Rebirth of Rong Shao

Chapter 8 “Shallow Wind”

Rong Fei could smell the smell of Su Zhen in this small space, the refreshing mint scent of men’s shampoo and aftershave, pure and without excess impurities.

With a ding sound, the elevator stopped, Weizi walked out, and Rong Fei followed closely behind.

“Do you really want to support Su Zhen that much?” Wei Zixing’s voice was a bit of a joke.

“Of course not!” Rong Fei replied categorically.

Wei Zixing turned his arms around and stared at him and said, “If not, why were you staring at Su Zhen in a daze when you were outside the elevator just now? Completely infatuated?”

“Where!”

Wei Zixing shrugged his shoulders, did not take Rong Fei’s answer to heart, and said to himself: “It is absolutely impossible for you to support Su Zhen. Give up. He is suitable for blooming alone without restraint.”

Rong Fei didn’t say anything further, and continued to explain it would only get darker and darker.

Today they are going to meet with Li Chenghe, the director of the film “Shallow Wind”. Director Li has a very good reputation in the industry. There are not many films, and he can have at most one play a year, but each play has a high artistic attainment. Three of the six films won awards at the Venice Film Festival, and one was also awarded at the Berlin Film Festival. It is difficult for him to take over his film without being famous.

And “Shallow Wind” is a small-cost production movie. The script tells the boy next door who has a crush on her two-year-old elder sister. From his perspective, he interprets the girl’s first love, her family changes and her growth. This is like a documentary, there is no ups and downs in the plot, but with Director Li’s consistent style, there are bound to be many warm and touching shining moments.

“Mr. Wei, I have no opinion on you, and your ability to work is obvious to all.” Producer Lin Jinyin said with a smile, “Rong Shao’s appearance conditions are nothing to say, just his image in the eyes of the public. I’m afraid it’s not suitable for this role. I understand Mr. Wei’s intention to fight for this role for Rong Shao. You want to change his image for him, but I’m sorry, “Shallow Wind” is not anyone’s stepping stone.”

Lin Jinyin is the youngest producer in the industry. He has been in the industry for less than five years, but has cooperated with many top directors with efficient execution, unique vision, and superb financing and formation capabilities. Now he is only thirty-five years old. He feels like a business elite in his gestures. His smile is restrained and full of charm. If this person enters the show business circle, he is absolutely magnanimous, but he has chosen to become a producer. And this producer, even a big crocodile like Rong Jingyan respected him three points.

It is precisely because of this that if an ordinary filmmaker absolutely has to squeeze his feet against his rigorous son, a small-cost film actor will be caught. But Lin Jinyin has the ability to refuse. He is very similar to Rong Jinyan, that is, there is no compromise in his work, unless he feels it is right, even if you are the emperor, he will not be soft.

Wei Zixing is also an expert in negotiation, “As far as I know, “Shallow Wind” is a low-cost movie, and it is not a commercial route. However, even if it is a small cost, the expenses and publicity expenses have to be recovered. Isn’t it? I’ve seen the script of “Shallow Wind”, and I have to say that this movie has no selling point in the plot. Many movies are like this, they are good but not popular. Cost does not allow you to invite those first-line stars to play the role of Chen Qianfeng . Of course Mr. Lin can consider recruiting newcomers with a healthy image. But where is their market for these newcomers?”

Lin Jinyin smiled, “So where is the market for young and old? As far as I know, his healthy image has nothing to do with him. Drunk driving is his specialty. Innocence is not to be mentioned, our flourishing age is Huatian. They are already the harem of Young Master Rong. Not to mention the poor father who often comes to splash dog blood. I don’t want this crew to make headlines.”

Rong Fei’s expression didn’t change much, but he was about to vomit blood in his heart. Lin Jinyin’s telling the truth is about to lay down eighteen layers of hell.

“This is the collision of the two images.” Wei Zixing patted Rong Fei’s back, “Who doesn’t want to see what the innocent boy played by the dude is like? There is little tolerance, are you afraid that there will be no topic? First red, Mr. Lin, you can even save on promotional expenses!”

Wei Zixing’s remarks really make people unable to tell whether they are praise or irony. No matter how thick Rong Fei’s face is, he flushes at this time.

Director Li, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, “Rong Fei, I want to hear your own opinion.”

This was the first time someone called him “Rong Fei.” Rong Fei looked at Director Li, his eyes were quiet, and what he wanted to hear was Rong Fei’s own answer.

“Tell me what you think of this role, do you really want to play the role of Chen Qianfeng? I have heard about your style of behavior, and I believe you will not force yourself to do what you don’t want to do.”

Director Li’s words made Rong Fei relax.

“I want to play this role.” Rong Fei said seriously, “Chen Qianfeng is an ordinary person, without wealth and appearance, but he is the person I want to be.”

