under fame

Zhang Yu didn't send Jiang Xiaoyu directly to the school, but went to Lu Huai's studio first, and asked Jiang Xiaoyu to chat with the colleague in charge of publicity.During Jiang Xiaoyu's filming, the Propaganda Department had already made a series of preparations. If she really became popular with Director Zhang's new film, her background would be dug up, and all kinds of contact requests for interviews would follow. Come on, without adequate preparation is absolutely impossible.Zhang Yu had only heard about Jiang Xiaoyu's background from Lu Huai, and didn't know much about it in detail, so he invited Jiang Xiaoyu to dinner to thank her for helping to get the photos last time, and wanted to get to know this girl better.

What Zhang Yu was worried about was not Jiang Xiaoyu's poor background, but her family relationship.If a celebrity comes from a prominent background, it is the icing on the cake. He is the "winner in life" that is sought after in this era. The headline of the news will be "So-and-so who has a huge family business but will not inherit it and insists on making a living on his own." The unspeakable background circulated in the media and folks adds a bit of mystery and is also a news point.And most of the celebrities come from mediocre backgrounds and their families are low-key, so it doesn't matter.I am afraid that the family relationship is complicated, and there is an unreliable parent or sibling.Once you accept an interview and say something inexplicable, it is simply a nightmare that cannot be shaken off.

"I heard that you have two younger brothers. What are you doing now?" Zhang Yu and Jiang Xiaoyu were halfway through their meal, and they had paid enough attention to their care and instructions before they began to make sidelines about her family relationship.

Jiang Xiaoyu went out to study for a few months, gained a lot of knowledge from Bai Rushui, and polished it in the crew for a while, she is no longer the same as when she first came to Beijing.Although she grew up with nothing but taking care of the family and studying, she didn't have any other thoughts, but once she opened her mind, her already brilliant mind became more active.As soon as she heard Zhang Yu's question, she probably guessed the purpose of the meal.

"Sister Yu," Jiang Xiaoyu gently put down his chopsticks, "My two younger brothers are not good at school, and they were supposed to go out to work this year. I told my parents that I would support them, so only one of them entered the county's vocational high school this year. , and one continues to study in the third year of junior high school."

Zhang Yu didn't say anything, just picked up the teapot on the table and refilled her a cup of tea, motioning for her to continue talking.

"Most of my scholarship has been given to my family. If Brother Li hadn't given me the opportunity, I would probably have found a way to go out to work... I received the film salary two days ago, and I saved a little for living expenses, and I called my family for the rest. It's gone." Jiang Xiaoyu pursed her lower lip, and continued, "My parents called specifically to say that I'm promising. My mother also said that if the two younger brothers don't make a name for themselves, they might have to rely on me in the future."

Jiang Xiaoyu's tone was normal, but when he said the last sentence, there was a hint of pride in the corner of his eyes, presumably it was rare to hear his parents praise him.

Zhang Yu sighed softly in his heart.

"There's nothing special at home, just a little poor." Jiang Xiaoyu brushed back the hair that fell out from behind her ears, raised her head and smiled, "Sister Yu, the colleague who promoted before asked me this. Poor, there should be nothing worth writing about. right..."

Zhang Yu calmly picked up a piece of fish, chewed and swallowed it carefully, and said nonchalantly, "There is nothing in the entertainment industry that is not worth writing about."

Jiang Xiaoyu was slightly taken aback.

"Look, if you are poor, you can write in the direction of inspiration. You, relying on your own efforts, got into the film academy and acted in movies directed by famous directors. Your future is bright and bright. You are the envy of thousands of girls. Idol." Zhang Yu said while picking up vegetables, his attitude was no different from that of ordinary middle-aged women chatting, "You can also write in other directions. For example..."

Zhang Yu deliberately paused, and glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu, Jiang Xiaoyu sat up unconsciously.

"For example, why you were able to fly to a branch overnight, is it because you have some ulterior relationship with Lu Huai, and for example, does your background determine your low self-esteem, you can sacrifice something in order to become famous, or are you He has limited vision, doesn't know many big names, and is a bumpkin who is excluded in the circle..."

Jiang Xiaoyu was humiliated so directly, even if the other party was her half-boss, she couldn't help but her face suddenly changed, and her eyelashes trembled with the slight trembling of her body.

"Xiao Yu, what I said is still predictable." Zhang Yu added some tea for her, "Our studio can praise you and shape you in an inspirational direction, and competitors can hurt you in the opposite direction. We can give you ten positive pieces of news, and countless potential opponents can give you ten times the negative news."

Jiang Xiaoyu moved the hand holding the cup up and down, concealing the uneasiness in his heart.

"If...you become famous, the possibility is almost 100% based on Director Zhang's influence," Zhang Yu continued, "your every move...for example, your current expression and eyes...will be shaped bit by bit. Your public image, over time, becomes who you are. The public doesn't care what you're going through when you're photographed, what's going on around you. They don't care if you heard me, they just see You're insecure, vulnerable, unsure at the moment."

