This is the anti-theft badge
Thinking of this possibility, the joy in his heart suddenly diminished a lot. He wants to enter the entertainment industry, firstly because he likes acting; secondly, because this industry can make money quickly, which can greatly reduce his life burden. Although he is in a relationship with Ji Mian, he is not willing to live by each other. He prefers to stand shoulder to shoulder with him and become a presence worthy of him.
In a word, he wants to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry with his own efforts, rather than taking advantage of Ji Mian's potential.
Ji Mian explained earnestly, "I did give you a chance, but I didn't make the producer and director have to choose you. You entered by your own strength. The role of Shi Yu is optimistic, cheerful, and affectionate. Righteousness, it is very close to your image. And he has just started working, and he is very young in every aspect, and when you auditioned, although your acting skills were good, you also had a sense of youth, which is precisely because of this, The director gave up so many popular stars and chose you. Le Yang, you have to believe in yourself, you are very talented in acting, and with a little training, you will definitely reach a higher level. I am very optimistic about you."
Lin Leyang's face turned red from the praise, and the grudge just now disappeared. He nodded vigorously and said cautiously, "Brother Ji, I will definitely work hard, and I will never lose face to you."
"Okay, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Ji Mian rubbed his head with a smile, and then took out a contract, "I'm going to sign you, do you see what other terms need to be changed?"
"Who are we and who, we can just sign, what else are we looking at." Lin Leyang picked up the signature pen and turned to the last page, but was stopped by Ji Mian.
The two were talking when Fang Kun came in with a cigarette in his mouth, "Brother Ji, do you have something to do with me?" While talking, he put the cigarette pestle in the ashtray, and smirked, "Yo, Le Yang is there too? I heard that you auditioned for the cast of "The Apostle"? What was the result?" However, he didn't need to ask him to know that with Ji Mian there, Lin Leyang could get a role he was satisfied with no matter how bad his acting skills were.
Lin Leyang's smile became much lighter, and nodded, "Hello, Brother Kun, I have a role as the third male." In fact, he prefers the fourth male. Although that role hangs up early, he and Ji are brothers in the play. Lots of rivalry.
"Congratulations then, the character setting of the third male suits you very well." Fang Kun sat on the sofa at the other end, glanced at the coffee table from time to time, and found an A-level contract on it. expression.
Ji Mian waited for the two of them to exchange greetings before saying, "Akun, please bring Leyang with you in the future."
"What do you mean? Let me be his manager?" Fang Kun stiffened instantly. If he was given the right to choose, he would never take Lin Leyang. This person is soft-hearted, has no sense of responsibility, has no idea, but he has extremely high self-esteem, and always thinks that others look down on him, so he acts awkwardly, and he is too sensitive. Taking him alone is more tiring than taking a group of trainees! But now Ji Mian has spoken, he has to agree no matter what.
Similarly, Lin Leyang was also full of resistance. He didn't like the way Fang Kun looked at him, scrutiny, suspicion, vigilance, and even contempt. You don't need to think about him to know that this person must look down on himself and think that he is not worthy of being with Ji Mian. In the future, he will get along with Fang Kun day and night, which feels more suffocating than putting it in a cover.
Of course, he could actually overcome these problems, but he had agreed with Chen Pengxin long before the audition that if he became an artist, he would definitely hire him as a manager. Chen Pengxin and he were high school classmates, and their family background was very difficult, so they made an appointment to come to Kyoto. At the beginning, they didn't even have a place to live. They even huddled together in the same bridge hole, warming each other, encouraging each other, and supporting each other. Finally got what it is today. Chen Pengxin's communication skills are very good, and he always earns more than him, so he often helps him.
It is no exaggeration to say that in this world, the person who helped Lin Leyang the most was Chen Pengxin, and even Ji Mian had to be behind. After all, they were friends who grew up together. Now Chen Pengxin is also working in Guanshi, but due to his short entry time and low qualifications, he can only do odd jobs, and he does not know when he will be able to make his debut.
