Eighteen bronze figures in the entertainment industry

Recently, I always have a feeling of living in a dream.

It's not that you encounter incredible events, but you suddenly understand that life is like a dream. You think you can finally get out of this dream, but when you wake up, it may be another dream.

In these dreams one after another, I don't know the beginning or the end.After taking over the role of "Phoenix" and confessing to Jiang Yilan, after these two events that are full of meaning to me, the future path has not become clearer, but has become more unclear.

My confession is not the end, but more like a new beginning, a confusing beginning.The same is true for movies. The completion of shooting does not mean the end of the movie. The release, box office, and word-of-mouth of viewers are all part of the movie, even a crucial part.

True to the film's title, being the high-flying Phoenix is ​​no easy feat, and shortly after all the filming was over, I got word that "Phoenix" seemed to be having some trouble getting it to trial.

However, within a few days, some media confirmed that, as a cooperative newspaper of "Phoenix", "FAST Entertainment News" was the first to give this news with regret - "Phoenix" could not pass the review, and the five editions of the edits it provided did not pass. , in the near future, or for a long time, it will not be able to be released in China.

It should be said that this result was unexpected and reasonable. Zongju has always thought of singing in the middle of the night. Since the costume restriction began, no one knows when it will make strange moves.In the past few years, Zongju has been similar to schizophrenia. While certain plays are strictly prohibited, some Tianlei plays are leniently let go.Its back is always tight and sometimes loose. When it is loose, you will feel that the scale of the film is unbelievable, but when it is tight, it will never allow any film that goes against her wishes to pass through.

The same-sex scale is too large, the propaganda is inappropriate, and the teacher-student relationship and the student's puppy love and early sex have a bad influence-this is what Zongju means.

Unfortunately, we hit a gunpoint. Some people suggested that we should either blur the emotion in the film or change it to BG, but Jiao Tian refused.We originally planned to start vigorously with a low-key style before the publicity period changed, but the delay in review by the General Administration made the exposure rate drop suddenly. The media didn't know whether to report such a movie, and the promotional posters in the theater were nowhere to be found. It, the warm-up before the release that should have been three months in advance, and the recommendation of new movies in the theater, did not have it.

Seeing that the release date is getting closer day by day, Jiao Tian can't sit still. I once speculated that she was anxious to release the movie because she wanted to catch up with Jiang Qi's birthday. Awaiting trial, looking forward to awaiting trial with uncertain results.She called us protagonists directly and said that she would take us to France for a tour.It turned out that she had already prepared with two hands. After filming, she had already cut a version and sent it to foreign countries for the Palme d'Or. "Phoenix" was shortlisted for the Palme d'Or in Cannes, which first aroused the topic and was then released in North America.

Although it is a pity that she was not able to receive an award, and although Director Jiao was considered by the General Administration to be a trick behind the scenes and angrily deprived her of the right to direct new films for two years, her actions did bring "Phoenix" back to life.Films that should have been silenced and forgotten gradually became popular on the Internet, including 100% high-definition MKV files with subtitles, as well as discussions about characters.I occasionally go online to see if there are any new reviews. Although the reviews I find are few, they are all well written.I was more impressed by a post in a famous entertainment forum. It was very funny. The host of that post actually liked not the main CP of the movie, but the CPs of Liang Jun (me) and Gu Lin (Li Yiran). All kinds of forced explanations of the movie plot, there are really a thousand viewers and a thousand Hamlets. Although it is outrageous, it is cute.

Then, just today, I was watching Jiang Yilan's show in the living room, and I received a call from my mother. She fiddled with the computer and asked for my help. She is half computer illiterate and determined to learn how to download movies.

"Yes, that's right, just click on the icon like a bird, that is downloading software, can you find it in Xinxin? Copy that address into it." I tried my best to guide her, but at this moment I didn't know that she was looking for me film of...

"Enen, it worked. Xiaoxia, it prompts that the download has started. I'm so happy, I can finally see my daughter's work."

"Uh...Mom, are you downloading my movie?"

"Of course, why else would your mother bother you at this age."

"..." I said cautiously, "The content is more literary, not so popular, and it is different from the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law battles you usually like to watch. You have to be mentally prepared."

"It doesn't matter, Mom is just watching you. Who cares what the content of the movie is, as long as you can see my good daughter's face."

Is it really okay to say that...

"Okay, okay, as long as you're happy. Mom, you just wait for the line, I'm closing the line."

"Hey, wait, Xiao Xia, why is the progress bar stuck?"

"Take a look, is it because you clicked on the task with the mouse excitedly just now, and it became paused?"

