Winner in life

In the past two years, he earned nearly 3,000 yuan by working and writing some manuscripts. For this high school entrance examination, his original junior high school awarded him 3,000 yuan. Wu Meifang gave him 1,000 yuan and told him not to spend it carelessly.

That day, Liu Congbin beat the master to death with a random punch, saying that Wu Meifang was biased. Wu Meifang was so angry with her youngest son that she gave Ruihe 1,000 yuan to show that she was not biased.

There was no such thing as a child making decisions in the Liu family. In order to live a good life, she had to carefully calculate every penny of the family. Ruihe could understand that family members knew their own affairs. He felt that he was very reliable. In Wu Meifang's eyes, he was just a teenager. Children should not keep large sums of money. For Wu Meifang, this was the biggest concession.

Because the money was temporarily sufficient, Ruihe took a plane to Beijing, otherwise he would not be able to catch up with the audition. The audition in Beijing went very smoothly, so smoothly that Ruihe was a little overwhelmed.

During the audition, the audition officer still asked him to play the role of Dugu Laosou. In the two scenes before and after, the director Huo Gang, the original author of "Lingxiao Sword" Mr. Suo Yi Weng, as well as the screenwriter, producer and investors were all there.

After he finished acting according to his previous mood, he was very nervous. He waited outside for almost two hours for the result. Seeing that he came alone, the staff poured him some water and asked him if he wanted to watch TV.

"No, thank you sister."

Dugu Laosou is the number one villain in the novel.

Back then, the owner of the sword house, who was controlled by the evil nature of Lingxiao Sword and bloodbathed Huashan, had a brief sobriety after the bloodbath, and swung his sword to commit suicide in remorse. I don't know why Lingxiao Sword chose Dugu Hong. Dugu Hong left with the Lingxiao Sword before he was completely controlled, which prevented all the disciples of Huashan from dying out.

Fifty years later, Dugu Hong, who suddenly regained consciousness, returned to Huashan. He dared not say his name, but only called himself an orphan, using the alias Bai Xue. Before going up the mountain, he hid the Lingxiao Sword in a secret place. Unexpectedly, the Lingxiao Sword led another person to hell without his knowledge, and the crazy killing began again.

The discussion in the conference room was intense.

The film and television adaptation of "The Enmity of the Lingxiao Sword" was carried out by the investors with the goal of creating a classic and triggering a ratings frenzy. Some of the main roles have been determined, and they are all good actors with good acting skills. For the remaining fragmentary roles, we simply held a national casting, which is both casting and advertising, and preheating in advance.

It is undeniable that the news that "The Lingxiao Sword" will be adapted into a film and television has been overwhelming, and the publicity cost is not much, and the effect is great.

In the casting, the most worrying thing is those young or teenage actresses. It is not difficult to find young actors with certain skills. Just go to major film and television schools to choose them. They are guaranteed to be young and fresh. However, there is an important villain in the novel, "Old Man Dugu", which clearly states that he "looks like a 13 or 14-year-old child", and his appearance is linked to the plot.

Why can't the hidden villain be found? It's because according to the time, the man is already 70 years old. Who would have thought that he still looks like a teenager?

Such role requirements do not mean that the actors must be between 14 and 16 years old, but that they need to have a face between 14 and 16 years old.

Many child stars came to this audition, but unfortunately few of them can perform naturally "young face and vicissitudes of eyes". This is a contradiction.

There are two who performed better, one is Liu Congwu and the other is a child star named Song Nanbo. The former is 16 years old and the latter is 15 years old.

"I think this kid is very good." The assistant director said first, referring to Liu Congwu: "Although he is a little bit awkward, he will be able to open his mind after some training."

"He is only above average in appearance. I remember that both Dugu Laosou and Laosou in the novel are very handsome young men."

"If his facial features are regular, there is room for plasticity. He can look much better with makeup. I really like his eyes. It seems to be telling a story. I think his eyes are the most colorful. His temperament is also very calm. I vote for him."

But more people, including the director and the original author Suo Yiweng, think that Song Nanbo is more suitable. Director Huo means: "Song Nanbo is more experienced, his performance is more mature, and it will save a lot of time and trouble in the future. Dugu Laosou is an important supporting role, and his role is not light." Song Nanbo is a child star after all. He has been running crews since he was six years old. Now he has almost ten years of acting experience. As a director, he still prefers to choose actors with mature acting skills, so that he can direct more smoothly.

As for the old man in straw raincoat, he simply felt that Song Nanbo's image was more in line with the setting of "handsome young man" in his book. It's not that Liu Congwu was not good-looking, but he lacked a little compared to Song Nanbo.

Once the old man in straw raincoat spoke, the matter was almost settled. In the signed contract, the old man in straw raincoat had a lot of casting rights.

Director Huo smiled and made the decision: "Then let's go with him. Xiao Zhou called him in."

After Song Nanbo and his parents came in, they followed the assistant director to the conference room to sign the contract.

"There's another one, Liu Congwu... Let's see if we can give him another role." Because Dugu Laosou had to choose between the two, Song Nanbo and Liu Congwu were notified not to leave for the time being after their audition. Director Huo was not very satisfied with letting Liu Congwu play the big villain role with a lot of scenes, but he still appreciated him.

