The grandfather of the entertainment industry arrives

Chapter 118 The Exchange
Power, money, status, and fame are often things that ordinary people in the world pursue all their lives. Their inner desires are hard to fill, and their greed is endless, so there is a life exchange.

The exchange is barter, as long as you are willing to pay your life, money, power, status, and fame can all be exchanged.

Ruan Xiuping, an [-]th-line actor, looks good, but lacks recognition. He graduated from the Capital Film Academy. He has acting skills, but he can't be called top-notch. It's a high-minded sneer, but later he was taught a lesson by reality, and after nearly seven years of struggling, he is still a fringe figure in the entertainment circle.

At the age of nearly thirty, he still can only be said to be a little better than extras.

Ruan Xiuping is not reconciled, this road is his own choice, how can he give up halfway, let alone spent seven years of youth.

Ruan Xiuping returned to the rented house after the latest crew had finished two or three episodes of small scenes.

There was a slender figure standing in the kitchen of the house. This was Ruan Xiuping's girlfriend, Mo Xiaozhu, who was also an actress in the industry. She was a little better than him, and she was considered a third-tier figure. She was recognizable in front of the audience. There are also 200 million fans under the blog.

The two were together when they were in college, and they have been together for nearly eight years. Recently, Mo Xiaozhu accepted an audition for a big-budget movie "Xiantu", and successfully selected the female number three in it. "After the broadcast, her reputation will inevitably rise to a higher level.

On the contrary, Ruan Xiuping couldn't even take on a decent role, and kept playing soy sauce in various crews.

Ruan Xiuping was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, and the thoughts in his mind were complicated. At this moment, his cell phone rang suddenly.

Ruan Xiuping picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar text message. He originally wanted to delete it directly, but for some unknown reason, he opened it and read it.

There is a sentence in it that matches this address. After reading it, Ruan Xiuping sneered, but at this moment, the scene he encountered today came to mind again.

The male leading actor in the crew was his classmate back then, not as good-looking as him, and his acting skills were not as good as him, but because he was slick, he was willing to put down his figure and climb up. Compared with him now, it was already a world of difference. Sometimes it was nasty, today Ruan Xiuping was ridiculed even more.

Ruan Xiuping held the phone tightly, the words and the address in the text message were vividly reflected in his mind, he shouted at Mo Xiaozhu in the kitchen: "Xiaozhu, I still If you have something to do, go out first and be back soon."

Mo Xiaozhu came out of the kitchen, just in time to see Ruan Xiuping who was changing shoes at the door, and asked, "It's so late, where are you going?"

"I'll go back to the set, something was left there." Ruan Xiuping subconsciously concealed the text message and made an excuse.

After Ruan Xiuping followed the address on the text message to find the place, he found that this place was a deserted place, and there was not even a ghost in sight.

Ruan Xiuping laughed at himself, thinking that he really wanted to be famous and crazy, and he actually took a prank text message as real.

Just when he was about to turn around and walk back, a voice came out of nowhere: "The visitor is a guest, since Mr. Ruan has already arrived, why should he leave?"

Ruan Xiuping turned his head after hearing this voice, and saw that a big house suddenly appeared in this deserted place.

This big house looks like an ancient building from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with carved beams and painted buildings, it is magnificent.

It's just that on the top of the house, there is a plaque. No one's residence is written on the plaque, but the five characters of life exchange are written on the plaque.

But at this time, the loop that Ruan Xiuping came from was no longer there. There was a grove behind him, and there was a bird's cry from time to time, a bit like a crow. In short, it gave people a feeling of shuddering and chills on the back.

Seeing these super-scientific things happen, Ruan Xiuping feels a little regretful in his heart, but this regret is mixed with a kind of excitement, the kind of excitement that belongs to the dream come true.

Ruan Xiuping pushed open the gate of this mansion, and inside the antique gate was bright as day, a slender and beautiful woman in a cheongsam greeted him.

This woman is like an old lady who came out of a big mansion in the Republic of China, with a proper smile, dignified and gentle: "Mr. Ruan, please, my master has been waiting for a long time."

Ruan Xiuping didn't follow her, but instead asked, "Did you send the text message on my phone? Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Mr. Ruan's questions, when you see the master, the master will answer you, and I promise to make Mr. Ruan's trip worthwhile." The woman replied with a polite smile on her face, and made a gesture of invitation, but the black pair of faint Yes, there is a meaning in the eyes without the slightest human emotion, but it cannot be refuted.

Ruan Xiuping only felt a chill rising from his tailbone to the top of his head, and he followed the woman into a room involuntarily on his feet.

The woman pushed open the door of the room respectfully, "Mr. Ruan, please come inside."

Ruan Xiuping walked in uncontrollably as before. When he went in, he could see famous calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, everywhere. On a table made of nanmu, there were two cups of tea, which were still slightly steaming.

Amidst the heat, Ruan Xiuping looked at the person sitting opposite him in amazement.

This is a man in a gray Chinese tunic suit. He looks about [-] years old. It looks like a jade stone that has been polished for a long time.

"Mr. Ruan, please sit down. My surname is Si Dan and my name is Bo." Si Bo pushed one of the cups of hot tea to his side.

Ruan Xiuping sat across from Si Bo under his elegant and gentle gaze, holding the cup of tea on the table, and the warm feeling from his palm told him that everything in front of him was real.

At this time, Ruan Xiuping didn't want to ask what happened to the text message?These people have no idea what's going on. They only have one feeling, that is, they want to know whether the things in the text messages are true.

"Mr. Si, can you really make my dreams come true and my wishes come true?" Ruan Xiuping opened his mouth and asked the question hidden in his heart.

