The impact that man brings is always huge.
What's more, his own account and the official blog account of the newly registered film and television company were deceived all because of Xue Xiao...
For netizens, this is a sleepless night of passionate eating.
For Xue Xiao...
When he woke up the next day, he saw the editor's crazy bombing in Penguin in the middle of the night yesterday.
This editor is a girl who is addicted to the second dimension and usually doesn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry.
Maybe she called him "Yozhu" so much that she forgot that the name on Yaozhu's ID card was "Xue Xiao". Therefore, when Xue Xiao was trending in the past, she had no reaction. Xue Xiao guessed that she simply He didn't click in to take a look, and naturally he didn't think about claiming it himself...
Until last night, his pen name changed.
"????"
As a result, more and more people are surprised by Xue Xiao's literary skills.
The editor didn't respond immediately, probably to catch up on his sleep.
Some people doubted: "Science fiction is not that easy to write. Stars can just write autobiographies. Touching some advanced subjects will only expose one's ignorance."
Xue Xiao's Weibo followers skyrocketed, reaching five million, and the number continues to rise unstoppably.
The man's name is Xu Shen, who is twenty-seven years old. Like Xue Xiao and the others, he is a bit player and his performance has been very stable before.
However, some netizens bought the genuine electronic version of this book overnight, and after reading it, they said it was good, very good! This is simply a treasure novel, okay? !
In the afternoon, sixteen students received the notice and ran to Building 3 to have meetings with their respective instructors.
This is the first time that Xue Xiao published a science fiction novel in silence.
When Shen Tingyan came in, Xu Shen and You Qianqian were already familiar with Xue Xiao. They were teasing Xue Xiao about yesterday's turmoil together with Chang Yun and Dou Mingjian, making Xue Xiao's face turn red.
Although Lao Gao has not revealed to any of them how to advance from the fourth round to the fifth round, it is certain that only four students will advance to the fifth round finals.
I have finally waited for this day...!
Shen Tingyan became his mentor!
As soon as Shen Tingyan sat down in front of the podium, he met Xue Xiao's eyes like small light bulbs.
The girl's name is You Qianqian, she is 21 years old and has just graduated from the drama school. Different from the young and astringent with working experience, her acting style is very open and close, and she can handle almost any kind of drama.
When Shen Tingyan faced the students, he always called Lao Gao Gao Dao.
This netizen usually likes to do some reading and sharing, and has accumulated more than 200,000 fans.
Seeing him, the four of them suddenly stopped talking and looked at their noses and minds.
His Weibo post quickly became popular, and more and more netizens switched from "talking about the book without even reading it" to "silently looking for the electronic version." Some netizens even complained about the pirated version after seeing it. After the discovery, the entire network criticized a wave of piracy and promoted several genuine reading platforms...
Except for a few people who are discussing how subtle Shen Tingyan's two voices for Xue Xiao are - yes, it was Yan Xiao and Yan Yan - most of them are discussing Xue Xiao's book.
I really find it a bit ridiculous when I see some people saying that celebrities shouldn’t touch advanced subjects. Nowadays, everything can be despised and a sense of superiority can be created, right? Did you get high without even looking at it? I’ll leave it at that. I would definitely give Xue Xiao a perfect five points for this book, and his writing style is also really good..."
The inventory being cleared is actually not a particularly exaggerated thing, at least for Xue Xiao. After all, the first printing of his book was very low...
"Damn it, our editor-in-chief called me in the middle of the night to confirm your information. I was so stupid!"
After Shen Tingyan made his public statement last night, public opinion on the Internet completely changed.
"You want to be an actor???"
Xue Xiao replied after washing up.
In addition to Dou Mingjian and Chang Yun, Xue Xiao and his group were a man and a woman.
"I usually see a lot of Jiuluoyu, but suddenly I found that the actor I like is so educated, and I was a little confused."
*
The next day, the eliminated students packed their luggage and left the camp one after another, and the dormitories with few people were merged again.
