After Director Li said this.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Zhang Fengyi immediately stood up and raised the cup filled with tea in front of the table. Then he looked at everyone with a smile and said: "Come on, come on, let's toast Xiao Lin. He just won the Best Actor, so don't worry about it."

For the pay, come over and act with us old bones. If we have any good things to do in the future, we can’t forget them."

He was the one who called Lin Yuan to help. His willingness to star in this TV series was a sign of favor for veteran drama stars like them. Otherwise, given that he now holds the title of the new best actor, many employers would be willing to pay big bucks to hire him.

Go star in a movie or TV series that you invest in.

Therefore, the veteran actors and actresses present were not stupid. They understood what Zhang Fengyi meant. They all raised their cups, replaced the wine with tea, and toasted Lin Yuan together.

Lin Yuan was a little flattered, but he didn't dare to flatter him, so he quickly and politely gave these seniors a drink in return.

After finishing the polite words, everyone sat back down and chatted away. Director Zhang suddenly looked at Lin Yuan with some curiosity: "Lin Yuan, why do you insist on playing the role of Qi Tongwei?

"

As soon as the director's question came out, everyone was curious.

"Yes, Lin Yuan. When you didn't come just now, we discussed it for a long time and agreed that you are suitable for the role of Hou Liangping."

"If you think there is something wrong with Hou Liangping's character, our screenwriter Zhou Meisen happens to be here too, so it's not impossible to ask him to change it."

The veteran actors are also very puzzled. Judging from Lin Yuan's current popularity, playing the bright and righteous character Hou Liangping will definitely help him attract a large number of fans, but others just don't play the leading role.

They had to play a villain and a supporting role, which they couldn't figure out.

They have also seen the role of Qi Tongwei. The design is indeed wonderful, but it is still a supporting role. The length of the portrayal is destined not to exceed that of the protagonist Hou Liangping. To put it simply, playing the role of Qi Tongwei is definitely not as good as playing the role of Hou Liangping.

.

With doubts in their hearts, everyone looked at Lin Yuan, wondering why he chose the role of Qi Tongwei.

When Lin Yuan heard everyone's inquiry, he did not answer in a hurry. Instead, after thinking for a moment, he expressed his understanding very seriously: "The reason why I chose this role is also very simple. It is because this role makes me want to stop.

When I first read the script, I thought Qi Tongwei was a disgusting villain who was scheming, opportunistic, and at the same time swaying around and worrying about gains and losses."

"But when I looked behind him, I realized that he was born in poverty, but he longed to get ahead; he excelled in his studies, but suffered unfair treatment; he clung to a wealthy family, but had no choice but to rely on others; he climbed to a high position, but could not curb his greed; and finally he played with fire and burned himself, ending in a tragic ending.

.....”

"The first half of Qi Tongwei's life was a legendary struggle history of grassroots counterattacks, while the second half of his life can be summed up by the phrase 'watching him build a Zhulou, watching him entertain guests, watching his building collapse', so compared to Hou Liangping,

I want to challenge a character like Qi Tongwei whose life is full of ups and downs."

As Lin Yuan slowly explained his understanding of Qi Tongwei's character word by word, veteran actors such as Zhang Fengyi, Wu Gang, Gao Yalin and others on the side also nodded their heads in subtle ways.

I have to say that Lin Yuan is really good at understanding characters. In a short period of time, he completely understood the character Qi Tongwei.

When Lin Yuan finally concluded the role of Qi Tongwei, everyone in the box was shocked by his words.

They didn't doubt Lin Yuan's ability to understand the role at all. If he didn't even understand the role, then Lin Yuan's reputation as the actor would be too low. What shocked them was that they didn't expect Lin Yuan to be so successful in such a short period of time.

, you can have such a deep understanding of the character Qi Tongwei.

They had known and discussed the character of Qi Tongwei, but they had never dissected the character as deeply as Lin Yuan did. Of course, this does not mean that Lin Yuan's ability to understand the character was much better than theirs.

It's just that when they read the script, they definitely won't spend so much time thinking about each character. Only for the kind of character that makes their eyes shine from the beginning, they are willing to spend time exploring the depth of the character.

charm.

So after Lin Yuan expressed his understanding of Qi Tongwei's character, the veteran actors present fell into deep thought and began to analyze whether Lin Yuan's understanding of the character was correct.

Screenwriter Zhou Meisen, who created the character Qi Tongwei, after hearing Lin Yuan's understanding, his eyes were filled with golden light: "Director Li, look at their understanding of this character. Now you don't have to worry about being unable to portray Qi Tongwei's feelings, right?"

?”

It is no exaggeration to say that he was relieved when Lin Yuan expressed his understanding of Qi Tongwei. Now after hearing Zhou Musen's words, he could only joke: "I knew Teacher Lin Yuan had such a deep understanding of Qi Tongwei's character.

I won’t say anything about playing Hou Pingliang.”

Although the words were meant as a joke, the meaning was very clear. He no longer had any worries, and the role of Qi Tongwei was given to Lin Yuanlai.

Speaking of Lin Yuan, in fact, when he read the script, he didn't pay attention to the role of Qi Tongwei at first. After all, they wanted him to play the role of Hou Liangping.

It was just that after he read the performance of Hou Liangping's character in the script, he felt a little disappointed.

