Not only the people in the martial arts troupe couldn't figure it out, but even Fang Lietong himself couldn't figure out why Xu Zhou was 'favoured' by him.
The hotel where the martial arts troupe is located is not the same hotel as the hotel where Xu Zhousu Luoxi stayed.
But the distance is not particularly far.
Fang Lietong didn't even take a taxi, but ran towards the hotel where Xu Zhou was staying with his backpack on his back.
When Fang Lietong came to the hotel lobby, he was already out of breath.
Xu Zhou and Su Luoxi were sitting in a corner of the hotel lobby. When they saw Fang Lietong coming into the hotel breathing heavily, Xu Zhou stood up and waved to him.
Fang Lietong trotted over quickly.
He said somewhat nervously and cautiously: "Hello... Teacher Xu, hello."
Xu Zhou smiled and said, "Sit down first."
"Oh, okay."
Fang Lietong sat opposite Xu Zhou a little nervously, with his butt on the sofa and his hands on his knees a little awkwardly.
Seeing this, Xu Zhou smiled and said, "You can take off your backpack first. Don't be too nervous. Let's just have a brief chat."
"Oh oh oh."
Only then did Fang Lietong realize that he sat down directly with his backpack on his back.
He took off his backpack with some embarrassment, put it next to him, and returned to his previous restraint.
It is said that Fang Lietong is the kind of person who has seen the world, and after all, he has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
But in front of Xu Zhou, he was like a primary school student meeting his teacher, acting a little at a loss.
Xu Zhou ordered three breakfasts.
Duck blood vermicelli and soup dumplings.
After breakfast was delivered by the service staff, Xu Zhou ate a soup dumpling and then asked Fang Lietong: "Have you ever acted in a play before?"
Fang Litong nodded, then shook his head and said: "I have acted, but they were all minor roles, not even supporting roles."
He tried his best to answer Xu Zhou in Mandarin.
Listening to his Yupu, Xu Zhou smiled and said: "You can just speak Yu provincial dialect, I can understand it."
Fang Lietong swallowed a small steamed bun and said it was a hit!
Xu Zhou asked him: "Do you want to be an actor in Qingcheng?"
Click!
"Ahem!"
Hearing Xu Zhou's sudden question, Fang Lietong, who had just eaten a xiaolongbao, almost had it stuck in his throat. He quickly took a sip of duck blood vermicelli soup.
Wiped his mouth.
He looked up at Xu Zhou, and he didn't know whether he was excited or said in an excited tone: "Yes, I want to be an actor. Teacher Xu, why do you like me? Many people say that I am not material to be an actor."
Xu Zhou put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Fang Lietong, and said seriously: "No one is born to be an actor. You have a temperament that other actors don't have. Whether you are acting in TV or movies,
You all have great potential, I am optimistic about you, so I want to invite you to join Qingcheng."
Xu Zhou's sincere words moved Fang Lietong deeply.
He felt that Xu Zhou was his Bole!
Fang Litong even suddenly had the thought of dying for his confidant.
Teacher Xu takes himself too seriously!
Without thinking about it, he quickly nodded and agreed: "Teacher Xu, I am willing to join Qingcheng. I am willing to film for you, even if you don't pay me."
Xu Zhou corrected him: "Remember, you are not filming for me, but for you. Of course, you will be paid for the film. We will act in accordance with the contract."
"I listen to Teacher Xu." Fang Lietong said with a smile, looking a little honest.
The main reason why Xu Zhou wanted to get Fang Lietong to Qingcheng was for the future development of the company.
Although Qingcheng has actors, and he and Su Luoxi are in charge, which company would dislike having too many good actors at its disposal?
Besides, Xu Zhou has so many excellent films and TV series, not every TV series or movie is suitable for them to star in.
Just like "Soldier Assault", Xu Zhou cannot play Xu Sanduo.
There are also Sha Gen in "A World Without Thieves", Tang Ren in Tang Detective, and Feng Yuxiu.
For Fang Lietong, Xu Zhou's invitation to join Qingcheng was like a pie in the sky.
He just looks honest, but he's not stupid at heart.
Know how to choose.
Just like Wang Baoqiang in the original time and space, no matter how stupid he is, he will not become an iconic star in China Entertainment from a grassroots.
