Chapter 55 Chapter 55
While Gu Xingshi and his team were busy preparing for the project, Ning Tianyou, who had been keeping an eye on them, could no longer sit still.
"There is no news at all, what are you doing?!"
The assistant was also helpless: "Boss Ning, this is really not our fault. Sun Hongfei hid the project very well, and no news can be leaked."
Ning Tianyou frowned: "Where is the screenwriter? Did he let something slip and was discovered?"
The assistant shook his head quickly: "Probably not, he said that Sun Hongfei was not very satisfied with the script, so he is now locked up in the hotel and making revisions every day! He said that he vomited from the revisions..."
Ning Tianyou: "..."
The assistant said again: "But he still sent an important message."
Ning Tianyou: "What is it?"
Assistant: "It is said that Sun Hongfei specially found Boss Gu of Le Shi to cooperate on this project..."
"Gu Xingshi!!" Ning Tianyou stood up in a state of disgrace, His expression suddenly changed. "Are you sure it's not exposed?"
The assistant nodded affirmatively: "It shouldn't be, otherwise Sun Hongfei would have fallen out with him long ago, and there wouldn't be no movement now."
Although Ning Tianyou knew rationally that his subordinate was right, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart: "Gu Xingshi is a bit weird, and we must not take it lightly."
"No matter how much money it costs, whether it's buying off their team or finding someone to infiltrate, we must find out!"
The assistant and others searched for a long time, and they actually found a suitable candidate.
This person's name is Jin Shiheng, and he was originally the deputy manager of the publicity department of Tiancheng Video.
Before, there was internal unrest in Tiancheng Video, and his top boss got into trouble, and he was also fired. It is said that he was very dissatisfied with Sun Hongfei and kept saying that he was demoted because of Sun Hongfei.
Sure enough, after they found Jin Shiheng, they tempted him to agree to pass on the message for them.
Although Sun Hongfei kept the news strictly hidden from the outside, many staff members in the crew were employees of Orange Video, so it was impossible to keep it completely secret from the inside.
Jin Shiheng has worked in Orange Video for many years. Although he has been demoted now, his network is still there.
Through his unremitting inquiries, he finally found out some things.
However, the person who told him the news was not the main creative team, and the information he inquired was also fragmentary.
"It is said that the script has not been released yet and is still being polished. Oh, by the way, I heard that Mr. Gu and Manager Sun had some disagreements over the actors last time. Manager Sun seemed to have been scolded by Mr. Gu and looked depressed for several days!"
Jin Shiheng didn't care much when he heard the first half, but when he heard the second half, he suddenly became excited: "What disagreement? Tell me in detail!"
The friend said helplessly: "I don't know what it is specifically, it seems to be related to the protagonist or some old actor..."
Jin Shiheng seemed to be thinking.
In recent years, it is customary to use old actors to play supporting roles in film and television dramas to ensure quality, and then use young actors to play the protagonists to ensure traffic.
For the drama producers, this method is not wrong, but for the young actors, it is more miserable. As long as the show is broadcast, their acting skills will be judged and compared with the veteran actors by the haters. Most of the results are tragic and they will be nailed to the pillar of shame.
If Mr. Gu is just an investor, he can't be so angry, unless...
this young actor is his actor! !
Under Mr. Gu, Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin are mainly on the stage. They are very popular and have many schedules. There is no need to give up the stage to become actors. Qin Wen has good acting skills. He had played against the veteran actors in "The Secret of the Six Doors" before, but they were evenly matched and did not lose the upper hand, so Mr. Gu can't worry about him.
Then there is only——Sheng Yueqing.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "Did Sheng Yueqing go to the crew?"
His friend was shocked and asked, "How do you know?"
Jin Shiheng was delighted.
Guessed it right!!!
This explains why President Gu quarreled with Sun Hongfei!
Sun Hongfei must have thought about the problem from the perspective of the production team, but President Gu is an agent after all, and he must care more about his artists than the interests of the production team. President
Gu wanted Sheng Yueqing to act and attract fans, but he was afraid that his acting skills were too poor, which would attract ridicule from black fans and be thankless, so he would rather sacrifice the interests of the production team and find some average acting skills to set off Sheng Yueqing.
