Chapter 255 Sisterly Love
As the lights come on, the city of Beiping is gently wrapped in the night. In a luxurious and high-end KTV box, the lights are flickering and jumping, and dynamic music rises and falls, surging out from the speakers.
Several graceful female stars sat lazily on the sofa, holding microphones in their hands, their delicate faces all filled with excited smiles.
They are none other than the seven sisters of the "Teddy Sisters" who have been a hot topic in the entertainment industry recently.
At this moment, the eldest sister Qin Lan is immersed in the world of music, singing with deep emotion the song "Dou Xiang" which was popular in the streets and alleys last year.
Her voice was melodious and moving, and the other sisters sang along quietly, cheering and applauding from time to time.
After singing a song, Qin Lan put down the microphone reluctantly, picked up the juice on the table and took a sip to moisten her throat, and then her cheeks flushed with excitement.
"Have you heard? The audition for the TV version of 'Myth' is scheduled for April 5th! With an investment of 50 million, this is a rare big production in the industry."
Huo Siyan nodded vigorously, her eyes revealing her eagerness to try: "I'm already preparing, and I'll submit my resume to the crew tomorrow.
This drama is jointly produced by Dongying, Emperor Entertainment Group, and Tengda Culture. It is a powerful combination. If we can get the leading actress, and she performs well, it will definitely be a big hit.”
Li Xiaolu leaned back on the sofa, thinking: "For such a big production, the competition must be very fierce. I guess half of the actresses in the circle will go for the audition. Besides, we don't know the inside situation, so it's very difficult to stand out."
Those present are all veterans in the entertainment industry, so they naturally understand how watered-down the auditions are. On the surface, they seem fair, but in fact, they are fraught with mysteries.
While everyone was discussing, the fifth sister Gan Wei looked mysterious and deliberately kept everyone in suspense: "Sisters, I have good news for you!"
Xiong Naijin couldn't hold back her curiosity and shook her best friend's arm anxiously: "Weiwei, tell us now, don't keep us in suspense."
Several other sisters also turned their attention to Gan Wei. Everyone knew that the fifth sister had a good marriage. She married Mr. Jia, the boss of LeTV, last year and transformed herself into a wealthy lady that everyone envied.
Gan Wei's face was bright and her heart was filled with pride. She liked the feeling of being surrounded by sisters and being the center of attention.
He paused deliberately for a while, whetting everyone's appetite, before finally speaking: "Sisters, the audition for Myth is fair.
Wang Luodan and Lv Yi from Tengda Culture didn't have time. The Hong Kong female artists under Emperor Entertainment Group have been in a slump since last year's incident, and the only one who can be used, Bai Bing Dongying, doesn't like them.
The three production companies were deadlocked, so after negotiation, they specially invited Big Brother Chenglong to organize an open audition. So this time, everyone will rely on their own abilities to audition. "
"Sister Weiwei, is this what your brother-in-law told you?" Seventh sister Yang Mi pouted.
I secretly thought that everyone should pray that Liu Shishi, the person with the most resources in the circle, would not make a move, otherwise the other actresses would just be runners-up.
Although Boss Jia has some power, he is far from the richest man, and he probably can't find out what Song Ci is doing.
Gan Wei nodded slightly. Her boss Jia had originally intended to acquire the online copyright of "The Myth", so he made a special effort to investigate the drama. Unfortunately, the copyright had already been seized by TT Video Network, a subsidiary of Tenda.
Qin Lan obviously didn't want to continue singing at this time. She acted like a leader and said to the sisters seriously:
“Since this is a relatively fair audition, I think everyone of us has a chance, the key is to find the feeling of the role.
How about we practice tonight and give each other some advice. No matter who passes the audition, the sisters should sincerely wish her the best!"
Naturally, the few of them would not refuse their eldest sister's favor. They had all seen the movie version of "The Myth", so they stood up, stretched their bodies, and prepared to start an impromptu performance.
As everyone was gearing up for the fight, Yang Mi felt the vibration in her jeans pocket, took out her cell phone, and saw that it was Zeng Jia calling. She hurriedly said to her sisters, "I'll take a call and be right back."
After saying that, he hurriedly pushed the door open and walked out of the box. He came to the corridor, looked around, and found a secluded corner to answer the phone.
In the box, Xiong Naijin looked at Yang Mi's departing back, rolled his eyes, and muttered quietly: "You have to avoid the sisters to answer the phone, so secretive."
Li Xiaolu crossed her arms and raised her head slightly. "Speaking of which, Mimi has a great chance of auditioning for the drama Myth. She was just selected as one of the Four Little Flowers and is very popular, which is a huge plus.
