Wan, who received an investment of 10 million, had no pressure in praising him.
Sheng Quan did not think that Wan Bao's behavior was to flatter him, because Yan Hui really portrayed Qin Heng's temperament and eyes very well.
Sheng Quan loves every book he reads and likes the original novel of "The Road of Life" very much. He wishes he could let Yan Hui perform a famous scene from the book by Qin Heng on the spot.
Sheng Quan quickly calmed down.
After all, she is no longer the keyboard queen who only needed to talk and not worry about anything else in her previous life...
——She is now a big money sponsor who can make her words come true~ Sheng Quan turned the book in her hand to the chapter she had read several times: "Chapter 7, the part where Qin Heng saves Su Zhi, can you act it out?"
She didn't know the rules of the audition, nor the professional terms, but it didn't matter because she was the oldest now.
Sure enough, no one in the room had any objection to Sheng Quan's words. Wan Bao waved his hand and someone immediately handed the original book to Yan Hui.
Yan Hui did not refuse: "Please give me a minute."
After quickly flipping through it, he put the book aside and got into the mood again. As soon as the first line came out, Wan Bao knew that Yan Hui must have read the original work many times and must have rehearsed it more than a few times in reality or in his mind.
This plot is about a character in the book being abducted by human traffickers. The police passed by and questioned him. The trafficker answered fluently and without any flaws. When everyone, including passers-by, believed the trafficker, policeman Qin Heng suddenly took action to subdue the trafficker when they passed by.
The seemingly ordinary plot is described in the book as full of security, and Qin Heng's character is established at once. However, text and performance are different. It is very difficult to interpret the sharpness, meticulousness and exuberant sense of security shown by Qin Heng in this passage in the original book.
But Yan Hui performed it out, doing his best and leaving no way out.
He even acted out the fight scene so well without any actor acting opposite him. Sheng Quan didn't know about the others, but she was certainly drawn into the scene.
In the end, Yan Hui lay heavily on the ground with his back down. It was a real fall, and he was not hurt at all. He still maintained the state in the play, with veins bulging on his forehead and his hands still tightly gripping the "human trafficker". After holding the other person with all his strength, his eyes were still looking for "Su Zhi" to ensure her safety.
This performance is so touching.
A sense of security is overflowing.
Sheng Quan was immediately touched, not only by Yan Hui's acting skills, but also by his all-out efforts to seize the opportunity, which anyone could see.
If she had such a subordinate in her previous life, she would have trained him well, but now...
Sheng Quan stood up, walked over, squatted down, and stretched out his hand to Yan Hui, who had just finished his performance and was a little exhausted because he had burst out all his strength in a short period of time. He was still lying on the ground, panting slightly and calming down: "Congratulations, this role is yours."
Even though he had a premonition from the looks and reactions of the crowd, when he actually heard these words, Yan Hui's first reaction was: it felt unreal.
Although he had made a lot of efforts and preparations, the thought that popped into his mind was: Did I get the role like this?
Regardless of traffic or background, was he chosen just like that?
Yan Hui was stunned, looking at the hand held in front of him. The owner of the hand was looking at him with a smile, his eyes full of undisguised admiration.
He hesitated and slowly stretched out his hand. The moment he was about to hold it, he suddenly remembered that there was dust on his hands from his "fight". When he subconsciously wanted to pull it back, Sheng Quan stretched out his hand directly and held his hand in a standard posture.
Yan Hui, who looked a bit embarrassed because he had just rolled on the ground, looked up and met the bright smile of the girl in front of him:
"Teacher Yan, you have very good qualifications in all aspects. I now formally invite you and hope you can join us at Xing Mang."
*** "Signing a contract with Xingmang Entertainment? I've never heard of this company. It won't be another fake scam company like Huafan, right? Yan Hui, you have to calm down! Last time we signed the contract, we were all young and didn't understand it, but if you really want to sign the contract this time, you must first confirm the contract and make sure it's not a scam! You haven't signed it yet, right? Send the contract here, I'll take a good look at it for you!"
