Chapter 9: Survival in the Cracks

Back to the apartment.

Luo Xun lay on the bed.

As if all the strength in his body was drained.

He suspected that if it weren't for the final reversal, he would have been on the blacklist of Zhang Jizhong, the big boss, and would have difficulty moving forward in this circle. To use the line of Stephen Chow in "Flirting Scholar", life has ups and downs too fast, it's too exciting...

One step to hell, one step to heaven.

Now Luo Xun has got a role that was originally very slim as a newcomer, and got the opportunity to debut in a big production like "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", and it's Gusu Murongfu who has a good role. This is a very high starting point!

Turn over in bed.

Luo Xun took out his mobile phone and edited a long text message to send to senior Hu Jun, both to inform him that he successfully got the role and to express his inner gratitude-

He stopped typing again.

Although according to Zhang Jizhong, it was true that he was sure to get the role of Murong Fu, but as long as he hadn't officially signed the contract with the crew, there would inevitably be variables. Luo Xun didn't want to make a big mistake, so he could only suppress his excitement and delete the half-typed message.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Luo Xun opened the door and Kong Shuang came in directly. After just a few days of getting along, the two of them were now quite familiar with each other. This was probably related to the fact that the two were not much different in age and there was no generation gap between them.

"How is it?"

Kong Shuang sat on the chair and poured herself a glass of water. While blowing the hot air gently, she asked casually. She was in a very contradictory mood. She knew that Luo Xun's hope of success in the audition was very slim, but she couldn't help but feel expectations in her heart.

Luo Xun said: "It's almost done."

Kong Shuang nodded and comforted him softly: "It's okay. Anyway, don't be discouraged. The failure of this audition is not your responsibility. After all, Xiu Qing is Zhang Da Huzi... Wait, what did you just say?"

Kong Shuang suddenly reacted.

Luo Xun smiled and said, "I said it's almost done."

Kong Shuang stood up suddenly, staring at Luo Xun with eyes wide open, and her tone even trembled a little: "You mean you, successfully won the role of Murong Fu!?"

"Probably."

Luo Xun roughly recounted the matter, of course, he also omitted some things, such as he had the memory of his previous life as a foundation, and knew that Mr. Jin would probably revise "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" in the next few years and modify some plots--

It's okay to know this kind of thing yourself.

Kong Shuang was stunned when she heard it, but her mood gradually calmed down. When she spoke again, her voice was obviously happy: "Don't say anything, this is our first victory, let's go out for a big meal at noon today to celebrate!"

"I don't have money."

"Sister has money!"

Then what's the point of talking nonsense, let's go.

Lunch was at a restaurant that specializes in Sichuan cuisine. Kong Shuang ordered all the classic dishes, such as Maoxuewang and boiled fish. You know, this city is Yanjing, the capital of China. The quality of this Sichuan restaurant is not low, so the price is naturally not very attractive. Fortunately, Kong Shuang was in a good mood at the moment and did not feel that this meal was too extravagant.

"What kind of family?"

Luo Xun said, "I can afford to eat here."

Kong Shuang said happily, "You are a local hukou in Yanjing, and you are considered a well-off family. It is no problem to treat you to a big meal. I will have to rely on you to make money for me in the future. When you become famous, ten big meals will not be enough to make up for it."

Luo Xun smiled.

Indeed, Kong Shuang will really rely on herself to make money in the future. How much she can earn depends entirely on how much she can earn, because the salary of the agent is a commission from the various commissions of the artists.

"That's right."

While eating, Luo Xun did not forget the main business: "My current image is more like a weak scholar, I need to gain weight and muscle. Murong Fu's character is still a warrior after all."

"Leave it to me."

Kong Shuang was a novice before, and she was at a loss when facing many tasks. Now it is different. As long as Luo Xun gets the role of Murong Fu, Kong Shuang's status as an agent will also rise. The expansion of the social circle is only the most basic.

...

The next day.

Kong Shuang received a call from the crew of "Tianlong Babu". They had confirmed that Luo Xun would play Murong Fu. Putting down the phone, she no longer had any extra concerns and said to Luo Xun: "I will go to the company to find a fitness coach for you!"

"Okay."

Luo Xun nodded.

Immediately sent a message to Hu Jun, informing him of the good news that he got the role, but Hu Jun seemed to be busy and did not reply until Kong Shuang finished his work.

Just as Kong Shuang said.

After taking on the role of Murong Fu, Luo Xun was no longer an insignificant newcomer. She applied to the company for a fitness coach and got in touch the next day. Luo Xun also received a script outline from the crew of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" -

He flipped through it roughly.

The plot was basically faithful to the original.

Then he focused on his role as Murong Fu, how many episodes, where, who he acted with, what lines, etc., all of which needed to be remembered by Luo Xun. As for the pay, Tianguang sent people to negotiate with the crew. Luo Xun, a newcomer who had just debuted, was not qualified to ask about such things, which was just the time to sign when the contract was officially signed.

In comparison.

The script outline in his hand was more attractive.

In this outline, Luo Xun saw the names of the three main characters, Hu Jun, Gao Hu, and Lin Zhiying. They were the same as the candidates in his memory, and the supporting actors were not affected by the parallel time and space and remained the same.

For example, Liu Tao played Ah Zhu;

Liu Yifei played Wang Yuyan;

There were also Mu Wanqing played by Jiang Xin, Duan Yanqing played by Ji Chunhua, and Ah Zi played by Chen Hao, etc. The lineup was luxurious, especially Luo Xun, who knew roughly the future development, and saw the star-studded lineup!

"Now, I am one of them!"

This was the most exciting thing for Luo Xun. "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was his starting point, but it would never be his end. He was very confident in himself. He would definitely be on the red carpet show in a few years!

Luo Xun was not happy for too long.

Getting the role was just passing the first level!

He knew in his heart that he was different from others. Although he successfully got the role of Murong Fu, it was far from enough to perform this role well with the script in hand!

The reason was very simple.

The script in his hand was not changed at all. Murong Fu is still a stereotyped villain, and from the lines to the actions, he is clearly labeled as a shameless villain. This will be easy to play, but at the same time, the soul of the character will be lost...

Clenched his fists slightly.

Luo Xun doesn't like empty performances.

Luo Xun has made some preparations: "The filming may be more difficult than I thought. The big bearded man may not be able to accept my interpretation of the role. The previous audition has already explained some problems. He wants to choose Xiu Qing, and it is for this reason that there will be a tough battle in the future..."

Luo Xun is no longer blindly optimistic.

How to interpret a different Murong Fu without causing the big bearded man to be disgusted is the biggest difficulty Luo Xun will face. This time, there is no old Jin to help. He must interpret Murong Fu's blindness, but he must not lose the charm of the character itself!

He knows it very well!

In the crew of "Tianlong Babu", the big bearded man is like a lion in a territorial position, and the crew is his sacred and inviolable territory. He will definitely defend his territory and sovereignty.

This is a natural conflict!

Luo Xun wants to interpret Murong Fu in his mind without causing dissatisfaction to Zhang Jizhong. It is as difficult as walking on a tightrope. He has to learn to survive in the cracks!
