The rich incense wafted through the air, loosening everyone's nerves. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gu Lian talked eloquently, and his eyes were clearer and clearer than ever. Fan Xuebing, who was enjoying the massage, seemed to be relaxed, but her slightly trembling ears revealed her attentive listening posture.

“…… Since Miss Fan fired her agent a few years ago and announced to the media that you can be your own agent, your acting career has indeed developed a lot. It's just that Miss Fan seems to have a feeling that your career has reached a bottleneck. ”

Fan Xuebing was noncommittal.

Gu Lian continued, "In the past two years, the fashion events and cameo movies attended have almost exploded, regardless of the size of the event, regardless of the role of the movie, but whatever you can fight for, you have won it." Others say that you are the artist who is the best at stealing activities and scenes, but I think that these can only show that you are the most diligent artist. Who can guarantee that they will receive more than a dozen movies all year round and appear in good spirits in all kinds of public places? In order to rush for time, you can not sleep in your room for more than ten days, and all sleep in the car. For this alone, there is no comparison between those actresses who have just graduated from drama school. ……”

"Hey, have you had enough of the sycophants?" Fan Xuebing said so, the corners of her lips turned up slightly, obviously Gu Lian's words made her feel very appropriate.

"I'm judging matter-of-factly, and you may not like to listen to the next words." Gu Lian smiled, a little evil.

"I see, you give a sweet date before slapping me so that I can be mentally prepared, right, you say!" Fan Xuebing urged, her tone much closer than Fang Cai.

"Since last year, Miss Fan has released more than a dozen movies, which sound scary and imposing, but there are not many who are really starring you. Although you have performed in many big-budget movies, many of them are cameos or so-called important supporting roles that only appear in a few minutes of footage, and there is only one "Spring Grass" by fifth-generation director He Xin who can be called the heroine, but the female character in this movie is a foil, and the box office is not good. And the film "Mountain City", which just won you the Tokyo Film Festival Queen's Award, has not yet been released, because it is a literary film, many theaters are not optimistic, and it is difficult to say how many screenings can be arranged for it at that time. Gu Lian really spoke very politely, and pointed out the weakness behind Fan Xuebing's seemingly beautiful momentum.

Fan Xuebing listened very interestingly, "What you said, my competitors can also see it." ”

"That's not all I have to say. I don't know if anyone in Miss Fan's agency team has told you that it is still too reluctant for you to go behind the scenes now. ”

As soon as these words came out, Fan Xuebing frowned slightly, and Gu Lian knew that she had guessed correctly.

"I never told the media that I wanted to go behind the scenes." Fan Xuebing's question is in this declarative sentence.

"But you said you were interested in producers. Moreover, you came to the Shanghai TV Festival this time, not only because you were invited by the organizer to be a special judge, but also for another purpose, right? Gu Lian smiled lightly, "I have been in Huayue for a short time, and the days of contact with Sister Ming and them are not short, it is not in vain that I went to Huayue and was driven out for nothing." At least I knew that by the time I left Huayue, there were two or three artists in the company who were already ready to move. Although Ms. Fan made it clear that she would renew her contract with Huayue, she also hoped to get more relaxed conditions. Some people even said......" Speaking of this, Gu Lian paused.

"Say what?" Fan Xuebing's eyes squinted.

"Said that you and Mr. Yu had a quarrel, if Mr. Yu didn't agree to your conditions, you have a way to leave Huayue. Others have seen you meet with some well-connected writers in the circle and talk about being a producer and wanting to set up an independent studio. Gu Lian said, while secretly glad that when the Tianjiao incident happened some time ago, he took the opportunity to chat a lot with Ren Liang, Wei Wenhong's agent who took the initiative to hook up.

Ren Liang was determined to win over Gu Lian to deal with Tianjiao with her at that time, and she was enthusiastic about pleasing Gu Lian, and some of them didn't say a lot of things, Ren Liang was more gossipy, and she was more concerned about all possible competitors in the company, and knew more than other employees, plus Gu Lian deliberately talked without a trace, so she naturally heard a lot of news from Huayue Company.

After the Tianjiao incident was finally concluded by Gu Lian and Sister Ming's peace negotiations, Ren Liang only made a phone call to express his dissatisfaction, and he never contacted Gu Lian again, and his early enthusiasm was gone. Gu Lian is fine, so he won't take the initiative to contact her.

"Indie studio?" Fan Xuebing closed her eyes, not knowing what expression to make, "This circle is really too small to hide any secrets." This is a tacit acquiescence.

"It's not that the circle is too small, it's that you're too much attention." Gu Lian shook his head and said, "Actually, Miss Fan planned to run an acting school by herself before, but later, it may be for various reasons, and finally accepted the invitation of a local performing arts school and served as the honorary principal of that art school." By all indications, it's not impossible to find you going behind the scenes. ”

"But you think it's not appropriate for me to be behind the scenes?"

