Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors
Chapter 56: Appearance in "Beijing Love Story"
Huang Yu handed over a notebook and said, "Aze, here's a movie script for you to take a look at!"
"Beijing Love Story?"
Zhang Ze was somewhat surprised; judging from the script's title, it wasn't a war drama.
Having grown accustomed to war dramas, he was somewhat unaccustomed to suddenly being cast in an urban drama.
Huang Yu smiled and said, "Yes, this is a TV series that depicts the love lives of young people who have migrated to Beijing for work."
The director and producer is Chen Shicheng; this is his directorial debut.
Zhang Ze asked in confusion, "I know Chen Shicheng. Although he's also an actor from 'Soldiers Sortie,' and was previously an artist in our company, didn't they say he didn't renew his contract? How do you still have the ability to get roles from him?"
Huang Yu replied with a smile that although she did not renew her contract with the company, they did not break off relations. After all, they were former colleagues and friends.
Besides, he came to us eagerly. He has a good relationship with Zhang Yi and Li Chen and plans to invite them to be the lead actors.
Zhang Yi and Li Chen made significant concessions on their salary out of brotherhood, so I got him a supporting role, intending to put you in it!
Zhang Ze was overjoyed to hear this. This agent was excellent; he hadn't made a mistake in choosing someone to work for!
"Thanks, Sister Yu." His tone was very sincere.
Huang Yu-yen: "You are an artist under my management. It is my job to arrange appearances for you. You don't need to be polite."
This time, the role is a rich second-generation villain. I wonder if you'd be interested!
Just don't blame me.
Zhang Ze shook his head and said, "As an actor, you have to have the courage to take on any role. Let alone a rich second-generation, I've played thugs and murderers when I was an extra."
Upon hearing this, Huang Yu smiled, her eyes narrowing.
He said, "Then you should take a look at the script and think about it carefully."
Although we've offered you the role, you still need to audition and go through the motions.
Huang Yu spoke very gently. She was seven or eight years older than Zhang Ze. She had shoulder-length hair and was not tall, about 1.6 meters, which was more than half a head shorter than him.
Zhang Ze probably was influenced by the nanny-style agent concept of Wang Jinghua, the top female agent in the Chinese entertainment industry!
Huang Yu gives people the feeling of being the eldest sister in the family; sometimes she is caring, gentle, and considerate, and sometimes she is very dignified.
After a few days of interaction, I feel it's pretty good.
After Huang Yu left, Zhang Ze opened the script and glanced at it.
He didn't have many scenes; he was a major supporting character.
The character she had the most screen time with was a gold digger, and she was considered one of the three female leads.
Their words and actions are nothing more than those of rich second-generation kids: driving sports cars, indulging in debauchery, and spending money to chase women.
Zhang Ze is confident in his acting skills, but he lacks confidence in his vision.
Coming from humble beginnings, he had never been to a bar or dated women. His knowledge of the behavior and mannerisms of rich kids came from movies and TV shows, which made him a bit dramatic.
Unexpectedly, this is the reason that is now limiting my development.
Zhang Ze left the company and went to the Sanlitun bar street that night.
Sanlitun is indeed a famous nightclub district in Beijing. As soon as Zhang Ze got off the subway and walked around the area, he could clearly feel that there were more pretty girls on the street.
As you walk further in, you'll see a dazzling array of beautiful women: bodycon skirts, pencil skirts, and mini skirts; long legs, white stockings, flesh-colored stockings, black stockings, and fishnet stockings.
The beauties come in all shapes and sizes, from those dressed provocatively to those exuding innocence and sexiness.
Further along the road, all sorts of luxury sports cars are parked on the side of the street.
Zhang Ze couldn't distinguish the names of many of them; he only knew Porsche and Ferrari, two well-known brands.
Bright lights and debauchery, extravagance and debauchery...
Zhang Ze was at a loss for words.
He found a relatively large bar and planned to go in.
"Hello sir, please show me your table reservation information." Two burly men in black suits stopped him at the door.
