Chapter 133: Enter the entertainment industry
Entertainment reporters flocked to the press conference of "That Summer".
Lin Hui stood with the female first Li Xiao, the male Zhang Chenyi, the second male Xu Zhe, and the old actors Zhang Ping and Li Bei who made special cameos. In front of them are the big and small media who are entertaining gossip and film and television news.
Lin Huika was the youngest and the youngest. She was disliked by everyone in the past few years, so she stood on the edge. The media were mainly concentrated in front of the male No. 1, the female No. 1 and the male No. 2, and the microphones could not be squeezed in front of them.
The female first Li Xiao is the queen of TV drama ratings, the male Zhang Chenyi is the "husband" in the eyes of female audiences, and Xu Zhe used to be a popular idol singer, but now he is working in film and television.
The male number two is much more popular than her female number two. With his comic face and dance, he has dumped countless wife fans.
A very real problem in the film and television industry is that the status and commercial value of male actors are generally higher than that of actresses, so the remuneration is also higher. The highest paid male actor must be paid more than the highest paid female actress. This is the case in China, and the same is true in Hollywood.
This also led to the commercial considerations of the crew, how to allocate the production fee. For example, the salary of her second female lead was not even a fraction of that of the male second. They would be willing to pay more for a charismatic second male who the female audience would love.
Who says being an actor is just for dreams? If you have a dream, you have to eat first.
The old actor Zhang Ping also has a lot of microphones, because this kind of old actor with good kung fu is also popular now, which can add a lot to the drama.
Zhang Ping was very embarrassed to see Lin Hui standing alone on the edge, and gave her a microphone.
Lin Hui did not look at which media's microphone, and was also moved by the character of this old actor.
Suddenly I heard a reporter shout, "Lin Hui, microphone!"
Lin Hui thought that the other party wanted to ask her a question, so she quickly put the microphone in front of her. She had worked as a professional top host and reporter, and she had absolutely no problem dealing with gossip reporters.
"Microphone..." The other party emphasized again.
The man winked and didn't make it clear, and Lin Hui didn't understand what she meant.
Lin Hui took the microphone and looked at it, thinking that the microphone was faulty, until the other party suddenly pounced on it and snatched the microphone from her hand, Lin Hui was stunned. But seeing that female entertainment reporter squeezed hard into the crowd, squatted down, eagerly, flattered, and respectfully raised the microphone in front of the first male, first female and second male who could hardly hold so many microphones, just like listening to a saint same sound.
Only then did Lin Hui understand what the phrase "microphone" meant. This is to ask her to return the microphone to her, not to occupy her microphone. Lin Hui who is not popular is not qualified to take her microphone, and Lin Hui who is not popular has no attractive entertainment news.
Although this was very embarrassing, Lin Hui still insisted on standing there, even if standing dryly like a joke.
After the reporters interviewed the big stars, the media also asked two more popular old actors who were present, but did not ask her.
…
Chu Fan stood at the door of the conference room where reporters were entertained.
His "this life" identity is the eldest son of Chu Junhao, chairman of Kaile Group, but in fact, Chu Junhao was supported by him more than 20 years ago. Now the Chu family also worships him. Although he has half of the blood of a vegetarian blood family, he is still a member of the Xuanmen, and the members of the Xuanmen will accept the worship of some families.
But today's China is also different from the past. Business is developing rapidly. The identity of "Chu Fan" is in its prime. He also went out to do business himself, and established the Jinfeng Group in partnership with the elite among ordinary people.
Jinfeng Group attaches great importance to film and television production. Now the company is investing in the production of two TV series and two movies.
A TV drama is a costume drama, and it is not shot locally. The background of this fashion drama is set in Beijing, and many interior scenes were shot in the company's studio.
Chu Fan asked the producer next to him, "Who ordered the actress?"
Producer Xu Ming saw that he was looking in Lin Hui's direction, and said, "The previous actress was not feeling well, so she replaced her. It's from Beijing Tudou Entertainment Agency."
"What company?" Chu Fan felt that the name of the agency was a bit strange.
Xu Mingdao: "It's a small company co-founded by actor Zhao Yang and broker Zhang Wen. The most popular actor in his name is Sheng Feng, and there are several newcomers. Lin Hui is one of them. This child star Lin Hui has been out for many years. She played Zhao Yang's daughter before. It's just that she was too fat a few years ago, so she is not popular. She is now participating in this play, if she does it well, she can have a gimmick."
