After getting back together with my ex, I became popular

Xue Yunzhi stood at the entrance of the actor's passage in the backstage, staring intently at the vertical poster on one side.

This is the official character promotion poster of "King Lear" this time. King Lear and his three daughters occupy the most central position. Even the loyal and loyal veteran Kent can only be put down in the lower right corner. Not to mention the jester who disappears after halftime.Where the main cast is introduced on the poster, you can't even see the name of the Fool because of space constraints.

Perhaps it is precisely because he can't see his face and don't know his name that people will focus all his attention on his language and body movements, so this character with clown makeup and funny hat has become a full-fledged character instead. The character who most touched her in the play.

Until the curtain fell, Xue Yunzhi couldn't help thinking about the final outcome of the fool, whether he really went to take a nap and left voluntarily, or was actually secretly killed.

But all the emotional resonance caused by the plot can't compare to Xue Yunzhi's shock when he saw the complete cast list.

The person playing the prankster was completely different from what she had expected. It was not a middle-aged drama actor with many years of acting experience, but Xu Chen—the one who became popular with "The Power of Kings". The silent new top class.

After working in the entertainment industry for so long, Xue Yunzhi is very familiar with the process of making stars and praising people.

Xu Chen's popularity to this point is inseparable from Guanying's brainwashing marketing at the beginning, but she cannot deny that, whether it is appearance or acting skills, this person has indeed handed over an outstanding job in "King Power". Judging from the tension of this drama performance, he is even more advanced than that time.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Just as she was completely immersed in her thoughts, a deep voice accompanied by the sound of approaching footsteps sounded, "Is it Miss Xue?"

Xue Yunzhi regained his senses slightly, and turned around to see a handsome and flamboyant face.It seemed that it was probably because he had just washed his face and removed his makeup. The roots of his hair on the forehead were slightly moist, with a refreshing smell of water vapor.

She suddenly felt that it was a little too impulsive to ask the backstage staff to contact him just now.

Whether the acting ability is outstanding or not is not mentioned for the time being. The figure and appearance are indeed too superior. This kind of configuration may become a powerful tool for attracting fans in TV dramas, but it is easy to put in movies with limited duration and need to tell a good story. cause blurred focus.

Too many people will pay attention to his face and ignore the development of the plot.

However, the project in hand has been established for almost seven months, and such a twenty-something leading actor has not yet been finalized.

If no one can be found, the bonus will be deducted by Mr. Ji...

"Miss Xue?" Xu Chen looked at the frowning woman in front of him who was clearly in a daze, waited for a few seconds, and finally repeated in a low voice.

Xue Yunzhi said "ah" and blinked: "...I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Now that people have come, let's talk and see the situation.

She completely settled her mind, stretched out her right hand and put on a standard professional smile, "I'm Xue Yunzhi, hello."

"Hello." Xu Chen bent slightly and shook his hand back, "Xu Chen."

"Nice to meet you." Xue Yunzhi took out his business card from his bag and introduced himself, "I am Xue Yunzhi, Director of Film Production Department of Bohua Media. Do you have 10 minutes?"

"I'm doing casting work for a movie project and I want to chat with you first."

Xu Chen took the business card, looked at the four characters "Bohua Media" in the upper left corner of the business card, thought of his little boyfriend, and couldn't help laughing: "Of course."

"Come in here and talk, be a little quieter."

There was a small tea room in the backstage of the actor's performance. Xu Chen walked to the table, took a paper cup and asked, "Do you want something to drink?"

"Water is good." Xue Yunzhi continued to observe Xu Chen, and said, "Today's performance of "King Lear" was very pleasant, and so is your performance."

"Thank you." Xu Chen handed the water to Xue Yunzhi, hooked the corners of his lips, but said calmly, "It's good that the audience likes it."

"I don't know if you mind if I ask." Xue Yunzhi took a sip from the paper cup and looked up: "So you were busy with drama rehearsals during the two months you disappeared after you terminated the contract?"

"It's been so long since I haven't exposed it. Even if there is such a good topic as acting, and I don't promote it, I'm not afraid of losing fans by climbing the wall?"

"It would be nice to catch them back after that." Xu Chen joked first, and then said with a slightly restrained expression, "I didn't think about it that much. At this stage, I still plan to improve myself."

In fact, during the period when the contract was just terminated, he thought a lot over and over again.What Zhao Yi said was right, without Guanying, he would not be where he is today. He insisted on terminating the contract, three points were because he was angry at being forced to apologize, and the remaining seven points were entirely because of his own mentality.

He wants pure performance.

Afraid of becoming impure.

Will this be too impulsive?

Are you mature?does it worth?

And after the termination of the contract was successful, what should he do next?

Xu Chen felt that it would take some time for him to figure this out, so he rejected Ji Fei's offer of a maximum-salary contract and returned to where he started.