"Don't listen to those people's nonsense about not having the chance and only giving you some time to think about it. You have to be calm and slow on this kind of important matter. The more anxious they are to get you to sign, the better it is for them and the worse it is for you! If your uncle is short of money, I can still help him with it. Don't rush to seek help from anyone!"
Yan Hui was on the phone, and he heard his lawyer friend on the other end suddenly get excited, as if he wanted to fly over right now to calm him down. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry:
"You know my personality. I won't act on impulse. We haven't signed yet. The other party gave me three days to think about it. I called you to ask you to help me look at the contract."
The friend who had stood up on the other end breathed a sigh of relief and sat down slowly: "That's right, with your lukewarm personality, how could you sign it just like that? Okay, send it to me and I'll take a good look at it for you. I'm still pretty good at reading contracts now, and I'll just take a look at it while I'm slacking off at the meeting. How come there are so many meetings every day?"
Yan Hui sent the contract over. About 20 minutes later, as he was thinking and pondering, his phone's Feixun notification sounded. He took out his phone and opened it. Sure enough, it was his lawyer friend:
[Oh my god! ]
[I just finished reading it. The terms of this contract are too conscientious and too normal]
[Is this boss of Xingmang Company a newcomer? He hasn’t learned how to squeeze leeks yet, right?]
[I can't find any problem no matter how I look at it]
[Is it because I am not good enough? ]
[Wait a minute. After the meeting, I'll ask our director for help. He's a thousand-year-old fox. No one can play Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio in front of him. He'll definitely figure something out.]
[Wait for me, I'll call you and tell you in detail]
Yan Hui found that he was not surprised at all by this result.
It may be because Sheng Quan looked at him with admiration, or it may be because he said frankly: "I think you are very capable, so I want to make you famous so that I can make money. This is a win-win situation for us."
Yan Hui had been rejected too many times, but Sheng Quan, from the first time they met until now, every time they met, she looked at him with pure admiration.
She even recommended him to the crew, and only said she wanted to sign him after he got the role. She also gave him three days to consider it. Yan Hui could see that Sheng Quan was sure he would sign.
This confidence comes from being frank in communication and contracts.
After a while, the phone call came as expected.
My friend was still very excited this time, but he was excited for joy: "Our director also said that this contract is quite conscientious, there is no ambiguity, the termination conditions are not harsh, the salary is relatively high, and it doesn't even leave any loopholes. It's amazing that there are such conscientious contracts in your circle."
"Are you new to the industry, boss? If the company's resources are not too bad, I suggest you sign it. Having a company is better than working on your own, and you can get a salary, which is great."
There is another layer that my friend didn’t mention, but Yan Hui also understood it.
As long as he signed this contract, the predicament he faced would be alleviated in an instant. Whether it was the salary or the promised benefits, it seemed as if they were tailor-made for the current Yan Hui.
This contract had obviously been prepared long ago, and it was hard for Yan Hui not to think that Sheng Quan had intended to sign him when they first met.
My friend started to nag again: "It's definitely not a good thing if the contract is too bad, but the terms of this contract are too good. I'm a little unsure. Do you think the boss of this company wants something from you? Is the boss a man or a woman? Is he attracted to you? Does he want to sign you so that he can take advantage of you? I remember there was someone who wanted to take advantage of you before, and you refused and even put obstacles in your way. Don't let this happen again."
Yan Hui didn't even have time to think before blurting out: "She is not that kind of person."
Friend: "How do you know? What if?"
"I have decided to sign the contract, don't worry." Yan Hui couldn't actually produce any clear evidence, but that didn't stop him from being firm in his judgment. His voice was always gentle, and when he talked about Sheng Quan at this moment, it was even gentler: "Ms. Sheng is a very nice person, and she's not very old... You can tell she wants to do her job well, and she's not the kind of person who only looks at appearance."
In order to express her respect for the male lead Zhou Zhi, who was wearing a white shirt while filming a rain scene with his muscles faintly visible, she silently took off her sunglasses as she passed by.
