After the Spring Festival, just like the usual three years, Xu Rong left his hometown and came to the capital where the school is located, carrying his schoolbag and dragging his luggage.

After arriving at school and packing up, he began to prepare a study plan for the new semester. He had only learned more than half of the university courses, and he still needed to seize the time. At the same time, he had to move around with relatives and friends who had not visited him before.

Everything is still going on in an orderly manner, including the review, announcement, and promotion of some dramas...

It was probably a new year and a new atmosphere. As a marginalized figure in the film and television industry, Xu Rong suddenly felt a little different from previous years.

It seems that it is easier for actors or quasi-actors to get roles than in the past. Whether it is film and television themes, types or quantities, they are all slightly more numerous than last year.

Because there were suddenly a lot more film crews coming to the school to cast roles, students who usually didn't usually take time off also took time off one after another to join the crews that they had either heard of before or were completely unfamiliar with.

He only noticed these small details and didn't think much about the rest. Having too many scenes should be a good thing for an actor.

In terms of publicity, "Yangcheng Hidden Whistle" did not formulate a too detailed and thorough publicity plan, because there are really no big names in the team, and there is no topic.

When Xu Rongnian visited Zhao Junkai with gifts, he even asked implicitly if he wanted to hype up the scandal between him and Zhang Xinyi, but Zhao Junkai declined with a smile.

Later, when I chatted with Li Youbin on the phone, I mentioned this matter, and Li Youbin showed off it again: "If you win our trophy, people will be eager to hype you up."

The meaning is self-evident, Li Youbin, an old boy, mocked him for treating himself like a green onion.

Repaying kindness with enmity is really repaying kindness with enmity!

If Li Youbin hadn't thrown it by himself at the beginning, if he hadn't reached out and pulled it vaguely, he might have figured out what happened.

The road show of "New Shanghai Beach" was planned very carefully. Huang Xiaoming got a headache just talking about it. He usually likes to stay at home and never go anywhere.

But now it's no longer possible. He has to run from city to city like he's running for a show, chatting about anecdotes and life, and ultimately, guiding the audience's attention to the play.

Xu Rong was also not idle. Familiar friends would sit for a while, chat about the show, and say hello. Those who were unfamiliar would show up with some gifts and express their feelings.

Similarly, if someone familiar invites him to have dinner at home, he will try his best to go there. This will be a better basis for his future life.

At this moment, Xu Rong suddenly felt that it was necessary to take the driver's license test. He had not thought about it before, but now he is always running around and it is not convenient to take a taxi.

In fact, it's not all about the driver's license, but he always thinks that if things are not done, they must be done in order. Since he has passed the driver's license test, he must buy the supporting equipment for the license.

Such as a car.

Xiao Zhang put his hands in his long blue light down pockets and walked briskly in his white shoes. He ran into the elevator first and pressed the floor button. When Xu Rong came in, he asked in a low voice: "Teacher Xu

,Shall I call you uncle or aunt later?"

On the way here, Xu Rong had already told her about the hosts who invited them here, Mr. and Mrs. Li Youbin.

Xu Rong glanced at her with a smile and said, "That's not impossible. I usually call him brother. You can just call me uncle from now on."

"Oh, Teacher Xu, I'm talking to you seriously!" Xiao Zhang seemed a little nervous, and began to dwell on a certain topic habitually.

Xu Rong touched the fluffy hat on her head with his free hand and said, "Just call me brother and sister-in-law. Don't worry, as I told them before, they are all very nice people.

"

Xu Rong thought so, but he couldn't bear the thought that some people would not speak human words.

"Hey, my nephew is here. This is the classmate Xiao Zhang that Mr. Xu mentioned. You're welcome. Call me uncle." Li Youbin, wearing a black sweater, opened the door, took two bottles of wine from Xu Rong and looked at them.

, and then said with a slightly "friendly" expression.

Classmate Xiao Zhang opened her mouth, looked at Xu Rong, and then at Li Youbin. She felt that her brain was a little weak. She knew Li Youbin, a big shot in the film and television industry. Such a person was so serious.

What you say cannot be false, right?

But Teacher Xu clearly said "brother" and "sister-in-law".

Also coming to greet her was a middle-aged woman in her forties, with a long, thin face, big eyes, and a smile that made people feel very friendly.

Li Youbin’s current wife, Shi Lanya.

When I went to visit Li Youbin on the set, Xu Rong had met her several times. She was a very discerning woman.

At first, Li Youbin didn't want to take the role of "Bright Sword", but the woman in front of him persuaded him for a while before he accepted it. Later, Li Youbin was worried that it would be cold to film in Northeast China and didn't want to take the role of "Bright Sword". It was this woman who persuaded her to sign the contract.

"Hello sister-in-law, I wish you a happy old age." Xu Rong smoothly pulled Li Youbin away, pulled Xiao Zhang over, and said: "Sister-in-law, let me introduce you to Zhang Xiaofei."

Xiao Zhang timidly pulled the corner of Xu Rong's sleeve and shouted: "Hello, sister-in-law."

Shi Lanya caught a glimpse of Li Youbin and Xu Rong's little moves next to her, pursed her lips and smiled. She knew that Li Youbin and Xu Rong were noisy, and the older one didn't act like the older one, and the younger one didn't act like the younger one.

