pure white crown

In early July, the mini-series "Under the Lake" filmed by Jiang Xing in the first half of the year was confirmed to be broadcast on prime time on British BBC.

It just so happened that in "Alien Crisis" that Jiang Xing participated in, his role was officially completed, and of course he participated in the whole process of the promotion of "Under the Lake" before its release.

In addition to the promotion of this work that formally brought Jiang Xing into the British entertainment industry, Jiang Xing also had interview invitations for several magazines and participated in a talk show as a guest.

Just as he gradually entered the eyes of British audiences in a planned way, the first episode of "Under the Lake" was also officially broadcast on TV.

Unlike the British audiences who appreciate the TV series, although Jiang Xing and other crew members also watch the TV series, they pay more attention to the ratings.

The two leading actors on the TV were negotiating with the landlord at this time, and the landlord was talking to the male protagonist excitedly, while the character played by Jiang Xing, because he was bored, stood obliquely behind the landlord, and followed the landlord from the beginning to the end. The tone is helpless, excited, and trying to explain... There is always a little exaggerated expression, and this scene falls into the male protagonist's sight.

The male protagonist has a face...you don't want to make trouble.

"Hahaha……"

"what!"

"Hahahahaha-"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The uninterrupted laughter coming from the mobile phone made Jiang Xing a little helpless.

Jiang Xing said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Didn't you watch my filming? This is not a comedy, what's so funny?"

"Actually, I think it's quite funny!" Lu Yunkai said, "I was eating potato chips while watching it, and I almost choked on the potato chips just now!"

"..." Jiang Xing.

"Actually, I also want to eat something good. The key is that no one cooks it." Lu Yunkai seemed to have guessed what Jiang Xing wanted to say, and he added.

"..." Jiang Xing sometimes had the urge to hang up the phone.

"By the way, what's the ratings now?" Lu Yunkai's thoughts jumped very fast, "Let me estimate, based on this situation, I guess it's [-] to [-] points?"

"2.13%." Jiang Xing looked at the real-time ratings refreshed on his phone.

"I guessed it!" Lu Yun said with a smile, "I watched the latest British TV series, and I think this should be in this range-this is not the end yet, do you want to bet on how far the ending will break through? I guess Four."

"I guess three." Jiang Xing responded, "What bet?"

"—Well, this is a good question, and I haven't thought it through yet." Lu Yunkai said.

The voice came into his ears, and Jiang Xing began to smile into the phone.

For the next hour, Lu Yunkai didn't even think about what kind of bet he was going to place, but the plot on TV was still playing meticulously.

With the ratings of 2.13% in the first half hour, the ratings fluctuated during the remaining hour, reaching as high as 4.98 in the middle, then falling back to [-], following every foreshadowing detail and Each plot interaction is played in turn, and at the final ending—that is, when two people come to the lake, the black shadow swims in the obscure lake water, and finally jumps out in an uproar, the final ratings have also reached this one. The highest peak in half an hour, [-]%, Lu Yunkai won.

Just when Jiang Xing was about to turn off the phone page, the value that had been stabilizing suddenly jumped slowly again.

Such fluctuations are insignificant compared to the previous ups and downs.

But it was just such a slight flick, the number at the end was fixed at 1, the previous digit became 0, and the first digit—slowly but firmly, jumped from four to become a new one. The number five!

5.01%!

Play the first episode to the final result at the end!

In a trance, there seemed to be shouts and salutes in his ears. Jiang Xing picked up the mobile phone that had been put aside, and was about to share the good news with Lu Yunkai, but found that the phone had quietly hung up at some point. To rewind the broadcast, the phone rang, and it was the director of the "Alien Crisis" crew.

Jiang Xing picked it up, he said: "Yes, yes, I have seen..."

"5.01%, thank you director, and congratulations to the director!..."

"Okay, there is no problem with the second season... I know it!"

The first call hangs up, followed by a second call from the lead actor, and then a call from the writer.

The most core characters in several crews called each other to congratulate each other one after another, and the laughter made one's villa lively because of this!

Jiang Xing didn't know how many times he said "Congratulations" and "No problem". When he finally hung up a series of calls from the crew, he had already walked to the back garden without knowing it.

The buck on the grass seemed a little surprised that he came out at this time, came up to sniff him, and rubbed his big head against his hand.

Jiang Xing called Lu Yunkai.

The call was connected almost immediately, and Lu Yun on the other end laughed and said, "Have you finished your congratulations?"

"It's over." The corners of Jiang Xing's lips were also raised.

"And my congratulations!" Lu Yunkai said.

"Thank you." Jiang Xing smiled.

"The film is very good, and you acted very well." Lu Yunkai said sincerely.

"...Hmm." The ending song of the TV series was over the phone at this time, meeting each other.The broadcasting time in North America is slightly different from that in the UK. Listening vaguely through the phone, it seems to give people the feeling of a double voice ensemble. He heard Lu Yunkai on the phone humming along with the ending music. Nursery rhyme "Under the cherry tree, by the black water lake, what did we see; under the cherry tree, by the black water lake, what did we bury—"

He laughed.

