Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 98 I want to be a popular drama star, I want to play the top star of the drama
"Okay, you're right, I support you. Have you taken a fancy to any scripts recently?" Xu Yien asked again.

"There are quite a few, but I haven't chosen them yet. Let's wait until this group finishes filming. There's no rush. Just like you now, if you really don't shoot any movies in the first half of the year, why don't you participate in variety shows to increase your exposure?" After Zhang Wanyi said this, he asked about Xu Yien's situation.

Xu Yien teased, "You have to be invited to a variety show. If no one invites you, then it won't work. If a variety show invites me, I will definitely participate, right? If you have the resources, please recommend one to me."

"I'm still pushing you? You're much more famous than me. Even if I have resources, they're only for serious dramas. If you want to switch to serious dramas in the future, just tell me and I'll introduce you to a director.

With your acting skills and popularity, I think it's no problem for you to play the male lead. I'm just working on serious dramas to gain experience. At least I have a role that's quite popular, and I'm still quite popular in this circle."

After Zhang Wanyi's self-analysis, he suddenly became curious: "Why can Teacher Bai Yu take on so many serious dramas, but you can't? He also has "The Silent Truth" at Kiwi, and the other male lead is an Oscar winner."

Xu Yien said, "You ask me, who should I ask? Maybe after market research, the investors labeled me as an idol male god, while Lao Bai's words are more in line with serious dramas."

That’s a very accurate statement.

After Xiangliu became popular, he was deeply impressed. The mark of ancient idol male god has been deeply engraved in Xu Yien's current acting career. He is afraid that the role will be fixed if he becomes popular, but he is not in a hurry. Young people can look at the long term, but they must first grasp the present and make money from the role.

Xu Yien's endorsements are also a bonus for both the roles of Shen Wei and Xiang Liu.

For example, Kenshiro from the original time and space, less than a month after the broadcast of the drama "Long Xiang Si", he officially announced eight endorsements in September. I wonder how many more he can announce in October. It is really exaggerated. He must have made a lot of money.

"That just means you're handsome, and everyone wants you to play in ancient costume dramas. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Some actors in serious dramas are trying their best to shoot ancient costume dramas to gain traffic and attention, but you traffic stars want to squeeze into the serious drama or film circles." Zhang Wanyi sighed.

He is the type of person who wants to do everything he can to gain traffic by filming ancient costume dramas.

Fortunately, it was successful, but not much, only a little bit. The benefits of Chang Xiangsi were basically eaten up by Xu Yien alone.

Xu Yien also lamented, "Have you heard Eason Chan's songs? What you can't get is always a source of unrest. Everyone wants to have it both ways, but it's more difficult to have it both ways. But you have to try, right?"

"Well, you're right."

The two of them were chatting like this, and the shop assistant's hands were sore from making milk tea. Although making hundreds of cups at a time was not surprising, it was not uncommon to film here frequently, so it was still quite tiring.

An hour passed after everything was completed. Zhang Wanyi asked them to help drive the two people back home. The milk tea shop said it was not a problem.

They took a ride back to the crew, and the clerk asked them to take a photo with him. After the photo, the clerk said something politely and left.

Zhang Wanyi and his assistant said, "Just tell them later that if they want milk tea, they can just come and get it."

"understood."

They found two small stools and sat there. After a while, Song Zuer came over with her assistant. She was a typical sex-oriented person. When she saw a man, she would start to think whether he would be suitable as her partner. Originally, she had her eyes on Bai Yu, but Bai Yu had been avoiding danger. When she saw Xu Yien, her eyes lit up.

But Xu Yien noticed that this was something that he really had to keep his distance from. People were having a great time abroad, but they would be involved in tax evasion scandals in the future. Although the game behind it had not yet ended, there was a high probability that they would be banned.

While the assistant was getting milk tea, Song Zuer walked over and said with a smile, "Wanyi, why don't you introduce me?"

"Oh, Zul, this is Yien, my good brother." He then looked at Xu Yien and said, "This is Zul, who plays my fourth sister Qiao Simei."

"Hello Zul, I grew up watching your plays."

"what?"

"It depends on how you catch it."

"Oh, you really grew up watching my dramas." Song Zuer said with a cute smile, "I've watched all your recent dramas. I really like Shen Wei, Shen Mianxiang Liu, and Fang Fengbei. You are really suitable for this kind of role. You are very handsome!"

"Thank you for your compliment. I will keep working hard." Xu Yien said politely.

Zhang Wanyi smiled and said, "Aren't you two going to exchange WeChat accounts?"

Song Zuer took the opportunity to smile and said, "Okay, add me on WeChat."

Now everyone calls her "Little Cecilia Cheung";
There are quite a few female fans and casual fans.

But when the house really collapses, you will still be scolded.

"Okay." After agreeing, Xu Yien gave Zhang Wanyi a speechless look.

