Shencheng is located in Northeast China.

Fan Shan sat alone in the study, his brows furrowed and his eyes looking out the window in a daze from time to time.

At the Spring Festival Gala more than ten years ago, due to too much pressure, he accidentally said a wrong line. From then on, he decided to stay away from the Spring Festival Gala stage forever.

No matter how many years old actors have attended the Spring Festival Gala, you can imagine the pressure they have to bear when faced with a national live broadcast. Whether it is eyes, expressions, or even a few seconds of pause, everything is fully presented in front of the audience.

There are many sketch actors like Fan Shan who, after finishing their performances, come off the stage and cry.

Later, I also performed some sketches on some small stages, but as I grew older, my creative ability declined significantly and I was unable to reach the previous height. In order to no longer consume my image in the audience's mind, I slowly broke out of the sketch industry.

.

By chance, one of his friends, who was a film director, played a small cameo role in the film when he was on a tour.

Fan Shan was very famous back then. As soon as the movie was aired, it became a hit instantly, and from then on he had the idea of ​​becoming an actor.

For a sketch actor, the first impression the audience has when seeing him is "joy", which has also led to many directors looking for him to play comedy roles in dramas.

In the era when comedies were popular, he indeed made a successful transition and created many successful roles on the big screen.

Then, comedy roles were not what Fan Shan was pursuing. Looking at the roles he had played, he suddenly realized that they were no different from acting in sketches, so he decided to change his acting style and star in a 'serious drama'. He no longer relied on jokes to please the audience, but relied on

The acting skills penetrate people's hearts.

There is a saying circulating in the industry that sketch and crosstalk actors do not need to be good-looking.

Fan Shan's appearance is relatively average. At that time, the selection of actors for domestic film and television works was gradually moving towards good looks. What's more, he was born as a sketch actor. Considering his impression in the audience, the director naturally did not dare to cast him lightly.

try.

Fan Shan didn't give up when he couldn't get the role. He decided to start with small roles and gradually change his image in the eyes of the audience.

Fan Shan has always known what he wants, and every step he takes shows his ambition. He is very patient in his career as an actor.

Although the role was small, he still played it with all his strength. Since then, he has created classic small roles. They are all low-level people with insignificant lives, but Fan Shan performed the essence of life.

Hard work pays off.

After several years of accumulation, the transformation was finally successful and he became an experienced actor.

Acting has long been a part of life, and it is his principle that he would rather not act than accept a bad movie.

Fan Shan withdrew his gaze and returned his attention to the script.

Recently, it has become popular in the group to hire veteran actors to film movies. He has also received many scripts, but the quality of the scripts is very poor, and none of them can meet his requirements.

The only thing I could read was the script in my hand, from Tianjing Entertainment Company, starring the hero's father.

I have read the script once, and although it is generally good, it is absolutely impossible for it to become a hit drama.

Moreover, the plot of this drama is relatively redundant, and many plot designs are meaningless at all. It is obvious that it is just to make up the length.

After some thought, Fan Shan put the script aside. The more he read it, the more dissatisfied he became with it.

‘Ring ring ring, ring ring ring.’ The mobile phone placed in the living room suddenly rang.

Fan Shan doesn't like to carry his mobile phone with him. He always puts it on the coffee table in the living room when he is at home.

Fan Shan took off his reading glasses and walked out of the study in a leisurely manner. He picked up his cell phone and saw that it was a call from Beijing.

"no impression."

He has seen many cases in the news of elderly people being defrauded, so he rarely answers unknown calls and is prepared to hang up.

But then I thought about my son being in the capital.

His son had been busy with work and hadn't contacted him for a while, so Fan Shan wondered if the call was from his son who had changed his mobile phone number. If it wasn't his son, he just hung up.

After making the decision, Fan Shan answered the phone and asked: "Hello! Who is this?"

"Hello! I am Qian Tao, are you Teacher Fan Shanfan?"

"I don't know you, hang up." In Fan Shan's memory, there was no such person at all, and he directly thought it was a scam call.

