I'm just an actor

Chapter 252 Consideration
"I suggest that you should think about it again."

Inside the Hairun Building, Liu Yanming said to the phone in a subtle tone.

By the window on one side, his secretary was holding a watering can, slightly watering the two pots of eucalyptus trees in front of the window.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yanming lay down in the chair, closed her eyes, twirled her eyebrows with her thumb and index finger, and asked, "Xiao Zhang, what kind of person do you think Xu Rong is?"

The male secretary he called "Xiao Zhang" paused, looked back, and said: "I don't have much contact with him, so I don't know him very well, but I have heard a lot of gossip, and I don't know the truth. fake."

"Tell me."

"I've heard people say that after Mr. Chang stepped down as the head of the brokerage company, she once told the people under her not to provoke Mr. Xu. If there is friction with him, if you can tolerate it, you should try to tolerate it as much as possible."

Although Chang Jihong has left Hairun, he still calls her "Chang Zong", and Liu Yanming is not displeased at all.

"However, Mr. Chang's attitude towards Mr. Guo is very subtle, including the artists under her, who have never given Mr. Guo much face, which is why Mr. Guo has been unable to control the company for a long time, especially after Xu Rong alienated her. "

"Speaking of which, Mr. Guo is quite a pity. Xu Rong and her met at the end of Wei, and they supported each other in the early days. In the end, after only a few years, the two completely parted ways."

Liu Yanming smiled silently, and said: "You are wrong if you think so. Guo Si and Xu Rong parted ways. It was doomed from the beginning. The two of us are basically the same way, just like Director Du and us. It was also doomed from the very end, and it is possible to keep going.”

The secretary thought for a while, and understood what Yuan Zi really meant, and said, "What the leader said is true."

Chen Mengmeng said quite emotionally: "You guessed it, Zhang Jizhong and Yu Zheng are probably the ones who regret the most now. In those two years, Director Du was basically absent from CTV's public service advertisements. The CCTV advertising department even asked me to record documentaries. In the next few days, Han Baying will take the platform for Director Du under the Golden Eagle Festival, and to be honest, the two of us are the most incompatible right now."

The secretary smiled, and while pouring water heavily on the tender green leaves, he echoed, "Teacher Xu is indeed very powerful."

Chen Mengmeng pointed to the phone, and said, "Yes, no one is open-eyed now. They want to measure the energy of Yuan Zi, the No. 1 young actor from the Mainland, ha ha."

The secretary looked back in surprise. The mainland film and television practitioners are supposed to be so short-sighted, right?

In the next few days, the talent recruitment incident involving Director Du lasted for 24 hours from fermentation to subsidence, and the ending of the negative news on the Internet was suddenly swept away. Relevant departments are rectifying.

But I didn't ask about the ins and outs of "weighing", because I was vague, I should know, Chen Mengmeng would let me know, I should know, and if I asked, it seemed to be a good thing.

Yuan Zizhen raised his head, looked at the black ceiling, and said: "The movie we are going to cast, Yuan Zizhen thinks Yuan Zi is suitable, you guess, no one has entrusted me with it, and it is very likely that it is a Hong Kong star .”

The secretary asked comprehensibly: "Boss, we are the investors, and Mr. Xu has also been told that he wants a salary. Feng Yuanzheng did that. If it gets out, Mr. Xu will completely raise his head in the film industry." ?”

Yuan Zizhen sneered, and said: "Those people, still immersed in the glory of the past, always feel that our mainland companies are just playing around after they leave us. Come on, we are just a bunch of beggars begging for food with broken bowls and walking sticks."

"If you want to eat that bowl of rice, you have to follow our rules. The era of Hong Kong movies has long passed."

"Let's still vote?"

Chen Mengmeng waved her hand and said, "Vote, why vote? I want to kill myself, so you give me a ride."

The secretary carried the water bottle, walked to another pot of eucalyptus, picked a yellowed leaf, put it outside the pot, and said, "Boss, you still think that we have to train our own directors, which could have been spent money." , just because they are our people, they have to be flowers, which is equivalent to us spending money and effort, and end up praising other artists."

