Celestial Master [entertainment circle]

The entertainment industry is not easy, at least not as easy as Tang Xiaye imagined. There are countless idol artists who are handsome and talented but can't stand out.

There is a kind of fire called "virtual fire", just like a firework disappears at the moment of explosion, leaving only a little smoke and dust, which returns to the void after the smoke and dust clear.

Many people would turn into flame-flaming moths for the moment of brilliance they had experienced, and rush into the entertainment circle single-mindedly, but fortunately Tang Xiaye is a calm and down-to-earth person.

Magazines, scripts, MVs, variety shows... After he became popular, a lot of resources were sent to him. He eliminated those magazines that wanted him to continue to undress, rejected some roles he could not accept, and swept away unknown brands. Advertisement endorsement, find a suitable MV for cameo shooting, go to a variety show as a background board, or act as a clothing model for an online store.

After practicing one by one, he soon realized that he might not have the ability to enter the entertainment circle.

He has good looks and figure, but he doesn't have acting skills.

He may be emotional on the ice rink, but that is to awaken his emotions.

In addition to acting skills, an actor must also have the ability to empathize with the character...he is very lacking in this.

At best, he can only be a supporting actor with facial paralysis in idol dramas.

As for singing?Tang Xiaye has a good voice, with a little recognizability, but the range is relatively narrow, and he has not received systematic training, so he cannot develop another side of his voice, and his lines are extremely limited.

Finally, there are variety shows. He hates the scripts given by reality shows to make things happen, and he also hates the cameras that follow him all the time, even when he goes to the toilet, he may be caught.

What he is consuming now is his reputation as the "skating prince", so what about the future?

Will he give up his moral bottom line in order to climb up?

Since he became popular on the Internet, he has received some strange calls every day, some of which even marked him with a price.

"Hello, is this Tang Xiaye? Our boss is from the XX Coal Mine. He wants to invite you to his banquet. You only need to dance with him, and you can get 10 yuan. Think about it?"

Tang Xiaye: "I refuse."

"Is it Tang Xiaye? Are you interested in dating our boss? As long as you agree, the benefits will not be less for you."

Tang Xiaye: "I refuse."

"Hehe~ Xiao Tang, I'm screenwriter Zhang, and I have a very good role here, the male lead! Our investor is the young master of XX company, and the other party wants to make friends with you, what do you think?"

Tang Xiaye: "I refuse."

… Well, information leaks are really scary.

Seeing this, Shang Mengqi couldn't help it again: "Is this true? Did my idol really suffer so much harassment before?"

Coach Ji Gao chuckled: "I've been by his side all the time, don't you think it's fake? Who told him to debut as an idol instead of a professional player?"

"Hey, this world is really dangerous. Men have to protect themselves from being harassed by other men and women..." Shang Mengqi muttered and glanced at Luo Shifang.

Luo Shifang noticed his gaze: "What's wrong?"

Shang Mengqi: "No, it's nothing, I just thought that no one would be so overwhelmed to attack Brother Luo, I'm afraid I'm going to be beaten to the ground, hahaha~"

Everyone: emmmmm... This situation is different again, who dares to escort Mr. Yan?I'm afraid it's not about going bankrupt.

All in all, it is important to have self-knowledge.

Tang Xiaye claims to be just a poor student with no background, and it will be very difficult to get ahead in Vanity Fair, so why not make use of her talent in figure skating, train with Coach Ji Gao, and after participating in competitions and winning honors, it will be difficult for her to make plans. Not too late, at least I can still work in the figure skating club in the future.

Out of this tentative idea, Tang Xiaye's current main jobs are students and graphic models, and he only takes part-time jobs in the entertainment industry that are quick to pay: swimsuit photoshoots, MV roles that don't require acting skills, guest appearances in idol dramas, and male actors with low appearance rates. Matching, variety shows that can be recorded in one day, etc.

As the wallet bulged little by little, Tang Xiaye found a balance again in the balance of "training and making money" where the center of gravity had shifted.

At the same time, when Tang Xiaye was busy making money, Liang Chen was greatly stimulated and often practiced until midnight in the Aurora Club.

Jump, fail.

Rhythm, no.

Action, stiff.

Liang Chenkong has a passion for it, but his aptitude may not be comparable to that of ordinary people, so he can only be an amateur player at best.

