reverse roundup

The sun was rising, but the room was still dark. The heavy curtains blocked the room from light. The person on the bed was still sleeping soundly, and the cell phone rang happily.

The bell rang persistently twice before a long, white hand slowly stretched out from between the quilts, groped twice to find the source of the sound, held it in his hand, then retracted the quilt in fear of the cold, and let out a heavy nasal sound.

"Mr. Shen, was it you who called me last night?" The voice on the phone sounded fearful, "I'm really sorry, I forgot to charge it last night, and the phone probably turned off automatically after ringing twice. What's important? ?"

Shen Qingye closed his eyes, trying to sort out some clues from yesterday's chaotic brain, he seemed to have called Sun Xuxu, but she didn't come?Who opened the door?

My memory is confused, and my brain throbs and hurts when I try to think about it.

Shen Qingye pressed his eyes with his palms, his throat was dry and his tongue was bitter, his stomach was burning strongly, and he didn't know what those dogs gave him to drink.

"Mr. Shen?" Sun Xuxu asked again, "Are you still listening?"

"Yeah." The response was squeezed out between the teeth with difficulty, "I wanted to ask you something, but now I'm fine." The voice was so hoarse that I couldn't hear it at all, as if it was smoky.

Sun Xuxu was a little worried, "Mr. Shen, are you sick? Do you want me to come and take a look?"

"No, I have something else to do, let's do this first." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Sun Xuxu's response.

Shen Qingye wearily dropped his mobile phone between the mattresses, and threw himself back on the bed.

I slept until the afternoon before waking up a little. I took a glass of drinking water, and the cold water flowed into the dry throat, so I felt more comfortable.

He stretched his limbs and felt that the shirt and trousers didn't fit very well. He took it off and looked at it, his eyes darkened.

He called Sun Xuxu, "Who brought me back yesterday?"

Sun Xuxu was dumb for a moment, "Mr. Shen, what happened?"

"Not you?"

She was a little anxious, "I'm really sorry, my dad had a car accident yesterday. I had no other choice, so I asked the people around me to send you off. You were there when I said this, and you didn't object at that time. I thought It doesn't matter."

Shen Qingye had an ominous premonition, and pressed his forehead with a headache, "So who is it?"

"It's the one you held back the wine for him. It seems to be called Wu Ting. He said he wants to leave too, so he can give him a ride."

Shen Qingye closed his eyes, his Adam's apple rolled, and his memory was chaotic, "You help me buy a gift and send it over."

Sun Xuxu was taken aback, "What kind of gift?"

Shen Qingye paused, "The more expensive ones are at the same level as the producers."

Sun Xuxu repeatedly agreed, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

She then said, "Then I'll come pick you up in two hours? Later in the evening, the producer of "Red Owl" would like to invite you over, saying that a new actor has been appointed, please go over and have a look."

Shen Qingye frowned, "Which character has been changed?"

"You Ling."

"The filming is about to start, can the actor who plays the male lead be changed?"

Sun Xuxu said in a low voice, "It seems to be sent down from above. The investors have nothing to do with the producers."

Shen Qingye pinched the bridge of his nose, he was very familiar with the capital game in this circle, but being told so bluntly about the twists and turns would still make him feel that acting is very contemptible.

"What's the use of letting me go and see? I'm not satisfied and I can't change."

Sun Xuxu was a bit difficult to deal with, "Actually, it's not sure who will play in the end. The director has not yet passed the stage. You and his opponents have a lot of scenes, so I want you to watch it, give some advice from a professional point of view, and suggest some newcomers. .”

Shen Qingye understood right away, "So they want me to be a lobbyist and persuade Director Jiang to use him?"

"That... I didn't say that. It's just that you and his scenes are relatively connected. If you agree, the running-in effect will be good, and Director Jiang's side should be fine."

Shen Qingye snorted coldly, "What's the name of that actor? The producer has already taken care of it, but the director can't get past that. How bad is it? Can't you help him?"

Sun Xuxu said, "I don't know the name, but I heard that he is a newcomer who has never made a film before and came from across the border."

Shen Qingye's voice paused, and he said sneeringly, "This is not to praise him, but to kill him, right? Chi Xiao's kind of play, even a random newcomer who crosses the border can handle it?"

Sun Xuxu smiled dryly. She also found it incredible when she heard the news for the first time. Producer Liu's face was full of hopelessness, as if she could already see the tragic situation after the film was released.

"Mr. Shen, are you going that night?"

"I won't go, let them toss about it by themselves, whether they use it or not, I don't want to participate in this kind of thing."

