Chapter 9 Wu Li, the idle martial artist at home
There were no surprises.
When the audience listened to Zhao Qian and Hu Xilin, they didn’t remember what they sang.
There is no chance of winning.
But the impact of "Psychopathic Song" is really too strong.
Among the 800 audience members at the scene, 373 voted for "Psychopathic Song" and 385 abstained from voting!
After bidding farewell to Han Zhou and An Lan, the stage returned to normal.
When An Lan and Han Zhou were taking a break, the executive director came over.
"Han Zhou, will you write your own songs next time?"
Han Zhou: “Yes.”
Executive Director: "Then please tell us the style of the song in advance so that we can arrange the choreography."
Han Zhou was overjoyed: "A beautiful dancer?"
An Lan grabbed Han Zhou's neck and shook him: "Wake up, wake up!"
"Chocolate means stage setting!!"
"Ahem~" Han Zhou: "Forget it, you guys can do whatever you want."
The executive director was quite resentful and it was too difficult to communicate with Han Zhou.
Executive Director: "By the way, the show is about to be broadcast, you'd better create your own Weibo account and submit it to me so that I can certify you."
Han Zhou was surprised: "The show is about to start airing?!"
"Which station?"
Executive director:"???"
An Lan looked at Han Zhou: "Yanjingtai!"
"What kind of station would be so careless in making a program? Don't you have any sense?"
Executive director:"???"
An Lan was not criticizing the program or belittling Yanjing TV.
In fact, Yanjing TV is really casual in making programs.
Logically, variety shows on normal TV stations, especially talent shows, should either reflect competitiveness or the difficulties of grassroots.
No, Yanjingtai!
Yanjing TV is all about the fancy stuff.
Look at the rules of "Tomorrow's Superstar", they reveal their evil nature.
In the initial stage, the singers sing solo, then compete in groups, and then in the second half, they start solo competition again, and then elimination rounds are held until the finals.
What is the significance of this schedule?
It’s actually very simple. First, you show the contestants’ characteristics to the instructors. Then the instructors can coach the contestants to improve, and finally the contestants compete with each other.
The idea is good, but the competition system is complicated and will affect the ratings.
Also , in this process, the tutor’s role is actually not that big, he is just a tool.
The purpose is to showcase the talent show singers to the audience.
For a program like this, if it wasn't in Yanjing, it would be impossible to invite two superstars, a top-tier star and a popular Korean idol.
Seeing that the two of them were uncooperative and both seemed to be ill, I felt that I was not casual enough and could not get involved.
The executive director left honestly.
An Lan sat next to Han Zhou: "So, we are going back to Xiao County and start filming soon?"
Han Zhou shook his head: "No, I'm going to invite an actor and then go together."
Under the round-robin system, there is a full three-week gap, and "Hello Mr. Tree" will definitely start filming after we return.
But before going on stage, Han Zhou received a call from Chen Dayong.
The actor who played Erzhu broke his ...
The so-called empty shot is a shot with no people but only scenery.
This kind of lens is used a lot in movies.
So when director Han Zhou is not around, Chen Dayong will shoot a lot of empty shots.
The actors in the crew had nothing to do in the remote towns and villages of Xiao County where there were no entertainment activities, so they just followed along, calling it lending a hand.
Then I got myself involved.
After Wang Xiya learned the news, she searched for a long time and found a suitable actor, and told Han Zhou to invite him.
"Who is it?" An Lan asked.
Shouldn't most people in the industry know the situation of my crew?
Who can be invited?
It would be better to go around the outside of the film studio and find an extra with the right appearance.
Han Zhou: "Wu Li."
An Lan searched her mind for a while and found a matching face: "Isn't that a martial arts star?"
Han Zhou laughed: "The character of Erzhu also has fighting scenes!"
This is of course a joke, but there aren't many actors now who have a handsome appearance and can act arrogant, silly, and domineering.
Most of these people are currently filming scenes.
The rest, after hearing about this crew, were unwilling to come.
After eliminating these, among the people left to choose from, Wu Li is a good choice.
Because Wu Li hasn't had many film offers recently. He used to be just a second-rate action star, but now martial arts films are in decline, and he is a little older and can't play the leading role in TV dramas anymore.
So I stay at home and do nothing.
"The fact that he wants to talk to me shows that he really doesn't have any film contracts." An Lan: "You can get him."
Han Zhou shrugged: "Wait a day before going to the crew."
…
Eunuch Alley.
Han Zhou didn't know whether there was such an alley in his previous life.
But Wu Li’s address is definitely in this alley.
After knocking on the door, it opened.
A man with an unshaven beard and an almost bald head opened the door.
After opening the door, he glanced at Han Zhou and An Lan who followed Han Zhou, then turned back to the yard and said, "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. Please find a place to sit."
Entering the yard, there is a persimmon tree in the yard.
Han Zhou nodded and said, "Tsk tsk!"
"There is a persimmon tree planted in the courtyard, and a wooden frame in the frame. Isn't this sleepy?"
