All the dried fish in the empire belong to Princess Elvis

The reason why Jiang Wu was recommended was because Jiang Wu had some problems at the law firm in the past two months. Simply put, she was squeezed out by her colleagues, and it was easy to make enemies in a lawsuit.

Jiang Wu has plans to start her own firm, but after all, she just graduated and has no financial foundation. Although she is a rich N generation, she doesn't want her family to bear her own financial risks.

In short, there is not enough savings on hand.

Therefore, Xia Mu thought, if Shi Xun's 1000 million remuneration could be distributed to Jiang Wu in half, all problems would be solved.

However, her idea was too simple, and the reality was cruel. This proposal was rejected by both the director and Jiang Wu.

The director said that the script has not yet been finalized, so it is inconvenient to choose a role.

Jiang Wu was afraid that people in the firm would say that she would use the entertainment circle to hype her up and affect the lawyer's image.

Anyway, things dragged on for another week.

Xia Mu has been imagining who the "big man" behind the scenes is and why Shi Xun was replaced.

Xia Duoduo heard what she said, immediately analyzed and speculated, and came to the conclusion that the big man was probably an old man in his 60s and [-]s. He leaned on a diamond-encrusted walking stick and manipulated everything behind the entertainment industry. All beautiful actors in the unspoken rules.

Xia Duoduo's brain was wide open, and she also guessed that the reason why Xia Mu was selected by the crew was actually because of the fancy of the big man, and he might be the next target of the unspoken rule.

Xia Mu was terrified when he heard the words, he could bear to sell his soul, but he couldn't sell his body!

Three days later, the drama manager sent the new script to Xia Mu, and the role opposite her was replaced by a male, and the finalized actor was Liu Hefan, a powerful actor.

This male movie star was one of the four heavenly kings back then, and he should be nearly fifty now. He was Xia Mu's father's idol when he was young.

The actor changed from his peers to his father's generation, Xia Mu didn't think much about it, he was better than Shi Xun no matter what.

Respected actors generally take care of novices, which may not be a bad thing.

She opened the script and found that this new script was adapted from an online novel.

The film company probably bought the copyright of the novel earlier, just in time to deal with this unexpected situation.

This novel was a hit on the Internet five years ago.

When she was in high school, her classmates and Xia Duoduo had talked about the plot with her, and it was so popular among teenagers all over the country.

The specific plot was somewhat forgotten, Xia Mu carefully read the outline of the story--

The heroine and the second-generation male protagonist are childhood sweethearts, studying abroad together, and their love is as strong as sea love than gold.

One day, when the male protagonist was dating, he answered a phone call, and then bid farewell to the female protagonist urgently, without leaving an explanation, and went back to his country.

Originally thought it was just a short separation, the male lead disappeared for a month without a word from him.

The hostess kept sending messages, asking what happened, but only waited for the "breakup call" from the host.

The hostess took it for granted that "the voice of the hostess is hoarse as if he had been crying", guessing that the hostess was in trouble, and immediately chased him back to the country, and finally learned that something happened in the hostess' home, his father was arrested for corruption and murder, The charges will soon be established.

Therefore, after a period of "do not want to implicate the heroine" who wants to refuse and welcome, the hero, together with the heroine, began to help his father investigate the real culprit behind the scenes.

The process of solving the case was a bit mind-blowing, but the final villain turned out to be the orphan that the male protagonist sponsored in the past——

A hideous cripple.

After graduating, the cripple gave up his professional job, came to his house in the name of repaying the hero, and worked as an accountant for the hero's father.

The evidence of money laundering committed by the hero's father was found by the lame man through this job.

Xia Mu was very confused. Why did this orphan who was funded by the hero become a pervert?

She hastily flipped through the script, and finally found the villain's motive in the last few pages—

The villain is a rural child whose family's land was confiscated. Under the coaxing of the village cadres, he only got one-fifth of the land purchase price.

After learning the truth, the villain's mother went to the village cadre's office. A few days later, she was "accidentally" run over to death by a tractor.

The eight-year-old villain limped his right foot when he was crushed by a car while trying to rescue his mother.

