pure white crown

Of course, the secret conversation between He Junya and his manager in the car could not reach Jiang Xing's ears directly.

But as long as someone does something, there will definitely be clues.

After the news that "Jiang Xing and He Junya may compete to star in an American blockbuster" spread on the Internet, Chen Liang, who has been following Jiang Xing's news from all aspects of the Internet and reality, immediately discovered it.

At this time, it was only the first step of He Junya and his group to "put the news on the Internet to provoke a war between the fans of both sides", and all the subsequent methods have not been used yet.But who is Chen Liang?He has been in this circle for so long, and he has brought out one artist after another who can be named. To put it bluntly, he doesn't like to see or use many techniques in the circle.

In the final analysis, everyone's goals are the same: either to praise someone or discredit someone, and from the ultimate goal to deduce the thoughts and methods of the people behind the scenes, many methods that were originally unclear have also been seen. The context of things is also clear.

Now, as soon as Chen Liang saw the news, he thought about He Junya's purpose, and immediately reversed the method the other party wanted to use. It was almost the same as using public opinion to praise and kill Jiang Xing, or to use both methods to do American work. To tell you the truth, I can't even arouse the urge to go up and fight with him!

Chen Liang didn't care much.He cared more about Jiang Xing's thoughts.Now that the two of them are together, he asked Jiang Xing: "What do you think, do you want to take this job?" He then told Jiang Xing about He Junya's posting on the Internet about the off-the-job means to win the role, " Give me an attitude, if you want to pick it up, we’ll have fun with him; if you don’t pick it up, we won’t play with him, because he doesn’t have time to talk to him anyway.”

Jiang Xing was sitting on the couch at this time.

His two hands folded on his lower abdomen, and his feet stretched out very soothingly.He shook his head when he heard Chen Liang's words: "I just told the American director in the morning that I would think about it for a few days, and you came to ask me what I think in the afternoon?"

"It's not me urging you, someone else is urging you." Chen Liang pouted at the computer while speaking.

"Leave him alone for now." Jiang Xing frowned slightly, "I really need to think about this matter... You said that if I don't accept this play, can I find another crew abroad and accept a serious supporting role?"

"It's hard." This is a serious matter, Chen Liang said frankly, "You're going to take on a movie abroad, and you can't just get in with any third-rate crew. You have to at least get into the kind of director with a reputation, a script with depth, and Hope to hit the awards, or go to a crew with big investment? But these crews are abroad, and there are too many local stars fighting for it. Under the same conditions, you will definitely lose if you look good, unless The script has a special requirement to use Orientals."

"Besides, even if the role has special requirements, those artists who have already played abroad have long been vying for it. Maybe even before the news is actually released, the role has already been booked—"

When Chen Liang said this, his face was a little serious: "You are in China, and now you can get the top price; but if you want to go abroad, the way to play is very narrow, and it is very likely to start from scratch. So, today's..."

"You want to say that the 3-minute supporting role of today's world-renowned crew is already pretty good, right?" Jiang Xing continued.

"In fact, it is." Chen Liang said.

Jiang Xing remained silent for a long time.

A few minutes later, he let out a long breath and said, "I'd better think about it..."

Chen Liang stopped chasing Jiang Xing for an answer.His attitude has been relatively clear in the conversation just now. He thinks that Jiang Xing will do better next time, but if Jiang Xing has his own considerations and is unwilling to start his foreign career with such passer-by cannon fodder, he can also do it. understand.

After all, truly ambitious actors have to have such concerns: the length of the role is not the decisive factor, but whether the role is important in the movie and whether it can promote the plot is the intuitive judgment of many award judges on the impression of an actor up.

Once you play such a dispensable 3-minute cannon fodder role, these judges will inevitably feel disgusted with the actor, which will also affect the final ownership of the award.

"Foreign, foreign, foreign..."

"Connections, connections, connections..."

On the way away from Jiang Xing's home, Chen Liang kept chanting these two words. He was Jiang Xing's manager, and Jiang Xing wanted to develop abroad, so he was more troubled than Jiang Xing about how to start his journey abroad.

I am used to the intertwined relationship of the inherent land, and then go to a new place where my eyes are smeared, and I begin to eagerly hope to get some information or industry news, at least to know where there is an opportunity, right?

It's a pity that they don't have a big company behind them, otherwise they can find a way out more or less, just like Lu Yunkai...

Lu Yunkai?

Chen Liang was startled suddenly.

He slammed on the brakes while he was still on the road!Regardless of the other cars behind him who were startled by him, he turned on the turn signal and quickly parked the car on the side of the road to turn off the engine, and then thought carefully about the thought that just popped into his mind: Lu Yunkai went abroad as soon as he became an international movie star. Immediately play a serious supporting role when going abroad; after playing a supporting role, immediately play a second supporting role, even if there are many stars in it, as long as Lu Yunkai is not an idiot, he will definitely have something to do with it!

