Xiangshan and Hengdian Film and Television City are also located in Zhejiang Province, only more than 100 kilometers apart. At noon that day, Rong Xu told Rosie directly about the matter and asked her to refund her air ticket back to City B in the evening.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Cheng's assistant drove to Xiangshan Film and Television City, and the group went to Hengdian.
Rong Xu called to inform Luo Zhentao of the news, but did not want to finish speaking, Luo Zhentao smiled and said, "I found out in the morning. Xu Jin called me first and asked me about your itinerary. Xiaoxu, I will listen. Xu Jin said that there are not many scenes for that character. If you shoot well, you should be able to finish it in a week. Director Xu's movie will not start in two weeks. Although I also want you to rest more, but this one The movie...really good."
Just finishing a movie and rushing to audition for another movie crew non-stop is a bit of an overload for any actor.
Of course, there are some actors who like to run the show—doing multiple shows at the same time, chasing crews everywhere, so they can have more productions, make more money, and get more exposure. But this kind of behavior has always been shamed by the insiders.
Because the actors are rolling the scene, it means that the crew has to adjust the shooting according to the time of the actors, which is very inconvenient. Moreover, rolling the play can easily lead to problems with the actor's state, and it is impossible to switch between the roles of the two plays.
Rong Xu naturally wouldn't go to the show, but if he filmed "Zhuang Hua Luo", he really didn't have a few days to rest. But as Luo Zhentao said, this film is a good opportunity. It is a rare opportunity to cooperate with international directors and actresses.
Luo Zhentao said, "Mr. Qin recommended you to shoot this drama."
The male No. 3 in "Zhuanghualuo" was originally a Chinese-American. He has a lot of fame in the United States. The reason why he chose him is that in addition to his image and acting skills, Liu Lao just wanted to borrow his appeal. Crazy take over the market in the United States.
No one thinks that the money is too much. Since this little fresh meat is very famous in the United States, let him play it.
Of course, Liu Lao never expected that this little fresh meat from the United States actually made anti-China remarks on an American program two days ago. He was born in Huaxia, and he clearly had Chinese blood in his body, but after being nurtured by the motherland, this ungrateful villain joined the nationality of another country without hesitation, and dared to slander his motherland.
"His parents are still in Huaxia now, that little bastard, he's not afraid of being struck by lightning when he says that!" Mr. Liu yelled at the crew at that time.
Xu Jin told Luo Zhentao that Liu Lao was so angry that he directly called a few friends in the circle, and several people blocked this little fresh meat in the Huaxia entertainment circle together. However, the other party's anti-China remarks have already spread to Huaxia, and hundreds of millions of netizens are scolding him. He himself doesn't care, and he has a face like "I don't want to make your money".
I really know who I am, but I don't know my heart. At the beginning, the cast of "Zhuang Hua Luo" gave the other party a good signing fee. Now the other party broke the contract and collapsed with confidence.
However, Rong Xu naturally didn't know what kind of stimulation he was receiving. Rong Xu only knew that Mr. Liu must have been stimulated and greatly affected.
Originally, that little fresh meat should have been in the group yesterday, but now his role has been suspended, and the actor has to be re-selected. For a production crew like this, there are thousands of people in a crew, and every day of delay is a sum of money. How could Mr. Liu have a hard time with Qian? He kept urging the producer to contact the actor as soon as possible. He had already auditioned three times yesterday, and he was not satisfied. He will continue the audition today.
But an actor who agrees with one's heart is not so easy to find, and it is necessary to be able to film immediately. Many first-line movie students who meet the conditions have bumped into the announcement one after another. They really want to shoot Liu Lao's play, but Liu Lao firmly does not allow actors to run the show.
So, when Qin Cheng said Rong Xu's name today, Liu Lao's eyes lit up: "He has a schedule?!"
Qin Cheng nodded lightly, as if he just mentioned it casually, without much urgency: "Well, it just happened yesterday."
