Chapter 260: Domineering Gold Master (2)

It's just that Zhong Ying is not from a professional class, and no one systematically teaches him to act. He doesn't know how to act, but he just wants to be an actor. The little agent who discovered Zhong Ying was not right-minded, and after he deceived people into the company with clever words, he told Zhong Ying that if he wanted to get a chance, he had to pay a price, such as accompanying him to drink, selling his body or something.

Of course Zhong Ying refused, so he was hidden by the company.

Huijing Entertainment is flourishing, and the staff inside is inevitably mixed, especially the people in the entertainment industry are mixed, and it is normal to have an agent like Zhong Ying. Zhong Ying is not the first to be deceived. However, even if some people find out that they have been deceived, they are also blinded by the colorful entertainment industry, and they ask their agents to go astray.

And Zhong Ying is different, he is more persistent than others, and it is not easy to compromise, so he is still a little transparent.

Zhong Ying had no experience back then, and was fooled by a small agent into signing a ten-year contract, and the amount of compensation for breaking the contract was something that Zhong Ying's family from a small citizen could not make up in his life. If the contract can't be terminated, Zhong Ying won't be able to change jobs.

In fact, a person like him who is pure, stubborn, inflexible, and has an ordinary family background, even if he changes jobs, he may not be able to get out of the way.

In the past two years, Zhong Ying has often gone to the set alone to find opportunities. He has no connections and connections, so he can only play tricks. is a trick, Zhong Ying also seized the time to consult some seniors and dig out his heart to learn acting.

It's just that you can only learn a little bit from this kind of study, the tricks that those seniors gave to Zhong Ying are complicated and confusing, and the methods that suit others may not be suitable for him, and they don't do him much, and his acting skills haven't improved much.

……

Jing Lin and Anya felt that Zhong Ying looked average because they were used to seeing too many handsome guys and beauties with different temperaments. There is no shortage of beauties in the entertainment industry, who can stand in front of the identities of Jing Lin and Anya, which one is not one in a million in appearance and outstanding in temperament? Zhong Yi's appearance and lack of eye-catching temperament are naturally ordinary.

Before Cen Lao and Li Lao saw Zhong Ying, they were ready for the worst in their hearts. If it weren't for the fact that there were juniors in the family who needed the resources and support of Huijing Entertainment, they would not want to go out of the mountain and teach a student who was "ordinary to useless", and lost their reputation. This evaluation is Anya's exact words. She is a frank person, she will not deceive the old-timers, nor will she praise Zhong Ying with a clear conscience. That's it!

The older generation of artists always cherished feathers. Cen Lao and Li Lao didn't accept many students ten years ago. Now that the two of them are old, they have no intention of toiling in vain. can't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the younger generations in the family, and can't grind the requests of several old friends who Anya asked to be lobbyists, Cen Lao and Li Lao still went out of the mountain. But the mood is not so good.

To the surprise of the two old-timers, although Zhong Ying's temperament is not obvious, he has a good appearance, a small grade, a non-professional background, and strong plasticity. Cen Lao and Li Lao are pleased that Zhong Ying loves to learn and drill, and loves acting, although he lacks a trace of spirituality, he is better than being diligent and hardworking, and has high comprehension. The knowledge taught to him can absorb six or seven points out of ten, which can be regarded as a piece of jade.

Cen Lao and Li Lao saw many actors who had aura but did not work hard in their early years, they were either arrogant and arrogant, or they were blinded by the flowers and greens of the entertainment industry, and wantonly squandered their talent and youth, these actors were generally just a flash in the pan; they also saw many actors who lacked spirituality but worked hard and ambitious, and such actors generally went further and more successfully. Because this kind of actor is self-aware, loves to work harder, and can endure loneliness, they are good at seizing and taking advantage of every opportunity around them to climb up, and they also cherish the opportunity that they finally get. They are always painstakingly managing the relationships and connections around them in order to create more opportunities for themselves.

Zhong Ying belongs to the second category, but he is luckier than the second category of actors. He doesn't have to bother to build relationships, try to expand his network, and seek cooperation everywhere to climb up. He already has the support of Mr. Fu, who is standing at the pinnacle of the entertainment industry, and the door of the entertainment industry has been opened for him.

As long as he is not hopelessly stupid, it is only a matter of time before he follows the path arranged for him by Mr. Fu step by step and reaches the top of the entertainment industry. Like Zhong Ying, who is a little smart and perceptive, it is difficult for a person not to succeed if he only concentrates on one thing in his life.

After carefully teaching Zhong Ying for more than half a year, after an industry assessment, Cen Lao and Li Lao strengthened their views: Zhong Ying's future development is promising. In view of the ability and connections of the Fu family and Mr. Fu, coupled with Zhong Ying's enthusiasm and dedication to acting, Cen Lao and Li Lao are almost certain that in five or six years at most, Zhong Ying will be known to everyone.

