Chapter 326 Encountering Bai Qiujing
Wang Xiangrong's post on Weibo implicitly admitted that he had given the role of the second female lead to Shen Zhichu.
Wang Xiangrong does not have a good personality in the circle. He is as stubborn as a bull and not smooth enough in dealing with things. Once he makes a decision, no one can change it.
His fans who usually support him are confused as to what happened to him?
At one point, fans of the drama, haters, novel fans, and Zheng Xiuxiu's fans all changed their profile pictures to say "Jointly boycott Shen Zhichu"
This is the first large-scale boycott of a female artist in the entertainment industry in recent years.
But for Shen Zhichu, it didn't hurt at all. There was an Internet cable between them. Could they really tear her apart along the cable?
As for the trending search #林琪反馈#, it was because Lin Qi posted on Weibo that she saw Shen Zhichu during the audition that day, so the rumor that Shen Zhichu auditioned for the role of Changmen Hen became true.
But how did Shen Zhichu audition for the third female role and end up snatching the second female role originally intended for Zheng Xiuxiu?
I heard that other people's auditions took a maximum of 20 minutes, but Shen Zhichu spent more than 40 minutes auditioning alone that day, which was twice as long as others. This made people think more.
Shen Zhichu wasn't having an affair with just the director, but with all the producers in the crew.
Shen Zhichu clicked on some comments, and even though she had strong self-control, she was disgusted.
After finishing his breakfast, Shen Zhichu sent an apology to Director Wang on WeChat.
"I'm sorry to put you in a difficult position."
Wang Xiangrong quickly replied to her message.
"Are you up so early? Or did you not sleep all night? Don't worry about the trending searches on Weibo, they're just a small matter. But I've staked my entire life's reputation on you, so you better do your best for me."
Shen Zhichu couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, and her mood suddenly became much more relaxed. She never liked to evade responsibility and would solve any trouble she encountered.
"Director Wang, I've signed up for the variety show 'Actors Arrive'."
Wang Xiangrong: "Okay, do you need me to tell the director over there?"
"They will seize this traffic without you telling them."
Indeed, this time, Shen Zhichu alone led to six hot searches, and everyone was questioning her acting ability. If she signed up for "Actors Arrive", it would definitely cause a sensation, and the program crew would not miss the opportunity to be on the hot search.
That afternoon, Liu Qiang called Shen Zhichu and said, "The program team has agreed to let you go. Come to the company this afternoon to sign the agreement."
"Okay, I understand." Shen Zhichu no longer needed to be polite to Liu Qiang, so he hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Liu Qiang looked at the locked phone with a black screen and felt depressed. He knew that Shen Zhichu's acting skills were obvious to all. Maybe he could really whitewash himself by participating in the variety show this time.
There hasn't been a single good thing happening lately, but a series of bad things have happened. The more I think about it, the worse I feel.
Liu Qiang gripped the phone tightly: Chen Zhichu, don’t let me get any evidence against you, or I’ll kill you.
Unfortunately, luck was always on Shen Zhichu's side, so he could only curse Shen Zhichu in his heart for his bad performance that day.
"The Actors Are Here" is the first domestic motivational program based on competitive acting created by xx Video. The program uses casting as its entry point and full film and television shooting as its presentation form.
While fully presenting the overall industrial picture of the film and television industry from casting to film production, we discover and explore outstanding actors who have firm beliefs in the film and television acting career and are committed to creating high-quality works.
The program is presented by four mentors: Bai Qiujing, Sun Wei, Lu Chaoyang and Chen Chen. It provides a real platform for talented actors to exchange acting skills. Every actor who dares to pursue his dreams can impress the mentors with his strong acting skills and strive for the opportunity to work with the mentors.
The program team officially announced early on that Bai Qiujing will be the program mentor. Originally, not many people paid attention to the variety show, but after hearing that Bai Qiujing had joined, many people followed wb.
The variety show was on the hot search several times before it was even aired, until gossip broke the news that Shen Zhichu would join, which directly pushed the hot topic of "the actors are arriving" to the maximum.
"Damn, Shen Zhichu is such a nuisance. She ruined the TV series and now she's ruining variety shows. I really don't want to see her!"
"This lady has gotten rich recently, even ranking first on the trending search."
"I don't expect anything now. I just hope that Film Emperor Bai won't look at Shen Zhichu any more. I'm afraid she will pollute the Film Emperor's eyes."
"What kind of actor is Chen Zhichu? She's more of an acting genius, but can she act? The production team must be crazy to invite her."
"If she makes it to the next level, I'll eat two pounds of shit live!"
"I took a screenshot upstairs."
“…”
At this moment, Shen Zhichu had already closed the wb message. The program team sent a notice that the recording location was selected in Chengdu and would start next Monday, asking her to prepare in advance.
Shen Zhichu didn't have much luggage. The hotel program team arranged it for her, so she could stay there right away. She only needed to bring three or four sets of clothes.
Chengdu is where she has lived for more than 20 years. She is very familiar with it and can buy anything she needs there very conveniently.
The weather has turned cold recently and the flu has become more serious. Shen Zhichu went to the pharmacy downstairs and bought a few extra bags of masks in advance to take precautions. She also prepared some cold medicine.