Hearing this, Mr. Liu hesitated: "... It's just finished, isn't it a bit too rushed?"
The handsome and innocent man smiled and asked, "Elder Liu, can you find someone better than him?"
Liu Lao: "..."
After thinking for a while, Liu Lao suddenly felt that he seemed to be trapped by the other party. The old man winked at Qin Cheng and said, "You didn't deliberately deceive me just now, did you? Qin Cheng, I heard about you going to give the award to Rong Xu, and you must have gone to give him the award on purpose. , your relationship is so good, you clearly recommended him on purpose, right?"
Liu Lao and Qin Cheng have known each other for many years, and the two have a good relationship.
It stands to reason that when a normal person is exposed, they should feel ashamed instead of panicking, but Qin Cheng just raised his brows slightly, the corners of his lips raised quietly, and asked with a light smile, "Then what do you want? Don't you want me to invite him?"
Liu Lao: "..."
Xu Jin, who was watching silently from the side: "..."
Finally, there are people in this world who can feel his pain!
After the phone call at noon, Qin Cheng sent the script of "Zhuang Hua Luo" to Rong Xu. In fact, Qin Cheng and Rong Xu revealed some plot content a long time ago. In short, this is a martial arts story in the last years of the Ming Dynasty and in troubled times.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the four seas were chaotic, and the dynasty of more than two hundred years was almost exhausted.
After Kong Chao, the commander of Jin Yiwei played by Qin Cheng, returned to the imperial court after a conspiracy mission, his brothers died mysteriously one by one. Everyone died quite normally, some from accidents, some from mission failures. However, within a year, eleven people died one after another, making Kong Chao feel abnormal.
Until one day when Kong Chao returned home, a brother escaped to him with serious injuries and died in his arms. Before he died, this man pointed at Kong Chao's heart, but his tongue had already been cut off.
Next, in order to find out the truth, Kong Chao started a series of explorations, but in the end he fell into a chess game.
The role that Rong Xu was going to play was that of Zhu Molang, the prince of the dynasty, and the Jinyiwei led by Kong Chao was loyal to the emperor. Before Kong Chao could find out the source of the truth, Zhu Molang summoned him and asked about his recent bizarre actions. After learning that Jin Yiwei had died in a series of bizarre deaths, he appointed Kong Chao to investigate the truth.
So from now on, Kong Chao went deep into the rivers and lakes, searching for the truth in the fog, but unexpectedly everything pointed in an unimaginable direction.
The movie "Zhuanghualuo" is taken from reality, but it is also divorced from reality. For example, the prince that Rong Xu is going to play, his prototype is highly rated in history, not to mention his ability is powerful, the point is that he is quite beautiful.
This alone gave Liu Lao a headache: if he has good acting skills and good looks, where can he find a good seedling in the short term
On the way to Hengdian, Rong Xu has been studying the script. This is the first time he has read the script. Originally, he just wanted to analyze the script rationally as an outsider, but after watching it, he was actually attracted by the plot. At the end, all the foreshadowings were revealed one by one, the twists and turns, and after all the truth was revealed, he had to sigh in his heart.
Seeing Rong Xu frowning slightly, Rosie asked in a low voice, "Xiao Xu, is this script good?"
Rong Xu had few expressions when he read the script. It was the first time Rosie had seen his current appearance.
Hearing this, Rong Xu locked the screen of her phone, raised her head with a smile and asked, "Sister Xiaoqian, what do you think of Qin Cheng's movies?"
Hearing the name of his own boss, the little assistant sitting in the driver's seat immediately pricked up his ears, only to hear Rosie say without hesitation: "Qin Shen's movies are amazing! You have to watch it at least three times!"
Obviously not praising himself, but Rong Xu couldn't help laughing: "Well, so you say, is this script good?"
Rosie nodded immediately.
Rong Xu never doubted Qin Cheng's ability to select scripts. In fact, he is also very picky about scripts, but now he can receive fewer scripts than Qin Cheng, and there are not so many choices. Just like this "Zhuanghualuo", Rong Xu is also very interested in Qin Cheng's role, but it is absolutely impossible for Mr. Liu to let him play.
