Chapter 33 The entertainment industry is a battlefield where you will retreat if you don’t fight, the war is far from over (1)
Zhuo Hao's words came true, and the box office of "I'll Wait for You, Let's Watch the Flowers Bloom" hit 1400 million on its premiere day.The box office exceeded 10 million in five days, 2 million in 3 days, and finally ended perfectly with 6 million at the box office.

I'm red, completely.

Boasts and compliments flooded me like a flood. The reporter’s interview appointment was scheduled for two full months, and various product endorsements were also placed on the table for me to choose from.My Weibo fans have soared from the original 10,000+ to more than 800 million in the past half a month. As long as I post a Weibo, even if it’s just a photo of my feet, there are countless comments and countless @ Compliments wildly that my feet are white and tender, and the color of the nail polish is fashionable and textured.

Ah Mo was so happy that he was almost dumbfounded, he kept shaking his head and sighed: "Xia Wei, what does it mean to become famous overnight, this is what it means to become famous overnight!" Ah Mo had a first taste of being an agent of a big star, and he couldn't be happier.

I lay on the sofa with my feet up, watching "Detective Conan" and eating the oranges peeled by Ah Mo's kindness, and I felt in a good mood.Although after Zhou Tingting's incident, I have already recognized the darkness and inhumanity of this circle, but it always feels good to be famous, and it always feels good to be worshiped like a god.

There is a saying that when you are frustrated in love, you are proud in the workplace. This sentence has been confirmed by me naked and bloody.

"Hey, I'm so busy and crazy! I almost forgot the movie celebration banquet next week." Ah Mo patted his head, quickly picked up a pen and wrote down a note seriously in the notepad.His wife gave birth to two babies, and his family couldn't take care of them. Now that my notices are increasing rapidly, he is worried that I have to follow.Fortunately, the company gave him a full five times salary increase, and he spent a lot of money to hire a nanny who was said to be expensive.

The murderer in the movie was once again exposed under Conan's reasoning, and found that he had killed his beloved because of a misunderstanding. He knelt down on the ground in despair and remorse. I stuffed an orange in my mouth and said: "Mo, I want to ask for a day off tomorrow."

Ah Mo buried his head in his notepad and didn't look up: "Why are you going? You're a big star now, don't wander around and save yourself trouble being photographed by reporters."

I said, "I want to go home."

My home is in the countryside, a place away from the bustling city.Mo personally drove me here. After driving for more than 3 hours, I turned into a country road. "Why is your house in such a place where birds don't shit?" Mo muttered, "The road is too narrow!" I smiled and didn't speak, just looking at the familiar scenery outside the window.

How long has it been since you came back?It has been more than a year since I decided to sign a contract with China Entertainment and quarreled with my mother.The last time I left was early autumn, and there were unharvested rice fields on both sides of the road. Now that it is winter, the scenery in front of me is bleak.At that time, I left with an all-or-nothing mentality. Although I didn't realize that what was waiting for me was a hellish place, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but now my mood is very different when I come back.

When the car drove into the village, it caused quite a commotion.This is a village that is almost isolated from the rest of the world, and strangers rarely come here, not to mention that Ah Mo's new car is still bright red, just like himself.Ah Mo was very worried, saying that it would be troublesome if someone took pictures and posted them on the Internet, and the company would definitely blame him, after all, the company is not yet ready to release my family background.I smiled and reassured him that he would not. All the young people in the village have gone out to work or go to school, and few of the old people and children left behind can use computers.

The car stopped in front of the house. I looked at the familiar yard and took a deep breath before I dared to get out of the car. "Ouch! Isn't that Awei?" Aunt Zhang next door yelled at me as soon as she saw me, "Hui Ping, your big star is back, come out and see! Er Bao, San Bao, come and see yours!" Sister Weiwei is back!"

Aunt Zhang's two children flew out like two swallows. Seeing that I was so excited, they rushed over and hugged my thighs one by one: "Sister Weiwei, sister Weiwei, I saw you on TV, you It’s so beautiful!” I was amused by the two of them, and I quickly took out the snacks I bought for them from my bag, the two little guys immediately forgot about me when they saw the delicious food, and rushed back to the house went.

