"You two don't have to worry too much. He might have just woken up, and his mental state is not very stable yet. He was also stimulated and overreacted, so he's a little sleepy. In medicine, we call this … sigh. Anyway, he's sleepy. But he'll definitely be fine once he wakes up. I've been watching the almighty Superman Chen Guang's Weibo. Although I don't follow him, many of my friends are his fans and repost his Weibo every day. He's a very strong person. Why don't you two rest first? We'll keep an eye on him. There won't be a problem. We're professionals. "
The nurse comforted them.
The two girls helplessly nodded their heads. If they continued to stay here, they had no idea when Chen Guang would wake up. At this moment, Big Beard Deng was probably so anxious that he wanted to explode. It was said that many people in the main production team had some opinions about this, and the male lead that was originally supposed to be the male lead had now become the second lead.
They couldn't continue to dawdle here. They had to go and make a statement.
But they asked themselves if they really regretted it. They didn't think so.
Who was Chen Guang?
He was the man that we liked. We invested in the movie, and he was willing to act. Why didn't we give him more scenes?
How could we face our own hearts?
Besides, Big Beard was also very concerned about him. Shouldn't we all take the blame?
It can't all be ours, right?
As for the box office and reputation …
Well, don't care about those details. Although a bad movie was a heavy blow, the two of us could still bear it!
If we had to regret, we should only regret that things were so rushed.
After that, the specialist came in once more and chatted with Chen Guang for a long time. The specialist was shocked by Chen Guang's sudden illness and recovery. He even wanted to send Chen Guang for a CT scan, but he was rejected by Chen Guang.
The Old Man didn't have time to waste with you. You should leave quickly. I'm too busy!
When everyone in the ward finally left, Chen Guang, who was pretending to sleep, suddenly opened his eyes. A flash of hatred flashed in his eyes. Evil haters!
Just you wait. I'm no longer who I used to be. So what if I'm the male lead?
I cheated, okay!
The Old Man was the master of the Heavenly Holy Grail, the possessor of the protagonist's fate!
No matter what I do, I have to reach the top in one step. I can't be like other people who have to play small roles for ten years before getting lines, right?
Although it was a bit exaggerated to have Uncle Big Beard as the male lead, and even I found it hard to believe, I was the best actor in the world, so I could do well, right?
Do you have to ridicule me like this?
The worse you curse at me today, the more you'll kneel to the world's Best Actor tomorrow!
Alright, I've already made my grand aspiration. The most important thing to do is to be down-to-earth and do things according to my priorities.
First, please allow me to open my phone and open WeChat …
After a long time, a rustling sound came from the intensive care unit, and the tissues on the bedside table were looted.
His eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon. No matter what, today was still quite a blissful day.
At this moment, the main creative team of "Women" was indeed in an uproar. Many of them had specially taken time out of their time to come to Yanjing for this press conference. Now that the time had been changed, the second male lead, the third male lead, and the second female lead were the most affected.
In this day and age, which popular artist's schedule wasn't full every day? Today, they would attend a press conference in Yanjing, tomorrow, they would go to the sea to record a reality show, and the day after that, they would be shooting a TV series in South Korea.
The main characters in Deng Xiaogang's films were all famous in the country, and none of them were below the A-list level. Their daily schedule was calculated as hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Today's matters were pushed to tomorrow, and tomorrow's matters had to be pushed back again.
Fortunately, the director of the film was Deng Xiaogang, and he could barely control the situation after such a mess. If it were a new director, he would probably be crying.
He had high requirements for Deng Xiaogang's film, especially the strictest rule of not allowing him to make a scene.
The so-called 'making a scene' meant that they had to shoot his film, and at the same time, they could not take on other films.
According to Deng Xiaogang's strict requirements, every actor had to bring out their best performance when they were acting in a film. Today, you played a bitter role in my film, and tomorrow, you played a careless optimist in someone else's film. Different films required different roles, and this definitely wouldn't work. This would have to be a cameo.
To act in my film, you had to put in all your heart and soul to be able to bring out a real good show.
Everyone understood this. Because of Deng Xiaogang's face and reputation, they had been mentally prepared when they had taken on the film.
But this time, some of the things that Deng Xiaogang and Jin Jiang had done might have been a bit too much.
For example, the second male lead, Ren Chong, was also a famous box office star in the country. Back then, he was the first male lead, but later on, he became the second male lead, and he tolerated it.
Because you are Deng Xiaogang, and because that person is Jin Shiyue's boyfriend, I gave in to you.
I admit that you have high standards here, but you insist on pulling a person who has no acting experience to be the first male lead, I admit that.
When the time comes, the film might fail. I'm the new Best Actor, and the second film I'm going to shoot is a lousy film. You have strict requirements for me, but you don't have any requirements for Chen Guang, and for your sake, I admit it.