"It's not that it's inappropriate, it's that it's not the right time yet." Calm analysis is Gu Lian's specialty, and she is confident that she can convince Fan Xuebing, "Looking at the more successful female artists in the entertainment industry who have shifted from the front of the stage to the backstage, they are nothing more than turning to directors, producers, and opening their own studios to be bosses, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they have not completely turned behind the scenes." Whether they are directors or producers, they still haven't discarded their advantages in front of the stage, look at the film and television works they have directed or produced, most of them are in person to play the leading role, and no matter how bad they are, they will make a cameo role. And the success of their behind-the-scenes works is not unrelated to the network resources they have accumulated in front of the stage. With Ms. Fan's current background, it is not difficult to turn behind the scenes to get a response, but how to reach the top. I think if you just want to do general behind-the-scenes work, it shouldn't be Miss Fan's purpose, right? ”

Gu Lian saw a look of agreement on Fan Xuebing's face, "With all due respect, your work in front of the stage is still a certain distance from the high recognition of the public, and the current status of the front line is not very stable. In such a situation, you can't wait to be behind the scenes, but it will delay your continuous development to a certain level in front of the stage. ”

"You mean, you want me to wait? So what does it mean to reach the highest peak? I see that Guo Xiaolei was a director when she was still a TV actor, and now she is doing well. Fan Xuebing was a little unconvinced.

Gu Lian nodded, and did not deny her example, "Guo Xiaolei is a well-known and influential female artist in front of and behind the scenes in China, but her success has a lot of chance and luck factors, as the first star to open a blog on the Bailang website and occupy the first place in the click-through rate for a long time, she seized this opportunity to take the lead in establishing the image of a talented woman's intellectuality, and then published books, albums, and directors, almost all the fields that artists can try She is involved." After directing two literary films and winning awards, the last two urban love commercial films have done well at the box office, making her a promising new female director for many investors. Reaching her level is no longer the result of her packaging and publicity alone and a separate team, but many stakeholders will build her image. Her success can no longer be replicated. If others want to learn, they may end up as a toddler. ”

Noticing the impatient expression on Fan Xuebing's face, Gu Lian ended her explanation of Guo Xiaolei's success model, "I think that if you really want to go behind the scenes, Miss Fan's starting point can be higher than hers, and her achievements can be greater than hers." The premise is that when Miss Fan truly establishes her status as an unshakable first-class movie star in front of the stage. ”

Gu Lian swallowed his saliva, and after saying so many words at once, his mouth was a little dry. However, before she could speak, Fan Xuebing had already asked the assistant to bring a cup of chrysanthemum tea and put it in Gu Lian's hand.

Gu Lian didn't shirk it, took a sip, and then continued to speak.

"Guo Xiaolei has made full use of her resources, but she has already reached the ceiling, and it will be difficult for her to go further. She herself debuted as a pure actress in front of the stage, and she has not won any awards, and the few movies she acted in front of the director basically have no response, so it can be said that her own acting skills have not been widely recognized. In addition, she has directed several literary films that have won some foreign awards, but they do not belong to the world's five major international film festival awards, which are relatively recognized, which is not a big achievement. The last two commercial films have been very successful, and her next film is still a commercial route, which is very dangerous, and so many excellent directors in China are exploring this road, I don't think she can achieve inevitable success again. Of course, it is very rare for a female artist to achieve her results. Didn't Miss Fan want to surpass her? ”

"Then what do you think I can do to surpass her?"

"In terms of connections, I believe that Miss Fan will not lose to her now, or even have an advantage over her. As an actor, the Tokyo Film Festival is the first international award you have won, and the next step is to be shortlisted in the film selection of China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and establish the status of a domestic powerful actress, there is no reason why your starting point is not high; In terms of wrist and brain, these Miss Fan will only surpass it. When Miss Fan has a few more influential film works, and then talks about the transformation behind the scenes, I believe that more investors will be interested in it, and the tide will rise, and Miss Fan's achievements and influence will definitely not be below any female artist. ”

Fan Xuebing waved her hand to the masseur and asked her to go down. He got up and sat on the bed, looking sideways at Gu Lian, "It seems that you have planned it for me?" ”

"Don't dare, this is just my suggestion, you can refer to it or scoff at it, I'm just saying it, I won't have anything to lose if you think it makes sense or not. Also, I understand," Gu Lian's lips turned up.

Fan Xuebing looked at her.

"Miss Fan's ambitions are ambitious, the opponents in front of her are no longer a problem, and her eyes have been fixed on Guo Xiaolei, who currently belongs to the well water with you and does not violate the river water." Gu Lian took another sip of tea and said leisurely.

"If I had only focused on the opponent in front of me, how could I have come this far." Fan Xuebing finally put down the shelf and laughed heartily, "But sometimes if you look too far, you will inevitably ignore the garbage under your feet." At this point, I need someone who can help me clean up the trash quickly, you know? ”

"I understand, the premise is that this person must have this ability, otherwise it may become your new garbage, and then it will be troublesome." Gu Lian blinked and smiled.

"It's very comfortable to talk to you, it's completely effortless." Fan Xuebing resisted the urge to hire Gu Lian immediately, "I really hope that you have the ability to prove to me that you can always communicate with me so comfortably in the future." ”

"I was also pleasantly surprised to talk to Miss Fan. The results of the second round of assessment, Miss Fan will wait and see. ”

"We'll see."

Fan Xuebing and Gu Lian looked at each other and smiled. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
