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

In the midsummer of August, the heat is unbearable.

Ling Xiu got off work facing the sun that had not yet set in the west, bought a new favorite shaved ice on the way, and went home to wait for a small work meeting with the manager

meeting.

Shen Jianshu was so busy that he would not arrive until after nine o'clock in the evening.

Taking advantage of this time, Ling Xiu can eat something he wants.

——Anyway, eating shaved ice yesterday almost became a trending search, and his emoji was also spread all over the Internet, so he has nothing to worry about.

But Chang Xiaosong saw his brother ate a big bowl full of ice, but his handsome face did not change at all the next day, and he was no longer so strict in control.

After dinner, the two sat on the sofa and chatted online.

"Brother, you are popular now. Not only have there been more drastic changes to walk you, but now even variety shows have started to walk you."

Chang Xiaosong held the phone with an exaggerated expression, "The most outrageous thing is that there is even a love variety show walking you, is there any mistake?"

"What is a love variety show?" Ling Xiuxiu was putting fruit on the fruit plate, and was going to use this to treat Shen Jianshu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"As the name suggests, it is a variety show about dating." Chang Xiaosong explained seriously, "The general mode is that several male and female guests live in a certain villa or yard, and get along day and night to cultivate their relationship. Confession, the successful ones are couples."

After hearing this, Ling Xiu shook his head decisively.

"not interested."

Falling in love is the patent of human beings, and has nothing to do with the gods.

"Of course I know. Brother, you don't care about love, you focus on making money." Chang Xiaosong smiled and shook his head, "Don't talk about me, your girlfriend fans and mother fans know that you only love career and making money. That's why you think these things Walking melons is outrageous."

Three 10 minutes later.

"What?"

"what?"

Chang Xiaosong and Ling Xiu questioned in unison, and stared at Shen Jianshu with expressions of disbelief.

"What are you two doing? You were taken aback." Shen Jianshu had just arrived, not breathing well, and was sitting in the air conditioner to cool down.

"Sister Shu, did a love variety show really find my brother?" Chang Xiaosong quickly handed over iced purified water, "Drink some of this, it will cool you down."

Shen Jianshu took the water and did not drink it in a hurry.

She nodded, "Not only did Lian Zong come to the door, but two came at once, and they belonged to different video platforms."

Ling Xiu: ...

"Unbelievable fucking opened the door for Lige, Lige has arrived home." Chang Xiaosong was speechless, "What is the platform thinking?"

"Because Xiao Ling is good-looking and has a sense of Su. In addition to the recent popularity, the program producer wants to use him to stir up CP and make the show popular." Shen Jianshu looked calm, "A businessman always wants to make money maximize."

"Sister, I won't go." Ling Xiu flatly refused.

Shen Jianshu took a sip of ice water and smiled.

"Don't worry, I've pushed it for you. I'll let you participate in this kind of love affair just when it's hot, unless I'm crazy."

"That's right." Chang Xiaosong finally felt relieved, "It's usually only those artists who are already confused or who are already confused who will participate in romance dramas. My brother is now in a good momentum, so there is no need to participate in these variety shows."

"Actually, apart from the two romance dramas, there are also several variety shows that have also sent offers." Shen Jianshu took out a notepad from his small bag, "Some are online dramas, some are star variety shows; some invite Xiaoling to be a resident guest, and some are Please be a flying guest."

Chang Xiaosong murmured: "Oh my God, those rumors on Weibo are actually true?"

"sister."

Before Shen Jianshu could say the names of these invited variety shows, Ling Xiu spoke again.

"Actually, at the stage of realization, I don't want to participate in variety shows."

Shen Jianshu was not surprised at what he said.

"I guessed that was your reaction. This is the Ling Xiu I know. Whether I like it or not, I will express it straightforwardly."

"Sister, I want to act." Ling Xiu sat down nervously, with anticipation in his eyes, "Compared with variety show invitations, I want to know which scripts come to me."

Shen Jianshu pursed his lips, took out several folders from his big tote bag, and put them on the coffee table one by one.

"These are the notebooks handed over by the show, you can take a look."

