Chapter 13 Popularity(1/2)
After the filming started, Xu Rong's relatives and friends began to come to visit the studio one after another.
Li Yujie, who I met in the early days, now looks different from before. She is radiant, has constant filming appointments, and has a lot of roles in each drama.
I heard that my girlfriend is more powerful.
Xu Rong had only heard about it, but was not sure who it was, and had never heard Li Yujie mention it.
Looking at Li Mingjie today and imagining how cautious he had been along the way, Xu Rong couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Classmate Xiao Zhang showed up too early. Regarding the matter of his powerful girlfriend, he estimated that he would never have such a fate in this life.
Senior brother Huang Xiaoming, whom I met while filming "Shanghai Bund", also took the time to come over.
Xu Rong understood that with the current enthusiasm of the other party, it was not easy to come over, but he never thought that this guy also had impure thoughts.
I explored two at once.
He and Xu Huanhuan are classmates.
Huang Xiaoming didn't stay too long. He chatted for a few words, and after about twenty minutes, he was urged to leave by his assistant.
The arrival of another person that Xu Rong did not expect was Wang Qingxiang.
He and Wang Qingxiang met on the set of "The Ming Dynasty", but their interactions were not much, they were just acquaintances.
We are familiar with each other on the set of "Yangcheng Hidden Whistle", but it's just a close relationship.
What really changed was the mutual support a few months ago. Wang Qingxiang was grateful to Wang Qingxiang for speaking out for him when he was isolated and helpless, and getting rid of the controversy. Xu Rong was also grateful to Wang Qingxiang for lending a helping hand in times of crisis.
From a moral point of view, one should be selfless and selfless, and should help relatives rather than relatives. However, this is not the case in relationships with relatives. Helping relatives is often more important than helping relatives.
After going back and forth, the two of them have formed a deep friendship. One thing Xu Rong can be sure of is that if Wang Qingxiang gets into controversy again in the future, he will definitely come forward.
On the other hand, if he were in the same predicament as before, Wang Qingxiang would not ignore it.
Moreover, the content of their usual chats is somewhat different. Wang Qingxiang is not interested in gossip. Xu Rong went over to sit at his house. Wang Qingxiang likes to chat about dramas, who is good at which drama, and who is shameless enough to accept any drama to make money.
And what is the current situation of the industry, etc.
Wang Qingxiang sat on the set for most of the day and gave him some suggestions on his lines before leaving.
Ease.
Xu Rong understood what he meant. The lines themselves were a bit stiff, but there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, the script was written out.
Wang Qingxiang's suggestion is to use some tricks to ease this stiffness and make the character aware of the problem. The expression is roughly "I didn't want to say this, but how about" or "I know it's stupid to say this, so how about".
Xu Rong's current status allows her to make such adjustments to her lines.
Zhu Yawen was not left behind either. After arriving, he brought good news to Xu Rong: Niu Li was pregnant.
It's just that when he spoke, his eyes were always wrong, but at that time, Xu Rong didn't react because he had a clear conscience.
By the time he regained consciousness, Zhu Yawen had already run away without a trace.
When filming "Crossing Guandong", he did get closer to Niu Li, but that was purely for filming needs.
The child has nothing to do with him.
But Zhu Yawen's attitude made him have some doubts about Jin Fangfang's previous idea for the first time.
Guo Si arrived earlier. She was as busy as Huang Xiaoming. She stayed for half an hour and answered four or five phone calls.
His popularity seems to have improved all of a sudden. Most of the people he was familiar with in the past have come over. Those he is a little familiar with will also call him to ask how he is doing, or say "let's sit together when we have time" or "how about another day".
Everyone speaks nicely and politely, and thinks about everything for him. If he is filming, people will quickly hang up the phone and ask him to go ahead. He said that he is in the Northeast, and someone has also provided him with some mosquito repellent.
Tips for anti-freezing.
He asked Jin Fangfang to remember everyone who came, just like sharing money, this thing is a matter of courtesy.
What surprised Xu Rong the most was the arrival of Li Youbin.
The two of them would only contact each other when there was something going on, and it was the Chinese New Year, so they would have a meal and drink together.
But the moment she saw Li Youbin, Xu Rong suddenly remembered the news the day before yesterday, and couldn't help but have the urge to scold her.
This guy is no longer a human being!
Li Youbin's wrists were too big. As soon as he arrived, the crew immediately stopped filming, and Zhao Baogang also came to greet him.
"Teacher Li, come here to see Xiao Xu?" Zhao Baogang knew that he naturally knew the friendship between Xu Rong and Li Youbin. When Xu Rong was involved in controversy, Li Youbin took the risk to come forward. It was not an ordinary friendship.
He didn't know the reason, but he didn't need to know the reason.
Li Youbin smiled sweetly and happily. He looked at Xu Rong who pretended not to see him and said, "Well, Director Zhao, are you okay?"
