Chapter 215 The audition has entered garbage time
In fact, director Jiang Wei saw everything that happened when Yao Cheng handed the thermos cup to Shen Lang.

Seeing Yao Cheng hurriedly going to pick up her husband Lin Su, he came to Shen Lang and said, "Originally, Yao Cheng recommended her husband Lin Su to play the role of Xie Ruolin."

"But after Lin Su read the script, he probably felt that his wife was the lead actress and he was just a supporting role, so he finally refused!"

Shen Lang glanced at Jiang Wei and said with a smile: "That's a pity!"

Jiang Wei said meaningfully: "It's really a pity!"

Shen Lang smiled: "Director, I was talking about roles, and you were talking about marriage?"

Jiang Wei spread his hands and said, "No, I was also talking about the role."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

However, this incident was just a minor episode and neither of them took it to heart.

Jiang Wei asked Shen Lang for his opinion: "Teacher Shen, which scene should we try?"

Shen Lang thought about it.

This scene is meant to show what the new look of Wu Jingzhong is after his major transformation.

We also have to take into account the scenes where the protagonist Yu Zecheng plays with him.

So, in the end, Shen Lang said: "Let's talk about Yu Zecheng's recent transfer to Tianjin Station."

"The director can also take a look at the lines that Honglei and I have revised."

Jiang Wei nodded: "You have also made quite a lot of changes to the character of Xie Ruolin. So, there are two scenes in total. One is what you said, and the other one will be studied later!"

Shen Lang nodded and went downstairs to put on makeup.

Li Qiu had been waiting in the dressing room. When she saw Shen Lang, she quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Teacher Shen, since I met you, I have received many job offers. Thank you so much."

Shen Lang laughed and said, "That's all because of Teacher Li's good skills. Without you, I really wouldn't be able to take on so many roles!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After Shen Lang sat down, Li Qiu said, "Teacher Shen, the character of Wu Jingzhong this time is older, what do you think?"

"Shave your head, and get a wig. I want a wig that will move your hairline back. As for the rest, I want to look a little more muscular, but not too thin..."

"..."

Shen Lang explained for about ten minutes.

Li Qiu has read the script, so he has his own understanding of the character Wu Jingzhong in the script.

After listening to Shen Lang's description, Li Qiu sighed: "Teacher Shen, my mind is suddenly much clearer after you said that! Okay, I'll do as you say."

When Shen Lang walked out of the dressing room, no one at the scene recognized him at first.

It was not until Shen Lang stood beside Sun Honglei and watched him recite his lines for a long time that Sun Honglei asked in surprise: "Shen, Teacher Shen? How did you become like this?"

When the people around heard Sun Honglei's surprised voice and turned around, they found that, wow, this is Shen Lang?
At this moment, Shen Lang looked two times more muscular than before. He wore a loose camel-colored Zhongshan suit, and his face was slightly dark with a hint of redness. The most exaggerated thing was his hairstyle.

The hair is parted 20:80, with the right side of the hair falling back neatly. The hairline in the middle is extremely shiny. I don't know what tricks the makeup artist used, but it looks exactly like he is really bald.

Jiang Wei looked Shen Lang up and down several times. Seeing that even the bags under his eyes and the wrinkles around his ears were lifelike, he couldn't help but sighed, "Teacher Shen, is this what Teacher Li Qiu drew?"

"Yes!"

"Oh my, it's amazing! They say that Teacher Li's makeup is the best in the industry, and it's absolutely true!"

The most exaggerated thing, and the thing that puzzles everyone the most, is Shen Lang’s skin.

The roughness and vicissitudes of life that are unique to the skin of middle-aged and elderly people are really...

No one knew how to describe it at this point.

"Amazing skills!"

"What a skill!" Shen Lang said with a smile: "Then let's get started? Honglei, your lines..."

"no problem!"

……

Jiang Wei has a habit. When he is filming, he likes to stay next to the monitor, and all his ideas are conveyed through the female assistant director who appeared in the conference room before.

But today, for the first time ever, he stood next to the monitor, staring at Shen Lang who was sitting at his desk.

"start!"

"Report to the stationmaster, Major Yu Zecheng, director of the confidential room, reports in!" Sun Honglei, wearing a national army uniform and glasses, stood at the door with a serious face and saluted.

After reading it, Jiang Wei immediately turned to look at Shen Lang: "Move the camera forward to capture the facial details."

The soft light from the reflector illuminates the dim room.

Shen Lang's slightly sparse hairline became even thinner under the influence of light. Although his scalp was not exposed, combined with the wrinkles on his forehead, he really looked like he was in his fifties or sixties.

At this time, Shen Lang's lips curved slightly, and the smile on his face pushed his apple cheeks upwards so much that his eye bags seemed to have wrinkles.

Jiang Wei sighed in his heart: "This makeup is so impressive."

"Hey, you're here! Hahaha, come on, sit down, sit down!" Shen Lang stood up and walked towards Sun Honglei at the door.

At this moment, the villain with advanced acting skills and the "Old Fox" in his mind shone at the same time.

The lines in the script flashed back in his mind. Lao Lu automatically analyzed the lines, and what was fed back to Shen Lang's mind was no longer entirely a spy war drama, but clearly a workplace drama.

After the two met, Sun Honglei and Shen Lang walked towards the sofa one after the other.

As Shen Lang walked, he sighed, "Time is like a wild donkey, it never stops once it starts running!"

No matter how fast time flies or how fleeting it is, nothing is as vivid as the description that time is like a wild donkey.

At this moment, not only did Sun Honglei no longer feel the nervousness he had just experienced after hearing these words, but all the staff and actors present felt that Wu Jingzhong was actually a kind old leader in their lives.

Stationmaster Wu continued his humor: "You have wrinkles, just like my prostate which is always rebelling."

It was clearly a lament about the aging of the two people, but when Stationmaster Wu lamented, it sounded like a bunch of physiological problems involving shit and piss and fart.

This kind of expression instantly brought everyone into the play.

"Stationmaster Wu is a very pragmatic person."

"Stationmaster Wu is emphasizing that he is old, and the future work will be handed over to [Yu Zecheng]!"

"Teacher Shen made a simple greeting so interesting! No wonder he was poached by Penguin Pictures!"

……

Next, it was Sun Honglei’s turn to show Yu Zecheng’s worldly wisdom.

"You look very well!" He opened his bag and took out a package. "I know you like these things. I collected them from my hometown. They are night-shining pearls, said to be from the Song Dynasty."

At this moment, Wu Jingzhong did not show the clichéd smile when accepting gifts in previous TV dramas.

Instead, he seemed to be recalling something, lowering his eyebrows and asking, "How come there is such a rare livelihood in your hometown?"

Seeing this, Jiang Wei said to the assistant director and Wang Gang beside him: "Teacher Shen's words and acting skills are really impeccable!"

The assistant director smiled and said, "Mr. Shen's acting is so calm and yet gives people an extremely real feeling. If it weren't for the room full of people, I would really feel like I was in the scene of the conversation between the two."

Wang Gang said: "The lines are also amazing. Stationmaster Wu is a veteran after all. He was not straightforward when accepting gifts. The so-called questioning about the origin of the night pearls actually easily covered up the [embarrassment] of accepting gifts."

Seeing this, everyone already knew that the so-called audition had entered garbage time.

Shen Lang's performance and the revised script - impeccable!
