Other means of transportation were too slow. Luo Xun took a plane back to Yanjing. First-class tickets were definitely unaffordable. Economy class was the best choice for Luo Xun and Kong Shuang——

It takes half a day to fly in the air.

Luo Xun leaned on the back seat to rest slightly tired. He tilted his head just enough to see the clouds outside the cabin window. His ears felt a little stuffy, as if they were blocked by something. This feeling was not very comfortable, but it was not the same as Luo Xun. It is related to the fact that my body rarely flies, and I will get used to it if I fly a few more times in the future.

"The audition is scheduled."

Kong Shuang sat next to Luo Xun.

In fact, during the filming of "Dragon", she was both Luo Xun's agent and temporarily served as Luo Xun's life assistant. Only in this way could Luo Xun concentrate on his work.

Luo Xun nodded.

He knew that the audition Kong Shuang was talking about was the audition for the third male lead in "Young Zhang Sanfeng". This audition opportunity was also obtained with help from Hu Jun. Although the hope of passing was not high, the opportunity should not be wasted and one should always fight for it.

Again.

Even meeting the director in charge of the audition and exchanging contact information would be of great benefit in the future, so Luo Xun still took this matter seriously.

"Are you a little tired?"

Kong Shuang expressed concern: "That's what actors are like. Sometimes, you can't help it. You have to rush to the audition as soon as you get off the plane. You probably don't have time to adjust your state..."

"It doesn't matter."

Luo Xun was as worry-free as ever.

Kong Shuang felt a little relieved and said: "You seem to have never asked me about the remuneration of this drama. As an actor, you still have to care about your own worth. This drama is invested by the company, so your remuneration There is only 2,500 yuan per episode, but for newcomers, this price is barely acceptable. After the commissions from all parties, there are still more than 10,000 yuan left in your hands, and they have all been credited to your card. superior."

"fine."

Luo Xun said with a smile: "Being an actor also has its benefits. Even food, drinks, accommodation and transportation are reimbursed by the crew. Although we as supporting actors can't live in the best rooms in the hotel, the treatment is much better than that of ordinary minor characters."

He didn't feel unbalanced.

Firstly, it is the millennium now, and the value of 3,000 yuan is no less than 10,000 yuan in the future. Secondly, this is the company's own investment company. The price for company trainees like Luo Xun to star in their own company's dramas has always been He's going to be squeezed a lot——

Even Lin Zhiying.

This little whirlwind, who was as popular as the Four Heavenly Kings during his peak period, seemed to be paid less than 30,000 an episode for "Dragon". In this market, stars' salaries were not so exaggerated as to be unreasonable in later generations.

But some things will remain the same now and in the future.

For example, the status hierarchy of the crew is as strict as ever. Big names in the crew such as Lin Zhiying, Hu Jun, etc. will definitely stay in the best rooms in the hotel, while supporting actors like Luo Xun will stay in ordinary big-bed rooms in the hotel. If it is weaker, For example, actors who play Abi live in a twin room...

The smallest one is the small hotel nearby.

There are also different shuttle buses to and from the set every day.

Luo Xun can occasionally be picked up by a commercial vehicle, but smaller actors have to ride on the bus to and from the show. Some artist teams will let their own people drive, while others will be provided by the production crew. It depends on the negotiation between the two parties.

"You always have a good attitude."

Kong Shuang said with emotion: "They are better than me. This is actually the first time I have brought an artist to the set. It has been very fruitful. I have seen nothing in front of you. If you don't let go, I am sure that within two years, Put you in first class!”

"First class..."

Luo Xun's eyes were yearning.

It's not that he yearns for the environment and service of first class. After all, it's not like he's never flown in it in his previous life. He yearns for what first class represents.

“And it’s reimbursed by the crew!”

Kong Shuang's eyes flashed with ambition.

Luo Xun said with a smile: "Then I have to at least be an equal. By the way, you said you gained a lot from this trip. What exactly are you gaining? Share it with me, a friend who is in the same boat."

"The circle is a little wider."

Kong Shuang took out his mobile phone and suddenly remembered that he couldn't turn it on on the plane, so he put it back: "You know, there are not only circles among artists, but also among managers, and among managers."

"Have you never had this circle before?"

"Of course it has happened before. There are big and small agents in the industry. Although I also coached artists when I was an intern in the company, I was not a direct agent. Instead, I served as an assistant to the big agent in the company, helping him with some matters that he handled. But the problem is that during that process, I also met some colleagues and mastered some small resources, but those resources are of little value to you who have already appeared in "Dragon Movie"..."

"What about this time?"

"This time is definitely different. You stand out on the set. Although some people stay away from you, some people notice you and appreciate you. In addition, Director Zhou Xiaowen and Director Zhao Jian appreciate you very much. Give you A lot of drama was added..."

Luo Xun was indeed added to the scene.

Because of Big Beard's acquiescence, Luo Xun changed a considerable part of the script, and all of them were approved by Zhou Xiaowen, so the role of Luo Xun was increased. In terms of the number of scenes and the importance of the role, Luo Xun, Murong Fu, He is already considered the fourth male lead in the play.

"This drama is not for nothing."

Kong Shuang paused and said, "Because of your performance, I have also been directly affected. For example, Lin Zhiying's agent. Normally, Lin Zhiying's agent is someone that new agents like me need to look up to and is difficult to contact. But because of your outstanding performance, I got her contact information. In addition, I also got the numbers of big-name agents such as Hu Jun. Although we are not yet at the point where we can share resources with each other, at least the seed has been planted. If you can become popular in the future, I can call these numbers directly."

Luo Xun nodded.

As expected, and as Hu Jun commented, Kong Shuang is a very qualified agent. During this trip to the crew, she seized the opportunity very well and used the influence of Luo Xun playing Murong Fu in the play to expand her network to the greatest extent...

Chatted for a while.

Luo Xun felt a little sleepy, so he slept for a while. When he woke up again, the plane had arrived, but it was already dark: "I'll ask someone to pick us up and take us to the agreed restaurant immediately."

"Okay, let's go."

Luo Xun washed his face in the airport bathroom and felt much more energetic. On the way to the restaurant, Kong Shuang also took the time to explain some things to Luo Xun--

"The person you want to meet is called Yang Delong."

"This person is the director selected for "Young Zhang Sanfeng". He is not famous in the circle and probably has no decision-making power over the role, but Hu Jun can only do this step."

Luo Xun nodded.

He was not impressed by Director Yang Delong. "Young Zhang Sanfeng" was the peak of this director's life. In addition to this drama, the only famous TV series of this director in the future is "Yang Men Hujiang" starring Su Youpeng, but this drama will be forgotten after many years--

Luo Xun knew it very well.

Some dramas will be forgotten in the future, but some will always have a place in the hearts of the audience. For example, the bearded version of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" that I just finished filming is a work that will still be remembered by people many years later. Although the influence of "Young Zhang Sanfeng" is not as great as the former, it should not be underestimated.

Because this drama...

will become the ratings leader of next summer season.
