Superstar Aspirations

Xiangshan and Hengdian Film and Television City are also located in Zhejiang Province, only more than 100 kilometers apart.At noon that day, Rong Xu directly told Rosie about the matter and asked her to refund her ticket back to city B in the evening.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Cheng's assistant drove to Xiangshan Film and Television City, and the group went to Hengdian.

Rong Xu called to inform Luo Zhentao of the news, but he didn't want to just finish speaking, Luo Zhentao smiled and said: "I found out in the morning. Xu Jin called me first to ask me about your itinerary. Xiaoxu, I'll listen Xu Jin said that there are not many scenes for that character. If your filming goes well, you should be able to finish filming in a week. Director Xu’s film will not start in two weeks. Although I really want you to rest more, this film The movie...was really good."

Immediately after finishing filming a film, rushing to another film crew to audition without stopping, this is a bit of an overload for any actor.

Of course, there are also some actors who like to squeeze dramas-shooting multiple movies at the same time, rushing crews everywhere, so that they can have more works, earn more money, and get more exposure.But this kind of behavior has always been shameless for insiders.

Because the actors cut the scenes, it means that the crew has to adjust the shooting according to the time of the actors, which is very inconvenient.Moreover, rolling plays can easily lead to problems with the actor's state, and it is impossible to switch between the roles of the two plays.

Naturally, Rong Xu wouldn't be involved in dramas, but if he was filming "Beautiful Flowers", he really wouldn't have a few days off.But just like what Luo Zhentao said, this film is a good opportunity. It is a rare opportunity to cooperate with international directors, movie kings and actresses.

Luo Zhentao said: "Mr. Qin recommended you to film this movie."

The male number three originally planned in "Makeup Flowers" is a Chinese-American who has a lot of fame in the United States. The reason why he was chosen was not only that his image and acting skills met the requirements, but Mr. Liu wanted to borrow his appeal. Crazy over there in the US market.

No one thinks too much money, since this little fresh meat is very famous in the United States, let him act.

Of course, Mr. Liu never expected that this little fresh meat from the United States actually uttered anti-China remarks on an American program two days ago.He was obviously born in Huaxia, and his body was filled with Chinese blood, but this kind of ungrateful villain, after being nurtured by the motherland, has no hesitation in joining the nationality of other countries, and dares to slander his own motherland.

"His parents are still in Huaxia now, that little bastard, he is not afraid of being struck by lightning when he says that!" Old Liu was yelling at the crew at that time.

Xu Jin told Luo Zhentao that at that time, Lao Liu was so angry that he called several friends in the circle directly, and together they blocked this little fresh meat in the Huaxia entertainment circle.However, the other party's anti-China remarks have already spread to China, and hundreds of millions of netizens are scolding him, but he himself doesn't care, and he has a face of "I don't want to make money from you".

It's really knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing people's hearts. At the beginning, the crew of "Zhuang Hua Luo" gave the other party a good signing bonus, but now the other party has broken the contract and ruined it with confidence.

But Rong Xu naturally didn't know what stimulated him, Rong Xu only knew that Mr. Liu must have been stimulated and got mad.

Originally, that little fresh meat was supposed to join the group yesterday, but now his roles have been suspended and he has to re-cast actors.For a large-scale production crew like this, there are thousands of people in a crew, and every day of delay is a sum of money.How could Mr. Liu have trouble with money? He kept urging the producer to contact the actors as soon as possible. He had auditioned three times yesterday, but he was not satisfied. He will continue to audition today.

But it's not so easy to find an actor who suits his heart, and he must be able to film immediately.Many first-line film niche students who met the conditions bumped into the announcement one after another. They really wanted to make this movie of Mr. Liu, but Mr. Liu was determined not to allow actors to participate in the film.

So, when Qin Cheng said Rong Xu's name today, Old Liu's eyes lit up: "He has a schedule?!"

Qin Cheng nodded lightly, as if he just mentioned it casually, without much urgency: "Well, it happened to be finished yesterday."

