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

Sitting across from Shen Jianshu, Ling Xiu looked at the hill-high pile of documents on the desk, and was momentarily at a loss for words.

In order to wake himself up, he took a deep breath of the ice cream in his hand.

Well, the soul is awakened along with the body.

"These are all the various projects that were delivered in the morning." Shen Jianshu habitually stroked the broken hair next to his ears, and got straight to the point, "There are film and television projects, variety shows, and business cooperation projects."

"So much in one morning?" Chang Xiaosong, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but open his mouth.

"That's right." Shen Jianshu nodded, and pouted at the mobile phone on the table, "There are also some verbal invitations on the phone, which are not counted. You have also seen that the phone is dead because of me."

Ling Xiu remained speechless.

"It's too fierce." Chang Xiaosong was speechless, ""The Moon in the Sea" just started broadcasting yesterday."

"I didn't expect that either. Maybe the people in the circle believed in it too much. Everyone saw Xiaoling's contribution to the ratings last night, and everyone flocked to find him." Shen Jianshu cleared his throat, picked up the cup and drank a few gulps hot water, touched his throat and said: "It's the first time that I lost my throat because of a phone call."

Ling Xiu finally came to his senses at this time.

He picked up a copy from the pile of documents and opened it, and glanced at it casually.

"So they came here because they want me to support the project? For example, this variety show, because the planning is not good, the word of mouth is losing ground, and the ratings are plummeting. They are so anxious to ask me to be the flying guest in the next few episodes. Hope I improve the ratings, right?"

"That's right." Shen Jianshu tapped her slender fingers on the desk, she looked at Ling Xiu, and said what was in her heart.

"Xiao Ling, maybe you think this kind of behavior is too snobbish, but this industry is like this. At best, it is mutual benefit, and at worst, it is mutual use. Mixed entertainment circles are not afraid of being hacked and ridiculed, the most fearful thing is not being popular, It's not even worth using."

Ling Xiu nodded lightly, "Actually, I also know the truth."

"Our business is really hard to find, and there are businesses everywhere." Shen Jianshu comforted, "Think about everything and don't be too distracted. If you meet a suitable project, you can consider participating in it. It will actually be beneficial to you."

As she spoke, she opened the drawer and took out several folders from it.

"These are all reliable projects I picked." Shen Jianshu introduced, "There are two movies, one TV series, and two variety shows. As for business, no matter how high the money is, you can't take it randomly. Otherwise, it will affect your reputation and commercial value."

Ling Xiu took these documents.

"Sister, can I see it now?"

"Of course." Shen Jianshu smiled gently, "I asked you to come to the company to discuss this with you."

……

Ling Xiu carefully looked at each item.

In the end, he pointed to one of the folders, "It's OK to be a flying guest in "The Chamber of Secrets". Their variety shows are doing pretty well, with high popularity on the Internet and many fans. My fans have always wanted me to play the Chamber of Secrets. I haven't participated in variety shows like secret rooms, so I can go and have fun."

Shen Jianshu was not surprised that Ling Xiu chose this.

"Okay. I'll contact the director team later to confirm the contract. But..."

Seeing her hesitant to speak, Ling Xiu asked: "Sister, if you have any questions, just ask."

"That's good." Shen Jianshu pointed to a folder in front of Ling Xiu, "Aren't you interested in this movie project at all?"

Ling Xiu said truthfully, "Not very interested."

The project Shen Jianshu mentioned was "Desperate Journey 2" by Situ Bin, the leading commercial film director.

"Desperate Journey 1", starring actor Liu Ping and a famous young actress, won a high box office of 35 billion in this summer.

Because the actress had trouble with the producers and refused to compromise, she was excluded from the sequel.

This gossip was told to Ling Xiu by Chang Xiaosong.

"Liu Ping's acting skills are excellent, and the popularity of the audience is very good. Coupled with the effect of the first film, the box office of "Desperate Journey 2" will definitely not be bad." Shen Jianshu said calmly, "If you act in this second part, it is equivalent to receiving the actual box office results , this is an opportunity that many young actors can't even ask for, don't you really think about it?"

There is a saying in the film circle: men rely on box office and women rely on awards.

Ling Xiu naturally understands the importance of the box office to him.

But he still lacks interest in participating in the project.

"Sister Shu, let me tell you what's on my mind. There are two reasons why I don't want to play the male number two." Ling Xiu said slowly, "The first reason is that "Desperate Journey 1" is the most important thing. The second fan is someone else, and the acting is still very good. I suddenly joined in the sequel, and the audience would reject it emotionally at first; the second point is that the second male lead is a cynical playboy, with almost no character depth, and the whole process is handsome and awkward. Stupid, I don't like the character."

