Superstar Aspirations

"Chasing the Deer" is the finale of Huaxia at the end of this year. As early as a year ago, when the crew was not fully prepared, countless fans were eagerly looking forward to it.In the end, the crew did not disappoint them.

The director is Guo Long, a well-known director in the industry, the heroine is Tang Menglan after the gold award, the male protagonist is Dong Zheng, a first-line niche student, and the second male protagonist is Ye Qiao, a popular niche student.Even the male number four, Rong Xu, became an instant hit in the recent weekly drama "Ambush", which can be described as the biggest dark horse this year.

All in all, "Chasing the Deer" was officially broadcast in the anticipation of tens of millions of viewers across the country.

With majestic background music and majestic special effects scenes, at the beginning of the first episode, a real and cruel war scene was restored to the audience.With the development of the plot, the audience quickly got to know Xiao Xiang, Xie Jingxian, and Dong Lilan...

The huge picture scroll of this world slowly unfolded in front of them. When the first episode ended, many viewers realized: "It turns out that so much time has passed!"

Next, is the second episode.

This is the advantage of daily dramas, you can watch them after watching them, and watch them the next day, and you can watch them non-stop!

Soon, the premiere day of "Chasing the Deer" ended like this.After 12 o'clock in the morning, the ratings of national TV stations were released on the whole network.Many viewers opened the ratings rankings while discussing the plot of "Chasing the Deer" with relish on the Internet.When they saw that number, they widened their eyes in horror, and then nodded as a matter of course——

[That's right, even if the ratings of the first broadcast hit 2.3, it's normal for this crew...]

Yes, the average ratings of the premiere of "Chasing the Deer" is 2.3!The highest audience rating is 2.55!

Such ratings can be said to be the veritable king of this year's ratings.Even the just-concluded "Ambush" has always been the number one ratings in the same period in the country, but its highest ratings have just broken 2, and the average ratings have never broken 2.Compared with other dramas, "Ambush" is already very good, but compared with "Chasing the Deer", there is no comparison at all!

And, this is the first day.

"Chasing the Deer" is a daily drama, and as long as the plot doesn't have too much damage, its ratings will increase day by day.

When Rong Xu learned of the ratings, although he was a little surprised, he still accepted it.Sitting in Luo Zhentao's office, he flipped through the announcement materials and said with a smile: "Actually, this is quite normal. I heard that Sister Tang has always been the elixir of ratings. As long as the TV series she starred in, from her debut work Up to now, there has never been a rush to the street."

Luo Zhentao laughed when he heard the words: "Then you don't know enough, Xiaoxu, Tang Menglan is a bit too lucky, only one of her films did not get the No. 1 rating in the same period, and all the others were No.[-]. But she is also a bit unlucky, her movies have not been high at the box office, and it is difficult to transition."

The two chatted for a while, then Luo Zhentao picked up an announcement and said, "This advertisement announcement is not bad. You just entered the circle, so it's not bad to accept an advertisement first." The two dramas are about to celebrate the Chinese New Year, have you thought about taking a break?"

Hearing this, Rong Xu's movements of flipping through the book froze for a moment, and the next moment he raised his head and smiled and said, "How is Brother Luo going to celebrate the New Year?"

Luo Zhentao didn't notice that Rong Xu was changing the subject, he smiled and talked about his plan.Listening to Luo Zhentao's New Year's plan, Rong Xu's thoughts slowly drifted away.

Chinese people love the Spring Festival, and they want to have a family reunion, which is festive and lively.

But it is unlikely that he will go back to Rong's house, even if he does, it will not be a reunion, let alone lively.

His new year is destined to be spent alone, maybe it is a good choice to take advantage of this time to shoot a movie and spend it with the crew.Thinking of this, Rong Xu casually picked up an announcement he had just watched, and was about to speak when Luo Zhentao's cell phone rang.

Luo Zhentao went out to pick him up, and when he came back, Rong Xu was about to tell the other party the announcement he had thought up again, but he saw Luo Zhentao walking towards him with a happy face and bright eyes, and said happily: "Xiao Xu, there is a Nice movie and would like to invite you to audition. How about it, will you go?"

A movie that can make Luo Zhentao so happy must not be an ordinary movie.

Rong Xu was slightly surprised: "What movie?"

As if aware of Rong Xu's thoughts, Luo Zhentao explained: "The investment is not too big, but the director and the chosen heroine are very good, the script is also very good, and most importantly, the prototype of this character is very good. This movie It's called "Black Clouds", and the other party wants you to audition for the male lead. You may have heard the name "Black Clouds", yes, this is the debut song of the popular singer who died of illness a few years ago."

When recording "Very Entertaining" before, Rong Xu was very worried that if Tang Menglan casually sang a well-known song, would he be able to sing it.But suppose Tang Menglan was not talking about "Sound of War" but "Black Clouds" at that time... What a coincidence, Rong Xu would also know this song.

The original owner is a person who likes to listen to heavy metal rock songs, and this "Black Cloud" is one of the few ballad songs he has ever heard.

