Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 5 The Investor Has Run Away
The character in this scene plays Ye Zun Shen Mian, who is also Shen Wei's younger brother.

Unlike Shen Wei, Xu Yien had to wear ancient costume. The stylist gave him a head of long gray-white dragon beard hair, making him look evil and handsome.

This character is obsessed with his brother. As Shen Wei attaches too much importance to Zhao Yunlan, Shen turns evil when faced with bullying from his rivals who calls him "a piece of trash that even his brother doesn't want". He becomes the mastermind behind everything and dies together with Shen Wei in the end. The audience is fed up with it.

It’s only when we are filming the costume scenes.

There is some bad news from the crew.

The investor withdrew his investment and ran away.

Everyone in the crew was extremely anxious.
Let’s do it.

The big-budget web series has become a poor little web series. Zhou Yuanzhou walked up to Bai Yu and Xu Yien, sighed, and said, "Brothers, from now on you can only wear your own clothes to act. The crew can only increase revenue and reduce costs now, but I hope everyone can overcome this difficulty together and complete this drama together."

Bai Yu spoke first: "I am the first actor confirmed by the crew, and I will accompany the crew to the end."

After saying that, they both looked at Xu Yien.

Xu Yien also spoke up and said, "Of course I have to do my best in my first film as the male lead. Everyone is so nice to me, aren't they?"

"Hahahaha, okay! Let's overcome this difficult time together!" Zhou Yuanzhou hugged the two of them in turn.

It’s not uncommon for actors to run away due to the crew running out of funds. Seeing the two of them like this, Zhou Yuanzhou was quite pleased. It was worth his careful teaching of you for the past month.

The reason why "Guardian" was not criticized like "The Untamed" and "Word of Honor" and other dramas is that those two are still promoting their CP.

Soul Guardian was honestly changed from a BL drama to a fantasy drama. After the show was broadcast, the actors also moved forward in the direction of acting skills and brought good works to the audience.

The audience will naturally not hate it.

After that, Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan's luxury clothes became their private attire. Fortunately, they had all been actors for so long that their private clothes looked acceptable.

Since he is too obscure and has no schedule, Xu Yien has been working hard on the set. Without resources such as variety shows, magazines, and fashion, filming is his only way out. Even though Reba and he have hyped up a scandal, it is of no use except making him familiar to the onlookers and making some CP fans start to support him.

Acting is still good.

But now Xu Yien doesn’t even have a business car, and even his rest time is in Bai Yu’s RV.

Oh, it’s really hard to refuse the kindness of my good friend Bai Yu.

His girlfriend is Liu Mengmeng, who plays Nuolan. They are very much in love and have been dating for many years. Xu Yien is still a little envious. Maybe this is love.

Li Chan would come over from time to time to introduce resources to Zhu Yilong and Xu Yien, but they still had to audition to observe their acting skills.

In fact, the main reason is that she is too obscure. If she were really famous, at best she would just meet once. Why would she need an audition?
Li Chan pulled out two scripts and said, "These are the two crews you're going to interview for. One is Kiwi's 'River God', and the other is Tencent's 'Love Knot: A Thousand Years Old Master's First Love'. Kiwi's is for the male lead of the web series, and Tencent's is for the second male lead. It depends on which aspect you want to focus on. Sister Li's ability is limited. She can't get the big-name male lead, and she doesn't like B-level male leads. Sigh."

"Thank you, Sister Li, for your help along the way. I'll choose the River God. When is the interview time?"

"Next Monday."

"I understand, Sister Li."

For an actor on the rise, the company's attention and resource allocation are actually extremely important.

Dongfang Feiyun obviously values ​​Zhu Yilong more, while Xu Yien comes second.

There was no other reason. Zhu Yilong had signed a 35-year contract, while Xu Yien only signed five. Not to mention, Dongfang Feiyun itself had few resources. Their own dramas had mediocre ratings, and they couldn't promote new talent, so they were becoming increasingly stingy. Even these resources were negotiated by Li Chan herself with the production company.

Because Xu Yien is handsome and cheap, in this era of inflated film pay, he can be said to be extremely cost-effective. The key is that his acting skills are also acceptable. As for the lack of traffic?
This is wrong.

If a TV show or film wanted to choose traffic, it would have chosen traffic long ago. They wouldn't even take a look at a nonsensical person like Xu Yien. This is an invalid question.

Even if "River God" is not that popular, it can still help accumulate some acting skills. It will not be a loss to go for the name Tianxia Bachang, not to mention that it is produced by the Kung Fu Opera Company. The works of this company have always been of high quality and marketable.

Another play.
The show is not good, the actors' acting skills are not good, nothing is good. There is no traffic and the acting skills cannot be proven. It can be said to be an ineffective show. At most, it maintains the popularity of the actors themselves. If Xu Yien plays the second male lead, there will be no topic at all.

Caring about gains and losses is a subtle instinct of human beings. Even Xu Yien, who claims to be a Buddhist, cannot avoid it. The Buddhism is pretended, and the ambition to be career is real.

After Li Chan left, Xu Yien returned to the crew. Bai Yu, with his hands in his leather jacket pockets and a lollipop in his mouth, asked curiously, "Was that your agent just now?"

"Correct."

"Do you have a new play?"

"There is a new drama, but I need to audition. I am not well-known and I know that." Xu Yien was not discouraged. After playing the role of Soul Guardian, he would have everything he deserved.

"Alas, I can't help you either. All we have to do now is leave a good reputation on every crew. We don't ask the director for help with publicity, we just hope that the director will remember us when filming."

What Bai Yu said makes a lot of sense.

Xu Yien also smiled and said, "I hope so."

"So what play did you receive the interview notice for?"

"A web series from Kiwi called River God."

“This project doesn’t seem to be well-known.”

Xu Yien chuckled: "If you know every project, then you are really good."

"Maybe that's right? Haha, let's go eat and take a walk."

The two of them were arm in arm, eating their boxed lunches together during lunch break.

Originally, there were shrimps in the lunch box, but now there is not even a chicken leg.

Bai Yu sighed and said, "Looks like we'll have to go get hot pot tonight at our own expense. We can't mistreat anyone but our own stomach. But are you single? What about you and Dilraba Dilmurat?"

"It's just hype. We're just ordinary friends. Do you think she'll like me like this?" Xu Yien said with a smile.

"I like you. It's so cool to support you, especially with your contrast. Last time when you took off your clothes, your eight-pack abs shocked me. How come your face and body are completely unrelated? When people work out, their faces become sharper, but you're the only one who remains the same."

"I exercise occasionally, but I fish more often."

"I've heard people say you never catch much when you fish, you're just wasting time."

"Sometimes when I'm not fishing, I play mobile games and check Weibo."