He complained: "There is no singing talent at all."

"You make it sound like you are very cute!" Lu Yunkai counterattacked.

In the dark blue night sky, the moon slipped and hid in the clouds.

The stars are more scattered, and the flames flow.

The impact of the super high ratings after the first episode of the TV series "Under the Lake" was broadcast is very intuitive.

Leaving aside the industry honors brought about by the super high ratings, the two actors in the crew became household names overnight.

It goes without saying that the leading actor, Ansi Eddie, has become a household name. Even Jiang Xing, when he just walked out of his house to report to the drama troupe—yes, he is still in the drama troupe—was Neighbors on the left and right recognized him, and they greeted him again with a little curiosity, and some people tried to ask him about his work on the set. Of course, these were usually children. They would be taken away by the adults in their family with apologies, so Jiang Xing was not delayed much.

But in the past six months in the UK, because he was not popular, Jiang Xing had long since lost the habit of hats and sunglasses for domestic travel, so he almost enjoyed the baptism of eyes and greetings all the way from the villa to the drama club. I finally regained the long-lost feeling of being a star.

Before arriving at the repertory troupe, he also called Andy Ace, his collaborator in "Under the Lake", needless to say, just listening to the noise on the other end of the phone, he smiled and said: "Fans? "

"Are you blocked too!" Andy Ace's voice came from the phone, and the tone was quite excited!

"It's not as exaggerated as you are. We have already reached our destination." Jiang Xing said with a smile, "Don't bother you to deal with the sweethearts?"

"Okay, okay." Andy Ace said, "Let's talk later!"

Jiang Xing has already stepped into the gate of the repertory theater troupe.

Huo Qiya, who made the decision to bring Jiang Xing to the UK, happened to be here. He turned his head and saw Jiang Xing, walked up with a smile and said, "It seems that I will compete with those filmmakers in the future... To be honest , if you didn’t come from movies and TV shows, I shouldn’t have let you go there.”

"It's all Mr. Hosea—" Jiang Xing hadn't finished speaking.

Hosea already interrupted him with a wave of his hand beyond doubt: "If you want to express your gratitude, then you first agree to act in the next play I plan to rehearse."

"...It seems that I can't refuse?" Jiang Xing asked.

Huozia stroked his mustache and smiled happily: "Yes, of course you can't refuse."

"What's the next play?"

"Come on, come here, I'll talk to you as we walk..."

They walked down the corridor together.

At the same time, Lu Yunkai, who was far away in the United States, received a call from Zhang Fang from China in the middle of the night.

He said "Hello" in a daze in his sleep, and then he heard the person on the other end of the phone say in a hurried tone of panic: "Brother Lu, uncle ran away from the house, and now I can't find him." !"

Lu Yunkai suddenly woke up from his sleep.

He sat up with the quilt in his arms, calmed down first, then turned on the desk lamp to let the light drive away part of the darkness, and then said to the other person on the phone in a calm voice: "What's going on, speak slowly. When will my dad missing?"

"Everything was normal yesterday. Although uncle's condition is not very good, uncle's condition has not been very good... I mean, when I left last night, uncle was still in the room. Talking about the social reports about being ruined by usury and hiding people's names, my uncle never expressed the intention of going out, but I saw it today, people have..."

"The person has disappeared." Lu Yunkai murmured, "Is there any trace of burglary or destruction?"

"No." Zhang Fang said affirmatively, "the locks are all good. I asked the doorman, checked the records, and found that my uncle got into the elevator by himself. I think..."

"He went to gamble again." Lu Yunkai calmly concluded.

He sat on the edge of the bed and calmed down for a while in the dim light.

Just when Zhang Fang on the other end of the phone was hesitating whether to take the initiative to ask, Lu Yunkai's voice sounded again: "You stay in China, I'll go back now."

"...Okay." Zhang Fang said, "but the United States?"

"It's fine, I don't have any film appointments with me recently, so I can go back to China." Lu Yunkai said.

It's still about the same time.

In a basement in a domestic city, on the concrete ceiling exposed by the dilapidated walls, incandescent lamps are hung in rows, and the wires behind the lamps are entangled and drooping like spider webs.

Directly below these lamps, crowds gathered around rough tables.

They yelled, shouted, cheered when they won, and lamented when they lost.

The dazzling light made a white circle appear in front of people's eyes.

Lu Guobing stood by one of the tables. After the dealer pressed the handle to make the dice jump in the glass cover, he pushed all the weights in his hands onto the surrounding dice with slightly trembling hands, and then watched the dealer roll the dice. .

The lid was lifted, and three dice lay quietly inside the glass case.

one……

one……

one……

The three identical numbers 1 are exactly the dice pressed by Lu Guobing!

One pays 150 times, Lu Guobing bet 150, and he has made [-] million in an instant!

wow——

The noise in the underground casino almost lifted the ceiling!

The incandescent light was even brighter.
