Chapter 71: Mother and Father
After telling Zhang Yong what he saw and heard when he went to the Ge family and his suspicions, Xu Kun stopped paying attention to the matter for the time being.
Anyway, he has done everything he can, and what he says about the follow-up has no say - and since Ge You invited him to make a guest appearance in the crew, this trip was not in vain for him.
Turn around.
Xu Kun, Deng Chao and Bao Qiang each took their luggage and rushed to Nanluoguxiang.
Unlike the initial audition, all the main actors have to temporarily live in the courtyard during the re-examination. In addition to assisting the crew in determining a few leading actors, it is also to cultivate tacit understanding in advance so that everyone can better get into the role.
In order to ensure that Baoqiang could audition smoothly, Xu Kun arrived half an hour early.
However, when I got there, there were already a few people there, such as the famous Mongolian actor Wu Liping, Teacher Pan Hong who played the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and two little girls who were huddled in a corner and whispering to each other.
Xu Kun vaguely recognized that these were two of Wu Yunzhu's three candidates, both of whom looked quiet and well-behaved. He also didn't know who was Li Xiaolu's "good sister" Huo Siyan.
After greeting Pan Hong and Wu Liping, Xu Kun was about to take Bao Qiang to find the director when he saw Deng Chao bowing deeply to Pan Hong: "Your son greets you, mother."
Pan Hong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Kun beside him and asked hesitantly, "Has Fulin decided yet?"
"It hasn't been decided yet."
Deng Chao rushed to answer, and then smiled and said, "But at least during these five days, I am Fulin, your son - I want to make you happy."
He used a completely different tone and accent for the last few words, and these were the important lines that Fulin repeated repeatedly in the play when he agreed to get married.
"This kid."
Pan Hong couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, and it was obvious that he had a good impression of Deng Chao.
The two girls over there were even more shocked. They had also thought about chatting up the old senior, but no one dared to step forward because of the constant pushing and shoving.
This guy will most likely be able to make it in the future!
Xu Kun gave Baoqiang a look, indicating that he should learn something, and then took him to the backyard to find director Liu Heng.
Director Liu Heng was eating and thinking about the script. When he saw Xu Kun coming in, he said, "It seems a bit inappropriate to compare your image to Zhou Yu."
"Then how about changing it to Ma Chao?"
Xu Kun actually had some thoughts about this drama, and he said immediately: "In history, Ma Chao was also a suspicious, arrogant, and cruel person. I feel that he should be more in line with Ji Du's character than Zhou Yu."
"Ma Chao? Yeah, not bad."
Director Liu Heng made a few strokes on the script before turning his gaze to Wang Baoqiang standing next to Xu Kun: "Is this the Baoqiang you mentioned? His appearance does fit the character..."
Wang Baoqiang smiled innocently and let him look at him for about two seconds. Suddenly, as if he had figured something out, he took two steps forward and tentatively called out, "Dad?"
Ok? !
If Xu Kun didn't know that Baoqiang's father was still working hard in his hometown, he would have thought that a bloody ethical drama was about to unfold before his eyes.
Director Liu Heng was obviously confused as well. His first impression of Baoqiang was quite good. He really fits the character of Da La Wu, who looks honest and kind at first glance, but he seems to lack that bit of cleverness.
Who would have thought that just as I was thinking of this, Baoqiang would come here and do this.
"you……"
Director Liu Heng was just about to ask what Bao Qiang meant by "Dad" when he saw Bao Qiang's face light up with joy. He fell to his knees with a plop, looked up at Liu Heng and said in a loud voice, "Dad!"
At this moment, Xu Kun immediately understood that this was the scene in the play where Wu Liangfu defended Da La Wu who stole rotten fruits and gave a lesson to the eunuchs.
At that time, Da La Wu called out "Manager Wu", and Wu Liangfu asked back unhappily: "What did you call me?"
Da La Wu tried to call out again: "Manager Wu." Wu Liangfu was even more unhappy: "I took so much effort to get you out, what are you calling me?"
Da La Wu was completely confused, but couldn't think of any other name to address him, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Manager Wu?"
Wu Liangfu frowned and raised his orchid finger and said, "I'm telling you, when we leave this door, you call me Wu Zongguan and I won't argue with you. But when we enter this door, what do you call me?"
Da La Wu finally came to his senses and tentatively called out, "Dad?"
Only then did Wu Liangfu laugh.
Then Da La Wu knelt down and called out again, "Daddy!"
Baoqiang was learning and applying what he had learned during the Deng Dynasty on Liu Heng.
Although Xu Kun had just asked him to learn a little, he didn't expect that he would learn so well... uh, surpass his teacher.
Liu Heng also understood at this time, and laughed at Xu Kun: "This kid is not stupid!"
This is exactly what Wu Liangfu said after Da La Wu called him "daddy".
Baoqiang quickly climbed up the pole and shouted excitedly, "Daddy!"
No wonder this guy was able to make it big later on.
"OK OK."
Liu Heng hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile: "You scared me just now."
Xu Kun reached out and grabbed Baoqiang's head, and echoed: "Don't mention you, I was also shocked - he can be said to be learning and applying it at the same time."
Then, he briefly repeated to Liu Heng what happened when Deng Chao paid a visit to his mother outside - this was to avoid Liu Heng misunderstanding that he had taught Baoqiang this trick in advance.
"He was able to apply what he learned in a short time. This shows that he is very smart. Not bad, really good." Liu Heng praised him repeatedly, and then said to Xu Kun, "Take him to find assistant director Ling Lawu's script first. I will find teacher Li Jianyi to study it carefully later."
This means you have passed the initial test.
Xu Kun was not surprised at this at all, because the role of Da La Wu was really suitable for Bao Qiang, who is simple-minded but talented.
On the way to find the assistant director with Baoqiang, Xu Kun said with a smile: "You are really good. You just came to the crew and you recognized the director as your godfather. It seems that I will have to cling to you in the future."
Bao Qiang scratched his head and laughed: "Brother Kun, please stop laughing at me. I am just copying..."
"Kun'er, Baoqiang!"
At this time, Deng Chao jumped out from somewhere, holding two grapes like offering treasures: "Try it, try it, these are planted by Director Liu himself, they are good things with a touch of culture!"
Last night, he learned from Baoqiang that Xu Kun was born in 80, one year younger than himself. He felt fooled and immediately changed "Kun Ge" to "Kun Er".
Haha~
Xu Kun slapped Baoqiang's outstretched hand away and asked, "Why don't you take this opportunity to ask Teacher Pan for more advice? Aren't you determined to win Fulin?"
Deng Chao saw that Xu Kun was not fooled, and a look of disappointment flashed across his face. He then tossed the two grapes between his left and right hands, and said with a grin, "Prince Jian, are you confused? I am Fulin, Aisin-Gioro Fulin."
At first Xu Kun thought he was just playing the same old joke, and just when he was about to say something yin and yang, he suddenly stopped, thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "It does have that flavor."
Fulin in the play has such an eccentric personality, who is both close to and distant from his mother - the most important thing is that Deng Chao clearly performed the role of a teenager. I dare not say that it is lifelike, but at least it is much better than the initial audition three days ago.
Deng Chao was very satisfied with Xu Kun's evaluation. He laughed a few times and continued to toss the grapes like a juggler, saying, "I can't fail to sell these grapes. I'll go see if there are any new ones."
Watching him return to the front yard, Xu Kun took a deep breath and then placed one hand on his lower abdomen. His originally relaxed and careless state suddenly became more dignified and solemn.
Isn't it just a roll?
As if no one can!
