Inspiring people in the entertainment industry

Shao Dong has been procrastinating about renting a house. The location of cheap houses is too bad, and the rent of houses in good locations is heartbreaking.Shao Dong is not in a hurry, he is waiting for the royalties to come down, there is room for choice if he has more money.

Seeing Shao Dong's insistence, Wei Chen didn't persuade him much. Shao Dong had his own ideas and plans, and he could only understand and respect them.

Shao Dong is also very busy during this period, many people want to discuss cooperation with him, so he has to go to the city every day.Wei Chen gave Shao Dong the medicine key of the suite, and specially processed a pass for him.I bought a car for Shao Dong, but Shao Dong didn't want it. He said that taking the bus would reduce air pollution and that walking would help him exercise.

Every time I come home from get off work, as long as Shao Dong is there, I can have a hot meal, watch TV together after dinner, or lie in bed and chat without doing anything. This kind of life is very peaceful, which Wei Chen could not imagine before.

Gao Jun said that he is now a standard married person, returning home from get off work, and going out to report has no dignity at all for a man.Wei Chen just smiled, he would be lucky if he listened to his daughter-in-law, besides, Gao Jun could not eat grapes and said grapes were sour, Gao Jun is still playing in the flowers, flirting with flowers and waiting to marry the woman arranged by his family.

This day, Shao Dong went to meet another customer. This kind of customer has the intention of cooperation but not now. After all, Shao Dong has not won the award yet, and he is only in contact with it as a later reserve.It is said that the entertainment industry is a network with complex relationships, and Shao Dong has a deep understanding of this truth at this moment.Networks come from getting along with each other, word of mouth not only requires good works but also a publicity strategy.

The other party chatted with him and couldn't help joking: "Would you like to shoot an advertisement, public welfare is also fine, just your appearance must be liked by many girls."

Shao Dong smiled shyly. He is not an artist, so he doesn't need to shoot commercials, but if he is invited to a public service advertisement, he will definitely go.Many artists do public welfare, and they are somewhat suspected of being a show, but they have done practical things anyway.

"Speaking of public service advertisements, I heard that a famous director is preparing to shoot public service advertisements. Do you want to try it? Although this kind of advertisement is not paid, it can increase your reputation."

Shao Dong was very interested after asking about the content, and asked someone for the contact information of the other party, and was going to recommend himself.

The afternoon sun was mild, so Shao Dong decided to go around to see if there was any office for rent.He has nothing to do, the studio is already on the right track, creation needs inspiration, and he doesn't want to write songs in such a commercial way and follow a fixed pattern. Whenever he has time, he will walk around to see the scenery.

But the phone rang, and the unfamiliar number made him hesitate, but he was worried if it was a customer.

"Shao Dong, are you free?"

Listening to the long-lost voice, Shao Dong hesitated, Bai Qinglin.Since that incident, Bai Qinglin seemed to have disappeared, and he never called him.In fact, he never thought of blaming Bai Qinglin at all, no matter what the other party's plans, at least the other party told him the truth.

"Is something wrong?"

"Well, I'm taking pictures now, maybe another hour. Can I come out for coffee later?"

Bai Qinglin's cautious voice made Shao Dong sad. Before, Bai Qinglin would not talk to him like this. Although he didn't understand why Bai Qinglin wanted to be friends with him, he had a good time.

"Where are you?"

Bai Qinglin reported the address, "There is no one else in the studio, so come here if it's convenient for you."

It was an ordinary-looking photography studio. Shao Dong stood in front of the window, and there was a photo of a toy rabbit inside. The pink rabbit was sitting on a man's shoulder, exactly the same as the one in Wei Lin's bedroom.The man only showed his bearded chin, Shao Dong couldn't help but look a few more times, this man looked familiar.

Shao Dong looked at it with gusto, and a middle-aged man came out with a friendly look, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Shao Dong? Mr. Bai is taking pictures inside, are you free?"

Shao Dong followed the people in. The studio looked small from the outside, but there was something different inside.

When Bai Qinglin saw someone coming, he quickly greeted the photographer and ran over, "You're here."

Shao Dong glanced at the makeup on Bai Qinglin's face, and realized that makeup is really important. Bai Qinglin's face is not so white anymore, and he doesn't know what to put on to look cool, "Mr. Bai."

Bai Qinglin looked at Shao Dong with some embarrassment. After the incident last time, he was scolded bloody by Bai Bi and asked him not to contact Shao Dong again.Bai Bi said it very directly, don't drag Shao Dong to the back if you ruin yourself.

And after Wei's series of personnel changes, Bai Qinglin's life is not easy.Qian Yuchang has been with Wei Chen for a long time, and they all said that the king of Hades loves little ghosts, and Qian Yuchang is the little ghost raised by Wei Chen. In the past, he had to ask his wishes when he was notified, but now he only greets him when he is done.He wanted to participate in a movie invested by Wei Chen, but Qian Yuchang asked him to arrange an advertisement endorsement for him after freezing him for a period of time, saying that it was time to come out and increase his popularity.

"Shao Dong, do you have time?" Bai Qinglin didn't know if Shao Dong and Wei Chen were together, but he felt aggrieved and wanted to find someone to talk to.

Shao Dong nodded, "I'm free all afternoon, but I have to go back before dinner." Wei Chen said that he would go home for dinner tonight, and he was still thinking about buying some good vegetables for autumn fat.

"Then just wait for me, it will be fine in a while."

After Bai Qinglin finished speaking, he went to change his clothes. The photographer who was standing on the side swayed over at this moment, circled around Shao Dong a few times, and suddenly approached.

