Custom Made Demon King

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

Wrapped in a thick down jacket, Xu Rong rejoined the film crew once again. Li Youbin trotted over when he saw him, and took his hand to greet him.

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

Li Youbin looked at him carefully, and said: "Hey, I see why you are still thin, why did you not rest well during this period?"

His kindness was as if he had found his long-lost son.

Not right.

Xu Rong was keenly aware that something was wrong.

Li Youbin is really too enthusiastic today. This is his seventh transition. Every time he meets Li Youbin in the previous transition, he has never seen him so concerned. Usually, he says, "Come on?"

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

The crew's wine is enough, Li Youbin doesn't need to treat himself any more, right?

"Why are you hiding so far?" Li Youbin saw Xu Rong's vigilant eyes mixed with alertness, and his expression was like a Sichuan opera. He said earnestly and earnestly: "Don't I feel sorry for you, father, three sons, you are the hardest working person, running around all day long."

"You can pull it down." Xu Rong listened to his lame reasons, and couldn't believe it at all. Li Youbin's acting style was very different from Chen Baoguo's. Emotions come next.

"Hey, let me give you the bottom line." Li Youbin paused for a while, then his face suddenly turned down, he sighed, pulled Xu Rong aside, and said in a low voice, "When I took on this scene, the contract was actually There is a gambling agreement attached, if the ratings are not in the top ten of the year, I will work for free, and I will not lose a penny."

Xu Rong stared blankly at Li Youbin, dubious in her heart. The key is, will Li Youbin really sign such a gambling agreement?

Is that necessary?

No matter how you think about it, it's a sure-fire deal.

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

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

"His" Xu Rong thought for a while, and when a specific concept emerged in his mind, he couldn't help but gasp, this temptation was a bit surprising.

Li Youbin's current salary is already middle-to-upper in the first-line, so what is the concept of multiplying it by 2.5 times?

300,000 episodes, "Crossing the Guandong" has 52 episodes. As the actual male lead, he basically has more than five scenes in each episode.

And Li Youbin didn't sign a brokerage company, so don't worry about the company's commission. If he wins the bet, even if he pays the tax, he can get tens of millions.

Thinking about myself again, I was happy for a long time when I received a salary of 90,000 yuan last time. It was also filming, and people paid him three months a day.

Seeing Xu Rongjing's jaw dropping, Li Youbin hurriedly said, "What I want to tell you isn't about more money and less money, to be honest, it's a lot of pressure. I've been thinking about whether it can be done or not, and it's all about our grandfather. Woolen cloth."

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

Xu Rong didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. In terms of business ability, Ding Jiali, Gao Ming and others were excluded. Among the main creators, Li Youbin could completely suppress him.

But no matter how he thought about it, he still felt that Li Youbin was reckless, so he said, "No, but doing it like that is too risky. If you don't achieve it in the end, then you've been busy this year for nothing?"

Xu Rong knew about Li Youbin's situation. He was very tight recently. If he was busy for another year, it would really make things worse.

"Who said it wasn't?" Li Youbin lit a cigarette and said with a sad face: "But you also know that I... I was really short of money at the time. When people said it, my brain became hot, and I signed it. Tens of thousands, how dare you think about it before, it's like a dream."

Xu Rong looked at Li Youbin's regretful expression, and believed most of his heart. He knew that Li Youbin was indeed short of money at the beginning of the year, and it would probably cost a lot to quell negative public opinion. He couldn't help but ask, "Then what are you going to do?"

Li Youbin took a cigarette, looked him up and down again, and said, "I see that you've turned around and your state is almost gone, and you don't have an assistant to help, so let's go to my room at night, I'll give you a word, you first look for the status, you can't get out of the basket."

Xu Rong also understood that what Li Youbin said was indeed correct. He was running at both ends of the two groups, and the two groups were constantly changing. He was really tired from the tossing, and his condition was greatly affected by the hot and cold weather. After hesitating for a while, he responded and said, "That's it, after work at night, I'll go find you."

