Crossover Actors - Chapter 5

[Chapter 5]

At the end of the reading, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Ren Shu concluded his speech: “Today’s reading is mainly about some details, because it is easy to ignore during the shooting process, it is very trivial, everyone has worked hard.” The

actors said, “The director has worked hard.” . Lu Wen pretended to move his mouth but didn’t say a word. As the person with the most lines, his throat hurt when he breathed.

Ren Shu said: “I am the director, and I also need to constantly digest the script. Except the screenwriter himself, no one dares to say that he has completely devoured the script.”

Since the screenwriter was mentioned, Ren Shu laughed: “I officially inform that we The chief screenwriter of the play, Qu Yanting, and Qu editor, have come to the crew. People are in Chongqing right now.”

Lu Wen was a little surprised, and the others shouted, “Is it true or false?!”

“I only broke the truth.” Ren Shu Said, “Mr. Qu will also attend the opening banquet tonight.”

A group of people who were exhausted just now suddenly returned to their light, nothing more than because of the news that Qu Yanting was coming to the crew.

Lu Wen didn’t know much about things in the circle, and only when he came into contact with this play did he learn about Qu Yanting.

To use an old-fashioned saying: If you don’t ask, you don’t know, you will be shocked when you ask.

Qu Yanting is the chief screenwriter of “First Night” and a well-known screenwriter in the industry. He majored in directing in college, and his debut in his senior year was made into a movie, which won the box office gold crown in one fell swoop.

There are not a few people in this industry who go high and low, but Qu Yanting has a lot of stamina. He switched to screenwriting with a master’s degree, and studied while working. Over the years, he has successively won the Pioneer Award and the Best Screenwriter Award, and has been rated as an outstanding young screenwriter by the mainstream media.

There is no doubt about Qu Yanting’s ability, but the entertainment industry not only depends on ability, but also on connections.

Screenwriting is a pyramid-shaped industry. On the top of the tower are seniors with many resources and seniority. Among them, Wang Mingyu, a great screenwriter who can be called the “Golden Editor” in the industry, is mostly a CCTV drama. He is a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. Soong Ching Ling’s council member is not only a leader in the literary and art circles, but also a well-known figure in the charity circle.

Famous teachers produce high apprentices, and Wang Mingyu is Qu Yanting’s master.

And Wang Mingyu’s husband is a famous director, Zeng Zhen. As for Zeng Zhen, no one in the entertainment industry knows about it, even the uncle who cleaned the toilet in Lu Wen’s company.

All the actors who have been brought out by Zeng Zhen have become first-line celebrities, and there are many movie stars and queens. If a newcomer appears in Zeng Zhen’s movie, it is tantamount to taking one step to the sky.

At the same time, Zeng Zhen is an honorary professor at the Film Academy and a university teacher of Qu Yanting.

Backed by Zeng Zhen and Wang Mingyu, Qu Yanting’s personal connections can be imagined. In the director’s circle, the director’s wife circle, and the screenwriter circle in the Mainland, everyone has to sell his face.

He is well-known, but for most people in the industry, they have only seen the drama written by Qu Yanting and heard the name of Qu Yanting, but rarely have contact with Qu Yanting himself.

Nearly ten years after entering the industry, Qu Yanting has participated in only a handful of public activities, and it has become less and less. He hardly made any appearances on TV. Even if he was on stage to accept an award or discuss cooperation, he tried his best to have his assistant appear on his behalf.

According to rumors, Qu Yanting has been with the group, but not many times. He does not communicate with actors except for drama, and even refuses to take photos.

Some people say that he is low-key, some people say that he is pretentious, and it only seems that he is more and more mysterious.

After a long time, many people do not even know whether he is round or flat.

Therefore, the actors were naturally pleasantly surprised when they learned of Qu Yanting’s arrival. Not only wanted to see the true face of Mount Lu, but also wanted to make a good impression on Qu Yanting. If he could get green eyes, it would be like climbing a high branch with one paw.

