Chen Xiao was finally forced to sign the contract for the second episode of "Take My Hand". When asked why, the debtor had no right to raise objections.
Zheng Jia carefully checked the contract, stuffed it into her briefcase with satisfaction, and turned her attention to another matter: "Have you decided which agency to sign with?"
Chen Xiao thought it was really hard to choose. In terms of strength and treatment, LE was definitely better. But his old club Shanghua in his previous life was also good, and he knew the rules there better.
Chen Xiao: "Let me think about it."
Zheng Jia didn't push Chen Xiao to come up with an answer: "Okay, then you think about it carefully, and let me know if you have an idea. Artist contracts are complicated, and no one will tell you to be careful of being cheated."
Although this uncle was a bit nagging, he was a nice person. Chen Xiao personally sent Zheng Jia to the door and, as a gesture of goodwill, gave her a boiled egg as breakfast.
"Take it and eat it on the way. You're welcome."
Chen Xiao waved goodbye and closed the door. He turned around, patted his sleepy face, sat back on the sofa, and stared at the two signed contracts on the table in deep thought.
You can not have it both ways.
Chen Xiao was somewhat curious about Le's new environment, but he didn't want to add too many variables. Besides, Shanghua's treatment was actually quite good, and there were not so many restrictions on artists.
Is it Le or Shanghua
Chen Xiao stretched out his hand in mid-air, trying to decide which side to land on. However, before he could make a decision, the phone beside him suddenly vibrated. He opened the screen and saw a message from Qi Yubai:
I heard that you accepted the program team’s invitation to record the second episode
Although Qi Yubai tried his best to act as if he was asking casually, he was young after all, so it was inevitable that he revealed some flaws.
Chen Xiao was inexplicably nervous about Qi Yubai's sudden affection. He was so narcissistic that he couldn't be stopped by eight horses. He thought to himself, could Qi Yubai be interested in him
Chen Xiao replied a little slowly: I heard that you also accepted the invitation
He is very well-informed about both news.
Qi Yubai took a while to reply, and his words revealed his aloofness: Well, it’s the company’s request, there’s nothing I can do about it.
This is not credible. Because of Qi Yubai's family background, he has more freedom to choose various live invitations than other artists. He participated in the first recording of the program purely because he didn't want to lose exposure to Jiang Long. Otherwise, if Qi Yubai really didn't want to record, the company couldn't do anything about it.
Not long after, Qi Yubai asked again: I heard that many brokerage companies want to sign you recently. Have you decided which one to choose
Chen Xiao had actually been puzzled by the sudden invitation from Le to sign a contract. Hearing this, he fell on the sofa, and an impossible guess emerged in his mind -
Could it be that Qi Yubai was helping behind the scenes
He replied tentatively: I haven't decided yet, which one do you think is better
Qi Yubai seemed to be testing him on purpose, and replied after three minutes: le, among all the internal agencies, his company has the strongest resources.
It’s Qi Yubai indeed!
Chen Xiao sat up from the sofa and wondered why Qi Yubai was suddenly so nice to him. Could it be that he really liked him
But he doesn't like men. If Qi Yubai was a pretty girl, he might try to pursue her.
Chen Xiao intuitively felt that he had encountered the biggest challenge of his single life. He had already begun to think about how to tell Qi Yubai politely that he didn't like men anymore, so as not to delay the relationship. However, just as he was thinking about typing two words, a shining diamond suddenly appeared in the air, stopping him.
The system said in a serious tone: Host, please
Chen Xiao was stunned: "Why?"
The system discovered that Chen Xiao always likes to play the reverse operation. Everyone is here to reduce the degree of blackness, but he likes to increase the degree of blackness: There is no reason, please trust my intuition as a system, and please cherish the degree of blackness you have worked so hard to reduce, okay
"… "
Chen Xiao thought so too. What if Qi Yubai was rejected by him and became angry and evil? Wouldn’t he be doomed
It's so annoying. I'm single and in my fifties. I finally get a romantic partner, but I can't accept it.
Chen Xiao thought for a long time, and finally replied to Qi Yubai ambiguously: Well, let me think about it.
This sentence was equivalent to tacit agreement in Qi Yubai's eyes. After all, LE has produced several gold medal-level actors and actresses in recent years, and the company's internal training of trainees is all internationally renowned teams, and the resources are recognized to be abundant.
As an amateur guest who had not received any systematic training, Chen Xiao suddenly received a signing invitation from LE, which was like a struggling student suddenly receiving an admission letter from Harvard Business School.
The ladder to heaven was right in front of him, and Chen Xiao could reach out and grab it. He had no reason to refuse, right
There was an agent named Xiao Da who didn't agree with this approach. He even regretted letting Qi Yubai record the dating show in the first place: "Why did you let the boss sign Chen Xiao?"
Qi Yubai paused after hearing this, then looked away and asked calmly, "He's very popular recently, and signing him will also be good for the company, isn't it?"