However... the role of Zhu Molang is actually no worse than Kong Chao.
Jinyiwei wears flying fish clothes, using the highest-quality Yunjin, and the skilled embroidery girls in the south of the Yangtze River are made of Zhuanghualuo, Zhuanghua yarn and Zhuanghua silk, and they wear embroidered spring knives. Kong Chao is a veritable protagonist, but Zhu Molang is the key character throughout.
Rong Xu closed his eyes and thought about the plot of the whole movie. Ten minutes later, he turned on his phone again and read the script for the second time. When reading the script this time, he did not substitute his own emotions, but analyzed the script from an objective point of view.
Excellent screenwriters have their own intentions for every line.
Rong Xu first read all the plots with Zhu Molang's role, and then specifically picked out Zhu Molang's lines and studied it several times. When the car was bumpy, he could only hold his mobile phone and study silently in his heart.
Because of the traffic jam, it was already eight o'clock in the evening when I actually came to Hengdian Film and Television City.
Rong Xu entered the crew with Qin Cheng's assistant, and did not see a single idler along the way, all the staff came and went in a hurry. When some staff saw Rong Xu, they excitedly wanted to come up and ask for an autograph, but they just hurriedly asked for an autograph and then immediately threw themselves into their work.
Rosie said suspiciously, "They're so busy."
Rong Xu didn't answer. He heard a sharp and sharp metal crash, which made the air tremble. It seems to be the sound of black iron colliding, and the entire crew is silent, only this banging sound keeps ringing.
Rosie also closed her mouth and stopped talking. When she approached again, Rong Xu raised her eyes and saw the man—
Wearing a blue woven flying fish suit, with a wide black belt tied tightly around his waist, with a pair of jade-inlaid official boots on his feet, with a point on his toes, his figure was like a flying swallow, and he quickly passed through the building to meet the masked man in black. Passed by, stabbed in the heart.
Qin Cheng's stern and profound face is like a sculpture, and his black eyes are soaked with cold cold light. However, he did not stop, slaughtering lives indifferently and mercilessly, and finally fell to one knee, the embroidered spring knife was soaked with blood, and when he was propped on the ground, there were more than a dozen corpses behind him.
On the empty road, the shops on both sides have long been closed, and only the desolate moonlight shines on the earth and this blood-filled world. The dazzling blood flowed down from the bodies of those corpses, and spread slowly along the gaps in the bluestone slabs, looking terrifying.
Seeing this scene, Rosie couldn't help covering her mouth, while Rong Xu narrowed her eyes and looked at Qin Cheng calmly.
I saw Qin Cheng slowly stand up from the ground with the help of this narrow embroidered spring knife. There was a trace of blood on his lips. When he raised his head, his eyes were opposite to Rong Xu, but he did not change color at all, as if he did not see Rong Xu at all, he still stood up calmly and left the place step by step. alleys.
The indifferent and powerful aura instantly dissipated, pressing down on everyone.
"Card!"
When Liu Lao's voice sounded, the entire crew finally started to move again.
The extras who played the corpse on the ground stood up one by one, and the props teacher went up to help them remove Weiya. The leader of the props team also quickly stepped forward to help Qin Cheng untie the Weiya on his body. At the same time, the makeup artist stepped forward quickly and picked up the brush to touch up Qin Cheng's makeup.
Unexpectedly, Qin Cheng shook his head gently and said, "My friend is here."
The makeup artist was stunned for a moment, then moved away subconsciously, letting Qin Cheng walk away from the set.
Under the watchful eyes of countless crew members, Qin Cheng walked out of the set step by step, passed through seven or eight cameras, and walked in front of Rong Xu. He bowed his head slightly, there was fake blood on his lips, and he was also wearing that cold and chilling dark blue flying fish suit. The long-haired wig was tied high and tied at the back of his head. When he lowered his head, the strands of hair fell down his cheeks, which was even more beautiful.
