Superstar Aspirations

When Rong Xu came out of the dressing room, several nearby staff members clearly let out a gasp of exclamation.

No matter men or women, in the eyes of anyone, a handsome young man in white with an elegant demeanor is very desirable, and they can't help but focus their attention on him.Not to mention, this young man has a relatively friendly aura, not cold and arrogant like many big stars, and he immediately gained the favor of many people.

In general, man is still a visual animal.

Luo Zhentao deeply felt that if he had known Rong Xu in front of him at the beginning, he might not be able to help seeing him as a friend, instead of just a pure interest relationship like before, and he didn't keep the other party in the dark at all.

Now that the makeup and costumes have been changed, for Rong Xu, it's time for an audition.

"Chasing the Deer" is a big project invested by China Entertainment this year. The director is Guo Long, the top director in the domestic TV drama circle. The heroine is Tang Menglan, the elixir of ratings.The crew invested close to 1 million yuan, and more than [-] million yuan was spent on costumes and props alone, which can be said to be exquisite and meticulous.

"Chasing the Deer" tells the story of a group of heroes fighting for the world in troubled times.

In this world, the three kingdoms of Liang, Wei and Chu stand side by side, occupying all the right time, place and people.The main line of the story takes place in the state of Chu. The hero Xie Jingxian is the prince of the state of Chu. However, since the great war between the state of Chu and the state of Liang nine years ago, the state of Chu was defeated. .

The prince was young and had the ambition to dominate the world, so Chu State began a long war of resistance and conquest.

Different from other power plots in troubled times, the heroine Xiao Xiang played by Tang Menglan is not the love factor of traditional TV dramas. She is not only responsible for the love part of the film, but also the main component of the plot line——

Xiao Xiang is a well-known female general in Chu State!

The Xiao family has been loyal for generations. In the war nine years ago, the four brothers of the Xiao family and General Xiao all died on the battlefield. Xiao Xiang, who was only 13 years old, carried the banner of the Xiao family and led the Xiao family army.From then on, there is no Miss Xiao family in the world, only General Xiao.

So the plot line and the love line came as a matter of course, Xie Jingxian and Xiao Xiang slowly fell in love with each other, but neither of them showed it.For them, Chu State is more important now.

The status of Chu State is in jeopardy. Only by seeking hegemony can it avoid the possibility of being annexed by the other two great powers.

Wan Qiyao, played by Rong Xu, appeared under such circumstances.

There are rumors in the world that the one who wins Wanqi wins the world. Mr. Wanqi lived in Yunmengze for a long time and set up three chess games.Those who solve the chess game can enter the pavilion to have a look, but no one in the world has ever solved the second chess game, let alone the legendary third chess game.

Chu State's national strength is declining, but it has fertile land and wealth accumulated over the past century.Liang Guo cares more about it than those small countries, no matter how resourceful Xie Jingxian is and no matter how brave Xiao Xiang is, with the strength of the two of them, they can't change Chu's backwardness in a short period of time.

So on this day, a small boat sailed onto Yunmengze and stopped in front of Wangqiu Pavilion.

The heroic female general led more than 20 Chu players to the Wangqiu Pavilion.

It happened that Tang Menglan was also there today, so the audition scene was set to be the first meeting between Wan Tuyao and Xiao Xiang.

Here director Guo Long was checking the final character image with the assistant director. When he heard a gasp, Director Guo turned his head and suddenly saw the boy in white.Director Guo's eyes lit up, and he nodded with satisfaction. After Rong Xu walked in front of him, he looked up and down several times, and then waved to Tang Menglan: "Menglan, is it okay to play against each other?"

Tang Menglan smiled and nodded: "No problem."

After all, she was preparing to take a makeup photo, so Tang Menglan also changed into a strong outfit and put on makeup.

Rong Xu found Luo Zhentao at this time, he smiled and nodded at Luo Zhentao, a meaningful color flashed in his eyes, he quickly restrained himself, and Luo Zhentao didn't notice.

But Luo Zhentao was in a trance right now, so he didn't notice Rong Xu.

