Chapter 003 Popularity's Counterattack(1/2)
Chapter 003 The counterattack of popularity
The afternoon rehearsal went smoothly.
The so-called live show seems to be performing on the spot, but in fact everyone has an outline of the lines. Follow the lines and just use a few more sentences on the spot.
At half past five, the rehearsal was over, and everyone went to put on makeup and had a meal.
Chen Shuting's agent Lao Xie took the opportunity to come to him and said something to comfort him, asking him to perform well.
"I know, Brother Xie, don't worry, I can't make any mistakes here." Chen Shuting patted his chest and promised.
"If there is any change, don't panic. Meng Qiran has been a host before. She has strong adaptability. You can act in the eyes of her eyes." Lao Xie reminded again.
Chen Shuting looked at Meng Qiran not far away. She was whispering to her agent. Zhen Jing and elegant, with black hair spreading on her shoulders, which made her snow-white face look particularly delicate and delicate.
"She looks quite young, she has been a model and a host? She has a lot of experience." Chen Shuting said.
"I debuted early and I am willing to endure hardships." Lao Xie said, then patted Chen Shuting on the shoulder hard, told him to go to dinner as soon as possible, and then go to the dressing room as soon as possible.
While everyone was in the dressing room, Director Gu came in.
Director Gu took the opportunity to remind him that there is only one central idea, that is, don’t make mistakes: “Our company has held such a big live show for the first time, so we must show our attitude. Attitude is a reflection of our ability, and everyone must take it seriously.”
"Do not worry..."
"How could the director turn the tide? "
"Don't worry, director, we are all professional."
Everyone answered very lively, but they didn't agree. If the live broadcast went wrong, the director was not good enough. What did it have to do with the stars like them? What they need to do is interact with fans.
Director Gu insists on the company's accountability and will not settle the accounts on the celebrities. For a company as big as Ruitang, the accountability system is very clear.
Director Gu was unsure of the first time that he was supervising such a big live broadcast event, and he held the actors and wanted them to share the burden.
These actors have been in the company for two or three years. Although they look young, they have learned more skill than monkeys. How could they be fooled?
Chen Shuting also dealt with it casually.
Director Gu walked to Chen Shuting and said to Chen Shuting with a smile: "Ating, thank you for your hard work in the afternoon! Please don't ruin Lao Gu's job in the evening, ah!"
Someone in the dressing room pursed his lips and smiled secretly.
It seems that the director is worried that only Chen Shuting. With Chen Shuting here, it would be strange if he doesn't make any mistakes. Chen Shuting still makes trouble regardless of his identity as an event as the New Year's Eve party.
The small live show was simply fantastic. It was hoped that Chen Shuting would not have any trouble.
"Director, don't worry, A Ting is my partner, I'll look at him!" Before Chen Shuting could speak, Meng Qiran, who was sitting on the makeup chair next to Chen Shuting, had a sweet voice to help Chen Shuting answer.
Meng Qiran felt that Chen Shuting would not be able to answer properly, so she simply spoke up.
She said something, which was a slight effort.
"Then the relationship is good!" Director Gu did not say anything anymore, and gave Meng Qiran a lot of face. He left before putting on makeup and went to work on his business.
"Thank you." Chen Shuting turned his head and said to Meng Qiran.
"It's nothing. Director Gu is a very careful person, so he just told those words for nothing." Meng Qiran said.
Meng Qiran was going to say a few more words. Her agent, Ms. Guo, was already coughing hard, and Meng Qiran was not allowed to continue.
Meng Qiran smiled.
She was dressed up with makeup today, so she didn't need to re-wear it now, just put some makeup on a little bit. Soon, Meng Qiran's makeup was over, and she left the dressing room first and went to the lounge to wait.
There was no one in the lounge, Meng Qiran was there, and no one else put on good makeup.
As soon as she sat down, Ms. Guo, the agent who followed in, began to say to her: "Qiran, you are so kind! Everyone knows what kind of person Chen Shuting is. He acts so terrible. Anyone who gets close to him will be tired of him! It's not easy for you to be polite to him today, so why bother with him?"
"Others are pretty good." Meng Qiran raised her white and slender wrist and gently teased her bangs. After her own teasing, her bangs became a small fan shape, connected to her slender eyelashes.
"Hello others?" Ms. Guo was dumbfounded.
"Well." Meng Qiran nodded, "In our circle, there are few people who are as direct as him. Everyone has their own advantages. Although he is reckless, he is straightforward when talking about it. Besides, he started very well. He has made a name for himself. He has never experienced the darkness in the circle, so he is not very sensible and simple. I envy him."
Miss Guo was stunned.
Meng Qiran smiled and took out her cell phone to play, not saying anything to Miss Guo anymore.
Miss Guo sighed.
Then, people put on their makeup and came in one after another, found a place to sit down and talked some polite words.
"Did Jiang Zhen and Meng Qi have had a holiday?" In a corner of the lounge, Zhu Wenxi, the second female actor of "Prosecutor Sweetheart", whispered to bite her female assistant.
Jiang Zhen is the heroine of this drama, the heroine who was regarded as "ugly" by the original owner of Chen Shuting.
Jiang Zhen is indeed not pretty, but not ugly. Jiang Zhen has a good temperament, good acting skills, and has a good vision to choose scripts. She is the heroine of popular TV series in the past two years, in the winter and summer vacations, and in the summer.