Xiao Da curled his lips and said, "There are so many people who became famous overnight in the entertainment industry. There are at least 50 if not 100. How many of them can remain popular forever? Those amateurs can neither sing nor dance, and they have no professional skills. Once their popularity is exhausted, they will be useless."
He gave an example: "For example, Chen Xiao, he is now famous for his criticism of others in variety shows. Will he continue to criticize others after entering the entertainment industry?"
This is obviously impossible.
Qi Yubai disagreed. He felt that Chen Xiao still had many development paths: "He has a good figure, so he can be a print model. He also has a nice face, so he can act in idol dramas?"
Xiaoda: “…”
You can never wake up someone who's trying to pretend to be asleep.
Chen Xiao has all the skills needed for singing, dancing and acting. There is no doubt that the entertainment industry is the most suitable job for him. After much deliberation, he finally chose his old company, Shanghua. The rules for artists are too strict and it is obviously not suitable for him.
Of course, the most important reason is to avoid Qi Yubai.
Chen Xiao contacted Shanghua's agent Tong Yue and agreed to meet at a restaurant on Saturday afternoon.
"Mr. Chen, the company's top management thinks highly of your potential, and I have tried my best to give you the best treatment in the contract. If there is anything else that is not suitable, I will discuss it again. This is the content of the contract, you can take a look first."
Tong Yue is a veteran agent of Shanghua, about 30 years old. Although he does not look good, he does things flawlessly.
Chen Xiao and Tong Yue were old acquaintances in his previous life, so he knew that the other party was just being polite. He roughly looked through the contract and found that although the salary conditions could not be compared with the A-level contract, it was already good for a newcomer.
"Can."
Chen Xiao was now like a max-level player returning to the novice village, having to start over from his alt. He sighed inwardly, uncapped the pen, signed the contract directly, and then pushed the contract to Tong Yue in front of him with a confused expression: "Happy cooperation."
Tong Yue signed a contract so smoothly for the first time, and finished the contract in less than three minutes. He stuttered a little, which was rare: "Mr. Chen, can't you think about it carefully... I mean, this contract is legally binding, and you can't regret it after signing it."
Chen Xiao thought that he had signed it once in his previous life, so why waste time? "No, I believe in your company's sincerity."
Tong Yue didn't know for a moment whether Chen Xiao was too naive or too stupid. If he changed to an unscrupulous agency, he was afraid that he would be sold out and help others count money: "Then... do you have any other questions?"
Chen Xiao: “No, but if my career develops well later, I hope the contract can be upgraded automatically.”
Tong Yue looked at Chen Xiao in surprise, somewhat puzzled that he actually knew Shanghua's unspoken rules: "That's for sure. If your popularity and strength improve in the future, the company will upgrade your contract. Whether it's salary sharing or resource allocation, we will try our best to give you the best."
He didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked, "I heard from the company that you have accepted the invitation to record the second episode of the "Take My Hand" program. Is it true?"
Chen Xiao hummed: "The director said that the filming will start tomorrow morning, so time is a bit tight."
Tong Yue revealed an insider information: "In fact, the recording guest for the next episode of this program was booked a long time ago. He probably didn't expect you to be so popular, so he deliberately replaced you and Qi Yubai. The original process was disrupted, so of course the time is a bit tight."
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.
Tong Yue said: "The Take My Hand production team will probably announce the guest lineup for the next episode tonight. You are very popular right now, so you will probably be on the trending searches. If you have no objection, I want to strike while the iron is hot and announce on Weibo today that you have signed with Shanghua."
Tong Yue is worthy of being a veteran agent. He quickly made a series of arrangements to maximize Chen Xiao’s recently accumulated popularity advantage.
Chen Xiao glanced at Tong Yue and said, "I even bought press releases for you to hype up your CP."
Tong Yue: "Hype the CP? Who? Qi Yubai? His management team is very strict in this regard, so it's not suitable for hype the CP. This kind of thing can only be hyped up with two people working together, and one-sided hype will only get you a loss."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that Qi Yubai's company team seemed to have also accepted the invitation to record "Take My Hand". He looked at Chen Xiao strangely: "You..."
Shouldn't we really talk about it
Before Tong Yue finished speaking, Chen Xiao somehow got what he meant: "Of course not!"
Tong Yue said, "Oh!" He also felt that this was unlikely, so he reminded her, "You must remember that although the company does not explicitly prohibit artists from dating, if they are in a relationship, they must report it. Otherwise, if the marketing fails later, the company will not help you."
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment: "... Don't worry, I know."
He has been single for over fifty years and has rich experience in Shanghua Entertainment.
Recently, a cut video of Chen Xiao has gone viral on the Internet, and many netizens have left comments on the official blogs of various dating shows, reminding him not to miss this famous mudslide. The guest selection for the next episode of "Take My Hand" has also attracted great attention from netizens.
Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao! Program team, I hope you don’t be ungrateful, otherwise I will kneel down and beg you!
Please promise to invite Chen Xiao. I will be very unhappy if he is not here!