As the starring role in the play, after reading the entire script, Lin Yuan was not impressed at all by the character who had the most scenes.

After this happened, Lin Yuan felt that the reason was very simple. The character of Hou Liangping was too facial, and there was no shining point in the character. Therefore, no matter how good his acting skills were, he would not be able to play a facial character well.

How brilliant.

All joking aside, any capable actor could have played the role of Hou Liangping. In the entire script and story, he is completely a tool to promote the plot.

For this reason, Lin Yuan naturally did not want to take this role. At the same time, he was also somewhat selfish. He knew that this script was a good script as soon as he saw it. Since it is a good script, it will definitely become a hit after it is broadcast. Once it becomes a hit, he will

If you were to play the role of a tool man like Hou Liangping, wouldn't it be a loss of blood?

Compared with the role of a tool man, the role of Qi Tongwei immediately became extremely brilliant.

In his opinion, this character is a real man of flesh and blood with love and righteousness.

For example, in the script, this character is willing to propose to a woman who is several years older than him in order to get a higher position.

Compared with fantasy characters like Hou Liangping, Qi Tongwei is a character that is truly realistic and can make people feel involved at a glance.

Therefore, this is the main reason why he chose the role of Qi Tongwei.

Of course, as a public figure, there are some things he still cannot say in person and can only be buried in his heart.

Hiding his thoughts in his heart, Lin Yuan didn't say much. As for who Director Li would choose to play the role of Hou Liangping next, that was not something he needed to worry about.

At the dinner party, there were still several veteran actors immersed in Lin Yuan's analysis of Qi Tongwei's character.

Director Li Lu also stood up and greeted all the actors present: "Come on, come on, let's eat first."

Following his greeting, the veteran actors in the box also came to their senses.

For the older generation of actors, they don't have the baggage of being idols. They eat when they want to, and they don't hold back anything.

I just occasionally ask about Lin Yuan's affairs while eating, just like an elder caring about a younger generation.

Lin Yuan also took this opportunity to ask these veteran actors a lot of questions. The veteran actors used their more than ten years of acting experience to answer Lin Yuan one by one.

At the end of the dinner, Zhang Fengyi asked Lin Yuan to take the time to write an application to the Film Association.

It just so happens that Lin Yuan has won an award at the International Class A Film Festival, so there is no problem joining the Film Association, which will also help him a lot in the future.

Joining the Film Association is of no harm to Lin Yuan. It will not only improve his status in the entertainment industry, but also expand his network. The most important thing is that the judges of the domestic Golden Rooster Awards are basically all film

The directors of the association will obviously give priority to the association members when the quality of the films is not much different.

Lin Yuan silently kept this information in mind and prepared to go back and let Sister Xia handle the matter.

.......

After coming out of Dafugui Restaurant.

Not long after Lin Yuan arrived at the apartment, Sister Xia called.

Before Lin Yuan had time to ask what happened.

Sister Xia's angry words came from the other end of the phone: "My ancestor, what are you doing!"

"What's wrong? Sister Xia."

"The 20 million salary I just promoted here has been reduced to 12 million. You are really good at it. When people become movie stars, they would like to double their salary. Are you doing charity?"

As Sister Xia's hateful voice came over the phone, Lin Yuan finally understood why he was angry.

Apparently his assistant reported to Sister Xia his agreement to Director Li to star in the drama "In the Name of the People".

Although the contract has not been signed yet, the remuneration and other things have just been decided at the dinner party.

It's just that Lin Yuan thought this matter could be kept secret for a few more days.

Who knew that Sister Xia would know the news so quickly, which made Lin Yuan feel like he had been caught and raped in bed.

Lin Yuan smiled awkwardly and explained to the other end of the phone: "Sister Xia, you can't just look at the pay. I have read the script of this TV series and it is very good. Moreover, this is a TV series with the main theme, although the pay is a bit lower.

, but it can improve your reputation. You can’t just win the Best Actor title and not think about your future fame, right?”

Seeing that Sister Xia was still breathing heavily on the other end of the phone, Lin Yuan continued to add: "This TV series was invited by Teacher Zhang Fengyi, and there are more than a dozen veteran actors participating in it. I can't help but sell this face."

Well, otherwise the news would come out the next day that I was acting like a big star just after winning the Best Actor Award."

Hearing this, Sister Xia also sighed helplessly.

She knew better than anyone that Lin Yuan was making excuses.

In her opinion, even if Teacher Zhang Fengyi invites them, they can't find excuses to decline. In the final analysis, the final decision-making power still lies in Lin Yuan's hands.

But now that Lin Yuan has agreed, they can't refuse, and they can't do anything about Lin Yuan. Now the whole company is almost focused on Lin Yuan. It's okay for her agent to make some suggestions, but let her make the decision.

, do you have that qualification?

Thinking of this, Sister Xia could only complain and remind Lin Yuan: "Next time the pay is too low, you should discuss it with me, otherwise wouldn't you be lowering your worth?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely discuss it with Sister Xia next time." Lin Yuan knew that the other party was doing it for his own good, but businessmen and actors still think differently about some things. Sister Xia thinks about things from a business perspective, while he thinks about things from a business perspective.

You think about things from the perspective of your future and your identity as an actor. When you think about issues from different perspectives, ambiguities will naturally arise.

Just like that, after hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan sat on the sofa and started thinking.
