"What? You're interested in this guy?" Su Yinsheng stared at him and refused without thinking: "No! This won't work!"
The middle-aged man in the duck cap didn't expect Su Yinsheng to reject the offer so quickly. He was very confused and said, "Coach Su, why is that? Didn't you say before that as long as there are suitable athletes, we will definitely cooperate?"
Su Zhe, who was still reviewing his own achievements, heard the two people's voices and then saw the middle-aged man who looked like a director. He finally recognized who this low-key middle-aged man was.
"You are... Director Liu Zhengyan?"
"Oh? Young man, do you know me?" The middle-aged director was a little surprised and smiled at Su Zhe in a friendly manner. He was quite low-key in the entertainment industry, and the outside world knew him more through his works. He didn't expect that a young athlete from a sports team would also know him.
"Oh, yes, of course I know you." Su Zhe nodded.
The middle-aged director is Liu Zhengyan, a well-known TV drama director in China. His dramas are not all big hits, but they are all masterpieces. There are many people in the circle who want to be in Liu's dramas. Chen Cheng of course secretly let them recognize their faces at the beginning. It's impossible to meet a big boss and not recognize him, right?
Seeing Su Zhe and Liu Zhengyan chatting, Su Yinsheng immediately became alert.
"What are you doing? You still want to run away? I tell you, there's no way!" As for Su Zhe, Su Yinsheng almost wanted to be on full alert and isolate him from all connections with the entertainment industry, so that this kid wouldn't run back to be an idol again.
Liu Zhengyan was somewhat puzzled by Su Yinsheng's overreaction, but Su Zhe really satisfied him, so he still argued with Su Yinsheng: "Coach Su, this is a project we are cooperating with the S City Sports Bureau. You have also learned about the content of the series. It tells the story of track and field athletes chasing their dreams, and it is also to promote our track and field project."
"We have already agreed that as long as the track and field team has suitable athletes, we will give priority to our athletes for this supporting role..."
In fact, this request was made by the S City Sports Bureau. Isn't it all about idolization and star effect? They want to show the style of real athletes in the drama and expand the influence of track and field events and athletes.
Liu Zhengyan was a bit troubled by this requirement, and thought that if it really didn't work, he could just leave some minor supporting roles for the athletes to pass the time. Unexpectedly, when he was testing the machine just now, the camera's keen sense of smell captured a clip of Su Zhe running, and the image of Zhufeng matched an important supporting role that had been hanging in his mind.
Facing Liu Zhengyan who was reasoning with him, Su Yinsheng was too embarrassed to retort without reason. He glared at his son hatefully, then turned around and began to explain angrily.
"Well... this guy is my son Su Zhe. He just... joined your entertainment industry two years ago, but didn't achieve anything. Today he just terminated his contract with that company and came back to train again. The result he just showed in his test run is, I can tell you, a result that even the sprinters in our team may not be able to achieve after years of persistent training."
"He has an outstanding talent for sprinting. If he hadn't wasted time in the entertainment industry for the past two years, he might have achieved success long ago." At this point, Su Yinsheng glared at Su Zhe with annoyance and said, "So when he comes back this time, I will definitely not let him go back to the entertainment industry."
Well……
Liu Zhengyan never thought that this would be the case.
No wonder this guy recognized me just now.
Re-examining Su Zhe with the standards for people in the entertainment industry, Liu Zhengyan couldn't help but sigh that this young man was good-looking, clean, handsome, and had a good temperament. In particular, he recalled Su Zhe's graceful running style in his mind, and thought that Su Zhe had actually been in the entertainment industry before, so it must be easier for him to act than a pure athlete...
To sum up, Su Yinsheng's words not only did not make Liu Zhengyan give up, but made him even more excited.
"Coach Su, don't worry. You also said that Su Zhe has terminated his contract with his agency, so there is no reason for him to return to the entertainment industry. As for us, he won't have many roles in this filming, but he is a key figure. It won't take much time, and he can add luster to our track and field projects..."
At this point, Liu Zhengyan paused and said, "Moreover, Director Zhang of the Track and Field Center also asked us to capture the style of track and field athletes. If he had met Su Zhe, he would definitely agree to invite Su Zhe to cooperate in the performance."
Liu Zhengyan's face was full of warmth, but these words made Su Yinsheng not know how to refuse.
Seeing his father and Director Liu fighting back and forth, Su Zhe cautiously took two steps back to avoid being splashed with gunfire. But before he could take two steps back, he suddenly bumped into someone from behind.
"Oh, sorry..." Su Zhe immediately steadied himself, turned around to apologize, but he didn't expect to see a completely unexpected person.
Shao Xingchen? !
