self-awareness

He Yang was finally chosen as the leading actor in "Nowhere to Escape". When Ye Tang received the news of the casting results, he didn't feel too regretful. The producer said that he still hoped to use some young and new faces, which is understandable .

Two days later, Ye Tang unexpectedly received an audition notice for another web drama, and he was specifically asked to bring makeup to the scene, and he also auditioned as a high school student.

Ye Tang did not doubt that he followed suit, and only after arriving at the scene did he realize that Director Wu from "Nowhere to Escape" was also there.

Ye Tang didn't get the audition script in advance, and the crew didn't even need him to audition. They just watched him, chatted briefly, and decided on the spot that Ye Tang should play the male lead in the play.

Ye Tang had never encountered such a headstrong crew. He didn't even know the outline of the story of the show, so he was notified to start the film two days ago.

Two days later, Ye Tang's first online drama was officially launched.

This is a pure campus network drama, which was funded and supervised by Director Wu’s son Wu Qi himself. Wu Qi followed in his father’s footsteps and devoted himself to the drama industry, but he did not have Director Wu’s pursuit of art and stood against Wu in the circle. The name of the director, bluffing around to talk about projects to raise money, two months ago he hit the big luck and really let him talk about a project, cooperate with an up-and-coming online platform, pull up a crew, plan to make a self-made online drama, and hit the industry peak.

This drama created to earn money does not seek excellence, but seeks quick results, so the casting process is extremely hasty, until the moment it starts, the name of the whole drama has not yet been decided, "Youth" is tentatively set, and the script is written for one episode Shooting one episode, the entire crew revealed a breath of death from the inside out, but they were full of fighting spirit.

On the first day of the filming, Ye Tang saw Director Wu at the scene. Director Wu watched the people in the venue turn their backs and did not intervene in the guidance. Instead, he said to Ye Tang: "Young man, perform well."

Ye Tang: "Director Wu, thank you for recommending me to the crew."

Director Wu waved his hand, "I'm not helping you either, my bastard is going to make a fool of himself this time, and there's no room for my old face."

Ye Tang understands that although Director Wu has a tone of hatred for iron, but of course he still hopes that Wu Qi can achieve something this time, "I will try my best."

Director Wu held a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the rookie director who was busy in the distance, and said, "Actually, according to my opinion, "Nowhere to Escape" should use you."

Ye Tang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Director Wu to bring up this topic suddenly.

"I think you are the choice that is closer to the role," Director Wu said affirmatively, "But it's already like this now, so I won't mention more, and don't be too sorry, what is yours will be yours, just come sooner. The difference of being late."

"Thank you, director." Ye Tang naturally understands the tricks behind the casting. Sometimes the director's power can be said to be great, but there are indeed times when the choice is powerless. Obviously, the casting of "Nowhere to Escape" cannot be filmed by the director alone. Surely, there are a lot of interests involved behind it, and this is also the ecology of the circle. Director Wu is willing to tell him something honest, and he is really grateful.

""Youth" and "Nowhere to Escape" have similar themes, and they both have campus dramas. I was the first to think of you." Director Wu still looked at the distance, and the intern who was lighting up knocked over a set, causing Come and yell.

Ye Tang expressed his thanks again, and asked the question in his heart: "Director, aren't you worried that "Nowhere to Escape" and "Youth" will collide?"

Two online dramas with the same themes may go online at a later date. It's hard to say what the outcome of the competition will be.

Just as Director Wu crushed the cigarette butt on the ground, the firework tube of the prop suddenly exploded not far away. There was a loud "bang" and sparks splashed everywhere. Wu Qi rushed forward with a fire extinguisher in hand, and extinguished the fire with a howl. , a piece of chicken and egg beat.

Director Wu rubbed the center of his brows, with a helpless expression on his face, "As far as your crew is concerned, whether it can be successfully completed is a problem, so please yourself!"

However, Director Wu's worries were obviously unfounded. A month later, the 10-episode online drama "Youth" really ended in a frenzy.

