Xinggu Zhenren, June Huiran.

It rained for a while yesterday, and the highest temperature in Hengdian today was only 25 degrees.

The warm breeze blew the beads of sweat on Cheng Shuo's forehead, and the hangover feeling was instantly dispelled.

Perhaps it was because he felt this coolness that the confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared.

It's almost noon, and there's still an endless stream of people coming and going on the street.

However, unlike the ordinary rubbing shoulders, this scene does not appear to be full of vitality. Instead, it is like a soulless body. The mechanical movement vividly illustrates what numbness is.

This kind of numbness is very familiar to Cheng Shuo.

Many people join the acting profession with very simple intentions, just thinking about being famous in front of others, and he is certainly no exception.

However, in fact, there are more than a million people floating around, but no one can stand out.

After experiencing the gap between ideals and reality, this kind of numbness is not surprising at all.

It just so happened that Cheng Shuo had just experienced this gap at this time.

Since its inception in 2007, the remake project of the four major masterpieces has attracted a lot of attention. Compared with other crews, the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" is particularly capable of "acting like a monster".

Not only did the publicity continue, but a talent show called "Dream of Red Mansions" was held, which was euphemistically called "for amateurs".

In the previous life, Cheng Shuo submitted the application with the attitude of giving it a try, but unexpectedly, he was favored by the director Hu Mei. He got the green light all the way in the competition and got the top five results in the Magic City sub-division.

Even Hu Mei had privately asked him to start preparing to write a biography of Jia Lian.

This joy did not last long before a series of blows caused him to fall from the clouds to the bottom.

Hu Mei refused to make concessions and insisted that the three leading roles must be played by national second-level actors.

The investors insisted on using Jiang Mengjie, and the two parties went back and forth, but no one would let go.

As a result, the cast of "A Dream of Red Mansions" changed, the director changed from Hu Mei to Li Shaohong, and the audition for "A Dream of Red Mansions" also incorporated a revival competition format.

Cheng Shuo's situation after that was that Jia Lian became Jia Rong, from Jia Rong to Huo Qi, from one of the protagonists to a marginal role.

He wanted to resist, but after all, he still had Rong Xing's fifteen-year contract of betrayal on him.

The group of actors in Red Mansion were in the same boat as him. Li Di was lucky enough to be signed for ten years, and Hengyuan and he were both for fifteen years.

However, compared to Hengyuan, Cheng Shuo naturally has no chance to stand out. Rong Xingda has no resource advantage and relies entirely on self-produced dramas to become popular as an actor.

In the past few years, high-quality products have been released frequently, making Zhouxun popular, but this magic has not been able to last forever.

At the turning point of "Dream of Red Mansions", Rong Xingda's output stagnated, and he gradually fell into the curse of whoever terminates the contract will become popular.

When the big names in the company terminated their contracts one after another, Cheng Shuo thought that his chance had finally come, but the company turned around and favored Xiaoxianrou.

I can only try my best to get some opportunities to star in bad movies.

Recalling the hard times of ups and downs in bad movies in his previous life, Cheng Shuo sighed for a while.

Fortunately, he had a chance to come back.

His lungs, which were not infected by nicotine, were slowly beating, and the refreshing air slowly circulated in his chest, making his mind clearer.

Bypassing the big pitfall of "A Dream of Red Mansions", he put aside his last worry and took the first step after his rebirth.

"Name, phone number."

At the casting scene for the cast of "Legend of Sword and Fairy III", a temporary pergola was set up in front of the hotel. The assistant director sat under the shade, shaking the cattail leaf fan with one hand and pointing at the form in front of him with the other hand.

After taking a sip of herbal tea, he finally raised his head and bumped into Cheng Shuo's face. He raised his eyebrows unconsciously.

The young man in front of him was dressed in simple clothes, but he was clean and sharp, with sharp edges and corners, a high bridge of nose, sunken eye sockets, full of three-dimensionality, and obvious deep eyes. The shade of the tree fell on his face along the gap of the pergola, starting from the bridge of the nose.

Clear into the intersection of light and dark.

He moved gently, first gently unfolding the form, pressing the corners that lifted up in the breeze with one hand, and writing slowly with the other hand. Every move made people feel comfortable.

good.

The assistant director secretly praised him, maybe because his image was so outstanding that his sparse and ordinary actions seemed to be extra points.

Looking at the name he had written, the assistant director silently searched for the name Cheng Shuo in his mind.

As an assistant director, he naturally has a wide range of options. However, there is no such number one person in the list submitted by various group leaders in Hengdian. He must be a pure amateur.

However, I didn’t think too much about it. The company Sugarman lacked everything except new people.

"Which role should I audition for?"

As he became more and more satisfied, he asked more questions.

"Chonglou." Cheng Shuo raised his head and responded with a smile.

"Chonglou?"

The assistant director frowned subconsciously and shook his head secretly.

There is nothing wrong with his image, but his height condition is indeed somewhat unqualified.

As a character who is antagonistic to the protagonist in Sword and Sword III, Chonglou, who is both good and evil, shows his domineering attitude and is very weak to the condition of height, which is a significant bonus.

After all, Hu Ge, who plays the leading role, is 185cm tall. Visually, Cheng Shuo is about the same height as Hu Ge. The two of them don't seem to be oppressive in their scenes.

After watching the ghosts and monsters all morning, he found a good prospect. He casually looked through the resume Cheng Shuo handed over and said, "It's not very suitable."

Cheng Shuo was not surprised, and asked with a chuckle: "Then do you think I am suitable to play Mao Mao?"

Seeing his well-proportioned appearance, which really couldn't be compared to Mao Mao, the assistant director laughed.

But seeing his attitude like this, I didn't want to try to persuade him anymore, "You're not afraid of stage. You even asked me about it."

Cheng Shuo said: "It's okay. At worst, I will perform on stilts when the time comes."

"Hahaha." The assistant director laughed suddenly and took back the order: "Okay, let's get the sign."

After registration, Cheng Shuo received his number plate from the staff.

No. 45.

I glanced at the timetable again and saw that it was his group's turn around two o'clock in the afternoon.

The sun was getting higher and he didn't want to go back to the cramped rental house, so he found a fly house with a fan and sat down to prepare for the afternoon interview.

As soon as my butt touched the stool, there was a sound of protest from my stomach.

"Have a bowl of beef noodles."

He was stroking the stubble on the disposable tachyon. When he thought about the promising future, he became angry and said, "Add another egg."

Before he put his bold words on the ground, his cell phone rang.

When I took it out, I saw a message that the phone was out of service.

Next to this one was the news that the landlord was urging him to pay the rent.

Cheng Shuo put his other hand into his pocket and touched a few steel coins deep in the pocket. He moved them back and forth twice in his hand while his brows became more and more frowning.

"Ahem." Cheng Shuo reluctantly cleared his throat and shouted to the boss:

"Let's use scallion oil instead of noodles. No eggs."

The future is promising.

not now.
