Chapter 10: The Man Behind It
It was almost ten o'clock when Qi Yi and the two were sent away, An Shufen had recently recovered and slept relatively early, and she went back to her room to sleep as soon as the two left.
The living room was quiet all of a sudden, and Shen Youzhi sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding his mobile phone and scrolling through Weibo. In the early days of her debut, she often played Weibo, and when Weibo was popular, she stopped playing again, she just liked to watch Weibo, and she didn't publish content comments or anything.
For this reason, Fang Tao complained for a long time: "You and we are really not from the same era!" People also posted on Weibo to solicit a few fans, you look at you, and say that you don't want to let me help you run it, it's just..."Fang Tao didn't know what to say for a long time, so he could only sigh long.
Gu Cong took the remote control for a long time, and finally watched the basketball game on the sports channel. Shen Youzhi swiped Weibo, looked up at the TV, looked at the time, and prepared to wash up and make a mask to sleep.
"I'll go to sleep first." Shen Youzhi stood up, said a word to Gu Cong, who was concentrating on watching the ball game, and walked to the room, "You should go to bed early!" ”
"Hmm!" Gu Cong turned his head to look at her and answered softly.
Suddenly, there was a feeling of getting along with a husband and wife who had been married for many years.
Recently, Shen Youzhi has not had many work arrangements, and he seems to be quite idle. It's not that he doesn't arrange for her, but Fang Tao wants to arrange for her and she doesn't let her, which makes Fang Tao quite helpless, but thinking of the big boss behind her, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only sigh: "I have a big life, but I don't have that ambition." ”
But it's not like she doesn't participate in any activities at all, and occasionally goes to the platform and sings a few songs or something. On such a salty and uneventful day, the release date of "Mom, Don't Go" has arrived.
Zhang Yimin is a person with box office appeal, plus several big-name starring actors, and the box office has achieved good results on the first day of release.
Gu Cong took the scene and accompanied An Shufen to the cinema to watch, An Shufen wanted to pull Shen Youzhi, but her attitude of not obeying was too strong, so she could only give up.
When she went home after watching the movie, An Shufen praised her, "The acting is so good, I am glad that you are so well-behaved when you become a bad boy in the play, I feel so distressed when you cry." ”
Gu Cong looked at Shen Youzhi with a complicated expression, and his heart hurt slightly, because he knew that she was really crying, not acting.
Sensing Gu Cong's gaze, Shen Youzhi looked over and asked with a smile, "Why do you look at me like this?" ”
Gu Cong regained his calm expression and asked rhetorically, "What do you look at?" ”
"Mom has commented on my good performance, what do you think?" Shen Youzhi asked curiously.
"Well, those months of study were quite useful." Gu Cong commented very attentively.
"Did you take that Xianxia drama?" Gu Cong sat on the sofa and took out his mobile phone to play games, and asked in a casual tone.
Shen Youzhi walked to the living room while drinking water with a cup, and when he heard the words, he responded, "I really want to take it." Instantly reacted to something, and looked at Gu Cong in surprise, "How do you know that I received that script?" ”
Gu Cong was stunned for a moment, raised his head and glanced at her, and then spoke for a while: "Fang Tao will report to me, and all the endorsements and scripts you receive must be approved by me." ”
Shen Youzhi opened his mouth wide and was speechless in surprise, is this the person who has always been a stranger to her?
Fang Tao felt that Shen Youzhi was a little strange today, the two were choosing the script, after he expressed various opinions, she would look at him with meaningful eyes from time to time, this gaze made Fang Tao a little stunned, and he finally couldn't help but be furious, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”
Shen Youzhi showed an expression that seemed to be smiling, and stared at him for a long time, seeing that he was about to go away before he spoke, "Brother Tao, I think you are more suitable to be an actor, or I will be your agent and guarantee that you will be an actor." ”
"Ouch, what am I going to play? Playing the true love of an ugly man and a beautiful woman? Fang Tao joked along with her meaning.
"Playing a spy, this is especially suitable." Shen Youzhi leaned on the back of the chair, still smiling.