Zhao Baogang exchanged a few polite words with Li Youbin, but he didn't see Xu Rong coming over. He turned his head in surprise, only to see Xu Rong, who seemed to have not noticed the movement at all, leaning on the chair and resting with his eyes closed.
"Xiao Xu, is Teacher Li here?" Zhao Baogang thought Xu Rong really didn't notice, so he shouted.
Xu Rong had no choice but to stand up. He knew what Li Youbin was here for. He was watching the news every day.
The crew would finish filming in two or three days, and he thought he wouldn't come.
Li Youbin was as happy as a monkey, striding up to him, grinning uncontrollably, and asked: "How are you? I watched the news two days ago and heard that you were injured? Is it okay?
"
"It's a small matter." Xu Rong raised his right hand, and he had basically recovered.
Zhao Baogang added a lot of fighting scenes in "Night". When filming a scene a while ago, one of the extras was probably too excited and used too much force. He broke his little finger with a stick, but thankfully,
, does not greatly affect the shooting.
He couldn't afford to delay, and neither could Zhao Baogang.
Although Li Youbin's face was full of concern, Xu Rong did not feel even a little bit of warmth.
Based on his understanding of Li Youbin, he probably wouldn't come to visit the class. Coupled with the news the day before yesterday, he roughly guessed his purpose of coming.
"You take a break first, and we'll talk after the filming is over." After Xu Rong finished speaking, he turned around and left.
He knew that Li Youbin was here to show off, but he refused to give him this opportunity.
Li Youbin is not in a hurry. He has no announcement at the moment and it is his rest time.
In the middle of the afternoon, after Xu Rong's scene ended, Li Youbin impatiently picked up Xu Rong and left. He raised the handbag in his hand and said, "Let's go. A friend brought me a bottle of good wine. I was thinking about it."
It's not interesting to drink alone, so I brought it here specially for you to try."
Xu Rong took her arm out of his hand without leaving a trace and asked, "Aren't you busy?"
"I was busy a while ago, so I wanted to come over and have a look, but I never had time."
Xu Rong took off her makeup first and ordered a few dishes at the hotel where she stayed without going anywhere else.
After the food was served, Li Youbin took out the good wine he had brought, patted the box with a smile and said, "Dukang, the wine from your hometown is interesting, isn't it?!"
Xu Rong thought that this place was a bit far from my home, but he hadn't figured out what medicine Li Youbin was selling in his gourd, so he could only respond perfunctorily.
After opening the box, Li Youbin's face suddenly changed, with a scowl on his face, and he said angrily: "What is your sister-in-law doing? She puts everything into the wine box every day."
"Bang."
As he spoke, he took out a small golden man from the wine box and sat heavily in front of Xu Rong.
Under the light, the flying golden man shone brightly, making Xu Rong's eyes trance.
Xu Rong's expression froze for a moment, then he took a breath of cool air between his teeth and swallowed it into his chest to calm down the boiling blood.
He expected that this guy would come here to show off to him, but he didn't expect to be so shameless and even bring the Flying Trophy.
Even packed in a wine box!
Did you never return home after you got the trophy?
"I'm just wondering why it's so heavy on the way here." Li Youbin spread his hands and said with an annoyed look, "It's four or five kilograms, do you think it can't sink? Your sister-in-law is the same, if you don't let her drink, she won't let her drink, but...
You can’t just put everything into the wine box, right? It’s my fault too, because I didn’t look carefully before I came here.”
Jin Fangfang looked at Li Youbin blankly, no, you came to visit the class with a trophy, what exactly did you do?
"Dukang can't drink this time." Li Youbin said regretfully, regardless of Xu Rong's stiff expression, "Let's just drink whatever we want, little girl, go get a bottle of wine."
After Jin Fangfang went out, Xu Rongcai forced out a smile, squeezed out some joy from between his teeth, and said, "Congratulations."
"Hey, what's there to congratulate? It's just a broken trophy." Li Youbin waved his hand and said indifferently, "We as actors can't always care about these false reputations. Hey, we have to be down-to-earth in filming and be upright.
.”
He changed his tone, stretched out his index finger, pointed at the shining golden trophy sitting on Xu Rong, and said: "Take this Feitian Award for example, what do you think it can do? I can't eat or drink it.
Tell me, you might as well give me four or five kilograms of mixed noodles."
"I actually don't understand why there are always people who have sharpened their heads and insist on fighting for these useless scraps that still take up space at home, just like us, are we fighting? Are we robbing them?
?”
"No! But it has to be stuffed into our arms. Tell me, tell me, how can this be justified?"
Seeing that Xu Rong could no longer maintain the smile on his face, Li Youbin picked up the trophy, put it into the box, and asked: "How about it, what are the plans for the second half of the year?"
Xu Rongqing exhaled the turbid air in his chest, calmed down, and then said: "The arrangements are full, and the filming will be completed in two or three days. Go back and rest for a few days, and shoot another scene, the one I told you before, to return the favor.
.”