Xu Rong wasn't too worried about Li Youbin's gambling agreement. A "Bright Sword" was enough for Li Youbin to eat for a few more years. Coupled with the current hit of "Stepfather", even if it couldn't be opened this year, it would still be profitable next year. to the money.

And as "Stepfather" was halfway through, it proved his prediction once again. Li Youbin is really a cancer. If he couldn't hold him down, he was crushed to death by him.

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

After the two agreed, they went their separate ways. After work in the evening, Xu Rong first went back to the hotel to remove his makeup and seized the hard-won opportunity to shoot in the city. First, he took a hot bath and then turned around Then switch to the location, and the difficulty of taking a shower is exponentially higher.

After cleaning up, he went out and walked to the door where Li Youbin put the room. It seemed that Li Youbin had been waiting for him for a long time. He only knocked and the door opened, revealing a bitter face.

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

"After taking a bath, this episode is exhausting. You were in Xuexiang a while ago. You don't know, it's hard 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 side of the table outside the suite, and in the center of the table was a golden trophy.

On the red base of the trophy, there is a metal figure of a golden woman holding her hands high, and 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, had the least amount of technical gold, but it was the most lucrative one.

Seeing the trophy, Xu Rong completely understood that Li Youbin signed a gambling agreement and wanted to play with himself, and it was 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 entering the room, Li Youbin looked like he was stunned. He stared at the trophy on the table without saying a word, and said, "Sit down, what are you doing standing stupidly? Why should I invite you? "

Xu Rong sat silently.

Li Youbin poured him a glass of water, and seeing Xu Rong 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 junk, where can I put it? It's an eyesore, but I've been thinking about it, and I have nowhere to put it, if it wasn't for fear of people saying it, I would have thrown it away a long time ago."

Xu Rong quietly took a breath, pulled his eyes away from the trophy, turned his head silently, looked at Li Youbin in confusion, and asked, "Which stall did you buy it from? It looks like it's real, it costs twenty or thirty yuan. money?"

Li Youbin didn't seem to hear what he said. He sat on the single sofa beside him, sighed deeply, and said sadly: "You don't know, last time I went to but I was so mad, so I was so popular at the party. The award was actually taken away by Zhang Guoli, you judge, isn't our "Bright Sword" more popular than him? Are you saying it's popularity or anger?"

Xu Rong had the urge to leave, but when Li Youbin saw him turn his head, he quickly leaned over, stretched out his hand and grabbed him, smiled and said, "I've been bored for a while now, seeing you... forget it. Forget it, don't talk about these bad things, come, let's arrange tomorrow's drama well, and try to get another one later."

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

He was just on guard against this guy putting his clothes in front of him, and he came to the door today.

However, the rehearsal is more important. Li Youbin was right, he really had to stabilize his state.

"wrong."

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

Li Youbin turned his head to look 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 a bowl in this house, so you can use this as a prop. "

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

The two began to rehearse the scene again, and this time they said two lines, Li Youbin called to stop again, and said with a serious face: "Xiao Xu, I have to criticize you two words, if you can't pat and pat, you will become an old oil, let's Actor, what you are talking about is a dedicated person, no matter whether it is the actual filming or the rehearsal, you can't fool you, if you fool the audience, the audience will fool you too."

He paused, picked up the trophy, and said with a stern expression: "For example, this bowl, hey, you have to carry it up, look, this glossy...cough, this prop is just for you to use, you You have to pick it up, although we are rehearsing, but you have to treat it according to the actual shooting."

Xu Rong nodded silently, "Yeah, you're a visionary emperor, you just need to be happy."

When Li Youbin sent Xu Rong out of the room with a smile on his face, Xu Rong finally let out a breath, he had never seen such a shameless person before.

For two full hours, it became dazzling.

"Xiao Xu, come back tomorrow, there is still a lot of room for improvement in your state." Seeing Xu Rong, Li Youbin pulled the door handle without turning his head, looking like a chrysanthemum blooming in September, facing the corridor Xu Rong, who walked away quickly, shouted.