Moreover, she had played the role of Wang Zhaojun in CCTV's drama before. Her ancient costumes from the Qin and Han dynasties were very attractive, which would undoubtedly impress the director."
Listening to Li Xiaolu's very professional comments, the girls had different thoughts and a hint of hostility arose in their hearts.
This was also true for Qin Lan, who had just vowed to bless each other and seemed very generous.
A big production worth 50 million. Don’t say that they are just sisters in name only. Even if they are real sisters, they will tear each other apart for you to see.
Gan Wei felt that she was superior to others, and with the confidence of marrying into a wealthy family, she said nonchalantly, "Mi Mi is very popular, so it is reasonable for her to win the female lead of "Mythology"."
"She's not the only one among the Four Little Flowers. The votes for the two Lius far exceeded hers. Maybe Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi will also audition!"
Li Xiaolu's tone was sour, and one could feel the strong jealousy at the first sound.
She felt quite unhappy. She had finally become the Golden Eagle Goddess last year, which is an official award. However, her popularity was still far inferior to that of the four young actresses today.
When voting took place, she only ranked eighth, which led some netizens to mock her as the "Water Queen", which made her very angry.
Huo Siyan thought for a while and said: "It is unlikely that Liu Yifei will go for the audition. The "Fairy Sister" is very proud and arrogant. After filming "The Forbidden Kingdom", she announced that she would no longer take on TV dramas and would focus on developing in the film industry. This time, she will not look back.
But it's hard to say who the No. 1 actress of Tangren is. She is known as the chosen one of the ancients, and her ancient costumes are her forte. The key is that it is said that she has a close relationship with the top management of Tengda. With this analysis, Liu Shishi is indeed the strongest competitor for the female lead of "Myth".
When talking about Liu Shishi, Qin Lan looked envious: "Tangren Films is really good at marketing. They say things like "chosen by heaven", "gentle as a chrysanthemum", "ceiling of etiquette in the entertainment industry", etc. The key is that netizens buy into this. Liu Shishi has millions of fans, which is really enviable."
Li Xiaolu nodded in agreement: "So the times in the entertainment industry have changed. You have to know how to market and hype yourself up. There is no future in just acting. Now as long as you have exposure and appear on more trending searches, people will pay attention to you.
If people pay attention, there will be popularity, and the crew and brands will buy it. Look at the four young actresses and four young actors this time, each of them has an endorsement, this is the benefit of popularity. "
Xiong Naijin's eyes were rolling around, and she was already planning in her mind how to show off their sisterhood and take advantage of Yang Mi's popularity.
Outside the box, the lights were dim. Yang Mi leaned against the wall and put the phone to her ear: "Jia Jie."
"Why is it so noisy over there? Is it convenient to talk?"
Yang Mi blocked the noise with her hands: "It's convenient, Jiajie, you can tell me. My friends and I are singing in the KTV!"
"I've been so busy lately that I only remembered to talk to you on the phone today. I haven't had time to congratulate you on becoming one of the Four Little Flowers."
Yang Mi looked distressed: "Don't mention it. I still feel bad about the money I spent on ticket purchases. It's not easy for me to earn money in the past few years."
The fierce vote-buying war among the four young actresses last month still scares her. Wang Luodan is the face of Tengda Culture’s female stars, and the cost of voting must be paid by the company, so she has no pressure at all.
Liu Yifei debuted and became famous early, and the piggy bank she has accumulated over the years must be full. What's more, she has a wealthy godfather, so a few votes will only be a drop in the bucket.
Not to mention Liu Shishi. Even if it wasn't Tangren Film and Television that paid for it, it was paid by swiping the richest man's card.
She was alone and helpless. Rong Xinda ignored her because his contract was about to expire. In order to maintain the top four, she spent all the money in her wallet. Whenever she thought about it, she felt angry.
Zeng Jia comforted him, "It's just a little money. There's no reward without effort. It's all worth it. The endorsement is here! Well, I came to you for something serious."
Yang Mi's face tightened: "Jia Jie, you talk, I'm listening."
Zeng Jia didn't waste any time and directly stated his intention: "I have inquired about "The Myth", and Liu Shishi, the female lead, is not playing the role. You can give it a try.
CCTV has already booked this drama, so I think the ratings won't be bad. With your comprehensive qualifications, plus Cheng Long knows you, I think you have a great chance of getting the leading female role."
"I was planning to go for the audition. I was worried about Liu Shishi at first, but now I feel completely relieved."
