Chapter 69: Hello World, My Name Is Xu Zhen
March 29th, this ordinary day, is destined to be remembered by everyone who loves Xu Zhen in the future.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, without any notice, Penguin Toutiao suddenly played the pilot of the new version of "The Peerless Twins" in the form of a push screen.
This TV series, which was secretly started and never released any news, was presented to the world in the most eye-catching and gorgeous way.
Magnificent landscapes, exquisite pictures, dazzling high-level special effects, and a stunning cast per capita......
amazed countless netizens who were watching the news.
Especially at the beginning of the picture, the young man in white standing on a bamboo raft.
The moment he turned his head, the landscape was eclipsed.
That's probably the case with the legendary "10,000 years at a glance".
……
Off the screen, Xu Zhen looked at this picture in a daze.
He remembered the scene.
This was filmed at the Yanshan location base just more than half a month ago.
However, compared to the original, this picture has been properly edited, color-corrected, and filled with lighting, and accompanied by melodious and simple background music.
As a spectator, Xu Zhen inexplicably felt that this person was "flawless", not himself.
He looked at the young man in white in the video, and suddenly felt so strange.
At the same time, in the resort's restaurant, countless eyes shot at Xu Zhen by the window.
"Xiao Xu, is that you?" An actor sitting at the table next to him raised his phone and said with a smile, "This flower is flawless? ”
Xu Zhen turned his head and saw that almost all the people around him were looking at him, smiled a little reservedly, and said, "It's me." ”
"Hahaha, this show looks good," the middle-aged actor grinned, "I have to take a look when it's released." ”
Xu Zhen politely thanked the man.
The next day, no matter where he went, he could always hear people around him talking about "The Peerless Twins".
This level of attention is of course because these people are insiders, but this also shows from the side how popular this pilot film is.
In fact, the trailer was sold more than 30 million times in the first place, and nearly 5 million of them watched the 60-second video in its entirety.
Moreover, more than 300,000 people chose the replay in the first place.
Yes, replay.
They replayed the app open ad.
What a madness.
One hour later, the cumulative number of video views exceeded 10 million times, directly breaking the short video playback record of Penguin Toutiao that month and the one-hour playback record in the past year.
- This video went viral.
The fire is out of the circle.
Although this level of popularity is not enough to directly improve Xu Zhen's coffee position, it makes millions of netizens remember him completely at this moment, and allows him to have the first batch of unstable fans.
Although the promotional film of "Night Rain Jianghu" and "I Am an Acting School" not long ago also increased his attention, acting skills cannot effectively convert attention into fans.
What can make people fall in the first place is always appearance.
At noon that day, in Xu Zhen's post bar, a user with the ID name "Gao Tianyuan's Jingjing" posted a post and created the first support group of "actor Xu Zhen".
Half an hour later, the 2000 cap was filled.
The group owner had no choice but to create another 2 groups, and then fill up again in a short time.
……
In the next few days, Xu Zhen ignored what was going on outside the window and stayed in the resort every day for intensive training.
Although he found that the attention of the people around him had increased a lot, he still had to live his life how he lived.
Chanting, boxing, morning reading, training.
Xu Zhen is very Buddhist.
It wasn't until a week later that Qiao Feng, who was far away in the capital, suddenly called him, and he finally realized that he seemed to be different from before.
"Recently, a total of seven crews have sent you audition invitations," Qiao Feng said on the phone, "I briefly screened it, and there are two that I think are very attractive and need to talk to you." ”
"One of them is the "Condor" crew, inviting you to audition for Yeluqi."
"Yeluqi, you know who it is, right? Zhou Botong's disciple, Guo Fu's husband, and the next beggar gang leader. ”
Xu Zhen listened calmly, nodded and said, "Well, I know Yeluqi." ”
Qiao Feng said: "This character doesn't have many scenes, and the setting is lackluster, but after all, it is the crew of "Condor", which is a good opportunity to gain popularity." ”
"And I used my personal relationship to ask over there, their director admires you, and the probability of you getting this role should be quite high."
After that, Qiao Feng seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "As for the other one, to be honest, I think it's basically no fun, but I still have to tell you." ”
"The crew of "Blue Blood Sword", Golden Snake Langjun Xia Xueyi."
Xu Zhen was slightly stunned.
Xia Xueyi?
"Brother Qiao, I want to play this!" Xu Zhen blurted out almost without thinking.
This is the most classic character in Mr. Cha's early works!
An alternative knight who is both good and evil, Xu Zhen has not read many books, and he doesn't like many characters, Xia Xueyi is one of the few.
Qiao Feng on the other end of the phone smiled helplessly and said, "Do you want to act...... You definitely want to act, who doesn't want to play Xia Xueyi? This is the invisible male protagonist! ”
"However, there are too many people eyeing this role, and the competitors I know of alone have several very famous actors."
"Including Zhong Tao from your "The First Knife in the World" crew, I heard that he also plans to compete for Xia Xueyi."
Hearing this, Xu Zhen suddenly became nervous.
Emperor Zhong Tao......
In terms of acting skills alone, I am not someone else's opponent now.
Qiao Feng said: "I called here, in fact, the main reason is to ask you a question. ”
"The start time of "Condor" and "Blue Blood Sword" are both at the end of this year, and the schedules are conflicting."
"You can only choose one or the other."
"The chances of Jeluqi getting it are very high."
"As for Xia Xueyi, there is little hope, so I can only say that I will try my best."
Speaking of this, Qiao Feng hesitated again and again, but still did not persuade him to ride a donkey to find a horse, but said, "What do you think?" ”
"Actually, I personally think these two roles are very rare, do you plan to take a stable one, or do you want to take a risk?"
Xu Zhen, who was on the other side of the phone, did not hesitate for a moment, and said: "Brother Qiao, please help me reject the side of "Condor", I want to fight Xia Xueyi!" ”
"I like this character!"
Just know ......
Qiao Feng pursed his lips helplessly and said, "Okay, I know." ”
"Then you continue to be busy with your work first, don't delay the filming of "The First Knife in the World".
"I'll get back to you when there's news from the sight glasses."
The two hung up the call.
