The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 132 Expanding Xu Xing's Comfort Zone
Fortunately, before coming, Xu Xing told director Cheng Weihao that her agent did not allow her to come to the nightclub, and hoped that he could help instruct them not to take pictures of her at the party.

There's plenty of time to take a group photo after the camera starts up.

When Lee Seung-ri came in just now, Xu Xing also noticed that no one used their mobile phone to take a photo of themselves and Lee Seung-ri.

Fortunately, Xu Xing has more than one WeChat account.

I logged into another WeChat account that I hadn’t used for a long time and added friends.

"…How do you write '幸'?"

Li Shengli asked awkwardly but politely.

"Just note XX."

Xu Xing said with a smile.

Seeing that he had noted "XX", Xu Xing felt further reassured and took the initiative to ask.

"Senior, are you here for a tour?"

In case he asks for a photo again according to the classic process.

Lee Seung-ri put away his phone and said no, he just came to have fun. He also said that he had always wanted to meet Heo Xing, and he regretted that Heo Xing did not go to YG Entertainment as a trainee, otherwise she would definitely have debuted in YG. He also cursed SM a few words.

While chatting with him and praising "MADE", Xu Xing informed Sun Man to call him in three minutes.

Lee Seung-ri also politely praised Heo Xing's song.

Then--

"It will be over soon. Do you want to go play together?"

Li Shengli smiled obscenely and made a hip-thrusting motion.

Simple and direct way to detect like-minded people.

Xu Xing continued to play his introverted character and simply shook his head.

"Uh, Senior, actually I don't like——"

"Oh, I see. Sorry."

Li Shengli suddenly realized and apologized immediately.

In fact, he had learned about Xu Xing before and heard about Xu Xing's scandals. He thought that Xu Xing should like to play.

Then he thought about it for a moment and was about to speak again.

Xu Xing's phone rang.

at last!

After answering the phone, Xu Xing apologized to everyone else present and said that his agent had something urgent to discuss with him. He also politely declined Lee Seung-ri and others' idea of sending him away.

Wearing a baseball cap and a mask, Xu Xing left the nightclub through the back door.

This sudden attack... really frightened Xu Xing.

Fortunately, when I got back, Aunt Zhiling had just gotten up and hadn't left yet.

Xu Xing asked her to change into the outfit of an angel in white, and then she comforted herself by entering the mode of a caring older sister.

Then there was the late night female anchor, and then...

……

I enjoyed it very much after two days of riding.

I feel like it was more enjoyable than the half month I spent with Nazha.

Nazha just didn't listen to Xu Xing. She was really too thin, and she didn't have Aunt Zhiling's coordination and clever ideas to complete the task as well.

I hope she can continue to grow in the future!
Therefore, at the opening ceremony of "Witness", Xu Xing, whose body and mind had been thoroughly cleansed, was in extremely high spirits.

Then when it came time for the actual shooting——

"I think you can try to hunch your back a little bit, Ah Xing. Your face is ridiculously handsome to begin with. Even with the ugly makeup and the ugly hairstyle, you are still handsome! Bend your back and hold back your handsome aura. I'll see the effect.

"How could Maggie not like you now? Even if she were Qiu's lover, she would still want to eat you, a handsome guy! Right, Maggie!"

The director turned around and asked Xu Weining.

——In this movie, the male protagonist Xiao Qi (Wang Yiqi), played by Xu Xing, is a newspaper reporter and a bootlicker of his boss Maggie.

Maggie is the extramarital lover of the newspaper boss, Brother Qiu.

The actress who played Maggie was Xu Weining. In the film, in order to piss off Brother Qiu, she went to bed with Xiao Qi.

"Of course," Xu Weining immediately made a lecherous expression and said, "I really feel like I'm being looked down upon right now! I can't help but want to turn around and chase after her!"

Last night she originally felt that there was an undercurrent between her and Xu Xing, but after Xu Xing left early so abruptly, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Xu Xing was not interested in her.

The others nearby laughed.

In the crew of the island province, they would make very direct jokes, and this is just the most subtle one.

Various kinds of flirting are very common, and there is no sense of boundaries between the two parties.

Xu Xing had no choice but to try to hunch his back slightly.

"This still doesn't feel right," Cheng Weihao rubbed his face, "How about this, let's shoot the last scene first, Xiao Qi is promoted to director, it's no problem for Xiao Qi to become handsome during this time. Then, A Xing, don't shave for a few days, see if you can look sloppy. How fast are you growing?"

Before the filming of this drama started, Xu Xing had been filming in the mainland and the schedule was very tight, so he did not go to the island province in advance to design his look.

"It will probably become obvious in two days—"

"Wow! He's growing so fast, his hair must be really thick! And he's in such a good shape, he must be very strong!"

Someone interrupted.

"..."

Xu Xing scratched his head.

The people around laughed again.

...This atmosphere is better than having a stern face every day.

Then let’s shoot the final scene first.

"Witness" is a movie with many twists and turns.

In the movie, Xiao Qi was a loser in the newspaper at the beginning. Once he was rushing to publish a news but an accident happened, he was blamed and kicked out of the newspaper. In order to take revenge on his boss Zhongwen who kicked him out, and just when he found out that he had bought an accident car nine years ago, he began to investigate a car accident nine years ago.

He took photos of the scene, but Zhongwen deleted several of them. He thought there must be something hidden.

