Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

Chapter 368 The much-watched Ball 2 starts and ends

"..."

On March 3, the launch ceremony of Ball 12 will be held in Qingdao, and the news has been notified to almost all well-known entertainment media.

It has already exploded on the Internet.

Almost all social media platforms have related hot topics, and countless netizens participate in the discussion.

Netizens praised the launch of Ball 2 so quickly after the year.

Putting aside everything else...

Ball 1 alone has become the most popular, highest-grossing, and most imaginative movie in the global science fiction genre. Ball 2 is worth looking forward to.

In addition, Ball 1 is a movie that truly laid the foundation for the full flowering of Chinese-language film and television, and...

There is also a top-notch Xu Nian who can always have expectations for him.

One very important point is that Xu Nian has not appeared in public for a long, long time.

He didn't even attend the Oscars.

Moreover, it is a state in which he has not actively exposed himself, but the world still has endless legends about him.

Take the popularity of Weibo as an example. It still maintains a terrifying lead in popularity.

The total number of Weibo fans including domestic and international fans has exceeded 2.2 million, ranking first among global artists.

It can be said that Xu Nian has not officially entered the international market, but he has become an international superstar in a practical sense.

His popularity spread all over the world.

Became one of the most popular stars worldwide.

So... when the opening ceremony and media conference officially started, the live entertainment media and online audiences exploded on the spot when they didn't see Xu Nian.

: "Director Li, where is Xu Nian?"

: "Will the starring role be changed in Ball 2? Has Xu Nian already withdrawn from the show?"

: "No, no, Xu Nian wasn't even at the launch ceremony?"

: "What on earth did his kid do?"

: "One of the biggest expectations for Ball 2 must be Xu Nian. Without him, what else would we watch!"

: "It's really hard to imagine Ball 2 without Xu Nian!"

: "No, even Movie Emperor Long and the others showed up, how could there be no Xu Nian!"

"..."

In response, Li Cheng quickly took charge of the situation and apologized: "Due to some character design needs and additional factors, Teacher Xu will not attend the opening ceremony."

"Of course, all of everyone's worries are overdue. Teacher Xu will star in Ball 2, there is no doubt about it."

"In fact, if nothing else happens, Teacher Xu has already explained it through Weibo."

"..."

Considering the uniqueness of Xu Nian’s follow-up Mediterranean style in Ball 1 and Xu Nian’s Weibo post, the commotion on site and online quickly subsided.

Xu Nian did update his Weibo news, the content is very simple...

"You want to block me at the opening ceremony? It's a bit whimsical. I haven't shown up for such a long time, I will definitely choose a more important occasion to come out again;

Just wait, I won't disappoint you, don't be a brat every day, I can hardly remember anything in my little notebook, I will sort it out sooner or later! "

At first glance, it is Xu Nian's handiwork.

At that time, the comment area became lively:

"I don't even want to talk about metaphysics anymore, that's all right, you little boy!"

"It seems like you really want to retire early. Do you really want to be the first celebrity to retire during his peak period?"

"Oh, I see you less often than once!"

"If you have the ability, come and settle the matter. You spend every day squandering it to enjoy your blessings. It makes me so angry. Fortunately, in the past few years, I have finally made enough money to squander it!"

"To be honest, you kid is still a bit of a role model."

"..."

In fact, the opening ceremony was not too grand, at least on the surface.

Among the main actors attending, apart from Best Actor Long, there was only Ball 1 guest actor Aunt France Rose Green, who was considered a heavyweight.

Oh, not entirely right.

Another big-name leading actor was actually present, but Li Cheng and the others deliberately didn't mention it too much.

I left it as a guest template.

This is quite reasonable.

Because Ball 2 needs many, many selling points to support higher box office, higher market performance, etc...

.........

In fact, Xu Nian, who has attracted the most attention, is still in Huacheng.

Because he has a private plane, Xu Nian doesn't have to rush anywhere.

But he generally doesn't procrastinate.

Right now, I am still moaning and groaning in Tianhe Yunshu, mainly because... this kid can't bear to leave Zhang Yawei.

"How about I join the team a few days later. Anyway, I won't be able to attend the opening ceremony, so it doesn't matter."

"The main reason is that I'm worried."

"As soon as I leave, you two will be the only ones at home. You are both pregnant. You accidentally bumped into each other..."

"Ugh……"

Zhang Yawei shook her head in amusement: "You still need me to take care of yourself, what can you take care of?"

"Hurry up and finish the few jobs you have in the entertainment industry. Finish your work as soon as possible and retire early."

"If you're really worried, I'll take the high-speed train to Qingdao."

"No, no, no, I'm very relieved!" Xu Nian said, "You should stay in Huacheng with peace of mind."

"Remember to stay safe no matter what happens."

Zhang Yawei sighed: "I know, I know."

