Chapter 154 Unexpected Invitation
(It’s too bad to subscribe, please support me!)
"Jiang Xiaoxi, Li Yinmei accidentally sprained her foot last night, so I can't cooperate with the filming this morning. I may have to decline until the afternoon. Please forgive me."
"Oh, it's okay. I'll shoot again in the afternoon. By the way, is Miss Li okay?"
Seeing Song Joong-ki in front of him, uh, no, Kim Joong-ki politely informed him of the changes in the shooting notice. Jiang Xiao nodded, and naturally understood what was going on.
He even asked a question knowingly, which was used as a cover-up.
It has to be said that spraining one's ankle is really a universal excuse. Unexpectedly, Li Yinmei also used this trick.
It's obvious that I went to bed too late and didn't get enough sleep, so I couldn't get up in the morning.
Don't ask him why he knew the reason so well. After all, he was there and saw with his own eyes that the girl "sprained" her foot.
Anyway, impulse can easily turn into a devil, and there is water in the bathtub.
In addition, I have to say that Li Yinmei is really a super fierce girl, so fierce that she even made Jiang Xiao angry.
He didn't care that the other person was a foreigner, so he lectured him on the spot. It wasn't until the girl kept calling him "oppa" to admit his mistake that he slowly calmed down.
After all, we are international friends, so we still need to show our magnanimity.
"You should be fine if you rest for half a day. Anyway, Li Yinmei basically doesn't have any moving parts in the commercial, so I believe it won't affect her too much."
Upon hearing Jiang Xiao's inquiry, Kim Jong-ki continued to explain.
"That's it, that's good. Does Director Jin have anything else to say?"
He didn't want to waste more time with Jin Zhongji, so Jiang Xiao started to see the guests off.
It seems that the fat man was polite to him. After all, he was the spokesperson of Pepsi. No matter what the other party thought about the Chinese people, Pepsi obviously did not allow the other party to mess around.
"There's nothing else to do, okay, then I won't disturb Jiang Xiaoxi!"
Kim Jong-ki was not stupid. He knew that Jiang Xiao was seeing off a guest, so he quickly left wisely.
…………
The next morning, Jiang Xiao finally returned to the capital from Tianjing after filming the Pepsi commercial.
He could have returned to Beijing last night, but in the end he wanted to say goodbye to Li Yinmei, so he stayed one more night.
After all, the two of them usually live in two countries, and it is difficult for them to meet each other, so they must say goodbye properly.
As a result, he made the girl miss her flight and had to change her booking to another flight that afternoon.
Putting this aside, not long after Jiang Xiao returned to the capital, Ji Xiang came to him excitedly and told him the good news that he was being asked to audition for a movie.
Of course, this is not the main reason for the other party's excitement, but the invitation to audition comes from the international director Li Eucalyptus, who just won the Oscar for Best Director more than three months ago.
I have to say that Jiang Xiao was very surprised when he heard the news. After all, the two of them only met once, and now they took the initiative to audition with him.
After the accident passed, Jiang Xiao felt a little hesitant again. Needless to say, he also knew what movie Li Yu would make next, the famous "The Story of Lao Yi".
The reason for his hesitation is precisely because this movie is quite controversial.
Tang Wei was unlucky in the end and was banned for two years.
He was thinking that maybe Li Yu wanted to find him to play the role of Wang Lihong in his memory.
Although this role did not affect the latter in any way, such as being blocked, it was based on the fact that Wang Lihong was a Wanwan person.
Just like Liang Chaowei, who is also fine, it's not because he is from Xiangjiang that people can't care about him even if they want to.
If he really plays the role, there is a huge possibility that he will be fine. After all, it is just a supporting role, not a positive one.
But who can say for sure, what if something bad happens by the way?
That's why Jiang Xiaocai didn't hear that it was Li Yu who asked him to audition, and was so happy that he couldn't find Beifang there.
Whoever made him foresight knew too much.
"Why Jiang Xiao, what's the problem? You don't seem to be happy with it?"
Ji Xiang, who was standing next to him, saw that Jiang Xiao seemed a little silent and distracted, and when his reaction was completely different from what he had imagined, he asked back, losing his excitement.
"No, I was so excited that I became extremely normal. By the way, when is the audition time and where is the location?"
After hearing this and coming back to his senses, Jiang Xiao casually found an excuse and continued to ask about the follow-up matters.
In short, after thinking about it briefly, he was ready to agree to the matter. After all, it was just an audition, and there was no guarantee whether he would be selected.
In addition, Jiang Xiao also felt that the rewards brought by starring in "Lao Yi's Story" were not worth the small risk he took.
Like Tang Wei, if he hadn't seen this movie in his life, it's hard to say whether he would have become famous.
There are gains and losses. If you don’t pay, what’s the reward?
