The day after Huang Sanshi left, the crew was officially divided into groups A and B. One group was led by executive director Du Jun to the Magic City to shoot some of the outdoor scenes, and the other group was held by Liu Jiang in Hengdian.

Xu Rong also came to the Magic City with Group B. According to the shooting plan, he returned to Hengdian after seven days of shooting, and then decided on the next date based on the actual progress.

He did not take on "Palace Lock Heart Jade". Now the palace dramas are indeed showing a hot trend, but after filming "The Ming Dynasty", he felt that similar palace dramas and historical dramas were almost sincere.

Due to the influx of capital, the current film and television market has formed a phenomenon of shooting hot topics and making money. Just like the big explosion of "Landed" a while ago, the number of spy war dramas launched suddenly increased.

These scripts are temporarily pieced together based on classic spy wars in the past. Some even have only one outline, which is written and filmed while filming. The production cycle is extremely short. From project establishment to film review, it may only take a few months to go through. It is very industrialized in film and television, but its essence is completely opposite.

Xu Rong had received several spy war invitations before, and the pay was very tempting, but the script itself was simply insulting the audience's IQ.

The current "Palace Lock Heart Jade" is a script like this, or it is just an idol drama dressed in the guise of a palace drama.

Two years ago, he filmed an idol drama in spy war skin, which achieved quite good ratings and consolidated his status as a first-line actor, but he knew that it was not the time to reward himself.

Such a drama is not unacceptable or acceptable, but not now, and it is absolutely impossible to be the first male. At least when he was scolded, Xu was innocent and one of the victims.

Of course, the pay for a penny cannot be lost.

He was not surprised by Huang Sanshi's behavior as a lobbyist. Over the past period of time, he encountered many similar things. The reason why he did not refuse on the spot was because Liu Jiang and Huang Ke were present. Moreover, Huang Sanshi was his teacher, so he had to save him some face.

If the investment in the dramas prepared by Liu Heping is in place, he will still have two TV series in his hand. These two dramas will take him a year for the filming period alone.

He is already too far behind his peers and can no longer use his left foot to mix his right foot. After all, with the graduation of 2005, many lucky people from the same class have entered the film market, and it is still unknown whether they will become famous in one go.

What he has to do next is to wait for a good movie script as the contract period approaches.

He is not in a hurry, just like the award speech of the Magnolia Award, Yu Zecheng will become a representative figure of such TV series in China.

With this work as a foundation, he will not worry about popularity in a short period of time, especially as "Luxing" becomes a milestone in spy warfare, the theme of spy war dramas has made many people who are sincere in artistic creations feel fearful and blind capital flocks. It is difficult for them to make another hit. The status of "Luxing" will only rise with time.

Furthermore, while preparing for "Before Dawn", he was also thinking, why is "Luxing" so popular?

It is undeniable that the fast pace, meticulousness of the script, and the business ability of the "Four Kings" are crucial, but from his own perspective, Yu Zecheng should be the pinnacle of his role since he started working.

And the deeper reason is thanks to someone, Ji Shiguang.

This fugitive taught him how to play a lurker.

From "Luxing" and from Ji Shiguang, he deeply realized the need to experience life in a deep level, and at least when he performed it, the audience looked more like that.

Next, he will gradually reduce his output until he shoots a movie a year.

A good show.

This is his plan for the future.

In the dressing room of Chedun Film and Television Base in the Magic City, Xu Rong met the female lead Yuan Quan again with less than a hundred scenes he had chosen.

"Mr. Xu, morning."

"Hello, Teacher Yuan."

Xu Rong glanced at the ordinary self in the glass, and said "thank you" to He Qian, the leader of the makeup team and the crew's stylist, and looked at Yuan Quan who was walking towards him at close range. In terms of appearance, the other party could not compare to many actresses he had worked with, but in terms of business ability, this person should be able to beat most of his peers except Song Jia.

The most commendable thing is that the other party's quiet temperament is very consistent with his imagination about Gu Yejia when analyzing the script.

During the time of reading the script, the two did not interact much, so they were not familiar with each other, but they had to form a certain degree of tacit understanding next, because in the next half month, they would focus on filming Yuan Quan's scenes, among which he was the main co-star.

Then send her away!

"Thank you, Teacher He."

"What's the trouble? Haha, this is the first time I have encountered a male and female protagonist who is as polite as you and Teacher Xu. It's always troublesome. Thank you, this is what I should do."

Xu Rong stood straight, quietly tidying up his clothes in front of the mirror. Listening to the conversation between Yuan Quan and He Qian behind him, he did not turn his head, but smiled and said, "Sister He, what you said is wrong. We have not cooperated before."

"Haha, the second time, the second time is better?!"

"Ha ha."

Xu Rong untied his belt and tied it up again. Perhaps to others, his behavior was quite boring and meaningless, but to him, it was of great significance.

What I will film later is a scene where he dated Gu Yejia, which is also the first time he dated Gu Yejia.

While tidying up his collar, Xu Rong suddenly found that there was a thread about three centimeters on the cuffs of his sleeve. He turned his head and looked at He Qian who was chubby beside him, and asked, "Sister He, where are the scissors?"

