twin stars

Feng Xiangjie

"Brother Jie is so good at kung fu, I really don't understand why the director didn't ask you to make a movie?" Huang Dong frowned, puzzled.

"You don't understand! The director must be looking for a suitable role for him. If an actor wants to impress the audience, he must have a unique temperament and personality. Ajie's appearance is very outstanding, and now it depends on how to create a screen image. "Xiao Yi spoke clearly and logically, as if he knew the director's intention.

He is cheering me on!I am very grateful, and I don't want to disappoint his intentions, so I secretly warned myself: keep calm and continue to hone yourself.

Then there was a commotion behind us, mingled with the clinking of wine bottles.Turning around, it was the martial artists who were hostile to us during the gathering/gambling yesterday.They seemed to hear us, so they were loud and noisy on purpose.Xiao Yi said that Ah Zhi refused to eat with us because he was afraid that other martial artists would see that we were in the same group and be exposed and beaten.

A Dong didn't know this, and continued: "The director appreciates Xiao Yi very much now, maybe Xiao Yi can also be the protagonist. In addition to Brother Jie, it would be great if the three of us could make a martial arts movie together." He smiled innocently And simple and honest.His wish is also my wish, as long as I can make a martial arts film with them, even if it is a supporting role or a secondary role, I will be very happy.

"Skinny monkey wants to be the protagonist? Do you think it's ridiculous?" A martial artist behind him shouted loudly.

"Heroes are all strong, tall and mighty. Skinny monkeys are so weak that they can fall down when blown. Could they be the weakest heroes in history?"

"He's called a hero? When he puts on his costume and comes to the studio, other people will probably ask: Little boy, did you go to the wrong set? Do you want to play monkeys for everyone to see? Hahaha!" several martial artists Take turns mocking, the attitude is very bad.

I was so angry that I couldn't help standing up, but Xiao Yi grabbed my hand, shook his head calmly, and motioned to ignore them.

A Dong hadn't figured out the situation yet, Xiao Yi began to change the subject: "A Jie, you said you were seriously injured when you were young? But now you can't see it at all!"

I saw that Xiao Yi didn't want to cause trouble, so I calmed down and said in a relaxed mood: "I was very skinny when I was a child. I ate poisonous things by mistake and was sent to the hospital for gastric lavage. I was scalded by boiling water and run over by a car. When riding a bicycle He fell off the car and broke his left arm into three parts. Later, he had the bone grafted and it took a long time to heal.”

"Ah!" Xiao Yi and A Dong were taken aback, their eyes were frightened, they probably didn't expect me to be so naughty when I was a child.

"Then you still help others carry heavy objects?" Xiao Yi complained while grabbing my arm and looking left and right.

"It's okay, this arm has been trained for a long time, and it's okay to bear weight." I smiled and comforted him.

"You still want to shoot a fight scene after breaking your hand?" It was the martial artist's taunting voice again.

"What should I do if I was beaten into three pieces with a 'snap' during filming?"

"So what? Disabled people can also make fight scenes, don't discriminate against disabled people!" Those people laughed loudly.

I was annoyed, but after thinking about it, I endured it.

At this time, Xiao Yi suddenly stood up casually, picked up a plate of dishes, and smiled at us.Neither Adong nor I knew what his intention was.

He turned around lazily, walked towards the martial artist with his shoulders swaying, and suddenly "slapped" a plate of food on top of the martial artist who was said to be disabled just now.All the people at the table startled, and then they heard a bang of ping-pong, and Xiao Yi fought with the martial artist whose head was buckled. The cups, bowls and wine bottles were broken all over the floor, and the food was even more colorful and messed up.

"Xiao Yi!" I realized it later, and rushed forward, together with other martial artists, to pull the two fighting people apart.

The martial artist had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and he couldn't straighten up holding his stomach.The martial artist next to him persuaded: "The company prohibits fighting, you can't fight here!"

I was busy checking Xiaoyi, but I didn't see any trauma, so I shouldn't have suffered anything.But he still seemed unwilling to give up: "Why, you guys are only quick-talking, but in fact you are all soft persimmons? Why don't you go together? I, Lei Yi, will accompany you to the end!"

Those martial artists were enraged, and they lined up in a row, and A Dong and I also guarded Xiao Yi's side, one on the left and one on the right, the two sides were like two armies facing each other, ready to go.

"Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing?" The administrator of the cafeteria rushed over after hearing the news, pointed at us, and reprimanded us loudly: "Who is your supervisor? You must report to the company for brawling openly and destroying company property. Severe punishment!"

A group fight was stopped in time, but Xiao Yi was called to the conference room to accept punishment as the instigator.I am anxious!

Lei Yi

A row of people sat behind the long mahogany table in the conference room, including Director Zhang and several high-level officials from the Propaganda Department, the Personnel Department, and the Logistics Department.I stood alone on the other side, like a newcomer being interviewed by an examiner.

They were discussing what to do with me.Some people asked me to write a self-criticism and promise not to commit another crime in the future.Someone said to hold a staff meeting to publicly criticize me.Some people said that they would hide me in the snow for several months, as a warning to others.Zhang Dao has not expressed his position.Director Xiao Renxiao from the Propaganda Department helped him with his gold-rimmed glasses, and said gently, "I heard that Director Zhang plans to cast him as the leading actor in his next film, but he is stubborn and unruly, which greatly affects the company's image. He hid it in the snow and let him reflect on himself."