But Sun Hongfei did not consider this point, and his flattery hit the horse's leg, which angered President Gu instead.
Thinking of this, Jin Shiheng almost laughed out loud.
His friend asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? You've been asking about the crew all day?"
Jin Shiheng was afraid of being discovered, so he could only make an excuse: "Isn't this a big project of our company? I thought it was an opportunity after all, and it's never a bad thing to know more..."
"You're right!" His friend patted his shoulder with relief, "Sun Hongfei is now in the limelight, and he is no longer the submissive supervisor before. As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves..."
Jin Shiheng felt nauseous, but in order not to be exposed, he could only agree with his friend with humiliation.
The friend suddenly remembered something: "Oh, I heard that the crew will recruit another group of people. Why don't you apply for it? Maybe if the show becomes a hit, you can use this credit to get back to your original position?"
Jin Shiheng's eyes lit up.
Join the crew? !
That would not only allow him to get more information in exchange for money, but also give him the opportunity to get close to President Gu. If the show fails, Sun Hongfei will definitely be held responsible, and President Gu will lose trust in him. Then he
can take advantage of the opportunity and kill two birds with one stone! That night, Ning Tianyou received the news from Jin Shiheng.
"Working on the script?"
Ning Tianyou compared the information with the last time the screenwriter sent him. It seemed that he was not lying, his identity was not exposed, and Gu Xingshi and the others did not know that they were setting him up.
He nodded with satisfaction, "What else?"
The assistant said, "Also, Mr. Gu wanted Sheng Yueqing to play the leading role, and did not want the acting skills of the veteran actor to overshadow his own artists, so he had a quarrel with Sun Hongfei."
Ning Tianyou was surprised, "Really?!"
He hadn't made a move yet, and they were already fighting among themselves. This was really good news!
"Not bad, not bad, this guy is quite capable to find out all this." Ning Tianyou was in a good mood, "What else did he say?"
The assistant hesitated, "He said that he would have a chance to sneak into the crew later, but he would have to pay more."
Ning Tianyou frowned.
But thinking that he might be able to catch Wen Yue and Gu Xingshi this time, he reluctantly said, "Okay, as long as he can come up with enough weighty information, he can be paid more!"
After getting the money, Jin Shiheng immediately took action and tried his best to sneak into the crew.
Because he sneaked in, he didn't dare to get too close to the main creators, lest he be discovered by Sun Hongfei. Who knew that he was caught by the staff after just two rounds outside.
Before Jin Shiheng could refuse, he was dragged to move things.
He moved for more than an hour, and his waist was almost broken. Finally, he saw a nanny car parked outside, and Gu Xingshi led people inside.
Although the other party was wearing a mask and dyed his iconic blue hair black, Jin Shiheng still recognized him at a glance - Sheng Yueqing!!
If Sheng Yueqing had not been playing the leading role, why would he dye his hair back to black? Moreover, he also checked Sheng Yueqing's future schedule. Compared with the previous full schedule, the recent schedule is much less, with only a few heavyweight activities left. It must be to leave time for filming!
It seems that his guess is correct!
Jin Shiheng breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that his waist and hands were no longer painful, and he could move for another hour.
-Gu
Xingshi led Sheng Yueqing inside, saying as they walked: "Although you are playing a supporting role this time, it is a good learning opportunity. Whether it is Teacher Miao or several other seniors, their acting skills are very powerful. Their rivalry scenes are very tense and detailed. These are things that acting teachers cannot teach you, so I will cut off all your unimportant schedules in the future. You should study hard in the crew in the next few months..."
Sheng Yueqing was a little entangled.
Recently, he experienced the feeling of being a star for the first time, no longer being insulted and framed.
Everyone greeted him with a smile, and although the schedule was tight and busy, he felt happy for the first time.
Therefore, when Gu Xingshi told him that he had cut off many of his schedules and had to live in the crew recently, he was a little panicked and lost.
He thought that he had been a little impetuous and a little arrogant recently, which made Mr. Gu unhappy.
