This star doesn’t work overtime

Magic City.

In a TV studio.

Wang Cheng stood in front of the mirror of the bathroom sink, with his hands on the sink, and stared at himself in the mirror with an expressionless face.

He was a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a handsome face and a hint of softness. He was very similar to the Zunlong in Wang Cheng's memory, and at the same time had the sharp edges and sharpness of Yanzu.

In terms of appearance, it is still above the peak of Wang Cheng's youth in his previous life, which makes Wang Cheng immediately feel a sense of belonging.

Standing just over 1.8 meters tall, he has just reached the threshold of an idol star in the new era.

He has a well-proportioned figure, except that one of his legs is a little longer than a person of the same height, so the overall figure looks more slender and well-proportioned.

Such a young man with almost perfect appearance should be high-spirited and full of energy...

But!

At this moment, the pair of eyes on the almost perfect face in the mirror are full of seeing through the vicissitudes of the world, with surprises, regrets and other complex emotions that should not appear in an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy.

Wang Cheng murmured in a low voice: "You are actually reborn in another world? It's not in vain that I spent several billion to do charity. Good people will be rewarded..."

The corners of his mouth gradually turned up.

The emotions in the eyes are gradually filled with surprise!

He raised his hands and looked at it, stretched his legs, took a deep breath, and felt the extremely relaxed young body. Wang Cheng slowly raised his hands and gently stroked his black hair from his temples. He stood up straight Standing straight, he slightly raised his head to look at the ceiling, and said with a smile: "Haha, young and healthy, so good..."

After losing my health and losing my life to pain and illness, only when I regained my health did I realize how precious this thing that is usually ignored by many people is.

In his previous life, when he was young, he worked hard because he wanted to get ahead. Although he was at the pinnacle of the entertainment industry in his forties, he was diagnosed with cancer at the age of forty-five, and he could only transition behind the scenes and enter health care. He used the best medical methods to extend his life, but in the end he only lived for ten more years and died on a hospital bed at the age of fifty-five!

During his illness and treatment, he endured the pain and the torture of drugs in the hospital bed, and watched himself walking towards the end of his life bit by bit. Wang Cheng regretted more than once that he did not take care of his body when he was young. Seeing that his life could not be saved, he also thought about it more than once. I wish to end my life as soon as possible so as to get rid of this painful torture as soon as possible.

He was only fifty-five years old. For a legend in the entertainment industry who was at the pinnacle of film, television and singing, it was too early to leave. If he was healthy, he would definitely leave more wonderful works.

Wang Cheng thought that after ten years of suffering from illness, he had long lost sight of life and death.

But at this time, when he looked at the young face in the mirror and felt the healthy and energetic young body, he realized that he was not looking down on life and death, but just looking down on death. This allowed him to face death more calmly.

But at the same time, he has a deeper desire for life and health!

If he could have it again, he would protect his health and life at all costs.

Now that he really has it again, he has only one thought in his mind!

In this life, he must live to be a hundred years old!

He didn't want to go through another life of suffering ten years of illness and dying at the age of fifty-five!

…

Many emotions gradually flowed in Wang Cheng's heart, making his eyes keep changing, and finally they all passed away one by one!

"This whole life... just goes by like this... haha..."

Shake your head!

Wang Cheng's eyes were full of plainness that saw through everything.

Everything you once had doesn't matter anymore.

No matter how much you have, it is not as valuable as your own life...

After death, no matter how much you have, it means nothing.

Only by living can you continue to have it!

"It's not too late to understand now!"

Wang Cheng straightened up, feeling his healthy and strong young body again, and was very satisfied.

Now that I understand.

Then do it and cherish it.

"Now that I'm retired, I can find a small mountain village to live in seclusion. I can occasionally fish, grow vegetables, and drink tea. If I'm short of money, I can write two books that I read in my previous life, or scripts, or popular songs. I should be able to easily satisfy my retirement life. Bar?"

After Wang Cheng calmed down, he immediately began planning for retirement.

Now he just wants to live longer and healthier.

Nothing else matters anymore.

name?

