Chapter 271 Want to be a substitute
There are usually only two situations when a newcomer plays the leading male role in his first play. The first is that he has financial support behind him, and the second is that his image and temperament are very outstanding, which perfectly matches the image of the male protagonist in the play.
Lu Yun was brought in by the investors, and he is also Xiao Qin's younger brother, so he has a lot of capital. However, the reason why he was favored by Chen Su was definitely not because of his capital.
What Chen Su valued was purely Lu Yun's personal charm.
The actors around, no matter they were extras, male or female supporting roles, all had their eyes sparkling with envy when they heard Chen Su say that he wanted to make Lu Yun the leading male role.
This is what they have always dreamed of!
Director Chen's ability is obvious to everyone. He has made countless new stars famous. To be noticed by him is a blessing that you would never get in your lifetime.
This is clearly an opportunity to achieve success overnight.
however.
Lu Yun refused.
He refused very simply.
Everyone was feeling somewhat unhappy.
The opportunity that they treasured was thrown away like a worn-out shoe in front of Lu Yun. The gap between people was simply incomparable.
All roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome.
This is the reality, an extremely cruel reality.
At first, everyone just felt hatred. They hated why this opportunity didn't fall on them, and they hated why Lu Yun didn't cherish such a good opportunity.
But after calming down, they soon felt relieved.
Opportunities don't fall on me because I am mediocre and can't make even a single wave in the crowd, so I can't blame anyone.
The reason why Lu Yun gave up the chance to play the leading actor was that this opportunity meant nothing to him.
Everyone had seen Lu Yun's skills before, and they also realized that he was a martial artist. Martial artists' strength was obvious, and they didn't need to gain recognition through acting.
And they just heard clearly that Lu Yun was Xiao Qin's younger brother.
Given Xiao Qin's status in the entertainment industry, the capital power behind her is enormous. Lu Yun doesn't need to do anything. He just needs to take advantage of her and quietly be a big boss behind the scenes. Wouldn't that be great?
Won't those glamorous and dazzling goddess-level stars eventually fall prey to these big guys behind the scenes?
So thinking in this way, it is not difficult for everyone to understand Lu Yun's behavior.
But they never expected that Lu Yun gave up this opportunity simply because he didn't want to show up in public, and it was not as complicated as they thought.
If Lu Yun really wants to become famous, does he still need to rely on acting?
Revealing the identity of Lord Yuntian is more convincing than anything else.
in the crowd.
A young man dressed in ancient costume, seeing Lu Yun reject Chen Su's invitation, let go of his worried heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
His name is Li Chengfeng. He is the leading male star of this drama. He also debuted as a popular young actor back then. It can be said that this trend was started by him, and since then, the era of traffic in film and television dramas has begun.
However, Li Chengfeng was unwilling to be labeled as a traffic star. After becoming famous a few years ago, he did not use his fame to make money crazily. Instead, he took a few years to hone his acting skills.
This drama is his comeback work. His acting skills have been significantly improved compared to before. He also hopes that through this drama, he can completely get rid of the title of traffic star and join the ranks of acting school.
So this drama is very important to him.
If Lu Yun accepted Chen Su's invitation, it is very likely that Li Chengfeng's role as the leading male role would be replaced. After all, although he has the support of capital behind him, it is still slightly weaker than Xiao Qin.
Lu Yun's refusal was equivalent to giving Li Chengfeng an opportunity.
Li Chengfeng couldn't help but cast a grateful look towards Lu Yun.
But at this moment, Lu Yun suddenly laughed strangely and said, "Director Chen, although I don't plan to get involved in the entertainment industry, I will definitely support my sixth sister's play."
The moment he heard these words, Li Chengfeng's heart was gripped again.
Chen Su's eyes lit up and he said, "Is Mr. Lu going to finish this play with Miss Xiao and then retire?"
He reached the peak when he debuted and retired at the peak. What a courage!
Chen Su doesn't care whether Lu Yun will act in the future or not. As long as Lu Yun can play the leading role once, he will be satisfied. After all, what Chen Su expects most is that someone can interpret the artistic conception in his mind.
Lu Yun is very suitable.
Chen Su's hope was rekindled, and he looked at Lu Yun expectantly, but he saw Lu Yun shook his head and said, "Director Chen misunderstood what I meant. I wanted to say that if there are any passionate scenes related to my Sixth Sister, I can be a stand-in, even a kissing scene is fine."
"Uh……"
When Lu Yun said this, everyone, including Chen Su and Li Chengfeng, were stunned.
Instead of playing the leading role, he chose to play a stand-in?
The young man is really promising.
Xiao Qin was also slightly stunned, and then glared at Lu Yun with resentment. This old rogue, does his purpose have to be so clear?
Chen Su looked at Xiao Qin strangely and said, "Miss Xiao, it seems that your brother doesn't quite understand your criteria for accepting roles."
Xiao Qin basically doesn't know how to do kissing scenes, let alone passionate scenes. Even if she does, she will use a stand-in to perform the role.
So the situation that Lu Yun described does not exist at all.
The old pervert's wish was dashed.
Chen Su suggested, "Mr. Lu, Miss Xiao doesn't have this part, but several female supporting roles in the play do have related scenes, and they are all played by the real person. How about you consider it?"
The actresses who can play supporting roles in the plays directed by Chen Su are all of a certain level of beauty. Although they are not as good-looking as Xiao Qin, they are at least second-tier stars, and not everyone can act with them.
But after hearing what Chen Su said, the eyes of several beautiful female supporting roles nearby who had related scenes actually lit up, and they felt a sense of anticipation.
