I'm just an actor

Chapter 125 Feeling
The weather in Hengdian was not a big deal. As soon as Xu Rong arrived, it started to rain. Looking through the window glass, the sky was misty and misty.

The press conference was scheduled to be held at two o'clock in the afternoon. Song Jia, the female lead of the crew, came a little later. Instead of staying in the hotel arranged by the crew, she found a hotel with better conditions.

This is also a common practice, because under normal circumstances, the standard of the hotel chosen by the crew is generally not too high, but it is not too low. It is just that the crew of "Latent" is limited by the budget and broke the routine. It is also reasonable for Song Jia to choose another hotel .

The only thing is that she has to work hard for her assistant, who has to run around every day.

The assistant can only pay out of his own pocket if he doesn't live in the hotel arranged by the crew.

When Song Jia arrived at the hotel and looked at Xu Rong's spirit, she blinked her eyes. In the past, most of her impressions of Xu Rong were "honest" and "a little clever", but seeing you again, she It is found that there is a certain degree of bias in the impression of the past, because it is Zhu Chuanwen.

Before meeting Xu Rong, she had always been curious about how Xu Rong would portray the young, cautious, tactful and naive Yu Zecheng, and even doubted whether he would be able to act in the end. At the moment they met, she suddenly had neither doubt nor curiosity.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Song Jia looked at Xu Rongxiao, and only smiled halfway, and said: "You always do this for a long time, and you will have mental problems."

Xu Rong shook his head and said, "I don't take many plays, two or three a year, no problem."

"Actually, I think you can consider making only one film a year, and don't devote yourself so much to the others."

"Thank you, I will consider it." Although Xu Rong didn't quite agree in his heart, he still expressed his gratitude and acceptance of the suggestion.

During this period of time, he read biographies of famous people and had a general understanding of the psychology of people of different ages and experiences. In addition, he also had some skills in doing things.

When reading Chaplin's biography, there is such a story that impressed me deeply. Once Chaplin played a long-distance hiker.

In order to fully show the exhaustion of the character, Chaplin deliberately loosened the shoelaces, making his whole body look loose.

When the interns he led saw this attire, they immediately stepped forward and kindly reminded him: "Teacher, your shoelaces are loose."

After hearing this, Chaplin thanked him quickly, and bent down to tie his shoelaces.

The intern also felt very happy because of his kind reminder, but in fact, he didn't know that Chaplin untied his shoelaces on purpose.

Likewise, Chaplin did not take this opportunity to teach his students the art of acting.

This scene was seen by a reporter in the venue. After the show ended, he went to ask Chaplin:

"Why didn't you teach this disciple on the spot to untie the shoelaces to better fit the character, instead of following his suggestion to tie the shoelaces?"

Chaplin replied: "The kindness of others must be accepted frankly. There are many opportunities to teach others the skills of acting. In today's occasion, the most important thing is to accept the kindness of others with a grateful heart and give a response."

"Otherwise, next time, even if you make a mistake, people may not remind you, because maybe the other party will think that you don't necessarily think it was a good intention."

Chaplin's success is difficult to replicate, but some philosophies of doing things can be used for reference.

As for being a human being, Xu Rong has his own persistence.

The production team, director team, Xu Rong, Song Jia and others were waiting in the hotel. It seemed that the time was about to come, but the three media that had made an appointment did not even see a shadow.

"Producer Zhang, this will start soon, and the media will not stop coming, right?" Jiang Wei, with broad shoulders and a broad back, stood in front of the window, watching the pouring rain outside the room, glanced down at his wrist, and turned his head Lai asked Zhang Jing in a low voice.

Although the two Jiang Wei Xu Rong knew had similar occupations, their personalities were quite different. Jiang Wei didn't talk much at the moment.

This is probably one of the reasons for the small investment scale of a good book like "Latent". With his resume, it shouldn't be difficult to fool tens of millions.

But from another point of view, this is also one of the reasons for his success. He can always hit the point when he speaks, and sometimes hit the pain point incidentally, but Jiang Wei is very self-aware. If it is not necessary, most of the time, He kept silent.

