Words can lie, but actions are always honest.

At the beginning of "Night", although Xu Rong and Jin Fangfang were both optimistic on the surface, they were essentially just cheering each other up.

Even though CCTV's Golden Channel is full of people who cannot show any waves.

Since "New Shanghai Bund" in the middle of last year, Xu Rong has not been starring in the works for more than a year. This is common for a first-line actor, because the transformation of overnight popularity requires a process.

It is precisely because it is common that there will be an alternation between the old and the new.

Both Xu Rong and Jin Fangfang understand the importance of "Night" ratings and the nature of this industry determine that it is not rare to become popular overnight, but most of the follow-ups proved that they were just a flash in the pan. After becoming popular, due to the sky-high price of films like a moth to the flames, the quality of the works has been declining, and the number of characters has become less and less, and eventually no one cares about them.

Before "Night" was released, Jin Fangfang had even contacted multiple film and television critics and several batches of navy troops, and was ready to drown the bad reviews.

Like most companies in this industry, Hairun does not have the ability to delete bad reviews. So the best way to deal with those comments that are not very friendly to Xu Rong is to a certain proportion.

It doesn't require too much, it only requires a certain degree of guidance.

Following the crowd is a general mentality. Just like Samsung, which was hit on the market a few years ago, Nokia's waveguide could not raise its head. When positive reviews appear frequently enough, even if there are indeed problems with quality, some people who are doubtful will turn into half-believing and half-doubting.

In essence, it is consistent with the person who makes mistakes for half a month and requires copying day and night.

Finally, the instinct of knowing hot when you see fire.

But the facts prove that pre-preparation is unnecessary.

With "Night", Xu Rong's net worth directly ranked among the top top.

Before the release of "The Legend of the Confused" by Jin Fangfang was also prepared similarly. "Night" has not been popular enough, and Xu Rong has the ability to resist risks, but when he can go to a high place, why flow to a low place?

Looking at the more than 40 media outlets attending the press conference, Jin Fangfang sighed silently. Whether it is the criticism or praise of film and television critics online, a large part of them can be made by artificially, but there are only two things that cannot be done.

Real money and the attitude of others.

Just like Xu Rong has now risen to a high price of 120,000 yuan per episode, and more than 40 media outlets who have been present today.

When she was introducing it later, she noticed a detail. Haiqing made an inappropriate joke. Xu Rong did not answer her words, and Haiqing immediately chose to apologize.

As the director Liu Jiang and the producer Luo Liping did not find any surprise or even took it for granted.

A very subtle detail.

Haiqing debuted two years earlier than Xu Rong, and was still his senior sister. However, the mainland film and television industry emphasizes not seniority. If you sit down in a circle, who will be hit on the stool first, it will not be the time when you debut.

These small behaviors are not considered big things. As the person involved, Xu Rong did not notice it clearly, but as a bystander, she could see it clearly.

As for the controversy that Xu Rong's speech would bring, she didn't care. It was exactly in line with the plan she had formulated at the time, and she did not intend to make him a perfect image.

Because he is alone, he is not perfect and cannot be perfect. Just like when he was in the Magic City, he always went to bars and nightclubs before, she only asked about the specific situation and did not interfere at all.

Besides, fame will inevitably lead to controversy. Which one is more talkative and topical to the audience is to spit on the ground or an 18th-tier artist cheat.

Next, we need to revisit the plan.

After the press conference, Xu Rong said goodbye to a group of fans, greeted Jin Fangfang, and quietly touched her hometown to celebrate the New Year like a thief.

On the plane, he carefully sorted out the plan and designed a set of interlocking words.

How to persuade the elderly to go to the capital?

However, the subsequent development of the matter exceeded his expectations.

Of course, the old man who was looking for the reason could not refuse.

Look at the kids!

Of course, when he persuaded him, he mentioned that he would go first and get familiar with the environment.

Although the old man's legs and feet are not very convenient, he has been here for a lifetime and has never made great efforts. When he was in the mine, he became the captain in less than two years because of his huge advantage in literacy. Therefore, although he is old now, his body is still quite strong.

The topic was mentioned by Xu Rong when he was building a chicken coop at home after the New Year and the second day of the Lunar New Year.

It won’t be okay if you don’t mention it. Since he entered the house, the old man has urged him to build a chicken coop for the third time, saying that it is easy to raise a few chickens and lay eggs to eat.

This is almost obvious to tell me not to go to the capital, otherwise what would you do if you build a chicken coop?

After hearing Xu Rong's words, the old man lowered his gray eyebrows and smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when you have a baby."

Xu Rong picked up a brick, put it on the cement ash, put it on, knocked it with a tile knife twice, raised the sleeve of his arm, and then wiped it into the corner of his eyes.

It's time to use the killer move!

Nowadays, most young people in rural areas go out to work, and some widowed elderly people are sick at home and lying in bed, and no one knows at all.

