Chapter 207 Mission 019
Xiao Ying had just become popular with the idol drama, and the company wanted to let him participate in more programs and shoot a few more idol dramas to maintain his fame. However, Xiao Ying, who had already had his own ideas, of course refused and turned down many of the company's schedules to leave enough free time for stock trading.
The company Xiao Ying signed with is called Fengying. In the domestic entertainment industry, it is only slightly inferior to the giant Huashi Films owned by the male protagonist Hua Yan. It has always been eyeing the throne of the first giant in the domestic entertainment industry.
If you want to go against the domineering CEO like the male protagonist Hua Yan, you must have enough chips in your hand. The first person Xiao Ying targeted was his own employer Fengying.
Well, the weather is cold, let's acquire Fengying!
Xiao Ying stayed at home for a few months, and with textbook-like precision, he cleverly acquired more than half of Fengying's shares and became the largest shareholder. After that, Xiao Ying did not continue, because the time for the first encounter between the female protagonist Yuchi Qingqing and the male supporting actor Song Shen was approaching.
Originally, Fengying, as the leading large company in the domestic entertainment industry, could not tolerate a small artist like Xiao Ying bargaining with them. After he said that he did not want to take so many shows and idol dramas for the time being, they put him on ice, intending to teach him a lesson. After tasting the taste of being out of fashion, he would naturally make money according to the company's arrangements.
Unexpectedly, a small artist who was not taken seriously turned into the big boss of the company after being put on ice for a few months!
The news that Fengying changed its owner and the new owner was a small artist under Fengying immediately caused a huge sensation, and it became a hot search in seconds, pushing the previous national husband Hua Yan to the second place.
The entertainment industry is changing very quickly. After a few months, few people, except for some diehard fans of Song Shen, still remember the once popular Nuan Shen. However, this time the identity of Fengying's new boss was exposed, and Xiao Ying's previous situation was dug out by the all-pervasive media.
At the press conference, Xiao Ying still sat on the main seat with a warm and gentle smile on his face, looking calmly at the reporters who were taking photos crazily below the stage.
Reporters asked questions one after another, and Xiao Ying picked out a few interesting answers.
——"Mr. Song, will you continue to act in the future?"
Xiao Ying smiled slightly and asked back: "Why would I acquire Fengying if I am not an actor?"
Everyone present was confused. To be an actor, you have to acquire your old employer? What kind of operation is this?
——"Mr. Song, why did you retire and become the president of Fengying when you were at the peak of your career?"
Xiao Ying's expression remained unchanged: "I just don't want to be busy making money for the company just because I'm famous." He curled his lips, "These social performances and commercial performances really hinder my concentration on filming."
——"Mr. Song, how did you acquire Fengying?"
Xiao Ying pretended to be cool: "It's just a simple financial method. Read more books on finance and apply it flexibly. That's it."
The other Fengying executives sitting next to Xiao Ying had indescribably complicated expressions when they heard his pretentious words.
After the press conference, the live video was posted online, and netizens who were very concerned about this matter all knelt down.
"He wants to acquire Fengying in order to act well. Mr. Song is really awesome!"
"I also study finance. I bow down to him in admiration!"
"As financial experts, why can Mr. Song acquire Fengying so easily when I lost all my money?"
"I want to act, so I'll acquire Fengying!"
"I want to go to college, so I'll acquire Shuimu University!"
"I want to eat, so I'll acquire ## restaurant!"
"I want to sing, so I'll acquire xx record company!"
"I want to be on TV, so I'll acquire the TV station!"
…………
The netizens are having more and more fun, and many jokes have been derived from this.
At this time, Xiao Ying has easily won the leading role in a large-scale costume drama.
This costume drama is a palace drama, and the general plot is similar and old-fashioned. The leading male role is the emperor, and the leading female role climbs from a palace maid to the position of queen, and starts a great love affair with the emperor. However, the detailed plot is quite exciting, and all kinds of palace fighting conspiracies are also very smart. It is adapted from a very popular palace fighting romance novel, and the director is a famous director who is good at shooting palace fighting dramas.
Originally, according to the fame of actor Xiao Ying, he could not get the male lead of this big crew. In the original work, Song Shen has been very popular in the arrangement of Fengying Company in the past few months, but he has only fought for the second male lead. The male lead is a first-line male star, and the female lead is naturally the heroine of this world, Yuchi Qingqing, because she was originally an ancient princess, and playing the female lead of palace fighting dramas is exactly what she is good at. Her superb acting skills and temperament impressed the director, and she successfully became the female lead of this drama as an eighteen-line little star, and later became a hit and her career went all the way up.
In the original work, Song Shen met the heroine Yuchi Qingqing through this drama, and later developed a good impression and admiration for her after contacting her, and then couldn't extricate himself. It's a pity that the heroine prefers the domineering president like the hero Hua Yan, and didn't pay much attention to him as a secret admirer at all.
