After being defeated by Qingmei, I became a top player

Chapter 93 Being the male protagonist is not because I am ugly (3 in 1)

"Is it so difficult to find a male lead?"

Chen Shuren asked curiously.

"It's not hard to find a male lead, but it's hard to find a male lead who meets the requirements!"

Sun Wen was a little melancholy.

"After our crew sent out the relevant announcement, many people wanted to come. I thought that finding the male lead would be a matter of minutes, but I was wrong."

"Dozens of boys came for interviews, but I was surprised that I couldn't find any ugly ones! If he doesn't co-write a handsome guy, then he can't be an actor?"

Sun Wen was a little angry, but Xie Haiqi was smiling happily.

"Otherwise, why do you think there are behind-the-scenes staff? If you were more handsome, would you still want to be a director?"

Xie Haiqi's words shocked Sun Wen!
How did he know that my original dream was to be an actor?
But then Sun Wen understood that Xie Haiqi's words were just a metaphor.

"No matter how handsome I am, it won't affect my ability to be a director! Because this is my dream and my hobby!"

If you lose, you don't lose the formation, that's what Sun Wen is talking about.

Xie Haiqi was disdainful and immediately changed the topic back.

"Then tell me, what should I do with the male lead now? Neither of the two male leads has been decided yet!"

After hearing Xie Haiqi's words, Sun Wen was also a little worried.

At this moment, Tang Yingcheng, who had always had no sense of presence, suddenly spoke.

"I have a candidate, do you want to listen?"

Seeing everyone looking over, Tang Yingcheng adjusted his glasses.

"You want someone with acting skills, but also someone who's not that good-looking. Maybe even better, someone who can play guitar?"

"Yeah! Do you know who fits the bill?"

Sun Wen looked at Tang Yingcheng expectantly.

"Well... I do know one, but I don't know if he will agree."

"Tell me who it is, and I'll go talk to him!"

Sun Wen waved his hand, full of confidence.

Seeing this, Tang Yingcheng nodded, then raised his hand and pointed at Chen Shuren.

"Hey, that's him."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"I?"

"wood?"

"Brother Tree?"

Not only Chen Shuren was shocked, but several other people were more or less surprised. They didn't know what Tang Yingcheng could say about Chen Shuren.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Tang Yingcheng naturally knew what they were thinking.

"Have you two forgotten the short video that Mu Mu took last time? Have you forgotten the state of his dancing that night?"

Meng Changfeng and Xie Haiqi were stunned by Tang Yingcheng's words.

"I don't know if you noticed that Mu Mu was not just dancing at that time. He entered that kind of neurotic state very quickly. If I hadn't known that Mu Mu was a normal person, I would have thought that there was something wrong with his head."

"what are you guys saying?"

Sun Wen didn't know what Tang Yingcheng was talking about, but when Xie Haiqi next to him opened his phone and found the dancing video, Sun Wen's eyes lit up.

"Brother Shu, you...have something? Have you learned it?"

Chen Shuren opened his mouth and was about to say that he had never learned it before, when he saw Xie Haiqi pull out a book "How Actors Control Facial Expressions" from under the coffee table.

At this moment, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at him.

"Mu Mu, what is your hobby, or your dream? Writing songs? Singing? Or being an actor?"

Meng Changfeng couldn't help but ask. He really couldn't understand why someone like Chen Shuren, who had just established a foothold in the music industry, would read books on acting?

"Uh... I said this is a personal hobby. Just take a look at it. Do you believe it?"

After Chen Shuren finished speaking, Xie Haiqi asked: "Is the moonwalk you did before also a hobby? If so, then I have to redefine what a hobby is."

After Xie Haiqi finished speaking, Sun Wen smiled.

"Brother Shu, why don't you try playing Xiao Dabao? Anyway, it's just a try. If it doesn't work, we still have time to find someone else who won't be in the way, how about it?"

Seeing Sun Wen say this, what else could Chen Shuren say?
After nodding in agreement, he refuted what Tang Yingcheng had said before.