Wu Qi burst into tears at the wrap-up banquet, and wept with joy as he hugged the troubled brothers and sisters. It was such an amateur crew filled with two knives and laymen, who actually showed amazing cohesion. Under all kinds of unfavorable conditions, the impossible task was actually completed.

Another month later, "Youth" completed its post-production and quietly went online.

After Ye Tang finished filming "Youth", he quickly devoted himself to his new job. He didn't have much expectations for "Youth". After all, there are hundreds of online dramas launched every year. Such a small production It should be submerged in the torrent soon.

When Zhang Nan called that day, Ye Tang was taking a shower and changing clothes in the gym.

"Ye Tang! Where are you! Did you see the news!?" Zhang Nan said hurriedly.

It was rare for Ye Tang to hear Zhang Nan's unsteady tone, and his first reaction was that something bad happened, "Sister Zhang, I'm in the gym, what's the news? What happened?"

"Do you have a computer by your side? It's fine if you don't have a mobile phone, just read Du Niang's entertainment headlines today!"

Ye Tang took out the tablet from the locker in the dressing room, boarded Du Niang, and it was impressively displayed that ""Youth" has created a legend in online dramas, and hit more than [-] million hits within five days of its launch".

Zhang Nan called on the phone: "Did you see it!? The number of clicks exceeded [-] million!! "Youth" is on fire!"

Zhang Nan's description is not an exaggeration at all. "Youth" not only made Du Niang's headline overnight, but also swiped the homepages of major online media and forums. It went crazy, and soon, the entertainment news of major local satellite TVs also began to broadcast clips of "Youth" frequently.

Several big Vs on Weibo also began to comment and repost "Youth". What's more, comparing "Youth" with similar dramas, and using the cast for entertainment, the conclusion is that Ye Tang's acting skills are even better. , has good looks and strength, and performed the feelings of a generation. Such a small production and a poor and crazy crew actually created a legend.

Facts have proved that although Wu Qi's artistic attainment is not high, he still has two brushes in heretics. He has some genius ideas in promoting "Youth", grasping the points that the audience is most likely to resonate with, and editing out different versions of the film. , with the narration of sarcasm coupled with the technique of God's editing, with the help of the jokers on social platforms, it became a hot search in threes and twos, and it was quickly spread ten to ten and hundreds of times, "Youth" Word of mouth spread like this.

The popularity of "Youth" continued to ferment, and Gu Biao took advantage of the heat and held a film festival for Ye Tang. The scale was not large, but it was all Ye Tang's own photography works, which were well received immediately.

This film festival has also become an important event that created a turning point in Ye Tang's public opinion. Many fans of "Youth" came to support Ye Tang, spreading the news of the film festival, praising Ye Tang's talent and praise. Flooded on all major online platforms.

Ye Tang never thought that a small web drama or a photography exhibition could have such a big effect, but Gu Biao said that it would be a matter of time, and the slow whitewashing process had already laid a solid foundation for him. /news/news have been clarified, and people's memories are easy to be replaced by new hot events. As long as the news points are well used, it is not impossible to manipulate the direction of public opinion.

On the last day of Ye Tang's solo film exhibition, Gu Biao sent the media and held a brief press meeting. The reporters were all handled by Gu Biao, so the questions were not very sharp, and there was no danger.

After Ye Tang cooperated with the reporters to take pictures, he stepped aside. Gu Biao walked over and said, "I handled it well just now. This film festival was a success, and the reviews are all good."

Ye Tang smiled and expressed his gratitude, and said, "Actually, it has been my long-cherished wish to hold a film festival." This is why Gu Biao first proposed this idea, and he was very willing to cooperate.

"I know." Gu Biao said.

Ye Tang looked at Gu Biao's knowing attitude, and asked, "Mr. Gu, I've been asking you why you suddenly thought of holding a film festival for me?"

He doesn't seem to have mentioned to Gu Biao that he loves photography. How did Gu Biao know that he wants to hold a film festival?