Ling Xiu picked up the top one.

"The Legend of the Heroes of the Fairy and Demons Online Series 1-2 Episodes"

After turning two pages, Ling Xiu frowned and put down the notebook decisively.

He picked up another folder.

"The Domineering Prince Falls in Love with Me Episode 3-5"

This time Ling Xiu only read a page of lines before silently putting down the notebook.

"Why do they seem to be low-cost ancient costume dramas?" Chang Xiaosong, who was sitting next to Ling Xiu, couldn't help complaining, "Is there no reliable drama that is expected to be a star?"

"Yes, there are." Shen Jianshu took out two books from the pile of folders, "These two are expected to be starred, and they are both fairy tale dramas."

Ling Xiu looked at it, and muttered, "Why is the story and character design similar to the one I'm filming now?"

Shen Jianshu's eyes became stern.

She crossed her hands and sighed.

"This is the situation now. The scripts handed over are basically ancient costumes, and those who want you to play the leading role are all low-cost online dramas. Those two dramas that are expected to be stars are not only similar to the genre of "Seeing the Moon in the Sea". , I asked you to act as the male number two. Although it seems a bit cruel, this is the status quo. You are popular now, but you have no coffee position, so you can only receive such a book."

Ling Xiu nodded.

He also understands that in order to establish his status, "Seeing the Moon in the Sea" must be broadcast and he must be popular as the second male number.

"Xiao Ling, what do you think about the issue of accepting the show, we can have an open and honest discussion." Shen Jianshu's tone softened, "It is normal to have difficulties at this stage, let's find a solution together."

Ling Xiu thought for a while.

"Sister, then I'll tell the truth." His upright body stretched even more straight, his expression extremely serious, "These projects don't seem very reliable, and I don't want to take any of them."

"I understand your feelings." Shen Jianshu nodded, "Either it's a low-cost ridiculous web drama, or a fairy-tale drama with repetitive plots and no new ideas. Which one you pick up won't help your career. But I also want to remind you that newcomers in the entertainment industry come out in large numbers, and there will be explosive traffic at any time. You are not a traffic artist, and the current popularity is only temporary. If there are not enough dramas to be broadcast without joining the group, wait for the popularity to go away. You'll go back again."

"If you go back, maybe you won't even be able to get the number one online drama male." Shen Jianshu said and looked at Ling Xiu, "If it gets to that point, can you bear it?"

Ling Xiu didn't hesitate at all.

"If there is no good script, I would rather not act. I hope that the works I perform will be liked by the audience and fans, rather than acting for the sake of acting. Sis, I know what you say is right, but I still don't want to mess with it Just go back and go, at worst, I'll be looking for ways to make money while waiting for the finished script."

He spoke very seriously, with a persistent light shining in his eyes.

Shen Jianshu couldn't help laughing.

"It's not that miserable. After all, you are a person with a company, and the company's resources won't let you completely turn you into an amateur."

After a while, she put away her smile, "Xiao Ling, you are a clear-headed person, and you are not blinded by the momentary heat. I am very happy to hear that you have such high requirements for your career. As an agent, I support your decision. Now there is no good show coming to your door, let's wait. In the process of waiting, if there is a good opportunity, I will I will send out my resume as soon as possible to get you an audition opportunity. If you don’t have a chance, go to acting classes to improve yourself, so that you can seize the opportunity.”

This speech moved Ling Xiu a little.

I always see fans of other actors on the Internet scolding their agents, accusing them of giving actors random plays, and forcing actors to participate in various variety shows for the sake of popularity.

But Shen Jianshu never speaks to him in an orderly tone, always seeks his opinion as soon as possible, and respects his will very much.

He was really lucky enough to meet an agent who supported him unconditionally.

"Sister, thank you."

"I've always said that you are very special, very special." Shen Jianshu smiled and became gentle, "Some people may have their upper limit in this life as a first-line actor, but you are different from them. You have no upper limit. You The possibilities are endless."

"Sister, you know how to praise." Chang Xiaosong clapped his hands, "Sure enough, senior talents are different."

Shen Jianshu glanced at him.

