Celebrity PR

Rong Junxian saw that Bai Weiming was speaking so seriously, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

"The price on the contract is only responsible for ordinary image maintenance. Casting is an additional service, so an additional commission will be charged. I have already negotiated and signed a contract with your agent, Mr. Yu Zhiwu." Bai Wei Ming's tone was very mechanical, "The commission this time is 10% of your salary."

Rong Junxian's eyes widened: "10%?? That's all for the agent to take a commission! You also take a commission?"

"Yes." Bai Weiming nodded generously, "but I think the price is very reasonable."

Rong Junxian was overwhelmed by Bai Weiming's upright attitude: "You..."

"After all, if you don't want to, you can let Yang Shuxi play Zeng Fan."

Rong Junxian was unhappy when he heard this sentence, and quickly said: "Since the agency has agreed to you, what can I do?" After all, Rong Junxian is still an actor who has not filmed for two years.

Bai Weiming seemed to have expected that Rong Junxian would agree, and said, "Then I wish you success in this drama."

"Thank you." Rong Junxian nodded, and asked curiously, "But, didn't the director appoint Yang Shuxi by default? How could he change his mind?"

Bai Weiming didn't answer this question directly, but asked him instead: "Who do you think is the person with the most right to speak in the whole crew of "The Queen's Harem Zeng Fan Biography"?"

"Generally speaking, isn't the director the one who talks about the crew?"

"Are you sure? This time the director of the crew is relatively young and not well-known, so he is unlikely to be able to monopolize the power of the crew."

Rong Junxian thought for a while: "Indeed. Is it the producer? The employer?"

Bai Weiming nodded: "You speak well. The producer, chief screenwriter and boss of the production company behind "Zeng Fan Biography" are always the same person. Therefore, this person is the most influential."

A name immediately flashed in Rong Junxian's mind: "The chief screenwriter is... the gold medal screenwriter Chen Libing?"

"Yes, although he became famous as a screenwriter, he has now established a production company and is already a capitalist. He rarely writes dramas directly. This time he said he was the 'chief screenwriter', but he was actually putting on his own name. Even so , since he is the boss, Chen Libing has a great say in all aspects."

"If that's the case, why didn't you see him during the audition?" Rong Junxian asked.

Bai Weiming has already grasped the situation very clearly: "Because he is not only the person in charge of "Zeng Fan Biography", but also the person in charge of multiple projects in the entire company. He was hospitalized recently and lacks skills, so he cannot participate in the casting meeting. Even so, the director will still send him the final round of audition videos, and the role cannot be finalized without his nod."

Rong Junxian felt unbelievable: "This is too strange. Could it be that the video of Yang Shuxi's frequent falls and unreasonable lines can also fall into Chen Libing's eyes?"

"Don't you understand?" Bai Weiming continued to explain, "The director will definitely not record that video for Chen Libing."

Rong Junxian finally understood: "So, Yang Shuxi recorded several clips privately? The director sent his best clips to Chen Libing?"

"Not only that, the director hasn't sent your video to Chen Libing yet."

When Rong Junxian heard the words, he was furious: "This is too much!"

"You should be happy." Bai Weiming said in a soothing tone, "This proves that you are too good. A one-time performance is far better than a hundred rehearsals by Yang Shuxi and the director."

After hearing this sentence, Rong Junxian was really happy, but he pretended not to care: "Far better than him? What's there to be happy about? Isn't it right?"

Bai Weiming nodded and smiled: "Indeed."

Rong Junxian thought of something, and frowned again: "Then how did you solve this problem?"

"That's too simple." Bai Weiming replied, "I just need to send the video of your audition to Chen Libing. I believe he will have his own judgment."

Rong Junxian was surprised: "It sounds really simple...but how did you know that Chen Libing was hospitalized in the first place? And how did you know the director's 'cheating' operation? How did you get the video and show it to Chen Libing in the end? ?”

"Because I care about this crew very much, I spent money to buy a lot of news, and bought three assistants and a casting director. Since they got the money, they can do things naturally." Bai Weiming replied, "As I said That said, 99% of the problems are about money."

Rong Junxian opened his eyes, and said after a while: "Then you are really willing to spend money."

"You're welcome." Bai Weiming replied, "This is deducted from the funds for public relations activities, that is to say, this is not my money, of course it is willing."