It was not until he heard what Gu Xingshi said that he suddenly realized it.
He remembered that he said he wanted to act, and Mr. Gu didn't say anything, but he had been keeping an eye out for suitable roles for him, not to mention that this was a rare opportunity to watch Miao Yaming, Yuan Qingqing and Fu Ya perform live!
Thinking of this, he was ashamed and grateful: "Mr. Gu, don't worry, I will study hard!!"
Gu Xingshi nodded with relief.
Sure enough, for the next period of time, Sheng Yueqing completely calmed down, and was the first to arrive and the last to leave every day.
When there was no filming, he would move a small stool and sit next to the director. He also prepared a small notebook and wrote down any insights he had.
The director also appreciated this kind of young man who was good-looking, well-behaved and studious, and would give him some pointers when he was free.
As for Miao Yaming and others, they were even more willing to guide him.
After Miao Yaming came to the crew, he reunited with Yu Baoer. This time he finally did not make the same mistake as when he was young. He bravely attacked and cared for Yu Baoer silently.
Yu Baoer was also gradually moved by him. The two of them originally played a couple in the play, which added a bit of sweet atmosphere that seemed real and fake.
Miao Yaming was proud of both his career and love, so he was naturally in a good mood.
He also taught Sheng Yueqing all his questions.
Although Sheng Yueqing's acting talent is not as good as Qin Wen's, under the guidance of famous teachers and immersed in the atmosphere of the clash of acting skills of several big names, his acting skills have been improved unconsciously.
His performances in several scenes are remarkable.
Jin Shiheng finally shook off the staff around him and approached the shooting site. He saw Sheng Yueqing sitting next to the director at a glance. The director was pointing at the monitor and talking to him, but it was too far away, so Jin Shiheng couldn't hear clearly.
However, just by looking at the posture, he could guess that Sheng Yueqing, as the protagonist, was probably too bad at acting, and the director could only correct him a little bit.
In the next few days, although he no longer had the opportunity to get close, he also noticed that Sheng Yueqing came early and left late, and he looked thoughtful several times. It seems that his role is not light, and the progress is not very smooth.
He felt relieved and sent the information he had heard to Ning Tianyou.
Ning Tianyou had been waiting impatiently, but after seeing the news, he was instantly happy.
"I thought he was very capable when he was Gu Xingshi!" He sneered, "He wanted to promote another Qin Wen, but it's a pity that the rotten mud can't be helped."
But this is good news for him. What
if Sheng Yueqing's acting skills are too good, and then the brainless fans will have no brains to protect him, which will also affect his future plans.
Thinking of this, he instructed his assistant: "Find some marketing accounts to break the news in advance, saying that the acting of all the actors in Sheng Yueqing's new drama is poor, and first bring down the reputation."
Not long after, some so-called "inside information" began to circulate on the Internet, saying that Sheng Yueqing's recent activities have decreased because he has started acting again, and that all the actors' acting is poor, just to make Sheng Yueqing's acting skills look not so bad. When
these words came out, netizens were also half-believing and half-doubting, and someone immediately ran to Gu Xingshi's Weibo to ask.
Gu Xingshi didn't intend to hide it, and directly admitted it, but he also explained that Sheng Yueqing was not the protagonist, but a supporting role.
But it still caused a lot of outrage.
After all, Sheng Yueqing has acted in dramas before, and his acting skills can't be said to be eye-catching, but they are definitely not good.
He became popular again with stills, which makes people even more worried.
[Aaaaaah, can't he just walk the runway and take some photos? Why does everyone want to squeeze into the acting field! ]
[Acting makes money quickly, and there will be fans who will protect him without thinking]
[I think we should not say that for now. Wasn't "The Six Doors Secret" also not well received at the beginning? I believe that Mr. Gu will not create a pile of garbage]
[Didn't you say he will play a supporting role? It should be okay. Didn't Qin Wen also start out as a supporting role? ]
[It's so funny. Qin Wen was a newcomer at that time, so of course he could only play a supporting role. But with Sheng Yueqing's popularity now, how could he lower himself to play a supporting role? Moreover, his schedule has been released, and there have been no activities for several months. If he is not playing the leading role, why is it necessary? It is impossible that he is learning on the set, right? ]
[I'm saying this, it is definitely a terrible movie, DouX score is over 4, I call everyone here daddy! ]
However, the next second, everyone saw that Gu Xingshi posted a new Weibo, saying that the filming of the play was very exciting, and the acting skills of the protagonist were even more exciting, and he hoped that everyone would support it.