And Jiang Xing was once so close to Lu Yunkai that they had an ambiguous relationship!

So they—is it possible to get some foreign connections from Lu Yunkai?

Before considering the possibility of this problem, Chen Liang felt that there was still a very important problem to be clarified.So he picked up the phone and dialed Jiang Xing's number, and when the call got through, he immediately asked, "Why did you and Lu Yunkai separate?"

Jiang Xing: "..."

He was silent for a few seconds, and calmly corrected Chen Liang's wrong statement: "We are not together yet."

This time is just the time for the sunset.

The floor Jiang Xing is on is the 21st floor. He just lay on the sofa for a long time and still hasn't made up his mind. When Chen Liang called, he was wandering around the room. He didn't expect to hear such a loud voice just after answering the phone. The problem.

"I was wrong." Chen Liang was also very calm, and then he asked directly, "Then why are you not together?"

Jiang Xing thought to himself what should I say about this...

Then he found that there was nothing to say about it, so let's tell the truth!

He said: "It was Yunkai who had some physical and mental problems. He thought it would be better for the two of us to separate, and then we separated."

What Chen Liang cared about was not the emotional entanglement between Jiang Xing and Lu Yunkai before, but what he cared about was the relationship between the two now.So he asked: "In other words, Lu Yunkai still feels pretty good to you now? Have you kept in touch?"

"We have always been friends." Jiang Xing responded to the other party.

"Then," he said his ultimate goal, "see if it is possible to find some contacts and opportunities abroad with Lu Yunkai?"

Jiang Xing was stunned for a moment!

××××××

Zhang Fang has been really battered recently.

After Lu Yunkai finished his second play abroad, that is, in April and May of this year, he stopped all activities in his acting career. Now it is October of the same year. This is not a month or two months, it is almost Six months of events, a full half of a year.

Such a long suspension of performing arts activities, even if Lu Yunkai himself doesn't care, the stars behind Lu Yunkai can't sit still!

Lu Yunkai can now be regarded as one of the pillars and representatives of the stars. Speaking of the first image of the stars outside, it will not be how many stars are there. How many artists do they have in China? Extraordinary status.

They will only mention Lu Yunkai, the star-studded star who has won a foreign actor, gained a firm foothold abroad and has shifted his career focus.

For example, if you mention "Lu Yunkai plays an important role in XX of a well-known XX director abroad, this role is not a martial arts role", does it suddenly feel that the social status is different, and you have more face?It can be said that Lu Yunkai is now a living sign of Zhongxing and one of the representatives of Zhongxing's industry leaders.

Outsiders all know that Lu Yunkai is the representative of the stars, and the stars are Lu Yunkai's backstage background.But that's really just an outsider's opinion.

The relationship between Zhongxing and Lu Yunkai is definitely not as unbreakable as outsiders feel and estimate.

There used to be a big conflict among them: in the case of Xue Ying at the beginning of this year, Lu Yunkai severely humiliated the stars, forcing the stars to admit that the company's managers did have the tendency to persecute actresses during company activities. The situation created a rift between the two parties that could not be ignored.

After this incident, not one of the high-level executives of the stars began to be dissatisfied with Lu Yunkai's arrogance, and this dissatisfaction gradually reached its peak when Lu Yunkai suspended all performing arts activities after April this year.

But Lu Yunkai's character is just like that, he made up his mind, not to mention the stars, his own father would not be able to dispel his idea.

So no matter how good the conditions were offered by the stars, and how good the script was found, Lu Yunkai only said "no acting".

At this time, don't mention the fire of the stars!

You must know that the contract signed by Lu Yunkai and the stars is not for a lifetime. The contract they signed at the beginning was only for a short period of five years. Later, due to the change of the contract, it was extended for another year, but it is Lu Yunkai who made his debut now. Fifth year?Even if it is extended for another year, it will only be the first half of next year. After deducting [-], he must rest, and the rest of Lu Yunkai does not know whether he can work in Zhongxing or not for half a year.

If Lu Yunkai is willing to sign a contract with the stars in the future, the stars will bear with these things. After all, doing business needs to be more generous and look at the problem from a long-term perspective.

But is Lu Yunkai willing to sign with the stars after the contract expires?

The stars have experienced the Xue Ying incident, and know that Lu Yunkai is a difficult high-level executive, but they have no bottom at all!

As a last resort, they turned their attention to Zhang Fang.

So Zhang Fang's life in dire straits came...

Zhang Fang now only has two things to do every day: [-]. Go to Zhongxingting to listen to the high-level executives who have never seen him before and ask him to deal with Lu Yunkai, otherwise he will not have to hang out in the entertainment industry in the future; , Back to Lu Yunkai's side, and earnestly persuaded the artist who seemed to be getting more and more mentally ill to start working hard!A young man who doesn't work hard and an old man is sad!

