Chapter 183: The Entertainment Circle: Running Wild on the Road to Becoming Stronger and More Beautiful 08 After
recording several episodes of the show, Zheng Shichao had developed a serious fear of Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan is really beautiful, but her personality is also really weird.
Other beauties are roses with thorns, but she is a cactus with thorns, or the kind of manic cactus that can splash you with green juice when the thorns are pulled out.
Zheng Shichao had no words to complain about it. After recording the episode on the farm, he found the director and asked to change the female guest.
He came to enjoy himself, not to be abused. He didn't want to form a CP with Jiang Lan according to the director's request. He wanted to live a little longer.
As a result, the director was not happy. He used to think that hyping up CP was a hot spot, so he forced the guests to be ambiguous. Now he has changed his mind.
It is too common for dating shows to hype up couples. It would be better to have unpopular couples without any couples. This way it feels more explosive.
The combination of Zheng Shichao and Jiang Lan does not have the feeling of a couple at all, but there are all kinds of situations, which is much more interesting than a simple love affair.
Zheng Shichao is a first-line actor in the entertainment industry and his status is not low, but compared with the capital, the gap is still very large, and he has no qualifications to be willful.
He wanted to quit and threaten the director team, but the director was also a person of great background, and he did not dare to give up like Jiang Lan. He could only hold back his anger and continue to play the role of an infatuated follower.
What is lost must be made up in other places.
After being repeatedly frustrated by Jiang Lan, Zheng Shichao turned his attention to Cai Shuwen.
On one side is the stubborn cactus, and on the other side is the gentle and considerate little wild flower, his heart immediately shifted.
Cai Shuwen was originally a fan of Zheng Shichao. When Zheng Shichao didn't pay much attention to her, she wanted to rush over.
Now Zheng Shichao, who was lonely and unbearable, extended an olive branch to her. She was overjoyed and fell in love directly.
The two soon became a real CP outside the show, and they were already openly dating in private.
Jiang Lan and Hanhai, as the plastic CP in the show of these two people, suddenly had a feeling of mutual appreciation.
"The director team...really..." Hanhai sighed a lot in his spare time.
Jiang Lan just smiled when he heard it. There was nothing wrong with the director team doing this. After all, ratings were the first priority.
She simply thought that Cai Shuwen was hopeless in love, and out of morality, she even hinted to the other party to be careful of scumbags.
As a result, this girl thought that Jiang Lan wanted to snatch men from her, and this hostility became more and more obvious.
When recording the show normally, this dagger in the eye also flew over "swoosh swoosh swoosh", which was quite speechless.
After the recording of the show was completed, several people parted ways.
After returning to the company, Jiang Lan took the initiative to ask the agent for more work. Of course, her job was not to take on any scripts to act.
The original owner's acting skills were not very good, but Jiang Lan was even worse, and she definitely couldn't make a living as an actor.
Nowadays, variety shows are the most profitable in the country, and Jiang Lan thought it would be good to make some money from them.
The company signed a 10-year contract with Jiang Lan. Now, 6 years have passed, and her career has been tepid.
It can be said that apart from her looks, she has nothing else to show for it.
The blooming period of female artists in the entertainment industry is very short. Jiang Lan is now 27 years old, and she will start playing the role of a mother in a few years.
The agent brought some variety show invitations to Jiang Lan, and she flipped through them casually, but she was not very satisfied.
Most of these variety shows are small B-level or C-level variety shows, either about love or singing and dancing. They look very boring, and more importantly, the pay is very low.
"Are there any wilderness survival shows? Military shows? Or scientific research shows?"
The agent thought he had misheard and asked, "What? Say it again."
Jiang Lan repeated what she had just said, and her meaning was very clear. She wanted to participate in a variety show with real strength and didn't want to be a vase.
The agent looked at her with a headache, "What are you thinking about? There are variety shows of this kind, but they won't invite you. Can you be a little self-aware?"
Jiang Lan's vision is good. The variety shows she wants to participate in are at least A-level or above.
