Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

Chapter 376 Have you watched "The Actor's Self-cultivation"?

After eating the melon, I took a shower and then lay down on a wicker chair under the shade of a tree. Just two words, comfort!

Not to mention that the weather in Beijing in 1983 was really good, but in the 21st century, when Beijing entered July, it would have been extremely hot, and it would be unbearable without turning on the air conditioner.

But in this era, you only need to wear a small vest and enjoy the coolness under the trees. You don't need to turn on the air conditioner or fan.

Of course, this is also because July has just entered, and in two days, normal room temperature will definitely not be comfortable.

Fortunately, Cao Zhiqiang now lives in the Peking Hotel for a long time, and it is all air-conditioned, so he doesn't have to worry at all.

However, the lease of the Peking Hotel was about to expire. Cao Zhiqiang thought that when the lease expired, he would change places and go to the Jianguo Hotel.

Jianguo Hotel has newer equipment, more user-friendly services, and most importantly, a courtyard suite, which makes your stay more comfortable.

"Zhiqiang!" Hao Shuwen, who had read the script for the second time, came over and sat down and said, "Can I ask you a favor?"

"What's the matter?" Cao Zhiqiang, who was lying on a wicker chair with his eyes squinting and dozing, said lazily, "Say."

Hao Shuwen said: "I like this script very much. Since you want to play the male lead, can you let me play the female lead?"

"Huh?" Cao Zhiqiang opened his eyes and looked at the smiling Hao Shuwen, "You want to act?"

"Why, it can't work?" Hao Shuwen said, "Don't underestimate me. I am also from a cultural troupe. Although I specialize in musical instruments, I also have a foundation in dancing."

Cao Zhiqiang laughed and slowly sat up: "No, whether you can play a musical instrument or dance is two different things from whether you can act.

If nothing else, have you ever studied acting?

Have you watched "The Actor's Self-cultivation"?

Do you know who Stanislavsky is?"

"Don't underestimate people." Hao Shuwen said flatly.

"Although I don't know what self-cultivation you are talking about, and I don't know what skittishness is, but at the very least, I have been on stage many times, seen many big scenes, and I don't have stage fright in front of people or cameras.

Isn’t that enough?

It's just acting. In the final analysis, isn't it just about performing in front of the camera? I have performed many shows before. Even if there is a gap between me and a real actor, it won't be too different, don't you think?

Besides, many actors don’t have professional backgrounds, so why don’t they still act?

I don’t believe that I’m any worse than those actors who don’t have a professional background.”

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang frowned and then nodded: "Hey, there is a certain truth to this. The most important quality in acting is not to have stage fright, and the second is to be able to express what you want to express. Your words are already better than many people's.

Stronger."

"How about it?"

Hao Shuwen quickly grabbed one of Cao Zhiqiang's arms with both hands, and deliberately rubbed her chest without wearing underwear.

"Zhiqiang, let me give it a try. If I want to play this role with you, I will play Wen Xue.

I promise to perform well, just trust me once!"

Cao Zhiqiang looked at Hao Shuwen's chest next to his arm: "Wen Xue is an intellectual young woman who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, but knows how to restrain herself. With your coquettish appearance, I'm afraid Pan Jinlian is not alive now, right?"

"Bah, what Pan Jinlian, what are you talking about?"

Hao Shuwen rolled her eyes at Cao Zhiqiang, then let go of her hand, sat up straight, lowered her head slightly, picked up the book, smiled, and assumed an elegant and calm posture.

"How's it going?" Hao Shuwen asked gently after posing.

Cao Zhiqiang carefully looked at Hao Shuwen's current appearance and touched his chin thoughtfully.

"Well, it kind of means that, but it's still almost meaningless. It doesn't match the Wen Xue in my script."

Hao Shuwen immediately broke her guard, lowered her hand and glared at Cao Zhiqiang: "What do you mean, why don't you match me? Am I not beautiful enough?"

