Chapter 95: I treat you as a brother, and you treat me as an injustice?
Lin Yuan believed in Brother Chao unconditionally.
The main reason is that the other party has no reason to cheat you.
Basically after hanging up the phone, the contract and script were sent to Ning Luoxia not long after.
Ning Luoxia first read the script for a while, and then read the contract.
When she saw that it was sent from Deng Chao Studio, she was a little confused and quickly called Lin Yuan.
"Lin Yuan? Do you know Deng Chao?"
"Well, I'm an older brother when I was a kid." Lin Yuan answered truthfully without making any connections.
"Why didn't you tell me about this relationship before?" After confirming that the two people were related, Ning Luoxia couldn't help but curiously asked. If others had such a relationship, they would want to squat in front of other people's homes every day. How could they be like Lin
Far from it.
"If it sounds good, I just want to rely on myself. If it sounds bad, it's useless even if I ask someone else." Lin Yuan answered lightly.
"That's right." After hearing the explanation, Ning Luoxia felt that the other party was right.
When you have the ability, you go to the other party, and everyone joins forces. When you don't have the ability, you go to the other party. You don't know whether it will be popular or not, but it will definitely be embarrassing.
Without thinking too much, Ning Luoxia asked again.
"Then are you sure about acting in this play? If you are sure, I will submit it to the company."
"No problem, I will definitely act in Brother Chao's role."
"Are you sure?" Ning Luoxia asked again.
"Are you sure? What's wrong, Sister Xia?" Lin Yuan didn't know why the other party had to emphasize it again and again.
"Okay, I'll sign it for you." Seeing that Lin Yuan was determined to play this role, Ning Luoxia, who mistakenly thought that the other party had read the script, didn't say much, replied, turned around, and went to contact the company.
In less than half an hour, the contract was signed and the play was finalized.
After it was settled, the staff responsible for the script couldn't help but look at Ning Luoxia in surprise.
"Sister Xia, are your artists so awesome? Do you even accept such roles?"
"I don't know, I guess I want to challenge him." Ning Luoxia naturally knew what the other party was saying, and shrugged nonchalantly.
It turns out that this script is called "Passing Through Your World", and the character played by Lin Yuan is a man nicknamed Pig Head. This character can only be described in two words in the play.
"Lick the dog!"
If I had to add one word to highlight the image of this character, it would be "a dog-licker."
Most actors don't like to take on dog-licking scenes, mainly because there's nothing outstanding about such roles, and they're easy to be laughed at by the audience. After all, most viewers hate dog-licking characters.
"It's amazing. Your artists are dedicated to their work." The manager quickly praised Ning Luoxia after hearing this reason.
After finishing these things, Ning Luoxia also called it a day and went home.
But at this moment, Lin Yuan was holding the script of "One Man's Martial Arts" and fell into studying again.
It’s the morning of May 15th, 2014.
Lin Yuan took the company's commercial vehicle and went straight to the airport. This time he was going to Hong Kong. The shooting location of "One Man's Martial Arts" was in Hong Kong, not in the mainland.
When he landed in Xiangjiang, it was already noon. He was not in a hurry to eat. Lin Yuan went to the hospital first.
Brother Zou's leg injury has not healed yet and he is still in the hospital. He did not visit him before because he was in the mainland. Now that he has come to Xiangjiang, he will definitely visit him as soon as possible.
After buying some fruit and bringing a red envelope, he came to the hospital alone.
"Oh, even if I said I didn't want to come, you still had to come."
Brother Zou, who was doing rehabilitation training in the room, found out that Lin Yuan had arrived. He immediately spoke, but his brows were full of joy.
He said he didn't want to come, but in fact he wanted Lin Yuan to come.
When the other party comes, it proves that they take you seriously, rather than just treating you like a tool and leaving after using them.
"Brother Zou, if I didn't come, wouldn't I become an ungrateful white-eyed wolf? Without you, I would still be an extra in Hengdian." Lin Yuan listened to Brother Zou's words and quickly became serious.
