He really doesn't want to be popular with Pixiu [Entertainment Circle]

Ling Xiu glanced around, and finally stopped at the main table next to him.

At this time, Zheng Bosong was having a drink with several high-level executives, and the bosses seemed to be in a good mood, all of them glowing red.

"Sister." Ling Xiu put his head close to Shen Jianshu's ear, "Why didn't you see Mr. Gu today?"

Gu Weizhong is the vice president of Nebula Entertainment, so it's really puzzling that he wasn't there on such an important occasion.

"I heard that Mr. Gu seems to be on a business trip to Binhai. Let's talk about some business cooperation projects." Shen Jianshu tidied his hair and clothes, picked up the cup, "I'll toast Mr. Zheng and the others, and have a chat. go."

"Understood." Ling Xiu obediently agreed, "Sister, I'll go after you big managers finish greeting the boss."

When Shen Jianshu left the table, Chang Xiaosong quickly moved to sit beside Ling Xiu.

"It's so mysterious, is there anything to report?"

Ling Xiu took a sip of the red wine and looked at Chang Xiaosong playfully.

"Of course there is a situation." Chang Xiaosong glanced at the next table, then pulled the chair towards Ling Xiu, and lowered his voice, "Brother, did you just ask Sister Shu why Gu Weizhong didn't come?"

Ling Xiu was surprised, "When did your ears become so sensitive?"

"It's not that your ears are sensitive, it's that you know you too well." Chang Xiaosong laughed wickedly, "I can guess what you're talking about just by your movements and expressions."

"Look at how frightened you are." Ling Xiu picked up a shrimp, and peeled the shell gracefully and quickly, "Why, do you know some inside stories that Sister Shu doesn't?"

Chang Xiaosong winked and rubbed his chin, "It's not an inside story, it can only be called gossip."

"About Gu Weizhong?" Ling Xiu didn't stop what he was doing.

"Of course!" Chang Xiaosong realized that his voice was a little higher, and quickly lowered it, "Otherwise, who else would be there?"

This time Ling Xiu became interested. He put the peeled shrimps on the plate, wiped his hands with a paper towel, and made an expression of listening carefully.

Chang Xiaosong was very satisfied with his brother's performance and lowered his voice.

"It is said that the project in Binhai City is not that urgent at all, and Gu Weizhong has time to go after participating in the celebration."

Ling Xiu nodded, motioning for Chang Xiaosong to continue.

"Gu Weizhong is on a business trip at this time, but he just doesn't want to participate in this large-scale event of the company. I think it's a clear statement not to give Zheng Zong face."

"They have conflicts? I remember Gu Weizhong was invited by Mr. Zheng himself."

"Gu Weizhong is capable, but his actions are a bit aggressive and courageous. Someone broke the news that he and Zheng Bosong had some conflicts in the company's operations."

Ling Xiu understood.

Although Zheng Bosong is a self-made entrepreneur, he works steadily and steadily, and is not eager for quick success.

If Gu Weizhong is a radical, he may indeed have conflicts with Mr. Zheng.

"No wonder I heard that the film and television department has launched several major TV drama projects, and they all want to go to s+..." Ling Xiu frowned, "I was still wondering, our company has just started producing film and television dramas, why are we in such a hurry to start big projects? .”

"You got the point." Chang Xiaosong raised his glasses, "It seems that this is the core of the conflict between the two of them. Mr. Zheng meant to start with ordinary A-level online dramas first, but Gu Weizhong disagreed. He If you want to make an S+ popular puppet, please stream the hero and heroine, and make a few more. I heard that the two had a quarrel when they disagreed."

Ling Xiu looked shocked, "You even know such details?"

Chang Xiaosong chuckled, "When I was going to the toilet at the company that day, I heard two colleagues from the film and television department talk about it."

Ling Xiu: ...

Sure enough, the company toilet is always the fastest source of gossip.

"Then what happened in the end?" Ling Xiu was very curious, "How many S+ projects did the film and television department finally approve?"

Chang Xiaosong raised a finger, "This is the result of a compromise between the two big bosses. It seems that this project has a male and female lead, and we will start attracting investment soon."

Ling Xiuxiu wanted to reply, but Shen Jianshu came back after toasting.

This is the end of this little gossip about the company's top management.

……

In March of Yangchun, Ling Xiushi entered the filming group.

The film is tentatively titled "Blood on the Yellow Sand". It is adapted from a popular adventure novel. The famous director Wei Quan is in charge of it. The author of the original novel acts as the screenwriter.

Judging from the fan base of the original book and the level of the director and producer, as long as the filming of this movie is done seriously, the box office will definitely not be low.

It can be said that this is a very good movie "big pie".

Especially the character of the male lead is very good. Any young actor who can play it will be a great thing to attract fans and improve the box office performance.

Therefore, before the show decided on Ling Xiu as the male lead, the discussion of this "big cake" was already quite high. Many fans of the actor hoped that their idols could eat this sweet "big cake".

Even because of the urgency of wanting to eat big cakes, some fans had frictions, and once it was even a hot search.

The people who eat melons are full of interest, crazily wanting to know who will end up with such a good thing.