It is not unprecedented for celebrities to publish books, but most celebrities publish autobiographies or chicken soup. It is not known how many of them are written by themselves and how many are ghostwritten.
The last one was sent by her an hour ago: "... Your book was sold out by several partners in the middle of last night. The editor-in-chief wants to do a reprint. You woke up and saw the message and replied Suddenly raised [with tears in eyes]"
"Xiaoxiao won't write books anymore?! What a pity QAQ"
"It can be seen that Xue Xiao only regards writing as a hobby. Although it may be a pity to never see his other works again, I think it is good to have such a bookish actor in domestic entertainment."
Then, he calmed down and started explaining the business.
"Oh my God, you have changed so much from before!!"
"I have been a bookworm for more than ten years. I read traditional literature on the Internet and also like science fiction novels. Xue Xiao's book is not really hard-core, but it is very imaginative. It is really very big. I can read it all. I was stunned.
The little lightbulb flickered, sending out mixed rays of expectation, excitement, admiration, etc. to him.
"Holy shit, are you so good at acting? Can I ask you for an autograph with your real name??"
You Qianqian was shocked: "Only four?"
The fourth round is a very special round.
A smile appeared in Shen Tingyan's eyes.
And Xue Xiao was refreshed and radiant.
This series of passionate messages lasted until three o'clock in the morning.
Dou Mingjian was also a little surprised: "Then will four people perform one play? Or..."
"What Director Gao means is that the four selected students will work one-on-one with our four instructors."
"The final is a film and television creation. We will prepare original scripts and take our respective students out of the camp to shoot."
You Qianqian and the others took a deep breath.
Xue Xiao clasped his hands - that is to say, the four finalists will each have an original, film-based one-person play.
They will carry the beam, carry the entire story, and have a head-on collision.
"As for the rules by which the mentor and the four students will be matched, Director Gao has not disclosed it yet," Shen Tingyan said calmly, "What I want to tell you is that for most of you, the fourth This round is the last round, I hope you will cherish the opportunity and go all out.”
The rules are very cold, and Shen Tingyan's words are very straightforward.
The atmosphere became solemn, and Xue Xiao and the others nodded solemnly.
After talking about the finals, Shen Tingyan's words returned to the fourth round they were about to face.
"In the fourth round of the competition, the program team also asked for originality. They did not limit the number of plays in each group, so I prepared two scripts at the beginning."
Everyone was stunned.
Shen Tingyan said calmly: "One script has two characters, and one script has three characters. I will not favor anyone. The five of you have equal roles and equal opportunities. Who can advance to the finals depends on you?" "
You Qianqian and the others' hearts were beating fast.
To be honest, before Shen Tingyan stepped into this classroom today, they were mentally prepared for Xue Xiao to become the protagonist.
Not only because Shen Tingyan obviously admires Xue Xiao more, but also because of Xue Xiao's achievements and strength, whichever group he joins, he should be the one that the instructor values the most.
The entertainment industry is cruel, and this game is also cruel. Everyone who wants to enter the game must respect the rules of the game.
However, Shen Tingyan said so bluntly that he would not have any bias...
Xue Xiao felt quite embarrassed when she heard Shen Tingyan's words.
It's not that I feel embarrassed, but... has the relationship between him and Shen Tingyan reached a point where it needs to be explained separately to show fairness...
Chang Yun and Dou Mingjian on both sides laughed furtively. Xue Xiao lowered his head, and the tips of his ears exposed from his black hair were bright red.
Shen Tingyan chuckled and asked, "Is it okay?"
"no problem!"
"Of course we have no problem!"
Xue Xiao quietly raised his eyes, met Shen Tingyan's eyes, and immediately shook his head like a rattle!
This is the last performance for most people, and he also hopes that a few friends can get full opportunities to show off.