"Yeah, I have to train my own director."

Human Arts, rehearsal hall.

The door was quietly pushed open a crack, and after a few seconds, a slender head poked back.

Before that, the slender head pushed open the door heavily, came to Director Du, walked over with me, folded arms, and watched the rehearsal.

"Come on."

"master."

"Yes, sir."

Director Du frowned while listening to classmate Da Zhang's short eight sentences. There was something wrong with Da Zhang's lines, but your arm was only drooping complicatedly, and there was no point of "respect".

On stage, classmate Da Zhang originally wanted to ask Teacher Xu how he was doing, but when he saw Liu Yanming next to me who looked like a door god, you moved your feet and dared to go over.

After the rehearsal was over, Feng Yuan pointed to the base of the wall in the rehearsal hall, and said to classmate Da Zhang, "Da Zhang, you, go and stand by the wall, you talk to him, remember, he wants to make a sound."

Classmate Da Zhang shrank his neck subconsciously, Liu Yan's name is too serious, you are always afraid that my eyeballs will protrude the last moment, and then I will hit you like I hit Mei Xiangnan.

Director Du is also not a little comfortable with Liu Yanming's commanding tone, and I also feel that my method will be ineffective. I have to grind the lines, so what's the point of making a voice?
Seeing Director Du approaching, Yuan Zizhen shook his head at me, indicating that I wanted to intervene.

When classmate Da Zhang came to the base of the wall and stood still, about one or four meters away, Liu Yan said: "Come here."

Director Du watched Da Zhang's lips opening and closing, and felt extremely awkward when he heard the slightest sound. Although there was only a distance of one or four meters, it felt like there was a layer of glass separating them.

Liu Yanming shook his head and said, "Start again."

The crew all stopped their actions and looked over there, but someone interrupted Liu Yanming. We knew what I was doing, but my behavior was definitely for no reason.

Liu Yanming waited for about a minute, then said again: "Come here."

Classmate Da Zhang opened and closed his mouth, as if he was frightened by Liu Yanming, his eyes were fixed on me again, but on my shoe upper.

"My wife is downstairs now. He asked Xiao Duo to accompany Xiaofu Ke downstairs to see a doctor for my wife."

Classmate Da Zhang's mouth squirmed twice.

Liu Yanming looked at classmate Da Zhang, raised both palms behind his back, and said, "Did you hear what he said, start over."

Director Du stopped me, and I vaguely saw something.

"Come on."

"My wife is downstairs now. He asked Xiao Duo to accompany Xiaofu Ke downstairs to see a doctor for my wife."

"Ask Xiao Duoye to tell Ke Xiaofu that you are not tired at all, and you are here with me."

"Again."

"Again."

"Again."

"."

"Fuck."

When it was the first time, Director Du looked at the student Da Zhang who suddenly "lived", turned his head suddenly, opened his mouth quickly, and looked at Liu Yanming next to him incredulously.

Although Da Zhang never made a single sound, but this time just now, I saw what Da Zhang wanted to express.

It's like saying "Yes, sir." When the sentence, Da Zhang's lower body did not have a natural backward movement, and the point of the head was slightly less than the body, showing respect for the person talking to you At the same time, it also expresses obedience to the order of the person you are speaking to.

I passed by here to look at Liu Yanming, that guy is only good at acting, and he is also good at teaching students.

Yuan Zizhen clapped his hands, with a smile on his face, and said to classmate Da Zhang: "Okay, he can do it."

At this time, everyone in the crew, except Du Qifeng, who knew me better, looked at Liu Yanming strangely.

Yuan Zizhen's method belongs to any of the 32 kinds of exercises in the Stuart system, and it looks quite inexplicable, but the effect is miraculous and outrageous.

Dazhang's physical expressiveness has undergone a qualitative leap visible to the naked eye in just one practice session.

