Dad Academy

Chapter 407 Putting on airs

Wang Han has won the best actor in a TV series and is commonly known as the King of Views. There is no doubt about his acting skills. Zhang Tan originally liked his acting skills and his temperament matched that of Zhang Dongsheng, so he was the first choice in his heart, but he rejected it at the time.

At that time, Zhang Tan, Liu Jinlu and Sheng Xiaoxiao took turns inviting him, but they didn't move.

Liu Jinlu and Zhang Tan were not familiar with him, but Sheng Xiaoxiao knew him and invited him to dinner. They made a special trip to invite him but failed to invite him.

However, he was more honest and said that he did not want to play a bad guy role like Zhang Dongsheng because he had just become a father and wanted to leave a good impression on his daughter.

Having said that, if he really played Zhang Dongsheng, he would be the one who hangs up the "Zhang Dongsheng No Entry" sign in the scenic spot.

Deng Wen encountered such troubles. Scenic spots and elementary schools hung up such signs. While he was happy about the influence of "The Hidden Corner", he was also worried about his own reputation and image.

He is very worried that he has fixed the image of Zhang Dongsheng from now on, and it will be difficult to break through. There are many such examples in the entertainment industry. Some actors originally had great prospects, but because of an impressive role, they can never get rid of it. The audience sees him , the first thing that came to mind was this role, so how could he play other roles?

Deng Wen already had such worries.

Wang Han initially rejected the role of Zhang Dongsheng, and then almost forgot about it. It was not until the recent broadcast of "The Hidden Corner" that it became popular one after another, and many people around him were talking about the plot. That TV series you acted in?

It would be a lie to say that he has no regrets at all. He has watched every episode carefully and is one of the people who follow the drama. After watching it, he thought that if he played Zhang Dongsheng, he could do better, and maybe with this role, he could once again challenge the emperor.

But these were all things for later. He only thought about it secretly in his heart and never told anyone, not even his wife.

He learned from his agent that Pujiang Film Studio was going to produce "The Hidden Corner 2". The agent wanted him to try for it, and the company also wanted it.

Everyone knows that if the first part is available, the second part will become popular before it is aired. I don’t say it will definitely be popular, but there is a high probability that it will be popular.

He hesitated for a long time, refusing in his heart, and finally refused.

If he didn't take over "The Hidden Corner 2", wouldn't that be a slap in the face? Of course, directors, screenwriters, and producers took turns inviting him, but he didn't agree. Now he's taking the initiative to ask for a role. How embarrassing.

After refusing, Wang Han temporarily put the matter behind him and didn't think about it any more. Until today, his agent found him again and told him that Pujiang Film Studio had approved a new drama and was auditioning actors.

The agent knew his concerns and specifically mentioned that the new drama was not a sequel to "The Hidden Corner" but a brand new TV series called "The Silent Truth."

Although Wang Han did not receive the script, an actor in his company did. The agent found the other party and "borrowed" the synopsis of the story and a biography of a certain character, and successfully persuaded Wang Han to give the studio a Telephone.

Wang Han called Gao Xiaolan first, and they had some friendship.

Sheng Xiaoxiao didn't mind having him audition, but she suggested that Wang Han talk to Zhang Tan or Liu Jinlu.

Wang Han thought about it. All three of them invited him in the first place. Now that they wanted roles, he should give them separate roles, so the second one called Zhang Tan.

Zhang Tan didn't think too much about it. Wang Han was a good actor and he admired it very much. "The Silent Truth" is an ensemble drama, which requires very high acting skills from the main and supporting actors.

He chatted with Wang Han on the phone about the script and role, and made an appointment to audition. Finally, Wang Han took the initiative to invite him to find a time to have dinner.

Wang Han is a person who can afford to take things and let them go. He either doesn't ask for anything from others, but once he does ask for things from others, he can let go of his so-called pride, reserve, and airs. No wonder such a person can succeed. If it were someone else, he would probably be embarrassed.

Both the leading actor and the main supporting actors had invited actors to audition. When he was about to get off work that day, Zhang Tan went to Liu Jinlu to discuss the issue of actors. When he saw the name "Su Lan" appearing on the list of people who auditioned, he was stunned. , I thought it was Liu Jinlu who took care of him on purpose, but when I saw that he didn't look weird, I thought that I was overthinking it. Su Lan should be Liu Jinlu's favorite. After all, he didn't know about his relationship with her.

At this time, Liu Jinlu suddenly looked at him and said with a smile: "Su Lan is a good actor, her acting skills have improved significantly, and she is completely qualified for the role of Li Jing. Teacher Zhang, you must seize the opportunity. If you can't win it again, you deserve to be single."

Zhang Tan: "..."

"Don't look at me like that. What if I can't tell? When you were filming "Women at Thirty", your thoughts were on your face. Everyone knew Sima Zhao's thoughts."

