Chapter 230: A Character Who Fears Demons Even When He Goes Crazy(2/3)
.
And he stopped going to school after graduating from middle school and participated in the TVB Rookie Singing Competition to debut... At this stage, Wen Chaolun is a singer, but his singing career has always been tepid.
Occasionally, I can perform in some TVB dramas with a monthly salary of 2,000 Hong Kong dollars.
At this stage, the family is working hard, mainly to pay off the debt that Brother Wen spent studying abroad, and to save money. They hope to have the opportunity to improve their family situation, such as buying a house, instead of living in low-rent public housing as a family.
Wen Chaolun, who is now 24 years old, also dreams of becoming famous. He has even waited for the opportunity. When he got off work today, he received a call from Sir Wei Jiahui, saying that he would be auditioning for a new drama tomorrow, as the second male lead.
Opportunity!
Isn’t it the drama king produced and directed by Wei Jiahui that is currently causing a nationwide viewing frenzy in Hong Kong, with crowds selling out all the seats in Hong Kong? I heard that afterward, Sir Wei received a 2 million red envelope alone, and Lan Jieying was not even considered the first female lead.
Is it the second female lead, the third female lead, or the fourth female lead?
He also followed up to the present and discovered that in the great era, Zhou Haimei is the first female, Guo Aiming is the second female, and Li Lizhen is the third female. But Lan Jieying does have hope of earning five or six million in a month or two by selling goods!
For such a big-time producer and director, the next latest masterpiece, let him be the second male lead? It's so exciting. Wen Chaolun feels like his blood is surging and his whole body is about to explode.
I can’t wait to share my good mood with my family.
That's right, forget it... let's wait until we get the role before we talk about it, lest we talk about it now and go to the interview tomorrow but fail, which would be a huge tragedy.
While waiting, chatting casually, the broadcast of Big Time has started!
Episode 29 of Big Times on the night of the 2nd started with Zhan Bo crying and complaining that Xiao Min died unjustly and was forced to death by a gang. Everyone in the court was moved to tears, while Long Jiwen wanted to beg Fang Zhanbo to go to the court afterwards.
She avoided the limelight and was rejected by Fang Zhanbo.
As the plot develops, Ding Xie is trapped in his own weird logic and cannot extricate himself. He loses the case in court and is sentenced to death, which makes countless viewers feel relieved.
Then came the Zhongqing Society headed by Ding Xiao Xia, Ding Yi Xia, Ding Wang Xia, and Ding Li Xia. They caught Fang Zhanbo, Fang Fang, and Fang Ting one by one, and threw them from a tall building to stage a free fall from high altitude.
Except for Fang Zhanbo who narrowly escaped by grabbing the guardrail of a certain floor, the two daughters of the Fang family died tragically.
"Gee, these little red guys have no humanity! Why don't the whole family die!"
"It's so shameless. These gangsters deserve to die. They all deserve a bad death. Damn it for their eighteen generations of ancestors!"
"Go to the street..."
………………
In front of the TV screen, watching the fight between the Fang family and the Ding family, with Fang Zhanbo being the only one to escape with his life, everyone in the Wen family was yelling curses, and their blood pressure soared as they watched.
They live in Hong Kong Island, and they are all Hong Kong Island citizens at the lowest level. They also know how many ordinary citizens are oppressed by corporate people in their daily lives.
But the scenes unfolding in the great era are still too cruel and violent.
Isn't this a true portrayal of murder and arson with gold belts, bridges and roads repaired but no corpses? Isn't this the case that good people don't live long and deserve to be bullied, while evil people live their lives wantonly amid heinous sins?
Wen Chaolun's blood pressure soared as he watched it. He quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to his mother, "Mom, it's just a TV series. Don't be so angry. TV often contains a lot of artistic processing."
Mother Wen took a sip of warm water, breathed a long sigh of relief, patted Wen Chaolun's hand and said, "Alan, I know this is a TV series, but TV series are too... By the way, you are also an actor. Don't be like Wu Zhenyu in the future.
, these bastards like Tao Dayu are so inhumane."