She really wanted to know what was going on in this kid's mind. With their wealth and status, how could such a thing as protecting their parents and children be possible?

Their physical fitness and medical services are second to none.

When the King of Hell comes, he has to kowtow before leaving. Seeing that Xu Nian was still dawdling, Lin Jianian finally started to say: "Some people really have double standards."

"Sure enough, I only see the new ones smiling, but don't hear the old ones crying."

"I'll stay with you..."

Xu Nian immediately gave up and said, "I'm leaving right now, why don't I just leave!"

"..."

…………

Although Xu Nian was very reluctant to leave Huacheng, he had already adjusted his mentality after getting on the plane to Qingdao.

At this time, Meng Chao has been arranged to communicate with the crew on various matters.

If you join the group a few hours later than everyone else, there will naturally be some things that need to be synchronized.

After all, Xu Nian is not only the leading actor but also the core soul of the crew.

The most important thing is that this start-up is very different from the previous arrangement.

Because after experiencing the training of Qiu 1, both the new director Chen Yifan and the two veteran directors Li Cheng and Zhuang Hui have accumulated experience.

In addition, the special effects team who collaborated on the set also accumulated profound experience through Ball 1.

In short...the current Ball 2 team is very mature and very capable.

It is enough to deal with any kind of emergencies.

In fact, it was already clear from the moment the actor Long and Green appeared at the opening ceremony that the first thing to start filming must be the big scenes.

There will be more people participating.

In other words, all the actors needed by the crew are in Qingdao at the moment, but they are missing a core figure like Xu Nian.

Meng Chao's communication was very smooth, and he quickly summarized the key information to Xu Nian.

"We are just past it now, and the scenery at the scene still needs some time to make final adjustments."

"In addition, there happened to be actors who were not present and the flight was delayed."

"Preparations in all aspects went smoothly and there were no surprises..."

"..."

Xu young man nodded lightly.

At the end, Meng Chao said again: "Director Li is a little worried about your physical fitness after not showing up for a long time."

"Do you even need to ask?" Xu Nian laughed.

His current physical fitness should be at the peak of his life... Hand-made blacksmithing is not for nothing!

Meng Chao looked at Xu Nian and felt that he was talking nonsense.

When he saw Xu Nian during the last Spring Festival, he had already noticed that Xu Nian had a bit of a "fierce" aura.

However, he is a very qualified agent and does not care at all about the artist's private life.

Even though he could guess that Mr. Xu had an unclear relationship with a certain singer who quit the industry, he didn't even discuss this topic with his wife Yu Ting.

.........

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Nian and Li Cheng arrived at the set in the same car. They had already fully communicated on the way.

In addition to matters related to the upcoming film, Li Cheng pays more attention to the follow-up.

He knew very well that Xu Nian would retreat after ball 2, but ball 2 was very dependent on Xu Nian.

It's normal to be a little concerned about some things.

In other words, in today's entertainment industry, if anything is linked to Xu Nian, it will lead to exaggerated dependence.

If he hadn't had some uncertainties, Li Cheng wouldn't have gone directly to the airport to pick him up.

Regarding all Li Cheng's concerns, Xu Nian only said one sentence: "Don't worry, I have a beginning and an end."

"If I wanted to be completely ruined, I wouldn't have acted in Ball 2 at all. You are so rich that it's exaggerated. I make more than you..."

Li Cheng: "..."

It makes sense to say that you are riding a horse.

Xu Nian made a lot of money from several movies. As a director and the absolute main creator, Li Cheng naturally made a lot of money!

.........

A few minutes later, Xu Nian smiled and chatted with everyone on the set, especially Scarlett, Green, Kristen and Qiuhua who had come from afar.

No grass.

There are many factors, the most important factor is that the other party has some baggage.

"Welcome to China..."

"I look forward to working with you to create a science fiction film that will amaze the world..."

At the end, Xu Nian also said a few words about the scene, and then the filming started.

There is nothing to say about the process.

Mr. Xu easily handled all the performance needs...

…………

On Sunday, April 4, the shooting of Ball 26, which lasted for a month and a half, was completed.

With Li Cheng's usual efficiency, it was a relatively reasonable shooting cycle.

This time is different from last time.

There was no rest or downtime in the middle, and the film was shot all the way to the end.

All emergencies during the process have been reasonably resolved. Those that can be resolved with experience are no big deal, and those that cannot be resolved with experience can be solved with money.

have nothing to say.

But the same thing as last time...On the day of filming, only Xu Nian was left as the main actor on the set.

Other main actors have already left one after another, such as Actor Long, who actually left together with Qiu Hua and the others.

All the photography equipment on the set was turned off, and the staff began to clean up. Only Li Cheng and Xu Nian were left standing together silently.

Li Cheng was the first to sigh: "Our cooperation has finally come to an end."

Xu Nian agreed: "Yes, we will never see such a scene in the future."