“The person you want to be?” Director Li’s voice paused.

“A dedicated person. There is no need to have any lofty ideals and high-sounding reasons. He just obeys his own heart and looks at the girl he likes. There are too many temptations in reality, and he can go with a pure mood like him. People who look at the same thing will be happier than those who are struggling to break the blood. And we all want to be happy.” Rong Fei took a deep breath. He didn’t know what Director Li would be like for this. reaction.

But Director Li was silent.

Lin Jinyin laughed: “Did Wei Zixing teach you this passage? It is very hard to memorize it, right?”

Rong Fei knew that he was Rong Shao now, and in Rong Shao’s world, there were only two kinds of people. One is a person who flatters or has a plan to Rong Fei, and the other is a person who has the ability and ability so that he can show his disgust or sarcasm towards Rong Fei without concealment. And Lin Jinyin is precisely the latter.

“The script was given to me by Wei Zixing, but that paragraph was my own thought.” Rong Fei said calmly.

Director Li slowly asked: “When Song Niannian asked Chen Qianfeng, “What do you think of my English name?” How did Chen Qianfeng answer?”

“Daisy means a daisy, just like you, in the sun, swaying in the wind.” Rong Fei’s lips are slightly smiling, but it seems to melt everything, his voice is full of nothing. Moved piety.

There are no extra moves and exaggerated expressions, everything about Rong Fei looks natural and unexpected.

Dao Li stared at Rong Fei, but still did not respond.

Looking at Director Li’s expression, Lin Jinyin stretched out his hand to Wei Zixing, “Let’s talk about it today. We have several other candidates who want to consider it a bit, and we will notify you as soon as there is a result.”

I couldn’t tell whether it was polite or polite, although in Rong Fei’s opinion, the latter was more likely.

“Okay, no problem.” Wei Zixing got up quickly and shook hands with the other party.

The two left Lin Jinyin’s office. Rong Fei sighed and said apologetically: “I’m sorry to let you stand on me.”

“Why do you say that?” Wei Zixing turned his head back amused. “Your performance just now was beyond my expectation. Judging from Director Li’s reaction, the probability of this character is 70% of yours.”

“Ah? But didn’t Director Li say nothing? Didn’t you see his frowning brow?”

“Oh, when did Rong Shao know how to observe his words?” Wei Zixing’s smile widened.

In the office, Lin Jinyin held his head and looked at Director Li and said, “Did you choose him?”

“Yeah.” Director Li flipped through the information about Rong Fei sent by Wei Zixing.

“Although we have other options,” Lin Jinyin clicked on his temple leisurely, “but when Director Li watched Rong Fei, who was wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, walked in, you were already interested in him. right?”

“I’m also curious about what the real Rong Fei is like under the negative media reports.” Director Li pushed the information aside.

Rong Fei and Wei Zixing walked into the elevator. After going down two floors, the elevator stopped, and Rong Fei was stunned again when the door opened. Although I was ready to meet many celebrities today, I met Su Zhen, the king of show business when I came. At this moment, the man in front of me who wore a casual jacket and a light gray plaid scarf casually wrapped around his neck was exactly the same. An Kaiwen.

An Kaiwen walked in, his height felt oppressive, Rong Fei subconsciously stepped back, his back pressed against the wall.

An Kaiwen smiled on his lips, teasing him with a bit of indifference, “It’s really rare that Rong Shao dresses up so low-key today. Is it to cater to Director Li’s taste in movies?”

Rong Fei didn’t speak, the most important thing was that he didn’t know what to say, and Wei Zixing beside him still had that formulaic smile. An Kaiwen didn’t say anything, Rong Fei could only look at his back, upright and sure, it was this back that wore lifeless clothing with different demeanor.

An Kaiwen’s floor arrived. The moment he took his long legs, he pressed his hand against the elevator door and turned his face to look at Rong Fei, “You have been so boring recently. I look forward to the next bet with you. .”

bet? What bet?

Rong Fei was still suspicious, An Kaiwen had already walked far, quite a bit of an aura of going away.

As the elevator continued to descend, Wei Zixing was a little gloat, “I said Rong Shao, do you feel that you are struggling in the entertainment industry? The producer has to worry about your’notorious’ past, and the king Su Zhen regards you as air. Even An Kaiwen, the vane of the fashion industry, ridiculed you, and your father, who has been wiping your butt, will no longer tolerate you. What are you going to do?”

Rong Fei nodded and smiled, then stretched out again and patted Wei Zixing on the back: “I still have you, a close comrade in arms.”

“Count you acquaintance.”

At this time, Su Zhen came to the rigorous office, and the two sat face to face.

“Tea or coffee?” Rong Jingshen put down his work, showing a rare smile.
