Chapter 386

"Where do you plan to go, Sister Zi Xing?"

On the way to shoot the short film, Lu Yanhe called Huang Kairen to chat about this matter and asked.

Huang Kairen smiled, "Why are you still asking me about this matter? One is your agent and the other is your girlfriend. Shouldn't you ask them?"

"That's why it's hard to ask." Lu Yanhe said, "Brother Huang, didn't Sister Zi Xing tell you?"

"She hasn't thought about it yet." Huang Kairen said, "That's what she told me anyway."

"Okay, no news at all." Lu Yanhe smiled.

Huang Kairen: "Anyway, no matter where I am, I'm going to your place."

"How is that possible?" Lu Yanhe said, "Then what are you busy with recently?"

"I'm preparing for a drama. This drama is about lawyers. I'm observing and learning at a law firm." Huang Kairen said, "I go there to clock in and work every day."

"Wulin Gaiden" cannot be started in the short term because a Tongfu Inn must be built first, so Huang Kairen took over another drama that will start shooting at the end of the year.

Lu Yanhe was surprised, "You are so awesome, Brother Huang, are you experiencing life too well? It's a bit exaggerated."

Huang Kairen: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I really like to think about acting now. In the past, in order to maintain my exposure and keep myself in the audience's sight, I filmed one film after another without daring to stop. Now I don’t have that sense of urgency anymore, so I started filming slowly. In the past, it felt like I was rushing to the scene non-stop.”

"When you win the Best Actor." Lu Yanhe smiled, "I'll have to treat you to a big dinner then."

"Okay." Huang Kairen said, "If I really win the Best Actor, I'll treat you to a big dinner. We haven't gotten together for a long time. You're not filming now and you're busy with class every day? When will you be free? , I’ll have a meal with you.”

"Okay." Lu Yanhe said, "But not in these two days. I have to shoot a short film in these two days."

"What short film are you making?"

"In the previous script of "Rouge Button", didn't you want to act? They didn't find any other suitable actors, so they asked me to try, but we both felt that it might not be suitable, so we wanted to make a short film first. Look." Lu Yanhe said, "This was the idea of ​​Sister Zi Xing, and she organized the game."

Huang Kairen: "You're going to act in "Rouge Button"? Yan He, are you sure? Have you thought clearly? I'm not making excuses for myself. The image of this character is indeed not very good. It's very risky for you to act. Now because "Late Spring" has become the dream boyfriend of many girls, when "Rouge Button" is released, you may get a banana peel."

Lu Yanhe understood what Huang Kairen meant.

"Brother Huang, I know, I'm still thinking about it myself." He said, "But this story... to be honest, I really think this will become a very classic movie. Classic movies, no matter whether the characters are good or bad, are all Artistic and aesthetic, even characters with moral flaws are still artistic and human. Brother Huang, if you have nothing to do, why not come and take a look at the filming site of our short film.”

Huang Kairen: "Huh?"

“Does the law firm also work on weekends?”

"They work overtime very seriously."

"But you don't have to check in there, right?" Lu Yanhe sincerely invited, "Come and see the short film live. In fact, you are really suitable. Brother Huang, maybe you will think differently after seeing our live performance. Feelings will change your mind.”

"What do you mean, you don't still want me to act in this movie, do you?"

"If you change your mind, why not?" Lu Yanhe said, "I am looking for the most suitable actor for this script. In my heart, you are the most suitable actor."

Huang Kairen took a deep breath and said, "Yan He, I really don't know how to answer what you said. Alas, if it weren't for such a role, I would have agreed immediately. I know, he He is a very rich character and has a lot of room for performance. However, I... Let me put it bluntly, my current acting skills are not good enough for me to not care about the market's image positioning of me. If this drama The impression that I am being regarded as a scumbag by many people will have a great impact on my career. Since my debut, I have actually taken a very positive image route. The more actors follow this route, the less afraid they are. It’s easy to try a villain, especially one that involves moral betrayal.”

