Xu Rong wished he could break a minute into two petals, because the screenwriter of the next film passed away suddenly, so he had to take time to study the original work while reading the script.

In addition, the teachers also suggested that he watch some classic dramas to learn expression techniques and learn from others' strengths.

Therefore, in addition to losing weight and building confidence in Xiao Zhang, he also needs to read and study and take time to watch drama performances.

In addition, Jin Fangfang always asked him to learn English from time to time to prepare for the future.

Xu Rong didn't take this to heart.

Film and television works themselves are a medium for transmitting culture and values. It does not mean that works that are popular in China will definitely sell well abroad, because people simply do not accept your values ​​and do not want to accept your cultural output.

Just like water flowing to lower places, only when the nation behind you stands in a high position can culture flow to lower places.

Just like the films that can win awards or be big hits abroad right now, they are either kung fu films or critical literary films.

Kung Fu movies are due to the path pioneered by Mr. Li Xiaolong, who overcame all obstacles and thorns, so that younger generations can enjoy the shadow of the aftermath. However, even Hollywood Kung Fu movies promote Western individual heroism rather than Eastern values ​​of individual submission to the collective.

As for critical literary and artistic films that can win awards, they are purely needed by the camp, because some people need to criticize this ancient nation, and the so-called real literary and artistic films born in this land just give them the material and material for criticism.

evidence.

It makes it extremely convenient for some people to demonize and make this land and nation worse.

In Xu Rong's view, these people who do whatever it takes to win awards are much more hateful than bad film directors. Bad film directors just defraud domestic audiences of their money, but at least the audience is willing. And these people who are just trying to gain fame,

For the sake of fame and profit, even the conscience is fed to the dogs.

Just when Xu Rong came out of the theater after watching a play, his cell phone rang.

This is from Jin Fangfang.

"Xu Rong, there is an interview in Nandu, do you want to take it?"

Xu Rong refused without even thinking about it. If there are no surprises, he will have three dramas released next year. Among them, "Crossing Guandong" is CCTV's new year drama. "Night" is also confirmed to be broadcast on CCTV. It does not require media exposure.

.

"But they gave him a lot of money." Jin Fangfang gave him a reason to think carefully, "One million."

Xu Rong was a little satisfied and asked: "How much?"

"One million!"

"Oh." Xu Rong listened blankly to this number, feeling a little unreal. Even if he was very popular in the south, the price was too outrageous, right?

He was shortlisted for the "Most Popular Actor of the Year" selected by Southern Television a few days ago.

"One million won't determine the script, but fifty thousand will determine the script. However, the interview was extremely unfriendly and might make you unable to get off the stage."

Xu Rong thought of the interview and asked, "If you contact them, you can live broadcast on the TV network, but the price will have to rise, five million."

Jin Fangfang was silent for a while and said: "Okay."

Things went smoothly beyond expectations, and the other party actually agreed. It was live broadcast on TV and online with graphics and text, for five million, and there was no script.

When Xu Rong was chatting with people before, he had heard about the Nandu interview, so it was hard to say whether he would be able to get off the stage or become disgraced.

But his integrity is not afraid of the shadow, as long as the other party dares to give money, he dares to do it.

Furthermore, after careful consideration, he still felt that actors cannot hide behind the scenes all the time, and it is appropriate to increase their exposure. After all, "Crossing Guandong" may be released in a few months, and he will participate in a column.

Interviews are also very necessary. As one of the creative staff, he has the responsibility and obligation to promote the new play.

Doesn’t the New Year’s drama, which is released on CCTV’s prime time slot, need publicity?

needed.

After signing the contract, Jin Fangfang immediately prepared past interview videos for this show, and at the same time brought the public relations department over to start all-round training for Xu Rong.

After watching the past interview videos in the company, Xu Rong fell silent.

The questions were quite cunning and harsh, and some big-name artists were asked to utter obscenities on the spot.

But since he accepted it, Xu Rong is not weak. As he said, he is not afraid of the shadow.

The point is, there is really a lot of money.

After signing the contract, Southern TV Station immediately started promoting it. After all, Xu Rong is the most popular actor in the South this year, and it is broadcast live. This time he will definitely make back his money.

It’s not just Xu Rong’s fans who are paying attention to this live broadcast.

Some friends in the industry called him one after another and earnestly suggested that he push it.

That column was so notorious that it might fail, and Xu Rong actually chose TV and online live broadcasts, leaving no room for change. The risk was too high.

Xu Rong thanked each other for their kindness one by one, analyzed the reasons why he accepted the call, and also told them that he was fully prepared.

But he never mentioned remuneration. In fact, he is not very interested in money. He is just promoting the release of "Crossing Guandong".

After a week of warm-up for Xu Rong's exclusive interview, he flew to the south with Jin Fangfang.