"It's not that you're not pretty enough." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "It's your image, right? Yang Guang is too upright, and he's more suitable for playing positive characters, or aggressive characters, such as Wang Xifeng.

But Wen Xue in this script needs to have a kind of restrained and repressed beauty.

In you, I only see vitality and vigor, that kind of inner fire, outer appearance like water, and a very knowing sense of restraint and tranquility. You don't have that, so you are not suitable to play this heroine."

"It's so unbelievable." Hao Shuwen frowned, "How long has it been? Just wait for me to gather my emotions and look sad, that's fine!"

After saying that, Hao Shuwen would start to get emotional and act like she was sad.

"Forget it, Sister Hao." Cao Zhiqiang said quickly, "Don't try, even if your acting skills are good, even if I agree, you can't play this heroine."

"Why?" Hao Shuwen frowned, "Aren't you an investor? And you're also the lead actor and screenwriter. If you want me to be the heroine, it's not just a matter of words?"

"That's really not true." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "Yes, I am the investor, I am the screenwriter, and I am also the leading actor. However, the film was shot by Beijing Film Studio and directed by Xu Qingdong, so the final decision rests with me.

In their hands.

In other words, the director has the final say on matters like casting, and I have no say at all.

Specific to this drama, the male and female leads have already been decided, only the other actors are still undecided."

"Has it been decided?" Hao Shuwen frowned again, "Who is the heroine?"

"You should have heard of this heroine." Cao Zhiqiang said, "She is Zhu Lin."

"Zhu Lin? Who is it?" Hao Shuwen continued to frown, obviously not recognizing the other person.

"That's what I'm saying." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "It's just that there was no movie last year called "Legend of the Pear Garden" and she was the heroine Hua Xiangrong. Do you have any impressions?"

Hao Shuwen thought for a while and shook her head: "I have no impression. I haven't seen it."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Yes, if you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it. I'll introduce you to him later."

Indeed, although Zhu Lin later became quite famous, she was really known to the general public as the king of the daughter country in the 1986 edition of Journey to the West.

Before this, although Zhu Lin had acted in many dramas, he was not famous.

In this era, the speed of information dissemination is not fast, Zhu Lin is not famous at this time, and he has filmed very few movies, so it is normal that Hao Shuwen has never seen Zhu Lin's movies.

In fact, Zhu Lin is just a rookie at this time, one who has just emerged. In addition, he is low-key, so his popularity is only about that.

"Oops!" Cao Zhiqiang suddenly covered his left arm, and then looked at Hao Shuwen in surprise, "Why are you pinching me?"

Indeed, just when Cao Zhiqiang was thinking about something, Hao Shuwen suddenly twisted his arm, causing Cao Zhiqiang a lot of pain.

"Hmph!" Hao Shuwen curled her lips, "The one named Zhu Lin must be very beautiful, right? Are you thinking about her again?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cao Zhiqiang said, "I'm already thirty, and I got married early. How can you be so jealous?"

"Humph!" Hao Shuwen half-smiled, "Don't you just like married women?"

"Don't be ridiculous!" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "Why don't I say it? I don't have the final say who the heroine is. It's the director who has the final say. It's Director Xu who decides."

"Oh?" Hao Shuwen frowned and said, "Did the Director Xu you mentioned have an affair with the man named Zhu Lin?"

"How do I know that?" Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "But it shouldn't be the case. I heard that Director Xu and Zhu Lin are acquainted. He wanted to make a music TV show with Zhu Lin as the heroine, but his film was missing.

He wanted me to sponsor him, so the trustee approached me, and it was because of this that we met."

"Oh, that's it." Hao Shuwen said, "Anyway, the heroine has already been confirmed?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and pinched Hao Shuwen's cheek: "Don't be angry, Sister Hao, you are only twenty-six years old and still very young. You cannot control such a deep emotional drama.

