Huayu: Female celebrities are looking for treasures in me

Chapter 86: Leading the team in acting! Is it so difficult to find a woman to have dinner with?
"Okay, okay!"

At this moment, Zhang Li made Zhou Xun and others feel that he deserved a beating, and Li Guofu had the same idea.

But when he came to his senses, he almost couldn't help but pat his thigh and praise loudly.

The fact that they were all affected shows that Zhang Li’s acting at this moment was very good, and the audience will surely feel the same when they see it in the future.

But what they didn't expect was that Zhang Li narrowed his eyes and said again: "Bitches are just pretentious."

Play!

At first glance, the lines sound a bit abrupt.

But those who knew the whole story of this scene secretly said, "Great!"

"Great!" Director Li slapped his thigh.

Director Jin is a harsh word, but he won't actually hit Bai Xiaonian.

This point is not stated explicitly, but is reflected through the design. The entire dining table is very large, and after standing up, he can walk directly to Bai Xiaonian from the right.

But he didn't do that. Instead, he walked around from behind Gu Xiaomeng and the other girl, knowing they would try to stop him. He prepared an escape hatch for himself.

What's more, given Director Jin's size, it's not something that two women can stop together. This is also evidence.

In this case, Zhang Li's line actually exposed Director Jin's weakness.

This also reflects his "confidence" that he is not an old ghost and that he has the commander's confidence behind him.

"Grass!"

"I'm going to beat you to death!"

At this moment, Yingda was out of the play.

He forgot that he had to act strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and instead got a little carried away, and walked towards Zhang Li aggressively, intending to hit him.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing became completely absorbed in the role and tried their best to stop him.

Zhou Xun said, "We are all family, don't be impulsive," and tried very hard to stop them.

The muscle lines are obvious and the face is showing strength, which can be said to be very realistic.

Zhang Li just sat there staring at Ying Da, seemingly not afraid of being beaten at all.

Or maybe he really wanted to be beaten to prove something.

Seeing this, everyone around was waiting for Li Guofu to shout "Cut".

But he didn't do that. Instead, he watched with interest.

"boom!"

It was at this moment that the fifth character, Zhang Hanyu, who had been sitting there in silence, picked up the bottle and threw it on the ground.

This voice instantly brought Yingda back to his senses, and the scene seemed to be paused, with everyone stopping their farce-like actions.

"What's the use of having our own people?" Zhang Hanyu stood up, his eyes sweeping over everyone's faces, and said sarcastically, "Those who spread rumors and cause trouble are all our own people."

These words would make Gu Xiaomeng feel offended, and Zhou Xun, who played this role, immediately showed this state.

Next, several veteran actors performed the scene with ease, or to be more precise, they were all immersed in the role and began to perform.

After several conversations, Zhang Hanyu was provoked and wanted to attack Zhou Xun.

Seeing this, Zhang Li stood up instantly and retreated like a mouse seeing a cat.

But he crossed his arms over his chest and looked very arrogant, as if he was not afraid of being affected.

But in fact, he was very scared because he knew that the character played by Zhang Hanyu would really beat people.

"Card!"

"Pass!"

"Perfect."

The segment ended with the director raising his megaphone and shouting.

When they heard the sound, the expressions of the actors in front of the camera did not change, and they were obviously still immersed in the emotions of their characters.

Suspicion, throwing dirty water, testing each other, forming cliques and guarding against each other, all just to catch that "old ghost".

It can be said that this is a werewolf killing game, which is also very advanced.

"Well done, everyone."

"If I hadn't known today was the first day of filming, I would have thought you'd been getting along for months."

"Every actor is in great shape."

Li Guofu was generous with his praise.

The first opening scene can be performed like this.

The subsequent scenes will definitely be filmed with greater ease.

"Director, I didn't act." Ying laughed and responded, "When Ali started talking, I forgot my identity and got a little carried away."

Under normal circumstances, there would certainly not be such an effect, but at that time he was taking on the emotions of the character of Director Jin.

Being mocked by the Rabbit God, the person he despises the most, first calling him a "coward" and "I don't believe he can get hard" and then "bitches are just pretentious", it is difficult for him to control his emotions, but all of these were interrupted by Zhang Hanyu's character smashing the wine bottle.

It can be said that there was no performance at all.

"A-Li is amazing." Zhou Xun started to tease, "That line about a bitch being pretentious was the perfect finishing touch. I was so scared that Director Jin would beat him to death."

"I was genuinely scared at the time, and I wasn't acting at all when I stopped him." A strange look flashed in Li Bingbing's eyes. "It was my first time filming a movie, and he dared to add more scenes and lines. He's much better than when I was younger."

