Chapter 77 What are you doing?
In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the fifth day.
Li Fazeng, Zheng Tianyong, Pan Hong, He Saifei and Li Jianyi were all summoned to the backyard.
Young actors who participated in the re-examination were asked to wait in the living room in the front yard.
All of a sudden, more than half of the rooms on the left and right were empty.
Wu Liping, Wang Hui, Xu Kun and Bao Qiang, the four of them set up a row of stools under the eaves of the east wing, and stared at the ever-changing clouds in the sky.
Wu Liping hunched his neck, put his hands on his sleeves, and said in a farmer's tone: "If it rains, the temperature will probably drop by 7 or 8 degrees."
Don't be fooled by his plain looks. He was already a national first-class actor at the age of 34 [1995]. At the age of 36, he became a director of the China Dramatists Association. He is also a well-known figure in Inner Mongolia.
If he hadn't brought an apprentice this time, he would definitely have been the one summoned to the backyard.
However, it would be his turn to be the 'master' next, as there were horse riding scenes in the play, so Liu Heng decided to take a two-day break after the re-examination, and then Wu Liping would lead the team to the racecourse.
Looking at the flickering lightning in the dark clouds, Baoqiang, who was also rolling up his sleeves and shrinking his neck, asked worriedly: "Teacher Wu, this won't affect our horse riding lessons, right?"
"It's okay. If it doesn't work, we can go to Zhangbei Grassland." Wu Liping said with a smile: "The horses in the horse farm have been worn out by tourists a long time ago. They are not as wild as those on the grassland. You will be able to adapt in a day or two."
"Oh~"
Baoqiang looked expectant, he had wanted to learn horse riding for a long time, but was reluctant to spend the money. Now the crew was offering unified training, which was exactly what he wanted.
Wang Hui didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two, after all, he knew how to ride a horse.
He found Xu Kun's absent-minded look a little strange, so he joked: "Kun'er, why are you so listless this afternoon? Are you afraid of riding a horse?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of when riding a horse."
Xu Kun leaned against the wall and said lazily, "I'm just waiting for a call, and I'm a little upset."
Tomorrow is the 12th, and logically, Uncle Ge should have called. Don't just say it casually and forget about it later, right?
Wang Hui saw that Xu Kun had no intention of elaborating, so he changed the subject and asked, "Who do you think will win, Wang Ling or Xiao Huo?"
There is basically no suspense about Tong Layue and Hua Huazi, and Fulin is even more certain, so the only candidate that can be discussed is Wu Yunzhu.
"It should be Huo Siyan."
Xu Kun stroked his chin and said, "Wang Ling is actually not bad, but it's a pity..."
At first, Xu Kun thought Wang Ling had a great advantage, but later he found that she was not very sociable, so he felt that he might need to fight for Wu Yunzhu.
It was not until recently that he realized that no matter how sociable Wang Ling was, or even more adept at networking than himself, it was unlikely that she would get the role of Wu Yunzhu.
Although Liu Heng did not say it explicitly, the imaginary opponent of "The Young Emperor" is obviously "The Emperor of Han Dynasty". Precisely because of this comparison, it would be inappropriate to let "Wei Zifu" play "Wu Yunzhu".
Otherwise, someone would definitely come out and say that "The Young Emperor" is riding on the popularity of "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" - in fact, according to Liu Heng's idea, he wanted to name this drama "Young Fulin", but unfortunately the investors refused to agree no matter what.
Perhaps it is because Wang Ling realized this and was unwilling to give up the opportunity to join the group that her attitude became so negative.
Just as I was thinking about this and that, a stagehand came around the moon gate to the main hall and said loudly, "Deng Chao, Director Liu wants you to come over."
Deng Chao responded and followed the man to the backyard with full confidence.
About ten minutes later, he trotted back to the front yard. He did not go to the main hall, but ran directly to Xu Kun and ordered casually, "Xiao Wuzi, bring me a stool."
From the tone of voice, I knew that things were settled.
