Chapter 104 Gossip(1/2)
After the award ceremony, in the backstage corridor.
"Teacher Xu, wait a minute, Teacher Xu, wait a minute."
Xu Rong was walking when he heard the shouting and slowed down a little, but did not stop.
Unlike most of his colleagues who were planning to stay in a hotel arranged by the organizer, he wanted to go home and rest.
After the award ceremony, he was dragged by various media to participate in nearly half an hour of interviews. Although there was no news tonight, because he did not appear in the media's field of vision, he turned out to be the only one who watched the emperor and queen.
The target of various media competition, especially the large number of northern media, all are eager to pry the word "shady" out of his mouth.
Of course, returning home does not mean returning to the capital immediately. It is already late at night. When he arrives in the capital, it will probably be two or three in the morning. After going back and forth, he might as well stay in a house here in the magic city.
Nowadays, the events he wants to attend are usually in the capital or the magic city, so he has bought a residence here early.
When he slowed down, a little girl about eight or nine years old with double eyelids, big eyes, and a thin face ran up to him panting, blinked her big clear eyes, raised her head and asked timidly: "Xu
,Teacher Xu, can you take a photo with me?"
Xu Rong looked at the little girl who was still panting and the heavy camera hanging on her chest, and smiled. However, before he could speak, the two staff members who had been with him immediately blocked it with their bodies.
He looked at her and said, "I'm sorry, Teacher Xu is still busy."
Artists are generally not willing to take photos with strangers, but it is hard to refuse in person, because those who want to take photos with artists are usually fans or moviegoers.
This is the role of the staff, to tell the artists what they want to say but cannot.
Immediately afterwards, a woman in her thirties ran over and said, "Why are you running so fast? There are so many people, what should I do if I lose them?"
Seeing Xu Rong standing aside, the dissatisfaction on the woman's face turned into surprise, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand: "Teacher Xu, hello, hello."
Xu Rong didn't hold it. Originally he was still hesitant about taking a photo with the girl, but when he saw the woman's arrival, his hesitation immediately disappeared and he turned around and walked out.
"Teacher Xu, Teacher Xu, I am also an actor, and I am your fan." The girl saw that he was about to leave, and she became anxious and hurriedly took out the invitation letter from her pocket.
Xu Rong turned her head, looked at the letter in her hand, was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay."
When he came over to attend the Magnolia Awards Ceremony today, he noticed a subtle difference. As he entered and waited, the young artists, especially the younger ones, were incredibly polite to him.
Everyone who saw him wished they could bend their waists as if blown by an eleventh-level wind.
After Xu Rong took the photo and left, the middle-aged woman whispered: "When encountering similar situations in the future, you must get closer to Teacher Xu and try to make him remember you."
The girl looked at the woman blankly and asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Don't worry so much, just do as I say."
The woman looked at Xu Rong's back and sighed helplessly. Xu Rong was born in Nortel, and now he is a visiting professor at Nortel. He is even more impressive in the Chinese Opera Department. If he is the deputy director of the acting department, if he establishes a good relationship with him in advance, the child will
Going to school from now on will be a sure thing.
In her expectation, it would be best to work with Xu Rong on a drama. She doesn't have to be deliberate at all. They can get familiar with each other naturally after spending two or three months together day and night.
Her politeness to Xu Rong was due to the same reason. If she hated him, it would be difficult to get into the gates of the three major universities.
Xu Rong didn't care about this. Although he was surprised by other people's reactions, he didn't find it difficult to understand.
Most people only saw that he was transferred to China National Theater, but they didn't know that he was only on a temporary basis at China National Theater. He could not lead a class or know how to lead a class. If he really had that energy, he might as well lead another orientation class.
In the past, when the drama market was cold, I didn't notice it. As the drama market has continued to heat up in recent years, there has been a gap in actors in the theater.
Just like now, in order to prepare for the 60th anniversary of the hospital, we have to recruit actors from Chinese opera and Mandarin opera.
It's just that what the courtyard is short of is not heads, but talented young people.
However, these are still early days. In the short term, he cannot focus on cultivating talents for the hospital. These are things that Pu Cunxi and Zhang Heping should worry about.
Returning to the capital the next day, after getting on the bus at the airport, Xu Rong found that Xiao Zhang's classmate did not seem to be in a very high mood and asked: "What's the matter? I've only been away for a day. Are you unhappy again?"
What happened?"
Xiao Zhang put on his seat belt, took off his shoes very skillfully, got into the passenger seat, and said: "During rehearsal yesterday, Ren Yuan got angry again."
"It's still fierce!" She turned her face and emphasized in an extremely serious tone.
Xu Rong smiled and said: "He is either angry or has a loud voice. He acts like that when he is anxious. Wait, he is quarreling with you. Can't he? You only have a few words?"
Each director in the academy has a different style. Ren Ming has a good temper, is always cheerful, and is very polite to everyone. However, once he directs a play and the actors fail to produce the effect he expected, he gets impatient.
He can't control his voice when he gets angry, which is exactly the opposite of the director who is always used to keeping a straight face.
However, drama directors are always unreasonable. Unlike film and television directors, the means that drama directors can use are too expensive. Apart from sound, light, and stage design, they can only rely on the performance of the actors.
Ren Ming is also unreasonable. For example, he asks the actors to "lift" a certain word in a sentence, but how to "lift" it is not what he cares about.
"Hey, Teacher Xu, what do you mean, if you have fewer lines, you can't argue?"
"Why aren't you happy that I didn't bother you?"
"Oh, I'm telling you something serious." Xiao Zhang rolled his eyes at him and said, "He is really angry. It's completely different from before. He told Song Yi that if she doesn't perform well again, she will be removed."
