Chapter 219: Shen Lang is acting like a big shot?
At this time, Cao Kun and Sun Honglei returned to the monitor after rehearsing the play.

As soon as he came down, Sun Honglei praised Cao Kun's acting skills and said, "Xiao Cao is very talented in acting. I guess he was too nervous the first time. This time he really impressed me!"

"You don't know, I sat opposite him and watched him talk endlessly about money with his eyes shining. It was so detailed!"

"Very good!" Sun Honglei said, and emphasized it again.

Hearing this, Cao Kun rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "It was Teacher Shen who gave me the advice."

"Tell me quickly, how did Teacher Shen teach you?"

"Teacher Shen..."

Before Cao Kun finished speaking, Shen Lang laughed and said, "I didn't give him any pointers at all. It was indeed Xiao Cao who had a lot of talent. The way he walked in, the tone of his conversation, his eyes, and his movements were all improvised by him!"

Everyone looked at Cao Kun in amazement. He is great. This young actor has a promising future.

Upon hearing this, Cao Kun looked at Shen Lang with emotion, and Shen Lang smiled at him!
"Xiao Cao played the stuttering role so well. It was so funny. He stuttered when talking about other things, but spoke very smoothly when talking about money!" Sun Honglei laughed.

Cao Kun then said: "This is what Teacher Shen taught me. He said that if you want the audience to remember a character, there are also techniques, but this technique cannot be forced in. It must be natural, highlighting the character while not making the audience feel abrupt."

"Teacher Shen said that my stuttering when I was nervous just now was very good, and asked me to use it in the play!"

Hearing this, Sun Honglei turned around and gave Shen Lang a thumbs up, saying, "Teacher Shen, I am really impressed. You can't be partial. You have to give us some ideas for our roles!"

"Yes, Mr. Shen!"

"Teacher Shen, can you see if there is anything that can be improved about my character?"

……

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Director Jiang's design for your roles is already perfect enough."

"For example, Honglei, your Yu Zecheng may seem simple and honest, but he is actually wise and steady, and he speaks slowly and methodically! This is obviously the unique character trait that Director Jiang designed for you!"

At this point, Shen Lang turned to look at Jiang Wei: "Director, am I right?"

Jiang Wei smiled slightly, with a hint of pretense on his face: "Yeah!"

“The director is amazing too!”

"That's right, our Director Jiang is the best director of spy movies in China, and this reputation is definitely not for nothing!"

The colorful sedan is carried by everyone. You give me face, and I give you face. Isn't the atmosphere harmonious?

Jiang Wei had never seen an actor as capable and worry-free as Shen Lang.

The unpleasantness that had arisen with my old friend Long Yi because of my cooperation with him was no longer worth mentioning.

Seeing everyone forming a circle and flattering each other, the usually noble Lin Su sneered in his heart, thinking that these people were really ridiculous.

However, when he saw everyone praising the newcomer Cao Kun again, he inexplicably felt a sense of jealousy in his heart.

Originally, these words of praise should have belonged to him, but who would have thought that such good things would happen to this man named Cao.

He had just read the script. Originally, Xie Ruolin was just an ordinary supporting role. Although he had some parts, he was not outstanding.

Who would have known that after he turned down the role, Shen Lang would write Xie Ruolin into a golden supporting actor with many golden lines.

What the hell is this called?

Originally, I wanted to take advantage of Cao Kun's nervousness and poor acting skills to make amends.

Who would have thought that after Shen Lang pulled the man surnamed Cao out, in just a short while, the man surnamed Cao came back like a changed person.

Lin Su felt as if he had eaten a fly. The laughter of the people in front of him seemed like a mockery, making him, an outsider, extremely embarrassed.

Looking at his wife Yao Cheng, she was standing in the crowd, flattering Cao Kun, Jiang Wei and Shen Lang with everyone else, without considering his feelings at all.

This scene made Lin Su even more unhappy, and she just turned her face away and left.

