From Middle Age: Leisure Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 19 I. I don’t like filming.

"Students, I'm just showing off my skills and preparing to perform the part where the male protagonist confesses to the female protagonist in the play. However, I think the lines in the script are not perfect enough, so I'll play it on the spot."

After saying that, Yu Dongqing put on Mai, brewed his feelings, and instantly entered the role, as if he had become the broken young man.

He looked at the audience in front of the stage, looked depressed and murmured:

If today

I wasn't stopped by that damn traffic light

That deadly red light

If you help me once

I may stand in front of her like fate

My first love has always been damn

Tripped by that damn opportunity

Being damn time

But fate

There is still a chance

It's not a chance to come to the door automatically

It is countless choices made with earnest hope

The miraculous moment of creation

Give up without hesitation and

make a prompt decision

It's time to come

That guy is more earnest

I should have more courage

The traffic lights are not the funny ones

Not the time

I said such a big sentence in one breath, although my voice was a little hoarse and my words were very clear, and I could tell that I had been trained.

The handsome boy was stunned for a moment. With this line skills, it was impossible to practice carefully without 10 or 20 years of hard work!

Not to mention the micro-expression on the face during the performance, it is so natural.

Could it be that he was an actor?

But I never seemed to have seen him.

"Sorry, I'm so ugly." After performing this part, Yu Dongqing bowed to everyone and smiled and got off the stage.

There was another warm applause in the small theater.

"Brother-in-law, you are so awesome! When did you learn to act?" Mingmei was so excited. She didn't expect that he could act!

"You forgot, I have a lot of books on performance in my family?"

Yu Dongqing answered calmly.

He didn't lie about this. It turned out that Yu Dongqing really wanted to engage in acting, so he bought a lot of books to read, but the effect was not good in the end.

But that's a good reason.

Mingmei was a little skeptical when she heard this, but when she thought about it, it showed that her brother-in-law was talented, but she didn't notice it normally.

"Brother-in-law, where did your line come from? It's indeed much better than the original script." Mingmei asked curiously again.

"I think what I saw in this book is quite suitable, so I apply it." Yu Dongqing replied.

In fact, it was not a novel but a classic line from a Korean TV series "Please Answer 1988". He felt it was quite appropriate and moved it over.

Mingmei asked again as soon as she was sure, she heard a girl next to her scream: "Mingmei, is he your brother-in-law? Is it the brother-in-law who wrote "Love Song 1980" and "Love Song 1990"?"

"Of course" Mingmei looked proud.

"Wow, I like the two songs you sing so much. I didn't expect that your acting is so good! Which great god are you? Why have I never seen you in film and television?!"

"I'm not an actor, I'm just a music production editor." Yu Dongqing had no choice but to explain.

"Cough cough." Suddenly someone coughed twice, and kept sitting next to him watching everything coldly. The man who looked like a teacher spoke.

The students around immediately calmed down.

"He is my teacher, Zhang Wenqing." Mingmei explained carefully.

The Central Academy of Drama is free to attend classes. Teachers like this are invited to participate in the performance of students, mainly listening to the teacher’s final comments, which is a great reward for the students themselves.

Mingmei and the students immediately sat upright and prepared to listen to the teacher. Unexpectedly, Zhang Wenqing looked at Yu Dongqing: "Your surname is your?"

"Not to be expensive, Yu Dongqing."

"Have you learned to perform?"

"I can't say, I just know a little bit." Yu Dongqing was very modest.

"Just relying on the long lines you just read and the micro-expression control of your facial expressions on the stage, who can do it without decades of acting career? Unless you are a genius." Zhang Wenqing's words were a little sarcastic.

.

"This" Yu Dongqing is not easy to answer.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, I'm going to use the summer vacation to shoot a movie called "Mid-Aged Man". It's a small-cost art film. Everything is ready and there's only one male lead. I think your temperament is quite suitable.

How are you here to act?" Zhang Wenqing asked suddenly.

The teacher actually asked this strange man to act in the scene he made!

And he is the male lead!

Mingmei was shocked when she heard this.

Although her teacher is not as famous as the popular domestic directors in the domestic box office, she is well-known in the directorial industry.

Not to mention that as a teacher in the Central Academy of Drama, he has trained many famous actors and directors, and he often films. Although he basically shoots small-cost art films, the quality is very high. The most famous film "Life Drama Dream"

》Won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

Moreover, the filming of "Mid-Aged Man" he has been preparing for several years. It has not been launched for a long time and it has been said that he has not found a suitable male lead. Unexpectedly, he fell in love with his brother-in-law at first sight today!

But, the teacher just likes to use amateurs who seem to have never made movies.

This is the opportunity that many ordinary people dream of!

With this halo, you can directly enter the film and television industry!

Just when everyone thought Yu Dongqing agreed, Yu Dongqing smiled: "Sorry, Director Zhang, I'm busy with work and don't have time to film."

Are you busy with work?

How busy can just be a music production editor?

Besides, what if you are busy?

If you take time to shoot a movie, isn’t it much better than being an unknown editor if you become famous?

Is he a fool?

Just as everyone was full of doubts, Yu Dongqing gave another reason.

"I don't like filming."

This is a true portrayal of Yu Dongqing's inner heart.

It turns out that filming films and TV series that have been filmed for almost 20 years in that time and space have been annoyed for a long time.

When I came to this time and space, I was not good to live a leisurely life, so why did I go filming again?

The students secretly called him pretentious, and Zhang Wenqing was obviously disappointed.

Finally, I met a man who was very suitable for both appearance and temperament and had a good acting skills, but the other party refused.

Don't like filming!

However, everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force them. Zhang Wenqing had to say that you should consider it again, and then turn around and leave.

Before leaving, I looked at the longing bright smile again, and then I remembered that I had not commented yet.

After thinking about it, I said something like: "The show is okay. Your brother-in-law has also said the disadvantages. Also, you act better than the director." After that, he turned around and left.

The performance finally came to an end smoothly. Mingmei went to the backstage to remove her makeup and then changed her props and clothes, put on a T-shirt and jeans, and returned to her modern beauty.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you accompany you to visit our campus? You will come back tonight. Anyway, you will have dinner alone when you go back." Mingmei sent an invitation.

Yu Dongqing nodded and agreed.

The two walked shoulder to shoulder on the campus tree-lined avenue, and the sun shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

Some of the students who came and went to watch them curiously.

Many people know Mingmei. He is a beautiful and talented woman from the Central Academy of Drama. But who is the handsome and mature middle-aged man next to her?

It seems that the two are quite close.

"Brother-in-law, my teacher just invited you to star in the movie he made, why did you refuse?" Mingmei expressed her doubts.
