Chapter 8 008: I was a sidekick before

"It's such a pity. If you had the conditions you needed, you would definitely have passed the National Theater Examination." The deputy director surnamed Liu said with great regret.

"As an actor, it's more difficult to get into if you don't have a professional background, but nothing is guaranteed. With your appearance, as long as you can play the second or even third male role, you may become popular."

When Wu Gang heard what the assistant director said, he suddenly felt proud because this was the actor he had brought, and he replied with a smile:

"Director Liu, Xu Ning is not only handsome, but his kung fu is also top-notch. Alas...it's a pity that he just lacks a chance."

When Assistant Director Liu heard that he knew Kung Fu, he became even more interested: "Can you show me?"

This is an opportunity, and Xu Ning will certainly not miss it.

After these days of practice, his Shaolin Luohan Boxing and Xingyi Liuhe Boxing have both improved to the proficiency level.

He immediately walked to a clearing,

Prepare to perform a set of Xingyi Liuhe Boxing.

The Xingyi Liuhe Boxing is open and closed, fierce and brave, and the punches hit the flesh. Xu Ning fought like a tiger, and he was very powerful.

Director Liu cheered after seeing it.

"Xiao Xu, there is a character here that I think is very suitable for you. It will be very exciting to play against Zhao Wenzhuo in a while."

Xu Ning's face was filled with joy, and he imitated the characters in martial arts dramas and said, "Thank you, Director Liu, for your appreciation."

Director Liu waved his hand and said with a pity on his face: "The important roles in the crew have already been decided, otherwise I would definitely recommend you to play Chu Wanxin."

In the TV series "The Drunken Man", the actor who plays Chu Wanxin is Mo Shaocong from Xiangjiang. He was born in 1962 and was already 39 years old when he acted in this drama.

His reputation in Hong Kong is not very good. The media reported that he abandoned the actress Hong Xin who gave birth to his child. After his reputation became bad, he went to the mainland to develop his career and then starred in this TV series.

In this era, the tentacles of capital were far less extended than later generations, and it had not yet reached the point of fully intervening in casting. Many roles in film and television dramas were selected through open auditions.

If Xu Ning competes for the role of Chu Wanxin, there is a high probability that he will be chosen.

…

When Wu Gang heard that Director Liu was so optimistic about Xu Ning, he happily took Director Liu to discuss what character Xu Ning would play next.

The TV series "The Drunken Man",

It mainly revolves around the male protagonist Wentian and his compatriot Chu Wanxin, and there is almost no so-called third male lead.

So there is no role suitable for Xu Ning.

But Xu Ning didn't care.

This crew is just a transitional place. His real goal is next month's "Wind and Cloud Dominates the World", and it is best to win the role of Duan Lang.

the other side.

Zhao Wenzhuo found Xu Ning boxing and immediately became interested.

He himself is a master of martial arts, and Tongbei Quan is his special skill. Seeing Xu Ning perform a wonderful Xingyi Quan, he suddenly felt itchy in his hands.

At that time, Zhao Wenzhuo was spotted by Yuan Kui who went to the Beijing Sports University for casting because of his handsome appearance. And because he performed a pleasing Tongbei punch on the scene, he was directly selected to play the villain of the Nine Gates Admiral E in "Fang Shiyu".

Erdo.

The year was 1993, and Zhao Wenzhuo was only 19 years old. Because of this opportunity, he embarked on an acting career.

Therefore, opportunity is as indispensable as strength.

At this time, Xu Ning was standing under the shade of a tree chatting with Baoqiang, when suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hello, my name is Zhao Wenzhuo."

Xu Ning turned around and realized it was him, so he stretched out his hand to shake hands with him: "Hello, Brother Zhuo, my name is Xu Ning."

Wang Baoqiang shouted excitedly, not at all as calm as the future actor.

Come to think of it...

Nowadays, Zhao Wenzhuo is quite famous, and it is normal for Baoqiang to be excited when seeing such a star.

Although Xu Ning met the big star, he still remained neither humble nor overbearing, and did not mess up like Bao Qiang.

When Zhao Wenzhuo saw that this extravaganza, who was a few years younger than him, not only had a handsome appearance, but also spoke and behaved gracefully, he felt a little higher in his eyes.

"The Xingyi Liuhe boxing you just played was very good. Have you been practicing it since you were a child?" Zhao Wenzhuo did not hesitate to praise him.

Xu Ning's heart skipped a beat... I have just practiced for less than half a month, and this is all due to the system.