Then Xiao Qi continued to investigate and found that Maggie was not a good person, and Brother Qiu was not a good person. They were both related to the car accident that year. In the end, the murderer exposed that he was not a good person either. So Xiao Qi lost his conscience, accepted Brother Qiu's bribery, and became the director.

The last scene is when Xiao Qi takes office and meets Maggie who comes to attend his press conference. At this time, Xiao Qi already knows that it was Maggie who kicked him out of the newspaper.

The two most important scenes are a private conversation with Maggie and a joke at a press conference.

"Xiao Ming likes to collect ghost stories very much. On the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, he found a bookstore that specializes in selling ghost stories and asked the owner to buy the scariest ghost story in the store. The owner gave him a copy, told him not to turn to the last page, and charged him one thousand yuan.

"After returning home, Xiao Ming couldn't wait and turned directly to the last page, which read: Suggested retail price: 15 yuan."

Xu Xing stared at Xu Weining who was sitting across the conference table.

His eyes were fixed on her.

His nose twitched.

long after.

Suddenly he laughed.

Xu Weining, who had been expressionless on the opposite side, smiled disapprovingly and shook her head slightly. The more she smiled, the more disapproving she became.

The smile on Xu Xing's face gradually faded, his eyes fixed, and then he grinned again.

"Crack!"

"So cool! A Xing!"

Director Cheng Weihao came over and patted Xu Xing's shoulder excitedly.

Earlier, Xu Xing couldn't get into the role of the loser Xiao Qi that he wanted. He was already prepared for the male lead of the movie to be offline and to shoot the parts of other people as well as possible.

This is how you serve big names.

But for this final scene, Xu Xing achieved 70% to 80% of the effect he had in mind on the first take.

Especially the last smile, the eyes were mocking before the smile was retracted, the smile was slightly tense, and then through the change of eyes, when he smiled again, the smile was more relaxed, but the eyes were extremely scary.

The character of Xiao Qi was made more three-dimensional and vivid in the end.

Maggie, who was originally worth a thousand dollars in his mind, is now worth only fifteen dollars, and the same is true for himself in his mind. However, he still has some remnant of unwillingness and anger at his own degeneration that he cannot vent.

The anger provoked by the taunts of Maggie on the opposite side.

I only have fifteen dollars left, and I’m still thinking about the thousand dollars I lost.

As expected of someone who is used to playing handsome guys, even in such a pretentious moment, he can handle the complex emotions very well.

Director Cheng Weihao finally felt that Xu Xing's nomination for Best Actor was a sure thing.

The next day, when they went to film Xiao Qi talking to Maggie alone and made it clear that he was no longer her bootlicker, Xu Xing performed even better.

The contempt for Maggie and the hatred for his own decision, it's all perfect!

what a shame.

There are only two scenes where others come to lick Xiao Qi, leaving too little comfort zone for Xu Xing.

On the third day, the makeup artist tried a fake beard on Xu Xing, and it looked weird.

So, Cheng Weihao told Xu Xing that he decided to modify the script and change Xiao Qi's character to one that is handsome but is always being manipulated by Maggie.

Expand Xu Xing’s comfort zone.

Maggie is Qiu Ge's lover while being Xiao Qi's good sister. This bad woman has become even worse.

Finally, when Xiao Qi discovered Maggie's true face, he became even more angry.

That is to say, Xu Weining's role will be increased, allowing her to interact more with Xu Xing.

It’s hard to say whether the company behind her has made an effort, but the idea seems to be correct.

Xu Weining does have a very good relationship with the director.

She was nominated for Best Actress at this year's Golden Horse Awards for her role in Cheng Weihao's film "The Little Girl in Red".

The two have collaborated many times.

So the crew fine-tuned the script while filming.

Then on the afternoon of December 12, the crew stopped working because this year's Golden Horse Awards ceremony would be held the next day.

Director Cheng and Xu Weining will both be attending, and Xu Xing will also attend on behalf of "Detective Chinatown" to show support.

In the evening, Xu Xing attended a gathering of the mainland film industry.

In this year's Golden Horse Awards, the mainland was even stronger than last year, with the Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress awards all going to mainland China.

This is a small year sandwiched between the two big years of last year and next year, and the only film that supports the show is Feng Xiaogang's "I Am Not Madame Bovary".

The one who will win the Best Actor award is Fan Wei, and Xu Xing took the initiative to talk to him more.

As for the two best actresses, Ma Sichun took the initiative to talk to Xu Xing.

Zhou Dongyu probably had a bad impression of Xu Xing after she became indifferent because President Qu had already contacted her team before telling her that he wanted her to act in "Want to See You".

Xu Xing just ignored her.

Another person who talked a lot with Xu Xing was Teacher Fan Bingbing.

Fame nourishes people, and now Teacher Fan should be at his most popular.

Originally, she was criticized for outshining the marketing staff on the carpet, but she gained more popularity in the era of traffic, and with the support of Huayi, she has the best resources in the circle.

But what’s rare is that Teacher Fan doesn’t seem to have a bad temper, at least not in front of Xu Xing.

Especially compared to Zhou Dongyu.

He chatted very actively and praised Xu Xing in various ways.

He was a talented, handsome man, so popular that she envied him and couldn't help wanting to work with him. She wished her brother was like Xu Xing.

Perhaps because her relationship with her boyfriend is very stable, Xu Xing did not sense any ambiguous atmosphere from her.

The conversation was very natural.

But after the banquet,

【Hey~】

Teacher Fan Bingbing, who I just added as a friend, sent me a WeChat message.
