Entertainment Industry Acting Emperor

Even if Chen Ke received a call from them for cooperation with a big crew like "Cultivation of Truth", he would not dare to disclose the matter to the public. No one can guarantee that things will not change until the day the filming starts.

When Gong Xiqiao went to Director Wang to ask for leave, Director Wang was eating peanuts and drinking wine with a few elders in the crew. When he saw him come in, Director Wang invited him to have a drink together.

After drinking two cups with Director Wang, Gong Xiqiao mentioned to Director Wang that he would ask for leave tomorrow.

As the lead actor of the crew, Gong Xiqiao's attitude towards filming, no one can say with conscience that he is not professional, climb trees when asked to climb trees, wrestle when asked to wrestle, and even ask him to roll in the mud. This pampered rich second generation didn't even blink and hesitate.

So now he wants to ask for half a day off, and Director Wang even agrees.As a famous director in China, Director Wang naturally has channels to learn about gossip.He was clear about the fact that the production team of "Cultivation of Truth" had invited Gong Xiqiao to audition. Now that Gong Xiqiao suddenly asked him for leave without clearly explaining the reason, he just vaguely guessed something.

The young actor he is optimistic about has such a good opportunity, Director Wang must support it, but since there are other people present, he is inconvenient to say more, after thinking about it, he said tactfully: "Young people should seize the opportunity, It's good that you can hold your breath."

If Gong Xiqiao had announced that he was the leading actor of "Cultivation of Truth" early on, it would make people think he was impetuous.Director Wang is a picky person, and he agrees with Gongxiqiao's current way of handling things, so he can't help but ask a few more words.

"Thank you Director Wang, I know," Gong Xiqiao smiled, "It's getting late, so you should drink less, and be careful not to let Aunt Yao know about you."

"Don't talk nonsense, kid, she won't know," Director Wang slammed his hand holding the wine glass, and coughed a few times guiltily, "Don't talk nonsense when my family asks."

Gong Xiqiao saw Director Wang's strict control of his wife, smiled and got up to leave. The main personnel of the crew were sitting together for dinner, and there must be other things to discuss. He has been here all the time. too suitable.Although he is also an investor in this movie, since he said to delegate all power to Director Wang at the beginning, then he has to keep his word, so as not to get a reputation for going back on his word not long after entering this circle.

"Young Master Qiao..." After Gong Xiqiao left, the screenwriter gave a thumbs up, "I haven't seen such a young man who knows how to handle things for a long time." Now young artists in the circle come one after another, with many means , Unfortunately, the emotional intelligence is not enough, and the overall quality is not as good as those artists more than ten years ago.

"Students who can be publicly praised by Imperial University, can they be smart?" The field manager is with Director Wang all the year round, and he has gone through a lot of things. What is his usual hobby is that he likes to listen to gossip in his spare time. The team only got the role of the third male lead, how long has it been, and it has come to this point, if he doesn't have real skills, how dare Director Wang let him be the leading role?"

How much director Wang valued this script, his old buddies all know, he dared to use Gongxi Qiao, it must not be because of the tens of millions of investment.

"All of you are hundreds of years old, and you still have the time to pay attention to the gossip of the younger generation?" Director Wang picked up a peanut with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth, swallowed it chewing, and sipped the white wine He laughed and said, "I have a hunch that my play will become a classic that will be praised decades later because of him, and he will reach another peak because of this play."

When the old buddies heard this, they were a little bit tongue-tied. How could Old Wang value Gongxi Qiao so much? !

However, Lao Wang has indeed made a lot of celebrities popular over the years, and even Gu Nan, who is now popular all over the world, became popular because of his role in Lao Wang's play.But even Gu Nan, who is well-known abroad, couldn't get Lao Wang to praise him so much. Is Gongxi Qiao so special?

They didn't believe that Gongxi Qiao could be better than Gu Nan.

This was the first time for Gongxiqiao to step into the Xi's headquarters building. Looking at the business elites around him, Gongxiqiao pushed the brown sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, followed Chen Ke into the elevator with two assistants.

In addition to the four of them, there were several employees of Xi's in the elevator. Someone recognized Gong Xiqiao. Although his expression was a little excited, he didn't abruptly come forward to ask for a group photo or autograph.

The elevator stopped on the sixth floor. After the staff watched Gong Xiqiao and his party walk out, a female staff member excitedly said, "Young Master Qiao is so handsome. I am even more handsome than on TV."

"That's right, the skin on his face is really good, without any blemishes," another female staff enviously said, "Didn't it mean that artists have to put on makeup every day, so the skin quality is very bad, why is his skin so good? "

"Because he is my male god," the female staff member who spoke first patted her slightly flushed cheeks, "After my close observation, the male god's face is pure natural and unprocessed." Speaking of this, She couldn't help but smile and hold her face together, "The male god is so perfect, why don't I love him?"

"Tch, it's as if you love him, so he can look at you more."

