Chapter 64: A life of fighting over miles, a sword that once outwitted a million men
It seems that I can't afford to get over this joke.
The pigtail caught by Song Ran +1.
"Wait, audition, what audition?"
Li Xianyu realized something.
Song Ran looked at the computer without raising her head.
"Wasn't there something on the paper yesterday? It said the third male lead in a low-budget, high-quality movie. I wanted you to audition. I've read the script and it's pretty good. You can consider it."
Without waiting for Li Xianyu to say anything.
The stewardess has already served the dessert.
Li Xianyu ate the dessert angrily and shook his head helplessly.
……
It's about four o'clock in the afternoon.
The plane landed on time.
There were already staff waiting at the airport who took Li Xianyu and others to the crew. On the plane, Li Xianyu also gained a brief understanding of the content of the movie.
The script is really good.
But I just played the third male lead and didn't have many scenes. I was just an interspersed character, but the salary was quite considerable, about 50,000 or 60,000 yuan.
When the director saw Li Xianyu, his eyes suddenly lit up.
She is over 1.80 meters tall and weighs 140 kilograms. She has a very well-proportioned body. Compared with other stars in the entertainment industry, she has a more clean feeling.
I originally thought that internet celebrities were just that-so in reality.
But when they met in real life, the director found that he was indeed a very nice person and a professional actor. Why had he never seen him before?
"Boss Song, long time no see. Teacher Li, I've heard a lot about you. Your new song "Boy" is really good. Let's work together more when we have time."
The director made a few polite remarks.
Li Xianyu also responded politely.
Song Ran was also familiar with the director, and after a brief chat they got down to business.
"Although Xianyu is a professional actor, he is not very good at acting. He came here for an audition today. If he fails, forget it."
The director nodded repeatedly.
Those who have received professional training may not necessarily be able to act, just like a 40-year-old uncle who has been playing the role of a domineering boss since he graduated from a professional school. He is still a domineering boss now, greasy and unaware.
Although Li Xianyu has a good image, forcing the role is no different from riding on the popularity, and the director also hopes that the quality of the film will be higher.
Otherwise, in the end, neither side will benefit.
"Teacher Li, you should have read the general script. Let me tell you what's going on."
The director opened the script and talked freely.
It is probably a story about the protagonists' adventure. While being chased by the demon king, they met a swordsman. The swordsman's strength was not that great, but he treated people very well. He often held a wooden sword and boasted about everything.
Until the night when the protagonists left, all the monsters gathered and were about to flatten the village and the protagonists who were recovering from their injuries.
A swordsman in tattered clothes with a smile on his face, holding a wooden sword that had been rubbed black, stood at the entrance of the village and drank the Emperor's Smile given by the protagonists in one gulp.
It can be seen that the director is a good director and the script is well thought out, but the dirty character is similar to the identity of the village guard...
The director looked at the fair-skinned Li Xianyu carefully.
I don’t know if he can bear it.
Li Xianyu was very calm, with more ideas in his mind.
"Director, I think we can give it a try."
Although Li Xianyu doesn't know any martial arts and only knows a little bit of Tai Chi, he is a professional after all, so he still has some basic qualities.
As for the action scenes, it is still very simple to surpass the level of the entertainment industry.
Hearing this, the director's face was filled with joy.
To be honest, it is quite urgent. After all, the previous episodes have already been aired, but the main character has not been found yet.
If Song Ran hadn't come to find me, I could have just picked up anyone on the street to act, and relied on photoshopping in the later stage, but the quality would not be up to standard.
"Then... Mr. Xianyu, is it convenient for you to put on makeup now and try out the play?"
Song Ran frowned slightly and looked at Li Xianyu.
Li Xianyu shrugged. She had acted in many TV dramas before, but the results were indeed very poor. It was understandable that the director wanted to give her a trial.
She turned around and followed the director to change clothes and put on makeup.
Wait a few minutes.
Li Xianyu changed his hair into long hair, which was draped in a messy high ponytail behind his head. A few strands of hair were scattered in front of his forehead. There was some dust and dirt on his face, but it couldn't hide his youthful spirit.
He was wearing a long robe that was tightened at the waist to highlight his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and mantis legs. The clothes were torn on his chest, revealing his sturdy body underneath.
Messy, sloppy and shabby, that was the first impression. But when he saw Li Xianyu's eyes sparkling with stars, everything disappeared.
The director stared at Li Xianyu with a dazed look.
At the age of twenty, I am a playboy and go out with a smile.
Song Ran looked Li Xianyu up and down. Her makeup and clothes were very casual, but the contrast they created was really good.
"Young knight..."
Somehow, Li Xianyu's figure overlapped with the little figure from more than ten years ago.
No matter how many times, Li Xianyu's back always looks very safe.
"How about director?"
Li Xianyu fumbled with the wooden sword in his hand, made a sword flower on his hand, and sat down casually.
"It's a good feeling, just this kind of...cynical feeling."
The director said this and quickly turned on the intercom.
Call the screenwriter who is busy.
When the screenwriter walked in, he stared at Li Xianyu in shock, then grabbed the director's hand and kept saying.
"It's him, it's him!"
The screenwriter walked around Li Xianyu, looking him up and down and nodding continuously.
"That's the feeling. A lazy, dishonest, yet reliable little piece of trash."
Li Xianyu: “…”
It feels like you are scolding me, but I have no evidence.
Besides, this kind of scrutiny is a bit excessive.
What's up with this inexplicable feeling of shame...
"Teacher Xianyu, when can we pass the contract?"
The director rubbed his hands together and suppressed his excitement.
Li Xianyu was also stunned. There were still auditions to be held, so why was it decided so casually?
He turned his head and looked at Song Ran.
The director then realized that signing a contract requires going through the agent and the boss, which seems like poaching.
"Mr. Song, what do you think?"
Immediately, several people started chatting.
After all, it's just a guest appearance, so it won't take more time.
There are still two variety shows waiting for Li Xianyu.
As for the film remuneration, it will be increased on the original basis.
On the one hand, Li Xianyu is different now than he was before.
Another thing is, I want a song by Li Xianyu.
Li Xianyu's songs are indeed of high quality. If she could write an ending song for it, the effect of the entire drama would be enhanced.
As for Li Xianyu, he played horse on the set.
After waiting for half an hour, the price of the film salary and the ending song was finally finalized. The film salary was 150,000 plus commission, after all, it was a low-cost project.
As for the ending song, it was authorized to a music platform, and they only paid for the usage period, which is about RMB 150,000 plus commission. It can be seen that it was very difficult for this drama to cut back on spending.
After finalizing it, he made the contract, and after it passed the inspection of his assistant and Song Ran, he called Li Xianyu a few times.
"Li Xianyu, stop playing."
Song Ran looked outside and saw Li Xianyu, who was sitting on a horse and playing the role of the "general", and couldn't help shaking her head.
“I always feel like I’m not the boss, but an employee.”
"It's okay, boss." The assistant winked and said, "We can deduct part of the money, so it won't be considered as working."
pat.
Several people looked towards the door.
Li Xianyu's wooden sword fell to the ground and he pointed at himself blankly.
"What?"
"I'm already working hard, and you still want to deduct my salary?"
