Huayu: The young actress is heavily dependent on me

Yu Zheng and Jing Tian walked to the offering table together, each grabbing a corner of the red cloth.

A group of cameras surrounded the room, and the shutter clicked incessantly.

"Three, two, one—"

The red cloth was pulled down, revealing a golden plaque underneath, bearing the four large characters "Ban Shu Legend," its paint gleaming.

A round of applause erupted.

Then comes sending red envelopes.

Yu Zheng personally delivered the message, carrying a bulging red cloth bag.

He would walk up to each person, hand them a red envelope, and say something like "Thank you for your hard work" or "Give it your best performance."

When Chen Li was at the back of the line, Yu Zheng saw him and was clearly taken aback, obviously not recognizing him.

The assistant director next to him quickly came over and whispered a reminder:

"Teacher Yu, this is the actor playing Kou Feng. He was just confirmed a couple of days ago."

Yu Zheng said "Oh," looked Chen Li up and down, and lingered on his face for a second.

"His appearance is quite good." He nodded, took a red envelope from his cloth bag, and handed it to him.

"Perform well."

"Thank you, Teacher Yu."

Chen Li accepted the red envelope with both hands, walked to the side, and took the opportunity to secretly peek at the amount inside.

A twenty-yuan banknote was folded in half and stuffed inside.

really.

Just like the legend says.

Yu Zheng's production team always gives a 20 RMB red envelope at the start of filming, regardless of whether you're a top star or a background extra.

The guy playing the eunuch next to me opened it, glanced at it, pursed his lips, and stuffed it back into his pocket.

Chen Li didn't think it was a big deal.

Twenty yuan is still money; it's enough to buy two bowls of Lanzhou noodles.

He carefully slipped the red envelope into the inside pocket of his down jacket and zipped it up.

Dilraba walked over, holding a red envelope in her hand, and waved it at him.

How much do you have?

"twenty."

"Me too."

She put the red envelope in her pocket and sighed.

"Teacher Yu is truly... thrifty and good at managing the household."

"That's called fairness," Chen Li said.

"What's so fair about it?" Dilraba said in a low voice.

"Jing Tian's red envelope was obviously thicker than ours. I saw it when I was standing next to her, and I estimated it to be at least two hundred."

Chen Li thought for a moment:

"That's probably because she has to perform in more than 800 shows, and the extra one is the overtime pay for 180 shows."

Dilraba burst out laughing.

When taking the group photo, Chen Li consciously stood in the last row.

In the front row, Yu Zheng, Jing Tian, ​​and Zhang Zhehan occupy the center position.

Fu Xinbo, Li Jiahang, Li Sheng and other leading actors stood on both sides.

Zhang Xinyu stood in the second row, on the side.

She didn't wear much makeup, but her features were so good that she still stood out even without makeup.

Dilraba was pulled to the third row by staff and stood next to Deng Sha.

She glanced back at Chen Li, her eyes showing a hint of embarrassment.

Chen Lichong gave her an OK sign.

The photographer shouted "Three, two, one," and everyone shouted "Auspicious start!" The shutter clicked all over the place.

After the ceremony, the media swarmed around to conduct interviews.

Jing Tian is undoubtedly the focus.

Chen Li consciously stood on the periphery of the crowd, his gaze sweeping around before finally settling on Zhang Xinyu.

She stood at the edge of the interview area, with only one or two reporters from other media outlets talking to her.

She seemed to be in good spirits, but compared to the huge crowds at Jing Tian, ​​it was rather deserted.

But she got used to it.

At the beginning of 2014, Zhang Xinyu was in a very delicate position.

A few months ago, she had just broken up with Li Chen.

But her resources didn't dry up as a result. On the contrary, 2014 was a small peak in her career.

She played Li Mochou in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and was dubbed "the most enchanting Li Mochou".

The press conference for "The Investiture of the Gods" was just held in Beijing, and it will premiere on the prime time slot of three major satellite TV channels on January 31.

She'll be playing Empress Wang from "The Empress of China" next.

Chen Li thought about it and wondered what had made her fall for Da Hei Niu.

The most incredible thing is that Li Chen will soon be working with Fan Bingbing in "The Empress of China".

At this time, Fan Bingbing and Zhang Xinyu were still best friends.

I never expected things to turn out so melodramatic...

After the ceremony, filming of the first shot began.

The first scene is the scene where Ban Shu and Wei Ying first meet.

In this scene, Jing Tian disguises himself as a little beggar and sneaks into the imperial kitchen to steal steamed buns, but is caught red-handed by Wei Ying.

The film crew was divided into Group A and Group B for filming.

Group A usually films the scenes of the main actors, while Group B films the scenes of the extras and supporting actors.

