Enter the show

Chapter 38

"The love marriage is like fire, the playful little princess of the best prince? Is the name so long?" Chen Ge was a little puzzled.

Sister Si: "That's right, so the title of the novel is so long, but when it is filmed into a drama, it should be shortened for the audience to remember."

"Sister Si, have you read the script?"

"Look at what you said, I don't even read the script, am I the kind of irresponsible manager who just helps you get the script for the name of the female lead? Don't worry, I have read the script. The heroine is the little girl." Wangfei, pretty and cute. Although she is a bit silly and sweet, everyone likes to watch this kind of silly and sweet TV series now, right?"

Hearing what Sister Si said, Chen Ge knew better.

"Sister Si, do you think I am suitable to play Silly Baitian?" Chen Ge said, "I dare not say silly Baitian, but I am really not sweet, not only not sweet, but also a little salty. Is it a little bit salty for me to play this little princess?" Suspected of pretending to be tender?"

Unexpectedly, Sister Si interrupted her immediately, and encouraged her enthusiastically: "What are you thinking Chen Ge. Although you are not a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, don't you know how beautiful your face is? Everyone in the company is saying that you are very malleable, what's wrong with playing a little princess? Have you read the comments on your Weibo? They are all calling your daughter. Do you know how many lost mothers you have now? "

Chen Ge: "..."

"Besides, what is a professional actor? A professional actor is what you look like. You can't just say what type you are. That's too fixed a performance route, and it's not good for your future development."

After all, Sister Si is a manager, so she plays tricks.

Although Chen Ge usually watches a lot of movies, she is not completely ignorant of the TV drama market.

She knows too well that this little princess is actually an idol drama.

It doesn't require too much acting skills, it's quite easy, just show your face and finish the filming lively.

The excitement just now was gone, and Chen Ge sat in the car without speaking.

It was already late at night when we arrived in front of the apartment she rented. Chen Ge got out of the car in a daze, and Sister Si came over to continue chatting with her:

"I have brought you for so many years and I know you well, and I know what you are thinking now. Don't you just want to act well and become a real actor? Speak with your strength, right?"

Chen Ge nodded slightly.

"But where can I find such a good job now? Look at the current situation of the entire film and television market. It's very impetuous. Good scripts only come out once every few years, and they all want to make a wave of quick money. They are top-notch actors. , it is very difficult to act in a well-known and profitable drama, let alone us?"

The night in Beijing at the end of July was dry and hot, and the two of them had been away from the air conditioner for a while, and their foreheads were already sweating.

Chen Ge looked at the old community she lived in which was built in 1997. The dilapidated roads had never been repaired.The crooked iron door was barely closed, and an old man was sitting in the sentry box listening to the radio, looking at Chen Ge and the others curiously while listening.

"I know that because of this reality show, you are now a little popular and a fan. But in the end, we are still at the bottom, don't be too ambitious. You listen to my sister, do a few plays in a solid manner first..."

Chen Ge suddenly asked her: "Sister Si, does the company not want to train me?"

Sister Si: "...Why do you ask that, how come?"

Chen Ge said: "I made some money from this reality show, enough to eat for a while, and I won't die from starvation. I don't want to make quick money anymore, I just want to act in a better show in a down-to-earth manner, and play a better role." role, rather than immediate traffic realization.”

Hearing the words "traffic realization", Sister Si felt embarrassed to be exposed.

But she will not be so stupid that Chen Ge finds out that she has been told the truth.

Sister Si held the door of the car with one hand, and smiled: "Traffic realization... Where did you learn the word? Can this be called traffic realization? Isn't this just filming? Huh? There are high and low levels in filming?"

Chen Ge: "You do the same with Xiao Mao, right? Whichever project makes more money and can show her face, push her to that project. In fact, you haven't considered her career planning carefully, and you haven't considered what she is suitable for."

Sister Si put her face down: "...Xiao Chen, you have to know that actors of every class have their lives. You and Xiao Mao are in this class, so you should accept your fate. The IP I connected to you has I spent a lot of time and effort to tear it down for you. The management will choose you, is it because of your acting skills? Of course not, what they are looking for is your current popularity!"

Sister Si said a little bit hotly: "If you don't take advantage of the popularity of this variety show to quickly release a work, after the variety show is over, there will be a new variety show with a fresh face to replace you, and you are still picking three. Pick four, if you don’t act this way, who don’t act that way, who do you want to have trouble with? Needless to say, it’s only been a month, and now you are still chasing fans who are crying and saying they love you under your Weibo, turning their heads will throw you Forget it, believe it or not? It’s hard for you to do anything without exposure these days. Yes, what about the realization of traffic? If you change to the past, you don’t even have the traffic you want, so how can you monetize it? Now you have Oh, why can’t you figure it out? Girl one, the girl you’ve been thinking about for so long is finally here! Are you sure you really don’t want it?”