"Okay, okay, okay, you have your heart." Brother Zou was already very happy to hear Lin Yuan say this.
The two people soon sat together and chatted.
After chatting for more than an hour, Brother Zou also asked Lin Yuan to rest early, but before leaving, Lin Yuan secretly stuffed a red envelope worth tens of thousands of dollars under his pillow.
He doesn't know what the rules are here in Xiangjiang, but the rule here is that you must give a red envelope when visiting others. This is a metaphor, which means that the other person will get better soon.
After saying goodbye, Lin Yuan just took a taxi and left when he received a call from Brother Zou.
His tone was not angry, but polite: "What's wrong with you kid? Come on, why are you giving me the red envelope?"
"Brother Zou, I don't know what you like to eat, so just take the money and buy something." Lin Yuan replied with a smile.
"Where are you? Have you left? If you haven't left, take the money back to me. We brothers don't do this kind of nonsense." Brother Zou quickly declined after hearing this.
"I left a long time ago. Brother Zou, I'm going to rest first. I've been traveling all day and have an audition tomorrow."
"Hey, don't do this next time, you make it very awkward." Brother Zou knew what the other party was thinking and replied with a wry smile, which was regarded as accepting the red envelope.
"Is there a next time? It doesn't exist. I will live in peace for the rest of my life."
"You're really good at talking." Brother Zou didn't expect Lin Yuan to speak so nicely, and he started laughing immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan did not choose to go to the hotel to sleep, but planned to take a stroll around the bustling city of Xiangjiang.
After a night of shopping, Lin Yuan had enough to eat, drink and have fun. After returning to the hotel, he took a shower and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, he went directly to the crew of "One Man's Martial Arts". After saying hello, after arriving at the audition hotel, he followed the staff to the audition location.
Under the guidance, he walked into an audition room, where Director Chen Desheng, other directors and action directors were already sitting here.
Looking at Lin Yuan, Chen Desheng became curious: "Are you the actor introduced by Aaron?"
Lin Yuan nodded and introduced himself: "Hmm, hello, Director Chen. My name is Lin Yuan, and I am a contracted actor of Xitian Media."
As a new entertainment company, Xitian is not well-known, especially to people in Xiangjiang, who are even less familiar with it.
Fortunately, there was a person on the side who searched for company information, and then whispered into director Chen Desheng's ear: "A company owned by Enlight Media."
The weight of the four words "Guangguang Media" is much greater than that of Xitian Media.
When Chen Desheng heard that it was this company, he would not be too harsh even if he looked at the face of the Buddha.
But at first glance, he was not satisfied with Lin Yuan.
First, Lin Yuan is too young. For such a young actor, it’s okay to film in idol dramas. Fighting scenes like his are not suitable for him at all. In his opinion, Lin Yuan does not have any martial arts ability.
Second, Lin Yuan is not famous. The male lead in his movie is Mr. Donnie Yen, so how about the second male lead also needs to be famous? I don’t ask you to be extremely popular, but I ask you to have a basic popularity, right?
As for the wrinkled dragon, he is more suitable.
For these two reasons, he actually had a rejection label for Lin Yuan in his heart.
The main reason for asking Lin Yuan to come over for the audition was to give Wrinkly Dragon face. They had already highly recommended it. If you refused directly on the phone, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
Therefore, he did not refuse on the spot, but he did not expect that the other party would really come.
"you??"
"Why do you look so familiar to me?"
Just when Chen Desheng was ready to refuse, a martial arts instructor on the side suddenly pointed at Lin Yuan and spoke.
"Hello, teacher." Lin Yuan guessed that the other party might have recognized that he had played the role of Ding Xiu, but he did not take the initiative to admit it.
"Let me ask you, have you filmed any martial arts movies recently?" the martial arts teacher asked again.
