I'm just an actor

Chapter 51 Rehearsal
"Xiao Xu, what's the matter, I heard that you almost disappeared a while ago?"

Wrapped in a thick down jacket, Xu Rong turned to join the film crew again. As soon as Li Youbin saw him, he trotted over and took his hand to greet him.

Xu Rong couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard the words, and could only say: "Actually, it's not as serious as you said, it's just freezing, but fortunately it's not a serious problem."

Li Youbin looked him over carefully, and said, "Hey, why did you lose weight when I looked at you? Why, didn't you rest well during this period?"

That kindness is like finding a long-lost son.

Not right.

Xu Rong was keenly aware that something was quite wrong.

Li Youbin is really too enthusiastic today, this is already the seventh time he has changed the scene, and every time he met Li Youbin in the previous transition, he has never been so concerned, and he usually said: "You are coming?"

Xu Rong subconsciously pulled his arm out of Li Youbin's hand, looked at him suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

There is enough wine for the crew, so Li Youbin doesn't need to treat himself anymore, does he?
"Why are you hiding so far away?" Li Youbin saw Xu Rong's vigilant eyes mixed with alertness, his expression was like a face changing in a Sichuan opera, he said tensely at first, then suddenly softened a lot, and took two steps forward, He said earnestly and earnestly: "Your father, I feel sorry for you. Three sons, you are the one who works the hardest, running around all day long."

"You can pull it down." Xu Rong listened to his lame reason, and didn't believe it at all. Li Youbin's acting style was very different from Chen Baoguo's. He was not deeply involved in the play. In comparison, Li Youbin paid more attention to the use of skills. Emotions come second.

"Oh, let me show you the truth." Li Youbin paused, his face suddenly fell, he let out a long sigh, he pulled Xu Rong aside, and said in a low voice: "When I took this scene, the contract actually There is a gambling agreement attached, if the ratings are not in the top ten of the year, I will work and contribute for free, and I will not lose a penny."

Xu Rong stared blankly at Li Youbin, half-believing in his heart, the key point is, would Li Youbin really sign such a gambling agreement?

Is that necessary?

No matter how you think about it, it's a deal that won't make a profit.

He thought of a possibility, and asked tentatively, "What if the bet wins?"

Li Youbin stretched out two fingers, shook them in mid-air, and said, "2.5 times."

"Hiss..." Xu Rong thought for a while, and when a specific concept emerged in his mind, he couldn't help but gasped. This temptation is really amazing.

Li Youbin's current film salary is already above average in the first-line industry, what is the concept of multiplying it by 2.5 times?
30 per episode, "Crossing the Guandong" has 52 episodes. As the actual male lead, basically each episode has more than five scenes.

Moreover, Li Youbin didn't sign with a brokerage company, so he didn't have to worry about the company's commission. If he won the bet, even if he paid the taxes, he could still get tens of millions.

Thinking about myself, I was happy for a long time when I got a salary of [-] yuan last time. It was also filming, and he was paid for three months a day.

Seeing Xu Rong's dumbfounded, Li Youbin hurriedly said: "What I want to tell you is not about the amount of money. To be honest, the pressure is high. I've been thinking about it for a while, and it's all about us and my father." Woolen cloth."

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger, first to himself, and then to Xu Rong's chest.

Xu Rong didn't think there was anything wrong with his words. In terms of professional ability, Ding Jiali, Gao Ming and others were excluded, and among the main creators, only Li Youbin could completely suppress him.

But no matter how you think about it, you still feel that Li Youbin did it recklessly, so he said: "No, but it's too risky to do it that way. If you don't achieve it in the end, then you have been working in vain this year?"

Xu Rong understands Li Youbin's situation, he has been very tight recently, if he works for nothing for another year, it will really make things worse.

"Who says it's not?" Li Youbin lit a cigarette, and said with a sad face: "But you also know that I was really short of money at that time. When someone said it, my brain got hot and I signed it. It's more than 1000 million Well, how dare you think about it before, it's like a dream."

Seeing Li Youbin's regretful expression, Xu Rong believed most of it in his heart. He knew that Li Youbin was really short of money at the beginning of the year, and it would cost a lot to quell the negative public opinion, so he couldn't help asking: "Then what are you going to do?"

Li Youbin took a puff on his cigarette, looked him up and down again, and said, "I see that you've almost lost your status in the transition, and you don't have an assistant to help you. How about you go to my room at night. I'll give you the words, you look for the status first, you can't get out of the basket."

Xu Rong also understood that what Li Youbin said was indeed correct. He ran at both ends of the two groups, and the two groups kept switching. With a big influence, he hesitated for a moment, then agreed, and said, "Well, I'm off work tonight, so I'll go find you."

Xu Rong is not too worried about Li Youbin's gambling agreement. A "Bright Sword" is enough for Li Youbin to earn money for a few more years, and now that "Stepfather" is on the air, even if it doesn't happen this year, he will still be able to make money next year. to money.