"Still talking here. You haven't done your job lately, and you think I don't know?"

Chang Xiaosong and Ling Xiu looked at each other, looking at the sky.

It's over.

It's time to settle the bill.

Sure enough, Shen Jianshu instantly changed back to Yujie Faner.

She looked at Chang Xiaosong with a stern tone.

"There are still four or five days before the finale. You have to shoulder the responsibility of the assistant and don't let the little messy. When you return to Yunjing after the finale, you will have endorsement materials and foreign filming. You can't be fat or swollen."

"Okay, okay." Chang Xiaosong nodded like a pounding garlic, and immediately promised, "I will definitely pay attention to my brother's diet in the past few days, and I will not feed him unhealthy food again."

Shen Jianshu glanced at Ling Xiu again.

Before she could speak, Ling Xiu quickly took the initiative to express his opinion, "Sister, I will practice better self-management. I will not eat fried skewers and barbecue, and will not drink drinks or shaved ice."

A smile appeared on the corner of Shen Jianshu's mouth, "It's not too bad. In the last few days of shooting, persistence is victory."

……

Two months after entering the Binshan Film and Television Base, Ling Xiu's role was announced to be completed.

Colleagues from the crew held a small farewell party for Ling Xiu in a private restaurant.

After these two months of getting along day and night, no matter whether it is an actor or colleague who is acting in a rival play or a crew member, Ling Xiu and Ling Xiu get along very well.

During the meeting, everyone exchanged contact information and made an appointment to meet again next time.

What surprised Ling Xiu the most was that director Peng Shu also came to the farewell party, and even took the initiative to add his WeChat account.

"It's not easy to persevere as an actor. You have talent, so you have to work hard." When we parted, Peng Shu patted him on the shoulder.

Ling Xiu felt hot in his heart, "Thank you for your encouragement, I will persevere to the end."

After the dinner party, Ling Xiu rushed directly to the airport.

He was going to the studio to shoot commercials tomorrow morning, so he had to take the latest red-eye flight back to Yunjing.

The airport has always been a place with a lot of people, even though it is already nine o'clock in the evening, there are still many people passing through it.

Ling Xiu is different now, in addition to the station sister who followed the plane, many loose fans also rushed to see off the plane.

In order to thank the fans for their support, he patiently signed autographs for them and took the trouble to ask them to be careful when they go back.

The fans were also very polite, and left obediently after sending Ling Xiu into the security checkpoint. Even passers-by said that it was the first time they had seen such an orderly fan group.

After passing through the security check, the surrounding area became much quieter.

The two station sisters who followed the plane never disturbed Ling Xiu, but just stayed quietly in the distance, occasionally taking photos.

While there was still some time to board the plane, Ling Xiu decided to look around.

"Brother, I'm going to fight a team battle soon, so I won't go shopping with you." Seeing that the place is calm and safe, Chang Xiaosong focused on the game at hand.

Ling Xiu nodded, "Okay, you play, I'll go shopping by myself."

There are cafes, restaurants, specialty shops and bookstores in the waiting hall.

After scanning the shops, Ling Xiu decisively walked into the bookstore.

The most conspicuous places in the bookstores at the airport are always success studies and chicken soup for the soul, which looks very similar and suits the tastes of business people.

But this is not the category Ling Xiu is interested in.

He walked to the depths of the bookstore and pulled out a few books related to stock trading from the shelf.

Ling Xiu remembered that Chang Xiaosong said that stock trading is an investment that brings money relatively quickly.

——He never forgot to make money.

Although Shen Jianshu made a solemn promise to him, he was relieved that Ling Xiu's company would not ignore him, and would not let him return to the state of a poor person.

But Ling Xiu was still a little worried.

After all, I don't have a show right now, if I can learn some ways to make money, I will feel more at ease.

Ling Xiu looked around, and finally picked two relatively simple books suitable for novices and paid for them.

After buying the book and returning home, Chang Xiaosong was fully engaged in the game, his fingers kept operating on the screen.

Ling Xiu didn't talk to him, and took out a stock trading book he just bought and read it.