The villain's father went to the city to petition, and was threatened and beaten by the hero's father many times, but he still failed to get compensation, and died of depression shortly after returning to his hometown.

So, the little crippled villain became perverted, found the address where his father was petitioning, went to the male lead’s house to investigate on the spot, found out the way, and wrote to the kind male lead, saying that he was an orphan in the mountains and longed to go to college.

Because of compassion, the hero soon fell into the trap of the villain.

The revenge plan unfolded step by step. The perverted villain not only set up traps to kill the village cadres, but also killed many innocent people. In order to completely destroy the male lead's family, he used all means of revenge.

In the contest with the hero, the villain also kidnapped the heroine.

However, the plot still cannot escape the halo of the protagonist. Not only was the kidnapped heroine not beaten and abused, but the perverted villain was moved by the heroine's kindness as if he was mentally retarded...

He also had the thought of a toad wanting to eat swan meat towards the heroine.

At the end of the novel, the male protagonist found out the villain's evidence after his father was shot.

In order to prevent the hero's father from being "redressed", the villain swallowed a bullet and committed suicide with a whole body of sins.

Since then, the male protagonist's family property has been confiscated and he is penniless.

What's ridiculous is that the villain had already arranged everything before his death, and gave all the properties of the hero's family that had been embezzled over the years to the heroine as a fake rich man abroad.

The hero and heroine have lived a happy life ever since.

The reason why this novel was so popular at the beginning was mainly because of its controversy. Some readers felt that the perverted villain was pitiful.

And most of the protagonists, hated the perverted villain who turned the rich and handsome hero into a poor and miserable villain, and thought that the villain should not kill innocent people, let alone implicate the hero. After all, the kind hero once sponsored the villain to go to school .

When Xia Mu was in high school, she was also forced by her deskmate to choose the male lead or the crippled villain.

Xia Mu couldn't remember which side she chose at the time. Now, she felt that the hero was innocent, but the villain was really pitiful.

She was very curious about who played the role of the villain. The strange thing was that in the cast list, the name of the villain was: (subtitles are not allowed).

Xia Mu couldn't figure out what these six words meant, so he stopped thinking about it and started reciting his script with concentration.

-

The opening ceremony of the film was held in the studio.

Xia Mu met the king of heaven, Liu Hefan. Although he was not a fan, but after all, it was the first time he saw a superstar.

"It's my first time acting, so I may have to forgive you." Xia Mu took the vaccination in advance, worried that her amateur acting skills would blind the king's eyes.

"Just call me Fanzi, I'm used to it." Tian Wang has no airs, and comforted her with a warm smile: "Have you read the script? The role of the heroine does not require high acting skills, just take it easy and be natural. From now on Start by pretending I'm your boyfriend."

At the end, he added jokingly: "But don't get into the drama too deeply, I don't want to hurt the little girl's feelings."

Xia Mu smiled and nodded.

How could she be "too involved" with a man older than her father?

But this heavenly king seems to be... the sword is not old - he is quite handsome, mature and thoughtful, and indeed has the capital to make young girls' hearts.

A star is a star after all. Liu Hefan is 47 years old, but he looks like he is in his early thirties. No wrinkles can be seen from this distance. He is handsome and tall, with a thin and capable figure.

If age is ignored, acting as a couple with him is not out of harmony at all.

Before the filming of the first script started, the director asked a professional trainer to strengthen Xia Mu's camera sense first.

Xia Mu acted in a drama when she was a child, and she couldn't help but brought some habits from the drama.

A drama is a big stage, and the actors are far away from the audience, so they can't see the facial micro-expressions clearly, so they can only rely on slightly exaggerated acting skills to affect the emotions of the audience.

Movies are different. All subtle expressions will be infinitely magnified under the lens of the camera. A little overacting will turn off the audience's appetite. Acting must be reserved and restrained, with implied tension.

After several NGs, Xia Mu had to sigh again: 200 million is not easy to earn!

Those young fresh meats who were scolded for their acting skills were also miserable. Things were not as simple as they seemed.

