Chapter 002
@演發新代官网微: Warmly welcome young actor Xu Jingning @许景沢子v to join the 演發新代! At this point, all the official trainees of the new camp have arrived~
[What the hell, what did I see? ? ? ? Is it true? ]
[Ahhhhhhhh Ningning! I knew it! Mommy is so relieved that Ningning has made it.]
[Haha ...
[Haha, who knows how he got in? He doesn't even have any works to show for himself, how dare he call himself an actor.]
[Aiya, after all, Shen dares to call himself an actor, so what can’t he do? Xu Jingning is a real actor~]
Soon after the official announcement on Weibo was released, it became a hot topic. Although the bloody comments section was not very pleasant to watch, the program team still made money from this wave of popularity.
Xu Jingning also reposted the Weibo on time, expressing her sincere gratitude and anticipation for the show to begin. However, fans teased that her phone must have been confiscated by her sister again.
A passerby who followed the trending search asked curiously: "How did you know this?"
An enthusiastic fan replied: "Because Ning Ning is so lazy, if she orders by herself, she can only send an emoji at most."
Xu Jingning's cell phone was indeed taken away. Although the reason given was to let him play less games and concentrate on practicing his acting skills, Xu Jingning knew that his sister was afraid that he would be influenced by the comments on the Internet.
But he can’t help but have a diligent assistant 2874 who also likes to eat melons and reads the comments to him one by one.
"Shen Luo's fans are watching you so closely, but thanks to them, otherwise you wouldn't be so popular."
"Most of the people who speak up for you in the official Weibo comments section are passers-by. It seems that everyone has really been disgusted with Shen's fans for a long time."
"Hahaha this is so funny. If we could release some negative information about Shen Luo at this time, there would probably be more people watching the show, right?"
Having not slept well at noon, Xu Jingning was in a bad mood at the moment, and only replied gloomily: "It won't be very effective if you let it go now. Everything should be done in moderation to prevent a rebound."
"Yeah... that's right, your judgment has always been accurate."
Xu Jingning sneered: "Thanks to you, I learned it through practice."
If he didn't have vivid memories of being repeatedly dragged into a pit by a certain system in the past few years, he wouldn't want to spend time thinking about these things.
Noticing Xu Jingning's unfriendly tone, 2874 immediately lowered his head and changed the subject.
"We'll be at the company soon, Ningning, are you ready?"
Xu Jingning was not interested: "I want to buy a cup of coffee first."
The company that Xu Jingning signed with, Star Entertainment, is very powerful in the industry. It is well-known for its careful protection of its reputation and its emphasis on the development of artists.
When Xu Xingcheng took out the contract, he knew that this invitation had gone through layers of screening by the company.
Sure enough, as soon as he signed the contract, he received a summons from his boss.
Because he arrived early, Xu Jingning went to the public cafe in the building first.
I ordered a latte, found a quiet seat, and then sat down to quietly ponder the script sent by the program team.
As an acting competition program, the main focus of "Performing New Generation" is still on the acting competition, but unlike most promotion-based competitive programs, the guests of "Performing New Generation" will not change after being decided at the beginning, there is no elimination, only ranking. The first three rounds of the theme competition will examine the comprehensive abilities of the students from different directions and give themed rankings. The last round is the finals, and the final ranking will be determined.
The process of the preliminary selection is that the students first perform on their own, then choose each other with the instructors, and then prepare for the competition with the assistance of the instructors.
There are no fixed requirements for the performance. Students can choose the scripts provided by the program team, or provide their own scripts for the program team to review.
Because Xu Jingning joined a little late, he only had a week left, and it was too late to choose a script, so he planned to start with the script of the program team.
"No. 42, please go to the front desk to get your meal."
The call interrupted Xu Jingning's thoughts. He got up and went over. He saw two cups of coffee on the front desk, and the waiter was wiping the coffee machine with his back to him. It seemed that he had no intention of helping him with the two cups.
"that……"
"Excuse me, are you ready?"
A deep male voice came from behind. Xu Jingning turned around hurriedly and saw a tall man.
He was wearing a mask, but from the handsome features that were revealed, one could tell how handsome this man was.
As one of the top entertainment companies in the industry, Starcom has many well-known artists under its name, so it is normal to run into a star occasionally.
The man in front of him looked somewhat familiar, but Xu Jingning couldn't remember who he was for a moment. He tactfully avoided his gaze and stepped back to make room for the man: "Waiting for the waiter."
At this moment, the waiter who had cleaned up finally came back and saw the two people standing together. He immediately realized that he had forgotten to give them coffee and apologized hastily: "Sorry, sorry, it's lunch break now and I'm the only one here. Sorry for keeping you waiting."
"Latte No. 41, iced Americano No. 42, gentlemen, take care."
Looking at the waiter's sincere look, Xu Jingning felt embarrassed. He said thank you twice and turned to walk to his seat.
As I passed the man, I seemed to hear him chuckle.
It sounds somehow familiar.
But Xu Jingning didn't care.
After drinking coffee, he prepared for another two hours. When it was almost time arranged by the boss, Xu Jingning finally set off.
Because a certain system was too noisy, Xu Jingning muted 2874 while reading the script. After finally being freed, it immediately stretched out its fists and feet and started chattering: "Ningning! The first room on the left!"
2874 kept pointing at the road, which made Xu Jingning feel a little regretful.
"Shut up, I'm not directionally challenged."
"Still want to be banned?"
Knowing that Xu Jingning needed it temporarily, 2874 not only did not hold back, but also asked in a tone full of interest: "But we have to meet with the boss! Most likely we will talk about variety shows, aren't you excited?"
Xu Jingning's hand holding the door handle paused slightly.
"Not interested."
2874 wanted to continue asking, but Xu Jingning didn't give it the chance. He exerted a little force and pushed the door open.
