Acting depends on immortality, cultivating immortality depends on popularity

After hearing Yu Li's question, Cheng Xuan quickly looked at Yu Li. When he read the script of this drama, he complained that it was adapted from a Tanmei novel, so there must be an ambiguous scene between the male protagonists. .

In fact, there are not only ambiguous scenes, but also a few meat scenes that are not too explicit but beautifully depicted, and nude scenes that are written but not sure whether they will be filmed.

It's just that Chengxuan himself didn't have the nerve to ask this question. He knew that Yuli would definitely ask if he saw it. Now when he mentioned this matter, although there was no jealousy in his voice, Chengxuan still clearly felt someone's mood. Slightly less beautiful.

The chopsticks that Director Lu extended towards the boiled pork slices stopped suddenly, and he looked up at Yu Li with an innocent face: "It's not yet decided." He pondered for two seconds, "Actually, there is another matter."

"What?" Cheng Xuan had a bad premonition in his heart.

"I don't have anything to do for the time being, so I just booked a few locations for the filming and invited some experts and teachers to confirm the service of the show. Directing, and beyond that, the whole crew..."

Cheng Xuan quickly raised his hand to interrupt: "Just tell me, how much will you pay me this time?"

"No." Director Lu said confidently, and looked at Yu Li by the way, "You can invest in shares and get a share of the box office afterwards."

Cheng Xuan took a deep breath: "As the co-author, are you planning to let me sell meat to make money at the box office?"

"I believe the box office should be good." Director Lu looked at Chengxuan, "I still believe in my appeal, and your meat selling point should also be very eye-catching."

"That's why you asked me to play the male lead?" Cheng Xuan felt his teeth itch a little. The largest film since his debut was about to be dedicated to this guy's work. Why did the more he thought about it, the more he felt a bit of a loss?Especially since he is so righteous!

Yu Li raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his brows: "Investment is not a problem." When Cheng Xuan and Director Lu cooperated before, because Director Lu didn't like looking for capital, the two of them had invested and cooperated before.At that time, the box office was not bad, which made Cheng Xuan a fortune. Now this movie starring Cheng Xuan, with a very good script, there is no problem at all in investing a sum of money, "But another male The starring role... is mainly the script of this drama, and the scale is a bit big."

Director Lu suddenly looked at Yu Li and then at Cheng Xuan, frowned and thought for a while, then asked the two of them, "Are you two a couple?"

In fact, Director Lu just guessed that way, mainly because both of them have excellent appearances. Although he hadn't dealt with Yu Li much before (Yu Li used to be the puppet manipulator), when eating and drinking at the same table today, But I can also feel that the relationship between the two people is very familiar, intimate and natural.

Although Chengxuan and Chengxuan did not show their affection in public, the atmosphere between them is different from the general feeling between managers and artists, and it is also different from the feeling between so-called cousins. There is no brotherhood. That kind of pure and simple, but has an atmosphere of unknown origin.

It has to be said that the director of a literary film is the director of a literary film. Even if Director Lu is a man, he can still clearly feel the extraordinary emotional atmosphere hidden under the appearance, which is very clever.

Cheng Xuan was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red and his eyes began to drift away.But Yu Li generously put his arms around Cheng Xuan's shoulders: "Yes."

The proportion of homosexuals in the circle is actually quite a lot. Most of the outside public don't know about it, but people in the circle know it very well.There are even many couples who are unknown to the outside world, couples who are secretly married, but people in the circle have long known it, but this kind of open secret, everyone abides by the default rules and does not disclose it to the outside world.

After all, there are still many fans with extreme personalities in this world. God knows, will those fans lose their minds and do something after these relationship situations are exposed?Back then, after some heavenly kings broke the news that they were going to get married, did fans slash their wrists and jump off buildings to commit suicide?

Director Lu didn't continue to ask about the relationship between the two, and didn't even mention whether the so-called cousins ​​were real relatives—he wasn't such a gossipy person in the first place.Instead, he suddenly looked at Yu Li very seriously, and suddenly said to the two: "Then the other male lead is up to you."

Cheng Xuan: "Huh?!"

Yu Li: ...

"It's not that you wait, isn't it so sloppy to choose a leading actor?!"

Director Lu's expression suddenly became completely relaxed, and there was even a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. While holding the dishes in his hands, he pointed at Yu Li with the tail of his chopsticks: "Your boyfriend is so handsome, and I will act with you." The opponent's scene is just right, and the sex scene will be more natural, let him take his script, and you two will practice more when you go back."

Yu Li: ...Although I knew that Director Lu was very casual at times, but is he really a man who is so casual?Those previous award-winning films were really shot by this guy?

Cheng Xuan: "He has never studied acting, and he is not interested at all!!"

Director Lu looked at Yu Li suspiciously: "Then you are willing to see him kiss and hug other men?"

Yu Li: Of course not, otherwise why did he ask who the other hero is?

But even Yu Li never thought of acting in person!

