Jiang Yilei, who is far away in Beijing, has been living a prosperous life recently.
Unexpectedly, I mustered up the courage to go to Hangzhou last time and signed a contract with Yi Nian Media, which would completely change the trajectory of my life.
Originally, I just wanted to use the Internet platform to apply the knowledge I learned from Chinese opera during the postgraduate entrance examination process, but now I have put it into practice.
She didn't expect that this sudden idea would change her life so suddenly. Now, even when walking in the streets, people would recognize her from time to time, and some would even ask for photos and autographs.
It really made Jiang Yilei feel what it means to be flattered. Even his best friend Huo Nifang found it very flattering. After all, he is a serious 18th-tier star in the entertainment industry, but he is not as popular as Jiang Yilei?
However, after getting over the flattering stage, Jiang Yilei has finally tasted the benefits. Although she is a Chinese opera student, for most directing students, their destiny in life is to work behind the scenes.
Even if it is a Chinese drama, there are very few people who can really bear the title of director and become famous.
The entertainment industry may seem glamorous, but for those who can truly stand in the spotlight, it is not an exaggeration to describe them as "one general achieves great success".
This is the cruel reality that Jiang Yilei realized after stepping out of the ivory tower and experiencing society for several years, so he chose to go to graduate school again to improve himself.
However, I didn't expect that, instead of being on the big stage of the entertainment industry, I inadvertently stepped on to a larger and more down-to-earth stage of the Internet. Between a drink and a peck, God's will is there.
As the ID [papijiang] becomes popular on the Internet, its popularity and fans are increasing. The number of fans of the scarf has already exceeded 2 million. Even the emerging platform of muse short video has already exceeded one million.
Not to mention there are other platforms where fans across the entire network can even reach the 10 million mark.
Even the Chinese opera instructor who was studying for graduate school paid attention to this, making Jiang Yilei a little star in the school. The instructor was even more interested in letting him consider combining his own experience as a direction for writing a thesis!
With this unique advantage, this graduation thesis is basically a sure thing.
This life has cleared up the clouds and seen the dawn, and there is hope every day. Coupled with the preferential treatment given by Yi Nian Media, Jiang Yilei feels that his life has indeed improved visibly.
I have even determined from my heart that this is a career that can be developed in the long term. Compared with entering the regular behind-the-scenes track and competing with thousands of peers, the rewards are very meager.
Although the direction of this new media creator is still unclear, it is precisely because the dust has not yet settled that it means infinite possibilities.
The first person to eat crabs needs not only luck, but also courage and ability.
After tasting the benefits and determining the direction of his life, Jiang Yilei abandoned his original mentality of treating it as a hobby and devoted himself wholeheartedly to this career.
Give full play to the advantages of my academic background, stimulate my creative desire, intensively export my own opinions, and further create a plump [Papi Jiang] image.
It is precisely because of this attitude that the many views expressed on the [Papi Jiang] account have resonated with more and more netizens, leading to a surge in popularity.
Even though YiNian Media has Zhou Dongsheng as the driving force behind it, if it weren't for Jiang Yilei's strong creative ability, it might not be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. On the contrary, it might be counterproductive with half the effort.
And while Jiang Yilei was still immersed in the creation of the next topic, the phone suddenly rang.
The best friends on the side were really interested in watching it. They picked up the phone and muttered: "Who disturbed my mood..."
When he saw "Xu Ruo'an" displayed on it, he sat up straight and said, "Mr. Xu's phone number!"
Jiang Yilei was still reading the article, but when he heard that it was Mr. Xu, he didn't dare to neglect him. After all, he was his immediate boss, and his current prosperous life could be said to be "completely" thanks to Yi Nian Media.
Drinking water and remembering the source, she naturally had to treat such an important call with caution. After answering the phone, Jiang Yilei showed a standard papi sauce smile on his face, "Oh, Mr. Xu! What big thing needs to alarm you to call in person..."
"Ah, oh, Magic City, no problem, we will definitely actively participate and cooperate with the company..." The expression on Jiang Yilei's face gradually became weird, and he hung up the phone after some pleasantries.
Best friend Huo Nifang couldn't help gossiping: "What's going on? Mr. Xu actually needs to call and inform him personally..."
"It is said that there will be an awards ceremony in the short video field in Shanghai at the end of the month. I was nominated and I was asked to attend..." Even though he was used to the changes in his life these days, Jiang Yilei said at a loss.
Award ceremony, this concept is a rare honor for people in the entertainment industry, but you didn't expect that you would have a chance to get involved?
Huo Nifang couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard this: "Is there an award ceremony here? It's quite formal. I'm familiar with this stuff. I'll go with you when the time comes."
"Don't think of leaving me behind. We have agreed that I will be your manager as long as we are rich and noble." Huo Nifang joked with a playful smile.
Although she is an 18th-tier star in the entertainment industry, Huo Nifang has also participated in many award ceremonies. Not only did she attend the Shanghai International Film Festival, she also won the Best Newcomer Award at a domestic film festival.
Being an agent cannot be said to be more than enough, it is completely overqualified.
Therefore, Jiang Yilei also laughed and scolded: "I can't afford to hire a big star like you, but the company just happened to cover all the expenses for two people. I will take you, the old man, instead of old Xu..."
"Hahaha, let Lao Xu pay for it at his own expense, otherwise he, a good wife, will have to think too much!" Huo Nifang laughed loudly, and the two best friends laughed and wrestled with each other.
In addition to Papi Jiang, in an old rural house in Miancheng, Sichuan, far away, a woman was busy beside the kitchen stove. The temperature of the stove dispelled the coldness of December.
Even though the woman was wearing a dungaree of coarse cloth, she still couldn't hide her pretty appearance.
There was a tripod erected on the side, and the camera faithfully recorded the process. Judging from his familiar and agile movements, it is not difficult to see that his accumulated experience is not something that can be achieved overnight.
This person is naturally Li Jiajia. Now she has long been accustomed to using cameras to record daily life to enrich her video material library. After all, in addition to the theme, a video also requires a lot of empty footage to fill in.
As long as you continue to accumulate materials, you can be more calm when editing the video and make the work appear more natural and full. This is also the experience that Li Jiajia has gained little by little.
At this time, the cell phone on her body suddenly rang, which made Li Jiajia frown slightly. She had no choice but to walk to the video and pause the recording. This short piece of material was probably going to be scrapped.
However, when I saw the caller ID on the phone, a bright smile suddenly bloomed on my face, as bright as the dark clouds fading away and the sun rising in the east, because the three words "Zhou Dongsheng" were displayed on the phone.
"Hey, boss! Huh? I'm going to Shanghai to attend the award ceremony..." Li Jiajia was slightly disappointed, thinking that the boss was on vacation again.
"The boss should also be participating, right? Okay!" Li Jiajia asked again, with a cheerful smile on her face after receiving the affirmative answer.
This seems to be a good idea. Since the boss is not free, it would not be a bad idea to go see him by himself. After all, after half a year, it has already passed from summer to winter.
The weather is getting colder and colder. I wonder if it will snow this year?
Li Jiajia took a breath of hot air and looked out the window. Dots of white salt suddenly fell from the sky...