But today, I rejected three jobs and came here to attend the press conference, and you suddenly told me that it was changed to tomorrow. Then what about the job I promised tomorrow?
I really can't take it anymore.
Even a clay bodhisattva has a temper, and you guys are really too much!
"Director Deng, it's really not that I, Ren Chong, want to cause trouble on purpose, but he really went too far. Tell me, look, what do you call this? Let's not talk about senior or not. We agreed on a time, but he said he wouldn't come, and he didn't even give us an explanation. What right does he have to do this? Isn't this too unprofessional? Look, there are more than ten people sitting here doing nothing, just because of him … You can't be like this! "
Ren Chong stood in front of Big Beard Deng, clapping his hands and complaining.
Deng Xiao Gang was also quite embarrassed. "Little Ren, calm down. His situation is special, and I can't explain it in a short time, but he really has a reason."
"If there's a reason, then say it earlier! At the very least, he should have said it, so that we can all feel better. We're all working together, so what's with his attitude? He changed his mind at the last minute, and he didn't give us an explanation. We're all gathered here today, so I won't say it, and Yueling won't say it either. This isn't fair to Brother Zhou! Let's just stay here and play cards for the rest of the day? "
Ren Chong pulled the second female lead, Zhao Yueling, and the third male lead, Zhou Ya, off their horses.
Zhao Yueling was also a popular artist who debuted a few years ago, and was Ren Chong's junior in the same company. Although she wasn't as popular as Jin Shiyue and Jiang Yage in the country, she could still be considered an A-list female star.
As for Zhou Ya, he was an old acquaintance. He had worked with Deng Xiao Gang on the previous film, Tears Never End, and had even given Chen Guang 80,000 yuan for free.
Zhou Ya hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Little Ren, don't get too worked up. It's just filming, and everything doesn't go smoothly. It's not easy for Director Deng either. I know you have a program to record tomorrow, and after the press conference tomorrow morning, you can immediately fly to Nancheng."
Deng Xiao Gang was getting on in years, and he felt quite wronged. If he wasn't in the wrong, and Ren Chong dared to talk to him like this, he would have slammed the table and flown into a rage.
Sigh, Chen Guang, you little rascal, you've caused me trouble.
Zhao Yueling rolled her eyes. "Brother Zhou, it's easy for you to say. Brother Ren's program starts at 2 PM tomorrow, and the earliest flight to Nancheng will arrive at 1 PM. There's only half an hour, and you can't even catch your breath. Isn't this tormenting? I'm even worse off. I was supposed to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Baoda Jewelry at Denghai tomorrow morning, but now it's all over. It's not that Brother Ren and I are being petty, but Director Deng, you're too indulgent with Chen Guang. I really don't understand it. If he were an actor from an acting school, it would be fine, but he … Sigh … We're just afraid that he'll ruin your reputation, Director Deng! "
This time, Zhou Ya had no way of smoothing things over. As someone who had worked with Chen Guang once, even if he had lost 80,000 yuan, Zhou Ya still had a lot of say in Chen Guang's acting skills.
Back at Wujing Film City, a large group of people had spent the entire afternoon there. Now that Chen Guang's scenes were so heavy, Zhou Ya couldn't help but feel flustered in his heart. In the new script, he had quite a few scenes with Chen Guang, and he was clearly the one who should be complaining the most!
Deng Xiao Gang also felt a little regretful that things had turned out this way.
Why was I so thoughtless at that time?
Jiang Yage's revised script was pretty good. Jin Shiyue wanted Chen Guang to have a higher starting point for his debut. She also felt that Chen Guang was a promising talent, but it was a little too much to push him to be the male lead.
Why did I agree to it at that time?
Why did I change the script in that direction?
I'm not possessed, am I?
But now that he was changing it back, Deng Xiao Gang really couldn't bear to part with such a good script. If he couldn't make a movie that he was most satisfied with, he would rather not do it.
Actually, the best choice now was to change the actor and get a veteran actor to play the male lead.
But this was also impossible. One of the investors' right-hand man would never agree to it.
The two passionate scenes that had a great impact on the movie's plot could not be filmed, but the premise of the new script was built on these two rare passionate scenes.
When the movie was finished, the overall quality of the movie aside, just the two rare scenes of Jin Shiyue and Jiang Yage rolling in the sheets, even if it was not completely exposed, would definitely be a gimmick that could pull in the box office. It would also be a strong boost to the plot. Deng Xiao Gang would rather be beaten to death than to give up on it.
Serving the second or third generation superstars in a movie was so troublesome. He had to pay attention to it, and he had to pay attention to it.
But only Deng Xiao Gang, the executive director cum producer, understood these things, but he couldn't say it out loud.