After three days of hard work, several simple campus scenes were finally completed.

The script is not performed along the timeline. Most of the scenes in the same scene will be shot together.

This makes the actor's emotional connection unnatural, especially for a novice like Xia Mu.

The day before, I was still giving dog food to the male lead, and today I am going to hit the male lead with a glass and a spatula. The misunderstanding in the middle has not yet been played out, and it is really difficult to change emotions.

Just when she was barely getting used to the shooting rhythm, the actor who played the lame villain finally showed up--

At the beginning of February, a snow fell on the imperial capital.

Therefore, all the scenes with snow in the movie were all shot in these few days.

Generally speaking, Liu Hefan's drama will be the first one to be filmed every day, and Xia Mu is also in the spotlight, and basically starts working as soon as he arrives at the crew, and never needs to wait.

But on this day, both she and Liu Hefan could only sit in the van and wait—

I heard from the drama assistant that today is the first scene of a certain big shot.

"What?" Xia Mu was shocked: "Big man? You mean the old man behind the scenes also participated in this play?"

"What old man?" The assistant looked blank.

Before Xia Mu got out of the "old man with unspoken rules" that Xia Duoduo guessed, he replied eagerly, "That's the big guy."

"Oh, yes!" The assistant muttered obsessively for a second, "His Royal Highness agreed to participate, but for some reason, he insisted on acting as a villain who will make the audience hate and tear apart the heroine and her lover." .”

"What did you say?!" Xia Mu stretched her neck, as if she heard some strange address!

Just as the assistant was about to answer, a white RV parked not far away made a "hula", and the door was suddenly pulled open...

"Your Highness, have you put on your makeup?!"

The assistant roared, and the enthusiasm of all the people in the audience seemed to be ignited by the open car door. A group of assistants ran over in groups of three and four, and surrounded the luxury car parked in front of Xia Mu.

Xia Mu had an ominous premonition.

This scene seems familiar, every time a bear cub appears at the police station, it will also cause this level of paralysis...

The fragmented thoughts in her head were gradually strung into threads--

Shi Xun was replaced with an order, the script changed from a love theme to a crime theme, and the name column of the crippled villain reads (subtitles cannot appear)...

Xia Mu's eyes gradually widened.

"What's the matter with you?" Liu Hefan still raised his head, asked the makeup artist to apply the powder, and squinted at Xia Mu.

Xia Mu looked dull and didn't answer. He opened the car door like a ghost, stepped into the snow, and walked slowly towards the RV in front.

She sharpened her head and tried her best to sneak into the crowd, and saw the side face of the "crime villain" at a glance, and almost didn't recognize it——

In the white snow, the "cripple" was wearing thin and ripped clothes, so old that he could barely see the color, his slender and straight figure with a back like a gun, showed a sharp vitality in the snow, and he didn't look down at all.

A head of curly hair was caught at the back of the head and bundled into a messy bun. A few strands of hair were stuck to the cheeks, as if they were condensed and uncurled because they hadn't bathed for a long time.

Those peach-blossom pupils, covered by the dusty dust on the corners of the eyes and brows, appeared to be shockingly clear purple pupils.

The tall bridge of the nose was also smeared with dirt, giving it a dirty look.

But the corners of the mouth that were naturally upturned that day still showed the man's unruly smile that was not a smile.

"Juanjuan?" Xia Mu looked surprised.

The action director was surrounded in the center and couldn't use it, so he waved away the crowd around him, and then returned to Duan Zitong, making a limping gesture.

His Royal Highness Egg Roll lowered his head, carefully watching the movements of his feet, the dirty little face became more distinct due to the smearing of dust.

Xia Mu and a group of people were dispersed by the bodyguards, and they still stood not far away and looked around--

Juanjuan was wearing old ripped trousers, with a pair of long legs limping awkwardly, imitating the posture of the movement instructor, limping forward in the snow with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

"My God! I'm so fascinated!"