Mr. Liu hesitated when he heard the words: "...I just finished the filming, isn't this a bit too rushed?"

The impeccably handsome man lowered his eyes and smiled, and asked, "Old Liu, can you find someone better than him?"

Old Liu: "..."

After thinking for a while, Mr. Liu suddenly felt that he seemed to have been tricked by the other party.The old man winked at Qin Cheng and said, "You didn't mean to deceive me just now, did you? Qin Cheng, I heard about you going to present the award to Rong Xu. You must have gone to present the award to him on purpose. , you have such a good relationship, you obviously recommended him on purpose, right?"

Mr. Liu and Qin Cheng have known each other for many years, and they can be regarded as forgetful friends, and they have a very good relationship.

It stands to reason that normal people should feel ashamed, rather than panicked, after being exposed by others. Unexpectedly, Qin Cheng just raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up calmly, and asked with a light smile: "Then what do you want?" Do you want me to invite him?"

Old Liu: "..."

Xu Jin who was silently watching from the side: "..."

Finally, there are people in this world who can feel his pain!

After making the phone call at noon, Qin Cheng sent the script of "Zhuang Hua Luo" to Rong Xu.In fact, a long time ago, Qin Cheng and Rong Xu revealed some plot content. Simply put, this is a martial arts story in the last years of the Ming Dynasty and a chaotic world.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, wars broke out all over the world, and the dynasty of more than 200 years was dying.

After Kong Chao, the commander of Jinyiwei played by Qin Cheng, returned to the court after carrying out a conspiracy mission, his brothers around him died strangely one by one.Everyone died very normally, some died of accidents, and some died of failed missions.However, within a year, 11 people died one after another, which made Kong Chao feel abnormal.

Until one day when Kong Chao returned home, a brother was seriously injured and fled to him and died in his arms.Before he died, this man was still pointing at Kong Chao's heart, but his tongue had been cut off, so he could only stare at Kong Chao with his eyes wide open.

Next, in order to find out the truth, Kong Chao started a series of explorations, but finally fell into a chess game.

The role Rong Xu wants to play is Zhu Molang, the prince of the current dynasty. The Jinyiwei led by Kong Chao is loyal to the emperor, but the emperor is old, and the prince supervises the country and holds great power.Before Kong Chao could find out the source of the truth, Zhu Molang summoned him and asked him about his recent strange behavior. After learning of Jin Yiwei's bizarre deaths, he appointed Kong Chao to investigate the truth.

So since then, Kong Chao went deep into the rivers and lakes to search for the truth in the mist, but unexpectedly everything pointed to an unimaginable direction.

The movie "Zhuanghualuo" is taken from reality, but it is also divorced from reality.For example, the prince that Rong Xu is going to play, his prototype has been highly evaluated in history, not to mention his ability, but the point is that he is quite beautiful.

This alone gave old Liu a headache: he needs good acting skills and good looks, where can he find a good seed in the short term?

On the way to Hengdian, Rong Xu has been studying the script.This was the first time he read the script. Originally, he just wanted to analyze the script rationally as an outsider, but after watching it, he was actually attracted by the plot.In the end, all the foreshadowings were uncovered one by one, and the road turned around. After all the truth came out, he couldn't help but feel emotional in his heart.

Seeing Rong Xu frowning slightly, Rosie asked softly, "Xiao Xu, is the script good?"

Rong Xu seldom showed any expression when he was reading the script. It was the first time Rosie saw his current appearance.

Hearing this, Rong Xu locked the phone screen, raised his head with a smile and asked, "Sister Xiaoqian, what do you think of Qin Cheng's movie?"

Hearing the name of her boss, the little assistant sitting in the driver's seat immediately pricked up her ears, only to hear Rosie say without hesitation: "The movies of Qin Shen are all great! They are very, very good! I really like watching them. You have to read all of them at least three times!"

Obviously not praising himself, but Rong Xu couldn't help laughing: "Well, so you said, is this script good?"

Rosie nodded immediately.