"Two vertical lines means pause, right?" My computer-blind mother could understand how hard it is, and she said, "I'll click again, right, um, that's it."

Listening to the joyful voice over there, I couldn't help laughing, who is the mother and who is the daughter? If she is so unstable, what should she do?

When I was thinking this way, the microphone over there seemed to be handed over, and another voice came out of nowhere.

"After all these years, I made such a film, and it can't be released in the cinemas of my own country." The voice came from my father...

"..." I was silent for a few seconds, as if I was looking for a place to breathe, I silently stood up from the sofa and moved to the window, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I have to correct your statement , I’ve done a lot of movies, not just this one.”

On the phone, his voice sounded indifferent and sarcastic: "That kind of scene with no face? I'm afraid only your mother can recognize you."

I looked at the endless flow of people outside the window, and felt as if I was also submerged in the moving heads: "I—"

There was a loud noise, and the phone rustled.

After a while, the rustling stopped: "Xiamen, don't pay attention to your father, it's obviously something to be happy about, look what he said..."

The microphone seemed to be snatched back by my mother, she comforted me.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if he looks at it or not. It doesn't matter if he doesn't like it." I touched the mimosa Lanlan gave me with my fingertips, and it closed like my heart facing my father.

"How could he not like his daughter's work? How dare the old man not like it? If he says he doesn't like it, it's up to his mother to deal with him. Actually... your father is actually going to watch it with me. Don't be angry with our children, your father will Mouth is stinky, heart is soft."

"Who said you need to watch it!" followed by an angry retort, "This kind of ignorance, emotional confusion, upside down, a group of women get together to reverse yin and yang, who wants to watch it!"

"It's better not to look!" I also choked back loudly, even though he might not be able to hear it.

The mother in the receiver suddenly asked: "Old man, how do you know so much, have read it in advance?"

"...Who has read it in advance, there are many comments like this on the Internet!"

I said unhappily: "This is a pre-planned evaluation in your heart! It's not that I don't have access to the Internet!"

I said, "This movie doesn't have too much sound. If you really search, you have to search through several pages to find it. It's really hard for you, an old man."

My mother sighed: "Obviously they are father and daughter, alas, why are they like enemies..."

"Mom, I still have something to do, hang up."

I looked up to see my distraught face reflected in the window.

A stubborn father is always like this, denying everything he doesn't like, rejecting everything he doesn't accept, and changing his mind is harder than heaven.

I'm afraid that will never change...

I patted my face: "Don't be depressed, believe in your choice."

The wind blew in through the crack of the window that didn't close tightly, and the mimosa swayed a little, as if nodding slightly.

I couldn't help laughing, alleviating the boredom in my heart a little.

"The soil seems a little dry, I'll give you some water." I went to the kitchen to scoop up some water with a cup, and poured it to it, which gave me a little comfort.

When Jiang Yilan handed it to me before, I thought the mimosa was a burden, but after taking care of it well, I developed feelings like a pet, and it was pleasing to the eye, and it was very quiet, and could listen to everything you said , just like Jiang Yilan who sat in front of me in the past.

"Oh..." Thinking of Jiang Yilan, I couldn't help but sighed, I touched the leaves of the mimosa, "I wish she was as obedient as you, she is so rebellious recently."

But no matter how rebellious she is, Jiang Yilan is still there.

Although what she said about continuing to replace Jiang Qi sounded like crazy talk to me, I still chose to wait for her and wait for her to finish the job.Although I am full of apprehension about this future, I think maybe she is more worried than I am.Honestly, all I can do is wait, that's the only hope, the hope for our relationship to continue.

"Oh, I haven't seen her for a long time."

I lay on the windowsill and talked to the mimosa.

The TV next to her was showing the show she starred in, and she couldn't touch or touch it, and it wasn't the real her.

If Jiang Yilan wants to play Jiang Qi, she will naturally do it in all directions. From what I can think of, she will take over all of Jiang Qi's schedules, and she will never show a trace of herself in front of others, like a real superstar To do things, as busy and lonely.And after "Phoenix" ended, we didn't have the time to spend together intensively. The meal we agreed on at the time was postponed because of her temporary commercial filming abroad, and we attended the film in France. Afterwards, I rushed back to the country immediately, during which the spotlight was the whole process and there was no time to get along privately.

We have been separated from the movie roles, and the number of times we have been brought together is very small, except for the report about "Phoenix" written by Cheng Qing, who mentioned that she admired me, there is no more.The schedule has also changed to the sky and the ground. She is flying in the sky and I am taking a bus underground. I can't see her.I remembered again that she asked me to wait for her. If she really wants to replace Jiang Qi for a long, long time, then the distance between us, the [-]th-line stand-in and the big star, is too far. "Phoenix" didn't become popular, nor did it make me popular. The distance between me and her is still the same.