Jiang Xiaoyu had imagined what would happen to her when she became famous, but what Zhang Yu said to her hit her more realistically than any of her imaginations.After all, she was a newcomer, and she couldn't adjust her expression for a while, and this helplessness made her even more uneasy.

"No matter what image we create for you, you are the one who will face the public in the end." Zhang Yu watched Jiang Xiaoyu almost bury her face, and softened her voice, "Being famous at a young age is a huge challenge. Under the microscope. You and your family should be fully prepared. People who are not strong enough will not be able to go on this road.”

Jiang Xiaoyu nodded almost invisibly.Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous. The film has just finished shooting, and Director Zhang's post-production will take at least half a year. You still have a long time to learn and practice until the intensive promotion period before the release. We will also give You prepare some interviews from time to time, so that you have some opportunities to be exposed. They are all media that have a good relationship with me, and the direction and rhythm will be well grasped. And... Lu Huai and Zhang Li, you should learn from them."

Zhang Yu mentioned Lu Huai and Zhang Li without shyness in front of Jiang Xiaoyu, and Jiang Xiaoyu's heart sank.However, there was no change on Zhang Yu's face, and on the contrary, he added a bit of kindness, "Xiao Yu, I heard that Lu Huai and Zhang Li recognized you as a godsister? This is not an opportunity for everyone. Based on this, your path will be It’s easier to walk a lot, and cherish this relationship.”

This could not have been more obvious.A trace of embarrassment flashed between Jiang Xiaoyu's eyebrows, and soon disappeared. She nodded vigorously and said, "I see, thank you, sister Yu."

"You are very smart, you are worthy of being a high-achieving student, and you will be outstanding in the future." Zhang Yu smiled, "I have a general understanding of your situation, and the company will weigh you in the future. It will not let you lose income, nor will it Don't worry about letting you take on bad-quality plays."

This was said very sincerely, and Jiang Xiaoyu gave Zhang Yu a grateful look.Zhang Yu pointed to the untouched food on the table, "Don't just talk, eat the food." After she finished speaking, she took out a small box that was exquisitely packaged and worth a lot of money from the handbag behind her, and pushed it to the river. In front of Xiao Yu, "That classmate of yours, the one who helped us get the photos, is a blogger, isn't he? Just be careful, please pass it on."

Jiang Xiaoyu finally knew that Zhang Yu's good relationship with the media was not just due to verbal fraternity. At that time, she could still remember this matter during the turmoil of the war. It is conceivable that she has done a lot of human relations with the media on weekdays. .

Jiang Xiaoyu put the small box in her schoolbag, thinking that Qin Fan's unscrupulous gossip career is also of such value.

After Zhang Yu sent Jiang Xiaoyu back to school, he sent a message to Lu Huai, to the effect that the limelight hadn't passed, so don't be too arrogant.Lu Huai quickly replied "I know."

708 was empty, it was common for Qin Fan to not be in the dormitory, and the other two went there for some unknown reason.Jiang Xiaoyu put the box on Qin Fan's desk, and sent Bai Rushui a WeChat message, "Honey, I'm back! Where are you?"

After a long time, Bai Rushui returned a "crying" expression, "Talking about work, I'm not as good as you, it's hard to say..."

Jiang Xiaoyu was lying on the bed bored, mourning for her crush who died before she was born, and recalling Zhang Yu's words. When she saw this message, she thought about what Zhang Yu said, "Not everyone has such a chance". Immediately, the feeling in my heart was unspeakable.But Bai Rushui seems to be from a wealthy family, why is he so impatient to go out to film?

"What job? What's the matter?" Jiang Xiaoyu intuitively felt that she shouldn't ask in detail, but the other party was Bai Rushui, so she thought about it before sending it out.

After waiting for a long time, Bai Rushui did not reply.Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at the timetable on her bedside, and couldn't help but start worrying about her final exam. She rolled over from the bed, sat down at the desk, and pulled out one textbook after another.

As the night grew darker, Zhang Li and Lu Huai left the lounge one after the other after half an hour. One drove the car stolen from Liu Yunfeng, and the other rented a car and left separately.

It was late at night when Lu Huai arrived home, and he sent Zhang Li a sentence, "Go to bed early, don't stay up late." Then he opened his work mailbox, which was the one he used to contact the owner of the mailbox assigned to Yu.

It has been two days since he took the initiative to send an email, and there is no reply.Presumably this is an infrequently used email address for temporary registration for extortion.Yu Bian forwarded the original email to him. He looked at the unkind words in the email and became more and more worried. If he didn't find out who was behind the scenes, he always felt that there was a pair of peeping eyes in the dark.

He is like this, so what about Zhang Li, a person who has never felt safe?
