Chapter 219 Finally, I don’t have to play the old lady anymore

In the slightly dirty fitness room, a girl with a proud figure was sweating profusely on the treadmill.

While running, the waves swayed in a dazzling way, and my sportswear was stuck tightly to my body with sweat, as if my whole body was filled with the breath of 404.

Beside her, a middle-aged aunt was talking non-stop with a frown on her face.

"Xiao Xun, can you be more pragmatic and stop being so picky about the scripts? Tell me for yourself, how many scripts have you pushed in the past six months?"

"If you really have something to do, you can be picky, but you've been off work for several months! The entertainment industry is changing very quickly these days. If you don't show up for a few months, you'll be out again.

No one remembers who you are, Zhang Hao!"

The girl seemed not to hear anything and continued running.

"My aunt, would you mind listening to me?"

The middle-aged aunt, Zhang Xun's agent Hong Xiudi, said earnestly: "I know I am angry, but it depends on the actual situation, right? You are different from Zhang Ziyi. She has Zhang Yimou and Cheng Long to support her, so she can choose the book she wants.

But you can’t!”

"You don't want to drink and laugh, but you also want to choose a good book. How can there be such a good thing in the world? The most indispensable thing in the circle is young and beautiful girls. Why should they take advantage of you? You still think that this is

Was it 20 or 30 years ago that you were grabbing jobs based on your ability?"

Zhang Xun still turned a deaf ear and kept running on his own.

"Xiao Hao, I can honestly say that I really tried my best. This book is actually not bad, but I just want you to play a mother-level role across your age? What a big deal, it's not like you can't play it!"

"The producers and investors of this drama are both owned by Penguin. You don't know the size of this platform, right? Staring in their homemade drama will be of great benefit to your popularity and exposure.

, as long as you have a good relationship, you will have a chance to find a heroine in the future. You have to take a long-term view and don’t always focus on the short-term interests in front of you!"

Zhang Xun was obviously a little impatient and frowned.

She does have arrogance in her heart. Even if she can't reach the level of Zhang Ziyi, she doesn't want to belittle herself too much.

She can accept not having any scenes, or she can accept being a green leaf for powerful seniors, but the only thing she can't accept is being a stepping stone for a bunch of empty-minded little white flowers!

After studying Chinese Opera for so many years, I have polished my basic abilities little by little, including body shape, lines, literary accomplishments, and stage performance. I don’t know how much hard work I put in, but in the end I have to work as a green leaf for a bunch of novices who don’t know anything.

, how to endure it?

What have years of sweat and hard work accomplished?

At 26 years old, an actress is at her golden age, yet she has to be dragged into playing the role of a mother-in-law to a traffic flower... Haha!

A year ago, she might have just held her nose and accepted it.

But since one of her younger brothers had vaguely reminded her last time that the "all-comers-come" model of accepting roles would probably do more harm than good, she came back and thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed with this statement.

So since then, she has been much more cautious when choosing scripts.

Penguin's homemade drama has such a great reputation, but as an industry insider, do you still not know what it is about?

One cent is used for filming, nine cents is used for hype and marketing to brush up data, and then you use the beautiful report card to defraud hot investment money, come back and wait in line to share the fruits, and then enter the next cycle...

What does it mean to have a long-term vision?

Precisely because we need long-term planning, we cannot blindly accept this bad show. This model is a quagmire. It will be difficult to figure it out after getting in!

Seeing that Zhang Xun was struggling, Hong Xiudi finally became a little anxious, "Did you hear what I said? If you continue like this, you will soon find out that there is no such person, you know? Even a top-notch little flower,

I don’t dare to rest like you!”

"The company has been urging me several times in various ways. If you keep resting like this, you may be completely hidden one day. I want you to rest enough!"

Zhang Xun finally spoke, "Sister Hong, let's wait and see. Maybe there is someone more suitable?"

"Still waiting?!" Hong Xiudi was furious, "This is Penguin's S-level homemade drama. The male lead is Jiang Jun, a top student, and the female lead is Penguin's daughter Zhu Zi. You will definitely have a lot of roles as Zhu Zi's mother.

