Actor VS Actor

"Emperor again?" Zheng Yiwei casually flipped through the new script that Bai Zhiling threw to him, with disgust on his face, "You've let me play the emperor for ten years, don't you bother me!"

When he was still a freshman at the Film Academy, he played the role of Kangxi in his youth in a massive TV series. Although there were only three episodes and few dialogues, his innate talent for acting and his chic and handsome demeanor were impressive. He won the first batch of die-hard fans, and was noticed by many brokerage companies, throwing high prices and vying to sign him.

At that time, Bai Zhiling was just an incognito assistant working in his own entertainment media company. After Zheng Yiwei became popular, Bai Zhiling first worked as his assistant, and then gradually became his manager.Over the past ten years, under his selection, Zheng Yiwei has acted in no less than ten emperors, Kangxi, Qianlong, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Qin Shihuang and various emperors from alternate histories...

Many film and television critics laughed and said that when Zheng Yiwei was born, his father gave him this name and he was destined to play the emperor. Zheng Yiwei, I thought...

His fans call themselves "subjects" and affectionately refer to Zheng Yiwei as "Your Majesty".

At the age of 22, Zheng Yiwei successfully portrayed the domineering and aggressive Qin Shihuang for his brilliant performance in the movie "The Heroes of Troubled Times" by the famous director Feng Qinan. Young winners.

After that night, Zheng Yiwei became more and more popular, and Zihong Entertainment Media Company took advantage of the situation to tailor his first music album "Love Qings". His singing skills are average, but his voice is very magnetic. Wearing sunny and handsome T-shirts and jeans and singing modern songs, the MV gave people a refreshing feeling. Several title songs quickly climbed to the top of the major music charts.

The best-seller of this album has laid the foundation for Zheng Yi to expand his acting career. He began to develop in music, hosting and other fields. He has received wide attention in various fields, and there are more and more film and commercial contracts.

Over the past ten years, he has become one of the four most charismatic kings in the entertainment industry today.The popularity is so high, on the one hand, it is due to his superb acting skills. So far this year, he has won no less than ten actor awards at home and abroad. Everyone is kind and easy going.

What's more valuable is that in today's national entertainment, when many people are vying to be famous, they almost find negative news about Zheng Yiwei in the entertainment section.He respects his parents, is very loyal to his friends and younger generations, and loves his fans even more. Apart from his heavy addiction to smoking and alcohol, he has almost no bad habits. He doesn't like clubbing or nightlife, and he doesn't rely on his own charm. Promiscuous girlfriends in the circle.He is also very keen on public welfare. According to relevant insiders, half of his annual salary is donated to the Zheng Yiwei Foundation he founded to help sick and weak orphans.

Zheng Yiwei is a high-quality and idol actor in the eyes of the people.

There has never been a lack of handsome guys in the entertainment industry. Zheng Yiwei's appearance is actually not particularly handsome. Once a physiognomy scientist who didn't like him blatantly predicted on a TV program that although he would be rich and honored all his life, he was destined to have no children. Die alone.

As soon as this remark came out, the public was in an uproar, Zheng Yiwei's fans were very angry, and some of them lost their minds and even threatened that the physiognomyist dared to curse their majesty. If they pass him, they will punish him with capital punishment instead of His Majesty!

Bai Zhiling realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately asked the public relations department to issue a statement on Zheng Yiwei's official website and major fan support websites, urging everyone to be more rational and not to do things that would insult Zheng Yiwei's image.

Unexpectedly, that physiognomy scientist was still attacked by unknown people. He lay in the hospital with a bandage on his head and yelled at the camera interviewing him, "Zheng Yiwei, you really treat yourself as a f***ing actor after acting too much!" The emperor?! State-owned state law, even if you are a superstar, you don’t have the privilege of instigating and hurting people! I want to sue you, and you will be ruined—”

For a while, the news that "Actor Zheng Yi may face prison for instigating fans to beat up physiognomy" occupied the headlines of major entertainment media.

At that time Zheng Yiwei was filming a foreign language film on a foreign island, Bai Zhiling ordered that no one should tell him about it so as not to affect his mood.He didn't know about the uproar in the country until the movie was finished and he returned to China.

