Seemingly sensing Rong Jing's doubts, Liu Zheng sent over the previously signed contract.

"Tianshilu" performed very well in ratings, but relatively, it also invested heavily in filming in the early stage.

Originally, this drama was exclusively invested by Ruiming Entertainment, but later, considering the financial risk, they joined the Xie Group as the main investor.

And in the contract between the film crew and Xie's that Liu Zheng sent over, there was such an additional condition that 100 million of the investment was placed in Rong Jing's name.

At this moment, the TV station's first broadcast rights, various advertising expenses, and webcasting rights were settled one after another, and the profits were transferred to Rong Jing's account according to this investment ratio.

Rong Tianshi:.

Rong Tianshi: Understood

Rong Jing is usually indifferent, but she is not brainless. Now that she saw the contract sent by Liu Zheng, she knew what was going on.

After calmly replying, Rong Jing exited the chat page, and her clear eyes fell on the name of a contact person a little below.

Pointing her index finger on it, Rong Jing suddenly remembered the words Long Tianshi said to him on the special plane.

friend……

Rong Jing muttered this word in her heart, and frowned unconsciously.

Is it not?

The relationship between him and Xie Chong in the previous life was nothing more than this, and Xie Chong has always regarded him as a close friend.

Although he shouldn't be 100% sure of Xie Xuanqing's identity in this life, the more the Heavenly Dao obstructs him, the more obvious the fact will be.

It was probably because of this thought that his attitude towards Xie Xuanqing inevitably contained a hint of the connivance he once had towards Xie Chong.

After all, he is a man, not a god.

Even though she has a cold temperament, once she came to such an unfamiliar later life, when she met the reincarnation of an old friend who was almost the most familiar in her previous life, Rong Jing would inevitably be a little biased emotionally.

But, what about Xie Xuanqing?

Even though he is the reincarnation of Xie Chong, he has no memory of his previous life, Rong Jing can only be said to be a stranger to the current Xie Xuanqing at first.

However, Xie Xuanqing's current performance...Rong Jing was inexplicably agitated.

Is it because his cultivation is better than other celestial masters?

Or is there some other reason he doesn't know?

Rong Guoshi never likes to speculate on people's hearts, but at this moment, he thought about the intention of Xie Xuanqing's actions.

But after thinking about it, Rong Jing still felt that apart from his cultivation, there seemed to be nothing else for Xie Xuanqing to plot.

Whether it is money or power, with Xie Xuanqing's status, almost everything is at his fingertips.

What he can't ask for is "consummation".

It seems that Tiandao deliberately gave him a status that everyone envied, and then deprived him of the family love that everyone can enjoy.

Even if Rong Jing is willing to change his fate, but they are intertwined, if he wants to change his weak kinship, he must first replace his parents' fate of early death——

Don't say that metaphysics can't bring the dead back to life. Even if it can, the physical bodies of Xie's parents have already been turned into a handful of ashes. Could it be that Xie Xuanqing still wants him to send his parents' soul body to someone else's body to be reborn?

The more Rong Jing thought about it, the more she couldn't help frowning, she tapped her fingertips on the chat interface, and sent Xie Xuanqing a message.

Rong Jing: Do you want me to change your life for you?

Patriarch Xie who happened to see this message: "?"

He also sent a "?" subconsciously.

Xie Xuanqing:?

Xie Xuanqing: What does Mr. Rong mean by this?

Rong Jing: "..."

He sent a screenshot of the more than 200 million incoming messages from the crew today.

Xie Xuan lowered his eyes lightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Xie Xuanqing: Wasn't Mr. Rong participating in this movie at the time?

Xie Xuanqing: Just before signing the contract, my husband helped me solve the problem on the Northwest River Bridge, so I asked the crew to add this clause

Xie Xuanqing: It is part of the reward

Xie Xuanqing: Sir, why do you suddenly feel that I want to ask you to change my life?

Xie Xuanqing is not unclear about his fate.

But to put it bluntly, it means that his relatives are weak, otherwise Xie Xuanqing will be angry if he adds a few more relatives like Uncle Xie.

As for the "can't ask for it" mentioned by the masters...

Xie Xuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he thought, what if he insisted on forcing it?

——Didn't the masters often say that fate is uncertain?

Rong Jing looked at Xie Xuanqing's reply, and for a moment: "..."

Oh, not to change your life.

...what is that for?

Rong Guoshi was rarely at a loss, lowered his eyes, and he still replied.

Rong Jing: ... Nothing.

It's just that I don't understand what Xie Xuanqing's actions are for.

His attitude was really strange, Xie Xuanqing seemed to be aware of something vaguely.My heart skipped a beat.

