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

Ling Xiu has always been a gentle person, but at this moment he almost died of panic.

"Xiao Song, let's talk after you catch your breath. What happened to the magazine sales?"

After asking this sentence, Ling Xiu instantly sensed something was wrong.

"Earlier, Sister Shu said that the magazine shoots the inside pages, not the cover, so you don't need to worry about the sales volume, and you don't need to deliberately ask fans to buy it. Why do you bring up the sales volume again?"

"Yeah, that's the main point I want to say." Chang Xiaosong put one hand on his waist and the other on Ling Xiu's shoulders, finally regaining his strength.

He is no longer a joke, "The cover of this magazine is a traffic artist, and the magazine's official v opened the pre-sale yesterday. But when your inside page picture came out today, suddenly many people went to the official blog to inquire and ask to buy. Number of people There are quite a lot, the official V probably didn't expect it at the beginning, and after a while, he specially posted a picture of you and opened your exclusive pre-sale."

Speaking of this, Chang Xiaosong laughed so much that it could be said that the flowers were trembling, "I guess the magazine didn't expect that there are so many people wanting to buy the inside pages."

Let's go. ”

"Let's not talk about magazines, I didn't think of that either." Ling Xiu was incredulous, "There aren't many contents in total, are there?"

"Well, you only have three or four pictures in total, plus a small interview." Chang Xiaosong looked at Ling Xiu with adoring eyes, "Brother, do you know? You only have these few pictures, do you know how many copies have been pre-sold? "

Ling Xiu shook his head, "I don't know."

Chang Xiaosong stretched out his palm, "Five thousand copies! Do you know the concept of five thousand physical magazines? Many front-line actors can't buy this number of cover magazines!"

"..." Ling Xiu was shocked.

"The streamer who took the cover of the same magazine as you, his pre-sales are just a little bit more than yours." Chang Xiaosong said, "You know, he has a lot more fans than you."

"That's right, I don't have so many fans, why do so many people buy it?" Ling Xiu was puzzled.

"Most of them are bought by passers-by and fans. They heard that you have a magazine and want to support it. In their words, they just want to spend some money on handsome guys."

It was the first time that Ling Xiu had seen such a situation of actively wanting to spend money.

Followed by some concerns, "It doesn't always feel good, especially for minors, it's really not good to spend money blindly."

"Don't worry, brother." Chang Xiaosong patted Ling Xiu on the shoulder, "This magazine costs more than ten yuan, and most people only buy one copy to read. There will be no repeated purchase of multiple copies. I have no financial means No one would buy it, brother, you haven’t completely become popular yet, how can you have such crazy fans.”

The truth of the last sentence was a little bit heart-wrenching, but it also made Ling Xiu feel a lot more at ease.

He posted on Weibo and wanted to send a message to thank his fans.

I thought about it, but I didn't know what to say to reflect my mood at the moment.

In the end, I simply took a photo and put it up. There is no text, only a loving expression.

As soon as this Weibo was posted, comments flooded in like crazy.

"I love both handsome guys and beautiful women: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh also)"

"Xiuxiu's wife fan: Husband, you are so handsome, so handsome, so handsome, you have good skin without makeup, kiss."

"A tenth-level aesthetics appreciation scholar: God, this sweat...why does it feel so sexy..."

"sdldnewn: At this moment, I am the sweat on Xiao Xiuxiu's face, and I want to stick tightly to his side."

Ling Xiu: ...

These hot comments caught him off guard and he didn't even know how to respond.

Forget it, wait a while and find some "normal" comments to reply to.

Thinking so, Ling Xiu quit Weibo.

He put his arms around Chang Xiaosong's shoulders, "Let's go, go back to eat."

……

Ling Xiu originally thought that the magazine's hot sale was just a lucky episode, but who knew that magazine sales were one of the favorite topics discussed in gossip forums. Ling Xiu pre-sold [-] copies for the first time when he took pictures of the magazine's inside pages, and it quickly became popular. The forum sparked heated discussions.

