from the star

Ling Qingyuan carefully packed his things all night, and gained a new understanding of Cheng Hebai's hobbies and personality. Of course, he could no longer continue to develop along the route of a barbecue stall owner.Ling Qingyuan put aside all the farming instruction books, and looked through the remaining entertainment magazines with interest. He found that apart from the large interview just now, there were also some small tofu pieces that mentioned Tan Yue.

There was a gossip ranking in an old magazine four or five years ago titled "Male and Male Artists with the Healthiest Image" and divided by age group. Ling Qingyuan saw that Tan Yue's name was impressively among the top in the group under 30 years old.

Not only in terms of appearance, but also in terms of word-of-mouth and character, Tan Yue is indeed outstanding, and there are no scandals that are beyond the scope of publicity and overly hyped.

Later, when Cheng's mother came to Nanxiang, she saw her son laughing happily at the magazine, and was worried whether his head had been smashed again.Then the mother nagged about his injury, Ling Qingyuan responded vaguely, really couldn't cope with the mother's kindness, so she simply changed the topic.Ling Qingyuan explained to Cheng's mother the matter of moving - someone was willing to come forward to help solve it once and for all.

"How could there be pie in the sky?" Cheng Mu said in confusion.What has happened recently has taken the mother by surprise.

"It's okay, I'll take care of the family affairs, and I will let you live a good life." Ling Qingyuan said for Cheng Hebai.

The next morning, Cheng's family received a call from the District Bureau. The police on the opposite side told him that Lu Youshen and his group had been arrested and would face charges of "threat to public order" and "gathering a crowd to cause trouble".This gang of hooligans was dealt with so cleanly and neatly, Ling Qing hadn't expected it.

When Cheng Lubai heard the news, he came out of the East Wing rubbing his red and swollen eyes.The shock from last night hadn't faded away, Ling Qingyuan saw that she was still wearing pajamas with long pants and long sleeves in summer, leaning against the door wringing her hands.

"Brother, Mom told me that you entrusted someone to... help... us..."

Ling Qingyuan nodded: "I mentioned transferring schools to you before, don't you also want to be an art candidate. It just happens to be resolved together this time."

Cheng Lubai lowered his brows and closed his eyes without saying a word, as strings of tears rolled down his face again.At first, she just shed tears quietly, but then she became emotional suddenly. She supported the door frame with one hand, and covered her mouth and nose with the other hand, looking for numbers.

Ling Qingyuan took two steps in the courtyard, looked at the girl one meter away, and said to him from left and right: "Cheng Lubai, imagine you are playing a role in a play, and if you want to perform a crying scene, how can you cry naturally? ?Remember your current emotional state, as a spring. When you experience the complex mentality of the characters in the play, you will naturally empathize, and tears will flow when you touch the spring. True feelings are more touching than eye drops. "

"Brother..." Cheng Lubai's attention was diverted by her brother's words, and the rain gradually subsided, but he revealed his heart and said: "Brother, if I didn't want to be a star at all, our family wouldn't be in this situation." thing."

"Girl, it's your idea of ​​following your heart naturally... How can there be so many things that are not fundamental at all," Ling Qingyuan sighed, and took a step forward to stroke her head, comforting: "Believe that bad things can also become good things .Also, in the future, think more about everything, do what you do with integrity, and remember to discuss it with brother when you encounter trouble."

Just after noon, there was a knock on the door of Cheng's courtyard.It was the driver sent by Hongxin Company to pick up the siblings.

The two simply packed their bags, said goodbye to Cheng's mother, and left.Actually, she really left as soon as she said, Cheng's mother followed out a few steps helplessly, watching the silver-gray Jetta leave from the alley, still rubbing her hands and circling in circles.

Driving first sent Cheng Lubai to a performing arts training school under Hongxin, known as Hongxin Art School to the outside world.After getting off the car, Ling Qingyuan gave Cheng Lubai some money and asked her to buy a mobile phone to contact her family.The person who happened to come to the school, Ling Qingyuan emphasized to the other party the requirement that his sister not sign the contract, and the need to continue cultural education at Pugao nearby.Both parties have a consensus, and there is no long-winded talk.

