This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 165 Call me sister, don't be so distant
Li Qiang originally had no good impression of Hao Yun.

According to his idea, he should find an actor from Anyang to play this role.

Even if you are a student, you can do it.

Unfortunately, the matter of casting is completely beyond his control.

He felt that Hao Yun was a lucky guy who got the role through connections.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Hao Yun used Jiang Wen’s relationship to get what he wanted.

Jiang Wen: If you don’t want him, then I should do it?
Gu Changwei couldn't refuse at all.

Li Qiang showed the manuscript to Hao Yun. He did not expect that Hao Yun had memorized his manuscript. This respect made him burst into tears in an instant.

Today we meet a true friend, and I am so happy that I want to fly.

"We have to use the local dialect for this film, right?" Hao Yun was very satisfied with the screenwriter's performance and felt that his hard work was worth it.

"Yes, Anyang dialect. I will ask a local to teach you when the time comes." Gu Changwei nodded.

Screenwriter Li Qiang is a local, but he has spent most of his time in the capital. After more than a decade, he no longer speaks the local dialect fluently.

"Can someone record my lines in the local dialect? I have a tape recorder," asked Hao Yun.

"Ok, Ok!"

Gu Changwei was extremely satisfied. Not to mention Jiang Wen, he loved this kind of guy too much.

I sent him home when he was drunk and helped him explain to his wife.

I lost more than ten pounds in just over half a month.

I gave him a manuscript to look at, and he memorized it stupidly.

Now he is actively asking to memorize the lines.

Gu Changwei immediately asked someone to make arrangements for Hao Yun, and the script and recording were soon handed to Hao Yun.

Although the lines may change during filming, it will definitely be more convenient to shoot if you write them down first.

If all actors had this awareness, the efficiency of filming would definitely be high.

Many actors memorize their lines on the spot.

Some even have to use a prompter.

On the afternoon of the second day after Hao Yun arrived in Anyang, other actors came one after another, including his parents in the play.

One is Huang Meiying, who plays the mother of three siblings in the play.

She is an actress of the August 90st Film Studio, with the rank of full-time division commander. In , she played Wang Yaru in the film "Desire".

Her last drama was "The Story of a Noble Family", in which she played Mrs. Leng, Leng Qingqiu's mother.

This TV series will be premiered nationwide on CCTV-3's prime time on March 20, next month.

Zhao Yiwei, who plays the father, looks like an old farmer, but he graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and is a real veteran actor.

Hao Yun got 140 and 160 attribute points from them respectively.

Finally I breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Jingchu, who plays the sister, is not even as good as Hao Yun and has no decent works at all.

If he can't get any attributes from the people who play his parents, then he most likely has no source of acting attributes in this crew.

Hao Yun didn't stay in the hotel all the time.

This movie requires a large number of extras, so the crew set up their gear on the street to recruit extras on the spot. Hao Yun volunteered to take part and took a guest role as the assistant casting director.

By the way, you can practice Anyang dialect.

"Do you think I'll win?"

"Medium, mediocrity!"

"Really fifty dollars a day?"

"Really? Sign the contract and put your fingerprints on it!"

Fifty yuan a day was definitely a high salary in that era, so it attracted a large number of rural residents.

Everyone is included, since they are all extras anyway.

Older people basically just do it for the money.

Young people still have dreams.

They knew something about Hao Yun and knew that he entered the entertainment industry as an extra.

I would ask him some questions about being an actor. What could Hao Yun say?

Without plug-ins, most people probably wouldn’t be able to make it.

But the reason why a dream is a dream is because it seems beautiful and far away.

All passions, no matter how ordinary, will eventually turn to ashes in the vastness; and choosing ideals or reality is nothing more than an explanation to oneself.

There is no right or wrong, no high or low.

Some people gain the peace of mind of looking forward to tomorrow, while others gain the richness of memories in old age.