"Teachers, please stop praising me." Zhang Li put on a smile and waved his hands quickly. "I was very nervous at the time. I just felt like saying this on impulse, so I said it naturally. But after I said it, I felt scared."

"That is, there are no lines for me at the end. Otherwise, I might not be able to say them, and then this scene will be ruined."

Despite the fact that he was very comfortable with the job, he even consciously added to his role just to have more classic shots.

But you definitely can’t say that. You should show humility as a junior and respect for your elders.

As for whether people believe it or not, at least the result is good, so no one will care.

This is indeed the case. Li Guofu applauded, walked in front of the camera, and said encouragingly: "Many times, making a movie is like writing poetry. It requires a moment of inspiration."

"A-Li, you added this line very well. Not only does it establish Bai Xiaonian's character, but it also drives the rhythm and atmosphere of the entire scene. It's worth performing."

"As long as you can maintain this level of performance and acting skills, I believe the role of Bai Xiaonian will be perfect."

As he spoke, Li Guofu looked at Zhou Xun and the others: "You old veterans, you're going to feel the pressure."

Everyone quickly agreed.

After that, Li Guofu directed several more plays.

Bai Xiaonian had roles in two of the scenes, but Zhang Li did not steal the show and just performed in a standard manner.

Even so, all the actors and director Li Guofu were very satisfied and praised the performance highly.

If Zhang Li maintains his current performance, he will be more than capable of playing the role of Bai Xiaonian.

This is definitely a good thing for the entire movie.

"Brother A-li, come here, I toast you."

At the opening banquet, Zhou Xun took the initiative to toast Zhang Li.

"Sister Xun, please forgive me for being such an embarrassment to you, my senior." Zhang Li lowered his cup and clinked it with Zhou Xun's.

After two glasses of wine, Zhou Xun opened up and talked to Zhang Li about his views on the character of Gu Xiaomeng.

Seeing this, Zhang Li also cooperated and talked about his own views.

"Brother, you really have some skills." Zhou Xun's eyes were filled with admiration. He raised his glass again and whispered, "Brother, do you think you can act drunk?"

"It's a bit difficult, I'll give it a try when the time comes." Zhang Li thought for a moment and then smiled: "If it doesn't work, I'll ask Sister Xun for some wine to get back into shape."

"Okay." Zhou Xun seemed to be a little drunk, his eyes were indescribably bright, and he nodded with a smile: "When the time comes, come to see your sister, I will definitely treat you to a drink." Zhang Li always behaved very politely and played the role of a good younger brother.

Whenever someone toasts him, he will accept it and even offer a few glasses.

After the opening banquet, most people were already a little drunk, but Zhang Li's face was calm and his heart was not beating fast, as if he had been drinking water.

This scene made many people secretly marvel in their hearts, thinking that this person was born to be in the world of fame and fortune and had such a good alcohol tolerance.

After having a good meal and a drink, Zhang Li returned to the hotel arranged by the crew and spoke to the Great Tang Poet separately.

Oh, and there’s Jing Tian too. After all, she’s been giving him so much free time, so it’s only right that he says hello.

After finishing all this, he yawned and went to sleep.

The next morning, he came to the crew and asked Li Guofu for leave.

"It's a small matter." Li Guofu smiled warmly, his eyes revealing undisguised admiration. "I've discussed this with several of the main actors. Your scenes will begin filming after work resumes on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. For the next period of time until New Year's Eve, you should concentrate on rehearsing your skit with Zhao Ben-S, and strive to make a splash on the Spring Festival Gala stage."

"Also, once filming starts, your scenes can be filmed intensively and wrapped up within ten days. This won't affect your participation in the filming of 'Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Together.'"

Hearing this, Zhang Li immediately understood that it was Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming and others who were taking care of him.

These big names were willing to adjust their filming plans to suit his schedule, even if they might not have had much work during that time, which was a great help.

"I understand, Director. I will definitely not hold our crew back when the time comes." Zhang Li was deeply moved and made a promise.

A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart; if you judge by heart, there are thousands of people in the world who can do it.

Whether these are good for him because of investment or for some other reason.

If the help is real, then he should acknowledge it and repay it to the best of his ability when he has the chance.

"Go buy something."

After saying goodbye to Li Guofu, he arranged for Xiaoyu to buy some fruit snacks and send them to the crew, and also gave wine and tea to several leading actors.

These things are just small amounts of money to him, but they can greatly increase the staff's favorability towards him.

As for the main actors, he doesn't mind making friends with them as long as they don't break the law or commit treason.