After making arrangements for Cheng Lubai, Ling Qingyuan followed the car to Hongxin Entertainment Company in the city.

Regardless of the previous life or the current life, even if the shotgun is replaced with a cannon, and the body is completely changed, some tracks will always repeat themselves in a similar way.Ling Qing thought, he is back again, this familiar yet strange world.He will inevitably foresee former close friends, acquaintances, rivals and even rivals.

By that time, who should he be.Ling Qingyuan and Cheng Hebai, one is dead and the other is still alive.In his heart, the two coexist, but in the eyes of everyone else, he is and must be Cheng Hebai.This is a play within a play, for the sake of the Cheng family, and for the sake of not dying a second time in vain.

Ling Qingyuan saw Shao Weiming again in the president's office, and the people behind the desk smiled like a fox who had stolen a chicken.

"I keep my word, and you will do what you say. Hebai, we really have a perfect understanding."

Ling Qingyuan just smiled and shied away from his overly flattering himself: "Mr. Shao is good at dancing, and he managed a difficult local snake in one night. I dare not talk to you about tacit understanding."

"It's just that there are so many ways of making money and connections. It's not worth mentioning the loose-mouthed things."

At this point, Shao Weiming stopped being polite to him, and directly took out a stack of A4 paper from his desk, which was thick enough to be used as an instruction manual for a labor contract.

"Whether you read it or not, I guess, your overlord clause will not change." Ling Qingyuan picked it up and flipped through it casually, and the wind blew the hair on their foreheads.

"Of course there is a difference. You are voluntary and self-conscious about the company's proposal. This alone will make me appreciate it." Shao Weiming crossed his hands and fingers on the table, looking at the person across the table leisurely.

It is inevitable for a big company to gossiping and ravaging its employees. Now that Ling Qingyuan is here, he is ready to play to the end.He didn't say anything, just opened the last page and wrote Cheng Hebai's name on a horizontal line at the bottom.Seeing these three words, he was a little stunned. He didn't realize it before, but he signed it with the font of his predecessor.It seems that I have to practice calligraphy.

While Ling Qingyuan bowed his waist to sign and was in a daze, Shao Weiming naturally stretched out his hand to the side of his face.Ling Qingyuan straightened up vigilantly, looking down at him guardedly and indifferently.

"You have a wound on the left side of your cheek, which was left when you were beaten up by gangsters last night? It seems that you really don't have the consciousness to be an artist." Shao Weiming said to himself, turning a blind eye to Ling Qingyuan's evasive attitude: "Where else is injured, how much is injured?" Department, tell me. I will explain to those who judged the case, one injury, three years in prison."

"I thought we were going to talk about work next." Ling Qingyuan put the cap on his pen and threw the contract in front of Shao Weiming.

"If you don't think tit for tat is part of the job..." Shao Weiming said in a regretful tone, and signed his name in a flurry of hands.When he was done, he counted the names on the two horizontal lines as if admiring a piece of art, and then carefully put them back in the drawer.

"Hebai, if I want you to accompany me now, would you like to be the second male lead in a movie produced by Hongxin?" After the contract took effect, Shao Weiming began to use his unabashed and unparalleled straightforward way Talk about work.

"If I don't agree, will you hide me in the snow? If so, I'm sorry, I can't afford to repay you the money for the violent machine to quickly arrest and judge Lu Youshen, as well as my sister's tuition."

After hearing Cheng Hebai's answer, Shao Weiming not only didn't get angry, but stood up with a smile on his face, put his hands on the table and looked at him closely: "I showed you a shortcut, but you insisted on taking a long way. Of course, I won't force you."

Shao Weiming turned around and walked a few steps in the office, and suddenly he said something like a cliché, but it was confusing: "There are not many people who are talented, good-looking, and clean, nowadays."

Ling Qingyuan was about to interrupt his ambiguous praise, when he heard Shao Weiming whispering: "If you want to become the second Tan Yue, no, you have to be more brilliant than him, as long as you dare to think about it...it might become a reality."

"I have no interest in being the second."

