I'm just an actor

Chapter 68 Hype
When Xu Rong took Jin Fangfang to the hotel where the crew was located and met Zhao Baogang, he found that the situation was a little different from what he had imagined when he came.

He originally thought that even if Zhao Baogang's face was not ashen, at least he would not look good.

But when he entered Zhao Baogang's room, he saw the friendly expression on his face, as if Dong Xuan's resignation never happened.

On the table behind him, there are many manuscript papers piled up scatteredly.

Don't think about it, I will definitely work overtime to change the script, and it will have to be changed a lot.

"Xiao Xu is here, sit down." Zhao Baogang welcomed Xu Rong into the door, and said with a smile on his face, "Is the journey going well?"

Something is wrong.

Xu Rong had met Zhao Baogang a few times before. In his impression, Zhao Baogang was a very elegant middle-aged man. Even when he smiled, it was a little hidden, but at this time, his enthusiasm was obviously too much.

"It's going well." Xu Rong also responded with a smile, but in his heart he wondered if Zhao Baogang had something to discuss with him?

After a few polite words, Zhao Baogang suddenly let out a long sigh, and said, "Have you heard everything?"

Seeing Xu Rong nodding his head, Zhao Baogang smiled wryly again, and said, "This incident is indeed a bit sudden. I've been very worried for the past few days. You know how much effort I have put into shaping the role of Liu Xufei well. How many nights have I stayed up, since I got the news, I can't sleep all night long."

"Originally, I wanted to look for other popular actresses, but I contacted a few, but they didn't have any schedules. I'm worried." Zhao Baogang talked about his difficulties and difficulties one by one, "But I really don't Don't worry Xiao Xu, she doesn't have much experience, I'm really afraid that she won't be able to bear it, otherwise, the show will be ruined."

"By the way, it's Xu Huanhuan. I decided to let her play Liu Xufei."

Zhao Baogang explained something with a sad face, looked at Xu Rong who still only nodded without expressing his opinion, and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Xu Rong is no longer the ignorant young man who just finished school, and he would not really think that Zhao Baogang came to him to find a solution, otherwise he would not have chosen Liu Xufei as the candidate.

Therefore, he gave Zhao Baogang a step down: "Brother Zhao, what do you think?"

Zhao Baogang thought about it for about three seconds, then said slowly: "That's right, I plan to overhaul the script, delete some roles of Wang Yimin and Liu Xufei, and increase the proportion of the two roles of Lu Qiuying and Yuzhi Ichiro."

"Of course, you must still be the male number one, but the role relationship has been adjusted to a certain extent." Zhao Baogang added.

Seeing that Xu Rong didn't show an unhappy expression, Zhao Baogang finally let go of his hanging heart. The matter of Dong Xuan's resignation was really frightening for him.

He was really afraid that Xu Rong would follow suit.

He couldn't treat the young man sitting across from him as a full-fledged school student. The popularity of "Yangcheng" made Xu Rong one of the first-line ranks. Going a step further, but cementing the previous slightly vain popularity.

If he made a fuss, the impact would be no less than Dong Xuan's resignation.

"I can understand." Xu Rong also knew that what Zhao Baogang said had some truth, and he couldn't refuse with such a low profile.

Seeing that he agreed, Zhao Baogang immediately took out a stack of notebooks from the table next to him, and said, "This is the outline and a part of the script. You should familiarize yourself with it first."

Xu Rong took it, not surprised, it will start up tomorrow, maybe some details still need to be finalized, but if Zhao Baogang didn't even finalize the outline, he absolutely doesn't believe it.

He didn't look directly at it either, for the movie that was about to start filming, he had already understood his own position a month ago, setting off Li Xiaoran and Dong Xuan.

Now that Dong Xuan is resigning, it is foreseeable that the plot will be inclined to Lu Qiuying.

This is probably the reason for the [-] extra salary per episode.

"This is too irritating. Those who don't know think you are the second male lead!" After Jin Fangfang flipped through the new outline and a part of the script, her two dark eyes stared round, "Is this guy named Zhao out of his mind?" What's wrong, why did you arrange so many scenes for Yuji Ichiro?"

Xu Rong sat on the sofa, looked at Jin Fangfang who was a little furious, and just smiled.

He has just read the script, and he doesn't think there is anything to be angry about. In his opinion, the spiritual core that Zhao Baogang wants to express is "the beauty of human nature", praising the kindness of human nature, and finally set the foothold on the war itself. On the wrong tone.

The contrast between Yuji Ichiro's identity and behavior is the key to expressing this spiritual core.

If it wasn't for the fear that the audience wouldn't buy it, he even guessed that Zhao Baogang might write Yuji Ichiro as the male lead.

In the original, Wang Yimin and Dong Xuan's Liu Xufei were the main line, and Yuzhi Ichiro and Lu Qiuying were the sub-lines. In order to retaliate against the war, after Yuzhi Ichiro died, Wang Yimin and Lu Qiuying, who were not in love in the end, came together.

It seems to be complete, but there are a lot of regrets, which makes the audience deeply feel the cruelty of war.

But now, there is only one sub-line left, Liu Xufei has been completely reduced to a role in promoting the plot, Wang Yimin's role has also been deleted a lot, and the role positioning has completely become a party member who is dedicated to the country and the people, emotional drama In fact, neither Guan Jingxian nor Lu Qiuying later had any deep affection between men and women, but only sympathy and pity.

A character with a less down-to-earth image.

But the popularity of "New Shanghai Bund" made him realize a truth, that is not to have a lot of roles to be outstanding. Li Xuejian's roles are not too many, but it has become the biggest highlight of the whole drama.

