This man knows how to hype

Chapter 357: Mr. Xu's acting range is so narrow that it makes people envious
It turns out.

Li Mingbiao, the director of "The Beginning", is not the only one who has genius ideas.

Just now, Xu Xiyu had just "checked into a hotel" with someone in "The Beginning".

Soon after, he was pulled into "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and also made a cameo appearance as a passerby, and the scene in which this passerby appeared.

It was in the corridor of the KTV where Wang Duoyu sang for the last time. He played a guest who was singing with girls hugged by both sides, and he also flashed in front of the camera.

That’s right, Xu Xiyu failed to play the role of “Wang Leehom” in “The Richest Man in Xihong City”, and this role was played by Liu Weichi.

Who is Liu Wei Chi? He is roughly equivalent to Andy Lau.

Inviting him over would naturally be more convincing.

Moreover, it can also form a linkage between "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "Infernal Affairs". Therefore, Wang Pengpeng, who plays Wang Duoyu, also has a cameo in "Infernal Affairs".

Of course, the guest character has very few shots, and like Xu Xiyu, he is a "passerby" character.

After that, the directors of Hua Qing's projects, as if they had discussed it in a small group in private, not only did they want Xu Xiyu to make a cameo appearance, but the guest roles were all of the same type.

In "New Paradise: Wangxian", he plays a "romantic tourist" who goes to the "Dengxian Tower" in the paradise to experience flower arranging and jade playing.

In "Langya Bang", Xu Xiyu is still a "romantic young man", but this time the location has been changed to "Yangliuxin" (a brothel in Langya Bang).

Even in "Infernal Affairs", it was the same, he walked past the protagonist with his arms around a beautiful girl.

After this round of guest appearances, Shan Xinbao almost laughed to death.

"Boss, your acting range is too narrow."

"I'm just a supporting role, how can I talk about my acting career?" Xu Xiyu said, and the "foreign language enthusiast" Chen Qingquan emerged in his mind.

This person's acting range is so narrow, so narrow that it makes people envy.

"Hey, if the audience watches all these works and finds that the characters you play are all of the same type, what will be their reaction?"

"However you react now, that's how the audience will react." Xu Xiyu shrugged.

"Haha, geese, geese, geese, geese, geese..." When Shan Xinbao heard this, he laughed like a goose.

Listening to her goose-like cry, Xu Xiyu shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, after he played these cameo roles, apart from people like Shan Xinbao, there were definitely some haters who said he was "taking advantage of the opportunity" and "using the opportunity of filming to develop an improper relationship".

This cannot be avoided.

The reason why he knew this effect would occur but was still willing to make a cameo appearance was very simple. Firstly, it was to increase the popularity of the movie.

Secondly, all the guest stars who appeared with her were new female employees of the company.

At that time, someone will definitely take inventory, and the inventory process is equivalent to exposing these newcomers.

Sometimes, for an artist, taking part in certain hot topics can bring much higher exposure than starring in an unknown TV series.

Therefore, all the newcomers in the company, regardless of gender, as long as they had a suitable image, were sent to Parallel Chongcai to be face models for games.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu almost burst into tears.

I, Xu, am indeed a good boss. For the sake of my employees' careers, I am willing to sacrifice my own reputation and take all aspects into consideration.

This is so fucking touching.

No, I have to let Shan Xinbao cry for me, otherwise it won’t be enough to create this “tragic” atmosphere.

As he was thinking this, he could actually hear Shan Xinbao crying next to him: "Wuwuwuwu...Puwuwupu..."

“???” Xu Xiyu turned his head in confusion.

"I laughed too loudly. A bug flew into my mouth...呸呸呸呸呸..." Shan Xinbao made a sad face and started to rinse his mouth with water.

"Huh? Ha, ha ha ha ha..." Now it was Xu Xiyu's turn to laugh.

This smile lasted until mid-May.

