Xia Yu auditioned for the role of a villainous female agent, with a total of three scenes.
The first scene is to communicate with the boss and accept the task of attacking and killing the male protagonist from the boss;
The second scene involves chasing the injured male protagonist, only to be injured instead, and he plots secretly;
The third scene involves catching the male protagonist’s fiancée, threatening the male protagonist to hand over a secret list, and finally being shot in the head by the male protagonist, and she dies in the bathtub.
This kind of character has no bright spots, and is just a tool that leads to conflicts between the main plot and the plot.
Although this kind of character was not likable, Xia Yu felt that there was really no need to think about it carefully, but in a professional spirit, he still wrote an 800-word biography of the character to enrich the female villain and prepare for the audition.
While thinking about the script, Xia Yu did not practice the Baguazhang taught by Mr. Liang Quanzhen.
Seeing that she was indeed practicing well and in good shape, Tao Tang also joined the morning training lineup.
However, martial arts really requires a bit of talent. Xia Yu's talent is good, but Tao Tang's is just average.
I can only try my best to catch up with some physical things. Although it is very difficult, I still enjoy it.
Tao Tang didn't go out for the past two days, asking her grandpa and grandma to find resources. In the past few months when Xia Yu was filming, she ran away wherever she could.
It’s not that there is no resources at all, there are some contacts there. Unfortunately, things have changed, and I have to suffer a lot.
Especially after the headlines about boycotting Xia Yu came out on Weibo, several good audition opportunities that were originally negotiated fell through.
The remaining scripts all have marginalized characters, and most of the scripts are bad dramas designed to make money.
This espionage film, General Shorty, was one of the more outstanding ones among the bunch of scripts she could get.
Tao Tang tried to ensure Xia Yu's comeback. Although she had personal selfishness in it, part of the reason was that she didn't want to waste her talent. Therefore, she was also a bit over the top and felt that her talent should not be wasted on making bad dramas.
In a few days, the boycott of Xia Yu has subsided. The fact that Yu Junhao won the Best Actor Award has suppressed most of the Internet popularity. Fewer and fewer people are paying attention to Xia Yu's past "dirty information".
This is undoubtedly a good trend, but it does not mean that there will be no resistance to Xia Yu's comeback. It still exists, but the contradiction is not that deep, but it is definitely dozens of times more difficult than the debut of new faces.
Currently, she wants to officially make her comeback in the public eye, and she probably has to wait until "Stunning Beauty" is officially aired.
"It will take at least half a year for the filming to be completed, post-editing, and submission for review..."
On the afternoon of the 24th, Xia Yu and Tao Tang were ready.
Just before he was about to leave, a phone call from the casting director made Tao Tang's temperament suddenly harden.
"Xiao Tao, the audition in the afternoon has been cancelled. The investor said that he really liked Xia Yu's "The Misty and Rain of the Republic of China". He never had a chance to have a meal. I want to have a meal with Xia Yu. I will send you an address later. In the evening
Come and have a meal with Xia Ye!"
Before putting down the phone, he said, "Don't be late. Whether you can be selected depends on whether the investor can finish the meal."
Tao Tang didn't turn on the speakerphone, but being so close, it was difficult for Xia Yu to hear clearly.
It probably means that originally it was just an audition scene, basically useless, but now, the investors are very optimistic about Xia Yu, but they have to have dinner together!
There was no concern at all whether Tao Tang agreed or not.
Perhaps in a certain part, the vision of the casting director and investors, the faces and opinions of Tao Tang, who has terminated his contract with Shengtang, and Xia Yu, who is no longer confused, are not important at all.
Is it important?
A former front-line actor who was boycotted by the entire network is now at best a third-line actor.
A third-tier actress without the support of her agency wants to make a comeback, and she still claims to be aloof?
Then go ahead and play a small role!
For a role, there are so many actors who are interested in them. It was only two years ago that Xia Yu became famous. How many people are willing to film with her now?
Don't talk about having a meal, or doing something outrageous, as long as the role is in place, maybe everyone will agree!
