Chapter 20 The Great Man(1/2)
After hearing the voice under Zhu Xu's words, Xu Rong completely understood that Pu Cunxi planned to continue writing about the gloriousness of the Art Theatre.
I really look down on him, Mr. Xu.
No matter how big the stomach is, how big the rice is, he really doesn't think he is the material, and even if he is happy, he alone will not be able to do anything.
Among the middle-aged and young actors who can fight in the theater, Wu Gang, Feng Yuanzheng and others are better off. They will come back to perform one or two rounds a year. Those who have made a name in the film and television industry, probably have almost forgotten where the People's Arts gate has opened.
No matter how much other people expect him, it will not stop him from becoming a slut in his determination to be a slut in his personal arts. If he continues to write about the glory of the human arts, it is better to give the art committee in the hospital a headache.
If you are not in your position, you will not do your politics.
In fact, in his opinion, if the People's Art Theater can raise the treatment of actors, even if the problem of lack of talents cannot be solved, it can still temporarily delay the urgent need.
There is no shortage of people who are devoted to creating in this industry, just like Zu Feng, who has worked with him before, but the threshold for the People's Art Theatre is too high, and those with poor talent cannot get in. However, actors with high talent will be stupid and will not make a lot of money and devote their time and youth to the stage.
The People's Art Theater is not short of money. This year, the box office of "Watou Club" alone has reached 5 million. It is estimated that the annual box office of 30 million or 40 million should be no problem.
While Xu Rong was wandering around the museum with Zhu Xu, he walked in at some point a young man of his age. He probably saw the two of them and hurriedly came over to say hello.
"Teacher Zhu."
Zhu Xu looked at the other party's polite appearance and encouraged him: "I just played well."
"Thank you, Teacher Zhu, I will continue to work hard." The young man turned his head again and looked at Xu Rong, "Have you ever acted in a drama?"
"Um?"
Xu Rong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the other party carefully because he found that the man was quite hostile to him, and seemed to be still clamped and disdainful.
He glanced at Zhu Xu, who was also surprised but speechless next to him, shook his head and said, "I haven't acted much."
"Oh, I thought you Nortel only know how to make movies."
Zhu Xu frowned unhappily and scolded, "What are you talking nonsense? You think you are so awesome after acting in two scenes? Go and arrange your scenes well."
The young man nodded quickly and whispered: "Okay."
When the young man turned around and left, Zhu Xu turned his head, looked at Xu Rong's face as usual, and asked, "So many people look down on you, so don't you be angry?"
"It's okay."
Xu Rong shrugged his shoulders and said, "What he said is nothing wrong. Our school is indeed good at making movies."
Zhu Xu was full of doubts. He had never seen someone as cowardly as Xu Rong, and said, "No, you just pointed at your nose and scolded you. You really didn't take it to your heart at all?"
"I can't do it. I'll watch his drama just now." Xu Rong glanced at Zhu Xu and said meaningfully, "Don't always make things arouse me. If you say something a little crazy, I will never suspect that you can't act in film and television, and you will never suspect that I can't act in dramas. If you doubt it, you will reveal it without any concealment. Either you are stupid or have ulterior motives."
The farce just now was really a coincidence. Xu Rong didn't know the other party. He only knew that the young man played Xiao Pengda in "Watou Club". He should have been in the theater for two years. There was no need to come to the museum at all. He could run to him, rather than expressing his contempt for him secretly like a keyboard warrior on the Internet. He would definitely not be stupid.
But he didn't want to guess whether the other party was out of simple jealousy or being instructed.
While feeling that some people in the hospital value him, he also noticed some different emotions and attitudes, and some ignored them, and of course they were also disdainful and dissatisfied.
He neither proved that some people's attitudes were wrong nor gave the motivation to fight back.
No need to make a mistake.
Perhaps after he prepares carefully, he will seriously perform a drama, which will cause a huge response, and the box office will explode, and the result will naturally make some people put away their contempt and shut their mouths obediently.