Huang Kairen's words are truly sincere.

However, although Lu Yanhe understood, he still did not give up, "It doesn't matter, you can stick to your attitude, but why don't you come and visit our head office? Not only am I here, but also Sister Zi Xing is here."

-

Xin Zixing is checking every place on the set.

She has never seriously led a set.

Although this set is actually being worked on by a team that Director Wang Zhong has been working with all year round, as the overall person in charge of this project, she also has to manage and control everything.

The unpleasantness of Ye Vein Network has been forgotten by her.

She had already made a decision in her heart and was just waiting to tie up the work at hand as soon as possible. She could also leave at the right time.

Director Wang Zhong also wandered around every corner of the set very carefully, checking every place.

He has very high requirements for props, so high that even Xin Zixing finds it incredible.

Special emphasis is placed on texture.

"Zixing, thanks to you for doing so much detailed work this time, everything went so smoothly." Wang Zhong thanked her.

"Director, don't be polite to me. I would also like to thank you for giving me such an opportunity to be the leader of such a good crew." Xin Zixing said, "Anyway, if you have any discomfort with the process or details, please feel free to Tell me and I will coordinate the solution."

Wang Zhong waved his hand.

This time, apart from anything else, Xin Zixing handled the shooting expenses, cooperation models, specific requirements, etc. in a crisp and neat way without any sloppiness, which also made Wang Zhong feel an extremely rare feeling of having no worries. The feeling of shooting.

You must know that Wang Zhong would face various problems when filming any movie in the past. These problems also require him to personally come forward to solve them to a certain extent.

At this time, Chen Bige came.

"Director, Zi Xing." She greeted them, "Is Yan He not here yet?"

"Still on the way." Xin Zixing said, "We'll arrive in about half an hour."

Chen Bige said: "Okay, let me put on makeup first."

Xin Zixing nodded.

It takes Chen Bige more than two hours to put on makeup.

After all, it would take dozens of minutes to perm her hair.

When Xin Zixing was about to follow Chen Bige to take a look, her phone suddenly rang.

-

"After Yan He told me this, I am a little shaken now and my heart is a little confused. Do you think I should take the role of "Rouge Button"?" Huang Kairen asked his girlfriend.

Xin Zixing stood behind several stacked apple boxes and said, "If you ask me for my opinion, of course I would think you should take it. Putting aside this role, director Wang Zhong and Chen Bige as the heroine, such a collaboration Opponent, if you don’t cooperate, won’t you regret it in the future?”

"What if my acting career collapses because of this drama?" Huang Kairen asked.

Xin Zixing said: "What are you afraid of? There is also "Wulin Gaiden" waiting for you to shoot later. The script of the sitcom written by Lu Yanhe has been read by the industry and is called a very good script. Even if "Rouge Button" is really Your acting image has been ruined. Didn't you still have "Wulin Gaiden" to protect you? I think you are too timid now, just like you did two or three years ago, so you changed your acting career in order to win awards. You have to hesitate and worry about everything, but you miss some good scripts. You said it yourself, right? "

Huang Kairen was silent.

"Lu Yanhe is right. If you are hesitant, then come and watch them make a short film. You are an actor, and actors rely on their perception and performance to beg for food from the audience. Then use your eyes and your Let’s see what kind of play this will be like.”

Huang Kairen: "...I am afraid that if I go to see it, I will really lose my mind and desperately want to act."

"Then what else do you say? If you desperately want to act and you still don't dare to act, then have you been around for so many years in vain?" Xin Zixing said, "You have to believe that the current audience is very Tolerant, especially for you. This is not the past. Playing a villain has a lifelong impact. Now everyone knows that you are acting. You have been in it for a while and you will come out immediately. "

Huang Kairen took a deep breath.

-

"Are you going to visit the class?"

Huang Kairen's manager immediately frowned, "Why are you going? You've already arranged an acting class, so it wouldn't be good to cancel it at the last minute, right?"