He Qian was putting on makeup on Yuan Quan and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I have a thread on my sleeve, cut it." He said, pointing to his cuffs.

"Oh, in that red box next to you."

Xu Rong took out the scissors from the box, cut off the thread tip, threw it into the trash can at He Qian's feet, and then put the scissors back into the box.

This was what Jin Fangfang reminded him before. After filming the film, the director had to ask the director to clean up the scene and not be able to leave the crew and get dirty all over the floor.

Because in the media and audience, they do not know the director Liu Jiang, nor do they know who the producer's name is. They only remember that this is his crew, and they will also acknowledge that this kind of incompetent behavior is his responsibility.

"Yaqin, start-up box."

"Okay, Teacher Xu."

Xu Rong took the start-up box that Wang Yaqin had trotted all the way, took out the oral spray, and sprayed it into her mouth three times.

He had just brushed his teeth an hour and a half ago, and there was no kissing scene today.

He Qian saw that he was preparing so seriously and joked: "Teacher Xu, I don't know, I really think you're going on a date."

"Haha, not."

Xu Rong smiled and did not explain the reason. A few years ago, when he met Xiao Zhang's classmate, he had done similar things, preparations before the date.

Yuan Quan looked through the mirror and looked at his strange behavior. She was not surprised, because she knew very well what Xu Rong's starting point was, but seeing the things he did in an orderly manner, she couldn't help but feel a little confused. This young man was a little different from what she had heard in the past.

Among the rumors she heard in the past, whether her boyfriend Xia Yu or classmate Liu Ye, she had a very bad review of Xu Rong, while the senior Li Xuejian and friend Chen Shu in the yard were completely opposite, and she praised him as if he had gone to heaven.

She was not curious about why a person had such a polarized evaluation, because perhaps what they saw might not be the most real side.

Today, she discovered through her own eyes that no matter how his business abilities or moral qualities are, at least, he is a person who is very serious about life, and seriousness makes her feel a little ashamed.

In the past, she was also such a person who took life seriously, but not long ago, due to some changes, something she had always taken seriously was completely messed up, which forced her to learn to settle down and learn not to be so serious.

No longer taking everything so seriously, no longer taking yourself so seriously.

She knew very well the significance of Xu Rong's series of actions just now, and through external similar preparations, she then experienced the emotions of "dating".

The most rare thing is that he actually noticed an inconspicuous thread. Even if many men really go on dates, they only ensure that they are clean and tidy on the surface, and often don’t pay much attention to the details.

She was not curious about what he originally thought, because she knew very well that it was not a good thing for herself.

When Liu Jiang invited her, she was quite puzzled because there was no need to invite her because of dozens of scenes.

Her pay is not low.

Liu Jiang finally revealed the reason because Xu Rong hoped that she could star in the role.

She wanted to refuse, but after reading the script, she decided to go ahead, even if the so-called female lead role of Gu Yejia is pitifully small.

Her personal experience made her realize that in life, no one can rely entirely on her parents, and her true love may disappear one day.

Listening to the ears is false, and seeing to the eyes is true.

She looked at Xu Rong's departure back and her impression of him changed a lot. She didn't think that such a person would be as unbearable as many people said.

When he really started shooting, although he had some expectations for Xu Rong's business ability, the first sentence he opened his mouth still shocked her.

"You are very beautiful today." Xu Rong looked at her eyes under her air bangs, and her tone followed the habits since the start of the phone, and did not reveal too much surprise, but his eyes clearly conveyed intoxication.

This is a sentence that is completely missing in the lines.

"Ah, is that?" She paused the smile that had just risen on her face before she zoomed in and said, "Thank you."

Director Du Jun was also a little confused. He was the director, but he was really the one who could make the decision.

But he was not in a hurry. Liu Jiang had more materials than his. Sometimes when he was filming, he would give a general outline to let the actors perform on the spot, and he would also take photos seriously.

Who knows if it can be used.

This is a director who is superstitious about editing magic. He is not afraid of too much material, but is afraid of not enough material.

Fortunately, Xu Rong immediately got back to the topic. After sitting down, she was straight and looked at her gently: "I'm sorry, I'm late."

Since Yuan Quan attacked Xu Rong, his eyes had been hanging on him. She was not curious about what kind of person Xu Rong was, but Gu Yejia was particularly curious about Liu Xinjie's inner world.

She has worked with many actors of the same age. Strictly speaking, Xu Rong is a few years younger than her, but her professional level is the highest among her peers.

He abandoned most external expression techniques and only shaped characters with emotions.

Thanks to the teachings of many teachers in the theater, she deeply understands that this kind of performance requires solid internal technical support.

Especially in the face-to-face scene, she finally understood why he was so popular at the moment at a young age.

"Card."

Du Jun watched the replay and said, "Two teachers, very good."

Xu Rong nodded at Yuan Quan with a smile. Yuan Quan was not like Song Jia. He didn't have the kind of stubbornness that you punch me or I would be frustrated if I didn't come back. However, every time he played, she could handle it just right, which also fits Gu Yejia's "gentle" role setting.

A very special way of performing.

After resting for nearly an hour, Du Jun asked, "Teacher Xu, are you ready? You are practicing driving."

"Ha ha."