People do not blame!
"Uncle Benshan, this is a specialty of my hometown, West Lake Longjing."

In addition to Zhou Xun and others, Zhang Li also brought some things to Benshan Media's workplace in the capital and gave them to Uncle Benshan.

"Just come, why bring any gifts? You're embarrassing me." Uncle Benshan looked disgusted, but he was not slow at all in receiving the gift.

He was very satisfied with Zhang Li's behavior.

Even if you are talented, you are still a young person and should respect your predecessors.

"It's right to respect your elders."

"But respect is respect, but if someone takes advantage of their seniority, you don't have to pay attention to them."

"You should stay away from people like that!"

Uncle Benshan instructed Zhang Li as if he was teaching a disciple.

At this time, five days had passed since he and Zhao Benshan and others had been working on the sketch "We're Not Short of Money", and there were still five days left until New Year's Eve on January 1.

They were participating in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal and saw some Spring Festival Gala regulars backstage, as well as superstars such as Big Brother Cheng and Milk Tea Lun.

Not everyone is easy to get along with. There are a hundred different personalities among a hundred people, and the same is true for celebrities and entertainers.

"understood."

Being with Uncle Benshan, no one was so blind as to cause trouble for Zhang Li.

In the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Zhao Benshan has almost become a symbol and has a special status.

On the contrary, people like Milk Tea Lun and Big Brother Cheng didn't come to visit, but they would take the initiative to say hello when they saw him.

Zhang Li is not actually that keen on meeting male celebrities, it’s just a normal social interaction.

As for meeting female celebrities, he is also selective to avoid making people think that he is a lustful person.

"Let's go, it's our turn to go on stage."

Zhao Benshan was full of aura and invited Zhang Li, Bi Fujian and Xiao Shen Yang to come on stage.

In the audience were some stars who came to rehearse, as well as balcony leaders and people in charge of the Spring Festival Gala.

When the performance started, many people were whispering and talking about all sorts of things.

Zhang Li was no longer surprised by this.

When the performance was over, the people in charge of reviewing it were very satisfied.

"Uncle Benshan, there is one last rehearsal. Please make the trip then."

"The show 'Not Short of Money' will definitely be selected and will be the finale of the skits."

Someone in charge took the initiative to find Uncle Benshan and reveal the news.

In traditional stage performances such as drama, the finale is the second person to appear.

But just like many words in the dictionary change their names as usage changes, the finale now refers to the last person to appear.

"Okay." Uncle Benshan agreed.

In the blink of an eye, another four days passed.

After a day of rehearsal, Uncle Benshan announced that he would no longer practice in the evening.

Zhang Li looked at the time and felt that it was too late to go home for dinner.

After a little thought, he called Yang Mi, Liu Shishi and others.

As a result, they all stayed at home to eat with their families and it was inconvenient for them to go out.

Liu Shishi said that he could come out in the evening, but he was not in a hurry because he had to perform on the Spring Festival Gala tomorrow.

After contacting the last group of people, he called Li Qin from the "Dream of Red Mansions" crew.

"Qinqin, are you in the crew?" Zhang Li asked.

"Ah? Me?" Li Qin's crisp and clear voice came: "I'm at home. It's Chinese New Year tomorrow. I'll be back to the crew on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year."

"Oh, I was thinking of treating you to dinner tonight." Zhang Li expressed regret.

"Oh, I missed it then." Li Qin showed her big white teeth and smiled sweetly: "Wait until I get back to the crew, and then you can treat me to dinner."

"When my salary for Dream of the Red Chamber comes out, I'll treat you to a meal too."

"Okay, it's a deal." Zhang Li agreed with a smile.

I don’t know why, but when I talk to Li Qin on the phone, my mentality becomes younger.

Probably because she is so energetic.

The two chatted for a while and exchanged a few New Year greetings, and Li Qin was about to hang up the phone.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of something and said, "Brother Li, I remember Liying is still in the crew. If you need someone to accompany you for dinner, you can find her~"

"I don't need anyone to have dinner with me." Zhang Li denied it flatly: "I want to treat you to a meal."

"Yes, yes, it's my honor. I'll remember it." Li Qin hung up the phone with a smile.

Zhang Li smiled and shook his head.

How could he possibly need company?

And call someone about it?

Half an hour later, in a copper meat hotpot restaurant.

Zhao Liying stared at the boiling gravy and swallowed, then gave Zhang Li a silly smile: "Brother Li, you really saved my life."

"I really don't know how to repay you!"

　Thanks again to "Looking for Lover and Waiting for Lover" for the generous reward!
