Huayu started by playing Lao Ai

Chapter 19: Be a Man with Generosity
After the hype some time ago, the TV series "Lüshi Chunqiu" is still quite popular.

There are more than a dozen media reporters attending the press conference today.

Of course, most of these media came here for Zheng Jing.

When the free question session started, a reporter immediately asked Zheng Jing a question.

"Hello, Zheng Jing. People are saying that you are Young Master Jing and have a strong family background. Can you respond to these rumors directly?"

Zheng Jing nodded and said, “Of course, I’m just an ordinary person from an ordinary family, nothing special.

By chance, I joined the crew of Lüshi Chunqiu.

As for Zhang Tielin not playing Lü Buwei, it was because they couldn't reach an agreement on the salary and he was unwilling to lower the price;

Ning Jing also refused to act on her own, it has nothing to do with me.

All the news out there is fake.”

Zheng Jing's clarification was very clear, but the reporters in the audience seemed to not quite believe it.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaowen added, “Yes, what Master Jing said is true.

Zhang Tielin and Ning Jing's rejection of our drama was their own personal choice.

It has nothing to do with Master Jing.

The character selection for Lüshi Chunqiu was all decided by me.

The main reason why Jing Shao was able to perform in Lüshi Chunqiu was because of his talent.

Not only did he offer many useful suggestions and help our crew improve the script, but his acting skills were also very good, making him very suitable for the role of Lao Ai.”

It would have been fine if Zhou Xiaowen didn't say anything, but when he started to add something, he seemed like Zheng Jing's little henchman.

There is a feeling of taking the blame for the big brother and trying hard to praise him.

How could the reporters believe that Zheng Jinghui had any talent, could change the script, and had good acting skills? It sounded fake.

What's more, for these reporters, the truth doesn't matter.

Under the current circumstances, reporting on Zheng Jing's background can attract more attention.

This is what they need.

If one day, reports that Zheng Jing’s background is fake can generate more traffic, they will immediately turn around.

This is the beauty of journalism.

As soon as Zhou Xiaowen finished speaking, a reporter immediately asked, "But Ning Jing suddenly changed her tone in a recent interview. She not only praised Zheng Jing, but also said that she regretted not starring in Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals and hoped to have a chance to work with Zheng Jing in the future.

Ning Jing is a well-known straightforward person in the entertainment industry, why did she give in? "

Ning Jing surrendered only because she saw Zheng Jing's appearance and thought of Lao Ai in her dream. There was no way to explain this.

Zheng Jing didn't know either, so he replied: "You should ask Ning Jing what she thinks. I don't know either."

The reporter was unwilling to give up after not finding the material he wanted, so he continued to ask, "So what do you think of Zhang Tielin's remarks?

He said that you bullied people by taking advantage of your power, drove away talented actors, and ruined a drama, and said that Lüshi Chunqiu would definitely be a bad movie.

This reporter's words are a mixture of true and false.

In fact, Zhang Tielin only said a few words to Zheng Jing at the very beginning.

After rumors about Zheng Jing's background spread, Zhang Tielin stopped speaking out.

He was not sure about Zheng Jing's background, so he chose to keep quiet.

However, the reporter's questions were also what Zheng Jing and the crew needed.

Zheng Jing immediately asked, "What is a talented actor? Does Zhang Tielin have any acting skills?
No matter what role he plays, he always looks the same with his beard puffed out and his eyes glared.

Not only does Zhang Tielin have no acting skills, he is also very arrogant. Relying on his fame and being a Great British, he asks for exorbitant prices in our China, demanding up to 10 yuan per episode.

I don't think he deserves the price.

What's more, Zhang Tielin is a foreigner who has no knowledge of Chinese history. If he is asked to play Lu Buwei, the show will definitely be a bad one.

Without Zhang Tielin, our crew can save on film remuneration and improve the quality of the script and costumes and props, so that we can produce a better TV series.