Xie Xuanqing: Don't think too much, sir.

Xie Xuanqing: Aren't we friends?

Xie Xuanqing: [Cat Probe.gif]

Rong Jing: ... Hmm.

But something still feels wrong.

Rong Jing frowned, but this time she kept this weird feeling in her heart.

After sending the request for the audition, the crew of "Poppy Flower" replied quickly.

Xun Hao informed Rong Jing again of the time and place sent by the other party, and when the day of the audition came, he came over to pick Rong Jing up in person.

Because the director is a fledgling newcomer, the investment he can get is not much, even the script was bought from an old friend of his by virtue of his relationship, and the other conditions are naturally not good.

When Rong Jing and Xun Hao went to the audition, they couldn't help frowning for a moment.

This place really looks...it doesn't seem like a place that people in the circle would choose.

In some old communities, although the residential buildings have just been refurbished, the cracks left on the edge are still vivid.

The dry weeds lie on the ground, and the surroundings are all gray.

The only thing worthy of praise is that the general Feng Shui of this community is not bad.

Although the geomantic omen of this place has shifted somewhat due to the relatively long time of construction, it still has a certain promoting effect on people's physical and mental careers in general.

Frowning slightly, Rong Jing looked at Xun Hao who was leading the way.

Unlike Rong Jing, Xun Hao has spent more time in the industry and has seen more scenes.Not to mention auditioning in this kind of residential building, there are also crews that are so poor that they can only shoot in People's Park.

So Xun Hao's expression didn't change much at the moment, and he continued to walk into the community following the address sent by the crew.

Walking all the way to the last residential building, Xun Hao knocked on the door of one of the houses on the third floor.

After a few minutes, the door opened with a "creak".

A young man with a flat head and a height of nearly 1.9 meters poked his head out from the inside. When he saw Xun Hao and Rong Jing himself standing behind him, a pleasant smile appeared on his face, and he shouted inside: "Mr. Teacher Yourong is here."

He hastily moved away, obviously with a wild and rough appearance, but when facing Xun Hao and Rong Jing, he had a trace of apology on his face: "The camera suddenly had a problem just now, and I didn't have time to greet the two of you." ,I'm so sorry."

Rong Jing: "..."

There are even problems with the camera, can this crew really do it?

There was not only a young man with a flat head in the house. Hearing the movement here, a young man in a black T-shirt with a pale face poked his head out from a room.

He looked a little weak, but his appearance was delicate. At first glance, he had a gentle and bookish air.

"Hello." Unlike the other people's respectful attitude when facing Rong Jing, the young man came out of the room, greeted them politely, and then introduced himself, "I am Cheng Yuan, the screenwriter of "Poppy Flower". "

As he said that, he nodded, looked at the young man with a short hair who went to open the door, and said, "He is the director, Sang Lianyun."

The young man with a flat head whose name was being read was holding a tray with a few disposable cups on it. Hearing this, he raised his head, smiled at Rongjing and the others, and then said, "Mr. Xun, Mr. Rong, drink tea." .”

He really doesn't look like a director, but more like a big brother in the mixed society.If you have to say it, the Cheng Yuan who spoke before looked more like a director than him.

Sang Lianyun also seemed to know that his appearance did not give people a sense of trust. After putting down the tea, he scratched his head and retreated.

To be honest, he didn't expect that Rong Jing would actually come to audition.

Looking at the empty furnishings in the house, Sang Lianyun suddenly felt a little worried——

If Rong Jing had considered auditioning to take over the role of doctor before, now seeing the current financial situation of their crew...

Should I regret it too?

After all, the rumors say that Teacher Rong is a celestial master——

Heavenly Master, no matter how bad the conditions are, they probably can't bear the situation of their crew.

Cheng Yuan was more optimistic than Sang Lianyun.

The fact that their crew was poor was not hidden from Xun Hao and Rong Jing from the very beginning. Since the other party is willing to come to audition under such circumstances, it shows that they really value the script itself, as long as Sang Lianyun's director ability does not suddenly pull his hips , maybe the other party will really take over the play.

Of course, the premise is that Rong Jing's acting skills are really as good as in "The Record of the Heavenly Master"—or, in other words, not so bad that she can't do it.

Otherwise, Sang Lianyun's elm head would probably rather offend Rong Jing himself than just sign the contract and start filming.

Sighing inwardly, Cheng Yuan took a few steps forward and handed slightly hot tea to Rong Jing and Xun Hao: "Please sit down, both of you."

There are only some shooting equipment and two sofas in the empty living room.

Rong Jing and Xun Hao sat down on a sofa and took a sip of tea.