Because the specific team members were only decided yesterday, Shen Tingyan's two scripts still need to be adjusted and modified by the screenwriters accordingly. As the program progresses, some students began to receive notices that they would leave the camp for the next two days. For this reason, the program team specially extended the preparation time for the fourth round to two weeks, so Shen Tingyan simply scheduled the first rehearsal for five days.
After everything was explained, a group of them received the notice to record and prepare for the collection.
Xue Xiao asked the other four to go first, and he took the initiative to stay and help reset the tables and chairs in the classroom.
In July, the temperature in this southern city has further increased, and the highest temperature in the past two days has exceeded 40.
Seeing Shen Tingyan helping him, Xue Xiao glanced worriedly and said, "Teacher Shen, you'd better sit back and let me do it..."
Shen Tingyan laughed when he heard this.
Only the two of them were left, and his tone became casual: "There are only a few stools, are you still afraid that I will faint from the heat if I move it? Xue Xiao, do you treat me like paper?"
Of course that is not possible.
Not only is Shen Tingyan not just a piece of paper, he also has an extremely good figure.
Xue Xiao's gaze subconsciously swept over the man's solid shoulders and back, and he felt his face getting even hotter...
Obviously he never paid attention to the figure of the same sex before... Xue Xiao thought with shame, he is really gay now...
After closing the classroom door and walking into the corridor, Shen Tingyan suddenly mentioned something: "People watching movies and entertainment may come to contact you in the past two days."
Movie-watching entertainment
Xue Xiao suddenly remembered that this was the artist management company owned by Guantian.
That's right, it's almost time to sign someone.
He was lost in thought, but he heard Shen Tingyan say: "If they find you, don't rush to agree."
Xue Xiao was slightly startled.
They walked to the elevator. Shen Tingyan pressed the down button, put his hands in his pockets, and said, "With your current popularity, there will never be only one agency that wants to sign a contract with you."
The man turned his face sideways, looked at him, and said softly: "Remember to choose carefully before making a decision."
Xue Xiao didn't think much about Shen Tingyan's words. He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Teacher Shen."
After finishing speaking, Shen Tingyan's eyes still stayed on him.
This gaze is gentle and casual, but also long-lasting and focused.
Xue Xiao pretended not to feel it at first, but his gaze lingered for a little too long, and he shyly cast a questioning look. Shen Tingyan remembered what he said to Fang Lei yesterday and rubbed it with his fingers in his trouser pocket.
I want to chase him, but I can't because the game is still in progress.
If there is no stroke in the horoscope, it is bound to be impossible to draw that stroke.
He withdrew his eyes, looked forward, remained silent for a moment, and said very discreetly: "The competition has reached the final stage. Remember not to be distracted by other things and put all your attention on acting. Do you understand?"
Xue Xiao: "?"
He wondered blankly, what did "other things" mean
Shen Tingyan felt that his words were hypocritical and scheming, but he couldn't help it.
He glanced at Xue Xiao: "Don't you understand?"
Xue Xiao thought about it again and felt that this sentence was difficult to understand but not difficult to understand. "Other things" should generally refer to everything that would distract him...
So he nodded seriously: "I understand, don't worry, I will never think about anything else!"
Shen Tingyan induced again: "Well, including other people..."
Xue Xiao looked at Shen Tingyan, gritted his teeth and said, "Well, including 'other people'!" Never be blinded by love!
Teacher Shen was quite satisfied when he heard the reply: "Very good, good boy."
*
Shen Tingyan's prediction was accurate. The next day, Xue Xiao was called alone to a small conference room in Building 1.
A male agent from the Film and Entertainment Economics Department was waiting for him there.
The other party got straight to the point, saying that if Xue Xiao signed this agency contract, he would directly become the top brother of Movie Entertainment.
This sounds like pie-in-the-sky, but the manager said very bluntly that Movie Entertainment has only been established for a few years, and there are not many artists under it, and the quality of the professional actors among them is not very good.
This is also the reason why the bosses first considered doing a variety show like "Stars on Studio".
-Although it went astray at first and almost became a rubbish variety show that promoted rubbish actors, at the beginning, the bosses really focused on amateurs, extras, and extras.