On the one hand, there are geniuses who can still achieve success with reduced practice, and on the other hand, ordinary people who still can't keep up with geniuses after training all day and night.

Liang Chen's role is basically the male second who can be equal to coach Ji Gao, and they are both indispensable as Tang Xiaye's mentors on the road of life.

In order to play this role well, Peng Weizhi worked tirelessly to conceive, often pulling Luo Shifang to play together.

There was a scene on the screen of him standing on the ice rink covered in sweat and gasping for breath. It lasted for five seconds, but it was a true demonstration of him actually experiencing the high-intensity training according to the script after he replaced Liang Chen.

He blushed and stared at Tang Xiaye's poster on the wall, his eyes burst out with longing and unwillingness.

One night, when Tang Xiaye returned to the dormitory nonchalantly after being ridiculed for her poor acting skills on the set of an idol drama, she met Liang Chen who came out of the Aurora Skating Club on the way.

"Training so late?"

"Working so late?"

The two asked each other at the same time, and their voices overlapped.

After a while, the two of them burst out laughing, then went shoulder to shoulder and went to the vending machine to buy two cans of hot drinks, drinking as they walked.

Liang Chen: "What's your next plan, to enter the entertainment industry or continue figure skating?"

Tang Xiaye laughed at herself and said: "It should be the way of figure skating. If I have time, I will do some work to increase my savings. I am already old, even if I want to stand on the ice rink and skate with those athletes who are in their prime Bi, how many more years can you skate? After retiring, go to the entertainment circle and become a marginal figure."

He is already a college student, in his 20s, and after 25, he is not suitable to continue to be a figure skater.

"Well, it's good." Liang Chen also knew that the golden period left for Tang Xiaye was running out, and he showed an encouraging smile, "I really hope that you can skate well in the past two years and go to the competition. Then won the championship. My good brother can get this honor, what an honor I should be."

Tang Xiaye: "The reason why I choose figure skating is not for anyone, but for myself. But you, the final exam is coming soon, but you have been putting time and energy into skating recently, even if it is to cultivate a hobby , and don’t forget your own job.”

Liang Chen's facial expression froze slightly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously pursed downwards. Just when everyone thought that he would explode his emotions, he raised a wry smile.

"Speaking of it, it's the final exam. I can skate anytime, but it's bad if I fail."

Yes, Liang Chen is an ordinary person. No matter how much effort he puts into figure skating, he is only at the level of "ordinary people skating".

In this way, under the dim street lights, although the two walked together, there was a long distance between them.

Similarly, under the influence of street lights, the shadows of the two people are getting farther and farther away, giving people a feeling of distance.

This rivalry is very delicate. Two good brothers, one is an ordinary person who wants to become a professional player, and the other is an excellent player who sees his talent purely because of his interests. Under the peaceful and friendly surface, their emotions collided fiercely.

Originally, other people only thought that Liang Chen was just a tool man, or a character like a comedian, but after seeing this, they found that the setting of the movie was not what they thought before.

Although the main line of "Ice Crown" is Tang Xiaye's personal growth, there is another main line that sometimes surfaced and sometimes invisible, that is Liang Chen's growth.

Film critics watched with great interest, Liang Chen's actor Peng Weizhi's acting skills are not to say remarkable, but rather excellent.

"I remember this young actor's name is Peng Weizhi... My name is unexpectedly more suitable for the role of the male lead, which is impressive."

"The acting skills are unexpectedly excellent, and the facial bones are quite suitable for the big screen. This one seems to be his debut work?"

"I can look forward to the future growth... In the past two years, many young students have failed to enter the big screen. It's rare to have something that makes people's eyes shine."

Peng Weizhi's outstanding acting skills also made him the core of the discussion among film critics.

The conversation between the two of them this time also paved the way for the emotional outburst in the future.

The next day, when Tang Xiaye told Coach Ji Gao about his plan, Coach Ji Gao was very happy and directly signed him up for a city-level figure skating competition.

Before Liang Chen could complete a complete jump, Tang Xiaye easily won the championship of the city-level figure skating competition, leaving the runner-up far behind by scoring points, and obtained the second-level athlete certificate.

The final exam was getting closer, Tang Xiaye let go of other things for the sake of his grades, and set aside a period of study time for himself, but it was still very difficult to get good grades in a prestigious school.

This episode is speeding up again, as long as everyone can feel Tang Xiaye's hard work, it's fine, there's no need to spend time pouring water on it.