Qin Cheng stared at the young man in front of him seriously, and Rong Xu also looked up at him.
The man's deep phoenix eyes were filled with incomprehensible colors. His thin lips were slightly pursed and his lips moved, as if he had something to say, but after a while, in the eyes of dozens of staff members, he just opened his arms, He hugged Rong Xu gently, and said calmly, "You're here."
Can't say more, can only say these three words.
Being embraced by the man, Rong Xu smelled only the smell of prop plasma, but he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips. Thousands of words, in the end can only be turned into one sentence: "Long time no see."
It was like the most common friend meeting. Although there was something strange about this hug, the staff didn't think too much about it.
Liu Lao quickly noticed the situation here. When he saw Rong Xu, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he strode over: "Rong Xu? I heard Lao Xu praise you before, and I heard that you just finished the project yesterday. , Do you have the energy to audition now? Just when the makeup team has time, they can directly help you with a styling."
As soon as Mr. Liu opened his mouth, he blocked his way, making Rong Xu dumbfounded.
After all, Mr. Liu had already come over, so Rong Xu naturally couldn't hold Qin Cheng any longer, so he had to let go and said with a smile, "Is it Director Xu Sheng?"
Liu Lao laughed: "Yes, I heard that your next drama is going to cooperate with Lao Xu, so I called him at noon."
This sentence is light, but it also implies that Mr. Liu has already figured out the details of Rong Xu. He hadn't seen Rong Xu's works, neither "Chasing the Deer" nor "Ambush". He originally wanted to watch "Black Clouds", but he happened to have something to watch, so he didn't watch it during the release, and then he was busy with "Black Clouds". I didn't have time to watch the early preparations for Zhuang Hua Luo.
In the past two days, Mr. Liu has auditioned for seven or eight movie niches. Either the image is not suitable, or the acting skills cannot pass the test.
Although Qin Cheng recommended Rong Xu, Liu Lao couldn't agree to it hastily. He was relieved when he learned that Rong Xu's acting skills were good and actually passed Xu Sheng's eyes. This saves time for Rong Xu to audition. If his acting skills are poor, it will be a waste of everyone's time.
Rong Xu was about to agree, but heard Qin Cheng snort softly and said in a low voice, "What did Director Xu say?"
Liu Lao replied: "Lao Xu said that Rong Xu is a good talent. He decided to cooperate with you after watching "Black Clouds"." After a pause, Liu Lao smiled again: "Qin Cheng recommended it to me. When I was with you, I thought it was pretty good, how about it, Rong Xu, can I change my look now?"
Qin Cheng nodded: "Director Xu said it well and has a good eye. Last year's "Deep Courtyard" was very good."
After hearing this, Liu Lao turned his head and chatted with Qin Cheng about Xu Sheng's "Deep Courtyard", which was nominated for the Golden Phoenix Award, but for a while he forgot to urge Rong Xu to do makeup. He has been chatting with Qin Cheng, Qin Cheng nods from time to time, the old man chats up, and chats about a movie he made last year.
Taking this opportunity, Rong Xu finally took a breath.
As soon as he got up at noon today, he received a call from Qin Cheng, packed his luggage, and came to Hengdian Film and Television City. Needless to say, the fatigue along the way is natural. If he really makes him wear makeup again and again, I am afraid that he will not be able to audition in the best state.
After Mr. Liu finished speaking, he picked up the cup and took a sip of water. Qin Cheng turned his head and said to his assistant, "Take him to my place for a rest."
The little assistant nodded quickly, and Liu Lao finally remembered: "Wait a minute, didn't you say you're going to wear makeup?"
Qin Chengdan smiled and curled his lips, and said, "When I met Rilov in Berlin last year, he told me that he was planning to make a movie this year..."