"Oh?" Shao Weiming's smile was even more unfathomable. He walked around to the desk, and the eyes of the two people, who were almost the same height, crossed their eyes.He stared at the opposite person who refused but his face did not change, and said jokingly:

"Cheng Hebai, I don't know if it's a talent or something else. Sometimes you give me the feeling that you don't look like a newcomer who has just stepped into the entertainment industry. Needless to say, you speak and behave well. .”

Ling Qingyuan smiled, intending to expose it easily, but secretly pointed out: "It is estimated that the boss and subordinates have read too many goofy workplace articles, and they have some experience."

"That's enough. That's all I want to tell you today. The 'routine' work is all in the charge of your agent, of course, it's not exclusive." Shao Weiming continued with an accent: "At this stage, I suggest that you Throw away, let go of what should be put down, and listen to the company's arrangements."

Shao Weiming made a phone call, and within a few seconds a stocky man with protruding ears and double chin rushed in.Like a pug, he greeted the president behind the desk, bowed his body for a long time, wishing to stick his fat face against the desk.

"I wish peace, I mentioned it to you yesterday, you bring the newcomer." Shao Weiming said concisely.

Zhu Heping turned his head ninety degrees to the left like an owl in a bowed posture, and looked at Cheng Hebai from the bottom up.The latter looked at his awkward posture, and said hello in a neutral manner.

Zhu Heping straightened up immediately, and carefully scanned Cheng Hebai with X-ray again, unintentionally trying to estimate the depth of his background and whether he could grow into a big star, no, a cash cow.

Shao Weiming's joking voice sounded from the side: "If you don't take it out for a walk, you can tell how much he weighs just by looking at him. I wish peace, and Huang Xi has sent you the work schedule. Keep your eyes open and look carefully. Take good people, Do a good job."

Huang Xi mentioned by Shao Weiming is the supervisor who manages the new agent.In Hongxin Entertainment, first-class famous actors and singers are directly in charge of independent managers, with assistants to assist in the work; second- and third-rate newcomers are in charge of managers, and managers are supervised and managed. The difference is only in the number of people in hand.All in all, it's a pretty solid pyramid.

When Ling Qingyuan saw Zhu Heping, he understood: a guy who is almost middle-aged and still working as a rookie agent, working at the bottom of an entertainment company, either has problems with his abilities or his character.

Shao Weiming and Zhu Heping said a few more clichés, and then asked Zhu Heping to lead Cheng Hebai away.The two were about to leave the office when President Shao's voice sounded behind them again: "Hebai, what I told you just now is valid for a long time, you remember."

Zhu Heping maintained the posture of pushing the door open, and turned around to look at the newcomer.But Ling Qingyuan turned his head and said thank you for his kindness without changing his face.

After closing the door and the two went away, Shao Weiming stroked his chin, replaying the young man's expression repeatedly, and knew that the remaining half of the sentence "Thank you, Bumin" was on the tip of his tongue.He didn't feel frustrated when his goal was not achieved:

"...What is not lacking is patience. Besides, the more reserved you are, the more people look forward to... the day when you will reap the fruits."

After Zhu Heping left the CEO's office, he swaggered down the aisle, but no one gave him a second look the whole way.Ling Qingyuan followed him half a step from beginning to end, neither speaking first nor rushing to curry favor.

When the two came to the parking lot in front of the office building, Zhu Heping was already sweating.The Jetta in the afternoon was still waiting there, and the two got into the car one after the other.Then, Zhu Heping said the first sentence.

"Don't think it's a big deal to be attracted by Mr. Shao. There are many artists who have been attracted by him."

Ling Qingyuan knew that this was a blow to the rookie, so he expressed his attitude appropriately, frankly stating that he would be modest and prudent, not forgetting that he was a rookie, and would never put his nose on the face and so on.

Zhu Heping put on airs and nodded in satisfaction, not forgetting the company's precedent.He went all over the inside story of the gossip about bed-climbing but backfired, and used real cases to warn Cheng He Baibang, the boss, that he might as well listen to his manager.

Ling Qingyuan thought to himself, in order not to be exposed to others as a model teaching by this big mouth surnamed Zhu, he can't do messy things.

