It's not that Jian Yu looks down on An Ke, but An Ke's acting skills are definitely asking for criticism when she plays the female lead in an art film!
An Ke practically patted her chest and assured Jian Yu, "I won't hold you back."
Jian Yu did not believe it.
"You should work on your acting skills first!"
"Then give me a role to play. How can I improve and practice without a role?"
"If you want a role, go to your company. You're making money for them."
"They offered me a lead role in a TV series, but I didn't want it."
Why not?
"That was an idol drama. What's so great about acting in idol dramas? I wanted to act in serious dramas, but they only offered me the fifth female lead role."
If someone has connections but isn't given the lead role, doesn't that mean their acting skills aren't up to par?
Encore: "No, the female lead's father invested in it."
Jian Yu finally put down the script in his hand and looked An Ke seriously. "I think you're too impatient. You're focused on the top. Don't you know that aiming too high is a big no-no?"
Anke knew, of course, that she had always been someone who took things one step at a time and disdained taking shortcuts.
In fact, her classmates who took shortcuts are all doing better than the rest.
"If others can take shortcuts, why can't I?"
"I'm not saying you can't, it's just that your acting skills aren't up to par for a leading lady right now. Even if we forced you into the lead role, you still wouldn't be able to carry the weight. The key question is, can you handle being criticized without batting an eye?"
Anke nodded, "I'm mentally prepared."
Jian Yu didn't say anything, but took out his phone and fiddled with it for a while. "Take a look at this post."
Anke looked over in confusion.
I almost exploded after reading the title.
Jian Yu said, "If you can't even handle this much criticism, you'll be in trouble when the whole internet is criticizing you."
Encore: "I was just caught off guard."
Jian Yu said, "What's so surprising? You should know that this level of smear posts is just child's play, far from being a serious attack."
Anke: "I'm currently a contracted artist with the company, and the company will help me handle public opinion."
Jian Yu paused for a moment, "Do you still expect others to help you? You need to know that the company helps you deal with public opinion because they want you to make money for them. At the same time, it's also a kind of leverage that they will give you a lot of work that you don't like. You refused to accept the idol drama arranged by the company and insisted on competing with the top actress Qing Tian for the movie female lead, which has already disrupted the company's plans. This is just a small lesson they are giving you."
"What's the meaning?"
Anke pointed at the black post and said, "Are you saying this is my company's doing?"
"Yes. This is one of the professional trolls your company employs."
An Ke was clearly taken aback. "What about all those people who left comments below?"
"Naturally, they are the paid trolls your company employs."
"......"
Anke clutched her chest. "Impossible. My agent never mentioned that the company was trying to smear me."
"She doesn't know yet."
Anke quickly brought up the dial pad, "Then I'll have her contact the company."
I advise you not to.
"Why? I'm an artist under the company. Aren't they just dragging me down by slandering me like this?"
"What you need to do now is agree to the work assigned by the company and not cause any trouble for the company."
"Make trouble?"
"Qingtian's agent complained to your company's leaders, and that's why your leaders decided to teach you a lesson so that you wouldn't disobey orders just because you're familiar with the Huo family."
"Can't they just tell me directly?"
"Would you listen if I told you? If you did, none of this would have happened. If Qing Tian wins Best Actress for this movie role, your company can take the opportunity to negotiate better deals for other movies and slip their own people in. If you snatch the role away, without any connections, are you confident you can win the award?"
To be honest, An Ke really wasn't sure, and whispered, "I'm already hiring an acting coach."
Seeing that she was stubborn, Jian Yu couldn't help but laugh. "An Ke, you'd better call your agent now and tell her that you want to take the role that the company has arranged for you. This post has been up for half an hour. If you delay any longer, it will suddenly appear on the trending list."
Encore, "..."
Her hands trembled. The scene of being universally criticized online was still vivid in her mind, and she didn't want to experience it again.
"Is it because I broke up with Huo Shanzhen that the company dared to treat me like this?"
"That's part of the reason. After all, Huo Shanzhen rejected all your shows, and your company thought he was suppressing you. But more importantly, it's because you didn't follow the company's arrangements. I didn't expect that, apart from stage performances, you didn't accept any of the variety shows and TV dramas that the company arranged for you."
"I took on a variety show, but it was edited into a mess, and the fans of other celebrities were all criticizing me. I was so angry that I really didn't want to go on it again."
Anke closed her eyes. "I thought the company would protect me in every way once they signed me, but I never expected..."
"An entertainment company that prioritizes money is inherently devoid of humanity."
An Ke nodded, "Yes, I should have known, but I was just blinded by the president's hospitality."
Jian Yu added, "The company's plans for you are based on your current abilities. You should hone your acting skills step by step, instead of just focusing on leading roles."
"But it will take me several years to get ahead."
"No, I asked Uncle Li to inquire with your company before, and they said they would definitely make you a top-tier star within three years."
Anke's breath hitched. "Really?"
"I don't know if it's true or not, but if you keep delaying, it will definitely not come true."
The next second, An Ke dialed the company's vice president's number with lightning speed and told them that she wanted to take on variety shows and idol dramas.
Vice President, "Didn't you disagree?"
Anke laughed and said, "I've come to terms with it now. The company's plans for me were correct."
The vice president was satisfied. "Idol dramas don't require much acting skill, which is perfect for you right now."
Anke nodded. "I think so too."
Next, Anke said a lot of nice things, making the vice president very happy.
After hanging up the phone, An Ke slumped onto the sofa, saying, "I never thought I'd end up acting in an idol drama."
Jian Yu shook his head. "The post is gone."
Anke jumped up, "So fast?"
I checked my phone, and it really is gone.
Anke gritted her teeth, "The company really did try to sabotage me!"
Thanks to Jian Yu for reminding her.
otherwise......
Anke thought of something, "Should I change my agent? She should be completely on my side, and I quite like working with her, but after this incident, I feel that she is a bit too hasty."
Jian Yu understood An Ke's unspoken words; she suspected that her manager was conspiring with others to frame her.
