Chapter 387
"Where does Sister Zixing plan to go?"
On the way to shoot the short film, Lu Yan He called Huang Kairen, chatted about this matter, and asked.
Huang Kairen laughed, "Why are you still asking me about this? One is your agent, one is your girlfriend, shouldn't you go and ask them?"
"It's because of this that it's not easy to ask." Lu Yan He said, "Brother Huang, didn't Sister Zixing tell you?"
"She hasn't decided yet." Huang Kairen said, "Anyway, that's what she told me."
"Okay, not a single message leaked." Lu Yan He laughed.
Huang Kairen: "Anyway, no matter where it is, it's going to you."
"How is that possible." Lu Yan He said, "Then what are you busy with recently?"
"I am preparing a play. This play is a lawyer-themed play. I am observing and learning in a law firm." Huang Kairen said, "I go there to punch in and work every day."
Because *My Own Swordsman* needs to build a Tongfu Inn first, it cannot start filming in the short term, so Huang Kairen took another play that starts filming at the end of the year.
Lu Yan He was surprised, "So awesome, Brother Huang, is your experience of life too in place? A bit exaggerated."
Huang Kairen: "I am not afraid of your jokes. I am quite fond of pondering acting now. In the past, in order to maintain my exposure and stay in the audience's sight, I filmed one play after another, didn't dare to stop. Now there is no such urgency, so I started to film slowly. In the past, it felt like I was constantly rushing to the scene."
"Waiting for you to win the Best Actor." Lu Yan He laughed, "Then you must treat me to a big meal."
"Okay." Huang Kairen said, "If I really win the Best Actor, I will treat you to a big meal. We haven't gathered for a long time. You are not filming now, you are busy attending classes every day? When are you free, I will find you for a meal."
"Okay." Lu Yan He said, "But not these two days, I have to shoot a short film these two days."
"Shoot what short film?"
"It's the script of *Rouge* before. Didn't you not act? They didn't find other suitable male actors, so they let me try, but we all felt that it might not be suitable, so we wanted to shoot a short film first to see." Lu Yan He said, "This was proposed by Sister Zixing, she set up the game."
Huang Kairen: "You go to act in *Rouge*? Yan He, are you sure? Have you thought about it clearly? It's not that I'm making excuses for myself, the image of this character is really not very good, you act with great risk. Because of *Late Spring*, you have become the dream boyfriend of many girls. By the time *Rouge* is released, maybe you will be thrown banana peels."
Lu Yan He understood what Huang Kairen meant.
"Brother Huang, I know, I am still pondering it myself." He said, "But this story... to be honest, I really think this will become a very classic movie. Classic movies, regardless of whether the characters are good or bad, are artistic and aesthetic. Even characters with moral flaws will have artistry and character." Huang Kairen, if you have nothing to do, why not come and see our short film shooting scene."
Huang Kairen: "Ah?"
"Does the law firm work on weekends?"
"They work overtime quite seriously."
"But you don't have to punch in there, right?" Lu Yan He sincerely invited, "You come to the short film scene and see. Actually, you are really suitable, Brother Huang. Maybe after you see our performance on the scene, you will have different feelings and change your mind."
"What do you mean, you don't still want me to act in this movie, right?"
"If you change your mind, why not?" Lu Yan He said, "I am looking for the most suitable actor for this script. In my heart, you are the most suitable actor."
Huang Kairen took a deep breath and said: "Yan He, I really don't know how to answer what you said. Sigh, if it wasn't for such a character, I would have agreed immediately. I know, he is a very rich character and has a lot of performance space, but, I... I will just say it directly. My acting skills are not good enough to make me not care about the market's positioning of my image. If this play makes me positioned as a scum by many people, it will cause a big blow to my career. From the beginning of my debut, I have actually taken a very positive image route. The more actors who take this route, the less they dare to try villains easily, especially this kind of villain involving moral and emotional betrayal."
Huang Kairen's words were sincere.
However, although Lu Yan He understood, he still didn't give up, "It doesn't matter, you can stick to your attitude, but you can come to visit our class, right? There is not only me here, but also Sister Zixing."
Xin Zixing is checking every place on the set.
She has never seriously led a set before.
Although it is said that this set is actually done by the team that Director Wang Zhong has cooperated with for many years, as the general person in charge of the multi-party connection of this project, she also has to manage everything and master everything.
That little unhappiness of Ye Mai Net has been thrown behind her.
She has made up her mind in her heart, just waiting to finish the work at hand as soon as possible, and she can leave when the time is right.
Director Wang Zhong also wandered around every corner of the set very carefully, checking every place.
He has very high requirements for props, so high that Xin Zixing feels a bit incredible.
Especially emphasizing texture.
"Zixing, this time thanks to you doing so much detailed work in front, everything is so smooth." Wang Zhong thanked her.
"Director, don't be polite to me. I also want to thank you for giving me such an opportunity to see the world in such a good crew." Xin Zixing said, "Anyway, if there is anything uncomfortable in the process and details, you can tell me at any time, and I will coordinate and solve it."
Wang Zhong waved his hand.
This time, not to mention anything else, the shooting budget, cooperation mode, specific requirements, etc., Xin Zixing handled them in a crisp and neat way without dragging mud and water, which also made Wang Zhong feel a very rare feeling of shooting without worries.
You know, Wang Zhong faced all kinds of problems when filming any play before. These problems also need him to come forward to solve them to a certain extent.
At this time, Chen Bige came.
"Director, Zixing." She greeted them, "Hasn't Yan He come yet?" "Still on the way." Xin Zixing said, "It will take about half an hour."
Chen Bige said: "Okay, then I'll go to makeup first."