Chu Fan smiled and said, "I don't think the media is interested in her."
Producer Xu Ming said, "Does President Chu mean to change people?"
Chu Fan remembered what happened two days ago. She actually went to Xie Haotian to "destroy him", but Xie Haotian took her to his "Jinghua Night Banquet Palace" for dinner, which scared her so much.
She was so nervous that she kept eating, and Chu Fan thought to herself: At that time, she probably judged that if he really was an ogre, she wouldn't be able to run away, and if he wanted to die, he would be a full-fledged ghost.
Chu Fan frowned and said, "You want to replace my friend? Isn't Huihui very fat? If you think she's fat, I'll tell her to eat less."
Xu Ming was dumbfounded: Is Lin Hui a friend of President Chu? My God, didn't Lin Hui say that sooner? He and Director Zhang had deducted 5,000 from her salary for 25,101 episodes.
Their studio is close to the big tree of Jinfeng Group, and they can make a difference. Will Lin Hui speak ill of them in front of Chu Fan, and some of the next project plans will be overturned.
Originally, they thought it was selling Zhao Yang and Zhang Wen a face. Even if they lowered the price, Lin Hui would only be grateful, but now he is a little uneasy.
…
After two days of shooting indoor scenes, I went to Beihai area to shoot exterior scenes.
Lin Hui took the script and went to Deputy Director Li and said, "Director, I want to ask you, this script..."
Deputy Director Li got to know her a little bit. Now that Director Zhang was filming the male and female protagonists, there was no time. Deputy Director Li glanced at her and said, "What's wrong with the script? Can't memorize the lines? Even if we can dub you later, you You can't recite your lines and affect the people you play against."
Deputy Director Li still doesn't know that Lin Hui is "President Chu's friend", and his attitude towards her is the same as before. Director Zhang and Xu Ming knew, but what they were thinking of was Lin Hui or the actor that Assistant Director Li would pick up. Their relationship should be the best, so there is no need to tell him to be gentle with Lin Hui.
Lin Hui said: "It's either that I can't memorize it, or I have a little doubt about the lines."
Deputy Director Li said, "I want you to act well. Do you want to revise the script? Want to steal the show?"
Lin Hui shook his head and said, "No. There is also a long series of lines here, which are a bit like monologues, too literary and not life-like; in addition, the lines here have the same meaning before and after, there is no need to go back and forth, there is no one in normal life. Did you speak then?"
Deputy Director Li said: "You can, then you can change your career to be a screenwriter. This is our director Jane's book to be a screenwriter. Are you unable to memorize such a long line, so you want to change it? What repetition, do you understand the drama conflict? "
Lin Hui is quiet now and has no way to do it. Seeing Zhang Ping playing her father, she went over to ask him.
Zhang Ping pondered for a while, and said: "The lines are not speeches, and the more logical and rigorous the better, it depends on the nature of the drama. If it is a historical drama, it is very particular, but this is an idol drama, and idol dramas are It has a unique flavor. Let’s take a step back, is it really impossible to speak like this? When the character is at an emotional point, there is not so much logic. You can use different levels of repeated words in the previous sentence and the latter sentence. The emotions of the actor are revealed and slowly poked into the hearts of the audience. Actors need to perform based on their lines, but the most important thing is that the things from the lines need to be enriched by actors, and actors need to liberate human nature, imagine creating vivid and full people, and then Act it out. You first have to believe it yourself, to experience it...Young actors shouldn't question if they haven't experienced it."
When Lin Hui heard this, she really felt it made sense and said, "Then I'll think about it."
Lin Hui now only has to inherit her predecessor's child star experience and art examination skills. Her former official media reporter is most concerned with the rigorous logic of language and words, which is completely different from being an actor.
The character of the character is quite different from hers, and the experience is also different.
The first man in the play is her fiancé, but she has always been opposed to arranged marriages, but the two are determined to marry. When Wang Yue found out that the first man and the first woman were happy friends and mistakenly thought they were in love, so when the first man and the first woman hated each other, Wang Yue secretly and actively pushed the elders to her fiancé, the first man, and sold them to him. Female one, so that you can get rid of the marriage. She fell in love with the first girl's childhood sweetheart, he was an idol star, but found that the second boy had always been in love with the first girl, and told her that he would not love her. Then she said a long line, which was the one that made Lin Hui feel cumbersome and illogical.
