Superstar Aspirations Chapter 3:

Published:

When Rong Xu came out of the dressing room, several nearby staff members clearly exclaimed.

In the eyes of everyone, regardless of men or women, a handsome, elegant young man in white clothes makes people yearn, and they can’t help but focus their eyes on him. Not to mention, this young man has a more approachable aura of his own, and he is not as cold and arrogant as many big stars, and he has won the favor of many people at once.

In general, humans are still visual animals.

Luo Zhentao deeply felt that if he had met the Rong Xu in front of him, he would probably have seen him as a friend, instead of a simple interest relationship like before, and never kept the other person in the dark. .

Since the makeup and costume have been changed, for Rong Xu, it is the audition.

“Chasing the Deer” is a major project invested by Huaxia Entertainment this year. The director is Guo Long, the best director in the domestic TV drama industry. The heroine is Tang Menglan, the elixir of ratings. The crew invested nearly 300 million yuan, and more than 100 million yuan was spent on costumes and props.

“Chasing the Deer” tells the story of a group of heroes fighting for the world in troubled times.

In this world, the three kingdoms of Liang, Wei, and Chu stand at the top of each other, occupying all the time, place, and people. The main line of the story takes place in the state of Chu. The male protagonist Xie Jingxian is the prince of the state of Chu. However, after the war between the state of Chu and the state of Liang nine years ago, the state of Chu was defeated. .

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

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

Xiao Xiang is a famous female general of Chu State!

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 in the battle. The thirteen-year-old Xiao Xiang carried the banner of the Xiao family and led the Xiao family army. Since then, there will be no Miss Xiao family in the world, only General Xiao.

So the plot line and the love line came naturally. Xie Jingxian and Xiao Xiang slowly developed feelings for each other, but neither of them showed it. For them, the Chu State is more important now.

The status of the state of Chu is in jeopardy. Only by seeking hegemony can we avoid the possibility of being annexed by the other two great powers.

Wan Chengyao, played by Rong Xu, appeared under such circumstances.

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

The state of Chu is in decline, but it has fertile land and wealth accumulated over the centuries. It is more concerned by Liang Guo than those small countries. No matter how resourceful Xie Jingxian is, and how brave and good Xiao Xiang is, with the strength of the two of them, they will not be able to change the disadvantage of Chu State in a short period of time.

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

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

It happened that Tang Menglan was there today, so the audition was set for the first meeting of Wan Chengyao and Xiao Xiang.

Here director Guo Long was checking the final character image with the assistant director. When he heard a gasp, Director Guo turned his head to look, and suddenly saw the boy in white. Director Guo’s eyes lit up and nodded in satisfaction. After Rong Xu walked in front of him, he glanced up and down several times, and then waved to Tang Menglan, “Menglan, is it alright for the drama?”

Tang Menglan smiled and nodded: “No problem.”

After all, I was going to take a makeup photo, so Tang Menglan also put on a strong suit and put on makeup.

Rong Xu found Luo Zhentao at this time, he smiled and nodded at Luo Zhentao, a meaningful color flashed in his eyes, and quickly converged, and was not discovered by Luo Zhentao.

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

Rong Xu’s image is even more suitable than Zhong Yi, which is so approved by Director Guo. If he is Rong Xu’s manager, he has already thought of several ways to hold this young man up, at least he can be promoted to the second tier within half a year!

“Don’t worry, they are all wearing costumes and makeup, and with Tang Menglan around, that Rong Xu will definitely be able to perform well.” At some point, Assistant Director Wang walked over and said casually, “This is The first audition was really easy, and it seems that Director Guo is really satisfied with Rong Xu’s appearance.”

Hearing this, Luo Zhentao’s thoughtful thoughts suddenly died down.

Luo Zhentao smiled bitterly: “I hope…”

Let Rong Xu be a star? Provided he can act!

Maybe five minutes later, Director Guo is going to let Rong Xu get out in a rage.

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

It’s a bit strange that the audition is only now starting when the makeup photos are about to be taken. Many people in the crew gathered, and even the second male came over to watch. Director Guo sat casually on the director’s chair, but his eyes were condensed, staring closely at Tang Menglan and Rong Xu in the center of the studio.

As if coming with a cold wind, the cold and stern female general took big strides and quickly walked to the low table. When she sat down with her legs crossed, her back didn’t even bend, and the cold and serious aura instantly swept the audience.

