Chapter 179



The box office of "Red Actress" is rising steadily, and Chu Meibo, the heroine, has also seen her value soar. Various scripts have been sent to Shen Huai like snowflakes, but Shen Huai is even more cautious than before when choosing scripts.

In addition, "East Side Fog" has recently been completed and entered the promotion stage, so Shen Huai has become even busier.

The project of "East Side Fog" was initially considered a joke. After all, it is a third-rate novel, coupled with an unprofessional director, and the two leading actors are Mr. Guo, who is famous for his dandy style, and a little transparent man who has only appeared in online dramas and TV dramas.

This combination is unprofessional everywhere, and it is thanks to Guo Wenyuan being the boss that this drama can be filmed.

The filming of this drama was very low-key. It was not until the filming was completed that some people in the industry realized that such a frivolous crew had actually finished filming this drama? ?

Until the screening of "East Side Mist" was released, the industry was still not optimistic about it, and Lao Guo did not promote it in a big way, so there were very few people who attended, and it was very deserted.

However, there was a person named Wang Hao among them. He is the deputy director of the film purchasing department of Zhongjing TV Station. The original director is about to retire, and he and another deputy director have been trying their best to compete for the position recently.

Originally, he would not come to the screening of "East Side Mist". His current goal is those top dramas that can determine the victory or defeat.

However, he and Zhang Li are good friends. After "Star of Tomorrow" and "All People's Idol", Zhang Li has been full of admiration for Shen Huai's vision. When Wang Hao went to her to complain, Zhang Li mentioned "East Side Mist" casually.

Wang Hao was skeptical, but Zhang Li's determined expression made him a little uncertain, so he came to the screening of "East Side Mist" with a nonchalant mentality.

But when he arrived at the screening and saw the sparse crowd, Wang Hao immediately regretted it, but since he was here, he could only sit down.

What made him feel better was that the screening did not have too many pretentious procedures. Guo Wenyuan, as the investor, producer and starring actor, just went on stage to give a speech and then started playing.

Wang Hao was originally complaining to his friend, but he didn't put away his phone when he saw this. He just muted it and waited until he was bored to chat with his friend.

Who knew that he would wait until the first episode was over.

Wang Hao came back to his senses with a lingering feeling. He hadn't watched a TV series so seriously for a long time. It was really rare for people like them in the industry, but it also proved how good "East Side Mist" was.

Wang Hao put away his previous carelessness and showed a determined expression.

At this time, he realized that his friend on WeChat was almost crazy.

[What's going on? Were you kidnapped? ! At least reply to me! ]

Wang Hao replied hurriedly, then stuffed the phone into his pocket and walked towards Guo Wenyuan.

In addition to Wang Hao, there were people from other TV stations present, but unfortunately most of them were not as well-known as Wang Hao, and they were not as rich as Zhongjing TV Station, so they could only watch Wang Hao take "East Side Mist" into his pocket.

Although Wang Hao bought "East Side Mist" on impulse, he was not without trepidation. He only relied on his professional qualities to withstand the pressure and buy it back.

Unfortunately, the station was not optimistic about "East Side Mist", so it had not arranged a schedule.

Wang Hao's opponent grabbed the prime time and mocked Wang Hao several times, openly and secretly. Wang Hao was angry, but he could not say anything.

Until "Red Actress" became a hit.

Guo Wenyuan's character Yokota also became popular. His superb acting skills and his identity also attracted the attention of many netizens and attracted a lot of fans.

At the same time, the drama that Wang Hao's opponent pushed into the prime time slot was criticized by netizens because of its slow pace and suspenseful plot. The ratings also dropped all the way and finally fell to the point of being cut off.

Zhongjing TV Station then urgently moved "East Side Mist" into the prime time slot to save the precarious ratings.

At the same time, the number of views of "East Side Mist" on Fanqie.com soared, and it was called the best spy drama of the year. Not only was the number of views high, but the discussion was also high, and most of the feedback was positive.

"East Side Fog" is well-made. Although it is a spy drama, it is not a setting of deep hatred. The protagonist Ning Shen has a carefree personality and makes some jokes from time to time. The plot rhythm is well-paced, which makes the audience have a very good experience of following the drama.

In addition to Ning Shen, the most attractive character in the play is the villain Urano Soji.

Song Yimian has a handsome and elegant appearance. When he plays a gentle and elegant student, he wears a simple student uniform, his hair hangs softly on his forehead, his eyebrows are slightly curved, and the corners of his lips are slightly raised. It is simply a picture of a peaceful time.

But when he resumed his identity and became the vicious and cruel Urano Soji, he combed his black hair back, put on gold-rimmed glasses, and wore a neat military uniform, exuding a kind of gentlemanly temperament.

The two identities of this character have different temperaments, but they are also in the same vein. The difficulty of playing is not low, but under Song Yimian's interpretation, the character of Urano Soji appears to be flesh and blood, making people love and hate him.

His ability to portray the character is no worse than any professional actor.

Under the sharp eyes of netizens, Song Yimian's identity was soon dug out. They discovered that Song Yimian was the little brother who played the forensic doctor in the popular online drama "Eternal Night Crime" last year.

After the hit of "Eternal Night's Crime" last year, the popularity of several leading actors soared. At that time, the forensic doctor played by Song Yimian was also very popular, but Song Yimian was obviously not interested in this. Apart from participating in the initial promotion, he rarely participated in variety shows later and did not even shoot a few commercials. Therefore, he was quickly forgotten by forgetful netizens.

