I, the traveler, will guide me directly in the Mi Universe.

Then, Ying spoke: "The crew of "Honkai Academy" is still missing a performance director assistant. If you take up this position, it will be my punishment for you."

"Acting Assistant? What do you do?"

Alicia knows that performance directing, as the name suggests, is a job that guides actors in their performances. To a certain extent, the positioning overlaps with that of directing.

However, in the "Honkai Academy" crew, Ying did not set up a separate performance director position, but held this position concurrently when directing the show.

This is not something that Ying did in order to save limited funds during the preparations. It was purely because she felt that even if she hired the best performance director in the industry, if the final effect was not in line with what she had imagined, it would be in vain. .

In this world, no one knows better than her how each character in "Honkai Academy" should be presented. In this case, why should she add such a position to add constraints to her when the web series starts filming? , lowering the shooting efficiency?

Yes, although Ying is not a tyrant on the set and never uses roars to establish her authority on the set, she does hold the most important powers in the crew firmly in her hands.

For example, she is the director, she is the screenwriter, and she is also the acting director.

In addition to the producers and supervisors, Ying holds all the most important power in the crew. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a dictator on the set.

This is why Alicia, a layman, after watching a day of filming today, found that everything in the entire crew seemed so orderly, and there were no disputes at all.

The positions most likely to cause disputes are held by one person, so how can disputes arise?

Could it be that the director, screenwriter and acting director got into a fight because of their different ideas?

What a large-scale fine division site!

Going back to the question itself, after adding the word 'assistant' to a familiar word, Alicia, a layman, was obviously a little confused.

"It's a position where you come out to play with me when necessary, give demonstrations to the actors, and help them quickly master the essentials of filming."

Ying explained.

Chapter 44 Alicia’s plans for the future

"But, I can't act!"

Alicia made her debut as an idol, so she can sing and dance easily. If she appeared in a variety show, she could also make jokes, but she has never dabbled in filming.

In fact, after signing a contract, many idols will be arranged by the company to take acting classes, teach them some quick tricks, and then arrange for them to film various TV series, web series, and even movies to make money from fans. This is a normal business in the industry. model.

It's not shabby to earn money.

But Alicia always felt that this was not sincere enough.

On stage, she always presents her true self to the audience. She does not want to treat her works and fans who like her with a perfunctory attitude.

Just like when she accepts an endorsement, whether it is for food, clothing or use, she will understand the background of the product before accepting it. She will only accept it after using it herself and feeling that the effect is good.

Because, in Alicia's view, celebrity endorsement can actually be equivalent to bringing goods to the celebrity, or in other words, making the celebrity benefit.

If celebrities themselves don’t understand or have used the products they endorse, wouldn’t it be false advertising?

Falseness and hypocrisy can be said to be words that will always be blacklisted in Alicia's dictionary. She does not like to associate with such people, and will not allow such words to be labeled on herself. .

"Isn't there me here?"

Ying pointed at herself, and then said seductively: "Also, Ai Li, your appearance is so perfect, don't you really want to leave your classic image on the screen? You can't trust the acting teacher arranged by the company, don't you? Still can’t trust me?”

To be honest, Alicia was excited at the moment.

She really doesn't care much about whether she will film across borders in the future, but she actually wants to leave a classic image on the screen.

It doesn’t mean that as an idol, as a singer, or as a variety show host, you can’t keep these things.

But these are different from film and television images.

"Ying, you know, after I finished recording the variety show "Youth Camp", I originally planned to apply for the adult film and television class of your film school to further my studies. I have a wish, that is, before I am 30 years old, I will show off the most beautiful The years are frozen and preserved through the image on the screen. At that time, my contract with Tianming Culture Media also expired, and the company would no longer be a hindrance to my progress. I even turned down the job before because of this. received a variety show invitation from Eden Studio.”

Alicia did not forget to dig a hole for Ying at this moment.

After she mentioned this now, when Ying receives a variety show invitation from Golden Garden Studio, she will no longer associate this matter with her. It is simply perfect!

"Then doesn't my punishment coincide with your plans for the future?"

Ying's tone was calm, but in fact, she was still very surprised.

I'm not surprised by Alicia's plans for the future, but I'm surprised that Alicia, a national idol, actually decided not to renew her contract with Destiny Culture Media after her contract expired.

$

Everyone can imagine how big a commotion this news will cause in the industry once it is exposed. Compared with it, the previous scandals are simply trivial.

