Huang Lei has been a little annoyed lately. I can’t say that it’s been recently. It should have been since last year.
I have been on the stage of drama since I was six years old. It has been more than thirty years now. During this period, I have filmed many TV series, movies and even released records.
The time spent by any one of them is longer than that of participating in variety shows. As for myself, I should be an actor.
Then my daily work must be mainly about acting.
But since he finished filming "Street Food", in the past two years, the crew has not waved to him. Apart from a guest appearance in a movie by his friend Huang Bo, he has never accepted any other roles.
Have you become lazy?
That's not right. Filming a variety show is not necessarily any easier than a TV series, especially when you meet people like Su Yan who have to give their best.
During the Running Man period, there was a drama that looked good, and the producer found him to play the male lead.
At that time, in order to support the director of my company, I had no choice but to decline. However, after the other party knew the reason, he took the initiative to postpone the filming time.
But I didn't expect that Su Yan would open "Three Meals a Day" directly after filming.
He had no choice but to shamelessly tell the producer that he was quitting. This made it unimaginable for the producer. You said that you are an actor and have not been doing your job properly. Even if it is your own company's business, there is no need to participate in it. The benefits that TV series can bring,
Is it comparable to variety shows?
Well! Indeed it can!
After the program started airing on YanTV, Huang Lei received more invitations, many of which were for large-scale productions. I hope he can come and participate.
This is even several times more than before.
Normally speaking, when you reach Huang Lei's level, you want to add color and blessing to the program. You had the same idea when you first joined, but you didn't expect that the program's feedback would be so brutal in the end, and you seemed to have taken advantage.
As for the drama, Huang Lei won't do it. This is unfair to the crew. Maybe he won't say anything, but there will always be times when the time doesn't match up, and that means the entire crew is waiting for one person.
In addition, my energy is limited, and I am not a young person in my teens or 20s. I will be fine if I don't sleep for two or three days.
Before the filming of "Infinite Challenge" started, I also discussed this matter with my wife.
What she said is actually very simple, just think it's good. Anyway, the family is not short of money now, and you are not short of reputation either.
How could Huang Lei not understand what his wife meant, which was to go home more often to spend time with her and the children?
In the past, it would take three or two months to film a TV series, and you would be out of town, so it was not easy to come back even once.
The past two years have been pretty good. I can basically stay at home for a few days every week. As for the money, to be honest, I’ve made quite a lot of money.
But people are really much more relaxed.
Therefore, what worries Huang Lei is that he enjoys the current pace of work and life, but he is an actor by profession, and he will feel uncomfortable if there is no work released for a long time.
To put it bluntly, although I know the truth, I just can't get over the hurdle in my heart.
For this reason, Huang Lei found a professional, none other than his own father.
Speaking of Dad Huang, he is an old artist. He has devoted himself to the drama industry all his life and has also participated in the filming of many TV movies.
The old man didn't take his son's troubles seriously.
"You are not one of those popular celebrities who need to take advantage of the popularity and take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
I've been watching the recently filmed program and it's very good. I think I can continue it.
As for whether to accept TV series or movies, it all depends on the quality of the movie itself. If it is really good and you like it, then it is not a problem. You just need to adjust the time yourself.
Acting is just a profession, and it is no different from other jobs. Don't think too much about it.
I watched the news a few days ago, and there was a newcomer showing off to the director, and I knew how to recite my lines."
When the old man said this, he sighed.
"Since when does even basic memorization of lines become a reason for praise?
The audience in front of the TV are our food and clothing parents. If you can make them happy, whether you are filming a TV show or a variety show, it is considered a success!
I believe you already know the rest, so I won’t say more.”
After returning from the old man's place, Huang Lei felt that the path he wanted to take was clearly revealed.
In fact, how could he not understand these principles? He just wanted to prove that he was right.
Currently, I am focusing on "Infinite Challenge" and leaving everything else to chance. If there is a really good script, I will take it.
There are some big stars, many of whom will release a work every two or three years.
As for the sense of mystery, Huang Lei doesn't care about the actor's image. No matter how old the child is, he doesn't care about that.
Even if the image is fixed, the big deal is that I will do more comedies in the future, and it will be great to feel happy after watching it.
What makes Huang Lei so tough is the increase in fans.
Previously, the number of followers on Weibo had been floating around 30 million. It has been rising crazily during this period, and it is already heading towards 40 million.
At first, I thought it was someone from the company buying fans for me, but after asking, I realized that this was a real increase.
This last time I finished playing Canteen, even though I didn't say it, I was actually reading the scoldings on the Internet, including Douban ratings, etc. It's not a taste of psychological thieves.
Therefore, now, for scripts, agents have to read them first and then screen them once they are sent to them.
I am sitting in an office with the air conditioner blowing, reading a thick script.
Suddenly I heard a noise outside.
Miss Acha took a newspaper and waved it in her hand: "Xiao Nanyuan is in the gossip newspaper!"
A bunch of staff looked at her strangely.
"What's so strange about celebrities appearing in newspapers?"
Ah Cha looked mysterious: "This time is different, there is a scandal.
Popular variety show stars have a secret meeting late at night and the whole thing is filmed.
What do you think, is this title exciting?"
Everyone was attracted, and Huang Lei left the office. Brother Nan is now a famous person, so naturally he should be concerned about it if there is a scandal.
"At around 11:30 last night, Xiao Nanyuan dressed casually and came to a building in Shanghai alone. After waiting for about five minutes, a man wearing a mask and a hat came out. The two chatted happily and then entered the building until one o'clock in the morning.
Only then did he appear again, looking depressed."
"Pfft!" Several people couldn't hold back and sprayed all over the table.
"What do you mean? Male? Not rumored to be having an affair with a female celebrity?"
"I said it's really a bit different for Ah Cha to go to such trouble to talk to us."
"It turns out that Xiaonan is like this Xiaonan."
"I have discovered a long time ago that Xiao Nanyuan always looks at me in the wrong way."
"Get off and drive!"
"The expression is sluggish, this time it was used very delicately!"
Everyone was rushing to pass it on, watching the so-called breaking news.
Huang Lei was a little confused, picked up the phone and dialed Xiao Nanyuan's number.
"Hey, hello, Teacher Huang!"
The voice seemed like he hadn't woken up yet.
"What did you do last night?" Huang Lei got straight to the point.
"Me?" Perhaps because his head was still awake, his reaction was a little slow: "Hey, don't mention it, hasn't Peng Yan been here these days?
I was thinking about learning how to keep fit with him. I also want those tendons.
Last night I made an appointment to go to the gym he often goes to and worked out all night, and now my whole body hurts."
"Okay, I understand." Huang Lei was just in case: "By the way, what do you think of the sound engineer Xiao Liao?"
Suddenly I remembered that this guy said that Brother Nan looked at him differently.
