Chapter 357 Mr. Xu’s acting career is so narrow that it’s enviable
It turns out.
Director Li Mingbiao of "The Beginning" is not the only person with genius ideas.
On the front foot, Xu Xiyu has just "finished a house" with someone in "The Beginning".
On the back foot, he was dragged into "The Richest Man in Xihong City", where he also made a guest appearance as a passerby, and this passerby appeared in the scene.
In the corridor of the KTV where Wang Duoyu sang for the last time, he played the role of a guest singing with a girl on his left and right, and he also flashed by in front of the camera.
That's right, Xu Xiyu was not able to guest star as the "Wang Leehom" in "The Richest Man in Xihong City". This role was played by Liu Weichi.
Who is Weichi Lau? He is about equal to Andy Lau.
Inviting him to come over would naturally be more convincing.
Moreover, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "Infernal Affairs" can also be linked. Therefore, Wang Pengpeng, who plays Wang Duoyu, also has a cameo in "Infernal Affairs".
Of course, there are very few guest scenes. Like Xu Xiyu, he is a "passer-by" character.
After that, the directors of Hua Qing's projects seemed to have a small group of people who had private discussions. Not only did they hope that Xu Xiyu would make a cameo, but all the guest roles would be of the same type.
In "New Paradise·Wangxian", he plays the role of a "romantic tourist" who goes to the paradise's "Dengxian Pavilion" to experience flower arranging and jade decoration.
In "Nirvana in Fire", Xu Xiyu is still a "romantic young man", but this time the location is changed to "Willow Heart" (a brothel in "Nirvana in Fire").
Even in "Infernal Affairs", it is the same, passing by the protagonist with a beautiful girl in his arms.
After this round of guest appearances, Shan Xinbao almost laughed like crazy.
"Boss, your playing field is too narrow."
"I'm just making soy sauce. There's no point in talking about whether I'm good at acting or not." Xu Xiyu said, and the "foreign language enthusiast" Chen Qingquan could not help but appear in his mind.
This guy's acting career is narrow, so narrow that it's enviable.
"Hey, you said that if the audience finished watching these works and found that the characters you played were all of the same type, what would be their reaction?"
"Whatever your reaction is now will be the audience's reaction." Xu Xiyu shrugged.
"Haha goose goose goose goose goose..." Shan Xinbao heard this and burst into laughter.
Listening to her goose call, Xu Xiyu shook his head helplessly.
To be honest, after he finished his cameo roles, only Shan Xinbao laughed in the audience. There will definitely be those who say that he is "taking advantage of the opportunity" and "using the opportunity of making a movie to develop improper relationships" and so on.
This cannot be avoided.
The reason why he was willing to make a cameo even though he knew it would produce this effect was very simple. First, it was to increase the topicality of the movie.
Secondly, the people who make guest appearances with her are all newbies from the company.
There will definitely be people taking stock at that time, and the process of taking stock is equivalent to exposing these newcomers.
Sometimes, for artists, being on the bus of certain hot topics can bring them much higher exposure than starring in a little-known TV series.
Because of this, all newcomers to the company, regardless of gender, as long as they have the right image, are sent to Parallel Chongcai to be used as game face models.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu almost burst into tears.
I, Xu, am indeed a good boss. I am willing to sacrifice my own reputation for the sake of my employees’ career, and I have considered all aspects.
This is so touching.
No, you have to let Shan Xinbao cry for him, otherwise it won't be enough to add to the "tragic" atmosphere.
He thought so in his heart, but Shan Xinbao's cry really came from next to him: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [ 59'..."
"???" Xu Xiyu turned his head in confusion.
"I laughed so loudly that a bug flew into my mouth... bah bah bah bah..." Shan Xinbao cried with sadness and started to rinse his mouth with water.
"Ha? Ha, ho ho ho ho ho ho..." This time, it was Xu Xiyu's turn to laugh.
This smile lasted until mid-May.