After adding WeChat, Song Zuer said goodbye first: "I still have a movie to shoot, so I'll leave first. See you for dinner tonight."

Zhang Wanyi waved her hand: "Okay." The cast of this drama is quite strong, with Zhang Ruoyun's wife, legal pioneer Snake, Zhu Zhu and others, as well as nominations for various awards. The level is still there. If Xu Yien is invited to play the role, he will definitely come to play it, but Xu Yien is not as vicissitudes of life as Bai Yu, and cannot play the role of Qiao Yicheng.

Noon Sunshine knows that Xu Yien is now famous, so it is impossible for him to play Qiao Erqiang. It is basically assumed that he can only play the male lead after he becomes famous. Not to mention that Xu Yien has no schedule. Let alone other things, even if Xu Yien is invited to play Qiao Erqiang, it is impossible for him to do it. That's the reason. It is assumed that he can only play the male lead after he becomes famous.

Besides, Bai Yu's status is not as good as Xu Yien's. It doesn't make sense to ask Bai Yu to play the male lead and Xu Yien to play the male second.

For Xu Yien, playing supporting roles is only for movies, not TV series. He either needs to have a very good character like the soul male protagonist, or be the real male protagonist. Supporting roles are basically a pass.

Serious dramas that cannot win awards or improve Xu Yien's reputation in the industry are worthless because there is almost no bonus. If he performs well in popular dramas, passers-by will like him and he will have more fans. In that way, he can make more money through more commercial endorsements, which is more realistic.

Xu Yien looked at Zhang Wanyi with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Zhang Wanyi saw him like this and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"What's your impression of her?"

"It's okay. She's a pretty girl. Nothing's wrong. We have a good relationship, especially with Bai Yu. It feels like they are brother and sister."

"Like brother and sister? I heard from Lao Bai that Song Zuer is somewhat fond of him, and she has something to tell you. Next time I don't add WeChat, you don't have to take the initiative to mention this matter. It's inexplicable, do you understand?" Xu Yien said.

"Okay." Zhang Wanyi said first, and then he looked like he was enjoying himself: "So what's the matter?"

"She heard from people in the circle that she was suspected of tax evasion."

"Ah? She's not that kind of person, is she?"

"I don't know, but she has a lot of gossips." Xu Yien couldn't tell him everything, so he took a sip of milk tea.

Zhang Wanyi spoke seriously, but then whispered, "It doesn't matter. As long as people get along with each other, that's all that matters. I can't control the rest. There will be legal and moral sanctions. Just like you're cheating on me, I still treat you as a brother."

"Poof——" The milk tea in Xu Yien's mouth sprayed out.

I gave him a thumbs up, and thought that he was right, so I agreed: "You make sense."

"Of course. It's their business. We just need to do our best. Even if we can't be close friends on the set, we should still be friends, right? Just like Deng Wei, we don't have a good relationship, but we still have to be polite when we meet. This is called social etiquette."

Zhang Wanyi is like an elder and knows a lot about these things.

No wonder so many people say he is calm.

Xu Yien said with a smile: "You know so much?"

"Of course, this is what I learned from acting over the years. I know what to do." Zhang Wanyi smiled.

He continued, "Besides, Noon is very optimistic about her. Although I don't know much about these gossips, I believe what you said should be fine. The main thing is, don't tell anyone else what you told me. It's not good to offend her for no reason. She will handle her own affairs."

Xu Yien said, "Of course I told you because I treat you as a brother, so why did you ask me to add her on WeChat?"

Zhang Wanyi laughed and scolded, "Am I stupid? I really can't see Bai Yu's side because the brothers and sisters have a good relationship in the drama, but when she saw you, her eyes seemed to light up as if she saw prey. I can still see it.

If you really don't want to have anything to do with her, why don't you just keep your distance? There's nothing wrong with adding her on WeChat. I don't think you can really handle her. That's how the entertainment industry works. Even if you know what she has going on, you still have to play along with her, right? "

"Okay, stop lecturing me. No wonder you act like an old antique when you're acting in a serious drama. You really have a lot on your mind."

"If I don't think too much, the drama industry won't want me. Acting skills and other emotional intelligence are essential. You lack some of them. Some are silly and sincere. If I were you, I wouldn't tell these things to myself."

Zhang Wanyi added, "Since you've told me everything, I can't possibly disappoint you, because you treat me like a brother."

"Okay." Xu Yien took another sip of milk tea. This was already his second cup.

After returning to Yanjing, I have to do two more hours of aerobic exercise.

But I'm still a little surprised that Zhang Wanyi defines herself as silly and sincere.

He thought he was a bit thoughtful and told Zhang Wanyi only because he felt he was reliable and had a good relationship with her. He didn't expect that he would educate him like this.

Alas, you act like an old-fashioned person at such a young age. I always feel like something is missing that doesn’t match your age, such as youthfulness.
