"Xiao Xu, what's going on? I heard that you almost died a while ago?"
Xu Rong was wrapped in a thick down jacket and joined the film crew again. As soon as Li Youbin saw him, he ran over and took his hand to greet him.
Xu Rong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and had to say: "Actually, it's not as serious as you said. It's just that I'm freezing. Fortunately, it's not serious."
Li Youbin looked at him carefully and said, "Hey, I'm looking at you, but you've lost weight. Why haven't you had a good rest during this period?"
The feeling of intimacy was like finding a long-lost biological son.
Something is wrong.
Xu Rong was keenly aware that something was quite wrong.
Li Youbin was too enthusiastic today. This was his seventh transition. Every time he met Li Youbin during previous transitions, I had never seen him so concerned. He usually said: "Here you are?"
Xu Rong subconsciously pulled his arm out of Li Youbin's hand, looked at him suspiciously, and asked in a low voice: "Is something wrong?"
The crew has enough alcohol, so Li Youbin doesn’t need to treat himself to any more guests, right?
"Why are you hiding so far away?" Li Youbin saw Xu Rong's vigilant eyes mixed with wariness, and his expression was like changing his face in a Sichuan opera. He said in a bluster at first, then suddenly became much softer, and took two steps forward.
He spoke earnestly and sincerely: "Don't I feel sorry for you, your father? Of our three sons, you are the one who has the hardest time, traveling all over the world all day long."
"You can pull me down." Xu Rong listened to his lame excuse and didn't believe it at all. Li Youbin's acting style was very different from Chen Baoguo's. He was not deeply involved in the drama. In contrast, Li Youbin paid more attention to the use of skills.
Emotions come second.
"Oh, let me tell you the truth." Li Youbin paused, his face suddenly turned pale, he sighed, pulled Xu Rong to the side, and whispered: "When I took this role, the contract actually
There is a gambling agreement attached. If the ratings are not among the top ten in the year, I will work for free and not lose a penny."
Xu Rong looked at Li Youbin blankly, half convinced and doubtful. The key thing is, would Li Youbin really sign such a gambling agreement?
Is that necessary?
No matter how you think about it, this is a sure-fire deal.
He thought of a possibility and asked tentatively: "What if the bet wins?"
Li Youbin stretched out two fingers, shook them in mid-air, and said: "2.5 times."
"Hiss" Xu Rong thought for a moment, and when the specific concept appeared in his mind, he couldn't help but take a breath. This temptation is really amazing.
Li Youbin's current salary is already above average among A-listers. What's the point of multiplying it by 2.5 times?
RMB 300,000 per episode, but there are only 52 episodes of "Crossing Guandong". As the actual male lead, he basically has more than five scenes in each episode.
Moreover, Li Youbin has not signed a contract with a brokerage company, so he does not have to worry about the company taking a commission. If he wins the bet, he can get tens of millions even after paying the taxes.
Think about yourself again. The last time I got a salary of 90,000 yuan, I was happy for a long time. It was also filming, and people paid him three months a day.
Seeing Xu Rong's stunned jaws, Li Youbin hurriedly said: "What I want to tell you is not about more money and less money. To be honest, it's a lot of pressure. I've been thinking about it for a while. Whether it can be done or not, it all depends on us.
Woolen cloth."
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger, first pointed at himself, and then tapped Xu Rong's chest.
Xu Rong didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. In terms of business ability, Ding Jiali, Gao Ming and others were excluded. Among the creatives, only Li Youbin could completely suppress him.
But no matter how he thought about it, he still felt that what Li Youbin did was reckless, so he said: "No, but the risk of doing it like that is too great. If you don't achieve it in the end, wouldn't your work this year have been in vain?"
Xu Rong understands Li Youbin's situation. He has been very tight recently. If he works hard for another year in vain, it will really make matters worse.
"Who says it's not?" Li Youbin lit a cigarette and said with a sad expression: "But you also know that I... I was really short of money at that time. When people said it, my brain got hot, so I signed it.
How could I have dared to think about tens of millions before? It’s like a dream.”
Seeing Li Youbin's regretful expression, Xu Rong believed most of it in his heart. He knew that Li Youbin was indeed short of money at the beginning of the year, and it would probably cost a lot to quell negative public opinion. He couldn't help but ask: "What are you going to do?"
Li Youbin took a drag on his cigarette, looked him up and down again, and said, "I see that you are almost out of control with your transition, and you don't have an assistant to help you. How about this, you go to my room tonight,
I'll give you a line, you need to find your state first, you can't get into trouble."
Xu Rong also understood that what Li Youbin said was indeed correct. He ran in both directions between the two groups, and the two groups kept switching. He was really tired from the tossing, and his condition was also greatly affected by the hot and cold weather.
He only hesitated for a moment, then responded and said, "Okay, I'll go find you after work in the evening."
Xu Rong is not too worried about Li Youbin's gambling agreement. A "Bright Sword" will be enough for Li Youbin to make money for a few more years. Coupled with the popularity of "Stepfather", even if the pot cannot be revealed this year, he will still make money next year.