"Yes, teacher, a movie "Xiu Chun Knife" was released recently." This time he did not hide it, but told the truth.
"Oh, why do you look so familiar to me? It turns out you are the guy who adds money." After hearing this, the martial arts teacher suddenly realized.
"Brother Jia Qian?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Lao Zhou, do you know him?"
"Is he famous?"
Listening to the martial arts teacher's words, everyone became curious. They didn't know this actor named Lin Yuan.
"Know? More than just acquaintance, you are busy casting every day these days, and you have no time to surf the Internet at all. Do you know how popular he is on the Internet now? He is ridiculously popular, so popular that even some big-name celebrities are
It’s not as popular as him alone.”
The words are not shocking, but the fight will last forever. When the martial arts teacher said this, everyone instantly became curious.
Even director Chen Desheng also asked: "Is it that exaggerated?"
"Exaggeration, let's take a look." The martial arts teacher didn't explain too much, picked up the phone and clicked on Weibo.
When searching for hot words such as Jia Qian Jushi and Jia Qian Ge, the popularity figure of 67.46 million immediately surprised everyone present.
Before he was done, the martial arts teacher browsed through several mainstream media, and the popularity data about him were still very scary.
The total popularity of the entire network directly exceeds 100 million. Of course, this popularity of over 100 million does not mean that 100 million people know him, but it includes all data, such as likes, comments, reposts, views, etc.
But despite this, this data is still very scary.
After seeing his popularity, Director Chen Desheng immediately put aside his previous contempt, and couldn't help but groan in his heart.
"Fortunately, someone recognized me, otherwise it would have been embarrassing."
However, although Lin Yuan has achieved his ideal in terms of fame, it is an action movie after all, and it is not a test of acting skills, so he still sets the test questions very strictly.
"Lin Yuan, right? You were introduced here by Aaron, so I won't waste your time. Have you finished reading the script of this drama?"
"It's over, director!"
"Okay, then you probably know something about Feng Yuxiu's role, right?"
"Yes."
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. The biggest setting of this character is that he can challenge the entire martial arts master with his own ability. He can challenge one by one according to the five-in-one formula of internal fists and external kicks, weapons and internal skills.
It doesn’t matter what the block is, just do some explosion special effects when the time comes. The main thing is that you need to have a foundation in boxing, kicking, grappling, and weapons. Have you practiced before?"
"I have been practicing wild skills for a while." Lin Yuan nodded and answered without thinking too much.
Hearing that the other party had practiced, Chen Desheng turned around and introduced a few people around him: "Okay, let me introduce to you. These are famous martial arts instructors in our country. In order to ensure that you can perform well in this scene
, I will ask these martial arts instructors to compete with you on the spot, what do you think?"
Rather than making gestures, it is better to say that I want to see Lin Yuan's Kung Fu foundation through actual combat.
"no problem."
Lin Yuan, who has picked up so many action and acting skills, is not vain at all. He is even looking forward to it. Action acting is different from other acting skills. Other acting skills can often be used, but action acting skills are basically useless, so the attributes he picked up from
After that, there was basically no test. Now that someone is taking the initiative to test his strength, how can he not look forward to it?
The voice fell.
The first person to come on stage was a boxing instructor. He was in his forties. He walked like a tiger and was very powerful. He didn't look like a middle-aged man at all. If you look carefully, the bones on the opponent's fists were full of calluses. He must have been practicing boxing.
A veteran now.
"Young man, don't hold back. Fight as hard as you want."
The boxing instructor had a sense of martial arts. He stood in front of him and did not move. Instead, he smiled and asked him to take action first.
"Thank you very much, teacher." Lin Yuan knew that everyone doubted his movement strength. He didn't take it seriously. He cupped his fists as a sign of respect, and then put on a fighting posture.
Because of the distance problem, Lin Yuan was in front of the opponent in the next second, and violently attacked the opponent with his right palm turned into a fist.