Who else could this person in black training suit be but Shao Xingchen, who is at the pinnacle of popularity in the entertainment industry?
At this time, Shao Xingchen was frowning slightly and looking at him with a look that Su Zhe could not understand.
When he saw Shao Xingchen, Su Zhe couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
This is the man who burst onto the scene five years ago and defined the peak of popularity of talent shows.
Since his debut, his popularity has never dropped. As a former member of a boy band, Su Zhe once overestimated his own capabilities and regarded him as a target to pursue.
The person in charge of publicity and promotion in his company was even more outrageous. He not only regarded Shao Xingchen as a target for the small and obscure group the third to catch up, but also issued a series of press releases that could be called moon landing and fraud. At that time, because of his good looks, he was still a little popular, so the company used him as the main force for fraud.
On a well-known gossip forum, no less than ten articles were published in succession, ranging from [Discuss the looks of the new generation of traffic stars] to [Discuss, who among these idols is the real peak of looks], and also such as [Su Zhe's activity photos, why do I feel that he is better than a certain top star who was at the same event that day? ], [Celebrity Reuters collection, let's taste whose looks are really good]...
There were a lot of press releases like this during that period, and Su Zhe's Weibo was also at its peak during that time.
If it were just that, it would be fine. However, the staff of Lemon Entertainment who is in charge of Su Zhe's fan club, seeing that Shao Xingchen's side was too lazy to respond, organized and instigated Su Zhe's fans to reply to Weibo and posts with Shao Xingchen's news. Most of the sentences and pictures they posted were like "Is this set of photos of Shao Xingchen poisonous? What's so good about them? Why not take a look at our baby's stunning beauty?" Then they responded with a set of high-resolution photos of Su Zhe.
Shao Xingchen's fans, who originally thought that tearing down Su Zhe was just helping the poor, finally got angry. If they want to smear Su Zhe, they are smearing him. Haven't their top stars been smeared enough? But they shouldn't be like you, smearing him 24 hours a day, right? You can't just smear one sheep, right?
Soon, the angry Shao Xingchen fan club took action and instantly collected a large number of negative photos of Su Zhe. They also sent people to take Reuters videos with various sharp and blurry angles.
Can the top fans be compared to the fans of Su Zhe and other small-time fans?
All of a sudden, all kinds of negative pictures of Su Zhe appeared on the Internet. These negative pictures were made into emoticons and widely circulated, so that many people who did not know Su Zhe knew that there was such an ugly and weird guy.
There are so many people trying to take advantage of Shao Xingchen's popularity, how could Lemon Entertainment know that it had become the chicken to be killed as a warning to the monkeys?
After that, Su Zhe became increasingly obscure. Even though the official photos released by her could be described as stunningly beautiful, there were still fans of Shao Xingchen and fans of the idols who had been offended during the previous press release hype who came to mock her.
Faced with this gap, Su Zhe's already few fans gradually left.
During that time, Su Zhe and Chen Cheng had strongly opposed the company's approach, but the newly appointed publicity director was the daughter of the Lemon Entertainment CEO who had returned from studying abroad. She was confident that she was familiar with the entertainment industry and made exaggerated promises that she would definitely praise Su Zhe to the sky.
Although the final result was that Su Zhe was completely obscure and his negative photos were deeply rooted in people's hearts, what was the use? The boss just educated his daughter, saying that the publicity work of an artist is not that simple, and then asked the senior staff in the publicity department to guide her well and let her feel how the real publicity work should be done.
As for Su Zhe, who was considered to be useless at the hands of the boss's daughter, he himself was not very popular and his own strength was average. He just had a face. There were many people like him in the entertainment industry. What did it matter even if he was useless?
Thinking of this past event, although Su Zhe had a clear conscience, he still felt a little guilty about the fact that he had been trying to scam Shao Xingchen almost 24 hours a day.
Suddenly seeing the real person at this moment, besides feeling guilty, Su Zhe was also suffocated for a moment by the godly appearance and aura of the man in front of him. The only thought that flashed through his mind was that he was indeed a top star.
But...why is he here?
Su Zhe's mind flashed with the news he had seen before - Shao Xingchen's schedule would be vacant for a period of time, and he was suspected to have contacted a well-known director, preparing to concentrate on joining the crew, seriously study his acting skills, and seek a transformation.
There is no doubt that this drama directed by Liu Zhengyan is the legendary Shao Xingchen's transformation work.
Many people previously speculated that Shao Xingchen's breakthrough work would be a blockbuster film by another great director, and some were worried that Shao Xingchen's acting skills were not good enough to appear on the movie screen. Unexpectedly, Shao Xingchen chose a small-screen drama.
This choice made Su Zhe feel even more admiration for Shao Xingchen's team or himself.
