Chapter 189 The left guide who wants to make big moves
Zuo Le obviously didn't know Lei Jiayin's inner thoughts. If he knew, he wouldn't worry, and maybe he would even encourage him.
Many popular stars or actors in the entertainment industry rose up from the bottom relying on their ambition.
The entertainment industry is a colosseum, and ambitious artists are better able to win in it.
For Zuo Le, the boss, although he has no intention of creating a "wolf-like" corporate culture at Shanhe, he will never dampen the artists' motivation to make progress.
Without destroying the unity within the company, there can be appropriate and healthy competition, which is good for both artists and the company, and Zuo Le is happy to see the results.
The popularity of "The Story of a College Student" had little impact on Zuo Le.
First of all, he is not deeply involved in the show, and he has no share in the topic no matter how popular it is.
Secondly, when "Seven Swords" and "Wulin Gaiden" became popular all over the country and even in Asia, their momentum was much greater than this. Zuo Le didn't take the "small troubles and waves" in mind at all.
In the entire "Magic Phone" crew, only Shen Teng was truly affected.
When Shen Teng first joined the group, he was a little transparent person with no reputation, and his role was limited. Apart from following Zuo Le every day and often helping out with errands, there was almost nothing worth mentioning.
After the broadcast of "The Story of College Students", Shen Teng gradually became famous. After Tangshan's talk about ghosts and beasts, he became an Internet celebrity.
Now, anyone who treats Shen Teng as a transparent person is a fool. Shen Teng's presence on the "Magic Phone" crew has greatly increased.
However, no matter how much the number is increased, Shen Teng does not dare to stab the crew of "Magic Phone". The reason is that there are too many great people in the crew.
Not to mention director Zuo Le, the big boss in the industry, his own boss, could kill him with just a little finger.
A young man, a second-tier top artist, an old man in the company, a backbone of the Shanhe Kongwen Department, with a wide network of contacts.
The girl is Shui Miaomiao, a popular little flower, the first sister in front of the company.
The second male lead, Jiao Jun, is no less famous than him, and is highly valued by the director.
The second female lead, Zhang Jiajia, is a popular little girl and an old man in the company. She also belongs to the Shanhe Kongwen Department.
Hong Tao, Zhou Binbin, Bao Xiaoyong, and Zhang Yan are all senior actors in the industry and old friends of Zuo Le. The first two are also deeply involved in the Shanhe Kongwen Department.
Second uncle Yan Changying, not to mention Shen Teng, even director Zuo couldn't afford to offend him.
Wan Qian, it is said that she has a good relationship with the landlady.
After doing some calculations, Shen Teng found that he was just like Hua Mei. Dongzi and other young stars or newcomers were better, and they were promoted from being transparent to... being very transparent.
…………
"There is no sense of accomplishment at all after becoming popular."
Shen Teng saw that after he became famous, everyone was new to him for a while, and soon returned to his original state. He was quite emotional, and the joy and pride that had just risen in his heart were also shattered.
Of course, it’s not like there’s no one to support Shen Teng. Mao Tong, who plays Sun Feiyan, is very envious of Shen Teng’s popularity.
Mao Tong, a pure newcomer, just graduated from Chinese Opera in June this year. Just out of school, she learned about the casting of "Magic Phone" from her senior sister. With the attitude of giving it a try, she submitted a resume to Shanhe, but she was rejected. Zuo Le took a fancy to it, and after passing the audition, he successfully got the role of Sun Feiyan.
Luck is off the charts.
What's even more rare is that Sun Feiyan, played by Mao Tong, has a lot of scenes opposite Zuo Le, including kissing scenes and sex scenes.
Of course, the latter was just lying on a bed, with Wang Tianba naked and holding Sun Feiyan in his arms, without any extra movement.
However, because the crew had a hidden clue arranged by a well-known host (Wan Qian), Zuo Le went through an ideological struggle and later reluctantly deleted these insignificant scenes.
The relationship between Wang Tianba and Sun Feiyan was based on love and politeness, which was very, very pure.
But even without these intimate scenes, Mao Tong can be regarded as the actor who has the most opposite roles with Zuo Le in the drama. If he performs well, he will slap his face in front of Zuo Le and leave a good impression. Zuo Le may not be able to open up in the future. The new drama will give her a female lead.
However, because Zuo Le was too powerful as a director, and a certain host came to visit the class from time to time on the pretext of visiting his best friend, Mao Tong did not dare to approach Zuo Le easily.
Zuo Le didn't dare to get close to her. The person on the crew who interacted more with her was Shen Teng, who often reviewed scripts together. They were both transparent in the crew, so they naturally hugged each other for warmth.
However, after Shen Teng became popular, hugging each other to keep warm turned into Mao Tong hugging Shen Teng's thigh. The entertainment industry has a clear hierarchy, who is more famous and who is bigger.
"Brother Shen, do you think our drama can be popular?"
While the crew was taking a break, Mao Tong, dressed in heavy makeup and fancy clothes, moved a bench and sat next to Shen Teng.
Shen Teng is reading football news on his mobile phone. It is August now, during the European transfer period. Because the 2019-2020 La Liga championship was won by Real Madrid, major sports media are now rumoring that Messi is preparing to transfer and leave Barcelona.
As a fan, Shen Teng is still very concerned about the fate of this peerless duo in Barcelona.
Hearing Mao Tong's question, Shen Teng raised his head and couldn't help but smile: "You're asking this. You don't know who the director of our crew is. Have you ever seen Director Zuo have any movies that were not popular?"
Mao Tong stuck out her tongue in embarrassment: "I made a mistake. I actually wanted to ask, after this drama is aired, will I be able to become famous with the role of Sun Feiyan?"
"this……"
Shen Teng was stunned by the question and pondered for a moment before replying: "After all, Sun Feiyan is not the heroine. Her role is limited, the setting is average, and she is even a bit unlikable. Whether she is popular or not...it's hard to say."
After seeing what he said, Mao Tong's face instantly turned a little disappointed, and Shen Teng couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, half a month ago, he often struggled with this matter. It was not until "The Story of a College Student" became popular that he successfully became popular. With his own confidence, his expectations for the role of Xiao Wu in "Magic Phone" were not so urgent. .
If I can become popular again, of course I will be happy. If I don’t become popular, I won’t be too disappointed. It will enrich my resume.
However, he obviously couldn't say this to Mao Tong, otherwise it would be a deliberate show off, so he could only persuade Mao Tong to calm down.
Mao Tong was a simple-minded girl, and Shen Teng's few words really helped her a lot. However, after all, she had just suffered a blow, and her expression was still a little bleak.
Shen Teng and Mao Tong often stay together these days and have a good relationship. Now that they see the girl looking confused, they can't help but feel sympathy.
He looked around and whispered: "I often help Director Zuo run errands these days, and I know some inside information. I can't tell you too much, but what I can tell you is... Director Zuo will make big moves next year. .
As far as I know, there are three or four major productions, including "Seven Swords 2" and a TV series with mythological themes, and there are even plans to make a movie.
If you are serious, please go back and ask Director Zuo to sign into Shanhe. There are not many female artists in our company now. Once you join the company, you don’t have to worry about not having the chance to act. Girl, I’ll say this. How to choose depends on you... …”
Having said that, Shen Teng quickly disappeared, leaving Mao Tong looking at Zuo Le, who was bragging and spanking with Hong Tao and others not far away, with a thoughtful look on his face.
