from the star

Hongxin Performing Arts Training School, also known as Hongxin Art School, Ling Qingyuan knew a lot from his predecessor.After all, this is a highly utilitarian and purposeful training institution that relies on entertainment giants and lures excellent graduates by signing contracts or providing corresponding platforms.

The two introduced that the Hongxin Art School has a two-year schooling system and accepts young people aged 22 to [-] for closed, high-intensity learning.No matter the singing class or the acting class, the annual enrollment does not exceed [-] people.A very important reason is the high tuition fee, which is six figures per academic year. After two academic years, many people who want to realize their dreams are discouraged.

In order to afford the tuition fees, as the advertisement said, there are indeed first-line artists and directors under Hongxin who come to join the show, and the teaching content is also quite targeted - the most practical acting and singing skills and peripheral skills, by the way, teach you how to quickly What to do before and during the fire.

Hearing what they said, Ling Qingyuan hid his sense of superiority in his heart.After all, he is also a major student who has received a full-time public non-profit college education, which is no worse than that produced in a factory.The conversation continued, and Zou Wenyu said something, which made him extremely admired.

"Every summer, hundreds of people graduate from performing arts and singing classes, but those who can be directly signed by Hongxin in each class can be counted on two hands. Because there will be strict examinations and selections, we are all A handful of passers.”

"As for those with above-average grades, they will be recommended to go to the mirror, or go to the talent show. In short, there is only so much the company can help. The rest, about [-] to [-]%, have to work hard on their own. Bamboo There are not a few cases where the game of basket and water is empty."

Ling Qingyuan thought, Hongxin's business is indeed very sophisticated, and if the tuition fee is earned, it would be better to be short than to blow up its own brand.For the [-]% possibility of signing, he believes that many people will yearn for this place.In addition, he also understood where Zou Wenyu's sour smell came from.

Compared with their high tuition fees, internal selection, two-year special training, and several inspections, I was signed without any effort, which really made people jealous.

Yuan Xin threw the three people's leftover lunch boxes into the kitchen, and borrowed flowers to present Buddha to wash a basket of strawberries that Cheng Hebai bought just now.He came out of the kitchen while eating with one hand, and kept saying: "Actually, the people we signed still have to look in the mirror. Nothing is tailor-made for you. Unlike the singing side, The really good ones are those who can test the waters with singles, or publish songs on the Internet to gain popularity.”

Zou Wenyu was a little unconvinced. He grabbed the fruit plate from Yuan Xin and put it on the coffee table, saying, "Isn't there some new news these days? You guys are going to take a public viewing, and those who perform well can even get the main supporting role."

What Zou Wenyu said made Yuan Xin's grinning mouth relax.He scratched his head in distress, and sat on the arm of the sofa and said sullenly: "Isn't it terrible? Make the mirror as a show, making it the same as a draft. Singing is just a matter of style. But performance, if you are on the field If something goes wrong, it will be watched by countless experts in front of the TV. If you can’t act in a joke, you will lose your life. It’s better than starting from a small role and accumulating experience.”

Zou Wenyu saw that he had brought up the wrong topic, so he hurriedly comforted him, saying that there is no one who wins or loses in one battle, and there is no real hero who can be judged by success or failure.

The topic circled around the two of them, said what should be said, and soon returned to Ling Qingyuan.They were unanimously curious about what kind of luck could hit a passerby and make him a star.

Ling Qingyuan smiled wryly, this is not luck, let alone a low-level rookie who just sold out, he can't talk about stardom.However, he still properly shared his own experience - being a resident pianist, and then he was seen to have a talent for acting.

"The pianist has acting talent?" Zou Wenyu laughed loudly: "You are not competent as a pianist. No way, Hongxin Entertainment really signed you instead of Hongxin Records?"

Naturally, Ling Qingyuan couldn't say why, but he was not very good at singing, but his temperament was quite similar to that of an actor.