This song has a pivotal position in China. In the memory of the original owner, when the singer died of illness three years ago, this song could be heard playing everywhere in China.

Ling Xiao, the top original singer in China more than 20 years ago, is also the king of the music scene who has won the Best Golden Melody Award for seven consecutive years, and has won awards for a total of 14 years.His death was no different from a major earthquake to the music scene at that time. It can be said that after his death, the Chinese music scene was hit hard, and it has only slowly recovered in recent years.

25 years ago, Ling Xiao made his debut with the song "Black Clouds". At first, he played the guitar and sang by himself at the subway entrance of City B.Later, the video of his singing was posted on the Internet. This song moved countless people, and soon he signed a contract and started his singing career.

Ling Xiao's talent is really too high, every one of his songs can touch people's hearts.Although his appearance is not very handsome, his gentle and clear voice can always touch the deepest part of the heart, making people gradually calm down and get rid of impetuousness.

However, five years ago, Ling Xiao was diagnosed with lymphoma. After two years of suffering, he died in the spring three years ago at the age of 41.When he died, the fans cried bitterly, and almost the entire entertainment industry mourned for him. Most of the stars in foreign entertainment circles also regretted his departure. Even Qin Cheng rushed back to China from Hollywood to participate in this event. The funeral of a king.

So Luo Zhentao said: "The investment in this film is not large, because the budget for actors is not much, and many big-name stars seem to have confirmed that they will star in friendship. Therefore, whether it is Ling Xiao's own appeal or those big-name stars who appear as guest stars, it is enough to guarantee The high box office of the film."

This movie is to commemorate Ling Xiao, but after all, it still has to reap benefits.Luo Zhentao's analysis is good, this movie is definitely a box office hit, but Rong Xu has something strange: "Why did you find me?"

Luo Zhentao smiled and said, "The assistant director called me just now, saying that it was because I heard the chorus between you and Tang Menglan on "Very Entertaining". Xiaoxu, I also think you can try cross-circle in the future. Your skills are very good. Great, and the voice condition is also good.”

Rong Xu was very surprised by this answer. He thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's go to the audition."

Luo Zhentao breathed a sigh of relief, he smiled and talked to Rong Xu about the script, saying that the crew would send the script in the evening.When he was about to send Rong Xu home, Luo Zhentao did not press the elevator button for a long time.

Rong Xu asked with a smile: "What's the matter, Brother Luo?"

Luo Zhentao smiled and pressed the button: "Music is inspiring. I also liked to listen to Ling Xiao's songs when I was young. Xiaoxu, it would be great if you could pass the audition. I believe you can play him well." " After a pause, Luo Zhentao seemed to suddenly think of something, he turned his head and looked at Rong Xu several times, his face suddenly twisted.

Rong Xu frowned slightly, and before he could ask any questions, Luo Zhentao sighed regretfully: "It's a pity, Xiao Xu, the way you sing is indeed similar to him. After getting along these days, I also think your acting skills are passable." Yes. Your only deficiency is..."

Speaking of this, Luo Zhentao suddenly stopped, and Rong Xu asked with a smile: "What is it?"

Luo Zhentao let out a long sigh: "You are so good-looking, you don't quite match Ling Xiao himself!"

Rong Xu: "..."

Few people are perfect. God gave Ling Xiao a god-like creative talent and a touching voice, but he didn't give him a good appearance.

Ling Xiao's appearance is very ordinary, belonging to the kind of public face that is completely inconspicuous in the crowd, but when Rong Xu went to the audition, the elderly makeup artist put on makeup for him and said with a smile: " When I was an apprentice, I met Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao was a very nice person, he sat there quietly all the time, sometimes it was overlooked that he was a superstar, and he would help people move things. Once the leader of our makeup team was in a hurry, so he took off his clothes and let others hold them, but he didn't know at the time that he actually threw the clothes in Ling Xiao's hands."

Rong Xu's heart trembled slightly.

The makeup artist went on to say: "When the makeup team leader came back, he was shocked when he saw Ling Xiao. At that time, Ling Xiao had just won three Golden Melody Awards. He was the brightest in the entire Chinese music scene Bright new star. He dared to ask Ling Xiao to help him get his clothes. He must be finished. But Ling Xiao waited patiently for half an hour, returned the clothes to him with his own hands, and told him that it was cold outside. Take off your clothes if you are afraid of trouble, and remember to put them on."

Rong Xu lowered his eyes, and Luo Zhentao beside him sighed softly.

As she spoke, the make-up artist choked up a little, obviously thinking of the death of the heavenly king, she still couldn't let go.

When all the makeup was done, the makeup artist looked at Rong Xu and couldn't help being a little dazed. She smiled and said, "Although you don't look alike, I've seen the video of you singing on "Very Entertaining" Rong Xu, I wish you pass the audition."

A sincere person was reflected in his clear eyes, Rong Xu couldn't help but curl his lips, he nodded with a light smile, and said, "Thank you."

Soon, Rong Xu went to the audition room under the leadership of the staff.But behind him, the makeup artist looked at his back in a daze.The little apprentice came over and asked, "Master, what are you looking at?"

