Chapter 198 The little actor in the small county town
Sun Dong was quite satisfied with his trip to the Magic City.
Although there is no direct cooperation with Han Xiao, at least Han Xiao has the intention to join Penguin.
only.
After Sun Dong returned to Penguin, he did not receive a reply from Han Xiao that day.
He didn't take it to heart and planned to wait.
After waiting for three days in a row, Han Xiao didn't reply to his message.
Sun Dong couldn't help it.
He took the initiative to contact Han Xiao with prestige: "Han Xiao, how are you considering it?"
Send it over.
Show that you have been blocked.
Sun Dong's face immediately turned black, just like his prestige.
Call again.
My phone number has also been blocked...
Mahler Gobi!
Sun Dong couldn't bear it anymore, the fire in his heart suddenly rose, he grabbed his phone and threw it to the ground.
The phone fell apart.
call!
Sun Dong exhaled heavily.
I, the director of the Penguin Artist Department, was actually fooled by a newcomer in the entertainment industry!
This is simply unreasonable!
How could he not understand that Han Xiao was teasing him at this time?
Block!
Must be blocked!
Sun Dong has already decided in his heart that he will ban Han Xiao in all aspects. From now on, this artist will never want to appear on any Penguin platform!
Is Han Xiao afraid of being banned by Penguin?
He's really not afraid.
It can be said that no artist on Qingcheng is afraid of being banned by Penguin.
...
The first season of "The Masked Singer" ended in June.
Although there is still more than half a year until the Spring Festival Gala.
But as the chief director, Xu Zhou has to prepare for this year's Spring Festival Gala.
He is leaving for the capital.
He is not alone.
It was not Luo Xi who accompanied Xu Zhou to the capital, but He Shuyi went with him.
Xu Zhou is the chief director, and Xu Zhou asked He Shu to also serve as the deputy director and his assistant.
Su Luoxi is going to Chongqing to participate in the filming of a TV series.
The main investor of this TV series is not Qingcheng, but the director of this TV series is familiar with Su Luoxi and asked Su Luoxi to play the second female lead. Su Luoxi could not shirk it. After all, this was considered a favor to a friend.
So during this trip to the capital, there were only Xu Zhou and He Shuyi.
The two of them set out from the Magic City and did not go directly to the capital. Instead, they went to Shencheng.
This time I went to Shencheng.
Xu Zhou wanted to take someone to the Spring Festival Gala.
On the plane.
He Shu also sat with Xu Zhou.
"Director Xu, why don't we go directly to the capital? What are we going to do in Shencheng?"
He Shu was also quite curious about the flight arranged by Xu Zhou.
Shouldn't the two of them fly directly to the capital?
But Xu Zhou had to take himself to Shencheng, which was more than 600 kilometers away from the capital.
Xu Zhou wore sunglasses on his head and leaned on the seat. Hearing He Shuyi ask himself, he asked back: "Director He, what do you think the audience likes to watch most on the Spring Festival Gala stage?"
He Shu also said without hesitation: "It must be a language program. Even I like to watch language programs, especially sketches."
Xu Zhou said: "That's it. This time we go to Shencheng just to bring a comedy talent to the Spring Festival Gala stage."
He Shu also said: "Are you talking about Pan Cong? But he is already over sixty. There is nothing new in the programs in the past two years, and on the Internet, netizens don't have a good opinion of him. This person is a bit dependent on his old age, and he is still on the Internet.
Selling fake wine.”
It's really a coincidence.
There was a Panzi in the original time and space, and there is a Panzi in this time and space.
Xu Zhou shook his head and said: "Instead of looking for him, I went to the county to find a young actor. He is not very popular, but there are several videos of him on the Internet. I feel that this actor may have the opportunity to become a first-class comedy in our country in the future.
actor."
Oops!
He Shu was also surprised.
Director Xu has a very high opinion of this person!
...
Kang County.
An ordinary county town below Shencheng.
Link is a comedian at the Cannes Laughter Theater. He is only 24 years old. By performing in the theater, he can receive a monthly salary of about 4,000 yuan.
In this small county, more than four thousand dollars is enough to support oneself.
But if you have one more girlfriend, four thousand yuan may not be enough.