Xiaobai CP is here! His current popularity is enough for him to be a permanent guest!
There are so many comments like this that they have flooded the official comment area. Now netizens are more concerned about whether Chen Xiao and Qi Yubai can appear on the show again, and the other three pairs of guests are not getting much attention.
The program team was also very supportive, updating the official Weibo account at 6pm. In addition to the three new couples, they also invited the popular duo Chen Xiao and Qi Yubai to be permanent guests.
When CP fans saw the news, they were so happy that they wanted to set off fireworks to celebrate.
Mom! My favorite couple is together again!
Oh my god! Qi Yubai's management team actually took over the second recording! I guess this is real, right?
God gave Chen Xiao an idol face, but he just wanted to confront people
Jiang Long's fans passed by cursing, thinking what bad luck!
Just as netizens were hotly discussing this matter, Shanghua Entertainment followed suit and announced that Chen Xiao had signed a contract to become its artist, which caused a huge uproar.
Is Chen Xiao planning to enter the entertainment industry? !
Many netizens had this thought in their minds, and they looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. We have seen many people who became famous and signed contracts because of opportunities, but very few of them can really go on.
The entertainment industry is a big dye vat, and even the cleanest people will inevitably be stained by the color once they enter. Netizens were originally attracted by Chen Xiao's unpretentious personality, but when they heard that he had also signed a contract with an agency, they were shocked and a little disappointed.
No way, no way? The contract is signed right now
I originally thought Chen Xiao was a clean person, but I didn't expect that he would be seduced by the entertainment industry's decadent and glamorous life. Alas...
It’s not that easy to get into the entertainment industry. In the last episode, a male guest also signed a contract with an agency, but he became popular for three days and then disappeared. He has no talent or acting skills, and now he is a live broadcaster selling sanitary napkins.
Why do people nowadays like to get into the entertainment industry? Chen Xiao doesn't think it's really that easy to get into the entertainment industry. If he fails, he will cry.
Most netizens are opposed to Chen Xiao's signing, while a small number remain neutral.
Everyone has their own path. To be honest, if another agency wanted to sign me, I would also be willing, so there is no need to interfere with his choice.
Wow! Then I can see Chen Xiao every day!
Although I don't quite agree with this path, I still have to respect it and hope there won't be any accidents in the future.
In a nutshell, artists who graduate from professional schools may not necessarily make it in the entertainment industry. An amateur like Chen Xiao who has not even received professional training will most likely be trained to become an assembly line internet celebrity after signing a contract.
There is no other reason, there are just too many examples of cars being used as warnings.
Qi Yubai was also surprised when he heard the news, but not because Chen Xiao signed the contract, but because Chen Xiao signed with Shang Hua? !
Qi Yubai frowned imperceptibly and called Xiaoda to confirm the news: "Are you sure Chen Xiao has signed Shanghua? Didn't Le send him a contract invitation?"
Xiaoda was also somewhat helpless, "The company did send a contract invitation, but Chen Xiao declined."
Qi Yubai's tone was cold: "Did he tell me the reason?"
Xiaoda: “No.”
"… "
Qi Yubai hung up the phone directly. He threw his phone aside and sat in front of the computer, lost in thought, wondering why Chen Xiao didn't choose LE and went to Shanghua.
Is it because...
Jiang Long
Ding! Please note that the villain's blackening degree has risen to 32
One night back to Jiefang, this is how Chen Xiao feels now. He couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and was cooking noodles. When he heard this, his hands trembled and he almost cooked the plastic bag. He asked in surprise, "Why did the degree of darkness rise again?"
The system shrugged its nonexistent shoulders, indicating that it didn't know. It had never seen a host as bad as Chen Xiao. It finally managed to reduce some of his blackness, but he returned to his original form overnight.
For the first time, Chen Xiao found it difficult to be a human being. He scooped up the noodles cooked in the pot, then walked to the dining table with the bowl and sat down. He really couldn't figure out what he had done to cause Qi Yubai to become more evil. Was it because of the contract with Shanghua
#IQ suddenly online#
Chen Xiao didn't even have time to eat when he saw this. He quickly opened his phone and found that there was a huge uproar on the Internet about his contract, and even a large number of black fans emerged. They said that Chen Xiao was greedy for fame and fortune, unwilling to return to the life of an ordinary person, and wanted to be a big star.
The ignorant crowd was distracted and started to mock: You want to be a big star? Are you worthy? Can you sing? Can you dance? Can you act
Hmm? Yes.
Chen Xiao has been in the entertainment industry for so long, he has seen all kinds of bad things, this level is just a drop in the bucket. He continued to scroll down the Weibo comments, and found a famous netizen who wrote a sincere paragraph, saying that he really liked Chen Xiao's speech in the show that compared ordinary people and celebrities, and that's when he started to like him. Now he wants to ask:
Chen Xiao, I respect your choice, but can you tell your fans, did you enter the entertainment industry for popularity or for passion
Chen Xiao personally responded online:
To pay off debts.