And as "Stepfather" played halfway through, it proved his prediction once again that Li Youbin was really a cancer, if he couldn't suppress him, he would crush him to death.

However, he also knew that when he was filming "Stepfather", his professional level was really mediocre, and it was only at the end that he found his status. The reason why he was suppressed by Li Youbin was also due to his own ability.

After the two made an agreement, they went about their own business. After work in the evening, Xu Rong first went back to the hotel to take off his makeup, seized the hard-won opportunity to shoot in the city, took a hot bath first, and waited to turn around. Then the scene shifted to the location, and the difficulty of taking a bath increased exponentially.

After tidying up, he went out and walked to the door of Li Youbin's room. It seemed that Li Youbin had been waiting for him a long time ago. He only knocked once, and the door opened with a bitter face.

Li Youbin stepped aside and asked, "Why is it taking so long?"

"I took a bath, and I was exhausted during this period. I was in Xuexiang a while ago. You didn't know that it was difficult to even drink hot water. If you eat slowly, it will be cool."

Xu Rong sighed, and entered the door, the room was clean and tidy, except for an ashtray on the edge of the table in the outer room of the suite, and a golden trophy in the middle of the table.

On the red base of the trophy, on it is a metal shape of a golden woman with her hands raised high. The woman holds a small eagle in her hands.

Of course Xu Rong knew what this trophy was, the Golden Eagle Trophy, among the three TV drama awards, the honor with the least technical gold content, but it was the most profitable honor.

Seeing the trophy, Xu Rong completely understood that Li Youbin didn't sign some kind of gambling agreement, and he didn't want to play with him. He made it clear that he wanted to show off the Golden Eagle Award he just won a while ago.

He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Seeing Xu Rongzi entered the room, Li Youbin was stupefied, his eyes fixed on the trophy on the table, and he said, "Sit, what are you doing standing there? Why do I have to invite you. "

Xu Rong sat silently.

Li Youbin poured him a glass of water. Seeing that Xu Rong was still staring at the trophy, he said impatiently: "Xiao Xu, what's so good about this thing? You don't know, it's just a piece of scrap metal, where can I put it?" It's an eyesore, but I've been thinking about it, but I don't have a place to put it, if it wasn't for the fear of people saying it, I would have thrown it away."

Xu Rong took a breath quietly, pulled his eyes back from the trophy, turned his head silently, looked at Li Youbin suspiciously, and asked, "Which street stall did you buy it from? It looks real, and it costs 30 yuan." Bar?"

Li Youbin sat down on the single sofa beside him as if he didn't hear what he said, sighed, and said with a distressed face: "You don't know, I was so angry when I went last time, just because of the popularity of the party The award was taken away by Zhang Guoli, you judge, our "Bright Sword" is not more popular than him? Do you think it is popular or annoying?"

Xu Rong had the urge to run away, but when Li Youbin saw him turn his head, he quickly leaned over, stretched out his hand and grabbed him, and said with a smile: "Mainly I've been bored for a while, seeing you. Forget it, forget it." , let’s not talk about these embarrassing things, come on, let’s arrange tomorrow’s play well, and try to get another one later.”

Xu Rong silently, I know you won the award, didn't you just not call to congratulate, is it worth it?

He was just on guard against this guy who would put him in front of him, but he came to his door without hesitation today.

But rehearsal is the most important thing, what Li Youbin said is right, he really needs to stabilize his state.

"wrong."

As soon as a play started to be rehearsed, Li Youbin reached out to stop him and said, "Hey, Xiao Xu, no, you need to use a prop."

Li Youbin turned his head and looked around the room, and finally turned his gaze back to the trophy on the table, and pushed towards Xu Rong: "Forget it, I don't have any bowls in this room, so you can use this as a prop. "

Xu Rong forced a smile and said, "Okay."

The two started to rehearse the scene again, and this time they said a few lines, Li Youbin stopped again, and said with a serious face: "Xiao Xu, I have to criticize you a few words, if you can't make a film, you will become an idiot, we As an actor, you are talking about a professional, whether it is real filming or rehearsal, you can’t be fooled, if you fool the audience, the audience will fool you.”

He paused, picked up the trophy, and said with a stern expression: "For example, this bowl, hey, you have to hold it up, look, this luster. Cough, this prop is for you to use, you have to take it Come on, although we are rehearsing, you have to treat it as a real shot."

Xu Rong nodded silently, well, you are Shidi, as long as you are happy.

When Li Youbin sent Xu Rong out of the room with a smile all over his face, Xu Rong finally heaved a sigh of relief. He had never seen such a shameless person.

For two full hours, I just changed my way of showing off.

"Xiao Xu, come tomorrow, you still have a lot of room for improvement in this state." Seeing that Xu Rong didn't turn his head, Li Youbin pulled the doorknob, with a face like a chrysanthemum blooming in September, and looked towards the corridor Xu Rong, who left quickly, shouted.