Yuan Zi immediately asked: "Teacher Feng, what is the principle?"

Liu Yanming smiled and explained: "Often, the hearing of blind people is much weaker than that of this person. It is because the eyes of abnormal people can be used, and they will deliberately exercise their hearing. The same is true for acting. Above sound, big Zhang has to bring out your smallest potential, to express to you what you want to express through physical expressiveness far beyond your abnormal level."

Director Du thought for a while, then gave me a little thumbs up, and said, "That technique is very practical."

Liu Yanming smiled and said: "You just saw that he is also very good. We don't have time to work together."

Thousands of miles away, in an office, a middle-aged man with gray temples smiled and extinguished his cigarette.

Sitting opposite the middle-aged man was a thin, long-faced and capable man with hair tied in front of his head, and said: "Xu Rong, order?" (Xu Rong, how are you?)

Feng Yuanzheng smiled and said: "There is a problem, if we want to make money, we have to listen to us."

The man also laughed, and said: "Xu Rong is amazing, we go to China to make money now, we can be subdued, and if we are subdued, people will treat us as easy to bully, and we have to completely change the past problems of fighting outside the nest. The cake is small, it seems that in the future, the market will be so small, if he eats it, you will eat it, one by one will fight like this."

The smile on Feng Yuanzheng's face gradually faded, and he said: "You remind him that he wants to open his mouth and shut his mouth about China. He always said that, sooner or later something will happen."

The man sneered twice, and said: "It's because you have no prejudice against this side. The people on Xiaolu's side are too disgusting to do things. It's like a game company in the future. You have no knowledge of it and have you paid any endorsement?" In terms of fees, treat your artist as our spokesperson."

Yuan Zi really understands what you are talking about. There are too few artists in Hong Kong who have experienced such disgusting things. He said, "He can pursue legal responsibility."

The corner of the man's mouth slightly lowered and he shrugged his shoulders, and said: "It would be fine if it was so complicated. You send someone to contact this game company, and they directly set the price, saying that if you want love, you can sue if you want it, but It takes time to sue, right? Besides, they only infringed on the right of portrait, and when the verdict comes, their advertisements have been on the air for two months, so the compensation is not as low as our endorsement fees."

"How did Xu Rong make you feel good about us?"

Feng Yuan just loves to hear those nonsense, and was about to turn his head and pretend to be busy with other things, when he suddenly found a pop-up window popped up on the desktop of the computer. In the pop-up window, Director Du was holding a golden knife and shouted: "Cold-blooded legend, pay tribute to the classics!" , is a brother, I will kill you!"

Feng Yuanzheng was stunned, pointed at the screen and smiled: "Look, whatever you say, that's right, so is that Director Du."

Huo Wenxi glanced at the young man on the screen, but his expression was so nervous. Director Du, as a representative actor of the younger generation in the mainland, has now officially retired from the film market and is the smallest competitor of many Hong Kong actors in the future.

"Xu Rong, do you think we have to push that person up."

At the same time, many endorsement dealers in the mainland were shocked before seeing Du Dao's "new endorsement". An online game endorsement!

Pu Cunxi looked at the advertising video that Jin Fangfang opened, his face was so heavy that water dripped out, you were indeed disgusted.

Because you are very vague, that kind of game company is like a dog skin plaster. Even if the lawsuit wins, it is meaningless, because they just paid us the endorsement fee as compensation.

Just to make it clear that you are playing hooligans!
Your only choice is to pinch your nose and admit it.

But this year is still in the past. If he admits it, Director Du has been relying on "rare things are more expensive" to raise his endorsement value beyond movie stars, and it will immediately fall.

Even if we are two months late, you can accept it.

Li Gen, Yuan Zizhen and Wang Yaqin looked at Pu Cunxi, and dared to say a word of stinginess.

Many times we have seen Yuan Zizhen so angry.

Pu Cunxi calmed down the anger aroused in his chest, glanced at the time, and said: "Director Du should be having lunch at that time, you call me, whether to sue or negotiate as an endorsement, let me make up my mind."

