Chapter 50

"@桔柚雜貨苪: I'm here."

"@姜糖必明火next年: OK, I'll come down to pick you up!"

Jiang Tang, who was lying on the bed, jumped up from the bed.

The person who said she was going downstairs was tidying up the room quickly, fearing that her sister with a mysophobia would come up and scold her.

Jiang Juyou, who was downstairs, was wearing a down jacket and a knitted hat on her head, wrapping herself up warmly. She stood here waiting for her sister while browsing the news on the Internet.

Since entering this circle, Jiang Juyou has become an Internet addict. She basically never leaves her mobile phone and has several small accounts on various platforms.

After the theme song of the program was released, she has been waiting for feedback from the audience on various platforms.

In the group chat, Li Yao and her friends chattered a lot, and even sent Jiang Juyou screenshots and pasted links from various platforms to discuss the audience's reactions.

This time, the song was selected by all of them. The three of them were the first to screen the songs, and they were the ones who suggested choosing a different theme song. In the end, Jiang Juyou picked one song from the more than 20 songs they selected and confirmed it as the theme song.

Li Yao created a small group for a few people. She sighed while reading the comments on the Internet:

"Li Yao: I feel so emotional. I used to be the one waiting nervously for the return, but now it's my turn to wait for fans' feedback." "

Zhao Xu: I am still very satisfied with myself. At least the word 'unpleasant' didn't become a trending search."

"Li Yao: I can only say that we really have great ears. It turns out that it wasn't my fault that they couldn't listen to the hit song I was responsible for before."

"Yang Siyu: You see how long we have been screening."

They joined the company just a few days after it was established, and screening songs has been part of their job since then. When they were screening songs, they were completely from the perspective of fans, but they were not ordinary fans.

Having been in the fan circle for many years and following many idols, they know one thing very well: only by going against the current can one leap forward.

When all the talent shows in the market were elimination-based, they launched a survival show without elimination. When all the shows were openly cutting leeks and secretly making money, they played the card of sincerity, and everyone could calculate all the income. When all the theme songs of talent shows were EDM dance music, they took a different approach and chose a completely new style of music.

This is just like when someone in the market took the lead in launching the Girls Crush group, and looking around the market, all the Girls Crush groups were everywhere. All those who follow the trend will eventually hit the beach like waves and tend to calm down. Only by going against the trend can you reach a new realm.

After Jiang Juyou selected this song, the four of them held a long meeting, discussing everything from the style to the concept, from the setting to the priorities. They didn't want this song to be a flash in the pan, nor did they want it to be popular only among the fans of the show, so from the story setting to the stage design, the four of them suffered a lot.

The three of them had chased stars, and the songs and stages they had heard and seen probably cost more than a thousand yuan, so it was easy to judge whether a song and stage were attractive or not. The one who suffered the most was Jiang Juyou, who didn't have these foundations, so basically she had been learning about this since she started this company.

After selecting this song, Jiang Juyou first wrote the first version of the lyrics according to the concept she had in mind, and after getting tired of it, she put it aside for a month and didn't listen to it again. It was only after a month that it was picked out again.

The reason for doing this is to make sure that even if you listen to it again after a period of time, it can still bring a sense of freshness, rather than being brainwashed by the melody because you have listened to it too much.

After repeated testing several times, the song was finally decided, and the time it was decided was when the program just started.

Jiang Juyou looked at the discussions in the group and received all good feedback, so she was relieved.

"Here!" After Jiang Tang went out, she found her sister standing stupidly in the distance. She was holding her mobile phone and looking down quietly. Several people passing by looked at her, but Jiang Juyou didn't notice it.

Jiang Tang wrapped his coat tightly and ran quickly in the direction of his sister, "Are you stupid, standing in the vent?" As he said that, he patted Jiang Juyou on the back vigorously.

"Ah! It hurts!" Jiang Juyou could still feel her sister's vicious hand through the thick clothes. She touched her back and her expression twisted.

It was afternoon now, and many crews had finished work and returned, and there were people coming and going.

Jiang Tang didn't want to embarrass herself with her sister, so she grabbed her arm and walked into the hotel.

Jiang Juyou, who had been surfing the Internet just now, only noticed the hotel her sister was staying in. She frowned and whispered, "Are you staying here?"

Jiang Tang immediately covered her mouth, "Wait until we get to my room before you open your mouth, okay?"

Jiang Juyou, with her mouth covered: "..." She could only nod.

It was completely different from what Jiang Juyou imagined the hotel where artists lived. This place looked like a student dormitory with good decoration.

The hotel has several floors. The outside is a simple layer of small white tiles. The inside is not very luxurious. In fact, because there are more people coming and going at this time, the road is messy and the ground is also relatively dirty.

Jiang Juyou looked around, her eyebrows were completely twisted together. She really didn't expect that the living conditions of artists during filming were so difficult.

