Behind the scenes of the entertainment industry

It was the end of June, and it was the time when major universities in Yanjing were leaving for summer vacation. Even the entrance of Zhou Cheng and his alma mater, Nortel, was full of vehicles coming to pick up students for summer vacation, while China National Theater and other universities were

There is a difference.

The Chinese Opera is located in Nanluogu Alley. The entrance is only about three meters wide. With the tourists coming and going, there is not enough space to pass the wrong car, let alone park the car. So most of the cars here park on Gulou West Street.

, and then walk over by yourself.

While Zhou Cheng and Chu Ran were chatting, they saw many Chinese drama students pushing their luggage out of the school gate.

"Brother Cheng, look at the girl on the left. She is a level 05 Ying'er. This one is real." Chu Ran pointed to the two girls walking out of the gate and said to Zhou Cheng. They have been hanging out in the drama during this time, Chu Ran

However, I know a lot about the students here.

Zhou Cheng took a look, shook his head and said, "It's not my cup of tea. I like big waves."

"Big waves?" Chu Ran was a little surprised: "You like long hair now?"

"No, I like big waves."

This time Zhou Cheng paused deliberately, and Chu Ran finally understood. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, I'm a fellow traveler. I like the word big wave."

"Actually, the one next to her is better." Chu Ran's words made Zhou Cheng's heart clear away, and he slowly chose to forget the big wave in his heart.

"You're talking about the one in the white shirt and jeans, Qi Xi from the 04 Directing Department of the Chinese Opera. Li Ge just tried out with her this morning. Although he studied directing, his acting skills are good. You think she is good, so you probably have a crush on her.

I think I’m in good shape.”

"She just seems to be quite quiet. She will probably make art films in the future..." Zhou Cheng defended.

"I didn't expect your eyes to be very poisonous. You can see it all." Chu Ran looked at Zhou Cheng in surprise, and then questioned: "You don't know her, otherwise how could you tell it with just one glance?"

What is her future direction?"

The proud Zhou Cheng smashed a few pumpkin seeds, then looked at Chu Ran with a questioning look on his face and threw the shell at him: "This is my strength, otherwise why would I choose to be an agent?"

Zhou Cheng will not tell Chu Ran that Qi Xi in this world and Qi Xi in another world have almost the same appearance and temperament, and they will probably choose the same route.

"I don't believe what you said. I guess you made this judgment after hearing that director Gu Changwei was planning to invite her to film."

"Forget it if you don't believe it." Zhou Cheng curled his lips.

Chu Ran pointed to a few other students who were leaving school and said to Zhou Cheng: "Look at the two on the left? What are their qualifications?"

Zhou Cheng looked in the direction of Chu Ran's finger. On the left were a boy and a girl. The girl was very beautiful, probably a school belle, walking in front very arrogantly. The boy was relatively ordinary, with a round face, small eyes, and a little fat.

The five senses are squeezed together and it feels very festive.

The boy was probably a suitor of the girl. He looked very attentive. Not only was he carrying a large backpack, but he was also dragging a suitcase with a purple doll tied to it, which should belong to the girl.

After the two people walked out of the door, the boy must have seen the sunshine in the afternoon, so he jogged a few steps and bought a bottle of drink for the girl in a small shop not far away.

"Unexpectedly, I am still a licking dog. I am not afraid of licking until I have nothing left."

"Licking a dog?" Chu Ran couldn't help laughing after hearing Zhou Cheng's expression: "This is a good word, both vivid and vivid."

Only then did Zhou Cheng think that the word "dog licking" should be an Internet term that appeared in 2015. Unexpectedly, he had plagiarized it in advance. Then he continued the topic: "The boy's future development should be better, so I rushed to him."

With this cleverness and energy, you won’t have to worry about finding roles in the industry. As for girls, I’m afraid the upper limit is not high.”

"How come, I agree with what you said about Qiao Shan, oh, that's that boy. His appearance is very suitable for interpreting some small characters, and with the foundation of graduating from Chinese opera, there should be many opportunities in the future. But I don't judge Yang Luyao.

I agree so much. When she was in high school, she participated in a play directed by Han Ping. After being admitted to the Chinese Theater Academy, she became a popular figure among her students."

"Director Han Ping?" Zhou Cheng thought for a moment: "Is it the school drama called "Midsummer"?"

In Zhou Cheng's memory, this TV series called "Midsummer" was similar in content to the movie "Adolescence" that Zhou Cheng had watched before. Zhou Cheng remembered that there was a scene in which the heroine was doing sit-ups.

Shi Da exposed her chest muscles, causing the boy who was pressing her legs to have a nosebleed. Zhou Cheng looked at Yang Luyao, who played the heroine, and she fit half of his definition of "big wave".

The director of this film, Han Ping, is a beautiful photographer who belongs to the 99-level photography department of Nortel. She followed the tradition of the photography department. After working as a photographer for two years, she switched careers to shoot this youth idol film.

There are many directors at Yanjing Film Academy who have grown up from the photography department to famous directors, including Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, Zhang Li and others who are leaders of the fifth generation of directors.

