Chapter 362 Scheming Man

Yu Liang hurriedly thanked Hu Xiaoxiao for the compliments and encouragement, then said casually, "My agent told me that although I've worked very hard on my acting and have done well, the roles I've been offered are basically the same as Zeng Lin's, all the same old, unoriginal characters. If I continue like this, it will ruin my career, and he advised me not to take any more."

Hu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Indeed, if you are offered a similar role in the future, you can refuse it."

If you keep playing a role until it becomes popular, the audience will form a stereotype of you. As soon as they see you in a movie, they will know who you are, loyal or treacherous. If this continues for a long time, the audience will have no expectations of you, and they will become aesthetically fatigued and unwilling to watch your works again.

If the audience is unwilling to watch and the market does not buy it, the crew will not hire you again, resulting in no more film contracts.

Yu Liang said happily, "Sister Xiao's words have made me more determined, and I also want to calm down for a while. However, if I'm not filming, I'll have a lot of free time besides studying. Sister Xiao is filming a new drama, and I don't know if she needs any help. It doesn't matter what role it is, even if it's just a stand-in. I want to learn from Sister Xiao."

After hearing this, Hu Xiaoxiao understood Yu Liang's purpose in coming to see her, which was to join the crew of "Hong Kong Superwoman 2" again.

He is a scheming man.

However, she does not mind Yu Liang's scheming. As a boss, she feels very comforted that her employees are willing to make progress.

She was willing to give Yu Liang a chance, but unfortunately, Zeng Lin had already played the role in the first film, so it was impossible for him to appear in the second film.

"The first part of the story draws inspiration from the cases of the Sanren Society, and now the second part draws inspiration from the cases of the Qinglong Gang. Zeng Lin's prototype is Zeng Xuelin of the Sanren Society. He has a bad relationship with the members of the Qinglong Gang and has no social interaction except for fighting. The second part of the story does not involve the feud between the Qinglong Gang and the Sanren Society, so Zeng Lin cannot appear again, otherwise it will drag down the plot."

There are many societies in Baogang, and they have done countless things, providing the film industry with endless themes.

One of the stories borrowed from the script of "Baogang Princess 2" happened to be one that Hu Xiaoxiao had experienced, which was the incident where Daya Lai wanted to rob Baogang Bank.

Of course, the truth of the matter was not filmed, but adapted. Of course, the screenwriters did not know the truth of the matter, and as for those rumors that Hu Xiaoxiao sent Daya Lai to jail, they did not dare to believe it.

The story is that Daya Lai was changed to Da Lai, who was the boss behind the scenes and attacked the bank under the boss's instructions. The person who colluded with the bank's senior management was also the boss behind the scenes.

Hu Xiaoxiao also felt sorry that Yu Liang could not star in the second part. Yu Liang is good at acting and fighting, and is very suitable for filming this drama.

"It's a pity that the audiences of the first part all recognized your face, so you can't be included in the second part." Hu Xiaoxiao said to Liang: "If there is a script that suits you later, I will recommend you to the director."

This result was expected for Liang. Hu Xiaoxiao was willing to recommend him again in the future, which meant that he had achieved his purpose of finding a sense of existence.

After sincerely thanking Hu Xiaoxiao, Yu Liang came out of the office and returned to the department. He took a mirror, looked at his face, and couldn't help but laugh.

If he could change his face, maybe Sister Xiao would use it again.

Yu Liang looked at himself in the mirror, frowning and looking sadly. Jiang Muyang happened to come over and made his usual sarcastic remark: "You are ugly. No matter how many times you look in the mirror, you will never become handsome. Maybe you will even get uglier."

Yu Liang gave Jiang Muyang a cold look, looked at himself in the mirror again and again, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

He asked Jiang Muyang: "When will the casting for "Baogang Overlord Flower 2" begin?"

"The project was launched this month, and casting will begin next month." Jiang Muyang wiped his face and hands with face cream. The director's task for him was not only to practice martial arts and acting, but also to maintain his skin. He must not get tanned and his skin must be good. In short, he had to live up to the image of a handsome face with a dark heart.

After wiping it, his face and hands were greasy. Jiang Muyang endured the discomfort and wiped them with a tissue for a while. He turned around and was about to make fun of Yu Liang again, but he was gone.

A few days later, after Hu Xiaoxiao finished a meeting with the development department, he returned to the office and received a call from Yu Liang.

Yu Liang's voice on the other end of the phone was a little nervous: "Sister Xiao, you think I'm not suitable for the second part of "Baogang Overlord Flower" because you are worried that the audience will recognize me as Zeng Lin and lose interest in the show, right?"

"That's right." Hu Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Hadn't she told him this before? Why did he call again a few days later? Was he upset because he didn't get the role?

Yu Liang on the other end of the phone said, "Sister Xiao, if my face is different from before and the audience can't recognize me, can you give me a role?"

Hu Xiaoxiao was even more puzzled after hearing this. "What's wrong with your face?"

Could it be that he had plastic surgery in just a few days?

"Sister Xiao, I'll come up to find you later."

Hu Xiaoxiao agreed and put down the phone, feeling puzzled. Although Yu Liang wasn't as good-looking as Jiang Muyang, he had great potential. He shouldn't torment himself for a role.

Hu Xiaoxiao had heard about some plastic surgeries. Some people had double eyelid surgery, chin augmentation, and nose augmentation to look better.

But just making these changes shouldn’t make it impossible to recognize people’s faces, right?

In less than ten minutes, Yu Liang knocked on Hu Xiaoxiao's office door, which showed that he was calling from downstairs.

"Come in."

Hearing Hu Xiaoxiao's voice inside, Yu Liang pushed open the door, lowered his head, and walked in dejectedly.

Hu Xiaoxiao was reading a document when she heard footsteps approaching her desk. Without saying a word, she raised her head and glanced at the person in front of her. "You are..."

The man before him was slovenly, wearing old, unwashed clothes. His shoulder-length hair was greasy and matted together. He stood there, slightly hunched, his posture crooked, his whole body radiating a deep sense of fatigue and world-weariness.

He pulled out a chair and sat in front of Hu Xiaoxiao, slumped in the chair as if he had no spine, his face full of stubble, his eyes listless, numb and empty under his messy hair.

Hu Xiaoxiao stared at him for a while and asked, "Are you Yu Liang?"

His eyes seemed to fluctuate a little, he nodded, and then stared at Hu Xiaoxiao blankly.

Hu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but stand up, walked around the desk, walked in front of Yu Liang, looked around at him for a while, then returned to his seat and sat down.

She opened the drawer, pulled out a stack of scripts, found one, and placed it in front of Yu Liang, "This role is for you."

Yu Liang was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, his eyes instantly brightening.
