Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 100: You're looking for me now for a drama that won't start filming for several years?

After ordering this high-end custom-made suit.

Xu Yien received a call from Guo Hu. He came downstairs, but he didn't know which floor Xu Yien was on, so Xu Yien went downstairs to pick him up.

After going upstairs, they sat on the sofa and chatted for a while. Guo Hu said, "Yi En, a team saw your sample film of Lotus House. They are going to start a movie and they like you, but they have been unable to put together a team recently. Do you want to take a look?"

"Brother Hu, how can I take over when the team hasn't been assembled yet? What's the name of the show? Which company is investing? When will filming start? You have to tell me, otherwise I don't know how to take over."

Guo Hu said seriously, "It's also a martial arts drama. The original author's first choice was you, and then the second male lead had his eyes on the movie emperor Wang Qianyuan, and Shun Yao and the others also had their eyes on him. But the main thing is you, the author insisted on you to play the male lead Lu Yun."

"Lu Yun? Heroic Aspirations?" Xu Yien asked.

Guo Hu nodded and said, "That's right."

"I remember this drama was filmed before?"

"Yes, we did. Back in the early 2000s, we filmed a drama with many big names, including Noel Tuo, Pan Yueming, Gu Qianxi, Kristy Yang, Cecilia Yip, Zhang Tielin, Li Zixiong, and Wu Ma. However, when we were two-thirds through filming, the funding ran out, so the crew disbanded. Pan Yueming still feels bad that the drama was not completed and aired. If it had been, it might have been a classic.

Zhang Da Huzi wanted to film the show and had even reached a cooperation agreement with Anhui TV, but it was axed because the plot was a little too tight. It’s such a pity.”

Guo Hu finished speaking with emotion, but then asked: "Have you heard that sentence?"

Xu Yien asked back: "Which sentence?"

Guo Hu said: "Jin Yong has retired and Gu Long has passed away, but the heroes in the martial arts world remain. I think this play will become a classic. The producer is Zijun, and they are planning to find Yang Wenjun to be the director. As long as Yang Wenjun is confirmed.

The rest of the cast is definitely not bad. Sun Xiao originally chose Pan Yueming from the readers, and this time he's chosen you. As long as you play the role, you will definitely be able to perfectly portray the soul of the character of Lu Yun, just like Li Lianhua. Let me tell you, the original author has a very high opinion of you!"

"How high?" Xu Yien asked back.

Guo Hu said: "He said that just by standing there, without a single line of dialogue, you can make the audience feel the vicissitudes of Nouwen in the story. He couldn't imagine anyone else who is more suitable for Nouwen than you."

"Ah? So you are here to act as a lobbyist?" Xu Yien said with a smile on his face and a hint of teasing in his tone.

Guo Hu patted his knees, his eyes burning with rage: "The main thing is that this drama won't be filmed for a few years, so you should decide first. After all, they asked me to convince you, so you have to trust my judgment."

"Which platform is this drama from?"

Guo Hu said confidently, "It should be Tencent. Zijun has Tencent's investment. Tencent still has some enthusiasm for martial arts films. The sample film of Lotus Tower is very good this time, so of course they are jealous.

But it's not that easy to find a leading man for a martial arts drama, and you're their first choice. Don't worry, it may not be broadcast on CCTV, but when it's finished filming, it will definitely be on a first-tier satellite TV station, so you can rest assured!"

"Is that so?"

Guo Hu continued, "Others are not important, you are the most important! It should be launched in the next few years. As long as you give the order and agree to it, I will be able to explain it. The remuneration will definitely be the highest."

"Since there are no plans to start filming in the next few years, I will definitely take the job when the time comes. This is my promise to you. I think Director Yang Wenjun's level must be very good, but I don't know how he compares to you?" Xu Yien said with a smile.

At worst, I can just have fun with it when the time comes.

Tencent's big production of an S+ martial arts drama will be broadcast on a first-tier satellite TV station. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter. Just treat it as fun. There are too few good martial arts drama teams nowadays.

The group of people led by Zhang Jizhong have been filming martial arts dramas in recent years, such as Snow Mountain Flying Fox, which are extremely ugly. He himself does not appear in the mountains, but his team of apprentices shoots dramas based on the defense.

Guo Hu promised: "Yang Wenjun has directed The Crane Huating, and the investment is even bigger than that of Lotus Tower."

"Okay, okay, Brother Hu, I agreed to everything. You came here just to say that I agree to all these things. When the team is assembled and ready to start filming, come back to me and I will definitely shoot it. Is this the relationship between us?" Xu Yien was a little amused.

"Well, I heard that from Tencent's executives. After all, this thing hasn't been filed yet, so they don't dare to make it public. This show was rejected twice before. They won't give up, but they have to wait and see."

"Okay, okay, have you eaten, Brother Tiger?"

"not yet."

"Okay, let's go out to eat?"

"Row!"

After this little accident, Xu Yien sent Guo Hu home. What a joke. Xu Yien knew about this scene.

Xu Yien also knows that the original novel is quite classic.

Xu Yien also knew that the actors of the original time and space team had good investment.