Nothing happens when you die. No matter how famous a star you are, no one will remember you as time goes by.

profit?

No matter how much money you make, you can't take it with you when you die. All you have is the cemetery.

Now nineteen years old...

Take good care of your health!

Living to be ninety-nine is not too much, right?

There are still eighty years left to enjoy life.

Eighty years?

It seems there isn't much time left.

Wang Cheng felt an inexplicable urgency in his heart, and he began to think about the various health knowledge he had accumulated during his previous life. If he started to maintain his health now, he should be able to live to be a hundred years old, right?

"Wang Cheng, what are you doing? Everyone is waiting for you."

A shout came from outside, which brought Wang Cheng out of his memories and thoughts, and then he remembered his current situation.

He is currently participating in the talent show "Eastern Star" hosted by Shanghai TV Station.

With such good looks and temperament, he will naturally be discovered by talent scouts.

He just signed a trainee contract with Dongxing Entertainment in Magic City last year. After a year of basic training, Wang Cheng and several trainees from the same company formed a group to participate in the talent show variety show of Magic City TV Station Eastern Star, making its first debut attempt.

Wang Cheng frowned slightly.

He just planned to retire and live in seclusion immediately!

Now I find out that I still have a trainee contract?

After recalling it carefully, his expression became a little more relaxed. Fortunately, the contracts he signed were not those of child labor trainees sold by entertainment companies for ten to eight years...

Wang Cheng's temperament and image were very popular, so he was competed by several entertainment companies at that time. Under the competition, the contract was naturally more relaxed.

In the end, Wang Cheng chose to sign a three-year trainee contract with Dongxing Entertainment, which was the shortest contract among several companies.

Although the salary is not high, the time is the shortest.

At that time, Wang Cheng was also extremely confident in himself and chose the lowest 19-cent offer. He would only get 10%, but he required a shorter term. Several other companies were unwilling to give a three-year short contract, and the minimum starting point was five years. Ten years is more than the longest life cycle of a traffic star, and it is enough to squeeze out all its value without the contract expiring!

In the traffic era, traffic stars come out of the production lines of companies just like industrial products. They are highly replicable and homogeneous. Therefore, entertainment companies do not care so much about each traffic star and give them extremely harsh treatment. It's up to you to sign the trainee contract. If you don't sign, there are people who are willing to sign it.

Only Dongxing Entertainment gave Wang Cheng a three-year short-term contract, but the share was further reduced, from 28% to 19%. Wang Cheng could only receive 10% of his own labor income, and this 10% income had to be distributed to his agent. , he didn’t even get a cent, and he still had to pay taxes, but in the end Wang Cheng chose Dongxing Entertainment, which had the shortest time.

It would be no exaggeration to say that this contract is a waste of time...

But this is the ecosystem in the traffic era. No matter how popular traffic stars are, they all work for the brokerage company behind them.

but.

At this time, Wang Cheng didn't care.

How much to divide.

It doesn't matter.

It was just money, and he had long been dismissive of it.

Short time is most important.

He will be free when the contract expires.

He can retire early and take care of himself.

There are still two years left. I just hope that my health and longevity will not be wasted during the two-year contract period.

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

There was a gentle knock on the door.

Wang Cheng hurriedly recovered his thoughts, stood up and said softly: "Come in!"

The bathroom door was pushed open.

A very ordinary looking fat middle-aged woman walked in. This was Zhang Xiuhua, the temporary manager of their group, and could also be said to be their nanny. She followed them throughout the production process and helped them arrange daily life and other chores.

Wang Cheng quickly adjusted his emotions, and then showed off his acting skills that won two international movie stars in his previous life. He saw Zhang Xiuhua flashing a trace of panic and whispered: "Sister Hua..."

Although this is the bathroom of a TV studio and not many people come here, it is not a place where you can stay for a long time.

Zhang Xiuhua saw sadness and self-blame flash across Wang Cheng's almost perfect face, and couldn't help but feel distressed and loving in her heart. She said softly: "Xiao Cheng, don't take Hanwen's words to heart. He is too. I'm anxious just for everyone to advance, and I hope everyone can do better, and it's not aimed at you alone."

