China Entertainment 1997

Backstage at the Spring Festival Gala, the mentality and atmosphere of artists who have finished their performances and those who are waiting to perform are completely different concepts.

Therefore, artists who have finished their performance should either rest and stop running around, or leave the venue quickly.

Anyway, there is only one principle: don’t disturb the artists performing behind you.

Cao Xuan took off his makeup, changed his clothes, thanked the dancers, and left in the car with Zhang Chong.

Not long after I left the CCTV gate, I saw two people walking alone on the roadside against the cold wind. When I looked carefully, I saw it was International Zhang and her assistant.

After all, he was an acquaintance, so Cao Xuan pretended not to see him and walked away, so he stopped the car and asked.

"Why is no one picking up?"

International Zhang was wearing a down jacket and was in good condition, but his face was whitened by the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month: "The driver's car broke down on the road. I wanted to hail a taxi. There are too few cars during the New Year."

Now that the conversation has come to this, Cao Xuan can't say "Then just wait" and turn around to open the car door.

"Oh, why don't you take my car?"

"thank you."

This was what International Zhang was waiting for. As soon as Cao Xuan finished speaking, he got into the car with his assistant.

After asking for the address of Jiujiazhang's home, Cao Xuan looked at the two people slowly coming over in the car and couldn't help but joke.

"Your company doesn't pay much attention to you, a dignified young girl. You even have to buy a car right away."

"Hey, it's hard to put it into words."

International Chapter is currently contracted with an entertainment company that New Picture cooperates with. The company is too weak and its hardware is mediocre in all aspects.

Whether it is participating in the Spring Festival Gala this time or taking part in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it all depends on Zhang Ziyi's own efforts and the influence of Mou Girl.

After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhang Ziyi gained a certain reputation in Hollywood. She signed a contract with the famous agency WMA William Morris Agency, and hooked up with brother Cheng Long. Together with Lao Mouzi's many blockbusters, she gradually evolved into International Chapter.

"I heard that Jingjing signed a contract with your company?"

Jiujiazhang has always been dissatisfied with his agency. This time he met Cao Xuan and took up his idea.

"If you want to sign Fanxing, you're welcome, but I don't have film resources here, and my TV resources are all in tatters."

Cao Xuan didn't mind taking the International Chapter under his command, but Fanxing Temple was small and couldn't fit in the big Buddha.

At the moment, it's okay to say that Cao Xuan is a rookie in the international chapter, and Cao Xuan can feed her with a little effort, but once "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is released, Fanxing may immediately become a "burden".

Sure enough, after hearing that Fanxing had no film resources, International Chapter visibly lost interest.

His debut film was the film in which Lao Mouzi won the Silver Bear in Berlin, and now he has taken on a new film by Li Eucalyptus, who has a certain status in Hollywood.

Although her role in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is still a bit precarious, her international horizons have also improved.

You may not be able to watch ordinary movies, let alone TV series.

In fact, Later International Zhang has always been making movies and never accepted TV series. It was not until he financed and produced an online series that he "condescended to the world".

As a result, the group mocked her as a "forty-year-old girl" and her face was slapped and swollen...

"If we don't talk about this, how are you and Jingjing doing?"

She had no intention of signing a contract with Fanxing, so the International Chapter forcibly changed the topic and started gossiping. Cao Xuan refused to accept her suggestion and took the initiative to pretend to be stupid: "What happened?"

"This is boring for you. Jingjing and I are good sisters, so you didn't even tell me this."

Cao Xuan said hehe, but just ignored her.

The dormitory of Class 96 of Chinese Opera was quite harmonious during the freshman and sophomore years. Later, as each one took on roles one after another and grew up, small groups were formed.

Zeng Li and Yuan Quan have the best relationship. Hu Jing used to be the closest to Zeng Li, but now it is Zhang Tong who plays more, and Mei Ting, who dropped out of school, also keeps in touch.

Qin Hailu is carefree and generous, and can chat with anyone. She also moved out of the dormitory early and doesn't get involved in taking sides, so she is single.

On the contrary, it was the International Chapter who took on the director's role, became a lot more arrogant, and was generally popular in the dormitory.