"Director Xiao wants me to use the candidate you recommended?" Zhang Dao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, his tone was not heavy, but his weight was like a thousand pieces of gold.The atmosphere in the meeting room immediately became tense, as if there was an undercurrent surging.

"W-how could it be?" Director Xiao wiped the sweat off his brow in embarrassment.

"Lei Yi is only a first-time offender this time, and there are no serious consequences. Just let him write a self-criticism. Young people, give him a chance." Director Zhang lifted the weight lightly, as if a bigwig was giving the cadres of various halls Analyze the situation and deploy work.

Director Xiao gave the manager of the HR department a look, and the manager of the HR department stammered, "W-Is this too light?

"Do you want me to talk to President Zhao in person?" Zhang Dao's words suddenly became sharp and full of shocking power.President Zhao, the big boss of the Zhao Group, has always attached great importance to Zhang Dao, and no one wants to alarm the boss unwittingly.In the end, the meeting passed Zhang Dao's handling opinions, and I was asked to write a review.

I didn't intend to bow my head and admit my mistakes at the beginning, and I didn't even want to write a self-criticism.They can deal with it as they like, and at worst they will stop filming.But Ma Wu, the assistant director who has been taking good care of me, told me: If I don't admit my mistake, it will make things difficult for Director Zhang.

For the sake of Zhang Dao, I must admit this mistake!

However, I didn't expect to see the invisible confrontation of several forces in the conference room.I'm just a young actor, so I wouldn't disturb so many high-level executives to participate in the meeting. In fact, their original intention was to put pressure on Director Zhang.Or because Zhang Dao's reputation is too high, they want to restrict his power/power and limit his decisions, or they want to win Zhang Dao to their side in the high-level power/power struggle.At that time, the company formed a "big director system". Directors like Zhang Dao, who can obtain huge box office revenue for the company, play a decisive role in actor selection, film shooting, etc. Therefore, even though he has no intention of fighting for power/power, he is only obsessed with making movies. , but inevitably caught in the center of the power/struggle/strife vortex.This small episode is also a harbinger of major changes in the company's power and personnel in the future, and even the formation of a new pattern in the entire film industry.

I also hate fighting, and I have no intention of fighting for benefits. Fortunately, Director Zhang sheltered me, so that I escaped the shadow of swords and swords.Zhang Dao said that many people tried their best to recommend themselves to him, but I was the only one who didn't care, and he appreciated me for that.He believes in his own vision and likes to observe and discover by himself.Since he thinks I have potential, I have to perform well and not let him doubt my vision, right?

Ajie was more worried about this accident than I was.

"What's the result?" he asked worriedly.

"It's just writing a self-criticism. There were people who wanted to hide me."

"Ah!" His face instantly turned pale.Alas, it's better not to scare him, he cares about everything and tends to overthink.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal at all! You know the fight between Huang Yu and another celebrity, Yue Hua, in the cafeteria not long ago over a parking space? I pretended not to see it, and didn't pursue it afterwards. It's not because the two people who fought were big stars, the company condoned it. So, Ajie, let's work hard to get ahead, and when we become big stars, we'll see who will fight. Dare to let us fight!"

"You want to be a big star just so you can fight casually?" Ajie couldn't laugh or cry: "Big stars should pay more attention to their image, and never fight again in the future. I don't want you to be punished for fighting, and I don't want you to fight because of me." fight……"

I knew he was going to put the blame on me, so I quickly put my arms around his shoulders and said: "Ajie, according to the gossip, Huang Yu and Yue Hua's competition for the parking space is just an appearance, the truth is that they are jealous of the female star Zheng Beier!"

Zheng Beier is a famous movie star who is famous for her role as a heroine. Both Huang Yu and Yue Hua have collaborated with her in several movies.

"Ah? No way? Huang Yu has a girlfriend already?"

I spread my hands and said, "Who can tell clearly about feelings? Anyway, everyone likes to listen to gossip, the more bizarre the better."

After this incident, I didn’t expect Zhang Daoli to overcome all opinions and really persuade the big boss to tailor a martial arts movie for me called "Ranger".Different from the mighty and imposing knights in previous martial arts films, the protagonist of this movie is a type of clever and lively, playful, and free to come and go.It is said that the director saw that my body was light and I could flip forward and sideways while jumping on the trampoline, which was very suitable for playing a young hero with superb lightness skills. inspiration.Alas, I don't know how I got that impression on him.

"Am I usually not serious?" I asked Ajie.But he just patted me on the shoulder, as happy as if he had become the protagonist himself: "Well done! I'm so happy for you!"

"Will you go to see me filming?"

"of course!"

With his words, I am relieved.

"Ranger" officially started filming.After I put on my makeup, I looked for Ajie at the entrance of the studio.In fact, Ajie didn't have a movie to shoot, and I was also very anxious. I have never stopped working with Adong, but he was left alone. The director won't really forget him, right?Let Ajie come to the studio to visit the set, but also want him to show his face in front of the director more, so that the director will remember him.But this guy is thin-skinned, and he hides away when he sees Zhang Dao. It's really wasting my painstaking efforts.