Qian Tao said hurriedly: "Wait a moment, Mr. Fan, I am the director of the TV series department of Bright Entertainment Company. You can check my relevant information online, Qian Tao, money money, rough waves."

"Young, the scam calls nowadays are really serious. They think they are an entertainment company. You dialed the wrong number. My name is Tan Yue."

"Your phone number was given to me by Teacher Liang Gaobo." Qian Tao explained again, for fear of hanging up the phone. The Liang Gaobo he mentioned was an old friend of Fan Shan's circle for many years.

"Are you really from Bright Entertainment?" Hearing his old friend's name, Fan Shan's thoughts of immediately hanging up the phone gradually disappeared.

"I didn't lie to you, Teacher Fan, I am the department director of Bright Entertainment Company."

"What do you want from me?"

Fan Shan was very confused in his heart. He had no contact with the Bright Entertainment Company, so how could he suddenly find him, and the other party was also a director.

"I am in charge of the company's TV drama department. I have a script in hand right now. The characters are very suitable for you. I hope you can come over and try out the play." Qian Tao continued: "If you don't have time now, we can wait.

you."

"TV drama?"

"Yes."

As an actor, he certainly knows the influence of Bright Entertainment in the industry, having produced many hits. Especially Tan Yue's dramas, he likes them very much.

The dramas produced by Bright Entertainment are generally relatively reliable. For example, the recent "Hurry Up" is a phenomenal work that has attracted the attention of the entire industry.

Thinking that I have been worrying about finding a script recently, I started to feel a little shaken.

Qian Tao on the other end of the phone was afraid of Fan Shan's rejection and said: "The quality of this script is absolutely guaranteed. I can guarantee it. You can rest assured in this regard. The character is also very compatible with you and is very suitable for you."

Since it is Mr. Tan's choice, of course there is no problem.

Fan Shan became more and more excited and said, "I can try it."

"when do you have time?"

"I've been at home all the time recently. I can do it anytime. But I'm in Shencheng now. It will take me some time to get there."

Qian Tao immediately became excited. After all, it was the task given by Mr. Tan, and said: "Let's set it in three days. Do you need us to send someone to pick you up?"

"No, no need." Fan Shan refused: "I can go there by myself."

"No problem. When the time comes, you can tell me your arrival time in the capital, and we will send someone to pick you up at the airport."

"good."

This time Fan Shan did not refuse.

...

...

Three days later.

A commercial vehicle stopped in front of the Bright Entertainment Company.

"Teacher Fan, this is our Bright Entertainment Company."

Fan Shan got out of the car and felt a little shocked when he looked at the brilliant entertainment company in front of him.

He has heard that there are only three entertainment companies in the domestic entertainment industry that have the strength to own independent office buildings, and the building of Cuican Entertainment Company is the most magnificent. This is also his first time to visit such a large entertainment company.

"Teacher Fan, please come in." This person was sent by the public relations department to pick up the plane at the airport.

Fan Shan said embarrassedly: "The bag is a bit heavy, so let me carry it."

He also wanted to take this opportunity to see his son and his family, so he brought many specialties.

"It's okay, Teacher Fan, I'll just come, please come in!"

Fan Shan was led by the staff to the reception room of Bright Entertainment Company.

"Teacher Fan, please drink some water. Please wait a moment. Mr. Qian will be here soon."

Fan Shan nodded "Yes".

I have been here all the way, by plane and by car. I am tired at this age, and I am a little tired both physically and mentally.

Waited briefly.

The door of the conference room opened.

"Mr. Qian." The staff introduced: "This is Teacher Fan Shanfan."

Fan Shan has also stood up.

"Hello, Teacher Fan! This is Qian Tao who called you a few days ago."

"Hello, Director Qian!"

The two shook hands.

"Teacher Fan, please sit down." Qian Tao arranged, "Pour some more water for Teacher Fan."

"Thanks."

"Thank you for your hard work along the way."

"As actors, we are used to this kind of life of flying around. I had never noticed it before. This time I came here and suddenly realized that I am really old and my body is not as strong as before."