Yao Cheng's agent hurriedly chased after him upon seeing this: "Teacher Lin, Teacher Lin..."

When she shouted, everyone turned to look.

When Yao Cheng saw that Lin Su had just left without saying goodbye, the smile on his face disappeared immediately. Wang Gang said, "Xiao Yao, go out and see your husband."

Yao Cheng snorted coldly: "Don't bother with him, he's always like this."

Everyone was silent.

I am also speechless about this couple.

The woman's career has been booming in recent years, while the man's has been lukewarm.

But the man is still a bit chauvinistic and has high expectations but low skills. At this time, the woman is also stubborn. How can this family live?
No wonder there have been rumors in the circle that these two are just a "couple in name only". In fact, they both have a lot of fun outside.

It’s a pity that this relationship that started in college is gone. It seems that these two people won’t be able to last forever.

But in the entertainment industry, there are so many people, and everyone is used to this kind of thing.

……

The script has been significantly revised, so it is definitely not possible to shoot it directly.

Jiang Wei then submitted the script to the Film Bureau, where he was registered, for review.

However, the director had a very good relationship with the Tianjin Film Bureau, and there were no problems with the revised script. Soon, the new script was filed again and entered the filming stage.

Shen Lang's role was arranged by the crew to be at the end, so during this period of time, he has been busy supervising the filming of the short drama at Penguin Pictures.

By the time I joined the crew again three months later, most of the scenes for "The Disguiser" had already been filmed.

However, some things happened during this period. When Shen Lang joined the group, Jiang Wei and everyone else looked at him with concern.

"Teacher Shen, don't take Teacher Long's words to heart! I know him, he is a man with a sharp tongue. After the TV series is broadcast, he will naturally understand!" Jiang Wei advised.

It turned out that during this period of time, Long Yi had been staying in the crew of "Borrowing a Gun". Jiang Wei called him several times to try to ease his emotions, but he always retorted with words.

Later, he met a reporter interviewing the crew of "Borrowing a Gun", and he was interviewed together with the director of "Borrowing a Gun" Fu Wei.

During the interview, in front of the media cameras, Long Yi did not give any face to his old friend Jiang Wei at all.

"Jiang Wei is a man without principles. As the original author, I have worked with him many times. I know his screenwriting ability, and his adapted scripts have always been well-liked by the audience."

"But once actor Shen Lang joined the crew, everything changed!"

"Oh? Teacher Long, what happened after Shen Lang joined the group?"

"What happened? You were yelling and complaining about this part of the script, saying it's not good, and you're being a big shot and wanting to add more scenes for yourself. What else can you do?"

When the reporter heard about the gossip, he immediately became excited: "Can you tell me more about it?"

"It's Jiang Wei. He has no bottom line at all in order to get Shen Lang to participate in "The Hidden". As soon as Shen Lang joined the crew, he started to make suggestions on the script and said that it needed major changes..."

"Major changes? Didn't the script have to be written before the actors were found? How could there be enough time for major changes?"

Long Yi snorted coldly: "I have no objection to changing the script, but this actor named Shen Lang, relying on his recent popularity, not only asked to add more scenes to the role he plays, but also to modify the personality of his character in the original work and the script."

"This, this is not good, right? Director Fu, what do you think?"

Fu Wei laughed and said, "I think that as a director, you have to stick to your bottom line. If a big-name star comes and asks for more scenes, wouldn't the script be completely changed in the end?"

"Such an actor is disrespectful to the director, the cast and crew, and the original author of the script."

"No matter how big an actor he is, I will never work with him."

The reporter quickly confirmed: "You mean, you don't want to work with an actor like Shen Lang?"

Fu Wei said: "That's right. Compared to Shen Lang, I like the actor who plays the role of Xiong Kuohai in our movie more - Zhang Jiayi. He is humble and low-key, and he is a good actor."

The reporter quickly wrote down in his notebook: "Shen Lang is acting like a big shot. Fu Wei and Long Yi think he is not a good actor!"
