Chapter 110 We can only count on Lin Feng

Yang Zi signed with Huanrui some time ago. Actually, she didn't like this kind of agency that mainly cultivates traffic stars at the beginning.

Yang Zi actually wants to act in serious dramas. She wants to hone her skills in serious dramas for a few more years before entering the big movie industry.
As she said, "I graduated from the Film Academy, and now I want to make a good film to repay my alma mater."

But Yang Zi found that after she graduated, she had no chance to act in TV series, let alone movies.
Yang Zi didn't know. In the year after graduation, she was rejected several times in a row. She auditioned well every time, but in the end, someone else was chosen. Sometimes Yang Zi couldn't understand it.
Am I really too ugly to be an actor?

Yang Zi still remembers that she and her parents visited Song Dandan, the teacher with whom she had worked on "Home with Kids".

Originally, Yang Zi hoped that Song Dandan could say a few good words for him, so that his parents would support him more in his career as an actor.

But teacher Song Dandan said directly: "You should still focus on studying. Yang Zi is not very pretty. It will be difficult for her to be an actor in the future. You should stop acting and go back to study hard."

Yang Zi is a person who never gives up. The more others look down on her, the more she wants to show others. Then she was admitted to the Film Academy and then acted in many film and television dramas.

Especially last year, she starred in "The Battle of Changsha" which became a small hit. She thought this would be the starting point of her acting career, but she didn't expect it to be the end.
The success of "The Battle of Changsha" did not bring any substantial changes to Yang Zi. Even after graduating for a year, she has not received any acting offers.
What made Yang Zi even more sad was that something happened some time ago that she might never forget in her life.

At that time, she finally got a role. In order to prove herself, she prepared for the role for three months. She really put a lot of effort into it.

As a result, when the filming was about to start the next day, she was replaced, and it was 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. Yang Zi still remembers that scene vividly.

Before going to bed that night, Yang Zi said to his mother confidently: "Mom, I will definitely act well in this play, and then those who rejected me will regret it!"

Since childhood, whenever Yang Zi went out to act, her mother would follow her. Since she could take care of herself, she could film without any worries.

But just as Yang Zi finished saying this, she was slapped in the face. The assistant director of the crew knocked on her door.

After opening the door, the assistant director said directly, "I'm sorry, your role has been chosen by the daughter of the investor. Please leave."

"Director, we have a contract. You can't do this. You are breaching the contract. If we sue you, you will have to pay liquidated damages."

Before Yang Zi could react, her mother was already unwilling. She hurriedly argued for it, even using a threatening tone at the end.

As a result, the assistant director didn't take it seriously at all and said calmly: "The liquidated damages have already been prepared for you.
But the premise is that you have to move out tonight, because someone else will move into this room tomorrow."

Yang Zi completely collapsed. She was unwilling to give in and said, "Director, you know I spent so much time preparing for this play. You can't do this!

Besides, she is not an actress and has no acting experience. If you give her this role, can she play it? "

"Don't worry about this. It's not your business." The assistant director was not moved at all.

"Why? Do I know why?" Yang Zi asked unwillingly. He was obviously the most suitable one, so why didn't anyone choose him?

"Because you have no commercial value, it's that simple. Either you can invest yourself, or you can bring in investment. Now is the era of traffic."

...and Yang Zi has nothing, what else can he do!

I had to pack up and move out with my mother overnight. Because there were no taxis available in the middle of the night, we waited outside for an extra hour.

(This is a true story, I don’t know which drama it is, it’s not “Home with Kids 3”, it’s a drama about Yang Zi when she grows up)

Yang Zi will never forget this bone-chilling night. It also made him understand a truth:
As an actor, you need commercial value to get roles.
Even if one has excellent acting skills, without traffic and box office, one will still have no roles to play. This kind of situation is very common in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, when Huanrui invited him to sign a contract, Yang Zi readily agreed. In addition to having a role to play,

It was also because Jiang Lei thought of the promise he had made to himself at the time, "Huanrui is preparing to invest in the filming of the super IP "Zhu Xian". If there is a suitable important role, he will give priority to me."

Yang Zi knew about the super IP "Zhu Xian". She was a fan of the book and this was definitely an opportunity for her.

However, Yang Zi waited from March to May 2015, but there was no news about "Zhu Xian".
Moreover, during this period of time, not to mention other roles, even the most important male lead must not have been decided.
Some talked about Li Yifeng, some talked about Yang Yang, and some talked about people outside the company. Anyway, no one dared to mention Lin Feng because people don't care about these people now because he has already starred in a big movie.

Acting in a movie is Yang Zi's dream and the goal she set for herself. However, Lin Feng has already collaborated with a big director like Feng Xiaogang.

Who doesn't want to act in a movie? Movies require actors to have higher requirements, especially reaction speed and explosive power, because there is only one or two hours.
You need to concentrate on giving life and appeal to the character, unlike a TV series which has many episodes and if one episode is not performed well you can adjust it in the following episodes.

But for Yang Zi now, no matter whether it is a movie or a TV series, as long as there is a role to act, it is good enough. Who can ask for so much more!
In fact, when Yang Zi first signed the contract with Huanrui, he thought about calling Lin Feng, but the two were not very familiar with each other.
Although they were college classmates, they had only met a few times. Yang Zi even got Lin Feng's cell phone number from Zhang Yishan.
When I was in college, I was a celebrity in my grade. Almost everyone revolved around me. Even Zhang Yishan was not as good as me.

Lin Feng, apart from being handsome, had little presence in his grade and his acting skills were very poor. Yang Zi only knew that he often played basketball with Zhang Yishan, Li Xian and others.

But just two months after graduation, Lin Feng soared to fame, and his acting skills underwent a drastic change.

As for herself, she doesn't even have any movies to shoot. If she doesn't choose to sign with Huanrui, she really will have no movies to shoot.

But Yang Zi was always hesitant about making this call, because nothing about "Zhu Xian" could be finalized and the filming had been delayed.

There was no other way, Yang Zi could only continue to wait. She even asked Jiang Lei, "Mr. Jiang, you signed the contract with me.

Tell me the truth, when will the filming of "Zhu Xian" start? Do I have a chance?"

"You definitely have a chance, all of you have a chance, but you have to compete, but the core of the problem now is not these,
The question is whether the "Zhu Xian" project can go forward. Now the company is waiting for Lin Feng's reply!

As long as he agrees to act, the "Zhu Xian" project will start filming normally; if he does not agree to act, the project will be difficult to proceed.
Now I can't count on anyone but Lin Feng. He has the final say on everything, including this project itself."
