Daily life of outdated stars

What is a star?

Stars are packaged products, and almost all products have a shelf life.

A star's journey from debut to heyday, from heyday to downhill, this process may last for decades, or it may last for several months.

Almost all stars will face an ending - passing away.

Of course Xu Jia is no exception.

He accepted the matter of being angry well, but his manager couldn't get out. The two big men occasionally drank together. Jia, why are you so angry?"

"When I debuted, didn't the company find someone to calculate it? I can only be popular for five years."

"Bah - that's obviously a rumor spread by black fans."

Xu Jia smiled and shook her head, and said, "At least I've been popular for five years, so it's not a loss."

"It's a big loss, okay?" The manager's eyes were red, shaking Xu Jia's arm back and forth, "Your appearance, your acting skills, your singing skills..."

"Brother Wang," Xu Jia was extremely helpless, and carefully withdrew her arm, "Isn't this the way it is in this circle? Red is metaphysics, so I can't force it. I'm living a good life now."

Brother Wang babbled and said a lot of drunken things, and finally fell down on the dining table. Xu Jia and the waiter sent the person to the car together, called a substitute driver, and after some effort, they took the person to the residence.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when we left the agent's house. Xu Jia missed the last subway. Today, his car number was limited, so he didn't drive when he went out.

Fortunately, the agent's house is not far from one of his houses, five kilometers away, so walking is the right time to exercise.

Xu Jia stood at the intersection, waiting for the red light to turn green, when the LED screen opposite suddenly turned into a song and dance clip of a male star.Xu Jia raised her head and watched for a minute and a half. At the end of the video was a message from fans—"Zhou Mingyu, happy birthday."

The traffic light on the opposite side finally turned green, and Xu Jia walked forward quickly. He ordered a cake for himself and temporarily stored it in the express cabinet. If he walked fast enough, he would still have time to eat a bite of the birthday cake before midnight.

Today is his 33rd birthday, and also his sixth year of passing.

He debuted at the age of 16 and became popular at the age of 22. After five years of being popular, he quickly went downhill. Midway's company and his agent tried many methods, but they still couldn't save the decline. They could only accept the fact that he was out of breath.

Xu Jia doesn't care. With his past experience, he can still get roles and commercial performances. What he plays is not acting, and where he sings is not singing. .

Xu Jia ate her birthday cake before twelve o'clock, and halfway through eating, she remembered to take a photo and posted it on her social software.

He has 800 million fans on social software, not bought, but only a few replies after 10 minutes.

He read every reply carefully, put down his phone, and started to make a wish.

In the past five years, his wish has been to hope that his work will go smoothly and his career will improve.

This year is the sixth year of his death. He chose to give up this unrealistic wish, but wished to find a suitable partner, hold a wedding, and live a happy family life.

At 12:30, Xu Jia went to bed and soon fell asleep.

In the dream, he was holding the trophy for the best newcomer, and the fans in the audience raised their beautiful hands-"The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the side of the water."

The next day, Xu Jia got up early, ran around the neighborhood three times, bought a drawer of steamed buns and a bowl of porridge at the breakfast shop, sat down and ate them slowly.

Just after eating, the phone vibrated a few times, and the news software pushed the latest entertainment information.

"—tonight at eight o'clock to witness the night of Shining Son's formation together."

Xu Jia crossed out the news feed familiarly, took out a tissue and wiped the screen of the phone, took the phone and left.

Xu Jia used to have a small team with assistants, makeup artists, stylists, photographers, and photographers. Later, his income dropped, and he couldn’t afford to support so many people. A redder star.

Although Brother Wang still bears the name of his agent, the focus of his work has long been on other more popular and newer stars. Most of the work is handled by Xu Jia and makes his own decisions.

The recent work is all about filming with the crew. The director of the crew is two years younger than Xu Jia. Most of the crew members are fresh graduates. They rented a location in the suburbs of the city to shoot a modern romantic drama.

The team is unreliable, the screenwriter is not well-known, the only attractive thing is that the investor is the director's father, there is no problem with the payment of the film, young people also like to play, and the intensity of the filming is not great.

Xu Jia drove to the surrounding area of ​​the studio, found a parking space familiarly, and entered the bungalow for today's filming. Several young people were doing makeup for each other—the crew didn't even have a makeup artist, and sometimes the makeup artist who was hired temporarily came to rush However, it can only make do with it.

The young people smiled and called "Brother Xu", Xu Jia answered, and asked, "Do you need help?"

"No need, no need."

Xu Jia's makeup skills are not bad, but his makeup tends to be natural, the color of the foundation used is not much different from the color of the skin, and he doesn't like to be meticulously crafted. Naturally not very popular.

Xu Jia was also happy to be at leisure, found a mirror, and started to make up for himself - he played a university professor in this play, and the character was a few years older than himself, so naturally he had to look more rigid.

It was around noon when the director arrived late with his assistants. The actors were giggling and lazily doing their work. They flicked through the script. At first glance, most of the actors were cramming. Write down A few words.

Xu Jia has a good memory and is good at using hard work. He has memorized his lines long ago. He holds the script and pretends to be reading it. He does not do things out of the ordinary.

Before the start of the play, the director also ordered a lunch box. After the meal, the play started again, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.From two o'clock filming to six o'clock, the director's girlfriend came to "visit the set" and took the director away by the way, and today's scene was over.

Xu Jia took off her make-up, and browsed through Moments, and found that most of the crews in Moments were rushing to shoot night scenes, and few of them were as undisciplined as his crew.

Xu Jia clicked a few likes, and his mood was peaceful. He always has to work to make money. Now, although he is filming an unpopular online drama, he still earns 200 million after each drama. He recently fell in love with a house. , when the remuneration for this movie comes in, plus the previous deposit, you can start buying it.
