"That's great, Brother Chen. You acted so well.”The actor who played Xiao Wu smiled at Li Chen. Li Chen smiled modestly and waved his hand."It's still far from enough. It's just so-so.”
The actor flattered Li Chen again, hoping to get on Li Chen's good side. Although Li Chen still looked like he was chatting happily with the actor on the surface, he had already blacklisted him in his heart. He had never been friends with people who patted his beard and rode horses. This was also the reason why Li Chen had only been a minor character for ten years. He did not take the lead and was not filial to his leaders. This kind of personality was not liked by many people.
Just as Li Chen was exchanging pleasantries with the actor, Li Jun walked over and said,"The reporters from 'Easy' magazine are coming soon. Hurry up and ask Director Zhang for leave.”
Li Chen nodded, just in time to get rid of that bootlicker. He came in front of Zhang Jizhong and said,""Director Zhang."
Zhang Jizhong raised his head and smiled." Ah, it's Li Chen. This scene was shot well. You've improved a lot."”
Li Chen had indeed learned a lot from filming in the crew. His acting skills had also reached 504 acting points from the original B-list acting skills. In a single leap, he had reached 550 acting points. His improvement was not small. In the crew, with the guidance of seniors and the supervision of the director, his acting skills would naturally improve quickly. Li Chen said humbly,"It's all thanks to the director.”
Zhang Jizhong waved his hand." Alright, stop flattering me. What's the matter?"”
Li Chen scratched his head in embarrassment and said,""I have an interview in the afternoon and want to take a leave of absence. But don't worry, I'll make up for today's schedule when I come back.”
"Hai, it's not a big deal. Anyway, the filming of this movie is almost done and it's about to wrap up. It's fine to film for a few more days. Do your best. Remember to help promote our drama.”Zhang Jizhong said gratefully.
Zhang Jizhong could be said to have watched Li Chen rise up. The newbie who was almost ostracized back then had been snatched away. Now, he had signed with a company and had an exclusive interview with reporters. Sigh, time passed so quickly. He was getting old. Thinking of this, Zhang Jizhong couldn't help but touch his pale beard with a sigh.
……
Li Chen sat in a cafe. To be honest, Li Chen was a little speechless. Every time he had something to do, he would stay in the cafe. Couldn't he change the venue? Liu Yifei was like this, the Tang people were like this, Wang Jinghua was like this, and so was this beautiful reporter in front of him.
The reporter in front of him looked very young, about 23 or 24 years old. He looked like he had just graduated from university. He only had light makeup on his face, and his long hair fluttered in the wind. His willowy eyebrows matched his oval face, and he indeed had a unique style. He gave off a feeling of youth and invincibility.
The beautiful reporter stretched out a hand and said,"Hello, I'm Zhang Ruoyun, a reporter from 'Easy' magazine.”
Li Chen shook his hand politely and said,""Hello, I'm Li Chen."
EASY was the focus magazine for teenagers in the mainland. The content included entertainment, pop music from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the news of singers and movie stars. It was one of the few magazines in the country that had more coverage of Japanese and Korean celebrities. Each episode came with a celebrity poster. In addition to the aforementioned, there were also programs such as cm express, movie hot, cover story, easy exclusive, etc. The second half was mainly about talent shows, advertisements, horoscopes, online games, makeup tips, and cosmetic recommendations. "EASY" also had the latest rankings and viewership ratings.
It could be said that they were very famous in the entire industry. Many celebrities, upper-class people, and white-collar workers read their magazines.
Of course, some friends said that they were not upper-class people. Was it indecent not to read their magazines? The author definitely didn't mean that. He was just explaining to the audience. Of course, you can read it if you want. It's not that expensive anyway.
Zhang Ruoyun turned on her recording pen and started the interview."Mr. Li Chen, I heard that you're just a newcomer?”
"That's right, I'm a newcomer who just stepped into the entertainment industry.”
Zhang Ruoyun's question suddenly became sharp."Then may I ask how you got the role of the Condor Male Lead as a newcomer?”
Li Chen thought to himself, As expected. He had already guessed that the reporters would make an issue out of this and was already mentally prepared. He said,"I got this role during the audition. Later, I competed with Mr. Huang Xiaoming. Later, because Mr. Huang Xiaoming might not be in a good state, I got this role.”
Zhang Ruoyun did not expect a newcomer to answer all the questions. Competing with Huang Xiaoming showed that this was a fair competition. Later, he said that Huang Xiaoming was not in good condition and he got the role because he considered Huang Xiaoming's face.
Zhang Ruoyun was not willing to give up just like that. She quietly dug a hole and waited for Li Chen to jump in."Oh? Mr. Li, are you saying that you defeated Mr. Huang Xiaoming and got the role?”
Li Chen smiled slightly. He knew that she was digging a hole for him to jump into. An ordinary person might have said yes directly when they heard this, but they would be tricked if they said yes. Defeat Huang Xiaoming? Didn't that mean that he was stronger than Huang Xiaoming? What would Huang Xiaoming think if he heard that? What would Huang Xiaoming's fans think if they heard this? Wouldn't that be offending him? The number one taboo in the entertainment industry was not to offend anyone. Unless it was absolutely necessary, one should never offend anyone.
After all, having more friends meant more opportunities. In the entertainment industry, it was difficult to tell who was right and who was wrong. If you offended someone, it was equivalent to offending their fans and company. It was absolutely not a problem to cause some trouble for you. If you made a mistake, these people who were offended by you would definitely hit you when you were down.
"Mr. Huang Xiaoming is one of my favorite actors. He's also my idol. I remember that I used to especially like to watch Mr. Huang Xiaoming's 'Emperor of the Han Dynasty.' I watched it several times.”
Zhang Ruoyun was a little dejected. This was her first interview. She didn't expect that the two traps she had set up would be dodged by the other party. She couldn't get any explosive news.
But it didn't matter. She still had a trump card. Thinking of this, Zhang Ruoyun became confident and said,"On the day of the Condor God press conference, you said that a friend helped you. Without him, you couldn't participate in the audition. What's going on?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Chen was stunned. He did not expect this newbie reporter to actually dig up such a thing. It was really unexpected.
Li Chen obviously hadn't thought of what to say. He stuttered,"Ahem, that, ahem, that friend, um…she's a very good friend. She helped me with the interview, um, so I'm very grateful to her.”
At first, he was still stuttering, but later on, he became fluent. It was obvious that he had made up his answer.
Zhang Ruoyun began to feel discouraged again. She didn't expect her 'trump card' to be cracked just like that. Of course, Zhang Ruoyun was still a newbie. If a very experienced reporter came, he would be able to get Li Chen's words out in a few sentences. After all, Li Chen was also a newbie.
The two newbies were competing with each other. It was obvious that Li Chen was the better one. The next interview was based on Li Chen's idea. Li Chen kept advertising his " Condor God ", but he would also expose the news at the right time.
"Yeah, there was one time when I was filming. I was filming for an entire day, and I didn't have time to eat. In the end, I couldn't take it anymore, so I ate the food that was placed on the table as a prop. Director Zhang even gave me a good scolding.”
"Hehe, I didn't expect Mr. Li Chen to have such a side to him.”
