become famous with a kiss

"How many people do you think he slept with?" Senior's malicious question rang in Ning Ze's ear.

At the party held for celebration, another round of drinking activities has been carried out, and everyone is slightly drunk now.Ning Ze was the last to arrive, so he remained barely sober despite his poor drinking capacity.He shrank in the innermost position of the private room, he didn't want to coax him or move around, he only tried to reduce his sense of existence, but he still couldn't avoid being approached by gossip.

"I guess there are at least fifty of them." The senior who entered the company two years earlier than him was full of alcohol, muttering an explosive speech, "Don't look at him like this, according to my friend, in Those big bosses are very open-minded, threesomes... fivesomes are normal, if necessary, just kneel down on the spot..."

"Senior, you are drunk." Ning Ze interrupted him hastily, anticipating that the following words would become more and more unpleasant.Normally, he would show the greatest patience to deal with this kind of gossip, but tonight he himself was in a state of confusion, and he couldn't listen to such speeches at all.

"I'm not talking nonsense." The senior thought that Ning Ze didn't believe it, so he pouted at the center of the box, "Look at Xiao Bin, he was not as good as you in singing and dancing before, but he made his debut earlier than you. It turned out that he was the youngest member of their group, and he was not very popular at first, but now he is able to film with Guan Baiyan, what do you think is his reason?"

Ning Ze couldn't help but look sideways at his stern words.

At a glance, he found that although the cheeks of the gossiping person next to him were flushed, his eyes were clear and there was no trace of drunkenness at all.

In fact, Ning Ze is not familiar with this senior from the same company at all. He can't even remember his surname. Due to lack of caution in personality and mistakes in dealing with the media, he was severely scolded by his agent in front of everyone.This period of time was about the trough of my life, and I was extremely unhappy.

This speech of drinking and pretending to be crazy was probably aimed at Xiao Bin because of jealousy, and towards Ning Ze... probably because of a sense of superiority mixed with pride.

After all, in "Hualing International", people like Ning Ze who are 22 years old but have not yet made their debut are the real bottom.

"Xiao Bin has been working very hard and has made rapid progress." Ning Ze smiled, just wanting to end this topic as soon as possible.

"Hey, it's also..." Didn't get the expected response, and the senior who was originally full of eBay also felt a little dull.He curled his lips secretly, stood up, and shouted loudly to Xiao Bin who was surrounded by everyone, "Xiao Bin, I haven't respected you today, you have to drink this cup no matter what!"

"Thank you, Brother Li Zheng." The voices in the room were noisy, and Xiao Bin, who was a little far away, actually heard them.He accurately called out the name of the senior he hadn't met a few times, and drank the wine in his hand with a respectful gesture, with a lovely smile on his face that never faded.

The refreshing and sincere performance immediately attracted a burst of applause and more toasts.

Ning Ze looked at him through the crowd, feeling a little dazed for a while.

Four years ago, in fact, he and Xiaobin were training as trainees together, and they have already decided to debut as a group.Ning Ze was three years older than him, and at that time his singing and dancing skills were better than Xiao Bin's. He took good care of him during training and rehearsals, and Xiao Bin always called him "brother" affectionately.But unexpectedly, on the eve of the preparation for the first performance, Ning Ze's voice problem occurred, and the team of the two disbanded immediately.Soon after, Xiaobin was assigned to the "ThreeOfYou" group, formed "FourOfYou" with the original members, and debuted as the youngest member at only 15 years old.Ning Ze lost his voice for a while, and gradually recovered after a year and a half, but because he missed this opportunity, he was always delayed.

Xiaobin just turned 19 last month, but it has been four years since his debut.In a place where the music scene changes so fast, many singers who have just debuted, including Ning Ze, who is still a trainee, respectfully call him "senior".Four years have passed, but this boy still maintains the appearance of the popular Japanese boy, with big black and moist eyes like Bambi, long eyelashes like butterfly wings, a small nose, a face as big as a palm, and a soft and docile body. With chestnut hair, he is called "Xiaobin Angel" by many fans.

Due to the effect of alcohol, the boy's fair and tender face was smudged with a beautiful blush.Such a pure appearance made it impossible for Ning Ze to connect him with what the senior said just now.

but……

Ning Ze thought about why he was called here today, and immediately felt agitated.

His gloomy gaze collided with Xiaobin's excited gaze in mid-air, Ning Ze immediately turned his eyes away, Xiaobin was stunned, and walked towards him through the crowd.

