Chapter 798 April
Time passed slowly, and it was already April in a blink of an eye.
Kylin Video has grown to be on par with several other video platforms in just one year.
A large part of the reason is because of the quality of the web dramas they produce!
It even gives the audience a feeling that they have to go to Qilin Video to watch online dramas.
And this has become their biggest selling point, so many new directors or screenwriters come to the door with scripts, hoping to cooperate with Kylin Media.
Among them, Qi Lin was given a surprise.
That day Qi Lin came home from filming and was resting when he received a call from Qian Yingjun.
Qian Yingjun is currently shooting a movie, and he is also very busy. Qi Lin originally thought that he was looking for him because he wanted to invest more, but he didn't expect that he came to recommend someone for him.
"Boss, my teacher recommended a student to me. The graduation work is very good. Do you have time to look at it?"
"Director?"
"Well, a new director."
"Okay, send it to my mailbox."
After Qi Lin finished speaking, he went back to the room and picked up his computer. Young Master Qi was babbling and playing with Han Xue.
Qi Lin put on the earphones silently, opened the mailbox and watched the video sent by Qian Yingjun.
The video is not long, only ten minutes long.
After the picture unfolded, what came into view was a somewhat old street. At a glance, it was an old building decades ago. The geographical location was also a bit special, in the triangular area of a 'Y'-shaped road.
The surrounding buildings and the need for huge trees all give the picture a sense of age.
As the camera slowly descends and moves forward, the final picture freezes in a barber shop.
The things in the barber shop are a bit old, and the sanitation is not very good. An old man is half lying on a chair, and a middle-aged man in black casual clothes is shaving his face.
On a TV in the corner, a news program is playing.
"According to the latest news from our station, the world-class king, Mr. Mike had a heart attack yesterday afternoon."
The middle-aged man who was shaving the customer was taken aback for a moment, then slowly looked up at the TV with disbelief in his eyes.
Watching this scene, Qi Lin thumped in his heart, and was instantly attracted by the various emotions in these eyes.
First disbelief, followed by doubt, daze, denial, acceptance, collapse, and just in time stop!
Excessive and abnormal emotions, he obviously didn't speak, but he acted out everything with a pair of eyes and micro expressions on his face.
At this moment, Qi Lin had only one idea in mind, this actor must be scooped up!
The customer sensed that he had stopped, and opened his eyes wonderingly.
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing."
The middle-aged man continued to bow his head to shave the old man's face, but those eyes were more 'quiet' than before.
"How much?"
"Ah, five dollars."
The old man took out five yuan from his worn-out wallet and handed it to the boss before leaving. The boss held the money and put it into the cash box beside him, then took out a red plastic stool in the store, and sat there in front of the store, staring blankly. Looking at the busy traffic outside.
The pedestrians around the screen began to speed up, the vehicles also began to speed up, and the light began to change. The only thing that remained unchanged was the owner of the hairdressing shop, who was still sitting there blankly, motionless.
It was evening, the boss closed the shop and took the bus back home.
I bought a few oranges in the supermarket downstairs, packed them in plastic bags and walked into the old building.
"Come back, let's eat."
"Well, wife, you know what? Mike is dead."
"If you die, you will die. What does it matter to us?"
"That's the king of heaven."
"Can the King of Heaven be eaten?"
The eyes of middle-aged people are more 'quiet'.
The video ends here. It has to be said that the shooting technique is very sophisticated, and it is not obvious that this is a new director, but it is the actor who makes Qi Lin more interested!
After watching the video, Qi Lin called Qian Yingjundao directly.
"Handsome, who is this actor?"
Qian Yingjun on the other end of the phone was taken aback for a moment, but then he reacted.
"I don't have much impression of this, may I ask for you?"
"Um."
Qian Yingjun was still a little dazed after hanging up the phone, and thought to himself, didn't I introduce the director? Why is the boss still interested in actors?
He also saw that actor, and also felt that his acting skills were very good, especially the look in his eyes.
But the problem is that the image is not enough, so what about the image?
Ordinary, old, and very small person.
Different from Nie Xiaolong, this kind of actors often have a very narrow play path, and the upper limit of their cultivation can be seen at a glance.
Qian Yingjun found the junior brother's number on his mobile phone and dialed it. The other party answered the ring within two seconds, obviously staying by the phone all the time.
"Hello, brother."
"Junior brother, where did you find that leading actor?"
"Actor? Oh, oh, a friend recommended him, Zhang Dongchu, a group performer. I was just looking for someone with a good image and cheap, so I used him."
"Give me his contact information."
"Okay, I'll send it to you, what's wrong, brother?"
"Boss Qi admires this actor very much."
Fang Shan on the other end of the phone looked confused, what the hell? If I remember correctly, I remember that it should be recommended me, how did you fall in love with an actor?
Maybe feeling Fang Shan's emotions, Qian Yingjun smiled.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qi has taken a fancy to actors, so he must have also taken a fancy to your work! Don't worry, it shouldn't be a big problem for you to join Kylin Media."
Hearing what Qian Yingjun said, Fang Shan was relieved.
After Qi Lin got Zhang Dongchu's phone number, he picked up his other mobile phone and dialed it.
For strangers, Qi Lin would not use his private number, otherwise it would be really dangerous. If it leaked out, he would be blown away in minutes.
At the moment, Zhang Dongchu is having a simple dinner with his wife and children in an apartment in Yanjing.
It can be seen from the dilapidated appliances and simple meals that the family's life is still relatively tight.
Zhang Dongchu gritted his teeth as he looked at his growing son.
"Tomorrow, I will go out and find a class."
The wife was surprised when she heard the words: "Aren't you going to wait for the show?"
"Hey, there are more and more actors now, and the requirements for group performances are also higher. I don't have any masterpieces, and I'm getting older. I can't even earn my daily expenses just by playing the corpse of the second ghost."
Zhang Dongchu's wife is a bit fat, but she said with a cheerful smile when she heard this.
"Hey, the money I earn as a nanny is enough. You have been acting for so many years. Wouldn't it be a pity to give up like this?"
Hearing his wife's words, Zhang Dongchu's expression became more complicated, and he smiled wryly after a few seconds of silence.
"There's nothing to be sorry about. I've been acting for so long and haven't made it to the top. I haven't even gotten a special contract. I should be sober."