Rong Xu's image was even more suitable than Zhong Yi's, which was approved by Director Guo.If he is Rong Xu's manager, he has already thought of several ways to promote this young man, at least within half a year he can be promoted to the second tier!

"Don't worry, I'm all in costumes and makeup, and with Tang Menglan here, that Rong Xu will definitely be able to perform well." At some point, Deputy Director Wang came over and said casually: "This audition is really good. It's too simple, it seems Director Guo is really satisfied with Rongxu's appearance."

Hearing these words, Luo Zhentao's original thoughts suddenly stopped.

Luo Zhentao smiled wryly, "I hope..."

Let Rong Xu become a star?The premise is that he can act!

Maybe 5 minutes later, Director Guo will be furious and tell Rong Xu to leave.

Luo Zhentao was thinking, over there, the audition has already started.

It's a bit strange to start auditioning when I'm about to take makeup photos.Many people in the crew gathered, even the second male lead came over and watched from the sidelines.Director Guo sat casually on the director's chair, but his eyes were concentrated, staring closely at Tang Menglan and Rong Xu in the center of the set.

As if coming with a gust of cold wind, the stern and strong female general walked quickly to the low table with big strides.When she sat down cross-legged, she didn't even bend her back, and a cold and serious aura instantly swept across the audience.

Tang Menglan calmly said, "Sir, I have solved the second chess game, I don't know where the third game is now."

Just a straight back made everyone present feel the majesty of a young girl general.Tang Menglan is worthy of being Tang Menglan, and being able to become a panacea for ratings is definitely not for nothing.

Guo Long smiled with satisfaction.

On the side, Luo Zhentao also breathed a sigh of relief: Tang Menglan's acting skills are very good, and she definitely belongs to the upper class in the TV series Huadan.He must be playing against such a person, maybe...Rong Xu can also perform a little better?

Thinking of this, Luo Zhentao turned to look at Rong Xu.The moment he saw the other party, his eyes froze, and Luo Zhentao couldn't help but stare at the beautiful jade sculptured hand, only to see Rong Xu gently pouring tea.

He poured the tea very steadily, and the clear and green tea flowed out of Cuiyu's mouth, drawing a graceful arc in the air.He didn't seem to hear what the other person said. He was dressed in white and secluded from the world. His handsome face made people dare not give any offense. He could only see this elegant and calm young man pouring tea with a smile.

A faint aura diffused from Rong Xu's body, shaking the set.

This is not the coldness and seriousness that belongs to the female general, but a kind of calmness that is far away from the world and sees the world of mortals clearly.

It seemed that the moment everyone looked at Rong Xu, what they saw was not a young boy, but a hermit who concealed his depth and elegance.It is no exaggeration to describe it as perfect!

Director Guo was startled for a moment, then opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Tang Menglan never thought that she would be intimidated by the other party's aura, but she was Tang Menglan after all, and she came back to her senses after only a moment.With calm and beautiful eyebrows, Tang Menglan put her sword on the tea table and made a moderate sound.

"Sir, dare to ask the third chess game."

At this time, Rong Xu had finished making tea.He gently pushed the white porcelain teacup in front of Tang Menglan with his palm, and just when Tang Menglan was about to ask the third time, he raised his eyes to look at the female general.

In an instant, those dark and deep eyes attracted everyone's attention.

Different from the youthful appearance, these eyes were full of vicissitudes, which made Luo Zhentao startled.Mingming Rongxu is just a child who is underage, how could he have such deep eyes.Could it be... Could it be that his acting skills are so good? !

Is he really God's reward for eating? !

"20 people break chess together, does the general feel that something is wrong?" Qinglie's voice flowed like a trickling stream.

After Tang Menglan was surprised for the first time, she was already on guard and would not lose her composure again.She smiled coldly, and asked back: "Have you ever said, sir, that you must break the chess alone?"

Rong Xu smiled: "No."

Tang Menglan took it for granted: "Then naturally, I can invite many chess players from Chu State to join the battle." As soon as the words fell, Tang Menglan clapped her hands and said, "Invite my chess players from Chu State to enter!"

Now, she is going to call in the twenty cheating chess players in front of Mr. Wan Teng, continue to cheat for her, and break the third chess game.

