After Xu Chen heard Man Man's affectionate confession, he glanced at Man Man, but he didn't care. He just looked at the TV, frowning more and more, and asked, "Why are there so many advertisements?"
"You usually watch on the computer. I have a membership, so there are no advertisements. This is TV."
"Oh." Xu Chen replied, continued to eat jelly, and then explained, "I know about TV, I just asked casually."
Lu Wenxi nodded, still with a very good attitude, with a little doting feeling in his smile, as if he was looking at his own child.
Manman stared at Xu Chen for a while, and then began to offer delicious food to Xu Chen. Xu Chen has always been very well-behaved and sensible, plus he is handsome, so he immediately had a better impression of Xu Chen.
Ge Xinlong chatted with Lu Wenxi. After a while, Lu Wenxi took out a few scripts from the box and asked Senior Ge Xinlong to read them for him. He originally wanted to ask Deng Xuanhan, but by accident, he couldn't see Deng Xuanhan anymore, so he wanted to ask senior Ge Xinlong's opinion.
"Is this suitable for me?" Ge Xinlong looked at the script and asked hesitantly.
"This is just the introduction of the characters and the outline of the plot. They are all single-player plots. There is no complete story, so there is no need to keep it secret." Lu Wenxi replied.
Ge Xinlong put on his glasses on purpose, and took a look at the three scripts one by one, looking very carefully.
It took about 20 minutes for Ge Xinlong to put down the script: "I have roughly read each script, and the characters are not very challenging. I guess your company is trying to be conservative. As long as you act carefully, the three scripts can all play well." Well done."
"Yes, my agent is more cautious. He screened them first, and then left a few for my own choice. I have been procrastinating for a long time and wasted a lot of time. This time I have to make a decision."
"If I were you, I would choose this." Ge Xinlong said, and pushed one of the scripts in front of Lu Wenxi. Lu Wenxi looked down at the cover and knew which one it was.
In the drama of the Republic of China, the content of espionage and counter-espionage, the role he needs to play, was a student in the military academy in the early days, and was favored because of his excellence, but in fact he was a talent that both camps liked. The character is cheerful and innocent at first, but after experiencing some things in the later stage, he gradually calms down and finally becomes a story of a hero.
"Where you fell down, get up from where you are, and prove yourself." Ge Xinlong explained.
Lu Wenxi also picked up the script and glanced at it, seeming to be hesitating.
"And I checked the pay, and the pay of this drama is the highest. I have seen your previous pay on the Internet. It is true that you can pick up a higher pay, and your pay can also be called up. You guys This kind of idol is different from old bones like us, it takes a lot of money to package you, you should make some money back for the company, otherwise your team will be working in vain."
This is the truth, and it comes from the heart.
After Lu Wenxi flew solo from the group, he came into Han Fanming's hands. Han Fanming looked fierce, but he was actually quite good to Lu Wenxi, so he didn't pursue benefits much, and only asked Lu Wenxi to make progress step by step and down-to-earth.
The company spent a lot of money on Lu Wenxi. Last year's endorsement and the variety shows he participated in at the end of the year, plus the salary, were basically saturated. In fact, he didn't make a lot of money. Take Yu Yan for example, Yu Yan's annual income is more than three times that of Lu Wenxi's, he is a mature artist who can make money for the company without causing trouble, and by the way won a big prize.
As for him, he was just a traffic niche, with inflated popularity and no confidence.
This year, Lu Wenxi realized that his life was not long, so he suddenly became angry. Although he entered the circle early, he exerted his strength too late, creating an embarrassing state of just starting.
Lu Wenxi nodded immediately, and replied solemnly: "You are right."
"We're rehearsing the play in the afternoon, why don't you come and watch it?" Ge Xinlong was very satisfied with Lu Wenxi's attitude, and now he felt more and more pleasing to the eye of this junior.
Before, it was thought that Lu Wenxi came to him just to settle the situation, but he didn't expect that Lu Wenxi was serious. After coming to him, Lu Wenxi's team did not break any news. In the end, when he clarified for Lu Wenxi, it was the first time he announced this matter in public.
Today is also the same, actually came to his house again to ask for advice, with a sincere attitude, so that Ge Xinlong couldn't find fault. He has no reason to refuse a junior who has a good attitude and is serious about studying.
"Okay!" Lu Wenxi regained his spirit immediately, "I've always wanted to study, so I must go."
Ge Xinlong laughed immediately, and a hardliner laughed like this, looking very friendly. After chatting with Lu Wenxi for a few more words, he dragged the two of them to dinner: "We'll go together after dinner."
"I'll go too!" Manman immediately volunteered and wanted to follow.
"You didn't go when you were asked to go before." Ge Xinlong said angrily.
"Oh... why am I going? I went, and you guys keep introducing me to people. How old am I..."
"Looking for someone at such a young age?" Lu Wenxi asked subconsciously.
Manman felt that what Lu Wenxi said made sense, but she looked at Xu Chen. Lu Wenxi coughed immediately. According to her school age, Manman was one year older than Xu Chen.

After dinner, the group went directly to the theater.