Got money.
And as "Stepfather" played halfway through, his prediction was once again proven that Li Youbin was really a cancer, and if he couldn't be suppressed, he would be suppressed to death.
However, he also knew that when he was filming "Stepfather", his professional level was really average, and he only found his form towards the end. The reason why he was suppressed by Li Youbin was largely due to his own ability.
After the two agreed, they went about their own business. After work was over in the evening, Xu Rong went back to the hotel to take off her makeup. Seizing the hard-won opportunity to shoot in the city, she first took a hot bath and waited until she came back.
Then transitioning to the outdoor scene, the difficulty of taking a shower has increased exponentially.
After finishing cleaning, he went out and walked to the door of Li Youbin's room. It seemed that Li Youbin had been waiting for him for a long time. He only knocked once and the door opened, revealing a bitter face.
Li Youbin stepped aside and asked, "What took you so long?"
"I took a bath, which is very tiring. I was in Xuexiang a while ago, and you didn't know that it was difficult to even drink hot water. If you eat slowly, it will feel cold."
Xu Rong sighed and entered the door. The room was clean and tidy, except for an ashtray placed beside the table outside the suite, and in the middle of the table, there was a golden trophy.
The red base of the trophy has a metal shape of a golden woman holding up her hands. The woman is holding a small eagle in her hand.
Of course Xu Rong recognized what this trophy was, the Golden Eagle Trophy. Among the three TV drama awards, it was the honor with the least technical content, but it was the most profitable honor.
Seeing the trophy, Xu Rong completely understood that Li Youbin had signed a gambling agreement, and that he wanted to act with him. It was clear that he wanted to show off the Golden Eagle Award he had just won a while ago.
He pursed his lips and said nothing.
When Li Youbin saw Xu Rongzi entering the house, he seemed stunned. His eyes were fixed on the trophy on the table without saying a word, "Sit down, why are you just standing there? Why do I have to invite you?"
"
Xu Rong sat silently.
Li Youbin poured him a glass of water. Seeing Xu Rong still staring at the trophy, he said impatiently: "Xiao Xu, what's so good about this thing? You don't know, it's just a piece of scrap metal, where can I put it?"
It's an eyesore, but I thought about it over and over and couldn't find anywhere to put it. If I wasn't afraid of people saying it, I would have thrown it away long ago."
Xu Rong took a breath quietly, pulled his eyes away from the trophy, turned his head silently, looked at Li Youbin doubtfully, and asked: "Which street stall did you buy it from? It looks like the real thing, it costs twenty or thirty yuan."
Money?"
As if Li Youbin didn't hear what he said, he sat on the single sofa beside him, sighed deeply, and said with a depressed face: "You don't know, you made me so angry last time, just because of the popularity of the party."
The award was actually taken away by Zhang Guoli. You judge, our "Bright Sword" is not more popular than him? Do you think this is popularity or irritation?"
Xu Rong had the urge to run away, but when Li Youbin saw him turning his head, he hurriedly leaned over, stretched out his hand to grab him, and said with a smile: "The Lord has been very annoyed these days, so after seeing you... forget it.
Forget it, let’s not talk about these troublesome things, come on, let’s arrange the play for tomorrow and try to get another one later.”
Xu Rongmuran, I know you won the award, but I didn’t call you to congratulate you. Is it worth this?
He was just on guard against this guy pretending to be in front of him, but he ended up sending him to his door today.
But rehearsing is still important. Li Youbin is right, he really needs to stabilize his condition.
"wrong."
As soon as a scene was rehearsed, Li Youbin reached out to stop him and said: "Hey, Xiao Xu, that's not right, you have to use a prop."
Li Youbin turned around and looked around the room, and finally turned his attention back to the trophy on the table, pushing it towards Xu Rong: "Forget it, I don't have any bowls in this room, just use this as a prop.
"
Xu Rong forced out a smile and said: "Okay."
The two began to rehearse the play again, and this time they said two lines. Li Youbin shouted to stop again, and said with a serious face: "Xiao Xu, I have to criticize you a few words. You can't become an old man just by filming. Let's
Actors must be dedicated, no matter whether they are filming or rehearsing, you cannot fool them. If you fool the audience, the audience will also fool you."
He paused, picked up the trophy, and said with a stern expression: "For example, this bowl, hey, you have to pick it up. Look, this luster... Ahem, he asked you to use this prop. You
You have to pick it up. Although we are rehearsing a play, you have to treat it as if it were a real shot."
Xu Rong nodded silently, "Okay, you are Shidi, just be happy."
When Li Youbin sent Xu Rong out of the room with a smile on his face, Xu Rong finally let out a sigh of relief. He had never seen such a shameless person.
For two whole hours, I was so dazzling by changing the method.
"Xiao Xu, come back tomorrow. You still have a lot of room for improvement in this state." Li Youbin saw Xu Rong without looking back, pulling the door handle, with a face like a chrysanthemum blooming in September, and facing the corridor
