Chapter 367 I am the Ageless Goddess (Twenty-three)
"Theater?"
Gu Qingcheng looked at the script in her hand while listening to Sister Hua talking incessantly.
"Yes! It's the drama theater. Are you interested in joining?"
Sister Hua’s network of contacts should not be underestimated.
This time, Gu Qingcheng's initiative to pay the taxes made the officials very satisfied.
The higher-ups are already preparing to clean up the chaos in the entertainment industry. An actress like Gu Qingcheng, who has a very high national popularity, is willing to actively support it, which in itself is a matter of attitude.
The relevant leaders were very satisfied and gave several compliments.
Moreover, Gu Qingcheng has something to boast about——
Even after more than ten years in Hollywood, he has not changed his nationality.
Good attitude, political correctness, and decent acting skills, that's what a good actor is.
"Join us? Do I need to take an exam?"
Gu Qingcheng suddenly thought of another novel world where celebrities in the entertainment industry all began to be keen on taking exams.
Many top stars, young handsome men and beautiful women, are also proud of being admitted into the civil service.
This caused a huge uproar on the Internet, and some netizens even joked:
The end of the universe is the establishment.
If this is the case for celebrities, let alone ordinary people.
"Of course not! You are Gu Qingcheng!"
Sister Hua seemed to have heard a joke. "Three Golden Globes, Oscar nominations, Golden Bear winner, you are the only actress born after 1985 to have won major awards both at home and abroad!"
He won the Grand Slam domestically and also achieved success abroad.
With so many honors, it would be too miserable if Gu Qingcheng still struggled through exams like an ordinary artist or amateur.
Not being able to get any position was already considered humble of Gu Qingcheng.
“…”
Gu Qingcheng heard the pride in Sister Hua's words and curled the corners of her lips.
She discovered that the original owner's agent was really awesome.
A true teammate!
In fact, after Gu Qingcheng came here, she focused on reading the news in recent times and had some vague guesses.
Paying additional taxes is the first step.
The second step is to actively move closer to the authorities.
Now, with the help of Sister Hua, Gu Qingcheng completed the first two steps of the plan in the shortest time.
The name "Gu Qingcheng" no longer has any black spots.
Next, she continued to work hard.
"Okay! I'm willing to join! Sister, thank you for your hard work!"
Gu Qingcheng answered with a smile and expressed her gratitude to Sister Hua.
"Humph! You little rascal, you're just like when you were little, you just like to mess around!"
"I really owe you in my last life!"
Sister Hua pretended to be angry and complained a few words.
However, she was in a very good mood.
Because when she went to contact the tax authorities, she noticed something from the other party's words.
The higher-ups really need to clean up the mess.
Now is the era of big data, and it is very easy to capture some information.
In fact, the authorities have already obtained a lot of evidence and are preparing to contact the parties involved.
Sister Hua took the lead, which is no longer considered surrendering, but rather an active performance.
Everything that had happened before disappeared with the payment of the full amount.
Instead of becoming a bad artist, Gu Qingcheng becomes an advanced artist who corrects his mistakes and actively cooperates.
"That was close! Fortunately, Rongrong was alert!"
And she was willing to support it.
Otherwise, her own stinky sister might have been caught as an example! Sister Hua secretly rejoiced but didn't say anything.
Humph, she is the elder sister, how can she admit her mistakes and give in in front of her younger sister? "By the way, the popularity of "Star Inn" is quite good, and there are several variety shows that have approached me. Do you want to choose?"
After some jokes, Sister Hua got down to business.
As an international star, Gu Qingcheng's popularity has remained high recently. Scripts for movies and TV series, as well as invitations to many variety shows, have been pouring in like snowflakes.
Strike while the iron is hot, press on to gain momentum, and monetize traffic as quickly as possible, which are all normal operations in the entertainment industry.
Sister Hua was very interested.
However, her cooperation with Gu Qingcheng has always been fair.
She will not interfere with the artist's choice like some powerful agents.
The most she could do was offer advice.
"Sister, after filming 'Celebrity Inn', I don't plan to take on any more variety shows!"
Gu Qingcheng refused directly.
It is indeed easy to make money from variety shows, and there is enough exposure.
However, as a star, you still have to maintain a certain sense of mystery.
She can’t be tied down to one show or one genre.
Once you become a "variety show star", not only will your future performances distract the audience, but it will also be easy for you to fall from the altar.
Nowadays, variety shows are becoming more and more "entertaining".
They are almost unscrupulous just for traffic.
Gu Qingcheng cannot always act like a goddess. Once she becomes down-to-earth or has the so-called sense of variety shows, she will ruin her goddess image.
This is not only detrimental to her career development, but also directly affects her mission! "Not taking on variety shows anymore?"
"Yes! I don't want to be a variety show star!"
After hearing this, Sister Hua was silent for a moment.
They are all old foxes in the entertainment industry, and Sister Hua knows too well the routines of character setting, status, etc.
In fact, there are ready-made examples in front of us.
Several stars were originally people who could be called "drama bones".
