Chapter 506 Solution
After the interview, Zhao Xilin was still a little confused.
He never expected that he would be able to play the male lead in a big production so soon. If he hadn't pinched his thigh a few times, he would have even thought he was dreaming.
"Did it have such a big impact on you?" After the actors left, Luo Quan saw Zhao Xilin still standing there stupidly, and started teasing him with a smile.
"It's really big! Director, I don't even know how to thank you." Zhao Xilin came back to his senses, his eyes full of excitement and gratitude.
"Don't thank me in a hurry." Luo Quan waved his hand and said, "This movie mainly tells the story of a woman. Even if the male character is the leading actor, he won't have too many roles. I hope he will become famous with this role. Too realistic."
"I understand, but this guy is also a male protagonist. This is the first time in my life that I have played such an important role!" After Zhao Xilin was thrown cold water on him, his high mood did not diminish.
Luo Quan nodded: "It's a good idea to have such an idea. If you study hard for the role, you will still gain a lot of popularity after the movie is released. With your image, your future will not be bad."
When the future was mentioned, Zhao Xilin's eyes suddenly darkened, he looked at Luo Quan and said hesitantly: "Director, there is actually something I haven't had time to tell you yet. This matter may bring some trouble to the crew."
"What's the matter?" Luo Quan frowned, "You don't have any criminal records, do you?"
When making a movie, the biggest fear is that the protagonist has any bad behavior or criminal record. These have little power when no one breaks the news.
Once the movie is finished filming and promoted, the media will dig into the past of a bunch of leading actors, hoping to dig out big news to gain traffic.
If negative news about the starring role is dug out at this time, it will at least affect the movie's popularity, or at worst, it will be directly delayed by the GD Bureau or even re-shooted.
So when Luo Quan heard what Zhao Xilin said, he immediately paid attention to it, fearing that he had made some inappropriate remarks online before or had a record of violations such as drunk driving.
"How can that be possible? I am a good and law-abiding citizen." Zhao Xilin told Director Luo that he had misunderstood and quickly explained.
Then, he made a fuss about his relationship with the NT director.
"These sentences are true. I am not the only actor who has been pestered by that director. If you don't believe it, I can call other witnesses!" Zhao Xilin said with a frank look.
In fact, this kind of thing is a bit embarrassing for a boy, and it takes a lot of courage to tell it to a girl.
However, he also knew that the news that he had obtained the protagonist would spread out sooner or later. Rather than letting the director find Luo Quan, it would be better for him to confess first.
As for Luo Quan, I am basically convinced.
She didn't have any mind-reading skills, so she didn't know whether Zhao Xilin was telling the truth or a lie.
But since the system suggests that he can be signed, it means that there is no problem with Zhao Xilin's character. Luo Quan had already obtained evidence from Fan Ying.
If the director really called her to discuss it privately, it meant that he did have a problem. If he really wanted to deal with an actor with poor conduct, he could just say hello to the entire crew.
If you don't dare to make a big splash, you must be afraid of attracting too much attention. This means that bullying these unscrupulous people has little ability to build public opinion.
But even without her, the director's good days are probably only a few days away. Zhao Xilin has more and more fans at Station B. When the time comes, he will break the news directly, and it will definitely cause a fuss.
This director had better be kind and not make this call, otherwise Luo Quan would not mind accelerating the process of his social death.
"Don't worry, if this director really finds me, I will deal with it. If it is true as you said, I will definitely return your innocence!" Luo Quan said with a serious expression, "By the way, what is his name? He is very capable. So much so that so many crew members are unwilling to offend him?"
"His name is Niu Jie."
Luo Quan recalled it for a while, and then took Baidu on his mobile phone.
He is indeed a quite famous director. He has made many masterpieces with good reputation and box office, and he has a good relationship with some big guys in the industry. This fits Zhao Xilin's description of him - he has a wide network of contacts.
However, no matter how wide the network is, he can't get her here.
After giving Zhao Xilin some reassurance, Luo Quan finished today's actor interview, packed up and returned to the hotel.
