Chapter 735 The most important thing to do in life is to have a background
In Shanghai, the Rocket Girls, who had just finished a performance, returned to the lounge to remove their makeup and change clothes.
Last year, these eleven beautiful girls officially debuted at the group formation night of the "Produce 101" finals, and then began their journey as a girl group under the arrangement of "Wajijiwa".
In the first month, they released the group single "Rocket Girls", and then Gu Wei authorized them to sing the theme song "Calories" from "The Richest Tomato", and Yang Chaoyue also fatefully shouted the broken voice "Burn my calories!"
Then in August, Rocket Girls released their first mini album "Crash", which included 4 songs including "Light" and "Born to Win".
On the 19th of the same month, they won the 2018 Most Popular Group Award at the Asia New Songs Chart.
In the following year, Rocket Girls participated in various variety shows, sang OSTs for many film and television dramas, actively participated in various evening parties, and held their own concerts.
Although the members worked very hard, their fame and fans gradually accumulated.
".Chao Yue, you're working hard again!"
Meng Meiqi came out after changing her clothes and saw Yang Chaoyue reading the script in his hand. Her tone was full of envy and jealousy.
"I'll be joining the crew in two days, so it's better to sharpen your sword before the battle.
Otherwise, if you don’t perform well, you’ll be scolded to death by your boss!”
Yang Chaoyue took his eyes off the script and said with a smile.
"It seems your company has already planned your future. It's different having a superstar as your boss. Unlike us, we still don't know what to do after the two-year contract with Rocket Girls ends."
Wu Xuanyi walked over, her tone full of sourness.
She has always looked down upon Yang Chaoyue, thinking that she is bad at singing and dancing, and that she would never have made her debut if she didn't have her boss Gu Wei backing her up.
Moreover, after they formed the girl group, Yang Chaoyue always had some extra resources in addition to the work arranged by the team.
Currently, she is the most famous among the eleven members of Rocket Girls.
"Isn't your agency Lehua? Even if the girl group disbands, Lehua will still take care of you.
What? Your boss doesn't want to support you? "
Yang Chaoyue is not the type of person who allows others to bully her. Although she has a low level of education, she has already developed a sharp tongue after entering the society.
She knew that many people in the team looked down on her, but she didn't take it seriously. A college girl's dormitory with four people could have five groups, not to mention their eleven-person girl group.
"Of course not." Wu Xuanyi retorted.
"That's right. We've all signed contracts with the company and are all new employees, so of course we have to follow the company's arrangements regarding work."
Yang Chaoyue rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "I understand! Lehua's strength cannot be compared with [Wei Ming Tian Xia], and there are too many artists who debuted in girl groups under its umbrella, so there are definitely not enough resources to share.
Not to mention others, you and Meng Meiqi are very similar in appearance.
Lehua gave her a chance but couldn't give it to you."
After Yang Chaoyue finished speaking, Wu Xuanyi and Meng Meiqi, who were originally in the same camp, looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Lies don't hurt people, only the truth hurts people.
Although Yang Chaoyue was suspected of instigating trouble, what she said made a lot of sense.
The two people who belong to the same company and both debuted in girl groups are in a naked competitive relationship. On the contrary, they have no conflict of interest with Yang Chaoyue, who is not from the same company.
Meng Meiqi frowned, turned around and said, "Don't talk about us, you are not the only female artist in Weiming Tianxia.
Zhang Tianai, Guli Nazha, and the recently popular Meng Ziyi, your competitors are much better than us! "
"You flatter me too much!
With my current level of fame, what qualifications do I have to compete with these top actresses under [Wei Ming Tian Xia]?
I've only been in the industry for a year and don't have any works yet.
Sister Tian Ai is a billionaire actress, and Sister Nazha has also been popular for many years.
But why should I compete with them?"
Yang Chaoyue blinked his innocent eyes and said in an infuriating tone, "My company's boss is Gu Wei, and he has so many resources that he can't even use up all the artists in his own company.
Just leaving out some of the edges and corners is enough for me to eat.
Just like the drama I’m taking on now.”
As she spoke, she shook the script in her hand.
"In this huge production starring Gu Wei, Chen Daoming and Jing Tian, I was able to play a small supporting role, which is something that countless young actors in the industry would envy.
You guys at Lehua might not even get a chance to audition~"
"You" Meng Meiqi and Wu Xuanyi were furious, but they couldn't say anything to refute.
The two helpless people turned around and walked out of the lounge.