Cao Xuan didn't know about the others, but of the two in his family, Zeng Li had a mediocre impression of them, and Hu Jing was slightly better, but she was also a "plastic sister".

Of course, this is only for the internal roommates. Compared with other female artists, their four-year college friendship is quite deep.

But for Cao Xuan, Yuan Quan can only trust these golden flowers from Class 96, for the sake of her and Zeng Li's best friend.

Qin Hailu and Zhang Tong are half and half, Mei Ting and Li Xinyu have not been in contact, so I will not comment.

As for the international chapter, the trust level does not exceed 30%.

Moreover, he was not familiar with International Zhang, so there was no need to talk to her about his private emotional life.

International Chapter was asking for trouble, and began to inquire about Cao Xuan's career, such as when will the next album be released, where will the concert be held, and what level of appearance fees and endorsements will be given.

Cao Xuan was annoyed by what she heard and didn't know whether to complain that she was too familiar or that she didn't know how to behave.

After mumbling for a while, I waited until I got to the place, released the two of them from the International Chapter, and drove away.

What he didn't know was that after he left, Zhang Ziyi immediately put away the "innocent" look on his face and muttered angrily.

"Not interested."

The assistant next to him nodded in agreement, then felt pity.

The new king of the Chinese language, an absolute potential stock. Even if he can't win, if he behaves more closely, the scandal of "The King's Girlfriend" can increase Zhang Ziyi's fame several times.

But he didn't accept the move and his "true feelings" ended up being wasted...

………

On the way back, Cao Xuan also gradually thought about it.

It wasn't that he was slow to react, but he didn't expect Zhang Ziyi to take advantage of his roommate. More importantly, Zhang Ziyi had a boyfriend at this time.

Zeng Li and Hu Jing both said that Zhang Ziyi is not single, but they don't know who she is.

At school, Zhang had a brief chat with a boy in Class 96, and later met a singer, who seemed to be Gao Feng, who sang "Greater China".

Because of this, Cao Xuan never thought that Zhang Ziyi would have thoughts about him, so he didn't react for a moment.

But now he realized that Cao Xuan didn't take it to heart. The two at home didn't know what to do, so he couldn't think of dealing with the International Chapter.

As his career became more and more successful, more and more female stars were coveting Cao Xuan, and he had long been accustomed to ignoring them.

But having said that, Zhao Wei was not familiar with the future Si Dan Shuang Bing, Zhou Gongzi and Li Bingbing were considered friends, and the other three had all thought about him to varying degrees.

Cao Xuan did the math and found that he was treated the same as brother Cheng Long.

The noodles are served in no time!

After returning home, Cao Xuan had some food, watched the Spring Festival Gala with his parents, set off two firecrackers, and then ran to the bedroom to chat with Zeng Li and Hu Jing through text messages.

The next day, Cao Xuan was awakened by the sound of firecrackers. He washed briefly and rested comfortably at home for a long time. In the afternoon, he went to the supermarket with his parents to pick out New Year gifts.

Then two supermarkets and three shopping malls all played his "Gong Xi Fa Cai", which made Cao Xuan's ears tingle.

Speaking of which, during the Spring Festival this year, many people approached Cao Xuan for business performances, and there were quite a few companies that offered seven-figure fees. However, Cao Xuan's schedule was too tight and he couldn't move away.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he spends time with his parents and shopping at home, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, he pays New Year greetings, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, he has some work arrangements, and on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, he has to go back to Buddha City. If he wants to make money in business, he has to wait until he finishes filming.

Of course, if it is a commercial performance in Guangdong Province, you can also accept it if the performance time is not long.

Last year, nearly 30 million was spent on various investments, and Cao Xuan has yet to recoup his capital. He would be happy to have the opportunity to save more.

On the second day of the lunar new year, Cao Xuan went to several houses to pay New Year greetings as usual to people he was close to or whose faces he needed to visit. He really couldn't spare the time, so he had all the gifts ready, and Fanxing would arrange for people to deliver them at his door later.

After being busy until the afternoon, Cao Xuan came to the last house with gifts.

Ding dong~

The door opened, and a delicate woman in an apron appeared. It was Li Xuejian's wife Yu Haidan. When she saw Cao Xuan, Yu Haidan immediately smiled.