This topic is obviously of interest to Zou Wenyu. He happily patted Cheng Hebai on the shoulder and said that he can teach him if he can't sing, but it would be a pity if he didn't use his musical foundation.He also said that he would get an electric piano and put it in the living room, so that they could have an ensemble and form a band to entertain themselves.He just happened to be a guitarist himself.

The three of them were originally about the same age, and they chatted a lot and got close to each other.Speaking of which, Cheng Hebai is still the oldest among the three of them, more than half of his 24 years old.The big man Yuan Xin just celebrated his 24th birthday a few days ago, while Zou Wenyu is the youngest, not yet 21.

After arguing with each other for a while, Zou Wenyu called out to visit the personal living room of the new tenant in the name of coordinating the cohabitation relationship.Ling Qingyuan graciously let his bedroom appear on the stage.

"There is nothing but the bed, so there is no breath of life." Zou Wenyu lamented the simplicity of the owner in a long voice.Yuan Xin pointed to the two magazines on the table as if he had discovered a treasure, eager to share the same hobbies.

"Hebai, you like Tan Yue too."

Ling Qingyuan glanced at it and said honestly: "I can't say I like it, but I can't bear to throw away the old magazines."

Yuan Xin had an expression of why you don't throw away old magazines, not because of star chasing.Ling Qingyuan naturally couldn't explain it, he kept it because his name was in the old magazine.

Recently, under pressure from all kinds of gossip, the theory of his suicide has become a conclusion.Countless people commented on the cause of his death with regret or emotion, and used it to entertain themselves and others.There is an article written by the double material party in the title, saying that he "taboo bitter love to no avail, and seek relief by death", and an insider party claims that "the Magnolia Award, if you pass by, you will miss it".

If Tan Yue hadn't mentioned him in an interview in an old magazine, he would almost have forgotten himself under the smear of today's smoky dust—forgot the quiet or ordinary road he had walked for so many years.

Or, just want to leave an epitaph for yourself.

After searching around, the two left.For the rest of the day, Ling Qingyuan called Cheng's mother and told her that everything was fine, and also got Cheng Lubai's phone number from her.He dutifully asked her about her day's status again. The younger sister's tone on the other end of the phone was still not lively, but her mood had improved a lot.

After finishing the Cheng family affairs, Ling Qingyuan sent Zhu Heping a text message.Zhu Heping also responded with three words in a businesslike manner: Receive emails.

Ling Qingyuan opened the mailbox, and saw that the content of the email was just as disclosed by Yuan Xin in the chat: Hongxin Company intends to make the mirror into a program.Use the method of "public viewing" to hype the two films and one drama that are currently being filmed, hype up the leading actors, test the students and introduce newcomers to the public by the way.Perhaps, it is self-evident to widely publicize Star Factory's star-making capabilities.

Ling Qingyuan's impression after watching it is: the method is really novel and unique enough.In the industry, it is estimated that there is only such a "self-produced and self-marketed one-stop" company with such ability and skill.

Zhu Heping sent him this email, naturally telling him that he must participate.Ling Qingyuan remembered that during the day in the CEO's office, the shrewd son of the Shao family promised him a "supporting actor" as a "companion" in return.

Ling Qingyuan stretched, smiled and closed the computer.Nothing is easy on board this boat, but a new old life starts anew anyway.

An inconspicuous coupe stopped at the gate of Daishan Yaju. The driver handed the diamond membership card to the welcome guest, and was let go with a bow in two seconds.After the car turned into the parking lot, Wu Dong got out of the driver's seat and opened the door of the back seat. He found that the people inside were still taking a nap.

"Brother Yue, we're here."

Tan Yue opened his eyes in a trance, and the street lights in the shape of lanterns outside the car window spilled in, bringing with them the unique freshness of the singing of frogs and the evening wind in the mountains.The change in the environment also made him sober up a lot.

Wu Dong was waiting for him at the car door. He knew that Tan Yue was very tired. After all, he got off the plane half an hour ago and was still on location four hours ago.Tan Yue asked the director to focus on shooting his scenes first, so he squeezed out a day to go back and forth to Taiping City.