Before today, he was also a member of the so-called entertainment industry. When he was in it, he had a deep understanding of the impetuous and anxious state of everyone in the circle.
As a top traffic, there is a clear opportunity to step onto the big screen, but still choose to hone yourself step by step on the small screen. This is not an easy decision.
While Su Zhe was in a daze, on the other side, Su Yinsheng had reluctantly reached a consensus with Liu Zhengyan.
With the support of the leaders of the Track and Field Center, Liu Zhengyan finally got the role of Su Zhe as an important supporting role in the series. He did not fool Su Yinsheng. Although this role is important, it does not appear many times. It is more of a white moonlight-like character who motivates the protagonist to keep chasing forward on the track and field road.
If we concentrated on Su Zhe's scenes, we could finish filming in less than two weeks.
This was also one of the reasons why Su Yinsheng finally agreed to let him go.
Su Zhe never expected that after returning to the sports team and doing nothing, he got a role in Director Liu's play just by a trial run.
This is probably the reward given to him by the system for playing a random supporting role, right?
Having said that, Su Zhe still felt a little amused.
On the first day of his official retirement from the entertainment industry, he obtained resources that were unattainable to him in the past.
"It's settled then. Someone from my place will arrange for you, Xiaozhe, to sign the contract later." Liu Zhengyan confirmed the candidate he wanted and was satisfied. He turned around and continued to arrange the on-site work with the crew.
"Oh, by the way, Xingchen, you are here too." Liu Zhengyan, who had already turned around, suddenly remembered something he had not explained: "Coach Su, this is our protagonist, Shao Xingchen."
"During this period before the official filming begins, I would like to ask Coach Su to guide him and teach him the standard posture of our track and field athletes. You can train him as an ordinary team member with confidence and make sure that no mistakes are made during the official filming."
"Su Zhe, you must know Xingchen, right? When you are training next time, you can also communicate more with Xingchen. This will help your performance in the play later."
Only after saying these words did Director Liu actually turn around and leave.
Su Zhe was dragged back to the training area by Su Yinsheng and started the physical test again. Zhao Changhe also took the taciturn Shao Xingchen away and instructed him to start warming up. He also prepared to give him a basic test in order to arrange the next training plan.
Seeing Shao Xingchen being taken away by Zhao Changhe, Su Zhe finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had personally witnessed how much the young lady in charge of publicity and promotion had done. Thinking that he had inexplicably joined the same crew with him and had become a supporting role with many scenes opposite him... Su Zhe felt that he should take some time to apologize to Shao.
"The next item is the shuttle run. Run well for me! What are you thinking about?!" Su Yinsheng noticed that Su Zhe was distracted during the physical test, and viciously grabbed Su Zhe's forehead with a powerful Vajra Finger.
Su Zhe then concentrated his mind, temporarily put Shao Xingchen behind his mind, and devoted himself to the physical test.
At the end of the physical test, Su Yinsheng's face was finally not so ugly. Su Zhe's overall data was good, not like he had not been training for two years. Among them, the data related to sprinting such as explosiveness was particularly eye-catching, and there was great potential to be tapped.
Finally, Su Zhe received a signal from Su Yinsheng that the test was over, but he did not plan to rest. Instead, he said hello to his father and went to the outdoor training ground to start the 10-kilometer run required by today's system task.
On the outdoor track, several members of the athletic team were also running laps. After seeing Su Zhe, several older boys gave Su Zhe a long-awaited hug with laughter, and then ran together on the track.
"Azhe, you are really good. You haven't had any training for two years, but you come back and you crush us to the ground."
"Yeah, with your strength, you went to the entertainment industry before, no wonder Su Lao Hu was so angry that he was about to explode."
The companions who had seldom seen each other in the past two years did not become strangers because of the two-year distance. They admired Su Zhe's strength and felt it was a pity that he had wasted two years in the entertainment industry.
At this moment, a silent black figure ran past them, and the older boys exclaimed again.
"Hey, this guy is a real big star, much more reliable than you, Azhe. Several sisters in my family are his fans, and they talk about him in the group every day."
For ordinary athletes who only have boring training every day, this big star who suddenly appears beside them is bound to be a hot topic.
Su Zhe ignored them and just stared at Shao Xingchen who was running silently in front of him. He noticed that Shao Xingchen's exposed skin was abnormally red and he immediately remembered a little gossip about Shao Xingchen.
When Shao Xingchen feels unwell, his skin turns red, just like an allergy.
Thinking of this, Su Zhe frowned and quickly ran to Shao Xingchen's side. Seeing the big man with a flushed face, he pulled Shao Xingchen, who was still planning to run laps, towards the indoor hall without saying a word.