Xu Rong still didn't take it seriously and said: "Just withdraw. I thought it was something wrong. Where did Song Yicai go? Don't talk about her. Because of this, Lan Tianye was withdrawn when he was young.
Yes, but don’t worry, Ren Ming only talks about it and will not withdraw actors under normal circumstances.”
"Oh." Xiao Zhang felt a little more relieved now, and his tone suddenly rose, "Yes, Teacher Xu, Teacher Feng Yuanzheng said that he wants to take me to play "Bosom Friend"."
As soon as Xu Rong heard her voice, he guessed the general situation and asked with a smile: "What do you mean, there are a lot of lines this time?"
"hey-hey."
Xu Rong did not go home, but drove directly to the hospital. Attending the Magnolia Award Ceremony was the time she had squeezed out, and the most urgent thing at the moment was "Home".
After the performance was over, the filming of the first movie in the true sense officially began.
The publicity for "The Founding of the Party" has already been overwhelming, occupying the most conspicuous position in major theaters and the media.
But today, the media's discussion about this luxurious blockbuster, which brings together many film and television actors and entertainers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, has suddenly decreased a lot.
Last night's Magnolia Awards ceremony did not go beyond Xu Rong's expectations, and as expected, it occupied all major entertainment pages.
Contrary to the one-sided praise of the late-blooming Shidi Shihou in the south, many northern media, led by the Beijing Daily, kicked off their attacks on the organizers and the jury of the Magic City TV Festival.
In the past, the organizers of major awards would take care of film and television practitioners related to them, but this time the Magnolia Awards were too ugly. If "Before Dawn" hadn't won the gold medal for TV series, this year's Magnolia Awards would have been completely reduced.
A small-scale carnival for several film and television companies in the south.
Xu Rong was sitting in his office, looking at the merciless criticisms from the Beijing Daily. He was sifting through it, but he couldn't find any comments about himself. Although he made his fortune in the south, and his early fan base was mainly concentrated in the south, but
Since "Harbin at Night" became popular across the country, his influence is no longer limited to certain areas.
If it had been the case in the past, I'm afraid he would have been picked up by the media with a clear stance in the north, but this time, no media mentioned his name, but only felt that it was unfair for "Snow Leopard" and "Before Dawn".
The reason is obvious. As long as he does not make a big mistake of principle, no media would dare to provoke him.
He no longer pays too much attention to Magnolia. Those who speak out may not necessarily have an absolutely impartial stance. They are either hurting their interests or trying to gain attention.
Silent may not necessarily think that yesterday's award ceremony was fair and just. Just like him, he didn't care. On the one hand, on the other hand, the organizer allowed him to announce the two grand finale awards for the first time, which also gave him enough face.
It's just okay for Magnolia to do this once, but doing things like this all the time consumes its own credibility.
At nine o'clock, Xu Rong got up and came to Li Liuyi's office. Looking at Li Liuyi who was busy inside, he knocked on the door twice and said with a smile: "Director Li, are you busy?"
"Captain Xu is here, sit down."
Li Liuyi took off his glasses. He knew that there must be something wrong with Xu Rong coming to the door so early in the morning.
Sure enough, before he poured the water, Xu Rong said: "That's right, I have an idea. There are quite a lot of people in our group, so I found a suitable place to make preparations."
Li Liuyi put the water cup in front of him in surprise and asked doubtfully: "The right place?"
"Yes, I bought a house. To a certain extent, the environment is more suitable for the scene we are preparing." Xu Rong saw that Li Liuyi's expression was full of doubts, "While it is still early, I will take you to have a look.
?”
"become."
"That's what I think. Everyone in our crew will move in, and our wardrobe will have to change. Before the show is released, Teacher Lan Tianye is not Lan Tianye, Teacher Zhu Xu is not Zhu Xu, and I am not me."
Li Liuyi understood his thoughts, and he was also very clear about Xu Rong's performance style. Unlike many actors today who are accustomed to "substitution", Xu Rong still pursues the most extreme experience.
When Xu Rong drove the car to Shichahai, Li Liu got out of the car and looked at Xu Rong's so-called "house". He stared at it for a long time, but he couldn't hold back a word.
Xu Rong opened the courtyard door, walked in, and said: "No matter what, the previous style has been retained to the greatest extent. Of course, there is nothing we can do about the furniture. Adding those would be too expensive."
Li Liuyi followed numbly, stood in the patio, turned around twice, calmed down a little, and asked: "Captain Xu, you bought such a big house just for the experience?"
The courtyard has two entrances, and its layout should be considered top-notch.
Xu Rong nodded matter-of-factly and said: "Yes, I originally wanted to live here by myself, but think about it, living alone in such a big house will not last long, not to mention ten days and a half, and my mood will gradually change."
It will become "boring" and "heavy", and I have figured it out. Although there are not many Beijing-style children's plays in our hospital, there are still quite a few. If you buy it, you can come and live here if you have something to do.
benefits.”
"You, this is a good idea."
Li Liuyi still felt that his head was buzzing, not only because of Xu Rong's craziness for the show, but also because of his generosity. Such a large yard with two entrances to one square, even if it was cheap, would probably be a deal worth hundreds of millions.
But in the past, regarding Xu Rong's financial situation, the rumor in the hospital was: Don't look at Captain Xu's popularity, but he actually owed a lot of foreign debt.
But he bought a house as big as a house casually, how could he look like he was in debt at all?
He suddenly experienced the feeling of the fairy tale being shattered again. When he was in school, the teacher always said: Don't look at those rich people sitting on billions of dollars, but in fact they are not happy.
