Superstar Aspirations Chapter 3:

Published:

When Rong Xu came out of the dressing room, several nearby staff members made a clear exclamation sound.

Regardless of men and women, in the eyes of anyone, a handsome and elegant young man in white is a yearning for him, and he can’t help but focus his attention on him. Not to mention, this young man himself has a relatively close aura, not as cold and arrogant as many big stars, and he has gained a lot of people’s favor at once.

In general, humans are still a visual animal.

Luo Zhentao deeply felt that if what he had met was this Rongxu in front of him, he could not help but regard the other person as a friend instead of just a pure interest relationship as before, and he did not put the other person in the dark at all. .

Now that you have put on your makeup and costumes, it is an audition for Rong Xu.

“Chasing the Deer” is a big project invested by China Entertainment this year. The director is Guo Long, the best director in the domestic TV drama circle, the heroine is the ratings panacea Tang Menglan, and the male protagonist is also a popular niche, with a bunch of crazy fans. The investment of the crew is close to 300 million, and more than 100 million is spent on costumes and props.

“Chasing the Deer” tells the story of a turbulent time, when a group of heroes fight for the world.

In this world, the three kingdoms of Liang, Wei, and Chu stand in harmony, occupying all the right time and place. The main line of the story takes place in the Kingdom of Chu. The protagonist Xie Jingxian is the prince of the Kingdom of Chu. However, after a great war between the Kingdom of Chu and the Kingdom of Liang nine years ago, the Kingdom of Chu was defeated. .

The prince was young and had the ambition to dominate the world, so Chu began a long battle of resistance and conquest.

Different from other troubled times, the heroine Xiao Xiang played by Tang Menglan is not the love factor of the traditional TV series. She undertakes not only the love part of the film, but also the main component of the plot line——

Xiao Xiang is a famous female general of Chu!

The Xiao family has been loyal for generations. In the war nine years ago, the four brothers of the Xiao family and General Xiao all died on the battlefield. Xiao Xiang, who was only thirteen years old, carried the banner of the Xiao family and led the Xiao family’s army. From then on, there was no Miss Xiao family in the world, only General Xiao.

So the plot line and the love line came for granted. Xie Jingxian and Xiao Xiang slowly grew in love with each other, but neither of them showed it. For them, Chu is more important now.

The status of the State of Chu is precarious. Only by seeking hegemony can it avoid the possibility of being annexed by the other two great powers.

Wan Chengyao played by Rong Xu came on stage under such circumstances.

There are rumors in the world that the one who wins Wanqi wins the world. Mr. Wanqi has lived in Yunmengze for a long time and set up three chess games. The game solver can enter the pavilion to explore, but no one in the world has solved the second game, let alone the legendary third game.

Chu’s national power is declining, but it has fertile land and wealth accumulated over the past century. It cares about Liang Guo more than those small countries. No matter how resourceful and resourceful Xie Jingxian is, and how brave and good at fighting Xiao Xiang are, with the power of the two of them, they will not be able to change the backwardness of Chu in a short period of time.

So on this day, a small boat sailed onto Yunmengze and stopped in front of Wangqiu Pavilion.

The heroic female general led more than 20 chess players from the Kingdom of Chu to the Wangqiu Pavilion.

It happened that Tang Menglan was also there today, so the audition was set for the first encounter between Wan Tongyao and Xiao Xiang.

Here director Guo Long was checking the final character image with the deputy director. When he heard a gasp, Director Guo turned his first look and suddenly saw the boy in white. Director Guo brightened his eyes and nodded in satisfaction. After Rong Xu walked up to him, he looked up and down several times before beckoning to Tang Menglan, “Menglan, is it okay to deal with the scene?”

Tang Menglan smiled and nodded: “No problem.”

After all, he was preparing to take a makeup photo, so Tang Menglan also put on a strong outfit and put on makeup.

Rong Xu discovered Luo Zhentao at this time. He smiled and nodded at Luo Zhentao. A meaningful color flashed in his eyes, and he quickly converged again, without being noticed by Luo Zhentao.

However, Luo Zhentao was in a trance at the moment, where he noticed Rong Xu.