Yang Mi was delighted that Liu Shishi, the biggest resource-rich girl, would not compete with her. She thought that none of the new generation of female stars could rival her.
Zeng Jia reminded him again: "I'm telling you this news because I hope you can prepare for the audition seriously."
"It's a rare opportunity, I know the importance of it."
"By the way, let me ask you something?" Zeng Jia's tone was full of gossip. "Did you not get closer to Song Ci during the long trip to Switzerland last time?"
"Song Ci doesn't pay much attention to us."
Zeng Jia shook his head, looking regretful: "I gave you the opportunity but you didn't use it. I didn't expect you to steal Liu Shishi's girl, but at least you can become her acquaintance and leave a good impression."
“Sister Jia, Song Ci is really not interested in us female stars, I can’t belittle myself.
A man of his status and position, coupled with that incredibly handsome face, no woman could refuse him if she was really interested.
"There are three thousand rivers, but I only take one scoop. I only love Liu Shishi, so it's hard for me to get close to her."
Yang Mi had no way of expressing her pain. She was in love with Hu Ge at that time, so it was obviously not appropriate for her to show too much enthusiasm for Song Ci.
Moreover, Liu Shishi was too wary of her, and she didn't even have many opportunities to talk to Song Ci, so how could they get closer?
"Forget it, forget it. I was just saying it casually. You, like me, are destined to be a hard worker. Let's just fight for our own careers." Zeng Jia smiled helplessly and ended the conversation.
Yang Mi also sighed. Since she had chosen the path to enter the entertainment industry, she would never give up until she achieved success.
Yang Mi returned to the private room, where the warm yellow light was pouring down. She saw several young ladies gathered together and chatting enthusiastically. The atmosphere was very intense. She walked over and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"
Huo Siyan showed a sly look in her eyes, and she explained with a smile: "Mi Mi, come quickly! Isn't it popular in the circle to invest in celebrities now? I think we can't afford to invest in large film and television projects.
But why don’t we sisters raise funds to start a trendy brand? Online stores are very popular now. When the time comes, we can mobilize our fans and I think the business will be good.”
Yang Mi became alert immediately after hearing that. They usually sang and had meals together, and the sisters were pretty close. It was impossible to ask her to pay.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart, are you Huo Siyan the material for doing business? You even mobilized your fans. The fans of you all combined are not as many as mine. You want me to pay money and suck the blood of my fans. You treat me like a three-year-old child and fool me.
Speaking of investment, Yang Mi immediately recalled her last trip to Switzerland, when she was looking forward to asking the richest man how to make money. Although Boss Song was lukewarm about her, he still gave her a suggestion: "Buy a house."
Even if she didn't care about Shishi's face, the richest man would not cheat a little star like her. So she had been paying close attention to the housing prices in Beijing during this period.
You really don’t know until you check. Once you check, you will be shocked. After the millennium, the housing prices in the capital have been rising almost every year and every month. Especially after the Olympic Games, in just half a year, the prices have almost doubled.
She was so scared that she quickly bought a house. If the housing prices continued to rise like this, the salary she earned from filming a movie would only be enough to buy a toilet on the Third Ring Road.
At this moment, it was time to show off her acting skills. Yang Mi looked worried and sighed, "Second sister, I am really powerless when it comes to investment.
I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I spent a lot of money on the previous vote-buying, and the agency took away most of the endorsement fee for the new endorsement. Now I'm penniless and my pockets are cleaner than my face."
Originally, a few people were planning to eat at the rich man's house, but now seeing Yang Mi crying poor, they naturally didn't want to give up.
Huo Siyan still had a smile on her face as she held Yang Mi's fair and tender little hand. Her grip was a little too strong, as if she was secretly competing with her.
"Seventh sister, there's no rush. Your contract is about to expire. I think no matter which agency you change to, the new agency will always give you a signing fee when the four young actresses join. When you have enough money, just support your sister a little bit."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Mi laughed in anger, feeling even more dissatisfied. Good fellow, you have even calculated the signing fee for my next club, so you are sure to take advantage of me!
But looking around, she realized that she was outnumbered and had no particularly close relationship with any of her other sisters.
Helplessly, Yang Mi could only pretend to be polite and deal with it for the time being, forcing a smile on her face:
"Second sister, don't worry, I will definitely support you in launching a trendy brand. When your brand launches new products, I will definitely mobilize my fans to buy them."
Seeing Yang Mi's fake smile, Huo Siyan felt unhappy. It's just that the four little beauties have many fans. Why are you so crazy? Sooner or later, I will give you a hard time and make you fall flat on your face.