As Director Zhou introduced earlier, Lüshi Chunqiu is the TV version of Qin Song. Our crew is very confident that this TV series will become a fine drama, and even a benchmark work in Chinese historical adaptations.”

When the reporters heard Zheng Jing's evaluation of Zhang Tielin, they were all excited. This was very shocking news material.

Zheng Jing also said this on purpose, just to take advantage of Zhang Tielin's popularity and increase the popularity of Lüshi Chunqiu. Zhou Xiaowen and Qian Jianping also understood Zheng Jing's intention, and began to belittle Zhang Tielin in their subsequent speeches.

Although Zhang Tielin was very popular in the country at that time, he had no followers and his network was average.

Neither Zhou Xiaowen nor Qian Jianping were afraid of stepping on him.

After the launch conference, many people began to face up to Zhang Tielin’s acting problems.

Everyone found that what Zheng Jing said made a lot of sense.

Zhang Tielin's acting is indeed very good, no matter what role he plays, he always does it this way.

Path dependence has been developed.

Coupled with the controversy caused by Zhang Tielin's high pay, his image has declined a lot.

But Zhang Tielin still endured it and did not fight back.

This has reduced the hype effect of the "Lüshi Chunqiu" crew.

But it also made the name of "Mr. Jing" even more famous.

Zheng Jing criticized Zhang Tielin by name, but the other party did not dare to talk back. In addition, Ning Jing publicly surrendered. Doesn’t this show the power of Master Jing?
More and more people believe that Zheng Jing has an extraordinary background.

Even though Zheng Jing publicly said at the press conference that he was just an ordinary person from an ordinary family, no one believed it.

Zheng Jing did not pay attention to the disturbances in the outside world for the time being.

In terms of hype, he just started it, and Qian Jianping was responsible for the specific operations.

After the launch conference, Lüshi Chunqiu officially started filming.

The TV series did not follow the order of the script, but first filmed the childhood friendship between the young Lu Sheng and the young Lu Buwei.

Instead, they directly filmed the scenes of Lu Sheng and Yun Jiang first.

The first scene was the one Zheng Jing had experienced in the script world, where Lu Sheng helped Yun Jiang take care of her mother.

When the filming officially started, Zheng Jing received a prompt from the player panel.

[The first time a player joins a group and performs a role card scene, he will be rewarded with Lao Ai's talent - Born to be a great man.]

[The novice rewards have ended. Players are requested to continue their efforts and perform their roles well.

When the Lao Ai you play is recognized by more people, the character card may be upgraded and gain more talents and skills. 】

Lao Ai is the first character card Zheng Jing draws, and his two talents are almost a benefit for novices.

According to the instructions on the player panel, character cards are divided into three levels: white, silver and gold.

White cards have a maximum of one talent and one skill, silver cards have a maximum of two talents and two skills, and the upper limit for gold cards is three talents and three skills.

But the gold card cannot be drawn.

Only if Zheng Jing performs the role well and gets more recognition from the audience after the TV series is broadcast, the probability of the card being upgraded will be greater.

"Director Zhou, I caught a cold last night and have diarrhea.

Go to the toilet first."

The scene was about to start shooting when the actor had diarrhea. If it were an ordinary person, Zhou Xiaowen would have started scolding him a long time ago.

But when Zheng Jing acted like this, Zhou Xiaowen was not angry at all. He even asked with concern, "Mr. Jing, are you okay? How about we shoot other scenes first and take a rest?"

"It's okay, wait for me for ten minutes."

Zheng Jing felt a little numb all over his body, his pants were too small and he felt a little uncomfortable.

He went to the nearest restroom and used the toilet.

"A small step forward is a giant leap forward for civilization" is no longer meaningful to Zheng Jing.

He can't be too far forward, but he doesn't need to be too far forward either, otherwise he can be very civilized.

Zheng Jing was very excited. As a man, one should be more generous.

With a natural talent for greatness, Zheng Jing’s hardware peripherals are already in place.

With continuous practice, recreating the wheel-spinning skill is definitely not a dream.