Yang Chaoyue snorted as he watched them leave, his lips curled up in disdain.
"I used to be the most quarrelsome of the women in the sewing factory. If you fight me, I won't tolerate your bullying."
"Did you quarrel with them again?" Fu Jing walked over.
"I saw Meng Meiqi and Wu Xuanyi walk out with angry faces. We are all a team, working together every day, and harmony is the most important thing in everything."
When they were recording "Produce 101", Fu Jing and Yang Chaoyue were in the same dormitory and they have always had a good relationship.
Although she also envied Yang Chaoyue's personal resources that far exceeded theirs, Fu Jing understood that it was normal for him to be promoted by his own company, and this was the case for all artists in the entertainment industry.
"It wasn't my initiative. I was reading the script and they came over and said some sarcastic things.
I won’t get used to it.”
"You" Fu Jing shook her head helplessly, and then saw the script in Yang Chaoyue's hand.
"Is this the drama your boss started filming a while ago, the Joy of Life? "
"Yes, that's it. Because of the company, I got a supporting female role in it." Yang Chaoyue nodded.
Fu Jing's eyes were filled with envy: "Why didn't I think of trying out for [Wei Ming Tian Xia]? If I had a chance to be signed, I wouldn't have to worry about my future career."
"I remember your agency, Sister Jing, is called Banana Entertainment, which is quite well-known."
Fu Jing shook her head: "It's far behind, not to mention compared with [Wei Ming Tian Xia], it's even far inferior to [Wajijiwa] that we have signed a contract with now.
After the girl group disbanded, I had to find a job, and the company had basically no resources to give me.
Especially in the field of film and television, there is basically a blank."
Speaking of this, she remembered something.
"By the way, thank you for helping me get the opportunity to play the role of Feng Ming. If it weren't for your recommendation, I would never have had the opportunity to play this role."
Yang Chaoyue waved his hand.
"Don't worry about it. I just met with the director and producer and they said they were short of some actors, so I recommended you. Mainly because you look the right person, Sister Jing."
Fu Jing smiled and said, “There are many people with the right image, but opportunities are rare.
Your recommendation is the most important!"
After saying this, she also had some doubts:
"Is the relationship between Tengxun Video and you [Weiming Tianxia] so good?
At the beginning of the year, we asked you to film a movie called "Extreme 17: Flying with You" and now you have this movie called "Hear the Phoenix."
Yang Chaoyue is the female lead in both dramas, and both are controlled by Penguin.
"I once heard Mr. Yang from our company say that a few years ago, Tengxun Video started to produce its own dramas, but they were short of relevant talent, and it was our company that helped them set up this business.
In addition, the boss has always maintained a good cooperative relationship with them, so many of Tengxun Video’s dramas will first invite the actors of [Wei Ming Tian Xia].”
"No wonder, I envy you again.
Why did you leave the group to film Joy of Life?
“I’m leaving tomorrow, I don’t have many scenes, I’ll be back in about a month.
This is my first time working with a boss, and to be honest I’m quite nervous.”
"Why are you so nervous? This is an opportunity that many celebrities in the entertainment industry would envy!"
"I'm not the heroine, Jingtian is"
"It's okay to play a supporting role. It's easy to become famous in a hit drama!"
"Borrow your good words"
Yang Chaoyue got the role of "Ye Ling'er", the daughter of Ye Zhong, the garrison commander of Nanqing Kyoto and a good friend of Lin Wan'er.
This role does not have too many scenes. The original actor was a relatively unknown little actor. After "Joy of Life" became a hit, it was replaced by Jin Chen.
However, Jin Chen's thin figure and sharp face were really unable to support the role, and he was ridiculed by netizens.
Yang Chaoyue's image is relatively suitable, but as for her acting skills, she has a very strange characteristic. The works in which she plays the leading role usually end in failure, but once she plays a supporting role or even a guest appearance, it is as if her Ren and Du meridians are opened, and her acting skills soar. Not only can she gain recognition from the audience, but her popularity and reputation will even surpass that of the leading role.
For example, the goddess in the original time and space [Ever Night 2], Dong Ruoxuan in [Chang'an Nuo], Du Juan in [Ideal City], Zhai Miao in [My Human Fireworks] and Jiang Ruoyu in [Mo Yu Yun Jian].
Some of these TV series performed very well, like "In the Clouds of Mo Yu", while others were ridiculed, such as "My Human Fireworks", but the roles played by Yang Chaoyue in them were widely acclaimed.