But Link is very confident about his future life.
He feels that his girlfriend is not a money-worshiping girl.
As long as you give him time, he will definitely break into his own world in the field of comedy!
When he becomes Daxia's comedy master, he must give his girlfriend the grandest wedding!
His partner Zhou Mengyue said that he, Link, has the most comedy talent in Daxia, but he has not been discovered yet.
Theater backstage.
The two of them are putting on makeup.
In an hour, a comedy will be performed on the stage.
Regardless of time and space, the Northeast region has really nurtured many comedy talents.
In the original time and space, not to mention the famous Zhao family, including Gong Han, Lin Fan Wei before, and Shen Teng after that, they were all born in the Northeast.
Oh, and Pan Zi.
At that time, Shencheng TV station also created a comedy program - Laughter Conference Room.
Later, a large number of comedians emerged in this conference room, including Qiao Shan Xiurui, Da Pan, Zhang Zidong, Zhang Yiming, etc.
Zhang Yiming may be unfamiliar to many people.
But some of the movie roles he plays are familiar to many people.
He and Shen Teng starred in "The Richest Tomato" together, playing the role of Zhuang Qiang.
Well, the comedians in the Aixia Conference Room are basically all natives of the Northeast, and they have a very strong sense of comedy.
When the Aixiao Conference Room became popular, there was no incident about Song Xiaobao, Song Xiaofeng and Northeast F4. It was only later that these disciples of the Zhao Family Class became popular.
First, Xiao Shenyang became famous all over the country because of the sketch "Not Short of Money", and then Song Xiaobao became famous because of Haiyan!
As for Happy Mahua, which later became even more popular, although it was registered in Beijing, the contracted actors included Allen from Beijing, Chang Yuan from Jincheng, and Wei Xiang from Sichuan Province, but the faces of Mahua, Shen Teng and Ma Li, are both from the Northeast.
.
More importantly, Yan Fei and Peng Damo, the main directors of Mahua, are both from the Northeast.
"Charlotte", which created a box office miracle, was directed by these two people.
That is to say, the director and starring actors of this phenomenal movie are all from Nagada in Northeast China.
The soil and water nurture a person, and Northeasterners are really good at being funny.
For Daxia, audiences in the south and the north have different tastes in comedy.
Audiences in the north prefer to watch cross talk sketches, where the actor shakes off a burden and everyone can laugh.
This is also the reason why comedians such as Zhao Benshan and Guo Degang are more popular in the north.
If you cross the Yangtze River, especially in the Lingnan area, Zhao Benshan, Guo Degang and others will not be particularly cold.
Southern audiences prefer more delicate performances.
For example, the burlesque in Magic City.
However, this form of performance is inevitably more niche.
Just like burlesque can only be enjoyed in Shanghai, if you leave Shanghai, audiences in other places will not be interested in burlesque at all.
But having said that, if the content of skit cross talk is really good, audiences will like it regardless of whether it is in the South or the North.
In the final analysis, it still depends on the content of the program!
At this time, Xu Zhou and He Shuyi sat in the theater where they were laughing and watching the performance.
In the first performance, Link and Zhou Mengyue did not go on stage.
Backstage.
Link sent a message to his girlfriend.
"Xiao Leng, the performance is about to start, are you here?"
After the message was sent, Link put the phone aside.
I have been waiting for him to go on stage, but he has not received a reply from his girlfriend.
Link came on stage with some mixed emotions.
But the moment he stepped on the stage, he forgot all his worries and only had the stage under his feet in his mind.
He plays a somewhat cheap blind man.
His occupation is street fortune telling.
Zhou Mengyue plays the wife of a foreign official who comes to tell fortunes.
Some ridiculous things will happen between the two.
He Shuyi and Xu Zhou sat in the last row of the auditorium, watching the performance on stage quietly.
The audience at the scene was not particularly large. It seemed that there were only more than a hundred people at most. It was so sparse that the auditorium could not be filled at all.
The two of them were sitting in the back, so they couldn't attract anyone else's attention at all.
The actors on the stage, not to mention the big shots in the entertainment industry, were watching their performance.
Link's performance is quite funny.
