Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Time has arrived in April before we know it, and the filming of "Signal" is already halfway through.

The process was very smooth, because the basis for selecting actors for this TV series Nie Wei was to have good acting skills, so capable people worked together, and the filming was enjoyable and smooth, with almost no major obstacles.

During this period, as long as it was weekends, Nie Wei would ask Zhou Duoduo to come to the set to study.

It's a rare opportunity to watch a group of powerful actors perform. Even if you can't participate in person, you will benefit a lot from watching from the sidelines. What's more, Nie Wei explains it to her, which makes Zhou Duoduo really excited about the show recently. Even the teacher in the acting class praised Zhou Duoduo for her great progress.

Other classmates only thought that Zhou Duoduo was talented, after all, there was a precedent of such a genius brother like Nie Wei, but Zhou Duoduo's roommate knew very well that Zhou Duoduo's progress must be because of the time Nie Wei gave her every weekend. The reason why the crew started a small business.

Han Xiaojiao practiced this very hard. She was the first to leave the dormitory and the last to return to the dormitory every day. Everyone knew that she was stimulated by Zhou Duoduo's progress.

Compared with Zhou Duoduo, the only thing she can offer is her talent in acting.

She has always been the first in the class in professional courses. When the teacher praises her, she also praises her professional abilities. But recently, the teacher also started to praise Zhou Duoduo, which made Han Xiaojiao feel a sense of crisis, so He just wanted to work harder and throw Zhou Duoduo away again.

Xiang Yixing didn't even know what to say to Han Xiaojiao like this. Why are you comparing yourself with Zhou Duoduo? The key is that the person concerned doesn't care about you at all. It's really boring to compete with you alone.

Xiang Yixing is different from Han Xiaojiao. She thinks Han Xiaojiao is too stupid. Since everyone knows the reason for Zhou Duoduo's progress, the most convenient and quickest way is to follow Zhou Duoduo to the set.

So Han Xiaojiao privately begged Zhou Duoduo to take her to the set, and Zhou Duoduo agreed after asking Nie Wei.

So on a recent weekend, the crew had a beautiful little girl, and Xiang Yixing was very good at doing things. She didn’t take Zhou Duoduo’s help for granted. She even brought hundreds of cups of coffee with her when she came to the crew. , I heard that it cost more than half a month’s living expenses.

The girl's sensible approach made her popular among the crew.

On the other side, Mao Tongtong also signed a contract with Fanxing Group a week ago and became a member of the newly established film and television department.

She has already read the script of the online drama, which is called "Dear, Beloved". Nie Wei's description at first was not accurate enough. This is a youth idol drama with an e-sports theme, but it is not an ordinary e-sports theme, but Niche topics related to Internet security.

However, the script was very well written, full of youth and passion, and the key point was that there were many sweet and greasy plots that made her curl her fingers up. Reading the script as a novel, she was fascinated by it. If Mao Hui hadn't reminded her, she would have I even forgot to eat dinner.

If you are satisfied with the script and satisfied with the character, all that is left is to prepare.

Mao Hui also joined the Fanxing Group, but no longer served as Mao Tongtong's agent, but she still stayed in Mao Tongtong's team, enjoying the treatment and benefits that a Fanxing employee should have.

She is now in Mao Tongtong's team and is mainly responsible for taking care of Mao Tongtong. Of course, the company has also assigned Mao Tongtong a life assistant, so Mao Hui does not need to really be busy.

Her life suddenly became a lot more leisurely, and she was not used to it for a while, so even if Mao Tongtong's team no longer needed her help, she stayed close to her daughter and ran activities.

When it comes to business activities, Mao Hui is extremely happy.

This is also the reason why she particularly approves of Mao Tongtong joining Fanxing. In just a few days, Mao Tongtong, who originally had no business activities, immediately started to have business.

And he was such a king when he first arrived. When Mao Hui first heard the new manager Gu Jingyu mention it, she even thought that the other party had made a mistake.

Because this endorsement is the brand ambassador of DIOR.

Although DIOR's brand ambassadors are jokingly called "wholesale ambassadors" in the industry, they are blue bloods after all, and they are brand endorsements that Mao Tongtong could not achieve before.