Although everyone could guess it, Big Beard couldn't tell them clearly that he didn't have the final say in the movie. It was the two little girls who had the final say. It would be embarrassing, and it would also affect his prestige in the production team and the circle.
Other than that, I know the reason for changing the time of today's press conference, but I can't say it!
Now, the news of their fall was directly informed by the Secretariat of the Ministry of National Defense, and they even repeatedly said that it was top secret. You don't know how painful it was for me at that time!
Other than that, the press conference could not be held today, not only because of Chen Guang, but also because the female lead, Jiang Yage, had gone to the hospital to visit someone.
Since the male lead and the female lead could not come, the press conference could not be held. Unfortunately, these things could not be said.
My great nephew, where did you go to reach the heavens?
Poor Big Beard Deng, he didn't even know that Chen Guang was now a deputy minister.
If he knew that his male lead was a deputy minister, he was afraid that he would faint.
In a sense, Big Beard Deng could be considered to be unprecedented. He should be the first director in history to rope in such a high-ranking official to act in a movie. The name of this department was even called the General Administration of Guangding, which was especially terrifying.
The conference room was noisy, and Jin Shiyue and Jiang Yage finally arrived.
The fire of the public finally found a place to vent.
Although it was not good to say anything harsh to these two people, they couldn't help complaining.
"Sister Jin, you should control your man. How can he be like this?"
"Sister Song, speak for everyone. Is it right for Chen Guang?"
"Sister Song, what do you think people are saying on the Internet? Why don't we change the male lead? He can't act, he really can't. How about we find another script for him next time? Shoot something more youthful and artistic. Although you two are young, you are famous actors in our circle. Chen Guang is … Alas … "
"Little fresh meat! Chen Guang is at most a little fresh meat. I'm not afraid of offending people. It's a compliment to say that he is a little fresh meat! Other little fresh meat have shot music videos. What has he done? "
If Jin Shiyue and Jiang Yage were ordinary artists, people would naturally not complain to them.
However, there's no need to mention the two's status in the industry. They're also movie investors, and everyone knows that Chen Guang was pushed up by the two of them. So if anyone wanted to pull Chen Guang down, they could only start with the two of them.
In the past two days, the comments on the Internet had been getting worse and worse. People were afraid that the film would be ruined, so they all came up to say one after another in the name of the good of the film.
Jin Shiyue and Jiang Yage were usually influential figures wherever they went. But this time, like Deng Xiaogang, they knew that they were in the wrong. In the face of the voices of the public, they could only brace themselves to bear it.
Yue Hong, Fang Tianyu, and Lu Xiaoliang, the three middle-level leaders of Tianguang Agency, hid in the corner of the conference room and shivered. In fact, the three of them had been baptized by the storm before.
It was true that not many people cursed in front of them, but they couldn't stand the ridicule that came one after another.
Chen Guang's appearance was too sudden. From an Internet celebrity who "relied on hype", he suddenly became the male lead of an A-list blockbuster.
Not to mention whether it would make people jealous, it was simply a joke in the eyes of others.
They didn't have a chance to complain about Chen Guang in front of him, so they complained in front of his employees.
Until now, the three of them felt that their faces were full of the smell of other people's saliva.
"This group of b * stards!" Fang Tianyu gritted his teeth. "This is too f * cking bullying. How can anyone say that about Director Chen? That guy just said that Director Chen would be thankful if he could act as a poker face! "
Yue Hong also kept a straight face. "Some people said that Director Chen can't even remember his lines."
"Actually, I think … what they said is quite reasonable." Lu Xiaoliang was different from the other two. As a former senior entertainment reporter and pioneer paparazzi, he knew more about the tricks of the entertainment industry.
"Actually, I don't understand why Director Deng would let Director Chen play the male lead. This is a bit too much. Right now, our company's task is to package Director Chen. If I were to come up with a packaging plan, we should let Director Chen take one step at a time and start from a supporting role. It's not that he's never qualified to play the lead role, but when it comes to acting, he really hasn't shown any convincing results! "
Lu Xiaoliang analyzed logically. "Since ancient times, there has been a master in every profession. Don't think that acting is easy. Acting is not something that can be done in a day. Our Director Chen doesn't look like a genius who was born with knowledge. After all, he has a stain on his record."
"Stain?" Yue Hong didn't understand. "I went to watch 'Country' previously. Didn't he act quite well?"
Lu Xiaoliang rolled his eyes. "Old Yue, you don't know this. That set of thirty seconds of scenes, there were dozens of NGs. They filmed for an entire afternoon. I have a friend who was on the set as an extra. He said that he almost died from the heat because he was wearing armor on such a hot day. This is what he said. Ordinary actors' acting skills are divided into soy sauce level, beginner level, amateur level, professional level, master level, and best actor level. "
"What level is our Director Chen at?" Fang Tianyu asked in a low voice.