The makeup artist came back to his senses all of a sudden: "It's nothing, I just feel that Rong Xu and Ling Xiao are inexplicably similar. Ling Xiao seemed to be like this back then, but Rong Xu was not as good-looking, but their essence is the same... a bit Gentleness is better than being close."

The little apprentice said in a daze, "Is there? I think it was you, the master, who was talking just now, and that Rong Xu didn't answer much."

The makeup artist was speechless: "If you don't talk, you are cold? It's alright, alright, let's go back."

At the same time, a plane crossed the vast Pacific Ocean and landed slowly at the Capital Airport.This time, he did not choose the VIP channel. The tall and handsome man wore a black coat and walked quickly through the crowd with a suitcase.

Soon someone spotted him, and immediately caused a commotion in the airport.

The plane arrived at noon, and it was not until three or four in the afternoon that Qin Cheng got on the car and returned to his apartment.As soon as he put his luggage away, he immediately turned on the computer, and entered the word "ambush" in the search box without saying a word. The next moment, he clicked on the finale video and watched it.

There was no expression fluctuation on the handsome and indifferent face, Qin Cheng watched the development of the plot calmly.He silently watched Pingcheng being breached, silently watched Huo Xi walk down the gangway, silently watched the group of soldiers kick Huo Xi's knees and force him to kneel... wait, this is not "silently" "Yes!

Qin Cheng narrowed his eyes and started typing. After a while, a barrage appeared in the army of barrages.

【kick him!You actually kicked him!Why did you kick him! ! ! 】

Such a good-looking and nice person, how could you be willing to kick him! ! !

Then, he saw the scene where Huo Xi committed suicide by taking poison.

Qin Cheng: "..."

Turn off the video, this is the end of this show.

Is there any further development?No more, Huo Xi is dead, what is the ending, this is the ending!

After a while, a comment appeared on the Weibo of the crew of "Ambush"——

[Lotus paste and orange stuffing: You are all bad guys, why do you want my family to die!Why!He is so good, he is so good-looking, who is willing to die!I want to send you blades, I want to send you blades! ! ! 】

Coincidentally, Deputy Director Li of the crew of "Ambush" logged into the official blog and accidentally saw this comment.He laughed, and said to his son next to him: "Look, the netizens these days are really interesting. They say they want to send us blades and explosives every day. It's so funny haha, he should be able to send them too. "

Three days later, the screenwriter of "Ambush" looked at the express package that had just been opened, and his face was filled with anger.

Why did someone actually send him a note with the word "blade" written on it!

To be reasonable, what kind of inexplicable person is this? You are not a blade. Are you here to act cute or stupid? !

——Huh, that's not right, how does this person know his home address? !

Thoughtful...

These are funeral affairs, let's not talk about it for now.Now, Rong Xu has just stepped into the door of the audition room, and in City B, the phone rang continuously in the quiet apartment.Soon, Qin Cheng pressed the answer button and said in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

There seemed to be some noise on Xu Jin's side, and he said loudly: "Just now the crew of "Black Clouds" came to ask me if you would like to make a guest appearance in the movie. You don't need to have too many roles, just attend the funeral at the beginning. This is a flashback , the opening scene is a funeral, you only have tens of seconds of footage, how about it, it’s a cameo appearance, many people have gone, Wen Xuan, Xia Muyan, Chu Qi, they all have a part in the scene.”

The man frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Yes, just arrange the time for me."

Xu Jin: "..."

After a while: "You still don't have time?! Tell me, your next film will start shooting in three months. During these three months, do you plan to accept an endorsement, or participate in a variety show, or... Are you trying to take another film?"

Qin Cheng raised an eyebrow: "I'm going to accept variety shows, don't you worry?"

Thinking of a certain man's indifferent and vicious tongue, Xu Jin shivered suddenly: "Forget it, you must not accept variety shows, or your image will be completely destroyed." After talking for a while , Xu Jin suddenly thought: "Oh, by the way, I heard that Rong Xu will also audition for the role of Ling Xiao this time, I remember you said that Madam Qin cared about him very much, just so you can go and see him too, haha .”

The fierce phoenix eyes widened suddenly, and the thin lips pursed, Qin Cheng said: "Is he going to audition?"

Xu Jin said as a matter of course: "Yes, it seems that there are three audition actors, and he is one of them. But the chances are very slim. He is a newcomer and has not acted in a movie. The director just depends on his singing feeling and Ling Xiao It's kind of like, that's why he was asked to audition."

"...Tell me the result as soon as possible."

Xu Jin: "What?"

The stern and dignified man lowered his eyes slightly, and said word by word: "I seem to be quite leisurely in the next three months, maybe... I can play a little more."

Xu Jin: "..."

Then who said just now that he was too busy to have time, and he needed someone to arrange time for him to be a guest star!

The author has something to say: Qin Chengcheng: He is so cute and good-looking, why did you let him die!Send a blade Send a blade Send a blade! ! !

Looking at the mountain of notes with "Blade" written on it, the screenwriter: ...【Are you sick?! ! ! 】