Therefore, Hao Yun neither encouraged them to pursue their dreams nor poured cold water on them to make them give up. He just smiled gently and answered the questions they wanted to know.

In the movie "Peacock", there is a character of an officer, who is a young man sent from the capital to recruit paratroopers.

He speaks Mandarin with a Beijing accent, and his smile to people is as warm as a spring breeze.

He is the personification of the dreams of a small town girl, representing advancement, cleanliness and endless possibilities.

Although he only stayed for a few days before leaving, he never left the dream of his sister in the play.

This is probably what Hao Yun means to the young girls in this small town.

"Who is Hao Yun?" Someone called Hao Yun's name.

"Here!" Hao Yun stood up so that people could see him and he could also see the person who called him.

Director Gu Changwei came with a middle-aged man.

"This is Hao Yun, this is Boss Dong, our investor." Gu Changwei introduced them.

Many people would think that the director is the most powerful person in the entire crew, but in fact, directors are rarely ranked as the most powerful.

The rich ones are the boss.

"Brother Dong!" Hao Yun shook hands with the other party and gained a lot of wisdom from him.

It seems that this investor is not very generous.

"I heard Jiang Wen mention you." Dong Ping thought Hao Yun was quite interesting when he heard that Hao Yun had memorized Li Qiang's manuscript.

This reminded him of Ma Dagang.

When Ma Dagang was just starting out, he put in a lot of effort to curry favor with Wang Shuo, the "tough guy in Beijing".

He first found Zheng Xiaolong, and at his request, Zheng Xiaolong introduced Ma Dagang and Wang Shuo to each other.

In front of Wang Shuo, Ma Dagang memorized the entire book "Half Flame, Half Sea Water".

High-end flattery is so simple and unpretentious.

Human beings are social animals. Who doesn’t like to hear praises from others in the group?

As a result, Ma Dagang became a peripheral member of Wang Shuo's gang.

"Do you know me, Uncle Jiang?" Hao Yun showed confusion at the right time, but in fact he knew Dong Ping.

This man has invested in, produced and distributed many classic works, including Ma Dagang's "Never Ending", Jiang Wen's "The Devils", Zhang Yimou's "If You Are the One", etc. He is currently a hot figure in the capital circle.

Shi Xiaoqiang is a top student, and top students never do things by the book.

When Hao Yun took on the role in the drama "Peacock", he looked up all the relevant information about the drama.

For example, when checking Gu Changwei, Shi Xiaoqiang compiled all the movies he participated in and listed the before and after scenes of these movies.

Dong Ping is a person who has had many interactions with Gu Changwei.

His company's operating conditions, related news, interpersonal network, etc. were all presented to Hao Yun.

"If you call Jiang Wen uncle, then I'll be at a disadvantage because I'm two years older than him." Dong Ping laughed.

"Then I'll call you Uncle Dong, mainly because you look young, and Uncle Jiang has an untidy beard, and looks like someone from the older generation..." Hao Yun didn't mean to deliberately belittle Jiang Wen, but because Uncle Jiang was a family member.

"Leave the work to others. Come on, let's go drink together." Dong Ping patted Hao Yun's shoulder and motioned him to follow.

In addition to Gu Changwei, there are screenwriter Li Qiang, executive director Liu Guonan, and the director's wife Jiang Minli.

Liu Guonan has won many domestic and international awards for micro-films, short films, and advertisements for his works, and has collaborated with Zhang Yimou and Gu Changwei for many years.

Among actors, there is only one Hao Yun, and it is obvious that he is overrated.

"Teacher Jiang Minli!" Hao Yun greeted her hurriedly. They had met before and he couldn't afford to offend such a person. If he whispered in the director's ear, he would be in big trouble.

"Just call me sister, don't be so distant." Jiang Minli had a good impression of Hao Yun.

Moreover, she needed someone she could trust to help her monitor her husband on the set, but it was impossible for her to stay on the set all day long.