Lovelorn, how long has it been since she experienced this feeling? She always makes men fall out of love. Even if Ling Fei was talked to by her ex-boyfriend's mother, she took the initiative to break up. It was very simple, and the pain was not unbearable.
She suddenly thought of Su Rongrong, her feelings for Chu Liuxiang were repeated, she thought she could give it up, but in the end she couldn't give it up, the pain made her unable to control herself. Wang Yue really wanted to express her sincerity to her sweetheart, and wanted to get love. Like Su Rongrong, she let go of her self-esteem, but at the same time hit her hard. At this time, she had a self-protection mentality, and the complicated and painful struggle completely disrupted her logic, and she repeatedly said similar words in a paragraph. This is also a possible situation.
Seeing that it was not her turn to play, Lin Hui found a place to ponder, thinking that she was a woman like Su Rongrong, who looked perfect, but it was difficult to get love. She was heartbroken by Chu Liuxiang, she wanted to let go but couldn't.
Lin Hui created characters by imagining and incorporating the same sentimental elements as Su Rongrong. After the second shot, Director Zhang said "yes" with satisfaction. Zhang Ping watched her performance on the side, and also felt that the actor learned very quickly, and he made progress with just a few clicks, and he was very malleable.
…
The mountains near XX Film and Television City are also often borrowed by major crews to shoot on location, so that the crew can avoid running around and save a lot of money.
Early in the morning, Yu Lu woke up from the mountain and suddenly found that her hands were full of blood and there was a mummified corpse beside her. She couldn't help but take three steps back.
She suddenly remembered everything that happened last night, she... She really ate Zhou Chun, the heroine of "The Swordsman Record"! After Yu Lu was "reborn", it was fine for the first few days, but after a week, she felt that she was very eager for blood and imagined the deliciousness of human hearts. On the one hand, her human reason felt that those things were disgusting, but on the other hand, that kind of ** always urged her to find blood and heart to eat.
When she couldn't control it, she secretly found a sheep to eat, because she has superhuman strength, she can be invisible.
But after eating the sheep, it only lasted a week, and she craved it again.
When filming "The Swordsman Record", she and the popular actress Zhou Chun were treated one in the sky and one in the ground. Zhou Chun has a special nanny car to pick up and drop off, and an independent dressing room. The whole crew is very enthusiastic about Zhou Chun, but they ignore her, which makes Yu Lu feel more and more different.
The day before yesterday, when the two of them played against each other, because Zhou Chun had a lot of lines, Zhou Chun's performance was very good, but the lines were missing a sentence, and Yu Lu did not pick up. The director scolded Yu Lu a few words, and Yu Lu argued: "It was Sister Chun who said the wrong line, and I didn't pick it up. What should I say?"
The director said, "She is wrong, but her performance is OK. You guys also play tricks on the spot to continue. It's up to me to decide whether to use the wrong lines."
Yu Lu was not convinced, and said, "So, you are blaming me even though you know she said the wrong lines?"
The director said, "I don't want to blame you. But as an actor, I didn't say stop, the actor must have the ability to continue the trick. I tell you now, I hope you don't forget it in the future, and have more on-the-spot ability."
Zhou Chun came to mediate at that time and said, "Director, I'm sorry, it's actually my fault."
The director smiled and said to Zhou Chun: "There are many wrong and wrong scenes in film and television dramas. You have so many lines and you shoot so many scenes in one day. It's normal to remember one or two sentences wrong."
Zhou Chun came over and pretended to apologize to her. The director also said, "What are you apologizing to? We teach her a new talent and she doesn't listen."
Later, Yu Lu had a good ear, and even heard the creators talk about her behind her back, that she would not be chosen to play the second female lead if she knew earlier, there are many newcomers who want to get this opportunity. Zhou Chun didn't act like he did in front of her among the main creators, but just joked on the side.
Zhou Chun is wrong and right. The most brilliant plays are given to Zhou Chun, and the best service is also on Zhou Chun. She is praised by all the stars. And she was trampled on Lu Lu, right or wrong, even the lunch box was cold, she acted so hard, no one saw her, and she said that she would be replaced.