At this time, "The Beginning" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City", including "Infernal Affairs" and "New Paradise·Wangxian" have been completed and have officially entered post-production.
Currently, the only ones that are still being filmed are "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Untouchables" which will be launched in Hong Kong soon. Such rapid progress naturally caused another discussion among colleagues.
However, some people had other ideas.
Beijing.
In a certain villa.
Hu Ningwei's cousin Li Yiguang was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, listening to the report of the person next to him.
Ever since the last time his mother Du Zhiping was in the car with him, she said how good Xu Xiyu and Hu Ningtian were and how she was not as good as them.
He wasn't in a good mood anymore, and he wasn't even interested in looking for a woman anymore.
Originally, he planned to use some means to conquer Xu Xiyu and make him crawl at his feet, so as to prove to Du Zhiping that he was just not serious before, but now Xu Xiyu knelt down as soon as he made a move.
But during the Chinese New Year, Xu Xiyu and Hu Ningwei visited Changlong in public, which made him completely give up this idea.
At first, he and his mother tried every means to instigate the relationship between Hu Ningwei and Hu Ningtian through Xu Xiyu.
Looking back, I realized that I didn’t need to add any unnecessary extravagance.
My cousin, after the Chinese New Year, directly asked her old man to replace her with a group of personal assistants. None of the drivers, security guards, and personal assistants that Hu Ningtian gave her before were retained.
Every time he thought of this, Li Yiguang would dig his toes on the ground.
Because, the current situation more and more reflects how stupid he was at that time.
If I hadn't done that in the first place, I wouldn't have fallen out with Xu Xiyu.
Then, at this time, I should become the "idea king" who advises Xu Xiyu and Hu Ningwei, and there is too much room for maneuver.
"Mr. Li, this is the current situation. Look, is there anything else you need to know?" The voice of the report interrupted Li Yiguang's random thoughts.
He came back to his senses, digested the information just now, and then said: "According to you, the "Beginning" that Xu Xiyu is filming now is not a science fiction theme at all?"
"Based on the information available so far, it is considered soft science fiction. However, there are still disputes about the boundaries and definition of science fiction, both in China and in the entire world."
"In other words, the sci-fi label Xu Xiyu announced when launching the movie is likely to be regarded as false propaganda by the audience?" Li Yiguang grasped the key point.
Have a dispute?
Doesn’t having a dispute mean there is room for maneuver?
When the reporter heard this, he nodded and said: "It seems like this so far. The long-term inherent impression will make people think that interstellar, high-tech and other elements are considered science fiction.
In other words, in many people’s minds, future scenarios are considered science fiction. "The Beginning" actually tells the story of a time loop, but the content of the script we obtained shows that its focus is not on explaining the reasons for the loop.
Rather, it tells stories about different characters. In other words, it explores humanities and society. In terms of quality alone, I personally think it is quite high, in line with Xu Xiyu’s consistent creative level.
However, due to the published theme labels of "The Beginning" and "New Paradise·Wangxian", there has been a certain amount of discussion on the Internet.
Coupled with his previous reputation, many viewers mistakenly believed that the content of "The Beginning" and "New Paradise·Wangxian" was filmed.
Similar to "The Coming of Light" or other foreign science fiction works in the traditional sense. Therefore, I think there is a high probability that there will be a gap, which will affect the data. ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Yiguang suddenly sat up from his chair.
OK OK.
It's good if there is a gap.
If you can make Xu Xiyu overturn, even if it doesn't benefit you at all, that would be a refreshing thing.
What's more, it may not be without benefits.
Thinking of this, Li Yiguang turned his eyes and said: "By the way, does "New Paradise·Wangxian" count as science fiction?"
"Forget it." The reporter nodded without any hesitation.
Seeing him so sure, Li Yiguang was a little disappointed.
But the next second, the reporter spoke again: "It doesn't count. In other words, in the eyes of many viewers, "New Paradise·Wangxian" may not necessarily be considered a science fiction work."
"Why is this?" Li Yiguang asked puzzled.
