Chapter 315: Have You Realized
[I got stuck for some reason, I will make it up tomorrow]
Because they are all small-scale technical fights, and Hao Lei's identity as a layman has also been taken into consideration.
So the filming of the battle in the shabby cabin went relatively smoothly. It was approved after four takes in total. In fact, the third take was pretty good, but Xu Kun saved another one to be on the safe side.
It goes without saying that when it comes to the literary scenes, which is what Hao Lei is best at, neither Zhao Changjun nor Zhang Jin are currently actors who are good at literary scenes. Hao Lei seems to be at ease when acting opposite them.
However, after watching the replay, Xu Kun couldn't help but sigh.
The last time I was filming "Lost on Journey", I was so focused on acting opposite her that I didn't pay much attention to her.
When she focused on directing this time, and watched Hao Lei's performance carefully again, she found that compared with when she filmed "The Young Emperor", her acting skills had improved, but she had also lost her carefree spirit.
This Lou Ye is really good at cheating people!
It’s bad enough that he lost his love and career, but how come even his spirituality was worn away?
The most frustrating thing is that despite such a huge loss, I didn't even get a proper award. Don't you think this is simply losing both the wife and the army?
"what happened?"
Hao Lei saw that he looked strange and asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with my performance just now?"
"No, I just feel..."
Xu Kun thought for a while before he figured out how to describe it: "I just feel that Sister Lei, your performance now is too mellow and mature."
Although the words were a bit vague, Hao Lei still understood them. After a long silence, she sighed and said, "Flowers may bloom again, but people never stay young."
"Why are you even talking about this? I think you're just too obsessed with something and can't get out of it!"
As he was speaking, Xu Kun's cell phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was Wang Zhonglei calling. Xu Kun walked a few steps to a place where there was no one, answered the phone and asked, "What's wrong, second brother? Why are you calling me suddenly?"
"I miss you, isn't it?"
"No, I don't like it!"
"Haha, you kid."
Wang Zhonglei laughed twice, then said: "It's not a big deal. It's just that Zhao Liying and He Zhuoyan had a fight in the practice room. He Zhuoyan even said in front of many trainees that Zhao Liying had an affair with you..."
Having said this, Wang Zhonglei deliberately paused, wanting to see Xu Kun's reaction.
"What does this have to do with anything?!"
Xu Kun was speechless and said, "I don't think I have offended that He Zhuoyan, right? Why would she make up rumors about me for no reason?"
He Zhuoyan was the champion of Zhang Da Huzi's group, and her singing and dancing skills were almost the best. Xu Kun had always praised her at the beginning.
How could this be regarded as an act of ingratitude and thus creating a yellow rumor?
"Who said you didn't offend her?"
Wang Zhonglei said: "The role of Shuang'er in The Deer and the Cauldron was originally reserved for her by Big Beard, but later you gave it to Xiong Naijin, so she had to settle for the role of Zeng Rou - the roles of these two are very different."
So that's what happened.
Zhang Da Huzi was quite generous. Obviously, he was just doing the job for the money, but he didn't expect that he would prepare such a big benefit for the winning contestant.
"Even if that's the case, then why did she approach Zhao Liying?"
"Isn't this Xiong Naijin who hasn't made the official announcement yet?"
Wang Zhonglei explained: "He Zhuoyan went home to take a leave of absence after filming a commercial a while ago. When he returned to Beijing, he heard that the role of 'Shuang Er' that he had the opportunity to play had been snatched away by you. He also heard that the company was going to arrange an important role for Zhao Liying, so he naturally thought that this was the same thing, so..."
That makes sense.
Ultimately, it’s because there is no one at the top and the information channels are too narrow.
"So what important role did the company assign to Xiao Zhao?"
"It's not that important. I just played Zhang Guoli's youngest daughter in Zhang Guoli's new drama. I have the least amount of scenes among the main actors."
That's not as good as "Shuang'er". It seems that Huayi has no intention of promoting her.
Xu Kun asked again: "Was the fight very severe?"
"He Zhuoyan's nose was broken, and Zhao Liying had three bloody marks on her face. Apart from this, the biggest loss for both of them was their hair."
This sounds like a picture.
Xu Kun's mind flashed with the image of the two men pulling each other's hair and fighting. He said speechlessly, "So how is the company going to deal with this matter?"
"He Zhuoyan refrigerates it directly."
Wang Zhonglei said: "As for Zhao Liying, it depends on your attitude - although she is considered a victim, according to the instructor's reaction, this is not the first time she has fought with someone."