Brother Wen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, little brother, we must not learn from the good and the bad. Such people will definitely be punished by God in the future and there will be retribution."
Wen Chaolun rolled his eyes wildly in his heart, brother, you are a top student from the University of Massachusetts, and you can't tell the difference between film and television projects and artistic works? He could only smile and said, "Don't worry, brother, you see, for someone with my talent, I will definitely be a niche student in the future.
Idol material.”
He didn't know how to refute, what happened to Wu Zhenyu and Tao Dayu? Those are all seniors, especially Wu Zhenyu, New World 3, the dignified little godfather of the Ni family!
People in the film industry have already proven themselves.
As for the king of dramas in "The Big Era", Wu Zhenyu's role as Ding Xiaoxi in the previous twenty or so episodes is a perfect match for Xu Wenqiang's character template in "Shanghai Bund".
Just after Ding Xie was released from prison, Wu Zhenyu, a neurotic and epileptic king, began to bloom another charm because of the word "filial piety".
Speaking of which, on the TV screen, Wen Chaolun watched Wu Zhenyu arrest his ex-girlfriend, his beloved Fang Ting. In order to vent his anger on his father who was sentenced to death, he personally ordered his men to throw her downstairs to death. That kind of...cruel??
Crazy? Damn it, let alone a good person like him, even the short mules who usually hang out on the road would be frightened when they meet Wu Zhenyu in real life!
At this point, Xiaomei Wen was happy, "Yes, second brother, you are so handsome. The most handsome one in our family will definitely play the role of various rich and powerful young men in the future. He will set an example for young talents and be a decent boy!"
Others in the Wen family also praised him one after another. Of course, this kind of praise was more of a kind of self-praise with the desire of a small citizen to become prosperous and jump into the next social class. They all knew that it was self-praise.
Wen Chaolun did not say clearly that he had received an invitation to audition for the second male lead in a new TV series, but he just suppressed his excitement and laughed.
……………………
May 3rd.
In a large office on a certain floor of the old ATV that had not yet been relocated, when Wen Chaolun came in and saw Huang Rihua, Lan Jieying, and several different beauties already sitting, he immediately apologized politely, saying that he was late.
Wei Jiahui, who presided over the meeting, smiled and asked people to distribute the script, "Alan, sit down, although we have not had much contact before, I also know that you are an old man who has hosted a program on Hong Kong Island Radio in 1982."
"This is the script for the second male lead in a new drama. You read it first. No one is competing with you yet. After you read it, go back and prepare for the competition. If you can pass it, the role will be yours!"
"After the script came out, I went through it in my mind and felt that this role is perfect for you!"
Wen Chaolun thanked him ecstatically. It turns out that he doesn't have many competitors yet? Isn't this a sure win...
After thanking him, he couldn't wait to start reading the script. As he watched, Awen fell silent, (unforgiving) Ding Youkang??
He looks talented and has a dignified appearance. In Sir Wei's mind, this is the image he has. He rushes to the street and almost feels like he doesn't want to live anymore.
Wei Jiahui grabbed the script for the second female lead Li Hua and said, "The competition for the second female lead is quite fierce. The character is a soft and self-pitying character. Li Ruotong, Zhang Yan and Wan Qiwen are the three of you competing.
.”
In fact, the most popular TV series of "Intolerance" is really Ding Youkang, the villain, but other protagonists, heroines, etc. It may be a sensation when it is broadcast, but over time, it is not as good as Ding Youkang to the audience.
The impression left is even deeper.
After all, the character Ding Youkang is not an ordinary beast.
Even the black boss character like Ding Xiaoxi in (Big Era) who personally ordered his girlfriend to be thrown to death is much better than Ding Youkang.
Wen Chaolun recalled the conversations he had with his family yesterday when they were watching "The Big Era", and suddenly felt a little inexplicable.
This is a man who killed his girlfriend, who was still pregnant with his son at the time, killed his adoptive mother, kidnapped his biological son to blackmail his grandfather, angered his wife who was the daughter of a wealthy family, and killed his elder brother, sister-in-law, including his nephew... just to get rich!
He almost wanted to cry and say to Sir Wei, Sir Wei, thank you!