But far is not a problem. I thought of my confession to her. Since I have already said it, I should not take it back. I promised to wait for her, but while waiting, I must do something.

I want to catch up with her.

Although she doesn't let me participate in her decision-making, I can't do nothing anymore. I have to work hard, even if I just stand by her side in the end, but at least she can still lend a helping hand when she needs it and when she is in trouble. Anyway It's definitely better than watching it on TV with nothing to do with it now.

To cheer myself up, I came to the office early to pick up another round of my schedule and see if there was any good work that could be done.

But when I got the schedule, I have to say, I was still disappointed.

It's a very regular schedule, with a few small supporting roles. The only one who can play is the third female lead in a romantic drama, who is the rebellious younger sister of the male lead.

While checking with me, Secretary Meng said to me:

"Recently, there are invitations to several popular variety shows. You should accompany Li Yiran to the show. You should know what not to say. Also remember the most important point. You must stop Li Yiran's bold speeches at critical times."

I nodded, feeling a little better, and finally had some different schedules.Letting me and Li Yiran together is probably because the production unit dislikes my popularity. In order to promote me, the company asked Li Yiran to be together, taking advantage of the recent popularity of the film on the Internet, by the way, relying on the film to appear on the show together and stir up popularity together.

"Well, when the time comes for these topics, someone will call you to review the draft, try to be as detailed as possible."

"Ok."

"That's all. I'm sorry that you have to do it all by yourself. We are also choosing an exclusive agent for you. I believe there will be progress soon."

Then she took out a piece of paper from the drawer of her desk: "Musia, here, you fill out this contract."

I was stunned: "Didn't you sign it?"

Secretary Meng explained: "Because I plan to send you a separate agent, the commission ratio will change, so I have re-drawn the three-party contract, and the previous one will be invalidated."

I took a look and pointed to one of the items: "There is no problem with the others, but how has the amount of liquidated damages with the company changed? What is the liquidated damages that need to be tripled if Mucha automatically asks to terminate the contract? It seems that it is a big one." look..."

Secretary Meng said: "Because the company is going to build you with all its strength, it needs a little guarantee."

I hesitated for a moment: "Build me with all your strength?"

Secretary Meng nodded: "The company also wants to grow bigger and bigger. It is naturally good to cultivate a few more stars."

Speaking of our company, we have recently made a lot of money by relying on the name of Jiang Qi. The staff has recruited many people, and the vacant floors upstairs have also been expanded. Many people have moved upstairs. The seating arrangement is the same as the office layout. Arrangements have changed.

"En?" Secretary Meng handed over a pen and motioned for me.

No matter how you think about it, there is no reason not to sign the contract. I signed it happily. According to Secretary Meng, my agent will not choose from new agents, but will prefer more experienced and qualified agents.

When she left, she said to me: "The company will handle it for you. After all, after Jiao Tian's movie, your chances of development are much better than before."

"Compared to before? Well... this is indeed..."

"The company has begun to value you, although the company's training plan for you was not like this at the beginning." Secretary Meng paused when he said this, as if he realized that he was talking too much, and cut off the conversation: "Today We'll stop here."

Ah, I heard the company's secrets when I was young. It turned out that I was not included in the company's original training plan.Thinking about the schedule I got after I joined the company, it is actually very obvious that the company really didn't value me at first...

But he still signed me despite not paying attention to it. It must be because of the favor of Manager Li. I thought as I entered the elevator, I was really lucky and got a big deal.

Looking at the contract in my hand, Secretary Meng's smile is still in my mind. Anyway, this is something to be happy about.

When the elevator is closed and running, why does it seem to me that it is not weightless but overweight, and it is rising?

I glanced at the numbers subconsciously, and sure enough, the numbers were climbing. Forget it, it’s okay to delay for a while. I was more concerned about Secretary Meng’s words, and I lowered my head to think.

In any case, the company is willing to give me development opportunities and resources at the right time, which is already very good.Although the liquidated damages are high, I have no reason to breach the contract, so don't worry too much.

The elevator door opened, and a person came in. With my head down, I glanced at the other person's shoes, men's leather shoes.

"Ding." About the first floor, the door opened again.

Someone again, I thought, but I didn't expect the person in front to walk out.

Need to take the elevator on the first floor?

There was a strange feeling in my heart, and I heard the sound of the elevator door closing.

I could have left it alone, but I involuntarily checked and raised my head.

The moment the elevator got on and off, the back reflected in my eyes made all the blood in my body flow back...

The author has something to say:

The person you least want to meet comes first.
