Poetry Against the Current [Entertainment]

Li Shuangyue is in her early forties this year. She comes from an ordinary family. She is of ordinary height and appearance.The only thing that is different from ordinary people is that she has a strong desire for money and a very sensitive sense of smell for money.

Since she was a child, she learned business from her father who was a peddler. At the age of 19, she set up a new business, wholesaled small commodities from Yiwu, and resold them in the north. After going back and forth for several years, she earned her first sum of money.Afterwards, she switched to the furniture business and owned her own listed company in just ten years.After accumulating enough capital, she extended her tentacles into the entertainment industry and established Shuangyue Liuguang Film and Television Company, in an attempt to get a share of this entertainment-oriented era.

She had a few artists under her command, and they stagnated after reaching the third and fourth tiers.Li Shuangyue thinks that the talent of an artist is limited, she is impatient with setbacks, and can't keep going. After having a few fans adoring her, she gets carried away and wants to become independent.

Those who are obedient are not popular, and those who are popular are not obedient.Among the artists under her banner, there is a good seedling named Xu Haifeng, who has a good appearance and is very popular.It's just that this person has a good family background, he is a middle-aged rich second generation, he just entered the entertainment circle for fun, and he didn't really follow the company's arrangements.Li Shuangyue didn't like to offend him, so she could only let his temper go.

Xu Haifeng pushes the announcements whenever he can. He never participates in reality shows and does not cooperate with the hype. He often travels abroad without saying hello, and disappears for at least three days at a time.In the eyes of fans, these are charms, but in the eyes of the boss, they are troubles.

Seeing that Xu Haifeng's contract with the company is about to expire, Li Shuangyue predicts that he will not renew the contract, and she must find a niche who can succeed him.

Tang Feng took his business card and sat by the window looking at the sky.The evening in mid-August began to feel cool, leaving behind the busy and steaming heat of the day, and having a bit of leisurely poetry.

Lin He sat on the edge of the bed and played the guitar tinkly.His family's conditions were better than Tang Feng's, and he didn't have to send all the money back every month, so he lived a more comfortable life than Tang Feng.He bought a guitar a year ago and followed courses on the Internet.He was talented and willing to work hard, his fingers were blistered by the strings, and gradually he was able to play a lot of folk songs.

Lin He plucked the strings, played "Baby", and sang along softly.His voice is very gentle, which makes people feel comfortable after hearing it.

Tang Feng closed his eyes, as if temporarily forgetting his embarrassing life.It's a pity that halfway through the song, the aunt downstairs smashed the ceiling with a mop, and said loudly: "There is no end! Let no one rest!"

Lin He had no choice but to put down the guitar.Tang Feng stood up with his slippers on, and looked around.In the hut less than [-] square meters, there are two steel wire beds side by side, and the sundries are piled up like a mountain.The table was a stool left by the previous tenant. The two of them squatted when eating, and the lunch box was placed on the stool.If the soup is leaked while eating in bed, there is no place to dry the sheets.

Lin He said: "Are you eating? There are steamed buns in the pot, let me see if the porridge is ready."

He lifted the lid of the pot and filled two bowls of white rice porridge, tore open a packet of mustard greens and poured them on the plate, and handed Tang Feng a steamed bun.Tang Feng looked at him, but didn't answer.

Lin He was puzzled and asked, "Another dish?"

Tang Feng said: "Go out with me tomorrow."

Lin He said: "Where are you going? There is still work tomorrow, so let's go in the evening. Or I will go with you now."

Tang Feng said: "Take a shower tonight, and come with me for an interview tomorrow."

Lin He was stunned and said: "You want to change jobs? It's pretty good here, and you can still pay your salary."

Tang Feng said: "What's the difference between one year and ten years of this shitty job? We're already at the bottom, where can we go? Go out with my brother, maybe we can make a difference."

Lin He saw the business card in his hand and understood what he meant.He smiled and said, "Do you want to be a star?"

When Tang Feng heard the word "star", he also felt that he was too far behind.He sat by the bed and didn't speak for a long time.Lin He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then go and try."

Early the next morning, the two packed up and went to Shuangyue Liuguang Film and Television Company for an interview.

The company is located in the outskirts of the city. The building has eight floors and is Li Shuangyue's own property.There is a small square in front of the building, and the security guards are very strict. Entry and exit must be registered, which means that strangers should not approach.There is a small white three-story building on the back side of the square, which is the dormitory for students and employees.

The interior decoration of the office building is quite luxurious, with gray and black glass revolving doors, a marble foyer, the main color is white, and there is a fountain just to the north.Tang Feng looked at the floor plan in the hall, and learned that the basement floor was the gym, and above it were rehearsal rooms, classrooms and offices.

The lady at the front desk called inside, got a reply, and led the two of them to the rehearsal room.

The two sat on the sofa, and the receptionist poured lemonade for them, but neither of them was in the mood to drink it.Lin He took off his guitar and put it on the sofa, feeling a little embarrassed.The front desk lady comforted: "Don't be nervous, our general manager is very nice."

Li Shuangyue walked in with a man in his early thirties.The two stood up quickly, Li Shuangyue shook hands with them with a smile, and said, "You are finally here. Let me introduce, this is Fu Jiangbo, the administrative director of the company, and a veteran."

