Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 135 Nanpai Sanshu
……

……

"By the way, Xiao Gu, what have you been busy with lately?"

Chen Sicheng picked up another apple and started peeling it, casually asking a question.

"Running around for gigs, getting endorsements, and promoting TV dramas."

Gu Qing continued drinking her soup. "I have to take a plane to Hengdian this afternoon to audition for 'The Lost Tomb'."

"Why are you only doing TV dramas? With your status, don't you want to consider developing a career in the film industry?"

Chen Sicheng asked with a smile, "Those two top stars who are your peers are getting so many leading roles in movies that they're practically rolling in them."

"Brother Sicheng, our company is very small. I don't want to go to a big company so that I can have an easier life."

Gu Qing smiled helplessly, "If I don't eat or sleep with people, where will I find good resources? The only movie I ever acted in was a cameo role as the third male lead in a low-budget martial arts drama, recommended by my teacher."

"That's right... The film industry is indeed exclusive. Newcomers who don't join big companies have a hard time getting decent roles."

Chen Sicheng was deeply moved.

It's not just actors; even directors who don't come from prestigious backgrounds struggle to secure funding.

Lu Yang's family background is impressive enough; he can find actors who are award-winning actors and top actresses, but the investment he can attract is only 30 million.

Compared to those big directors who invest hundreds of millions, it's simply not in the same league.

Those young directors who can make a name for themselves by starting from scratch.

They all turned their careers around with low-budget dramas.

Including himself!
"Xiao Gu, when will the movie 'Brotherhood of Blades' be released?"

Chen Sicheng laughed and said, "I'll be there to support you then."

Wang Baoqiang remained silent on the bed; he understood his old friend's thoughts perfectly.

"It should be soon. Director Lu Yang sent me a message saying that the release date will be set in the next week or two."

Gu Qing replied, "However, I'll only attend one premiere at most, and I won't go to any more after that."

As a top-tier celebrity making a cameo appearance as the third male lead, he certainly didn't need to travel with the crew. Attending the premiere was already a great honor.

"Okay, let me know when the premiere date is set."

Chen Sicheng said with a smile.

I sat for another half hour.
Gu Qing drank half of a large box of simmered bone broth, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and then said goodbye to the two.

"Sicheng, do you want Xiao Gu to act in your movie?"

After Gu Qing left, Wang Baoqiang spoke.

"Of course I want to."

Chen Sicheng bluntly stated, "Those two newcomers, Wu and Lu, have absolutely no acting skills. They rely entirely on their looks, yet their box office earnings surpass those of many directors who have made films throughout their entire careers!"

"Who wouldn't be drooling with envy after seeing this?"

"If Xiao Gu's 'Brotherhood of Blades' really becomes a box office hit, even if it only makes 200 million, then it's not a question of whether I want him to act or not, but whether he thinks highly of me."

Besides being an actor, Chen Sicheng is also a young director.

In 2012, he won the MSN New Director Award and LeTV's Most Anticipated Director of the Year for his self-written, self-directed and self-acted TV series "Beijing Love Story".

In 2014, he won the Best Directorial Debut Award at the 21st Beijing College Student Film Festival for his self-written, self-directed and self-acted film of the same name, "Beijing Love Story".

right now,

He wants to produce a comedy film in the style of detective stories.

Unfortunately, the company did not agree.

There has never been a major hit in the detective genre.

They only hope that Chen Sicheng can continue to film the sequel to "Beijing Love Story 2".

They're just living off their past achievements.

But Chen Sicheng still has some ambitions; he wants to film something new.

“Then you should say it now, instead of waiting until Xiao Gu’s ‘Brotherhood of Blades’ is released before thinking about letting him act in a movie.”

Wang Baoqiang shook his head and said, "Once Xiao Gu's movie becomes a box office hit, just like you said, why would he want to act in your movie?"

"If the film doesn't have good box office appeal, would you... still be willing to let Xiao Gu participate?"