Zhang Jing squeezed her mobile phone, looked at the eyes of everyone in the room, and said calmly: "I'll call again and ask."

"Hello, hey, I'm Zhang Jing."

"."

After a while, after hanging up the phone, Zhang Jing forced a smile and said, "Everyone, go back to your room and rest, because of the weather, the reporter may not be able to make it."

Xu Rong and Song Jia looked at each other, but said nothing, the weather was a bit too ridiculous.

Back in the room, Xu Rong checked the news, and vaguely understood what was going on. "A Dream of Red Mansions" was launched again with a high profile, and probably intended to promote it. It was divided into three groups to shoot scenes all over the country. Today, one group happened to come to Zhejiang Province.

After several large-scale replacements of the main creator, "A Dream of Red Mansions" has completely become a farce. Rumors of a "Concubine Selection Conference" have spread like wildfire. No matter whether the audience or the media watched "New Dream of Red Mansions" every woman in the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" As an actor, it's hard to avoid guessing in his heart what the role was exchanged for.

But no matter how lively the other house is, it can't hide the neglect of "Latent".

The launch conference was dismissed by the media, which probably means that after the production is completed, it will be difficult to release it.

This is what all producers and producers are worried about. According to the TV industry data of the previous year released by relevant departments a while ago, in 2007, a total of 529 TV series with 14670 episodes were produced in China, and 286 were finally released. Most of them were rotten in the hands of the producers and were not sold, while the rest were bought by TV stations, but they were not scheduled at all.

Under the prosperity of the TV drama industry, which is full of flowers and rising steadily, there is actually a pool of mud.

Before the filming crew started, there was a gloomy and gloomy atmosphere. The investment scale was small, and Xu Rong was the only one in the lineup, so to speak.

The investment scale of "Latent" determines the cost of publicity and distribution in the later period, that is, the public relations cost cannot be too much, and the lineup directly affects the price it will sell to TV stations in the future.

This negative atmosphere directly affected the reception banquet in the evening.

After everyone was seated and quieted down, Zhang Jing said: "Three days later, our crew of "Latent" will start up. Most of the teachers sitting here have worked with me before, and there are also teachers like Mr. Xu and Mr. Song who are the first This time, I believe that those who are sitting here today must have planned to shoot tricks, and here, I would like to say thank you to all the teachers."

"But there are some things that I want to tell you. Today, our launch conference was let go. I feel very ashamed and sorry. This is my responsibility. It has nothing to do with you. Don't think about it. There are too many, just film with peace of mind, and I will solve other problems."

"In addition, I can assure everyone that the remuneration that should be paid to you will not be short. Our script is a good script, which was carefully polished by Director Jiang for more than three years before it was written. Some people may have seen it. The investment scale is indeed small, and it is expected that the filming process will be very hard, but who is not hard at filming? I also want to ask, who stipulated that only a large investment can make a good-looking film? I believe that as long as we unite Yixin, good works and ratings are the most powerful counterattack, come on, let’s raise our glasses together, wishing us a smooth filming and a big hit in the ratings.”

"The filming went well and the ratings were big."

Xu Rong looked at the impassioned Zhang Jing and the crowd who were equally high-spirited, and also yelled a slogan at the top of his voice. Naturally, he knew very well that Zhang Jing was talking nonsense, and it took Jiang Wei more than half a year to write this book.

But at this time, as the male lead, he definitely couldn't sing against the producer.

In fact, in his heart, he really has no idea about the prospects of "Latent". How, no one knows.

Furthermore, cost constraints will lead to shoddy production of various links, such as crazy deadlines, intern editing, etc., which also happen from time to time in the industry.

As for whether it can be released in the end, that is something that Zhang Jing, the producer, needs to worry about.

After the dinner, Xu Rong was sent back to the room by several people to rest.

He didn't drink much, but he couldn't stand being given it all the time.

Before entering the door, he stopped classmate Xiao Zhang and Xu Xing who were about to come in, and said to Jiang Wei and Zhang Jing at the same time, "Everyone, don't come in. I won't go out again for the remaining three days. If you eat, let Just knock on the door and send it in, and I'll look for the status."

