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

Ling Xiu was very surprised.

"Director Yan, has the book been written so soon?"

He knows that the creation of a movie script is not an easy task. Some screenwriters may overturn the outline more than a dozen times.

Revise and rewrite.

Ling Xiu once watched an interview with a well-known director on a TV program, and he revealed that the screenwriter spent a year grinding out his award-winning movie script.

Yan Wangchao responded quickly.

"It's not too fast. From the outline to the sixth draft, it's been almost five months."

Ling Xiu was shocked.

"Director Yan, you are so efficient and powerful."

Yan Wangchao's film is self-written and directed, and the script was completed in five months. Isn't that considered super fast?

Thinking that he hadn't answered the other party's initial question, Ling Xiu hurriedly typed again.

"Director Yan, I'm really looking forward to being your leading actor. Facial expression／Cheers／"

Yan Wangchao may be excited, and felt that typing and chatting would affect his performance, so he directly made a video call.

Ling Xiu returned to the bedroom and clicked the "connect" button.

"Good evening, Teacher Ling."

As soon as the video was connected, Yan Wangchao's excited voice came.

"Director Yan, good evening."

Ling Xiu put the mobile phone on the stand of the desk, and sat down on the chair.

Yan Wangchao seemed to be sitting on the sofa in the living room, and there was an artistic painting hanging on the wall.

"Ms. Ling, I actually sent you a message just after I finished changing the last scene of the script." His cheeks were flushed and his eyes were bright. "I wanted to share this good news with you as soon as possible. But I really didn't expect it." , you agreed to be my hero without asking anything."

Ling Xiu could completely feel the joy from the other party's heart, which made him excited involuntarily.

"Director Yan, it must be a high-quality product. Besides, I promised to be the leading actor in your first big movie before, so you have to keep your word." He paused, and asked curiously, "Director Yan, there is probably a story in the movie. What story? What kind of person is the hero?"

"The movie tells the story of an ordinary man's life." Yan Wangchao raised his glasses, "His life has ups and downs, but also it's plain."

Ling Xiu reacted instantly, "Do I need to pretend to be old from young?"

"That's right." Yan Wangchao's eyes sparkled, "When I wrote this character, I had your image in my mind."

"..." Ling Xiu was a little speechless, and suddenly had a trace of concern, "I just turned 23, can I play the old man in his [-]s and [-]s?"

To say that Yan Wangchao was indeed capable, he immediately understood the true meaning of Ling Xiu's words.

"Mr. Ling, you're not worried that you can't hold your acting skills, but you're worried that your image won't be able to restore the elderly, right?"

Ling Xiu nodded desperately.

As a Pixiu, he just came of age, and he turned into a human in his twenties.

Only Pixiu at the age of the patriarch's grandfather will have the appearance of an old man in human form.

In the past, it was no problem to look old if you had divine power, but now that the divine power has been confiscated, you can only use artificial makeup to pretend to be old.

This will be more or less unnatural.

"You don't need to worry at all." Yan Wangchao shook his head and waved his hands decisively, "Mr. Ling, your acting skills will resolve all flaws in appearance and makeup. I can only use young actors for this movie, because when the leading actor was young, his eyes had clear This kind of look is not found in middle-aged and elderly actors. They are mature, sophisticated, and with experience, they are less pure."

Ling Xiu actually understood Yan Wangchao's thoughts very well.

Some things will never come back in the past, such as youth.

Not just humans, but everything in nature.

Now that the director has said so, even if he still has doubts in his heart, Ling Xiu feels that he should not be timid anymore.

"Okay." Ling Xiudao, "It's pressure and motivation. This time I will challenge the difficulty."

Yan Wangchao clapped his hands excitedly, "That's right! Teacher Ling, I don't want anyone but you as the lead actor in this movie. How about this, I'll send you the outline of the script first, about two or three It looks like a million words."

Ling Xiu was puzzled, "Director Yan, why don't you give me the complete electronic version of the script?"

Yan Wangchao was serious, "You've been running movie promotions for some time now, I'm afraid you'll get addicted to reading the script, which will affect your current work."

Ling Xiu was amused, and joked: "Director Yan, you really have a good intention."

"When your Spring Festival movie promotion is over, come to my house on a rest day, and let's talk about the movie script." Yan Wangchao smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, "I'll make fried skewers for you, barbecue, and make milk tea for you. You haven't eaten these for a long time, right?"

"Okay, okay!" Ling Xiu's eyes seemed to be green with hunger at this moment, "After the Spring Festival, we must make an appointment!"

Not long after hanging up the video call, Ling Xiu's cell phone received a new email.

Yan Wangchao sent over the outline of the new movie.

Ling Xiu decided to take a shower, lie on the bed and watch for a while before going to sleep.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xiu was completely fascinated by this look.

Although the outline is only [-] to [-] words, the story is exciting, and the hero's character image is both deep and empathetic, which made Ling Xiu burst into tears.

At this moment, he finally understood that what Director Yan said just now was not a joke.

——If the complete script is sent over, he might stay up all night watching it.

Will this affect the work of the next day?

After reading the outline, Ling Xiu's heart was full of ups and downs, and he really wanted to join the group to shoot a movie right away.