Xin Zixing nodded.
Chen Bige's makeup here takes about two hours.
After all, just this hair of hers has to be permed for dozens of minutes.
Xin Zixing was about to follow Chen Bige to take a look when her phone suddenly rang.
"After Yan He told me these things, I am a little shaken again now, my heart is a little chaotic, do you think I should take this play *Rouge*?" Huang Kairen asked his girlfriend.
Xin Zixing stood behind several stacked apple boxes and said: "If you ask for my opinion, I will naturally feel that you should take it. Leaving aside this character, Director Wang Zhong, Chen Bige as the heroine, such a cooperative opponent, if you don't cooperate, won't you regret it in the future?"
"What if my acting career is ruined because of this play?" Huang Kairen asked.
Xin Zixing said: "What are you afraid of? There is still *My Own Swordsman* waiting for you to film later. The sitcom written by Lu Yan He, the script has been seen by the industry and is called a very awesome script. Even if *Rouge* really ruins your acting image, isn't there *My Own Swordsman* to cover you? I feel that you are too timid now, just like you were two or three years ago. In order to win an award, you become hesitant to take plays, and you are scrupulous about everything, but you miss some good scripts. You have said this yourself, right?"
Huang Kairen was silent.
"Lu Yan He is quite right. If you are hesitant, then you come to the scene to see them shoot the short film. You are an actor. Actors rely on feelings and performance to beg for food from the audience. Then you use your eyes and your feelings to see what this play will look like."
Huang Kairen: "... I am afraid that if I go to see it, I will really lose my mind and want to act regardless of everything."
"Then what are you talking about? If you want to act regardless of everything, and you still don't dare to act, then you have been mixed for so many years, didn't you mix in vain?" Xin Zixing said, "You have to believe that the current audience is very tolerant, especially to you. This is not the year back then. Acting as a villain affects your whole life. Now everyone knows that you are acting. After being substituted for a period of time, you come out immediately."
Huang Kairen took a deep breath.
"Are you going to visit the class?"
Huang Kairen's agent frowned immediately, "Why go? You have already arranged the performance class, it is not very good to cancel it temporarily, right?"
"I have to go." Huang Kairen said, "In case it really becomes a regret, then I will regret it for the rest of my life, and I won't be able to sleep."
The agent said: "We have already analyzed the character of *Rouge* long ago, it is not suitable for you, why do you still go to waste this time? We should stick to the previous strategy, film serious dramas, hone acting skills, what you lack now is just time."
Huang Kairen: "No, I want to go."
The agent was full of disappointment, "Since you announced your relationship with Xin Zixing, you seem to pay less and less attention to my opinions, Kairen."
Huang Kairen had to say: "No, how could it be, but you also know how my relationship with Yan He is. He asked me to visit the class, can I not go? And Director Wang Zhong and Chen Bige are both there, it is good for me to see them."
Agent: "Anyway, I can't hold you back, if you must go, then go."
The agent has clearly put his dissatisfaction on his face.
Huang Kairen felt a little helpless in his heart.
For a period of time, the conflict between him and his agent seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
Such conversations happen from time to time.
What's wrong?
Obviously, the cooperation was very happy at the beginning, everything could be said, fighting together, struggling together, why can't we understand each other suddenly now?
These doubts, these emotions, can only be placed in the heart, Huang Kairen can't say it either. If he really says it, the relationship between him and his agent will be even worse.
"As an agent, will you encounter situations where you can't handle the relationship with the artist?" At this time, Chen Ziyan was also accepting an interview with a media, as a promotion for her high-end service company, the reporter naturally asked this question.
Chen Ziyan's most famous identity is the agent of star artists.
"Yes, of course." Chen Ziyan said, "In fact, don't look at everyone saying that I am a gold medal agent or something. In fact, it is the same as the relationship between you and your boss. Your boss is no matter how awesome and powerful in the eyes of others, in your place, it is also an annoying ghost who makes you 996 and pua you every day. I am the same as an agent. Many times, we must admit that loyal words are against the ear, good medicine is bitter, artists will be unhappy, dissatisfied, but because I have qualifications and ability, many people will endure it and hide it."
"According to your statement, in fact, you will encounter many situations where artists don't listen?"
"That can't be said either. I just put myself in a good original intention, and I am also good to the artist, so the artists who don't listen to me here are a negative image, but what if this premise of mine is wrong? For example, I am a bad agent, my vision can't keep up with the artist's development, my ability can't help the artist solve problems in the first time, my resources can't help the artist go to the next level, then the artist naturally doesn't listen to me, and their disobedience can also be understood. Standing from a bystander's perspective, it must be understandable, right?"
The reporter nodded.
"Then do you think the artist will endure it at this time?"
"No." Chen Ziyan shook her head, "On the contrary, I feel that ambitious and capable artists will have to break up even if they break up with the agent at this time. That is, how to say, when breaking up, it must be earth-shattering and you die and I break, but those who have really had a good experience, after the most difficult breakup stage, can actually empathize with each other. I am an agent, to be honest, for the artists I have brought with true feelings, as long as he has not been two-faced, or betrayed me, or something, even if she doesn't listen to my advice and insists on leaving me, then ok, I will let go."
"Then if one day Yan He tells you that you are not suitable, he wants to change an agent, what will you say?" The reporter asked.
Chen Ziyan laughed.
"I haven't thought about it." Chen Ziyan said, "And I won't think about this before this happens."
"But in fact, think about it again, I think I have already answered." ===== CHAPTER 388 =====
Chen Ziyan started to laugh.
"I haven't thought about it," Chen Ziyan said, "and I won't think about it until it actually happens."
"But actually, thinking about it again, I feel like I've already answered."