After standing there and watching carefully for two minutes, the sponsor commented: "This figure is well restored, not bad."
Yu Xiangwan, who was writing something beside her, closed his notebook. He glanced at Zhou Zhi, who was being directed by the director to spray water all over himself like a golden retriever. "If you like..."
"Stop!" Sheng Quan knew what this guy wanted to say without even listening: "I'm just simply admiring the green one. Don't always think in weird ways."
"Yes." Yu Xiangwan agreed immediately, and then wrote and drew on the notebook.
The next day, Sheng Quan saw various fitness equipment that had obviously just been installed on the set, as well as several leading actors who had already changed into fitness clothes and were working out hard.
Sheng Quan: “?”
She looked directly at Yu Xiangwan who was following behind her.
Producer Yu: "Because more than six actors need to show their bodies in the play, in order to meet the needs of filming, after discussing the play with Director Wan, I purchased some fitness equipment and hired a coach. It is expected that they can achieve the appropriate results within one and a half months at the latest."
Sheng Quan reluctantly believed his reason, even though Yu Xiangwan placed the fitness equipment opposite the room where she was temporarily staying.
Yes, Sheng Quan also lived in the crew. On the night when she said she would stay in the crew for a few days, Yu Xiangwan, who also just joined the crew, quickly arranged a room for her. It was clean and tidy, and there was even a bouquet of flowers in the room, which was her favorite smell.
I have to say, although the reason why Yu Xiangwan placed the fitness equipment opposite her room is very intriguing, Sheng Quan is still in a good mood every day when she opens the curtains to see several good-looking leading actors exercising seriously.
Then she admired Yan Hui even more.
Lin Aike and Zhou Zhi sometimes couldn't resist their greed and wanted to take a break during exercise, but Yan Hui never missed a session and even took the initiative to practice on his own.
When he is not filming, Yan Hui always gives people a soft feeling, but when he is working seriously, he is really like "Qin Heng", with a kind of toughness and clarity like a young poplar.
Sheng Quan looked at it and took several photos without hesitation.
Yan Hui heard the noise and turned around to see Sheng Quan taking a picture of him. Sheng Quan was so open and honest that he smiled at him and praised him: "I always feel that you are getting more and more beautiful."
Yan Hui's cheeks turned slightly red, and he lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly.
He was always very gentle, with tender eyes when looking at people. Even when he knew Sheng Quan was taking pictures, he still tolerated her taking pictures non-stop.
Seeing that the host was obsessed with beauty, the system became a little anxious: [Host, there are only twenty-six days left. Yan Hui still has zero attention in the eyes of the public. You have already spent a lot of time. ]
Sheng Quan opened the group chat on his phone, still calm and unhurried: [Speaking of 006, do you know what the first of the three jobs I changed in my previous life was? ]
006 really doesn’t know.
Sheng Quan: [Promotion planning.]
[Promoter, this is my main job. ]
—— Her fingertips flew, and she uploaded the photos she had just taken to the group she had just opened: "Sisters! See if he is good enough for Brother Qin!"
This group is the reader group of the original novel of "The Road of Life". Although the novel is not very popular, it has many loyal fans, and there are hundreds of people in the group.
Just like the various reader groups and enthusiast groups that Sheng Quan joined in her previous life, everyone talked about everything under the sun, and she had no pressure joining in. She even felt like a fish in water, as if she had returned to her happy hometown.
The girls in the group were chatting animatedly when suddenly a picture of a handsome guy popped up and they immediately expressed their opinions politely.
[Fuck! This is fucking awesome! ]
[This chest muscle, politely buried chest]
[I really feel like Qin Heng, especially when I look over here]
[Oh my god, the figurine must be a masterpiece! Such long legs! ]
[@Victory is in the air, why did you secretly take photos of my husband? I'll sue you for assaulting a police officer!]
Sheng Quan guessed their reaction and continued to send messages: [You guys think he looks like her too, right? Then I’ll let him act without any worries.]
