Chapter 63 I Have a Friend
Chen Duo said, "I have a friend who runs an entertainment company. I can recommend you to be an artist there."
Xia Dan had just drunk some wine and she sobered up when she heard this: "Can I...can I?" Her voice trembled slightly.
At first, she wanted to chat with Chen Duo. After all, Chen Duo was the first person she had ever met who had seen her movies.
I didn't expect such a surprise.
She had graduated a few years earlier and was no longer young. She had interviewed before for things like signing with companies, but had never been accepted.
Many people online say that the agency is too shady and that the profit-sharing ratios and contract terms are unreasonable.
But she was very envious. After all, someone wanted her. It was a team effort, not a one-man show.
She has now switched to a delivery job, having really reached the end of her rope. Who knew there would be such a good thing?
Xia Dan stood up: "I really don't know how to thank you."
Chen Duo said: "I really like watching your performances. Please act more and make more movies in the future."
Xia Dan's face flushed red at this moment. She actually liked the drama she filmed.
It is the greatest compliment to her over the years.
Chen Duo called her good friend Ning Zhiyi. They had both grown up in a villa complex. He was a wealthy second-generation miner who had founded an entertainment company called Lemon Media, specifically to promote his girlfriend.
As soon as I picked up the phone, I heard a lot of noise on the other end, but soon it quieted down. I could only hear Ning Zhiyi casually say, "Duoduo, why did you think of calling me? Is Lao Xu still with you?"
Chen Duo hummed, then said, "You opened an entertainment company, didn't you? I'll introduce you to a serious artist. The kind that makes movies."
"No problem!" He agreed without even asking who it was.
Chen Duo said: "Just let her shoot movies. There is really no good opportunity for her to shoot TV series. Don't waste her time."
"Hey? So thoughtful. So many instructions. Who is it?"
"A friend." Chen Duo said.
"Your friend is my friend. Just let her come to my company. Male or female?" Ning Zhiyi only remembered to ask this topic at this time.
"She's a girl, a potential movie queen." Chen Duo said.
Xia Dan, who was standing next to him, held his breath.
"Okay, I'll be at the company these days. Don't worry. I'll definitely do everything you give me. By the way, when will your wedding be? You don't know. Last time, when the truth or dare game ended and we were about to separate, Xu Kaiming cried like a stupid dog. Hahahahahaha."
Xu Kaiming was heating up some cold skewers of meat. Hearing this, he immediately flew into a rage and snatched the phone away: "Get lost! If you keep saying this nonsense, I'll show your girlfriend the pictures of you wetting the bed as a kid." They grew up together, so who doesn't know who?
Ning Zhiyi, who had been in a relaxed attitude on the other end of the phone, heard Xu Kaiming's voice and the two started arguing with each other.
Chen Duo was used to it. She said to Xia Dan, "Just go directly. Lemon Media is it. Oh, by the way." She suddenly thought of something: "Add WeChat. If there are any problems, we can discuss it later. You can pack up and go sign the contract."
Xia Dan stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them: "Thank you. I'm not good at speaking and don't know what to say. But I will always remember your kindness to me!"
"It's okay, it's just a small favor." Chen Duo said.
Xia Dan left with a grateful look on his face.
Xu Kaiming hung up the phone angrily, then looked at Chen Duo and said, "He's just jealous of me."
Chen Duo smiled and pinched his cheek.
Xu Kaiming looked at Chen Duo, and then remembered the kiss in the room.
He swallowed his saliva and glanced at Chen Duo's lips casually, recalling the feeling of that kiss. He felt a little annoyed. He was too nervous at that time and they separated as soon as they touched.
He wanted to kiss her again, but... he didn't dare.
So he kept running around in front of Chen Duo with ulterior motives, hoping to find a gap and do it again inadvertently.
But there is no opportunity at all!
When Xu Kaiming was about to do something bad, the dog's sneaky behavior was too obvious. Chen Duo was really angry and amused: "Why don't you go back to the room and rest. You went to the hospital yesterday, so you need to rest for a day today."
Xu Kaiming was happy when he heard this: "I know you care about me."