"That's right." Si Bo smiled gracefully, with a forceful nobility in his gestures, "I can indeed help you, but what are you going to give in exchange for the fame and status you want?"

Ruan Xiuping opened his eyes slightly, "Can I change anything?"

"No." Si Bo shook his head lightly, "In the life exchange, what is exchanged can only be your lifespan. I think Mr. Ruan is also a sign of longevity. Presumably, a lifespan of several years or ten years is not enough for you. No hindrance."

Ruan Xiuping suppressed his beating heart, and asked again: "Then if I want to become famous and get an audition for "Fairy Journey", how many years of life do I need to exchange?"

"ten years."

"Okay, I'll change."

The moment he agreed, a contract appeared on the table. Si Bo pushed the contract in front of him, and said with a gentle smile: "Mr. The contract will come into effect, and Mr. Nguyen can get everything you want."

Ruan Xiuping looked at the contract in front of him. It was printed on ordinary A4 paper, and the square script on it was exactly what they said before. Apart from that, there was nothing extra , leaving only one place for signature directly below the contract.

Looking at this contract and imagining the kind of life he dreamed of, Ruan Xiuping hesitated for a while. After hesitating, he gritted his teeth and signed his name at the bottom of the contract. When he bit his mouth, the thumb of his right hand popped out. A drop of bright red blood, at the moment when the blood fingerprints were printed on the contract, Ruan Xiuping felt a slight tingling sensation on his hand that was almost easy to ignore.

"The deal is concluded, congratulations to Mr. Ruan for getting his wish, the dream has come true."

Ruan Xiuping walked out of the mansion with a dazed expression on his face. The moment he walked out, the mansion disappeared instantly, and this place was still in the wilderness without even a ghost.

And not long after he left, another person came.

After resting for more than half a month, Su Luo came to the door with a new script.

"Liuyin, these are some of the better scripts I have selected, take a look."

Yue Liuyin took the scripts in her hand, and after reading them, she chose two: "I choose these two, "The Immortal Journey" and "The Harem."

Su Luo clapped her palms and smiled: "It seems that the two of us have thought of being together. I am most optimistic about these two scripts. They are both big productions, and the characters in them are very brilliant, and the shooting time just happened to be staggered."

"That's true. Whether it's the No. [-] Mo Shu in "The Immortal Journey" or the No. [-] Concubine Wan in "The Harem", and the two are just the opposite. She is a cold-hearted concubine who seeks power and deep thoughts, and they are all challenging characters, and they are different from the four characters I have filmed before." Yue Liuyin's filming is not very expensive, so far, The four films that have been filmed are all big productions by famous directors, and the characters are outstanding, and they need certain acting skills to be able to control them. Only such dramas can meet her standards.

"Since you've already made up your mind, let's prepare for "Fairy Journey" and wait for it. It will be launched in half a month, but "Harem" is scheduled for half a year later."

Yue Liuyin naturally agreed.

Half a month passed by in a hurry. After seeing the plane, Yue Liuyin rushed directly to the filming location of "The Immortal Journey".

This is a beautiful place with beautiful scenery and beautiful mountains and clear waters, which is most suitable for filming this kind of fairy drama.

Coincidentally, there are acquaintances in the crew of "Xiantu", this time the male number one in "Xiantu", who plays the demon king Limei is Feng Xiange.

In addition, the female number two is also Fang Yuan, who she has worked with in Xiongxiong before.

Among other things, the director of "Fairy Journey" really fits the temperament of an actor in terms of selection.

Feng Xiange is a beautiful monster that most women can't compare to, but she is the living incarnation of Demon Venerable Limei.

Fang Yuan is enchanting and charming from her appearance, which also fits her status as the No. [-] monster queen.

And Yueliuyin was originally a well-known beauty in the circle, with an outstanding temperament and stunning beauty, and the Mo Shu played by her was also called the number one beauty in the six worlds, her coldness was unparalleled.

Speaking of which, Yueliuyin can be regarded as a professional accountant of this No. [-] beauty. In the few films she shot in total, when China Qingcheng is the No. in this way.If other actresses were to play these roles at once, I am afraid that I would have been complained about by those netizens on the Internet many times. hold can live.

Let's not talk about gossip for the time being, the director of the crew is surnamed Liu, director Liu is a quick-tempered person, as soon as everyone arrives, he immediately mobilizes and takes the makeup photos first.

Yue Liuyin followed the makeup team into a special dressing room. Just before entering, she happened to glance to the side, which was also another dressing room. Yue Liuyin's eyes fixed on the young man who walked in. body.

To be precise, it was the invisible seal of contract on the man's forehead.

Yue Liuyin thought about it carefully, this one seemed to be the second male lead in "Xiantu", named Ruan Xiuping.

"Sister Yue is looking at that Ruan Xiuping?" The makeup artist asked when she saw her staring thoughtfully.

"Yes, I feel like I haven't seen him in the circle before." Yue Liuyin replied with a smile, closed her eyes, and let the makeup artist paint on her face.

The makeup artist is a bit of a gossip, and in addition to being in this circle, the news is relatively well-informed, he said: "Ruan Xiuping has always been a fringe figure in the circle, an [-]th-line male star, it is normal for Sister Yue not to have seen him. However, he suddenly became popular because of shooting a commercial some time ago. It happened that something bad happened to the second male lead chosen by the crew. After watching his commercial, Director Liu felt that his image and the plot The male number two was more suitable, so we decided on him. Speaking of which, Ruan Xiuping is really a lucky character."

In the eyes of outsiders, Ruan Xiuping is a lucky person, but outsiders don't know what is the price for this luck.

Yue Liuyin chuckled and said, "It's indeed quite lucky."

I just don't know if he can bear his luck.