"Let me make it clear first that I am playing the leading role because you like my acting skills, not because I am ugly!"

"Ah yes yes yes!"

So, the first male lead of the Old Boy crew was decided, but then they encountered difficulties again.

One male protagonist is solved, but what about the other one?

The same requirement, this time you need to have some dance basics.

After thinking to no avail, Sun Wen set his sights on Xie Haiqi, an activist based on the inspiration given by Tang Yingcheng just now.

In the end, he decided to put on ugly makeup on Xie Haiqi to see if he could say no more.

So, the two male protagonists in a micro-movie were decided so hastily.

That night, after the others left, Zhou Yiqing, who came back from the company, told Chen Shuren a piece of news.

"Sister Zeng asked me not to post the song "Father" in a hurry. She said that she would find a variety show for me and let me sing this song on the variety show. This would be equivalent to a free hot search."

"Oh? What variety show?"

Chen Shuren asked curiously.

"Who is the Singer Season [-] Issue [-]."

Having said this, Zhou Yiqing's face was a little excited and a little embarrassed.

"I found out that I am the person with the lowest status in this variety show. Others are either third-tier or second-tier. I am able to get in because of Sister Zeng's efforts."

Chen Shuren nodded.

Indeed, although this variety show only held its first season last year, it immediately broke into the top five variety shows in Qingzhou.

Even though Wang Xiaolin's previous "Summer Flowers: Daily Life of an Artist" exceeded everyone's expectations because of Chen Shuren, it still didn't make it into the top ten of Qingzhou variety shows.

From this we can see how many people will pay attention to the program "Singer".

Different from Wang Xiaolin's program, "Singer" is not a live broadcast, but a recording, so even if Zhou Yiqing goes tomorrow, he will have to wait until the next week to be screened.

This means that in the first week of December, Zhou Yiqing gave up on the chart by default, which will undoubtedly be pulled down by other chart-topping singers.

But if you give up, you will get something. A week's time is exchanged for the screening of "Singer". In Zeng Juan's view, it is completely worth it.

"There's no need to worry. Brother Zhou, don't you have confidence in the song "Father"?"

Chen Shuren saw that Zhou Yiqing was not in a high mood and said immediately.

When Zhou Yiqing heard the word "Father", the old man who was still in his hometown popped up in his mind. The unconfidence in his eyes gradually dissipated, and then he said seriously and solemnly: "I have confidence, even if the first issue is Even if I am eliminated, I will leave an unforgettable memory for everyone!”

……

the next day.

Chen Shuren did not go to work, but went to Sun Wen's crew.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Shuren has now achieved the freedom to go to work.

You can go to work whenever you want. Although you are not a gold medal songwriter yet, you are already enjoying the treatment of a gold medal songwriter.

Despite this, no one had any objections to his doing so.

As for Sun Wen, it is said to be a crew, but in fact it is just a team of dozens of students.

The gathering place this time is an old campus rented by Sun Wen that can be used as a tourist attraction.

"Okay, everyone, look over here!"

When Sun Wen saw that everyone had arrived, he started to organize things.

"Today is the day when our crew starts filming. You have all read the scripts in your hands. I believe that this micro-movie will definitely become your resume, rather than something that cannot be taken out or spoken out."

"Now, I announce that the crew of "Oldboy" has been established!"

Whoa!Whoa!Whoa!
Although it is simple and simple, although the crew members are immature, no one can deny that this crew is very young and energetic!
Of course, no one present except Chen Shuren knew what this micro-movie would bring to them.

Later, Sun Wen was arranging the filming of the first scene.

As one of the male protagonists, Chen Shuren does not have the consciousness that a male protagonist should have.

Others gathered around Sun Wen to prepare for filming the first scene, but Chen Shuren was still looking around at the old campus.

It wasn't until the sound of "Junior" woke Chen Shuren up that he came back to his senses.

Turning around, he saw Han Man, wearing a school uniform and a ponytail, greeting him with a smile.