"嗻~"
Baoqiang agreed in a humorous way and got up to go into the house to get a stool.
Deng Chao didn't wait for Baoqiang to come back, but took his seat and raised his hand to make an OK gesture to Xu Kun.
Although Xu Kun was happy for him, he couldn't stand him showing off, so he pouted and said, "It's a done deal, there's nothing to brag about."
Deng Chao pursed his lips and shook his head, then waved the OK towards Xu Kun a few times. "What's wrong? Do you have Parkinson's disease?"
Xu Kun had actually guessed that this guy meant 3,000 per episode, and 40 episodes meant 120,000 before tax.
Although he failed to catch up with Huang Xiaoming, this is the salary that many young actors dream of. No wonder his face was so rosy, as if he had secretly eaten a ginseng fruit.
With Wu Liping and Wang Hui nearby, Deng Chao felt embarrassed to show off so he could only retract his chicken claws in disappointment and prepare to shock Xu Kun and Bao Qiang again in the evening.
At this time, the stage manager called Huo Siyan over again.
Next is Yang Rong.
When Cui Bo walked out of the living room with joy on his face, he did not rush to the backyard, but subconsciously stared at this side for a while.
Although there were a lot of people sitting under the eaves, she was obviously looking for Xu Kun.
What is this for?
Want to be merciful to yourself?
At most, Xu Kun coveted the two pencils, but he had no feelings for Cui Bo as a person, and didn't want to have a boyfriend or girlfriend relationship.
In fact, it is a good idea to agree to it at this time, take advantage of it, and then break up on the grounds that the two of you are not suitable for each other.
But Xu is not that bad yet. He prefers equal transactions based on mutual consent rather than deception and deception - the reason why he has no feelings for Cui Bo is because Cui Bo tried to trick him as a sucker.
It seems I have no choice but to refuse.
It's a pity about those two pencils.
The first four were very happy, but when it was Wang Ling and Chen Jie's turn, the atmosphere took a sharp turn for the worse. They were flustered when they left, and were not allowed to enter when they came back.
However, Li Donghan and Wu Chao had already been mentally prepared. One of them got Boguer and the other got Chang Adai. Although they were not the male protagonists, they still had quite a few roles.
So after coming back, he talked and laughed, and at least on the surface there was no rift between him and Deng Chao.
Next came the main actors who had already been confirmed, such as Xu Kun.
There is indeed a world of difference between the protagonist and the supporting actor. Xu Kun received 12,000 yuan and Bao Qiang received 17,000 yuan. Judging from the average price alone, Xu Kun received higher salary than Bao Qiang, but Da La Wu had more scenes, so his total salary was higher than Xu Kun's.
Although it was five thousand less than expected, Baoqiang still couldn't stop smiling.
Deng Chao was even more exaggerated. He wanted to walk sideways after coming out of the courtyard, and shouted that he would take a taxi to Donglaishun to eat lamb ribs, and he would not return until he was drunk at night.
However, Xu Kun had to pay for the dinner first, after all, he had not received the 120,000 yuan yet.
Xu Kun ignored Deng Chao.
Xu Kun has to keep an appointment with Mr. Ge tomorrow, and he doesn't want to leave a bad impression on him.
Walking to the intersection with the two 'Fan Jin', Xu Kun once again ignored Deng Chao's calls for a taxi and walked directly to the nearby bus stop.
Didi~didi!
At this moment, a Passat parked on the side of the road suddenly honked, and then the window slowly lowered, revealing a face mostly covered by sunglasses, and a pair of fiery red lips that were even more arrogant than Deng Chao's.
Xu Kun recognized the person at a glance. After all, he had more say in the depth, width and narrowness of this mouth than the owner of this mouth.
The big-mouthed elk hooked his finger coolly and said, "Get in the car~"
Before Xu Kun responded, someone in the back row started to get anxious: "Wait a minute, what are you doing?!"
If Xu Kun hadn't heard that the person who spoke was a girl, he would have almost thought that Li Chen was lying under the car.