Gong Xiqiao didn't know that there were two female employees in the elevator who were handsome by him. As soon as they got out of the elevator, people from the film crew came to receive them, because the attitude of the other party was so friendly that Chen, who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, was so friendly. Ke Du suspected that all the bullying he encountered before was due to his bad luck.

"Everyone, please go this way," the female secretary led them to the door of the office, smiled politely at them, and left.

The door of the office was opened, and Gong Xiqiao saw two people sitting inside, one of whom he knew was the assistant surnamed Gou next to Xi Qing.

Special Assistant Gou was talking to the person in charge of "Cultivation of Truth", when he heard the movement at the door, he turned around and saw that it was Gong Xiqiao, and he put on a smile on his business-like face, "Young Master Qiao?"

"Tezhu Gou," Gong Xiqiao took off his sunglasses and smiled at Tezhu Gou, "I'm sorry to interrupt your work."

"It's not an important matter, let alone it's over," Gou Tezhu looked at Gong Xiqiao, and then looked back at the person in charge, "Are you the male lead who is going to sign a contract today?"

Seeing Gou Tezhu's somewhat surprised expression, Gongxi Qiao nodded, "Thanks to your crew for valuing me."

Seeing Tezhu Gou's polite attitude when facing Gongxi Qiao, the person in charge felt confident, so he smiled and said, "Young Master Qiao, you are being polite. It is our honor that you are willing to cooperate with us."

Gou Tezhu really didn't expect that the crew had already selected Gongxi Qiao as the male lead before he had time to intervene. He took the contract that was about to be signed with Gongxi Qiao from the person in charge and read it roughly. The contract is also very fair and just. As for the remuneration, he doesn't know Gongxi Qiao's current worth, so he doesn't know if it is suitable or not, so he didn't comment on it.

Putting down the contract in his hand, Assistant Gott smiled and said: "The boss must be very happy to know that you are here. I still have some things to do, so I won't disturb your business. Let's take a step first." Say.

"Gou Tezhu, go slowly," the person in charge sent Gou Tezhu away, and smiled at Gong Xiqiao, "Young Master Qiao, Mr. Chen, and two young people, please sit down."

"Thank you, Manager Zhou." After Gong Xiqiao and the others sat down, the secretary who had brought them here brought in tea, put it in front of them, and then left silently.

Manager Zhou smiled. Although he also bears the title of a manager, he is actually just a middle-level manager in Xi's headquarters. In front of Special Assistant Gou, he dare not say a serious word.Taking back the contract that Assistant Gout had seen on the table, Manager Zhou took out another contract from the drawer and handed it to Gong Xiqiao with both hands.

Gong Xiqiao took it with both hands, thanked him and handed it to Chen Ke, and then began to chat politely with Manager Zhou.

Originally, Manager Zhou, who was worried that Gongxiqiao would not be easy to get in touch with, the more he talked with Gongxiqiao, the more relaxed he became, and the better his impression of Gongxiqiao was.

Anyone who faces a personable, polite and knowledgeable young man can't help but feel good about him.Manager Zhou who originally changed Contract B to Contract A to save the face of the big boss, now feels that only Contract A is considered to be burying Gong Xiqiao.

There are always such people in the world who can easily turn a person's defensiveness into kindness, pickiness into satisfaction, and politeness into goodwill.

When Chen Ke looked up after reading the contract, he found that Manager Zhou sitting across from him was already talking and laughing happily with Gong Xiqiao, and he could feel the intimacy and affection in the words so straightforwardly.

Facing this scene, Chen Ke twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "Manager Zhou, the contract you drew up is very reasonable, and we have no objections." This is not reasonable, it is simply generous.The remuneration price is based on the price of the first-line big names, which is far higher than Gong Xiqiao's current net worth.

"Since Mr. Chen has no objection, what does Xiao Qiao have to say?" Manager Zhou looked at Gongxi Qiao with a smile.

Chen Ke's hands holding the contract trembled. How long did it take to evolve from Qiao Shao to Xiao Qiao?

"Uncle Zhou is a kind person. Brother Chen said it's okay. It must be okay." Gongxi Qiao took the contract and signed his name in duplicate. After signing, Gongxi Qiao handed it back to Zhou. One for the manager, he reached out and shook Manager Zhou's hand, "Uncle Zhou, please."

Chen Ke silently wiped his face. It turns out that they have also evolved from Manager Zhou to Uncle Zhou?

"Haha, Xiao Qiao, you are being polite when you say that," Manager Zhou said after shaking hands with Gongxi Qiao, "I will be the producer of this film after the filming starts. If Xiao Qiao has any problems then, just tell me I'll do."

"Then I won't be polite," Gongxi Qiao smiled, showing a few white teeth, looking like a good teenager next door.

During the meeting, Xi Qing looked at his watch twice in a row. As soon as the meeting ended, he was the first to leave the meeting room. This positive attitude stunned the participants. What urgent matter does the boss have to deal with?