She is already in her thirties, so her experience is there, and she is indeed more mature than you, so she fits the role very well. Even I, watching her audition, thought she was quite suitable.

Furthermore, after all, Zhu Lin has acted in many dramas and has received formal training, so his acting skills are still very good.

As you know, I have never acted before, I just know the script and the characters better.

This kind of me is suitable for someone with an old acting background.

Otherwise, you and I are both inexperienced. If we really want you and me to be the male and female protagonists, it will definitely not work.

So, you'd better practice your singing voice and work hard to do a more promising job as a singer.

Listen to me, in the past twenty years, singers have been more popular and earned more.

If you really want to act, go back and find an acting training class for further training. Once you have certain acting skills, it will not be too late to give you a chance to act.

Anyway, I wasn't short of money, and I got to know Director Xu, which gave me my initial exposure to the entertainment industry.

As long as the play is completed, even if we have a friendship, wouldn't it be easy for you to play a role later?"

Hao Shuwen thought about it for a while, then nodded: "That's fine, but I like this drama so much. Even if the protagonist is not good, can you let me play a supporting role? A passerby can also do it, let me feel it."

"That's it." Cao Zhiqiang touched his chin, "Sister Hao, stand up."

Hao Shuwen immediately stood up and looked at Cao Zhiqiang with a smile.

Cao Zhiqiang looked at Hao Shuwen and said, "Take another turn."

Hao Shuwen made another profit.

Cao Zhiqiang narrowed his eyes: "To act angry, it's best to use your husband as a reference and imagine the scene when you caught the adulterer."

Upon hearing this, Hao Shuwen immediately bared her teeth and looked at Cao Zhiqiang angrily, as if she was about to tear him apart.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Cao Zhiqiang quickly shouted, "Sister Hao, you are amazing, how can you change your expression so quickly? Let me see, you were born to perform!"

"Huh!" Hao Shuwen sat down angrily, as if she hadn't gotten over the anger just now, "I'm angry, you have to compensate me!"

"How to compensate, you tell me." Cao Zhiqiang immediately apologized and smiled.

Hao Shuwen bit her lip and rolled her eyes at Cao Zhiqiang: "I want to eat!"

"It's easy to eat!" Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "It's almost noon, what do you want to eat? Quanjude or Donglaishun? Do you want to go to Laomo for Russian food?"

Hao Shuwen immediately looked at Cao Zhiqiang with charming eyes, stood up, came to Cao Zhiqiang, and whispered in his ear: "I want to eat you!"

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned: "I..."

At this moment, Hao Shuwen suddenly hugged Cao Zhiqiang and kissed him directly.

After a brief exchange of words, the two held hands and entered the house panting.

Forty minutes later, Cao Zhiqiang was lying on the mat, sweating profusely, panting heavily, staring at the ceiling, motionless.

Hao Shuwen lay on her side with a smile on her face and gently fanned Cao Zhiqiang with a cattail leaf fan.

"Qiangzi, you are a lot better today." Hao Shuwen shook her cattail leaf fan and laughed softly, "You are so energetic!"

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang closed his eyes and said, "I abstained from sex for a while to cultivate my body. Recently, my body has recovered a lot, so my physical strength has also improved."

"By the way, are you really weak?" Hao Shuwen laughed again, "You shouldn't be? Ordinarily you are a nineteen-year-old young man, and you are at your peak of strength. How can you be weak?"

Cao Zhiqiang pouted, not wanting to tell her that he was a time traveler and that his vitality would have been damaged long ago if he died once.

Fortunately, recently he has been taking supplements with food and medicine, coupled with moderate exercise and abstinence, and his physical condition has improved a lot.

Yesterday, he went to the old Chinese medicine doctor who prescribed medicine for him for a follow-up consultation. The old Chinese medicine doctor said that he was recovering well and could have sex, but he had to take it easy and do not do it more than twice a day and no more than five times a week.