It is commonly known as the slap in the face.
But he really doesn't want to be serious with some people who lack basic judgments, as it will only make him feel that he is as stupid as those people.
He tends to ignore such people, and this is the awareness he has gradually formed after he became famous in the past two years.
Zhu Xu looked at Lei Jia's back and smiled with a sneer, but he looked at Xu Rong's appearance that he didn't care at all, and couldn't help but feel frustrated. If he was at the same age, he had to play a good show for people to take a closer look. But this guy looked like he was fine, and he was really the same as Li Xuejian said. If he didn't want to do anything, it would be hard and soft.
Seeing that he was not concerned at all, Xu Rong said, "Hey, I said, "Master, the man was instructed by Puyuan just now?"
"Haha, I guess that's the same. Xiao Lei is not a person who likes to fight with others." Zhu Xu saw that Xu Rong didn't take this trick at all, so he didn't hide it from him anymore, "Do you understand?"
Of course, Xu Rong understood that, especially as the circle of contact becomes higher and higher, there are almost few pure fools. Even if you really don’t like it, you will smile when facing it.
The one who teared his face into dirty things, and even rolled up his sleeves and slammed his sleeves and slammed his sleeves when he had disagreements because the only means to attack the other party.
During Xu Rong's return class, as the last quarter of 2009 entered, three major domestic merchants took action.
The first category is sports product merchants, and the second category is alcohol. In the behind-the-scenes released by "Before Dawn", Xu Rong always drinks frequently. In the future, when this spy war is broadcast, it will inevitably drive some sales.
The third category is watch manufacturers. Because most of the characters Xu Rong plays wear watches and asks him to serve as the spokesperson, he can even save on the cost of implanting advertisements.
Although neither Xu Rong nor Jin Fangfang have ever made such remarks publicly, it has become a tacit consensus to give reasons for rejection.
Xu Rong only receives one endorsement a year.
This is also the reason why his endorsement fee has always led mainland artists. Scarcity is expensive, and merchants do not have to add clauses to the contract that they are not allowed to endorse similar products, because according to the frequency of his endorsement, the maximum number of endorsements he has in his hands will not exceed three.
In terms of his popularity, it is simply rare.
With its high popularity, Xu Rong's 10-year endorsement has also been nicknamed "the annual gold advertising resource position" in the industry.
This incident was originally quiet but only circulated in small circles, but after Yu Zheng passed a short essay on Weibo and some people's fuel, it turned into a "Xu Rong's endorsement incident".
The cause of the incident was a mess that Yu Zheng himself had done. A watch brand has been contacting He Shengming, a popular artist under Yu Zheng Studio since the middle of the year. During the contact between the two parties, Yu Zheng used this to hype several times. After all, being able to endorse such high-end brands can also improve the overall image of the artist.
However, after Jin Fangfang began to formally contact various merchants recently, the brand immediately abandoned He Shengming and instead pursued Xu Rong.
For Yu Zheng and He Shengming, this was really a slap in the face. After a long time of publicity, the man suddenly ran away.
In order to avoid the embarrassment after Xu Rong signed the contract, Yu Zheng took the lead in finding a fig leaf for himself.
Xu Rong grabbed the endorsement.
He dares to do this, so he naturally has the consideration of doing this. Once Xu Rong signs the contract, He Sheng’s reputation will be damaged and his popularity will plummet. If he doesn’t sign it, it will be just arguing.
There are far more than one or two who have made the same choice as this watch brand. Although Xu Rong's endorsement fee is expensive, the effect of increasing sales is too amazing. Baiqueling has added 17 production lines this year.
Faced with the merchant's eyes, many artists secretly thanked while shattering their teeth. Fortunately, they did not promote in advance like Yu Zheng, otherwise they would either wait to embarrass people or choose to offend Xu Rong.
It's just a way to cut off people's wealth, like killing parents.
Although Xu Rong did nothing, he unknowingly formed a bloody feud with many of his colleagues.
