Acting with the Movie King 2
Liu Qiao raised her hand high, but couldn't swing it down, and even took two steps back. She looked into Tao Yuan's eyes, and a sense of fear inexplicably rose in her heart, and she couldn't help but tremble.
"Hit me!" Tao Yuan looked at her, unleashing his system to release pressure. He pointed at his own face and said, "Hit me here. This isn't the first time. But remember this: every slap you give me, I'll return it tenfold!"
Liu Qiao swallowed her saliva. She didn't know why she was so scared. Why couldn't she just hit him directly like before? She even had the urge to kneel down and apologize, but she didn't kneel down because she was trying hard to hold it back.
The newcomers standing by were all frightened. Several girls covered their mouths. It was not known whether they were frightened by what Tao Yuan said or by the tense atmosphere.
Liu Yong pushed the door open and saw the two people's posture. He knew that they were arguing again. He quickly walked over, took Liu Qiao's raised hand and said, "Hey Qiaojie, you are such a big star, why are you arguing with a newcomer like him? Calm down, calm down, I will teach him a lesson in a moment. This kind of thing does not require you to do it yourself, Qiaojie."
Liu Qiao breathed hard, but couldn't calm down. She said to Liu Yong, "I'll give you face and let him go today, but you'd better teach him a lesson, otherwise I won't let him go so easily!"
"Thank you Qiaojie for giving me face. I will definitely teach him a lesson. Don't worry, don't worry. I still have to go for an audition later. I can't be so angry about a person like him that I can't perform normally. Calm down, calm down." Liu Yong advised.
"Cancel his audition and let him go home and reflect on himself first!" Liu Qiao said to Liu Yong in an imperative tone.
"This..." Liu Yong said awkwardly, "I just reported the number of auditions, and it wouldn't be good to cancel it now. You know, this isn't an ordinary crew, and everyone is being cautious. Qiaojie, just be patient. They're just new recruits on trial with a two-year contract. In less than a year, their contract will expire, and it's not certain whether they can be renewed. With Hua Xi's personality, there's probably no hope of renewal, but the company pays them, so they have to do some work, right? Just be patient for a few more months, and soon this person will completely disappear from your sight. It's not worth it for you to be angry with him."
Liu Qiao turned around and glared at Tao Yuan, "This matter is not over yet, just wait!"
Liu Qiao straightened her chest, raised her head, and walked out with her chin up. The anger in her heart could not be dissipated no matter what. She was still regretting that she did not slap him just now.
"What are you all standing there for?" Liu Yong said to the stunned newcomers, "The car is already downstairs, get out."
The newcomers all looked dejected as they left the lounge one after another. The reason they were like this was because Liu Yong's words were exactly what they were worried about.
This company was established not long ago, and the most famous star is Liu Qiao. The competition in the entertainment industry is fierce. If the boss of this company did not have some connections, Liu Qiao would not have been able to enter this company.
The company's idea was to use a batch screening process to select the most promising talent from a large group. If one group proved unsuccessful, they would replace them with another. The company wanted to cultivate its own established stars, as signing established celebrities was difficult. They signed many new hires, but only on short, two-year contracts, essentially a probationary period, with a guaranteed monthly salary.
When their two-year contracts expire, the biggest concern for these newcomers is whether they can stay and renew. Signing with a legitimate agency is difficult these days. Even if the chances of becoming famous are slim, at least there's still a chance. Furthermore, the agency provides a guaranteed minimum salary, comparable to that of a white-collar worker. Leaving the agency only further away from their dreams.
"I'm saying, why don't you learn your lesson? She's taught you a lesson so many times, yet you still want to offend her? Can't you just be patient? Holding your temper for a moment will open up a new world. Just hold this anger inside, and wait until the day you're more famous than she is, and she comes to beg you for help. That's just the reality of the entertainment industry."
Tao Yuan remained expressionless and silent. He knew Liu Yong was doing this for his own good, so he kept silent. But it was impossible for him to tolerate someone like Liu Qiao. Even if he left the company and became an internet celebrity, he would still find fame. As long as he was well-known, getting an acting gig wouldn't be difficult at all.
"This is the last time," Liu Yong shook his head helplessly and said, "If you offend her again, I won't care. Just wait for the contract to expire and leave. I originally thought that among this group of people, you have the best hope of becoming famous. Let's not talk about becoming a first-line star, even being a fourth or fifth-tier star is good. What if one day your luck turns and you get a role that no one else wants and becomes a big hit? But now it seems that your personality is really not suitable for the entertainment industry. If you want to survive in the entertainment industry, you will have to endure a lot of days in the future. This is the rule of the industry."
Liu Yong genuinely wanted to bring someone to the fore. He had no future in constantly managing these newcomers, but even if he wanted to be a manager, he needed someone to manage him. His manager told him that if he could find a promising newcomer, he would be made the manager after signing a formal contract. Otherwise, he would have to become the team leader for a new group of newcomers.
When Tao Yuan and Liu Yong got in the car, the atmosphere was quite tense, and everyone seemed to be preoccupied with their own concerns. Halfway through the journey, someone suddenly started talking about the play they were auditioning for, and everyone forgot their worries for a moment and started discussing excitedly.
"I heard the lead actor this time is Zheng Xuanlin, who has won the Best Actor award three times. He used to only do movies, but this time he's taking on a weekly drama."
"It seems his studio has invested in this drama. Actor Zheng has always valued scripts, so he must have been satisfied with this one, which is why he took on this drama."
"The director and screenwriter of this drama is Xiang Qing. She's a famous director and screenwriter, and she's won countless awards. She's also a director for Guanheng Films. I heard Guanheng invested quite a bit of money in the show. It's a collaboration between Guanheng and Zheng Xuanlin's studio."
"For the likes of us, this drama is unattainable, but for actor Zheng, it's definitely the next best thing. After all, he's a movie star."
"Do you think it's because of Cheng Yi that Actor Zheng took on this drama? If that's the case, it would be so sweet. I'm a huge fan of their couple."
"Didn't Zheng Xuanlin tear up their relationship? He said he and Cheng Yi were just friends and it was impossible for them to develop into a romantic relationship."
"All those big stars are like that. They won't admit it unless they're caught on camera."
"Some people won't admit being photographed. It should be said that as long as they don't want to make it public, they won't admit it."
"Zheng Xuanlin and Cheng Yi are such a good match. It would be great if they were a real couple."
"Team Leader Liu, do you have any gossip? Are Zheng Xuanlin and Cheng Yi together?" a girl asked curiously.
"I do have a piece of gossip, which is that in two or three months, another group of new people will join the company." Liu Yong said expressionlessly, thinking that there was no hope for this group of people, so he should still count on the next batch of newcomers.
The car instantly became quiet, and the atmosphere that had just become lively immediately cooled down again.
Tao Yuan had been resting with his eyes closed. Among the topics they talked about, the only thing that caught his attention were three words: Zheng Xuanlin, his lover in his previous life and the person he wanted to conquer in this life.