In the hotel, looking through the stack of newspapers and magazines with relevant news that his assistant Xiao Mi had collected for him, Zheng Yiwei felt rather complicated.

Within half a month, the paparazzi and reporters could not find him, so they turned to besiege the people around him. His parents and good brothers were harassed every day, but no one complained to him, allowing him to feel at ease while filming abroad .

However, there are quite a few people who took advantage of the opportunity to blackmail him, or wanted to take advantage of this shareholder's wind to hype him. Among them were second-tier stars who were not as popular as him, film and television newcomers who had worked with him in the same movie, and a mysterious man who claimed to be his friend. people……

"Zheng Yiwei has always been domineering, and it's normal to do this kind of thing. He's a heavenly king, why don't you dare..."

"I don't know the truth of the matter, but Brother Yiwei is a very good actor. Even if he really did something bad, he is still a senior I respect..."

"Although I'm Yiwei's friend, I really can't tolerate him being so self-willed. He used to bully the weak at school, but I didn't expect him to become even worse at the age of 28! To be a human being requires a little bit of morality. How could he If he is a superstar, he will bully others! If he doesn't stand up and admit his mistakes, and apologize to Master Feng and the public, I don't think I will be friends with such a shameless person..."

The public opinion is on two sides, one side wants him to apologize hoarsely, and the other side wholeheartedly supports and believes him.

In fact, Zheng Yiwei has no idea, he has too many fans, he is not sure if it is really one of them who did something crazy for him on the spur of the moment.

Hongzi quickly held a press conference to show the public the persuasion statement published on the official website and support website to prove the innocence of the company and Zheng Yiwei. Zheng Yiwei also attended the press conference and solemnly assured that he never instigated or induced fans to do something illegal.

"Could it be that you inadvertently hinted that you don't remember?" a reporter asked sharply.

Zheng Yiwei smiled, "To be honest, I really have no reason to do this, because I don't feel that what Master Feng said offended me..."

The media present were a little stunned. How could he not mind being cursed to kill off his children and grandchildren? !

"You don't have to be too surprised. In fact, when I was 20 years old, I decided that I would never have children in my life. I have communicated with my parents and they understand me very well. Therefore, I believe that the public and my fans I can also understand my personal choice..." Zheng Yiwei calmly faced all the scenes, and after hastily taking them, he changed the subject, "Also, I want to take this opportunity to tell my fans that I hope everyone will chase stars rationally, don't If you do something that shouldn’t be done on a whim, if you are punished by the law for hurting others, your relatives and friends will be sad and disappointed, and I will also be very sad, so for yourselves, your relatives and friends, and me, Please be a rational person... I believe everyone can do it, right?"

That press conference was broadcast live on many TV stations. Zheng Yiwei's attitude of facing the problem and his sincere advice to fans moved many people who doubted him. Afterwards, the company also did a lot of work, and the public opinion gradually turned back to Zheng Yi Because of this, most people believed in his character.

A few days later, the police finally found out the real culprit who attacked Master Feng. That person was not a fan of Zheng Yiwei at all.

After the truth came to light, Master Feng’s reputation became so bad that no one asked him to see pictures or do interviews anymore. Zheng Yiwei, who had cleared his grievances, was more firmly supported by fans, and those who had no good impressions of him changed towards him. Views, various media even changed their previous guessing attitudes and praised him for being honest and frank, with a healthy and positive image.

A turmoil finally passed without any danger. After this incident, Zheng Yiwei became more mature in his conduct, saw many people around him clearly, and once again saw clearly the colorful world of the entertainment industry.

He has been called "Zheng Tianwang" and "Your Majesty" for too long, and he almost forgot the cruelty of this circle. He suddenly woke up, no matter how bright his appearance is, he is just an ordinary person.He is not a real emperor who can dominate the whole world. On the contrary, he is a person on stilts. If he is pushed by someone who cares a little carelessly, he may be doomed.

He worked more down-to-earth, behaved cautiously, blocked the mouths of those malicious people with a good movie, and rewarded those who silently supported him.

However, after the turmoil of instigating fans passed, Zheng Yiwei's phrase "I will never have children in this life" at the press conference made him a hot topic again.

Two years have passed, and today there are still people who make a fuss about this issue. There are all kinds of speculations. Some people suspect that he is incompetent or suffering from infertility. Some even suspect that he is GAY...