Rong Xu never doubted Qin Cheng's ability to choose scripts.In fact, he is also very picky about scripts, but after all, he can receive fewer scripts than Qin Cheng, and he doesn't have so many choices.Just like this "Makeup Flower", Rong Xu is also very interested in Qin Cheng's role, but it is absolutely impossible for Mr. Liu to let him play it.

But... the role of Zhu Molang is actually no worse than Kong Chao.

Jin Yiwei wore the flying fish suit, which was made of the highest grade brocade, which was made by the skillful embroidered lady in the south of the Yangtze River with makeup flower Luo, makeup yarn and makeup silk, and wore the Xiuchun knife.Kong Chao is a veritable protagonist, but Zhu Molang is the key figure throughout.

Rong Xu closed his eyes, thinking carefully about the plot of the whole movie. Ten minutes later, he turned on his phone again and read the script for the second time.When reading the script this time, he did not put his own emotions into it, but analyzed the script from an objective perspective.

Excellent screenwriters have their own intentions for every line.

Rong Xu first read all the plots with Zhu Molang's role, and then specifically picked out Zhu Molang's lines, and studied them several times.The car was bumpy, so he could only hold his mobile phone and study it silently in his heart.

Because of the traffic jam, it was already eight o'clock in the evening when we actually arrived at Hengdian Film and Television City.

Rong Xu followed Qin Cheng's assistant into the crew, and he didn't see a single idler along the way, all the staff came and went in a hurry.When some staff saw Rong Xu, they excitedly wanted to ask for an autograph, but they just hurriedly asked for an autograph, and immediately threw themselves into their work.

Rosie said doubtfully, "They're so busy."

Rong Xu didn't answer, he heard a sharp metal impact, clanking, the air trembled.It seemed to be the sound of black iron colliding, the whole crew was silent, only the sound of bang bang kept ringing out.

Rosie also shut her mouth and stopped talking. When she got closer, Rong Xu raised her eyes and saw the man——

Wearing a green woven flying fish suit, with a wide black belt tightly stretching out his waist, and a pair of jade-inlaid official boots on his feet, with a little toe, his figure is like a flying swallow. He quickly passed through the building and met the masked man in black Passed by, stabbed in the heart.

Qin Cheng's stern and profound face was like a sculpture, and his black eyes were filled with a cold light. He quickly shuttled among more than a dozen masked assassins, killing a person with one knife, and splashing blood on his cheek with one knife.However, he didn't stop, and slaughtered lives indifferently, and finally fell to the ground on one knee. The Xiuchun knife was soaked in blood. When he stood on the ground, there were already a dozen corpses behind him.

On the empty road, the shops on both sides have long been closed, only the bleak moonlight shines on the earth, and also on this bloody world.The glaring blood flowed down from the bodies of those corpses, and slowly spread along the cracks in the bluestone slabs, looking terrifying and hideous.

Seeing this scene, Luo Xi couldn't help covering her mouth, while Rong Xu also narrowed her eyes, looking at Qin Cheng calmly.

I saw Qin Cheng slowly stood up from the ground with the help of this narrow embroidered spring knife.A trace of blood gradually deepened around his lips. When he raised his head, his eyes met Rong Xu's, but he didn't change color at all, as if he didn't see Rong Xu at all, he still stood up calmly and walked away step by step. alley.

The indifferent and powerful aura instantly dissipated, making everyone unable to move.

"Card!"

When Mr. Liu's voice sounded, the whole crew finally started to move again.

The extras who played the corpse on the ground stood up one by one, and the prop master went up to help them untie the wire.The head of the props team also hurried forward to help Qin Cheng untie the wire on his body. At the same time, the makeup artist walked forward quickly, picking up a brush to touch up Qin Cheng's makeup.

Unexpectedly, Qin Cheng shook his head lightly and said, "My friend is here."

The makeup artist was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously stepped aside, letting Qin Cheng walk out of the studio.