"Oh, why do you buy so much food for the children!" Aunt Zhang complained with a smile.

"Aunt Zhang, these are for you. There is also this money. Thank you for taking care of my mother during this time." I stuffed the presents and red envelopes into Aunt Zhang's hands, but Aunt Zhang repeatedly declined, "Hey, you child, Everyone is a neighbor and should take care of each other... Hey, okay, now that you have money, I will have the cheek to accept it. Go and see your mother!"

I nodded and walked towards my yard. "I'll wait for you outside." Mo looked inside and said.

I opened the door, and my mother was sitting at the dining table, with half-eaten rice in front of me, a plate of fried vegetables with minced meat, and a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup.Seeing me come in, there was no fluctuation in the expression on her face, and her eyes were cold.My nose was sore all of a sudden, I took out the packed cold dishes from the bag, put them on a plate from the cupboard, and brought them to the dining table.

"You go out." Mother said coldly.

"Mom!" I whispered.I haven't seen my mother for more than a year. She seems to have aged a lot, and her eyes have dimmed a lot.I was very sad.

The mother's temper is still stubborn: "I'm not your mother! I said a long time ago, if you want to enter that messy entertainment circle, don't recognize me as a mother! In the future, whether you succeed or fail, whether you eat abalone, shark's fin or pickled vegetable steamed buns, you will follow me." It doesn't matter." She said coldly and unfeelingly, but I could still hear a little trembling from those cold words.I was very sad.

"Mom, you can eat first." I put a piece of silk-wrapped elbow in my mother's bowl, but before I put down the chopsticks, my mother dropped the rice bowl to the ground with a "bang". "Who wants to eat what you bought with your dirty money!"

The laughter of the second treasure and the third treasure outside the house suddenly disappeared, and my tears burst out: "Mom, what are you doing! What dirty money, this is my own hard-earned money!"

"You still don't know what's wrong!" "I just want to make money, I'm not wrong." I was extremely wronged. "If you want to make money, why can't you earn solid money? Do you have to use your body to be abused in such a dirty place?" My mother asked, "Why isn't that solid money? That's what I worked hard for filming. How come the money you earn isn’t solid money? I didn’t spoil my body, I said I wouldn’t do it!” “I just don’t like you doing such a ostentatious job!” Mother lowered her voice and roared, her face pale. It's flushed red.

These words hit me like an arrow, and I jumped up: "Why can't we show off? Why do we have to take his feelings into account? I just want to show off and I want to be popular enough to let him see me and let him know that I am The abandoned daughter is living very well now, and everyone is watching the stars. I want to be so popular that he can see me everywhere. I want to pierce his conscience all the time like a needle. I want him to see I'm ashamed of what I've done!"

"Enough!" My mother was trembling with anger, she raised her hand and slapped me on the face. "I said don't mention him again." There was a burning pain on my face, and I suddenly remembered that at that time, my father proposed to divorce my mother. When I cried and scolded him for beating him, my father also raised his hand to me. A slap, that hot feeling, exactly the same as now, after so many years, I can never forget it.

"Mom, don't you hate him?" I asked, as I've done a thousand times before.

"What's the use of hating? If hate can bring back my happiness, my marriage, and my love, I am willing to hate. But I know that is impossible. If this is the case, why should I hate? It will only make myself It's just a hard life. It's been so many years, can't I still not see clearly?" Mother replied, as she had answered thousands of times in the past.In the past at this time, I would be silent, I could only choose to be silent, but this time, I don't want to be silent.

"But I hate him. Didn't he abandon our mother and daughter just for money? Isn't it just for a few stinky money? Then I will go to earn money. I earn a lot of money, so much that I can throw it in his face Laughing at him for picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon, he abandoned a big treasury!" This is my dream all the time, the biggest dream since he abandoned our mother and daughter.

Mother was silent for a long time.That half day was like half a lifetime.After a long time, she asked softly: "Then you will be happy?"

