Chapter 374 Five Small Gifts

Shen Lang declined Zhou Xingxing's invitation and did not want to star in this movie.

The reason is of course that up to now, Laolu has not prompted that a new job has been detected.

The second is that the villains in the script are Uncle Tat who plays a wealthy man and Tang Niu who is Stephen Chow’s “apprentice”.

These two people, Uncle Tat's role, and that scene where he smokes a cigar and grins slyly, is a classic in film history.

Although in another time and space, Wu Mengda became Wu Mengda, but Wu Mengda looks very much like Uncle Da in Shen Lang's time and space. Letting him perform can be regarded as letting Uncle Da be reborn in this time and space!
As for Tang Niu, I, Shen Lang, would never do such a tasteless thing as shitting at the elevator entrance!

Whoever wants to do it will do it!
Zhou Xingxing left excitedly holding the script.

Shen Lang received a call from Shen Nan. The actors for Barat had already been found and filming was about to begin. He wanted to invite Shen Lang to Barat to give him some in-person guidance on the work.

He was the one who started the trouble. Now that his second brother has started, he can no longer hide in the capital and not show up.

Shen Lang applied for a visa and flew to Balat, where he stayed for more than twenty days in a humid and hot environment, eating terrible food and risking his caterpillars going on strike.

After clarifying the script for Shen Nan, he instructed the leading actor from the UK and then hurried back to China.

Unexpectedly, he was "kidnapped" as soon as he got off the plane.

In the car, Xu Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Teacher Shen, I've had such a hard time finding you! I originally thought you would be in Zhou Xingxing's show, and I was ready to change you, but after all this time, you went to Barat. After I found out about your flight, I waited at the airport early this morning, just because I was afraid that you would have a lot of things to do after returning to the company!"

Shen Lang said speechlessly: "Then you should at least go back and change your clothes!"

"No, I'll ask someone to buy you some clothes now. Teacher Shen, you don't know that the entire crew is waiting for you!"

Think about when we were filming "New Dragon Inn" that year, the entire crew was waiting for Zhang Manman and Liang Jiahui's schedule. Times have changed, and unexpectedly, Xu Ke's crew started waiting for their own schedule!

Without further ado, just one word... "awesome"!
Forget it, since Lao Xu is so sincere, I will just reluctantly play the role of a monk for once.

Seeing that Shen Lang finally agreed to star in "Green Snake", Xu Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The play "Green Snake" is actually adapted from a novel, the original work was written by the talented woman Li Bihua from Hong Kong.

The famous "Farewell My Concubine" and "Rouge" were both written by this female writer.

However, although Li Bihua is no longer around in this era, the three works were all written by a writer from Hong Kong named Li Yuan.

Li Yuan is a very unique person.

After the play was given to Xu Ke for adaptation and release, Xu Ke asked Li Bihua about the selection of the leading role in order to respect the original author.

When talking about Fahai, Xu Ke originally wanted Liu Dehua and Zhang Guorong to play the role.

But they were all denied by Li Yuan.

She pointed out that although Fahai appeared to be upright and had a heart of Buddha, in fact his six senses were not yet fully developed and he still had greed, anger, and ignorance in his heart, so overall he was a villain.

Such a character must be both handsome and mean.

After all, Li Yuan is the original author, and her understanding of the characters in the book is something that even Xu Ke, who has always been a maverick, has to take seriously.

Both Andy Lau and Tony Leung Ka Fai are superstars in Hong Kong Island, and their personalities are already very mature to some extent.

When the audience sees them, they know that this person must be a good person.

Of course, both of them have played bad guys, but this does not affect their image in the audience's mind.

He had to be handsome, have a Buddhist character, and be a bit bad. This was difficult for Xu Ke.

However, at that time, "Green Snake" was only in the process of filming, so the issue of choosing the leading actor was not urgent, and the matter was shelved.

Later, Li Yuan happened to see Shen Lang and Wang Gaoge quarreling with each other on the news.

Shen Lang said that Wang Gaoge's son was the ugly son of a capitalist.

This incident suddenly made Li Yuan interested.

Wang Gaoge had contact with Li Yuan because of the movie "Farewell My Concubine".

After that, the relationship between the two sides has always existed, and Li Yuan naturally knows what kind of person Wang Gaoge's son is.

As someone in the circle, Shen Lang not only spoke out boldly, but also engaged in a verbal fight with Wang Gaoge.

To be honest, in Li Yuan's opinion, Shen Lang's approach is very interesting.

Yes, it's interesting. He does upright things, but he stirs up trouble everywhere and secretly finds someone to investigate Wang Gaoge. As a result, Wang Gaoge is so scared that he dares not to film and can only go to variety shows to make money.

Such a person, with a bright heart and despicable means, is very interesting.

Then open the photo of Shen Lang and photoshop him into a bald head. Hi! To be honest, he looks a bit like Fahai. He is really handsome!
He gets more handsome as he gets older. Why didn’t I notice it before?

After she told Xu Ke about this, Xu Ke thought about it and realized that she had really forgotten about Shen Lang.

When he finished filming "New Dragon Inn", he had thought that he must work with Shen Lang in the next movie. How could he have forgotten it after such a long time?

After many twists and turns, Xu Ke came to visit Shen Lang before he went to Barat.

When Shen Lang arrived at Xu Ke's office in the capital, what he didn't expect was that the female writer Li Yuan and several other leading actors, such as Wang Yu, Zhang Manman, etc., had been waiting for him there for a long time.

Seeing Shen Lang in person, Li Yuan said excitedly: "Teacher Shen, I thought you were very handsome when I saw your photos. Now that I see you in person, why do I feel that you are even more handsome?"

Shen Lang: "When was the photo of me you were looking at?"

"What's wrong with the photos of media interviews during the filming of "The Legend of Drunken Master"? Is there anything wrong?" Li Yuan said!

Well, that makes sense! After all, I am a handsome guy! It is normal for you to think I am handsome!
Wang Yu also looked around Shen Lang and said, "Mr. Shen, we meet again. I didn't expect that we would have a chance to cooperate with each other?"

It was Wang Yu who introduced Lin Xia last time, so the two naturally knew each other.

Zhang Manman said even more: "Teacher Wang is right, Mr. Shen, how do you maintain yourself? How come you are getting more and more handsome!"

"Ding, a new job opportunity for the host is detected!"

"Green Snake is a classic of Xu's martial arts, but this drama is actually a love story with big twists and turns, complete love, and a love that lasts until death!"

“As you are experiencing a romance film for the first time, you are about to enter a whole new realm of interpretation!”

"In order to give Donkey Bao some confidence and help him play the role of Fahai well, the system specially gives him five tools that can help the protagonist perform well in this play!"

"However, out of the five attribute entries, Donkey Treasure can only draw two!"

"The five attribute entries are: a cold heart, a sharp CEO eye that charms everyone, Buddha's light, a mastery of Buddhist scriptures, and a giant python!"

Shen Lang was confused: "No? I can understand everything else, but isn't this giant python an intruder?"