Beside Xia Mu, a make-up artist covered his chest and sighed excitedly: "Why did you let His Highness Wuli Eggroll play the villain! What a waste of money! Doesn't the cripple in the novel look like the clock tower man? The heroine will still be like this when she grows up like this!" Do you want a male lead! Cataracts!"

The production assistant on the other side took a deep breath and murmured: "What's wrong with the cripple? Look at those long legs, I can accept even high paraplegia!"

Xia Mu: "..."

The crowd is still discussing--

"Why does Your Highness want to play the villain? It's okay to be a cripple, but what kind of perverted murderer are you playing?"

"Who knows, His Highness himself asked to play a villain that the audience hates and tries to separate the hero and heroine."

"His Royal Highness must be very focused on acting, so he deliberately challenged difficult roles."

……

Xia Mu's head was buzzing, and he had gradually accepted the fact that the handicapped child in the distance was a bear cub.

However, focus on acting skills?

Based on her knowledge of bear cubs, it is impossible for Juanjuan to have such lofty ideas!

The real reason is actually quite simple--

First, His Royal Highness Eggroll wanted to choose a "hateful and ugly character" so that he could easily enter the crew and be on guard against Xia Mu and the hero's "cross-border behavior" at any time.

It can also make the people hate, get rid of the bad luck of being hugged in the street at any time recently, kill two birds with one stone, and make small calculations crackle.

Secondly, destroying the good things of stupid cats is probably the motto of His Royal Highness Eggroll's life.

Playing the role of the villain who breaks up the stupid cat and the lover, His Highness can play the role as it is, without any need to brew emotions.

Although Xia Mu knew Xiong Cub fairly well, he couldn't figure out the complicated inner world of Juanjuan after all.

She followed the camera all the way, hoping to find a chance to strike up a conversation after Juan Juan finished filming the scene.

Ask clearly: Why do you want to turn off your phone!

In the first scene of Juanjuan, he had to hang out outside an open-air food stall. After a table of customers left after eating, he went up to steal leftovers, and was expelled from the shop by the boss.

Frankly speaking, just seeing the bear cub dressed like this in the cold weather made Xia Mu feel distressed. At this moment, seeing Juanjuan stealthily grabbing the leftovers on the table to eat, she almost collapsed...

His Royal Highness Egg Roll really doesn't have any acting skills, but just according to the director's request, playing the role of the little beggar orphan hiding by the wall.

When the guests left, the little beggar rushed into the room, grabbed the food on the table, and devoured it hungrily, his cheeks bulging like a hamster, his face almost numb and expressionless.

Xia Mu was tortured to death by this scene.

God is really unfair, Juan Juan's expressionless acting actually looks real and sincere, really like an orphan who has been starved for three or four days.

Immediately afterwards, the owner of the food stall spotted the dirty little beggar stealing leftovers, and immediately rushed over brandishing a spatula.

The little beggar didn't run away, and stared calmly at the boss with a pair of purple pupils, seized the last moment, and stuffed two more pieces of duck meat into his mouth.

It wasn't until the boss kicked over that the little beggar limped out of the store quickly. With a pair of numb purple pupils, he looked unwillingly at the dishes on the table and at the spatula in the boss's hand, with no expression on his face. .

It was the kind of numb look shown by an orphan abandoned by the world.

Because crying can't get anyone's pity back, so I can only live like a wild beast.

The boss dumped all the leftovers into the trash can, and pointed at the little beggar's nose with a spatula: "Get lost! If you dare to run into the store again, I will beat you to death."

The little beggar's cheeks were still swollen, he didn't swallow any food, and he stopped chewing, and there was a layer of mist in his eyes.

This scene made Xia Mu's heart twitch.

Suppressed choking sounds came from beside him one after another, and the onlookers were actually moved.

I really didn't expect that the bear cub could have such acting skills.

However, after the director said "cut", Juanjuan rushed into the food stall, picked up the napkin, spit out all the unpalatable food in his mouth, and muttered tearfully, "Why didn't you go to the dessert shop to shoot this scene?"

Xia Mu: "..."

The moment of being touched ceased to exist, and the bear cub cried because he was disgusted by himself, not because of his acting skills!