Lu Yun's meeting was influenced by Zhang Fang, so it was not Lu Yun who opened the meeting.

So no matter what Zhang Fang said before, Lu Yunkai didn't even raise his eyelids. He continued to sleep at eleven o'clock in the evening and got up at seven o'clock in the morning. He spent three hours a day exercising, three hours watching movies, and three hours learning new knowledge. An exceptionally healthy and regular life of seeing a psychiatrist every hour.

To be honest, Zhang Fang was a little bit desperate at first. He felt that Lu Yunkai's appearance was a rhythm of quitting the showbiz. He didn't expect to participate in a film festival. When he was still at the film festival, he let go and said that he would shoot a commercial. !

As soon as he got the news, he immediately rushed to Zhongxing in person to tell the high-level officials of Zhongxing the good news. By the way, he implicitly and tactfully showed his ability to deal with Lu Yunkai, so as to dissuade Zhongxing from wanting to change Lu Yunkai's agent again. people's thoughts.

The top executives of Zhongxing were of course happy about Zhang Fang’s news, but they were more reserved. Then they made another request—the contract between Zhongxing and Lu Yunkai was coming soon. Should Lu Yunkai start negotiating with Zhongxing on the new contract? Negotiated?

Zhang Fang felt like he had been splashed with cold water.Of course he knew the answer to this question, and it was something he had been avoiding all the time. Now that the stars directly raised it, he felt a little unavoidable, but his eyes flickered twice, and said: "I see, I I will mention it to Brother Lu when I go back, Brother Lu also mentioned this topic to me some time ago..."

The high-level executives of Zhongxing didn't say anything, so they nodded and asked Zhang Fang to bring the words to him.

Afterwards, after Zhang Fang left, a high-level manager in charge of broker management sneered: "As soon as his butt poked out, I knew what kind of shit he was pulling! Humph, I'm looking at who is blind! Lu Yunkai must have said to him However, we did not renew the contract with the stars, but he dragged us with words."

"It should." The tone of the person next to him was calm, "We can do things for whichever side our heart is partial to. We don't have to get angry with a follower. The focus is still on Lu Yunkai."

The high-level person who spoke at the beginning sneered a few more times, and then said: "Lu Yunkai, if you want to serve, you can serve, anyway, I won't do it."

Although this is an angry statement, it is actually a very common idea among many high-level officials.

Although Lu Yunkai is strong, but no matter how strong he is, he has no sense of belonging to the stars and is unwilling to be the signboard of the stars, so what do the stars want him to do?dont you agree?In particular, Lu Yunkai had offended a lot of high-level executives of the stars before, and it was also because Lu Yunkai's status was really high. Otherwise, at that time, the high-level executives of the stars would directly destroy Lu Yunkai.

There are several people in a conference room, but what they say doesn't matter, it still depends on what the chairman means.

The chubby chairman sat in his seat, thought for a while, and said, "Well, if Lu Yunkai doesn't intend to renew the contract with us, we can't force others..."

This is what you've been waiting for!

A lot of high-level executives at the bottom showed some joy for a while, and the one at the beginning said quickly, "We want to separate from Lu Yunkai, and we must first stink Lu Yunkai, otherwise his fans will not be able to deal with it."

"You write a plan, and if there is no problem after reviewing it according to the procedure, you can deal with it yourself." The chairman said, waved his hand, and left without participating in the next discussion.

But after leaving the conference room, the assistant next to him walked up quickly and whispered a few words in the chairman's ear.

A harmless smile appeared on the chubby chairman's face...

××××××

As soon as Zhang Fang came out from the stars, he rushed directly to Lu Yunkai's house. Without talking nonsense, he told Lu Yunkai about the renewal of the contract with the stars!

Compared with Zhang Fang's attention, Lu Yunkai's attitude is much more casual: "I didn't intend to renew the contract with the stars, there is no need for you to hide it, just tell me what you mean."

Zhang Fang is so tired, he simply doesn't know how to educate his artists...

So he didn't waste that time anymore, he said: "I guess Zhongxing can hide it for another month at most. After one month, Zhongxing must know what we mean, and I'm afraid there will be a tough battle to fight by then!"

"Oh." Lu Yunkai responded plainly.

Zhang Fang thought about it again: "Brother Lu, do you have any ideas for the personal studio? What's the name? In fact, it is a better choice to be affiliated with a more powerful company other than Zhongxing, but Brother Lu guesses that you don't like it, so we have to fight alone..."

"Oh." Lu Yunkai still didn't care.

Zhang Fang finally came out of his imagination.He watched Lu Yunkai for a while, and suddenly said something like this: "Speaking of which, Brother Jiang also came out to set up a studio by himself!"

Lu Yunkai's eyes fell on Zhang Fang's face.

After a while, he: "...Oh."