This was simply a pure provocation to those who questioned.
The comments below Gu Xingshi's Weibo immediately exploded, and the topic of "Sheng Yueqing's new drama" directly rushed to the hot search, and it was hard to increase the popularity.
Ning Tianyou was so angry that his blood pressure rose. He took two pills to calm down. Then he asked someone to scold Jin Shiheng. He didn't even know who was the protagonist and who was the supporting role, but he dared to ask him for money.
Jin Shiheng was stunned.
It's impossible!
According to his experience, since Mr. Gu is the leading actor in this drama and Sheng Yueqing has a high traffic, how could he give up the protagonist to play a supporting role?
So in order to find out the truth, he could only drag his back and waist and sneak into the crew again.
At this time, Gu Xingshi was watching Sheng Yueqing filming.
The character played by Sheng Yueqing is called Shichen. He was cold and arrogant in the early stage, and opposed the protagonist group. Once he almost killed the protagonist. However, later, everyone found out that he had been helping them secretly.
Shi Chen has long known that this so-called infinite flow world is false, but a monitoring chip has been implanted in his body. Unless he dies, he cannot get rid of it, so he can only live in this world soberly and painfully.
Until the entry of the protagonist group, he finally saw the hope of being able to destroy this world.
Because of the monitoring chip, he can't let outsiders find out that he is helping the protagonist group, so as not to bring them a catastrophe, so he can only oppose them on the surface, but do a lot for them in private.
But everyone misunderstood him and hurt him, until the moment of crisis, he died to save the protagonist, and finally let them know his true identity.
So far, he has become the white moonlight that the protagonists can't forget.
The part that Sheng Yueqing is about to film recently is about the past of his teacher and minister, which is tragic and depressing.
This is very emotionally exhausting. After each filming, Sheng Yueqing would be so tired that he didn't even want to talk. In order not to be out of character, he didn't even dare to talk to Gu Xingshi, for fear that after talking, he would not be able to find this tragic atmosphere.
Therefore, Jin Shiheng saw Sheng Yueqing walk out of the set indifferently, without even talking to Gu Xingshi.
He was stunned at first. Was this a quarrel?
Before he could figure it out, the staff next to him said, "Why are you in a daze again?"
Jin Shiheng immediately came to his senses and continued to work hard.
Gu Xingshi had just sent Sheng Yueqing to the car and was about to return to the set when he saw Jin Shiheng working hard in the distance. He couldn't help but sigh: "This guy works so hard!"
The system immediately popped up: [Host, this is a big melon! ]
After listening to the system's words, Gu Xingshi glanced at Jin Shiheng again: [Alas, such a good laborer, it's a pity to be a spy. 】
Jin Shiheng was dizzy from moving and was wiping his sweat when he suddenly saw someone squatting in front of him. He was startled and found that it was Gu Xingshi. He was speechless: "Gu Gu Gu... President Gu!!"
Gu Xingshi asked him curiously: "Do you know me?"
Jin Shiheng immediately said with admiration: "I am Jin Shiheng from the publicity department of Sweet Orange Video. I have always admired you, so I took the initiative to apply to come here to help. I hope you don't mind."
"No, why would I mind?" Gu Xingshi said with a smile, "I just need your help with something here!"
Jin Shiheng was flattered.
Although he had thought many times about why he was appreciated by President Gu, and then he would get promoted and get a raise, and reach the peak of his life!
But after sneaking in, he found that the crew was too strictly managed. He couldn't enter the set at all and could only work as a hardworking worker outside.
But he didn't expect that even as a worker, his heroic appearance still attracted Mr. Gu.
He suppressed his excitement and said quickly: "It's my honor to help you, just ask!"
"That's great!"
Gu Xingshi took him directly to the most difficult and tiring part of the crew.