Although it was Chen Shuren who brought Han Man to the crew, this was indeed the first time he saw Han Man dressed up now.

I have to say that Bai Yueguang should be like this!
Compared to the more mature look in Han Man's past, she now wears a bare face with a little makeup. Not to mention other things, when the movie is released, a large number of high school boys will probably redefine what it means to be a goddess, school beauty, and white moonlight. .

"Junior, what are you doing? Aren't you going to have your camera in a while?"

Seeing Chen Shuren staring at him in a daze, Han Man couldn't help but smooth his hair.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little nostalgic seeing this old campus."

Chen Shuren said this. When Han Man heard this, he also looked around and a trace of reminiscence flashed across his face. "Yes, but I can't go back."

When Han Man heard that Chen Shuren wanted to film with her while she was still the female lead, her first reaction was that Chen Shuren was playing truth or dare, so she agreed without even thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, Sun Wen sent her the script not long after waiting. Only then did she realize that Chen Shuren was not joking!

Although it was a bit ridiculous, Han Man did not refuse because this was a script written by Chen Shuren.

The two of them stayed outside the crowd chatting like this until Sun Wen announced the start of the announcement, and then they walked over together.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. Today's scene was shot of Wang Xiaoshuai dancing in the corridor, and then the school beauty sent a love letter to her bestie. This scene was seen by Xiao Dabao on the side. From this moment on, Xiao Dabao decided to become a school girl. Ba, also started to target Wang Xiaoshuai everywhere..."

Perhaps in order to get the first act off to a good start, or perhaps in order to make all the students less nervous, Sun Wen began to tell the students one by one what the situation would be and how they should react, even if it was just as a backdrop. Sun Wen didn't let anyone go either.

Needless to say, with such a detailed explanation, most of everyone's nervousness disappeared.

Fear comes from the unknown. When all the unknown things were unveiled one by one, these students suddenly felt that filming seemed quite simple!
Illusions are everywhere in life, but no one will know that what they think is wrong until they discover it.

"Okay, Xie Haiqi, ready... 3, 2, 1, start."

After everything was arranged, Sun Wen shouted to Xie Haiqi, who was surrounded by a group of classmates.

The moment he heard the start, Xie Haiqi, who was combed in a three-quarter length, wearing gloves and a school uniform, and his face was a little ugly, started dancing solo.

The students around him also got into the mood after seeing the male protagonist start to perform, whispering to each other in twos and threes, with "wow" expressions on their faces.

Sun Wen looked at the awkward expressions of Xie Haiqi and his classmates in the camera, and resisted the urge to stop and continued watching.

"It's okay, it's the first time, and it will get better and better in the future."

Sun Wen comforted himself in his heart.

But the next moment, when Xie Haiqi jumped to the moonwalk that Chen Shuren taught him, Sun Wen found that both the stinky expression on Xie Haiqi's face and the surprise on the faces of the surrounding classmates were all very real.

"Yes, yes, that's it, keep it up!"

Sun Wen clenched his fist, but what he didn't know was that the surprise on the faces of those students was not staged, but they were really shocked by Xie Haiqi's moonwalk.

Xie Haiqi naturally felt the surprise of the classmates next to him, and then changed his previous stiffness on his face, revealing a trace of embarrassment.

"It's worth practicing this footwork for so many days. It's so comfortable!"

The filming continued. Not long after, when Wang Xiaoshuai's dance stopped and the surrounding students dispersed, the school beauty Han Man walked up behind Xie Haiqi and shouted "Wang Xiaoshuai" with a hint of shyness on his face.

When Wang Xiaoshuai heard the noise, he turned around and looked at Han Man, who was walking towards him, and said calmly: "Are you calling me?"

Then, Han Man slowly handed over a pink envelope in his hand.

……

"Stop! Okay! The first scene is over, the filming was great! Haha!"

Sun Wen stood up from the director's chair with excitement and walked towards Xie Haiqi.

At this time, Xie Haiqi had just recovered from the surprise that Han Man had given him.