The room is very cozy, with pink and green wallpaper, flowers and dolls placed around, and a few warm-colored square pillows on the plain sofa in the center. The overall color is very relaxing. At first glance, it doesn't look like an office, but rather like a renovated model house for sale.
There was only one boy in the room, who was holding a doll and browsing his phone with relish. When he saw someone coming in, he turned around, raised his hand and said "Hi" enthusiastically.
"Hello, my name is Xiang Yuan." The boy smiled brightly, with a few canine teeth appearing and disappearing at the corners of his mouth. "You must be Xu Jingning, right? I've seen the play you acted in!"
Xu Jingning was slightly startled by the sudden familiarity. She thought she had come to the wrong place, but she understood after hearing the boy's name.
Xiang Yuan is also one of the regular students of Yansheng.
But he was not an artist from Xingchuan, so Xu Jingning suppressed his doubts and walked forward to sit down: "Hello, Teacher Xiang."
"No, no, no, I can't call you teacher. Just call me Yuanyuan," Xiang Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's you who played the little half-immortal in "The Legend of Yu Ting". I like this role very much!"
This was somewhat beyond Xu Jingning's expectations: "But I finished filming the first two episodes."
"That doesn't deny that you acted very well." Unexpectedly, Xiang Yuan said it seriously, "Actually, I also auditioned for this role, but the director said I was too lively and not suitable."
Looking at Xiang Yuan's clueless look, Xu Jingning smiled inwardly.
Well, the problem is probably not being too lively, but not being clever enough.
Thinking of this, Xu Jingning comforted him, "It's okay, didn't you get a better role later?"
Xiang Yuan's tone was somewhat regretful: "That's different..."
Then, he suddenly moved closer and lowered his voice and said, "Because I didn't go there for the role, but I heard that there's something fishy about the male and female protagonists of Yu Ting Chuan."
Xu Jingning: “Hmm?”
It seems like I know something... interesting.
2874 also became more alert: "Hey, Ningning, his attribute..."
The next second, Xiang Yuan sighed: "I went there just for the CP!"
2874 cheered at the same time: "Yeah! It's also a bastard! Let's try to see if we can get something out of him!"
After pondering for a while, Xu Jingning silently replied: "Are you sure?"
2874: "What...what happened?"
Looking at Xiang Yuan's bright eyes filled with clear stupidity, Xu Jingning suddenly had the urge to tease him.
Thinking this way, he did the same: "Actually, the couple you're supporting is fake."
After hearing this, Xiang Yuan's expression instantly turned into one of shock.
"How is this possible? They interacted with each other in various promotions outside of the show, and even helped each other promote new shows! How could this be fake?!"
Xu Jingning patted Xiang Yuan's shoulder lightly: "After all, it's still the business period. Once July is over, both sides will tear apart the CP fans to purify them."
Seeing his sad look, Xu Jingning carefully changed the subject: "But the second male and second female lead can invest, it will definitely not be a loss."
If you are a fan who often watches Xu Jingning’s live broadcast, you will know that what he meant by this sentence is that the relationship between this couple is stable and will be made public sooner or later.
Hearing this, Xiang Yuan's expression became indescribable again: "...I support the second male lead and the third female lead."
As expected, Xu Jingning went to knock on 2874: "See."
2874: "..."
The illness is a bit serious. I hope the child will recover soon.
"Teacher Xu! Teacher Xu! Please give me some advice and let me buy a real couple!"
This really makes people feel awkward. After all, Xu Jingning only relies on cheating in the system, and he is not the matchmaker who can set the red line for people.
"Well, I don't know much."
Xiang Yuan was a little depressed, but soon perked up again, "Then you must know the gossip about Teacher Yan, right?"
"Um?"
This time, Xiang Yuan looked around first, and after confirming that there was no one around, he leaned close to Xu Jingning's ear and whispered, "Teacher Yan and Movie King Zhang are a perfect couple. Who didn't admire them when they were so popular back then?"
After listening to this, Xu Jingning suddenly felt a toothache.
This unlucky child, why does he keep knocking down pairs?
"I didn't believe it at first, but it's really strange. Look at the two of them. They are almost thirty years old, but they are still single. And Teacher Yan has been in the industry for so many years and has never had any scandals. Isn't it too strange?"
Because they were so engrossed in the conversation, neither of them noticed that a third person had quietly entered the room.
As soon as Yan Xun opened the door, he saw two little boys huddled together, whispering to each other, but they did not try to suppress their voices.
So much so that the words of the discussion fell particularly clear in my ears.
"Didn't Mr. Zhang tell the media before that if Ms. Yan still didn't have a partner at the age of 30, she might as well just settle down with him! Isn't this a confession!"
Xu Jingning looked at Xiang Yuan with pity: "You didn't take it seriously, did you? He was deliberately teasing Teacher Yan and urging him to find a partner."
"Ah, aren't those just excuses given to me by my fans?" Xiang Yuan waved his hands in disbelief. "I worked with Teacher Yan on a movie before! Mr. Zhang even visited the set three times!"
Xu Jingning: "That has a reason."
It's just that he couldn't say it out loud.
"What other reasons could there be? Ordinary excuses can't convince me!" Xiang Yuan said firmly, "This couple has been supporting each other for three years. They are definitely serious!"
“It’s just fake.”
"How do you know?"
Xu Jingning joked, "Because I am a fan of Teacher Yan."
As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent.
Then, a short laugh was heard from behind the two of them.
When they noticed someone coming, the two boys were terrified almost instantly, and turned around at the same time to meet Yan Xun's face.
Xu Jingning's eyes fell on that highly recognizable smile, and he immediately remembered their encounter downstairs a few hours ago.
His face turned ashen in an instant.