Brother Ji gave himself a chance, so Lin Leyang also wanted to give his friends a chance. After hesitating for a moment, he firmly said, "Brother Ji, can you let me choose my own agent?"
Fang Kun's tensed body slowly relaxed. He knew that Ji Mian was very fond of this kid, and Ji Mian could agree to any request made by this kid.
Sure enough, Ji Mian nodded and said without even thinking, "Who do you want to choose? Call me to have a look."
"Okay brother Ji, wait a minute, I'll call him right away. His name is Chen Pengxin. I was born when I was young. We have been playing together since we were young." I was buying coffee for my colleague outside, urging him to come back.
"Brother Ji, did you promise me?" Lin Leyang confirmed after hanging up the phone.
"As long as your friend has good ability and good character, I will promise you." Ji Mian turned on the computer, called up a brokerage contract, and said sternly, "But friends are friends, business is business, and you have to sign with him. A formal contract that defines the rights and obligations of both parties.”
"Of course." Lin Leyang assured happily, "Brother Ji, Chen Pengxin has a strong ability and a good character. I grew up with him, and I know him best. He introduced me to Guanshi for my internship. He is very good, but there is no chance, we will definitely work hard in the future..."
Fang Kun interrupted his talk, "Did you tell him about your relationship with Brother Ji?"
"No, absolutely not! I won't hurt Brother Ji!" Lin Leyang quickly denied.
Fang Kun said sternly, "You have worked for Brother Ji as an assistant, and you are not unfamiliar with the entertainment industry. You should know that there are eyes everywhere in this circle. Your relationship with Brother Ji must be kept secret and not allowed to be known to anyone."
"Of course, do you want me to swear?" Lin Leyang raised a hand, but Ji Mian held it gently, "No, I believe you. Leyang, I'm about to die, and coming out of the closet will affect me. Not big, but you have a long way to go, and I can't ruin your future. It's not out of self-preservation, but out of love. Can you trust me?"
Lin Leyang shook his hand tightly and said firmly, "I believe in you." How could he not believe Ji Mian? He knows Ji Mian too well. He is generous, open-minded, and willing to help those around him in need. He has never had anything to do with the words "selfishness".
Ji Mian seemed very happy, leaned over and kissed her little boyfriend's cheek, and sighed, "Le Yang, it's my luck to meet you."
Lin Leyang blushed, couldn't help laughing foolishly, and answered silently in his heart: It's my luck to meet you!
The two sprinkled dog food for a while, and Ji Mian suddenly teased, "If one day I want to officially come out of the closet, are you afraid?"
Lin Leyang shook his head without thinking, "Don't be afraid!" If you want to hide, I will stand behind you silently; if you want to make it public, I will bravely stand in front of you, as long as we can be together safely and securely.
Ji Mian laughed even more happily, and took her little boyfriend into her arms and hugged her hard.
Fang Kun was about to be killed by the cold dog food, and said solemnly, "I'll tell you first, you must not act too intimately in the public. If there is any rumor about you, Brother Ji It's nothing. The worst one must be Lin Leyang. Being hacked is light, and it is more likely that he will quit the entertainment industry forever. Hey, did you hear what I said?"
Lin Leyang finally broke free from Ji Mian's arms, blushing and nodded, "I heard, I will definitely keep my distance."

Three days later, "The Apostle" was officially launched, and Xiao Jiashu brought an agent and an assistant to the studio to participate in the opening ceremony. After the incense, the director invited everyone to eat together and get to know each other.
Seeing Xiao Jiashu's manager and assistant, Fang Kun's eyes bulged out, and he leaned into Ji Mian's ear and said, "What is Xiao Jiashu's background, even the two swordsmen of the Huang family can be invited?"