Chen Li's scenes are mostly in Group B, where he usually just sits and watches others act.

Chen Ligang had just finished discussing the script with the assistant director when he saw Jing Tian acting out the scene of stealing steamed buns.

He always felt that Jing Tian's acting had a strange quality.

Either you're using too much force, or you're not using enough force.

But they really do work very hard.

When filming "Ban Shu Legend", I had to work about 14 hours a day, non-stop.

She performed in more than 800 of the 900+ scenes in the entire play.

All I can say is that I did my best; some things can't be forced...

After all, minor fame relies on promotion, while major fame relies on fate!

......

It was 6:30 p.m. at a small restaurant in Hengdian.

Kong Sheng was the first to arrive. He hung his coat on the back of his chair and poured himself a cup of tea.

A few minutes later, Li Xue pushed the door open and came in.

Following behind was Hu Ge, who was once known as a "left-behind child" of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series.

"It's cold outside." Brother Hu rubbed his hands together and took off his scarf.

Kong Sheng called the waiter to serve the dishes and also asked him to open a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor).

The three of them sat down, simmering mutton in hot pot while chatting about the scenes they had filmed during the day.

As they were chatting, Kong Sheng suddenly put down his chopsticks, as if he had remembered something.

"By the way, the other day when we were filming the scenes with young Lin Shu, that young actor, Chen Li, was quite interesting."

Brother Hu picked up a piece of mutton, looked up at him, and said:

"Young Lin Shu?"

"Yes, it's the actor who played you in those scenes from your teenage years."

Kong Sheng picked up his wine cup and took a sip.

Li Xue nodded in agreement.

"That kid is really talented. Not only can he act well himself, but he can also get his co-stars into character."

"A seemingly naive and silly little girl acted like a completely different person in front of him."

"That's rare." Brother Hu put down his chopsticks, intrigued.

"These days, young actors are lucky if they can even portray themselves convincingly, let alone draw others into the role?"

Kong Sheng took out his phone, scrolled through the photo album, and handed it over:

"Look, this is it."

Brother Hu took it.

The screen displays a still from the drama, showing Chen Li dressed in a silver-white outfit, his black hair tied up high, and his eyebrows and eyes bright and defiant.

Standing there, he certainly looked like a dashing young man in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse.

He made a few more strokes and watched several videos filmed on site.

"Not bad." Brother Hu handed the phone back to Kong Sheng, thought about it carefully, and then said...

"What do you guys think... we should introduce him to Sister K?"

K-sister is Cai Yinong, the president of Tangren Media.

Kong Sheng raised an eyebrow and smiled:

"What, you Tangren are signing new artists?"

"The company hasn't been doing well lately..." Brother Hu paused, carefully choosing his words.

"Anyway, it's never a bad thing to have more promising talents."

Kong Sheng and Li Xue exchanged a glance and both laughed.

"You Tang people have had quite a few things going on lately," Kong Sheng said, raising his wine glass with a teasing tone.

"I just saw the news. Lin Gengxin's lawsuit just had its second trial verdict, right? How much did they pay you?"

Brother Hu smiled somewhat helplessly: "One million nine hundred and fifty thousand."

Li Xue added from the side, "So your Tangren's contract termination fee is quite clearly marked."

"Then let's calculate it this way," Kong Sheng put down his wine cup and started counting on his fingers.

"If Chen Li were to sign with Tangren Media, wouldn't you have to train him for several years first?"

"Once he becomes famous, if he also tries to terminate his contract like Lin Gengxin, based on the current market, he'll have to pay you at least two million."

"If you calculate it this way, Tangren could go public just from the contract termination fees alone."

Brother Hu was amused by his train of thought and pointed at Kong Sheng with his chopsticks:

"Director Kong, are you hoping that Tangren Media will lose its talent?"

"I'm doing this on your behalf," Kong Sheng said with a smile.

"You Chinese people promote one person and then they all leave; this isn't a profitable business."

"How could that be? Lin Gengxin is just an isolated case; it won't happen again."

Brother Hu waved his hand.

"I'll mention it to Sister K later and see what she thinks."

Kong Sheng raised his wine cup and clinked it against his:

"Honestly, this kid is a real talent. If you Chinese can sign him and nurture him properly, you can prevent a repeat of the previous situation..."

Kong Sheng stopped halfway through his sentence, smiled, and didn't continue.

Brother Hu didn't reply, he just nodded.

He muttered to himself.

Probably not...

Especially that kid Jiang Jinfu, he's being groomed as their successor.

Depend on!

Why does it feel like playing the card game "Three Kingdoms Kill"?

Traitor and rebel?

Hu Ge was immediately in a bind.