Liu Lao's attention was drawn again, and it was only after the two of them chatted for half an hour that Liu Lao suddenly realized. He hurriedly asked Rong Xu to put on makeup and prepare for the audition. Qin Cheng frowned slightly and was about to speak, but Rong Xu smiled and shook his head at him, so he could only agree.
While wearing makeup, Rong Xu received a text message from a certain man.
[Qin Cheng: If I knew that the traffic jam was like this today, I should pick you up tomorrow.]
Traffic jam is an extremely tiring thing. If Rong Xu arrives at Hengdian at four or five o'clock, it may not be too tired. It is naturally no problem to go directly to the makeup audition. But now he arrived just after 8 o'clock, and he was already exhausted, so Mr. Liu urged him to film earlier.
[Rong Xu: It's better to be early, I'll make it today, if it doesn't work, I can go back by tomorrow's plane.]
After a while, Qin Cheng's text message replied: [... You're not here, will you stay for a few more days?]
How many days? That is how many days you spend with someone
Seeing the other party's intentions directly, Rong Xu asked sternly: [You think so, I will fail the audition?]
Qin Cheng, who saw this text message: "..."
Well, fell into the trap.
Next Qin Cheng went to film, Rong Xu put down the phone and put on makeup in peace. Zhu Molang's costume was a very cumbersome and gorgeous python robe. The three makeup artists joined hands to sort out the gold-encrusted and jade-encrusted clothes. Then the makeup artist carefully helped Rong Xu put on a hair cap, and skillfully pulled the long black hair around to the back of his head.
Maybe it's because the stars who auditioned for the audition have put on a lot of makeup these days. These makeup artists are obviously very skilled, and they will finish Rong Xu's look in a few strokes. When the makeup was over, one of the older makeup artists suddenly thought: "Oh, right, where is that red mole? Yesterday, the director said that the center of the eyebrows is not very good, where should I change it?"
Another makeup artist thought for a while: "Director Wang said that the end of the eye is suitable, or is it there?"
"Okay, I'll try... Huh? Rong Rong's eye has a light trace at the end!" As if realizing his slip of the tongue, the makeup artist suddenly blushed, became serious again, and said seriously: "I... I Click here."
While speaking, the makeup artist took a cinnabar pen and lightly touched a dark red mole on the end of Rong Xu's eye.
It was all over at last, the makeup artist who had exposed the attributes of his fangirl walked aside shyly and did not dare to look at Rong Xu again. However, Rong Xu stood up and handed the phone to Rosie. Instead of leaving the dressing room immediately, she looked at the makeup artists with a smile and asked, "Hello, I'm Rong Xu, please give me more advice."
All the makeup artists were stunned.
The next moment, the four makeup artists immediately came over and said in unison, "Rong Rong! Can you sign an autograph for me! I really, really, really like you!!!"
Rong Xu: "… "
Actually... so many people.
After signing the names of each makeup artist, Rong Xu walked out of the dressing room. Outside, Qin Cheng had already ended his role today, still wearing makeup, talking to Mr. Liu. When they heard someone call out the name "Rongrong" accidentally, they turned their heads together. In an instant, Qin Cheng's eyes froze, and Mr. Liu also opened his eyes wide and stared in a stunned manner.
Zhu Molang's good looks, the screenwriter used a bunch of complicated and magnificent words to describe it, and finally added a sentence "words can't express". Rong Xu's good looks, but the moment he walked out of the dressing room, he was like the brightest existence in the world, attracting the eyes of all things in the world.
The phoenix eyes are tall, the face is gorgeous, the beautiful jade is dressed, and the phoenix seal is a dragon.
At that moment, the dark red mole at the end of the eye burned like a raging fire. Rong Xu raised his eyes and looked at Qin Cheng with a light smile. The latter couldn't help pursing his lips, and his throat gradually became dry. Their sights passed five or six meters and met in the air.
Qin Cheng opened his lips slightly. He was about to open his mouth, but before he could speak, he heard Boss Liu say with a smile, "Okay! Today's scene is over, so hurry up and audition, it's great!"
