Chapter 22 If you are willing, the heroine can be you!
"Then don't accept it." Chen Tang finally smiled. "I just want to audition for today's skit. I want to establish myself step by step with my acting skills, not these things that make me feel uneasy."
Yang Xihua also saw her pragmatism and nodded:
"It's a good thing this way. You've only just become famous. Accepting interviews at this time will make people think you're eager to capitalize on the popularity, which may cause some passersby to be disgusted."
"If you want to be an actor, of course it's better to rely on your works, that is, your acting skills, to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, rather than relying on these things."
"Although you have played many roles before, they were all small roles with very few lines. They don't count as works. You still need to have some works first."
Hearing this, Chen Tang also nodded: "That's what I think, at least there must be a work first."
Otherwise, she will feel like it is a castle in the air that may collapse at any time.
So, Yang Xihua helped Chen Tang decline all interviews.
After refusing, Yang Xihua said:
"They're all fans of your looks. Even if you don't accept interviews, your popularity and fame will still be there. As the saying goes, your face is your kingdom."
"Plus, your fan base is skyrocketing, and your acting is pretty good. I'm sure someone will soon hand me a script and want you to star in it."
"In the future, we probably won't need to look for roles ourselves. We can just pick out good scripts from others and act in the roles we want."
Chen Tang immediately said, "This is also what makes me happy."
This is the good thing about being red.
There are so many more choices than when I was not popular.
"There's one more thing." Yang Xihua said again.
"What's up?"
"You have so many fans now, so I definitely can't be your only agent for travel. As your agent, I'm even busier and can't take care of you every moment. So, I have to hire someone else, at least a driver and an assistant."
"You can make the decision on these matters," Chen Tang said.
Yang Xihua nodded. The next second, he suddenly asked, "Then can I hire my relatives too?"
"Huh?" Chen Tang was a little stunned.
Yang Xihua laughed and said:
"It's really because Mr. Fu said that he was going to smother you to death and that he was his wife. Otherwise, you have to bring a lot of bodyguards with you when you go out, and you don't like it. I'm not sure if I can hire someone else. After all, the assistant and driver will definitely come to this mansion with you often."
Thinking of the scene where he would bring a large number of bodyguards, Chen Tang was silent for two seconds, then nodded quickly, "Okay, as long as your relative is willing and trustworthy, then hire your relative."
It’s better not to bring a large number of bodyguards if you can.
It felt like doing anything like that would be too inconvenient and too conspicuous.
“OK.”
Yang Xihua ticked this item on her notebook before continuing:
"As for bodyguards, if you need them in the future, just pick two from your home to go out with you. You have so many bodyguards at home, they are definitely more trustworthy than those hired from outside, and they are more able to protect the fact that you are Mr. Fu's wife."
This family of yours is the Fu family.
The Fu family has a lot of bodyguards. When you open the window and look around, you can see them everywhere in the mansion.
If we hire bodyguards from outside, there is no insurance as long as the ones provided by the Fu family.
What's more, when she really needs to take a bodyguard with her when she goes out, it must be dangerous for her to travel, so she must have a bodyguard with her.
She still values her life very much and won't be willful about this.
Chen Tang nodded quickly, "Okay, if you really need me, I'll tell Fu Tingyuan and I'll take the two out."
But I also sighed in my heart.
Although she wanted to make a clear distinction between herself and Fu Tingyuan, she was now Fu Tingyuan's wife and it was really impossible to do so.
Seeing that it was time to go out and audition for the short play, Chen Tang went out with Yang Xihua.
Short plays are not as complicated as big productions or long dramas, and auditions are not that complicated either, they are very simple.
But Chen Tang was still extremely well prepared.
Chen Tang originally thought that she would have to audition no matter how simple it was when she arrived at the audition site. However, as soon as she arrived, the director of the short play immediately came up to her and said:
"Chen Tang, is it really you?! When I saw the registration form, I thought we had the same name! Have you seen how many followers you have on Weibo now? Why are you still auditioning? We can't afford you."
"The most we can offer you is 30,000 yuan a day, but you're so popular now, and all your fans are active fans. I've already asked the company if we can offer you 50,000 yuan a day."
Before he could finish his words, the short play director received a call from the company saying that his application had been approved.
I can give Chen Tang 50,000 yuan a day, but that’s a maximum of 50,000 yuan, the company can’t give more.
After all, the company is not a big one, and it usually only costs a few hundred thousand to shoot a short drama.
The director of the skit immediately told Chen Tang:
"You should have heard what I just said. I can give you 50,000 yuan a day, but I don't know if you're willing. If you are, the heroine will be you!"
Chen Tang still asked very politely: "Don't you need to audition?"
"Why do you even need an audition?" the director said honestly. "You look like this, and you managed to audition for the fourth female role in 'City Smoke'. Obviously, your acting skills are also good. Even if you don't have the acting skills, I guess your fans will be willing to pay for your face."
Chen Tang: “…”
I'm starting to doubt whether this director's films are any good.
Or Yang Xihua whispered in Shen Tang's ear:
"I've checked everything. Director Zhou is just too honest, but the quality of what he produced is still comparable to that of a high-quality feature film."
In such a short time, they were able to produce something of quality comparable to a high-quality feature length drama. Regardless of whether the thing becomes a hit or not, it shows that they really have the ability.
And since Sister Yang had checked everything, Chen Tang no longer had any doubts.
Besides, she really liked the heroine in the short play and wanted to play the role, so she came to audition.
Chen Tang then said to Director Zhou:
"I've read the script for your skit, and I really like the female lead. 50,000 yuan a day, that's fine."
In fact, if she had come for the audition before yesterday, she would probably have been able to get two to three thousand yuan a day.
Another advantage of becoming famous is that you can earn more money.
"That's great, great!" Director Zhou was overjoyed.
Then, Director Zhou hurriedly said:
"Our short drama is adapted from a popular novel. Filming will begin next week, in three days. It should be finished in five days and will be online in about a month. If all goes well, it may even be online earlier. If you have no objection to this, let's sign the contract."
Chen Tang had no objection, "Okay."
Then it’s time to look at the contract.
Once you become famous, you will have a say.
Even though Director Zhou didn't know Yang Xihua and didn't know that there was a big boss behind Chen Tang, when he heard that some parts of the contract needed to be changed, Director Zhou thought it was okay to change them and it wouldn't have much impact, so he agreed immediately without even asking the company.