"Xiao Cao is here, come in quickly."

"Master Wife, happy new year."

"Hey, hey, Happy New Year, Happy New Year. This is not a red envelope. Li Gen, go and call your dad out."

Yu Haidan, who was already happy, was even more happy when he heard Cao Xuan calling his wife, and he quickly let Cao Xuan in.

This is not the first time that Cao Xuan has come to Li Xuejian's home. In addition to two New Year greetings, he has also visited twice at other times. Although he is not familiar with him, he is not unfamiliar to him.

After finding a place to put down the gifts he brought, Li Xuejian also came out of the study.

"Come on, why are you buying so many things?"

"It's not valuable, it's just some supplements to honor you and my wife, Master."

Li Xuejian said this, but actually he felt very happy in his heart. When he heard Cao Xuan shouting "Master and Master", the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.

Letting Yu Haidan cook, Li Xuejian took Cao Xuan to the study. On the wooden table in the middle was a set of freshly written calligraphy.

"Master, this is such a good word."

Cao Xuan was flattering, and Li Xuejian smiled: "This is not good, even for amateurs. You have to practice."

With that said, he also told Cao Xuan: "If you have the conditions, it is best to practice calligraphy. Not only cultivating your mind, it is also a skill that will be useful for filming costume dramas in the future."

The scene in "Water Margin" in which Song Jiang wrote an anti-poetry in Xunyang Tower is considered to be the representative scene of Li Xuejian's acting career.

Li Xuejian wrote this scene himself with a brush, but he actually didn't know calligraphy at the time, so he found a calligrapher friend to finish the scene, and then copied and practiced it over and over again.

After filming this scene, Li Xuejian remembered this and practiced calligraphy at home when he had nothing to do. Now that he has an apprentice, he also encourages him to practice.

After talking about calligraphy, Li Xuejian talked about business again. He was a kind man. Since Cao Xuan called him master, he taught it with all his heart.

"I watched your performance in "A Better Detective" and it was much better than before. However, although you have aura, your basic skills are still not solid enough."

"Yes, I feel it too. Now I am preparing to accumulate a little bit and solidify my basic skills."

Regardless of other aspects of Cao Xuan, one advantage is that he respects his teachers. He may not be a good student, but he is definitely a good student in front of the teacher.

Many people who have given advice to Cao Xuan have a good impression of him because he is polite and well-behaved.

Li Xuejian accepted Cao Xuan for this reason. After hearing Cao Xuan's introspection, he gave his own opinion.

"Your idea is right. Act more and practice bit by bit. Good actors are born from acting.

In addition, it is best not to limit yourself to a single role, but try various genres. If the film and television image is not convenient, you can try a drama. There is no need to worry about your image positioning in drama, and it can stimulate your acting skills in a more comprehensive way. "

Li Xuejian is a drama actor and is currently a working actor at the Central Experimental Theater, one of the predecessors of the National Theater. He has a deep understanding of drama performance and understands the benefits that drama can bring to Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan naturally took his master's words to heart, but now it was time for him to consolidate his position in the music industry and spread his influence in film and television.

So although Cao Xuan was very tempted, he really couldn't give up and act in a play for a while.

Li Xuejian also understood this truth. When Cao Xuan became famous, many people pointed at him for food. There were many things he couldn't control, and even Cao Xuan himself couldn't do anything he wanted.

Therefore, Li Xuejian did not force it, but also comforted Cao Xuan to work hard on film and television, which had the same tempering effect.

In addition, Li Xuejian also took out a thick notebook in which he recorded his essays during the performance and asked Cao Xuan to take it for reference.

He also patted his chest and said that if Cao Xuan didn't understand anything about filming, he should just call and ask.

In the past, the relationship between master and disciple was uncertain, and Cao Xuan was sometimes embarrassed to disturb him too much. Now, the master teaches his disciples as a matter of course, and he can ask for advice at will.

Cao Xuan took the thick notebook and was moved. At the same time, he also felt that his apprenticeship this time was truly worthwhile.

There are many benefits to stealing the skills of his master every day on the set, but relying on his own thinking, he may not be able to grasp many of the key points accurately.

Now that he has a top actor master to help guide him, it is enough for Cao Xuan to get twice the result with half the effort...