Whenever he thought of this possibility, his heart was trembling.

When the old man saw him wipe the corners of his eyes with his cuffs, he laughed twice and asked, "Boy, do you hate your father and mother?"

Xu Rong's action of shoveling cement suddenly paused. He didn't turn his head to look at the old man. He just smeared the cement on the brick as usual, straightened it out, knocked it twice, raised his head and asked, "Have they found it?"

The old man's face was covered with time-washing gullies, and he said with emotion: "I'm old now. I just said I'll show you the child, but I probably can't bear to see it. If you don't say it's far away, I'm so tired when you were young. How could you say your child?"

Seeing Xu Rong silently building the wall, the old man paused again and said, "You have five brothers and one sister above you, so the eldest brother got married."

"Your sister changed her dear."

Xu Rong took a breath gently, but still didn't look at the old man. After waiting for a long time, he asked, "How much do you want?"

"Say, it's a million."

Xu Rong raised his eyebrows lightly, turned his head, looked at the old man, and asked, "Build five buildings?"

"Well, this is different from before. Now, when we get married, we will build a building, and the bride price will be 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, otherwise the wife will not enter the door at all."

Xu Rong didn't think much, so he slowly nodded a few times and said, "Okay, come back, you can give it to them for me."

The old man looked at him and asked, "Don't you go back and take a look, and hand over the money?"

"There are six sisters who have been to the elderly and see them off, and I'm not alone."

Xu Rong knew that grandpa understood what he meant. The meaning of giving the money was different from that of the old man. If he gave it, he recognized his parents.

The old man gave it to him, but he just stopped thinking.

When the second grandfather and his family were invited, he had actually expected the situation today. For the villagers, the grandfather, who was a single old man, had no need to inquire about the same thing as the ones who could pick up a child in the village.

I probably understand which one throws it away.

He was quite conflicted about this, and he was looking forward to finding it, but he also hoped that he would never find it.

But after hearing what grandpa said, he felt a little uncomfortable.

It’s not that he has a prejudice against the abandonment of the past, just like what he once said to Yi Li in the past, he can understand that abandoning him can make his parents live a better life.

And judging from the current situation, he survived and lived a good life, so there was nothing to be resentful about.

The information he cared about was hidden behind the few words of the old man.

He is twenty-two years older than him, and his oldest brother must be at least twenty-eight years old.

In the countryside, if you are twenty-four or five years old and have not gotten married, you can basically be called a bachelor.

Although the bride price is a bit heavy in the remote rural areas, if you are not picky and not picky, as long as you build a two-story building, there will always be no big problem with marrying a wife.

But this is not the case.

What a good guy, six strong laborers, but a house has not been built. If you marry a wife, you have to exchange your sister for your sister?

It is common to push the things like changing brides for a few years. It is not easy to say that some people have daughters in order to change brides, so they need some respect. Three families change brides. A daughter married B's son, B's daughter is a daughter-in-law for C's son, and C's daughter married A's son again.

After changing, there must be a pair of people who are about to make do with each other, just right, not many.

It's shameless, so the two companies simply exchanged.

But now it's no longer fashionable to do this.

Disgraceful.

Even if the five brothers go out to work on the construction site, they will definitely be able to get a house a year. To put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of lazy laziness.

Not to mention that he could fill in one million, even if he threw in ten million, he would not be able to fill this hole.

The old man sighed and advised, "That's your own father and mother after all."

Xu Rong wanted to smile, but she couldn't laugh. After thinking for a while, she said, "I will support them when they get older."

"In addition, you also make clear what you said to them, don't ask for it anymore, just that, no more."

Now, he is somewhat aware of human nature. Being able to come to the elderly to ask for money means that he really doesn't care about his face.

Between relatives, regardless of their face, are more helpless and powerless than strangers.

Besides, once this hole is opened, the follow-up will inevitably be inevitable, but not to mention that there is no brotherhood, even if there is one, he cannot give it to you for no reason.

That's not for the sake of others, it's harming others.

That sister was suffering.

Seeing that he seemed to have made up his mind, the old man was not willing to persuade him again. He also understood that Xu Rong's approach was to be a kind and righteous person. He was given money and was responsible for supporting him when he was old. He didn't know what to say anymore, and asked, "I read the news and said, "You have a conflict with others outside?"

"What conflicts are there? Everyone is for their own. He promotes his plays. I promote my plays. It's that simple." Xu Rong smiled and said, "This is the industry. If you can't see the sweetness, no one will make enemies with others for no reason."

When the old man saw him reaching the corner, he handed him a half brick and said, "When you turn around and mess with others, you have to follow the rules. Don't do those tricks that are not on the table, otherwise no one dares to work with you in the future. Besides, there is a whole family behind you, and you have to leave a way out for others."

Xu Rong turned his head, looked at the old man with a smile, and said, "Master, that's not what you told me before."