,Are you not satisfied with this opportunity?"

"Don't blame me for being harsh. You have to be self-aware in everything you do. It's a big taboo in the industry to have high ambitions and low power! What are you waiting for? If you have the ability to wait for Zhang Yimou or Yang Rui's acting appointment, then I'll accept it, too.

But is that realistic?”

"Sure up, girl. First, establish a solid foothold in the circle, and then think about the things you don't have..."

Just as he was talking, a young short-haired female assistant suddenly ran in, her pretty face flushed and she looked very excited, "Sister Hong, Sister Hong..."

Hong Xiudi was in a bad mood, so she immediately said with a cold face: "What are you doing so rashly? Is it a fire or an earthquake?"

The female assistant was so excited that she couldn't speak clearly, "Director Yang...oh, it's that Yang Rui. He called to inquire about Sister Xun's schedule!"

Plop.

Zhang Xun stumbled on the treadmill and almost fell to the ground. After adjusting her body balance in a panic, she quickly turned off the treadmill.

The steps stopped, but the heartbeat became more intense, and my head went blank with excitement.

Hong Xiudi, who was on the side, was a little confused, "Who did you just talk about?"

"Yang Rui!" The assistant's eyes gleamed with excitement, "Fang Hanwen! Chen Zhen!"

Hong Xiudi opened her mouth, her head was buzzing, and her cheeks hurt slightly.

What the hell, am I opening my mouth?

I was just talking about it, and you actually called me?

That's the hottest new director. If he can be cast...hey, Penguin's S-drama is a big deal!

"Are you sure you're not a liar?" Hong Xiudi asked hurriedly.

"The call was made from Xingqing Culture's landline. I've checked the caller number. There's nothing wrong with it," the assistant said hurriedly.

Snapped!

Hong Xiudi slapped her thigh and smiled so hard that her teeth came out, "Okay, okay, this is really great! Xiaoxun, you are about to get lucky! You must seize this opportunity no matter what!"

Seeing her eager look, Zhang Xun couldn't even laugh or cry.

A few minutes ago, she was scolding her for being ignorant, but her face changed in the blink of an eye. It was really...

Forget it, isn’t this world just so realistic?

But this news really surprised her.

It was just a one-time relationship, but that younger brother actually still remembers her, an 18th-tier artist who lives in the center of the earth?

"Auntie, are you going to continue and say something?" Hong Xiudi was going crazy with anxiety.

This time Zhang Xun didn't hesitate anymore, smiled and nodded, "Take it."

"Thank God!"

Hong Xiudi clasped her hands together and burst into tears, then turned around and took her assistant to contact Yang Rui.

Zhang Xun was left sitting alone on the dirty bench, drinking nutritious fruit and vegetable juice.

After drinking one cup, she wiped her sweat and let out a long sigh.

Finally, I no longer have to play the role of a mother-in-law!

That night Hong Xiudi took Zhang Xun and rushed to Qingfeng. The next morning, as soon as Xingqing Culture opened its doors, the two of them came to find her.

Strictly speaking, this kind of eagerness is very self-deprecating and devaluing, and will make people look down upon, but Hong Xiudi really can't care so much.

This is Yang Rui, a cash cow with an average box office of 2 billion per movie!

Go out and ask, how many A-list buddies are trying to get into his drama now?!

If he can like Zhang Xun, it is almost like pie in the sky. If this kind of good thing is not finalized in black and white quickly, what if someone jumps in line?

Those little fairies who have just joined the industry are willing to do anything to grab roles!

Ding Lan met them in person, and while exchanging pleasantries, he also quietly observed Zhang Xun.

She was also very curious about the quality of the heroine selected by Yang Rui, so that she could surpass so many potential female artists in the company...

But after looking at it for a long time, I couldn't see anything special. There was only one obvious advantage - it was big.

Thinking back to Yang Rui's different attitudes towards Wang Pheasant and Liu Shishi... Ding Lan is already very sure of Yang Rui's taste.

Alas, if this is really the case, Tiantian’s situation is not good!