Select outstanding little transparent actors, then use the popularity of the show to gain popularity, and finally sign them as your own.
The traffic has been harvested and the reserve army has been enriched. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.
With Xue Xiao's popularity, now that he has joined the company, he will definitely be the company's focus, and all resources will be tilted towards him.
The large-scale variety show that Guantian is preparing, the self-made drama that is being prepared... Xue Xiao has the opportunity to participate in all of them.
"You no longer have to go back to the film and television city to play small roles. It will only become more and more popular in the future."
"Of course, there will definitely be other companies that will contact you. We will not stop you, nor will we interfere with your next two rounds just because you choose to sign with other companies. The audience is watching."
The agent said objectively: "But you have to think clearly. Guantian's resources are all on the outside and are visible and tangible. We can even directly sign the next few resources into your account." In the contract, can other companies do it?”
"No matter how nice it sounds, a blank check is not as good as the contract you have now."
Xue Xiao listened very carefully, but he did not forget Shen Tingyan's reminder. He politely said: "Okay, thank you. Can I think about it before I reply?"
"Okay, once you've made your decision, contact me anytime."
After Xue Xiao returned to the dormitory, he inquired and found out that Chang Yun, Gu Ling, Zhao Dong, and Jin Xiaochen had all been called to talk.
Although not all of the remaining sixteen students who have not yet signed with the company will be contacted, the movie viewing is indeed coming in force.
Chang Yun picked at his feet and asked, "What do you mean, will you sign or not?"
Zhao Dong lay on the bed and closed his eyes to rest: "If no other company comes to contact me, then just sign. Then again, even if other companies come to contact me, it may not be as good as watching a movie."
Jin Xiaochen came to visit: "Well, if you go to watch a movie, at least you won't have to worry about not getting the notice, right?"
Zhao Dong: "That's not necessarily the case. If you really mess up after the show, you might just be able to earn a basic salary and then get a part-time job. Hey, it's a bit like college students accepting offers after graduation. Tasty."
Everyone laughed.
Dou Mingjian came to visit with Xiao Jin. When he found that he was a little silent, Xue Xiao asked doubtfully: "Brother Dou?"
Dou Mingjian came back to his senses and saw everyone looking over. He smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't been notified yet."
Jin Xiaochen said without thinking: "It's not your turn yet. I will definitely call you over tomorrow."
Dou Mingjian sighed: "I don't think there is much hope."
Zhao Dong sat up from the top bunk in confusion: "That shouldn't be the case. Your performance in competitions has been so good so far. How could I not sign you in the movie? Didn't Director Feng also say that he wanted to find a friend to sign you?"
Dou Mingjian shook his head.
Saying it is one thing, doing it is another thing. Dou Mingjian has never received any contact from anyone. He also knows that this is the case in this circle. Sometimes, you can't take other people's words too seriously.
Therefore, no matter how excited I was when I was affirmed on stage, my mind cooled down later.
"I am 45 years old this year. No matter how good my competition results are, in terms of future, young people will definitely have more room."
It's not that the audience only likes young handsome guys and beautiful girls. After all, many of their students are not following the path of idols at all.
And from a market perspective, the Uncle Series is also very popular.
However, there are still too few movies and TV dramas with high school students as the protagonists that have the potential to become popular.
Excellent scripts have long been snatched up by veteran-level middle school students. For someone like Dou Mingjian, who is only considered a "freshman" at the age of 45, how much effort does it take to get a chance
Appreciation from directors, producers, and investors is all metaphysics.
If you wait too long, the audience will forget about him.
Of course, it's not impossible to grab some supporting roles to maintain exposure, but once the competitiveness is not enough, the supporting roles of this age that can be grabbed are often the best... When the matching reaches a certain level, it is no different from a supporting role.
Then should Guanying be asked to create a script specifically for Dou Mingjian? It seems that it hasn't reached this level yet, at least they haven't considered it yet.