The taste is a bit astringent, but not unpalatable.

Sang Lianyun and Cheng Yuan also sat down on another sofa.

"Mr. Rong should have read the script before." Cheng Yuan said, "I don't know what Mr. Rong thinks about the role of Qiao Wangzhi?"

Qiao Wangzhi is the name used by the ghost in the world in "Poppy".Cheng Yuan's question was obviously testing Rong Jing's ability to understand the script.

He didn't know why Sang Lianyun felt that Rong Jing would be suitable for the role of Qiao Wangzhi after he got the script.

But as the screenwriter, as well as Sang Lianyun's... friend, he must ensure that Rong Jing is indeed capable of controlling the role of Qiao Wangzhi.

Cheng Yuan knew that his tone was not polite, but he pursed his lips and quietly looked at the extremely delicate and beautiful young man in front of him, but unexpectedly heard the other party's light but not perfunctory answer.

"It's interesting."

His previous and current experience as a celestial master gave Rong Jing a lot of references and comparisons when he wrote the script.

Compared with the ghosts Rong Jing had encountered before, Qiao Wangzhi was undoubtedly smarter and cunning.

But at the same time, it retains the greed and viciousness that belong to evil spirits.

From a certain point of view, when ghosts degenerate into ghosts, they have little to do with creatures like "humans", and their way of thinking will also undergo earth-shaking changes.

And Cheng Yuan's writing captures the characteristics of Li Gui in such a fine and real way that the entire script page is filled with a faint and cold taste.

This smell has nothing to do with anything else, it's just the condensed air of the surrounding Yin along with the shallow aura conveyed in the script, and it won't have much influence on ordinary people.

In fact, if you read the script for the first time, you will feel that the screenwriter actually prefers the role of Qiao Wangzhi.Even though it is greedy and cruel, the whole script hides these qualities perfectly under the beautiful skin.

It has indeed worked extremely hard to learn the principles of dealing with things in the world, and it has never stopped pursuing medical skills.

In the face of manic or collapsed patients, he is more considerate and gentlemanly than ordinary doctors, and behaves more easily.

If it weren't for the reporter's unannounced visits step by step, and the protagonist's risky sneaking into it, no one would have thought that such a doctor with noble medical ethics and rejuvenation is actually a ghost——

This shows how positive the description of Qiao Wangzhi is in the whole script.

But at the end of the plot, when it was revealed that Qiao Wangzhi himself was actually a thousand-year-old ghost, and what he did was only to suck the vitality of flesh and blood, this kind of positiveness showed a kind of falsehood instead, which made the ghost's cold terror light and profound. Reflected out.

The more deliberate the front, the more shocking the reverse will be.

The arrangement of the whole script is actually very old-fashioned, but the screenwriter is hard enough, so the emotions conveyed are also extremely strong.

Rong Jing slowly expressed her feelings for the role of "Qiao Wangzhi".

As his words fell, the eyes of Sang Lianyun, who was sitting beside Cheng Yuan, became brighter and brighter.

That's right, that's how it feels!

He is indeed the actor he picked at a glance, and his understanding of the role is indeed in place.

But being able to understand a character doesn't necessarily mean being able to perform what the character should feel like.

After Sang Lianyun's heart fluttered for a while, he quickly suppressed his mood and subconsciously turned his head to look at Cheng Yuan.

But Cheng Yuan didn't respond to his gaze.On the contrary, he continued to look at Rong Jing quietly, and after a while, he seemed to come back to his senses: "Mr. Rong's statement is also very interesting."

The other party's gaze was clear and penetrating, like a bay of lake water, reflecting all his inner thoughts.

Cheng Yuan subconsciously wanted to avoid it at first, but after a second pause, he chose to look directly at Rong Jing.

Rumor has it that this Teacher Rong is a celestial master, so how would he feel when they invited him to play a ghost... what kind of mood would he have?

Cheng Yuan raised his eyes to see something in Rong Jing's eyes, but the other party's expression was very indifferent, he took a few glances and then looked away.

Xun Hao vaguely felt that the screenwriter's mood was not right, but he glanced at Rong Jing who looked calm, and he still didn't say anything.

Sang Lianyun: "I also think Teacher Rong's interpretation of the script and characters is quite good, but understanding is one thing, and acting is another. If you don't mind... Teacher Rong, let's try a play?"

Sang Lianyun felt a little nervous when he said this.

But this movie is his first project after graduation, and the script has been written by Cheng Yuan for so long. No matter what, he still wants to complete this shooting as perfect as possible.