Jiang Tang monitored Jiang Juyou all the way, and she didn't let go of Jiang Juyou's hand until she swiped the card to enter the room. "I'm just a maid. What good hotel can I stay in?"

She closed the door and went to get the kettle to pour some hot water for her sister.

The room was not big, just over 10 square meters, with a bed, a table, and a bathroom, nothing else, but on the table were a lot of things that Jiang Tang brought.

Jiang Juyou looked around the room again, then glanced at the quilt that hadn't been folded up on the bed, "..."

Jiang Tang looked at her, then quickly pulled out a chair in front of the table for her to sit on, "Sit here."

Jiang Juyou was very obedient at this time, and sat directly on the chair.

"Generally, the crews of low-cost TV series and web series live here, and only the main actors of big productions can live in the better hotels next door. Although I am participating in a big production, my role is small, just a maid, how can I be arranged such a good place to live." Jiang Tang said, handing the hot water in her hand to Jiang Juyou, letting her hold it to warm her hands.

Jiang Tang also explained to Jiang Jueyou, but Jiang Jueyou went to another place before coming, which was the hotel next door.

She went to see Zhai Keer. The princess role originally played by Jiang Tang was played by Zhai Keer, and the role was no longer a supporting role, but a special guest starring role, and the role was increased from three episodes to six episodes.

When Jiang Tang was not living there, Jiang Juyou simply thought that one hotel could not accommodate them, so the other half of the cast was arranged to stay somewhere else.

The reality is that they were indeed arranged to stay somewhere else, but not for that reason.

Jiang Tang lived here alone, without an assistant, and took care of everything by herself, while Zhai Ke'er over there had her own assistant and bodyguard.

Jiang Juyou once again lamented how important the word "popularity" is to an artist. Even if Zhai Ke'er's reputation on the Internet is not good, she still has her own fans, and the crew also knows that this role played by Zhai Ke'er may be a small opportunity for marketing outside the circle, so the treatment is naturally not bad.

After entering the room, Jiang Tang walked back and forth in the palm-sized room, looking a little uneasy. Seeing her, Jiang Jueyou said, "Sister, please sit down first."

"I came here mainly to see you and then to ask for leave for you in advance. You have to fly over when the final performance is broadcast live. Another thing is--" Jiang Jueyou said, taking out a thin script from her bag, "The company has set up its own film and television department. This is the first TV series to come out. Take a look."

Ignoring Jiang Tang's surprised look, she lowered her eyes and continued to explain, "It's an original script. The story outline and character biographies are on the first page. As for the protagonist, you may have some difficulties, but you can still choose one of the supporting roles. After all, it is produced by our own company."

"The story is not long. It is currently estimated to be about sixteen episodes."

"The theme is suspense."

"There is a character in it, although he doesn't have many scenes, but he is a very important supporting role."

Jiang Juyou didn't dare to look up when she said this. When other companies produce dramas, they always focus on their own actors to be the leading actors. When it comes to her, she can only play a supporting role. Jiang Juyou felt that her official appearance was a bit disgusting, so she didn't dare to look at her sister's eyes.

But Jiang Tang's attention was on the script at the moment. She caught the role that Jiang Juyou mentioned after just reading two lines, and raised her head to ask her, "Is it this person named Chen Ke?"

"Yes." Jiang Juyou suppressed the depression in her heart, cheered up and looked at her sister.

She continued to explain, "At present, we plan to meet the actors after the scripts of all 16 episodes are out, because the company has no outstanding works before, and the director and screenwriter have no experience in leading roles, so the actors' trust should be weak. If you are OK here, then you will be the first actor to be confirmed."

As soon as Jiang Juyou finished speaking, Jiang Tang couldn't wait to reply, "I'm OK, of course I'm OK!" She didn't understand why Jiang Juyou felt that she was unwilling to act.

Her excited look made Jiang Juyou feel a little at a loss, "Well, then... OK, then is your crew finished work now?"

Jiang Juyou kept rubbing his pants with his palms, and didn't know how to deal with the current situation.

After listening, Jiang Tang picked up her phone and looked at the crew group, and replied to Jiang Jueyou: "It's time to finish work. They said the director has returned to the hotel."

Before Jiang Jueyou could find an excuse to leave, Jiang Tang said: "Then go!"

"... Then I'll go first, and I'll send you a message after I'm done, and then we'll go eat hot pot."

"OK!"

After the door "clicked" closed, Jiang Jueyou finally realized what she had just said in the room.

"..."

How could she be needed to ask for leave for the artist? Jiang Jueyou's main mission this time was to meet the female lead of Jiang Tang's drama. It was rumored in the circle that her contract with the old company would expire, so Sister Cheng Yuan hoped that she could negotiate with her.

For some reason, Jiang Jueyou suddenly felt that she was full of the smell of copper.

Jiang Juyu: I’m sorry, sister!
