Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 21 21. Audition of the new crew (please read and collect)

The dim room was filled with the pungent smell of chemicals. Under the dark red light, Chen Li'an was concentrating on developing photos.

Ma Xiaoqing stood nearby with a cigarette in her mouth, looking at Chen Li'an's back, feeling as if she had lost.

Chen Li'an clipped the photo to the rope, then took off his gloves and looked at the water-stained photo. He was very satisfied with his selfie.

"How do you feel?" Chen Li'an turned around and asked.

Ma Xiaoqing looked at Chen Li'an in the photo, and it was difficult to describe the emotions represented by that expression: calm, crazy, paranoid, and weird.

Ma Xiaoqing couldn't find the right words to describe it.

This photo was taken by Chen Li'an after filming was completed, saying it was to pay homage to the deceased "Qi Lei".

"Give it to me to commemorate my love that died before it sprouted." Ma Xiaoqing looked at Chen Li'an and said as if she was resigned to her fate.

Seeing Ma Xiaoqing like this, Chen Li'an couldn't help laughing. He pinched her round face and said, "Love and lust are two different things. You are just greedy for my body."

Ma Xiaoqing pushed Chen Li'an's hand away and said loudly: "I'm not lecherous! I'm in love with you, can't I!"

Chen Li'an shrugged his shoulders and said, "The one you love is Qi Lei, not me. It's not the real me from the first day I joined the group, so it's not love at all."

"I just fell in love with you, not Qi Lei who fell in love with Chen Li'an!"

"Don't be a rogue. You said you drank too much and forgot about it the next day."

"I didn't drink too much now. I remembered that I want you."

"You're still lusting after my body."

"I'm just greedy!"

As Ma Xiaoqing spoke, she started to grab Chen Li'an's pants and pulled him into her arms.

"Don't you like romance? Don't you say this is just a physiological impulse?" Chen Li'an helplessly allowed Ma Xiaoqing's hands to touch his body.

"Fuck your sentiments, I'm going to be a gangster today!"

It is really incomprehensible for a woman to become a gangster, and it is difficult for male victims to form effective resistance.

A weak and muscular man like Chen Li'an can only choose the principle of non-resistance when facing a vicious gangster.

Fortunately, Ma Xiaoqing was a conscientious gangster and let Chen Li'an go the next day.

When Chen Li'an left Ma Xiaoqing's house, he looked back and felt quite sorry for Ma Xiaoqing.

But this emotion soon disappeared. After all, the guilt brought by desire has a different shelf life than the guilt brought by love.

Chen Li'an came to the street, found a phone booth and called Shu Qi.

"Is the audition I mentioned earlier over? I'm done now."

"I know. You can come over at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow. I told Director Cheng."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Li'an touched his chin and recalled the movie Huayue.

There are quite a lot of behind-the-scenes stories about this movie. There were many people auditioning for the original heroine, almost all of them big-name actresses.

But the final heroine was a newcomer brought in by the producer.

However, the female lead was replaced by Director Cheng one month after filming started because her acting skills were too poor.

How can we make a movie without a heroine? So Director Cheng invited the best actress in China, Gong Li, who has won the Best Actress award at three major European film festivals many times.

In addition to Gong Li, this movie also has famous actors like He Saifei and the most beautiful Yang Guifei Zhou Jie.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Chen Li'an for the time being. He took the 1,200 yuan salary given to him by Wang Xiaoshuai and planned to buy some belongings.

This fucking world!

Chen Li'an held a brand new camera stand in his hand and looked at the price tag of the same prototype in the window on the roadside.

The price in the window was three thousand four thousand, but the camera he bought cost him three thousand eight thousand!

At this moment, Chen Li'an even wanted to go back to the original store, grab the boss and give him a trick!

It cost an extra 400 yuan, and Chen Li'an felt like he had been taken advantage of.

After struggling for a long time, Chen Li'an gave up the plan of going back to find trouble with his boss. Who should he blame for not asking about the price?

After buying the camera, Chen Li'an went to buy a bunch of painting materials. He couldn't lose his oil painting skills. Life was so boring, so he had to find something to do.

When Chen Li'an returned to the courtyard with a pile of painting materials, Uncle Qi was playing chess in the front yard with Uncle Li in the middle yard.

Both old men are bad chess players. There is no old man to play with them outside, so they can only play chess together in their own yard.