The girls laughed for a while, thinking that Sheng Quan was just talking nonsense, so they started to talk nonsense too: [Let him act! Let him act! He can’t stop until he has performed 80 shows! ]
[Who is this handsome guy? I have never seen him before.]
Victory in hand: [His name is Yan Hui, the one I told you about meeting at the pancake stand last time. He has just been signed and I am bringing him to play Brother Qin in the crew. I am looking forward to it~]
Everyone in the group knew that the actor who was originally supposed to play Qin Heng in "The Road of Life" had withdrawn from the crew. They didn't know the specific reason. After all, neither the original novel nor the crew was well-known. They only knew about the withdrawal because the crew issued an official announcement.
This statement was also regarded as empty talk, because Sheng Quan then said: [I spent 10 million yuan on the crew, I don’t believe that I can’t play Qin Ge like this]
Ten million?
Hahahahahahaha, even a fool can tell that this is a joke.
Someone immediately released a photo of a newly debuted idol: [What a coincidence, I just signed one too, with a monthly salary of 20 million, just look at this appearance]
Victory in hand: [Isn't this too expensive? I only pay him 5,000 a month. Isn't it said that artists are paid based on the film pay and the salary is just a token of appreciation? ]
The girl with the idol photo is happy in real life, typing on the keyboard and talking nonsense: [Not expensive, not expensive, it’s worth it no matter how much money it costs if you look good! ]
Confident of winning: [I see, I just entered the industry and learned this]
Others were no less enthusiastic, posting all kinds of handsome pictures, and some even posted two-dimensional pictures:
[I signed it last month, it’s ok, but I’m a little young]
[Look at me, I’m a thousand years old and quite stable]
[A thousand years old is still too young. Look at me, who is ten thousand years old.]
[Your thing is nothing. Look at the Paramecium I just signed. It's a pity that it died just 24 hours after signing.]
The topic gradually went off track, and soon the topic naturally shifted from "Paramecium" to "Why mosquitoes haven't become extinct yet" and then to "What are you going to eat tonight?"
It was not until the evening that some group members discovered that the official blog had posted an announcement and immediately took a screenshot and posted it in the group.
[The best Qin Heng, the best you @Yan Hui]
There are some comments from fans of the original novel under the official blog, all of them asking normal questions like who this is, why they have never seen him before, he looks good and they hope his acting skills are good, etc.
But everyone in the group was stunned.
【？ 】
【？ ？ ？】
【Isn’t this the one from this morning? ? 】
Immediately, a group member who was disguised as a famous detective searched for the historical comments of "Victory is in hand". She was even more shocked when she saw it, and quickly took a screenshot and sent it to the group.
The key sentences picked out from Sheng Quan’s historical speeches are arranged like this:
Five days ago, I was confident of winning: [Oh my god! I just went to buy pancakes and saw a handsome guy who looked like Qin Ge! I want him to act!!]
Friends: What handsome guy? Send a picture for us to see. No picture, no truth, let’s see the handsome guy together~ Three days ago, the winning streak was in hand: [I’m going to invest in the crew of "Life Road", and then sign the handsome guy from the pancake stall to play Brother Qin. Let’s see who dares to ruin the original work]
Friends: Let's go together, let's crowdfund and invest to be the sponsor! Each person contributes 50 cents, and we will go and book the pancake stand! Today's winning streak is in our grasp: [I spent 10 million on the crew and signed the handsome guy from the pancake stand to play Qin Heng]
Then that night, the legendary handsome guy at the pancake stall was officially announced to play Qin Heng.
The group started to crazily @Sheng Quan. Sheng Quan, who was taking a comfortable bath with a facial mask on (Yu Xiangwan even got her a big bathtub), heard her phone buzzing, picked it up, and smiled.
Confident of victory: [Yes, didn’t I tell you all this during the day? ]
After a few seconds of silence, the group suddenly exploded.
Everyone is just talking nonsense, are you serious?!
