Although "Traveling with History" has only been released for two episodes, it has become popular all over the Internet.
After two episodes, superb acting and excellent production have become the label of the program. Various online users are desperately recommending it, and many entertainment accounts are even more determined to believe that this program is the highest-scoring national variety show of the year. The
supporting actors have also become popular, especially Chu Meibo, who played the leading role in the second episode and had a stunning performance. She has once again become popular on the Internet. Especially when new fans learned that Chu Meibo was still Kui Ji in "The Secret" and Wen Nan in "Honey", they were all stunned.
[What kind of god am I a fan of! ! ]
For the people of Morning Star Company, they are so proud that they walk with the wind recently.
What can an agency rely on to brag? It's the artists of the company. The more popular artists a company has, the more resources it has, and the more famous the company is, which will attract more artists, thus achieving a virtuous circle.
Morning Star has always had a good reputation in the industry, and it has many artists under its umbrella. It is evenly matched with several companies of the same level, and the parties have maintained a delicate balance. However, since Ye Cang and Chu Meibo became popular one after another, this balance has begun to be broken.
For example, a second-tier star that Menghe Entertainment had actively contacted before had already agreed to come, but when it came to signing the contract, the other party suddenly changed his mind and signed with Morning Star instead.
Not only that, the industry also began to notice the broker who brought Ye Cang and Chu Meibo out - Shen Huai. His amazing resume was amazing, and he even had the nickname "Midnight Touch".
When Hua Rong heard the news, she almost vomited to death. She was in no mood to maintain a kind appearance. She scolded her assistant half to death for a small matter. She couldn't help but urge the person who found Chu Meibo's history again. She had made up her mind to suppress Chu Meibo before she could gain a firm foothold.
Just as Hua Rong hung up the phone, the door of the office was pushed open.
She was startled: "Who is it?"
Xu Anqi walked in and said lightly: "Sister Hua, I heard you were looking for me?"
Hua Rong was slightly relieved when she saw that it was Xu Anqi: "You just came over?"
"Yes." Xu Anqi was a little impatient, "Sister Hua, if you have anything to say, just tell me, I have to go on the announcement later."
Her attitude made Hua Rong feel relieved, and she was not angry. She has always been very patient with artists who can make money for her.
"It's like this, I took a variety show for you to be a flying guest."
When Xu Anqi heard that it was a variety show, her expression became more and more unsightly: "Sister Hua, I said, I don't want to take variety shows anymore!" "
This is different." Hua Rong smiled mysteriously, "The name of this variety show is "Traveling with History"."
Xu Anqi was stunned.
Hua Rong smiled with satisfaction and said, "You should know how popular this program is now. There are so many people lining up to be on it but can't!"
Xu Anqi asked hesitantly, "Is it really this program?"
"Can I still lie to you?" Hua Rong stood up and patted Xu Anqi on the shoulder. "I don't know how much effort and hard work I put in to get this program for you. You always say that I'm biased. Now you know who I'm biased towards, right?"
Xu Anqi was not as naive as Song Yimian. With her fame and status, it was not difficult for her to become a flying guest. Hua Rong just exaggerated her own contributions out of habit.
However, she still said to Huarong perfunctorily, "Thank you, Sister Hua."
Huarong was dissatisfied with her attitude, but she could do nothing about it, so she emphasized, "That Chu Meibo is a supporting actress of the program team. You should have a rivalry with her in the episode you went to. You should be careful, lest you lose to her. Outsiders will not think that you abandoned Shen Huai at the beginning, but will think that Shen Huai dumped you and signed a more promising new star."
Xu Anqi's expression changed immediately.
Huarong felt a little more comfortable. She knew Xu Anqi's weaknesses very well, and she had never failed.
She comforted Xu Anqi and let her go.
Xu Anqi was absent-minded when she arrived at the underground garage. Her assistant Pingping was very happy: "Angie, I told you that Sister Hua still values you. This is a good opportunity...Angie, Anqi, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Anqi came back to her senses: "Nothing."
Pingping saw that she didn't want to talk, so she could only drive the car half-believingly.
Xu Anqi sat in the car and remembered that before she entered Huarong's office, she heard Huarong seemed to be talking to someone on the phone. She only heard a few scattered words - "can't", "stand firm", "black history", "beat down".
She couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Who is Huarong going to suppress?
-
Shen Huai had also heard some rumors in the industry, but he didn't take them seriously.
One's own family knows one's own business. He knows the identities of these two popular artists under him. He can't really be said to have a keen eye for talent, but even if he tells the truth, no one will believe it, and they may think he is joking.
He simply put all his thoughts on work, and soon it was time for the preliminary auditions of "Red Actress".