Just listening to Tang Menglan’s calm expression, she said coldly, “Sir, I have already solved the second chess game, but I don’t know where the third one is now.”

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

Guo Long smiled with satisfaction.

On the side, Luo Zhentao was also slightly relieved: Tang Menglan’s acting skills are very good, and she is definitely an upper class in the TV drama Huadan. Presumably playing against such a person, maybe… Rong Xu can also perform a little better?

Thinking like this, Luo Zhentao turned his head to look at Rong Xu. His eyes froze when he saw the other party, Luo Zhentao stared at the hand of the beautiful jade sculpture involuntarily, and saw that Rong Xu was pouring tea gently.

He poured the tea very steadily, and the clear green tea flowed out of the jade’s tea mouth, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. He didn’t seem to have heard the words from the other side, he was isolated from the world in white clothes, and his handsome face made people dare not feel any offense. He could only see this elegant and calm young man pouring tea with a light smile.

A faint aura pervaded Rong Xu’s body, shaking the set.

This is not the coldness and seriousness of a female general, but a calm that is far away from the world and sees the world clearly.

It seems that at the moment when everyone looked at Rong Xu, what they saw was not a young boy, but a hermit who concealed a deep and elegant appearance. To describe it as perfect is by no means an exaggeration!

Guo Dao was startled for a while, then opened his eyes in surprise.

Tang Menglan didn’t think for a while that she would be shocked by the other party’s aura, but she was Tang Menglan after all, and it only took a moment for her to recover. With calm and beautiful eyebrows, Tang Menglan put her sword on the tea table and made a loud noise.

“Sir, dare to ask the third chess game.”

At this point, Rong Xu had finished brewing tea. He gently pushed the white porcelain teacup in front of Tang Menglan with the palm of his hand, 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 his youthful appearance, Luo Zhentao was stunned by the vicissitudes in his eyes. It is clear that Rong Xu is only a minor child, how can he have such deep eyes. Could it be… Could it be that his acting is so good? !

Is he really a **** to eat? !

“Twenty people break chess together, can the general feel that there is something wrong?” The clear voice was flowing like a trickling stream.

After Tang Menglan was surprised for the first time, she had already taken precautions and would not lose her temper again. She gave a cold smile and asked back, “Did you say that you must break the chess alone?”

Rong Xu smiled: “No.”

Tang Menglan said as a matter of course: “Then you can naturally invite many chess players from my Chu country to play together.” Tang Menglan clapped her hands and said, “Invite my Chu chess players in!”

This time, he was going to call in the twenty cheating players in front of Mr. Wan Cheng, 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 streamer, she led the army of 100,000 Xiao family members. She is Xiao Xiang, and she is also General Xiao, the last bloodline of the loyal Xiao family.

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

Tang Menglan turned her back to these chess players, her back still 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 shook his head lightly and said, “The general thinks that these twenty players can be defeated. My third game?”

Tang Menglan reached out: “But please give it a try!”

Rong Xu did not move, looked at her with indifferent and calm eyes, and said for a long time, “The world is divided into three parts, which is divided.”

Tang Menglan was stunned for a while, and then said: “If the united person breaks, it is divided.”

Rong Xu said lightly: “Those who divide must be united, and those who unite must be divided, but it’s just a falsehood.”

Tang Menglan hesitated for a moment, then said: “The world is changing, and there is a Wangqiu Pavilion on Yunmengze, and there will be no Wangqiu Pavilion in a thousand years. But the 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, it won’t exist after a thousand years.”

Rong Xu stopped.

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

The chess piece was placed in the Tianyuan position!

Tang Menglan stared blankly at Rong Xu, only to see the white-clothed hermit smiling slightly, and said, “If you solve my two chess games, you can stick seven and a half eyes in the third game. The third game is to play with me, The chess game is here, and the general can hold the piece.”

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

Already admit defeat!

So far, the twenty chess players and Wan Chengyao have been in a row for a day and a night, and finally defeated the world’s prodigy. Xiao Xiang left Wangqiu Pavilion first, and Wan Chengyao stayed here for three more days before getting up and leaving. In the shimmering river, Wangqiu Pavilion was left behind by him. He had nothing but a child and stepped into the chaotic chess game of the strife among the heroes.