Now Xiao Yan's status is completely different. When he joined the crew, he naturally chose the role of the male lead. As for the male second role, it was played by a second-tier actor, and the original male first candidate did not come to the crew.
When Xiao Yan came to the crew, he was treated completely differently from when he participated in the filming of idol dramas before. The director and producer took the initiative to greet him before he entered the crew, and he was also in a private room for makeup. None of the other actors dared to turn their backs on him.
These treatments made Xiao Ying feel much better. It was so realistic. Everything depended on strength, no matter whether it was background or popularity. Looking at the excitement on her side and the coldness on the heroine's side, it was a sharp contrast.
The original novel naturally described the filming process in detail when the heroine Yuchi Qingqing participated in her first filming. Yuchi Qingqing, who won the leading female role by impressing the director with her acting skills, temperament and appearance, had no popularity and no background. How could she live in peace in this circle where people flattered the high and trampled on the low and were jealous? There were many actresses who wanted to frame her and take her away to replace her as the leading female role. Among them, the most aggressive one was the second female role.
The second female role was also a well-known second-tier actress. She wanted to take on more popular dramas to impact the first line. She was originally eyeing the leading female role in this palace drama. Because this drama has a popular original novel as the basis, and there is a famous director who is good at shooting palace dramas, the leading female role is also very popular. It would be strange if she didn't become popular if she played the leading female role.
But she didn't expect to be snatched away by Yuchi Qingqing, an 18th-tier actress who came out of nowhere, and she was so angry that she didn't sleep well for a few days and had dark circles under her eyes. Although she later chose the second female lead, whose role was also likable, she still coveted Yuchi Qingqing's position as the first female lead, thinking of ways to prevent Yuchi Qingqing from playing the role.
In the original work, the second female lead plotted against Yuchi Qingqing in various ways, all of which were aimed at making the heroine disfigured, disabled and dead. In the end, it was found out and she was directly sent to the police station by the upright director. It must be said that the director of this crew is the first benefactor of the heroine.
Now that Xiao Yan is here, of course he plans to use this second female lead to embarrass Yuchi Qingqing to improve his favorability!
Heroes saving beauties will always be the best way to improve favorability. Especially this villain who embarrasses the beauty is his own actor, not someone he hired, so there is no need to worry about being exposed in the future and causing the beauty's favorability to go negative.
Xiao Ying plays the male lead emperor in this drama, but the director is actually not very willing to do so, because he thinks Xiao Ying's gentle and warm character does not fit the arrogant, cold and majestic emperor character. If it is an ordinary script written by the screenwriter, it is fine, and it is not difficult to change the male lead character. However, this drama is adapted from the currently popular palace fighting novel. It doesn't matter if the plot is changed, but even the character of the protagonist is changed. It will definitely be criticized by the original fans.
In fact, there are already original fans on the Internet who have started to criticize. They think the same as the director, thinking that Song Shen is not good at playing a cold role, and maybe he will laugh gently from the beginning to the end of the drama.
However, Xiao Ying's current status is different from the past. The director of this drama is only a well-known palace fighting drama director, and he is not the kind of big director who can show his face to investors. So even if he is not optimistic about Xiao Ying playing the emperor, no matter how unhappy he is, he still has to smile kindly.
However, the first scene gave this unhappy director a big surprise.
This scene is about the first encounter between the male protagonist, the emperor, and the female protagonist, who is still a palace maid, in the imperial garden. It is a very simple scene. The original novel only describes the female protagonist's uneasy psychological activities when she sees the majestic and indifferent emperor from her perspective. The director thought that Xiao Ying's performance was not good, so he gave the female protagonist more shots according to the original description, and then added the female protagonist's psychological expression in the later stage.
However, when Xiao Ying began to get into the role, her usually gentle face suddenly became indifferent, and an invisible majestic aura made the people around her tremble, and they almost thought that the person in front of them was really the emperor who controlled their life and death.
No one else felt as deeply as Yuchi Qingqing, who was facing Xiao Ying and acting opposite him. When Xiao Ying's cold and indifferent eyes swept over her, she felt as if her whole body was frozen and she dared not move. She held her breath and knelt on the ground, waiting for the emperor's gorgeous clothes to pass in front of her and float away before she dared to let out a long breath. She touched her forehead and was unconsciously sweating.
This scene was shot very simply. Yuchi Qingqing stood up from the ground and looked at Xiao Ying, who was surrounded by assistants and fanned and handed water. Her hands were tightly clenched in her wide sleeves, and her heartbeat was like in her ears.
This person's strong momentum reminded her of the scene when she met the emperor's grandfather when she was a child... Unlike her absurd and incompetent father, the emperor's grandfather was a wise monarch. Even though he was old and weak in his later years, he was still impressive. She only met the emperor's grandfather once at a close distance when she was young, but it left a very deep impression on her. But Xiao Ying, who had just started acting, gave her more pressure than her grandfather had given her when she was young.
Who is this person?
Before the second scene started, Yuchi Qingqing picked up the original owner's phone and operated it awkwardly to look up the name "Song Shen"...