At this time, "The Beginning", "The Richest Man in Xihong City", "Infernal Affairs" and "New Paradise: Wangxian" have all been completed and officially entered the post-production stage.

Currently, only Nirvana in Fire and the upcoming Intouchables will be filming in Hong Kong. Such a fast progress naturally caused a lot of discussion among colleagues.

However, some people had other ideas.

Beijing.

In a certain villa.

Hu Ningwei's cousin Li Yiguang was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, listening to the report from the person next to him.

Ever since the last time his mother Du Zhiping talked to him in the car about how good Xu Xiyu and Hu Ningtian were and how she was inferior to them in every way.

He was never in a good mood and even lost interest in looking for a woman.

Originally, he was planning to use some means to subdue Xu Xiyu and make him crawl at his feet, so as to prove to Du Zhiping that he was just not serious before. But now, Xu Xiyu knelt down with just a slight move.

But during the Chinese New Year, Xu Xiyu and Hu Ningwei's public tour of Chimelong made him completely give up this idea.

At the beginning, he and his mother tried every means to use Xu Xiyu to sow discord between Hu Ningwei and Hu Ningtian.

Looking back, I found that I didn't need to add any unnecessary details.

After the Chinese New Year, my cousin went straight to her grandfather to replace her with a group of personal guards. She didn't keep any of the driver, security guard, or personal assistant that Hu Ningtian had given her before.

Whenever he thought of this, Li Yi Guang would tap his toes on the ground.

Because the current situation further demonstrates how stupid what he did at that time was.

If I hadn't done that in the first place and hadn't fallen out with Xu Xiyu.

Then, at this time, I should become the "Idea King" who gives advice to Xu Xiyu and Hu Ningwei, and there is a lot of room for maneuver.

"Mr. Li, this is the current situation. Is there anything else you need to know?" The voice of the report interrupted Li Yiguang's wandering thoughts.

He came back to his senses, and after digesting the information for a while, he said, "According to you, the filming of 'The Beginning' by Xu Xiyu now is not considered a science fiction theme at all?"

"Based on the information we have so far, it is considered soft science fiction. However, there is still controversy over the boundaries and definition of science fiction, both in China and in the world."

"In other words, the science fiction label announced by Xu Xiyu when the filming started is likely to be considered false advertising by the audience?" Li Yiguang grasped the key point.

Have a dispute?
Doesn’t the existence of disputes mean that there is room for maneuver?
The person reporting the story nodded and said, "At present, it seems like this. The long-standing stereotype makes people think that interstellar, high-tech and other elements are considered science fiction.

That is to say, in many people’s minds, only scenes in the future can be considered science fiction. “The Beginning” is actually a story about a time loop, but the script we got shows that its focus is not on explaining the reason for the loop.

It tells the stories of different characters. In other words, it explores humanity and society. In terms of quality, I personally think it is quite high and in line with Xu Xiyu's consistent creative level.

However, due to the subject matter labels published by "The Beginning" and "New Paradise: Wangxian", some discussion has been generated on the Internet.

Coupled with the reputation he had accumulated before, many viewers mistakenly believed that the content of "The Beginning" and "New Paradise: Wangxian" was filmed.

It’s similar to “The Apocalypse” or other traditional science fiction works from abroad. Therefore, I think there is a high probability that there will be a gap, thus affecting the data.”

As soon as these words came out, Li Yiguang suddenly sat up from his chair.

OK OK.

It's good to have a gap.

If Xu Xiyu could be brought down, even if it didn't benefit me at all, it would be a refreshing thing.

What's more, it may not be without benefits.

Thinking of this, Li Yiguang's eyes turned and said, "By the way, is "New Paradise: Wangxian" considered science fiction?"

"Okay." The reporter nodded without any hesitation.

Seeing him so sure, Li Yiguang was a little disappointed.

But the next second, the reporter said, "Not really. Or rather, in the eyes of many viewers, New Paradise: Wangxian may not be considered a science fiction work."

"Why is this?" Li Yiguang asked puzzled.