"I have to go." Huang Kairen said, "If it really turns into a regret, then I will regret it for the rest of my life and I won't even be able to sleep."

The agent said: "We have already analyzed the role in "Rouge Button" and it is not suitable for you. Why are you wasting your time? We will stick to the previous strategy steadily, film the drama, and hone our acting skills. You All that’s missing now is time.”

Huang Kairen: "No, I have to go."

The manager's face was full of disappointment, "Since you announced your relationship with Xin Zixing, you seem to pay less and less attention to my opinions, Kai Ren."

Huang Kairen had no choice but to say: "No, how could it be possible? But you also know how my relationship with Yan He is. He asked me to visit the class, but why didn't I go? And Director Wang Zhong and Chen Bige are both here, so I'll go see him." It’s also good to meet them.”

Agent: "I can't hold you back anyway. If you must go, then go."

The agent clearly showed his dissatisfaction on his face.

Huang Kairen felt a little helpless in his heart.

During this time, the conflict between him and his agent seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

Conversations like this happen all the time.

What's wrong?

We obviously had a great time cooperating together at the beginning, we could talk about anything, work hard together, and struggle together. Why are we suddenly unable to understand each other now?

These doubts and emotions can only be kept in his heart, and Huang Kairen cannot express them. If he does, the relationship between him and his agent will be even worse.

-

"As an agent, will you ever encounter a time when you have a bad relationship with an artist?" At this time, Chen Ziyan was also being interviewed by a media. As a promotion for her high-end service company, the reporter was of course This question was asked.

Chen Ziyan is most famous for being the manager of celebrity artists.

“Yes, of course.” Chen Ziyan said, “In fact, although everyone says that I am a gold medal agent or something, it is actually the same as the relationship between you and your boss. No matter how powerful your boss is in the eyes of others, he is just a nasty guy who makes you work 996 every day and PUAs you. It’s the same for me as an agent. Many times, we must admit that honest advice is unpleasant to the ear and good medicine is bitter. Artists will be unhappy and dissatisfied. It’s just that because I have the qualifications and ability, many people will hold back and hide it.”

“According to what you said, there will actually be many times when artists are disobedient?”

“That can’t be said. I just put myself in a position with good original intentions and good to artists, so artists who are disobedient to me are all negative images. But what if my premise is wrong, for example, I am a bad agent, my vision can’t keep up with the development of artists, my ability can’t help artists solve problems in the first place, and my resources can’t help artists go to the next level, then of course artists will be disobedient to me, and their disobedience is understandable. It is definitely understandable from the perspective of an observer, right?”

The reporter nodded.

"But the agent may not be able to accept it." Chen Ziyan immediately said, "After all, when the artist was not famous, who made great efforts and sacrifices to make them famous? To be honest, before the artist became famous, the effort and energy that the agent had to put in far exceeded the rewards the agent received, and many fans inherently regard the agent as a wolf grandmother, as a negative image with various intentions to use the artist, right?"

The reporter nodded.

Chen Ziyan said: "I am an agent myself, so I can't help but empathize with the agent in such a situation - that is, the two people are just at different stages of development and are not compatible, rather than having any principled problems between each other."

"Do you think the artist will endure it at this time?"

"No." Chen Ziyan shook her head, "On the contrary, I think that ambitious and capable artists will break up with their agents at this time even if they have a quarrel with their agents. That is, how should I put it, when breaking up, it must be earth-shattering and you die and I break up, but those who have really had a good experience can actually understand each other after going through the most difficult breakup stage. I am an agent. To be honest, for the artists I have sincerely taken care of, as long as they are not two-faced, or betrayed me, or something like that, even if she doesn't listen to my advice and insists on leaving me, then OK, I will let go."

"Then if one day Yan He tells you that you are not suitable and he wants to change an agent, what will you say?" the reporter asked.

Chen Ziyan laughed.

"I haven't thought about it." Chen Ziyan said, "I wouldn't have thought about it before it happened."

"But actually, thinking about it again, I think I have already answered it." (End of this chapter)
