Chapter 400 400. Competition

A certain community is famous for the gathering of celebrities, not only because the houses here are of excellent quality, but also because the environment here is private and security is in place, so the privacy of the celebrities is guaranteed.

Huang Xiaoming's apartment is also here.

This is a three-bedroom and one-living house that the company rented for him. It is very stylishly decorated. As long as Huang Xiaoming can fulfill the six-year contract normally, this house will be given to him.

At this time, not only Huang Xiaoming was at home, but his manager was also there.

His agent at this time was named Huang Liang, Huayi's gold medal agent, who was assigned to Huang Xiaoming, and it was obvious that the company valued the actor.

In fact, the number one brother of Huayi is now Nie Wei on the surface, but Nie Wei has long transcended the level of an artist. Therefore, among male actors, Huang Xiaoming is already the number one person under Nie Wei of Huayi, and he is also the number one brother that everyone is optimistic about. successor.

Since Huang Liang can be Huayi's gold medal agent, he is naturally capable. He is very good at communication, is kind and loyal, and has a good reputation in the circle. Everyone in the company also has a good impression of him. And these good impressions are also his capital and the key to his competition for resources.

Just like today, the meeting for "Twenty Again" had just ended and he got the news. At the meeting, Nie Wei nominated two leading actors, including Huang Xiaoming. What made him even more delighted was that , the heroine Lin Yifei also chose Huang Xiaoming, but in the end it was a pity that Nie Wei did not make a decision immediately, but chose to audition.

Huang Liang couldn't influence Nie Wei's decision, and he didn't dare to influence it, but he could increase the impression of his artist from the side.

So after he got the news, he immediately called Luo Kai, the current Huayi agent, and wanted to invite Nie Wei to dinner.

But unfortunately, Luo Kai called back in less than five minutes, and Nie Wei refused directly.

"Brother, what did I do wrong?" Huang Liang asked Luo Kai cautiously on the phone. What an agent fears most is flattering someone and getting slapped on the horse's hooves. That's really good intentions but bad things. Think about it. All heartbroken.

"That's it? Nie Wei has been really busy recently. There is too much film preparation work. He is so busy that he has no time. By the way, Nie Wei also asked me to give Xiao Ming a message, telling him to read the script carefully, act well, and audition. Try to perform well when the time comes.”

"Okay, I will bring Mr. Nie's words." After hanging up the phone, Huang Liang returned to the living room and saw Huang Xiaoming watching TV with relish.

Huang Liang didn't say anything immediately. Instead, he walked over and picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.

"Don't look at it, why are you so big-hearted?" Huang Liang said angrily.

"What's wrong, Brother Liang?" Huang Xiaoming scratched the back of his head and asked with some confusion. Just now, Huang Liang was excitedly telling himself that he had good news, but why did he turn around and become so serious?

How could he know that Huang Liang was so happy at first because he thought that Nie Wei would be the leading actor in the new movie? But now it seems different. When Lin Yifei was leaning towards Huang Xiaoming, Nie Wei still had to audition. Although it seemed fair on the surface, No matter how you look at it, you are leaning more towards Cheng Kun.

"Cheng Kun is your classmate, right?" Huang Liang suddenly remembered that Cheng Kun was a classmate of the person in front of him, so he immediately asked: "What do you think of his acting skills? Just compare with you."

Hearing this question, Huang Xiaoming looked a little embarrassed and hesitated for a while before answering: "Absolutely."

"You're being sloppy with me. Are you serious? Please answer more seriously." Huang Liang saw that Huang Xiaoming didn't mean what he said and was obviously lying. At the same time, his heart sank. After all, if Huang Xiaoming was better at acting than Cheng Kun, he would His character has already been revealed.

"Brother, there are many aspects to acting. In some aspects I am not as good as Cheng Kun, but in others I feel that I am no worse than him." Huang Xiaoming said with a hint of reluctance, admitting that it was very unpleasant to be worse than his classmates in acting. Yes, Cheng Kun is indeed a little better than me in terms of acting skills.

Huang Liang didn't ask any more questions, because Huang Xiaoming's answer made him realize the reality.

At this time, he also revealed the reason for asking, and told Huang Xiaoming that Nie Wei was going to audition the two of them.

"Nie Wei proposed two people, you and Cheng Kun. Although I haven't received the movie script yet, I heard it is very good and the creativity is great. Nie Wei's last movie was all about creativity. You know it, so I think We should seize this opportunity. In fact, Lin Yifei also thinks that you are more suitable for this role, but Nie Wei finally decided to audition, which is why I asked you to compare your acting skills with him."

