Xu Rong left for Harbin three days later than originally planned. This was the phone call he received from Zhao Baogang while he was having dinner with Guo Si and Jin Fangfang.

The media conference originally scheduled to be held the day before yesterday was cancelled.

Xu Rong could vaguely guess the reason from various minor events in the past.

It must have happened that two actresses in Zhao Baogang's own company, Dong Xuan and Li Xiaoran, were in internal strife.

This time he flew to Northeast China again to film a play called "Harbin at Night", in which he played the male roles of Wang and Min.

As for Li Xiaoran and Dong Xuan, they are the first and second female lead for this drama.

Li Xiaoran plays the lead female lead Lu Qiuying, while Dong Xuan, who has become a new generation goddess with the role of Shangguan Yan in "Snowflake Goddess Dragon", plays the lead female lead Liu Xufei.

In terms of popularity and popularity with the audience, it is difficult for Li Xiaoran, who is not a professional, to compete with Dong Xuan, who is at the peak of his career.

Moreover, when Xu Rong went to Huang Xiaoming's house for dinner some time ago, he heard him make a very interesting statement.

"Whether it's an actor or an actress, there is no distinction between beauty and ugliness. If you want to be popular, you have to have distinctive features so that the audience can remember the most obvious features after seeing them."

This is where it is difficult for Li Xiaoran to compare with Dong Xuan. Li Xiaoran is "ordinary" in appearance, while Dong Xuan is "unique" in appearance.

This is not the source of the conflict between the two as Xu Rong guessed. The most fundamental reason is probably that they belong to the same company and are both members of the "Zhao Family Class". They are currently competing overtly and covertly for the title of "First Sister".

At that time, Xu Rong was just stealing some of the limelight from her first brother, and was immediately outsmarted by Chang Jihong. Such a big event involving the dispute over the "first sister" would not be normal without a blow to the head and bleeding.

Xu Rong didn't know the specific details, but he knew a little bit. Since he decided to take the role, he has been in frequent contact with Zhao Baogang. Regarding the positioning of the characters, the relationship between the characters, etc., he must understand every detail.

In the past two months, Zhao Baogang made major changes to the script five times.

Xu Rong didn't quite understand what was going on at first, but later he saw some clues. Every time Zhao Baogang made changes, either Dong Xuan's role would be increased or Li Xiaoran's role would be reduced.

Zhao Baogang is looking for a balance point that satisfies both parties.

And in the third change, Xu Rong also completely understood the reason why Zhao Baogang approached her, and used his popularity to praise two actresses from his own company.

He also knew that there was nothing he could do about it, because Zhao Baogang was both the director and the producer.

He could better understand Zhao Baogang's behavior of changing the script. By this time, the nature of the matter was no longer a matter of the number of roles, but the difference in status between the two actresses and the inclination of future resources.

Unfortunately, despite Zhao Baogang's considerable efforts, Dong Xuan still unilaterally announced three days ago that he would not join the cast of "Harbin Under Night".

Schedule conflict.

Even though he was thousands of miles away, Xu Rong felt his face hurt for Zhao Baogang who was far away in Harbin.

It’s really a slap in the face.

Dong Xuan's statement was like a series of slaps in the face of his boss, Zhao Baogang, and resounded throughout the industry.

Reputation in disgrace!

No face left!

Because in the past few months, Zhao Baogang has publicly declared on numerous occasions that Dong Xuan serves as the female lead in "Harbin Under Night" and that the script of "Night" is tailor-made for her, not to mention the "New Four"

"The most beautiful woman", "secret weapon" and other such compliments are almost free of charge and can be praised wherever you go.

But now, Zhao Baogang has almost become a laughing stock in the industry because of his previous remarks.

A boss that even an actor can't control.

A boss who wrote a script tailor-made for his own actors, but when it was about to start filming, his own actress resigned from the role.

Well said.

This was Xu Rong's first thought after hearing the news.

It's not that watching the excitement is not a big deal, he is an actor, and the first thing he considers is whether the film can be filmed well.

Two actresses vying for the title of "first sister" get together in a group. Even if Zhao Baogang personally supervises the situation, it may be difficult for them to get along harmoniously.

And thankfully, although "Night" was still shot in Northeast China, it was not winter at least, and we didn't have to experience low temperatures of 20 to 30 degrees below zero.

Last year when filming "Crossing Guandong", Xu Rong almost had a psychological shadow.

If it weren't for the fact that classmate Xiao Zhang's hometown is in the Northeast, he would have secretly sworn in his heart that he would never go to the Northeast in winter in the future.

Xu Rong's thoughts turned back and he glanced at the white clouds outside the plane window. He felt that the sunlight was a bit dazzling. He was about to close the visor when he caught a glimpse of Jin Fangfang beside him who was reading the script carefully. He took his hand back and closed his eyes. He remembered

A scene from yesterday.

In order to thank Yang Mi for her "help", he treated Yang Mi to a meal yesterday. At the same time, in order to ensure that groundless rumors would not turn into solid evidence, he specially called out the "disrespectful" duo Yuan Shanshan and Jiao Junyan.

But after the meal, he listened to the scolding for a long time, saying that he was eating what was in the bowl and looking at what was in the pot.