Jiang Wei looked at Xu Rong in surprise, and asked: "Mr. Xu, I see that you are in good condition, right?!"

Xu Rong shook his head, whether he found the feeling or not, he knew very well in his heart.

There are still three days until the launch.

In the past three days, he gave Xu Xing his mobile phone, closed the curtains of the room himself, turned off the lights, and spent most of the time pacing back and forth in the room very lightly except for meals.

Song Jia originally wanted to invite Xu Rong to dinner, but when Xu Xing heard the news of his "retreat", she could only roll her eyes. She thought that Xu Rong's state had been adjusted quite well, but I didn't expect that guy to be so ambitious.

This method is too extreme, and even methodists don't advocate it.

In the past, Chen Baoguo was the only one who used such extreme methods in China.

But she didn't bother, because she knew very well that Xu Rong must be "crazy" no matter whether he succeeds or not this time.

At about seven o'clock in the evening the day before the start-up, Jiang Wei's room was filled with smoke.

During this period, the heads of the director group, production group, and other groups were almost all in order, but when everyone spoke, they always started with words such as "if" and "if".

The first male is not out yet.

The executive director, Fu Wei, was a tall young man. He watched everyone in the group make two plans, and said, "Let me tell you, why don't we ask?"

Jiang Wei shook his head with a cigarette in his hand, and said: "If he finds the status, he has already said it, but from the current situation, it is obvious that it has not been done yet, let's shoot other actors' scenes first."

"Have you confirmed the locations of the exterior scenes?"

"Everything else is fine, that is, the price. People say that since they opened the business, they have never done such a cheap business."

"You can talk about it, what is not talked about."

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

Li Su, the thin and tall director assistant leaning on the table saw Jiang Wei raising his chin towards the door, and hurriedly ran to open the door.

"Teacher Xu?"

As soon as Li Su's voice fell, Jiang Wei stood up hurriedly, with a happy face on his face, walked to the door in three steps, pushed Li Su away, and asked anxiously: "Mr. Xu, what, what is it?" How about it?"

Xu Rong first scanned the room for the source of more than a dozen pairs of eyes focused on him, then shook his head silently, and said, "Director, can you shoot other people's scenes first, and then give me three days."

Jiang Wei thought for a while, then turned to look at the assistant director Fu Wei behind him, and asked, "Can the three-day play be arranged?"

"A good director."

"Then I'll give you another three days to find out how you feel." Jiang Wei turned his head, looked at Xu Rong and said, "Come in and sit down?"

"No." Xu Rong waved his hand, and after finishing speaking, he went straight back to the room.

Yu Zecheng is a young man in troubled times with ideals, aspirations, tact and sincerity in dealing with feelings.

He has patriotic ideals and a sense of responsibility, he also has tact and prudence in dealing with the world, and he does not lack the characteristics of sincere feelings.

But he has encountered a problem at present, and he still hasn't found Yu Zecheng's sense of oppression under the pressure of national ruin and family ruin.

He was born in a spy war, he understands the importance of this feeling, it can be said that it affects the degree of empathy in the whole play.

When he first shaped Luo Peilun, he didn't need to look for it, because he himself was facing a lot of pressure, one step further is life, one step back may not lead to death, but facing Chang Jihong's difficulties, even if he is unwilling, he can only hold back in the school .

But now, he can be regarded as successful and famous, and has enough food and clothing, just like those artists who have already won the honor of "first-class actor". Perhaps in the past, they also had many bright moments, but now they have long forgotten what a farmer should be. What it is like, but can only perform based on speculation.

He used to have that feeling of being under pressure, but now he wants to take it out again, and it is not something that can be done in a short while, so he chooses to put himself in a closed environment and create depression through the environment atmosphere and bring out that state.

When Zhang Jing heard the news, it was officially launched the next day. She didn't know how to shoot, and she didn't ask about specific details. But after arriving on the set for a long time, she didn't find Xu Rong's figure. Assistant director Fu Wei asked, "Where is Teacher Xu?"