At first, Rong Junxian was not convinced when the agent team brought such an arrogant public relations manager.Now, Rong Junxian has finally been persuaded, and Bai Weiming is very reliable in his work.

Not long after, the crew notified Rong Junxian that Zeng Fan would play.The next process is also very smooth, signing the contract, setting the file, trying on the outfit, setting the makeup, entering the group...

When Rong Junxian entered the group, Yu Zhiwu and others were all overjoyed, saying "Amitabha" all the time.Yu Zhiwu had seven or eight amulets in his hands, stuffing them into Rong Junxian's luggage.

Rong Junxian couldn't laugh or cry: "I think you have worshiped all the temples with a radius of a hundred miles! Wouldn't the Bodhisattva blame you for being fickle?"

Yu Zhiwu said: "Amitabha! It's not surprising that there are so many people there!"

Rong Junxian's first scene in the group was against Yang Shuxi.

That's right, although Yang Shuxi lost the role of Zeng Fan, with the help of the director, he still earned a big supporting role.This character is called "Fa Fei", a concubine who bullies others.Zeng Fan, played by Rong Junxian, was bullied by him when he first entered the palace.

Their first scene was when Concubine Fei slapped Zeng Fan.

Before the filming started, Yang Shuxi snapped his fingers there, as if the underworld was about to start a fight, and said with a smile on his face: "Oh, the director also asked for a real fight! I can't help it!"

Although Rong Junxian was angry, but considering his professionalism, he had no choice but to answer: "It's okay, let's really fight! For the sake of the show, it doesn't matter."

The director said: "You guys try it out first!—Start!"

With this order, Rong Junxian immediately entered the role, looking at Yang Shuxi pitifully.When Yang Shuxi saw Rong Junxian's thin skin and tender face, he couldn't bear it at first, but when he saw Rong Junxian's costume, he remembered that Rong Junxian had robbed the protagonist that belonged to him, and he became angry from the heart Suddenly, Rong Junxian's face was distorted with a "slap".

Rong Junxian didn't expect Yang Shuxi to strike suddenly without even saying a line, and he hit so hard that he was dumbfounded.

The director immediately called a stop.One side of Rong Junxian's head was still buzzing, he didn't hear the director call out, and he just stood there as if he had wronged the young hero.

"Oh, why is senior so careless?" Yang Shuxi exaggeratedly stretched out his hand to help Rong Junxian, "Are you all right?"

Only then did Rong Junxian realize that half of his body had been hit, covered his face, and said angrily, "You just hit me without saying a line!"

Yang Shuxi was startled, and said again: "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot! Let's do it again!"

Before Rong Junxian had time to answer, the makeup artist came up to touch up Rong Junxian's makeup, and saw that Rong Junxian's cheeks were a little red, and he had to apply powder.Rong Junxian was furious, and said: "Even if it's a real fight, it's impossible to slap him directly! Actors need to talk about cooperation! They need rhythm!"

"Really? So you still have so much knowledge?" Yang Shuxi smiled and replied, "Am I a newcomer? I don't quite understand it yet. It will be better if I come a few more times."

Rong Junxian got angry when he heard "come a few more times", leaned over and slapped Yang Shuxi. "Slap" covered Yang Shuxi's face, which also knocked Yang Shuxi into a daze.

Seeing that half of Yang Shuxi's face was flushed, Rong Junxian smiled and said: "Look, it's not enough to fight like this. The rhythm is right, for example, 1, 2, 3, fight!"

——Rong Junxian raised his hand, and as soon as he lowered it, Yang Shuxi was ready when he heard the rhythm. It was as if he had been slapped heavily in the face.

Yang Shuxi took two steps back before reacting, but saw that Rong Junxian had already sat down again.Rong Junxian asked the makeup artist to do the makeup for him, and at the same time raised his chin to Yang Shuxi: "Do you understand?"

"I..." Yang Shuxi received two slaps in the face, his aura suddenly dropped a level, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Do you understand or not?" Rong Junxian glanced at him, "Otherwise I can teach you a few more times."

Seeing that Rong Junxian was so arrogant, Yang Shuxi was quite annoyed, and was about to explode, but the director stepped forward, pressed Yang Shuxi's shoulder, and smoothed things over with a smile: "This is the senior who shared his experience with you, you have to learn more. After all, There are many slap scenes in this eight o'clock file!"