Hearing this, Xue Yunzhi nodded slightly, but continued to attack: "After that? How long is it after?"

"The entertainment industry is changing so fast now. I think "King Lear" will have a two-week tour in the next two weeks. If you don't have zero publicity for three months, and then go on, then you won't be where you are now. It feels uncomfortable to be confused and ignored."

"What's more, don't you already have the label of good acting skills? It's already very good for a rookie who just debuted."

"I'm 26 years old, and I've been in the industry for almost two years. I'm not a newcomer." Xu Chen turned and leaned against the edge of the table, lowering his eyes and said softly, "Actually, Director Xue must be able to see that I can't be popular without marketing." Credit."

"If ten is a perfect score, the marketing promotion will make the audience think that I have nine points, but I actually only have seven points. There is still too much room for improvement."

"But when I first became popular, even I felt that I had nine points or even ten points, and my mentality was still not good." He shrugged, generously and casually admitting his shortcomings.

After saying this, as if realizing that he had said too much, Xu Chen joked, and even his expression was dazed for a few seconds: "Wait...why does it feel like I'm on a talk show?" ? Or late-night radio, soul-feeling columns."

"What about the film project that was agreed upon?"

Xue Yunzhi was amused and smiled.

Intentional probing brought unexpected answers.

She raised her eyes to meet Xu Chen's clean and clear eyes, and really saw some qualities in this young man that she had been looking for. Although she didn't know what the final result would be, whether Xu Chen could get the original author's love However, Xue Yunzhi felt that at this moment, the most correct choice for her was to offer an olive branch to the other party.

Actors need good movies, and good movies need suitable actors.

"Stardust." She paused and then said, "I don't know if you have read this novel."

"You are always welcome to audition."

After packing up and coming out of the backstage, taking Chen Jiahan to eat her favorite Japanese food, and sending him to the car, it was already 09:30 in the evening.

After Xu Chen put on his mask, he pressed down the brim of his hat again, and walked near the subway station with his schoolbag on his back.Now that he has terminated the contract, he has no company, no assistant, and he has sold the off-road vehicle. When Ji Fei is not at home, public transportation becomes the only way to travel.

At this point in time, the flow of people in the subway station is not too big.

Xu Chen picked the car with the fewest people, and after entering, sat down in the corner at the far end, turned on his mobile phone and began to read the outline of the story that Xue Yunzhi sent to him, provided by the author of the original work.

There was melodious music in the earphones, the billboard outside the subway window cast water-like ripples on the window, the mechanical female voice's arrival reminder sounded vaguely, pedestrians were going up and down, but Xu Chen never raised his head.

Pulled into a parallel world by the text and the plot, he followed the ups and downs of the author's narration and completely entered another person's life.He was so addicted that when he came back to his senses again, the car door was wide open, and he was the only one left in the whole car.

Xu Chen blinked, leaned forward and looked up at the top route sign, and the next second, he immediately jumped up from his seat.

.........Wow.

Actually sat directly at the terminal.

He turned off his mobile phone and rushed out with his bag on his back, not at all upset because he missed a stop and had to spend an extra hour on the road.On the contrary, Xu Chen is in an exceptionally good mood now, and if conditions permit, he even wants to jump up and down a few times.

He really liked the story so much.

—

When the plane landed in Hwaseong, it was just after five o'clock in the afternoon. As a result, it encountered a traffic jam on the elevated road and stopped for a while. When it entered the urban area, the sky was already dark.

The Bentley car sent him downstairs. Just as Ji Fei opened the door and stood still at the entrance, two heads heard a voice poking out from the bedroom door.

The one above belongs to Xu Chen.

The one below is the little fat orange cat.

Before he could react, one person and one cat rushed out at the same time like a competition.

Ji Fei couldn't even throw his briefcase on the ground casually, stretched out his arms and hugged Xu Houzi who jumped directly on top of him, and then took half a step back slightly under the pressure of the momentum.

The cat was scratching the trouser legs, and there was a person hanging on his body, but the exhaustion from spinning around for two days seemed to disappear suddenly.He tilted his head and kissed Xu Chen's forehead, and with a smile in his voice, he asked, "What's so happy about it?"

Xu Chen put his head on Ji Fei's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I just think you are very powerful."

"Huh?" Ji Fei hugged the man and walked towards the sofa. As soon as he sat down, the orange cat also jumped in from the side, making a fluffy bed, half pressing his legs.

Xu Chen looked at Ji Fei who was clearly overwhelmed, held the other's face in his hands and "babble", raised his eyebrows and said, "It's amazing that you can take down the copyright of the novel "Stardust". "

Ji Fei was slightly startled: "How do you know?"

"Director Xue Yunzhi told me that she asked me to audition." Xu Chen explained a little excitedly, "I really want to win."

But unexpectedly, Ji Fei didn't follow Xu Chen's words, but said with a slight frown: "This role will be too hard."
