Huang Xiaoming looked at Liu Dong, who greeted him enthusiastically, with a complicated expression, when he first met him last year, he was still a small supporting role in the crew, and the entire crew couldn't count the two hands of an actor like him.

Originally, with Huang Xiaoming's arrogance, he would not take the initiative to talk to an actor of this level, but at that time, he just saw that Liu Yifei seemed to know him, so he chatted a few words.

But when they met for the second time, Liu Dong changed from a small supporting role to the leading actor of a TV series, although it was a unit drama.

If that's the case, forget it, after all, there is still an insurmountable gap with Huang Xiaoming before.

But some time ago, I happened to see the great changes in the crew of "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" on the news, and the original position of Hong Jinbao's second male was replaced by a little-known actor.

At that time, Huang Xiaoming looked at the two words Liu Dong on the screen with a face full of disbelief, and even rubbed his eyes unconsciously, and after making sure that he was not dazzled, he found a news with pictures, and the familiar face standing next to Liu Dehua and talking made him feel calm for a long time.

That is the second male lead in a costume production, a role that even Huang Xiaoming can't reach, and it was actually taken by an actor who was far behind him.

This year is the ninth year that Huang Xiaoming has entered the industry, and he has starred in more than ten TV series so far, including many excellent TV series such as "The Son of Heaven" and "New Shanghai Beach".

even last year, he was selected as one of the new four major students together with Deng Chao, Chen Kun, and Liu Ye, and he is like the leader of the new generation of male actors.

But compared with the achievements in the TV series, there are only a handful of opportunities to appear on the big screen, and they are all insignificant small roles, and the one with the most scenes is still last year's "Night Banquet", which is known as the Chinese version of "Hamlet", in which he played the male number three.

And the other three who are also the four junior students have far surpassed him in their achievements on the big screen.

Chen Kun's "Balzac's Little Tailor" and "The Ballad of Yunshui" have a high reputation, and have been nominated for many Chinese and foreign awards, and now he is about to star in the costume blockbuster "Painted Skin".

Liu Ye won the Golden Horse Best Actor in one fell swoop with "Lan Yu" directed by Guan Jinpeng in 01, starring in many literary films.

Deng Chao, who is also in the same company, filmed a war blockbuster "Assembly Number" this year, starring as the second male lead, and the Chinese New Year file will be released.

Not only are actors who are lagging behind their peers, but now even the small role of Liu Dong is running in front of him, which makes Huang Xiaoming, who has a strong self-esteem, unacceptable.

"Yes, which character is it?" asked Huang Xiaoming absentmindedly.

"Pang Yong, a supporting role in the movie!" Liu Dong said lightly, he also saw the expression on Huang Xiaoming's face, he was 30 years old and didn't know how to hide his emotions.

"Male number two?" Huang Xiaoming immediately raised his voice when he heard this, and looked at Liu Dong in disbelief.

He naturally understands the films invested by his own company, and when he heard that he was going to find Chen Kun to be the leading actor, he went to Wang Zhongjun to fight for it, but he was politely rejected because of his lack of experience on the big screen.

The actor wanted to fight for the second male lead if he didn't want him, but he was still refused, and asked him to finish filming the "Deer and Ding Ji" at hand first.

A role that he can't get even because he has the advantage of time and place, Liu Dong actually came to audition!

Although the audition is not equal to the final candidate, not everyone is eligible to participate in the audition, doesn't that mean that Liu Dong's status on the big screen is no less than him, and even surpasses?

Liu Dong didn't care about his gaze, and said with a smile, "The second male lead is also a supporting role, far from being comparable to the protagonist, Brother Xiao Ming, what are you filming recently?"

In Huang Xiaoming's opinion, Liu Dong's words were clearly laughing at him, and he couldn't even get a supporting role, and he was ashamed and indignant.

Just when he was at a loss, the elevator door opened with a "ding".

Huang Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, hurriedly left two sentences, and walked out of the elevator with the assistant team in a "hurry".

"I recently filmed "The Legend of Deer and Ding" in Hengdian, and took three days off for the promotion of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", I will leave first if I have something to do, and I will have the opportunity to reunite again in the future!"

Liu Dong shook his head and didn't care about him, the two had only worked together in the same crew for a while, and they were far from having any friendship, and he didn't have to care about other people's opinions.

"What do you think Huang Xiaoming can go in the future?" Walking on the way to the parking lot, Liu Dong suddenly spoke.

"It's a line on the big screen!" Li Manyu didn't want to say casually.

"So what line does he count now?"

"A first-line TV series star, barely a second-tier movie star!"

"What about me?"

"The third line, I got the actor of "The Beauty of the Country", and after the release, it will be the second line!"

"Are you so sure that Huang Xiaoming can go to the front line, he has never starred in a movie that can be called now?"

"With Huayi's support, can he not go to the front line?"

"In that case, then why doesn't he have any decent movie resources in Huayi?" Liu Dong asked something that had always been strange to him, last year's "Night Banquet" male number two was given to outsiders, and Huang Xiaoming only got one male number three.

"If last year's "Night Banquet" was successful, the actor of "Painted Skin" would be him, but unfortunately it is not good at the box office or word of mouth. It is precisely because of Huang Xiaoming's support that Hua Yi is so cautious, if he rashly helps him up, a little movie failure will hurt him even more!" Li Manyu explained.

"Any sensible company will not blindly praise an actor, and it doesn't matter whether the ability is enough or not, whether the role is suitable or not, just knowing that giving him all the high-quality roles will do more harm than good unless luck goes against the sky. ”

"The right thing to do is to be like Huayi, plan for the long term, work steadily, and slowly accumulate popularity. Huayi's current plan is to shoot TV series first to accumulate popularity, selectively take on some supporting roles in movies, and wait until the popularity accumulates to a certain extent, even if the starring big-budget movies in the future will not be able to turn over. ”

It turns out that this is the case, it is precisely with a solid popularity foundation that Huang Xiaoming was able to pounce again and again on the big screen but still be at the forefront of Mesozoic actors, which is simply "as stable as a dog"!

In comparison, Liu Yifei has been popular for a while, although she seems to be famous and has many fans, she is far less solid than Huang Xiaoming, which leads to pounce again and again and cannot turn over.

"What about me, what is the plan and route you have laid out for me?"

Li Manyu turned his head to look at him and said with a smile, "Isn't it the path you are taking now, from the little dragon set to the small supporting role, the main supporting role, the second male lead, all the way to the male protagonist, you have to grasp the opportunity to go further, and next year you should consider taking on a popular TV series to gain popularity!"
