Actor, too deep into the play

Xiang Chen didn't even eat lunch, he left his assistant Xiao Guan, went to a tea restaurant alone, sat in a corner by the window, and carefully read the script of "Xuan Zhan".

"Xuan Zhan" is a big IP on the Internet. The original book has extremely high popularity and a huge fan base, and there are countless fan creations. Even if Xiang Chen has never read this book before, he has heard about it on the Internet.

Three or four hours later, after Xiang Chen finished reading the script, his heart was turbulent and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

He loves this script so much, and the male lead in the script is also the type of role he wants to challenge. With full characters, sufficient roles, and an excellent production team, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity for anyone. .

Xiang Chen couldn't put it down for the script of "Xuan Zhan", and finally believed what Hua Nan said, and the company began to pay attention to him.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiang Chen was still sitting in the tea restaurant, analyzing the role of the male lead in "Xuan Zhan" with his notebook, when his assistant Xiao Guan suddenly called.

"Boss, where are you? At 07:30 in the evening, we still have a red carpet for the grand ceremony."

It was only then that Xiang Chen remembered tonight's announcement, so he quickly packed up the notebooks on the table and hurried back to the company.

The night's grand ceremony was held at a sea view hotel, and this hotel happened to be not far from Xiang Chen's company, so Xiang Chen had enough time to prepare.

When Xiang Chen went to the company to prepare, he found out that the person who came to make up for him was Boc, commonly known as the gold medalist.

Boc is a man who specializes in designing makeup and hair for the company's first- and second-tier artists. He is well-known in the fashion field. Many artists have specified that they want Boc to do makeup and hair for themselves when they go abroad.

Xiang Chen didn't get this kind of treatment before.

"I didn't realize how handsome you are before." Looking at her finished makeup in the mirror, B

OC praised again and again, "If it wasn't for me being able to see whose face has moved, I would really think that your face has been manipulated."

Boc has done makeup and hair for first- and second-tier celebrities all year round. He has seen a lot of handsome men and beautiful women. He has long been immune to beauty and handsomeness, but staring at Xiang Chen's face, he still has a feeling that his eyes shine. .

Xiang Chen has a straight nose, thin lips and chin, and his facial features are exquisite but not feminine at all. His fair skin and the heroic spirit revealed between his eyebrows and eyes form a charming contrast.

Although Xiang Chen is only 1.7 meters six, his body proportions are excellent. His two sky-defying long legs make him look extremely sharp and neat. At first glance, he looks like a character who came out of a comic. The slightest blemish.

Xiang Chen didn't care about Boc's praise, and instead asked him why he had time to come over and make up for himself today, didn't he usually follow He Fan.

He Fan is another male artist of Xiang Chentong's company, and he is the most popular little fresh meat in Zhixiang Media.

"Of course Sister Nan asked me to come here." Boc said, "She said, I will be in charge of all the makeup and styling for your important events in the future."

Xiang Chen suddenly remembered what Hua Nan said at noon...

At this time, Xiao Guan took the suit and dress that Xiang Chen was going to wear tonight into the dressing room, and happily said to Xiang Chen, "Boss, this dress is provided by the VL brand."

VL, one of the four major luxury brands in the world, has a strategic cooperation with Zhixiang Media, but it has always only sponsored famous artists for clothing.

"Sister Nan asked you to bring it?" Xiang Chen asked.

Xiaoguan nodded vigorously.

After Xiang Chen changed into a suit and dress, Boc on the side rubbed his chin, looked thoughtfully at the handsome Xiang Chen in front of him, and kept nodding his head, "Well, not bad, I dare not say that the beauty overwhelms the audience." , but it can definitely be the focus.”

"It's just a fashion festival. According to the past, my red carpet shots will not exceed 30 seconds." Xiang Chen said with a smile, "In this circle, whether you can be the focus is not based on appearance, but on popularity."

Boc folded his arms around his chest, and looked at Xiang Chen leisurely, "I think you have been quiet for too long, so you don't know your self-awareness, baby, I have a good eye for people. Your type will definitely become a hit in the future."

"That's a good word for you."

Xiang Chen boarded the hotel on his way to the fashion festival, and on the way told Xiao Guan that Hua Nan had given him the role of the male number two in "Xuan Zhan". After hearing this, Xiao Guan almost screamed excitedly.

"Boss, here's our chance to be popular!" Xiao Guan clenched his fists tightly, almost jumping up, "Last week, my mother went to visit Dafo Mountain, and I specially asked my mother to burn an extra stick of incense for you, Boss. It must have been a manifestation of God."

As he said that, Xiao Guan folded his hands together, prayed repeatedly outside the window, and muttered, "Thank God for taking care of my boss, thank God."

Xiang Chen slapped Xiao Guan on the forehead, he couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "Why are you so nervous, you're just participating in the performance, I don't know if it will be popular."

"Let's not talk about the script first, let's just talk about the partner of this cooperation." Xiao Guan's eyes lit up, "I've read the news on the Internet, this time the male lead of "Xuan Zhan" is the best actor Han Jinshen !"

Xiang Chen remembered that in the project document of "Xuan Zhan" that Hua Nan showed him at noon, Han Jinshen was indeed the male number one that had been set.

"What's wrong with him?"

"What's the matter, Boss, don't you pay attention to the trend of the entertainment industry? Han Jinshen, super traffic actor, let's not talk about his acting skills, let's talk about his popularity. Which film and television drama with him is not a hot topic? , the ratings are overwhelming, and being able to catch up with him, even if it’s just a little bit of popularity, is enough for us, by the way, boss, do you still remember the male second you were dismissed three years ago?"

