Best star

Chapter 6

On the third day after the audition, Xu Qingmiao saw a piece of news on the Internet that the son of a certain congressman was arrested and imprisoned for gathering a crowd to take drugs.Although the photo is not particularly clear, Xu Qingmiao still recognizes that the photo shows the brunette youth who troubled him on the day of the audition and scolded a lot of nasty brunettes when he was taken away by the security guards.

The son of a member of Parliament?Will it be so easy to be arrested?And why was he not arrested sooner or later, but he was arrested at this time, if it was not a coincidence, then the strength of Mu's Group was greater than he imagined.

Xu Qingmiao looked at the detailed news again, mainly talking about the congressman's political opponents, and something happened because of this incident. Just as he was about to read on, the phone rang.

"Hello, who is it?"

"it's me."

Xu Qingmiao was stunned for a moment, "Director Mu?"

"Well, I want to inform you that you passed the audition."

"Really? Thank you, Director Mu." Xu Qingmiao did not expect that Mu Feng would personally call to inform him that he had passed the audition.

"But there is a requirement, you have to do it before shooting."

"any request?"

"When filming, you have to be [-] pounds thinner than you are now."

"When will filming start?"

"The role you played will not be filmed until two months later at the earliest."

Now he only needs to lose another five or six catties, and he can reach the standard weight that matches his height. If he loses another twenty catties, he will look a little thin, but it will not have much impact on his health. It's a big deal and I'll make it up after the filming is over.

After thinking quickly, Xu Qingmiao replied, "I can do it."

"Well, I believe that. After all, losing weight is your strong point." Mu Feng's tone was a little smiling.

"..." This was obviously a joke, and he wouldn't be so foolish as to think it was a compliment.

"In a few days, I will arrange for someone to talk to you about signing the contract, and you should also make preparations." Mu Feng said.

"it is good."

"You have nothing else to say to me?"

"No, thank you Director Mu."

"that's it?"

"...Thank you, Uncle Mu."

"good."

Xu Qingmiao looked at the phone and was speechless for a while. She didn't understand why Mu Feng liked to take advantage of him in terms of seniority. If he wanted to, people who rushed to call him grandpa, let alone calling him uncle, would be able to queue up.

Xu Qingmiao's contract with the current brokerage company has not yet expired, so he definitely cannot sign the contract privately. Mu Feng should also know about this, so he was given a few days to prepare.

He called Yang Lei and told him about the signing. At first Yang Lei thought he had heard it wrong, but Xu Qingmiao explained it to him twice before he believed what he heard.

After Yang Lei told his sister about Xu Qingmiao passing the audition, he immediately put down his work and flew to Country A the next day to help Xu Qingmiao negotiate the contract.

Xu Qingmiao went to pick him up at the airport, but Yang Lei didn't dare to recognize him when he came out. Although he had seen the photos of Xu Qingmiao's weight loss on the Internet, he was still shocked when he confirmed it with his own eyes. How long has it been, just like before It's completely different, like a different person.

Until the two returned to the place where Xu Qingmiao lived, Yang Lei still felt that the person in front of him was a little unreal.

Seeing him, Xu Qingmiao glanced at herself from time to time, and said with a smile, "Why do you keep looking at me, don't you think I'm a fake?"

"I just feel that you are different from before, not only different from when you were fat, but also different from when you were a child, and your temperament has completely changed." Yang Lei said.

Yang Lei has known Xu Qingmiao for many years, and naturally knows him well. Although from his current facial features, he can still see what he looked like when he was fat and when he was a child, but his temperament is completely different.

Xu Qingmiao was a little bit guilty, but still said as a matter of course, "Isn't this nonsense? Not only have I become thinner, but I have also grown up. Of course, it is different from when I was fat and when I was young."

Yang Lei had been on the plane for more than [-] hours, Xu Qingmiao asked him to take a rest, and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner by himself.

Yang Lei actually didn't feel that tired, but because he was curious about Xu Qingmiao's current cooking skills, he didn't plan to intervene in preparing dinner. After visiting the place where he lives now, he sat in the restaurant and chatted with him.

"It's a good house for you to rent. It also has a swimming pool. Doesn't it cost a lot of money a year?" Yang Lei looked at the front and back just now. A small two-story building has a front and back yard, although the total area is not particularly large. , but the design and decoration are quite high-grade, and the surrounding environment is also very good.

"It's quite expensive, but I still have some money on hand, and the rent is still affordable." He took out all the money that belonged to him before he was reborn. When he was still Chu Ming, his parents left him a lot. Therefore, although the cost of living in country A is high, he can afford it.

If it was before, Yang Lei would definitely persuade him to save some money. After all, Xu Qingmiao could no longer survive in the entertainment industry, but he was not good at doing other things. He definitely didn't earn much from ordinary jobs, but now he doesn't Same thing, Xu Qingmiao not only lost weight, but also passed the audition for a movie directed by Mu Feng, which proves that he can at least continue in this line of work.

Xu Qingmiao brought the finished dishes to the table, including cold shredded chicken, winter melon balls and fresh shrimp soup, steamed tofu with minced meat, braised fish in soy sauce, and two refreshing side dishes.

Yang Lei saw a few dishes that looked pretty good, and couldn't wait to try a few mouthfuls, his eyes widened immediately, the taste was actually really good.

"Sure enough, people will treat each other with admiration for three days. The ancients do not deceive me. It is incredible that you, a person who can't even cook tomatoes and scrambled eggs, can cook this table decently." Yang Lei I saw the photos of the dishes he posted on the Internet before, and had a serious discussion with his sister Yang Qin, thinking that it is unlikely that he made them himself.