The suddenly enlarged face in front of him made Shao Dong back away. The other party had a playful smile that was not serious at all, with a pair of evil eyes and earrings on his ears. Shao Dong greeted cautiously: "Hello."

When the photographer smiled, the phoenix eyes were hooked, and he pointed to the side, "Wash his face."

Shao Dong quickly said, "I'm not here to take pictures."

But the photographer said: "I want to take pictures for you. The negatives I took are for you. It's just to change my mood. Always looking at a face makes me tired."

Shao Dong: "I don't know how to pose..." As he was talking, someone else had already handed over a towel, and seeing the smile on his face, he could only take it and wipe off the oil and sweat on his face.

"I can tell by your appearance that you are not an entertainer. You don't need to pose to relax. You are guaranteed to be very handsome in the photo. I will use it to deceive the little girl and stay safe."

The flashes kept flashing, Shao Dong was nervous at first, but after a long time he became numb, his eyes were dazzled by the strong flashes, and he didn't care what the other party did to take pictures, anyway, he didn't pose.

After finishing a group, Bai Qinglin came out. The photographer whistled, looked at the camera's display screen and said, "I got the best shots today, what a pity." inside.

Bai Qinglin smiled, but the others didn't point it out, they just laughed sullenly.

Watching Bai Qinglin posing various cool and handsome poses in front of the camera, Shao Dong also understood what the photographer said, aesthetic fatigue.Bai Qinglin is indeed good-looking, but he always has the same appearance, which makes people a little boring.

The sound of the shutter is different every time, some are continuous, some are paused, Shao Dong finally found the joy of passing the time.In the flickering lights and shadows is the adored gaze, no wonder everyone is addicted to being an artist.

After the photographer finished shooting, Shao Dong hurriedly stood up and walked with him. He remembered that the other party said they would give him negatives.

When Bai Qinglin went to remove his makeup, the photographer brought Shao Dong to the computer and showed Shao Dong what he had photographed.

It was a series of close-ups of facial features, surrounded by hazy light, making Shao Dong's facial features stand out clearly.

"This is me?" Looks a little different?Brother Wei's doll obviously has a round face.

"Yeah, this is you in front of the camera. Are you going to be an artist? Modeling is a bit boring, but it's not bad to endorse cosmetics."

Shao Dong would like to thank you for not being sensitive, and asking him to dance and pose in front of the camera to recommend cosmetics would be better than asking him to endorse famous Chinese snacks, at least he will not be complained about filming false advertisements.

"Your skin is really good, I don't need post-processing, and I don't need to repair too much." The photographer said, took Shao Dong's mobile phone and copied the photos in, "Why don't I give you the copyright fee, and hang it in our shop .”

"No." Shao Dong shook his head repeatedly.

"Okay. How about I just zoom in and promise not to use it commercially?"

"This..." Shao Dong hesitated, "Can you give me a picture of that rabbit?"

"Rabbit?" the photographer wondered, "That's the product catalogue. If you like that rabbit, I can give you a set. It's out of print. I promise there are only two sets in the world."

"No need, I just think that rabbit is very cute. May I ask who is the man in that photo?" Shao Dong always felt that the man in that photo was Wei Lin.He also wanted to see what a serious Wei Lin would look like holding a litter of rabbits.

The photographer looked at Shao Dong curiously, "A man? This is not acceptable. The customer asks not to show it to others."

Shao Dong thought for a while, "Then...then you should delete my negatives too."

The photographer depressedly opened a folder and put the negatives in: "This is called professional ethics. You don't want me to show your photos to others."

Shao Dong chuckled.

The photographer took out a business card and handed it to Shao Dong, "My surname is Zhao, please leave an email address, and I will send it to you after I fix it."

"Negative?"

"Don't worry, I won't show it to others. Are you familiar with Bai Qinglin?"

"Not very familiar either."

"Oh, he's not bad, it's just that he's a bit unlucky during this time."

Shao Dong didn't ask, Bai Qinglin would talk about it later.

Bai Qinglin didn't go to the cafe with Shao Dong, but drove around in the nanny's car.

"Are you alright?"

After removing the makeup, Bai Qinglin's face was pale, as if he had been drained of energy as soon as he left the camera, and he looked listless, "Shao Dong, I'm sorry about what happened last time, I drank too much."

Shao Dong: "It's nothing, even if you don't say it, someone else will."

Bai Qinglin sighed, "Do you want to see her?"

Shao Dong shook his head, Bai Bi didn't want to admit why he wanted to expose other people's scars, and Bai Bi's status is special, artists have no privacy.

"Your father..."

"My dad is fine. How is she?"

Bai Qinglin nodded, "Sometimes I suspect that even if only she and the camera are left in the world, she can live well."

Even if Shao Dong agrees, he does not respond. He cannot judge who is good and who is not.

"Shao Dong, you are great, really. I thought there would be shortcuts in life, but I was wrong. Do you remember Cheng Le?"

Shao Dong: "Can my classmate not remember?" It's just that the phone number at Cheng Le's home has also changed, and he can't be reached at all.

"After he left Xingxing, he quit the entertainment industry. With a ten-year contract on his back, he was refrigerated by the company. If he didn't want to leave, he had to go."

Shao Dong guessed the ending of Chengle, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Bai Qinglin continued: "Fortunately, he can go back. The family conditions are good and he doesn't have to worry about not having a job. Once some people leave, they may not even be able to maintain a basic life."

Shao Dong: "Are you in trouble?"

Bai Qinglin smiled wryly: "Actually, I have considered quitting the entertainment circle. I always wonder if I will be like her and become a person who can only live under the lights."
