Chapter 106: Mockery at the Party
Xu Zheng's current situation is very embarrassing, let's say that he is a second-rate actor, he is better than a second-rate actor, but he is by no means first-class, it can be said that he is in a situation where he is not up or down, and it is very uncomfortable to be sandwiched between the two.
Xu Zheng is ambitious, his goal is not only to survive one day and become a first-class actor with a salary of 200,000 yuan for a single episode, his goal is to become a movie superstar and make his name spread throughout China!
But now, it seems that this is still a very far away dream, let alone making movies and becoming a superstar, he is now worried about connecting films.
Since the mediocre results of the last filming, he has been idle at home for more than three months, and he knows that he was hidden, but the poor results are not only his reason, so he is also very angry.
Thinking that the generation that entered the entertainment industry at the same time as him and worked hard has either become a business card or is still on the way to struggle, and only he is idle at home, Xu Zheng's mood becomes very depressed.
As an actor, what you are most afraid of is being idle, once you are really idle, then it will be really difficult to be busy again, and it will be difficult to become famous again.
For three months, Xu Zheng did not let himself be idle, even if he did not have a film appointment, he still traveled around various studios, parties, and all places where he could meet insiders every day, hoping to find an opportunity for himself, although the hope was very slim, but he knew that if he didn't do it and just waited at home, then he might really have to be so silent.
On this day, Xu Zheng came to a party held by a well-known director in the circle, he didn't expect to encounter any opportunities, he knew that the possibility was very small, but the reason why he was so happy to participate in such a party was that he actually wanted to be familiar with his face and enhance his sense of existence, so that when someone has a suitable role, he may think of himself.
At the party, Xu Zheng, as usual, tried his best to communicate and talk to everyone who could, and he didn't have to talk much, just let them remember to know that there was still a person like himself.
Just when Xu Zheng was talking to a director in the circle, a voice suddenly sounded from beside him: "Yo, isn't this Xu Zheng, I heard that you have been living a leisurely life recently, but I envy me to death!" ”
Hearing this, Xu Zheng frowned slightly, it would be fine if it was placed in other professions, but in the industry of imitating actors, being idle is equivalent to slow death, this person is obviously mocking himself when he talks like this!
So Xu Zheng turned his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from, this is a man who looks slightly strong and very handsome, named Zhang Jing'an, originally Xu Zheng's junior, but because he is handsome and knows a little kung fu, he is much more popular than Xu Zheng, although he is the same as Xu Zheng, he belongs to the same type of actor as Xu Zheng, but his film appointments are much more than Xu Zheng.
Xu Zheng's frowning brows did not make Zhang Jingan shut up, Zhang Jingan walked to Xu Zheng's side with a smile, patted Xu Zheng on the shoulder, and then said: "Hey, it's a pity that I'm so busy, sometimes I don't even have time to eat, it's bitter!" ”
Saying that, Zhang Jingan really made a miserable expression on his face, if outsiders who didn't know the grievances between the two saw this scene, they wouldn't really think that Zhang Jingan was envious of Xu Zheng.
And insiders naturally understand what the word "idle" means for an actor, and for an actor, "leisurely" is by no means something that should be envied, but something that should be sympathized.
And Zhang Jingan is saying this now, and a fool can know that Zhang Jingan is deliberately mocking Xu Zheng.
Xu Zheng frowned and glanced at Zhang Jingan coldly, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and Zhang Jingan didn't say any nonsense, this kind of person, every time he said a word to him, Xu Zheng felt disgusted!
He knew why Zhang Jing'an was going down to ridicule himself now, and it was officially because of this that Xu Zheng was disgusted by this person who had a good skin.
When Zhang Jingan just entered the circle, he was assigned to Xu Zheng's subordinates by the company, and followed Xu Zheng to learn from experience, Xu Zheng was also very responsible for teaching Zhang Jingan some things, of course, sometimes it would be more strict, this Zhang Jingan still respected Xu Zheng very much at that time, which also made Xu Zheng do his best to teach his years of experience.
But what Xu Zheng didn't expect was that the saying that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs is really true, Zhang Jingan respected himself when he was learning things behind him, but once he was enabled to film by the company, he was exposed when he stood at the same height as himself, especially when he encountered a low point in his career.
This Zhang Jing'an not only did not help himself, but also found every opportunity to be sarcastic, the reason was that he thought that he was too strict with him at the beginning, and thought that his education was actually bullying him!
For this kind of person, Xu Zheng didn't want to say more, Zhang Jing'an's kindness would take revenge, which made him feel disgusted.
So Xu Zheng turned around directly and chose to avoid Zhang Jingan.
But Zhang Jingan was not satisfied, he finally caught Xu Zheng once, how could he just let Xu Zheng go.
Zhang Jingan also knows his current identity, and he must not be able to shout like an arrogant and domineering nouveau riche or a rich second generation, so he has always been incarnated as a smiling tiger to sneer at Xu Zheng, he is waiting, waiting for Xu Zheng to stand the anger erupting, once Xu Zheng makes the first move or uses foul language, he can fight back!
Counterattack and finding fault are two different things, and compared with the two, it is obvious that counterattack is more justified and more acceptable.
"Hey, Xu Zheng, why did you leave, do you want to go back and enjoy a comfortable life?" Zhang Jingan is also worthy of being a professional actor, and there is no trace of ridicule on his face and tone, as if he really cares about his good friends.
Zhang Jing'an's thoughts, how could Xu Zheng not know, and how could Xu Zheng fall for his plan, the intrigue in the entertainment industry Xu Zheng has seen a lot and coped with a lot, it is not at all comparable to Zhang Jingan, a stunned young man who has just debuted, Xu Zheng chose to avoid it, but subjectively he didn't want to talk to Zhang Jingan.
Xu Zheng's silence seemed to Zhang Jing'an to be soft, which made Zhang Jing'an even worse, and the trace of ridicule at the corner of his mouth finally couldn't be concealed, and said: "Xu Zheng, I still lack a little eunuch on the set, do you want to try it?" ”
Zhang Jingan's words shocked Xu Zheng's body, and then turned around and stared at Zhang Jing'an, with a trace of anger in his eyes, this Zhang Jing'an is too much!
The two have now attracted the attention of some people around them, and it's not a big deal to watch the excitement, although they didn't cheer up, but they were all watching from the side, and a few reporters who mixed in even took out their cameras, maybe this is some big news, looking at the formation, it seems that they are going to fight if they don't agree with each other, actors fight, it's rare!
The anger in Xu Zheng's eyes did not frighten Zhang Jing'an, and even made Zhang Jing'an happy, things are developing in the direction of his plan, in order to make Xu Zheng angry quickly, Zhang Jingan added another handful of firewood: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with playing a eunuch, I think your image is quite suitable, maybe it will become popular all of a sudden!" ”
Zhang Jingan's words can be said to be very excessive, and anyone who hears them can't help it, and of course Xu Zheng is the same.
But just as Xu Zheng was about to fight back, a middle-aged man who looked to be about thirty years old suddenly squeezed out of the crowd of onlookers, and the middle-aged man smiled at Zhang Jingan and said, "I see that the role you mentioned is actually very suitable for you!" As for Xu Zheng, he now has more important work to do! ”