It is unreasonable.

But on the other hand, for an actor, the most fun is the human protection scene, otherwise it will always protect the human being, even if it succeeds, there is not much sense of accomplishment.

After reading the new positioning of Wang Yimin in the script, Xu Rong thought of a character, Guo Jing portrayed by Wang Luoyong in last year's hit "The Legend of Condor Heroes".

The great man is the country and the people.

But he was scolded to pieces.

Fortunately, although "Harbin Under the Night" is also a remake, Wang Yimin is not as well-known as Guo Jing.

In his opinion, the middle-aged Guo Jing in "Sculpture of the Gods", even if he recruits all the middle-aged actors in China, it is impossible to find one that will satisfy all the audience.

Simple and honest, broad-minded, serving the country and the people, but also have the experience that a middle-aged person should have, which is purely embarrassing.

Wang Luoyong was not familiar with the situation, and was bullied by Zhang Jizhong. For such a role, no one could escape being scolded for playing such a role.

But what is frustrating is that senior brother Huang Xiaoming gave the bottom line again.

For Wang Yimin, he had a general idea in his mind, and he had to discuss it with Zhao Baogang. He couldn't let Wang Yimin fly into the sky, he had to be dragged down, just like Wang Luoyong lifted "Guo Jing" from the sky through his father's love. ripped off.

Before the opening ceremony, Xu Rong finally met Li Xiaoran, one of the main participants in the "First Sister" contest.

She is dressed in red light down, with an oval face, big eyes, and the lines of her face are quite soft.

Her most notable feature is her whiteness, which is whiter than most actresses Xu Rong has seen in the past.

"Hello Mr. Li."

Li Xiaoran seemed to be in a good mood today, but when she saw Xu Rong, she paused for a moment before shouting: "Mr. Xu is good."

Xu Rong is much younger than her, but he is much more famous than her, and he is even more popular now, so it is not easy for her to call him by his first name when they meet for the first time.

Xu Rongguo saw her struggle, and said with a smile, "Ms. Li just call me Xiao Xu."

He didn't intend to deal with Li Xiaoran much, and if he could overthrow Dong Xuan who was in the limelight, he might not be a good person.

Although the media was not invited to the opening ceremony, there were still many reporters outside the studio uninvited.

Xu Rong's own existence, coupled with Jin Fangfang's manuscript two days ago, will inevitably attract some media when the new play starts.

And Dong Xuan's resignation was even more explosive.

Zhao Baogang couldn't ignore the group of reporters. After the ceremony, he took Li Xiaoran and Xu Rong to the reporters.

In the process of walking towards the sidelines, Zhao Baogang suddenly stopped and said in a low voice: "Xiao Xu, I need you to do something."

"What's wrong?" Xu Rong looked at him in surprise.

Zhao Baogang laughed at himself, knowing that Xu Rong understood the reason, he didn't explain much, and said: "Later, try to attract the attention of the media, if possible, it's best to bring up the whole topic, try to avoid mentioning she."

She naturally refers to Dong Xuan.

Xu Rong just pondered for a moment, and then understood the reason.

The slap was already loud enough, and Zhao Baogang didn't want people to hear the echo.

He smiled and replied, "No problem."

At the same time, he also noticed that Jin Fangfang not far away made an "OK" gesture to him.

"Xu Rong, there are rumors on the Internet that you and your girlfriend Zhang Xiaofei have a relationship problem. Is it because of Yang Mi?" Maybe he is in the limelight now. When he came up, a female reporter went straight to him without mentioning the new play. private life.

Xu Rong glanced at him and said bluntly, "What does it have to do with you?"

Zhao Baogang and Li Xiaoran on the side heard Xu Rong's words, they were stunned for a while, and then they all turned their heads to look at Xu Rong, to attract your attention, but they didn't say such a trick, it was to offend people to death what.

The reporters were also stunned. Is this rising star who has become popular recently so inflated so much?

"Xu Rong, Yang Mi said that she and you are just ordinary classmates, is it true?"

"it is true."

"Xu Rong, it is rumored that you once pursued Chen Shu, did you fail?"

"I refuse to answer."

Zhao Baogang stared at him in a daze, did Xu Rong take some gunpowder today, or did he get so angry?
Wasn't it fine just now?

And he just wanted him to help divert his attention, but you are too fierce, aren't you afraid that tomorrow's media will point at your nose and scold you?

The media is also a bit confused by Xu Rong, but who makes people popular, even if they are tired of crooked, they can only pinch their noses to recognize it.

"Xu Rong, why did you choose to join "Harbin Under the Night"? Is it because Dong Xuan was the female lead?" A reporter wearing metal-rimmed glasses and looking at the gentleman asked suddenly.

This question is ill-intentioned.

Zhao Baogang, who was standing next to him, froze for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly recovered the kindness of the spring breeze.

"Is there even a need to ask?" Xu Rong looked at the questioning reporter for a while with eyes like a fool, and then said, "Of course it's for money. If you have money, who will come to filming?"

The reporter who asked the question twitched his lips a few times. He really didn't expect Xu Rong to answer like this, but listening, it seemed to be quite reasonable.

Then let's not ask you, okay?
"Director Zhao, it has been rumored that Dong Xuan has joined the crew, why didn't I see her today?"

With a warm expression on Zhao Baogang's clear-cut face, he said with a smile, "You also said it was a rumor. It's a rumor, so it can't be true."

"Director Zhao, when you were interviewed earlier, you said that Dong Xuan would play the female lead?"

"Hehe." Zhao Baogang was probably ready to face such problems, and said with a smile, "It's a bit embarrassing to say it, but it's just hype."