At this moment, after taking a shower, Qu Yanting’s wet black hair was glowing with water, and his skin was like white and greasy porcelain. Only the tips of his ears behind his temples were red from the hot water.

He stood in front of the closet picking clothes, a black shirt with a traditional pointy collar, a black suit with sharp lines, a tie that wasn’t brightened and pocket squares embellished, and he didn’t even bother to wipe cologne.

It can be seen that for him, the mood of going to the banquet is not much different from the funeral.

If he knew it was such a coincidence, he must have missed the opening banquet two days late.

It was too dull, so Qu Yanting changed into a silver watch, put it on, and dragged it out until the latest moment.

The start-up banquet was held in the hotel’s banquet hall, and there was still half an hour left. Lu Wen prepared in the temporarily opened room, changed his clothes, and was chewing mint and throat tablets like melon seeds.

When Sun Xiaojian learned that Qu Yanting was coming to the crew, he was as excited as when he went to the postgraduate entrance examination. He took the medicine bottle and said, “Don’t eat it, what if you smoke Mr. Qu?”

Lu Wendao: “Why, I won’t kiss him.”

Sun Xiaojian was stunned for a moment: “Why do you think of having sex with a man? Kissing? This is something I will never think about in my whole life.”

Lu Wen was stopped by the question, a little regretful, he could only change the subject if he couldn’t answer, and put up Erlang’s legs and pretended to be calm, and said, “Am I really meeting Qu Yanting? ”

Of course.” Sun Xiaojian was full of happiness, “The essence of the banquet is to greet each other, hook up and hug each other. Qu Yanting’s participation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the actors. Everyone’s head is not necessarily eligible to toast.” Lu Wen has no confidence: ”

Will that person meet me?”

Sun Xiaojian said, “Nonsense, you are the male lead and the soul of the whole play. Teacher Qu wrote the script and participated in the investment. He came all the way. It’s like a leader’s inspection, and no one will see you.”

Lu Wen was a little emotional. He was coldly received when he played a small supporting role in the past, and the director can’t remember his name after finishing the film. Now Qu Yanting, who knows a lot of directors, tonight about to see him!

“You must seize the opportunity.” Sun Xiaojian encouraged, “You have to make Teacher Qu feel that you have chosen the right person. If you win his appreciation, are you still worried?”

Lu Wen asked excitedly, “For example?”

Sun Xiaojian Answer: “For example, the next movie that directly puts you in Zeng Zhen.”

Lu Wen dared not imagine: “I won’t take the best actor at a young age, right?”

“Then who can stop it?” Sun Xiaojian pushed his glasses hard, “When you get the best actor, I will publish an autobiography of a gold-medal agent.”

Around 7:30, the opening banquet was about to start, and the waiter was too busy to do so. There were pre-dinner snacks and drinks on the floor, and actors and staff from various groups arrived one after another.

Lu Wen just finished his makeup and hair, went to the banquet hall, and looked at the profiles of other actors while walking.

At the start-up banquet, the actors were mainly chatting, which was embarrassing or cold. Sun Xiaojian would organize a document and send it to Lu Wen. The information includes details such as age, representative works, awards, marital status, and hobbies.

Lu Wen lowered his head: “I’ll go, I like to list the broccoli as well. I’ll give her one?”

Sun Xiaojian said, “List this to let you know what to cook for the other party.”

Lu Wen pouted: “I Don’t have any hands, I’m not a waiter. And this, why do you list divorce twice?”

Sun Xiaojian reminded in a low voice: “This is a famous flower-hearted radish. Be careful, if he hints that he will take you to play or get together in private, you will find a way to refuse.”

Lu Wen kept swiping the screen, it seemed that he only remembered half of it, he said impatiently: ” Why so much? It’s longer than my family’s family tree.”

Sun Xiaojian coaxed: “When you play a minor supporting role, do you say hello? After the play, there is no chance to get in front of the leading role. You are now the male lead, potential stock, To know them properly, of course, you must seize the opportunity.”

“As for why there are so many people.” Sun Xiaojian paused, “Because you are the eighteenth line, and the first to the seventeenth line are in front, so it’s strange that there are not many people.

