"If you have some ambition, don't underestimate yourself." Yang Ning encouraged Fang Jing, "You are no worse than anyone else."
"Penguin Music will have an awards show next week. Do you know how many awards you have won?"
"two?"
Fang Jing also heard some rumors that he had won an award because of the album, but he didn't care. This thing had no gold content and was purely for outsiders to see.
Didn’t you see that a certain female singer has won more than 150 awards? Most of the companies paid for her, and many of them have never heard of her.
Yang Ning stretched out her thumb and index finger, "One!"
"Best Song, Best Newcomer, Best Lyrics, Best Composer, Most Popular Male Singer, Youth Trend"
Fang Jing had a toothache, "Isn't the company a bit high-profile? Why are you spending this wasted money?"
"No money was spent." Yang Ning was depressed, but Fang Jingye didn't have any confidence at all. "It's all given by others. Don't you know what kind of song you want to sing?"
"I'll put the Tomb Raider Notes aside first and finish the endorsements and awards ceremony. I'll let you know if there's any news about the concert."
"To be honest, I don't know if you will achieve success in the future if you set foot in film and television, but if you concentrate on music, you will definitely have a place in the music world in ten years."
"Besides, making money is not important. Dreams are important."
In the afternoon, the interview continued, but this time Huanrui's production director was not here, so she didn't have time to deal with some small roles.
"Next, Su Haozhe."
When Su Haozhe heard his name being called, he took a deep breath, straightened his suit, and strode in through the door.
"Hello teachers, my name is Su Haozhe. I am currently a senior and studying at Nortel. I have appeared in six dramas. Although they were all small roles, I gained a lot. The role I want to interview this time is Jie Yuchen."
"Ahem!" Xu Shi coughed, "You look good, and your temperament is somewhat similar to Xie Yuchen's. But this role can be played well not only by appearance, but what I value more is your acting skills."
Assistant Director: Damn, who said before that temperament is more important than acting?
"I don't know what your professional knowledge is. Let's perform a section first, and the staff will give him a few words."
Even though Fang Jing said he didn't want this kid to live in a complete show, in front of so many people, it was a bit inappropriate to just say a few words and tell people to get out.
"Wu Xie, I know what your purpose is for coming here this time, but there are some things I can't tell you until the time is right."
It has to be said that Su Haozhe is indeed a professional, with first-class lines and a good memory. He can recite lines independently from the script in just a few minutes.
But as the old saying goes, if you don't like someone, it will be wrong no matter how good you are.
Xu Shi shook his head, "The major is pretty good. Leave your resume and go back to wait for notification."
His face turned pale, and Su Haozhe knew that this was out of the question. He didn't make a decision on the spot during the interview. He just called him back to wait for notification, which basically left him indifferent.
On the afternoon of the third day, Fang Jing had just finished shooting the endorsement commercial when he received the Tomb Raiders script, which was only a few pages in total.
The shooting started at the end of March. In order to fit the character's image, he needs to grow his hair a little longer. Fortunately, his hair is not short now. He will keep it longer and not cut it, and it will be almost the same by the time of filming.
As an important male supporting actor, his salary is also quite high, 2.3 million, Tang Yan 5 million, and Li Yifeng 7 million. This is a drama invested by the company, so the salary is kept down.
Otherwise, the salaries of Li Yifeng, Fang Jing, and Tang Yan could cover 10% of the total investment.
On March 17, Fang Jing went to attend the Penguin Music Awards. Along with Yang Ning, Wu Jiajia and Liu Wei, she also had a song nominated for the award, "Snow between the Eyebrows", for Best New Female Singer.
A long red carpet was laid out at the entrance of the venue. Liu Wei held hands and looked away. The two of them smiled all the way into the venue. The lights of reporters and cameras on both sides kept flashing.
"Phew!" Liu Wei took a deep breath as soon as he entered, "I'm so nervous. This is my first time walking on the red carpet."
"What's going on here?" Fang Jing shook his head, "Let's just practice now, and then we'll be excited when we step on the international red carpet in the future."
"Tch! You really stink."
When he came to the background wall, Fang Jing raised his professional smile again, took the marker from the staff, and signed his name on the wall.
Seeing that most of the walls were signed, Fang Jing could only sign the corners.
"Fang Jing! What is your relationship with Liu Wei? Are you a couple?"
As soon as I signed the contract, reporters started to ask questions.
"No, we are friends!"
"What do you want to say about this album's success?"
"Thank you to my fans and friends for their support. I will redouble my efforts and strive to produce better works in the future."
"Have you considered holding a concert?"
"We don't know about this yet. If there is any, we will notify you as soon as possible."
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
"No!"
"Then what kind do you like?"
"Uh! I'm still young, so I haven't thought about this. In the past few years, I have focused on work."
"and you"
"Don't keep asking me. With such a big person standing next to me, ask her too." Fang Jing pulled Liu Weila over to resist the fire.
"Liu Wei, it seems that the song you were shortlisted for this time was written by Fang Jing for you. Did you spend money on it?"
Narrowing his eyes into crescent moons, Liu Wei smiled and said, "Let's have some hot pot."
"Sure, Fang Jing! I'll ask you to rub it a few times instead, and you can write a song for me."
An inappropriate voice came from the side. Fang Jing turned around and saw a strange middle-aged man.
"Sorry, you are"
The man's smile froze.
Liu Wei touched Fang Jing lightly, nodded and said to the man, "Hello, Teacher Ouyang."
"Hello, Teacher Ou, I just made a joke, don't mind."
Fang Jing reacted and took the initiative to shake hands with Teacher Ou.
There are so many stars in the entertainment industry, including hundreds of people in the film, television and music circles, how can he know them all?
Coupled with the butterfly effect in this life, many familiar faces that should have appeared have disappeared, and some people I have never heard of have emerged, making it even more unclear.
"Hello!" Ouyang said without any embarrassment, "How about you think about it and write a song for me?"
"Let's talk about it later, I don't know what Teacher Ouyang's style is." Fang Jing did not agree and laughed and made a haha.
He doesn't even know him, and he writes songs without any relatives or friends. Do you really think he is a boy who throws away money? One song costs hundreds of thousands.
"Then I'll take it as your promise!"
"No! I don't dare to agree. I have too many things and am very busy recently. I don't dare to waste Teacher Ou's time. We can chat if we have time."
Fang Jing was a little irritated. This man really hit the snake with a stick. If there weren't so many reporters now, he would have left long ago.
"Okay! I'll wait for your call."
"Who's named Ou?" Fang Jing asked Liu Wei in a low voice as he entered and took his seat.
"A has-been singer was once very popular, but has had little success in recent years."
"No wonder! I said I don't know him. It's just that his familiar tone is a bit annoying. I don't know, but I thought he was very familiar."
Liu Wei chuckled lightly, "Just get used to it. Just watch. After a while, more people will come to you after receiving the prize. You will be annoyed by some of them by then."
Fang Jing is a sweet man now. Half a year after his debut, he released a series of hit songs such as Running, My Future Is Not a Dream, The Story of Time, etc.
There are many people who want to write songs for him, but if the company hadn't stopped him, the threshold would have been broken long ago.