Soon the marketing account moved the forum post to Weibo, which caused a little sensation.

As a result, Ling Xiu's Weibo attracted many passers-by who watched the excitement again, and gained another wave of followers.

"Brother, how long has it been? Your Weibo is almost reaching tens of millions of fans." Chang Xiaosong sighed, "Is this the great power of appearance?"

Ling Xiu glanced at the Weibo homepage and shrugged, "Actually, I don't even understand it myself."

"Are you tired from training?" Chang Xiaosong took out the sports drink and unscrewed the cap, "Let's replenish some energy."

Ling Xiu raised his head and took two sips.

At this moment, the sun is shining brightly outside the house, and he is learning sword dance routines with his martial arts teacher in the rehearsal room of the hotel.

He also practiced with the leading male Duan Qikang.

The male lead has more action scenes, and some frontal shots cannot use martial arts, so he must play well-at least the airs must be in place.

Ling Xiu has a good understanding, and he has memorized the movements a long time ago. In order not to expose himself, he only used half of his strength and pretended to be weak.

Even so, he has been praised by the teacher, saying that he can make action movies and be a star.

But Duan Qikang is just a mortal after all, and his learning progress is much slower.

Therefore, when Ling Xiu was resting, Duan Qikang continued to practice under the supervision of the teacher.

"There are still two days before we start reading the script." He put down his drink and glanced at Duan Qikang who was seriously dancing the sword in front of him, "Time flies so fast."

"You will be more tired after turning on the machine." Chang Xiaosong folded his arms and muttered to himself, "Summer will affect your appetite. I have to think about the recipes so that you can eat happily and keep up with the nutrition."

"Bang bang bang—"

Just when Ling Xiu wanted to tell his good brother that he could eat whatever he wanted without worrying so much, there was a light knock on the door of the rehearsal room.

"Come in, the door is unlocked." The martial arts teacher shouted.

As soon as the words were finished, the door was pushed open, and Shen Jianshu came in with half of his body turned sideways.

"Sister." Ling Xiu's eyes lit up, a little happy, "Why are you here?"

Shen Jianshu has been so busy recently that he has not seen her for two days.

"Xiaoling, Xiaosong." Shen Jianshu called out and made a gesture of beckoning.

Ling Xiu understood, told the teacher, and led Chang Xiaosong out of the rehearsal room.

Shen Jianshu found a quiet terrace and sat under the umbrella.

"Sister, do you have any new instructions?"

Ling Xiu sat on the chair next to her and joked.

"Yes, sister, you are so secretive, it's kind of scary." Chang Xiaosong has always been a little afraid of this sister Yu, so he chose a seat farthest from her to sit down.

A smile appeared on Shen Jianshu's calm face.

"It's a good thing." She habitually tucked her broken hair behind her ears, "The cooperation with that sports brand is basically finalized, and they will send someone over to discuss the specific contract tomorrow. The company can sign the contract after reviewing the contract. .”

"Is it so fast?" Ling Xiu thought that he would have to drag the brand for a while.

Shen Jianshu smiled lightly.

"It wasn't so fast at first, but as soon as your magazine sold out yesterday, the other party contacted me immediately, wanting to finalize the cooperation."

"It's really realistic." Chang Xiaosong couldn't help interjecting.

"Business is about business." Shen Jianshu said, "The other party's search for a spokesperson is not for charity, but for better sales of products. Now that Xiao Ling has proved his ability to bring goods, the other party is naturally in a hurry to finalize the cooperation. "

Ling Xiu nodded in understanding.

"The most important thing is that the other party offered to increase your salary." Shen Jianshu looked at Ling Xiu, "I will also pave the way for you and recommend you to be published in magazines."

Ling Xiu's mind was completely attracted by the first half of the sentence.

"Increased salary?" That would be great!

