Chapter 290 What truth is Mr. Shen talking about?
While Huang Bai was successful, Shen Lang gradually became the protagonist of the topic in the subsequent discussions.
"Shen Lang, the most amazing talent scout in the Chinese film and television industry!"
"Does Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo's success rely on their acting skills or Shen Lang's connections?"
"The secret to the success of Jialan Films...Shen Lang!"
……
Some people dug up how Huang Bo became associated with the crew.
Some people speculated that he was a relative of Zhang Guoli, and Shen Lang gave up the role of Geng Hao for Zhang Guoli's face.
Some people even speculate that Wang Baoqiang is a grassroots actor who originated from a migrant worker family, but in fact it is all packaging.
Wang Baoqiang’s real identity is the illegitimate son of a certain big boss.
The news became more and more outrageous.
Because of discovering these two people, Shen Lang has become a well-known actor broker in the film and television industry, specializing in packaging actors for the bigwigs.
However, after Wang Baoqiang's coach at the martial arts school appeared in front of the camera and reporters went to the rural area of Henan Province to interview Wang Baoqiang's family, some people finally believed that he was really a migrant worker.
The same goes for Phellodendron chinense.
It is easier for him to check the school files and colleagues from the bars and dance studios where he previously worked.
Soon everyone discovered that the two people discovered by Shen Lang were both from grassroots backgrounds.
A supporting actor who was born into a migrant worker family, and an actor who has not returned to his professional roots five years after graduation and is frustrated.
But why, when these two people came into Shen Lang's hands, they immediately became as dazzling as rough jade after being polished?
For this reason, many media outlets found Shen Lang with questions, hoping that he could come forward to talk about this matter.
Originally, Shen Lang didn't want to show up.
What to interview?
What did you say?
"Well, what about these two characters! They are already very outstanding characters!"
"These two people look very similar to the two movie stars in another world!"
“So I think they can be popular!”
“So I decided to give it a try…”
If that were really the case, Shen Lang could guarantee that a mysterious code-named research institute of a certain academy of science would take him back for slice-up research in the next second.
Of course, there is another possibility, which is to go to Deshengmen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for treatment.
However, more and more media outlets came to interview, and later some even found their connections with my uncle and called me.
If you don't show up, it would be inhumane.
After much selection, Shen Lang was selected for the Penguin talk show "12 Invitations"!
The host Xu Zhiyuan graduated from a prestigious foreign university and is also a very famous writer.
His shows always like to invite cultural celebrities.
When Shen Lang met Xu Zhiyuan, the two exchanged greetings.
Xu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Teacher Shen, some topics in the interview may be sensitive to you. I would like to ask for your opinion first!"
Shen Lang wore glasses today, just to look gentlemanly.
He adjusted his glasses and nodded: "You can ask any question you want! As long as it's not too private!"
Since they were all internal relationships within Penguin, Xu Zhiyuan laughed, chatted for a few words, and prepared to start recording.
Although it is a talk show, some routines are prepared in advance.
For example, the shooting scene set up at this moment, with Ning Hao, Peng Mo and others temporarily serving as the background board.
Shen Lang stepped forward first, holding the script and discussing something with Ning Hao and Peng Mo.
The cameraman of "Twelve Invitations" crew followed along all the way.
After performing with Ning Hao and others, Xiao Zhuli was brought in to play a guest role.
Shen Lang then gave another on-the-spot instruction.
Ning Hao and Peng Mo, who were standing beside him, nodded seriously as they listened.
At this time, Shen Lang walked to Xu Zhiyuan and took the last busy shot of the crew composed of Xiao Zhuli, Ning Hao, Peng Mo, etc. Ning Hao and other extras could then go home and get their lunch boxes with chicken legs.
After Shen Lang walked over to sit next to Xu Zhiyuan, Xu Zhiyuan sighed and said, "Teacher Shen, I noticed that you are not only doing the work of an actor in the crew, but you are also doing the work of a director?"
"Sometimes, because Wang Zhuo is my assistant, I understand how to communicate with him better than the director does! Usually, I won't do anything that interferes with the work of others! As long as they are directors, they all have their own personalities!"
"Hahaha!" Xu Zhiyuan laughed.
"First of all, congratulations on the worldwide success of the movie Pulp Fiction, which you co-wrote. I heard that it has been confirmed to be in the running for an Oscar, is that right?"