Since Fang Lietong is willing to go to Qingcheng, Xu Zhou can arrange many film and television dramas.
Xu Zhou asked again: "If you go to Qingcheng and leave the Henan Province Martial Arts Group, there shouldn't be any contract disputes, right?"
Fang Lietong shook his head and said: "I can just resign directly, and there will be no contractual disputes."
That's OK.
Everything must be done according to the rules.
Xu Zhou said: "When you and the martial arts troupe have settled the contract matters, just come directly to Qingcheng, the magic city, and the company will arrange a house for you."
Fang Lietong asked: "Teacher Xu, when I get to Qingcheng, can I act directly?"
Xu Zhou shook his head and said, "No, your main task this year is to read novels."
Fang Lietong's face was full of questions.
Xu Zhou smiled and said: "I will write a novel in a while. You just need to read the novel thoroughly."
After "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is finished, Xu Zhou will arrange "Soldier Assault".
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has been updated for several months. Xu Zhou can finish the book before the Lantern Festival.
As for "Soldier Assault", the word count of this book is not particularly large, only about 400,000 words.
Xu Zhou will be able to complete it in less than a month.
The TV series adapted from this novel is definitely a milestone in the history of TV series in the original time and space.
After the show was launched, it set many records.
This drama can be called the pinnacle of military-themed TV dramas!
After it was broadcast, many young people even walked into the Green Army Camp after watching this TV series.
The influence of "Soldier Assault" is evident.
In addition, this TV series has produced many movie stars.
Needless to say, Wang Baoqiang plays the role of Xu Sanduo.
There are also Chen Sicheng who plays Cheng Cai, Zhang Yi who plays squad leader Shi Jin, and Duan Yihong...
Nowadays, most of the TV series produced by Qingcheng are still based on martial arts costumes.
Xu Zhou wants to change this phenomenon and diversify the production of film and television dramas.
So it would be very good to have a passionate military theme.
Moreover, Xu Zhou does not plan to star in the TV series "Soldier Assault", but he plans to direct it!
But before that, Xu Zhou has to work on a music variety show.
After finishing breakfast and negotiating with Fang Lietong, Xu Zhou and Su Luoxi temporarily returned to the hotel room.
Fang Lietong wanted to return to Henan Province first and settle the matter before going to Magic City.
What happened in the past two days was still a bit foggy to him.
Out of nowhere, I was invited by Xu Zhou Xiangzhong to become an actor.
Xu Zhou and Su Luoxi left the capital that day.
Fang Lietong, on the other hand, took the train and returned to Henan Province.
He and the martial arts troupe almost came back front and back.
His resignation procedure went through fairly smoothly.
It's just that when Fang Litong left the martial arts group, the others were obviously in mixed moods.
Previously, Fang Lietong was definitely the most inconspicuous person in the group.
Unexpectedly, I went to Beijing to attend the Spring Festival Gala and was invited by Xu Zhou to Qingcheng.
Even if Fang Lietong cannot become a big star, his future life will definitely be better than in the group.
After completing the resignation process.
Fang Lietong returned to his hometown in the countryside.
His parents still live in the countryside.
Fang Lietong returned to Yu Province in the morning. By the time he got home, it was already afternoon.
But this year is not over yet.
After all, this is the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Fang's father and mother were very happy to see Fang Lietong back.
This time Fang Lietong went to the Spring Festival Gala, which obviously made them proud. Now when they go out, no matter who sees them in the village, they will mention Fang Lietong's appearance in the Spring Festival Gala, even though Fang Lietong is just a small actor on the Spring Festival Gala stage.
Role.
But for ordinary people, being able to be on the Spring Festival Gala stage, no matter what you do, is amazing.
Fang’s mother brought several plates of dumplings.
Fang Lietong picked up his chopsticks and ate.
The first thing he said was: "Dad, I resigned from the martial arts troupe. I will go to Shanghai in two days."
Father Fang, who was watching the replay of the Spring Festival Gala, frowned when he heard this.
"What, what are you talking about? You resigned from the martial arts troupe? Why do you want to make a fuss? Why are you going to the magic city?!"
Fang Lietong devoured the dumplings.