Everyone looked at Gou Tezhu in bewilderment. Seeing the inscrutable look on his face, they suppressed the curiosity in their hearts. Curiosity killed the cat. Even if the boss was in a hurry to see his sweetheart, they couldn't care less.

After Gong Xiqiao was sent out of the office by Manager Zhou, he saw Xi Qing standing a few steps away. He turned his head and nodded to Manager Zhou, then walked quickly towards Xi Qing.

Manager Zhou stood at the door, staring at the big boss dumbfounded, secretly amazed in his heart, it seems that the big boss and Xiao Qiao are really close friends, otherwise why would they come to wait for him?

"Why are you here?" Gong Xiqiao walked side by side beside Xi Qing, and looked at the time, it was still half an hour before the off-duty time.

"I heard from the assistant that you came to sign the contract today, so I'll take a look." Xi Qing pressed the down button on the elevator, looked back at Chen Ke and the other three who were silent, "If you're not busy returning to the set this afternoon, you and I I'll have lunch and go back."

"Okay," the elevator door opened, Gong Xiqiao walked into the elevator, and said to Xi Qing who came in one step behind him, "I heard that there is a very good restaurant nearby, and I wanted to find a day to go with you Go try it, since we all have time today, let's go now."

Xi Qing nodded and stood together with Gong Xiqiao.

Chen Ke, who reached the end, pressed the floor and stood a little further away from the two assistants.Although he didn't know why, but he intuitively told him that Xi Qing probably didn't like the character of strangers getting too close to him.

A second before stepping out of the elevator, Gong Xiqiao put on his brown sunglasses again, and then smiled at Xi Qing: "Do you think I look like a boss wearing glasses?"

Chen Ke: Hehe, you are only 1.8 meters tall, how tall are you?

It's a pity that just as he finished hehe in his heart, Xi Qing nodded.Turning his head silently, Chen Ke felt that he could not understand the eyes of the rich.

When they finally got into the car, Chen Ke watched Gong Xiqiao get into Xi Qing's car, and he, He Peng, and Xiao Yao got into the car arranged by the company.

"Brother Chen, do you feel... that we are redundant?" In the quiet carriage, Xiao Yao bravely said the truth.

Chen Ke looked at her numbly: "So?"

"How about we stop eating?" Xiao Yao shrank her neck, "Seeing Mr. Xi, I don't dare to eat properly at all. I will definitely need digestive medicine when I go back."

Chen Ke wiped his face and didn't want to speak again, as if he could eat well.

Five people, a table full of dishes, the dishes are very rich, but three people can't eat.Xiaoyao looked at Gong Xiqiao, who had a good appetite and was chatting leisurely with Xi Qing, and she felt admiration in her heart. As expected of Mr. Qiao, she would never be stage fright in front of anyone, even if it was Mr. Xi , can be so comfortable.

"Are you the chosen male lead in "Cultivation of Truth"?" Xi Qing picked up a chopstick and ate a dish that Xi Qiao thought was delicious, "I heard two days ago that the screenwriter of this drama decided to choose a male lead. I patted the table with the crew, but I didn't expect you to be the one she's looking at."

"Is there such a thing?" Gongxi Qiao opened her eyes wide with interest, "No wonder the male lead was decided so quickly."

Xi Qing smiled, and used her serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of pork ribs in honey sauce that Gong Xiqiao liked and put them on his plate.

Smiling, Gongxi Qiao picked up the ribs, and finished eating with relish, "Fortunately, the screenwriter won, otherwise I might not be able to be the male lead of this drama."

The corner of Xi Qing's mouth twitched, but she didn't speak.

If Gongxi Qiao really likes this drama, no matter who in the crew likes it or hates it, he will be the hero in the end.

It's a pity that Xi Qing couldn't say these words, and always felt that saying these words would insult Gong Xiqiao's ability.

"But with you as the number one fan, I'm still more competitive than everyone else," Gongxi Qiao smiled so much that his eyes curled up, showing a hint of complacency, "If I lose the competition, I can still find you as a backer , Help my leading actor grab it."

"It's a pity that you are too good, and my backer is useless." Xi Qing also sandwiched the last piece of honey sauce ribs to Gong Xiqiao.

With his chopsticks in the air, Chen Ke turned his hand abruptly, and picked up a dish he didn't like into the bowl with his chopsticks.

In the eyes of this uncle Xi, there are probably only two people on this table, that is, himself and Xiao Qiao. As for the three of them, it is equal to or not.

Fortunately, this Master Xi was very polite, and he didn't show any look of looking down on them. On the contrary, when he was ordering food just now, he asked them for their opinions in a very gracious manner.

But even though the other party was full of demeanor, he could still feel that for Xi Qing, the only one who really needed attention was Gong Xiqiao.

Having seen too many complicated things in the circle, Chen Ke couldn't allow Chen Ke not to think too much, but seeing the natural appearance of the two getting along, Chen Ke felt that he was thinking too much.

Most importantly, Xiao Qiao is not someone who is easy to suffer.So with this realization, Chen Ke gained a lot of confidence.