After a pause, he smiled and said, "This girl is quite interesting. She is probably afraid of being punished, so she is very vague about everything involving you. She neither admits nor completely denies it. The people below are afraid to make the decision, so they report it to me."
Hey~
She was originally a very simple and honest girl, but after only being in Huayi for a short time, she has already learned how to use big banners to deceive others.
However, her little cleverness is not very reliable. If Xu Kun expresses disgust and denies it, she will be faced with even more severe punishment.
"What if I don't have an attitude?"
"Hmm~" Wang Zhonglei pretended to think for a moment before saying, "Then let her play a cameo role in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". After the cameo, we can see if she has come to her senses, and then decide how to deal with her."
This 'enlightenment' is definitely not serious!
Xu Kun always felt that doing so was a bit like forcing a good woman into prostitution, but thinking about Zhao Liying's ambiguous attitude when facing the "interrogation", he probably wouldn't think that this was a bad thing.
"Give me her cell phone number and I'll ask her directly what she thinks."
"Okay then. I'll have someone send it to you later."
…………
At the same time, Huayi headquarters.
Zhao Liying had been alone in the small conference room for more than an hour, and her mood had gone from being nervous to being anxious.
Although she was the "victim" this time, when she was questioned earlier, she heard the trainee supervisor bring up her past of "bullying the weak", and she knew that group of trainees and instructors definitely didn't say anything good about her.
I don't know how the company will deal with me - but I must not give 'Shuang'er' to anyone else!
Just as I thought of this, I saw the trainee supervisor come in and said, "You go back first, someone will call you later."
Call up?
Is this a dismissal call?!
Zhao Liying stood up nervously and asked cautiously, "Then Shuang'er from The Deer and the Cauldron..."
"What's 'Shuang Er'?"
The trainee supervisor curled his lips and said, "That's Xiong Naijin's role, what does it have to do with you?"
Zhao Liying's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Finished!
Completely finished!
In the end, she didn't know how she left the small meeting room.
I was walking towards the elevator in a daze when I suddenly heard a heart-wrenching cry from a room:
"Don't hide me! I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again! Please, please! I can do anything as long as the company doesn't hide me, I can do anything! Really, I can do anything..."
Then came the middle-aged man's scolding: "What are you doing? What are you doing?! Hurry up and put on your clothes!"
The voice in front was obviously He Zhuoyan's.
Zhao Liying's already broken heart seemed to have encountered extreme cold and became extremely cold.
Just now, as a worker, she first thought of being fired. But after hearing He Zhuoyan's crying, she realized that for an artist, there are more terrible punishments than being fired.
Five years!
I have signed a five-year contract with Huayi. If I am kept in the dark for these five years, by the time the contract expires, the popularity I have accumulated through the draft will definitely disappear completely.
After missing out on my best years, can I still make it in this industry? !
My body and mind, which had already fallen to the bottom, began to fall again, and fall...
Hey~
The elevator door in front of her opened, and Zhao Liying subconsciously stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the door like a zombie.
"Xiao Zhao, Zhao Liying!"
At this moment, the receptionist suddenly called her. She turned around blankly and heard the receptionist remind her, "Your phone is ringing."
Only then did Zhao Liying realize that the cell phone in her bag was ringing. Thinking of what the trainee supervisor had said, her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't even open the zipper.
It wasn't until the phone stopped ringing that she took out her cell phone and hurriedly dialed back.
The phone rang for about seven or eight seconds, but it felt like seven or eight years to her, and her heart seemed to be beating back and forth between being fired and being blacklisted.
"Hello~"
When she heard the man's voice on the phone, she was so nervous that she couldn't speak.
Until the person on the other side took the initiative to introduce himself: "I am Xu Kun."
"Director Xu?!!"
Zhao Liying's sudden sharp voice startled the receptionist. She had felt that something was wrong with her just now, and now it was more like she was looking at a psycho.
but……
She seems to be talking about Director Xu?
"Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Xu Kun's ears were buzzing on the other end of the phone. After a pause, he asked, "Why didn't you explain clearly when the company sent someone to question you? You were so vague that people misunderstood that you had a relationship with me?"
"me……"
Zhao Liying swallowed subconsciously. Although she was still extremely nervous, her mood, which had almost collapsed, had completely revived.
Who is Director Xu?
It couldn't be that he personally informed me that I was going to be shelved by the company, right?
In other words, there is still hope!
Thinking of this, Zhao Liying took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Director Xu, I have thought clearly about what you reminded me that day. If you want to stand out in this circle, it is indeed most important to have someone above you!"