Under the watchful eyes of countless crew members, Qin Cheng walked out of the set step by step, walked through seven or eight cameras, and walked in front of Rong Xu.He lowered his head slightly, there was props and fake blood on his lips, and he was also wearing that cold dark blue flying fish suit.The long-haired wig was tied up high and tied behind his head. When he lowered his head, the strands of hair fell down his cheeks, making him even more handsome.

Qin Cheng stared at the young man in front of him seriously, and Rong Xu also looked up at him.

The man's deep phoenix eyes were filled with an invisible color, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but after a short pause, under the eyes of dozens of staff, he just opened his arms, She hugged Rong Xu lightly, and said calmly, "You're here."

Can't say more words, can only say these three words.

Being hugged by a man, what Rong Xu smelled was only the smell of prop blood in his nose, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.Thousands of words can only be reduced to one sentence in the end: "Long time no see."

It was like meeting the most ordinary friends. Although there was something strange about this hug, the staff didn't think too much about it.

Mr. Liu quickly noticed the situation here. When he saw Rong Xu, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked over with big strides: "Rong Xu? I heard Lao Xu praised you before, and I heard that you just finished the film yesterday. , Do you have the energy to audition now? It just so happens that the make-up team has time, so I can directly help you with a look."

As soon as Mr. Liu opened his mouth, he blocked his way, which made Rong Xu dumbfounded.

After all, Mr. Liu has come over, Rong Xu naturally couldn't hold Qin Cheng anymore, so he let go of his hand and said with a smile, "Is it director Xu Sheng?"

Old Liu laughed: "Yes, I heard that you will cooperate with Lao Xu in the next play, so I called him at noon."

This sentence is said lightly, but it also implies that Mr. Liu has already figured out the details of Rong Xu.He has never seen Rong Xu's works, neither "Chasing the Deer" nor "Ambush", he was going to see "Black Clouds", but happened to have something to do, so he didn't watch it during the release, and he has been busy with "Black Cloud" since then I don't have time to read the preliminary preparations for "Makeup Flower Luo".

In the past two days, Mr. Liu has already auditioned seven or eight film niches. Either the image is not suitable, or the acting skills cannot pass the test.

Although Qin Cheng recommended Rong Xu, it was impossible for Mr. Liu to agree hastily. He was relieved when he learned that Rong Xu's acting skills were good and passed Xu Sheng's eyes.This saves time for Rong Xu to come to the audition. If the acting skills are poor, it is a waste of everyone's time.

Rong Xu was about to agree, but Qin Cheng snorted softly, and said in a low voice, "What did Director Xu say?"

Mr. Liu replied: "Old Xu said that Rong Xu is a good talent. He decided to cooperate with you after watching "Black Clouds." After a pause, Mr. Liu smiled again: "Qin Cheng recommended it to me When I was with you, I felt pretty good, how about it, Rong Xu, can I change my look now?"

Qin Cheng nodded: "Director Xu is right, he is very discerning. Last year's "Deep Courtyard" was very good."

After hearing this, Mr. Liu turned his head and chatted with Qin Cheng about Xu Sheng's "Deep Courtyard", which was nominated for the Golden Phoenix Award, and forgot to urge Rong Xu to put on makeup.He kept chatting with Qin Cheng, and Qin Cheng nodded from time to time. The old man got excited and talked about a movie he made last year.

Taking this opportunity, Rong Xu finally took a breath.

As soon as he got up at noon today, he received a call from Qin Cheng. After packing his luggage, he came to Hengdian Film and Television City.Needless to say, he was exhausted along the way. If he had to go on putting on makeup all the time, he might not be able to audition in his best condition.

After Mr. Liu finished speaking, he picked up his cup and took a sip of water. Qin Cheng then turned to his assistant and said, "Take him to my place to have a rest."

The little assistant nodded quickly, and then Mr. Liu remembered: "Hey, wait a minute, didn't you say you are going to put on makeup?"

Qin Cheng smiled lightly and hooked his lips, and said: "Last year in Berlin, when I met Lilov, he told me that he planned to make a movie this year..."

