Chapter 7: Is it related to the rich woman? Du Sheng was just about to take the bus back when a message came.[Director Zhang Zhizong is the chief producer of this drama. Someone will contact you tomorrow to find out the details. Be prepared! ] Du Sheng perked up slightly. This was a message from Fan Bingbing's assistant. "The Jin Yong adaptation drama that is being prepared, Zhang Zhizong is still the producer! Currently there is only one: "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"! Although Du Sheng had some guesses before, he still couldn't contain his excitement. Martial arts adaptations are all the rage right now. If the historical context does not change much, the version of "Tian Long" to be filmed will most likely correspond to the version with the highest reviews. From costumes and props to filming actors, all aspects are leaders in the industry. Even investment is now of the highest standard. In order to achieve a realistic feel, they spent tens of millions of dollars to build a Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils Film and Television City, which is a huge investment. Although he has been in the industry for so long, Du Sheng has never participated in a drama of such high standard.
This time, I have the opportunity to participate in the performance myself! He couldn't help but sigh that there was really no solution to the problem of fate. Just like Huang Baoqiang, who also came from a humble background, was directly chosen by the director to play the leading role. But it wasn't a bad start. I wonder which role I finally auditioned for? The iron triangle of Qiao Feng, Duan Yu, and Xu Zhu... That's a no-brainer. Even supporting characters like You Tanzhi and the four evil men probably have a hard time. After all, the investment is so huge, and Zhang Zhizong, who has adapted many successful films, is the producer. I wonder how many people in the circle are watching him. "The opportunity is here, but if I want to succeed in the audition, it seems I still need to do some preparation." Du Sheng is very aware of his disadvantages. My adoptive father is still in a nursing home and can't help. But he has a golden finger, so his acting skills are not a problem, all he lacks is a performance. As long as it can be reversed, this contrast may be a reflection of value. For example, for the same supporting role, the pay for hiring him and a second-tier artist is very different. Investors had already complained about Zhang Zhizong's extravagant spending... In addition, Du Sheng can also make efforts from the investment side. For example, the rich woman I met tonight! Speaking of which, the two sides had some close (car body) contact at the beginning of the year. This is also a kind of fate! If there is no opportunity, then create it yourself. Du Sheng was originally thinking about whether he should play a role to gain some skills. But when I thought about the low reward and the waste of annual opportunities, I gave up.
Even if you don’t use up all your annual quota in the future, you can wait until your status improves and make a guest appearance, so you can gain more that way. "Where are you going, dressed like this?" The next day, Wang Yaoyang got up yawning and saw that his roommate not only got up early, but was also dressed in formal clothes, looking like a street insurance seller. He stayed up late last night playing the role of a guard and was feeling a little run down. Du Sheng brushed off his dusty leather shoes and said without raising his head: "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable, so I want to go see a rich woman." Wang Yaoyang: “…” Damn, this is such a critical hit! He was very envious of his roommate's height and looks. If he had such conditions, he would have been living a life of luxury long ago. Why would he have to suffer in Hengdian? Marrying into the wife's family is very popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It seems that this kid has come to his senses. "Brother Sheng! If you still have resources, can you take me with you?" Wang Yaoyang even changed his address and said excitedly: "Thirty-something is fine, forty-something is fine, as long as they're not fat and thick!" He knew very well that if they, who had no background or support, wanted to accumulate capital quickly, they could only take shortcuts. He still has self-knowledge and can't handle being too strong. Du Sheng glanced at his appearance as a migrant worker and thought about it: "A rich woman is going to celebrate her 60th birthday in a few days and she needs someone to support her. Do you want to go?" Wang Yaoyang looked like he had lost all hope in life, but he still gritted his teeth and struggled: "Can I add my name to my household registration?" If I could add my name, it wouldn't be a problem. After all, salted fish also have dreams. It’s the same as before, but of course you’ll choose a more comfortable posture. Maybe we can achieve our goal in less than ten years. Du Sheng fixed his hair, ready to go all out, and responded casually: "You continue to sleep, maybe good things will come in pairs." If he hadn't just acquired a special skill, he wouldn't dare to take such a risk. How could you be so worthy of his title? Wang Yaoyang sighed, knowing that he would never get such a good thing, so he simply covered his head and continued to sleep. Unexpectedly, just as Du Sheng went out and had no time to go to Zhongyao Pictures, an unexpected phone call came in. Wang Yaoyang saw that he had a strange look on his face and put down the phone. He thought that he would die before he could accomplish his mission, so he couldn't help laughing and comforted him: "Don't be discouraged! She's just a rich woman. If you lower your standards a bit, you still have a lot of choices." Seeing that even a little dude like Du Sheng was not taken seriously by the rich woman, Wang Yaoyang finally calmed down and became cheerful again.
But before he could finish eating the melon, Du Sheng's light words directly broke his defense. "The director asked his assistant to send me the script and asked me to polish it carefully. It seems that it is not appropriate to look for a rich woman for the time being." Du Sheng looked at his outfit and felt a little regretful that he would not be able to use it anymore. "The director sent you a script!?" Wang Yaoyang sat up excitedly: "Which crew?" "This is a drama produced by Zhang Da Huzi." "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils!" Wang Yaoyang was shocked, his eyes widened: "Fuck! What kind of shitty luck do you have?" "Tian Long" is the most anticipated drama in the circle this year, how could he not know about it. How could someone who gets a script from a director be a minor character? This is a step-by-step process to success! It's incredible. Wang Yaoyang's expression of envy and jealousy was so utterly dumbfounded that it was not enough to describe it. They all started out as stunt doubles. He had recently secured a promising role and was feeling pretty smug about it. At this moment, he was hit directly on the head. It turns out that the gap between people is really that big! "It's just an audition, why are you so excited?" Du Sheng's face was indifferent and his mentality was calm. After all, the audition is the real test. "How can I not be excited? This is destined to be a hit drama! As long as I can play a role, my future will be limitless." Wang Yaoyang's chest heaved, and he obviously still found it difficult to accept this fact. Is this going to be another Wang Baoqiang? When he thought about the fact that there was only a two-letter difference between him and Wang Baoqiang, he became even more uneasy. "Let's go, or we'll keep you waiting." Du Sheng ignored Wang Yaoyang's surprise and turned to walk out. Come to think of it, he was also a little surprised. Ju Jueliang actually sent someone to find me. Although this director's name is a bit difficult to pronounce, anyone who has been in the industry in his previous life knows that he wasted a few years after returning from Hong Kong, and then he became unstoppable and even won the Magnolia Award for Best Director.
The biggest change was a suggestion made by Jin Yong when choosing the director of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" last year. If there is no change in the follow-up, the other party will also direct costume blockbusters such as "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", "Against the Cold", and "Outlaws of the Marsh". Du Sheng suddenly remembered the scene when Ju Jueliang and Zhong Zhen appeared in the bar last night... 'Is it related to this rich woman?' (End of this chapter)