Because everyone can see that Alicia is a cash cow. Once her contract with Tianming Culture Media is not renewed, the entertainment industry capital will swarm in like sharks smelling blood, and they will not hesitate to spend sky-high signing fees. , and basically signing top-level contracts at a loss to make money.

Because when an artist has reached the level of Alicia, it no longer matters whether she can make money from her. Any company involved in artist management, as long as it can sign Alicia, it will be a golden brand that will have a steady flow of money. High-quality new people are constantly coming here, and high-quality resources come to our door on their own initiative.

Everyone would think that if Alicia signed a contract with this company, then this company must not be bad.

And all of this has been verified by the market.

Destiny Culture Media is backed by Destiny Group, so it naturally has strong capital. However, when it first entered the entertainment industry, it can be said that it was very poor in all aspects. It was really so poor that only money was left.

Whether you need resources or not, whether you need connections or connections, everything has to be built from scratch.

However, at this time, Alicia, the idol trainee launched by the company, made her debut on a variety show and became an instant hit. It took another year to secure the title of national idol until today.

By the way, the mentor of that variety show at that time was Eden, and Alicia was the person he met at that time.

With the chain reaction brought by Alicia, countless high-quality trainees have chosen to sign contracts with Tianming Culture Media, and countless high-quality resources have also extended olive branches to the company, accumulating deep connections for them.

Therefore, for the past five years, other companies can only pick up the leftovers that Tianming Culture Media Company does not want, which is very miserable.

Today's Tianming Culture Media Company has become the latest to enter China, but the most prestigious one. It is not an exaggeration to call it the leader and benchmark in the artist management industry.

All of this can be said to have been brought about by Alicia.

Since Alicia can create a Tianming Culture Media Company, why can’t she create a second one?

Of course, we don’t have the unique conditions of Tianming Culture Media and Tianming Group, so we don’t expect to be able to lead the industry, but it’s not too much to raise our status by several positions, right?

However, even for a being like Alicia, whatever she wants to do, she will encounter resistance from all sides.

Tianming Culture Media can tolerate Alicia not taking the acting classes arranged for her within the company, not getting involved in the film and television field, and focusing on her idol career and variety show career, but it is absolutely impossible to allow Alicia to abandon all work and go to film school. Advanced classes for adults.

Whether you have money or not is not a problem. The most important thing is that not appearing in public for a long time will lead to a significant decline in popularity.

Today's mobile Internet era is also an impetuous era in which fast-moving goods flood all fields. Even though Alicia has a national level that other idols cannot match, and can be said to kill all men, women, old and young, Tianming Culture Media cannot guarantee that in this traffic The entertainment industry is constantly changing, and if Alicia disappears for a year or two or even longer to study, will she become a passerby without any commercial value when she comes back?

This logic also exists in any other company with economic business, even the Golden Garden Studio established by Eden.

Therefore, as long as Alicia insists on going to school, it will be impossible for her to renew her contract with any company or studio after her contract expires.

Chapter 45 Alicia definitely did this on purpose!

Of course, when Alicia reaches this level, she can set up her own studio on her own.

But, Alicia felt that she might not be able to balance her studies with the business operations of the studio.

After all, she doesn't have outstanding talents in business, so she can't support a studio comparable to a medium-sized company like Eden.

"It seems...right?"

Alicia blinked, this punishment was indeed closely related to her future plans.

Even Alicia can imagine that working as a performance guidance assistant on the film crew for two months will definitely give her a very deep understanding of acting. When the time comes, she will go to the adult class of the film school to study. I am afraid it will cost a lot of money. The time will be much less than expected.

Thinking of this, Alicia couldn't help but feel excited.

Anyway, she really doesn't plan to continue the recording of "Youth Camp", even if she adds money!

"However, before that, I have one more thing that I must do. After completing it, I can join the group as a performance director's assistant."

Alicia thought for a while and said so.

"what's up?"

Ying was a little curious.

"This is what Pella asked me to do before! About Siluwa. Tomorrow I plan to discuss the termination of the contract with the producer of "Youth Camp", and also fulfill my promise to Pella~?"

Alicia explained.

%

"Sylva..."

Ying was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded, agreeing that Alicia should resolve the matter first before joining the group.

"Okay, it's getting late. Ai Li, go wash up quickly and then rest. It's time for me to sleep too!"

After saying that, Ying ran to the bed first and slept peacefully on the left side of the bed.

If it were before, when she was sleeping, she would remove one of the two pillows placed for aesthetic reasons during the day, and place the one she wanted to sleep on directly in the middle, so that she could enjoy this huge bed to herself.