Even if it was only for one quarter, the business cooperation fee was only 500,000, but the title of Dior Ambassador immediately made Mao Tongtong's worth rise several levels.

This change was immediately visible. With the signing of the contract with Dior, in less than a week, two more domestic first-tier brands expressed their intention to cooperate. Every opportunity was something they had never been able to obtain before.

Although the endorsement fees are not high, these endorsements are really not a matter of money. You must know that an obvious net worth depends largely on the level of her endorsements. For example, Mao Tongtong did not have any decent endorsements before, only one beauty She endorses the sub-products of a cosmetics brand, and that cosmetics brand can only be ranked second-tier in China.

There were no endorsements at that time. To put it bluntly, it was because the market did not recognize Mao Tongtong's value and felt that money spent on her would not be earned.

But now that Fanxing has been added, everything has been completely changed. Mao Hui can only marvel that Fanxing is indeed a giant in the industry, with great energy.

After all, although Mao Tongtong has accepted the role of the heroine of the online drama, the TV series has not been filmed yet, so naturally she will not have much influence. Naturally, she can receive these endorsements because of the energy of Fanxing Group. There are so many and big brands under Fanxing Artists who cooperate with brands naturally have countless resources and connections. These resources that she thinks are out of reach are actually not difficult for Fanxing.

This is also the benefit of joining a big company. Although it is limited, the resources are really powerful.

Now Mao Hui keeps talking about Fanxing in Mao Tongtong's ear every day, and always urges her to read the script, saying that she should not let Nie Wei down.

Mao Hui still remembers the words that Nie Wei praised Mao Tongtong for her future achievements at the family dinner. She thinks Nie Wei is optimistic about her daughter, so her daughter must try hard to seize this opportunity and strive to really soar to the sky.

Mao Tongtong reads the script every day, imagining that she will become famous overnight with this role, and she will wake up laughing in her dreams several times.

Another person who wakes up laughing in her dreams is Xiang Yixing.

Ever since Zhou Duoduo agreed to take her to the crew, just once, she felt that she had gained a lot.

With Nie Wei's personal teaching, although she is like an auditor, she can still learn a lot. After all, she and Zhou Duoduo are both rookies and will make many of the same mistakes. When Nie Wei teaches Zhou Duoduo how to correct these mistakes, she can naturally understand.

There are also actors in the crew who occasionally tell Zhou Duoduo some acting tips, and she can naturally follow and "learn from them".

She can also watch the performances of those seniors on the spot. Although she can't say how much she has learned, at least she has a good role model in her heart, so she won't go down the wrong path.

Many Taiwanese idol stars have never been able to pass the acting test because they took the wrong path at the beginning.

They started shooting idol dramas as soon as they debuted, and they only learned how to be cool. If you tell them that their acting should be lifelike, they don't understand at all.

Huang Xiaoming has this problem, because he has shot too many cool roles, and as a result, he can't act normally.

So developing a good habit is really helpful for improving acting skills, and a good role model is naturally the beginning of a good habit.

In addition to improving her own abilities here, Xiang Yixing found that the second treasure is connections.

With the halo of Zhou Duoduo, Xiang Yixing occasionally asks those celebrity actors for advice, and the other party will not refuse. When chatting, everyone asks Zhou Duoduo ten questions, and they will also ask her one or two questions.

Maybe she is not familiar with them yet, but she thinks that as long as she performs well, she will definitely gain a lot of connections in the next few days. Befriending these stars will be of great help to her future debut.

The more Xiang Yixing thought about it, the more she felt that Han Xiaojiao was stupid. She had to compete with such a good opportunity. The key point was that no one competed with her, but she was competing with herself.

Two weeks passed unknowingly. In mid-April, "Gentleman's Dignity" started filming smoothly, and "Lady's Dignity" will start filming in another week.

The two works were completed one after the other, and the time of completion should not be too different. Fanxing is ready to broadcast these two TV series as a series, and the contract has been signed with Mingzhu TV.

The two TV series were packaged together, and the first broadcast rights alone sold 1 billion yuan. The second round of broadcast rights, replay rights, DVD, and network broadcast rights and other rights and interests can at least bring Fanxing more than 1 billion in revenue.