"Yes!" I nodded without hesitation.The mother smiled wryly, and slowly wiped away the tears on her face: "Then you go earn money and throw it in his face. I don't want to see it." She stood up, walked back to the room slowly, and closed the door. the door.There is a letter of blessing on the door, which I pasted by myself during the Chinese New Year the year before last. There is a nail on the wall next to the door. There used to be a group photo of our family of three hanging there. In the photo, father, mother, me, three people They all laughed so happily.

I sat alone for a while, then slowly took out a card from my bag and put it on the table: "There is 10 yuan in it, go buy some food and clothes, and change some new furniture. I only have so much now." , When I earn more money, I will buy a house in the city, and then you and I will move to the city to live together." The mother in the room did not answer, I was speechless, and stood up silently.

Pushing open the door, Ah Mo stood waiting for me under the grape arbor in the yard.

On the way back, Mo didn't speak, and he didn't complain about the narrow road.He remained silent until he sent me downstairs to the apartment, and then suddenly said: "Xia Wei, don't worry, I will not force you to earn dirty money. I will manage your image as a beautiful girl and will not let you It's hard to do in front of your mother!"

I was stunned, and suddenly felt that Ah Mo was actually very cute, probably after being promoted to become a father, he naturally exuded a kind of loving father, so I pursed my lips and nodded seriously.

"I just received the news from the company that you have been shortlisted for the Best Newcomer and Best Actress of this year's Golden Bell Awards. Although there should be no hope for the Best Actress, the Best Newcomer should be a certainty." There was an undisguised excitement on Ah Mo's face, and my mood also became excited: "Really? If I can win the best newcomer this time, it will really be a hit."

Ah Mo nodded: "Yes! Your worth will probably reach this amount by then." He stretched out his hand and compared one five and one seven. 500. The salary of 500 million is simply astronomical for a newcomer who has just starred in a literary film.I took a deep breath and adjusted my emotions to the best. I know that the entertainment industry is a battlefield where there is no fight or retreat, and the war is far from over.

The super high box office and super high praise of "I'm Waiting for You, Come and See the Blossoms" set off a wave of heat in this cold season, and it is said that even the tourist routes to Shangri-La became popular.This movie is the first movie that Zhuo Hao Company invested in in the showbiz, and it can be regarded as a good start. Therefore, when the celebration banquet was held, the investor spared no expense and chose the Bauhinia Hall of Guanghua Hotel.

China Entertainment also spared no expense in the cost of my outfits. Not only did they invite the most famous Mr. Kevin in the industry to do makeup around the clock, they also contacted major brands of clothes for me to choose from. Ah Mo said that The treatment can be regarded as second-tier or even quasi-first-tier. "Zhou Tingting is treated like this." Ah Mo smiled, and felt unlucky after she finished speaking, and quickly poohed a few times: "Do you want to compare with her or not?"

I don't mind it in my heart, but when I think of Zhou Tingting I met in the hospital that day, I don't want to compare my current success with her downfall, making me seem like a villain.

Anyway, I am very excited to have such a grand treatment.When I used to watch movies, I often saw that when the celebrities in the film were picking clothes, they were pushed by designers with a few carts filled with all kinds of beautiful clothes for you to choose. I always imagined that if one day I could With this kind of treatment, I will definitely die of beauty. I didn't expect that my dream would come true so soon.

In the end, I chose a white evening dress with a collar. Ah Mo laughed at me and said that the shadow of the last time would probably make me never wear a tube top dress again in my life.

"That's right." Mo suddenly said while I was putting on makeup, "The Zhen Shan Association approached me this morning and said they wanted you to be their image spokesperson for the 'Sanae Project'."

"Sanmiao Project? Is it the charity project that subsidizes compulsory education for poor children in mountainous areas?" I have heard of this project. The previous spokesperson seems to be Ai Jia, a sister of Tianlan Media. Recently, Ai Jia's contract expired. Will intentionally renew the contract with Ai Jia, but I didn't expect it to be fake news.

The job of this spokesperson is nothing more than attending the various fundraising activities of the Truth Charity Association. For an artist, it is an opportunity to save trouble and create a good image. Of course, I have no reason to refuse. "Okay, it's a good thing to do something for poor children."