But he must admit it, because people who say that he can practice it in a short time simply don't believe it.

So, he casually made up a story: "My grandfather passed it on to me. He has been practicing Xingyiquan all his life."

Wang Baoqiang, the boss next to him, had his mouth open. He was even more surprised than when he saw Zhao Wenzhuo just now. He wanted to shout something in his heart, but he swallowed it. He couldn't help but give Xu Ning a thumbs up:

"Brother Ning is still very good. He just opens his mouth and speaks so well. I must learn more from Brother Ning."

Zhao Wenzhuo became more interested after hearing this.

He himself was born in a martial arts family, and he has a good impression of people like Xu Ning who were also born in a martial arts family.

"Little brother, how about you practice sparring with me? I see that you are doing well in Xingyiquan, but your hands are a little itchy."

A rare opportunity.

Being able to compete with Zhao Wenzhuo may be reported by some media, which is also a good opportunity to show his face.

Moreover, his height and body shape are not inferior to Zhao Wenzhuo's, and he has no fear in martial arts.

"Brother Zhuo, I won't show mercy, be careful." Xu Ning laughed.

"Let go and fight. There is no point in being timid."

"OK!"

When people around him saw that Zhao Wenzhuo was going to compete with a handsome young man, they became interested. For a while, everyone from the crew came to watch, and even the director and martial arts instructor were alarmed.

The female number one, Yang Gongru, was dressed in ancient costume and ran over happily holding a skirt, shouting from the side: "Brother Zhuo, come on, little brother, come on too."

Soon, the two of them prepared their offensive moves.

This martial arts competition is just a competition of moves, so there will be no scene of hugging each other and fighting. The fight will be similar to that in the movie.

Zhao Wenzhuo uses Tongbei Quan, and Xu Ning uses Xingyi Quan. Both boxing techniques emphasize large opening and closing. In addition, both of them are tall and have long legs, which is very interesting to watch.

Less than a minute.

Zhao Wenzhuo turned his back with his left hand and hit Xu Ning's face with a split palm of his right hand. At the same time, Xu Ning struck Zhao Wenzhuo's heart with a cannon punch.

Click until...

The two fought to a draw.

"good!"

The martial arts instructor of the crew applauded and came to the two of them excitedly.

"I didn't expect that this little brother is so good at punching at such a young age that he can even fight with Wenzhuo."

Zhao Wenzhuo was also full of admiration: "It's very good, I almost lost."

Being praised so much by the two of them, Xu Ning actually felt a little guilty, but his face was still calm and he smiled and replied: "No, no, Brother Zhuo is showing mercy."

"Haha, don't be modest. You two are very good at kung fu. You are much better than the actors in the industry."

Wu Zhi said with a smile. He looked at Xu Ning's face, and then asked: "Which role does the little brother play? Why don't I remember it?"

Xu Ning answered truthfully: "Xiao Te, I used to play a small role."

"Ah? With your conditions, you can play the leading role." Zhao Wenzhuo said slightly surprised.

"It's been less than a month since I came to the capital, and I'm still running around with various crews." There is nothing to hide in this regard, Xu Ning said directly.

After hearing this, Zhao Wenzhuo felt a little regretful and encouraged: "You just have one chance. Once the opportunity comes, you will definitely become famous. Let's do this... I have a drama next month, and I will recommend you to the producer then."

Next month... isn't it "Wind and Cloud"?

Zhao Wenzhuo plays Nie Feng in the play. If he can get his recommendation, he has a high probability of being selected.

Xu Ning was excited, and her favorable impression of Zhao Wenzhuo increased a lot, and she thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Zhuo."

…

the other side.

"Director Qiu, this young man is very good. No matter in appearance or skill, he is no worse than Zhao Wenzhuo. Especially in appearance, he is more handsome than Zhao Wenzhuo."

The martial arts director and acting assistant director returned to director Qiu Yinghong, and the two couldn't help but praise him.

Director Qiu Yinghong is from Baodao and is also a person who cherishes talent. He has been observing Xu Ning and said with a smile: "It's not bad. Let's find him a role."

Assistant Director Liu thought for a while: "There aren't many roles for Tong Bu Da in the play. Xu Ning is completely qualified for the role, but his temperament is better than Zhao Wenzhuo's, so he doesn't quite fit the character of Tong Bu Da."

Qiu Yinghong nodded: "The actor's contract has been signed, and there is no way to change it. So I will give him a few roles with lines, and I will contact him when there is a suitable one in the future."