Shen Lang tilted his head: "I heard it is true!"
"Some people say that your success started with divorce. Can you tell me about your last marriage?"
"Actually, my marriage was a big deal, and a lot of people knew about it. Specifically, I used to be quite an idiot!"
Xu Zhiyuan was stunned when he heard this, but soon said excitedly: "Shabi? This word is quite sharp to describe myself."
"You don't know what love is, and you don't know what is more important than love. If this isn't stupid, then what is it?" "Have you figured it out now?"
"Family! Family is the bottom line. After returning to my family, I found that they are a group of little angels waiting for my flowers to bloom!"
"Hahaha, very interesting metaphor. Will you consider love in the future?"
"Of course we have to consider it. Isn't it enough to turn the other person into a family member or a little angel?"
"..."
"Your acting skills have been highly praised by fans, but recently, some people have said that you are a talent scout in the film and television industry. What do you think of this evaluation?"
"Very good! They are the best of the best!"
"Oh, you are the one who deserves it!"
Shen Lang smiled and drank a sip of water before saying, "I have a basis for this."
"What is your basis?"
“It’s the actors themselves!”
"All the actors left the crew. Wang Baoqiang, who was paid only 6,000 yuan, was the last one to leave. Before leaving, he helped the crew pack up the photography and radio equipment."
"How many actors in China can be like this?"
"Five years after graduation, I worked as a singer and a dance instructor, but when I picked up my profession, I mastered it immediately. How many actors like me are there now?"
"Some actors, if you ask them to practice thirty times, they will practice three times! For someone like Hua Ge, if you ask him to practice thirty times, he will practice thirty times, but for Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, if you ask them to practice thirty times, they will practice three hundred times!"
"It's not that Hua Ge doesn't work hard, he has talent and there are many things to do, so he can only practice so much!"
"What I want to say is that Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang impressed me and the director first with their attitude!"
“They were not chosen by me!”
"They were chosen by their own talent and hard work!"
Xu Zhiyuan asked, "Did you watch the costume drama that was just aired a few days ago?"
Shen Lang smiled: "I know what Teacher Xu wants to say!"
Xu Zhiyuan looked at him with a smile, as if to say, "I'll wait for your next words."
But who is Shen Lang?
Notoriously meaningless.
"I've watched the TV series. The male lead looked like a robot. Not only was he ugly, but his expression was dull. I thought he was a newcomer from somewhere, but when he appeared on camera, I immediately gave up on the show."
"But Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang are not handsome in the traditional sense. Do you define an actor by beauty or ugliness?"
"Oh, that's not the case. No matter which angle you look at him from, the male lead always has dull, lifeless eyes. His frail body stares at the female lead limply. Even when he's in danger, he's still stiff, like a mindless puppet. His lines are extremely perfunctory and stiff. Not to mention the actress, even I, the audience, am horrified."
"so……"
“So I think the example proposed by Mr. Xu is very interesting.”
"Some people on the Internet said that Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang brought money into the group, or that they were arranged by the boss. I gave them the opportunity only for the boss's connections!"
"But now that the movie is out, what do you think of their acting?"
"Compared to the male lead of this TV show, what do you think?"
"Some dramas are made by rich people to fulfill their silly son's dream, so they spend money to invest and invite a bunch of people in the circle to act. Anyway, it's just like playing, and it's great to get paid. At an age when most young people are still worried about money, this silly son can do whatever he wants. It's really enviable."
Xu Zhiyuan saw that he spoke sharply and boldly. Although he was willing to see such a scene for the sake of the show effect, he was secretly worried for Shen Lang in his heart!
"Filming is not a game. I have said it more than once. Filming is a form of artistic creation!"
"Let more actors like Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo appear in the public eye, and fewer of those stupid sons of capitalists!"
“It’s just annoying!”
……
As soon as "12 Invitations" was broadcast, netizens went wild.
"Isn't it that this Shen Dazui is talking about "The Mountain Has Water but No Heart"? "
"Pig feet, that Chen? Robot, hahaha, so funny, so apt!"
"Indeed, compared to that guy, Wang Baoqiang and Huang Bo are the best actors!"
"Teacher Shen is so bold, what nonsense is he saying!"
Thank you all for your monthly tickets at the end of the month!
The new year is coming soon.
I wish you all good work and all the best in the new year.
I wish my book friends a happy family and good health!
Please make me rich! Make me rich!