If the old Chinese medicine doctor hadn't said that he could have sex, he wouldn't have played poker with Hao Shuwen so quickly.

Although he also enjoys playing poker, his health is more important after all.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Hao Shuwen kissed Cao Zhiqiang's cheek, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. In fact, I just wanted to say that you are very, very powerful now. I almost lost my way just now!"

"Hmph!" Cao Zhiqiang reopened his eyes, "Do you think everyone is like you, with a prominent family background and no lack of food and drink since childhood? I come from an ordinary family. My father died young and my mother supports the family. I can't compare to you in terms of nutrition.

Compare.

In addition, I almost died once in the winter, which damaged my vitality. Later, I didn’t pay attention to recuperation and wrote all kinds of irritating writing, so I lost my vitality.”

"Yes, yes." Hao Shuwen quickly apologized and said, "I know you have a hard life, right? Don't worry, I will take good care of you in the future, I will never let you endure hardship again, and I will make you happy."

"I really lost to you." Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I really don't know whether I took advantage of you or you took advantage of me."

"I, I took advantage of you!" Hao Shuwen immediately put her arms around Cao Zhiqiang's neck, "Qiangzi, I won't mention it before. From now on, I will be yours. No matter what happens to you, I will never leave you, but you

You can’t do without me, okay?”

"Okay, okay, I understand." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

"Qiangzi, you are the best!" Hao Shuwen immediately kissed Cao Zhiqiang's face with a smile, and then leaned close to her.

"Yeah, yeah, stop hugging." Cao Zhiqiang said quickly, "It's too hot today to hug each other, keep fanning!"

"Yes, obey!" Hao Shuwen then let go of Cao Zhiqiang, picked up the cattail leaf fan, and slowly fanned Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang half sat up, leaning on the bedside and thinking thoughtfully: "Actually, Sister Hao, although you can't be the heroine of this drama, there is a supporting role that is quite suitable for you."

"Oh, which one?" Hao Shuwen asked.

"That's the colleague of the heroine." Cao Zhiqiang said, "That's the young female teacher in the middle who saw a male student stealing Wenxue's stockings and later defended Wenxue, but was forcibly suppressed by the leader."

"Oh?" Hao Shuwen was stunned, "You mean, the female teacher named Juanzi?"

"Yes!" Cao Zhiqiang said, "Juanzi is set up as Wen Xue's colleague, she is also very warm-hearted, and she has a lot of scenes.

In that drama, Juanzi came from a poor rural background, and at first she couldn't stand Wenxue's coquettishness as a girl from a big city, so she had a lot of scenes opposite Wenxue at the beginning.

But later Juanzi gradually discovered Wenxue's strengths, and the two parties settled their differences and became good colleagues and best friends.

In the end, Juanzi stood up for Wenxue and was suppressed together. It was Wenxue who persuaded Juanzi not to make trouble.

In short, Juanzi is a rare positive image in this drama, and she could use more drama.

Moreover, this Juanzi character has a distinct personality and is relatively easy to act, so it suits your temperament very well.

It just so happens that you are a newcomer and have never acted before. How about you practice with this Juanzi first?"

"I will listen to you!" Hao Shuwen said with a smile while shaking the cattail leaf fan for Cao Zhiqiang.

"Then it's settled!" Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "After dinner, we'll go find Director Xu and talk about your role."

"Can Director Xu agree?" Hao Shuwen asked.

"Don't worry, I'm just a supporting actress, so it should be fine." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "Of course, you will have to give full play to it when the time comes. It doesn't take much, just use your ability to laugh whenever you want and get angry whenever you want.

Guaranteed it will work.”

"Death!" Hao Shuwen lightly hit Cao Zhiqiang on the shoulder, "It's not because you're angry with me!"

"Hey." Cao Zhi turned over fiercely and hugged Hao Shuwen directly.

"In that case, I will thank you very much, my Sister Hao!"
