Chapter 335 Director, I haven't read the script yet
Just like Shen Lang's previous understanding of the script, Chen Baoguo, as a veteran actor, also keenly felt the emotions of the characters in the script at this moment.

In the scene just now, he perfectly expressed anger, suspicion, sadness and fear.

Especially the last tear. If it was a real shot, you couldn’t even see that tear on the monitor.

But at the scene, the shock this tear brought to everyone was simply terrifying.

The moment Chen Baoguo finished his performance, everyone present, including Shen Lang, applauded with conviction.

Shen Lang was the first to step forward and congratulate him, saying, "Teacher Chen, I didn't record what you just said. It's such a pity. I should have recorded it and watched it over and over again to learn from it!"

Seeing that Shen Lang spoke sincerely, Chen Baoguo liked him even more. An actor who has become very popular recently, but can still be so humble, it shows that Shen Lang is a really good person and worth interacting with.

"Teacher Shen, you are too polite. I have been acting for so many years, so it is only natural that I have some experience in acting. Unlike you, your screenwriting skills are also very high, but I can't even catch up with you!"

What does this sentence mean?

I may not be as good as you in screenwriting, but when it comes to acting, I am the best.

This is a confident old actor. No matter when, when it comes to acting skills, I am not inferior to anyone.

This is not arrogance on the part of Chen Baoguo, but self-confidence.

In fact, he had been very polite to Shen Lang.

Director Zhang Li looked at Zhang Jianjun and said, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think of Mr. Chen's acting skills just now?"

Zhang Jianjun was speechless when he heard this. This was not asking him to evaluate Chen Baoguo's acting skills, but to show off Chen Baoguo's acting skills and his strong vision to him.

but……

After seeing Chen Baoguo's acting skills, Zhang Jianjun himself was a little confused.

Chen Baoguo's aura is simply too strong.

That feeling of being superior, that moody character, that multi-layered emotional progression.

Everything told Zhang Jianjun that Chen Baoguo was indeed the best candidate for this play.

At this moment, he was wavering. Although choosing Shen Lang could bring traffic, it might cause the quality of the work to decline as Zhang Li said.

On one side is traffic, and on the other side is the quality of the work. It’s a dilemma, really a dilemma.

Seeing Zhang Li, Liu Heping and Chen Baoguo still waiting for his reply, he simply admitted generously: "Teacher Chen's acting skills are recognized nationwide! The part just now was so good!"

Everyone in the crew relaxed their expressions when they heard Zhang Jianjun's words.

It seems that Chen Baoguo, who was recommended by the director and screenwriter, has definitely gotten the role.

"Teacher Shen is indeed very good, but with such a large investment, the cost of costumes and makeup alone is astronomical. I think it is safer to hire Teacher Chen!"

"Needless to say? Teacher Chen's acting is so explosive that even the investors who highly praised Teacher Shen have to admit Director Zhang's vision."

"I think there's no need for Teacher Shen to show up!"

"I think he will give up because he can't win. Teacher Chen's performance is the best. If he insists on performing, it will be too embarrassing if he loses!"

"It's just..."

Zhang Li obviously thought of this, he turned to look at Shen Lang and said: "Teacher Shen, how about we just leave it at that today? I think Teacher Chen's performance has conquered everyone here, so there is no need for you to audition again."

Zhang Li had good intentions, but when he said this, it made people feel that no matter how much Shen Lang jumped around, he could not compare with Chen Baoguo.

In fact, if Shen Lang wants to shoot a good script now, he has a lot of opportunities.

Just now he had thought about it for a moment, why not let Chen Baoguo go up.

But Zhang Li's words made him have no choice but to go.

What does it mean that Teacher Chen’s performance has conquered everyone?

What do you mean I don't need to audition anymore?
People who don’t know might think that you mean to say that I’m not good enough.

As soon as Liu Heping heard his old partner say this, he knew there was something wrong with the words.

If Shen Lang really left like this, wouldn't he be taking advantage of others? In the circle, his acting skills are inferior to those of Chen Baoguo and his group? After all, he is one of the top actors in the country. How can he save face?

Liu Heping quickly laughed and said, "Teacher Shen, Director Zhang didn't mean that. We are all acquaintances, and it's not easy to get together today. Director Zhang meant that your acting skills are all top-notch anyway..."

Before Liu Heping finished speaking, Shen Lang said, "I understand what Director Zhang means."

"But!" Shen Lang changed the subject, "Since we are here today, it would be a shame to leave like this. So, let me act out a scene, and please ask Mr. Chen Baoguo, Mr. Zhang, the director, and you, Mr. Liu, to help criticize it."

Shen Lang's words were polite, but they revealed immense confidence.

"This..." Liu Heping felt bad.

Zhang Li's face was also a little embarrassed.

However, Zhang Jianjun and Chen Baoguo showed anticipation on their faces.

Chen Baoguo smiled and said, "Yes, since Teacher Shen is here, he must perform a show! I also want to see Teacher Shen's performance with my own eyes!"

Chen Baoguo had spoken, and Zhang Li had nothing else to say, so he thought for a moment and said, "Then let's act out the first appearance of Emperor Jiajing in the script!"

"Ah? This part?"

"This part is too uneventful, isn't it? The director doesn't give Teacher Shen any chance!"

"This... is a bit too much!"

When Liu Heping heard the part Zhang Li had chosen, he quickly walked up to him and said, "Director, this part doesn't show the feeling of Emperor Jiajing. How about changing it?"

Why did Liu Heping also oppose it?

Because the first time Emperor Jiajing appeared in the script, the background was in the Yuxi Palace in the Western Garden.

Because of the huge deficit in the national treasury, a fierce dispute broke out between Prince Yu's party and Yan's party.

The first time Jiajing, the emperor, appeared was to reconcile the conflict between the two factions in the court.

Since the role is to reconcile conflicts, then he plays the role of a peacemaker.

As we all know, outstanding clips require intense conflicts.

For example, in this scene, Yan Shifan, who had nine wives, and Gao Gong, an upright cabinet minister, were in conflict with each other. This kind of scene could highlight the characters' personalities.

As for Jiajing, he came out and said, "It's all good for everyone, don't worry."

How to do this?
No wonder even the crew members and Liu Heping felt that Zhang Li was targeting Shen Lang too much.

Zhang Li said: "This opening is not that simple!"

At this point, he turned to look at Shen Lang: "Teacher Shen, do you want to try it?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Shen Lang.

If Shen Lang said "I won't answer it", wouldn't he become a laughing stock?

"Okay! Director Zhang! Thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

Zhang Li nodded. Shen Lang was quite well-mannered.

"But director, can you let me see the script? I haven't read the script yet!"

“Uh…” Zhang Li.

The rest of the crew was stunned.

No one expected that Shen Lang had not even read the script.

So how do we act this out?
Didn't even grasp the character's personality.

What's going on?