"Cheng Kun has been playing supporting roles since his accident, right? The company's top management agreed that he should play the leading role?" Huang Xiaoming asked in confusion.

"There must be objections from the company's senior management, but the director of this drama is Nie Wei, and he wants to use Cheng Kun. Who dares to object?

"That's right." Huang Xiaoming thought for a while and felt that this made sense.

"Don't think so much. The most important thing now is how to impress Nie Wei in the audition. Check your mailbox first to see if the script has been delivered?" Huang Liang said as he walked towards the bedroom with the computer. Huang Xiaoming was startled at first when he saw this. , then immediately stood up and ran quickly towards the bedroom, surpassing Huang Liang who left first, leaving Huang Liang stunned for a moment.

When Huang Liang entered the room, he realized that Huang Xiaoming was folding the quilt.

"Really don't need me to find you a housekeeper?" Huang Liang didn't bother about Huang Xiaoming's hygiene. As a single man, it's inevitable that he's a little sloppy. It's understandable. Just pay attention to your image when you go out. After all, celebrities are all about face.

Huang Xiaoming did a good job in this regard. He never let the media catch his sloppy side. His idol status is still perfect.

"No, I'm used to being alone. I don't think it's convenient to have a housekeeper." Huang Xiaoming quickly packed up the bedding and answered by the way.

In fact, this question is not the first time Huang Liang has asked it, but Huang Xiaoming refused every time. The main reason is that he really feels inconvenient. He is a bit of a homebody. He doesn't like strangers entering his home. He feels like his territory is invaded.

The two didn't talk much about this. After all, the movie is the focus.

Opening the mailbox, it is gratifying that the company is very efficient. The script was really sent over, and they quickly downloaded it. After completing it, the first thing the two did was to immediately look at the introduction of the music director role.

"Tan Ming, 30 years old, music director, stylish and handsome, with a cool personality, loves music, and his colleagues have very high requirements for music, which can be called picky..."

"Brother, isn't this role a bit of a vase?" Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but say after reading the introduction.

"Well, this movie seems to be centered around the heroine. She is the hero, but she doesn't have many scenes. I don't think she is as good as the old man." Huang Liang replied. To be honest, he was very disappointed at the moment, but it was impossible to say that he was not interested. Even if she was a vase, as long as the movie was successful, Huang Xiaoming could also benefit from it.

The most typical example is Song Zuer in "Speeding Scandal". This little girl was just a vase in "Speeding Scandal". There was no airport in the play, and no lines at all, but she became popular after the movie was released.

Although this role has a strong vase atmosphere, it is at least suitable for actors to act cool and handsome. Moreover, Huang Xiaoming is also good at this aspect. He may not be worse than Cheng Kun. He may even be better than Cheng Kun. After all, the two have different career paths. Huang Xiaoming is now a male star promoted by Huayi. His aura is very special. With his special appearance, he has a great chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Huang Liang couldn't help laughing. At the same time, he put his arm around Huang Xiaoming's shoulders and said happily: "This is the role. This role is good. President Nie nominated you. He really has a good eye."

Huang Xiaoming was a little depressed. How can a vase role nominate him as a person with good eyes? Doesn't it mean that he has no acting skills? Huang Xiaoming disagreed. He felt that although he was not as good as Cheng Kun, as a member of the Beijing Electric Golden Class 96, his acting skills were actually quite good.

After Huang Liang was overjoyed, he also noticed Huang Xiaoming's strange expression, and he immediately understood, but he didn't think he was wrong. He pointed at the role and asked Huang Xiaoming: "Just tell me if you can win this role over Cheng Kun."

"Yes!" Huang Xiaoming answered confidently this time.

At the same time, in another community, Cheng Kun was saying almost the same thing.

"To be a little narcissistic, my image is not worse than Huang Xiaoming. In terms of acting, although I haven't played an important role in the past two years, perhaps because of the change in my mentality, I think my acting skills have been honed and improved. Brother Wang, if you don't believe me, you can look through some of my recent roles. I can do both. The only thing I lack is reputation. But I believe in President Nie. If he dares to sign me, he will definitely dare to use me." Cheng Kun said to his new agent very seriously.

Cheng Kun was really surprised by this sudden opportunity. He never expected that he would have a chance to play the leading role in a movie just after he switched to a new company. The most important thing is that this leading role is not an ordinary movie, but Nie Wei's new movie. It seems that Nie Wei's words about appreciating his acting skills were not a lie, and he gave him the opportunity so quickly.