However, many of the audience's minds were not on the stage, and many of them were playing with their mobile phones with their heads down.
Only a few people were watching the show seriously.
So when Link and Zhou Mengyue finished their performance and bowed to the audience, although there was applause, it was not enthusiastic.
Xu Zhou applauded and said to He Shuyi: "What do you think of this actor's performance?"
Looking at Link who was taking his last breaths on the stage, He Shu couldn't help but praise: "He is indeed very talented in comedy. Although the performance just now was just a short play, it was very exciting. He was very open-minded."
He Shuyi was very curious and said to Xu Zhou: "Where did you know about actors from such a small place?"
Xu Zhou explained: "I happened to see him online and felt that he is very suitable for comedy. I happened to have a good sketch script in hand and planned to let him star."
...
Link stood on the stage, his eyes always on the audience.
He didn't notice his girlfriend's presence.
My heart darkened, and an unconcealable sense of loss surged into my heart.
My girlfriend did not come to see my performance.
After the show ended, Link and his partner Zhou Mengyue returned to the scene.
Remove makeup and pack things.
Link picked up his phone and took another look. There was still no message from his girlfriend on his phone.
When I am melancholy.
Suddenly a staff member came backstage carrying a beautiful flower basket.
Link thought that the flower basket was given to Zhou Mengyue by an audience, so he smiled and said: "Okay, Meng Yue, there are audience members who have sent you flower baskets, but the flower baskets are a bit tacky, so it would be better to just send flowers directly."
The two have been working together for many years and have a very good relationship.
Zhou Mengyue had made a joke to Link before, saying that if Link was single, she would pursue him.
But Link just smiled at that time.
After hearing what Link said, the staff member smiled and said, "Link, you guessed wrong. This flower basket is not for Meng Yue, but for you."
Link was a little surprised.
After performing in this theater for many years, I have never received a gift.
Someone actually sent me a flower basket today. Could it be my girlfriend?
He hurriedly asked: "Who sent this flower basket?"
The staff member said: "I don't know either. The person who sent the flower basket said he was a handsome guy. There is a card on the flower basket. You can take a look."
Link joked: "Is it possible that there is someone more handsome than me in Kang County?"
He smiled and took the card into his hand, unfolded it and saw the signature on it. Link's calm face could no longer remain calm and showed an incredible expression.
Seeing her partner's expression, Zhou Mengyue couldn't help but look at the card curiously. When she saw the name on the card, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and even subconsciously covered her mouth.
After a while.
Zhou Mengyue was extremely surprised and said: "Link, how come you still know Xu Zhouxu, a big star?"
Link was a little absent-minded. He looked at the card in his hand and said in disbelief: "I have so many friends, but none of them are named Xu Zhou. I do know the famous star Xu Zhou, but they don't know me! Is this possible?
Could someone be playing a prank?"
On this card, Xu Zhou actually asked him to meet at a four-star hotel in Kang County, and also said that he would treat him to dinner.
No matter how he looked at it or thought about it, Link felt that it was a bit fanciful.
I have great ideals, but now I am just a grassroots, an out-and-out little person.
Xu Zhou, who was well known to everyone in Daxia, suddenly wanted to treat him to a meal. How could Link not murmur in his heart?
At a certain moment, he suspected that he had offended someone, and that someone was deliberately setting a trap to harm him.
However, when I thought that I was keeping to myself and had not sinned against anyone, this thought passed away in a flash.
Could it be that the person who sent me the flower basket was really Xu Zhou?
But how did Xu Zhou know about him, why did he come to Kang County to watch his performance, and why did he treat him to dinner?
Link had literally a hundred thousand reasons in his mind, and he couldn't figure it out.
Zhou Mengyue said with twinkling eyes from the side: "Link, Xu Zhou won't fall in love with you, right?"
Link was shocked and said quickly: "Meng Yue, don't talk nonsense, Xu Zhou is not that kind of person, and I am not that kind of person."
Zhou Mengyue said with a smile: "Where did you think of it? When I said Xu Zhou fell in love with you, it wasn't because of your acting skills. He wanted you to participate in his TV series or movies?"
