Daily life of outdated stars

The entertainment industry is a place where popularity is the weather vane. The second episode has just started broadcasting. Xu Jia's mobile phone is already full of congratulatory messages from past acquaintances. He opened Weibo, was stuck and quit immediately, repeated several times, Only then did I realize that my Weibo had gained a lot of attention. Under the Weibo of the latest promotional TV series, there were already more than [-] likes and comments.

Xu Jia quit Weibo and didn't respond to anyone's message. He continued to work, while listening to the TV series and writing biographies. It didn't seem long before he heard the ending song sung by Zhou Mingyu.

Is it over?

Xu Jia pulled down the average number of the wild list, above, and the peak value broke 3. He has not paid attention to the wild list for a few years, but according to past experience, this is a result that can make the official Weibo of the TV drama send a congratulatory message.

If the coefficient is really as high as the director said, and the average value of the wild list is multiplied by the coefficient, the final ratings may make the TV station directly announce the big news.

It’s a lie to say that I’m not happy, but I don’t seem to be that excited. If I insist on describing it, it’s like a person walking alone in the desert, always in a state of water shortage, but it’s not life-threatening. When he has adapted to this kind of life Someone told him that he could drink enough water tomorrow.

The waiting time came for too long, and when he gave up, what he always wanted seemed to be within his reach.

After Xu Jia finished today's homework, he took out his phone again and sent a message to Bai Lu: "What are you doing?"

"The young master is speaking. I'm Assistant Zhang. Before the meeting, he told me that if you send him a message, let me tell you that he misses you very much and asks you to go to bed early. He will be in China at around eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Call up."

The other party replied quickly, although it was not the person himself.

Xu Jia also left a message: "Thank you. Please remind him to eat on time and have a good rest. By the way, tell him that I miss him too."

Xu Jia went to the gym for a while, took a shower, and lay down on the bed.

He closed his eyes, but his brain was not completely empty - he remembered ten years ago, when he was 23 years old, and on such an ordinary night, he received the news that the premiere of the TV series had exploded.

At that time, he was so excited that he jumped around, called Da Liu, and talked on and on for more than an hour, setting many goals without shame.

"Let's choose a good one for the next play, and I will act it well. It will definitely be well received and well received."

"I want to be that kind of long-term actor. From the day when I acted in my 20s to the day when I can't act anymore, people will call me an old actor in the future."

"I just said that my vision is right, the script is really good, and I have suffered so much, how could the effect not be good."

Xu Jia didn't feel ashamed of her brashness back then, she just felt that he was still too young at that time, young enough to believe that as long as he worked hard in the entertainment industry, he would succeed, too young to hear Liu's perfunctory and coping on the phone .

——The company does not exclude artists under the name who have made achievements on the road of performance, but the company is more concerned about how much income the artist can generate for the company.

Xu Jia was too young at the time, he didn't understand this truth, he stubbornly stuck to his bottom line, he didn't want to come out to do commercial activities when he was on the set, he didn't want to accept commercials for cutting leeks with poor quality, and he didn't want to stuff his peers with extremely poor acting skills Join the crew of your own acting.

The company can't get the benefits it wants from him, so naturally it doesn't care too much about him—it simply puts him in the crew of a self-produced drama, and tells the partner that his schedule is full and will find him He distributed his resources to other highly praised actors, turned a blind eye to his black materials, and even adopted the "black and red" hype mode.

Xu Jia's acting skills are indeed good, but even the best acting skills can only make a bad drama when encountering a weird script and biased editing.

Xu Jia acted in three bad dramas, and then acted in a good drama. In the eyes of the public, it was just that the cast of the good drama was good. In the end, Xu Jia was labeled as "he is not good at acting, it all depends on the cast".

In the end, the company forcibly grabbed more benefits from Xu Jia, but they were also tired of this disobedient artist, so when they received the instructions from above, they almost didn't hesitate to start the act of backstabbing.

Xu Jia hadn't thought about those past events for a long time, and he didn't know why, but he thought about them one by one. Looking back at the past, he realized how stupid he was and how bad the company was.

Perhaps in the eyes of some entertainment companies, a popular star with a brain, a bottom line, a personality, and who doesn't listen to manipulation should not exist.

Song Xin is an overtime dog. He is 31 years old this year and works as the marketing director of a well-known beauty company. He is mainly responsible for monitoring online public opinion, looking for hot stars and traffic stars, and choosing the right one for a title. Cooperation, to put it bluntly, is to find someone who can bring goods and cut a wave of leeks to drive sales.

With more stars in contact, it is easier for her to know inside information, and the filter of stars has been broken too many times, and there is only one strong heart left to complete the KPI.

Song Xin just went to work at noon today, and heard a report from his subordinates that there was a blockbuster drama last night, setting a record for the highest premiere in the past two years.

"Which play, what subject matter?"

""Rosemary", an undercover cop drama."

"This theme can be starred... Which company is the starring role?"

"I don't have a company, I set up my own studio."

"What is your name?"

"Xu Jia."

Song Xin stopped typing on the keyboard, turned his head to look at his subordinates.

"Which Jia?"

"Jian Jia is Cang Jia," the subordinate has already done his homework and answered smoothly, "I am 33 years old this year. I was popular before, but I haven't heard anything about it since then. I should have been a youth entertainment artist before..."

"It's not for youth entertainment," Song Xin interrupted the assistant's words, "It's for joyful youth."

"Understood, are you familiar with this actor?"

"I've seen it a few times before." Song Xin's face was calm, but his fingers curled up. "You continue to stare at the ratings and online discussions of this drama, and give me new news in three days."

"Okay, Miss Song."

"Go."

Song Xin sent her subordinates away, clenched her fists, and then slowly loosened them. She first checked the show "Rosemary" and related news about Xu Jia, then opened the memo on the phone, opened a note, Pull to the end.