"No, Director Liu, you know this too? You weren't there when we were filming "30 Women"."

"Hehe, I heard it. Don't deny it in a hurry. Whether you like it or not is up to you. What I like is Su Lan's acting skills and potential. It has nothing to do with you. I'm just telling you this. The one who gets closer to the water first wins. , you can figure it out yourself."

"...Wang Han invites us to dinner tonight."

"Wang Han? Don't go! When I invited him to dinner again and again, he didn't show appreciation. What's the matter? Now that you want to find a movie to shoot, you come to invite me to dinner? Okay, I'm not a stingy person. Give me a call. , invite me in person, don’t let you convey it, there is no sincerity, why should I go?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Han called.

Zhang Tan stood aside and listened, and heard Liu Jinlu refuse, saying that he had plans for the evening and couldn't go.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jinlu said to Zhang Tan: "I didn't mean to put on airs. Sometimes in the entertainment industry, you have to put on airs. Otherwise, others will think you are easy to talk to and they won't take you seriously. Don't feel bad for Wang Han either. , for a person who has gotten as far as he does, this kind of expression is not called expression. It doesn’t matter if he can see it or not. He has to look at my expression and don’t feel aggrieved. Otherwise, I should have been aggrieved in the first place. , you should be aggrieved, and Mr. Sheng should be aggrieved, too. Any grievance can be eaten as food, so there is nothing wrong with him. If he really wants to act, he will call me again."

Wang Han did call Liu Jinlu again. This was the next day. Liu Jinlu did not refuse directly this time. Instead, he said that he had no time that day and made an appointment at another time.

There were a total of 5 people that night, Zhang Tan, Liu Jinlu, Sheng Xiaoxiao, and Wang Han and his agent.

Sheng Xiaoxiao plays a somewhat similar role as an intermediary coordinator. She is both the producer of "The Silent Truth" and Wang Han's friend.

At the dinner table, Wang Han kept a relatively low profile. Although he did not speak outright, his attitude was there. This matter was said to be open, and everyone was not a small-minded person. If they could agree to eat this meal, they had already given up.

After the dinner, Wang Han's manager wanted to continue arranging activities, but everyone was a little tired, so they dispersed.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Zhang Tan was about to call for a driver, but suddenly he thought of the one from last time, who lived in Huangjia Village. He forgot his name for a moment, and after searching for a while in his phone's address book, he found it, Hu Mingkai.

"I'm Zhang Tan. I asked you to drive for me last time. I also live in..."

"I know, I know, Boss Zhang, I know you also live in Huangjia Village."

"Haha, yes, you have a good memory. Are you free tonight? I'm at Fengyi Chinese Restaurant on Fangcao Road."

"Yes, I'm nearby, but...Boss Zhang, my son is also here~"

"Your son? How many sons do you have? As long as they can fit in my car."

"One by one, just one, 5 years old."

"Okay, come on."

There were many chauffeurs waiting at the door of the restaurant. In order to avoid trouble, Zhang Tan did not go out and sat in the rest area of ​​the restaurant. About ten minutes later, Hu Mingkai called and said he had arrived.

Hu Mingkai was accompanied by a timid little boy, close to him, holding a small fish tank in his hand. There were three small goldfish swimming freely in the fish tank.

Seeing Zhang Tan, the little boy called him uncle in a low voice.

Zhang Tan smiled and gave him a pack of biscuits, which were snacks in the rest area, specially for the children.

The child didn't dare to pick it up, so he did it after his father encouraged him.

"The car is over there, let's go there."

Hu Mingkai put his son in the passenger seat, and Zhang Tan said, "Let him sit in the back. It's not safe for a child to sit in the passenger seat."

"this……"

"I'm in the passenger seat."

The little boy was afraid of strangers and probably didn't dare sit in the back seat with him, so Zhang Tan sat in the passenger seat specially.

Hu Mingkai was extremely grateful. This was the first time he met such a caring car owner.

After everyone got in the car, Hu Mingkai drove away. The car was quiet for a while. Zhang Tan broke the silence and asked: "What's the name of the kid?"

"His name is Hu Jiehao."

Zhang Tan smiled and said, "It's a good name with a good meaning."

Hu Mingkai said while driving: "I gave him this name because I hope he can be like a hero in the future, but he is so timid, like a little girl, and he still needs to exercise."

Zhang Tan looked at Hu Jiehao in the back seat through the rearview mirror and saw that he was seriously feeding cookie crumbs to the little goldfish in the fish tank. The little biscuit I just gave him was fed to the little goldfish.

Hu Jiehao noticed Zhang Tan looking at him, raised his head and quickly lowered his head, his little head hanging even lower, almost reaching into the fish tank.

His little body was tight, sitting on the edge of the seat, just touching it gently, minimizing himself as much as possible so as not to take up more space. He hugged the goldfish bowl tightly with his hands, as if he was pouring all his attention into it. In the fish tank.