The sixteen-year-old boy looked neither arrogant nor impatient, and his temperament was also very calm, with a hint of a scholar.

Suo Yi Weng thought for a while: "Then let him play the role of Xin Lin Lao Sou in his youth. Has this actor been decided?"

The assistant director who just pushed the door in said: "It has been decided."

"Where is the audition video of the person who has been decided? Check it out." Director Huo said, "Go and call Liu Congwu to the next room and let him try the role of Xin Lin Lao Sou in his youth." The assistant director quickly agreed and pushed the door out again.

So Ruihe got another audition opportunity, and soon his audition video was sent to the next room. After comparing, Director Huo nodded and looked at Suo Yi Weng: "Teacher Weng has a good eye. He is indeed more suitable to play Xin Lin in his youth."

The old writer, whose pen name is Suo Yi Weng and whose original name is Weng Ming, laughed: "You always find opportunities to say good things about me."

The conference room was filled with laughter.

Ruihe got the good news, and the assistant director said, "Where are your parents? Let your parents come to sign the contract."

"I'll come alone. I'm already sixteen years old, so I can sign it myself." Ruihe said, "How long is the shooting period? I'm going to be a freshman in high school this summer."

"You came by yourself? Do you live in Beijing?"

Ruihe shook his head: "I came from the southern province. I came here after seeing the news about your audition on the Internet."

"You are such a brave kid. You dare to come to Beijing from the southern province by yourself. You are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. OK, little tiger, come with me to sign the contract." When Ruihe was reading the contract, the assistant director also told him the preliminary plan for the shooting.

He said: "The plan is to start shooting in November and December. You don't have many roles. It will probably be finished in half a month or a week." If they can get together to shoot, it may be finished in three or four days. These are uncertain.

After signing the contract, Ruihe hurried home. After a week of rest, the military training of the county's No. 1 Middle School began. It was said that it would last for more than a week, and they could only bring clothes and toiletries. On August 19, 2006, Ruihe carried his schoolbag and canvas bag and was taken to the No. 1 Middle School by Liu Congbin on a bicycle.

The No. 1 Middle School is not far away. It takes about ten minutes to get there by bicycle. The No. 1 Middle School, which was established fifteen years ago, covers a vast area with old and new buildings interlaced. Ruihe followed the instructions and went to the classroom of Class 19 of the Grade 11 teaching building to wait. He will be a student of Class 19 in the future. I heard that the experimental classes of the first grade are Class 19 and Class 20, and there are a total of 21 classes in Grade 11.

As the first freshman to enter the school, not many people know him. Except for his classmates from the same junior high school, no one else knows him. While waiting in the classroom, four former classmates came to talk to him, two of whom were former classmates.

One said, "Congwu, I didn't expect you to do so well in the exam." Another said, "I heard that you only lost two points in Chinese, that's amazing!"

A middle-aged female teacher came in with a stack of books: "Everyone come and get one, this is a full-subject exercise book, find time to do it."

So before the school started, Ruihe got a finger-thick exercise book, and now he had nothing to do, so he started doing the exercises.

People were walking in and out of the classroom, some students' parents hadn't left yet and were waiting in the corridor, and some familiar students were chatting and whispering.

Soon after, the head teacher came back and said, "Our class has to wait until the afternoon to take the bus to the military training base. Let's all go to the cafeteria for lunch. I'm handing out meal tickets now. You can't order meals. Each person gets one meal."

A student raised his hand: "Teacher, do you want money?"

The head teacher shook his head: "No, it's free. You can get the meal with the ticket. Don't lose it."

"Congwu, let's go eat!"

Ruihe nodded, packed up his things and went to the cafeteria with his classmates for lunch. At about 1:30 in the afternoon, the head teacher came to the classroom and called people: "Bring your things and follow me downstairs."

After nearly an hour, the bus took them to the military training base. The sun was so strong in late August that it made people dizzy.

Ruihe carried his luggage and looked at their instructors solemnly, looking forward to the upcoming military training life.

The hard and fulfilling military training life passed quickly. On August 30th, after the military parade, the military training ended. Ruihe returned home to rest for a day, and on the 31st, he packed his luggage and went to the No. 1 Middle School in the county. The No. 1 Middle School in the county is a boarding school. Unless there are special circumstances and the hospital issues a certificate for poor health, all students have to live in the school.

Living in the school is more comfortable for Ruihe than living in the Liu family, which is too crowded.

High school life began.

Because he was the first freshman to enter the school, Ruihe received a lot of attention in the early days of enrollment. For example, at the freshman class meeting, he had to go up to speak as a representative of the freshmen, and the teachers of each subject would always ask him to stand up and answer questions during class. When running for class cadres, Ruihe didn't want to sign up for the election, but was persuaded by the class teacher to report his name in a few words, and finally got the highest number of votes and was elected as the class monitor.

Helplessly, he had to be the class monitor first.

He would often take leave to attend training courses in the future, and he would definitely not be able to fulfill his duties as a class monitor, which would be bad if he delayed the class.

In this way, high school life kicked off.

The two auditions from south to north last month seemed like just a dream. But in fact, the contract was quietly lying in his storage ring. He hadn't told his family about it yet, and planned to tell them after the filming of the TV series started.

He thought that telling them now would only make Wu Meifang and the others worry in advance, so he might as well do well in his grades first, so that he could persuade her later.