Of course, the TV station is willing to spend this much money, and it is also because of this luxurious star lineup and Nie Wei's screenwriter as a guarantee that they are willing to pay.

This is the importance of word of mouth.

Today's young artists are really paying more and more attention to word of mouth. They will not easily accept works, just because they are afraid that a play will ruin their reputation.

There are many such examples, such as the Hong Kong influence Xiao Wa Ge, because of cooperating with a certain female artist, the result is that the reputation has dropped all the way to the bottom, and he has lost a bright future in the country.

There is also a male artist named Huang, who also cooperated with this female artist, and the result is that the reputation has also dropped all the way to the bottom. Recently, I heard that this male actor has been much more cautious in accepting roles. He no longer only looks at the popularity of the heroine, but also the other party's strength and reputation.

Thinking of this, Nie Wei couldn't help laughing. Unlike Yang Zi, this female actress really failed in every role she played, and she felt like she was cursed.

Because she has led several TV series that have failed in a row, this female actress has not received any film and television resources recently. The producers are not stupid. What's the use of high popularity? It's useless if it can't be exchanged for high ratings.

Of course, this female star has always been very influential in the fashion industry. It doesn't matter if she doesn't shoot movies. She has many big-name endorsements and doesn't worry about income.

Kyoto in mid-to-late April is the most suitable time for the city. The weather is sunny but not too hot. There is a breeze and it's slightly cool, but it won't freeze you. In the afternoon, the sun comes up, accompanied by a gentle breeze, which makes people feel lazy all over their bones and just want to lie down and have a good sleep.

Nie Wei has no time to sleep in because he is the busiest.

The post-production of "Fantastic Beasts 2" is about to be completed and will be scheduled for this year's summer vacation. As a director, Nie Wei must keep an eye on the post-production, and the filming of "The Signal" has also come to an end. Nie Wei must also devote a lot of energy to this crew.

Nie Wei stayed in the "Signal" crew during the day to make the final finishing touches, and at night he went to the post-production of "Fantastic Beasts 2" to give advice. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest.

Busy until early May, "The Signal" was finally finished, and Nie Wei finally had some free time.

Xiang Yixing felt very sorry about this. After the crew finished filming, she would never have the chance to go again, nor would she have the chance to meet those big stars, let alone listen to Nie Wei's teachings.

However, a piece of good news soon dispelled her depression. The new idol sports meeting was about to be held.

This time the venue was in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Xiang Yixing was particularly looking forward to it.

The Idol Games is definitely a very good promotional platform for young artists like them. It is possible that your wonderful performance or even your funny performance will be remembered by the audience, and then you will suddenly become popular.

There is a precedent. In the first Idol Games, there were several young artists who were not very popular, but they were remembered by the audience because of their outstanding performance in the competition.

Xiang Yixing also wants to have such an opportunity.

Zhou Duoduo will also participate in this Idol Games, but this should be her last one. Next, she will get rid of her idol identity and survive in this circle as an actor.

So Zhou Duoduo also attaches great importance to this Idol Games.

Recently, she would grab Xiang Yixing to go out for a morning run every morning, at least ten laps at a time. Xiang Yixing, who ran with Zhou Duoduo for the first time, was so tired that he vomited.

In addition to running, Zhou Duoduo also took Xiang Yixing to the archery hall to learn archery. She plans to sign up for two events in this sports meeting, one is sprinting and the other is archery.

Xiang Yixing is much more passionate about archery than running. This is definitely the most popular event in every idol sports meeting. It is fun and cool.

Almost all the pictures about idol sports meetings discussed by fans online are from archery.

Zhou Duoduo didn't think so much about Xiang Yixing. As a very popular person, she never worried about becoming famous. Since her debut, she has been the focus wherever she goes with the title of Nie Wei's sister.

She chose running because she is good at it. Her long legs are not for nothing.

As for archery, she likes this sport. She feels that archery tests a person's character and is a sport that can especially train a person's will.

So even if it is not for the sports meeting, Zhou Duoduo occasionally comes back to the archery hall to exercise for a while.

On May 5, just after Youth Day, Suzhou and Hangzhou welcomed hundreds of handsome men and beautiful women, and the hotels near the gymnasium were instantly crowded with enthusiastic fans.
