Chapter 284 Huang Bo's Performance

"Is there? Is there? There is definitely room for appreciation. I tell you!"

In order to show his momentum, Xu Zheng waved the hand holding the mobile phone downwards.

At this time, he turned his head and found the salesman Xiao Lu following behind him: "Xiao Lu, what are you doing? Can you please stop standing behind me and mourning for me? Go make a cup of coffee, please?"

The crowd burst into laughter again.

If Huang Bai's performance is anything to go by, it's pretty good so far.

Then Xu Zheng's acting skills are simply explosive.

In comparison, the gap between old actors and new actors is revealed.

Although Huang Bai's emotions were connected twice, he just remained silent and obedient, without showing any big emotional fluctuations.

But his body was obviously not as relaxed as Xu Zheng, and his expression was a little serious, but not the kind of seriousness that the plot required.

Therefore, everyone's attention was on Xu Zheng, and they completely forgot that this play was mainly testing the new actor Huang Bai.

But Shen Lang kept staring at Huang Bai and shook his head slightly.

This situation is not right.

Not only him, but also Ning Hao, Peng Mo and others are all old members of the crew.

Everyone can tell at a glance whether an actor is in good condition.

Although Huang Bai was not bad at this time, he was definitely not worthy of being signed by Shen Lang.

Following the script, at this time, Huang Bai's first "supporting role" appeared.

Shen Lang opened the script early and read this part. He saw that it said: "Raise doubts about the cemetery and be prepared to bargain!"

Huang Bai said, "Manager, this place of yours is not good. How about you pick a good one for me for 18,000 yuan?"

After he finished speaking, some people present nodded, while others shook their heads.

The nodding point of view is that, as a newcomer, Huang Bo's performance is quite good. The content that was created on the spur of the moment when there was something not written in the script does fit the image of an apprentice who is financially constrained but wants to buy a good cemetery for his master.

Those who shook their heads believed that compared with Xu Zheng, this response was not perfect for a movie protagonist.

“Underground CBD is the back garden of life.”

"Xiao Lu, could you please stop standing behind me and mourn for me and go make me a cup of coffee!"

Although, in order to highlight the character, Ning Hao and others had written these long dialogues for Xu Zheng.

But such good lines are coupled with such dry bargaining.

This is really a bit... lame!
"stop!"

Before Shen Lang could even open his mouth, Ning Hao called a halt!

No one knew why the director suddenly shouted "Stop", and everyone looked at Ning Hao.

At this time, Ning Hao said to Shen Lang: "It's my fault. The new actors are still nervous. At this time, we need to reduce the space for them to perform freely."

Peng Mo also nodded: "Let's discuss how to fill in the details and then re-enact it?"

Shen Lang was also thinking about this question while holding his chin.

For new actors, the rule is to chew the food thoroughly before feeding it into their mouths.

This is how all the big names came to be.

Some actors can't even remember their lines, let alone improvise.

According to this standard, Huang Bo's performance and attitude are already among the best among new actors.

But is it enough for the actors he signs to just have a good attitude?
Wang Baoqiang has a good attitude because he is not from a professional background. Shen Lang’s requirement for him is to let him grow slowly.

But you, Huang Bai, can't do that. You graduated from the best film academy in China, and you must have taken many acting classes.

Moreover, after so many years of working after graduation, I have accumulated enough social experience.

You shouldn't be able to respond to this sentence so dryly.

This is not your ability or level.

and so……

At this time, Huang Bai looked at the director team with trepidation.

Seeing Shen Lang and the other two whispering and looking at him again, it went without saying that he was the one with the problem again.

However, there were clearly no lines here, and he felt that his performance was quite quick-witted in such a tense situation, so why were the directors still not satisfied? What are the directors' standards?
……

A moment later, Shen Lang and Huang Bai stood outside.

"What do you think is the criterion for whether the director is satisfied with your lines?" Shen Lang also asked this question.

Huang Bo said: "It's great to be able to play with Teacher Xu. It makes the plot more interesting!"

Shen Lang smiled: "Too official!"

"Official? Senior brother, what do you mean?"

Shen Lang touched his chin and said, "Think about it, if you go to buy a house and meet a sales lady, do you bargain directly? There is such a situation, but what is the sales lady's next reaction?"

"I will definitely continue to promote the benefits of the property and tug at you!"

Shen Lang glanced at Huang Bai and praised him, "Very smart!"

Huang Bai smiled, but then his face fell again.