Chen Ge was yelled at by Sister Si, and his ears were buzzing: "I know what you said is actually quite right, but if I really play this little princess, next time you will give me more of the same one." The role. Just like Xiao Mao in these years, he has always acted as a charming and brainless female supporting role."

Sister Si: "...You guys have been in the same crew for two days, and you still have revolutionary feelings? She really tells you everything. Why, she doesn't want to do it anymore?"

"No, she didn't say it, but I saw it myself."

Chen Ge asked Sister Si very seriously, "Sister Si, just give me an accurate statement. Does the company still want me to act seriously? Even if it's like before, it's good to play a passerby."

Sister Si really didn't understand: "You want to play passers-by as long as the eldest daughter is not acting? You like being a supporting role so much, don't you?"

Chen Ge said with certainty: "I just want to be an actor and act well."

Sister Si pursed her lips and nodded vigorously, took out her mobile phone and made a call, then came back and said to Chen Ge, "Chris will talk to you directly tomorrow, go up and rest first, you have been tossing around all day."

Chen Ge nodded wearily, and walked rumblingly into the community pushing the suitcase.

"Chen Ge."

Halfway through Chen Ge's walk, Sister Si called her to stop, "It's not a relationship between a manager and an artist, but just a friend. Let me tell you something. You can only talk about ideals when you are full, otherwise it is all nonsense. And, now Is there any ideal in this world? Sister, I would like to ask you, do you really have such a bullshit ideal of becoming an excellent actor? Do you want to win the Jintong Award or the Oscar? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous? Or you can rent it first The ability to build a good house before talking about ideals?"

After listening to her, Chen Ge entered the community without saying anything.

The six-story old building has no elevator, and Chen Ge lives on the fifth floor.

After struggling to carry the suitcase into the house, his back was soaked with sweat.

At midnight, her roommate was still on the phone arguing with her family.

This scene was exactly the same as before she left, it was as if the world went around, and after seeing countless wonderful scenery, they returned to the original place.

I pushed the suitcase into my room, and when I wanted to go to the bathroom to take a shower, I found that my roommate, who was scolding my family just now, was crying inside.

Crying desolately, like being haunted.

Chen Ge didn't want to bother her.

I feel uncomfortable without taking a shower and can't sleep, so Chen Ge is waiting here.

There is a small window in the shared house, which is really small, hanging in mid-air, like a small prison window.

Standing at the window, Chen Ge remembered what Sister Si said, which was actually quite true.

Now she doesn't even have the ability to rent a house with an elevator by herself, and she finally has a little improvement, she should seize it.

Will the little princess be her best chance?

Or is it that her best chance has not yet come, and she can still persevere for her ideal?

Is there any ideal in this world now?

This is what Sister Si asked her.

Is it not?

Chen Ge has always felt that people live for ideals.

The next day, Chris and the new CEO of Baima Film and Television arrived at the company and talked to Si Jie about Chen Ge's situation.

The new CEO, surnamed Sun, felt amused when he heard about Chen Ge: "I've seen this kind of person a lot, I'll tell her, I promise to treat her well."

Chris has been in contact with Mr. Sun for two days, and he knows that this person has a bad mouth, so he specially reminds:

"Don't scare Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen is actually pretty good. His acting skills are recognized as good, but his career planning is too rigid. He is actually a talent."

When Chen Ge arrived at the company, Chris asked her to come to the meeting room for a chat.

Chen Ge put the bag outside, and the phone she put in the bag started vibrating as soon as she entered the office, but she didn't notice it.

Chen Ge entered the conference room, and Chris introduced her: "This is our new CEO, Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun, this is our artist Chen Ge."

Mr. Sun is in his 40s, with a big oily hair, a round face and small eyes, and he is smiling at Chen Ge.

Just as Chris asked, "I heard you don't want to play the little princess", the phone rang.

She glanced at it, it was an unfamiliar number, and hung up.

Soon, her assistant came over and said that someone called from the office landline and said they were looking for her.

Chris went to answer the phone, and Mr. Sun and Chen Ge were left in the office.

Mr. Sun said to Chen Ge: "Xiao Chen, I'm a straightforward person. I didn't feel ashamed to speak when Chris was here just now. Now it's just the two of us, can we speak from the bottom of our hearts? Listen to my suggestion?"

Chen Ge nodded.

Mr. Sun pointed to the table with his middle finger: "I can understand that you want to be a good actor and shoot good works. But you also have to look at your own conditions. Do you have any works that you can produce?" ? Or do you have a strong interpersonal relationship that can allow you to rise to the top in one step and star in a hard-core drama with an investment of tens of millions or hundreds of millions?"

Chen Ge frowned: "I didn't want to..."

Mr. Sun sneered twice: "You can think quite well, but who would like you? You don't think that if you get a little attention through this variety show, you can get wind and rain, right? Don't Speaking of those like you who have no works and no fame, those actresses who have already achieved fame have passed the age of youth and beauty, how many of them are now at home? How many young and beautiful actresses have passed by when you walk around China Opera and Nortel? Graduates of professional training are getting ready, you see people in their thirties, what are you going to do to compete with other young people? What do you want to play if you don’t want to play an ancient puppet? Hmm? Tell me, do you want to win an Oscar?”