When classmate Xiao Zhang asked whether he agreed in advance, he only said, "That Jin Fangfang is so smart. He specially picked the one that Teacher Xu thought was ugly." He didn't say anything else. These two people were like the emperor who is not in a hurry and the eunuch who is in his hurry.

.

However, Yang Mi took it lightly and just smiled and said that if there is any such hype in the future, she must make it clear in advance.

Xu Rong looked at Yang Mi's smile at the dinner table, which seemed to be unconcerned, and her heart skipped a beat.

It's broken, and I owe you a favor.

If Yang Mi scolded him and he apologized or even punished himself with three cups of wine, the matter would have passed. In the end, it was revealed in an understatement, so he couldn't really treat it as nothing happened that night.

You should try your best to have as little contact with this smart girl as possible in the future. She might be selling you some time and help you count the money.

The reason why he chose Yang Mi before was because he couldn't help it. He wasn't familiar with many actresses, and he couldn't open his mouth to the ones he had a normal relationship with.

Sun Li, who is in the same company, and her boyfriend are having sex with each other. If they really get involved, then he is the third party involved.

Compared with the label of "young and romantic" proposed by Jin Fangfang, "Hairun Little Shovel" is much more unpleasant.

Chen Shu is a good candidate, and can also build momentum for the currently airing "New Shanghai Beach", but he feels a little guilty. After all, he did have thoughts about her at the beginning, even if nothing actually happened.

In fact, in comparison, he was more familiar with Aunt Xu than Sun Li and Chen Shu. However, after experiencing a little bit of Aunt Xu's energy some time ago, he decided to maintain appropriate respect for Aunt Xu.

It's not that I don't dare, but I simply admire Aunt Xu as a person.

As for Zhang Xinyi, he didn't even think about it. Even though the cooperation was quite pleasant, he always felt that he couldn't see through her. She looked cheerful and straightforward, but she couldn't speak clearly.

But it's not like he's never seen someone like that. A truly straightforward person is filming "Horseback Bank" in Anhui Province.

After such elimination, Jin Fangfang found helplessly that among the relatively familiar and famous actresses in Xu Rong's circle, only Yang Mi was left.

Jin Fangfang felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Just like when two groups had a group fight, she was charging invincibly, but Xu Rong, a teammate fighting side by side, suddenly stopped, squatted on the ground, and said: "You go first, I will tie my shoes."

bring."

"Teacher Xu?" Jin Fangfang finished flipping through the outline of the script, touched him with her arm, and asked, "Why did you choose this book? There's nothing outstanding about it?"

"More money." Xu Rong shrugged and said, this is the truth.

He has accepted three film contracts this year, and the two that will be filmed next are all acquaintances, so the remuneration is based on normal standards. 50,000 per episode is just over the threshold for the first-line.

"Harbin at Night" was different. Zhao Baogang offered him 60,000 yuan, but he ended up getting almost 500,000 yuan, which was more than he had earned from all the movies he had shot in the past.

Another reason is that the overall logic of the story is not a big problem, and it is still a popular subject.

Since the decline of martial arts dramas, spy dramas can generally achieve good ratings as long as their writing is not too bad.

When Xu Rong came out of the airport entrance, looking at the crowd of female fans outside to pick up the plane, she looked at Jin Fangfang in confusion: "What's going on?"

Most of his past business invitations came from the South. In the North, especially the Northeast, he didn't have much influence, and fans weren't supposed to pick him up.

Jin Fangfang wanted to roll her eyes, but considering the image she was creating, she held back and said, "These should be Ding Li powder."

Xu Rong understands, "New Shanghai Beach".

It was indeed a bit unexpected. He originally thought that this drama would be popular, but he did not expect that it would become so popular.

Although it was wildly criticized by some film and television critics who constantly emphasized its presence, it did not affect the popularity of this drama at all.

As the second male lead, and with the popularity of "Yangcheng Hidden Whistle" still going on, he is talked about as much as Huang Xiaoming.

Among them, the word with the most comments is, compound and progressive acting skills.

The third male beats the second male, and the second male beats the first male.

That is, there is a strong contrast between Li Xuejian, Xu Rong and Huang Xiaoming.

When Xu Rong saw the comments on the Internet, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Without the support of Huang Xiaoming, a brother with unparalleled kindness and righteousness, the popularity and goodwill accumulated in "Yangcheng Dark Whistle" would have been lost.

At the same time, he also made a conscious decision not to cooperate with Li Xuejian again until the comprehensive evaluation of his acting skills reaches A+. Li Youbin is just a cancer, but Li Xuejian uses his role as a supporting role to force everyone to act as his foil.

But Huang Xiaoming can also secretly be lucky. In any case, he still has the support of a large number of pretty girls. When "New Shanghai Beach" became a hit, the one who suffered the most was the female lead, Sun Li.

No matter in newspapers, magazines or on the Internet, there are almost no good words to say about her. Instead, they are overwhelmingly scolded.

Not only is her temperament and appearance inferior to that of the second female lead, Chen Shu, but the most bizarre thing is that as she is constantly being compared with the previous version of Feng Chengcheng, with Sun Li as the foil, the former "Feng Chengcheng" Zhao Yazhi has suddenly received many announcements in the mainland recently.

When I started to think about it, I felt like I had a second spring in my career.
Chapter completed!