The drama contract has already been signed, and he can't break the contract just because the crew uses an actor he is not satisfied with.This drama is invested by Huanyu Media, so it is Du Xia's intention to use whoever it is. He will not fall out with Du Xia because of an actor, but he doesn't want to join forces with the capital to put pressure on Director Jiang.It's better to get out and clean up.The purpose of filming this movie is to repay favors, and the only thing I can do is to play my own role well.As for who the film crew wants to use his name to praise, that's another matter.

Sun Xuxu sighed helplessly, "Okay, then I'll tell Producer Liu that you just came back from the set and you're not feeling well, so you can't come."

"Ah."

"I will join the group in three days. There will be a magazine interview tomorrow, and the announcement of "Red Dust Tribulation" the day after tomorrow. Teacher, please rest well today and don't stay up late. I will pick you up at eight o'clock tomorrow."

"Okay." Shen Qingye added, "If there is anything else to do today, it's not particularly important, just push it away if you can, and don't come to me anymore."

Sun Xuxu agreed, but couldn't help being curious, "Teacher, do you have any plans for tonight?"

Shen Qingye closed his eyes, thinking about the chaotic memories of last night, "No. I'll email you a few names later, and these people will be blacklisted, so don't cooperate any more."

That night, the meeting between Xi Wen and Producer Liu went smoothly. He didn't say much. It was Du Xia and Producer Liu who had been negotiating. Du Xia came forward, and Bai Xiaoyi was also an observer.

After drinking some wine, Producer Liu patted his chest to assure that Director Wei was fine. Xi Wen was very suitable for the role of You Ling. Looking at his facial features and temperament, he was born for this role.Although he has no experience, who hasn't come here like this?As long as you give it a chance, the future is boundless.

It's okay to listen to such words, Xi Wen won't take it seriously, and he is not a rookie in the entertainment circle, so how could he not be able to tell what is a scene and what is a sincere boast.

In the evening, Producer Liu sent him the script, asking him to familiarize himself with it first. He said that the filming would start in three days. He was very enthusiastic in his words, and he still praised him very highly. He was spying on him and Du Xia inside and out. Let him speak more nice words in front of Du Xia.

He opened it and looked at it. It was a gangster movie, with a taste of infernal affairs.Director Wei is a Hong Kong director, and this is not the first time he has come to mainland China to film. The script is written by him. The characters and plot settings are quite complicated, which is obviously not something a newcomer can handle.

Xi Wen looked a little startled. He originally thought that the first film Du Xia arranged for him would be a simpler story. He wondered if he should make a campus romance film or something first, to find out the feeling and familiarize himself with the process. , it turned out to be such a heavyweight movie.

It took him a long time to read the script, and he was interrupted several times in the middle. After reading it, he felt very exciting and was not willing to give up.

The story mainly revolves around the largest gang organization in M ​​City—Chi Xiao. The history of the organization can be traced back to the 90s. It moved from Taiwan. For decades, various forces have been intertwined, and the police have always regarded it as the most difficult cancer to eradicate.In order to eradicate this organization, the police sent a new police officer, You Ling, to infiltrate Chi Xiao as an undercover agent and provide timely information.After working as an undercover agent for five years, You Ling gained the trust of Chi Xiao's second-in-command Hua Yang by virtue of his skills and courage.In recent years, Chi Xiao started to set foot in the business world and was at a critical moment of whitewashing. However, Long Hai, the head of Chi Xiao, unfortunately died of illness. In order to win the leader position, a fierce internal struggle was launched within the gang. The police believed that this was a breach of the organization. The best opportunity is to instruct You Ling to respond internally and let several leaders kill each other.

The story begins at this point in time. The intricate power relations within the gang, the gray identities of the characters, the tug-of-war between the police and the evil forces, and a series of conflicts all unfolded in this short period of one month.The script uses cross-narration and recall narrative many times, which has high requirements on the director's ability and the actor's skills.

He looked at the cast list and was surprised to find that Hua Yang was played by Shen Qingye.

Although it is marked as a double male lead, in terms of character attributes and roles, You Ling is a well-deserved male lead.What's more, the role of You Ling is very malleable. He wanders between black and white, with a temperament that is both good and evil. If he grasps it well, he will be popular at the box office and popular at various film festivals. He is very likely to become a hit.

On the other hand, the role of Hua Yang is at a disadvantage. Because of the underworld background of the character itself, it will be cut if the performance is good, and the brand will be smashed if the performance is too plain.In addition, Hua Yang and You Ling still have a lot of rivalry and complicated emotional lines, it is clear that Shen Qingye's fame is used to praise the leading role.
