Huayu: Female celebrities are looking for treasures in me

Chapter 75: Lightning Speed ​​Change! Uncle Benshan is not short of money

"Hello, Uncle Benshan."

"I grew up watching your sketches and I particularly like your work."

Zhang Li sat down on the kang and picked up the wine bottle to pour wine for Uncle Benshan. "I encountered something recently, and the image of you popped into my mind. After thinking about it for a while, I wrote a story centered around you."

"I'd like to ask for your advice."

As he spoke, Zhang Li took out a few pieces of paper from his backpack, on which was written the script "Not Short of Money".

There are four characters: Uncle Benshan, Bi Fujian, the waiter and the grandson.

Xiao Shenyang, Song Xiaobao and others stood aside, watching their noses and their hearts.

"I'd really like to take a good look at the stories written about me."

Uncle Benshan took a sip of wine, picked up the sketch script calmly, and read it word by word.

But he felt nothing inside and didn't think that Zhang Li's skit script could be of such a high standard.

Even though the person who helped Zhang Li contact him said that the former was the screenwriter of "CJ7" and "If You Are the One".

Although comedy films and comedy sketches have many similarities, they are actually two different art fields.

He had already been selected to perform on this year's Spring Festival Gala and had prepared three scripts for the review team, but they were all rejected.

Seeing that there was only half a month left before the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, he was extremely busy and had no time to see Zhang Li.

It was his wife Ma Lijuan who thought he should communicate with young people, and Zhang Li's grades were indeed outstanding, so he agreed.

[Uncle Benshan]: We’re here!

[Goudan]: Here we are!

[Uncle Benshan]: This is the most expensive restaurant in Tieling, it’s called Scottish Flirting (tiáo qíng).

[Goudan]: Grandpa, you pronounced it wrong, that’s Scottish sentiment (qíng diào).

Uncle Benshan: What? Oh, the atmosphere? Just eat it here.

[Uncle Benshan]: Is that enough? That’s it, waiter~
"Ok?"

It seems that Uncle Benshan's expression changed slightly in the previous short paragraph.

The conversation between me and this grandson Goudan is quite interesting.

When the waiter came out, his expression became serious.

When he saw "Not Short of Money" appear, he sat up straight.

Naturally, his transformation attracted the attention of several disciples including Xiao Shenyang and Song Xiaobao.

Several people exchanged glances implicitly, and their expressions became serious.

And when Bi Fujian appears, the sentence ends with "My grandfather's surname is also Bi."

Uncle Benshan couldn't help but sigh that there are talented people in every generation, and this kid is actually a genius.

"it is good!"

Uncle Benshan put down the script.

He looked at Zhang Li with a smile on his face: "I want this notebook, how much do you want for it?"

"Don't worry, I'm not short of money~"

Xiao Shenyang and others: "."

Is it so "careless"?

This Zhang Li is quite awesome.

"Uncle Benshan, why would I come here in person to sell you this book?" Zhang Li poured himself a glass of wine. "I'll just give it to you. If you like it, use it. I treat you as my elder. Just give me a red envelope as a token of my appreciation. I'm not short of money either."

"So, you want to act?" Uncle Benshan's expression became serious and his temperament changed slightly.

"Yes." Zhang Li nodded.

That’s the Spring Festival Gala stage.

Although from some future memories, it seems like things will go downhill after this year.

But it also cannot change the fact that except for certain people, only the most popular stars of the year and some big names can perform on stage in the entertainment industry.

Others, after becoming famous, try to make an appearance on the Spring Festival Gala stage and gain national recognition.

If he had the opportunity to go up and show his face first, it would be more beneficial for his popularity.

Xiao Shen Yang became an overnight sensation.

"Do you want to play a waiter?" Uncle Benshan asked.

He saw clearly that if he played the waiter well, it would be the easiest role to stand out among the four.

"No, I want to play Goudan," Zhang Li gave an answer that surprised Benshan. The role of a waiter was too funny and entertaining. Debuting in such a role would only solidify the audience's impression of him, and he might not be able to perform at the level of Xiao Shenyang.

Moreover, although "Not Short of Money" is a good script, Uncle Benshan does not have to act in it. His main job now is to guide his disciples.

If he is "too greedy", Uncle Benshan may not give him the opportunity to make money.

But if it is "Goudan" who is relatively inferior, performs decently and can show off his singing skills, then there is a chance.

This is indeed the case. After a brief thought, Uncle Benshan sighed, "Zhang Li, right? If I hadn't known about your achievements in the film industry, I would have wanted to take you in as my last disciple."

Xiao Shenyang and others: "."

"Thank you, Uncle Benshan, for your appreciation." Zhang Li said with a smile, "I don't want to be a skit actor. I just want to be on the Spring Festival Gala and get a chance to become an overnight sensation."

Xiao Shen Yang and others:!

These two people are more awesome than each other.

"What do you mean? Win-win cooperation!" Uncle Benshan nodded: "You want this opportunity, I want this script, we can cooperate."

"But I have a premise."

"You say." Zhang Li smiled.

"Fix it!" Uncle Benshan said, "I need to know if you can play this role."

"Of course." Zhang Li showed no signs of stage fright. His tone changed. "Shall we do it now?"

Uncle Benshan looked surprised and said, "You speak Northeastern dialect quite well."

"My mom is from Harbin~" Zhang Li said with a smile.

Liu Xiaoli is a native of Harbin, Heilongjiang Province.

Her biological mother also lived in Northeast China for a period of time.

He speaks Northeastern dialect fluently~
"Okay, let's fix it." Uncle Benshan looked at his disciples and nodded at Xiao Shenyang: "Come here and take a look at this script."

Xiao Shen Yang immediately stepped forward, took the script with both hands and began to read it carefully.

After he finished reading, Uncle Benshan stood up and asked Zhang Li to go next door.

"Give it a try~"

More than half an hour later.

Uncle Benshan nodded in agreement.

"Okay, the three of us have decided on our roles. I'll hand in the script tomorrow and then go talk to Teacher Bi."

Zhang Li was not surprised by this.

As for the copyright and authorship issues of the book, he didn't need to say anything specifically.

With Uncle Benshan's status in the world, he now looks down on these things.

"Have dinner with me. Two drinks tonight?" Uncle Benshan asked Zhang Li.

"Of course I brought a few bottles of good wine." Zhang Li agreed readily.

Naturally, he doesn't mind having a better relationship with Uncle Benshan.

"Give the notebook to Xiaobao and the others to read, and tell them there's still much to learn." Uncle Benshan waved his hand at Xiao Shenyang and said, "And ask your wife to prepare a few more dishes."

Xiao Shen Yang took the script and left obediently, with anticipation hidden in his eyes.

If this script passes the review, he will be taken by his master to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

If he plays the role of the waiter well, he might become famous!

That night, Zhang Li had a meal at Uncle Benshan's house and accepted all the drinks.

Now he has an amazing physique and drinking is like a piece of cake for him.

And his huge capacity for learning made Uncle Benshan very impressed.

In the words of people from Northeast China: open and bright!
"Ok?"

Zhang Li checked into the hotel arranged by Uncle Benshan and was about to go to bed when he felt his phone vibrate.

The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number, which made him a little confused, so he answered it immediately.

"Hello, are you Zhang Li?" The person opposite was a girl, and her tone was very polite.

"It's me, hello." Zhang Li pondered the other party's identity.

The person opposite spoke again: "This is the crew of "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together". We would like to invite you to play the second male lead."

Zhang Li:?
My goodness, how could this super shocking but phenomenally popular drama happen to him?

He has no interest in playing a supporting role to another Zhang.