Lu Xiaoliang took a deep breath. "In my friend's words, he is a disaster level, the kind that can spoil an entire pot of soup."
"A disaster level male lead?" Yue Hong and Fang Tianyu looked at Deng Xiaogang sympathetically. They didn't know why, but even as Chen Guang's employees, they started to sympathize with Deng Xiaogang, the famous director.
Deng Xiaogang was really stubborn to use a useless male lead for the entire process.
However, this was definitely not good news for Tianguang's agency.
Right now, Chen Guang's image and reputation on the internet might be controversial, but he has never messed up anything that he's participated in.
He was a world champion in darts. He was the undisputed king of the underground racing world when it came to car racing. He was a god-like existence. He was so good at playing dota that he could take on the world alone. He had never messed up when it came to playing the piano.
If Director Chen's first movie ended in a bad movie, it would be a devastating blow to his personal image and reputation. Tianguang's agency might even suffer a heavy blow.
"How about we persuade Director Chen?" Fang Tianyu asked tentatively.
Yue Hong nodded. "Buttface, you can persuade him. He will listen to you."
Lu Xiaoliang shook his head. "I am suffering from a disease that will kill me if I make a phone call!"
"Save it. No one can change his mind once he has made a decision. Think about what happened to Ba Zhou." Yue Hong, on the other hand, saw through it. "What we can do is to think of a way to help him settle this matter."
Lu Xiaoliang nodded. "Now that things have come to this, it looks like I have to show my true abilities. I'll turn black into white! When the movie comes out, I will try my best to find a bright spot for him. Even if he messes up, I will exaggerate it. I don't know how many people will be fooled by me. In any case, when the time comes, we will be able to cover the sky and cover the earth with spear inscriptions. We will definitely be able to fool some people.
"We need a navy in the Pacific Ocean." Fang Tianyu nodded.
The three of them sighed at the same time. Working for Director Chen was really tiring.
It was a night of arguments and no words.
While it was noisy outside, Chen Guang enjoyed a rare moment of peace.
However, he ran into some trouble the next morning. He wanted to leave the hospital, but the sanatorium wouldn't let him.
Fortunately, he was very good at running away now, so he rushed out of the dark and ran away as fast as he could.
The old expert and a group of people chased after him. "Director Chen, come back! Come back! "
Chen Guang waved his hand from afar. "No … I have something important to do. The people of my country need me …"
When Chen Guang was far away, the old expert's assistant asked, "Actually, I think Director Chen is recovering quite well."
The old expert shook his head. "Actually, my son is a fan of Deng Xiaogang."
"Huh?"
"I should have tied him up," the old expert said.
It was all thanks to Shen Yuliang that the online taxi booking service was getting better and better. It didn't even take twenty minutes for Chen Guang to leave the nursing home for the Xi Dun Hotel, where the press conference was held.
When he got on the car, the driver kept looking at his head, which made him feel uncomfortable.
The bandage that he had wrapped around his head had been shaken off due to his strenuous movements. It looked a little abnormal.
Chen Guang didn't want to talk to this guy at first, but halfway through the car, he started to talk in a foreign language. That's right, it was Arabic.
Chen Guang touched his head silently. Dude, I only wrapped my head with a bandage, but I'm not Arabic. Thank you.
He couldn't help but reply in Arabic, and this time, the driver couldn't stop himself from driving.
This was how mystical Beijing was. Even taxi drivers could comment on the country's affairs, as if they were pillars of the country as long as they sat in the leather chair. Nowadays, taxi drivers had also kept up with the times. This man was actually a graduate from the Arabic Department of the Beijing Foreign Language School, and he had really treated Chen Guang as an international friend and started to chat with him.
Chen Guang felt that this guy must be using him to practice his spoken English. I've seen your teacher before. It's that half-baked Professor Lu. His skills are bad, and his character is bad. If you learn from him, it's no wonder you're doing so badly after you graduated.
Forget it. Since I have nothing to do anyway, I'll just chat with you. I'll just treat it as helping my peers.
They were chatting happily along the way, but Chen Guang heard this sentence when he was about to get off the car.
"Muhammad, do you know? Recently, there's a very funny person in our country. He looks a little like you. He has never acted before, but he actually wants to act in a movie! Do you think there's something wrong with the rich nowadays? If they burn their money, they can at least smell it. Letting someone who doesn't know how to act in a movie to act in a blockbuster, isn't that throwing hundreds of millions of investment into the water? Rich people nowadays … tsk tsk … "
"Muhammad" said. Serves you right for having to use the internet for your entire life. I was going to introduce you to Brother Bai Hua, but now you should just stay where you are!
