Chapter 18 The Monk(1/2)

As time went by, Xu Rong found that he was wrong again, and how wrong he was.

When "Bright Sword" was not aired, he asserted that the drama would not be popular.

After "Bright Sword" became popular, he looked ahead as boldly as possible and made the conclusion that it would only be popular for a while.

Halfway through the round, he realized that his previous estimate was too conservative.

The deepest feeling is that there is not enough time.

At least three days a week, he has to follow director Chen Jian or Zhang Guangbei everywhere to promote the second and third rounds and participate in various activities.

In the remaining four days, he has to spare one or two days because there are still many interviews with TV stations, magazines, and newspapers.

At the same time, there was an influx of praise from TV, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet of all kinds and from various angles.

About how excellent the script and plot are.

About how wonderful the actors performed.

About how difficult the filming process was.

In all aspects, even an extra performer can be invited to write an article and praise it for a long time.

As one of the important supporting characters, the monk has naturally received a lot of attention and praise. Because of the tragic ending, he has certainly gained a lot of sympathy.

As for Li Youbin, Xu Rong didn't see anyone at all.

"In this month, I have made as much money as I have spent in the last half of my life."

This is what Li Youbin said helplessly during a phone call. He only takes two to three hours of rest every day. In addition to dealing with various media, he also has to participate in various business, charity and certain activities that he has to participate in.

Once entering the arena, you can't help yourself. This is Xu Rong's most profound experience.

He wants to go back to school, study hard and study.

This was an idea that suddenly came to him at a certain moment when he was looking for comments praising himself on the Internet, because all the comments, from beginning to end, were all about the monk, and never mentioned how Xu Rong was.

And since the thought was born, it has grown vigorously.

Yes, "Bright Sword" was so popular that the management made a lot of money, and Li Youbin also made money that he had not made in half his life, but what about himself?

Every day, I can only talk about some trivial things that happened on the set, like an Alzheimer's chatter, repeated over and over again on different or similar occasions.

Applause, flowers, and one of the dozens of comments praising the monk, but what else?

Nothing.

He wanted to go back, but the management, crew, and agency all told him explicitly or implicitly that he couldn't do that.

But he has realized more and more clearly that the red one is the play and the purple one is Li Youbin. He is just a small puzzle piece of the play and the green leaves beside Li Youbin.

And such a waste of time is irresponsible to oneself.

He hopes that people who notice him should have already noticed him, and for the rest who haven't noticed, even if he walks in front of them eight times, it won't make much difference.

In late October, he returned to school. In the past half month, he basically ran for most of the provincial satellite TV.

He shied away from the rest of the less important publicity on the grounds of study.

"In this month, I have made as much money as I have spent in the last half of my life."

This sentence always lingered in his mind.

In the past, Xu Rong didn't know how much money an actor could earn if he became famous, but now he knows.

Moreover, Li Youbin himself told him simply and directly how to make so much money.

A+ overall rating.

Once this prerequisite is met, the rest is much simpler, etc.

Wait for the wind to come and skyrocket.

After returning to school, Xu Rong once again returned to a monotonous, fulfilling and interesting life filled with a sense of gain.

The only thing I'm not happy about is that the teacher at the school is not very dedicated, and he just wants to ask a question. When I see him again, he always runs very fast.

And more than one, all the teachers in the college seemed to know who he was, Xu Rong.

At first, he thought it was because of his fame, but it was wrong to think about it. Even if he became famous like Li Youbin, there was no need for the teacher to hide from him, right?

Because every time I met a teacher and he greeted me with a smile on his face, the teachers always looked anxious, lest he come up to talk to me.

Until his roommate told him about the "Death Note" rumors.

Classmate Xu’s “Death Note”, also known as “Death Note”.

In just a few short months, this rumor spread quietly in the school.

For students, it is just an interesting story, but for lecturers and professors in the performance department, their expressions change.

Because classmate Xu took out the black-covered notebook and primed it for an hour without capping it.

There are all kinds of problems, regardless of whether they are beyond the scope or not.

There was once an enthusiastic old professor who saw that he was agile and eager to learn, so he was happy to give him guidance. However, after a week in a row, the old professor asked for leave.

He said he was feeling unwell and needed to rest for a few days.

From eight o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock in the evening, I would buy food when I was hungry, give me water when I was thirsty, and would just keep asking questions.

The most considerate thing is that for teachers who live far away, Xu will take a taxi to their home in the evening.

Not a person!

On a sunny morning, Xu Rong, who had just been dumped by a teacher, received a text message.

"Waiting at the school gate."

It was sent by Aunt Xu.

Xu Rong looked at the back of the professor who was about to retire but was walking fast, sighed, and sent a text message back: "What's the matter, Sister Xu?"

Aunt Xu didn't reply.

Xu Rong didn't know why the professor ignored him. He also heard his classmates say it as a joke several times, but theoretical things can't be learned just by reading books and taking notes.

But teachers are different. They will explain in plain and easy-to-understand language. If you don’t understand, you can ask again. If you still don’t understand, you can ask again.

It's a pity that the teacher is not dedicated to his job.

After arriving at the school gate and waiting for about ten minutes, Xu Rong saw a bright brown car approaching from a distance, and finally stopped in front of him.

There are only two seats.

Although Xu Rong has never driven a car, he is somewhat knowledgeable now.

This proves that Aunt Xu is rich.

"Get in the car." Aunt Xu, wearing a pair of big sunglasses and a white jump-sleeved shirt, exposed her dimples and said, "Sister, I'll take you for a ride."

Xu Rong had been in a car before, but this time he hesitated.

He still wants to fight.

He has seen similar situations many times, especially among students in higher vocational classes. It is very common, and he understands what is going on.

Aunt Xu saw the hesitation on his face, and the dimples on his face gradually disappeared: "Can't you go up?"

Xu Rong thought that he was overthinking, so he got in the car and asked, "Sister Xu, are you... okay?"

"Nonsense, I really came to take you for a ride if you have nothing to do." Aunt Xu didn't look at him. After driving away from the school, she drove wildly and darted back and forth in the traffic.

"How are your skills, sister?"

"Ah, it feels so good."

"But, Sister Xu, this isn't very safe."

"Why is it unsafe?"

"It will be investigated."

"Did I violate the rules?" Aunt Xu glanced at him and said, "I was just driving."

When Xu Rong was in school, she always heard in books that rich people actually lived unhappy lives.

But today, he discovered that the happiness of rich people was beyond his imagination.

Arriving in front of a row of apartments at the east end of Datun Road outside the North Fourth Ring Road, Aunt Xu parked the car on the side of the road.

It was probably early morning, and the neighborhood was surprisingly quiet, with only a few people walking about on the street.

Aunt Xu took off her sunglasses and said, "Get out of the car."

Xu Rong was still confused and didn't ask any questions along the way, what on earth he wanted to do?

"Sister Xu, what on earth did you bring me here for?"

"Try the show." Aunt Xu pointed to the corridor of the apartment: "Uncle Li is going to film a new show. I asked someone before and I can bring you to try it out."

"Uncle Li"? Xu Rong was stunned for a moment, got out of the car, followed Aunt Xu and walked in, and asked in surprise: "Which Uncle Li?"

"Who else could it be, Uncle Li?" Aunt Xu gave him a strange look and said, "Have you ever heard of the Yongzheng Dynasty, and do you know about the move towards the Republic?"