The image of Rong Xu is even more suitable than Zhong Yi, which is so approved by Director Guo. If he were Rong Xu’s agent, he had already thought of several ways to lift this young man up, and at least he would be able to lift him to the second line within half a year!

“Don’t worry, I’m all in costumes and makeup, and with Tang Menglan, that Rong Xu will definitely be able to perform well.” I don’t know when, Deputy Director Wang came over and said casually: “This The audition was so simple, it seemed that Director Guo was really satisfied with Rong Xu’s appearance.”

As soon as he heard this, Luo Zhentao’s thoughts suddenly died down.

Luo Zhentao smiled bitterly: “I hope….”

Let Rong Xu be a star? The premise is that he can act!

Maybe in five minutes, Director Guo will furiously let Rong Xu go out.

Luo Zhentao was thinking, over there, the audition has already begun.

It’s time to take makeup photos, and it’s really weird to start the audition at this time. Many people in the crew gathered, and even the male second came over and watched. Director Guo sat casually on the director’s chair, but his eyes were condensed, staring at Tang Menglan and Rong Xu in the center of the set.

As if coming with a cold wind, the stern female general took a big step and quickly walked to the low table. When she sat down cross-legged, her back did not even bend, and the cold and solemn breath instantly swept the audience.

Just listen to Tang Menglan’s calm expression, and coldly said: “Sir, I have solved the second game, I don’t know where the third game is now.”

Just a straight back makes everyone present feel the majesty of a young girl general. Tang Menglan is worthy of being Tang Menglan, and being able to become a panacea for ratings is definitely not a vain name.

Guo Long laughed with satisfaction.

On the side, Luo Zhentao also breathed a sigh of relief: Tang Menglan’s acting skills are very good, and she is definitely in the upper class in the TV series Hua Dan. Presumably playing against such a person, maybe…Rong Xu can also behave a little better?

Thinking about this, Luo Zhentao turned his head to look at Rong Xu. The moment his eyes froze when he saw the other party, Luo Zhentao couldn’t help but stared at the hand of the beautiful jade sculpture, only to see Rong Xu being gently pouring the tea.

His tea pouring is extremely steady, and the clear green tea flows from the jade tea mouth, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. He didn’t seem to hear the words from the other side. He was isolated from the world in white clothes, and his handsome face made him afraid to have any offensive thoughts. He could only see this elegant and calm teenager pouring tea with a faint smile.

An aura of Ruoyouruuowu calmly filled the body, shaking the set.

This is not the coldness and solemnity of a female general, but a kind of peace that is far from the world and sees the world clearly.

It seems that the moment everyone looked at Rong Xu, what they saw was not a young boy, but a hermit who hid the depth and elegance. It’s not an exaggeration to describe it as perfect!

Guo was startled first, then opened his eyes in surprise.

Tang Menglan never thought for a while that she would be shocked by the other’s aura, but she was Tang Menglan after all, and it was only a moment before she came back to her senses. With a calm and beautiful eyebrows, Tang Menglan put her sword on the tea table, making a small noise.

“Sir, dare to ask the third game.”

At this point, Rong Xu has finished making tea. He gently pushed the white porcelain tea cup in front of Tang Menglan with his palm, and when Tang Menglan was about to ask the third time, he raised his eyes to look at the female general.

In an instant, those dark and deep eyes attracted everyone’s attention.

Different from the young appearance, the vicissitudes of life precipitated in these eyes, which made Luo Zhentao startled. Obviously Rongxu is just an underage child, how could he have such deep eyes. Isn’t it… Is his acting so good? !

Is he really going to enjoy food? !

“Twenty people broke the chess together. Does the general feel that something is wrong?” The clear voice was flowing like a stream.

After Tang Menglan was surprised for the first time, she was already on guard and would not lose her temper again. She chuckled coldly and asked, “Sir, did you say that you must break the chess by yourself?”

Rong Xu smiled: “No.”

Tang Menglan naturally said: “Then I can invite many of my Chu players to play together.” As soon as the voice fell, Tang Menglan clapped his hands and said, “Please come in!”

This time, I was planning to call in the twenty cheating players in front of Mr. Wan Tong, and continue to cheat for her and break the third game.