Therefore, from all aspects, although Dou Mingjian is very powerful, the return on investment of signing him is too low.
This market is fickle.
Countless netizens have criticized this, but changing this market is difficult and takes time.
Maybe I’m still considering watching the movie, but who knows.
There was silence in the dormitory.
After a while of silence, Xue Xiao broke the silence.
He said with certainty: "Currently, the audience has only seen the second round. There are still three rounds to come. I think there will be a chance, Brother Dou."
He said seriously and solemnly: "Someone will definitely want you."
Dou Mingjian raised the corners of his lips and rubbed his head: "I accept your good advice, smile."
Xue Xiao said those words not simply to comfort Dou Mingjian, but no matter what he thought, he didn't think Dou Mingjian would be buried like this.
As a result, his words came true faster than anyone imagined...
The next day, Xue Xiao received a WeChat message.
Only then did he suddenly realize what Shen Tingyan's reminder to him yesterday meant.
He reported to the program team with his heart pounding. When he opened the door to his dormitory, he bumped into Dou Mingjian who also opened the door and came out.
"Brother Dou...what a coincidence!"
"Yes, what a coincidence, smile!"
The two walked out of the camp gate together, talking and laughing.
"Brother Dou, are you going out too?"
"Yeah, where are you going?"
"The place I want to go is quite close, just walk there and go there."
"Me too, what a coincidence. Let's go together."
The two of them crossed the road together, passed by a large shopping mall, and continued eastward. As the route got farther and farther, the two of them felt more and more something was wrong.
"Our paths really overlap, hahaha..."
"Well, yes..."
Finally, they entered the same coffee shop.
Xue Xiao glanced at his phone: "Brother Dou, I should go to table 10..."
Dou Mingjian had just finished reading the messages on his mobile phone: "What a coincidence, so am I..."
Not far away, at table 10 by the window, Fang Lei stood up and waved his little hands cheerfully towards them.
Xue Xiao and Dou Mingjian looked at each other, dumbfounded, and said in unison:
"—So you were also called out to negotiate the contract?"
*
Fang Lei ordered a cup of iced coffee for each of them. After sitting down, he said, "It's hot today. It's hard work for you to travel all the way."
Xue Xiao and Dou Mingjian immediately said politely that it’s not hard, it’s not hard.
Fang Lei naturally represents Shen Tingyan Studio. He said, "I guess Guanxing must have told you that any resources can be written on the contract."
Looking at Xue Xiao's expression, Fang Lei knew that he had guessed correctly.
He chuckled and said: "I understand their routines. I can also write these contents, but this kind of agreement is actually meaningless. The period after the game is definitely the time when you have the most resources. If you even have the most resources at this time, If I don’t feed you, then why should I sign you? No matter how nice Guanxing’s words are, they won’t be able to promise you resources after one year. In the end, it still depends on your personal development.”
Xue Xiao actually considered this yesterday.
"But it's also because there are artists on Guanxing who have to compete with you. Even if there are fewer artists on their side and no matter how poor their quality is, they can't really put all their energy into you all the time. Our side It’s different.”
"Your boss -" Fang Lei spoke so smoothly that he coughed after speaking, "If you are willing to sign - where is your future boss? He has no plans to sign other artists for the time being. There are only two of you in the studio. , then as long as he is still in the film and television industry, you will not have to worry about not having any filming. "
Compared to Stargazing Entertainment, the competitive pressure on Shen Tingyan's studio is definitely less.
Xue Xiao and Dou Mingjian have different development paths, and there is no need to worry about competing with each other.
Not to mention…
Their boss is Shen Tingyan.
This man seems to be careless about everything, but he is by no means a speculator. He is serious about acting, and naturally he is also serious about his artists.
Fang Lei talked a lot and said: "... You can go back and think about it carefully, but it is best to make a decision as soon as possible. There should be various resources approaching you recently. You have no experience yourself, so it will be very troublesome to deal with it."