"Brother Ningze, you don't talk when you come here, do you think you can stop drinking by hiding?" Xiaobin tilted his head and smiled habitually, revealing the small dimple at the corner of his left lip, "Come, I respect you."

"Okay." Ning Ze nodded, raised his head and drank a large glass of cocktail.

It would be a lie to say that Xiaobin can get today's results, but Ning Ze has no grudges in his heart. After all, the feeling of being surpassed is not good.But he didn't feel jealous or resentful, because he had seen Xiaobin's efforts since training together.This slender boy had fractured many times due to over-training for dance practice, but he never complained.

So Ning Ze would rather believe that everything he has gained today is due to his own tenacity.

After drinking the first glass of wine, Xiao Bin didn't leave, and Ning Ze didn't speak again.

After a while, looking at the laughing crowd in the distance, Xiao Bin suddenly said softly, "Brother Ning Ze, don't you want to toast me? I'm going to act with Guan Baiyan this time, it's Guan Baiyan..."

Hearing Guan Baiyan's name, Ning Ze's heart skipped a beat.

That is also Ning Ze's idol. At the beginning, he insisted on entering the showbiz regardless of his family's opposition, probably because of his admiration for Guan Baiyan.

For today's artists, whether they are powerful singers or youth idols, Guan Baiyan has already stood at the height of a dream.

Guan Baiyan, 25 years old this year, is already a veritable superstar.

Eight years ago, at the age of 17, he was the captain of the song and dance group "The Top".As soon as it appeared, without any transition, it was already a hit.It is precisely because of the success of this combination that "Hualing International" jumped from a mid-level brokerage company at that time to an oligarch in the entertainment industry.

Three years ago, when he was the same age as Ning Ze now, "The Top" has already become a well-known sky group in Asia.In order to allow Guan Baiyan to develop better, Hualing International did not hesitate to dismantle "TheTop", which was in full swing, and even caused the company's stock price to drop for a time.But Guan Baiyan did not disappoint the executives. His solo album "Lord Is Back" was on the top of various music charts as soon as it was released, and sold 100 million copies of the original CD alone.The media couldn't help exclaiming, it turns out that Guan Baiyan alone is worth the "The Top" of five people, and it should have been so long ago for Guan Tianwang to fly solo.

A year ago, Guan Baiyan started to move across the border to the film and television drama market, but the critics were generally not optimistic at that time.

It just so happened that a well-known American director was about to make a nostalgic film at that time.The purpose of this film is not to box office, but to win awards, so the storyline is artistic, sad and twisted. ——In the [-]th century, a handsome young aristocrat came to a certain British oriental colony to expand his family business.There, he met the daughter of a local manor owner.The girl's sweetness quickly attracted him, and the girl fell in love with him at first sight, but when the young man came to propose marriage to the girl's parents, he saw his sweetheart's younger brother for the first time, a young man with peerless beauty.Although the young man tried to resist, he still immediately fell into this inextricable demonic love.He soon married his fiancée, just to be by the boy's side day and night.He watched the boy grow up day by day, and he himself became a devil day by day.After the death of his father-in-law, he inherited the entire manor, and in the name of ensuring safety, he did not allow the boy to step out of the house, nor did he allow anyone to talk to him, but he did not dare to confess his love to him because he was afraid of refusing.He pushes his mother-in-law down the stairs after she finds out about his infidelity crush.Because of the depression he couldn't get rid of, he beat his pregnant wife in a frenzy, causing her to have a miscarriage and then unable to bear children.But in the end, the boy died of loneliness and disease.Before he died, he told his brother-in-law that he hoped he could take good care of his sister.After the boy's death, the man became a gentle husband again, but his cruelty and enthusiasm disappeared with the boy's death, and he was no longer humane, so he could only spend his remaining days in the manor full of the boy's phantoms.

Throughout the film, the aristocratic young couple is the real protagonist. The young man does not appear many times, but he is a crucial figure, symbolizing the most dreamy, most repressed and most unfulfilled desire in people's hearts.If the appearance of the actor does not reflect this, then no matter how well the protagonist is played, the turning point of the story will feel stiff and unbelievable.

In order to find this crazy young man, the director of the film held a massive selection process throughout Asia, with as many as [-] people interviewed, but he still failed to find a suitable actor.Until a certain charity event, he discovered Guan Baiyan who accompanied Hualing International's senior executives to the dinner.