In the script, General Xiao Xiang is such a domineering and solemn person. As a female stream, she led a hundred thousand Xiao family army. If she did not do this, she would not be able to win the support of the soldiers. She is Xiao Xiang, and she is also General Xiao, the last blood of the loyal minister Xiao family.

In the script, after Xiao Xiang clapped his hands, there should be twenty chess players entering Wangqiu Pavilion.

Tang Menglan turned her back to these chess players, still keeping her back straight, but Rong Xu in front of her seemed to see something interesting. His eyes swept across the air, as if he really saw the twenty chess players. When he looked at Tang Menglan again, he gently shook his head and said: “The general thinks that these twenty players can be broken. My third game?”

Tang Menglan stretched out her hand: “But please give it a try!”

Tolerant and unmoving, he looked at her with indifferent and calm eyes. For a long time, he said: “The world has three points, which one is the point.”

Tang Menglan was startled slightly, and then said: “If the united person breaks, it is divided.”

Rong Xu said indifferently: “The divider must unite, and the united unit must divide, but it’s just a vain.”

Tang Menglan hesitated for a moment, and said: “The vicissitudes of life, the world has changed, there is Wangqiu Pavilion on Yunmengze, and there is no Wangqiu Pavilion after a thousand years. But Wangqiu Pavilion will definitely exist, and it will also leave a strong mark in the history books. , Why didn’t Wangqiu Pavilion collapse directly? Anyway, there will be no one after a thousand years.”

Rong Xu stopped.

Suddenly, he raised his right hand, picked up a black stone, and gently placed it on the chessboard in front of him.

Papa——

The chess piece was placed in the Tianyuan position!

Tang Menglan stared at Rong Xu in a daze, only to see the white hermit with a clear smile, and said: “If you solve my two chess games, you can post seven and a half eyes in the third game. The third game is against me. The chess game is here, and the general can hold his pieces.”

Tian Yuan opened his hand, and then posted seven and a half eyes!

Already admit defeat!

At this point, twenty chess players and Wan Tongyao spent a day and night in a row, and finally fought against this world wizard. Xiao Xiang left Wangqiu Pavilion first, and Wan Tongyao stayed here for another three days before getting up and leaving. In the gleaming river, Wangqiu Pavilion was left behind by him. With nothing but a child, he stepped into a chaotic chess game of conflict between the heroes.

This is the case in the script, but it is naturally impossible for Rong Xu to perform the details there. However, when he dropped the chess piece, everyone who had read the script seemed to have seen that scene. Perhaps only this kind of peerless elegance can deduce the indifferent posture of Wan Chenyao’s kind of hermit master.

The audition ended, and there was no sound on the set. After waiting for a few seconds, someone talked in a low voice and sighed.

Guo couldn’t help laughing first, then suddenly he sighed heavily.

Rong Xu and Tang Menglan were still sitting at the low table, and when they heard the director’s sigh, they turned their heads to look at him together. Director Guo looked resentful, and solemnly told: “When the official performance, Rong Xu and Meng Lan, you must keep this state. You can’t make mistakes, you know!”

It turned out to be worried that they might as well audition during the formal performance!

Tang Menglan smiled lightly: “Guo, you can rest assured.”

Guo Guo looked at Rong Xu again: “Where are you, Rong Xu?”

Rong Xu curled his lips and asked, “Guo, have I auditioned yet?”

Guo Guo raised his eyebrows: “I’m still asking, have you ever said that you haven’t?” After saying that, before Rong Xu could react, he laughed himself.

Luo Zhentao has been with Director Guo’s crew twice before, and it is rare for Director Guo to laugh like this. Guo Long has always been serious and unsmiling, and there have been records of swearing and crying actors on the set. Now he can be so happy… It seems that he is very satisfied with the audition just now!

Luo Zhentao’s heart trembled, and suddenly a strange thought came up: Rong Xu, maybe he can really be a good actor?

Next, no one gave Luo Zhentao time to think, and several actors who were present began to take makeup photos.