The two shook hands with Fu Jiangbo, and they knew each other.Li Shuangyue said: "Come back to business. The two of you are here for an interview today. Let me see what specialties you have. Who will come first?"

Tang Feng looked at Lin He, Lin He was a little hesitant.Tang Feng said: "I'll come."

Li Shuangyue sat on a high-backed chair, looking down at the two of them, while Fu Jiangbo stood aside.Li Shuangyue stretched out her hand as a gesture of invitation.Tang Feng had no special skills, so he sang "Anhe Bridge".His voice is unmodified, casual and affectionate, which is very suitable for singing this kind of folk songs.

Li Shuangyue said: "Singing is mediocre, and the range is not wide. Fortunately, it doesn't go out of tune, has a lot of energy, and the voice is quite distinctive. If you can find a good teacher and get out, it's really over if you go out of tune."

Fu Jiangbo joked: "I'm not afraid of being out of tune, can't I still call Mai. 'One person, I'm drunk—'"

Lin He couldn't help laughing, Tang Feng said: "I really called out, I performed on stage at the company's annual meeting."

Li Shuangyue asked with interest: "How is the effect?"

Lin He smiled and said: "It's good, the house is full of cheers! He has a strong appeal!"

Tang Feng scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Li Shuangyue nodded and said, "Can you act? Acting."

Tang Feng said: "This will not."

Li Shuangyue smiled and said, "It's okay. Are you stage fright? Are you scared when you see people on stage? Are you excited?"

Tang Feng said: "I'm not afraid, I don't feel anything."

Li Shuangyue said: "That's good. Not having stage fright is the basic quality of a star. Some people feel guilty and short of breath when they go on stage, and their legs tremble. Can you dance? You can also do radio gymnastics."

Tang Feng pondered for a moment, remembering the military boxing he learned in high school physical education class, and gave Li Shuangyue a set.He took off his shirt and wore a tight vest on his upper body. His arms and back were full of muscles, and he punched vigorously. He really looked good.

Li Shuangyue and Fu Jiangbo looked at each other, both very satisfied.After a set of punches, Fu Jiangbo praised: "Very good. The movements are very powerful, and the eyes are also very explosive."

Li Shuangyue said with a smile: "If you can punch like this, you can find someone to teach you, and dancing should be no problem. Comrade Xiao Tang, you have been admitted."

These words are the unique tone of her era, with a simple and friendly atmosphere.Tang Feng's tense mood was relieved, and he grinned.

Lin He knew it was his turn, and stood up holding the guitar.He bowed cautiously to the two of them and said, "Hello, Teacher."

Li Shuangyue smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. What do you want to perform?"

Lin Hedao: "Let me sing "Chengdu"."

He sat on the stool, plucked the strings with his fingers, and played the prelude.

"It's not just the wine last night that made me shed tears; it's not just your tenderness that makes me reluctant to part..."

His singing is gentle and peaceful, with a soothing power.Li Shuangyue listened, nodded, and said to Fu Jiangbo: "This singing skill is better, you can try in this direction. But now that the Internet is impacting, the entire music industry is in a downturn. If you want to develop in the long run, you still have to move to the screen in the future. "

After Lin He finished playing a song, Li Shuangyue said with a smile: "You sing well. How about acting? Can you punch?"

Lin He was a little embarrassed, and said, "No."

Fu Jiangbo thought for a while, took a book and said, "Choose one and read it aloud."

Lin He flipped through the pages, and saw that they were all prose by famous writers.He turned to an article about Zhu Ziqing's back, cleared his throat, and began to read.

His voice is in good condition, full of emotion and just right, and he is able to introduce people's emotions into the scene.When he read the part where his father staggered over the fence, he thought of his father, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and his voice choked up.

Li Shuangyue said: "How old are you?"

Lin Hedao: "I'm nineteen, I came out last year."

Li Shuangyue was a little surprised, and said: "It's too early to come out, have you finished high school?"

Lin Hedao: "After several months of high school, I just got a graduation certificate and didn't take the college entrance examination. The family conditions are not good, so there is nothing I can do."

Li Shuangyue said: "You have a lot of emotions, make good use of this, you can develop in the future. Congratulations to both of you, you both passed the interview."

Lin He didn't expect that he could pass, and he was overjoyed.

Fu Jiangbo said: "Don't rush to be happy, this is just a preliminary test for selecting students. You go back and arrange your daily affairs, and move into the company's collective dormitory next Monday. There are [-] other students who are in the same period as you , After a month of training, the company will select five qualified artists as signed artists, and formally package and train them. During the training period, only board and lodging will be provided, without any subsidies. The competition is fierce, and please work hard.”

The two felt that it was acceptable, so they agreed.Tang Feng and Lin He left the rehearsal room.Fu Jiangbo said: "Mr. Li has sharp eyes, and the two boys he found are good. Especially that Tang Feng, who has strong physical and psychological qualities, and is masculine and handsome. Next, we will focus on observing whether he can endure Setbacks. If you are really obedient, focus on training."

Li Shuangyue said with a smile: "I'm a businessman, so I have a good eye. Tang Feng is indeed a good seedling. Although Lin He is kind, his character is too weak. This is a world where tigers and wolves are rampant. If he continues like this, even his survival will be a problem." , It’s too hard to figure it out.”

Fu Jiangbo said: "Young people, they always have to suffer some setbacks to grow up. How far they can go depends on themselves."