[Actually, they are just a group of ants in front of you. 】
【Do you want to kill her? 】
[Kill her, and she will no longer be able to be proud in front of you. 】
[Let her heart and blood pay back what she owes you, this is her mistake. 】
[She has more than enough to die for. 】
Such thoughts can't be stopped, and the ** who eats the heart and drinks the blood will drive her crazy. When many reporters visited the class the day before, Zhou Chun was praised by the stars, and Yu Lu was ignored. In the interview, Zhou Chun said good things about the director, the first male, the second male and the friends who cameo in the play, but did not mention her.
This made Yu Lu's hatred reach a critical point, and she could no longer restrain herself from eating her **.
After dinner last night, the crew went back to their rooms to rest. She sneaked in from the hotel balcony and caught Zhou Chun out.
Something like tentacles came out of her mouth, pierced Zhou Chun's chest, entered her aorta, drained her essence and blood, and then took out her heart and ate it.
After eating Zhou Chun, Yu Lu felt that she was very supportive, but very comfortable. She fell asleep. When she woke up and saw Zhou Chun's mummified corpse, she realized that she was afraid.
Human consciousness made her understand how terrifying cannibalism is.
After she was reborn, what was in her body?
…
"It's really a heart-eating worm." Ma Chengyi inspected the mummified corpse. The chest of the mummified corpse was drilled, the blood was drained, and the heart was dug out.
The footprints near the scene have also been destroyed, and the heart eater has the magic of evil cultivation, so it is difficult to scout from a human perspective.
Xie Haotian brought Jiang Yuqian and Su Jinyun over and said, "We have gathered the crew of "The Swordsman Record". You have a way to identify who has a problem... I mean, do you think the heart eater is among these people?"
Ma Chengyi said: "These people are the most suspicious, but I'm not sure. Heart-eating worms use human skin as their skin, and the host's soul and flesh are still alive. It is difficult for us to find the breath of heart-eating worms."
Xie Haotian sighed and said, "You asked me to fight, and I didn't say a word. You asked me to recognize a heart-eating worm, but I couldn't do anything. You can't beat a mortal who doesn't have a heart-eating worm on his body."
Jiang Yuqian said: "Boss, do hundreds of people in a crew have to be interrogated carefully? Is that useful? Heartworms have mana, and the surveillance, fingerprints, and DNA of the police in handling cases are not reliable."
At this moment, Xie Haotian's mobile phone received information from the hotel police officer, which was the resumes and identities of the entire crew.
He has a speed that surpasses ordinary people, and after a while, he stays on a resume.
"XX Drama Academy?"
Ma Chengyi asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Xie Haotian said: "Lin Hui is also from this school, in the same grade and class."
"So coincidentally?"
…
The crew of "The Swordsman" was in a panic. At this time, the police gathered so many people together. Even if everyone was dissatisfied, they still hoped to catch the murderer.
"I heard that Zhou Chun died very strangely, like it was made of dirty things."
"No way?"
"Really, Brother Li and the others saw it with their own eyes when they went to set up the shooting scene. I heard that they were all drained of blood and their hearts were dug up. It was found that this kind of case could not be solved locally. The people from the special police department in Beijing were like this It's almost here. If it weren't for the seriousness of this case, would there be such efficiency?"
"Zhou Chun is really pitiful. These past few years have been the time of great popularity. There are many good days to come, and he just died like this."
"I'm even more pitiful. I haven't had a good life at all, and I'm still a chorus."
"You said, what would it be?"
"It won't be a fox spirit, will it?"
"vampire?"
"who knows…"
At this time, Yu Lu's ears were many times more sensitive than ordinary people's, and she couldn't help but get nervous when they put all their discussions into her ears.
She comforted herself again, the police are just ordinary people, how can they find out? It's better for the police to leave it alone. If she really pushes her, she will kill her.
Yu Lu was nervous for a day, but the police just asked each of them three or four questions before closing the team.
The heroine died less than halfway through the filming of "The Swordsman", and the crew had to suspend, which now requires changing roles and re-planning investment. The original budget and shooting schedule would definitely no longer work. The producers, directors, and actors all felt very sad, but there was nothing they could do.
Yu Lu could only go back to school, and her mood was very complicated. On the one hand, she understood that Zhou Chun's death put the drama on hold and dragged down her future; on the other hand, Zhou Chun really hated her, she should be damned; **I can't control it at all; on the last side, she is delighted with her super power, she can sneak in silently, can be powerful, and can fly.
In the end, she comforted herself that she has such superpowers, and she doesn't need to be an actor to make money at all. Who can stop her in this world? Humans are nothing but her food, and by eating them, her power will become stronger.
