Chapter 21: A chance to become popular
Song Xiao originally had no fans, and with such a fuss, the popularity of passers-by completely collapsed, and naturally no crew dared to use him. In this way, Song Xiao's 100,000 yuan did not come back, and he lost his job. In order to make a living, Song Xiao lived a life of running tricks everywhere and playing faceless corpses.
The incident also had a bad impact on the "With You" Foundation, which regained some of its reputation by announcing the dismissal of the staff member surnamed Xiao in an effort to rebuild public trust in them.
Jiang's invisible ban on Shi Wanxi is still there, although Shi Wanxi can't get a job, but fortunately, with the remuneration secretly paid to her by "Gossip Zhou Zhou", Shi Wanxi's life is not sad.
Soon, Sister Ying brought good news to Shi Wanxi, a period drama invited Shi Wanxi to play the female number one.
Shi Wanxi was a little surprised: "This crew is quite iron-clad, aren't you afraid that the Jiang family will fix them?" ”
Sister Ying said: "This is not a drama filmed by Jiang and their subsidiaries. The investor is Gu's Group, Gu's Group has just entered the film and television industry, and is not familiar with Jiang's, and Jiang's is not easy to pout their face. And the director of this play is Hu Lufeng, who has worked with you and appreciates you very much. ”
"Gu Hanyun?" Shi Wanxi blurted out.
"Yes, yes, you saw it at the last charity event, maybe it was because of that event that the Gu family chose you as the heroine. In short, Xiaoxi, your chance to turn red has come. ”
"Sister Ying, I haven't been confused yet, why is it called red."
"Don't be stubborn." Sister Ying said: "Do you know who the male protagonist of this play is? ”
"Who is it?"
Lin Songmian. With him carrying the drama, plus the director Hu Lufeng directing, there is still a reason why this drama is not popular? ”
"Lin Songmian, ......"
"Hey, Xiaoxi," Sister Ying said, "Gu Hanyun, the prince of the Gu family, and Director Hu said that they would invite us to dinner and talk about cooperation." ”
The gold owner has a treat, of course Shi Wanxi can't refuse.
During the banquet, Gu Hanyun said: "The quality of the script of this play is very high, and it can be said that there has been no such good book in recent years." We asked major video platforms to review it, and the ratings are all S+. ”
Sister Ying seemed to know what Shi Wanxi was thinking, and asked Gu Hanyun directly: "Can I take the liberty of asking, why did we choose our family Wanxi to play the heroine?" ”
Of course, it's because her temperament is most consistent with the original character. The heroine of our play, Shen Yunqing, is gentle, kind, brave, strong, and a person with great love. Miss Shi and I had only met once before, and she donated 500,000 yuan to the left-behind children on the spot. I know that Miss Shi has not been in the circle for a long time, and her savings are not too much, and Miss Shi's willingness to spend so much money on charity is enough to prove that Miss Shi is a very caring person. So as soon as our company launched this film and television project, I directly recommended Miss Shi to Director Hu. Director Hu and you have collaborated on two plays, you are old acquaintances, and he admires you very much, so we hit it off. ”
Hu Lufeng, who was sitting next to Gu Hanyun, nodded.
Sister Ying glanced at Shi Wanxi when she heard this, and her eyes said, "I guessed correctly, right?" ”
"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for your trust." Shi Wanxi smiled and said, "I will definitely play this role seriously." I will not fail to live up to the trust you and the director have placed in me. ”
Hu Lufeng introduced the specific situation of this drama to Shi Wanxi in detail. This is a period drama, called "I Get My Apricot", which tells the story of several like-minded young people who embarked on the road of progress in the turbulent era, devoted themselves to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, shed their blood for the establishment of New China, and dedicated their lives to the construction of New China in their respective posts after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The heroine Shen Yunqing was born in a feudal family, she bravely rebelled against the feudal arranged marriage when she was a teenager and went out to study alone. and Qi Jisheng have been apprentices for two years, and the two have gradually evolved from mutual disdain to mutual understanding, mutual trust, and even mutual dependence. Later, Shen Yunqing joined the Anti-Japanese War, and Qi Jisheng followed Shen Yunqing to join the anti-Japanese team for love, and gradually grew into an excellent soldier with the help of Shen Yunqing. The two became partners, carried together for a lifetime, and experienced ups and downs together, deducing a love story that spanned more than half a century.
Wanxi had already read the script before, and now listening to Hu Lufeng's introduction, she felt that it was not easy to play this role well. She has to act from the heroine's seventeen years old to her old age, especially the heroine's life is a turbulent mountain and river turmoil, and the country has changed dramatically for decades, which is a great challenge for Shi Wanxi, who has a simple life experience.
After the banquet, Gu Hanyun offered to use his Bentley to send Shi Wanxi home. Shi Wanxi politely refused on the spot. The lesson brought by Song Xiao to send her home with an electric car is still vivid. Sitting in an electric car can be hacked so badly, can you take a Bentley and pay it back?
Gu Hanyun looked a little disappointed, but he didn't force it. Sister Ying went out to call the driver to pick her and Shi Wanxi up, Hu Lufeng had also been picked up by her own driver, and only Shi Wanxi and Gu Hanyun were left in the private room.
Gu Hanyun suddenly said to her, "Miss Shi, I'm ...... Would like to make a request to you. ”
"Mr. Gu doesn't have to be so polite, please speak."
"Can you socialize with me?"
"Huh?" Shi Wanxi couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of water.
Gu Hanyun hurriedly handed her a tissue, and said again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was abrupt." It's just that since I saw Miss Shi at the charity event that day, Miss Shi's figure has lingered in my heart. I think I'm really in love with you. ”
Shi Wanxi smiled awkwardly: "Thank you Mr. Gu for your love." It's just that we've only met twice today, so it's probably too early to propose a relationship. ”
Shi Wanxi saw Gu Hanyun's face of loss, and asked tentatively: "So, I rejected you, are you ...... You won't ask me to play the female lead again? ”
"How could that be?" Gu Hanyun immediately said: "You can rest assured, our cooperation will not be affected by any factors." Shi Wanxi looked at him suspiciously.
Gu Hanyun didn't lie to her, they quickly signed the contract, and then Shi Wanxi successfully entered the group.
Of course, Shi Wanxi also put in a lot of hard work before joining the group, reading history books, and interviewing the elders in the family This is all basic, because the heroine Shen Yunqing was born in a martial arts family, has practiced martial arts since childhood, and has a good martial arts. She met the male protagonist Qi Jisheng because she disguised herself as a man and taught the male protagonist martial arts.
Therefore, Shi Wanxi specially hired a martial arts teacher for herself, and practiced martial arts with the teacher for more than eight hours a day, until she was sore. has been practicing for two months, although there is no way to compare with the boy who has practiced martial arts since childhood, but this kind of assault also made Shi Wanxi look decent when filming, all the actions were completed by herself, and she did not use a stand-in at all.
Shi Wanxi didn't expect that her hard work for filming would bring her unexpected gains later.