Fortunately, it is summer now and the weather is hot, so we wear thin clothes, and a 24-inch suitcase is just right for us.
Chen Zhichu booked a first-class flight for 5 p.m. on Friday. She arrived at the airport an hour early to check in. She was still without makeup, only wearing a mask on her face, and her hair was loose and draped behind her back.
The mask had to be taken off during the machine inspection. When the staff saw her name, they subconsciously looked at her a few more times. Recently, the name "Chen Zhichu" has been on the hot search, so it's hard not to notice it.
The person in front of me should just be someone with the same name, because he is completely different from the heavily made-up celebrity who is on the trending search, and is much more handsome.
After entering, Shen Zhichu put on a mask and waited in the waiting hall for more than ten minutes. After hearing the notification, he lined up with the crowd to board the plane.
There were four people in the first class cabin, including Shen Zhichu. After finding a seat and sitting down, Shen Zhichu asked the flight attendant for a glass of warm water and a blanket.
It takes at most three hours to fly from J City to Chengdu, and you will arrive around eight o'clock.
Chen Zhichu was the first to enter first class through the dedicated channel. After lying down for a while, she took out her phone and checked Weibo. Her name was still on the trending search, and alongside her were #ActressArrival# and #BaiQiuJing#
Shen Zhichu casually clicked on Bai Qiujing's hot search, which was about his recent schedule news.
Bai Qiujing flew from J City to Chengdu today to record "Actors Arrive"
Before Shen Zhichu could react, he heard a noise behind him. He glanced over inadvertently and then stopped.
………
Bai Qiujing's itinerary has always been very secretive. Fans only know that he flew to Chengdu today but don't know the exact time. However, this alone caused quite a stir, and fans waited at the airport before dawn.
But unfortunately, Bai Qiujing's disguise skills were too strong, and he boarded the plane through the dedicated channel without attracting any attention.
He doesn't like to bring too many people with him when he travels, and only his agent accompanies him.
Bai Qiujing entered the entertainment industry two and a half years ago. He won a grand slam with his first movie and attracted countless fans with his excellent acting skills and handsome looks.
While the stars who debuted at the same time as him were still figuring out their acting skills, he reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted.
In just two years, he starred in a total of three movies, all of which rated above 8.8.
When others thought he relied on his looks to make a living, he chose to rely on his actual strength, which was so strong that he truly lived up to the reputation of "When Bai Qiujing appears, there is no bad movie".
His films have strong appeal. His first low-budget movie reached a box office of 2 billion yuan. The second one doubled in size to 4 billion yuan due to the reputation of the previous one. The latest movie has reached 5 billion yuan and its box office index is still rising, dominating the summer vacation season.
His family background has not been revealed yet. The more it is revealed, the more it shows that his background is strong. For example, he is the kind of rich young master who will go home and inherit billions of assets if he can't make it in the entertainment industry.
People like Bai Qiujing can be summed up as a talented and chosen one, the protagonist living in a novel.
His agent eagerly followed him and took a seat. "Brother Bai, Director Liu is planning a movie recently. He even contacted me last night and said he'd give me the leading male role. I took a look at the script and thought it was good. The pay is also high. Would you like to take a look?"
"What kind?"
"Xianxia."
"No."
"Why?" the agent wondered.
"The domestic Xianxia script is okay, but the special effects are not good. The filming looks like a PowerPoint presentation. Besides, Director Liu is not suitable for Xianxia."
This is criticized in China. The money was all used to hire actors. The investment was limited, and the bulk of it was divided. What special effects could be made with the remaining money? It was perfunctory, and in the end, the fans were just being fleeced and the film was just selling sentiments.
"You say it's not suitable, so it's not suitable? You haven't seen it yet. Director Liu is very popular this year. He just won an award not long ago. So many people want to work with him, and do you know how much the film company paid for the film?" The agent raised three fingers.
Bai Qiujing sneered, "I've seen Director Liu's movies. They're too rigid. He won awards entirely because of the support of his peers. You should stop speaking in his favor. I, Bai Qiujing, never look at the pay when I accept a movie."
The agent sighed helplessly, "We're already halfway through the year. If you don't take on any more work, you won't have any films released next year. Do you want to keep your fans waiting for a year or two?"
To say I don't complain is a lie. What agent doesn't like an obedient artist? Bai Qiujing's salary is high, and his commission for the division of labor is also high.
Other agents envied him for holding a big money-making tree, but only he knew that he was just an errand boy who could not influence Bai Qiujing's thoughts and was not even as good as his assistant.
He muttered to himself, "I don't know what variety show you're on. It's such a waste of time."
There is a chain of discrimination in the entertainment industry. Those who act in dramas look down on those who act in movies, those who act in movies look down on those who act in TV dramas, and those who act in TV dramas look down on variety show actors.
Bai Qiujing raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly. The corners of his mouth turned up and he looked like he was smiling, but for some reason he gave people a murderous aura. The agent immediately shut up and sat up straight, feeling very uncomfortable.
Bai Qiujing was not used to having his freedom of life controlled by others, but he himself was controlled by the Bai family.