He looked around awkwardly and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one had any doubts about his appearance just now.

"My friend's wife, you're welcome... Bah... you can't play with it! Senior Han Man is stupid!"

Xie Haiqi gave himself a slap in the heart, but it was still difficult to erase the surprise that Han Man had given him just now.

Sighing secretly, he turned to look at Chen Shuren on the other side who was already preparing to take pictures.

"How virtuous and capable is your boy!"

the other side.

Chen Shuren had already changed into his school uniform and was about to put on makeup when Sun Wen interrupted the female classmate who was about to put on makeup.

"No need to change it, Brother Shu is fine just like this."

Hearing this, Chen Shuren had a question mark on his face!

What do you mean, you mean I'm ugly enough?
Chen Shuren reached out and grabbed the makeup classmate who was about to leave.

"Classmate, I think I'm still too handsome. Make me look ugly."

"Pfft!"

As soon as Chen Shuren said these words, Han Man, who had just ran over not long ago, couldn't help laughing.

Sun Wen saw that Chen Shuren was not staring at the makeup artist but staring at him, and said a little embarrassed: "That's right, Brother Shu's good looks still have to be covered up, so why don't you do some makeup again."

Seeing Sun Wen say this, Chen Shuren nodded with satisfaction.

After putting on makeup, Sun Wen began to explain to Chen Shuren what should be shown in this scene.

"Brother Shu, I know you understand the plot, but there is still a gap between the text and the performance. This scene is actually an introduction, the introduction of Xiao Dabao's transformation into a bad boy, so it cannot only show the things of this scene, but also for The content of the following scenes is foreshadowed!”

"Let's talk about this scene first. You saw the school beauty you like sending love letters to other boys, so your heart is very complicated. Here you have to show your grievance, sadness, and pain. Then this feeling will transform into resentment and inadequacy. ."

"But this transformation doesn't have to be too obvious. Only when you play guitar in the rain and is ignored by the school beauty will your emotions explode, and then you make up your mind to be a bad student."

"When that time comes, you still have to show that sense of self-destruction and rebellion. Of course, that's something later. Let's shoot this scene first. Brother Shu, do you understand?"

After Sun Wen finished speaking, he found that Chen Shuren had been staring at him. Seeing the boss of the crew looking at him like this, his normally thick-skinned face suddenly became a little unbearable.

"Ahem, then let's get ready to start, everyone is on their feet..."

Turning his head away from Chen Shuren, Sun Wen walked towards his chair. Everyone who heard Sun Wen's request cast a sympathetic look at Chen Shuren.

They also didn't understand why Sun Wen, who had been quite tolerant of Xie Haiqi and others just now, would put such harsh demands on Chen Shuren, not to mention that Chen Shuren was not a performance person.

Therefore, many students who did not know the specific situation of this drama had a guess in their minds, that is, Brother Shu, a celebrity from the composition department of Jinghong College, offended Sun Wen, a fierce man who could invite quasi-second-tier artists to participate in the filming of the movie. people!
Sun Wen, who returned to his chair, looked at Chen Shuren who was brewing in the venue, and was also looking forward to Chen Shuren's next performance.

He asked Chen Shuren like this because Xiao Dabao's role is very important, more important than Xie Haiqi's role!
Chen Shuren's performance is related to whether the drama can arouse the audience's emotions. If Chen Shuren can express even two-thirds of the emotions, Sun Wen will recognize it and just keep filming!
Otherwise, even if it is difficult to find a candidate for the protagonist, even if it makes Chen Shuren unhappy, he will have to consider replacing him.

If it really comes to that point, a replacement would not only be good for the movie, but also good for Chen Shuren.

Chen Shuren is no longer an ordinary person, he is now a fifth-tier artist, the kind who has been in the limelight recently!

If it was not suitable and Sun Wen still stubbornly kept it, others would think that he did it just to take advantage of Chen Shuren's traffic.