The boxing instructor did not expect that the opponent was so accomplished in boxing. Before he could react, he placed his fist between his eyebrows. If he had not withdrawn it, he would have fallen to the ground at this time.
"I was careless just now. I didn't dodge. I have to start over."
The boxing instructor looked at Chi Chi's fist and subconsciously found a reason for himself.
When everyone saw this, they were first shocked by Lin Yuan's speed and punching speed. Secondly, they slowly nodded and thought it was because they didn't pay attention.
"Let's do it again." Chen Desheng spoke up, giving the boxing instructor some face.
In fact, this is not the boxing teacher's excuse. He was really careless and underestimated the enemy too much, which resulted in the current situation.
The two people once again stood on opposite sides, separated by a distance of two meters.
This time the boxing instructor was not careless and stared at Lin Yuan's fists and feet carefully.
"start."
The boxing instructor shouted, and then Lin Yuan stepped forward and rushed forward.
"Peng Peng Peng!"
This time the boxing teacher caught the opponent's incoming fist, and the two quickly entered into a makeshift competition.
One minute.
The sound of Peng Peng Peng's fighting never stopped.
It wasn't until Lin Yuan revealed a flaw that this "competition" was over.
After the game, Lin Yuan immediately praised: "The teacher is still better."
"I'm old and can't do it anymore. If I hadn't had some experience, I would have lost my fortune today." The boxing instructor knew Lin Yuan's strength very well. Although he won, if there was a real fight, he would have fallen long ago.
It's not because I'm inferior, but because the opponent's punching power is very deep. If I punch the opponent, nothing will happen to him, but if the opponent hits me, he will probably fall down immediately.
Therefore, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and exchanged business blows. Then he looked at Chen Desheng and said: "The director's boxing skills are fine. As for the beauty of the moves, it depends on your ideas."
As a martial arts instructor, he is only responsible for testing the opponent's basic skills, but making a movie depends on the beauty of the moves, which is not his business.
"Yeah, very good." Chen Desheng nodded repeatedly after hearing this. During Lin Yuan's competition with the martial arts instructor just now, he found that the opponent's movements were very smooth, making the viewers feel a hearty competition.
"Teacher Li, go and try his kicking skills."
After approving the boxing technique, Chen Desheng once again asked the new teacher to try the leg technique.
With the test from the boxing teacher, the kicking teacher didn't dare to show off. He became serious as soon as he came up, but the master did not say a dead hand until the master passed the moves. The two were basically competing in moves, reaction speed, and strength.
The battle on.
One minute.
Lin Yuan was defeated again, and the kicking teacher was also out of breath: "This young man is good, really good. He was born a few years ago and is definitely a genius in martial arts."
With the praise from the kicking teacher, I will definitely pass the level of kicking perfectly.
Chen Desheng also nodded repeatedly, with a touch of surprise in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed in his heart.
"It's a good thing I didn't refuse directly, otherwise I would have really missed a good piece of jade."
After the boxing and leg skills were over, Lin Yuan lived up to expectations in capturing this area, showing his ability in a fast, accurate and ruthless way.
But what really amazes everyone is the weapons.
When the martial arts competition began with weapons, even the martial arts instructor who was acting as a substitute for such a scene was on par with him.
It was not until two minutes later, when the teacher was already exhausted, that Lin Yuan deliberately found an opportunity to lose. Otherwise, the two of them would have to fight for at least ten minutes to determine the winner.
After comparing the last item.
Chen Desheng took the initiative to stand up and applaud, and asked: "Which martial art did you learn from? I think your boxing skills are a bit like Wing Chun."
Chen Desheng himself is a martial arts fan. When he has nothing to do, he likes to collect various martial arts information. Whether it is modern or ancient, he will learn about it. In order to satisfy his curiosity, he has visited many martial arts masters in China many times.
So when I saw at a glance that Lin Yuan's boxing style was a bit like Wing Chun, I couldn't help but ask.