Therefore, Quan pretended not to see him, grabbed Xiao Zhang's arm, and said: "Xiao Zhang, right? Xiao Xu always mentioned you to me before. When I saw you today, you are so beautiful. Xiao Xu is really quite pretty."

Blessed."

Xiao Zhang's ears and cheeks turned red, but he couldn't speak, so he just wrung his hands together, and Li Youbin and his wife laughed loudly.

"Look at you, I've prepared the red envelope, and I'm just waiting to kowtow and call uncle." Li Youbin seemed a little depressed when his wife agreed. At the same time, it also indirectly broke the embarrassing situation of Xiao Zhang.

As he spoke, he patted Xu Rong on the shoulder and explained to Xiao Zhang: "Haha, we are just having fun. Let's go for a walk. Don't stand by the door all the time. Go inside and sit inside."

Shi Lanya led classmate Xiao Zhang into the door first. While Xu Rong was changing her shoes, Li Youbin pointed inside and said, "Not to mention, this little girl is a perfect match for you."

"It goes without saying that we have such vision."

"You're still excited." Li Youbin patted him and asked, "How are you? It's the New Year, do you have any plans? Let me ask you, did you say you don't have any plans for this year?"

Xu Rong followed him inside and said, "Aren't we waiting for the movie to be released? I haven't planned to take the movie yet. Wait, when you say that, I also remembered something. In order to repay a favor years ago,

I should be next, but I feel like I may not be able to perform it."

Shi Lanya poured a glass of water for the two of them and asked: "What's the show? I heard your brother say, Xiao Xu, you won't say such soft words easily. Come on, Xiao Zhang drinks water and doesn't come out, Xiao Xu."

I have been friends with your brother for many years, so when we come here, we treat it as our own home."

Xiao Zhang held the water glass and nodded. Although she didn't like this kind of occasion, Teacher Xu wanted to take her with her when she was visiting a close friend, which made her inexplicably happy.

Although she didn't quite understand the meaning.

When Xu Rong heard Shi Lanya speak, his eyes lit up slightly, he patted his forehead and said, "Look, I forgot about such a god like my sister-in-law. I should have called you to ask about you a long time ago."

"It is a character who is about forty years old. It is a family ethics drama. He is positioned as a successful man, but he is also a father and husband. However, the quality of the book is quite average, and the logic of the story is also very poor, which is a bit divorced from reality."

Li Youbin said nothing, just like Xu Rong, he looked at his wife.

"Hey, what a god, don't listen to your brother talking nonsense all day long." Shi Lanya sat next to Li Youbin, and instead of discussing the matter, he asked: "You should have noticed that there are more casting groups recently, right?"

As soon as Xu Rong put the water cup to his mouth, he put it down again, frowning and asked: "That's what happened, but is there any relationship between it?"

"How come it doesn't matter?" Shi Lanya asked again, smiled a little, and then said: "Tell me, why are there so many casual dramas?"

"It's not that simple. We have more capital." Li Youbin took over the conversation smoothly. He had a deeper understanding of this matter because he could hardly finish the book he was handed.

"Yes." Shi Lanya nodded first, then shook his head slightly, and said: "Not entirely. First, investors outside the circle realized the profits and began to enter the market. On the other hand, they are laymen after all.

, I don’t understand the market at all, I only see from the data that I can make money, but I can’t tell what kind of things can make money and what kind of things can’t make money. If at this time there is a director who is almost famous and just a few words.

, one drama is more than half of it.”

Seeing Xu Rong nod, she continued: "But you also have to consider the opportunity cost. The more scenes there are, the more opportunities there will be for some of the leading actors, because there are more scripts to choose from and the investment scale is larger.

, it may not be a good thing for other people. If your play is not good-looking, the audience will have a wider choice."

At the end, Shi Lanya laughed again and said: "But since you are returning a favor, you can't pay attention to these things. But I estimate that this situation will become more and more serious now. When they figure out the rules of the game, it may not be like

It’s so easy to cheat now, so in the next few years, you must choose your books carefully.”

As she spoke, she turned her head again, looked at Xiao Zhang, and asked: "Xiao Zhang, you are also from Nortel, right? I heard that Xiao Xu also wants to make a movie?"

"Well, the phone will be turned on in a few days." Xiao Zhang said politely, holding a cup of water, smiling slightly, and tapping his chin gently at the same time, which made Xu Rong sitting next to him feel unreal.

Student Xiao Zhang actually has such a dignified and generous side?

Xu Rong thought for a while and roughly understood what Shi Lanya meant. The sharp increase in demand will make leading actors more and more popular. However, for someone like him, the competitive pressure is increasing day by day, gradually forming a polarization.

Because he is a "traditional employer" with a contract, he is unlikely to be favored by the "upstarts", especially Hairun, which he signed, is a tradition within the tradition, unless he can quickly become popular and become one of the new top actors.

1, otherwise the situation we face will become increasingly severe.

But he still has a doubt. Head actors need works to convert into guaranteed ratings, but the key point is that the number of heads is fixed. No matter how great the demand is, the supply is also certain.

He still can't think of how to make up for this growing gap in the future. People like Li Youbin, because of their age, can only take on three films a year.