Huang's double swordsmen refer to Huang Meixuan and Huang Zijin. One of them is the gold medal broker of Guanshi Entertainment, and the other is known as the star maker. They specialize in physique classes, acting classes, dance classes, etc. for artists, although the fees are expensive. It is outrageous, but the effect is surprisingly good, and it can be said that everyone in the circle is flocking to it. There are at least a dozen superstars in their hands, and their qualifications are very strong. A few days ago, Fang Kun also heard that these two were planning to follow Suri and go out on their own. Is Xiao Jiashu's background that scary
Ji Mian never took the initiative to inquire about these things, so he waved his hand and motioned Fang Kun not to ask more.
At the same time, although the legendary young master Xiao was sitting upright in his position, looking very calm and quiet, his hands under the table were rubbing around, very excited. In order to reduce the fire, he has been drinking white porridge for half a month, and finally got out of the sight of his mother, how can he not eat a meal? That sizzling mandarin fish is so beautiful in color... I want to eat it; that pineapple duck slice is so fragrant, it should be salty and sweet... I want to eat it; that three-color egg is so special, it looks better than the chef of the Michelin restaurant made The deviled eggs are delicious... I'm hungry...
Young Master Xiao sat upright, with a calm expression, but a lot of saliva had already been secreted, and he was swallowing it back silently and diligently. Seeing that the director stood up and seemed to be about to say the opening remarks, he hurriedly appealed in his heart: Director, be sure to make a long story short, let's not be bureaucratic, ah!
"Why did you start chatting with him?" Shi Tingheng came out of the box, also holding a pack of cigarettes in his hand, "I drank Luo Zhangwei a few glasses of wine just now and found out something. This young master Xiao's family is very wealthy and has a very strong background. It's incredible, I took the role of Ling Feng directly without even going to the audition, no wonder no one at the wine table ignored him, and even the director dared to show his face when he spoke."
"Luo Zhangwei's old problem hasn't changed yet?" Ji Mian smiled disapprovingly. Although Luo Zhangwei usually talks a lot, he still knows what to say and what not to say. However, once he drinks too much, his mouth becomes a big trumpet. Because of this, he has also been sacked several times by unknown persons.
"It's much better now than before, and I hired an assistant to help him stop drinking." Shi Tingheng lit a cigarette and continued, "I heard that Xiao Jiashu just graduated this year and studied financial management, so he has no foundation in acting. He played against him in the crew. The most people are you, you have to be mentally prepared."
"It's all from the same company, just take a group of juniors, it's nothing." Ji Mian waved.
"You really have a good temper. What I'm most afraid of is bringing new people. It's a lot of trouble! A young man who just graduated from college and is studying in the Department of Finance, does he have any acting skills? If it weren't for his tough background, Director Luo would never agree to employ people. No wonder he would drink it when anyone toasted Director Luo today. This is a fire in his heart." Shi Tingheng seemed to think of something, and couldn't help shaking his head, "These second-generation rich are really... They can't read or study. Work and work are not good. When they find out that the entertainment industry is making money soon, they want to come and eat. They think it is easy to be an actor? Can you turn red with just one face? Tsk tsk... "
Ji Mian was silent for a moment, then smashed the cigarette butt, and said seriously, "I still know whether he is good at acting or not. Didn't you find out? He graduated from Wharton School with a master's degree. By the way, he just started this year. Twenty." Then he walked away.
Shi Tingheng was stunned for a long time before he spit out a circle of eyes, "Fuck, since I can be admitted to Wharton Business School and graduated with a master's degree, what kind of entertainment is there? I can't think of it!"
---
Xiao Jiashu returned to the box and found that the director had been drinking too high, and was being held by two assistants. He was about to leave the venue. The rest of the creative staff were still entertaining and did not seem to plan to leave early. You must know that Shi Tingheng and Ji Mian have not left, whoever misses the opportunity to befriend them is a fool.
Huang Meixuan finally waited for Young Master Xiao to come back, and hurriedly pushed the filled wine glass over, and explained in a low voice, "Go, get to know the actors in the crew, each toast, you don't need to drink too much."