Shen Jianshu was silent for a while, then raised his eyes.

"Xiao Ling, so you are really not interested in this movie?

Ling Xiu nodded firmly.

Shen Jianshu fell into deep thought again.

Her reaction made Ling Xiu a little uneasy, and began to examine whether he was too willful.

An opportunity that others could not even ask for, but he turned it down so easily.

"Okay, then respect your decision." After a while, Shen Jianshu's tense facial features became relaxed, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned upward, "Xiao Ling, you really are a person with great ambitions, which is different from other people in the circle. "

"That's not it." Chang Xiaosong answered, "Young actors nowadays are eager to go to the box office of big-budget movies. Anyway, it is the best actor and actress who resists the drama. But my brother can handle the ratings by himself. He is a bull. My hands Support him with both feet to choose the role he likes, he is so popular now, he doesn't worry about not having a chance."

"Thank you Sister Shu and the company for supporting me." Ling Xiu felt deeply in his heart, "Sister, you let my wayward time and time again, in fact, sometimes I feel quite embarrassed thinking about it."

Shen Jianshu waved his hand indifferently.

"Every "willfulness" of yours brings good results.Prove that you are smart, decisive and forward-looking.Such a great artist, of course I have to respect my opinion. "

"And my brother has made a lot of money for the company." Chang Xiaosong added solemnly, "Apart from Brother Junyan, my brother has the most business in the company. If I were Mr. Zheng, I would be so happy every day."

Shen Jianshu was amused.

"Mr. Zheng is very happy recently. I went to him to run the company today. He is chasing Xiaoling's drama."

Ling Xiu was a little surprised, "Didn't Mr. Zheng say before that he only watches fast-paced criminal investigation suspense dramas?"

"He didn't want to watch it at first, but after watching it, it was really delicious." Speaking of this, Shen Jianshu's eyes flashed, ""Seeing the Moon in the Sea" is definitely expected to become a hit drama for all age groups."

……

In fact, Ling Xiu had no concept of the explosion of "all ages" at first.

In his opinion, frequent searches, good data on Weibo and various social platforms, more and more good jobs, fans picking up and dropping off the airport, etc. are all signs of being popular.

But he later discovered that his cognition was still somewhat narrow.

At this time, New Year's Day was approaching, and the first snow fell in Yunjing.

The community is covered in silver and is extremely beautiful.

Chang Xiaosong is a child at heart, and wants to have fun when it snows.

Ling Xiu couldn't resist him, so he took Xiao Bai and Chang Xiaosong to play in the community.

As soon as he walked to the open space, several children who were building a snowman suddenly stared at Ling Xiu.

One of the little girls who looked seven or eight years old said, "Brother, are you Su Yimo?"

Ling Xiu was taken aback.

He was wearing a wool cap, and the thick scarf almost covered half of his face, so he could still be recognized?

After a while, he nodded, "Yes, I'm the actor playing Su Yimo."

"The big devil, it's the big devil!" The children became excited, "The big devil actually lives in our community!"

The sound of cheers attracted the attention of others, and several young boys also ran over to watch the fun.

When they saw Ling Xiu, their eyes lit up.

"You are Su Yimo from "Seeing the Moon in the Sea"!?"

"Omg, I'm seeing a star in my life!"

"The big devil is the big devil, even without makeup!"

"Ling Xiu, although I'm also a man, I like you so much!"

To be honest, Ling Xiu was a little confused.

In the past, he would occasionally come to the community for a walk, dressed very casually, even without a mask, but he was hardly recognized by passers-by in the community.

I didn't expect it to be exposed all of a sudden today.

Seeing that more and more people gathered around, attracting everyone's attention, Ling Xiu exchanged pleasantries with everyone, and hurried away with Chang Xiaosong and Xiao Bai.

This walk leads to the gate of the community.

Ling Xiu thought that since he came out, he might as well go to the convenience store outside to buy a cup of coffee.

After all, he hasn't had coffee from this shop for a month.

He asked Xiaosong to lead Xiaobai, and went to the convenience store by himself.

As a result, as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by the uncle squatting on the side of the road smoking.

The uncle looked five or sixty years old, very energetic, and he was so happy to see Ling Xiu that he showed his teeth.

"Young man, are you the devil in that costume TV series?"

Ling Xiu was startled, "Master, do you also watch "The Moon in the Sea"?"

"My wife likes to watch it, so I'll follow along." The uncle said cheerfully, "It's pretty good-looking. Your big devil is very good. My wife really likes this role."