After the results came out, Tang Xiaye's efforts were not let down, and he could still get the scholarship.

On the other hand, Liang Chen, because the time was not well coordinated, his grades in many subjects dropped a lot, and even one subject was barely on the passing line.

In a hot pot restaurant, the two chatted while eating.

Tang Xiaye said calmly, "The teacher in charge has contacted me."

Liang Chen paused, then snorted, "Oh? That's strange. Isn't it common knowledge that you made your debut in figure skating and wanted to enter the entertainment circle, big star?"

This seems to be a joke, but the audience can clearly feel the envy and jealousy contained in it.

But Tang Xiaye was in the current environment, but he didn't care.

"It's not me, it's you. Your phone keeps turning off, and he can't contact you. Since you are a college student, you should also know to turn on your phone. If there is something important but you can't find someone, it's not good. It's done."

Liang Chen: "I'm sorry, sorry, I forgot to charge. Anyway, I don't have many friends, and other people don't contact me very much. It's not like you. You are a busy person. Have you received a lot of work recently?"

Tang Xiaye said without changing his face: "Many uncles and aunts over 50 and [-] years old invited me, so I am very busy."

"Puff—cough cough cough..." Liang Chen heard the words, and the soup in his mouth sprayed out from his mouth and nose, and said in horror, "It's not a good thing to see, don't tell me you I can't think about it so much!"

Tang Xiaye: "Listen to me, of course I rejected all of them, leaving only serious cooperation invitations."

Liang Chen heaved a sigh of relief, but couldn't help laughing.

"You boy, you have good luck."

Tang Xiaye frowned: "I don't really want this kind of blessing. If you want it, I'll give it to you."

Liang Chen quickly waved his hand: "No, then I might as well continue skating."

Tang Xiaye persuaded: "Seriously, you should balance your time."

"Okay, okay, didn't I fail the exam? When eating, don't mention such annoying things, I can afford the price."

After a meal, the relationship between the two was both close and far away, even more tense than the previous communication.

Because they are each other's only best friend, they are used to putting up with each other's flaws.

But in this way, when the emotions really explode, the chemical reaction will be more intense.

After this meal, Tang Xiaye and Liang Chen seemed to have entered two different worlds.

City-level competitions, provincial-level competitions, domestic competitions, and even breaking into the Winter Olympics... Tang Xiaye's life seemed to be on the hook, winning championships one after another, defeating opponents one by one.

There are more and more reports about him on the Internet. Abandoning some black comments that make people feel sour at first glance, and directly suing some malicious rumors and insults such as "Tang Xiaye was adopted" to the court. When protecting his reputation, Tang Xia Ye is relentless.

Do it right and do it straight, why let others say it?

From this point of view, a rational person like Tang Xiaye is also a kind person.

Everything is moving in a good direction, but life is never really smooth sailing.

In the few competitions before reaching the finals, Tang Xiaye's performance was a bit abnormal twice, but he was still lucky to be the first... Although luck is also a kind of strength, but in front of other strong players, This luck is embarrassing.

A foreign athlete spoke fluent English and showed a provocative face: "Hey, are you Tang Xiaye? You don't look very good."

"Sorry, who are you?" Tang Xiaye responded blankly. After all, the other party stood in front of him, and he couldn't do without responding.

"You don't even remember me?" The athlete was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly turned cold. "You are at this age, and you don't even recognize us. If you are not an outsider, then you are trash."

Naturally, Tang Xiaye was not easy to bully. His opponents came to provoke him, so why should he be humble.

"Sorry, I have been training for less than a year, it is indeed too short. But you are not well-known enough for me to know, shouldn't you feel ashamed?"

The foreign athletes narrowed their eyes and stared dangerously at Tang Xiaye: "You... are very good at talking."

"Well, compared with you, it is true."

The foreign athlete said with a smile: "Then let's make a bet. If you lose to me, you will get out of the finals. How about it?"

"Why? You don't seem to be qualified." Tang Xiaye tilted her head and said, seemingly puzzled, "I came here to gild myself, why should I care what you think, it's better not to be too self-centered. Otherwise it will be very painful."

The foreign athlete was so stunned that he wanted to beat someone up.

Tang Xiaye patted himself on the face: "If you are suspended, it will just give me one less competitor. Let's fight, but I will not sit still. I will hide before you seriously hurt me."