He is always devoted to everything, even reading.

It wasn't until the broadcast reminded to board the plane that Ling Xiu's thoughts were called back from the ocean of stock speculation.

"Brother, board the plane."

Chang Xiaosong put away his mobile phone, took out their ID cards and air tickets from his bag, and pulled up his small suitcase.

"it is good."

Ling Xiu also stuffed the book into his backpack, got up and moved his body.

When he turned his head, he saw the two station ladies behind him looking at him, covering their mouths and smiling happily.

what happened?

Ling Xiu tilted his head in confusion.

Unexpectedly, the two little girls laughed more happily.

One of the short-haired girls gave him a thumbs up, "Brother, inspirational."

Ling Xiu was at a loss.

What kind of trouble is this?

But he thought about it again, it's common for little girls to talk and laugh, so don't worry about it.

……

Taking a red-eye flight is a very traumatic thing for ordinary people, especially if you have to wake up early the next day.

But for Ling Xiu, all the problems are not problems.

At eight o'clock the next morning, he was sitting in the dressing room of the studio in high spirits.

"Oh my god, Teacher Ling." The makeup artist was shocked, "You are glowing all over. Did you go to the beauty salon for skin care yesterday?"

"No." Ling Xiu didn't even know what skin management was.

"That's a natural beauty, you can't be envious." Today's co-worker is a male makeup artist, dressed in fashionable clothes, and he is still a talker, "I didn't say that, Mr. Ling, your skin quality can beat 90.00% of nine point nine artists."

"Do you say that to everyone you see?" Ling Xiu joked.

The male makeup artist shook his head like a rattle, "That can't be done, I'm an honest person. For example, the couple you worked with didn't have good skin."

"Cooperative couple?" Ling Xiu was in a daze, "Who is it?"

The male make-up artist was pouring toner on a cotton pad, he paused, his face full of disbelief, "Mr. Ling, don't you know?"

"Brother, you haven't surfed the Internet since you woke up, right?" Chang Xiaosong, who was drowsy on the sofa, asked, "After the party last night, Brother Duan and Sister Yan were photographed, and they are now being posted on the trending search."

Ling Xiu quickly opened Weibo.

The first hot search is them.

#DUANQIKANGYANLUYUN DRINKED KISS#

What?

Ling Xiu's pupils quake.

After working together for two months, I didn't notice it at all.

Even at the party, the two of them didn't sit together, and they behaved like ordinary friends.

Click on the hot search, the first one is the paparazzi's blog, and the picture was taken.

In the dark scene, Duan Qikang and Yan Luyun hugged first, and then kissed lightly mouth to mouth.

"..." Ling Xiu was speechless for a while.

So this is the exposure of the underground romance?

What shocked him was far more than that.

Today's trending search seems to be a special gossip session. Ling Xiu can see the news about the artist's love affair by swiping the Internet every time he shoots.

Some are ordinary love affairs, some are idols who secretly fall in love and their houses collapse, and some artists cheat and engage in mistresses.

There was a whole mess of hot searches, some were arguing, some were crying and losing fans, and some were scolding that the entertainment industry would sooner or later be destroyed by pills.

"What day is today?" During lunch, Ling Xiu expressed his sincere emotion, "Why are all the hot searches related to entertainment circles like this?"

"Maybe today is World Paparazzi Day." Chang Xiaosong took his food slowly, "All the paparazzi have come out and broke the news, which caused many companies to collapse and many fan circles to be in turmoil. It’s fine if Bo breaks down.”

Ling Xiu originally thought that today's hot searches had nothing to do with him, but Chang Xiaosong told him that he was on the hot searches when he was about to get off work.

"Me?" Ling Xiu was frightened for a while, "I'm not in love, and I haven't made any mistakes, so why is it on the hot searches?"

"No, no, no." Chang Xiaosong waved his hand, laughing out of tears, "Brother, don't worry, you are not on the black hot search. Everyone is rare now."

"what?"

"Go and see, my stomach hurts from laughing."

Ling Xiu was a little apprehensive, but also full of curiosity.

So he clicked on the Weibo app.