As long as Rong Xu stands in front of the camera, he can shock the audience, whether it is a single photo or a double photo with Tang Menglan, or a double photo with the male number two, Wan Qianyao’s senior in the plot. , He is the elegant and unique Mr. Wan Zong, who can be called an unparalleled son.

Luo Zhentao quietly followed, watching all the scenes in his eyes.

In the evening, all the makeup photos were taken, and Rong Xu officially signed the contract. After ten days, he can join the crew and shoot his own scenes. Seven days later, it was the start-up ceremony. Rong Xu didn’t have many roles and was not well-known, so it didn’t matter whether he came or not. The director left it to him to choose.

That night, Rong Xu said goodbye to the crew. Several make-up artists who helped him put on makeup also smiled and said goodbye in ten days, and Rong Xu answered with a smile. As soon as he walked out of the studio gate, he saw Luo Zhentao, who had been waiting for him for a while.

Rong Xu calmly said: “Brother Luo.”

When Luo Zhentao heard this voice, he immediately recovered and said: “Eh! Rong Xu, are you… here too?”

Rong Xu did not expose his lies.

The two of them walked outside the film and television city together, and while walking, Luo Zhentao looked for some topics: “The show “Chasing the Deer” is still very good. It is a big production blockbuster for this winter season. It has now been bought by three satellite TVs. Because of copyright, the asking price is quite high, and the price of a single episode broadcast on the Internet is also over 10 million.”

Rong Xu nodded gently: “It’s pretty good.”

Luo Zhentao said again: “I saw your audition today. It was outstanding. I didn’t expect your acting skills to be so good. I remember that the first month of the scene can be completed in this studio, but the next two months For filming, it seems to be going to Hengdian and Xiangshan, as well as some scenic spots for framing. That…… Rong Xu, do you also want to go to Hengdian and scenic spots for your scene?”

Rong Xu was noncommittal, but raised his eyes and looked at Luo Zhentao with a smile.

“It doesn’t seem appropriate to follow the crew alone…” Luo Zhentao was a little older and bolder: “Have you ever thought about… really entering the entertainment industry?”

Rong Xu didn’t answer Luo Zhentao’s question immediately, but he didn’t deny it either. After leaving the studio, Duan’s car has been waiting at the gate for a while. Rong Xu got on the car quickly and invited Luo Zhentao to leave with him. However, Luo Zhentao drove by himself and could only sneer and declined Rong Xu’s kindness. .

Luo Zhentao still felt a little unreal as he watched the car leave. He subconsciously wanted to push his glasses, only to realize that he was wearing contact lenses today.

“Rongxu…Rongxu, really looks like two people from before…”

After getting in the car, Rong Xu slowly closed his eyes, and the smile that had been hanging on his lips gradually disappeared.

The night in city b slowly descended, and the lanterns were beginning to shine, and the lights of Wanjia shined on the delicate and beautiful face of the teenager through the brown window stickers, making this face even more hazy and beautiful.

Rong Xu understood what Luo Zhentao wanted to say, but he couldn’t reply directly to the other party.

According to the memory of the original owner, Luo Zhentao seems to have been busy recently persuading the first-line star under his hand not to quit. Although China Entertainment is good, it is really dazzling. Here, if it is not for the extraordinary talent and superb strength, you will never be a brother, and the best resources will not be in your hands. On the contrary, if you start your own studio and become the boss, you may be able to “prefer your head and not be a phoenix” to gain more room for development.

Rong Xu is not worried that he will be hidden among the many first-line artists of China Entertainment, like the first-line star. But he has to wait. He wants to observe whether Luo Zhentao can serve as a qualified agent. He is also waiting for the first-line star to officially leave China Entertainment, so that Luo Zhentao can be his agent wholeheartedly.

To be a good star, a good agent is essential.

After a short while, the car drove out of the studio and got on the elevated highway. Rong Xu recalled some things he saw during the day, and suddenly heard the steward Duan reminded softly: “Master, the second lady is back.”

Rong Xu was startled, and smiled after a moment: “Okay.”

The old man and the old lady are Rong Xu’s parents, and the second old man and the second lady are his uncle and aunt.

The aunt who had traveled to Europe for three months during his nephew’s hospitalization and hadn’t returned once, finally came back today.