Chen Ge clenched his fists, his face flushed red.

She would have liked to have a heart-to-heart talk with Chris.

It's not that the little princess can't act, she's not so rigid and ignorant of good and evil.

I just hope that the company will not lock her acting path in the future, so that she can try more.

No matter what kind of role it is, as long as the script is good, she is willing to play any supporting roles.

But this President Sun didn't want to talk at all, he just wanted to belittle her, which was too much, and Chen Ge is a typical person who prefers softness to hard work.

If we talk about it well, it will be done.

But if you hold her down and scold her, her stubborn temper will be ignited immediately.

Mr. Sun continued to scold: "I heard that you really like Luo Jingyi, right? Ms. Chen, you don't think about being able to soar into the sky and go directly to a play written by Luo University, right? Just because you recorded a show that broke the Internet? Isn’t it too daydreaming?”

"I said I won't act if I don't act." Chen Ge stood up and was about to go out.

"Okay." Mr. Sun said, "It's fine if you don't act. Have you read the contract? Pay the liquidated damages. I've done the math for you. If you get 200 million, you can stop acting in this drama. How about it?" ?”

Chen Ge was trembling all over.

After Mr. Sun finished beating the stick, he changed his face.Said gently: "People really should have ideals, what if they come true. But are you qualified to talk about ideals now? No. Then let's be realistic. Acting as this little princess can easily earn a million and 80 , what's wrong? This is just the beginning. You'll still use you for the next film after you've acted, and we can pay more at that time. Isn't it good to just lie down and make money? Why do you want to be a coolie and climb a mountain with heavy loads? What? Ms. Chen, let me tell you the truth, at your age, if you don’t make this movie, you will be at the end of your career. If you want to be popular again, unless the pie falls on your head. "

Chen Ge looked at him: "So, the company really didn't want to train me well, did it?"

Mr. Sun smiled: "Whether you cultivate or not depends on whether you have the fate, and now there is no environment for you to grow slowly."

Chen Ge: "Is it 200 million to terminate the contract?"

Mr. Sun laughed: "Yo, this is all about the termination of the contract?"

"If you don't want to train me, there is no need for me to stay. I will pay you a termination fee."

"The termination fee is easy to say, 2000 million."

Chen Ge was shocked: "What? 2000 million?"

"That's right, the 200 million you were talking about was a liquidated damages, not a termination fee. The termination fee is much more expensive. You can't let the company support you for so many years, right?"

Mr. Sun took out the tablet, found the contract and showed it to her: "Here, it was clearly written when I signed the contract."

Chen Ge: "You guys are overlord clauses!"

Mr. Sun shrugged his shoulders: "It's too ugly to say that, and the current contracts are all signed like this. Hey, Miss Chen, don't say that the company bullies you. Well, if you can have better connections to perform the drama you want, We will definitely support you. If you don’t have the ability, wouldn’t it be better to listen to the company’s arrangements? Otherwise, I know that you can’t pick up 200 million, let alone 2000 million.”

Mr. Sun said he was thirsty, and poured himself a glass of water: "Think about who you are, but there is no other way for you to choose."

Sitting here, Chen Ge felt humiliated and chilled all over.

Layers of suffocation made her heart ache.

Can I go to court?

But in case of losing, more time and money will be wasted.

From now on, she will be the puppet of Baima Film and Television?Is it an involuntary puppet?

Is there anything in her life that I can control?

squeak.

The door opened.

Chris came back, but she stood at the door of the meeting room, holding the doorknob and didn't come in, with a very strange expression on her face, as if she hadn't recovered from the shock.

She looked at Chen Ge with eyes that could not see through or understand, as if she was dreaming.

Chen Ge: "?"

President Sun asked her, "What's the matter?"

Chris's eyes glazed over: "Underage last wish."

Mr. Sun didn't understand: "What?"

Chris didn't watch Mr. Sun, but only looked at Chen Ge: "Luo Jingyi's new movie, I want you to audition."

Chen Ge was still standing there, she seemed to understand, but still didn't seem to understand.

The rest of the company heard it and all gathered over.

"Who?! Luo Jingyi's new movie?! The one that has been in preparation for two years?! The director ordered Tao Xiaobo's one?"

"The one with the best photography team at the Jintong Award?!"

"Underage last wish?! What the hell?! Real or fake?! Looking for Chen Ge?! Which character are you trying to play?!"

Chen Ge stood up abruptly.

Chris almost knelt down: "Female number one."

Mr. Sun: "??"

Everyone: "???"

Chen Ge: "Huh????"

Luo Jingyi's movie... Teacher Luo's daughter? !

This is a dream, right?Chen Ge asked himself, is he dreaming?

The author has something to say: here we come~~~

If she is going to be Teacher Luo's daughter-in-law, will she be far behind?