Netizens did not expect that Song Yimian would give up the popularity and benefits that were within his reach and focus on acting, and handed in such a satisfactory answer this year.

And not only that, netizens soon discovered that Song Yimian also had a wonderful performance in "Red Actress". Although he played a young and progressive student and did not appear on the screen for a long time, his performance was by no means inferior to the veteran actors in the same show.

And what is very coincidental is that in "Red Actress", Song Yimian played the role of a progressive student, while Guo Wenyuan played the role of Japanese military officer Yokota. In "East Side Mist", the identities of the two are completely reversed. Guo Wenyuan played the patriotic journalist Ning Shen, while Song Yimian played the villain Japanese military officer Urano Shoji.

Such a coincidence is so dramatic that netizens couldn't help but leave messages to the two on Weibo.

[Everyone is a bad guy once, it's fair hhhh]

[If Yokota knew that the progressive student he shot that year would torture him with pepper water and tiger bench in a parallel universe, would he regret killing him, or would he regret killing him too easily [laugh and cry][laugh and cry][laugh and cry]]

[@Song Yimian, my boy! Please be nicer to Ning Shen. We were both revolutionaries back then, why are you so eager to hurt each other now?]

[Is this probably... retribution?]

Even when the two of them went to participate in a program together to promote "Eastern City Mist", the host couldn't help but tease their relationship.

"Netizens all say that the reason why you, Mr. Guo, are so miserable in "East City Fog" is that you bullied our Yimian in "Red Actress". Now you are suffering retribution. Do you regret it?"

Guo Wenyuan said calmly: "It's retribution. This tells us to be a good person and not do bad things."

The host: "..."

She asked Song Yimian unwillingly: "What do you think, Xiao Song?"

Song Yimian smiled shyly: "I think Mr. Guo is right."

The host: "..."

——Shen

Huai slid the mouse and looked at the news about Song Yimian on the Internet.

Song Yimian is shy and honest, not as smooth as most stars, so when Huarong stuffed him into the variety show, he always stood in the corner, silently being a small transparent person that no one paid attention to.

Hua Rong resented his dull temper, but in Shen Huai's eyes, this was Song Yimian's advantage.

Nowadays, Song Yimian is gradually becoming more popular, but there is still not much improvement in social life. Fortunately, Guo Wenyuan is there to help, so it is a little better.

But this does not affect his fans' love for him. Now the number of Song Yimian's Weibo fans is growing at a crazy rate every day.

He has good looks and acting skills, and now he is popular again. It can be expected that he will have a bright and smooth road in the future.

However, Shen Huai's expression was very solemn.

Song Yimian once wanted to challenge difficult art films and wanted to study his acting skills. He could stay in the crew of "Red Actress" for more than half a year to learn acting skills. He could also watch documentaries and historical documents crazily to better portray the characters. He even jumped into the cold water for a shot. Even if he was shivering with cold, he refused to rest.

But now that he has enjoyed fame and fortune, can Song Yimian still stick to the path he once wanted to take?

Shen Huai didn't know.

At this time, Song Yimian knocked on the door and came in: "Brother Shen, are you looking for me?"

Song Yimian at this time is far from the simple look of the past. He has re-done his hairstyle and his clothes are matched by a costume designer, which makes him look more handsome and fashionable.

Shen Huai turned off the screen and looked at Song Yimian: "I want to ask you, what are your plans for the future?"

Song Yimian was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips.

Shen Huai vaguely guessed something, sighed, and said: "You don't have to feel burdened, just tell me your true thoughts."

In fact, Shen Huai can understand Song Yimian. Most people think they can resist fame and fortune before they really feel it, but when they really enjoy it, they will almost fall.

"Sugar-coated bullets" are far more terrifying than real bullets.

This is also why big guys like Ye Cang seem so precious.

Shen Huai took out two scripts from the drawer and said to Song Yimian, "One of these two scripts is about the leading actor in director Zhang Shaojun's new play, and the other is about the new movie by the up-and-coming director Lin Jia."

Shen Huai paused and then explained, "Director Zhang Shaojun is a top director in China. This new play is a big-budget movie that he has been preparing for three years. He admires your acting skills very much, and the script is also very good. This role is also very suitable for you."

"As for the play directed by Lin Jia, although he is young, he is a very talented director, especially good at training actors. This role is very difficult, the emotions are very complicated, and it is very challenging, but I think this role will also be a great improvement for you."

Shen Huai looked at Song Yimian seriously: "I am not testing you. I still say that no matter which path you choose, I respect you."

Song Yimian understood very well. In fact, there was no need for Shen Huai to explain it specifically. The two scripts he took out were enough to prove it.

Both of these scripts are very good. They were carefully selected by Shen Huai and fought for him.

A sour emotion surged in his heart, not only because of Shen Huai's intentions, but also because of his deep consideration.

Song Yimian reached out and took Lin Jia's script.

Shen Huai was surprised by his choice. He was stunned for a moment: "Would you like to reconsider it?"

Song Yimian shook his head with a smile on his face. His voice was soft but firm: "I remember that you said at the beginning, Brother Shen, that you signed me because you believed in my potential and you thought I could be an excellent actor."

"Brother Shen, I don't want to let you down."