It’s like this in the script, but it’s naturally impossible for Rong Xu to act in the details there. However, when he dropped the pawn, everyone who had read the script seemed to have seen that scene. Perhaps only such peerless elegance can interpret Wan Chengyao’s cool attitude as a hermit and a master.

The audition was over, and there was silence on the set. After a few seconds, someone whispered and sighed.

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

Rong Xu and Tang Menglan were still sitting at the low table, and when they heard the director’s sigh, they turned to look at him together. I saw Director Guo’s face full of resentment, and solemnly exhorted: “When the official performance is over, Rong Xu, Meng Lan, you must maintain this state, and you can’t make mistakes, you know!”

It turned out that I was worried that when the two of them officially performed, it would be better to audition!

Tang Menglan smiled and said, “Guo Director, you can rest assured.”

Guo Director looked at Rong Xu again: “How about you, Rong Xu?”

Rong Xu raised the corners of her lips and asked, “Director Guo, have I auditioned?”

Guo Dao raised his eyebrows: “I’m still asking this question, have you ever said it before?” Before Rong Xu could react, he laughed out loud.

Luo Zhentao has also worked with Director Guo’s crew twice before, and it is rare to see Director Guo laugh like this. Guo Long has always been serious and unsmiling, and has a record of scolding actors and crying 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 a strange thought suddenly emerged: 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, a double photo with Tang Menglan, or a double photo with the second male, Wan Chengyao’s senior brother in the plot. , he is the elegant and unique Mr. Wan Cheng, who can be called a son of the unparalleled.

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

In the evening, when all the makeup photos were taken, Rong Xu officially signed the contract, and ten days later, she could join the crew and shoot her own scenes. Seven days later is the opening ceremony. Rong Xu’s role is not much, and he is not famous, so it doesn’t matter whether he comes or not, the director will leave it to him to choose.

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

Rong Xu calmly said, “Brother Luo.”

As soon as Luo Zhentao heard the voice, he immediately regained his senses and said, “Hey! Rong Xu, are you… here too?”

Rong Xu did not expose his lies.

The two walked out of 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 blockbuster blockbuster this winter, and it has now been bought by three satellite TVs. The copyright is over, and the asking price is quite high, and the price of a single episode broadcast on the Internet has exceeded 10 million.”

Rong Xu nodded lightly: “It’s good.”

Luo Zhentao added: “I saw your audition today, it was excellent, I didn’t expect your acting skills to be so good. I remember that the first month’s scenes could be completed in this film and television city, but the next two months It seems that you are going to Hengdian and Xiangshan, and you have to go to some scenic spots for framing. That… Rong Xu, do your scenes also go to Hengdian and scenic spots?”

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

“It seems a bit inappropriate to follow the crew alone…” Luo Zhentao became a little bolder: “Have you ever thought about… Really entering the entertainment industry?”

Rong Xu did not immediately answer Luo Zhentao’s question, but did not deny it. After leaving the film and television city, Steward Duan’s car had been waiting at the gate for a while, Rong Xu quickly got into the car and invited Luo Zhentao to leave with him, but Luo Zhentao drove by himself, so he could only sneer and decline Rong Xu’s kindness .

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

“Rong Xu… Rong Xu, they really look like two people before…”

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

The night in the city of b is slowly falling, and the lights are just coming on. The lights of thousands of houses are reflected on the delicate and beautiful face of the young man through the brown window stickers, making this face even more hazy and beautiful.

Rong Xu naturally understood what Luo Zhentao wanted to say, but it was impossible for him to reply directly to the other party.

According to the original owner’s memory, Luo Zhentao seems to have been busy recently trying to persuade the A-list star under him not to quit. Although Huaxia Entertainment is good, it is really full of stars. Here, if it is not for the talent and strength, you will never be the first brother, and the best resources will not be in your hands. On the contrary, if you open your own studio and be your own boss, you may be able to “never be the head of the phoenix” and gain more room for development.

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

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

It didn’t take long for the car to leave the Studio City and onto the elevated. Rong Xu recalled some things he saw during the day, and suddenly heard Steward Duan reminding softly: “Master, the second lady is back.”

Rong Xu was slightly startled, then smiled after a while: “Okay.”

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

The aunt who traveled to Europe for three months while her nephew was hospitalized and didn’t come back, finally came back today.