Before getting off the plane, Jin Fangfang still repeated to him the precautions bit by bit, what should be said, what should not be said, and what should be paid attention to.

Xu Rong felt that she was making too much fuss. The public relations team had been training him for two days, and he was prepared for all kinds of tricky questions that would come up one after another. He thought that he would have no problem handling it.

When we arrived at the TV station, the reception was quite warm. After all, TV and online text were broadcast live at the same time.

As the launch of the show approached, the Southern TV program team discovered something strange. The ratings actually increased steadily, catching up with the peak ratings of "Yangcheng" when it was released.

This is the first interview Xu Rong has participated in in the past six months, and it is a Nandu interview that celebrities talk about.

At the same time, Xu Rong's friends inside and outside his circle also sat in front of the TV and computer.

Xu Rong's choice was quite courageous, because they knew very well how ruthless Nandu's interviews were.

Those who care, those who watch the excitement and those who are waiting to see the joke have different thoughts.

After some pleasantries, after putting on makeup, and before entering the live broadcast room, Xu Rongcai met the host who was interviewing him.

The other person was tall, with short hair, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and a serious smile on his face. When he saw him coming, he stood up and said, "Hello, Teacher Xu, I am Yi Lijing."

Xu Rong seemed a little nervous, the muscles on his face were tense, and he said: "Hello, Teacher Yi."

Yi Lijing looked at Xu Rong and his manager, who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, smiled, and asked, "Mr. Xu, are you a little nervous?"

Xu Rong forced a smile and nodded shyly.

After the director signaled to turn on the camera and officially broadcast live, Yi Lijing blinked because she found that Xu Rong suddenly became less nervous, just like acting, and her body and face became quite relaxed in the blink of an eye.

But she didn't care much. Without three questions, she could guarantee that Xu Rong would never be able to maintain her current composure. She was as usual, her face was like a pool of stagnant water, and she asked in a flat tone: "You like to quarrel with reporters very much, is it for this?"

Bo position and exposure?"

Xu Rong smiled and said directly: "I never criticize others!"

"You have a strong heart." Yi Li was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile and said.

Huang Xiaoming looked at the confident Xu Rong on the TV, paused for a moment, and laughed loudly: "He is just teasing people."

Yi Lijing seemed to have quite a lot of experience in fighting with others. He paused and said, "Have you ever thought about coming here today? After all, the people I interviewed before were big names like Ge You and Gong Li."

"No." Xu Rong shook his head, his face became a little more serious, and he put away the smile on his face, "But you gave me a lot of money, so I have to come."

"Haha." Li Youbin, who paused filming, slapped his thigh and said to Zhao Junkai next to him, "Don't tell me yet, this guy is telling the truth."

Yi Lijing's face no longer looked as relaxed as before. She began to realize that Xu Rong had two skills when dealing with reporters, so she planned to soften her tone: "Do you think you are a good actor?"

Xu Rong said without thinking: "Yes, because I tried my best in every drama. Especially during the filming of "The Ming Dynasty", Teacher Ni Dahong gave me a great shock and taught me,

You have to be in awe of the show."

Yi Lijing remained expressionless. After Xu Rong finished speaking, he asked leisurely: "Then do you have any masterpieces?"

"Yangcheng Secret Post, Shanghai Beach."

Yi Li suddenly smiled, but quickly put it away and asked: "Do you think they count?"

Her sudden smile appeared on her expressionless face, and her uncertain tone was also quite intriguing. There are many meanings that you would be embarrassed to express.

Xu Rong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I think as a media practitioner, you have to be more confident. If it is not my masterpiece, why did you invite me?"

For the first time since the interview, Yi Lijing picked up the water glass in front of him and took a sip.

The live broadcast of pictures and texts on the Internet suddenly started to take off. It seemed that they were watching TV and commenting on the computer at the same time.

"Tactics drink water, tactics drink water."

"Hahaha, it's so embarrassing. Xu Rong, who doesn't quarrel with others, actually quarreled with Yi Lijing and drank water, hahaha."

Yi Li took a breath and put down the water glass. She planned to take a moment and asked, "How do you define a good actor?"

Xu Rong thought about this question for a while and then said: "I think a good actor must have talent. For actors, talent is more important than hard work. What's more, there is a sense of responsibility. Practitioners in any industry must have a sense of responsibility.

Being responsible for the audience, the living environment, the country, and history sounds false, but if you know enough about this industry, you will understand that I am right."

Yi Lijing nodded and asked casually, "Do you have any wishes or ideals regarding acting?"

"Oh." Li Youbin stopped smiling and sighed, "This hole is really big."

But he didn't worry too much because he could see from Xu Rong's previous answer that Xu Rong was prepared.

Xu Rong asked: "What ideals can we have? What ideals should we have?"

"For example, perform a masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation?"