When I went there, it was Ge Xinlong's car. The car was not bad, but it could be seen that it could be driven for a few years, and the interior of the car was not very good. Luxury car.
When I arrived at the theater, I heard someone say hello from afar: "Lao Ge, didn't you say you won't be coming today? Why are you coming again suddenly?"
As he spoke, he looked behind him, and then froze.
"Bring a junior, come and learn from us." Ge Xinlong smiled and introduced Lu Wenxi, but the man stopped him directly, "No need to introduce, we all know each other."
The arrival of Lu Wenxi made the rehearsal scene excited for a while. A group of young actors came to take a photo with Lu Wenxi. Lu Wenxi didn't put on airs at all. Whether it was a solo photo or a group photo, he would cooperate. If someone asks him for an autograph, he will immediately sign it.
Xu Chen has been standing by the side watching, looking at Lu Wenxi's appearance, no matter how he looks at it, he finds it cute.
Lu Wenxi's appearance is really charming.
After a busy day, Ge Xinlong asked Lu Wenxi to sit with him in the first row of the auditorium, allowing the actors to continue rehearsing, while he sat next to him and explained to Lu Wenxi.
First, I will explain the differences between acting in a drama and acting in a TV series, and then I will talk about the similarities, from the simple ones to the more in-depth ones.
Lu Wenxi listened and watched carefully.
What they rehearsed is an original script, which feels a bit like a sitcom, but the main content is "filial piety". In the plot, several old men are the protagonists, and it is about their life after retirement.
The supporting roles are their children, grandsons, and granddaughters. There are old people who dote on their children from the previous generation, and some are strict. The image of Ge Xinlong is a serious and rigid old man.
"Do you want to give it a try?" Ge Xinlong finished his explanation and asked Lu Wenxi directly.
Lu Wenxi nodded: "If you don't think I'm wasting your time, I'm happy."
Ge Xinlong brought a script and asked Lu Wenxi to read the lines. The character is Ge Xinlong's youngest son, who is extremely rebellious, likes rock music, and pursues his dreams all day long.
A hard-line old man and a rebellious college student form a sharp contrast.
"Is this old age?" Lu Wenxi asked while looking at the script.
Ge Xinlong was stuck for a moment, and he coughed before answering: "Don't pay attention to those details, Manman is not very old."
"Well, indeed."
"When I was young, I played tricks and was poor. I didn't want my children to suffer with me, so I had children very late."
"Understood." Lu Wenxi replied, and began to read the script seriously.
Ge Xinlong's original intention was to let Lu Wenxi try it out, and he also allowed Lu Wenxi to bring his script book.
Who knew that just letting Lu Wenxi watch the lines for an hour, and watched the actor of this role perform once before, he could already act with them.
This is Lu Wenxi's first drama performance. The tension is not enough, and the lines are a bit unnatural, but the performance is serious enough, and the character's personality is also very good.
What shocked Ge Xinlong the most was that Lu Wenxi had memorized all of his lines without any connection errors, and his performance was beyond Ge Xinlong's imagination.
"Not bad!" Another old man from the same crew could not help but praise.
"Really memorized the lines just now?" Another senior asked.
Lu Wenxi nodded with a smile, and was immediately praised by a group of seniors. Their opinions are that Lu Wenxi has a talent for acting in dramas, and he performed very well the first time, especially with a good memory, which proves that Lu Wenxi is smart enough.
Traditional drama will weaken the appearance of the actors, because the auditorium is not too close to the stage, and there is no advanced large screen, so it is difficult to see the specific appearance of the actors. If they have some foundation, they just need to feel good after makeup. The appearance of Lu Wenxi will be weakened to only 70% on the stage, so the shining point is acting skills and expressive ability.
Many people have seen Lu Wenxi's performance just now, and Ge Xinlong also gave Lu Wenxi advice afterward.
When he came back for the second time, Lu Wenxi had already improved a lot. His lines needed a solid foundation, and he couldn't make a breakthrough all at once, but it still sounded very comfortable.
"Are you busy recently?" Ge Xinlong pondered for a moment, then asked Lu Wenxi.
"It's not busy before the Spring Festival, and the time is quite free."
"There will be a performance the day after tomorrow. Do you want to try it out on stage and experience a real drama performance? Xiao Liu doesn't care about it. You are just performing for him. I will pay you for a single performance, 500 yuan."
Lu Wenxi was stunned for a moment, and his first thought was that he might not be able to do it, so don't make trouble for everyone. Although the role he played was not the protagonist, it still had enough roles, and it was the main plot.
But after thinking for a while, he immediately agreed: "Okay, I accept, but do you care about the box lunches these days?"
In fact, when Ge Xinlong made the invitation, everyone else thought that Lu Wenxi would refuse. Lu Wenxi, a little freshman, would pay six or even seven figures for any performance, and they only gave him 500 yuan. Would he be happy
In addition, the rehearsal time is too short, and the performance will be the day after tomorrow, which is a bit too rushed.
But Lu Wenxi agreed, and he agreed very happily. The only request was to take care of the meals. Many people laughed, and Ge Xinlong immediately promised: "You and your assistant are enough!"