On this day, Jing Lin ended work early and went to the apartment to find Cen Lao and Li Lao to ask about Zhong Ying's recent study. The two old-timers smiled and told her about Zhong Ying's assessment results.

"In the past eight months, Zhong Ying has studied in strict accordance with the tasks we assigned every day, and has also gone to the studio of Huijing to practice many times, and he has made great progress each time. Now, his line skills, facial expressions, body language, positioning and other skills have basically been practiced at home. Especially the grasp of the camera, it is just perfect!"

"It's just that there are still some subtle expressions that are not in place, and this is also because Zhong Ying lacks special targeted exercises. When he comes down and practices more in front of the mirror, I believe it won't take long to do it well. On this assessment form, Zhong Ying's results in various subjects in the past eight months are recorded, and Lao Li and I are very satisfied with his last assessment, and he has made great progress!"

Cen Lao paused, took a sip of tea and moistened his throat: "Lao Li and I want to ask Mr. Fu to invite us to teach him, and naturally have great expectations for his future, so Zhong Ying has strengthened his language learning, and Zhong Ying should also develop internationalization in the future, and it is always good to master a few more languages." We privately contacted a few old friends who had retired from Kyoto University of Foreign Studies, and let Zhong Ying learn four foreign languages. Focusing on learning English, practicing British and American pronunciation, Zhong Ying is now proficient in using the standard London and New York accents to converse with foreign friends......"

"It's really troublesome for Lao Cen and Li Lao. Jing Lin didn't expect the two old-timers to think so well for Zhong Ying, it seems that they treated Zhong Ying as a closed disciple. This friendship will have to be reciprocated by Zhong Ying in the future.

"Zhong Ying, this young man, is smarter and more motivated than Lao Cen and I thought. We all liked him a lot. Li Laole said to Jing Lian: "Mr. Fu's vision is still extraordinary, but now he has dug a golden pimple for Huijing." If it weren't for Mr. Fu inviting us to come over and teach him, Lao Cen Ke and I would have missed this good seedling. Zhong Ying, this kid, was also lucky to meet a noble person like Mr. Fu who planned for him. ”

Li Lao finished filming Jing Lone's sycophants in a ridiculous tone with an acquaintance, and seeing that Jing Lone was in a good mood, he began to enter the theme: "I heard that Huijing is preparing a fantasy blockbuster for the New Year at the end of the year, and invited the martial arts director to take the lead and the cutting-edge screenwriter to grind the script, ready to invest 500 million ......"

When Cen Lao heard this, he remembered the grandson who jumped up and down at home and begged him to pave the way, and interjected: "Lao Li and I heard that Huijing has set the actor Qiu Hong as the male number one, and the people who play the female number one and the male number two have not yet been decided, and they are being cast publicly. I wonder if the two children of Lao Li's family and I have a chance to join?"

Before Jing Lin came to the apartment, he happened to have a small meeting with Wu Dao and Yan Ran, the amount of investment in the Chinese New Year blockbuster is not small, the board of directors and investors are afraid of problems, and they are very concerned, Jing Lian, as the president of the company, naturally also pays attention to this film. She also wants Zhong Ying to play a role in it that is likable but requires acting skills, to see if he is really as Cen Lao and Li Lao said in the past eight months, and he has basically learned everything in place.

Jing Lin knew what Cen Lao and Li Lao meant, and he couldn't ask for a role for the younger generations in the family, Cen Yun, the grandson of Cen Lao's family, and Li Shuyan, the granddaughter of Li Lao, Jing Lin also knew.

These two are popular artists under Huijing, Cen Yun and Li Shuyan were born in a family of performing arts, they have been heard and seen by their elders since they were children, of course, they have acting skills, but they are young and lack of qualifications, and now the company mainly arranges them to act in some youth idol dramas and urban light comedies, attract fans to them, improve their popularity, and pave the way for future development.

This was the condition for Jing Lin to invite Cen Lao and Li Lao out of the mountain.

Obviously, these two young people have a lot of ambitions, and they want to partner with Qiu Hong, an actor who is popular all over the world, and take advantage of Qiu Hong's popularity to increase their popularity and worth through Chinese New Year blockbusters.

Cen Yun and Li Shuyan obviously knew that if they relied on open casting, they had no hope at all. Not to mention how many seniors in Huijing have better qualifications and acting skills than them, they are all staring at those two roles; there are many well-known artists from large and small companies outside Huijing, who are also eager to try. Even if you don't go to the actor Qiu Hong, you have to go to the martial arts director.

Everyone in the circle knows that the martial arts director easily does not make films, and he will definitely produce high-quality products as soon as he makes a shot. You must know that the first two works made by Director Wu won the most prestigious Golden Phoenix Award for Best Film in China and even in the world, as well as awards such as Best Actor, Best Female Lead, and Best Newcomer, and became popular with many stars.