Unfortunately, there are many people vying for such a big pie, and it is not the turn of Jiang Lan, a rookie with no background and no real strength.
"So it's true? Then can I join?"
The agent raised a sarcastic arc at the corner of his mouth, "If you agree to have a few drinks with Mr. Sun, maybe you will have a chance."
Mr. Sun, the agent was talking about, was a senior executive of the entertainment company where Jiang Lan worked,
and he was an out-and-out old pervert. The original owner was not a career-oriented person, and she was quite repulsive to men, so she never participated in any banquets and drinking parties, and never took the big cakes drawn by old men. Therefore, over the years, her resources were a little poor, but she was able to survive safely.
"Forget it, I'll figure it out myself."
The agent looked at Jiang Lan with a look of regret, thinking that she was wasting this perfect face.
"Jiang Lan, you are not young anymore. The resources you have now are what others have left. That Bai Weiwei, in terms of looks and figure, is not even as good as one of your fingers. But she is with Mr. Shi, and now she is the top lady in the company, and has a lot of S-level resources."
When the agent first saw Jiang Lan, he was amazed, thinking that with such looks and figure, it must be a gift from God, and it would be unjust if she didn't become popular.
Who knew that the other party was a salted fish, not to mention her average business ability, but also particularly self-disciplined, and refused to accept any grievances, like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard.
Jiang Lan didn't even raise his eyelids, and said lazily: "Congratulations to her, it's not easy to eat this bowl of rice."
It's really not easy to serve someone with beauty. First of all, you have to pass the moral hurdle, secondly, you have to challenge your own aesthetics, and finally, you have to suppress your temperament.
The sponsor is not so easy to please. How many women can still smile like a flower and be attentive and considerate in front of a greasy old man with a fat brain. Many
things in the entertainment industry are beyond one's control. This money is really not easy to make. Jiang Lan will not envy or despise it.
"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to tell you, you can choose these by yourself. If you really can't find it, you just act honestly for me, and I will arrange the script for you."
After saying that, the agent went out a little impatiently.
Jiang Lan has no special privileges. As an agent, she has several artists under her. Many of them are the company's cash cows and are much more economically valuable than Jiang Lan.
If the company is unreliable, you can only rely on yourself.
Jiang Lan also has principles. She did not try to steal other people's cakes. She directly signed up for several programs.
For example, the "Battle of the Brain King" that was very popular last season started recruiting contestants again this season, and Jiang Lan decisively signed up.
After signing up, Jiang Lan began to count the assets of the original owner.
It is true that artists in the entertainment industry can make more money than ordinary people, but the cost is also huge.
The original owner was not a top artist, she could barely enter the third line, and the income from filming a TV series was far from as exaggerated as the rumors on the Internet.
The legendary daily salary of one million is a treatment only for the top stars, and the original owner is not that awesome.
Excluding the high taxes, her salary has to be split 80% with the company, 80% for the company and 20% for the artist, which is almost like working for the company.
For a longer TV series, the share is indeed one million, and for a shorter one, it may be only a few hundred thousand.
The original owner is not one of the popular artists who have constant film contracts, and she has to fight for every opportunity, so most of her income comes from advertisements, after all, her looks are there.
Jiang Lan did some calculations and found that the original owner now has about 5 million in liquid funds. She bought a 400-square-meter flat in the core area of S City two years ago, spending most of her savings. Now she needs to pay back a mortgage of 200,000 every month.
It is so realistic that even celebrities have to pay back mortgages... The pressure of life is so huge.
Jiang Lan knows that money makes money the fastest, so the big guys like to play stocks.
But she doesn't understand stocks, so she hacked into the computers of Babat, the stock god of Lighthouse Country, and Mang Guo, a famous investor.
She buys whatever they buy, and sells when they sell.
She also made a small program to automatically detect stock market fluctuations, automatically follow and automatically buy and sell, without her having to watch at all.
Hey, others play A-shares, I play lighthouse stocks, even if I cut leeks, I cut leeks from outside.