In the script, General Xiao Xiang is such a domineering and solemn person.As a girl, she led one hundred thousand Xiao family troops. If she did not do this, she would not be able to shock the world and win the support of the soldiers.She is Xiao Xiang, and she is General Xiao, the last bit of blood of the loyal minister Xiao's family.

In the script, after Xiao Xiang clapped his hands, twenty chess players should enter Wangqiu Pavilion.

Tang Menglan's back was facing these chess players, her back was still straight, but Rong Xu in front of her seemed to have seen something interesting.His eyes swept across the air, as if he really saw the twenty chess players. When he looked at Tang Menglan again, he shook his head lightly and said, "The general thinks that these twenty players can be defeated. My third game?"

Tang Menglan stretched out her hand: "But please give it a try!"

Rong Xu didn't move, looked at her with indifferent and calm eyes for a long time, and said: "The world is divided into three parts, which one is divided."

Tang Menglan was slightly stunned, and then said: "If the combination breaks, it will be divided."

Rong Xu said indifferently: "Those who divide must unite, and those who unite must divide. It's just a vain scene."

Tang Menglan hesitated for a moment, and said: "The sea is changing, the world is changing, there is a Wangqiu Pavilion on Yunmengze, and there will be no Wangqiu Pavilion after a thousand years. But the Wangqiu Pavilion must exist, and it will also leave a strong mark in the history books. The Qiu Pavilion doesn’t collapse directly, anyway, it won’t exist after a thousand years.”

Rong Xu stopped.

Suddenly, he raised his right hand, picked up a sunspot, and gently placed it on the chessboard in front of him.

pat-

The chess piece landed on the plate, and it was actually placed in the Tianyuan position!

Tang Menglan looked at Rong Xu in a daze, only to see the white-clothed hermit smiled slightly, and said: "The one who solves my two chess games can stick to seven and a half in the third game. The third game is to play with me, and the chess game is here , the general can hold the son now."

Tian Yuan opened his hand, and then stuck seven and a half eyes!

It is already a state of admitting defeat!

So far, the twenty chess players and Wan Tuyao have been together for a day and a night, and finally defeated this worldly genius.Xiao Xiang left Wangqiu Pavilion first, and Wan Qiyao stayed here for another three days before getting up and leaving.In the sparkling river, Wangqiu Pavilion was left behind by him. With nothing but a little boy with him, he stepped into the chaotic chess game where the heroes contend.

It was like this in the script, but it was naturally impossible for Rong Xu to act in those details.However, when he dropped the chess piece, everyone who had read the script seemed to have seen that scene.Perhaps only such a peerless elegance can interpret the cold attitude of a hermit like Wan Qiyao.

The audition was over, and there was no sound on the set.After waiting for a few seconds, someone began to discuss in a low voice with emotion.

Director Guo couldn't help laughing at first, but then he suddenly sighed heavily.

Rong Xu and Tang Menglan were still sitting at the low table, and when they heard the director's sigh, they turned to look at him together.Director Guo had a look of resentment on his face, and he said seriously: "When the show starts, Rong Xu, Meng Lan, you have to maintain this state, and you can't make mistakes, you know!"

It turned out that they were worried that the two of them would not be as good as the audition when they were performing officially!

Tang Menglan smiled slightly and said, "Director Guo, you can rest assured."

Director Guo looked at Rong Xu again: "What about you, Rong Xu?"

Rong Xu raised the corners of his lips and asked back: "Director Guo, have I passed the audition?"

Director Guo raised his eyebrows: "You're still asking me, have you ever said that?" Before Rong Xu could respond, he laughed out loud.

Luo Zhentao had been with Director Guo's crew twice before, and it was rare to see Director Guo laugh like this.Guo Long has always been serious, unsmiling, and has a record of scolding actors and crying on the set.Now he can be so happy... It seems that he is very satisfied with the audition just now!

Luo Zhentao's heart trembled, and a strange thought suddenly came to him: Rong Xu, maybe he can really be a good actor?

Next, no one gave Luo Zhentao time to think, and several actors present began to take makeup photos.