Chen Duo went to the room closest to the master bedroom. As soon as she entered, she was flooded with messages. Some were asking for Xiaoka, some were asking for cotton dolls, and some were asking her to watch the PK stage of "All-Around Showdown."
That was the stage where he went from last to first.
The performances of Gu Yanqiu and Pei Xing are remarkable, and even the fans who had quit the show before seem to be getting into it again.
The materials in Chen Duo’s camera and the materials on the Internet are also increasing.
A super smooth cross-dressing video was directly edited. From the smallest stage to the TV stage. Everyone witnessed this scene.
Everything is changing, but the only thing that remains unchanged is Gu Yanqiu's full effort on every stage.
"Ahhhh! So handsome!"
"It has to be our fangirl. A lot of people have edited his videos recently, but no one can get that flavor!"
"New fans are so lucky! There wasn't such fine bran before!"
After posting the video, Chen Duo didn't read the comments and started fiddling with the camera again.
But there were surprisingly many photos of Xu Kaiming. She habitually zoomed in on that face on her computer, and was met with his broad smile, his beautiful eyes staring straight at her as if they could pierce the camera. For some reason, she'd saved it as her computer background.
…
Xia Dan went to Lemon Entertainment. She was very nervous along the way. Lemon Entertainment is located in Shanghai, in a super high-end administrative office building.
The people coming in and out here are the kind of white-collar workers you can only see in TV dramas.
She mustered up the courage to go to the 23rd floor and told the receptionist, "Duoduo recommended me for the interview."
The girl at the front desk immediately smiled and said, "Okay, our boss has told us. Just go up."
As soon as I entered, I saw the girl at the front desk dialing the internal number. As soon as I entered, I was stopped by a middle-aged woman: "Are you Xia Dan?"
"Yes." She said nervously.
The middle-aged woman looked her up and down and said, "I've seen your performance in Camellia, it's pretty good. I'll be your agent from now on, just call me Sister Hua."
"Hello, Sister Hua." She said politely.
"You're dressed too poorly." Sister Hua said bluntly.
Xia Dan felt a little embarrassed. She had been playing small roles over the years and had little money to buy nice clothes.
What she is wearing now is her most decent piece of clothing, which cost her two hundred yuan at the clothing wholesale market.
She thought this kind of clothes was good, but it still had a rustic feel in Shanghai, an international metropolis.
Sister Hua said, "Go sign the contract first, then go to the accounting department to get your clothing allowance. I'll go shopping with you this afternoon. After you sign the contract, you'll be an artist, so you have to be careful with your words and actions. I'll explain all this to you later."
Hua Jie has a stern demeanor. Many people in the company are afraid of her, but Xia Dan, having worked as a delivery driver and played minor roles recently, has heard plenty of harsh words. She's fine with this.
I didn't feel uncomfortable.
The two went to the boss's office, who was a young man.
The boss, Ning Zhiyi, said, "Sign it. It's an S-level contract. The company will get you roles and management, plus a two million yuan annual contract fee. It's the highest among all the artists right now. After all, you're a friend of Duoduo and Kaiming."
Xia Dan was stunned. She signed the contract and came out in a daze. Then she saw Sister Hua get 200,000 yuan from the accounting department and take her to buy clothes. From clothes and shoes to bags, everything was new. Looking at herself in the mirror, she was a little bit incredulous.
Soon, Sister Hua assigned her an assistant, a personal assistant, and took her to an apartment near the company to have her fingerprints taken. Everything seemed like a dream.
That evening, Sister Hua took her to a cocktail party. Sister Hua, who had always been serious, now smiled warmly and brightly at the table, and praised people very appropriately. The ability to flatter someone without leaving any trace is not something that everyone can master.
When it comes to drinking, she drinks better than any other man, along with the investors, screenwriters, and directors present.
After three glasses of baijiu, everyone cheered and then asked Xia Dan to toast everyone present. She also drank some.
When I get home at night, I will ask: "Sister Hua, would you like to drink some hangover soup?"
"No need." Sister Hua rubbed her swollen temples. "I just received a message saying there's an audition tomorrow. I'll send you the contract later."
Sister Hua looked at Xia Dan with a burning gaze: "Film the movie well."
