Rebirth of Super Red Star

Haishi, 01:30 noon, in a Shandong restaurant called Yipinge in the city center.

Cheng Le was dressed in casual clothes and sat on the window seat in the private room, looking at the man and woman staring at him at the same time across the round table, shook his head angrily and amusedly, sighed helplessly, and resigned to his fate, picked them up and pushed them to him The book in front of him turned to the first page.

The man is very familiar to him, he has seen it before, the Asian director Xu Shengxin who will become a legend in the future.As for women, I don't have any impression. He didn't pay attention to the entertainment industry in the last world.But being able to mix with people like Xu Shengxin, the future achievements are probably not bad.

She is definitely not going to win the Oscar for Best Director, which caused a national sensation, but she should be able to do it.With a friend like Xu Shengxin, the relationship between the two of them is very good so far, even if they don't become super famous in the future and become a first-line director, it is still no problem.The old saying that people are grouped by clusters is very reasonable. People with too many differences in level and status are basically unable to maintain unequal friendships.

After pondering for a while, Cheng Le turned his attention to the script in his hand.

Although he planned to not accept any dramas until the first round of "Days" was finished, but Xu Shengxin brought someone to his door, and he was too embarrassed to directly refuse.

I've rejected it once before, so this time I can't hurt his face too much anyway.

Although the world is different, Xu Shengxin here may not succeed in the future, but he doesn't want to bet on that.

Many friends, many paths, he always said so, especially now that he was going to have a good time in the entertainment industry.When facing this kind of big cow who is very likely to succeed in the future, no matter how courteous and friendly they are, they can't be too much.

"Compartment".

Cheng Le opened the first page of the script, and the first thing he saw was the title composed of these two words.

What's more special is that Xia Tong, the author of the script under this title, who is the woman next to Xu Shengxin, unexpectedly printed the outline of the script in an ingenious way.Cheng Le only read it once, and already had a general understanding of the content of the script in his heart.

This drama seems to be a drama of life ethics. The content of the story revolves around several characters, and it develops naturally without any deliberate accumulation.

The plot is also quite normal. Simply put, it is a process of an ordinary man with ambition, accidentally falling in love with a prostitute, marrying her, and seeking justice for the woman after she passed away.

There are not too many conflicts, the development of the story is not ups and downs at all, and there are only a few explosive points in the whole story. In a sense, it is as flat as lukewarm water. Compared with Xu Shengxin's previous script, it is basically two extremes.

"Sky of the Sky" is too ghostly and special, while "Cubicle" is too ordinary and has no characteristics.

You said, why is there such a big difference between the scripts that have something to do with Xu Shengxin?

Due to the content of "Sky in the Sky", even if it is filmed, it will definitely not be released in China. The person in "Cubicle" has already learned to flatter the government.

When he read the synopsis just now, he didn't miss it. Don't be surprised by the blacked out and newly added text, he can only feel in his heart that Xu Shengxin has definitely learned the lesson from him after returning from the setback last time.

Silently gave Xu Shengxin a thumbs up in his heart, Cheng Le didn't spend too much time on this matter, he continued to read the script and picked some pages, and read the character descriptions and dialogues in the script.

how to say.

This story is really common, he can accept it or not.There is no difficulty in shooting and the period should not be long. If he wants to, he can take it.

It is that he needs to explain, to let Xu Shengxin understand that the last time he didn't shoot, it wasn't because he didn't give him face, but that the script was really not suitable.When he came again this time, the script was suitable, didn't he just agree?Let him remember his kindness, and don't get angry because he took on another script, then this matter will not be a good one.

"Director Xu, Director Xia, the content of this script is fine, but the shooting time..."

"Three months. No, no longer than three months!"

Xia Tong, who had been sitting next to Xu Shengxin observing Cheng Le, answered this question immediately, so fast and enthusiastic that the fat on Xu Shengxin's face beside him shuddered.

But Xia Tong didn't care about these things. She had observed Cheng Le for so long, and she felt more and more satisfied with Cheng Le in her heart.When she first created this script, her requirement for the role was to be young and mature, but she was unconventional and calm in her early 20s.

Under the appearance of young people, the down-to-earth personality is moving forward step by step.An ordinary and extraordinary man, his life is not very exciting but it is enough to be a reassuring reliance.Of course, there is a reason why she set it like this. She admired, hoped, and longed to meet such a man, so when she first thought of this story, she positioned the character like this.

After returning to China, she didn't even think about filming, but unexpectedly saw Cheng Le, and instantly equated his image with the male protagonist in the script.

Although Cheng Le's appearance is too handsome, his temperament makes up for everything.If you are too handsome, you can draw something ordinary, but it is difficult to change the impression you give people.

Under this youthful appearance, the mature charm that flashes from time to time is not to mention how attractive, let alone such a strong body.It's really... It's so hard that she can't help but want to become a wolf girl, and immediately execute this guy who caused people to commit crimes on the spot!

"Ahem! Saliva, wipe it off, and it will fall off if you don't wipe it again."

In Cheng Le's stunned expression, he seemed to be an idiot when he saw Xia Tong, who had a crush on the girl, being woken up by Xu Shengxin, his eyes puffed up and his lips were bewildered belatedly, and he crouched on the table with a blushing face, daring not to see anyone.