Cheng Kun was very grateful for this.

While being grateful, he wanted to seize this opportunity more and more. This was the first time in two years that he seemed to see the dawn of his future, and he even risked his life for it.

"Then read the script carefully, and I will help you get the news from the company." Lao Wang didn't say much. Cheng Kun had the confidence to fight, so he tried his best to help, even though he was just an ordinary agent of Huayi Company.

Because of time constraints, Lao Wang didn't stay for long and left soon, and Cheng Kun wanted to go back to the bedroom to study the script after informing his wife, but was stopped by his wife.

"The script is there, you don't need this little time. We got such good news today, we must celebrate."

"I'll celebrate after I get the role, believe me." Facing his wife's suggestion, Cheng Kun shook his head and hugged his wife. Cheng Kun immediately turned back to the bedroom. He didn't want to delay for a minute or a second. He must understand this script thoroughly and play this role to life.

That night, Cheng Kun's wife fell asleep in the child's room, and the light in Cheng Kun's bedroom was on until four o'clock in the morning of the next day.

The two competed fiercely for a role, and Nie Wei's topic also revolved around the two.

"I really feel more comfortable acting with Brother Xiao Ming." Lin Yifei looked at Nie Wei calmly and answered.

"Don't change the concept." Nie Wei knocked on the girl's forehead. It was obvious that he was mainly asking about the girl's attitude towards Cheng Kun, and Lin Yifei was obviously avoiding this answer.

Facing Nie Wei's questioning, Lin Yifei struggled for a moment, but still admitted that she really didn't want to act with Cheng Kun.

"Is it because of what happened at the beginning? Or is it because you are afraid of being robbed of the limelight?" Nie Wei asked.

"Both." Lin Yifei replied bachelorly.

"But Cheng Kun's acting skills are better, and you can learn more from him. After all, a good actor also needs a good opponent, just like in "Speed ​​Scandal". If Shu Chang didn't have Xu Zheng to lead her, she would be so good Are you comfortable and unrestrained?”

"As for stealing the limelight, you don't have to worry about it. I'm the director. In the end, this play still has to listen to me."

"Do you really want Cheng Kun to come?" Nie Wei said a lot. After finishing, Lin Yifei tilted her head and asked instead of saying what she thought.

Nie Wei was also startled by this question.

But he soon came to his senses, nodded calmly, and admitted: "I am more optimistic about Cheng Kun. He is a natural movie actor. Huang Xiaoming is also good, but not as good as Cheng Kun."

Although Nie Wei has never seen Huang Xiaoming's works in this life, in another time and space, he still has some understanding of the development of these two people. Commercially, Huang Xiaoming is higher, but in terms of reputation in the industry, Cheng Kun is undoubtedly better Okay, and as a director, he naturally hopes to choose an actor with better acting skills who will also be easy to use.

As for Cheng Kun's current reputation issue, just as Cheng Kun thought, since Nie Wei dared to sign him, he was not afraid to use him. Moreover, Nie Wei believed that the biggest box office appeal of this movie was himself. No matter how famous the leading actor or something is, Can you be higher than yourself?

"Then just choose him. Why are you asking me?" Lin Yifei asked angrily.

"I respect your suggestion, so I decided to audition. When the time comes, you will also come and compare them on the spot. Then choose whichever one you think is better." Nie Wei said.

He felt that if Lin Yifei still insisted on choosing Huang Xiaoming after seeing the roles interpreted by the two, then Nie Wei would respect her idea. After all, this drama is mainly about the heroine, and the most important thing is that Lin Yifei is comfortable filming.

Lin Yifei listened to Nie Wei's words and nodded obediently.

The matter was finalized for the time being. Lin Yifei quickly left Nie Wei's lounge and prepared to go home to read the script, because Nie Wei said that she would also appear on the day of the audition and have a scene with both of them. , experience it for yourself before making a decision.

Girls don't want to behave badly when the time comes, it would be too embarrassing.

After seeing off Lin Yifei, Nie Wei returned to the lounge. Just as he was about to pack up and go home, his cell phone rang again. When he took it out, Nie Wei couldn't help but feel happy. The caller turned out to be Zhang Jizhong. It seemed that the person on the other end had not received the call. Great news.

Thanks to Kai Zi for the 1,000 reward, and thanks to Ming Yuan Di Shu and two book friends for their generous support.