Jin Shiheng was stunned when he saw the workload in front of him: "Boss Gu, you said you wanted my help, no... that's not all you meant, right?"
Gu Xingshi nodded: "Why? Can't you do it?"
Jin Shiheng looked at Gu Xingshi's disappointed expression and suddenly got an idea: "I can do it!" "
Then I'll leave it to you." Gu Xingshi put his hands together with a sincere look on his face, "Don't let me down."
Jin Shiheng: "..."
Only those who endure hardships can become successful!
He couldn't miss the opportunity to get close to him after all the hard work. He had to fight for it!
By the time he finished all the work, it was already evening. He was so tired and hungry that he was dizzy even when he was walking.
At this time, Gu Xingshi came over with a box lunch: "Thank you for your hard work. Your performance really surprised me."
Jin Shiheng, who was originally exhausted, immediately cheered up: "It's not hard!"
Gu Xingshi handed him the meal and said caringly: "Xiao Jin, it's so late, it's not convenient to go back. I have booked a room for you in the hotel. You can stay here."
Hearing his words, Jin Shiheng immediately felt that his tired day had paid off.
Living in the hotel not only makes it closer to General Gu, but also makes it easier to get information. It's killing two birds with one stone!
So he quickly finished his meal and followed Gu Xingshi to the hotel.
Just when Jin Shiheng was thinking about what topic to use to attract Gu's attention, the door of the opposite room suddenly opened, and a man with messy hair and pale skin like a zombie appeared at the door, stretched out his hands, and made unintelligible sounds.
Jin Shiheng was shocked: "He he he... who is he?!"
Gu Xingshi said calmly: "Oh, this is our screenwriter, he is a little frustrated from revising the script every day, don't mind it."
The next second, Sun Hongfei walked out of the room and dragged the screenwriter inside: "Friend, this is only the 30th time to revise it, and it's not finished yet..."
The screenwriter uttered a mournful cry, but he could not get rid of it. He could only grab the door frame in vain and was dragged back to the room inch by inch by Sun Hongfei.
Then with a "bang", the door was slammed shut.
Jin Shiheng shuddered subconsciously.
However, Gu Xingshi had already opened the door: "Come in."
Jin Shiheng followed Gu Xingshi in nervously.
The conditions inside the hotel were very good, the air-conditioning temperature was suitable, and there were fruit snacks and drinks on the table.
Gu Xingshi sat on the sofa and looked at him with a smile: "Xiao Jin, you are from the publicity department, right? You should be familiar with the marketing manuscripts on the Internet, right?"
Jin Shiheng nodded hesitantly.
"That's great." Gu Xingshi turned on the computer on the table, then turned to Jin Shiheng, "Write."
Jin Shiheng: "???"
Seeing that he didn't move, Gu Xingshi frowned, "Such a simple thing, you don't know how to do it, right? Well, I was thinking that I would tell you something more important. In this case, then..."
"I can do it!" Jin Shiheng stood up immediately.
Under Gu Xingshi's admiring eyes, Jin Shiheng buried his head and started typing.
He silently comforted himself that only those who endure hardships can become successful!
As long as President Gu sees his value, he will soon be able to get close to him, get a promotion and a raise, and reach the pinnacle of his life.
However, this chicken blood only supported him to write for an hour.
He was tired and sleepy, and even a trace of doubt emerged in his mind. Why did he always feel that President Gu was PUAing him?
But at this moment, he heard the sound of Gu Xingshi talking on the phone with someone in the half-closed toilet. It sounded like he was discussing the crew's affairs with the director.
He suddenly woke up again, hurriedly wrote it down, and sent it to Ning Tianyou.
When Gu Xingshi finished the call and came out, he saw Jin Shiheng sitting at the table diligently writing a marketing draft.
Gu Xingshi: "Xiao Jin, I'll leave first, I'll leave you here."
Jin Shiheng's typing speed increased instantly: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I will complete the task."
Gu Xingshi left the room contentedly, and sighed to the system: [I said, it's a pity for such a talent to be a spy, we should make the best use of him.]
System: [……]
Trembling.
