Quickly Transmigrate: I am the Heroine in a Bloody and Abusive Story

Chapter 158 The Overlord Insists on Using Me as Bai Yueguang’s Stand-in (46)

Ni Fang couldn't help but ask, "Who are these two leading actors?"

Shen Xiaojing whispered in Ni Fang's ear, "They all do stage comedy. This is their first time to cross over. I heard that all the funds of this crew were used to hire them, which caused other places to be stretched. You can see that everything is simple and shabby."

"Why did Xin Yuan accept this kind of script?"

Shen Xiaojing frowned in the dark, "Aren't you a loyal fan of Xin Yuan? You don't know this? The company he signed with has recently encountered some financial crises, and all the artists under him have been released to make money. It's not just Xin Yuan, other artists have to act in these bad movies too."

"Does Liu Yin know?"

"Of course he knows. He has a very good relationship with Xin Yuan, so how could he not know? It is because he knows that he has always been embarrassed to ask Xin Yuan for help. Everyone has their own difficulties."

After an unbearable ninety minutes, the ugly movie finally ended.

The media interview session was probably well prepared, and all the questions revolved around the two popular cross-border leading actors. The only question asked to Xin Yuan was just a casual sentence -

"Xin Yuan, what does it feel like to work with two teachers?"

Ni Fang shook his head slightly in the background. Being dragged into a bad drama with only gimmicks to kill time must be a kind of harm for an actor.

When it was the audience's turn to ask questions, Ni Fang raised his arm high.

The host's eyes lit up, and the media turned around and pressed the shutter frequently. Having such a beautiful audience member asking questions on the scene would attract attention no matter whether it was published in the newspaper or posted on the website. They were not only looking forward to what kind of questions this beautiful audience member would ask, but also if it was related to the relationship status of the two leading actors, they could also hype it up.

"I would like to ask Mr. Xin Yuan, how do you understand the role of the downtrodden poet? I found that your treatment of the role is very different before and after. What is the inner driving force that caused the change of the character?"

Xin Yuan saw a pair of amber cat eyes across the crowd. The green cheongsam made her look unique.

"Thank you for your question. It allows me to talk about my understanding of the role on such an occasion..."

After the press conference, the media dispersed.

Ni Fang followed Liu Yin and others to the backstage. The two leading actors were surrounded by staff in the center of the room, while Xin Yuan stood in the corner and unwrapped the equipment wrapped around his waist alone.

"Not bad. Looking at the popularity, your fame will increase again, right?" Liu Yin patted his good brother on the shoulder.

"You told me this too." Xin Yuan's smile was a little bitter. He saw the cat eyes again. "So it's my junior schoolmate."

"Oh, yes. This is Ni Fang whom I mentioned to you before. She is a freshman this year. My new play is based on her as the protagonist."

"Hello, senior." Ni Fang greeted obediently.

"What do you think of the script? Any ideas?" Liu Yin couldn't wait any longer.

Xin Yuan knew that the current topic was not suitable to be discussed in public, so he led a few people to the empty corridor and said, "Let's talk outside."

"I've read your new script, and it's in your usual style. I also want to return to the drama club and rehearse with you, but the return on investment for me to participate in campus dramas is too low now."

"This drama is very important to us. The Yishi Drama Club hasn't produced a new drama in two years. If we can't win the school's year-end drama this time, the Yishi Drama Club will really not be able to continue."

Liu Yin would never show such emotions in front of his juniors. Only he himself knew that most of the time he was just pretending.

"If I hadn't signed with a company right now, I would definitely help you without hesitation, but now I can't say anything in front of my agent."

This is how the entertainment industry works. Young actors have no say in the company. Ni Fang realized this early on, so he looked for someone he could trust to act as his agent.

The door of the lounge opened, and the crowd surrounded the two leading actors and walked out. Everyone was dressed neatly in a suit and leather shoes. The flash lights and shutter sounds created an extremely lively scene.

At the other end of the picture are a few young people illuminated by the bleak overhead light, seeming out of place in the bustling and lively adult world.

"The company will only give me projects that can make money. Campus dramas are of no help to me except playing roles I like."

Ni Fang suddenly said, "Who said our play is just a campus play?"

Campus drama is a type of drama, produced by the school and performed by students. In addition to performing on campus on important occasions, it will also be performed in other schools as arranged by the school, so as to achieve the purpose of communication between schools. It is generally agreed to be a public welfare activity. After all, there has never been a precedent of charging for campus dramas before.

Ever since Liu Yin mentioned Xin Yuan's name yesterday, Ni Fang has been thinking about one thing.

What if they could stop focusing on the end-of-year drama?

Even if "Growth" finally beats Duan Wei's drama and becomes the end-of-year drama of the North China Film Academy and is performed on the stage of the centenary celebration, it is still just a campus drama, and the only people who will come to watch this work are students of the school or students from several surrounding colleges.

What if they could leverage Xin Yuan’s fame and bring “Growth” to the commercial stage?

Not only will more people come to watch, but the income will also be guaranteed.

What happened to Wang Pengpeng will never happen again.

Facing the people who were lost in thought, Ni Fang continued, "We can try to bring "Growth" to the commercial stage, and use the profit from ticket sales to solve your salary problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xin Yuan finally understood what Ni Fang's purpose was. Not only did she dress up as Lu Dong on purpose, she also raised her hand to ask questions to attract his attention to her, all in order to get her to agree to participate in this drama.

After entering the entertainment industry, Xin Yuan met too many people. He didn't like those who were so deep-minded, as if every word they said and every thing they did were calculated.

"With my current salary, I still can't pay for it even if I sell out all the seats in the theater." Perhaps the contrast between what Ni Fang did before and after was too severe, so he said it harshly.

Even Liu Yin was a little surprised that the usually gentle Xin Yuan could say such uncompromising words.

Ji Lanlan looked towards Ni Fang with some concern.

Shen Xiaojing laughed dryly a few times and was about to say a few words to help Ni Fang when she heard Ni Fang's voice behind her.

"Senior, you are talking about the pay for film and television, right? For this kind of pay, the company takes more and you get less, but the pay for drama is not calculated in this way."