"Don't get too excited." Shen Jianshu squeezed his thumb and index finger, "It's only a little bit higher. Anyway, it can't compare with first-line actors and traffic, you have to be mentally prepared."

"As long as it goes up." Ling Xiu said happily, "Even if it's only a few cents up, it's still money."

Shen Jianshu and Chang Xiaosong laughed at the same time.

"Look at your success."

"Brother, no, we really won't."

"As for it, every penny is money." Ling Xiu didn't intend to continue arguing with them about the concept of money, so he simply changed the subject, "Sister, the filming of the new movie will start soon, if you sign an endorsement, how can you have time to shoot commercials and hard work?" What about taking pictures? I don’t want to ask for leave to go out of town when I’m filming.”

This is his first play, and he must not be fooled.

Shen Jianshu had obviously considered this issue a long time ago.

"I have communicated with the other party, and they will come here to shoot at that time. There are many studios in the film and television city, and the exterior scenes are beautiful."

As she said that, she changed into a gentle tone, "Knowing that you are very dedicated and value this drama, the company will naturally not hinder you. At that time, we will take advantage of the time when you are not filming to shoot commercials."

Now Ling Xiu was completely relieved.

He is the second male lead, and he doesn't have many roles, so he will have more free time.

As long as you don't have to leave Binshan Film and Television Base, everything else is easy to talk about.

……

The sports brand was very efficient and sent someone over to finalize the contract the next day.

They work seriously, the contract is very detailed, and the responsibilities and obligations are very clear.

Not only that, the owner of the brand also took the initiative to call, showing enough sincerity.

The two sides talked harmoniously, and the cooperation progressed very smoothly.

The day before the launch of the new drama, Ling Xiu signed the contract and became the spokesperson of the sports brand.

Because the advertisement and various promotional photos have not been taken yet, the brand and the company have reached a consensus and decided to move the official announcement time a little later.

Less than a month after signing the contract with Nebula Entertainment, Ling Xiu gathered a lot of enthusiasm and won the spokesperson of a national sports brand. This is also a rare example in a star-studded company.

The boss Zheng Bosong happily gave Ling Xiu a big red envelope directly.

He bluntly said that if there was no non-disclosure agreement, he would post a message in the circle of friends, and he would be embarrassed to sign a little lucky star.

Ling Xiu was naturally very excited too.

The new drama is about to start, and with the acquisition of the spokesperson, it can be called double happiness.

But no matter how excited he was, he didn't forget one important thing.

——The cooperation between him and the brand was facilitated by Mr. Jiang.

Jiang Hongtu was his great benefactor.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiu called Mr. Jiang and thanked him solemnly.

"I just reposted it casually, don't be so exaggerated." Jiang Hongtu's tone was gentle, as if he could see his wrinkled face.

"You didn't have to repost it for me, but you still posted it and let the brand notice me. If I don't thank you well, I will have a bad conscience."

"Why do your words sound so familiar?" Jiang Hongtu was silent for a few seconds before laughing loudly, "You kid, didn't I tell you these words before, you learned them all."

Ling Xiu also laughed.

"I accept your thank you, and I also accept your heartfelt favor." Jiang Hongtu said, "We are friendships and friends. Since we are friends, don't be polite."

"Okay." Ling Xiu is as good as he is, and the words of thanks will stop here, "Then when you are free, I will treat Uncle Jiang to a meal."

Jiang Hongtu readily agreed, "I'm semi-retired now, so I have a lot of free time. Ask me out whenever you're free."

He made an appointment with Jiang Hongtu for a meal at an undecided time, and Chang Xiaosong urged Ling Xiu to sleep as soon as he hung up the phone.

"Isn't it only 10:30?"

"Is 10:30 very early?!" Chang Xiaosong put his hips on his hips, pretending to be fierce, "Do you know how many media will take pictures at the launch tomorrow? Not only the media, but also the male and female protagonists, you, the station sister of the second female lead, and you There are proxy auctioneers who collect money!"