He felt a little uncomfortable when he and Xu Zhou ate duck blood vermicelli in the morning.
It’s still more comfortable to eat dumplings at home.
He said: "I want to be an actor, make TV and movies in the future, and become a star in the future."
Father Fang suddenly became angry.
"Stop daydreaming! Don't you know how much you weigh? Are you the type to be a star!?"
"Although the salary of the martial arts troupe is small, at least you can get a salary of several thousand yuan a month, and you can also attend the Spring Festival Gala. If you become an actor, it is just a side job. What is your future? If you can't do it, you will be honest with me after the New Year."
Return to the martial arts troupe!"
Fang Litong lowered his head and said: "I have officially resigned. I will go to Shanghai in a few days. I have already decided."
Upon hearing this, Father Fang became even more angry. He pointed at Fang Litong and cursed: "You brat, why didn't you tell me about such an important thing?!"
Fang Lietong then said: "I just decided today. It's Xu Zhou. Do you know Xu Zhou? He personally invited me. He invited me to join Qingcheng and said that I am very suitable to be an actor."
Fang's father and Fang's mother were stunned at the same time.
Xu Zhou?
How could they not know Xu Zhou.
Even if they are not star-chasing and don't care about things in the entertainment industry, Xu Zhou knows.
In the past two years, the TV series produced by Xu Zhou have become popular, especially the martial arts dramas, which have become popular in Daxia.
This year, it was the second time that she appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage and caused a sensation.
Father Fang asked with some surprise: "Are you sure it's Xu Zhou and not a liar?"
Fang Litong said with a bit of laughter and tears: "It's not a liar, it's Xu Zhou himself. We had breakfast together this morning, and he will arrange a place for me to stay in Shanghai when we get there."
Father Fang shook his head and said: "Even if Xu Zhou wants you to be an actor, he can definitely let you be the leading actor. Although your father doesn't know much about the entertainment industry, but who of the big stars in the entertainment industry looks like you?"
This... is not handsome!"
Father Fang's words were tactful enough, and he did not directly say that Fang Lie was equally ugly.
Fang Lietong complained in his heart that his appearance was not all due to genetics.
But he didn't dare to say this directly.
But he was determined to go to the Magic City by himself.
He said: "No matter what, I will definitely go to the Magic City. I will definitely become an actor. One day, I will definitely become a big star!"
Father Fang attacked and said: "Just dream about your spring and autumn dreams! No one in our old Fang family can become a big star. Can't we work down-to-earth in the martial arts troupe?"
Fang Lietong stood up and said: "Dad, people must have dreams. If you don't have dreams, what's the difference between you and that salted fish? I believe in Teacher Xu, he will definitely make me famous."
Fang Lietong stayed at home for only two days, and then took the train directly to the Magic City.
...
As for Xu Zhou and Su Luoxi, they first went back to Su County and stayed in their hometown for a few days before returning to the Magic City.
By the way, I will finish "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and upload "Soldier Assault".
Xu Zhou's operation caught many book fans off guard.
Everyone did not expect that Xu Zhou would achieve seamless connection this time. As soon as he finished a book, he would start a new one directly.
Unlike last time, it took Xu Zhou several months to announce the news of his new book.
But since a new book has been released, everyone can just read it!
Fang Lietong had been in Magic City for several days. After arriving in Magic City, Xu Zhou arranged for him to be moved to Qingcheng's staff dormitory.
A private room was arranged for him.
Fang Lietong's main task now is to read Xu Zhou's "Soldier Assault".
Xu Zhou also assigned him a task to write a review every day.
Just like assigning homework.
Fang Lietong is not Wang Baoqiang.
Xu Zhou didn't know how good Fang Lietong's acting skills were.
Therefore, he must read the book "Soldier Assault" thoroughly and truly understand Xu Sanduo. When filming "Soldier Assault", he can better train this actor.
After "Soldier Assault" appeared in Ta Yue, when I saw the title and the introduction of the book, many book friends did not expect that Xu Zhou's new book would be about military themes. This is a big change.
Xu Zhou has written many types of novels, including fairy tales, martial arts, tomb robbing suspense, and magic. This time he has written another military-themed book.
In the update on the first day, Xu Zhou only wrote that Xu Sanduo joined the army. When he reported to the recruit company, he saw the tank and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
At this point, Xu Zhou broke off a chapter.