After a while, the simple reading of the script ended, and when the crowd dispersed, Wen Chaolun was still holding on to his own script, and with tears in his eyes, he grabbed Wei Jiahui's right hand and said, "Sir Wei, thank you, thank you for reading. I
You must work hard!”
Wei Jiahui, "..."
He had goosebumps, but he also knew what kind of bird Ding Youkang was in the script, so he could only smile gently and said, "Come on, Awen, I'm optimistic about you. This kind of gentle scum has a handsome appearance and temperament."
Elegant, a character who actually scares even the devil when he goes crazy."
"If you perform well, you will definitely become popular in East and Southeast Asia!"
Huang Rihua came over and said with shame, "Awen, come on! I'm very optimistic about you too!"
In the script, Ding Youjian, played by Huang Rihua, is also a fool who is easily deceived by Ding Youkang and helps him commit crimes and is imprisoned. He is the male protagonist who exemplifies justice in the world.
But off-screen, Brother Hua has to admit that not everyone can play the role of Ding Youkang.
It's so bad that the sores on the head and pus on the soles of the feet are all modest adjectives. Anyway, if you look for it among already famous niche actors or actors, there is a high probability that you won't be able to find such a handsome and gentle actor to play the role.
In (The Big Era), Ding Yi Crab is so bad that the gods hate him and ghosts hate him. The audience who watched it wanted to stab each other several times in blood, but Ding Yi Crab and Ding Youkang are not even the younger brothers.
Thinking of this, Huang Rihua suddenly said, "Sir Wei, are you being robbed of your first love by someone named Ding? The people named Ding under your command are a bit miserable."
Wen Chaolun also looked at Wei Jiahui with burning eyes.
Sir Wei coughed loudly a few times and said, "No, what's the matter? Don't slander me in such a messy way. It was just an accident. The writer slipped when he was naming the name... Mr. Jin even slipped several of his older cousins."
"
When Sir Wei quickly stepped out of the way, Huang Rihua put his arm around the shoulders of Wen Chaolun, who was looking restrained, and walked out, "Alan, when the time comes to start a group, we can have more contact and deepen our relationship."
"Good guys, Li Ruotong, Zhang Yan, Wan Qiwen, they are all great beauties. Even if they fail to compete for the second female lead, they will still be chosen to play the third female lead and the fourth female lead..."
"Let me help you figure it out. Female No. 2 was deceived by you and is an emotional victim. Female No. 3 is your ex-girlfriend. She was pregnant with your flesh and blood and you tricked her into writing a suicide note. Then you murdered her, killing two people. After all, you
Disliking her existence will affect your marriage to a wealthy family."
"Female No. 4 from a wealthy family, she went from being in love to being angry to death with you. You even kidnapped the son she gave birth to for you and blackmailed your father-in-law..."
Wen Chaolun cried, "Brother Hua, please give me some advice. If the crew doesn't understand anything in the future, please help me."
Huang Rihua tried to hold back his laughter, but after several attempts he still couldn't help but slap his leg, "Ha, Awen, don't worry, your character will definitely become popular, even more popular than our decent protagonists. Maybe he will bring something to the market when the time comes...
Someone will buy your personal merchandise to ward off evil spirits."
Wen Chaolun, "..."
Huang Rihua lamented again, "Even me, who plays your eldest brother in this play, and Lan Jieying, who plays your sister-in-law, you guys want to poison our family of three and eat us out of the house. The two of us escaped by chance, but you, the elder
My nephew was poisoned to death... Tsk, the more I study this script, the more terrifying it becomes."
"Why don't you go and have a few drinks with Tao Dayu first? I heard that the heavy rain was quite miserable. The Big Times has been playing until now. If you go out, you may be thrown rotten eggs by the neighbors at any time."
Wen Chaolun, "Brother Hua, listen to me, I thank you!"
Black and red are also red. As long as they become popular first, it will be much better than the current embarrassing living situation of their family. At least according to ATV's habits, once (Unforgiveness) becomes a big hit, the starring actors will basically be worth millions of Hong Kong dollars.
To be continued...
