Chapter 181 Five Kidnappers
Hu Xiaoxiao and Guan Yinghua have a close personal relationship. Both were Miss Hong Kong pageants and worked together under Charlie, giving them frequent interactions. Hu Xiaoxiao took advantage of the opportunity to participate in the production to polish Guan Yinghua's character. While the overall setting may seem unchanged, the small details add a lot of color to Fang Jiaoer's character.
The crew of "A Smiling, Proud Wanderer" are all old acquaintances to Hu Xiaoxiao. The director is Shao, who has always had a good relationship with Hu Xiaoxiao. The martial arts instructor is also Nie Jinlong, and his relationship with Hu Xiaoxiao goes without saying.
Even if I don’t know the other assistant directors and other staff members well, I still recognize their faces.
Most of the actors who participated in the film had worked together before.
The actor who played the role of Wu Siyuan was the same person who had previously played the young master in "The Legend of Long Yijiang", named Zheng Yuhong. Later, during the anniversary celebration, he and Mingxu played the role of Murong Qianluo together.
They were all familiar faces and there weren't many scenes, so Hu Xiaoxiao was very relaxed on the set. When he had no scenes to act with, he would just eat melon seeds.
After finishing filming, Zheng Yuhong came over and sat next to Hu Xiaoxiao, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and ate them, and said to Hu Xiaoxiao, "Since Mingxu left, I rarely eat snacks on the set."
Mingxu has a lot of snacks, and Zheng Yuhong often asks Mingxu for some food.
Hu Xiaoxiao stared at Guan Yinghua's performance in front of him and said, "You can also take some action yourself."
Zheng Yuhong shook his head and said, "Mingxu is the protagonist. No one except Charlie would dare to say anything if he secretly brought snacks. But if a minor character brought food here every day, it would easily make people dislike him."
"Why don't you think of a way to get to the top?" Once you become famous, you can do whatever you want. You have to give others a hard time. Who would dare to give you a hard time?
Zheng Yuhong smiled, a smile that was somewhat helpless. "When I first debuted, the roles I played were all villains. The audience has formed a stereotype of me. Even if I play a good guy one day, the audience will suspect that I am the mastermind behind the scenes and will kill the protagonist in the finale."
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at him sympathetically. It is easy for the audience to get into the play. When they see you play many bad guys, they will suspect that you are also a bad guy in real life.
It's difficult for a villain to transform into a good guy. Besides the audience's stereotypes, there's also competition among actors. Everyone knows it's hard to play a good guy once you've played a villain, and villains are usually supporting roles, while only good guys can be the protagonists.
Zheng Yuhong was free and told Hu Xiaoxiao about his next drama. "Fortunately, when I played villains, they were mostly ancient costume dramas. I plan to take on more modern dramas in the future and play a good guy in modern dramas."
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at him with admiration: "Your method of transformation is quite interesting. Maybe it can really succeed."
The image of a person wearing ancient clothes and modern clothes is very different, almost like two different people. Changing the image by wearing modern clothes is a good way.
"I came up with this idea after Mingxu's transformation. Mingxu is a leading actor and has a sense of crisis. He transformed himself and entered the film industry while he was young. But I am a supporting actor for a thousand years. If I don't plan my acting career early, I can only play dispensable or hated villains in TV dramas for the rest of my life." He does not have Mingxu's strength and appearance. There is no place for him in the film industry, so he can only survive in the TV industry.
But being successful in television isn't a bad idea. The prerequisite is that you're both popular and have a positive image. Actors don't earn much; the bulk of their income comes from commercials and endorsements, and businesses won't hire a villain as their spokesperson.
"If you want to switch to modern dramas, I can give you some advice." Hu Xiaoxiao talked about his interests and said to Zheng Yuhong.
"Tell me!" Zheng Yuhong asked quickly.
He discussed his work with Hu Xiaoxiao, not only because he wanted to establish a good relationship with her, but also because he wanted to hear her opinions. Hu Xiaoxiao's rapid rise to fame and success in everything she did must have been due to her unique approach.
Hu Xiaoxiao put down the melon seeds, looked at Zheng Yuhong carefully for a while, and suggested a new hairstyle for him.
A suitable hairstyle is a big plus for men, especially in modern dramas, a hairstyle that suits the face shape can make the actor more handsome.
Then Hu Xiaoxiao gave him some suggestions on his dressing. She designed some clothing styles for him based on Zheng Yuhong's temperament.
Zheng Yuhong was enlightened. He listened to everything and began to outline a new image of himself in his mind.
After Chang Wanming finished filming, he also squeezed over and shouted to Hu Xiaoxiao, "Mom!"
Guan Yinghua, who had just finished filming and took a sip of water, spat out all the water when he heard the word "Mom" and choked, and started coughing non-stop.
Hu Xiaoxiao felt even worse. "Hey! This is so lucky! When did I ever give birth to a child as big as you?"
Chang Wanming said with a thick face and a grin, "You play my mother in the play, so you are my mother, right?"
Zheng Yuhong heard this and teased Chang Wanming: "Come on, son, call me dad."
Chang Wanming told Zheng Yuhong to get out, showing his two-faced attitude.
When the other crew members saw this, they couldn't help but laugh.
Hu Xiaoxiao spent a day on set, filming only half the day, and spent the rest of the day giving instructions and eating sunflower seeds. Guan Yinghua was the one who gave the most instructions, but fortunately, she was quick to learn.
After work in the evening, Hu Xiaoxiao drove back to his residence. Just as he walked out of the parking lot and was about to go upstairs, five men suddenly surrounded him.
I don’t know how long these five people guarded her.
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the five men who surrounded her in the dim light of the parking lot. Some were tall, some were short, some were fat, and some were thin. The only thing they had in common was that they all had a vicious and bandit-like aura, and the way they looked at people was both vulgar and sinister.
"Ms. Hu Xiaoxiao, please come with us." The leader was a man with a small mustache and two dragons tattooed on his arm.
Hu Xiaoxiao glanced at the black van parked behind them and asked, "Did Qiu Lihua ask you to come here?"
The five people were obviously stunned for a moment. The man with two dragons on his arms whistled and said, "It seems that Miss Hu also knows who she has offended. In that case, then leave obediently. It's best not to let us use violence. We are rough people and we don't feel sorry for others."
"Where are you taking me? What are you going to do?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked, "Kill people? Destroy corpses?"
"Haha! You think too much. We brothers just want to be friends with Miss Hu. We also heard that Hu Xiaoxiao has a great figure, so we want to take some pictures as a souvenir." The man did not hide the naked look in his eyes when he looked at Hu Xiaoxiao.
"How much did Qiu Lihua give you? I'll double it, and you'll bring him here."
"Tsk tsk, you celebrities are really rich and powerful. However, this is not a business matter. We are very eloquent in our work."
"You don't even want money?" Hu Xiaoxiao laughed. "It seems you have a good relationship with Qiu Lihua. You've done a lot for him, right?"
What were those five bandits before him? They were clearly five large fish.