If Rong Jing's performance really didn't suit Qiao Wangzhi's role, then it would be regarded as offending this teacher Rong, and he would have to grit his teeth and change someone else.

Fortunately, Rong Jing didn't mind this.

On the contrary, he was indeed interested in this script and even Qiao Wangzhi's character, but if Sang Lianyun's directing ability is a mess, then no matter how good the script is, it will only be filmed as something completely different in the end.

The idea between the two could be said to hit it off.just audition...

Rong Jing raised her eyes and glanced lightly at the whole house.

There were only a few of them in the empty living room, and the photography and even the scene affairs hadn't been settled yet.

...I feel that this crew is really not very reliable.

Cheng Yuan also felt that his crew was not very reliable, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his pale face, and finally got up to help Sang Lianyun, who was already rushing to get the camera, to set up the scene.

Although the house is a bit old, the living room is large enough, and there are not many things in it. It seems like that after tidying it up.

They are going to audition, not ordinary audition, so Sang Lianyun needs to have enough control ability when changing the camera.

"Click." It was the light sound of the signature pen being placed on the table.

Rong Jing was wearing a white shirt with two buttons slightly undone at the neckline, and a black wool coat outside.

At first glance, he looks more like a white-collar employee than a doctor.

But when he looked at the camera with a smile, the light look in his eyes quietly melted away, and the amber eyes seemed to be filled with a river of spring water, rippling with a smile.

Sang Lianyun subconsciously felt a little nervous, then quickly stabilized the camera, and slowly focused on Rong Jing's face.

"Ms. Lin, please don't be nervous." The doctor's tone gently comforted the panic-stricken woman in front of her. The doctor's tone seemed to have a hook, attracting her attention all at once.

"We're not treating a disease, we're just talking." The smile in Qiao Wangzhi's eyes deepened, and he looked into Ms. Lin's eyes quietly as if affectionate and friendly, "So, you don't have to be afraid that someone will suddenly hurt you." to you."

"Yes, is that so?" Cheng Yuan temporarily replaced the role of Ms. Lin, reading according to the plot in the script.

He is not a professional actor, so naturally he cannot adjust his emotions and tone to the most appropriate level at this time.

If Rong Jing's acting skills are not proficient enough, or if she is easily affected by the state of the object of the scene, the next scene may not be able to last.

But unexpectedly, Rong Jing's expression remained steady.

It seemed that the person sitting in front of him was indeed a terrified lady, rather than a pale and delicate man.

"Of course." He leaned forward slightly, closing the distance between himself and the patient.

Those amber eyes looked more and more warm and intoxicating like sunshine from a close distance, "Does Ms. Lin think that I will hurt you?"

Cheng Yuan and him looked at each other, and he was brought into the play for a moment, and blurted out: "Of course not!"

When Rong Jing—or Qiao Wangzhi heard the words, a strange look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

During this process, Sang Lianyun has been paying attention to the changes on the field, and the camera in his hand is also changing with the emotional confrontation and game between "Qiao Wangzhi" and "Ms. Lin", which is transmitted to the monitor The picture, without editing, already has a somewhat rudimentary shape of the story.

Xun Hao has also accompanied artists and groups before, and has seen the shooting techniques of those big directors.

In his opinion, Sang Lianyun's shooting technique is still a bit jerky, but in the expression of the picture language, there is an aura that only a newborn calf can have.

And the expression of this aura reflected in the shooting is that he took the gentle and harmless mask of Li Gui as a psychiatrist extremely perfectly, but in the perfection, there is a trace of indescribable falseness—— —

Perhaps there is also the reason why Rong Jing's acting skills are online. In Xun Hao's opinion, this scene is not inferior to the movies directed by some big directors!

Of course, as a director, it is not enough just to have good-looking pictures. He also needs to have a good understanding of the desired feeling of the whole film, and make a choice between the picture and the plot while considering the core of the whole film to be expressed.

It's just that these can only be seen more after the official filming starts. So far, the abilities shown by Sang Lianyun are still online.

Rong Jing also watched this clip carefully.

Cheng Yuan is really divided inside, but the overall picture shows a strange harmony.

Obviously, Sang Lianyun used his camera to cover up Cheng Yuan's stiffness and inadequacy more.

From this alone, Rong Jing had a little evaluation of Sang Lianyun's ability.

Plus...he glanced at Sang Lianyun's face.

Although I was lonely in my previous life, I was accompanied by true love. If I encountered an opportunity, I might not be able to leap from a fish to a dragon.

Although his appearance is ferocious, but upon closer inspection, his eyes are clear and innocent, and he has never been involved in any serious evil.

Rong Jing lowered her eyes and lightly touched the table with her fingertips.