” After the actors, there is a string of directors, producers and producers behind. These people are even more precious. When they see them, they have to laugh, bow, and flatter them sweetly. They should be taken seriously for the authoritative type, literary and artistic for the talented type, and three-way down for the rogue type.

Lu Wen said with emotion: “Why do I feel like being a male protagonist, and still such a grandson?”

Sun Xiaojian replied to him with a wise saying: “You are not popular, you are surrounded by grandfathers. When you are popular, they are all grandchildren.” The

previous expectations cooled down slightly, and Lu Wenchong glanced at the banquet hall two steps away. The banquet had already started, and it was full of colors, but to him it was more like a scumbag going to the exam room. Sun Xiaojian

urged: “Let’s go, go in and say hello to Teacher Tao first.”

Lu Wen stepped at the door but hesitated: “I… go to the bathroom first.”

Stopped securely at the door. Director Liu waited for a long time, came up to meet him, and opened the door himself.

Qu Yanting got out of the car, the lights like fire shone on the black suit, like the night sky full of stars.

He was glad that it wasn’t the first time they met, otherwise, if they shook hands, the other party would find that his palm was too wet.

Along the way, he expected to encounter a serious traffic jam or a red light all the way, but the driving was smooth, and every time the driver said “coming soon”, he would secretly get nervous.

Entering the elevator, Director Liu said, ”

Qubian, I’ll be waiting for you.” Qu Yanting replied, “I’m going out late.”

“It’s okay, the banquet has just started.” Director Liu said, “The actors are arranged in the banquet hall, and we are in the box.

Qu Yanting asked, “Who is there?” Director

Liu replied, “The director team and the production team are all there, and there are five people in the co-producer. Among them, Mr. Zhou, the leader of Haoyang Culture, is also here. He heard that you will be there. I came here specially to attend.”

Qu Yanting nodded, the elevator door opened, and he followed Director Liu toward the box.

There was no one in the corridor, the door of the box was closed, and there were two waiters standing at the door. Director Liu stepped aside and said, “Qu Bian, it’s here.” Qu

Yanting stood still and lowered his hands calmly, pressing his thumb nails on the pulp of his index finger. Just as the waiter opened the door, he rolled his Adam’s apple.

“I’m sorry, I want to go to the bathroom.”

Qu Yanting still looked good and walked neatly, but he knew that he was running away. He is tired of socializing and socializing, and all social situations make him uncomfortable, even nervous and anxious.

The bathroom is at the end of the hallway, like a hidden refuge.

Qu Yanting pushed open the door and walked in. The outer powder room is empty, with a ring of wall lamps embedded in the dark marble wall, the cold light is as bright as day, and the geometrically cut mirror hangs over the dresser.

He walked to the sink, bent down slightly, and let the water wash off the sweat from his palms.

Not long after, footsteps were heard from inside.

Qu Yanting raised his head suddenly, looked over in the mirror, and stopped his gaze.

Lu Wen came out of the room and stopped beside a vase.

Unlike yesterday’s casual clothes, he was wearing a walnut-colored shirt, very white, with two loose buttons at the collar, revealing the triangle between the neck and the chest more or less. Wearing a walnut bracelet from the Voyager collection on the wrist. The outside was a safari-style jacket with embroidered totem piping that just protected the waist and extended the legs. On his feet, he was wearing a pair of derby shoes of the same color as his trousers.

Qu Yanting seldom pays attention to other people’s clothes, so he can’t help but look at Lu Wen. If he is going to a funeral, Lu Wen is probably going to attend the wedding, and he wants to overwhelm the groom.

Lu Wen rubbed the ground with the sole of his shoe, raised his leg and walked over, standing next to Qu Yanting.

He took the initiative to say hello last night but hit a wall. He didn’t want to pay attention to this cold man, but Qu Yanting looked at him frankly.

Lu Wen looked back in the mirror and said, “Why do I have such a relationship with you?”

The author has something to say: Qu Yanting: It’s starting again.