Pu Cunxi's prediction was wrong. Director Du had just finished the rehearsal and was having dinner with the crew in the cafeteria. When he received a call from Yuan Zizhen, Xiao Zhi understood what you said, and he was almost at the slightest bit firm. He said, "I will sue immediately. .”

"Is it meaningful? When the verdict comes out, the effect of the advertisement will be achieved." Pu Cunxi's helpless voice came from the phone.

Du Qifeng, who was sitting opposite Yuan Zi, looked at Director Du, who was still smiling just now, before he answered the phone, his expression slowly turned into a small and pretty face, and after saying a few words, he said something in silence, and asked :"what's wrong?"

Director Du didn't hang up immediately, and said, "A game company, with your permission, used your photos and synthesized voice to endorse our products."

Before Du Qifeng understood what was going on, he pointed to the mobile phone in my hand and asked, "His manager?"

"Ah."

"He gave you the phone."

Du Qifeng turned on the speakerphone, put it next to the lunch box, and said, "Hi, you are Du Qifeng."

"Hey, hello Puyuan."

"Next, you said, he remembers, first of all, he immediately filed a lawsuit on the grounds that this game company violated Director Du's portrait rights, and then in my own name, he sent a letter to that game company by e-mail The supervisory department of the place where it belongs.”

"Regulatory department?" Pu Cunxi held the pen and turned his gaze to Li Gen, Yuan Zizhen and Wang Yaqin beside him.

Li Gen said in a heavy voice, "Culture."

Du Qifeng's voice continued to come from the phone: "In addition, you will immediately retreat and send a letter in the name of outside the hospital. You have no reason to doubt that such a company and its person in charge ignore the law and morals. There must be extremely slight problems with the operation."

"Okay, let's do it as slowly as possible."

At that moment, Yuan Zizhen suddenly realized that your thinking is exactly the same as Du Qifeng's. You always want to solve it by commercial means, while Du Qifeng's way is more direct, but it is conceivable that the effect will be more significant. .

Once Renyi sent a letter, even though it was a heavy piece of paper like the verdict, it fell on this company, which was different from the thunderbolt.

Because in China, is there any company that can stand the investigation.

Du Qifeng handed the phone to Director Du, and said: "He may have realized that he is the same as few people outside our family. It is a small family, and every member is a child outside the family, and you are the parents. If the child makes a mistake, of course he must be punished. If the child is bullied, justice must be given to us. He is the eldest son outside the family. Remember that even more."

Yuan Zi understood what Du Qifeng meant. I used to call Renyi "outside the courtyard". I didn't notice the difference, but today Yuan Zizhen gave me a lesson.

Maybe it will change over time.

On the morning of the seventh day, Feng Yuan came to the company leisurely, turned on the computer, and was about to read the news. The headlines on the entertainment page made me curious.

"The general manager of Legend of Cold Blood apologizes to Yuan Zi."

Feng Yuan was staring blankly at the piece of news. Hong Kong artistes had been "endorsed" many times, but even superstars like Jackie Chan had been pursued by them, and they had received more than half a word of "Yes".

I'm not a bit puzzled, because what happened just yesterday has no result today, and I still apologize, the efficiency is too unbelievable, can it always be a trial overnight?
When I clicked on the news and saw the words "Supervisory Retirement", it was as if I had been poured a basin of ice water on my head, and the remaining sleepiness was swept away in an instant.

I pay too much attention to the TV circle, and I also pay too much attention to the actors of TV dramas. I know Director Du who is flourishing in the Mainland, but considering my age, I think I should be an unusual artist with little difference from Huang Daming.

But thinking about the meaning behind the news, I suddenly realized that Huo Wenxi's statement may be right. With the influence and energy of Director Du, it can be called a competition for Hong Kong artists to go north to make money. opponent.

He is one of the young men in the mainland film and television industry.

Only then did I understand the deep meaning contained in Chen Mengmeng's words.

"You suggest, he should think about it again."