"He's right. You don't have the sense of faith and mission to be a professional player. Coming here like this is an insult to our other players."

At this moment, several well-known figure skaters stepped forward and stood behind the foreign athlete.

"Whoever loses, quit the finals. Our bet is not just as simple as words. We will use actual combat results to let you understand what will happen if you stand here without the spirit of a professional player." .”

Tang Xiaye was puzzled. He completed the training with dignity and competed fairly, yet was accused of lacking a sense of faith and mission.

His belief and mission is to make his life better, so what's wrong with that?Besides, the sense of faith and mission are more idealistic things. How could his ideas be seen by others?

"Well, I promise you, of course, you can break the contract at any time. You also said that the verbal agreement has no practical effect, everything depends on the action."

The others laughed "puchi" when they heard the words, and looked away indifferently.

At this moment, two worlds formed between the other athletes and Tang Xiaye.

But in this match, Tang Xiaye was directly kicked out of the top three, and was placed on the borderline of passing. As long as his score was a little lower than the current score, he would be overtaken by the players behind and missed the promotion.

Verbal bets are indeed useless, but they can still plant a psychological shadow in Tang Xiaye's heart. Even if he competes in the future, his state will be greatly affected.

On the screen, players from various countries condemned Tang Xiaye through the press conference.

"Tang Xiaye? You really don't respect your opponent at all."

"He has no conviction and lacks willpower. Our channel is different, so there is no need to talk to him too much."

"He is a very poor person. He has clearly become a professional player, but he still doesn't know what he is doing."

"I don't deny his excellence, but you also have to admit his shortcomings. Being too tall is not a problem, and neither is being too old. But...Mr. Tang, figure skating is not only a sport, but also an art. We It's not going to be a championship for someone as weak as you."

Tang Xiaye was indeed right, but seeing the public opinion starting to ferment, Coach Ji Gao pushed the reporter to interview.

For a while, many people and reports on the Internet began to criticize Tang Xiaye.

Many film critics were immediately immersed in memories.

"I have watched this game before, when Song Qiuyuan was scolded miserably."

"Yeah, many figure skaters pointed out by name at the press conference that they lacked a sense of faith. That was a siege. It was one of the hottest news of the year, and only some people who didn't care about the facts at all would not know about it. "

"I remember that there were many people who poured dirty water on him, and they were all sued in court for compensation soon after. I listed no less than a hundred of them one by one, and all of them were sent to lawyers to teach them how to behave."

"This movie can even be called a documentary...Not many people will live a legend like Song Qiuyuan."

During the interval between games, Tang Xiaye took a day off to rest. When passing by the hot pot restaurant, he realized that he hadn't contacted Liang Chen for a long time. After dialing, the other party told him to turn off the phone, so he came to the Aurora Skating Club.

He was surprised to find that Liang Chen was actually skating, and with his gradually professional eyes...it was terrible.

"Summer night? Why are you here?"

With a glance, Liang Chen saw Tang Xiaye. He was a little surprised, and then thought of the other party's recent experience. He felt that his friend had been hit and bullied, so he sat next to him.

Tang Xiaye: "Come here to relax. How are you doing?"

"It's pretty good in all aspects. The figure skating technique has improved compared to before." Liang Chen smiled confidently.

Tang Xiaye was puzzled: "I'm very puzzled, why do you waste so much time, you have never practiced so late before on something that has no return at all, I think at this stage, studying hard is the most important thing. "

Liang Chen's smile immediately subsided: "What do you mean?"

Tang Xiaye said calmly: "Literally, I think you should spend more time on your studies and find ways to catch up with your grades instead of doing unnecessary exercises here. Maybe you want to take a career test to give Gilded yourself?"

"Gold-plating and gold-plating... don't you only think about profit?" Liang Chen felt that his dream had been trampled on.

He clenched his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, his whole body was trembling, but he was still trying to bear it.

Tang Xiaye: "I used to have problems with food and clothing, so naturally I didn't have time to dream. Dreams must be based on reality, otherwise they are just fantasy."

Liang Chen clenched his fists: "So now, what do you want to do? I'm asking you!"

Tang Xiaye: "Well, according to the current situation, I can advance. If I retire at this time, I will be accused of being a 'coward'. But if I advance, I am likely to face greater accusations. It seems that apart from winning There is no better way to refute them. But since they can beat me and get so many points, it shows that they are very strong, and I am not pleasing to both sides, it is quite embarrassing."