"So, if you want to bargain, that's the normal reaction of a home buyer, but the subsequent lines will enter an infinite loop of tug-of-war!"

"What should we do?"

"What do you think? Suppose you were the home buyer!"

Huang Bo thought for a moment and shook his head: "When I buy a house, I bargain first, then find faults, and then bargain again!"

"This is a movie, make it shorter!"

"So, picking on others?"

"Ok!"

"It's that simple?"

"Acting is not difficult!" Shen Lang smiled.

Huang Bai also laughed.

Shen Lang patted his shoulder and said, "Relax, you are a consumer, and you seem to be more nervous than the manager Xu Zheng."

“Think about your character’s current situation!”

"I wanted to buy a better cemetery with the money, but I was short of money! In the end, I decided to sell the truck to give the master a grand funeral! The ups and downs of emotions... Think about it!"

Huang Bai stayed there for a while before nodding to Shen Lang: "I understand!"

"Okay, let's try again!"

As soon as he entered the room, Peng Mo came in with a script and said, "Xiao Huang, how about this, for this line, you can just say [……]"

Before Peng Mo finished speaking, Shen Lang interrupted him and said, "We'll talk about your plan later. Huang Bai also has his own plan. Let's perform a segment first to see how it works! How do you think it works?"

Peng Mo was surprised and asked, "What about the rest of the lines? Are they all OK?"

Huang Bai nodded: "Teacher Peng, I'll try!"

……

Start again.

"Xiao Lu, what are you doing? Can you please..."

While Xu Zheng was talking, Huang Bai suddenly moved. He leaned over the table, using it as a real estate project, and pointed at the graves among them, seemingly selecting one.

"Hey? They are all in the shade!" Huang Bai spoke directly in his hometown's dialect.

It has to be said that dialect is the best lubricant for comedy.

Just three words, very ordinary lines, but after being embellished with actions and language, the flavor immediately comes out.

"Hey, what did you say when you went out? This little smell came up all of a sudden!"

"Teacher Shen is really resourceful. He didn't know what was going on outside, but the fake Huang acted much more naturally! Very proper!"

Xu Zheng was slightly stunned, but quickly continued: "Let me tell you, you have a very professional eye! You can see the problem at a glance, please look here!" At this point, he took out a small stick and pointed at the cemetery.

"Rare and sunny luxury house, double bathroom and large living room structure, duplex design, only one left!"

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Huang Bai did not laugh. With his lion-like hairstyle, he asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Is this a duplex structure?"

"Sorry, we are going to the next floor, okay?"

“Hahahahahahaha………………”

"Fuck, this is amazing!"

"Teacher Xu is so awesome. This sudden inspiration is so funny!"

Ning Hao also laughed.

This sentence was not originally in the script.

Huang Bo just repeated the question casually.

However, Xu Zheng was too smart and went to the duplex on the next floor.

Huang Bo inadvertently brought another big laugh to the scene.

This scene mainly highlights Xu Zheng, so Huang Bai inadvertently gave Xu Zheng a thumbs up.

Xu Zheng was also a little excited when he said such funny lines.

The whole person's condition suddenly improved.

"It's only 60,000 yuan, and it comes with luxurious decoration."

The more they talk, the more outrageous it becomes. But, isn't black humor all about people talking nonsense in a serious manner?
This contrast made the audience burst out laughing!
At this moment, a staff member suddenly shouted: "Get going."

The song "Only Mom is Good in the World", which had been arranged long ago, began to play.

However, when the voice was heard, no family member appeared in front of everyone holding the urn and crying. This was just a rehearsal, and of course it was impossible to make such a big fuss.

Shen Lang looked at Huang Bai and Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng looked very pleased with himself, as if he was proud of the ceremony that did not exist before his eyes.

Huang Bai was completely confused, staring at the non-existent funeral procession from inside the house to the door.

"It's interesting!"

"Xiao Huang's performance is here!"

"..."

"This is the latest service project launched by our property management company - Eighteen Farewells! It's all black, and it looks like a gang! Is there any, is there any!"

Everyone looked at Huang Bai in front of Xu Zheng again. Under his sexy stubble, his mouth was slightly open... He was completely stunned.

At this moment, Huang Bo's expression seemed to be saying, "Fuck, can you do this?"

Xu Zheng's sales pitch coupled with Huang Bai's "inexperienced" expression, the emotional connection is amazing!