The director, who was struggling to find a candidate for the role, immediately approached him after noticing him, but it caused the senior management of Hualing International to go into a rage on the spot.That high-level executive was also well-known in the industry for his fiery temper. That time, he was not polite and beat the curly-haired uncle with a beard who coveted the company's treasure to the ground.But after punching him a few times, he couldn't beat him any more, because someone rushed up to persuade him, and because the director's face was covered in blood, he still stared at Guan Baiyan and shouted "I have finally found", "It's really unbelievable"...

In fact, Guan Baiyan has already heard about the selection of roles in this film, but the predetermined age of the teenager in the film is 17 years old. He felt that the 24-year-old himself was not suitable at all, so he did not consider it from the beginning.But the director has always insisted that only he is qualified for this role, and believes that Westerners generally cannot see the age of Asians.

Later, although it took quite a long time to convince Guan Baiyan himself, and even delayed the progress of the entire film, making the Hollywood stars who played the male and female roles quite critical, the director always thought it was worth it.In hindsight, the film's massive success also backs up his point.

This film translated as "Oriental Garden of Eden" made a big splash at the major international film festivals that year, and helped the creators win many heavyweight awards, including several best film, best director and best film awards. Best Actor Award.

In the 150-minute movie, the boy played by Guan Baiyan only played for more than ten minutes, and most of the time there are no lines. But if you ask the audience who is the most impressive character, seven out of ten people will answer yes That boy, the remaining three will be said to be the leading actor.

"Oriental Garden of Eden" achieved great success. Although it was not officially released in China due to content restrictions, it did not affect people's understanding of it from various other channels, and Guan Baiyan became famous in the film and television circle.

Now, although he has not won relevant awards, he undoubtedly has a bright future in the film and television industry.According to the normal development route, he should continue the route of famous directors, famous actors, blockbuster movies, and big productions.

But Ning Ze knew that Xiaobin was about to join the crew of an idol drama, and he was going to be the second male lead in the film, so Guan Baiyan was of course the leading male lead.

The current idol dramas, no matter how well-produced and popular they are, are not chosen by the famous actors.Because once you perform, to a large extent, it is equivalent to being labeled as a vase.Guan Baiyan, who has already boarded the international line, is willing to lower his social status to such an extent, it must be said that it is really surprising.

Moreover, no matter how popular Xiaobin is now, the gap between his status and Guan Baiyan's status is still far apart. Once the ratings are not good, the criticism from the outside world will focus on Guan Baiyan alone.This is undoubtedly quite risky for Guan Baiyan, who is still a newcomer in film and television, and Hualing International's arrangement is simply incomprehensible.

But these doubts obviously did not affect Xiaobin's good mood, because everyone knows that with Guan Baiyan's help, this idol drama will definitely become popular before it is released. Once it becomes a topic again, it will undoubtedly bring Xiaobin's career to another peak .

That's why Xiaobin's manager came forward today to gather the artists under his banner to hold such a celebration party.

"Brother Ning Ze, don't you want to toast me?" Xiaobin asked again, "When we were practicing together, you always said that I have problems dancing here and singing badly there. Without your guidance, I would How could there be today? In my heart, I always feel that the person I should be most grateful for is actually you."

Ning Ze was taken aback by these words.

He wasn't sure if he was supercilious, and he always felt that the words of thanks seemed to be hidden in the needle.

But looking sideways, the smile on Xiao Bin's face is so sincere, even so transparent that it doesn't contain any impurities, only the wet eyes can make people see that he really drank too much.

"It's your own hard work, thank me for what?" Ning Ze forced a smile.

Xiaobin didn't seem to notice his gaffe at all, and continued, "Brother Ning Ze, don't worry. Your appearance is top-notch even in the company, and your strength is also great. Now you just lack a chance. Another day, Brother Lu Jia and I Let’s talk about it. If you drag it on, even if you make your debut, you won’t be popular for a few years..."

To some extent, what Xiaobin said was indeed the truth.

It is no longer the golden age of the recording industry, and the career life of singers is even shorter.It is difficult for male and female idols who sell youth, sexiness, and attractiveness to have a market after the age of 30. After all, the most indispensable thing in this circle is a lot of fresh beauties.

Therefore, artists who are singers nowadays usually debut in their teens. A 22-year-old like Ning Ze who is still a trainee, no matter how talented he is, has already lost at the starting line.

Now Ning Ze urgently needs help and opportunities, which is why he came here today, but he never thought that he would hear such words from Xiaobin at this time and here.