"Thank you for your support, and I wish you a happy life, sir." After thanking Ling Xiu, he continued to advertise, "The TV series will come to an end soon, you and aunt must continue to chase after it."

"That's necessary." The uncle finished smoking and was about to enter the house, he waved cheerfully, "Goodbye, young man."

Ling Xiu smiled brightly, "Goodbye, sir."

……

After returning home, Ling Xiu took the cup of coffee and didn't drink it for a long time.

"Brother, why do you look in a daze." Chang Xiaosong touched him with his elbow, "What are you thinking about so preoccupied that you don't even drink your favorite caramel macchiato."

"It feels a bit unrealistic." Ling Xiu murmured, "It seems like everyone knew me overnight."

"Because you're popular!" Chang Xiaosong smiled until his eyes narrowed, ""Seeing the Moon in the Canghai" is so popular now, and you, as the second male lead who is loved by the audience, are even more popular. Wherever you go If you can be recognized, men, women and children will know you, which proves that you really have nationality."

Ling Xiu was stunned.

"Sure enough, being popular online is not quite the same as being popular in real life."

"Of course." Chang Xiaosong said, "Now you are popular at the level of "all ages" that Sister Shu said.A well-known star and ordinary traffic are not the same concept at all.But brother, I have to say it ten thousand times, you are really super invincible and bullish. "

"It's a non-mainstream description." Ling Xiu came back to his senses and began to drink coffee beautifully.

"Oh, adjectives are not important, let me tell you the business." Chang Xiaosong was very excited, "Nowadays, the first-line entertainers in the entertainment industry either have nationality, but few die-hard fans, and the traffic is average; The popularity is average, and even ordinary people don’t know him; most of the actors are the type with good nationality but lack of traffic. You are different, you have both traffic and nationality, and you have no shortcomings, which is not awesome. ?”

"When you put it that way, it seems to be very powerful." Ling Xiu joked, "I actually admire myself a little bit."

Chang Xiaosong suddenly sighed.

"It's a pity that you have become popular, but the books you sent up are still not particularly good. More than 90.00% of the projects want to squeeze your wool, using your popularity and good luck attributes."

"Don't worry." Ling Xiu looked indifferent, and turned to persuade him: "You... cough cough... Don't we have a proverb that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Calm down and wait, maybe good luck will come soon. "

……

The last day of the New Year's Day holiday is the day when the finale of "Seeing the Moon in the Sea" will be played.

That night, Ling Xiu was still shooting commercials in the studio, so he couldn't watch the live broadcast, and didn't even have time to check Weibo.

Fortunately, Chang Xiaosong, a loyal audience, was watching the TV series, otherwise he would still be a little worried.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when Ling Xiu finished filming the advertisement.

Taking advantage of the makeup artist's time to remove makeup, he hurriedly asked about the situation.

"Tonight's finale has reached a new high in real-time ratings." Chang Xiaosong's face was flushed, and he was so excited that he was like a monkey who couldn't sit still. , Say it yourself, is it bullish or not?"

"It's really a bit powerful." Ling Xiu sighed.

"It's been a new year, and it has achieved high ratings. Maybe it will become the champion of this year's ratings."

"Lend your auspicious words."

"Brother, fans of the drama are very sad for the death of the big devil, and the trending searches about you account for two-thirds of the TV series' trending searches." Chang Xiaosong continued to report the situation, "You keep appearing in the trending searches tonight, really It's too busy."

He couldn't help laughing again as he spoke, "But maybe Sister Shu is the busiest. I think Sister's phone has been blown up again."

This statement is really true.

When Shen Jianshu followed the nanny car to pick up Ling Xiu from get off work, what she was holding was not her usual mobile phone.

When I asked, it was said that the phone was too hot and turned off automatically.

Now I can only take out the spare machine and use it.

Ling Xiu and Chang Xiaosong looked at each other and laughed tacitly.

"It's a good start this year, very good." Shen Jianshu didn't understand what the two were laughing at, and took out a notebook from his bag, "Let me tell you about my recent work plan."

Ling Xiu quickly put away his smile and was serious for a second.

"Sister, say it."

Given that there are still no reliable film and television projects, his recent work mainly revolves around the recording of variety shows, commercial shooting and recording of two evening shows.

After briefly talking about the plan, Shen Jianshu did not relax, but his face became more serious.

"Sister, I will work hard for the recording of the Spring Festival Gala on Satellite TV, and I will definitely not lose the chain on a big occasion." Ling Xiu thought she was worried about this, and quickly promised.

"It's not this." Shen Jianshu said, "It's something else."