There is no doubt that Chen Shuren's participation will make his movie more popular, but if he really does not care about damaging Chen Shuren's image just to fulfill himself, let alone Xie Haiqi and others, he will look down on him in the future. Own.

He knew that the directing industry would inevitably come into contact with some dirty things, but that was a choice that should only be experienced after having no choice but to jump into the quagmire from the beginning.

With mixed feelings, Sun Wen shouted to start.

Chen Shuren in the distance entered the plot after hearing the beginning.

At this time, he was squatting in the garbage truck being pushed by Bao Xiaobai, looking in the distance in the direction of the school beauty and Wang Xiaoshuai.

When he saw the school beauty handing Wang Xiaoshuai a love letter, his mouth pursed tightly. No matter how he concealed it, the downward corners of his mouth and the tense facial muscles after clenching his teeth revealed that he was not calm. heart.

Seeing the school beauty and Wang Xiaoshuai getting closer and closer, Chen Shuren's fingers holding on to the edge of the garbage truck turned white.

Even though he was unwilling, he still had to slowly retract his whole body into the garbage truck, and then was pushed away from the scene by Bao Xiaobai.

Because he didn't want to face the kissing incident that might happen next.

……

It only lasted less than ten seconds, but everyone present was stunned.

"What about that, director, do you still want to continue filming?"

Sun Wen was awakened by the classmate who was acting as an assistant next to him, and then he shouted the words that the filming of this scene was over.

After he reacted, the excitement on his face could no longer be concealed.

"There is drama, there is drama!"

Sun Wen was still pleasantly surprised by Chen Shuren's performance, even though he had the short video in mind. His previous worries were all gone. At this moment, he really wanted to shout, "Brother Shu is awesome!"

But now is not the time!
Afraid that Chen Shuren's condition was temporary, Sun Wen struck while the iron was hot and led the team non-stop to another filming location on the old campus.

Because the scene in the rain required props, Sun Wen chose to shoot the scene where Xiao Dabao threw the guitar first.

Everything is ready and shooting begins again!

In the video in front of Sun Wen, Chen Shuren threw away his guitar with a sad face, then rubbed the lighter with trembling hands several times before lighting the cigarette in his mouth.

After coughing a few times, the sadness on Chen Shuren's face gradually disappeared, replaced by the rebellious and unruly expression of someone who thought he had succeeded in revenge after giving up on himself.

"it is good!"

Sun Wen looked at the childish and funny expression on Chen Shuren's not-so-handsome face in the video and couldn't help but slap his thigh!
At this time, he was no longer worried about the role of Xiao Dabao. Even after watching Chen Shuren's performance, Sun Wen had an illusion.

Did Chen Shuren write this script based on his own experience?
Because after seeing Chen Shuren's performance, you will unnaturally believe that this naive and stupid Xiao Dabao is what he should be like!
Chen Shuren's perfect performance greatly increased Sun Wen's interest, and he led the team to start shooting other scenes.

Sun Wen was even thinking that at this pace, the micro-movie might be completed in less than half a month and would be online by the end of the month!
But then, he knew he was wrong.

Chen Shuren is just an example, others still have problems more or less.

The content interpreted by the actors did not meet Sun Wen's expectations. Fortunately, because these students are all majoring in acting, Sun Wen often said that they can get the feeling after a few tries.

But there is one exception, and that is Xie Haiqi!

This kid's performance was completely random, that is, when he danced in the first scene, it just matched his mood, so there was no big problem during filming. But when other scenes were filmed later, Xie Haiqi's performance had a big problem.

Even though Sun Wen comforted himself more than a dozen times, "Lao Xie can't do anything," in the end, after reshooting more than [-] times in a row, he couldn't help but yell at Xie Haiqi.

Xie Haiqi was already irritated because he had taken dozens of shots but failed to get it right, which was directly triggered by Sun Wen's roar.

Without saying a word, he turned his head and left.

This move directly caused the first day of filming to end early.

Upon seeing this, Chen Shuren comforted Sun Wen with a few words and then chased Xie Haiqi.

……

　3 in 1, still [-] words!