"How does Director Sang feel?"

He didn't address Sang Lianyun when he entered the door, but now he called him Director Sang, obviously expressing his willingness to cooperate.

Although Sang Lianyun has a dull personality, how can he not react when encountering such a good thing!

Immediately replied: "Mr. Rong's acting skills are improving rapidly, if you don't dislike... Shall we make an appointment to sign a contract?"

As he said that, his voice lowered a little: "It's just that the crew's current funds are not sufficient. In terms of remuneration, it may not be possible to give you a satisfactory price for Mr. Rong."

That's right, everything else is imaginary, but poverty is a real big problem!

Standing beside Sang Lianyun, Cheng Yuan sighed inwardly, but he couldn't say what Sang Lianyun said was wrong.

Instead of waiting until Rong Jing knew about it and regretted it before signing the contract, it would be better to show her trump card clearly early in the morning.

If it is suitable, everyone will be happy, and if it is not suitable, there is no need to force it.

It's just that in the process of playing with Rong Jing just now, he understood why Sang Lianyun wanted Rong Jing to join the crew after seeing Rong Jing's performance in "Tian Shi Lu".

Really... his eyes are so attractive.

Obviously, he could feel that going one step further would lead to an eternal abyss, but under the gaze of those extremely beautiful eyes, Cheng Yuan couldn't think of that much at the time, and his eyes were filled with the determination of "he will definitely not hurt me".

Like something magical.

"Funds are probably not a problem." The production team is indeed a bit poor, but don't forget that Rong Jing just received a call from "Tian Shi Lu" of more than 200 million a few days ago. In addition to his previous savings, it is enough to keep the money going. The crew's financial dilemma was resolved.

But it seems a little bad for him to bear this investment alone, and Rong Jing could vaguely feel that the final result of this film might be good, so she frowned slightly, but was hesitating...

Do you want to ask Xie Xuanqing?

The previous point was also floating in her mind, Rong Jing suppressed this idea for the time being, and only said that she could invest a part of it.

Sang Lianyun was overjoyed, even Cheng Yuan's face was radiated with surprise, and he hurriedly poured another cup of hot tea for Rong Jing.

Rong Jing: "...you don't have to be so polite."

The amount of investment is not something that can be discussed in a short period of time. Sang Lianyun himself has added contact information with Xun Hao, and now he also added a WeChat with Rong Jing, and will discuss it slowly when he has time.

After sending Rong Jing all the way to the gate of the community, Sang Lianyun and Cheng Yuan turned back reluctantly.

Rong Jing sat in the car, quietly watching their leaving figures, and frowned suspiciously.

Sang Lianyun and Cheng Yuan's faces are mostly upright, their auras are also similar, and they complement and help each other.

But the strange thing is that both of them have no sons and no daughters, and they are destined to have no children or grandchildren.

If they hadn't committed some great evil, few people in the world would have such a fate, but the strange thing is that they don't have the aura of guilt, that is to say, this is not the punishment of heaven.

That is……

Xun Hao drove the car, and said casually: "I said such a good script, why didn't the screenwriter vote for those big teams, but handed it over to such a small crew. It turns out that these two are a couple..."

Rong Guoshi, who didn't live very long in his previous life, lived to reverse the way of heaven, and was really not very enlightened about some things: "?"

Seemingly aware of Rong Jing's slightly shocked eyes in doubt, Xun Hao paused for a moment: "Master Rong Tian, ​​didn't you see it?"

"..." Rong Tianshi was silent.

Xun Hao suddenly felt that he had spoiled Rong Jing, but he had been in the entertainment circle for a few years, so he should know that there are a lot of people in this circle who are not taboo about meat and vegetables, right?

Suppressing the inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart, Xun Hao finally said vaguely: "Master Rong Tian, ​​​​you didn't see it for a while, and it's true that these two people probably didn't talk about it...don't think too much."

Xun Hao himself vaguely felt that the relationship between Sang Lianyun and Cheng Yuan was wrong because he had seen a lot of them. Other people might not be able to detect it so keenly.

Rong Jing: "..."

He probably knew why these two people were clearly Zhongzheng and peaceful, but they showed the appearance of cutting off children and grandchildren.

After being surprised for a moment, Rong Guoshi quickly accepted Xun Hao's statement.

It's just that he looked at the scenery outside the window, but there were some indescribable emotions in his heart.

Until a "ding" sound, the phone screen lights up.

Rong Jing paused unconsciously when she opened WeChat, and then saw the name of the person who sent the message.

Zhou Songyun: Master Rong, are you free today?

Zhou Songyun: Is it convenient to meet up?