"No wonder... the feng shui is bad."
An Lan kicked Han Zhou's calf and said, "Planting persimmon trees in a courtyard means having many children and good fortune."
Wu Li, who was sorting out fishing gear on the ground, smiled and said, "I was sleepy anyway, there's nothing wrong with that."
Han Zhou: "Go fishing?"
Wu Li nodded.
Han Zhou: "Then let's not talk here, let's talk while fishing."
Wu Li stood up, looked at the sky in the yard, and then looked at the sun: "Okay."
Wu Li was driving a hardcore off-road vehicle with Han Zhou and An Lan sitting in the back seat.
Such a precious position as the co-pilot is of course reserved for fishing gear.
The car shuttled through the extremely congested streets of Yanjing, getting farther and farther away from the city.
Finally we came to a small ditch.
Wu Li held an axe similar to a fire axe and prepared to chisel the ice.
After getting off the car, Han Zhou picked up a stone and threw it into the ditch.
The rivers in Yanjing do freeze in winter, but the ice is not thick.
In this kind of small ditch, the water underneath is flowing and thinner.
With the fall of a stone, the three-meter-wide ice surface shattered.
Wu Li put the axe back and started to put up bait.
An Lan was wearing round clothes at this time, looking into the distance.
Han Zhou took out a fire and a cigarette and lit one.
Wu Li: “Ahem.”
Wu Li was reminding Han Zhou not to smoke around him .
Han Zhou fished out a cigarette box, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Wu Li along with a lighter: "The cigarettes are not expensive, just smoke them."
"There are a lot of smoking scenes in this play. Let me see how you smoke."
Wu Li was stunned for a moment, then he lit a cigarette in a very cool and pretentious manner and took a puff with a hint of melancholy.
How many male actors have not learned the smoking action?
Although Wu Li doesn't smoke, he still knows how to do it.
Although Wu Li didn't really want to join the crew, he still did what Han Zhou said.
This is not a demanding requirement. If you don't show this and still ask others to come and talk to you, then you are being outrageous.
Han Zhou nodded and shook his head: "No, too handsome, not tough enough."
When Wu Li heard Han Zhou say that it was not cruel enough, he simply put out the cigarette with his index finger and thumb, lowered his head, and looked at Han Zhou with a squinting look, revealing a cruel expression.
Han Zhou glanced at Wu Li and said, "Although this cigarette is not expensive, it still cost money. Don't even think about me giving you another one."
Wu Li looked confused.
An Lan dragged a small stool behind and sat down: "What he meant was not tough enough, tough in the sense of having a tough face, not cruel."
"He can't tell the difference between front and back nasal sounds."
Wu Li took a deep breath, then lit up the cigarette he had extinguished. The subtle muscle movements on his face as he lit the cigarette made his face look more fleshy. If it was a close-up shot, combined with the large pores, it would definitely give people the feeling that this person is very domineering.
Han Zhou took out a small fishing rod and said, "Okay, you can act in a literary drama with your acting skills, why should you act in a martial arts film? Come to our crew, you got the role."
Wu Li was stunned for a moment: I thought you were here to persuade me to join the group. Are you here to see if I have the acting skills and am qualified to join the group?
Han Zhou: "I know what you are thinking."
"It's a lot of money."
"A literary drama, a role that is somewhere between a nouveau riche and a gangster."
"Come on, give me some nice words."
"Man, be quick."
Wu Li was silent.
I didn't have any acting offers in the first place, and now this director looks pretty good.
Although I heard that this crew is unreliable, it is not as unreliable as I imagined.
"Show me the script."
Han Zhou: "Something unexpected happened and I didn't bring the script with me. I only have a printed version of the script, not a scanned version, so I can't send it to you."
"It's a rural drama. You know the environment. Scanners are high-tech equipment in the county. Only schools have them. They are too far from the town."
Wu Li laughed. This was just too perfunctory.
"What about sincerity?"
Han Zhou: "Sincerity?"
"Well, if you play this role, I will kneel down for you in the play."
Wu Li raised his eyebrows: "Okay, I'll act."
Sitting next to Han Zhou, An Lan said in a voice that only Han Zhou could hear: "When he reads the script and finds out that he has to kneel down for you, with his fighting power, no one can stop you from getting beaten."
Han Zhou slapped his thigh and said, "How could you be like this, woman! Wu Li and I hit it off right away, and I recognized this guy right away. This role is for Wu. There's no need to choose the next few actors. Tell them that the casting is over!"
An Lan: 6
At five o'clock in the afternoon, a rugged off-road vehicle returned to the city with two airmen and An Lan, who was given a novice gift pack.
Wu Li personally drove Han Zhou and An Lan to the train station.
Just as Han Zhou and An Lan were on the train, looking at the 20-centimeter-thick ice and snow at the connection between the carriages in wonder, the first episode of "Tomorrow's Superstar" was successfully broadcast on Yanjing TV.