Elder Liu's attention was drawn again, and after the two chatted for half an hour, Elder Liu suddenly realized.He hurriedly asked Rong Xu to put on makeup to prepare for the audition, Qin Cheng frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but Rong Xu smiled and shook his head at him, so he could only agree.

While putting on makeup, Rong Xu received a text message from a man.

[Qin Cheng: If I knew the traffic jam was like this today, I should pick you up tomorrow. 】

Traffic jam is an extremely tiring thing, if Rong Xu arrives in Hengdian at [-] or [-] o'clock, it may not be too tiring, so it's no problem to directly put on makeup and audition.But now he didn't arrive until after eight o'clock, and he was already exhausted, and Mr. Liu was urging him to film early.

[Rong Xu: It's better to be earlier, it's settled today, if it doesn't work, I can take the plane back tomorrow. 】

After a while, Qin Cheng's text message replied: [...you are not here, can you stay a few more days? 】

How many days?That is to spend a few more days with someone?

Having seen through the other party's intentions directly, Rong Xu asked sternly: 【Do you think that I will fail the audition? 】

Qin Cheng who saw this text message: "..."

Well, fell into the trap.

Then Qin Cheng went to film, Rong Xu put down his phone and put on his makeup with peace of mind.Zhu Molang's costume was a very cumbersome and gorgeous python robe. Three makeup artists worked together to tidy up the gold and jade inlaid clothes.Then the makeup artist carefully helped Rong Xu put on the wig, and skillfully pulled the long black hair around the back of his head.

Maybe it's because the stars who auditioned have done a lot of makeup in the past few days. These makeup artists are obviously very skilled, and they finished Rong Xu's look in a few strokes.When the makeup was finished, one of the older makeup artists suddenly thought: "Oh yes, where is that red mole? Yesterday the director said that the center of the eyebrows is not good, where should I change it?"

Another makeup artist thought for a while: "Director Wang said that the end of the eye is right, or is it there?"

"Okay, I'll give it a try...Huh? Rongrong's eyes have a light color mark!" As if realizing his slip of the tongue, the make-up artist suddenly blushed, became serious again, and said seriously: "I... ...I'll order this."

While speaking, the makeup artist took a cinnabar pen and lightly tapped a dark red mole at the end of Rong Xu's eyes.

When everything was finally over, the make-up artist who had exposed her fangirl nature walked aside shyly, not daring to look at Rong Xu again.However, after Rong Xu stood up, he handed the phone to Rosie, and instead of leaving the dressing room immediately, he looked at the makeup artists with a smile and asked, "Hi, I'm Rong Xu, please give me your advice."

All the makeup artists were stunned.

The next moment, four makeup artists came over immediately and said in unison: "Rongrong! Can you sign me! I really, really, really like you!!!"

Rong Xu: "..."

Unexpectedly... there are so many people.

Rong Xu walked out of the dressing room after signing the names of each makeup artist.Outside, Qin Cheng had already finished today's scene, still wearing makeup, talking to Mr. Liu.When they heard someone call out the name "Rong Rong" accidentally, they turned their heads together. In an instant, Qin Cheng's eyes froze, and Liu Lao also opened his eyes wide and stared at him dumbfounded.

The screenwriter used a bunch of complex and magnificent words to describe Zhu Molang's beauty, and added a sentence "words cannot express" at the end.But Rong Xu's good looks, but the moment he walked out of the dressing room, he was like the brightest existence in the world, attracting the attention of all things in the world.

The phoenix eyes are tall, the face is gorgeous, the body is beautiful jade, and the phoenix looks like a dragon.

The small dark red mole at the end of the eye was burning like a raging fire. Rong Xu raised his eyes and looked at Qin Cheng with a light smile. The latter couldn't help pursing his lips, and his throat gradually became dry.Their sights crossed five or six meters and met in the air.

Qin Cheng opened his lips slightly, and was about to speak, but before he could speak, Mr. Liu laughed and said, "Okay! Today's filming is over, hurry up and audition, it's great!"