Xiang Chen frowned slightly, "Of course I remember."

"At that time, Han Jinshen was the male lead in that show. Boss, after your male lead was removed, the company asked He Fan to come on top. It wasn't just because of the cooperation with Han Jinshen that He Fan was promoted to become the lead male lead. He is a traffic star, and He Fanna's acting skills are not even half as good as your boss, so guess how he rose to the top..."

Xiang Chen didn't take it seriously, and said lightly, "Of course it's due to the company's viral marketing hype."

"This is just one of them. The key point is that He Fan borrowed Han Jinshen's wind. At that time, 90.00% of the marketing drafts sent by the company to He Fan contained Han Jinshen, and the fat fans led He Fan's fans to fight against Han Jinshen's fans. The way of tying up abruptly lifted He Fan's position."

Xiang Chen plucked his ears, "That's marketing."

"Boss, why can't you grasp the point of my words, I mean..."

"I know." Xiang Chen interrupted Xiaoguan, "I just need to shoot the tricks well. Han Jinshen and Han Jinqian have nothing to do with me. I know that if you want to become famous in this circle, you must have promotion and marketing. With strength, Han Jinshen has been able to hold the top position for so long because he has actor-level acting skills. Even if he loses traffic in the future, he is still a convincingly capable faction, and like He Fan, who only relies on marketing alone, Those who don't have acting skills and are unwilling to hone their acting skills will not be able to play for a few years."

Unconvinced in Xiaoguanli, he muttered softly, "But He Fan is better than us, the capital is interested in his traffic, business and film and television resources are endless, never worry about no filming, but we..."

"Stop." Xiang Chen immediately stopped Xiao Guan, "Everyone has their own pursuit, and I said strength is more important, which doesn't mean I reject traffic. In a word, let's try to be ourselves, OK?"

Only then did Xiaoguan close his mouth resentfully, and when he was about to arrive at the hotel, Xiaoguan couldn't help but say, "Anyway, no matter what, Boss, you must be popular this time."

Counting the time, Xiang Chen's car arrived at the entrance of the hotel. After getting off the car, he stepped onto the red carpet, and walked up the steps leisurely with a smile on his back. He knew that he had no fans and no attention, so he also Did not deliberately greet both sides.

The media, who were blocked by the security guards on both sides of the red carpet, took a few shots at Xiang Chen. Although the fans at the scene did not scream for him, Xiang Chen's outstanding appearance and slender and handsome figure still attracted fans of other artists on both sides. There was a discussion.

"Hey, who is this? So handsome."

"You're so damn handsome, is he an actor or an Internet celebrity?"

"I know, it's... who is it, I can't remember it for a while, I saw his photo on the Internet before."

"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, no one is as handsome as my brother, my brother is coming, so focus on making noodles for my brother."

Xiang Chen signed his name on the signature wall, and then stood in front of the signature wall to accept photos from the media reporters. Ten seconds later, Xiang Chen gracefully bowed to the host, turned and walked to the side to enter the arena. Not far away, there was a burst of screams under the steps of the red carpet, and the flashlights of the media reporters flickered even more frantically when taking pictures.

It's He Fan!

He Fan is two years younger than Xiang Chen, but he joined Zhixiang Media half a year earlier than Xiang Chen. Under Hua Nan's careful construction, He Fan is now the most popular fresh meat of Zhixiang Media, and is extremely valued by Zhixiang Media cash cow.

He Fan's facial features have been slightly adjusted according to the company's requirements. He is even more handsome and perfect than a good-looking woman. His eyes are clear, his voice is clean, and he exudes a pure and innocent temperament. He currently has a huge fan base on the Internet. And at the moment, his fans also accounted for a large proportion of the scene, and the hysterical screams of the fans almost formed a monstrous wave that swept the audience.

He Fan's makeup tonight is still innocent, and the slightly drooping eyeliner at the corners of his eyes makes him extremely cute and charming. A large number of fans at the scene cried and shouted, "Fanfan, mom loves you! Mom loves you!!"

"Although He Fanren is very annoying, but his traffic is enviable to everyone, right?"

Xiao Guan had walked around to Xiang Chen's side at some point, and suddenly opened his mouth to startle Xiang Chen.

"He Fan's model is too replaceable." Xiang Chen said, "If I really want to find someone to envy, I also envy someone like Han Jinshen, who has double peak traffic and strength."

Xiaoguan joked, "Just now in the car the boss said he has no interest in Han Jinshen."

"Okay, I'm too lazy to argue with you, let's go in first."

Xiang Chen turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly there was another deafening scream behind him, and the flashing lights were even crazier than before.

Apparently another star has arrived on the scene.

Xiang Chen didn't seem to be interested, and walked forward without turning his head. Xiao Guan turned his head and glanced, and immediately grabbed Xiang Chen's arm and said excitedly, "Boss, Boss, it's Han Jinshen, it's Han Jinshen."

"What are you getting so excited about?" Xiang Chen didn't stop, "I'm going to be filming with him in the same crew in the future, and there are plenty of opportunities for you to watch."

"Yes." Xiao Guan said happily, "Would it be convenient to sign after that?"

"Hey, I don't see that you are still a fan of Han Jinshen."

"Fans don't. The main reason is that his autograph is too valuable. It can be sold online for as low as several thousand."