She originally thought that Niu Jie's revenge would come after the movie's starring list was revealed, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly.
When she was browsing station B at night, her phone suddenly rang from an unknown number.
She raised her eyebrows, thinking that Niu Jie was very well-informed. He had been sending people to keep an eye on Zhao Xilin's movements, right?
"Hello, who's there?" Luo Quan's tone was neither cold nor indifferent, the same tone she used for all unknown numbers.
"Luo Quan Luo, are you a big star? I'm Niu Jie. I wonder if you recognize me." A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone, which sounded quite kind.
"Oh, Director Niu, why did you suddenly call me?" Luo Quan began to pretend to be confused.
"I heard that you have a new show in Hengdian?"
Luo Quan smiled: "Director Niu is very well-informed. I haven't officially held a press conference yet, so you already know."
"Hey, aren't you some acquaintances in the GD Bureau? I found out about this by chance while chatting."
Niu Jie's words sounded like there was something in them, as if he was reminding Luo Quan that there was someone above him, or giving her, a person who was not very involved in domestic circles, some knowledge about his abilities.
"So what's the matter with you calling me?" Luo Quan doesn't plan to talk nonsense with this person anymore. Every minute and every second of her life is precious. Even if it is wasted, it is not wasted on this kind of person. .
"An actor named Zhao Xilin joined your crew, right?"
Luo Quan admitted directly: "There is such a person, and I even asked him to play the male lead."
Niu Jie immediately became anxious when he heard this: "Oh, this guy is not a good guy. He often harassed actresses when he was on my crew, and he also had conflicts with me as a director. I gave him up in anger. It turned out that he had a grudge against me and spread rumors about me everywhere to slander me. I called you to remind you of this."
Luo Quan chuckled: "Really, but what I heard was a different version."
"That kid lied to you. I'm not that kind of person at all!" Niu Jie's acting skills are as good as those of the male protagonists in his movies, making it impossible to tell the truth from fiction.
But what is false can never be true.
Luo Quan said with a smile: "Director Niu, I haven't said what Zhao Xilin made up yet, why did you start explaining it so confidently?"
"Well...the rumors about this kid are nothing more than those few sentences. He has already committed many crimes. You don't need to guess."
From here on, Niu Jie's tone became obviously softer, but he still spoke harshly.
Luo Quan sneered and said: "Okay Director Niu, I'm not interested in knowing about you and Zhao Xilin, and it doesn't matter if I say who is right or wrong.
If it is true as you said, he is spreading rumors about you everywhere, and you are a famous director, just send him a lawyer's letter, or if that doesn't work, just go to court and see him. Did all the directors of Xilin's crew call? "
Niu Jie's tone was much harsher: "Luo Quan, I'm also thinking about your movie. After all, things have gotten serious, and it's your crew and investors who will suffer. It's really easy for a movie to explode in this public opinion environment. All it takes is a little bad press.”
Luo Quan asked seriously: "Are you threatening me, Director Niu?"
Niu Jie's tone was very calm: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just helping you get rid of the black sheep in the crew. You have always been well-known in the industry. It would be a pity to ruin your reputation because of such a villain."
"You don't have to worry about it anymore. It's my business to pay compensation for the movie, and I have nothing to do with you. If you really can't bear it, then I support you to take up the weapon of law and sue this bastard who tried to seduce you. , after the verdict comes down, I will apologize to you across the entire network and platform.
Think about it, for a star of my level to apologize to you, that’s a very honorable thing. Even the kings and superstars don’t get this kind of treatment. Isn’t this a double blessing for you? Luo Quan finally started to show off her ability as a great onmyoji, and sneered at Niu Jie, understanding his fear of making things worse.
For such a successful and famous director, he has already enjoyed most of his money and power. Naturally, what he cherishes the most is his own reputation.
If he hadn't done these things, of course he wouldn't have to be afraid of Youyou Zhongkou.
But if he had really done these dirty things, he would be more afraid than anyone else of taking things a step further.
After all, the more famous a person is, the more afraid they are of losing their reputation.