As soon as Ling Xiu signed the contract, the marketing account broke the news that "Blood in the Yellow Sand" has already appointed a first-line popular actor.

This melon immediately triggered a wide range of discussions.

The people who eat melons and fans of various families joined the battle, guessing who the hero is.

What's more amazing is that there are many guesses, but very few people guess Ling Xiu.

The reason is that they feel that Ling Xiu prefers in-depth movies and should not be interested in commercial blockbusters.

Originally, the discussion about the choice of the male lead was just for fun, but the fans who had wanted to chat about some popular candidates started pinching again.

This time the movie is more reliable, and they don't want to use this method to gain popularity, so they soon officially announced the lineup of "Blood in the Yellow Sand".

When netizens saw that the male lead was Ling Xiu, all the quarrels stopped in an instant.

——Without him, if Ling Xiu wants to play this role, other actors really can't compare.

Firstly, Ling Xiu's acting skills and appearance had no problem acting as the male lead of a commercial film;

The second is that Ling Xiu had already cooperated with Wei Quan before, and it was a matter of course to cooperate again. The film industry is a place that pays attention to connections.

Seeing that the big cake had already fallen into Ling Xiu's hands, the other fans could only speak sourly and eccentrically on the Internet, and the farce quickly came to an end.

……

Making a commercial blockbuster is different from ordinary drama and suspense films. It requires a lot of action scenes and special effects, and the shooting time is longer.

——According to the preliminary estimate of the crew, it will take at least three months.

This is Ling Xiu's first commercial action film. He attaches great importance to it, and he devoted himself to intense shooting as soon as he joined the crew.

There are a lot of action scenes in the film, many of which are dangerous. Ling Xiu volunteered to take part in the battle himself, no stunt performers, let alone a stand-in.

The producer was a little worried at the beginning, afraid that Ling Xiu would be injured when doing some stunts such as car chases, and wanted to persuade him to leave professional things to professional people.

But Wei Quan knew Ling Xiu well and knew that he was very stubborn in this regard.

So he persuaded the producer to relax, as long as he is well protected, Ling Xiu is fully capable of doing all the stunts.

The producer reluctantly agreed, saying that he would wait and see.

In order to reassure the producer, Ling Xiu made an exception and used [-]% of his skills during the filming process. Whether it was a wire show or a car chase, he was clean and beautiful, and even professionals praised him.

The producer finally felt relieved and let Ling Xiu play freely.

Originally, Ling Xiu thought that making commercial films would be boring, but after joining the group for so many days, he felt an extraordinary satisfaction.

——It turns out that it takes skill to make a commercial film well. Not only does the plot have to be full, but those action scenes that hit the flesh need more strength.

Fortunately, Wei Quan directed well, Ling Xiu took the film seriously, and all departments of the production team cooperated tacitly.

Filming progressed much faster than expected.

Just when Ling Xiu entered the group for more than a month,

He has received very good news.

More than a dozen foreign TV stations have bought the copyright of "Whirlwind Washi", and this excellent domestic suspense drama will be available in prime time abroad.

Prior to this, there were many domestic dramas whose copyrights were bought by foreign TV stations, but this is the first time that so many countries and regions have purchased a domestic drama series.

Ling Xiu made another piece of history.

Soon this matter rushed to the hot search, and most netizens said that this did not surprise them at all.

Ling Xiu is different from ordinary entertainers, he is the real Ziwei star descending to earth.

There are also a small number of people who disagree with the words "real Ziwei star".

Their reason is that the curse of "Golden Monkey Award Newcomer" has not been completely lifted, unless the movie in which Ling Xiu plays the leading actor can get good results.

Ling Xiucai doesn't care about the "curse" or not, the fact that the TV series he starred in can go abroad is already enough to make him happy.

As Ling Xiu's good buddy and executive manager, Chang Xiaosong was naturally ecstatic.

In order to celebrate, he made an exception and allowed Ling Xiu to go to the restaurant to have a meal of red oil hot pot.

Ling Xiu ordered a table full of dishes, and ordered his favorite milk tea.

"Brother, congratulations." Chang Xiaosong raised his glass, "Every effort you have made has not been in vain."

"Thank you." Ling Xiu clinked glasses with him with milk tea, "Thanks to you and Sister Shu for helping me."

"You're too modest." Chang Xiaosong laughed, "To be honest, you would be popular in any company, and your strength is so strong."

Ling Xiu laughed out loud.

"Brother, your road to TV dramas seems to be very successful now." Chang Xiaosong was full of emotion, "So many people hoped that you would fall, but you succeeded, and you even threw away those shady things in the dark. Far away. You know, you have only debuted for such a short time... If your movie "Life is Like a Flower" can get good results, your status will definitely be stable, and you will belong to the top of the entertainment industry."

Speaking of this, Ling Xiu put down his chopsticks.

"Director Yan Wangchao called me yesterday and said that "Life Is Like a Flower" should be released during the summer vacation."

Chang Xiaosong's face changed slightly, "There are a lot of commercial blockbusters in the summer vacation... "Life is Like a Flower" is a feature film, are you sure it will be in the summer vacation?"