"I didn't book a table; I'm just here to check out the place for the first time!" Zhang Ze replied.
"I'm sorry, sir, but without a reservation in advance, you'll have to buy a ticket to enter."
Helpless, Zhang Ze had no choice but to buy a ticket at the entrance for over 160 yuan.
Based on his observation, the girls who went in did not buy tickets.
Most of the men who arrived in sports cars seemed to be familiar with the security guard, indicating they were frequent customers of the store.
Stepping inside, the bar is quite spacious, with flashing lights creating a lively atmosphere. The ambiguous purple ambiance, combined with the red wine in the glasses, stimulates the senses.
The lights were dim, and the energetic music stimulated the auditory nerves of both men and women, immersing them in this noisy yet unique atmosphere.
It was indeed a place where young people could relax and seek excitement, but Zhang Ze just felt out of place here.
He felt the sound system was too loud; he thought it would be better if the volume were lowered and some soothing music were played.
He knew there were quiet bars, but those were for artsy types. His purpose today was to learn how to be a rich second-generation.
Zhang Ze sat at the bar and ordered a beer. He then turned to watch what the young people in the booths were doing.
Three young men were his special focus; he had chosen them before they came in because their sports cars were the most eye-catching.
These three were definitely seasoned bar regulars; each of them had a beautiful woman sitting next to him.
She is a beautiful woman with a great figure, comparable to some actresses in the industry.
Zhang Ze kept a close eye on everything around him, observing the behavior of the men and women in the booths of the bar.
Then I took a closer look at the so-called playboys sitting at the bar, all dressed up and spending the whole night harassing women.
On the first day, Zhang Ze put what he learned into practice, trying to strike up a conversation with beautiful women.
The girl with sharp eyes directly mocked him to his face.
If you're poor, don't come out here pretending to be a rich kid to scam girls.
The next day, Zhang Ze approached four girls. One of them expressed doubt about Zhang Ze's status as a rich second-generation, while two girls said they were happy to be friends with him and added each other on WeChat. One of the girls chatted happily and said she was willing to go to a hotel with him.
But in the end, the trip was ruined because he didn't drive a sports car!
On the third day, Zhang Ze spent money to rent a Porsche from a car rental company. The deposit was 20,000 yuan and the daily rate was 2,000 yuan, which made him feel very distressed.
That night, he struck up a conversation with four girls and they had a great time chatting. Three of the girls said they were willing to go to a hotel with him.
However, when they arrived at the hotel, Zhang Zedu chased the girls away, claiming he didn't have his ID card.
One of them was very attractive and indicated that she could be in the car.
Zhang Ze pretended that the sports car was too small and he couldn't move around freely, so he refused.
The main reason was that he disliked them and was afraid they would get sick.
He's determined to marry a female celebrity; these women don't even meet his standards.
On the fourth day, Huang Yu asked Zhang Ze how his reading of the script was going.
Zhang Ze said he had watched them all and was ready to audition!
When Zhang Ze arrived at the hotel room that Chen Shicheng had rented, he found that Zhang Yi and Li Chen were also there.
Chen Sicheng had Zhang Ze perform a scene in a bar, and was very satisfied with Zhang Ze's acting skills, so he decided to cast him.
Zhang Ze plays the role of Andy, a rich second-generation in the drama. His salary is 4 yuan per episode, which is similar to that of Zhang Yi and Li Chen. However, they only received a one-third of the market price as a friendly price.
Having an agent is great; Zhang Ze doesn't have to worry about negotiating roles or signing contracts.
He walked aside and chatted with Zhang Yi while Huang Yu finished signing the contract.
Zhang Ze has a total of 11 episodes of screen time, with a total contract price of 440,000 yuan. Even if the company takes 60% of the contract, he can still get more than 170,000 yuan.
The filming of eleven episodes can be completed in about a month.
This income is several times higher than what he earned as a part-time actor on film sets.
I felt instantly delighted!