Apart from him,

My friend is too shrewd and calculating; he has his own unique business plan.

"Baobao, I really didn't think that much about it this time."

Chen Sicheng raised his hand to express his hurt feelings, saying, "I just wanted to see how well Xiao Gu acted in the movie."

"Don't worry, I'm telling you right now. After I watch it on the first day of its release, no matter how good or bad the box office is, I'll let Xiao Gu play the male lead. Is that okay?" "At that time, you'll have to help me persuade Xiao Gu. My movie really needs a young and handsome actor who can carry the audience."

"That's what you said."

Wang Baoqiang believed it for the time being.

He was very happy to be able to act in the same movie as Gu Qing.

……

the other side,
Gu Qing took a plane to Hengdian.

With nothing to do, I flipped through the character sketches I had made while writing the novel.

This is a good habit that his teacher, Mr. Zhang, taught him.

From interpersonal relationships to personality traits to growth and changes.

When it comes to acting, the character's personality traits are the most important.

Wu Xie grew up with a strong fascination with tomb raiding under his grandfather's influence. He is sunny, kind, generous, and loyal to his friends, but he is also somewhat weak and naive.

Throughout his growth, he experienced many adventures and challenges, gradually transforming from an innocent novice into a capable 'Evil Emperor'.

As for the script,

Gu Qing understood why the show was criticized as a bad movie after watching it once.

When I received the script
The words "Treasure Hunting Notes" were written in large characters on it.

Gu Qing was completely stunned.
If it weren't for the fact that the protagonist's name was Wu Xie, he would have thought he had picked up the wrong script.

The extent of the alteration is truly outrageous, especially since, in addition to the two male leads, there is also a post-85 actress named Tangtang playing the female lead 'A Ning'.

To match her status, A Ning's screen time was significantly increased.

This resulted in the script looking disjointed and strange overall, and it also included two additional characters that did not exist in the original work.

"Sigh, Wu Xie is the chosen one?"

Gu Qingwei sighed.

Hopefully, those fans of the original book,

When I saw him holding up the artifacts and shouting "hand them over," I was lucky if I could hold back from criticizing him.

After getting off the plane,

After getting into the car driven by the film crew, Gu Qing headed to the audition location.

Upon arrival at the destination,
"Hello, Teacher Gu. Hello, Teacher Gu."

As soon as Gu Qing got out of the car, she was warmly welcomed by the crew.

From the distribution company, planners, and producers,
Down to: director, screenwriter, producer.

They surrounded him completely.

"Hello."

While dealing with the situation, Gu Qing noticed someone and smiled, "Sister Xu, it's been a long time."

"Gu Qing, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Hua Qiangu has really exploded in popularity."

The producer of Peach, her face flushed, excitedly grasped Gu Qing's hand, "Come here, let me introduce you. This is the director: Zheng Baorui and Luo Yongchang. Director Luo is in charge of filming Wu Xie's storyline."

"Director Zheng, Director Luo."

"Teacher Gu, you're too kind."

Gu Qing shook hands in greeting, and the two directors were flattered.

"This is producer Jia Shikai, who is also the agent of Yang Yang, who plays Zhang Qiling."

Sister Xu then pointed to a middle-aged man with a respectable appearance.

"Hello, Gu Dingliu!"

Jia Shikai grasped Gu Qing's hands, his eyes brimming with undisguised surprise and excitement.

Why is he so enthusiastic about Yang Yang?
It means seeing that the other person has the potential to become a top star.

And now, the person he holds in his own hands

That is Yang Yang's ultimate goal in Jia Shikai's dream.
One of the biggest stars in the entertainment industry right now!

"My Yangyang is your fan. Please be kind to him during the audition, Teacher Gu."

Jia Shikai said all sorts of nice things, giving them a heads-up.

Gu Qing nodded and withdrew his hand, then saw a face outside the crowd that made his teeth itch. He said, "Third Uncle, I haven't been able to sleep well for the past few nights because of this book you've been reading."