Fang Tao looked at the pile of scripts on the table, and couldn't figure out how she could have thought of the word spy, "How can I see that I have such a skill?" ”
"Life archetype, you don't have to act, or you can act in your true colors."
Fang Tao finally understood, "You mean that I am a spy in my life, what did I do?" ”
Shen Youzhi snorted coldly, "Are you going to report all my scripts and activities to Gu Cong, and let me do it with his permission?" ”
Fang Tao was stunned for a moment, seeing that she was not really angry, he breathed a sigh of relief, "How do you know?" ”
Shen Youzhi snorted coldly again, "It's been seven years, you can still show it in front of me without doing so much behind my back, this acting skill is not ordinarily good!" ”
Fang Tao smiled "hehe", "Isn't this always the big boss Gu?" Of course I listen to him! ”
Shen Youzhi stretched out his index finger and pointed at him, and it took a long time to think of what words to use to describe him, "Tend to be inflammatory!" ”
"What is your relationship with Gu Dong? He's so dedicated to you. Fang Tao gossiped like a paparazzi.
Indeed, last night, when Gu Cong said that all her work was selected by him before she was selected, Shen Youzhi was not angry at all, but instead was happy and moved, so she would not be angry with Fang Tao.
"Didn't he tell you?" Shen Youzhi said curiously.
Fang Tao nodded vigorously, and the expression on his face showed a strong desire for knowledge.
Shen Youzhi smiled: "It's hard for you to hold back for so many years, and the quality of your heart is really good, so you continue to hold it!" ”
“……”
Fang Tao was speechless for a long time, his heart was tickled by this gossip, "Hmph, I'm too lazy to know, it's safer to know less." ”
Shen Youzhi smiled even more happily, and she suddenly found that Fang Tao was a bit like a tsundere child.
In the end, Shen Youzhi took over the Xianxia drama and played a spirit girl who knows everything. Although she knows everything, she can't figure out people's hearts, and she was deceived by the third prince of the demon world, and then she began to take revenge. On the road of revenge, he met an immortal who entered the mortal world in the fairy world, and the two fell in love with each other, went through various hardships and finally got together.
The launch conference was held in City B, and Fang Tao accompanied Shen Youzhi to arrive in City B the day before the press conference and had dinner with the director and producer.
"Originally, I wasn't very optimistic about you, you are not a professional, and acting in a movie and a TV series is simply a vase. But Director Zhang Yimin recommended you to me, so I wanted you to come over for an audition first. It just so happened that Zhang Yimin's movie was released, I went to take a look, and found that your acting skills have improved a lot, so I decided directly, but if I don't act well, I will still change roles. ”
Director Wang Xueming seemed to have drunk a little too much, and slurred his words to Shen Youzhi about the process of choosing her. Shen Youzhi was stunned after hearing this, a little embarrassed, a little happy, and a little worried.
The embarrassing thing is that Wang Xueming didn't look at the occasion and directly said that she was a vase, happy to get Zhang Yimin's recommendation, worried that she would not be able to act well and be replaced.
Of course, the director is not the only one who has this kind of doubt, or it should be said that everyone is questioning.
This drama is said to have a lot of investment, the actors are all popular Xiaosheng and Hua Dan, everyone has acted in several idol dramas with good ratings, with good looks and acting skills. And the protagonist gave her the singer, and she acted in three plays, although the last one has some acting skills, but after all, she is the leading actor, can she take the lead?
At the press conference, most of the questions were aimed at her, sharp and mean.
"We all know that you are a singer debut, and you have only developed into drama in the last year or two, and there are not many works and your acting skills have been complained about a lot. How did you get the role in a situation like this? ”
"You better ask the director about this!" Shen Youzhi felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he still couldn't show half a point on his face, so he smiled and threw the problem to the director.
The director took over the conversation, and said the same thing as at the dinner the night before, but he said the word vase in a joking tone, and Shen Youzhi thought that the media didn't care what tone you said! When the report came out, it had to be the director's evaluation that the heroine was a vase.