The key point is that if this drama is not broadcast, who knows how it will be broadcast when it is?

Maybe by the time it is broadcast, the reputation will not be as good as Lotus Tower. Lotus Tower can be said to be one of the best martial arts dramas after 2010, and it is worthy of bragging, not to mention that the traffic actors have a battle between fans and haters on Douban.

It is quite impressive that the film started with a score of 8.0 despite the attacks from black fans and then gradually rose to a high score of 8.3. It is expected to continue to grow in the later period. The audience is still arriving in succession, so it may become a classic.

Who knows how the effect of "Heroes" will be before it airs, so let's just brush it off for now. Anyway, let's continue. When the time comes, just treat it as fun and satisfy your martial arts dream. This is a real male-oriented martial arts novel. Lu Yun is also quite sad. Although the author wrote the ending but never released it, it is obvious that it is a tragic ending, because this character has to die no matter how you look at it in the original work, which can be called "no end to death";
Let’s see what happens later.

Don’t worry, it is expected to start filming in 23, so there is still plenty of time.

When I dropped Guo Hu off at his apartment complex, he muttered to himself as he got out of the car, "Don't miss this great lineup! You have to know that an actor who fits the role perfectly to play this popular character will definitely be a killer and become a classic!"

"Okay, okay, we'll talk about it later, Brother Tiger."

After driving away, Xu Yien received a call from Li Yitong.

Li Yitong said awkwardly on the other end of the phone, "I have a script here, but it's said that filming won't start for a few years. Director Yang Wenjun, who previously worked with me on "Crane Huating," wants me to play the female lead. Director Yang said that the original author has chosen you, so he's determined you'll be the male lead. But it's hard to say how many years it will take for filming to start. Baby, do you think you should contact me?"

"Heroic Aspirations?"

"You know?" Li Yitong's tone was obviously surprised.

Xu Yien replied as a matter of course: "Of course I know. Brother Hu just came to my house and gave me a long speech wanting me to play the male lead. The key is that the script is available now, but there is no filing or platform preparation. I dare not act, not to mention that it will take a few years. Things after a few years will be considered a few years later."

"I also think what you said makes sense, but who knows if it's reliable?"

"exactly."

"Come to my house and cook for me." Li Yitong invited, and Xu Yien happily said, "Okay, I'll be here soon."

The degree of her exploitation was almost the same as Reba's, or even worse. Fortunately, Xu Yien was strong, otherwise he would not be able to deal with three people.

Halfway through the journey, Xu Yien called again and asked, "Do you have any vegetables at home? I'm going to buy some."

"Forget it, it's too much trouble."

"Trouble? Do you mean I shouldn't go over there?" Xu Yien was a little surprised.

"What are you thinking? I mean don't buy groceries and just come over. I can just grab some food online."

"Oh oh oh, that's it."

The next day, when leaving her house, Xu Yien felt refreshed and not sore at all, because he was mainly passively accepting it, which was very comfortable.

Liu Cheng sent me the itinerary, so I have something to do starting today.

This is an advertisement shoot for Harman Kardon, an audio company that sells speakers and headphones. Its subsidiary JBL's products sell well in China. Although Xu Yien uses Sony headphones on her computer, it does not prevent Xu Yien from endorsing JBL.

It’s like Jie Lun endorses the Emma electric car, but he drives a sports car every day.

The main purpose is to sell an image, and it is not necessary to use it.

Waiting for the employees to pick him up in a business car, Xu Yien said energetically when he got in the car: "Good morning, everyone!"

"Wow, boss, you look good today." Liu Cheng joked.

"Really? If you're in a good mood, you'll look better."

Fat Brother Fu said, "That boss must have been killing it last night! He's so handsome today."

"Bullshit, I can be handsome even without any hair. My hair is so greasy with a hat on. I'll just wash it in the studio." Xu Yien said with a smile.

Xia He patted her chest and said confidently, "You have to be handsome, otherwise why would you need me as a stylist? Xia Mei and I will ensure that your style always remains incredibly cool!"

Liu Cheng was speechless: "Your adjective doesn't seem to have much culture."

"That's what it sounds like." Xu Yien agreed.

After arriving at the studio provided by Harman Kardon, everyone immediately became serious and started busy shooting. Xu Yien is the spokesperson for the entire line and also the spokesperson for the parent company, so there are many products to shoot, such as advertisements for headphones, speakers, etc., and she also has to change clothes several times.

After shooting a blockbuster movie, you also have to shoot a video, which is quite mentally taxing.

There is a trick to making a blockbuster movie.

The larger the movement, the better the photo will look, provided that you pay attention to facial expression management when shooting, otherwise it will turn out to be a funny emoticon.

Just like those funny magazine blockbusters shot by Zhou Dongyu, they have been made into emoticons by Douyin users and are being madly criticized.

Recently, she has also been imitating Ni Ni's makeup style, and there are even netizens in the comment section saying "At first glance, it looks like Ni Ni!"

A real passerby said: "How surprising is this at first glance? I never dreamed that Zhou Dongyu could compare with Ni Ni in beauty."