"It was changed so quickly..." Tan Yue said as he got out of the car, there was no element of joy in his tone.

Wu Dong went up to help him straighten his shirt, and said casually: "Hongxin has hired a screenwriter team, and they will accept everything I ask. In just over ten days, the short composition of ten thousand characters has been expanded into A script of hundreds of thousands of words."

"...and also changed the director to Zhang Shuli, obviously trying to make me speechless." Tan Yue buttoned the top two buttons of his shirt and signaled Wu Dong to go inside together.

Zhang Shuli is the best director under Hongxin Media, and all the actors in the showbiz are proud to participate in his works. No matter how big the cards are on the set, it is no problem for him to drive them.

"At least it shows that Hongxin attaches great importance to cooperating with you. Besides, brother Yue, you have also acted in his play, and you don't know what Director Zhang is capable of." Wu Dong smoothed things over.After this short period of tossing, Hongxin's flattering attitude has already made him panic, and even his assistant has a tendency to surrender to the enemy and compromise, "it's almost enough, just take it when it's time to take it".

"When I played a supporting role for him 800 years ago, he was not from Hongxin." Tan Yue looked coldly at Wu Dong. trembling.

"Have you contacted Mu Bian yet?" Tan Yue asked suddenly.

"Mubian? Which Mubian?" Wu Dong wondered.

Tan Yue thought that he might have forgotten to mention it to Wu Dong, sighed, and took Wu Dong for a walk into the grove, and dialed the phone by himself.The phone call was quickly connected, and neither of them greeted them too much.

"Editor Mu, is there any movement on the script you mentioned a while ago? Will it be filmed in the near future?"

"Ancestor, I'm not a god. Qingyuan only left an outline. I only have one hand and one brain. Not only do I have to search for information for research, but I also have to write stories and dialogues. You should be an online article with [-] updates per day. "

"Forget it. You write slowly, and tell me when you have finished the draft. I will fund and you will direct." Tan Yue ignored the surprised expression of Wu Dong next to him, who was about to hang up the phone as soon as he threw away the words.

"Wait," Mudli hurriedly stopped Tan Yue: "I really didn't know you were in such a hurry. Besides, you also know that even if the script comes out and you pay for it, it's not just filming."

Tan Yue hummed to show that he was sure he was telling the truth.

"...Moreover," Mudli hesitated for a moment, and explained another reason: "Actually, I'm still investigating Qingyuan's affairs recently, and I can't take care of it, so other things will be delayed."

The corner of Tan Yue's mouth trembled, and he said in a steady voice, "We'll talk about this matter later when we meet. It's inconvenient to talk over the phone."

Thinking of Tan Yue's urgent need for the script just now, and the connotation of this sentence, Mudli guessed a general idea when he turned his head, so he said calmly: "Then you should be busy first, and then contact."

After the conversation between the two parties ended, Wu Dong was desperately trying to find something to say. As an assistant, he really didn't know that Tan Yue had the idea of ​​investing in a movie, and he urged the script in such a tone that he didn't know whether he was familiar or ignored.

"It seems that it is destined that I must accept this drama." Tan Yue said with a smile, the wind in the forest took away the warmth from his lips.

Same as last time, the meeting place this time is still at the light bar.When Tan Yue arrived, Shao Lirong and Shao Weiming's nephew and uncle were still waiting devoutly at the door.The two sides greeted each other and took their seats, and soon got to the point.Shao Lirong was the first to ask Tan Yue if he was still satisfied with the big changes in "Tiger Fight".Tan Yue gave a positive attitude with reservations.

Shao Lirong and Shao Weiming glanced at each other, and they both read a secret sigh of relief and a sense of relief that they had succeeded in each other's eyes.Tan Yue just pretended to focus on shaking the goblet in his hand, the dark red wine was swirling perfectly, and the aroma was tangy.

"Mr. Tan means... would you like to act in this play?" Shao Lirong asked straight for the answer.

"Since my agency agrees, I can accept it too." Tan Yue nodded, putting the company in front to cover up his true thoughts.