Cheng Xuan took a deep breath. In fact, he was not unwilling, but Yu Li himself had no interest in acting, and he had never learned it... Although Cheng Xuan said that he could teach, but now he still wants to resist it. , otherwise it would be too unreserved: "Then how do you explain to the audience that another male lead has an amateur acting?"

Director Lu continued to remain expressionless, and stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth: "The crew is out of money, so we can't afford to hire other actors."

It's really a good reason, and it was indeed created by Director Lu, and the general public is familiar with it...

Yes, as long as netizens who have paid a little attention to the film and television industry, watched several films of Director Lu and heard some gossip rumors, they all know that this director hates bosses to point and point, so he saved enough money for filming in his early years , and sold all his house and car, and started to make movies with his own money.

Fortunately, he is indeed quite talented. Although the films he made may not be blockbusters at the time, they can always win more or less awards.After winning the award, the film took advantage of the opportunity to make a small profit while it was still on the shelf, or it was on the shelf again, so the money earned was used to make new films in addition to meeting Director Lu's daily expenses, and the cycle continued like this.

In this way, although Director Lu can't make much money, he has made many films one after another, and won many trophies, which can be regarded as a strange flower in the film and television industry.

If he said that because he couldn't afford to hire a big-name actor to join him because he didn't have the money, so he found a passerby or a staff member to play another leading role at a low price, the audience and people in the industry would definitely believe his nonsense!

Cheng Xuan rubbed his forehead weakly: "You two talk about the investment, I want to eat!"

Director Lu said: "There is also the matter of learning opera. I know that you will not have much time until the end of the year, but during this period you have to learn the basic skills of Kunqu opera well. Teacher, I have already contacted you. I will give you the contact information later. Make your own time."

Cheng Xuan nodded and began to eat. The basic skills are easy to talk about. After learning the old students before, he learned some basic skills in Tsing Yi from Mr. Zhou. practice.

Of course, Cheng Xuan didn't have the foresight to know that there would be such a play waiting for him in the future, he just treated those basic homework as learning dance, practicing stretching and shaping his body every day.But I didn't expect that now it seems to be planning for a rainy day.

Of course, although Kunqu Opera and Peking Opera are somewhat similar, there are still many differences after all. Cheng Xuan still needs to learn from the beginning with the master of Kunqu Opera.

When Yu Li and Director Lu finished talking about the capital injection, Director Lu thought of something again and said, "I know that you have learned singing from old students and it's not bad. You'd better learn Kunqu opera seriously. If you can sing well , When I wait for the official filming and dubbing, I don’t need to find professional opera actors to help you dub.”

Cheng Xuan: "... Then you can save money for dubbing, right?"

Director Lu nodded sincerely, opened a bottle of white wine casually, and confronted Yu Li again...

When dinner broke up, director Lu Da, who claimed to be the number one drinking director in the world (during the middle of drunkenness, director Lu slapped his chest and let out bold words), finally slipped out of the table. Fortunately, director Lu's assistant was waiting nearby and was talking to his girlfriend. What about a date.

After Cheng Xuan finished calling him, the hard-working child ran to the hotel with a sad face, picked up Director Lu, waved to Cheng Xuan and Yu Li, and then drove the car to take Director Lu to the hotel with a sad face. Throwing it home, as for his girlfriend... It's not possible to break up, but he will definitely lose his temper for two days.

When Cheng Xuan and Yu Li were on their way home, when he thought that Yu Li was going to act in a movie with him out of nowhere, Cheng Xuan couldn't help but started laughing, and kept laughing all the way home. Next, holding the script and pulling Yu Li back to the bedroom, he collapsed on the bed with a smile.

Yu Li's expression was calm, and he took off his coat to go to the bathroom to take a shower: "Are you sure you want to continue laughing? The program team will come to the door to shoot tomorrow morning."

Only then did Cheng Xuan regain his breath, and still looked at Yu Li with a smile: "How do you feel about your going into the film industry soon?"

Yu Li squeezed Chengxuan's cheek: "I only shoot this one, this is your first time filming a passionate scene on the big screen, do you think I will let others shoot with you?"

Cheng Xuan was provoked by these words, so he slowly knelt up from the bed, raised his arms and grabbed Yu Li's neck: "Let's take a bath together?"

Yu Li put his arms around Cheng Xuan's waist, and carried him into the bathroom...

After the indescribable, it was time for the two of them to lay tenderly on the bed and prepare to rest.Neither of them was worried about Yu Li asking He Chengxuan to play a rival role. The reason is very simple - the role played by Chengxuan is not too difficult to play, and with Chengxuan around, the two of them can play. Practice coordination at home every day, plus Yu Li has nothing to fear in this world, plus he is naturally thick-skinned... Ah no, he is naturally cold and arrogant, so of course it is impossible to be afraid of mere cameras.

After studying and practicing for such a long time, Cheng Xuan couldn't believe that with Yu Li's photographic memory talent comparable to his, he still couldn't play such a role?
