Chapter 294: Great Risk
In just a moment, Ruan Tang, with his upright posture, hunched his shoulders and bent his waist, imitating the Monkey King's signature move.
He scratched his head, looked forward to it, and then suddenly had an idea and dodged left and right.
The expression also becomes very lively as the movements progress.
Sometimes he bared his teeth and glared, and sometimes he raised the corners of his lips, full of confidence.
Not to mention, he restored 70% of the original Monkey King’s expressions and movements.
He doesn't have any idol baggage at all.
Director Wan nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, the imitation is very similar."
But that's all. If it's just imitation, it's not the effect he wants.
Ruan Tang also realized that his performance did not satisfy Director Wan.
His eyes rolled and he suddenly thought of something.
I asked Director Wan: "Can I use a prop?"
Director Wan raised an eyebrow, "What props?"
Ruan Tang's eyes swept around the conference room and finally stopped on the mop in the corner behind the door.
"this one."
Director Wan nodded and said, "Use it."
Seeing the props he was pointing at, Director Wan had already guessed his intention.
Ruan Tang walked over and took the mop in his hand to try it out. The mop itself was not heavy, but the weights of the two ends were different. The end with the mop head was obviously heavier, so one needed to keep the balance at all times when using it.
But this was not a difficult task for him.
I saw him holding the mop in one hand and turning it around in his hand.
The mop seemed to be connected to his hand, spinning smoothly in the air, completely unaffected by gravity.
After one circle, Ruan Tang held the mop firmly in his hand.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, then opened them again, and his aura changed again.
He performed a set of stick techniques for Director Wan in public.
Of course, Ruan Tang had never learned any systematic stick techniques, but he had seen a movie before in which the protagonist played with a stick in public.
He briefly recalled it in his head, combined it with the Monkey King's signature moves, and improvised a simple set of stick techniques.
Even at the end, he could spin the stick and perform a backflip.
Director Wan's eyes were filled with surprise.
After Ruan Tang finished his performance, he couldn't help but ask, "Have you learned martial arts?"
Ruan Tang nodded, "Just some simple self-defense skills."
This sounds very humble.
Just like that backflip just now, it would have been impossible to complete it without some core strength.
No wonder Meng Lei recommended Ruan Tang to him, he is indeed a perfect match.
Among today's young actors, very few can perform fighting scenes.
It is even more difficult to find someone who matches your image and temperament.
Not to mention good acting skills.
He had just seen Ruan Tang's acting skills, which were indeed good, plus the fact that he knew martial arts. If there were no other suitable actors, he could basically have decided on the role.
However, Director Wan didn't finish his words, and only said: "This performance is wonderful, but the new movie is still in preparation. I will notify you when it is confirmed."
"Okay, Director Wan, I look forward to the opportunity to work with you."
He really wants to play his idol.
Seeing this, Tang Ming, who was waiting on the side, breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it hasn’t been decided yet.
On the way back, he asked Ruan Tang: "Do you really want to do this sequel to Journey to the West?"
"Of course, and this is Director Wan's play, don't you want me to be in it?"
Hope is hope, but that’s “Journey to the West”!
As one of the four great classics, it has been remade countless times and criticized countless times by netizens.
If Ruan Tang participated in the film and the movie Kou Pei failed, he couldn't imagine how harsh the accusations from netizens would be.
Tang Ming sighed: "The main risk is a bit high."
Ruan Tang curled his lips, "The greater the risk, the higher the return, right?"
He was aware of Tang Ming's worries.
I am still a newcomer, and if I can get a role in Director Wan's movie, even if it is a supporting role, many people will be jealous.
Not to mention that this time he is competing for one of the protagonists of the movie.
If he could really get it, not to mention his former rivals in the circle, I'm afraid many other actors would dislike him.
Moreover, the acting skills of newcomers will be criticized by the audience to some extent, but he became famous for his acting skills.
The higher you are hit, the harder you fall.
If the movie is not well made, he will be the first one to be used as an outlet by the audience.
And his enemies or those who dislike him will add insult to injury.
This is definitely a huge blow to a newcomer.
But for Ruan Tang, failure is never the end, but just a small setback.
Or it can be said to be the cornerstone of his life.
He can win and lose, the worst that can happen is he can just start over again.
Seeing the confidence in his eyes, Tang Ming didn't want to persuade him anymore, because he knew that no matter how hard he tried, it would be useless.
This young master has always been very opinionated. As an agent, he only needs to play his supporting role well.
And the role hasn't been decided yet after all.
Worrying too much now seems a bit unfounded.
After the interview, Ruan Tang sent Tang Ming back to the company and returned to the old house.
He came back in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to talk to his grandma or his lovely little Snowball.
This time I was away for more than half a month. Although it was not as long as the filming time, it also gave Grandma Mo a lot to think about.
After all, the grandson and his wife were not at home, which made the old man, who was used to the bustling old house, very uncomfortable.
This morning, when she saw him, the first thing Grandma Mo said was that she felt heartbroken.
"Oh, Tangtang, have you lost weight? It seems your face has become pointy."
Still the familiar recipe, grandma thinks you’re thin.
But Ruan Tang felt very cordial.
He shook his head. "I didn't lose weight. I gained weight."
Although I really wanted to share the fun things that happened during variety show filming and traveling with my grandma, I gave up because I had an audition appointment.
When Ruan Tang arrived home, Grandma Mo was basking in the sun in the garden.
He asked the butler to prepare snacks and had afternoon tea with her.
"Grandma, we met Jin Zhang when we went to New City this time."
When talking about New City, Ruan Tang spoke.
Grandma Mo was a little surprised, "How is Jin Zhang doing recently?"
"He's a good guy. He found something he likes. I even developed games with him..."
Hearing this, Grandma Mo nodded and said, "That's good too. I've always been afraid that this child would be influenced by his mother."
After all, he is her own grandson. Although Grandma Mo doesn't like Second Aunt Mo, she still likes Jin Zhang very much.
Especially when she was a child, Qin Shumin often sent Mo Jinzhang to the old house to accompany her in order to please her.
As for the child Jin Zhang, unlike the second child who is dull, he has inherited some of Qin Shumin's cleverness and is very sweet-spoken.
As soon as she arrived, she kept calling her grandma, saying she wanted to draw a picture for her, and then she picked flowers from the garden and gave them to her.
How could Grandma Mo not feel pain?
Unfortunately, Jin Zhang's academic performance was not very good later on, and he was strictly controlled by Qin Shumin. He came less often and was later sent abroad.
"He said that he would come back earlier for the New Year this year and would call more often during normal times."
Grandma Mo nodded, "Okay, okay, you are all good children."
As an elder, it is a relief to see that the younger generations can live in harmony and support each other.