Furthermore, Xia Yu used to work in the TV industry. Even if he had a job, he was still a newcomer in the film industry. He had no one to support him and had no resources. Even if he could work three times in a movie by a well-known director, it would be a big deal.
Very good.
Tao Tang's face was expressionless, and her whole body exuded an aura that said no strangers should enter her, but in a blink of an eye, she calmed down and digested herself.
Frustration and hardship are the fastest way to train a person. After such a long period of training, Tao Tang is no longer the Tao Tang he was two years ago.
More mature and restrained.
She glanced at Xia Yu who was holding the Yuan Bao calmly, but she didn't see the disdain or even sneer that the girl would show when hearing such words. She didn't know whether the expression in her eyes should be relief or sigh.
Although both of them are eager to make a comeback, they both know that this matter cannot be rushed, and the road must be walked step by step.
Tao Tang has been to this kind of dinner party many times, and he knows that it is not that easy to go through the twists and turns, but he still has to go to this dinner party today.
What if you just have a meal and a drink? The Chinese wine table culture has been around for a long time. Which industry can escape this kind of entertainment?
"I'll try my best to help you hold the dinner and wine in the evening. If you can't hold it back, don't get bored."
Tao Tang told Xia Yu that she knew Xia Yu's drinking capacity very well. Although it was not enough to drink three glasses of wine, compared with these people, it was far from enough.
She was a good drinker. In the past, when she was drunk, she would only find someone she trusted to sleep with, and she would not talk nonsense. Normally, this would be a good thing, but today's dinner must not let her get drunk.
She looked at Xia Yu. She was only 21 years old this year and was still a child. How could she really be forced to drink? She could just go to the bathroom a few more times and spit out the wine before drinking. She still didn't believe it. It was her fault.
I can't drink enough for them to get down.
In Xia Yu's impression, even during the period when she was most popular, she had many dinner parties, and it was impossible to turn down all business cooperation.
The difference is that Xia Yu had the right to choose before, but now if she wants to take a role, she has no right to refuse.
For the next half day, especially after receiving a text message from the casting director of "Ode to War", Tao Tang felt a little depressed.
Maybe it's a common problem among women. Even if Tao Tang is a workaholic, she can't help but be sentimental sometimes.
She was a little annoyed, "Yubao, we may not be able to wait for a good role for a year and a half."
"Is that so? Didn't we agree before we came out of Huliang? We even made plans to play a small role? Sister Tang, are you scared?"
"Afraid? When have I, Tao Tang, ever been afraid? I...well, I'm really a little scared, afraid that our efforts will not yield good results..."
"Yes, but why don't you work hard because you are afraid of this? It's not at all like Sister Tang's temperament to look forward and backward."
"What do you think of Sister Tang?"
"Smart, capable, hard-working Sanniang..."
In late spring and early summer, the two sisters, who had not talked for a long time, were sitting together on a wicker chair in the yard. One was petting a cat, and the other had her eyes closed. They talked like that, listening to the water dripping from the faucet that was slightly turned on.
There is a "ticking" sound inside.
However, this kind of escaping from reality can only be done for a few times. When you turn around, you will eventually return to reality.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the two reluctantly got up and went back to the house to pack their things.
At five o'clock sharp, I put on light makeup, changed clothes, put on shoes, and walked out of the small courtyard. Little Chery was at the door, and Tao Tang got in the car first.
As soon as Xia Yu's hand touched the car door handle, suddenly a text message sounded on her mobile phone. It was the final payment from "Stunning Beauty Per Capita".
Seventy thousand yuan.
With the final payment received, she finally had the confidence to choose a system course.
At the same time, the WeChat notification beeped twice in succession. She subconsciously opened it and Xia Yu was stunned when she saw the content.
"What's wrong?" Tao Tang saw her dazed outside the car and asked her while starting the car.
Xia Yu hesitated for about two or three seconds, then re-read the WeChat messages on both sides. After confirming that they were correct, he knocked on the car window and smiled at Tao Tang.