The memory picture just now flashed through Wang Cheng's mind and he knew what happened.

Tomorrow is the day when they will participate in the elimination round of the show. If they lose, they will pack up and go home.

Although this is their first appearance, even if they are eliminated, the company will continue to arrange resources for them in the future to strive for their debut.

but……

What young person doesn’t want to become famous quickly?

so!

In the past few days, they have been practicing every day, from six o'clock in the morning to around one o'clock in the evening...

At the end of every night, I feel so exhausted that I can fall asleep as soon as I hit the bed.

As for Wang Cheng himself, although he is the face of the team, his talent and strength in other aspects are very mediocre. Although he is not a hindrance, he is not one of the best. In addition, he has been too tired and tired these past few days. , so the few exercises just now went wrong, and the captain Zhang Hanwen said something sternly to Wang Cheng!

They are all arrogant young people, how can they endure being scolded by their peers several times?

After Wang Cheng and Zhang Hanwen argued for a few words, they ran to the bathroom alone. Just now they couldn't help but shed a few tears...

The memory of the scene flashes instantly.

Wang Cheng sighed in his heart.

Isn't this what he experienced at the beginning of his previous life?

only……

What he had experienced in his previous life was more difficult, and the hardships he had to pay were several times greater.

If it were him in the past, he would definitely say: work harder and work harder to succeed...

But now, he just wants to go back to his room to sleep and rest...

It's already one o'clock in the morning.

Staying up late is a skin killer, a health killer, and the biggest enemy of longevity!

"I know, Sister Hua, I just want to go back to sleep now."

Wang Cheng said softly, glanced at Zhang Xiuhua, and then quickly avoided it, as if he was very embarrassed.

Zhang Xiuhua was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "Wang Cheng, I know you have been working very hard recently. However, everyone is just like you, and they may even be more tired than you. You are a member of the team, and the performance is about to begin. You You can't back down at this time... You don't want to be the one holding you back, right?"

Holding back?

Wang Cheng recalled that he was really the one holding back today, so there was a conflict!

However, when it comes time to perform, he will definitely not be the one holding back!

The dance movements in his memory were still very simple for him. It was of course no problem to keep up with the rhythm of the group of children.

Having been in the entertainment industry all his life, Wang Cheng has always adhered to the principle that if he wants to do something, he must do his best. That’s why he stands at the top of the three major fields of film, television and music, and can succeed in every career after turning backstage!

This is the persistence engraved in his bones.

Either don’t do it, or do your best if you do it.

But now, he has determined that he can do his best.

so!

Let me go to rest quickly, otherwise my life will be short.

Wang Cheng shook his head: "Sister Hua, do you think it will be effective to overdraw the rest time and make everyone drag their tired posture to practice forcefully? Everyone is very tired, including the captain Zhang Hanwen, who is insisting on forcefully, but Everyone is not focused mentally. This is half the result with half the effort.”

"Have a good rest, recharge your batteries, and then practice with concentration, the effect will definitely be better!"

"So, Sister Hua, my suggestion is to disband now, go back to rest, have a good sleep, recharge yourself, and practice again!"

If I didn’t still have a contract, I would be afraid that the company would make things difficult for me later...

Wang Cheng didn't bother to explain this at all and went back to sleep.

Now, anyone who stands in the way of his health is his enemy.

Zhang Xiuhua looked at Wang Cheng carefully in surprise, thought for a few seconds, then nodded and said: "You are right, you guys really need a rest now. Continuous high-intensity training has made you all too tired and too tense. Well, the effect of such training is greatly reduced..."

"Okay, you go and have a rest. I'll inform Hanwen and the others and everyone should go back and rest."

Wang Cheng nodded: "Sister Hua, please go to bed early."

After saying that, Wang Cheng turned around and left the bathroom and walked to his room.

Zhang Xiuhua looked at Wang Cheng's back and realized keenly that Wang Cheng seemed different now.

However, she didn't think much about it, and quickly came to the practice room, clapped her hands to a few young guys, and shouted: "Boys, that's it for today. Go back and have a good rest. Come back tomorrow."