Thinking about this Chinese New Year blockbuster co-produced with the popular screenwriter Xuan Ran and Huijing Entertainment, while it is a big hit, it will also harvest a lot of awards with high gold content.

Even if it's not for fame and awards, if you can participate in the Chinese New Year blockbuster, get in touch with big names such as Wu Dao, Huijing executives, and Su Ran, and let these big names remember their faces and names, it will be more conducive to their future development.

To sum up, 90% of the well-known actors and actresses between the ages of 18 and 35 in China today are aiming at the two important roles of the first female and the second male who are publicly cast.

Most of the rest of the people had to give up regrettably because they had already had a work arrangement and could not transfer out the schedule.

If it weren't for Director Wu's early release of these two roles, which can only be played by Chinese people, actors from countries such as Mi and Eagle would have come to compete. Wu Dao is also very popular in the world.

Jing Lin certainly knows how important these two characters are, and how many people covet them. She had already reached a consensus with Wu Dao and Xuan Ran that the selection of these two roles must be fair and just, and only the most suitable actors can be selected, regardless of fame and background, and they will not accept related households.

Jing Xiao politely refused: "Cen Lao, Li Lao, since Ah Yun and Shu Ya are interested in this film, of course we welcome them to come to the audition." Just now I was still talking about the meeting with Director Wu and Yan Ran, and I am afraid that there will be many actors running for the public casting this time. In order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the election, we plan to film the entire election process, put it on the live broadcast website under our company's name, broadcast it live simultaneously, and let the audience participate in the vote, and be sure to choose the most suitable female protagonist and male lead. ”

In this way, the fairness of the casting is ensured, and the second is that it can be hyped in advance, arousing the curiosity of the people and mobilizing the enthusiasm of the audience. Jing Lin saw that Cen Lao and Li Lao had a bad face, and said: "Presumably the second elder also knows the importance that our company attaches to this Chinese New Year blockbuster." 500 million is just a conservative estimate, Director Wu also told me today, the most important thing in a fantasy blockbuster is the production of special effects in the later stage, if the special effects are not good enough, the whole film will be ruined. He asked us to hire a few more special effects teams as backups, and we would use whichever one would be used in the later stage to see who had the best effect. As a result, the amount of investment is bound to increase significantly. The board of directors and other investors are watching the film. For such important roles as the first female and the second male, I can't settle people, and I won't settle people casually. I'm also a businessman, so I can't joke with my money and that of investors. If I mess up, not to mention that investors and the board of directors are looking for me to settle accounts, even Wu Dao and Xuan Ran will not let me go. This film, but the two of them have been preparing for three years. However, there are two supporting roles with heavier scenes, which can be given a try. I heard the acting skills of Ah Yun and Shuya mentioned by the agent, and it is no problem at all. I just don't know if they can see it?"

Cen Lao and Li Lao are not old and confused, Jing Lin has said it to this point, where are they embarrassed to give her a look, but the grandson and granddaughter are older, and they have their own ideas, and the two of them are not good at answering Jing Lin immediately, "Mr. Fu, let's do it, we asked Ah Yun and Shu Ya when we go back, and then give you an answer, is it okay?"

"Then you two have to move faster, it's these two characters, there are many people to fight. There are several brothers and sisters in our company who are asking. ”

"Then we'll go out and call the kid right away. Let Zhong Ying come in and tell you about what he's gained during this time. Li Lao hurriedly smiled at Jing Lonely, and flexibly pulled Cen Lao out of the study and called in the living room.

Zhong Ying waited anxiously in the living room for a long time, and when he saw Cen Lao and Li Lao hurriedly coming out, he stepped forward in three or two steps: "Teacher Cen and Teacher Li, is Mr. Fu still satisfied with my performance?"

"I'm very satisfied. Li Lao didn't have time to take care of Zhong Ying, and sat aside on the phone.

Cen Lao touched his mobile phone and said to Zhong Ying: "Don't panic, I think Mr. Fu is very easy to talk." Mr. Fu is still waiting for you inside, come in. Don't ask people to wait. The total amount of time is precious. ”

"Then I'll go. Zhong Ying took two deep breaths, squeezed out a quiet and perfect smile, and pushed the door in.

"Mr. Fu, I don't know if my performance during this period of time has met your requirements?" Zhong Ying politely bent over Jing Jing and greeted him respectfully. Facing this Mr. Fu, Zhong Ying is always very nervous, afraid that he will not be as good as Mr. Fu's intentions, and he will not be able to act in the future.

"Don't talk about me. What about yourself?" Jing Xiao cocked his left leg on his right leg, leaned back, and exuded a calm confidence and elegance, "Are you satisfied with your performance?"