"The time is three days later and the location is in the Magic City, so do you want to go? If so, I can help you arrange your itinerary."
He was so happy that Jiang Xiao's response made Ji Xiang not know what to say, making his answer a little uncertain.
"Go, of course, you can help me arrange it!"
Seeing Ji Xiang's reaction, Jiang Xiao also found it a bit funny and quickly nodded in the affirmative.
"Okay, there is one more thing I want to tell you. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be broadcast in Xiangjiang and Wanwan around July. The producer hopes that you can go to Wanwan to record a variety show for promotion."
After confirming the details, another thing was quickly revealed.
"Wanwan records a variety show? Is it "The Coming of Kangxi"?"
When Jiang Xiao heard that Wanwan was going to record a variety show, he immediately thought of "The Coming of Kangxi", but he didn't really want to go to avoid being "harassed" by the little s.
"It's not "Kangxi Is Coming", it's another program called "Variety Show Big Brother". I don't know if you have heard of it."
Ji Ji shook his head and quickly revealed the name of the variety show that was actually going to be recorded.
"Oh, how about not going? The filming of "33 Days of Love" should officially start in July, so I guess I won't have time."
When he heard the name of this variety show, Jiang Xiao would rather record "Kangxi Is Coming" and endure the "harassment" of Xiao S than record "Variety Show Big Brother".
The big guy, although he has never watched this program, he has heard that the host has a good sense of himself. In front of the mainland guests, he is always full of superiority, as if he is still a fake of the Fei Yuqing brothers.
Therefore, Jiang Xiao was not willing to make a special trip to appear on this painful variety show.
"Can't you squeeze out two days? I think going on a show in Wanwan can also increase your influence there?"
I felt that "33 Days of Love" was not a record of absolute reasons, so I started to persuade him with some confusion.
"Forget it, I don't know why mainland artists nowadays generally think that if they can develop in Hong Kong, it will be like improving their status."
"But I don't think so. Have you ever seen that mainland artist become famous in these two places?"
"So there is really no need to suffer discrimination and feel uncomfortable."
Jiang Xiao, who shrugged lightly, did not avoid anything and directly told Ji Xiang what he was thinking.
"But you have already offended the people in Xiangjiang Circle, and now you want to offend the people in Wanwan Circle too?"
Inexplicably, Ji Xiang felt that what Jiang Xiao said was reasonable. After thinking about it for a moment, he raised another worry.
"Isn't this considered an offence? Even if it is, why should I pick up sesame seeds if I don't eat this big watermelon from the mainland?"
"If you look at the Xiangjiang Circle, the few resources they have are not enough to support their own people, so there is nothing to say."
"And what else is there in Wanwan Circle? The film industry has been overthrown by Hollywood and has been completely destroyed time and time again. The television industry is also full of mindless idol dramas. If you come to me, I won't be willing to go."
"Besides, I want to focus on the big screen. I've mentioned this before, right? So, we really don't have to care about Xiangjiang and Wanwan. If you offend me, you'll be offended!"
When Ji asked in detail, Jiang Xiao patiently explained to him.
"Okay, then I won't go. I won't respond to the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" for the time being. I'll talk about it later."
Meeting an artist like Jiang Xiao who is very independent and persistent, Ji Xiang is not easy to be a Ji Ji person.
In addition, his qualifications are still relatively low, and he is more of a auxiliary. There is no way to really influence the former, which is a fact that has to be accepted.
…………
Three days flew by.
Jiang Xiao's figure also appeared at the Shanghai Airport and was recognized, causing a small commotion.
This is really the first time for him to encounter such a situation. At the same time, he is an artist who has crazy fans? Most of them are girls.
This is not surprising. The majority of fans have always been girls, far more than boys. They are also prone to so-called "brain damage".
Relatively speaking, of course male fans are also "brainless", but they are definitely far less than female fans.
Fortunately, there are no so-called "mom fans" in this era, who chase idols as if they were "sons".
Wang Han's scolding is quite right, aren't you ashamed? The word "mother" is originally sacred, but it is used for crazy people to chase stars.
You can forget about the real fans of older mothers, but those in their teens and twenties are all big... well, the older girls who are not yellow flowers talk about "mom" all day long, so that
People were speechless.
Although Jiang Xiao is also an artist, he really can't accept such fans. It's a kind of morbid condition and he can't help himself.
But this social form, which he personally cannot change, is an inevitable result of continuous economic development. He is too full and spiritually empty.
This can be seen from the fact that people like Xue Zhixian and Zhang Yunlei, who were awarded tens of thousands, actually have a group of die-hard fans with shattered views.
The brain circuit that is difficult to understand is also called the beautiful name. It only looks at the works and not the character. It is really an extremely "righteous" three views.
Perhaps the so-called brain-dead fans live in the real world physically, but their souls and spirits live in another world.