Any apprehensions I had about playing an older person dissipated.

Many actors may not be able to meet such a good script in their lifetime, but he was so lucky to meet it.

If you don't seize the opportunity, you will be sorry to both Director Yan and yourself.

Ling Xiu secretly made up his mind.

This movie must not only be acted, but also performed happily and wonderfully.

……

This year's Spring Festival is cold, but the film market is very hot, and the total box office has increased by 30.00% compared with last year's Spring Festival.

As expected by many film critics, on the morning of the third day of the Spring Festival, the box office of "Light of the Abyss" overtook that popular family comedy and topped the box office.

Looking at the Spring Festival stalls over the years, this phenomenon is extremely rare.

After various analyzes, film critics feel that the quality of the film itself and the actors' god-level acting skills jointly created the box office miracle of "Light of the Abyss".

But some ordinary viewers and melon-eating netizens have different opinions-they think this is the positive effect brought by Ziwei star Lingxiu.

Because of the intense discussion, #宇修传奇的紫微星# was also popularly searched by Wu Wu.

Everyone was very interested in this topic, and they all spoke on the hot search square.

"Help, I thought Ziwei Xing was talking nonsense, but you guys are discussing it so seriously?"

"Of course I'm serious. Besides Ling Xiu, who in the current entertainment industry would dare to recognize this title?"

"That's right, the previous "Seeing the Moon from the Sea" and the current "Light of the Abyss" are enough to show that Ling Xiu is the Ziwei star who brings good luck."

"Ziweixing is Ziweixing, I have to accept it."

"The most amazing thing is that Ling Xiu not only made his own movies a hit at the box office, but also revitalized the entire Spring Festival schedule. Those big productions actually did well at the box office."

"Really, last year there were more good movies in the Spring Festival than this year, but the market is very cold, so strange."

"After this encounter, I no longer have any doubts about Ling Xiu's lucky physique and magical fate."

"What fate is Ling Xiu? Why hasn't anyone come out after so long?"

"Netizens on Weibo and forums are not famous at all, and those who really understand metaphysics dare not."

"Why don't you dare to eight?"

"Ziwei Xing's fate, which ordinary person do you think dares to die?"

"It makes sense, but the more people there are, the more I really want to know. Oh my god, I really beg, some master to come and tell Ling Xiu's fate!"

So the netizens who are eager to eat melons are dispatched again to start a new round of @少家玄学大师.

As always, the masters did not dare to take the lead, and some of them even closed the Weibo comment area.

On the contrary, a closed-door disciple who claimed to be a master came out and broke the news, saying that his master had ventured to calculate Ling Xiu's fate, but he broke one of his legs when he went to the bathroom at night when he woke up that night.

He seriously advises all metaphysics lovers to cherish life and not to die.

This revelation added another layer of mystery to the rumors of Ling Xiu's miraculous fate, and a new round of discussions peaked on Weibo and various gossip forums.

Naturally, this wave of discussions didn't yield any results, but it actually promoted Ling Xiu and "Light of the Abyss" invisibly.

So Ling Xiu became popular, and the movie sold well at the box office.

During the seven days of the Spring Festival, "Light of the Abyss" miraculously cut a box office of 30 billion.

The holiday is over and the movie is still showing, but Ling Xiu's intensive publicity work has finally come to an end.

On the way home in the nanny's car, Ling Xiu felt a sense of relief, and he habitually opened WeChat on his phone.

A while ago, Yan Wangchao chatted with him almost every day, talking about some script ideas and chatting with him about the preparation of the film.

But in the past two days, he has not sent a message.

It's been a whole day since Ling Xiu sent him a discussion about the hero's arc light last night, and Director Yan hasn't replied yet.

What's going on here?

Couldn't be something wrong?

Ling Xiu thought about it and sent a WeChat message.

"Director Yan, you didn't reply to my message, are you too busy?"

"Sister Shu, my brother won't be working tomorrow, right?"

At this moment, Chang Xiaosong, who was sitting in the co-pilot, suddenly spoke.

Shen Jianshu glanced at the notepad, "Yes, you and Xiao Ling can have a rest tomorrow. We will attend a fashion event the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Chang Xiaosong stretched his waist with ease, "Finally I can sleep until I wake up naturally. I am exhausted during this time."

"Xiao Ling." Shen Jianshu called him suddenly.

Ling Xiu raised his head, "Sister, tell me."

"The film's publicity work is coming to an end, and you should consider your next project." Shen Jianshu closed his eyes and rested his mind, "There have been a lot of good projects sent recently, and I have also given you a lot of scripts. Do you have any fancy ones?"

"Speaking of the project, I want to formally tell you, sister." Ling Xiu straightened his back.

Shen Jianshu hummed, "Let's talk."

"Director Yan Wangchao's movie script has been written, and I read the outline, and the story is very exciting." Ling Xiu cut to the chase, "He invited me to play the leading role, and I agreed. Sister, I'm sorry, I agreed without asking you in advance. .”

Shen Jianshu's eyes snapped open.

"It's not a big deal if you agree." She looked at Ling Xiu with a complicated expression, "But there seems to be some problems with this movie..."