As long as Rong Xu stands in front of the camera, he can shock the audience, whether it is a single photo, a two-person photo with Tang Menglan, or a two-person photo with the male number two—Wan Chengyao's senior brother in the plot—he can always take pictures. It's that elegant and unique Mr. Wan Teng, who can be called a unparalleled son.

Luo Zhentao followed quietly, taking all the scenes into his eyes.

In the evening, after all the makeup photos were taken, Rong Xu also officially signed the contract. After ten days, he would be able to join the crew and shoot his own scenes.Seven days later was the opening ceremony. Rong Xu didn't have many roles and was not well-known, so it didn't matter if he came or not. The director left it to him to choose.

That night, Rong Xu said goodbye to the crew one by one. Several makeup artists who helped him put on makeup also smiled and said see you in ten days. Rong Xu replied with a smile.As soon as he walked out of the gate of the studio, he saw Luo Zhentao who had been waiting for an unknown amount of time.

Rong Xu calmly said, "Brother Luo."

When Luo Zhentao heard the voice, he immediately came back to his senses, and said, "Hey! Rong Xu, you...are you here too?"

Rong Xu didn't expose his lie.

The two walked out of the film and television city together, while walking, Luo Zhentao looked for some topics: "The show "Chasing the Deer" is still very good, it is a big production blockbuster in this winter season, and now the rights have been bought by three satellite TVs, The asking price is quite high, and the price of a single episode broadcast on the Internet has exceeded tens of millions.”

Rong Xu nodded lightly: "It's pretty good."

Luo Zhentao said again: "I saw your audition today, it was excellent, I didn't expect your acting skills to be so good. I remember that the first month's scenes could be completed in this film and television city, but the next two months of filming, It seems like you're going to Hengdian and Xiangshan, and you're going to some scenic spots to shoot scenes. That...Rong Xu, don't you also go to Hengdian and scenic spots for your part?"

Rong Xu was noncommittal, but raised his eyes and looked at Luo Zhentao with a smile.

"It seems a bit inappropriate to follow the crew by yourself..." Luo Zhentao boldly said, "Have you ever thought about... really entering the entertainment industry?"

Rong Xu didn't answer Luo Zhentao's question immediately, but he didn't deny it either.After leaving the film and television city, Duan Butler's car had been waiting at the gate for a while, Rong Xu quickly got into the car, and invited Luo Zhentao to leave with him, but Luo Zhentao drove here by himself, so he could only decline Rong Xu's kindness with a smile .

Watching the car leave, Luo Zhentao still felt a little unreal.He subconsciously wanted to push the glasses, only to realize that he was wearing contact lenses today.

"Rong Xu...Rong Xu, it really looks like two people from before..."

After getting into the car, Rong Xu slowly closed his eyes, and the smile on his lips gradually disappeared.

The night in City B is slowly falling, and the lights are just coming on. The lights of Wanjia shine through the brown window stickers on the young man's delicate and beautiful face, making this face look even more hazy and beautiful.

Rong Xu naturally understood what Luo Zhentao wanted to say, but it was impossible for him to reply directly to the other party.

According to the memory of the original owner, Luo Zhentao seems to have been busy recently persuading his first-line star not to quit.Although Huaxia Entertainment is good, it is really full of stars. Here, if you are not extremely talented and powerful, you will never be the first brother, and the best resources will not be in your hands.On the contrary, if you open a studio and become the boss, you may be able to "rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail" and gain more room for development.

Rong Xu is not worried that he will be like that first-line star, hidden among the many first-line artists of Huaxia Entertainment.But he still has to wait, he wants to see whether Luo Zhentao can be a qualified manager, and he is also waiting for the first-line star to officially leave China Entertainment, so that Luo Zhentao can be his manager wholeheartedly.

To be a good star, a good agent is essential.

After a while, the car left the film and television city and got on the elevated road.Rong Xu recalled some things he saw during the day, and suddenly heard Steward Duan remind him softly: "Master, the second lady is back."

Rong Xu was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."

The Eldest Master and Eldest Lady are Rong Xu's parents, and the Second Master and Second Lady are his uncle and aunt.

The aunt who traveled to Europe for three months while her nephew was hospitalized and didn't come back once, finally came back today.