The most famous ones in these years are Ning Hao, who just made a splash in the domestic comedy market last year, and Han Ping, who has suddenly emerged in the field of TV dramas in this world. But whether it is Zhou Cheng in another world or this world, these two people

The relationship can only be considered average. This may be because Zhou Cheng is too bored in school. Unlike Chu Ran, who is so versatile and has a group of brothers in each department.

Fortunately, Chu Ran kept looking out the window and knew nothing about the envious look Zhou Cheng looked at him, otherwise he would be in trouble again.

Chu Ran pointed at the girl who was gradually going away and continued: "Look at her figure and face, she is definitely the school beauty of this year. Even among the girls in school, there are not many who are prettier than her. It is said that Director Zhang will be the beauty next year."

She was the one who performed at the Olympic opening ceremony."

"Shouldn't their school beauty this time be Tong Liya?" Zhou Cheng had worked with Tong Liya once before traveling through time, so he knew a lot about her.

"Tong Liya? Is there such a person?" Chu Ran thought for a moment: "I haven't heard of it, I guess she's not very famous."

"Perhaps I remembered it wrong." Hearing Chu Ran's words, Zhou Cheng felt a little regretful. There are only a dozen girls in one class of the Chinese Opera Performance Department. Since Chu Ran has not heard of it, Tong Liya is afraid that she and Lin Shan

Likewise, in this world for some reason other paths have been chosen or they may not exist at all.

"I thought I missed it." Chu Ran watched the two of them walk around the corner and disappear, then turned to look at Zhou Cheng who was enjoying tea leisurely and asked: "You really don't think highly of Yang Luyao?"

Zhou Cheng doesn't know now. He just made the analysis based on his memory from another world. There was no famous actress in that world like Yang Luyao.

Perhaps he took it too much for granted. Zhou Cheng shook his head and reached out to serve Chu Ranxuan some tea: "Actually, it's not that she can't succeed. It mainly depends on whether she can persist in this circle."

"Tell me about it." Chu Ran picked up the cup, looked at Zhou Cheng and said doubtfully.

"One reason is, it's so beautiful." The world will be more convenient to obtain information more than ten years later. As an insider, Zhou Cheng also knows the inside story of the entertainment industry better. He explained to Chu Ran: "It's so beautiful.

Girls may have been held in the C position since childhood, oh, it means center."

"Don't make excuses for me, Mr. Chu, I know, please explain the key points." Looking at Zhou Cheng, who was a little embarrassed, Chu Ran was dissatisfied and wanted to throw a cup at him.

"Okay..." Seeing Chu Ran's fake action, Zhou Cheng put down his raised hand and continued: "Because she is too beautiful and has been in the center of being held by others for a long time, such a girl will have a smooth start, but it is also the easiest.

Influenced by the outside world, I can't stand setbacks. If I don't have a strong psychological quality and a strong management team, and enter this circle, I will be swallowed up by others in a few days."

"It's not as scary as you said. The crews I've been on are quite harmonious."

"That's because there are no top-notch ones." Zhou Cheng explained to Chu Ran: "The most indispensable thing in our circle is beautiful girls. But if they are too beautiful, it breaks this rule. Look at the previous girls in our school

Among them, the top few are not the ones with the best development, some have already retired and married, and some are still playing the role of female supporting characters."

"That's true." Chu Ran thought about it carefully.

Zhou Cheng continued: "Let's talk about this girl again. Look at her curvy figure. If she enters the entertainment industry, you think those old perverts from the capital side and the production side will not be tempted. When the conditions are met, you

Should she accept it or not? If she doesn’t accept it, she will be suppressed and lose opportunities again and again. If she accepts it, it will be tantamount to betraying herself. If you sell once, there will be a second time..."

Chu Ran interrupted Zhou Cheng with some doubts: "Those investors are not as insidious as you said."

Looking at Chu Ran, who was still a little innocent, Zhou Cheng smiled: "Okay, let's just assume that they will abide by the rules and the whole circle is very clean. Do you think this girl is particularly outstanding, will other beautiful girls be embarrassed?

If you lose some opportunities, you have to know that a woman's jealousy is the most terrifying thing. When some dirty water about right and wrong is thrown at her, will she accept it or not?"

"This is a problem. It depends on her own background and the public relations ability of the agency. If she has Liu Yifei's background or a agency team like Sister Hua, it should be able to help her block some of it."

Zhou Cheng knew that Sister Hua in Chu Ran's mouth was Wang Jinghua, who was known as the number one agent in the Mainland. He smiled at Chu Ran: "It's hard to say background, but the agency has a ranking order, and Sister Hua's company also has a ranking list.

No exception. If a new actress wants to rise to the top, she will inevitably infringe on the interests of others. You have to know that the strife within the company may be more fatal. Some sisters who are usually close to her may stab her in the back."

Chu Ran was a little silent when he heard Zhou Cheng's analysis, but he also understood that Zhou Cheng's analysis made sense.