However, now Ying did not fall asleep directly on the sofa like last night, nor did she occupy the center of the bed as usual. Instead, she slept peacefully in it as she did when she woke up this morning. On one side, the meaning is already obvious.

It was someone who, I don't know whether it was because of shyness or something else, immediately after lying on the bed, the air conditioner was used to cover his head, making him look like an ostrich.

Alicia found it very funny when she saw this, but she did not immediately step forward to tease him.

If you haven't taken a shower yet, it's better not to go to bed.

Thinking of this, Alicia turned around and walked to the closet, opened the side that belonged to her, took out a change of clothes, and headed towards the bathroom.

Half an hour later, when Alicia wiped her hair and walked out of the bathroom, Alicia discovered that the hair dryer she didn't look for yesterday was placed directly on the bedside table today.

Obviously when she went in to take a shower, there was nothing here.

Looking at the bedside table, she still saw the same quilt covering her head as before she entered the bathroom. She chuckled and felt more and more that this new kid she met was really cute~?

Picking up the hair dryer, knowing that Ying was not asleep, she was not afraid of disturbing him, so she plugged it in and started using it.

At the same time, considering that it should end as soon as possible so that Ying could have a peaceful sleep environment earlier, she directly turned on the highest setting. Although this would damage the hair quality, it would dry it quickly.

Alicia pays great attention to the maintenance of her hair and skin. At this moment, she can only comfort herself in her heart. If it is just once, it is nothing. At most, she will do more hair maintenance in the future.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly discovered that the hair dryer in her hand was no longer blowing out the fast hot air.

Turning around, she found that the guy who was supposed to be wearing a quilt and pretending to be an ostrich had unplugged the hair dryer and was looking at her with an unkind expression.

"Did I disturb you enough to take a rest? Then I'll be a guest..."

Before the word "hall" could be spoken, Alicia's words were interrupted.

"It's not that you're disturbing me, but you're hurting your hair by blow-drying it like this, you know?"

Ying looked at Alicia with a slight dissatisfaction. She didn't know that the other person usually didn't turn the hair dryer to the highest setting, and just thought it was her habit.

At this moment, Ying couldn't care less about being shy or pretending to be asleep. She really couldn't bear to see an existence like a work of art that had flaws because of this kind of thing.

So, Ying got up from the bed angrily, walked to Alicia, stretched out her hand, and looked at her.

Alicia immediately understood what Ying meant, hesitated for a moment, and handed the hair dryer to the other party.

She did not explain. At this moment, Alicia just accepted Ying's view, making the other party mistakenly think that she didn't know or didn't care about this matter, and her life was a little rough.

After all, Alicia can tease Ying unscrupulously by saying, "The food I made is filled with my love for you that can't be expressed anywhere~", but she will not use this matter to tease him.

Because even she would be shy if she said such words!

At this moment, the only thing Alicia was thinking about was—yesterday I used a towel to dry my hair, and today she used a hair dryer to dry my hair. This can be considered a coming and going~?

Then - I am living in your home during this period, and there is nothing wrong with inviting her to live in my home after a while, right?

Ying took the hair dryer and plugged it in again, then adjusted the setting to the lowest setting of hot air. Ying tried it with the palm of her hand and found that the mild hot air was like the natural wind in summer, which was perfect for drying her hair. Silk.

3cm is not very tall, but it is even shorter!

0cm, 3cm shorter than Alicia.

Don't underestimate these 3cm. At least at this moment, if you want to blow dry Alicia's hair, this height difference will be enough to make it difficult for her to move.

Alicia heard that the hair dryer had been turned on, but there was no movement for a while, so she turned back and looked at it, and instantly understood from the troubled look on the other party's face.

She didn't say "let me do it by myself", something like that, but walked to the end of the bed, sat down directly, and then signaled with her eyes that she could start now.

Thanks to Alicia for being such a considerate person...ah!

Ying looked at the person sitting at the end of the bed with an innocent look on his face with a red face, then resignedly climbed onto the bed from the side, knelt upright on the bed, and began to blow dry Alicia's hair, thinking to himself: Alicia definitely did this on purpose! !

Chapter Trance Ying

While helping Alicia blow dry her hair, Ying couldn't help but her thoughts began to wander.

As a "grandpa" who is famous for his "shaving", although Ying has not yet shown his "shaving" side due to the huge debt pressure, but is focused on his career, he will not be shy because of small scenes.