"I don't like drinking," Xiao Jiashu pushed the wine glass away and emphasized, "I also don't want to know the people in the crew. I'll leave after filming, who knows who I am?"
"You kid..." Huang Meixuan was interrupted by Huang Zijin before he finished speaking, "Sister, don't force Xiaoshu. He has just entered the circle, so he has to get used to it first."
"What's there to get used to, it's all basic communication..." The siblings quarreled over whether to toast or not. Fortunately, the voices were not loud and the expressions were not ugly, so they didn't attract the attention of others.
Xiao Jiashu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked up his chopsticks to eat. Before he started acting, he was already tired of this circle. It's no wonder that outsiders call the entertainment industry Vanity Fair. Here, you don't care about your identity, education, or morality. As long as you have a face that turns all living beings upside down, you can soar. In this circle, you can climb fast, climb high, and fall down just as quickly.
Xiao Jiashu doesn't like the glitz and hustle of this circle, so naturally he doesn't like acting. Fortunately, there are not many scenes for him. If it goes well, it can be done in a month. While he was burying his head in his food, the actors at the next table were constantly looking over here.
Since it is Vanity Fair, there are primary, secondary, and inferior. When arranging the banquet, the main creators and the dispensable ordinary employees will not be in the same box; the director, starring, producers, investors and actors with few roles will not be in the same table. If the positions were arranged according to the coffee positions, Xiao Jiashu would never be able to sit between the director and Ji Mian, but he did, and his attitude was so arrogant that he had to be looked at.
Miao Muqing, the female lead of the crew, was supposed to sit in Xiao Jiashu's seat, but just before the banquet, she found out that her brand name had been placed on the next table, and a fire had already been held in her stomach. She folded her arms and her face was ashen. She only waited for the person who was vying for the seat to come, and then she started the trouble. In the end, the person came, but she couldn't make the trouble, because the manager of the other party was Huang Meixuan, and the assistant was Huang Zijin. How top is this? Even if you think about it with your knees, you know that Young Master Xiao's background is definitely not simple.
Miao Muqing's anger suddenly became hot, and she didn't have the heart to socialize with the people at the same table. She only concentrated on waiting for the opportunity to get close to Young Master Xiao.
"Sister Miao, I'll give you a toast. I heard that you also graduated from Media University? I'm your junior..." Lin Leyang filled a glass of wine and handed it to Miao Muqing respectfully, but the other party didn't appreciate it, and even A little impatient, he pushed the glass away and said coldly, "Drink it yourself. My skin has been dry recently, so I can't drink too much."
The spilled liquor spilled all over Lin Leyang, but he had to restrain his temper and said warmly, "Then Sister Miao, you must pay more attention to your body. I'll drink this glass of wine, you can do whatever you want." All in one drink. But he made enough gestures, but Miao Muqing didn't even look at it, and walked towards Xiao Jiashu at the next table with a glass of red wine in his hand, with a bright smile on his face. She leaned down and leaned into Xiao Jiashu's ear to speak, Xiao Jiashu raised his glass and touched her, then took a sip. His attitude was not enthusiastic, and he even gradually showed an impatient look. She seemed to feel it, and after a few more words, she walked away angrily and talked to several investors.
Lin Leyang looked at this scene as if he was looking at a mirror, but the roles of himself and Miao Muqing were switched. He suddenly felt very injustice, and there was a vague sense of resentment that had nowhere to vent. This resentment caused his eyes to turn red. But he soon saw Ji Mian striding in. He was so handsome, so elegant, and he exuded an extraordinary aura, which was eye-catching. Miao Muqing, who was hooking up with investors everywhere, couldn't stand the temptation. He walked over to him, but was blocked by him raising his hand, with a very cold attitude.
