Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 18: Brother Long's Recommendation

Zhou Yuanzhou praised Xu Yien and Bai Yu highly in the circle, and such reputation attracted the attention of many other project directors in the circle.

According to Zhou Yuanzhou's description, these two actors basically have no shortcomings and may become very popular. They can be cultivated as stocks, not to mention that they don't care about pay and ranking.

Nowadays, any drama with a little fame can gross over 10 million.

Mao Xiaotong is not popular, right?

Even her pay for a film is over 10 million, not to mention those top stars.

As long as the four big and three small actors don't take the initiative to lower their prices to lick the pie, their remuneration will be more than 80 yuan per episode.

Qin Zhen and Yang Huan also kept mentioning in the circle how dedicated and serious Xu Yien in the group was in acting.

A reputation accumulated bit by bit.

It can actually be transformed into resources.

For example, Zhu Yilong has filmed so many dramas, and all the directors have praised him. He recently won the role of the second male lead, Young Master Qi Heng, in "The Story of Minglan".

The character's personality is also very good. He is the most handsome man in Beijing. I believe he will be loved by the audience when the show is broadcast.

This is the importance of word-of-mouth within the circle.

Those who take this path are waiting to be chosen.

Top streamers are generally those who can make their own choices.

This is also the reason why actors are scrambling to become famous, more money, better resources, a bigger team, and even tailor-made roles and control of the crew alone.

Just a piece of advice: don't take on a job if you don't have the skills.

For example, the reputation of Tan Tai Jin and Song Yan is terrible now. It depends on whether their subsequent works can change the audience's bad impression of them.

Now a few directors have called Li Chan, wanting Xu Yien to audition, but unfortunately the filming schedule of Chang Xiang Si is very heavy. Li Chan helps to read the script and usually declines the audition invitations for these bad scripts.

She will still see whether the script is bad or not, not to mention that even if the script is not bad, there is a risk of whether the film will be bad or not.

Otherwise, how could so many top stars also have bad dramas?
Either they were fooled, or their acting was really bad.

But Xu Yien has his own ideas after all.

Talked to Li Chan.

Tell her not to refuse without authorization.

Xu Yien’s idea was, what if there was a chance of getting a bargain?

Some dramas are impossible to become popular from the perspective of the current circle, but there are always exceptions, such as the previous "Go Princess Go" is proof of this.

Not to mention that "River God", which I interviewed for some time ago, is currently considered a "three-no" production.

You should know that Guo Deyou’s first choice for River God was Jin Shijia at the beginning, but he was rejected by Jin Shijia after reading the script. In the end, Jin Shijia chose to play the second part because the drama became popular. Isn’t this uncomfortable?
Not to mention that the second part wasn't as successful as the first.

Picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.

"There's something else I want to tell you."

"What?" Xu Yien asked on the other end of the phone.

"Yilong was chosen by Nanpai Sanshu to star in the "Restart of the Extreme Sea Listening to Thunder", an adaptation of the Lost Tomb IP. Nanpai Sanshu personally supervised the production, and the crew there requested that the actor not be too famous.

I just want a low salary and good acting skills that fit the character's personality. Yilong was thinking of you, so I recommended you. Go there next month to interview for the role of Zhang Qiling. With your ability, you will definitely get it."

"Guo Deyou didn't win last time. Sister Li, don't be so confident in me."

"Last time was last time, this time is this time. You are Xiangliu, the special starring role personally chosen by the Chang Xiang Si crew and the original author Tong Hua. Seize the opportunity. Yilong is also very good to you."

"I'll find a chance to thank Brother Long."

"You should thank me too. Remember to treat us to a meal when the crew finishes filming." Li Chan said with a smile. Xu Yien also happily agreed.

The reputations of both "The Lost Tomb" and "The Lost Tomb" are considered to be relatively good adaptations of the Tomb Raiders series, but the one with the best reputation has to be "Ultimate Notes". That version of Zhang Qiling can be said to be the one that book fans are most satisfied with.

Not seeking to surpass Xiao Yuliang.

But at least it has to surpass the previous versions by VV and Boran, otherwise it would be a shame to recommend it to Teacher Zhu.

Before the audition, Xu Yien did not receive the script. If he was given a script, it either meant it had already been decided, or the crew valued him very much and asked him to consider it.

As for Xu Yien not meeting the above conditions, he will have to go for the audition honestly when the time comes.

This is easy to understand.

Because you got the script, put in the effort, and even had plastic surgery, but in the end you were not chosen, then you will be furious, and the crew will also suffer. The crew will be scolded for no reason. It was clearly an audition, but you ended up having your bones shaved. In the end, you have to blame me for not being chosen.

So that’s how it is these days, you’ll be shown the script after you’re selected.

Even if you are not selected, don't lose your composure. Keep a balanced mindset. It will be hard to explain to your parents if you become a psychopath in the circle.

Seeing Xu Yien sitting in the waiting area with a silly smile, Deng Wei said with a smile: "What good things are you thinking about?"

Xu Yien chuckled: "A good friend introduced me to a script."

"congratulations."

"Don't be too quick to congratulate me, you still have to interview me later."

"It's okay, everyone is like this." Deng Wei chuckled.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with him himself, but what Zhang Wanyi said about his team is also true. The image of an actor is not made up of the actor himself, and the bad things done by the team should of course be blamed on the actor.

Xu Yien treats his colleagues in the crew in a friendly manner.

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.

As for Xiangliu, will he be protected by the other male protagonists in the same crew?
That's not clear.

Explosion-proof, explosion-proof, the more you prevent, the more explosions there will be. Those who are destined to be popular will always be popular. Explosion-proof is also to filter out those non-target customer groups who follow the crowd without thinking and believe in the rhythm of keyboard warriors.

Deng Wei asked curiously, "What role are you auditioning for?"

"A TV series adapted from the IP of The Lost Tomb."

"This is a pit. There are so many versions, and none of them can satisfy the fans."

"This time, the production is supervised by Uncle San himself. Generally, bad dramas are not produced by authors themselves. Look, Teacher Tong Hua is in the crew, the crew is pretty good."

"Yeah, who are you interviewing then?"

"Zhang Qi Ling."

"Why are all the roles you're offered cold and ruthless roles, like Xiangliu and Zhang Qiling? I think you'd be better off playing cheerful characters, especially those modern idol dramas with sunny male protagonists."

"Someone has to look for me too." There was a hint of bitterness in Xu Yien's words, but his expression was indeed smiling.

Deng Wei also sighed softly: "Your company still doesn't have much strength. My company supports me, provides me with all kinds of resources, and has also set a good image for me. If I could be like you, who has both acting skills and looks handsome, I would be more comfortable."

"We envy each other because we can't understand each other's difficulties, just like it's hard for me to understand your thoughts."

"Yes."

Deng Wei was envious when he heard this.

He didn't even think about it. Among the four male protagonists in this crew, his acting was the worst.
If no one supports you, you won't get this role.