Xu Zhou looked at the results of his new book. Although there were many people who supported it, there was a lot of negative information in the comments.
Many readers mentioned that they did not like the character Xu Sanduo written by Xu Zhou.
I think Xu Sanduo is too honest, too stupid, and too stupid!
How can such a protagonist be called a soldier?
It would be better to become a talented person.
However, Fang Lietong, who stayed in the dormitory and read quietly, liked Xu Zhou's novel very much.
Because he saw many similarities with himself in Xu Sanduo.
Xu Sanduo comes from the countryside, and he also comes from the countryside.
When I was a child, I seemed to have been bullied by the children in the same village.
Xu Sanduo's father, named Xu Sanduo Guizi, believed that his son had no future.
Fang Lietong's father was also not very optimistic about the path Fang Lietong had chosen.
Xu Zhou did not tell Fang Lietong that he would star in Xu Sanduo.
But reading this novel, Fang Lietong felt that this role should have been prepared by Xu Zhou for himself.
He pays more attention to the daily updates.
As Xu Sanduo grew up in the army, the book "Soldier Assault" received more and more attention.
When it was first released, fans gave this book mixed reviews.
Not many people like Xu Sanduo's cowardly appearance at the beginning.
There is nothing manly about him, nothing like a soldier!
But as he entered the army, he persisted in paving the way on the grassland, and later joined the 7th Steel Company. He gradually grew from the youngest to the king of soldiers. Xu Sanduo's growth journey moved many book fans.
This is just a novel.
For "Soldier Assault" to truly have a crazy impact, we still have to wait until it is made into a TV series.
In the original time and space, when this TV series was released, the Internet media was not very developed, so it could create a sensational effect.
In today's Internet age, when this TV series is launched, its influence will only be greater!
February 10th.
Green Orange Entertainment.
Xu Zhou convened a meeting with the main personnel of Suguo Video and Suguo Music.
"Penguin Music is creating a new type of music variety show. Our main task this year is to create a variety show, also in the music genre." Xu Zhou said straight to the point.
The staff in the conference room were basically middle- and upper-level people in Suguo. When Xu Zhou said this, everyone's expressions on their faces were very relaxed and there was no sense of tension at all.
With Xu Zhouzai, the music variety show produced will definitely be better than Penguin!
Someone said: "Teacher Xu, as long as you are here, no matter what variety show our Suguo does, the ratings are guaranteed, not to mention it is related to the type of music."
There was a chorus of agreement from below.
Another person said: "I heard that Penguin spent a lot of money this time and invited many singers. They want to let these singers compete on the same stage and finally crown the king of singers. How many singers should we invite?"
Xu Zhou said: "We only invite two people, Zhong Yuhe and Chen Chen, to be judges. Our variety show is aimed at ordinary people. As long as you have a good voice and sing well, you can stand on our stage."
Someone said: "Teacher Xu, if this is the case, wouldn't it have too much appeal? Penguin invites a star, which can bring a star's traffic. Although Zhong Yuhe and Chen Chen have a great influence in the music world, they cannot hold it.
Penguin invites many celebrities."
Xu Zhou said calmly: "The quality of a variety show does not depend on the number of stars, but on the quality of the program. Don't worry, after our variety show is launched, it will definitely rank first in popularity."
Xu Zhou briefly talked about the planning content of this variety show.
He said: "I, Luo Xi, Zhong Yuhe and Chen Chen, a total of four judges and mentors, will build four seats that can be turned around. Our backs are to the stage. When the contestants come on stage, the four of us, according to how good their singing is,
Bad, decide whether to turn around or not.”
"Having a mentor turn around for a player means that the player can advance to the next round, and the player has the right to choose a mentor. Which mentor he chooses means which team he joins."
"The players from the last four mentor teams will compete one by one to determine the overall champion!"
"Each season, we can produce almost a dozen episodes of the show."
When everyone listened to Xu Zhou's content, they felt that this program was very novel and highly operational.
Someone asked: "Teacher Xu, what is the name of our program?"
Xu Zhou turned around and wrote a few words on the blackboard in the conference room.
Everyone looked up and saw five big characters on it.