"What do you think about being evaluated as a vase?"
"I'm going to make a vase with strength."
"In the recently released movies, your acting skills have been recognized by the public, is it the result of your study abroad last year?"
"That's part of the reason."
"It is rumored that you and Lu Yang both went abroad to treat their emotional injuries and met by chance abroad, and now they are still artists of the same company, are you two already together?"
Shen Youzhi was stunned for a moment, instinctively looked at the expressions of the director and other leading actors, and did not see an unpleasant look, she breathed a sigh of relief, and only then replied under the reporter's question: "We are not together." ”
Worried that the reporter would ask her questions that had nothing to do with the TV series, she spoke first, with a somewhat humble prayer in her tone, "Please don't ask me these questions that have nothing to do with the TV series, because this is not my interview, you should be more concerned about the next new drama." ”
How could the reporter listen to her, only take her words as a pretext, thinking that she didn't want to answer, although she really didn't want to answer. They continued to ask, and the moderator came over to divert the topic.
After the press conference, Shen Youzhi returned to the hotel, and the smile on his face that had been disguised was instantly removed, and he sat there with a gloomy face.
Fang Tao sighed, when he was interviewing another leading actor, Qin Feifei, a reporter asked: "It has been rumored that you are on the top by unspoken rules, have you heard of it?" ”
"Yes, I heard it." Qin Feifei nodded, "Those who are clear are self-purifying!" ”
"Did you also find you on the initiative of the director?"
Qin Feifei smiled softly and helplessly, "I don't have the good luck that I know, I only acted in three plays and was appreciated and recommended by Director Zhang Yimin, I came to try the play, and the director can only stay in the picture, otherwise I will still run with various crews now!" ”
It sounds like a compliment to Shen Youzhi, but if you listen carefully, it is a mockery that she has no strength, and she relies on Zhang Yimin to get the role, the key is to hear her words, and Shen Youzhi must also show an expression that can't hear the deep meaning. However, no matter how she behaves, Yu Ji will report that the new drama has not yet started filming, and the two leading actors have already fallen out.
"Don't you care too much? You have had a smooth ride in the past few years, and it's no wonder that you don't attract jealousy. Fang Tao glanced at her expression, and said in his heart that although she had no unspoken rules, there was indeed someone behind her.
Shen Youzhi glared at Fang Tao, and after a while, he said in a dissatisfied tone: "I just met her, I haven't offended her, right?" She was going to play the role she was going to play at the beginning, and I didn't rob her, did I? ”
"Yes, yes, you didn't offend her, it's just that people can't see you as smooth. She debuted earlier than you, and she acted several times as many times as you, and now she is still half red and not purple, just say a few cool words to vent. ”
Shen Youzhi's face was slightly pale, "I don't have much development, right?" It's not that he was scolded for his poor acting skills and bad singing. Besides, I'm not all on my own, so I can only blame her for not being as lucky as me. ”
"If you think so, there is Gu Dong behind you!" After all, Fang Tao has cooperated with Shen Youzhi for seven years, and he speaks directly, so he doesn't worry about her getting angry.
Shen Youzhi glared at him, "What's wrong with him?" Don't you think if he hadn't screened my scripts or anything, I'd be popular by now? ”
Fang Tao thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case. After Gu Cong's screening, many activities and scripts that many Taotao thought could make Shen Youzhi a big hit were filtered out. But of course he didn't dare to say that the boss was not, although he didn't know what the relationship between the two was, but he felt that the two must be very close, and it was hard to guarantee that Shen would not sue.
Don't dare to arrange the boss, so let's find the reason in the person in front of him, he said: "It's because you don't want to be popular, right?" Only take on so much work a year, five albums in seven years, you look at those first-line celebrities, who will be so idle? ”
"So I'm not on the front line!" Shen Youzhi's tone seemed very indifferent, "What are you doing so busy?" Won fame and fortune but lost time to enjoy. ”
Fang Tao has to admit that in this impetuous era, Shen Youzhi's attitude towards life is enviable but unattainable.