For all kinds of rumors, Zheng Yiwei always laughed and did not respond.

Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, he is also a fine individual, and he will never be as serious as when he first debuted, explaining and arguing with the media about everything.As long as it's not too much negative news, it's up to them to write it, and it's right to increase their exposure for themselves.

In the past two years, he has changed from the flamboyant and arrogant style he developed when he became popular, and has become low-key and restrained. He is much more cautious in choosing scripts than before, and he is no longer willing to make bad movies for money.He really likes the work of acting, he doesn't want to be confined to the "professional emperor" routine, he wants to broaden his acting skills, and seek greater role breakthroughs.

In the first half of the year, he accompanied his parents to Europe to celebrate their [-]th wedding anniversary. Except for two commercials, he didn’t take any other jobs for five months. Bai Zhiling said that the company had selected a very good script for him. Wait for him to return to the country and turn it on immediately.

After helping Zheng Yiwei to calm down the turmoil two years ago, Bai Zhiling officially took over Hongzi.As the president of the company, he has a lot of things to do every day, and it is reasonable to say that Zheng Yiwei should be handed over to other managers, but Bai Zhiling insists on continuing to be his exclusive manager and personally manage his acting career.In addition to valuing Zheng Yiwei as Hongzi's first brother, it is also because of the ten-year solid friendship between the two.Bai Zhiling is only one year older than Zheng Yiwei, and together they have grown from obscurity to support each other to become heavyweights in today's entertainment industry. People only see their glamorous appearance, but only the two of them know the hard work and sweat involved.

In career, Zheng Yiwei trusts Bai Zhiling [-]%.

However, he never expected that he would ignore his protest and once again take over the role of emperor for him, and he would kill him first and play later without telling him.

Zheng Yiwei's parents were both born abroad. After marriage, he moved to China for his career. Influenced by his foreign parents, he is open-minded and cheerful by nature, and he rarely loses his temper.

In front of the assistant Xiao Mi and the president's special assistant Ji Yun, Zheng Yiwei didn't save any face for Bai Zhiling, threw the script on his face and shouted: "I won't act, if you love to act, act yourself!"

Bai Zhiling had expected his reaction, his face remained unchanged, and he glanced at Ji Yun.

Ji Yun understood, and pulled Xiao Mi, who was blinking and wanting to see a good show, out of the CEO's office.

"Do you know how much liquidated damages the company will pay if you refuse to act?" Bai Zhiling asked coolly, turning the writing pen in his hand.

Zheng Yiwei sat crookedly on the sofa like an old man, with his legs crossed on the coffee table, lit a cigarette with a stinky face, "You were the one who hid the contract from me, so don't blame me for being unrighteous."

Bai Zhiling grinned grimly, "Aren't you afraid that I'll hide you?"

"It's a big deal, I'll quit." Zheng Yiwei blew smoke rings indifferently.

Bai Zhiling reminded him coldly, "Your contract with the company will expire in three years."

Zheng Yiwei laughed, "I believe that with my status as the king of heaven, there must be many companies fighting for the top and willing to pay me this liquidated damages."

"..." Bai Zhiling was so angry that his teeth were itching. Damn it, I didn't pay you to become the Heavenly King, why are you so nervous in front of me now!

Seeing his face change, Zheng Yiwei didn't want to really hurt the brotherhood, so he said seriously with a relaxed expression: "Dabai, I really don't want to play the role of the emperor anymore, just let me go, at worst, I will tell the company about the remuneration for the next movie." Five times, will it work?"

Bai Zhiling also got serious and tried to persuade him, "This script is really well written, you will definitely change your mind after reading it..."

"No matter how good the script is, I don't want to play the emperor anymore!" Zheng Yiwei irritatedly stubbed out his cigarette.

Bai Zhi Ling was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and said, "Forget it, if you don't want to act, then you don't have to act, it's hard not to be happy."

When did Dabai, who has always been known for his insidiousness and cunning, never give up until he reaches his goal, become so talkative?

Zheng Yiwei didn't believe it.

"If I refuse to act, what price will I have to pay?" He asked a little nervously, "I won't let me play the next movie at seven or three times, right?"

"No need." Bai Zhiling smiled slightly, "You can negotiate with your old classmates yourself."

