I'm almost a Muggle

[Currently, the first order is 2,600, please help me, I hope I can get 3,000 tonight]

"Are there any other works?" Wu Tie became interested in Lin Dong.

"There is a movie called "For Gold" currently being released. It is also about the Anti-Japanese War, but I play a gangster." Lin Dong really didn't pay much attention to the movie he starred in.

It's not that "I'll Do It for Gold" didn't have any publicity.

But he was not the focus of the publicity. Lin Dong went to Jinling to film a movie, but nothing was said there.

Everything that needs to be done has been done.

It has been in theaters for three weeks and has a box office of 140 million.

For a movie with an investment of 50 million, at least it is impossible to lose money.

Online reviews have been mixed.

Some people think that this drama opens with "The Japs Are Coming" and the villain from "Inglourious Basterds" breaks in midway. The good ideas are mostly concentrated in the first half, and the second half starts to get bloody when the ammunition runs out.

The current score of Douya is 6.7, which is not very high, but it will not be classified as a bad drama.

Overall, this project was not very successful.

Ning Hai failed to maintain the impressive reputation and box office guarantee of his crazy series.

The character of Lin Dong has a relatively long span, and many parts have abrupt turns. Some people criticized him for being a character, saying that he was a bad character.

But there are not many voices questioning his acting skills.

In particular, the scene where he and his father Guo Chi competed against each other in the play has been mentioned many times by various film critics.

To quote the original words of the Penguin News review article, that is

From the white-eyed wolf in "Arrow Stabs the Heart" to the gangster in "For Gold", this young actor born in Nortel "has handed in an excellent answer sheet."

What needs to be explained here is that Lin Dong did not spend money to buy this kind of popularity.

"I've heard about it, but I haven't seen it yet. If I do, I probably won't recognize you. I've been on the set for the past few months, and I don't even have an assistant around me. I'm so tired every day that I just want to fall asleep. I don't even mention it.

I can’t find the energy to go to the cinema.”

Wu Tie realized that he had underestimated Lin Dong.

It's different from a second-tier actor like me who is no one cares about.

Lin Dong plays the leading role here.

Wu Tie also played a leading role, but that happened many years ago.

Now his career is tepid, and he spends most of his time playing supporting roles in the television industry.

"I have a deep understanding. The most tired I was, I actually didn't want to eat." Lin Dong laughed.

I don’t think my metaphor is ridiculous at all.

Is it such a big deal to be too tired to want to eat?

"What drama will you act in next, a movie or a TV series?" Wu Tie asked.

Said he wanted to ask him for advice.

For others, it might be hypocritical politeness, but Wu Tie felt that this guy Lin Dong might be sincere.

"Northern Peace, a play by teacher Liu Heyang."

"Oh, I've heard of it. I've admired the name for a long time. I've read his book. It's a bit serious."

"Is there a big difference between the drama and the novel?"

"Of course it's big, there are differences in every aspect, but as actors we just have to grasp the roles well."

“The teacher may have talked about it during class, but many of them have been forgotten.”

"Which school are you from?"

"Nortel, level 09."

"Class 2009 should graduate this year."

"Yes, we just need to issue the graduation certificate."

"Which company did you sign with?"

"Crest Culture Media."

"Oh, congratulations to you. I've heard of this company. It was even a hot search during the film festival not long ago."

Wu Tie and Lin Dong chatted while eating.

Wu Tie is fifty, but he still has a good appetite.

I just rarely drink.

The food in this hotel is unexpectedly good. Unfortunately, the people who come here are not interested in drinking, and no one comes here to eat.

"Old man, you are here, and you don't reply to me when I send you a text message."

After a while, another old man named Liu Benqi came.

He is also in his fifties.

"Oh, Third Master, you are here. Sorry, sorry, I was too involved in chatting. Let me introduce to you. This is Lin Dong, a young actor and my old friend."

He calls Liu Benqi the third master here because Liu Benqi played the beloved and hated third master Bai Yingyu in "The Big Courtyard".

"Teacher Lin Dong..."

Liu Benqi didn't know what to call him for a while.

"Don't you dare, just call me Dongzi. Our school teachers admire your performance very much, Mr. Liu, and they always praise you during class."

What is very amazing is that Lin Dong actually knows him.

When I was taking a class at school, there was a section on light and shadow theory, and the movie I chose was "The Day I Left Zhengxing."

The starring role in it is Uncle Li Benqi.

In class, the professor also said a very interesting thing.

It is said that Liu Benqi worked as a bit player for six years when he was young, until he met director Zhang Lue and starred in Zhang Lue's "The Lawsuit" with Gong Huang, playing the role of Gong Huang's husband.

At that time, Zhang Lue planned to reduce the husband's role and leave only one scene for Liu Benqi.

However, after in-depth discussions and communication with Liu Benqi, Zhang Lue changed his mind and expanded his role to seven scenes.

How did Liu Benqi convince Zhang Lue?

In fact, he just talked about his views on Zhang Lue's other play "Moan".

Liu Benqi thought that the scene in the film was too simple when the nephew peeked at his aunt taking a shower through a crack in the wood.

If he were playing the role of a nephew, he would first grab a handful of grass and plug the cracks in the wood, because he knew that it was immoral for him to do so.

But I couldn't bear the torment in my heart and still wanted to see it, so I picked out all the grass one by one.

It was this kind of repeated speculation on the role and the pursuit of excellence in performance that moved Zhang Lue.

Zhang Lue gave him an unprecedented extra drama.

Zhang Lue is the most unkind director in the industry. No matter whether you bring money into the group or you have a personal relationship, he will never recognize your relatives.

And Liu Benqi was able to let Zhang Lue add more scenes, which shows his acting skills.

"Okay, I'll call you Dongzi, why are you still eating here?"

He and Wu Tie have not collaborated in TV series or movies.

But they are both drama actors, and they are about the same age, so they are very familiar with each other.

"Why don't you eat? We can't get in the conversation. I acted in one of their plays. Is it possible that you, Third Master, also collaborated with them?" Wu Tie asked Liu Benqi.

"I came here uninvited and looking for money." Liu Benqi took the glass of wine brought by the waiter, thanked him, put the small bag he was carrying on the chair, and sat down next to him.

"Looking for money? Are you becoming a producer, or do you want to be a director yourself?"

"I am the director myself and no one is the producer for me. I have to look for money everywhere." Liu Benqi took a sip of wine, then took out the script from his bag and showed it to Wu Tie.

"What are you doing? I have no money." Wu Tie didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Help me see if it's possible. If I can't find the money again, I'll go directly to the TV station."

"Then it's better to find a TV station. They can give you something." Wu Tie started to frown after watching it for a few times. The plot of this drama "Keeping Happiness" is very clear. It is a drama about a family and a family.

In recent years, this type of drama has become increasingly unmarketable.

In the market, there are either tall, rich and handsome people or white and beautiful people. There are all kinds of tall and handsome people.

"Teacher Liu, let's try it with the boss of our company. Our company has been lacking in projects recently." Lin Dong took the initiative to speak.

Qian Na once asked his opinion, since the company has strong financial resources, should it sign more popular artists?

Lin Dong's answer at the time was that instead of signing those so-called popular artists that everyone is competing for.

It's better to sign more veteran actors with excellent acting skills.

Even if they are not filming.

I'd be happy raising it for free.