Besides, all the romance dramas are female audiences. The heroine who is too beautiful makes young audiences feel threatening and not strong inclusion. Therefore, the appearance is average and is the most suitable one.
"At the meager and forum, Meng Qiran's limelight overshadowed Jiang Zhen. At the last celebration banquet, the boss also specially praised Meng Qiran, which made Jiang Zhen very uncomfortable." Zhu Wenxi's female assistant told her.
Zhu Wenxi didn't know about these things. She was plagued by scandals last winter, and even had a scandal of interfering in other people's marriage and becoming a third party. The company asked her to rest for a while, so she went out for vacation and came back not long ago.
In "Prosecutor Sweetheart", Zhu Wenxi plays the vicious White Lotus best friend of the heroine. She must have been scolded by fans. She doesn't expect this drama to bring her any popularity, so she doesn't pay much attention to the news of this drama.
But Zhu Wenxi was very keen. As soon as she came in, she felt that the atmosphere between Jiang Zhen and Meng Qiran was very tense.
"Meng Qiran's limelight overshadows the heroine?" Zhu Wenxi felt incredible after hearing the female assistant's words.
Meng Qiran plays the heroine's sister. She has a 50-episode TV series. Her role is more than three hours long. Her role is smart and capable, yet smart. She is very loyal to the heroine and is loyal, but she suffers many times because of the heroine's Virgin Halo and eventually dies tragically. The audience feels very sorry for her.
Meng Qiran's popularity suddenly soared, and it was a counterattack. The limelight was stronger than the heroine, and it was only lower than the hero. Meng Qiran was more beautiful than Jiang Zhen, and the limelight was even higher, which was simply a lucky person.
Jiang Zhen was very unhappy.
Chen Shuting had just walked in, and there was a sudden silence in the lounge again, and no one wanted to pay attention to him.
People in the entertainment industry cherish their reputation. Blatant quarrels and fights will affect popularity and cause adverse effects. Popularity is opportunity and money, so everyone keeps away from Chen Shuting, a person who doesn’t know what he is.
Only Meng Qiran waved at Chen Shuting: "Ating, here..."
Chen Shuting sat next to Meng Qiran.
Zhu Wenxi, who was not far away, saw this scene and was so surprised that her chin dropped. She covered her mouth and leaned into her assistant's ear and asked, "Does Meng Qiran and Chen Shuting have a scandal?"
The female assistant's surprise was no less than Zhu Wenxi.
"I haven't heard of it." said the female assistant, "It's impossible. Meng Qiran just became popular. She pulled Chen Shuting to hype. Wouldn't she seek death?"
Zhu Wenxi felt that it was right.
Chen Shuting is a young and handsome guy who became popular last year, and then he has no works released. This year, his popularity has dropped by four-fifths. A small star like him who has no subsequent high-quality works, and his shelf life is the shortest. Chen Shuting is notorious and the company doesn't like him.
Undoubtedly, Chen Shuting has capital and is very handsome. The company has not yet squeezed out his value, so he can't bear to hide him.
Meng Qiran is different. She has been in the entertainment industry for five or six years, and has been struggling and becoming popular step by step. If she just got a little better this year, she would have a scandal, which would be unfavorable to her future.
If Meng Qiran and the male protagonist Zhu Chengtong were having a scandal, Zhu Wenxi would understand it.
With Chen Shuting?
Meng Qiran unless she is crazy!
"Although we don't have many lines, we still have to stand on the stage for two and a half hours." Meng Qiran complained to Chen Shuting, "I'm really afraid that I can't stand it."
Today is the live show of the crew, and everyone will go on stage together. Although they are not the protagonists and do not have the opportunity to perform, they cannot leave and must not leave until the end of the show.
"It's okay, if you have a chair, your legs won't be sore." Chen Shuting said.
When they come on stage later, the organizer will arrange a few high chairs to sit. The creators can sit down when they are not performing.
Chen Shuting and Meng Qiran didn’t perform much, so they should have to sit for an hour or two.
"It's not that you're afraid of your legs being sore, but that your face will be sore. You have to keep doing this..." Meng Qiran made a standard smile and showed it to Chen Shuting.
Even if you don’t perform, you should keep smiling. If you are photographed by a reporter or a fan, you will think that you have a conflict with a main creator and then quickly make up for a lawsuit.
Therefore, the people who stand by them must always smile with a faint smile.
This is actually very tiring.
Chen Shuting was amused by her.
"They are even more tired when singing and dancing." Chen Shuting comforted Meng Qiran, "We just need to smile."
Then, he also put on a standard smiling face and showed it to Meng Qiran.
Meng Qiran also laughed.
They were both talking, and it was time.
The host's voice came to the back through the curtain of the stage.
Today I am a male host, the head host of the White Fox Video Entertainment program, with a calm and humorous style.
After the host's speech ended, the creators of "Prosecutor Sweetheart" took the stage one by one.
The stage is full of flowers, the lights are dazzling, and the bright light shines on beautiful faces, either youthful and lively, or a clever smile.
The male protagonist came on stage first, and bursts of shouts erupted outside: "Zhu Chengtong, Zhu Chengtong, Zhu Chengtong!"
There are also "We love you", "We are all sincere and honest", etc., which is a lot of noise.
