Chapter 43 Guest appearance in "The Peerless Two Prides"

"The circle is small?" Chen Derong tasted this sentence carefully and nodded in agreement: "That makes sense."

Nowadays, the Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television circles are in decline, and the mainland film and television industry has just started. The output of film and television dramas on both sides is not much, so it is normal for actors to often bump into each other.

Xiao Qiang couldn't help but joke: "You guys are so engrossed in the conversation, I feel like an outsider."

Lin Xuan glanced at her and smiled: "Then let's go in first."

"Let's go."

Xiao Qiang held Chen Derong's arm and walked in front, and the two of them whispered:
"Let me tell you, Lin Xuan didn't want to come originally, but as soon as I said your name, he came over immediately."

"Really."

Chen Derong covered her mouth and chuckled, looking back at him.

Lin Xuan silently followed the two beauties. When he heard Xiao Qiang talking bad about him, he said:

"Hey, hey, you actually dare to slander Master You behind his back. You want to bully your master and destroy your ancestors."

Chen Derong turned back curiously: "Master?"

Xiao Qiang rolled his eyes and explained to her:

"I just joined the team. I don't know many things, and the director doesn't have time to guide me, so I let him teach me."

Chen Derong asked: "Then his acting skills must be very good."

Xiao Qiang thought for a while: "Well, it seems good. The director said that filming his scenes is very easy. Whether it is a literary or martial arts scene, he can basically pass it in three or four times."

"Wow, that's pretty impressive."

…………

The three of them wandered to the set and stopped by the Qin Palace on the way.

The crew had long known that someone was coming to visit the cast, and director Li Guoli and several leading actors came out to greet them.

"Hello, long time no see."

Xiao Qiang smiled and waved hello.

Most of these leading actors know each other, and some of them are members of the Xia Family Class.

"A little gift, let's share it with everyone."

After speaking, the assistant handed the purchased gifts to the staff for distribution.

"Xiao Xiao, is this handsome guy your boyfriend?"

Before Xiao Qiang could introduce him, someone took the initiative to ask.

Xiao Qiang smiled and shook his head: "No, this is my new friend Lin Xuan. He happened to have nothing to do today, so he came with me to visit the class."

"Oh, flower protector."

A few people started laughing and making noise, but Xiao Qiang joked with them calmly.

At this time, director Li Guoli took a few steps closer and said, "You are Lin Xuan, the newly signed artist of Wang Jinhua Company."

"Yes, the director is really well-informed." Lin Xuan was a little surprised that Li Guoli actually knew him.

Li Guoli explained: "Before the filming of "Peerless Two Prouds" started, Wang Jinhua submitted your resume. I thought you had a good image and I was going to let you audition. As a result, you have already been included in the filming."

"That's such a pity." Lin Xuan said modestly.

"It's okay. There will definitely be a chance in the future. Let's go in and sit down."

Several people came to the crew lounge.

Because the director was busy with something, he only said a few words about the scene and left.

Xiao Qiang, Chen Derong, and Li Qihong who plays Little Pepper, the three women sat together and talked about themselves.

Lin Xuan could only sit on the side with Su Youpeng and Lin Zhiyin, staring at each other.

I don’t know what to talk about when we meet for the first time, so we can’t just sit there all the time.

Although these people all have higher positions than him, Lin Xuan did not have stage fright and kept his posture very calm.

"Brother Peng, when will "My Fair Princess 2" be released? I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

Lin Xuan casually found an entry point.

"It's coming soon, it seems to start broadcasting next month."

Su Youpeng thought Lin Xuan was deliberately looking for a topic.

After all, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" is so popular that many mainlanders who don't like to listen to music know him through this drama.

"That's great, I even played a supporting role in it."

"Ah! You..." Su Youpeng looked surprised.Xiao Qiang on the other side heard this and interrupted: "Have you also acted in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 2"?"

Lin Xuan corrected her: "Listen clearly, I'm not participating in the show, I'm just playing a supporting role."

Chen Derong sighed again: "You are right, this circle is really too small."

Lin Zhiyin grasped the key point: "You even had a supporting role. I thought you were from the film school."

Lin Xuan shook his head and laughed at himself: "I'm from rural areas. My family didn't have the money to send me to film school, so I started out as a sidekick when I was 17."

"That's quite hard."

Hearing this, several people nodded in admiration.

They all come from pretty good backgrounds and don't realize the hardships of being a part-time job.

But with the two key words "no money" and "17 years old", one can imagine how much hardship Lin Xuan has endured.

The chatter box opened up, and the atmosphere of the subsequent chat became much more harmonious.

Lin Xuan is very good at finding topics.

I asked some sisters how to choose skin care products, talked with Su Youpeng about the "Little Tigers", and talked with Lin Zhiyin about racing, F1, and Schumacher.

These people were so busy chatting that they forgot to ask: How do you, a bitch from a rural background, know so many things?

After staying in the lounge for half an hour, a staff member knocked on the door and informed them that filming was about to begin.

Xiao Qiang stood up and prepared to leave: "Then I won't disturb you. I'm treating you tonight, so be sure to come."

Lin Xuan also said goodbye to them.

At this time Li Guoli walked in and asked: "Xiao Qiang, Lin Xuan, you two have nothing to do these days, right?"

"No." The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

Li Guoli smiled and said: "That's great. There are two small roles in the crew. You can come and make a guest appearance."

"Okay."

Of course Xiao Qiang is fine, as her boss invested in this drama, but Lin Xuan is more troublesome.

"I have no problem with the time, but I have to ask my agent first."

"It's okay, you can ask now."

Once contracted artists are involved in this matter, they must obtain the company's consent.

Li Guoli is a shareholder of Tangren Film and Television and knows the company's rules very well.

Lin Xuan left the lounge, found a deserted corner, and dialed Wang Jinhua's cell phone:
"Sister Hua, I have something to tell you. I accompanied my friend to visit the crew of "The Two Prouds", and the director wanted me to play a guest role."

""Peerless Two Prouds"... is it directed by Li Guoli of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes, do you think I should agree?"

The other end of the phone was quiet for a few seconds:
"Of course there's no problem with guest appearances. Tangren is a film and television company, so it's just a favor. But you have to let Li Guoli communicate with Yuan Heping. After all, your schedule is with him."

"Okay Sister Hua, I understand."

After making the call, Lin Xuan returned to the lounge.

"Director Li, Sister Hua agrees. But I have to trouble you to communicate with Director Yuan Heping."

"I understand this. I'll ask Lao Xia to contact you."

The Lao Xia he refers to is the producer of this show, the boss of Xiao Qiang, Chen Derong, and Lin Zhiyin, and the famous "Wanwan's No. [-] Agent" Xia Yushun.

His status in the Wanwan circle is higher than that of Wang Jinhua at his peak, and he is responsible for half of Wanwan's stars.

With him stepping in, the guest appearance is basically settled.

Xiao Qiang was quite happy: "I didn't expect that we would be able to cooperate so soon."

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Play well, don't hold me back."

Xiao Qiang rolled his eyes at him charmingly: "Director Li, who should we play?"

Li Guoli took out two scripts and handed them over: "Have you read the original work? You play Jiang Feng and Yue Nu, the parents of Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wuque."

"I've seen it." Xiao Qiang was very satisfied with the role and even teased Lin Xuan: "We play a couple, does the director have a kissing scene?"

The leading actors laughed immediately, but Lin Xuan laughed awkwardly.

Over in Wanwan, it's normal for girls to tease men in public.

Director Li Guoli also joined in the cheering: "Yes, as many scenes as you want, I will add them to you."

After setting the filming time, the two left the crew and returned to the hotel with the script.