There was no serious work arrangement along the way, and the time passed so quickly.In less than half an hour, Jetta sent them to the residential area of ​​all small high-rise dotted buildings.This is the staff dormitory of Hongxin Entertainment. Of course, it is limited to low-end and mid-end employees.

As far as Ling Qingyuan knew, as a newcomer, the housing conditions provided by Xinhong Entertainment were pretty good.Three rooms and one living room for three people, one bedroom for one person, and the others are shared.It was still dark when they arrived, and they hadn't seen the other two roommates in the house.

Zhu Heping slumped on the sofa, took out a form from his handbag and asked Cheng Hebai to fill it in. It was nothing more than personal information such as mobile phone, email address, date of birth, height and weight, and place of origin.

Ling Qingyuan thought for a while before writing, and was a little thankful that he had memorized Cheng Hebai's ID information.Zhu Heping, who was next to him, complained about the lack of tea, and complained that the air conditioner was not turned on and the weather was hot.Ling Qingyuan interrupted his appealing complaint, and said, "I'll tell you the phone number after I buy it. Brother Zhu, please leave the number."

Zhu Heping's chattering mouth stopped as if suddenly stuffed with sackcloth. He was surprised that there are still young people in this era without mobile phones.With his mouth pursed, he tore a sticky note from the side and left his message.

"I said, can you do it, boy? You are neither a professional nor an internal selection. What is your background that can be favored by Mr. Shao, and what are your abilities. Let me tell you, this circle is not so easy to mess with... ..." The mix of mistrust towards Cheng Hebai and a small amount of resentment happened to trigger Zhu Heping's bad temper.

"I will do my best to complete the work arrangement. As for whether it will be successful, you will only know if you do it."

Zhu Heping had a sullen face, and seemed to have something to say, but it was rare to stop there, and he said a few words dryly: "The latest work arrangements and precautions will be sent to your email, and the mobile phone will be done as soon as possible. After finishing speaking, he tapped his leather shoes and left.

Ling Qingyuan sent the worried manager away with a wry smile, took the travel bag back to the empty bedroom, and packed up his things.It's just how to put it in and how to take it out, clothes, books, computers and miscellaneous things.After piled up some things, the room still didn't look very popular, Ling Qingyuan scratched his hair and went out to do some shopping with his wallet.

Ling Qingyuan went to a nearby shopping mall to buy a mobile phone with simple functions, registered a number, and bought a takeaway and some snacks and fruits nearby.Back at the apartment, both roommates had already returned.Pushing open the door, he was immediately greeted warmly.

"Hello, newcomer."

Ling Qingyuan smiled back and greeted, put the small dishes in his hand on the table, signaled the sharing of resources, and then followed the crowd to join the ranks of their grilled box lunches.

Two roommates, one of them is delicate, not tall, with a boyish head and big black-rimmed glasses.Ling Qingyuan noticed that his glasses were real, much thicker than his own glass.This young man is called Zou Wenyu.

The other is Yuan Xin, a typical northern image of a man with a horse, tall and mighty, tall and strong without compromising his proportions, he kept grinning while eating, Ling Qing thought he had a toothache, but later realized he was smiling.With fixed movements, you can keep your mouth shut for 10 minutes after speaking a sentence.

People will get hot after eating this meal.

The two said that they were both newcomers who graduated from Hongxinxing Factory this year.Among them, Zou Wenyu is in the direction of singing, and Yuan Xin is in the direction of performance.They were very surprised when they heard that Cheng Hebai was a grassroots "teacher born without a name" who happened to be signed by Hongxin.

"It seems that the rumors that Hongxin has scouts among the people are true." Zou Wenyu muttered, with a slightly sour taste of hot and sour powder in his tone.

Yuan Xin picked up a large piece of fat beside Cheng He's white bowl, and said indifferently where it came from.It looks like brothers from all corners of the world are brothers, and they will go to the Kunlun Guangming Summit together. "It's all for a dream, so what does it matter?"

Infected by Yuan Xin's cheerful temperament, Zou Wenyu soon let go of it, but he explained to Cheng Hebai about the Hongxin Performing Arts Training School.
