The weather was gloomy, with a strong howling wind, which caused pedestrians on the road to speed up their pace. Dark clouds slowly began to gather in the sky. When Fang Jing arrived at the stall, it was already drizzling.
Compared to the home court, there are not many big names here, and the atmosphere is much more relaxed. A group of fourth- and fifth-tier artists sit next to each other and chat in low voices.
Shen Hao, who bowed his head when he saw everyone and called him "brother" or "teacher", also straightened his back, raised his chest and raised his head, and nodded to greet everyone.
"Teacher Fang Jing, Teacher Shen Hao, please come over here and sit down for a while. When the rain stops, you can go up."
"Just call me Fang Jing. I don't want to be a teacher."
The staff were too polite. Fang Jing was not used to it, and he even felt a little embarrassed. I don’t know who can get used to this kind of behavior. Everyone in the entertainment industry is a teacher.
The props on the set are teachers, the assistants are teachers, and the young people who debuted at the age of 17 or 18 are also teachers.
If Xu Li knew that he was called teacher, he would have to be whipped. How could he dare to answer the question?
…
Shen Hao braved the drizzle to go to the venue to establish relations with the rehearsing artists. Fang Jing had no time to spare and followed the staff to the temporary prefabricated room.
There are two wooden rooms, one is for artists to temporarily rest and put on makeup. When Fang Jing came in, there were three or four people sitting sparsely.
The other room was used by dancers to change costumes and wait. People were coming and going and it was busy, so he didn't go in.
"Hey!" Fang Jing looked at a figure in the corner who was immersed in reading, "Why is Yang Yang here?"
Although Yang Yang is not a top-notch youngster now, he is handsome and well-known. He is almost on the same level as Ma Tianyu, who has been in the industry for four or five years.
Fang Jing didn't see his name on the list of home performances. He thought he had run out like Li Yifeng, but he didn't expect him to be here.
You must know that the popularity of the food stalls is completely different from that of the sports center. No one would want to come here if there were options.
I never saw that Ma Tianyu would rather spend four minutes singing Damn Tenderness over there than stay here for half an hour.
"Hello, Brother Yang, I am Fang Jing, a newcomer to the company. I didn't expect to meet you here!"
They were all from the same company, so there was no need for Fang Jing to keep a straight face, so he took the initiative and asked with a smile.
Yang Yang smiled brightly and put down the magazine in his hand, "Hello, I know you, why are you assigned here too?"
"A match?" Fang Jing caught the word and glanced at the other party. It seemed like there was a story!
"I have two games. I just came from the sports center."
"Oh!" Yang Yang nodded, remained silent, and continued to read with his head down.
No! What do these mean? Are you quite disappointed that I am not assigned here?
"Do you also like to read Tomb Robbery Notes?" Fang Jing then noticed the title of the book cover, which was Xu Shi's Tomb Robbery Notes.
"Just take a look."
Looking at the creases and large sections of sketched notes on it, Fang Jing didn't think it was a casual attitude. He thought of the things in his previous life and then realized it.
"Zhang Qiling, are you going to star in Tomb Raiders? Congratulations!"
Yang Yang was stunned, "How did you know?"
He received a notice from his agent half a month ago that he was offered the role of Zhang Qiling, but he has not received a reply yet.
"Hehe! Last month I saw Uncle Nanpai came to the company to sell copyrights, and now you are reading the tomb robbing notes. You guessed it."
"Really? Then how did you know that I played Zhang Qiling?"
"Uh!" Fang Jing scratched his head, "What about... I think your temperament and appearance match the little brother. You are cold and meticulous."
After thinking about it, he could only answer this way, you can't say that I have watched TV series before, right?
Not to mention, Zhang Qiling played by Yang Yang is indeed a classic. Although he doesn't have many lines, his appearance and charm are so good that Fang Jing originally became a VIP to follow the drama.
He has also watched the next few Tomb Raiders, and the acting was terrible. The lead actor was not as good as Li Yifeng, and Zhang Qiling even imitated Yang Yang.
Closing the book, Yang Yang leaned on the simple sofa and said with a smile: "You are the first one who dares to talk to me in public in the past few days."
"When those guys heard that I was going to change jobs, they all jumped up faster than anyone else."
Fang Jing was stunned, "Job hopping?" Did he miss something?
Damn it! It’s too early?
He remembered that Yang Yang did change jobs the year after Tomb Raiders Notes from His Past Life was broadcast, and left Happy World with Zhen Shikai, the company's vice president and his manager.
The specific reason for leaving has not been made public, but rumors are flying all over the Internet, some saying that resources are unevenly distributed, and some saying that the philosophy is inconsistent.
But it is true that Yang Yang developed better after leaving. Zhen Shikai founded his own entertainment company, Yang Yang's first brother, and all kinds of resources were given to him, and he became a popular star within two years.
I heard that when Zhen Shikai left, he also poached a group of people, including publicity directors, managers, and artists.
No wonder others dare not contact Yang Yang. What if the boss misunderstands him at this time?
Thinking about these rear scenes, I groaned secretly and leaned back calmly, just thinking about leaving as soon as possible.
It's all because he was busy making money some time ago and didn't pay attention to the company's affairs.
Putting the book on the sofa and shouldering it, Yang Yang stood up and stretched, "The book is a gift for you. There is no news at this time, so I guess you won't need it."
If he hasn't expressed his intention to leave yet, with Zhen Shikai's energy, it won't be a big problem to win this role.
But now that he is leaving, the chance that the company will continue to support him is almost zero. Who will raise their children?
Before Fang Jing could say anything, Yang Yang left, leaving only his back.
A few minutes later, more and more people came in, many of them artists from Huanrui World, and Shen Hao was among them.
Fang Jing put the book away and asked, "Didn't you say you were rehearsing? Why are you back? Is it raining heavily?"
"More terrifying than heavy rain!"
Shen Hao sat in the seat in front of Yang Yang and whispered: "Yang Yang is rehearsing, who in our company dares to stay outside?"
"Some people were seen having dinner with him two days ago. When I got home, my manager withdrew several notices, saying they were afraid that people would follow them."
"In that case, just don't arrange for him to come."
"You don't understand. The silkworms will die when they die! After all, they are second-tier stars. Wouldn't it be better to shed the last drop of sweat before leaving?"
Fang Jing:……
…
It was almost six o'clock when the two of them finished rehearsing. Shen Hao stayed behind to eat and drink with artists from the same company, while Fang Jing went directly back to his residence in the community.
Xiao Wenjing sent him the position map after the rehearsal. The second row was fourth, and the first row was Han Hong and Huang Xiaoming.
His stomach growled with hunger. As soon as Fang Jing finished making a takeaway call, his computer displayed a message forwarded.
"Modu TV New Year's Eve poll, who is your favorite star?"
"Vote on your mobile phone at 7:30 on December 31 to help the singer!"
"Sister Ning! What happened to the meager payment just now?" Fang Jing called and asked.
His social accounts are basically managed by Yang Ning and the others, with an average of at least three messages a week, some of which include forwarding celebrity news and some of his photos.
Yang Ning spoke very quickly, "The organizer and the company have done this. On New Year's Eve, the audience will have a voting session to see who is more popular."
"Don't think about it, it's none of our business, just forward it as usual."