"What old classmate?" Zheng Yiwei had a bad feeling.

"Lu Ren."

Zheng Yiwei's eyes widened in astonishment, pointing to the script he threw on the ground, "He directed this film?"

"uh-huh."

"Didn't the bastard go to Hollywood?"

"He was nominated for an Oscar for Best Director last year, and now he's back to make money while he's popular."

"..."

Zheng Yiwei and Lu Ren are in the same class. Zheng Yiwei majored in acting, and Lu Ren majored in directing. The two classes sometimes take public classes together. Lu Ren has a bad temper. There was an empty bed in Yiwei's dormitory, and he moved here by himself without saying hello. For some reason, the three people in Zheng Yiwei's dormitory got along well with him, and the four spent four years in harmony under one roof.

After graduation, the two ordinary roommates gave up their star dreams and went into business. Only Zheng Yiwei and Lu Ren entered the entertainment industry.One of the two is busy acting, the other is busy making movies, and they rarely see each other.Lu Ren was not as smooth sailing as Zheng Yiwei. He encountered many setbacks at the beginning as a director. He had a strong self-esteem and didn’t want to use Zheng Yiwei’s reputation to hype himself. He subconsciously distanced himself from Zheng Yiwei until he gradually With fame, the two resumed diplomatic relations.

Zheng Yiwei knows Lu Ren very well. Once he decides to do something, he will do it no matter what difficulties he encounters.And Lu Ren also knows him very well, and knows all his weaknesses.

Therefore, when he heard that the director was him, Zheng Yiwei had no hope of refusing to act.

"What did he tell you?" He asked Bai Zhiling dejectedly.

Bai Zhiling blinked and smiled gloatingly, "He said, if you dare to refuse to act, you can post the video of you masturbating in the dormitory when you were in college on the Internet."

"Ah, that bastard, when did he take pictures of that kind of thing—"

After running wildly in the president's office for a few minutes, Zheng Yiwei looked at Bai Zhiling resentfully and asked, "Who is the heroine?"

"Ah, let me see, the actresses who have been confirmed to play include Leng Yiling, Lu Jiaxin, Yi Jing, Chen Xiao, and Lan Kelin... But they are all supporting actresses..."

Zheng Yiwei was very surprised. Leng Yiling and Lu Jiaxin are the two most expensive popular actresses in the industry, but they are not leading actresses?

"Could it be that some retired actress came back to play with me?" He guessed.

Bai Zhiling shook his head, "NONONO, it's not an actress who has a lot of scenes with you, but an actor... Uh, the plot of this movie is more complicated. There are concubine fights, war dramas, and a large part of it. The relationship between the Yu Wang Yuxiu you played and the rival Guoming Wang Mingche is quite ambiguous, the two are sworn enemies, confidants, and admire each other..."

The corner of Zheng Yiwei's mouth twitched, "Did Lu Ren write the book himself? That lunatic is really perverted! That is to say, I am not the only male lead, and I still have to flirt with a man in the movie?!"

"Don't worry, there is only a light kissing scene, not an intense one."

"Judging from your tone, you seem to be very sorry?" Zheng Yiwei glared angrily at Bai Zhiling who was trying so hard to hold back his laughter.

Bai Zhiling quickly lowered his head and pretended to be reading the script seriously.

"Okay, tell me now, who is that poor kid who wants to kiss my MOUTHTOMOUTH." Zheng Yiwei had a tragic expression on his face that was about to die.

"Diving feathers."

Zheng Yiwei picked out his ears with his fingers, "Who? Say it again."

Bai Zhiling pursed her lips and smiled, "Qian Yu."

"That potential feather?" Zheng Yiwei couldn't believe it.

"uh-huh."

"That damned 20-year-old actor who won the golden unicorn surpassed Lao Tzu's limelight, and was listed as the four heavenly kings together with Lao Tzu, Ge Rui, and Qu Fang. His skin was as white as a ghost, and he only knew about dead houses every day except filming. Legend has it that He has to wash his hands twenty times a day, bring his own tableware when eating, and no one is allowed to touch his finger without his consent. His cleanliness is so outrageous...#!#%@The alien dives into feathers?"

"Yes, it's him."

"Damn—I'm guilty of Tai Sui this year——"