Xiao Zhang was lying on the end of the sofa. She only came back yesterday because she was going to play the second female lead. Besides, she was watched by Teacher Xu, so she had to read the script in a fake way.
But she read it without being too old and serious. In the past six months of boring time, the script was almost broken by her!
Therefore, she used the script to cover her phone, and swiped the web page aimlessly and quietly. She didn't know what she wanted to read, but she felt that playing with her phone was strangely happier than reading the script.
At some point, she suddenly sat up, put the script aside, climbed to Xu Rong halfway down on the other side, and said, "Teacher Xu, see if this person is scolding you? He said that a popular male actor named X seems to be the only one who matches it?"
Xu Rong stared at the mobile phone held in Xiao Zhang's hand, but the content she paid attention to was not on her words, and asked, "Aren't you reading the script? Why did you play with your mobile phone?"
"Ah, I was tired of studying, so I glanced at it." Xiao Zhang stumbled and immediately changed the topic, "This Yu Zheng is really bad. He is talking about you, but he still doesn't say it clearly."
Xu Rong took a look and said that since "Night" became popular last year, there have been countless colleagues who have been involved in the filming of his life. Just like those classmates before, they have put all their photos with him on the homepage of social networking websites.
If these things are not harmed, he usually turns a blind eye to them and pretends that they have not seen them. Because of him, it is also a good thing that others can have more opportunities.
But Yu Zheng has done this a little too much.
Although he had never met Yu Zheng, the two had had a lot of dealings. This was the one who asked Huang Jiake to plead with him before.
Cooperation failed, hold grudges and deliberately revenge?
Or are you using him to gain popularity and build momentum for the new drama?
He didn't understand what the hell was Yu Zheng's brain was, so he insisted on coming to him.
Xu Rong confiscated Xiao Zhang's cell phone and frowned and said, "If you can't see me, do something else. Come here and read the script for me."
Xiao Zhang looked at Xu Rong patting his thighs, and his head immediately shook like a rattle, and said, "I don't want it, it's not gone yet."
Seeing that Xu Rong stopped insisting, Xiao Zhang smiled and returned to the other end of the sofa, saying, "Teacher Xu, I find that you have become more and more shameless recently. Every time you always find some high-sounding reasons, and then after finishing, he still said confidently that I would tease you, hum!"
Xu Rong felt embarrassed at all. As long as he didn't admit it, Xiao Zhang was embarrassed and said, "Did you just say that I took the initiative once?"
"Then you keep rubbing, can you blame me?"
"You did it first, I told you not to."
"You, you can't stand it at all, you just did it on purpose, hum!"
Xu Rong suddenly smiled, holding his tone, wrinkling his nose, imitating the tone of Xiao Zhang this morning, and said, "Teacher Xu, come in quickly~"
Xiao Zhang suddenly opened his eyes wide, his face instantly turned red, and he threw the script on the table beside him: "My last name is Xu, I'll fight with you!"
After a while of trouble, Xiao Zhang tidied up his messy hair and asked, "Teacher Xu, how do you deal with this matter?"
Xu Rong carefully turned over a few righteous words but with obvious emotional tendencies and said, "Let's talk about it, once I pay attention to him, he will succeed."
Xu Rong did not pay too much attention to the external troubles. According to his plan, it is best to negotiate the endorsement next year before the next drama starts.
He currently has few endorsements, only two, and the fees are sky-high.
Considering that his popularity has increased to a higher level, the endorsement fee must be increased to a certain extent, and Jin Fangfang is worried about these things.
He has only one thought at the moment, preparing for a new drama, "Snow Leopard".
Then he strives to win the Grand Slam of the TV series' three major awards.
Before this, he could put it on the film market first. Liu Yanming's statement makes sense. The chaotic production and broadcasting market of TV series is indeed causing the first-line actors to pay more.
The three major awards are an important milestone in the field of TV dramas. Once he achieves a Grand Slam, not to mention his contemporaries, even all the TV people in the mainland can be ranked alongside him in honor.