Seeing Yang Lei's moved face, Xu Qingmiao asked amusedly and helplessly, "What's your expression?"

"I used to cook for you. I never imagined that I would still be able to eat your dishes." Yang Lei recalled that Xu Qingmiao, a producer of many TV stations, was doing the show. Many producers want to ask you to do food and weight loss programs. They are not just a guest for one or two episodes, but tailor-made programs for you. They say that they have even found sponsors, and they are all big brands. The price I will offer you will certainly not be low, with your current level, it is no problem to go on a show, cook a meal, and talk about weight loss."

"Let's talk about these things after I return to China." Xu Qingmiao has no interest in doing variety shows, and does not intend to end his study and life here early. Anyway, he only plans to return to China after staying here for a year. His ambition, his dream, and his hatred will all be officially unfolded after returning to China.

Yang Lei stayed at Xu Qingmiao's residence for a few days, and helped Xu Qingmiao complete the contract with the people sent by Mu Feng. Xu Qingmiao was playing a supporting role. There were not many shots and the shooting time was not long, so the content of the contract was not too complicated.It's just that there were a few special requirements in the contract. After consulting his sister and Xu Qingmiao himself, there was no problem, and the signing was completed quickly.

In the past few days, Yang Lei witnessed the changes in Xu Qingmiao's daily routine, and also understood why he lost weight so quickly.

Xu Qingmiao gets up at 06:30 every day, goes out for an hour of jogging, and then comes back to eat breakfast. After a short rest, he will go to school if there is a class, and read books for one to two hours if there is no class, and then go to the gym for a long time. Exercise until lunch.He usually stays in the study in the afternoon, and will come out to swim in the swimming pool for half an hour every hour.He doesn't do strenuous exercise at night, he reads books or writes on the computer, but one or two hours before going to bed, he starts to do yoga, saying that it is good for the body and helps sleep.

Xu Qingmiao is not like other people who only eat fruits and vegetables in order to lose weight. There is always a lot of meat on the table every day, but they are all low-fat and high-protein meats, and the methods are mainly light and healthy.

After Yang Lei and his sister reported the signing of the contract on the phone, they went to the study to find Xu Qingmiao, and told him that he was going back to China tomorrow. The matter here was over, and he had to wait two months before Xu Qingmiao started to join the filming team. come over.

The door of the study room was not closed, it was just open. Xu Qingmiao was standing in front of the desk by the window and writing with a brush. Yang Lei originally wanted to knock on the door to remind him, but stopped because of this scene.

The afternoon sun shone in from the window and fell on Xu Qingmiao's body, making his delicate face look more ethereal and handsome, with a bit of a worldly fairy's aura. The whole atmosphere was like a beautiful picture scroll, which made his People can't bear to destroy.

In the end, Yang Lei didn't enter the study to disturb him, but waited until dinner time to tell him that he was going back to China tomorrow, and that he would come back to accompany him in the filming after two months.

"It's very difficult for newcomers nowadays. They are all signed into the company by related households. They are nothing. They are full of celebrity airs." Talking about the work after returning, Yang Lei couldn't help talking to Xu Qingmiao. Complaining, the artist he brought before has switched to another company, and now he is leading two newcomers.

Strictly speaking, Yang Lei never really took care of Xu Qingmiao before. When Xu Qingmiao was the most popular, it was Yang Qin who took care of him. Later, Yang Qin became the artist director, and another manager of the company brought him. Since then , Xu Qingmiao's acting career began to decline. It was not until he became fat due to depression and could not receive any notices that he was assigned to Yang Lei.

"Since you are a related household, you have a background. It shouldn't be difficult to make an announcement in a show, right?" Xu Qingmiao knows that the entertainment industry is highly competitive and pressured, and few people want to be popular, but this road is not easy. It's not easy to walk, just like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, if you have a background and a backing, it will be smoother than ordinary people.

Yang Lei curled his lips in disdain, "I'm just a relationship in the company. With that little background, I'm nothing outside the company. Otherwise, I don't need to send them information everywhere to ask for announcements. Now whether it's accepting dramas or appearing on variety shows, No popularity, no fan base, no one is willing to find you, drama is better, some third-rate crews that well-known artists don’t want to go, they can only find newcomers, first-class crews can also act in groups Special, what's the point of being familiar with soy sauce by the protagonist's side, but it won't be popular until that month?"

Yang Lei took a bite and continued to say, "Let's not talk about variety shows. They invite either Internet celebrities or big names with topics and hot topics. There are no topics and no new works. They don't even invite big names, let alone they don't even have a fan base. newcomer."

"You can act in Director Mu's play this time, and it will be an international blockbuster. This topic will definitely last for a long time."

Xu Qingmiao said, "Don't let the news out beforehand. If my part is cut, it will be a big embarrassment. At that time, the hot spot will still be the hot spot, but it will be the hot spot that is ridiculed by netizens."

"I know this. My sister has already reminded me. Not many people even know about this. If your part has not been reduced, after the movie is released in China, I can imagine that my phone will be taken by those who produced it. The scene where the person and the director exploded. Since I brought in two newcomers, just because I begged my grandpa to tell my grandma everywhere, I can finally enjoy the feeling of being queued up to find you. Now there are quite a lot of producers looking for you to be a show Yes, you really don't think about it? Don't talk about doing shows now, being a guest is quite difficult, I think you are in a good state now, you can go back to China first, and come back after the filming starts."

Xu Qingmiao shook his head, he is not interested in doing variety shows at all, he only wants to act, and only wants to play the role he wants to play, he knows it is difficult, but he will use 12 points of effort to do it.