"What we want is the atmosphere, absolute solemnity, absolute momentum, setting up the mourning hall, sending paper money, and a one-stop funeral service, a one-stop service!"

"Such great service, I work here every day, I wish I could have one myself!"

"Pfft..."

"Hahaha!"

"I was laughed at!"

“This line is absolutely amazing.”

"Look at Huang Bo's performance, his lower lip is retracted, and his tongue is pressed against it. This is the expression I make every time I go shopping and feel anxious or don't have enough money!"

"Fuck, me too!"

"This guy has a keen eye for detail!"

Ning Hao also noticed Huang Bai's little action. It was this insignificant little action that explained a lot of problems.

This shows that Huang Bai has now completely relaxed!
This shows that Huang Bo is already thinking about the plot of the script!

This shows that Huang Bai has caught up with the acting of veteran actor Xu Zheng!
"It's not easy!" Ning Hao let out a sigh, not knowing what he wanted to say.

At this time, the supporting actress Xiao Lu came over with a cup: "Coffee!"

Xu Zheng, who was already "intoxicated", said directly: "Xiao Lu, can you please use your brain when doing things? What are you doing for me? For the clients!"

When Huang Bai took the coffee, he [dared not] look up at the sweet-looking Xiao Lu. He only saw him slightly bending his body and coughing uncomfortably before he took it!

"Fuck, this detail!"

"A pure loser! This detail really brings Geng Hao's character to life!"

"Awesome, this Huang Bai is really something!"

"This is the humility tempered by life! Just like when I go to KTV, I never dare to look at the girls with 1288, it's the same principle!"

"Fuck, 1288? Is this the price now? Is it inlaid with diamonds? So it's so expensive?"

"Hey, man, you don't still think that fifty dollars can solve all problems now? You have to consider inflation and exchange rates!"

……

Xu Zheng looked at Huang Bai with gleaming eyes: "Have you made up your mind? Do you want a set?"

"Ahem! Um!" Huang Bo scratched his head awkwardly, "Do you have any more, cheaper ones?"

"Oh, I'm sorry for saying so much!" Xu Zheng said impatiently, "We are the CBD of the cemetery. If you don't have money, you can consider..."

Xu Zheng took the coffee from Huang Bai and pretended to take a sip: "Please go to the temple to make offerings!"

Before this, Huang Bai's expression was awkward and embarrassed, and he couldn't raise his head, just like me walking into a luxury store wearing a T-shirt with a worn collar.

However, after Xu Zheng said this, Huang Bai got angry for the first time during the performance.

"Hey, how can you see that I have no money?"

……

This play ends here.

Everyone at the scene looked at the two with lingering interest.

"Go on, go on!"

“Hahaha, can we also perform the next scene of buying the cemetery? Teacher Xu performed it so well. It was so enjoyable to watch the live version!”

"Huang Bo's acting was also very good! That look, that island dialect, ah... do you think Huang Bo's temperament is very similar to Mr. Shen's temperament in Crazy Stone?"

"Fuck, I really wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't told me! It's true!"

"And both of them speak the island city dialect?"

"By the way, does Teacher Shen have any special feelings for the island city?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, maybe Teacher Shen is in Island City... um, that, haha!"

"That's possible. Those old pervert characters he plays all have lives!"

……

When Huang Bai and Xu Zheng heard the director call for stop, they both relaxed.

By the time the two of them walked up to the directors, they were all sweating profusely.

I have to say that it is very tiring to devote your whole self to the script.

Xu Zheng wiped his sweat off his forehead and turned to Huang Bai and said, "Xiao Huang's acting is really good. Your change before and after is too big. I almost couldn't catch your words later!"

Huang Bo said embarrassedly: "I just thought of Mr. Shen's role as Hei Pi in Crazy Stone. I have watched this movie countless times, and I have imitated every move of Mr. Shen in the movie."

"Just now I suddenly thought of the plot in the movie, so I couldn't help but speak in the island city dialect! Director, is this okay?"

Ning Hao patted Huang Bo's shoulder happily and said, "Sure, that's great. Just keep acting like this, no problem!"

After the two of them left, Peng Mo said to Ning Hao, "Director Ning, if this continues, we will all have to work for Gu Shen's company!"

"Why not Shen Gu?"

The two of them looked at him with the same glare, you are a guy who relies on his pretty face to get to the top!

Anyone with a bit of self-awareness wouldn't ask this question!
The three of them smiled at each other, and the small gap between them seemed to be slowly loosening!