Link nodded, seemingly confused, and said: "Although I am a well-known comedian in Kang County, Xu Zhou wouldn't know me. Could it be that my reputation is already well known in the entertainment industry, and even Director Xu Zhou and Xu have been
Are you impressed by my acting skills?"
Zhou Mengyue was already used to Link's way of speaking and knew he was joking.
So she followed Link's words and jokingly said: "Maybe it's like this. You, the pheasant from Kang County, may very well turn into a phoenix!"
Link subconsciously replied: "You are the wild one..."
Zhou Mengyue raised his fist.
Link quickly stopped talking and said: "Meng Yue, if Xu Zhou really invites me to dinner, how about you go with me?"
Zhou Mengyue shook her head and said: "I won't go. Xu Zhou only invited you alone. It's not good for me to go. But if you become popular in the future, just don't forget my old partner."
Link smiled and said: "How could it be? If I forget, no one will forget you."
Later.
Link carefully put the card away, with a serious face, and said: "A four-star hotel, the only high-end hotel in Kang County, what do you think I should do when I go there, so that I can act like someone who frequents this kind of place?
?”
Zhou Mengyue pointed to a suit in the dressing room and said, "How about you wear that feather suit to the banquet?"
Link shook his head and said: "Forget it, I went to the banquet wearing a chicken feather costume. Director Xu didn't think I was pretending to be a chicken feather?"
Link went to the banquet in casual clothes.
After entering the hotel, he was very calm at first, but under the guidance of the service staff, he came to the single room where Xu Zhou was staying and saw Xu Zhou with his own eyes. Link, who claims to be well-informed and has a big heart, was still unavoidable.
Somewhat nervous.
This is Xu Zhou!
How many people’s idols!
If he hadn't been so bad at singing, he would have wanted to participate in The Voice!
So as soon as he entered the private room, Link's mind went blank. He stood there and stared at Xu Zhou, not knowing what to say.
Xu Zhou took the initiative and said to him: "Hello, I am Xu Zhou."
When Xu Zhouyi opened his mouth, he acted like a big boss.
In ordinary eyes, Xu Zhou is now a big shot in the entertainment industry.
Until Xu Zhou shook hands with him, Link was still a little stunned.
He didn't even know how he sat down.
After the waiter brought some exquisite dishes and poured drinks into the cup in front of him, Link finally regained consciousness.
Although Xu Zhou looks very peaceful, he has already possessed a strong aura after so many years in the entertainment industry. Link is now a little transparent, so when he meets Xu Zhou for the first time, he will inevitably feel confused.
Especially when Xu Zhou said to him: "Link, I think you have a great talent for comedy. Are you interested in participating in this year's Spring Festival Gala?"
Attending the Spring Festival Gala?
When Link heard the news, his brain immediately shut down and short-circuited!
Xu Zhou actually wants to take him to the Spring Festival Gala?!
Did you hear it correctly?
He looked at Xu Zhou in disbelief and asked in a difficult tone: "Director Xu, I...can I go to the Spring Festival Gala?"
Xu Zhou nodded and said: "Of course, I am the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala. I have a sketch book here that I want you to take charge of."
Although CCTV has not officially announced the general director of the Spring Festival Gala.
But Link was not surprised at all when he heard that Xu Zhou was the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala.
In his opinion, it is normal for Xu Zhou to become the general director of the Spring Festival Gala.
The unusual thing was that Xu Zhou invited himself to the Spring Festival Gala.
Link thought for a while, he hadn't stepped on dog poop recently when he went out. How could he be so lucky that something like this happened to him?
There is nothing to hesitate about.
He controlled his inner excitement and said: "Director Xu, I am willing, I am willing to participate in the Spring Festival Gala!"
Compared with the stage in Kang County, the Spring Festival Gala is very different.
Link is not a pretentious person, he naturally knows how to choose.
After getting excited, he tentatively asked Xu Zhou: "Director Xu, can I ask how many actors are in this sketch book?"
Xu Zhou said: "There are several actors, but there are only two main actors, one male and one female. You are one of the leading actors."
Link hesitated for a few seconds and then said to Xu Zhou: "Director Xu, I have a heartfelt request. I have a partner who is better at acting than me and funnier than me. Can she be the heroine of this sketch?
