He really doesn't want to be popular with Pixiu [Entertainment Circle]

"What good opportunity?"

Before Ling Xiu could speak, Chang Xiaosong, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but speak first.

After he finished speaking, he realized his rashness and immediately apologized.

Shen Jianshu was not angry, not even surprised, with a calm face.

"Sister Shu, can you tell me about this great opportunity of yours? I'm also very interested."

Ling Xiu immediately moved the topic down, unknowingly helping his good brother out of the siege.

"Now the company has won an audition role for the second male lead in a costume idol drama." Shen Jianshu paused, "If you sign the contract, the company will most likely push you."

In the past, Ling Xiu might not understand the weight of this sentence.

But after working as a low-level prospect actor for a month, I have a little understanding of what kind of ecosystem the entertainment industry is.

To act as the second male lead after signing the contract, for him, this meeting ceremony is almost a great thing that will drop money from the sky.

"Sister Shen, I understand." Ling Xiu was a little happy in his heart, but his face remained calm, "Is it okay if I go back and look at the contract and reply to you?"

"Yes." Shen Jianshu nodded slightly, "But don't exceed the off-duty time tomorrow afternoon. After the time, this extra benefit will be invalid."

……

As soon as the two walked out of the office building, Chang Xiaosong grabbed Ling Xiu's arm and jumped up and down excitedly.

"Brother, after signing the contract, you will have the opportunity to play the second male puppet! Oh my god, what a great thing this is! Did you know that a well-designed male second is actually more likable than the leading actor, and it's easy to become popular!"

"I haven't read the contract yet." Ling Xiu waved the document in his hand, "What if there is something wrong with the contract?"

"Yes." Chang Xiaosong calmed down for a second, and rubbed his face vigorously, "Look at me, I'm so unpromising, I'm too excited, I haven't signed a contract yet."

"You are also happy for me." Ling Xiu put the contract into the backpack, "Come on, let's go to eat first."

"Wait... I just remembered that what Shen Jianshu said just now was "possible" to give you an audition opportunity, but he didn't give an exact statement, maybe it's just a trick. "Chang Xiaosong regained his sanity, and his IQ came back online, "Forget it, let's study the contract first." "

Chang Xiaosong usually looks like a fool, but when he is doing business, he is so serious that it is impressive.

Back at the hotel where Ling Xiu was temporarily staying, Chang Xiaosong searched for information, consulted law students, and studied the contract word by word. He stayed up half the night and drank two cups of black coffee.

"Finally done!"

Finally, Chang Xiaosong put down the documents, took off his glasses, and squeezed the space between his eyebrows.

"Brother, this contract seems to be no problem at present, at least it didn't dig a hole for you."

Immediately afterwards, he briefly explained the content of the contract to Ling Xiu, such as rights and obligations, and some precautions for signing the contract.

I have to say that Nebula's contract conditions are good.

First of all, as Shen Jianshu said, the contract period is divided into three levels, namely three years, five years and ten years.

Nowadays, many entertainment companies sign newcomers for ten or eight years, which makes the artists very passive, and finally ends up in lawsuits.

Secondly, the company promised to arrange for him to train in acting skills and talents, provide him with a safe and stable residence, and his salary and commission will increase step by step according to his ability.

Finally, the contract clearly stated that if Ling Xiuguo signed the contract, he would be given an audition for the role of the second or third male.

"I didn't expect that it was true to push you to audition. After I calmed down in the afternoon, I really thought she was fooling you." Chang Xiaosong stretched and collapsed on the small sofa in the hotel, "But rights and obligations are directly proportional On the other hand, this contract has to be said to be quite strict in the entertainment circle."

Ling Xiu glanced at the column of responsibilities and risks of signed artists, and read it out.

"If Party B violates the law and violates the moral bottom line, the contract will be terminated and the company will be compensated accordingly."

He pondered for a while, not understanding very much, "This seems normal, why is it so strict?"

Chang Xiaosong sighed.

"For ordinary people, maybe it's normal. But the entertainment industry..." He shook his head and didn't speak again.

