Superstars start as villains

Chapter 12 Revisiting the old place.

Mainland, Beijing.

A movie theater, "The Darkness and the Wind" is showing.

An inch head and a pair of brothers are staring at the screen with great interest.

"This movie is not bad, it has a taste of Hong Kong movies, and the actors are also good." The cropped man suddenly looked around: "But why are there so few people watching?"

The two brothers looked at each other, and the older brother said with a smile: "No matter how good a movie is, it needs promotional packaging, and those Xiangjiang directors didn't pay attention to our mainland market. I heard that the investment of this movie is 4000 million, and the domestic box office of Xiangjiang is only more than 1000 million." , if we shoot it, we will lose money, but they still have the Southeast Asian market, so not only will they not lose money, but they can also make a small profit."

Cuntou was not without envy: "Tsk tsk, it turns out that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. When will we spend so much money to make a movie?"

At this time, the screen happened to be the scene of Dong Guanzi, played by Zhou Xing, beating his head with a wooden stick.

"Gangzi, we two brothers won't play tricks on you anymore. As long as you sign a contract with the company, within three years, we will definitely invest in a blockbuster movie for you!"

Cun Tou thought for a long time, and finally the three hands clenched tightly together.

Another movie theater also showed "Blackness and the Wind and Cloud". Just a few minutes after the film was shown, Dongguan boy played by Zhou Xing appeared on the big screen sideways leaning on the table.

"Hey, is that Zhou Xing?" A girl suddenly exclaimed.

The male companions who were traveling together could only look apologetically at the surrounding audience in embarrassment.

However, this does not prevent the news that Zhou Xing will appear in the movie began to spread among Jingying classmates. Although Zhou Xing's group of students have graduated for more than two years, but those who can actually make movies are only rare, and most of them are still in the film industry. In some TV dramas, he plays tricks, or just like Zhou Xing before, he got seniority in various drama troupes.

Suddenly one of the classmates has appeared on the big screen, everyone is naturally envious and jealous, as for hating, it doesn't really count, after all, in this era, everyone's ideas are not so impetuous.

Of course, some people are genuinely happy for Zhou Xing, while others are embarrassed. Lin Xiaohong, Zhou Xing offended the leader of the drama troupe because of her. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. This incident was also aroused in the circle of classmates at the time. .

Some people say that Zhou Xing is stupid, some people say that Lin Xiaohong is shameless, but as the heroine of the incident, Lin Xiaohong, relying on the relationship with the leader of the troupe, soared to the top and soon became the heroine, but Zhou Xing was blocked and expelled from the drama troupe. .

During that time, when Zhou Xing was mentioned, the students sympathized with him, and at the same time regarded him as a negative teaching material. They were once used by them to warn the students not to push themselves forward.

However, as the news of Zhou Xing's appearance in the movie spread among classmates, and the past was brought up again, Zhou Xing transformed into a warrior defying power.

And Lin Xiaohong naturally became the target of public criticism, being despised and excluded by her classmates, and even her former girlfriends avoided her.

"By the way, where is Zhou Xing now? It seems like I haven't seen him for a long time."

The students soon discovered that Zhou Xing seemed to have disappeared from everyone's sight since that incident, and no one knew where he had gone.

In the end, some careful students found out that "The Black and White Meeting" is a Xiangjiang movie.

"Did this kid go to Xiangjiang?"

Xiangjiang, Zhou Xing is in a good mood these days. Of course, it’s not because he got an important role, but because he doesn’t know what’s going on recently. The number of fans has skyrocketed inexplicably. He even thought it was a system failure. BUG.

However, as a matter of fact, although the box office of "Black and White" is not good in the mainland, it has an excellent reputation. Mainland movie fans are not used to going to theaters to watch movies, and they prefer to watch movies by buying discs.

With the existence of pirated discs, "The Black and White Meeting" has become popular in the mainland, and the Dongguan Boy he plays is calm and ruthless, so he is naturally favored by some audiences.

Facts have proved that pirated copies are always more influential than genuine ones. In just half a month, Zhou Xing's fan base has broken through the [-] mark, which is really dumbfounding.

The production team of Xiangjiang is still very efficient, and the preparations for "Xun Qin Zhuan" are almost done, but what surprised Zhou Xing was that the production team actually filmed in the whole mainland.

"Xingzi, aren't you from the mainland? We will rely on you to cover us then." An assistant director joked.

Zhou Xing smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "The mainland is so big, I am familiar with Guangdong Province, and Zhuozhou Film and Television City is in Hebei, I have never been there, how can I cover it?"

A group of people talked and laughed and boarded the plane.

The flight landed in the capital, and after half a year, Zhou Xing set foot on this familiar land again, and he couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.

Half a year ago, he had nowhere to go, so he had to go far away to Xiangjiang. In fact, looking back now, if there was still a way, he would not have gone to Xiangjiang, and naturally he would not have the opportunity later.

Thinking about it this way, fate is really wonderful.

"Unexpectedly, there are so many high-rise buildings in the mainland. I came here ten years ago, and it is really changing with each passing day." Looking at the surrounding buildings, the director couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

On the tourist bus, many of the fellow staff members came to the mainland for the first time, which was completely different from their impression of backwardness and poverty. Gradually, the original mentality of coming to the countryside from an international metropolis also disappeared It gradually dissipated.

In fact, in comparison, most places in Xiangjiang are not as good as the countryside in the mainland, let alone the capital city.

As the tourist bus traveled all the way, everyone's original excitement was also taken over by exhaustion. Gradually, everyone lost interest in talking and began to cultivate their spirits.

After about three hours, they finally arrived at their destination. Compared with Hengdian, Zhuozhou Film and Television City is naturally much smaller, but for the Xiangjiang crew who are used to seeing Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City, it is already very majestic.

Several sisters of the martial arts team even specially asked Zhou Xing to help them take a lot of photos.

The leaders of the film and television city heard early in the morning that there was a Hong Kong film crew moving in today, and they came to welcome them with dignity. The group received unprecedented courtesy, and everyone was smiling.

However, almost no one in the Xiangjiang crew can speak Mandarin, not to mention that the leaders of the film and television city speak Mandarin with a Hebei accent, so Zhou Xing became the translator, from arranging the dormitory to the reception banquet in the evening, he basically relied on him alone. people.

At the welcome banquet, everyone drank a lot of wine, and it was still white wine, and they didn't wake up until the next day.

The director patted Zhou Xing on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Xingzi, thanks to you this time, otherwise it would be embarrassing for us to talk to each other. I will ask them to arrange translation immediately. However, you also know that the budget of the crew is limited. In the future, you When you’re not filming, it’s best to help out.”

Zhou Xing naturally agreed with all his mouth, and secretly slandered in his heart: As expected of the Xiangjiang crew, he would not let go of any opportunity to reduce costs.

learned, learned.