Director Xie attaches great importance to "Red Actress", especially since this is the audition for the heroine, so he will participate in the whole process, and the crew has done a good job of keeping it secret, and the media didn't know about it at all.
The crew even booked a hotel for the audition.
After Shen Huai and Chu Meibo arrived, they found out who participated in the audition of the heroine Cheng Yanxin, and even Shen Huai was shocked.
This audition alone almost included most of the first- and second-tier actresses in the country. Some of them have been popular since they were child stars, some are new actresses who have become popular in recent years, and some have accumulated a lot of experience and have become popular from the stage of drama to the big screen.
They may have become popular in different ways, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are powerful actresses with their own representative works.
Compared with them, Chu Meibo, who has only played the second female role in a network drama and a variety show, is simply an outlier.
However, Chu Meibo was very calm.
Others thought that she felt she had no hope, so she could be so relaxed.
After all, even if Chu Meibo performed well in Honey and Liyuan, she was only a supporting role. She didn't have the ability to carry the box office as a leading actress. Maybe she will show such ability in the future, but for now, she lacks the qualifications to compete with these female stars.
For a new actress like her, being able to stand here is already a compliment.
Chu Meibo didn't care. Whether she had the ability or not was determined by the audition.
As one female star after another entered the audition room and walked out with a sullen face, the atmosphere on the scene became tense.
Among all the actresses, the most competitive one was Weng Tian. She was 26 years old this year, graduated from a professional school, and had already won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Kim Young Awards. She was in her best condition. More importantly, she looked a bit like Gu Mei, so there had been rumors that she was the most suitable candidate in Director Xie's mind.
Weng Tian herself also showed great confidence. After all, she also had ambitions to win the Best Actress Award at the Kim Young Awards for the role of Cheng Yanxin, becoming the first post-90s actress to win the Best Actress Award at the Kim Young Awards.
For this role, she even found a teacher and studied Gu Mei's movies. She was fully prepared.
During the audition, she was very satisfied with her performance, and even Director Xie relaxed his brows. Just when
Director Xie wanted to say something, he heard a commotion outside the door. He frowned and signaled to the assistant director: "Go out and see what's going on?"
The assistant director hurried out and saw several people escorting a man in a suit. He was about to ask the bodyguard to drive him away, but when he looked closely, he was stunned: "Mr. Guo? Why are you here?"
The person who came was Guo Wenyuan.
He glanced at the people on the scene and paused in the direction of Shen Huai and Chu Meibo.
There was a lot of discussion at the scene. Everyone knew that Guanrui was one of the investors of "Red Actress". Guo Wenyuan was not unfamiliar in this circle. Now, the investor took the initiative to come over. It was hard not to imagine what his purpose was.
Shen Huai and Chu Meibo looked at each other. They were also a little surprised, but they both knew that this Guo Wenyuan was not the same Guo Wenyuan. However, Guo Wenyuan pretended not to know them, and they would not take the initiative to greet him.
Guo Wenyuan pretended not to hear the whispers beside him, and smiled and said to the assistant director: "I happened to be investigating nearby recently, and I happened to know that "Red Actress" was auditioning here. I was curious so I came to take a look. You guys are busy, don't worry about me."
The assistant director was very frank. If it were someone else, he would be left alone, but this was the sponsor! !
The assistant director could only call the producer immediately. The producer had just had a big drink last night and came over this morning.
"Mr. Guo, why are you here?"
"Oh, I just came to take a look." Guo Wenyuan repeated to the producer what he had just said to the assistant director.
Producer: "..."
The producer dared to swear with the catty of Moutai he drank last night that this director would never come to take a look "casually".
In fact, Guo Wenyuan was also helpless. He recently asked his assistant to find scripts for him. The assistant did find a lot of them and swore that they were tailor-made for him. However, after Guo Wenyuan finished reading them, he almost couldn't help but dismiss the assistant again.
This vision is too bad! !
What the hell is it that the domineering president fell in love with me! This aesthetic is not even as good as that of a primary school student!
Just at this time, he heard about the audition for "Red Actors". In fact, he had a certain connection with "Red Actors". He had a good relationship with Director Xie. He had heard Director Xie say before that he wanted to film "Red Actors", but the conditions were not mature, so it was shelved. At that time, he was not sick yet, and Director Xie said he would give him a role. Later, he died, and the matter was left unresolved.
But isn't he alive now? !
I don't know if Director Xie can still keep his word after changing his body.
Guo Wenyuan felt itchy in his heart, and finally couldn't help but ran over.
The producer lowered his voice and asked carefully: "Mr. Guo, tell me the truth, what exactly are you doing here?"
Guo Wenyuan also lowered his voice: "I just want to come here for a try."
Producer: "Hmm... Hmm?!!!"
The producer looked at Guo Wenyuan's sincere expression and was startled and sobered up.