Luo Quan is also afraid, but she can't find any other black spots except the "big mouth of the abyss", which is why she can behave so openly in front of people like Niu Jie.
"Don't worry, I will do it!" After saying such harsh words, Sister Niu hung up the phone.
You can imagine how bad his face looked on the other end of the phone at this time.
"Wait and let's see how long you can still be awesome!" Luo Quan curled his lips disdainfully, as if he had already seen his miserable ending.
It would be inconvenient to make a movie during this period and provoke him.
But after the movie is released, a group of protagonists will definitely get a lot of attention because of the movie. At that time, she only needs to push the boat forward and get the people involved to come out and break the news.
When the time comes, Niu Jie will definitely not be able to suppress the popularity even if he spends all his net worth to search for it.
If this Niu Jie is a smart man, he should find Zhao Xilin now, kneel down and admit his mistake in front of him, and be as sincere as possible. Only in this way can he win his forgiveness, otherwise the only way is to lose his reputation. .
Of course, she was not Zhao Xilin, so she didn't know how he would make a decision.
If you put yourself in her shoes, if she were in a similar situation and had been suppressed for more than a year for refusing the unspoken rules, she would not be able to swallow this bad breath no matter what.
After the matter was settled, Luo Quan looked at Station B and didn't know what to look at for a while. Suddenly he remembered that Zhao Xilin had said that he was also an up owner with hundreds of thousands of fans at Station B, so Luo Quan searched curiously.
Zhao Xilin's nickname at Station B is his name. Now he has 160,000 fans. Each video is prefixed with the words "Hengdiao Diary", and now it has more than 300 issues.
The latest one was posted half an hour ago. The subtitle of the video is: You will never guess that I met Luo Quan today!
Luo Quan smiled when he saw this. This title was quite good.
At Station B, the word "Luo Quan" is the perfect password for wealth. Many up owners will add it when they title their videos.
For example, the owner of the food area made a fish-flavored shredded pork dish, which is "Luo Quan's favorite home-cooked dish."
In the beauty area, the up owner puts on makeup, which is "Luoquan's same makeup".
The clothing area and the digital area are basically the same. As for the content, I can’t say it doesn’t matter at all, but it’s basically just a gimmick. There aren’t many that really have a big connection.
But Zhao Xilin is obviously not a clickbait.
Clicking on the video, the official content hasn’t even started yet, but the barrage is already exciting:
"Oh my god, my dear, Zhao Qun has joined the Luo Quan crew?!"
"Luo Quan has indeed returned to China recently to prepare for filming a new movie, and he even posted news about Station B the day before yesterday."
"I will tell you after watching this that because filming was not allowed at the interview site, Lao Zhao did not take pictures of Luo Quan."
"Wow, what a shame."
“Is this considered double-chef ecstasy?”
"No, it doesn't matter. Everyone at Station B likes Luo Quan. If the number is the same, it's still the same as a single chef."
"Mathematics is pretty good."
"I think this one is a philosophical question, because you like it, so you don't like it."
"I'm dizzy..."
………………
No matter which up owner's video he is in, the sand sculpture brother can always bring endless joy. I just don't know if these friends watching the video are really her fans as the barrage said.
After the screen went black for a few seconds, Zhao Xilin appeared in the video, as if he was making various preparations before departure, from brushing his teeth and washing his face to fixing his hair and changing clothes. At this time, he didn't know what he was going to do next. Which crew will you meet?
The next five minutes were spent going out to Dongcheng for an interview, getting in the car, and entering the hotel. When he entered the conference room, he turned off his phone. When the camera turned back on, the scene had returned to the rental house.
"Fans, you will never imagine who I met in this interview!" Zhao Xilin sat at the table in the rental house and smiled excitedly at the camera, "The director of the crew I am interviewing today is Luo Quan! She is really real She is much more beautiful than she looks on TV. If her appearance on TV is 10 points, then in real life she is 20 points, or even higher!"
Just like all the boys who have met Luo Quan, their first impression is "Oh my God, this girl is so beautiful!".
Zhao Xilin is no exception.
