Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 290 Go to Beijing to pray to the gods!
"The Beginning" is an unconventional drama. In the original time and space, its large-scale popularity mainly relies on two points - the novel plot setting and the god-level performance of all the supporting characters.

As for the male and female protagonists...they are basically just tools living in the editing.

Among all the supporting roles, the most awesome one is naturally Aunt Guo.

How strong is this character?
To sum it up in one sentence - Teacher Liu, who played Auntie Guo, became the first person to win the Magnolia Best Supporting Actress Award for an online drama.

But the reason why this character became so popular, apart from the setting, is the acting.

Without Mr. Liu’s amazing performance, this character wouldn’t have reached that height, and the drama might not have been so popular.

Therefore, the selection of the person for this role must be made with extreme caution.

Shanhai Film and Television was obviously aware of this, so they simply invited Zhou Hao over to decide on the role of Aunt Guo together.

After discussing for a long time, we still couldn't find a suitable one.

There are quite a few actresses who have volunteered these days, but after screening them one by one, none of them are suitable.

Either the offer is too high and they are not willing to hire you, or your business ability is too poor to match the role.

Even several of Shanhai Film and Television's own actresses were all rejected.

The supporting roles can be done with ease, but as the soul figure, you must never be careless.

In the end, Zhou Hao had no choice but to contact Guo Chen and ask him for help with advice.

Guo Chen has been confirmed to have been invited to play the role of bus driver Wang Xingde in the play, who is also Aunt Guo’s husband, so he is not an outsider in any sense.

After all, Guo Chen graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, and his connections in the circle were extremely solid. He soon thought of a good candidate.

"I have a senior sister named Yang Weihong. Do you still remember her?"

Zhou Hao looked confused. As a visitor from Earth, he knew nothing about this name.

There were no relevant clues left in the original owner's memory.

Obviously, this is not a big star.

But after Peter Lam narrowed his eyes and thought for a long time, he tentatively asked, "Who played Yang Sanjie back then?"

"Yes, that's her." Guo Chen nodded and said, "Her age and appearance are both suitable. As for her acting skills... that's the last thing to worry about."

Peter Lam nodded, his words were not an exaggeration at all.

Yang Weihong did not act in many film and television works back then, but each role he played was almost a king-level existence, and several clips of her were selected into the teaching materials of the Central Academy of Drama and Yanying!
When it comes to acting, there are few actresses of the same age who can compare with her, let alone surpass her. But the problem is... this sister doesn't like acting!

To be more precise, she doesn't like acting in TV movies, but prefers acting in dramas!
After she left behind several classic works, she went straight back to the drama theater and has not appeared in theaters since then.

In the past few years, she has won more than half of the awards available in the drama circle, and the full cabinet of trophies is the best proof of her strength.

No kidding, that is the ace level of the national team!
This candidate is very good, very good, but the problem is...how to invite this person?
Over the years, countless film crews have wanted to invite her to perform, but none of them have succeeded.

The script of "The Beginning" is indeed good, but it is just good, and not enough to allow a retired great star to return to the stage.

"How about this, the others shouldn't go, otherwise their purpose will be too obvious." Guo Chen said: "Zhou Hao, you come with me, just visit and get to know the seniors."

Lin Jianyue's eyes rolled, and he instantly understood Guo Chen's plan, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."

Zhou Hao didn't figure it out until he got on the plane, "What do you mean by taking me alone?" "Give me a glass of iced Americano, thank you." After greeting the stewardess, Guo Chen whispered, "My senior sister is a complete drama fanatic. People in the circle say that I am a drama maniac, but compared to her, I can be considered as not doing my job properly."

"In her eyes, the salary and status are nothing. As long as the script is good and the role is challenging, she is willing to act."

"She chose to quit the industry eight years ago because she saw that the atmosphere of the industry was getting worse and worse, the quality of scripts and actors was getting worse and worse, and every time she acted, she had to compromise with those traffic stars who knew nothing. She couldn't accept such a working environment, so she simply went back to acting in dramas."

Zhou Hao nodded, feeling admiration.

This is a real actor. Unfortunately, the entertainment industry of this era can no longer accommodate such pure actors.

"Over the years, many companies and crews have wanted to invite her to act in movies. They have tried every possible way, but all have come back empty-handed."

"Summarizing their failed experiences, we can draw a conclusion - you can't defeat her with material and vanity things. If you want to invite her out of retirement, you can only find a way to touch her soul."

Zhou Hao was confused. "Can you be more direct? What exactly do you want to do?"

Guo Chen rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you want to impress a drama fanatic, what do you think is the most reliable thing?"

After a little thought, Zhou Hao finally understood.

Damn, it turns out you were eyeing my script library!

"It's definitely not possible to impress her with just 'The Beginning'. The role of Auntie Guo is indeed good, but it's not enough to make her come out of retirement." Guo Chen chuckled, "So you have to think carefully, is there a better script that can make her ecstatic and unable to let go?"

Zhou Hao sighed speechlessly. After going around in circles for so long, I still have to rely on myself!

There are indeed many good works in his mind, but as to which one can impress that drama-crazy senior... he is not sure.

After all, the brain waves of literary young women are different from those of others. A script that everyone is optimistic about may be worthless in her eyes, and a script that everyone thinks is rubbish may be a treasure in her eyes...

We need to solve specific problems in a specific way.

When I returned to Yanjing, I felt a chill as soon as I got off the plane.

As the Lantern Festival approaches, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival has not yet faded in the capital, and festive lights and decorations can be seen everywhere.

After getting off the plane, I got in the car and headed straight to the senior's residence.

Sister Yang's family was quite well-off, but she went to Huairou and bought a compound to live in so that she could practice martial arts on a daily basis.

Firstly, the environment is quiet, and secondly, you don’t have to worry about disturbing your neighbors.

Before visiting, Zhou Hao did not forget to buy some nourishing gifts.

Don't worry about whether people appreciate these gifts or not, it's always impolite to go to someone's house empty-handed.

When they arrived at the place, Zhou Hao was secretly surprised as soon as he got out of the car.

Is there such a shabby courtyard in the suburbs of the imperial city?
If you don’t know, you would think you have traveled back to decades ago!

One could even smell the stench of excrement in the air. It was estimated that most of these courtyards did not have toilets, and people had to carry urine pots out to dispose of urine in a centralized manner every day...

"Let's go." Guo Chen patted his shoulder, "Don't make that expression later. She hates vulgar people who despise the poor and love the rich the most."