Ye Ling'er doesn't have many scenes, but I believe that with the guidance of the director and the watchful eyes of her boss Gu Wei, her performance won't be too bad.
[Joy of Life] crew.
After a scene where Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er met on the street in a carriage was finished, the actors came out of the venue and waited for the crew to move on.
Jingtian was wearing a white long dress in ancient costume, and Yang Chaoyue was following her in a red dress.
There were also Tian Xiwei and Guo Qilin who got off another carriage.
Fan Xian was not present in this scene. Gu Wei was resting in the rest area nearby, drinking tea and reading the script for his next scene.
"Boss, Juguo Entertainment sent a message through Wanda, saying that they apologize for the whole thing and hope that you can delete that Weibo post." Yang Dan walked over.
Juguo Entertainment is Wang Dalu’s agency, and its parent company is in Taiwan.
Gu Wei put down the script in his hand and asked, "I feel sorry. Have you apologized publicly?"
"No~"
"What kind of apology is that? They just told me to delete my Weibo post with empty words. How dare they be so arrogant!
What does Wanda mean?"
"Wanda is one of the investors in [Great Wish] and is just helping to pass on the message."
“Then don’t worry about it.
By the way, tell Yang Liwen and Zhao Mingcheng that from now on, we will not use any Hong Kong or Taiwan actors in the productions our company is in charge of, unless they are veteran actors like Hui Yinghong who already have a firm political stance.
This decision was not something Gu Wei came up with impulsively.
Judging from the social and industry environment in the past two years, the risks for Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are too great.
Many dramas could not be broadcast after filming because some of the Hong Kong and Taiwan artists had accidents and had to be re-shot with other actors.
Gu Wei simply didn't use them. There were plenty of actors in the mainland anyway, and no one was irreplaceable.
"Understood"
After the two of them finished talking, Jingtian and a few others came over.
"Boss, did you see my performance just now? How was it? Was it okay?"
Yang Chaoyue asked impatiently after sitting down.
"It's pretty good. My acting is much smoother than when I first joined the crew!"
Gu Wei praised her, then reminded her: "Your basic skills are not good enough. If you want to act well, you have to understand the role more and finally put yourself into the role, let yourself become Ye Ling'er, so that you can achieve good results."
"Yeah, I read my own script at least ten times before filming every day. I definitely work hard!" Yang Chaoyue had a struggling expression on his face.
"Chao Yue is performing well now, so you don't have to be too harsh on her~" Jing Tian said with a smile.
“Although she is an idol now, she can’t make it in a domestic girl group. It’s okay for newcomers to gain some fame through this channel.
If he wants to maintain his fame in the future, he has to turn to acting.
If she keeps messing up the TV series and movies she stars in because of her poor acting skills, even if I wanted to support her, I guess she can only become a pure variety show star."
Gu Wei spoke the truth.
"Are there any female artists you can't promote?
You are a famous domestic entertainment dad," Jing Tian joked with a smile.
"It's just a rumor spread by netizens, who can take it seriously?" Gu Wei didn't care.
"Boss, I always take it seriously!" Yang Chaoyue said seriously.
"Me too, boss." Tian Xiwei also nodded.
"I think what netizens said makes sense. Brother Wei, you really bring good luck to the heroine!" said Guo Qilin.
Jing Tian spread his hands and said, "See, everyone thinks so, and I experienced it myself."
Gu Wei was helpless: "Whatever you say is what it is."
On September 12, "The Great Wish" premiered nationwide.
Because of the previous ranking issue, this movie has a great reputation, but it is not a good reputation.
The production company adjusted Peng Yuchang's position in the film back to the first place, and Peng Yuchang also went on a roadshow at his own expense to help promote the film as stated in the statement.
The movie earned a total of 156 million yuan in box office revenue in the first four days of its release. In the second week, the daily box office revenue dropped to less than 10 million yuan. Maoyan predicts that the final box office revenue will be 200 million yuan.
"The Great Wish" is a comedy without big-name stars and special effects shots. Peng Yuchang, Wang Dalu and Wei Daxun are far from being real first-line stars.
Therefore, the cost of the movie is not high, only about 50 million. Combined with the investment in publicity and promotion, the current box office is enough to make a profit.
The National Day was getting closer and closer. On September 24, Gu Wei's plane landed in Beijing.
That evening, the premiere of "My Country, My Parents" will be held at the National Library.
Seven directors, led by Chen Kaige, and dozens of stars will be present. As the most popular actor, Gu Wei will certainly not be absent.