What the uncle and nephew of the Shao family were waiting for was this hit-it-all moment.On the surface, the two sides happily confirmed the cooperative relationship in words, and then entered the long-awaited link of taking the initiative.

"Mr. Tan, since you have given us Hongxin face in this way, we will naturally pay more attention to this drama. From now on, its preliminary preparation and publicity will begin. In this regard, we plan to have an innovation." Shao Weiming took out a document from his bag and handed it to Tan Yue.

Tan Yue quickly flipped through the program planning called "The Age of Interpretation of the Stars", and immediately understood the intention of the other party to ask him to be a judge of the mirror talent show.

The planning is very good. This program is a special project of the "Star Fashion" channel: it is planned to let about ten young people simulate the real mirroring process in an open way, and several well-known actors are invited to comment.

In general drama mirrors, the right to choose roles lies with the director, producer and other behind-the-scenes decision makers.For Hongxin's special program this time, it is undoubtedly a big reversal to have famous actors as judges.What's more, there are new and old actors in the show who simulate acting together, which is even more eye-catching.

"Who are the judges?" Tan Yue realized that he had been kidnapped - he was told to participate in the show, not to choose whether to participate.Because the uncle and nephew of the Shao family made it very clear that it is closely related to the promotion of "Tiger Fight".

"Besides you, I plan to include Zhen Chun, Wang Ledi, and Su Qinxin." Shao Weiming replied, Needless to say, Zhen Chun is the one who will be praised in "Tiger Fight" this time, and Wang Ledi has just one in preparation As for Su Qinxin, Hongxin has already decided that she will be the heroine of another TV series.

Tan Yue didn't frown obviously, but there was already a contest in his heart.Except for myself, the other three are from the Shao family.Su Qinxin is a small female star, her reputation has just been revealed, and she is not yet ready for success; Wang Ledi is probably not very reconciled to missing out on the Magnolia Award.Hongxin chose these four people, no matter from the perspective of old and new, new movie speculation or the best actor competition, they are all excellent topics.

"Mr. Shao, I may not be the one to speak. Your idea is very good, but have you ever thought about what to do if the winners selected by the public viewing mirror are not suitable for the characters in the drama? Besides, the judges are only actors, and there is no The right to speak in the final decision." Tan Yue poured cold water twists and turns.

"Your consideration is very good." Shao Lirong smiled and said: "Actually, from the planning of the whole program, even if the banner of casting two dramas and one drama is not played, the program itself already has a strong sense of freshness and appeal. .”

Shao Weiming added from the side: "Mr. Tan, you can also see that the first thing we want to praise in "The Age of Stars" is the judges, and the works of the judges." So far.

Tan Yue leaned heavily on the sofa cushion, then turned to his assistant Wu Dong and said, "Report Hongxin Media's program planning to the company."

Knowing that he agreed indirectly, Shao Lirong simply struck while the iron was hot: "It is estimated that the recording time of the program will be ten days later, and then I will have to trouble you again."

Tan Yue waved his hands without saying a word. He sank into the back of the chair and lowered his head slightly. Dealing with people from the Shao family and today's long journey without time to rest made him inexplicably tired.

After a moment of silence, no one spoke first.Tan Yue tried his best to get rid of the uncomfortable state, and said casually: "I remember that the piano performance here can order music, right?"

"What does Mr. Tan want to hear?" Shao Weiming asked respectfully.

Tan Yue called the waiter himself and said, "Tell the luthier, it's the same as last time, "Boat Song"."

The waiter returned shortly afterwards and conveyed that the luthier would not be playing, sorry.Before Tan Yue had time to ask why, he heard Shao Weiming blame others and himself to excuse himself: "The luthier is new, who knows that this level is so poor..."

"New?"

"Oh, yes. It turns out that Xiao Cheng seems to have good qualifications, so it's a pity to put it here. Hongxin Entertainment signed him. If Mr. Tan wants to listen to him play, there will be a chance in the future."