"When I was a child, there was a martial arts teacher in the village. I followed him when I had nothing to do. I only know that he came from Guangzhou, but he never said who he was."
Lin Yuan couldn't explain it, so he made up a random reason again.
After hearing his explanation, Chen Desheng didn't think much about it. In the early years, many martial arts masters did live in seclusion. This is also a common phenomenon.
I didn’t continue to talk more about this topic.
Chen Desheng looked at Lin Yuan with satisfaction and finally decided on his role.
"Okay, don't say anything else, it's just you."
After he finished speaking, Lin Yuan thanked the director again.
Before he saw the script "One Man's Martial Arts", he came here purely for Teacher Donnie Yen, and the purpose was to pick up more attribute points.
But after carefully reading the script, even if he didn't know much about movies, he knew just by reading the script that no matter how well the movie sold in the end, the character named Feng Yuxiu would definitely be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and would definitely get a lot of attention.
heat.
Therefore, whether it is for the sake of picking up attributes or for considering his career, he wants to take this film, he really wants to take it.
Therefore, he was so happy after getting the director's approval.
Chen Desheng looked at Lin Yuan with satisfaction, then waved over the staff and whispered a few words in his ear. The staff also took Lin Yuan out, and the directors continued working, preparing to find other actors.
After leaving the audition area, the staff spoke to Lin Yuan very politely.
"Teacher Lin, let's talk about the contract. I wonder if you can represent the company?"
"Yes!" Long before he came, he had communicated with Sister Xia that he could make the decision himself as long as the price was not too low.
"Well, it's like this. In view of your reputation and influence in the mainland, the price we'll give you is 1.5 million before tax. Do you think it's okay?" The staff's attitude was still very sincere.
"One and a half million?" Lin Yuan was satisfied when he heard the price, but he was afraid that he would agree too quickly and affect future prices.
"It's like this. When I hired Mr. Wrinkle Dragon for this role, the price was 800,000. However, you are now much more popular in the mainland than Mr. Wrinkle Dragon, so I gave you this price. Of course, this price can still be negotiated.
, but we may give you a maximum of 1.8 million. If you exceed this number, we will go to the producer to negotiate."
Lin Yuan didn't think there was any problem with the price of 1.8 million, but he still cautiously found Sister Xia and asked what she meant.
Sister Xia also quickly responded to the message and told him bluntly that the price was not unacceptable, but it was a little less than what other crews offered, but who said the starring role was Teacher Donnie Yen? It was because of his connections and fame.
The price is fine.
After receiving the reply, Lin Yuan agreed without hesitation.
The two parties signed the contract quickly.
After signing the contract, Lin Yuan was taken to the hotel lounge and a room was specially opened for him.
Living in the room with nothing to do, Lin Yuan didn't know what to do. He picked up his phone and read the news but couldn't stand it.
Finally, he suddenly saw the script Deng Chao sent him.
I just thought about agreeing, but I didn't read the script carefully.
Since there was nothing to do, Lin Yuan clicked on the script and started reading it seriously.
You don't know this, but he feels numb just by looking at it.
The so-called acting with Liu Yan completely deviated from his idea. The two of them did not play lovers or husbands in this play, but acted out a story about a licking dog and a goddess.
Liu Yan plays a goddess who goes abroad in the play.
Over the years since she went abroad, the lead character Zhu Tou has been waiting for her in her hometown, scrimping on food and expenses every day, reluctant to spend or wear anything, and in the end all the money she earned was sent to her.
He thought that doing this would impress the goddess, but who knew that the goddess abandoned him immediately after returning to China.
The story of a dog licking until there was nothing left at the end made him feel emotional.
Without thinking much, Lin Yuan quickly picked up the phone and called Deng Chao.
He wanted to change it quickly before this character was completely established.
"Dududu!"
After dialing the phone, the other party did not answer.
It took half an hour for Deng Chao's call to come back.
"What's the matter? Brother?" Deng Chao asked in a relaxed tone as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Brother Chao, you can't cheat your brother like this!