Now, even if Ning Ze tried to persuade himself not to think wrongly, he could still hear the ridicule in the words of the man he thought of as his younger brother.

This is the case in this circle. It has almost become people's nature to follow the red and step on the white, and chase the rise and kill the fall.It's just that he never thought that the advice he gave out of good intentions back then would have long been regarded as a sign of contempt by the other party.

Ning Ze wanted to explain, wanted to deny, but at the end of the thought, there was only a wry smile, "Xiaobin, we were all young back then, if I offended you at that time, I hope you will forget about it after drinking this cup." Come on, I wish you a big hit in your new drama."

Xiaobin was startled, and the smile he had been maintaining disappeared suddenly. He was silent while holding the wine, and after a while, it seemed that he was about to say something, but Lu Jia's voice came from the other side, "Xiaobin, you hide in the corner and do something. What? The title song I ordered for you is here, why don’t you come over soon? Maidu is ready for you!”

The men and women over there were already booing, clapping and shouting in unison, "Xiao Bin! Xiao Bin! Xiao Bin!"

In the backlight, a gloomy look flashed across the young man's delicate and delicate face. He didn't look at Ning Ze again, but turned his head to show a smile to everyone, blinking his eyes half-real, "Come on! I'm done singing, how about you?" Everyone applauds enthusiastically, no one can be lazy."

As he spoke, he returned to the middle of the clamoring crowd, like a moon surrounded by stars.

Ning Ze drank the glass of wine alone.The strong cocktail made his throat sore. Normally, he wouldn't touch these throat-irritating liquids, but today he just wanted to get himself drunk, so maybe he wouldn't have to face everything behind.

He had just finished his second cup when he heard someone beside him say, "Can't you see it when you're drunk? Or are you so jealous that you don't even dare to look at it?"

The box was so stuffy and noisy, but the voice was so cold that Ning Ze shivered.

He turned his head and saw a thin man in his thirties sitting beside him, puffing.

The room's entertainers were all gaudy and smartly dressed, except for this one in gold-rimmed glasses and austere three-piece suits.Artists all have exquisite eyebrows and appropriate makeup, but his mediocre appearance is inlaid with a pair of sharp eyes, which always makes people feel that if he takes a look, they will be peeled off.

He is addicted to cigarettes and never leaves his hands. Many female artists secretly frowned because they couldn't bear the smell of smoke, but no one dared to express their dissatisfaction.

Because he is Lu Jia, the senior manager of Hualing International, the big manager of Xiaobin's group "FourOfYou", and Guan Baiyan's only manager in the eight years since his debut.

Lu Jia looked at Xiao Bin who was singing intoxicatedly with his eyes closed, and slowly said to Ning Ze, "Don't you think it's unfair? Even now, your strength is no worse than him, but he is already so popular... If If you hesitate any longer, time will not wait for anyone. I will ask you one last time, and if you do not agree, I will not mention it again in the future. "

In terms of appearance, Ning Ze can be said to be a darling favored by the heavens.Slanted heroic eyebrows, bright and sharp eyes, high nose bridge, full and soft lips, there is a kind of sexiness and beauty that ordinary men cannot match.And the proportion of the figure is excellent. Due to the relationship between years of dancing practice, the muscles are tight and strong, and the appearance of the whole person is wild and sexy, which is quite attractive to both men and women.

His hair is a natural brown with a slight curl.At this time, these fluffy hairs were covering his cheeks along with the movement of his lowering his head, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.

Lu Jia lowered his eyes slightly, but saw that Ning Ze's hands were tightly clutching an empty goblet, his knuckles turned white, and he almost crushed the crystal glass.

Lu Jia sighed, patted Ning Ze on the shoulder suddenly, and said in a more relaxed tone, "I know it's difficult to make such a decision, so I won't force you, not to mention that the most important thing about these things is that you have to figure it out... ...I'll wait for you in the garage in a while, let me know when the time comes."

Just at this time, Xiaobin's song ended.

Some of the people in the room whistled, some booed and clapped, and some bold female artists rushed forward to give them kisses. Everyone praised him for singing so well, he was simply the king of singers of a generation.

The attitude of the seniors and the younger generations flattering and flattering the popular stars is simply like the stars holding the moon.

During the uproar, the cup in Ning Ze's hand finally shattered, and Lu Jia lit another cigarette. Xiao Bin looked at Lu Jia and Ning Ze who were sitting together through the crowd, and frowned almost imperceptibly.
