Chapter 15
Bai Weiming had to keep smiling: "As long as you make this movie and become the male lead, all your efforts will be worth it."
"Oh." Rong Junxian had a half-understanding, "Then do you think I can become a member? Haven't you heard that Mei Min has any concerns about me?"
"Yes, most of the people in his team also tend to use Li Chen instead of you."
"Use Li Chen?" Rong Junxian frowned, "Can he compare with me?" This is not because Rong Junxian is too arrogant. Although that Li Chen looks good, his acting skills are relatively mediocre and have no excellence. Generally speaking, acting is OK, but he cannot compare with Rong Junxian.
"Of course it's not possible." Bai Weiming said with a smile, "How can he compare with you?"
Rong Junxian shook his head, but said, "Then why do they tend to use Li Chen?"
"There are two reasons. One is because Li Chen was chosen by the investor."
"It's the investor again!" Rong Junxian was really out of temper. "Since the investor has appointed him, I'll just grab it!"
"You can't say that. Look, the investor has to rely on Chen Libing's expression when entering "The Legend of Zeng Fan". Even Chen Libing can make a decision on choosing the protagonist. Does a great director like Mei Min have no such power?" Bai Weiming said slowly, "The investor and Mei Min reached a consensus that Li Chen must use "The Legend of the Sky Burning Red Cliff", but he did not say that Li Chen must play Zhou Lang. You can rest assured about this."
Rong Junxian calmed down a little, and said, "What is the other reason?"
Bai Weiming said: "The other reason is that you now have two labels - Zeng Fan, homosexual. In other words, everyone's impression of you is "Zeng Fan" - the heroic male lead of a bloody drama, which is not suitable for playing the male lead of a blockbuster. The other is that they do not want homosexuals to play Zhou Yu, which does not conform to the character setting."
Rong Junxian was so angry that he vomited blood: "I'm going to curse people! What's wrong with the bloody drama? I'm so vivid about the plot of a brain-dead, isn't it a skill? Also, what's wrong with homosexuality? Can't homosexuality play Zhou Yu? It doesn't fit the character setting? Then what else can you shoot "Journey to the West" and "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"? How can ordinary people be Bodhisattvas, Tathagata Buddhas? How can living people play unjust souls and fairies? That's so unsuitable to the character setting!"
Seeing that Rong Junxian was very angry, Bai Weiming only advised: "Everyone knows what's going on. It's just discriminating against you."
If Yu Zhiwu said that, he would have advised Rong Junxian in every way and said something good, but this would add fuel to the fire, which would only make Rong Junxian curse more and more, and he could not stop talking. However, seeing that Bai Weiming was very rude in his speech, he said directly, "They are indeed discriminating against you." This made Rong Junxian speechless.
Rong Junxian closed his mouth, but was indignant, but he didn't know what to respond.
Seeing that Rong Junxian stopped scolding, Bai Weiming said again: "So at first I thought you shouldn't continue shooting at 8 o'clock, and I also thought you shouldn't come out."
"I have done everything, what's the use now?" Rong Junxian even more unhappy.
"It's really useless." Bai Weiming said, "I can only think of other ways to change my mind. After all, Director Mei Min is the one who makes the decision."
When Rong Junxian heard this, his eyes flashed with stars: "Mr. Bai, you have a way, right?"
Bai Weiming looked at Rong Junxian for a while, and Yingying smiled and said, "Are you a little too dependent on me?"
Rong Junxian was stunned and hesitated: "I don't rely too much, right?"
"No." Bai Weiming nodded, "Anyway, you can rest assured."
Rong Junxian was silent for a moment, but saw Bai Weiming walking away and making a phone call. Rong Junxian didn't listen carefully, but only heard Bai Weiming say "sending Buddha".
Rong Junxian didn’t know what gods, gods, Buddhas and Buddhas were, but he remembered that Mei Min believed in numerology very much, so Mei Min was very fond of choosing popular stars as the protagonists, saying that he had good fortune and could "take advantage of the situation". When Rong Junxian went to audition, he had to give birth date and horoscopes to criticize.
Mei Min went to Master Huiming's house to listen to his opinions on that day. However, Master Huiming was holding a well-carved and well-designed jade laughing Buddha in his hand, and was playing with it. Mei Min couldn't help but look at it for a few more times, and smiled and said, "This jade Buddha is very exquisite, and it's worth it!"
"The prices are all false." Master Huiming smiled, "The most rare thing is to meet your eyes."
"Yes, yes, money is something outside of your body." Mei Min nodded and said yes, very polite to the master, so he asked again, "Then have you seen the horoscopes of these actors?"
"Oh, I have calculated it one by one." Master Huiming held the jade smile, "I have measured that Rong Junxian has become popular recently, and it is a lucky star shining. The god of blessing has come. There is a sign of the golden cicada being shedding the shell and the Nine-Turning Pills! It is said that 'The treasure mirror is newly polished and regained the light, and it shines in all directions. It has a foundation for becoming famous for a long time. It is polished and enhanced. It can be used to fulfill each other with the director."
"Really?" Mei Min was overjoyed when she heard this and said, "I think he is good too."
In this way, Mei Min decided that Rong Junxian would play Zhou Yu.
It was also because of this good news that Bai Weiming told Rong Junxian that he was the one who liked him and gave Master Huiming an Emerald Smiling Buddha, which affected Mei Min's choice. Rong Junxian was surprised when he heard this: "Can you even bribe Master Dedao?"
Bai Weiming could only say: "I have also said it..."
"I understand, 99% of the problems in the world can be solved by using money!" Rong Junxian was familiar with Bai Weiming's "apologies", but he said, "But we have calculated that your commission for this order is only 100,000 yuan. How much did you spend after such a puncture? Didn't you pay for it?"
Bai Weiming coughed twice, but he didn't know how to answer.
However, Yu Zhiwu called to help the two of them and said that Rong Junxian would be invited to have dinner with the director. Bai Weiming smiled and said, "Don't take cephalosporins on the table again!"
"This is hard to say." Rong Junxian looked at Bai Weiming and smiled, "If you don't worry, just accompany me!"
Bai Weiming said, "Just just now, it was just a joke. Director Mei Min is respectful and will not make things difficult for you for a glass of wine. I have nothing to worry about. You can ask Yu Zhiwu to accompany you."
"Why is it him?" Rong Junxian didn't understand.
Bai Weiming smiled and said, "You have neglected him so much recently, he is jealous."
Rong Junxian was reminded by Bai Weiming, and then he remembered that he had indeed had less contact with Yu Zhiwu recently. Even so, Rong Junxian didn't feel anything: "Why is he 'jealous'? We are just ordinary colleagues."
Bai Weiming said, "That's right, we are just ordinary colleagues. Why do you want to go to dinner and call me to do?"
Rong Junxian was a little awkward when Bai Weiming said this. After a while, he said, "But you know me. I don't know anything. You will be two: both acting and offending people. You finally put on this good project for me. I am also afraid that I can go alone and can't speak and offend people, so I will ruin the project for you."
Bai Weiming said, "You say it when you like to say it, and you smile when you like to laugh, and you don't have to be afraid of offending others."
