Chapter 165: The Son of a Wealthy Family
When He Junxiang said this, he was plain, but his posture revealed a superior posture. Just now he saw Zhou Chong sitting next to the director, thinking that Zhou Chong was a relative or friend who came to visit the class. He thinks that he is a figure of the same level as the director, so he naturally has a superior posture for this little relative next to the director.
In this 'red-honored' entertainment industry, it is understandable for him to do this, and it is also the unspoken rule that everyone defaults to. However, Zhou Chong never regarded himself as a person in the entertainment industry, so he would not hook his head and bend his back to please those big stars like those newcomers. At that moment, there was a look of anger on his face, but he didn't want to see such a play, so he didn't vent it.
Zhou Chong was angry, and the director, who was originally a little unhappy with He Junxiang, immediately replied with hard words: "He is the male protagonist of this drama!" ”
As soon as the three words of the actor came out, He Junxiang's face suddenly froze, and he looked Zhou Chong up and down, his eyes were not so polite, with a sense of scrutiny. Zhou Chong saw it, and he was even more unhappy, but he still held back, but the hand under the table had already been clenched into a fist. This guy has an eye above the top and a posture, but he still looks at himself like this, and treats himself as a prisoner?
"The male lead?" After He Junxiang looked at Zhou Chong for a while, he turned his head and asked the director with a forced smile: "Director, I am the leading actor in this play?" That's what the investor decided! ”
"You're the hero. But so is Hanhe. The bearded director shrugged his shoulders and said in a rather exaggerated tone: "What? Is there a problem? It's very popular to have a double protagonist now, and I'll explain it on the investor's side. ”
"Nope." He Junxiang spread his hands, pretending to be casual and said, "How can there be opinions, I listen to the director." However, with such a newcomer as the protagonist, do you think the audience will buy it? ”
As soon as the second half of He Junxiang's sentence came out, it smelled of gunpowder. When the director heard this, his face, which was still with a polite smile, instantly narrowed into a slit, and his smile became rigid. In the middle of the ring, he tapped his fingers on the table twice, and he didn't look at He Junxiang, but said quietly: "Who didn't start as a newcomer?" Whether the audience buys it or not, I still don't know? I've been filming for more than 20 years, don't I know better than the actors what the audience needs? ”
The director's words are very light, but the weight is extremely heavy. Although He Junxiang has some 'big head syndrome', he also knows that he can't get anything good when he falls out with the director, not to mention that he can't get anything good by cooperating with other directors to ban actors, just to find a little hardship for himself in the play, which is also a matter of getting caught.
Therefore, in an instant, He Junxiang's face changed greatly, and he said with a smile: "Of course, the director has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he must know the audience's tastes better than me." I'm just worrying about it. ”
He Junxiang is an idol after all, and Zhou Chong can see that he is deliberately creating his poor acting skills. However, Zhou Chong didn't speak, anyway, he didn't have anything to do with him, so he couldn't quarrel with such a play, and he hadn't figured out how to deal with Zhao Qiuyun's matter yet.
"That's good." The director nodded slowly, and then pinched the director's frame and said: "The three are all main creative actors, and they must cooperate sincerely to shoot high-quality dramas for the audience." In this way, it will be good for you, for me, and for everyone. ”
"Yes, that's what the director said." He Junxiang nodded, Chen Yanxi next to him also nodded, Zhou Chong's mind was not here, he just lowered his head to eat his food, and his head was thinking about how to solve Zhao Qiuyun's matter unconsciously, so as not to get into trouble when he got it, and he couldn't get rid of it.
Then the four fell silent and ate separately. The director occasionally gave Zhou Chong a little drama, and Chen Yanxi livened up the atmosphere a little. All of a sudden, He Junxiang was silent, hanging on the side alone, looking a little lonely. Zhou Chong was surrounded by the director's female number one, like a big name.
He Junxiang saw that Zhou Chong was left and right, and he felt very uncomfortable.
At this time, the producer walked in. The producer is a middle-aged woman, dressed exquisitely, and has a mature charm. As soon as she saw Zhou Chong, she said loudly: "Director Lai, this is a tyrannosaurus, right?" The temperament and aura are too consistent, which brokerage company found it? Still a newcomer, right? ”
"Yes, it's a newcomer. Eric sent it to me. Director Lai patted Zhou Chong on the shoulder and said with a sense of accomplishment: "This will be another supernova that I have excavated." His scene is the best I've ever seen among young people, and I filmed one today, which is amazing. Let me tell you, whether this drama can be popular or not depends on Hanhe. ”
As soon as the director's words of praise came out, He Junxiang's face became even more pale: What is the call of whether the drama can be popular or not, it all depends on him? I'm the number one actor, okay? I'm the soul of this play, okay?
He Junxiang's face was ugly or not, the producer didn't see it, all her observation power was on Zhou Chong at the moment, she carefully looked Zhou Chong up and down, and praised: "It does have a lot of red potential." ”
After admiring it, he asked Zhou Chong again: "You haven't signed a brokerage company yet?" So, sign up with me, right? I will definitely praise you as the most popular artist of the new generation in Taiwan. ”
Hearing the producer's words, He Junxiang became even more angry. Because this producer is known as the godmother of Taiwanese idol dramas, she said that if she wants to praise Zhou Chong, she will definitely be able to praise it. He also hoped to be cultivated by her when he was not popular before, but now a newcomer has not done anything, so he makes his godmother value it so much, and he is also a person he doesn't like, can he not taste it in his heart? No one wants their brilliance to be robbed by others, especially if this person is still the one they don't look down on.