"Li'an is back. What have you been up to recently? Come to my place for a drink tonight." After seeing Chen Li'an, Uncle Li asked with a smile as he touched the chessboard.

Uncle Qi, who was expecting victory, puffed his beard angrily and glared: "You old guy, if you can't play chess, you just have to do it! If I play chess with you in the future, I will be a dog!"

Uncle Li calmly picked up the teapot and took a sip. He didn't care at all about Uncle Qi's swearing that he would no longer be a dog once or twice.

Chen Li'an didn't want to get involved in the war between the two old men, so he quickly said: "I went to shoot a movie some time ago, and I won't go there tonight. It's too troublesome for you."

"You two gentlemen, I'm going back to the house, you two can continue."

After saying that, Chen Li'an left, otherwise the master would have to drag him to judge.

After returning to his room, Chen Li'an sniffed and smelled a musty smell, so he opened the door to ventilate.

The calendar hanging on the wall was from March, but it is already June.

Chen Li'an turned the calendar to June and couldn't help but feel happy looking at the models on the calendar.

Isn't this the human elf Mr. Zhou? When he thought about meeting the real person on the Huayue crew in a while, Chen Li'an couldn't help but pick up the camera and take a photo of Zhou Xun on the calendar.

After the filming, Chen Li'an started cleaning. After being busy for more than 20 minutes, Chen Li'an took out a novel and started reading.

The name of the novel is the original novel of the movie "Flower Shadow", but the author Ye Zhaoyan scolded Director Cheng after watching the movie.

Frankly speaking, my novel is not that good, but Hanazuki is even worse!

Gee, the director is really miserable. After the movie was released, he was scolded by the original author. Before the movie was released, he had an unhappy relationship with Wang Anyi, one of the screenwriters. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Shu Qi to come to the rescue.

Oh, by the way, Director Cheng also fell out with the producer, and the two never collaborated again.

Later, Wang Anyi couldn't help complaining that Director Cheng was too self-centered. Lu Wei, the screenwriter of Farewell My Concubine, also complained, bluntly saying that Director Cheng's two best films were the ones he did not participate in the screenwriting.

In fact, in Chen Li'an's opinion, this movie is not that bad, but Director Cheng added too many personal thoughts and lost the underlying logic.

In one sentence, Director Cheng is always based on self-expression, pursues meaning but ignores logic. He is immersed in self-woven dreams and lacks the ability to perceive the audience's viewing needs.

Chen Li'an couldn't remember who said this, but he felt that he was right.

Chen Li'an actually doesn't really care about the movie Hua Yue, but he just likes the characters in it, who are twisted and contradictory.

All the characters are ugly and perverted, with no beauty in sight.

Although Chen Li'an didn't want to admit it, from the bottom of his heart, he also believed that human nature is inherently evil, and kindness is acquired through education.

Most people in the world do not learn well when receiving kindness education, so people become cute only when they are contradictory.

No matter how kind-hearted a person is, sometimes he can't help but be violent.

The role that he is about to audition for is also Chen Li'an's second favorite role in this movie.

The name is very interesting. It is called Zhongqiu. He is the servant of the rich lady. He was later recognized as his younger brother by the eldest lady. He always protected the eldest lady and became the head of the family. Later, when the eldest lady fell ill, he took on the responsibility and became the head of the family.

Doesn’t this look inspiring?

In fact, this movie is a story about the development of a pervert.

Chen Li'an spent an afternoon reading "Flower Shadow" and finally concluded that the novel is indeed better than the movie.

It's just that the character of Zhongqiu is not easy to figure out. Chen Li'an has never worked as a servant in a wealthy family, nor has he fallen in love with his eldest lady, nor is he a pervert.

The most important thing is that the character Zhongqiu really regarded the eldest lady as his relative at first, but later he became mentally ill after tasting lust.

If you want to play Mid-Autumn Festival well, you have to think carefully. Chen Li'an carefully recalled the plot in the movie and substituted the characters from the novel into it.

We don’t have a fuck sister, but there are still good sisters. The most important thing is the character’s emotional breakthrough, not taboo desires.

After all, Chen Li'an doesn't want to go to German Orthopedics

Zhongqiu's love for his eldest lady, Linglong, went from protecting her to heartache, then to possessing her in a twisted way, and in the end, she destroyed her if she couldn't get her.

Not complicated but very twisted emotional changes, love and desire destroyed Zhongqiu and made him grow.