"So?" Ling Xiu didn't understand the logical relationship between this and going to bed early.

"If you don't sleep well, you won't be in good condition. Either you have dark circles under your eyes, or your face is swollen. Then you will be photographed by countless people when you go to the opening ceremony like this!" Chang Xiaosong was as strict as a teaching director , "At that time, you will be ridiculed by the whole Internet, saying that you are an artist, and you can't even control your state well. This will be very detrimental to your acting career."

Ling Xiu silently gave a thumbs up after listening.

"It turns out that going to bed late will actually delay my acting career."

"Of course!" Chang Xiaosong pointed in the direction of the bedroom, "Now, immediately, immediately, go to bed."

At this moment, Ling Xiu felt a powerful aura from his good buddy.

... I'm scared. I'm scared.

"Okay, I'm going to sleep now."

Just as Ling Xiu took a step, Chang Xiaosong pulled him back to emphasize.

"Don't drink water, or you will be swollen tomorrow!"

Ling Xiu was speechless, "Got it!"

……

To be honest, Ling Xiu didn't really believe Chang Xiaosong's statement that "many people will come to the opening ceremony" to take pictures.

But after the opening ceremony, he realized that Chang Xiaosong could be called a prophet.

Not to mention the large number of media, the scale of each fan station is huge.

The hero and heroine are already famous, so naturally there are many fans.

Ling Xiu didn't expect that many fans came for him.

He glanced around, at least twenty or thirty of them, both male and female.

They held a DSLR cannon, and wore homemade headbands on their heads, with three shiny words written on the headbands - "Xiao Xiuxiu."

Ling Xiu: ...

Help, he will really thank you.

In addition to the fans of each family, the number of proxy shooters who are said to receive money is even more staggering.

They and fans are not allowed to enter the venue and can only take pictures outside.

The fans are pretty good, just standing where they are and taking pictures with the DSLR, and calling out the name of their idols from time to time to cheer them up.

The proxy shooting was very exaggerated. Some of them climbed trees, some built ladders, hoping to have a panoramic view of the opening ceremony.

"These people are too exaggerated." Ling Xiu was a little worried, "Especially those people on the tree, aren't they afraid of danger?"

The second female lead, Jiang Yu, stood beside Ling Xiu when worshiping the gods, and she seemed to be used to it.

"This group of people does this every day. In order to make money, they wish they could fly a helicopter to shoot."

Ling Xiu shook his head.

He didn't understand why he put himself in such a dangerous situation.You can take pictures even if you stand well.

The opening ceremony was carried out according to the procedure, and soon came to the last link - the main creators of the crew gave speeches on stage.

This is also the most exciting moment for the peripheral shooters, who can't wait to put the camera on the stage.

Ling Xiu, as the second male, was the first to speak.

After he said a few words, he stood aside.

The process continued, and when it was the actor's turn to speak on stage, the atmosphere reached a climax.

The proxies started commotion, some wanted to break in, those who climbed the tree climbed higher, and the fans also shouted heart-piercingly.

Although the scene was a bit chaotic for a while, at least the crew and security guards controlled the situation.

Director Peng Shu was the last to speak.

After the speech, the actors and crew took a group photo.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the surrounding proxy shooters and fans gathering place.

"What's going on?" Peng Shu said with a dark face, "Why are ghosts crying and wolves howling?"

The assistant director shook his head, "I don't know, I'll go and have a look."

Five minutes later, the assistant director ran back out of breath.

"Director Peng, just now a proxy accidentally fell when he was taking down the tree, and even bumped into two of our crew's martial artists, causing them to be injured."

"Is the injury serious?" Peng Shu asked.

"Skin trauma, I've already asked the production staff to contact the hospital." The assistant director sighed, "The key question is that these two people are Xiao Duan and Xiao Ling's replacements, and they will have roles in the scene when the movie starts, will this affect the filming? "

After speaking, he shifted his gaze to Ling Xiu and Duan Qikang, the number one male.