When He Junxiang was jealous of Zhou Chong's wonderful experience and tasted it, Zhou Chong refused the producer: "I'm sorry, I don't want to sign with a brokerage company." ”
"Huh?" When the producer heard Zhou Chong's rejection of herself, she felt a little unbelievable at the moment, she didn't expect that someone would reject her, you must know that she is the godmother of idol dramas and has the power to say anything.
Zhou Chong thought that the female producer didn't understand, so he continued to emphasize: "Filming is just my personal hobby, and I have other jobs. Therefore, I may only make this one film, and if I sign it, it will not have any effect. ”
Zhou Chong said so bluntly, although the female system is a little embarrassed, she is not reluctant, after all, Zhou Chong has no intention of developing in the entertainment industry, and she is not easy to force.
The female system is not reluctant, but He Junxiang grabbed Zhou Chong and said: "Sister Cai, this male No. 2 has a high vision, and he doesn't take the showbiz in his eyes." ”
He fanned the wind like this, Zhou Chong just squinted at him and didn't speak. He really didn't take the entertainment industry seriously, not to mention that he was in the Taiwanese entertainment industry with Xiaoxiao, that is, in the mainland entertainment industry, Zhou Chong didn't want to go to troubled waters. And he doesn't want to be like a person like him who makes money by selling jokes and throwing off handsome, in his opinion, the so-called male idol in front of him is the same as the woman who sells art in the ancient Qinglou. are all things that can't be put on the stage, that is, the current impetuous society has praised the status of these dramas so high.
The female zuò people listened to He Junxiang's words, and did not take advantage of the momentum to get angry. She stands tall and knows that there is not only one showbiz in this world, and the world outside the circle is much more exciting than a small showbiz. Therefore, she said with a smile: "Everyone has their own ambitions, maybe he can achieve great things outside the entertainment industry." Although the circle of entertainment is prosperous, it is still a little small after all. The real dragon can't be trapped. ”
The female producer Zuò compared Zhou Chong to a big dragon who couldn't be trapped, and the director immediately followed her words and said: "Yes, the outside world is wonderful." ”
Seeing that the directors of the system were collectively biased towards Zhou Chong, He Junxiang fell again, and Zhou Chong was even more unhappy. He always felt that Zhou Chong ran out and deliberately angered himself.
At this time, the director spoke again: "Sister Cai, although Hanhe doesn't sign with your agency, let's talk to him about the salary." I think Hanhe fits this role very well, and his acting skills are also outstanding. It is a reasonable price to get 50,000 yuan for an episode. ”
As soon as the director opened his mouth, it was 50,000 yuan, which is a relatively high price in the Taiwanese entertainment industry. It took three or four years for He Junxiang to mix up to 50,000 episodes, and Zhou Chong's first role was at this price. At that moment, he questioned: "Is this a bit of a destruction of the ecology of the entertainment industry?" Newcomers open such a high price......"
Before he could finish his questioning, the maker made a decision: "Okay, I think this price is okay." Now that most actors have gone to the mainland to develop, Taiwan's acting career has been sluggish, and if new actors are kept filming at the price of newcomers in the past, many young people will not join the entertainment industry, and the situation will be even more embarrassing. Since the director thinks that 50,000 is a good value for money, then sign it. ”
The producer made such a decision, He Junxiang was completely stunned, he felt that Zhou Chong was simply his broom star, and he had not been in a happy mood since he appeared.
He Junxiang didn't care whether he was happy or not, but he refused the kindness of the producer and director, because this amount of money was less for him, so he simply didn't take anything. I saw him say loudly: "I can probably only shoot for ten days at most, and I have other arrangements." Therefore, I won't take the salary. I don't lack this money, you can use my salary to donate it to charity in the name of the crew. ”
Zhou Chong was so high-spirited that the four people next to him were dumbfounded. They had never seen a person like Zhou Chong, and they didn't even want money in their pockets. 50,000 yuan per episode, 20 episodes of this TV series, that's 1 million yes. I can buy a BMW.
"Are you sure you don't take money?" The director asked Zhou Chong for confirmation with a surprised face.
"I'm not short of money." Zhou Chong shrugged his shoulders and his attitude was very clear: "This filming is a special experience." ”
Seeing Zhou Chong's insistence, the director didn't say anything anymore, and the producer said: "Since you have the heart to contribute to charity, then I thank you first for those beneficiaries." I'll donate a lot of it. ”
"By the way, I have one more request." Zhou Chong suddenly remembered something at this time, and hurriedly made it up: "Because my family is more strict, I don't like my children and grandchildren to show their heads outside." So, can you not call my real name when it is broadcast on TV, and use the name of a passer-by, A and B? That way, even if someone in my family saw it, I could explain that it was taken by someone who looked like me. ”
Zhou Chong didn't want money before, but now he wants the crew not to call his name, and he also proposed the family. Suddenly, four words popped up in the heads of these four people almost at the same time: Wealthy son?
Yes, the four of them regard Zhou Chong, who is not greedy for fame and fortune, as the descendant of the legendary wealthy sons and nobles, because only in this way can they explain that Zhou Chong is so different from ordinary people's way of thinking.
Thinking about it this way, He Junxiang suddenly became comfortable, since he is a wealthy son, he is better than himself in all aspects, and it doesn't matter if he steals his limelight.
In Taiwan, it is very rare to admire wealthy families.