Cheng Le had a headache, feeling that Xia Tong was too weird, with a personality he had never seen before.

Did you like him just now?He was sure not.Then she looked at him just now, wishing he had no clothes on, what's the matter?

It can't be pure appreciation, right?Men like them have always appreciated women, and women rarely appreciate them.

If you don't believe me, ask women what they think of strong men, and nine out of ten will say 'I hate it, I don't like it, it's disgusting and deformed'.

But in fact, when they really developed to the point of getting married, having sex with those men, and having children with those men, even if they still refused to admit it, their bodies and their fascination with those men's strong muscles would still completely betray them.

"Forgive me, Xia Tong doesn't mean anything malicious. She just...uh, how should I put it, she really... admires men, especially healthy, strong and masculine men."

Seeing Xia Tong self-destructing the Great Wall and making a fuss, Xu Shengxin, who had a bit of a toothache, quickly changed the subject and began to remedy it.

"Cheng Le, after I bid farewell last time, I got to know your situation specifically, and I'm sure that the drama "Sky of the Sky" is really not suitable for you. But this time "Cubicle" has no similar problems. The plot is normal and there is no downside. The revealing scenes. The only thing that needs attention in terms of the plot is that the heroine is a prostitute, but you also saw that in the revised script, we have made up for that.”

He looked at the woman next to him who was still lying on the table and cast aside herself, and turned his eyes back to Cheng Le and said sincerely.

"I want you to think about it, I know you just finished "Days" and you need a break, but this drama will not take up too much of your time. This is a movie, it is different from the TV circle you are familiar with, you always have One day I’m going to set foot on the ground and try it out, so why not try it out now? It’s also a preparation for taking this step in the future.”

Xu Shengxin didn't say any rhetoric, but just talked about the development steps that these actors and entertainers know well.

Cheng Le also knows that if he continues to develop at his pace, he will indeed get involved in the film industry in the future.

There is no actor who does not want to act in a movie. Whether it is to make money efficiently or to increase his popularity, he cannot let go of the opportunity to shoot a movie.

If making a TV series is successful, it will quickly make the actors famous, but it is limited to being famous.If you want to quickly improve your social status and status, the fastest way is to set foot in the film industry, make films, participate in film festivals, nominate, and win awards.

If you're lucky, if you get the status, reputation, and titles of a movie, the fame and influence of an actor will explode in an instant, multiplying dozens of times.

At that time, with qualifications, status, and worth, actors can choose scripts and focus on quality.At this time, well-known actors seldom go back to film TV dramas. First, because the filming and production cycle of TV dramas is too long, the remuneration cannot skyrocket like that of movies. Second, the influence is basically limited to domestic countries, and there are very few examples of going abroad. , It is very unfavorable to continue to improve the image and status of actors.

Give the simplest example.

How many artists who only shoot TV dramas have endorsed international big names?

Usually it’s TV dramas, ratings, fame, success, and making movies. After the movie’s box office rises, its value, influence, and quality change immediately. After that, there will be news and gossip. One or two big-name endorsement advertisements have completely secured the throne of the red star, brother and sister in their circle.

"...Okay, I see. Director Xu, you are right. This is a rare opportunity. You can definitely try it."

The lightning in Cheng Le's heart quickly confirmed his mind, nodded and smiled at Xu Shengxin and Xia Tong who raised his head when he heard that he agreed to take over the filming.

"I don't have a problem with the schedule. It just happens to be Chinese New Year after I have been busy for three months."

"Now there is only one problem left, which is the salary. Director Xu and Director Xia, I have already agreed to take the film. In terms of salary, can you count it as after-tax for me, but you must not be familiar with it."

He made a joke with a smile, and the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became very relaxed.

Xu Shengxin said that this is what it should be. Xia Tong, who fully invested in the film, is a rich girl who is not short of money. He is absolutely satisfied with the remuneration given to Cheng Le, and it is definitely paid according to the standard of a popular actor.

Xia Tong also has no objection. As a director and investor, she is willing to spend more money if she can find an actor she likes to play a role.

As long as the film is shot well, everything else is easy to talk about. This is her first shot after returning from the United States.She must be a blockbuster and completely let the public know her as Xia Tong. Her ambition has always been to become the world's leading female director. How could she be content with being ordinary, and her ambition is stronger than that of a man!

knock knock --

The three of them were chatting happily and were about to call the waiter outside the door to order food when someone knocked on the wooden door at the entrance of the private room.

After waiting for three or four seconds, the door was pushed open, and the person who came in was Song Xinhu who was there before.He received a call before and went out to chat with the other party. It seems that the chat is over?

He has been very motivated and active recently. Although he didn't say anything, Cheng Le already understood what he meant.

He was also happy to see the success, and officially began to train Song Xinhu as his manager, with full authority to handle his daily affairs.

Since Song Xinhu doesn't want to be content with being ordinary and wants to successfully change his own destiny, as his employer and Liu Feng's lover, he will naturally not hesitate to give him a chance to try.

Human growth requires both self-effort and help from others.There are plenty of talented and capable people, and what is really needed is someone who understands them and is willing to help and support them.