"enough!"

Liang Chen's suppressed roar seemed to release all the negative emotions at once.

He even grabbed the opponent's collar:

"Tang Xiaye, the others are right, you are a person who has no sense of belief at all! What are you doing now? Are you looking down on me! Right! You just want to rub my face on the ground! You When I was rubbish, you didn't even look at me in figure skating, and you threw away what I wanted to get like crazy... Why, why are you a coward, a coward, able to participate in the competition! I , There are people who have the same dream as me, how can they sweat less than you!?"

Tang Xiaye's pupils shrank, obviously not expecting the other party's sudden outburst, and her lips murmured for a moment.

"……Feel sorry."

"Ha! Excuse me?"

Liang Chen laughed at himself, his eyes were bloodshot, "Tang Xiaye, do you know that I'm so jealous of you? When I look at you, my eyes are so red! Do you think you look so noble and self-pitying yourself? But if you're a man, pick yourself up and throw your fists in their faces instead of standing here and crying! You don't even think about winning. You're as far away from a champion as the two of us are Is it that big?"

Liang Chen endured and endured, finally put down Tang Xiaye's collar, slammed down the chair heavily, turned his head and rushed out the door.

Tang Xiaye was left alone looking at the door, showing a thoughtful and introspective expression.

——Finally broke out!

During this outburst, even Shang Mengqi couldn't help saying: "I'm on Liang Chen's side, Tang Xiaye really went too far this time, her empathy ability is too poor."

Coach Ji Gao smiled and said, "Your idol Song Qiuyuan was like this from the beginning, and Luo Shifang's performance is a perfect replica."

Shang Mengqi covered his ears and said in a low voice: "If you don't listen to bastards, my idol is perfect with me. This shortcoming will be overcome in the future!"

Coach Ji Gao shook his head: How many futures are there?

The break with her only friend taught Tang Xiaye a lesson.

On a long run in the morning, he met two little boys showing off their medals. One boy claimed that he won the award thanks to the encouragement of his friends, while the other boy was simply proud of his friends. .

The "Little Prince Consolation Prize for Singing in Class XX" medal is of no use, but it is a proof of friendship.

We all know that consolation prizes are the worst, only slightly better than dodging the race with no medals.

However, even if the other children said so, they still couldn't stop the joy of the two.

Are they showing off medals?

No, it's friendship.

The two little boys valued each other. This sense of belief gave the little boy participating in the competition courage, even if he failed, he was not afraid, because he wanted to respond to this feeling, and he wanted the other party to know that he valued him.

And this was exactly what Tang Xiaye lacked.

He finally has the ability to empathize... This time, he didn't think of gilding himself, but wanted to win the championship and save his friendship with Liang Chen.

He wanted to prove that the distance between himself and Liang Chen was not that far away, and he wanted the other party to see that he also valued this friendship.

Therefore, beat up those people who came forward and said that he has no sense of faith, point to their noses and say, "I also have a sense of faith"!

This is a monologue that is a test of acting skills, but Luo Shifang has completely acted out Tang Xiaye from bewilderment to reflection to clear reaction.

Tang Xiaye finally understood the courage on her shoulders... It is obvious that a sense of faith and a sense of mission are more idealistic things, but once possessed, the whole person will be reborn.

Film critics raved about it.

"Tang Xiaye's impression has changed!"

"It's as if a gemstone has been covered with dust, and now after the dust has been brushed off, it finally really shines!"

"The changes in energy and spirit are meticulous, and it's not easy to perform... Luo Shifang, Luo Shifang, you really impress me."

After a period of cold war, the awakened Tang Xiaye sent Liang Chen a message:

It shouldn't be too late for me to win the championship now, right?Then I will treat you to hot pot.

It wasn't until the start of the finals that Liang Chen finally replied: If you win the gold medal, go back to the dormitory, I'll treat you to hot pot.Without a gold medal, I can only invite you to eat Malatang.

Many people couldn't help feeling excited: This is brotherhood!

Shang Mengqi touched his chin: "Huh? It feels like a CP..."

Presumably after today, Tang Xiaye and Liang Chen will become popular in an instant!

Regarding this, Mr. Yan waved his hand slightly, not being moved by the noise outside.

Heh~ But that's all.
