Chapter 30 Temporary Addition
Huang Lu said with sweat on his forehead: "Teacher Shen, thank you so much. Our crew only has 20 million yuan for the shooting fee. I didn't expect you to be so noble and stay to play this small role. Your attitude is so firm. I didn't expect it!"
"Haha, this is all..." Shen Lang was about to say a few polite words, but his smile suddenly froze on his face, "No, Director, how much did you just say about the crew's filming budget?"
Huang Lu asked in confusion: "Twenty million!"
"In addition to the actors' salaries, the filming cost 20 million?" Shen Lang asked.
Huang Lu said with a sad face: "Hey, it's added together!"
Shen Lang was confused and asked tentatively: "Then what about my..."
Speaking of Shen Lang, Huang Lu was even more moved: "Teacher Shen, don't worry, food, accommodation and air tickets are all included. It's not easy to come all the way here. I'll ask the stage manager to bring you some salted duck. It's a specialty of Jinling, and it's delicious!"
……
……
……
Shen Lang subconsciously took out his phone and walked aside: "Boss, is it too late for me to go back now?"
Gu Jialan on the other end of the phone: "Humph, the contract is signed, you stay in Jinling and don't come back!"
"..."
After the call, Shen Lang looked like a walking corpse...
Huang Lu saw his distraught look and asked with concern: "Teacher Shen, are you okay?"
Shen Lang looked at his old yet childish face and said helplessly, "Are you okay?"
Huang Lu was happy: "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. Today we are going to rush to Jinling Ginkgo Lake Scenic Area to shoot your most important scene, where a prostitute is caught at Shanshui Manor! You must maintain the state you just had!"
Keep?
How to maintain?
Now Shen Lang just wants to find a deserted corner to cry without restraint.
"Ding, it's dark, the system triggers a random task!"
"Donkey, do you want to upgrade your [Intermediate Villain Acting Skills] entry? Please use your mind to open this entry! After you fully upgrade the secondary attributes under this entry, the growth progress of the main attribute entry will increase!"
"Task content: Perfectly interpret Chen Qingquan's performance in the drama "In the Name of People"! You can upgrade the secondary attribute entry [Sex Maniac]!"
"Reward for completing the mission: In addition to the progress bar for the attribute entry [Sex Maniac], Laolu has also thoughtfully prepared a consumable attribute entry for Donkey Bao*1."
Shen Lang can’t hold it anymore...it’s very serious.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to control his mother-filled sentences, and silently recited [Intermediate Villain Acting Skills] and clicked it!
Sure enough, after clicking on it, two secondary attributes appeared below this attribute.
【Scammers】: 30/100;
【Sex Maniac】: 0/100;
[To be developed]: 0/100;
[To be developed]: 0/100;
[To be developed]: 0/100;
……
Shen Lang suddenly lost hope for the rest of his life.
Looking at the densely packed [To be developed], he felt the full malice brought by the system.
What?
Do you want him to have all five poisons and become so evil that he will ooze pus?
Quick, follow up with self-psychological massage...
"Why am I here in this world?"
"My frozen mansion?"
"There are dozens of fair-skinned and beautiful caregivers in my nursing home?"
"I am an older, single, divorced man. Don't I want to prepare 888,000 yuan for the bride price?"
"The future of my old man and Zhuangzhuang..."…………
Huang Lu saw Shen Lang's face twisted constantly, and was afraid that something might happen to him, so he hurriedly asked with concern: "Teacher Shen, Teacher Shen, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Lang opened his eyes, took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Director Huang, I can start anytime!"
Huang Lu turned to the assistant directors and said, "Look, everyone, Mr. Shen is obviously tired, but he still insists on working for the crew's progress. Isn't this kind of professionalism worth learning from?"
"That's right!"
"Teacher Shen is truly a role model for our generation!"
"Teacher Shen, my impression of you has undergone a 180-degree reversal!"
……
Jinling·Jiangning·Ginkgo Lake
When the director of In the Name of People saw Huang Lu nod at him, he said to the actors in the next scene, "Today, with Teacher Shen's makeup, we will first shoot the scene where Chen Qingquan is caught for having sex with a prostitute. If anyone needs to be familiar with the lines or roles, please tell me!"
The young actor who played Secretary Qin and the policeman, as well as Hu Jing who played Gao Xiaoqin, all nodded and said, "No problem, we can start!"
The three directors looked at Shen Lang who was familiarizing himself with the script and said, "Teacher Shen, where are you?"
At this time, Shen Lang looked at the script and said, "Director, there is something wrong with your lines!"
Huang Luqi asked, "What's wrong? Teacher Shen."
Shen Lang pointed at his page of script and asked, "Isn't this line too simple?"
Hearing that it was a problem with the script, screenwriter Wu Hai quickly came out and asked, "Teacher Shen, what's the problem?"
This is totally problematic. Shen Lang remembered that the lines in the original version were completely unrelated to this.
For example, the popular online meme "Learn a foreign language" is simply written as Chen Qingquan asking Gao Xiaoqin: "Mr. Gao, what are your plans tonight?"
Gao Xiaoqin smiled and said, "Dean Chen, these are all old arrangements, you like them!"
But the later works are Gao Xiaoqin said: "People are still waiting for you to learn foreign languages!"
The two expressions mean exactly the same thing.
But the deeper meaning expressed in the lines is completely different.
Wu Hai is too straightforward, making people hate corrupt officials like Secretary-General Qin and Chen Qingquan, but the character is a little thin.
But the lines in another time and space are different.
Learning a foreign language may seem funny, but it actually reflects the shamelessness of the collusion between officials and businessmen like Chen Qingquan, Secretary-General Qin and Gao Xiaoqin!
But what Shen Lang didn't know was that the character of Chen Qingquan in another time and space actually didn't have many lines. When the editor wrote the script, he just gave a general idea, dialogues, actions and so on, and the actors had to perform on the spot.
Mr. Hou, who played Chen Qingquan, came up with a joke about "learning a foreign language" on the set. Who would have known that this joke would become a hit after it was broadcast!
This is the charm of the actors' lines!
Shen Lang expressed his thoughts.
Wu Hai was not a petty person. Shen Lang had left a very good impression on him just now. He asked modestly, "Teacher Shen, how do you think we should change it?"
Shen Lang said: "Since we have to act, no matter how big or small the role is, we have to act well. Then I will add a scene temporarily. Do the director and screenwriter have any objection?"
Huang Lu wished that all the actors would be like Shen Lang and actively exert their subjective initiative. He quickly said, "No objection, no objection! Teacher Shen is welcome to create a second work in the play!"
Shen Lang looked at the other actors and saw that although they were a little nervous because of the temporary addition of scenes, they were young after all, and seemed eager to try.
Shen Lang borrowed a pen, then gathered those people together and expressed his thoughts.
The few people who were having a small meeting pursed their lips at first, looking restrained and nervous, but they didn't expect that not long after Shen Lang spoke, several of them burst into laughter.
This scene made Huang Lu and others feel a little confused.
About ten minutes later, Shen Lang asked Hu Jing and the others, "Any questions?"
Everyone laughed in unison: "No problem, Teacher Shen!"
Shen Lang nodded, turned around and made an OK gesture to the three directors: "Let's get started!"