Gu Biao lowered his head and smiled, "Actually, this is all Ming Chuan's idea."

Ye Tang raised a question mark on his forehead, "Ming Chuan?"

"He showed me your work, and I think it's really good. In addition, holding this film festival will have a positive effect on your public image, so I agreed."

Ye Tang was stunned. In his memory, Li Mingchuan should be extremely disgusted with his hobby of photography. Since middle school, he has been very careful not to mention or show his preference for this thing in front of Li Mingchuan. , he always felt that Li Mingchuan was still very taboo about secretly filming him back then.

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, Gu Biao looked up and said with a smile, "Cao Cao Cao Cao is here."

Ye Tang followed Gu Biao's gaze and saw that at the entrance of the film festival, Li Mingchuan was walking in surrounded by a group of reporters. More and more people surrounded him, and soon the passage was blocked.

Gu Biao patted Ye Tang, and said: "Ming Chuan doesn't just help others stand on the platform, you are the first one." After that, he also went forward.

Li Mingchuan is worthy of being a superstar, and he has become the focus of attention wherever he goes, and soon became the protagonist of the film festival, attracting all the crowd present.

Ye Tang watched from a distance outside the crowd, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Li Mingchuan's aura is indeed amazing, just like the superstar Uranus, if he hadn't been sent to live in Li's house since he was a child, such a person might never have anything to do with him It's really strange and strange that the two of them have come to this kind of relationship that is constantly being cut and messed up today.

During this period of time, Li Mingchuan showed his kindness frequently, and the strength and frequency almost amazed him. In fact, in his opinion, Li Mingchuan's labor-intensive sexual thinking was really unnecessary for him.

He has experienced Li Mingchuan's offensive against his lover, and he has also seen Li Mingchuan's methods with his own eyes. If this person wants to treat someone well, he can easily coax them into a dizzy direction. It makes people feel that there is no happiness in the world than spending a lifetime with him However, in the next second, you can turn your face and be ruthless and cold to the end, making people regret it.So now Li Mingchuan's kindness to him only made Ye Tang more vigilant, and he didn't want to give the other party the chance to repeat his old tricks and force him off the cliff before walking away gracefully.

He originally thought that Li Mingchuan's enthusiasm for him this time would not last long. It was an expedient measure to agree to continue the flesh-and-blood relationship with Li Mingchuan.

The painful experience of being detained by Li Mingchuan for nearly a month is still vivid in his mind. Li Mingchuan's crazy behavior made him have to be vigilant. I'm not sure I can walk out unscathed, and I really don't want to go through it again.So now we can only wait for the day when Li Mingchuan finally loses interest in him, and it would be best for everyone to break up.

Li Mingchuan finally came to Ye Tang's side under the escort of several security personnel. The two took a group photo under the witness of the reporters, and finally returned to the lounge.

There was no one else in the lounge, so Li Mingchuan grabbed Ye Tang's waist and bit the man's ear: "The response to the film festival is good, congratulations."

Ye Tang tilted his head, deliberately opened a little distance, "Thank you."

Li Mingchuan kissed the corner of Ye Tang's eyes, looking in a good mood, "Are you happy baby?"

Ye Tang pulled out of Li Mingchuan's arms without a trace, poured a glass of water to drink, and said, "Thank you for making this film festival come into being, but you don't have to bother to do this kind of thing for me in the future, you are already busy enough , there is no point in wasting time on these things.”

Li Mingchuan stepped forward, squeezed Ye Tang's face, "I am willing."

Ye Tang was dumbfounded, sighed lightly, and stopped making more theories.

After the media reporters left the venue one after another, Li Mingchuan and Ye Tang also took the elevator to the underground garage under the leadership of the staff, preparing to leave.

For the first time, Li Mingchuan didn't take his nanny's car, and insisted on sharing a car with Ye Tang, but before Ye Tang got in the car, he saw a familiar figure, it was Qin Yan.