Seeing this, Lin Leyang's full of resentment dissipated at once, and the corners of his mouth twitched quietly. It seemed that he had a good heart, and Ji Mian also looked at him with tenderness in his eyes. He walked to the second table unhurriedly, and said in a low voice, "Come on, I'll show you around and meet a few seniors."
"Okay, thank you Brother Ji." Lin Leyang picked up the wine glass and followed behind him. He seemed restrained, but he was actually trying to hold back his laughter. If these people knew that Ji Mian was their lover, what kind of expressions would they show? You must be so frightened that your eyes pop out of your sockets, right? The more Lin Leyang thought about it, the happier he almost laughed.
Ji Mian glanced back at him, her expression showing helplessness and doting.
When other actors were busy expanding their contacts, Xiao Jiashu had already eaten and drank and left. Anyway, he doesn't intend to mix in this circle, it really doesn't matter if he is not well-connected.
---
The next day, the crew of "The Apostle" officially started, and the director deliberately concentrated the less difficult scenes on this day to avoid too many NGs that would bring bad luck.
Xiao Jiashu stood on the periphery holding a cup of coffee, with a casual look on his face. Huang Zijin pointed to the venue being filmed and said, "Look, that's the main camera, which shoots the panorama, and that's the sub-camera, which shoots close-ups. You have to walk over there and stand by the wall. , it takes only a few cameras to capture your expression. This is your position. If you can't move well, no matter how good your acting skills are, you will be empty because you can't find your person on the screen. Also, you have to pay attention to the lighting when you are standing. Which way to hit, try not to let yourself be backlit…”
Huang Zijin demonstrated while pointing, and finally comforted, "Don't be nervous, this scene is very simple, you can shoot it well."
Xiao Jiashu's IQ was not low, and he was taught by hand, so he naturally learned it quickly, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Jin, I understand." Let's talk about family affairs and business affairs? It's totally possible to act as a character.
When he was complacent, Fang Kun, who was standing not far away, shook his head and said, "I've never seen an artist who asked a teacher to teach on the spot when he was acting. Master Xiao is really unique."
Ji Mian smiled and said nothing. Lin Leyang looked at Xiao Jiashu, full of envy. He is not a professional, and he has to learn while filming, but he does not have the conditions like Xiao Jiashu, and he can only ask the star maker to give pointers on the spot, and he can only rely on his own efforts. In the future, I will be more diligent on the set, have a good relationship with the director and several assistant directors, watch more, ask more, and study more, and naturally I will learn a lot. Thinking like this, his slight imbalance disappeared, leaving only a firm belief.
Ji Mian patted him on the shoulder at this moment, and said with a chuckle, "Do you think that Huang Zijin is better or I am better in terms of acting?"
"Of course Brother Ji is amazing." Lin Leyang looked adored.
"Xiao Jiashu has Huang Zijin as a teacher, you have me, there is nothing to envy." Ji Mian rubbed her little boyfriend's forehead.
Lin Leyang didn't expect Ji Mian to see his careful thoughts. His cheeks couldn't help but blushed. He murmured for a long time before whispering, "Thank you, Brother Ji. In the future, if there is something you don't understand, please teach me more." People, he didn't dare to show his love, lest he would implicate Ji Mian. How could Ji Mian be so good, so good that he couldn't describe it!
"OK, this is over, Xiao Jiashu and Ji Mian are ready to play!" Director Luo's loud voice interrupted this warm and moving moment, which also made Fang Kun secretly relieved. It's clear that they can't behave intimately, so why can't these two people hold back? He immediately pushed Ji Mian forward and urged, "Go, go, and experience Young Master Xiao's acting skills." If he really had that thing.
"You're back? Go back to the room to change clothes. Your father and your brother were talking in the study, and I told them you went to the concert with your friends." She waved her hands without raising her head.
"Mom, what are you looking at?" Xiao Jiashu squeezed to Xue Miao's side and sat down, and found that she was updating the official website of "SUPER New Voice". The homepage was the photo of Li Jiaer when she won the championship.