Only then did Yang Shuxi reluctantly nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

"You're welcome, I like to give advice to the younger generation. I'm not afraid that the younger generation will be stupid, but I'm afraid that they won't learn." Rong Junxian raised his face and let the makeup artist's powder puff wipe his graceful chin like a swan.

Yang Shuxi's suppressed anger was ignited by Rong Junxian's eccentric remarks: "Hehe! Senior speaks so loudly, he should play the role of concubine."

"Actually, it's okay." Rong Jun smiled enviously, "It's not that I don't have to play the leading role. Sometimes playing the leading role is also very tiring. So I also envy you because you don't have many roles and can be idle."

Yang Shuxi was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves, and was going to slap Rong Junxian to relieve his anger later.However, the director pulled Yang Shuxi aside and taught him: "Look, Rong Junxian is not easy to get along with! If you don't fight well later, he will definitely get it back in the name of 'pointing up'! Or just forget it! "

Yang Shuxi refused to give up: "If he dares to hit me again, I will hit back!"

"What does that look like? Is this still the set of a costume drama? Isn't this the scene of a slap competition?" The director was also a little annoyed, "Just cooperate and act well! Otherwise, wait for Mr. Li to come over and see you If you don't act well, you don't even have to be a poor concubine!"

Yang Shuxi was honest after receiving such a warning. He and Rong Junxian discussed the rhythm issue, got the scene right twice, and then officially filmed one and it was over.

In fact, the director's reminder made sense, and Chen Libing really came to "inspect".But he didn't disturb others, he just stood beside the director and watched, but he saw Yang Shuxi raised his hand and slapped Rong Junxian, Rong Junxian turned his face in a timely manner, but his body was like a crane shot by an arrow, elegant and painful Turning aside, but still staying in the proper position of the picture, like a preset set.

Yang Shuxi slandered in his heart: After being slapped, he turned around half a circle. I don't know why he thought he was dancing a waltz. The bitch is hypocritical!

With such emotions, Yang Shuxi vividly interpreted the attitude of the concubine who bullied the newcomer: "You lowly slave, how dare you offend me! Someone, drag him down!"

Listening to Yang Shuxi's emotionally full and natural lines, Chen Libing nodded, and said to the director: "The poor concubine you chose is not bad."

The director smiled: "Where is he good? Your character is well written!"

Chen Libing slightly raised his eyebrows: "What are you talking to me for? You should call out."

The director nodded hurriedly and shouted: "Ca!"

When the director called the card, the trembling Rong Junxian immediately returned to his calm look, and raised his head to look in the direction of the director, only then did he see a strange man standing beside the director.The man was wearing a white plaid shirt, khaki pants on his legs, and a dark brown peaked cap tilted on his head. He was dressed very ordinaryly.

The director stood up and moved a chair for this ordinary man.

Both Rong Junxian and Yang Shuxi walked over curiously.The director introduced: "Who do you see coming? Isn't this Mr. Li! Coming to the set right after leaving the hospital, it's not easy!"

Immediately, Yang Shuxi said with concern: "Is Mr. Li feeling better?"

Chen Libing quickly replied: "I am in good health and am not sick."

Rong Junxian looked at Chen Libing carefully, and saw that Chen Libing looked gentle and fair, like a scholar, but his eyelids were a little red.Rong Junxian said, "Didn't you go to stretch your eyelids?"

Having said this, everyone was silent.

Three seconds later, Chen Libing said, "Yes."

The director's face turned blue, but Yang Shuxi laughed secretly: This is offending people!What a joy!

Rong Junxian approached and took a closer look: "Really? I'm talking nonsense, you did it too naturally."

Chen Libing smiled and said, "You can look more carefully. There are still traces of stitches here." As he spoke, Chen Libing slowed down his blinking so that Rong Junxian could observe carefully.

Rong Junxian was shorter than him, so he wanted to look up a little, but suddenly felt that the headdress was heavy, so he supported the headdress with one hand while looking up.Chen Libing smiled: "You are too tired like this." After finishing speaking, Chen Libing half-closed his eyes, and then leaned slightly so that Rong Junxian could see clearly without raising his head.Rong Junxian looked at it for a while, and only said: "Why did the boss sew the double eyelids?"

"Because I want to be a good-looking boss." Chen Libing smiled softly, "Is it not possible?"