"Don't worry Xiaosong, I'm not interested in other things except making money." Ling Xiu solemnly comforted his brother, "I will make money legally, don't worry about me."

Chang Xiaosong burst out laughing.

"Brother, you and I don't worry about you. With your warm-blooded and kind heart, you won't do radical things. But it's right for you to have nothing else to do but only want to make money. It's in line with the modern trend. It's very good and worth it. praise."

……

The next day, Ling Xiu came to Nebula Entertainment again, signed a three-year contract, and officially became an artist under the company.

Not surprisingly, Shen Jianshu became Ling Xiu's manager.

She has two other artists under her, both singers.

This beautiful woman is indeed a strong woman. After signing the contract, she asked the fashion department to find clothes for Ling Xiu and make up. After everything was settled, she took him to a neatly furnished room and asked the company's photographer to take pictures for him.

"You need to take several sets of promotional photos." Shen Jianshu explained, "These photos will appear on the company's official website and your social media avatar. If there are announcements or business, official photos will also be provided to the media and business brands."

After finishing speaking, she asked again: "Xiao Ling, have you never taken pictures of these things before?"

Ling Xiu nodded honestly.

"It's okay." Shen Jianshu's tone softened, "In a while, you can do whatever the photographer asks you to do. Take it easy and show yourself as much as possible."

"No problem." Ling Xiu nodded in agreement.

After a short preparation, Ling Xiu started shooting.

At the beginning, the photographer would teach him how to pose and how to make expressions.But after taking a few shots, Ling Xiu became more and more relaxed, and sometimes he could understand the meaning of the photographer without saying much.

The photographer's frown slowly relaxed, a smile filled his face, and he became excited.

He slapped Ling Xiu with a click, and he couldn't stop praising him.

"That's right, that's what I want."

"That's it, keep the firmness in your eyes."

"Smile, the kind that steals sunshine, very good!"

The originally planned two-hour shooting was completed perfectly in the last hour.

Ling Xiu sat aside to rest and drink water, while Shen Jianshu went to test the results.

"Ling Xiu's lens is very expressive, and he is very good at drawing raw pictures. He is not inferior to magazine models." The photographer took the camera and showed Shen Jianshu one by one, "Sister Shu, look."

Shu Jianshu's expression remained unchanged, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.

"It's really good, I can't see that she was just a group performer before, with a natural star temperament."

The photographer took a look at Ling Xiu who was not far away, and said in a low voice: "This kid has exquisite and three-dimensional facial features, and smooth muscle lines. Even if he can't be popular in acting in the future, he will have no problem walking on the road of fashion."

"Not only do we have to go on the road of fashion, but we also have to go as far as possible in acting." Shen Jianshu looked indifferent, but his tone was firm.

"So, you like him?" The photographer laughed.

"Why, can't you?" Shen Jianshu raised his eyebrows.

"Okay, of course." The photographer lowered his voice, and suddenly became gossiping, "Sister, I heard that Sister Ying is also pushing her newly signed artist to try out that play? Are you sure... "

Shen Jianshu hummed casually, "I know it well."

"That's fine." The photographer saw that she didn't want to say more, so he coughed and changed the subject, "Then I'll get all the photos out and show you."

After the promotional photos were taken, Ling Xiu was invited into the office by Shen Jianshu again.

"sit down."

Shen Jianshu pointed to the chair opposite the desk.

"Sister Shu, do you have something important to tell me?" Ling Xiu smelled something unusual.

"It's like this." Shen Jianshu brushed her broken hair behind her ears, without any foreshadowing, and got straight to the point.

"Xiao Ling, you have two choices now. The first one is to take acting classes for two months, and then play the stable male number three. The second choice is to fight for that ancient costume with a very good production team Idol drama male second."

"But..." She changed the topic, "Hope is a little slim."

"How do you say hope is a bit slim?" Ling Xiu wanted to understand more clearly.

"Originally you were the only one recommended by the company to audition." Shen Jianshu pursed her lips, stared at Ling Xiu with a stern expression, "But now the situation has changed, you may have to compete with another artist from the company for that audition spot .”