!" Lin Yuan said, wanting to cry.
"How do you say this?" When Deng Chao heard this, he realized that the other party had probably read the script, and he felt guilty and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"We agreed to play the role of Liu Yan, but you didn't tell me that it was a dog-licking role." Lin Yuan knew that this kind of role would attract many negative comments from the audience, and it was mixed.
So he said quickly.
"Tsk, tsk, that's what you said, brother, you're too young." After hearing this, Deng Chao clucked his tongue and said.
"What's too small?"
"The situation is too small!" Deng Chao replied without hesitation.
"?????" Lin Yuan was confused.
"What is licking a dog? Where does it say licking a dog? This character named Zhutou is an infatuated character who is persistent in love and unwilling to give up. This kind of character is a miserable person and a character who can attract the sympathy of the audience. Do you know
Do you know how much effort your brother put in to help you win this role? Also, the person you play with is Liu Yan. She has not found a husband yet, so I will give you another chance, maybe it will lead to a good relationship.
, do you think so?"
Good guy, Lin Yuan has never seen anyone so shameless.
The black ones are said to be white, and the dead ones are said to be alive.
"Brother... I treat you as a brother, but you are treating me like an enemy." Lin Yuan was about to cry without tears.
"Look at what you said. It's heart-breaking. Brother, I'm heart-broken. I won't tell you more. My signal here is not very good. Hey, hey, hey, everything."
Deng Chao seemed to be unable to find the words and quickly hung up the phone without even giving Lin Yuan a chance to change roles.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan knew that he had to play this role. If he didn't play it, he would be breaking the contract and not giving Chao Ge face.
Sighing, Lin Yuan could only blame himself for being a bad person.
Why do you have to deal with such a brother???
.......
Deng Chao, who was filming in a certain scenic spot, breathed a sigh of relief. Others couldn't help but jokingly asked: "Brother Chao, what's wrong? You look nervous."
"It's okay, I just want to help a lost brother go to the right path. It's a pity that I am young and ignorant." Deng Chao replied shamelessly.
"Indeed, today's young people don't listen to advice. Brother Chao, don't worry about it. There are too many of them."
"Yes, yes, I won't listen to advice." Deng Chao was a little embarrassed, but he still took the words.
In his heart, he silently apologized to Lin Yuan.
"Brother, don't blame me for cheating on you. Who told me that I drank too much and boasted in front of the director, saying that I could call you over with just one phone call? You can cooperate with any role. If you want to blame me, blame that cheating director. There are so many
I didn’t choose a role, but I chose this one. Brother, I’m riding a tiger and it’s hard to get off.”
It turns out that Deng Chao asked Lin Yuan to play this role entirely because the director mentioned the role of Lin Yuan during a drinking party.
Deng Chao looked over and realized that this was not his good brother.
Under the influence of alcohol and the people around me, the desire to show off suddenly came to me.
In front of the director, he patted his chest and told the director that this was his brother.
When the director heard this, he also knew that Lin Yuan was very popular right now, so he immediately obeyed and asked if he could be invited to come over and act in this scene.
Deng Chao didn't think much about it and said it was okay with his tongue rolling.
The director was overjoyed when he heard that, but the most critical role at present was the role of Pig Head. He couldn't say it directly for fear of embarrassing Deng Chao, so the director played a trick and deliberately said that he would forget it, fearing that the other party would not be able to call him.
As soon as the method of stimulating generals was revealed, Deng Chao, who had been drinking, lost his mind and quickly made a promise.
In a word, I can play any role and come at any time.
The director was not polite and quickly settled the matter at the wine table. In order to prevent Deng Chao from going back on his word, he even asked several famous people to testify.
Finally, after he sobered up, Deng Chao regretted it, but he had no choice but to pretend so hard that he had to finish it with tears in his eyes.
As for Lin Yuan, all I can say is, brother, I'm sorry!