Ah Mo nodded: "Yeah, you can do good deeds and help you shape your image. Maybe now Tianlan Media hates you even more. But in the future, as long as you have less contact with people there, you'll be fine. Movies anyway. After the publicity is over, you and Lu Qi are back on the road." He patted me on the shoulder, "You don't have to worry about other things, as long as you show your best self in front of the media, and this time the media will focus on It should be on Lu Qi and Ye Fei."

Since it was a movie celebration, of course Lu Qi, Ye Fei and Xu Jingying would all be there.This is probably the first time Lu Qiyefei and I met after the premiere of the film. Although there are usually examples of cooperating actors and actresses reuniting for certain brands, the two companies had a lot of trouble because of the secret filming. Unhappy, although CEY suspects that Tianlan intends to frame her without any proof, the relationship has been settled, so there is no cooperation.

But this time there was another piece of news about Lu Qi: he and Ye Fei had a public relationship.

To my surprise, Lu Qi and Ye Fei's public relationship didn't cause fans to backlash as usual.Ah Mo analyzed it and said that it was due to the good planning and public relations of Tianlan Media.Although Tianlan Media is also well-known nowadays, it is still far behind China Entertainment. China Entertainment has a ticket for the first-tier and second-tier, and the movie advertisements are soft, but Tianlan has youth idols in his hands. Make some idol dramas.Their biggest name, Lu Qi, is at best a third-tier player in China Entertainment.

Therefore, the publicity and packaging route taken by Tianlan Media is a big family style.Ye Fei has always been Lu Qi's junior sister and played the role of the little sister in various TV dramas starring Lu Qi. Although there is no representative work, she has gradually accumulated a lot of popularity. Sky Blue Media What I have always been good at is to create all kinds of brotherly love and sisterly love among the actors under my banner. The actors often interact with each other on Weibo to show off their cuteness.

In fact, before Lu Qi and Ye Fei publicly communicated, there was a small genre of fans of the two, YY and the two of them were together, and they wrote all kinds of fanfiction that made people feel goosebumps. Love is very attractive both in Jin Yong's novels and in reality.So once this matter was made public, it didn't cause much impact. Although many fans of Lu Qi also expressed protest, at least their attitude was not so tough. Coupled with those small fans and Tianlan's public relations, the matter would not be resolved in the end. It's over.

The first thing I thought of when I heard about this was Qian Duoduo.

I haven't seen Qian Duoduo for a long time. Although her house is still opposite mine, and although I can occasionally see the lights on in the opposite room, the two of us have never met.Lu Qi said that Qian Duoduo refused to break up with him, that she threatened him again and again to announce the relationship between the two of them to death, why is it so peaceful now?
However, Lu Qi and Ye Fei's announcement made me want to understand some things. Why was such a scene secretly photographed in Shangri-La at that time? Isn't it because Ye Fei asked Lu Qi to help me untie the necklace? Later, I was upset A man ran to turn the prayer wheel to relax and met Lu Qi, moved by his confession, the two went back to the inn side by side, but were caught by Qian Duoduo, not because of what Ye Fei said about My gossip?
It turns out that what Ah Mo said was right, all of this was premeditated, and it was premeditated from the very beginning of Ye Fei's friendship with me.This circle is really scary. I originally thought that Ye Fei and I belonged to two brokerage companies, and there would be no hostile relationship like that with Xu Jingying. Thinking about it, I was really naive.

This is really a bit like ancient palace fighting literature. The entertainment industry is the harem, and I am the lucky one who just broke away from the status of the lower class and promised to be a young master, and was suddenly promoted to concubine. It couldn't be more normal, and now I don't know how many people are staring at me openly and secretly, trying to pull me off the horse.

I must be ready to fight.I took a deep breath, clenched my fist, and a small flame ignited behind me.

"It's almost time, let's go." Mo pushed me.

The celebration banquet was held in the largest Bauhinia Hall of Guanghua Hotel. First there was a press conference and then a dinner party. It was held in a grand manner. A red carpet was laid in front of the Bauhinia Hall. I wish the crew would be shortlisted for the Golden Bell Awards and walk the red carpet.There were a lot of reporters present, and there were also a lot of fans. Rows of security guards blocked those fans on both sides of the red carpet. I walked under the lights and shouting, and I really felt like I became a superstar all of a sudden.