As a result, because of filming some variety shows, I completely lost that feeling.
Whether he is acting in movies or TV series again, his acting skills may still be superb, but the first reaction of the audience is - laughter!
If you have been a clown for too long, even if you put on the dragon robe, you are no longer the emperor!
"Okay! Then turn it down!"
Sister Hua also doesn't want her little sister to be constrained by a certain framework.
If you don’t want to take the variety show, then don’t take it.
Anyway, given her status as a celebrity, she won’t have to worry about not getting any notices.
The two sisters discussed some more things and then hung up the phone.
Gu Qingcheng continued to read the script.
When she came here, the original owner not only participated in the recording of "Star Inn", but also took on a medical drama.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
She is the heroine and her role in the play is a surgeon.
The original owner had acting skills and was also hardworking enough.
However, there is a routine in domestic workplace dramas, which is that during the performance, the heroine and the hero start to fall in love.
It is obviously a medical drama, but it was turned into an idol drama disguised as a professional drama.
As for the screenwriter, I guess he doesn't know much about the medical profession.
Perhaps the crew hired some experts, or the screenwriter referred to a lot of professional materials when writing the script.
But, unprofessional is unprofessional.
There are always loopholes in the written plots! Gu Qingcheng has extracted medical skills from other small worlds and has actually worked as a doctor.
She is definitely a professional.
After finishing the recording of the third episode of "Star Inn", Gu Qingcheng's "The Great Doctor Jing Cheng" officially started filming.
Gu Qingcheng rushed to the film and television city.
Before taking on this TV series, the original owner got the entire script.
Although the original script still has some common problems of domestic dramas, it is still relatively compact overall.
It's not professional enough, but it does contain some medical knowledge.
The original owner was not Gu Qingcheng, and did not have enough professional knowledge. As an ordinary person, he actually had a feeling of "unknown power".
So she signed the contract.
Gu Qingcheng also joined the crew according to the contract.
But when I actually arrived at the crew, the director sent me the second version of the script.
This is a bit hard to explain.
The script was watered down. The series was supposed to be only forty episodes long, but it was dragged to seventy.
In addition to the main storyline of the heroine Jing Cheng, many more scenes were added for the supporting actress.
Needless to say, the supporting actress should be someone who was stuffed in by the investors.
In order to promote his mistress, the sponsor spent a lot of money and asked the crew to add more scenes.
Gu Qingcheng roughly calculated that the supporting actress who had been added to the cast appeared more frequently than the leading actress.
"Sister! They did it on purpose!"
"They just want to use you to promote new people!"
Zhu Tingting and Wang Mo both read the script and were immediately furious.
It was supposed to be a drama with a strong female lead, but in the end, it became a stepping stone for the second female lead.
It's obviously a medical drama, but it's filled with a bunch of cheesy love and romance plots.
Oh, by the way, there is also the issue of favoring boys over girls and the conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
What office affair, what unspoken rules in the workplace!
Zhu Tingting and Wang Mo were puzzled. Why couldn’t they just shoot a professional drama?
Do you have to come up with so many messed up jokes?
This is not just adding unnecessary details, but a bloody mess! It seems that there must be adultery between men and women.
It’s as if the best friend is going to hook up with someone else’s man.
It seems that women must have a family that favors boys over girls.
It seems that when you get married you will have evil mothers-in-law, mama's boys, and cheating men.
It’s not that we can’t allude to reality, but reality is not all so dirty.
And, let me repeat, this is a medical drama! Not some fucking ethics drama or idol drama.
Yes, doctors also fall in love, and have daily trivialities and family conflicts.
However, isn't the point to emphasize the doctor's professionalism, popularize some medical knowledge, and correctly guide the doctor-patient relationship?
It's not just about wearing a white coat and then acting like a boss and flirting with girls.
Not to mention the water-filled plot. Really, even if you skip the middle twenty episodes, it won't affect the viewing experience.
"Can we make a good drama like The Good Doctor?"
Zhu Tingting is a fan of American TV series. From sitcoms such as "The Big Bang Theory" and "2 Broke Girls" to medical dramas such as "Grey's Anatomy" and "The Good Doctor", she almost never misses an episode.
I watch every season.
When I first saw the script of "The Great Doctor Jing Cheng", although I felt that it was not as professional as "The Good Doctor", it was still quite professional.
But now——
“This is only the second edition!”
“In the future, there may even be a third or fourth edition!”
"Sister, I went to ask around, and the second female lead directly brought the screenwriter into the group!"
"Tsk tsk, if you don't know, you would think she is a top-tier celebrity!"
In fact, she is just an 18th-tier model of the sponsor on the list.
When Gu Qingcheng joined the crew, Wang Mo, as a junior assistant, went to the set for a walk.
I happened to see the scene shot by the second female lead.
Digital lines and the like are no longer a big deal.
I guess she got a smiling lip treatment. When she cried, her smile was particularly sweet.
Wang Mo's first reaction was: Damn it, my sister actually has to play opposite such a bastard!
There's no need to wait until this drama is aired, it's destined to be a flop!
