Chapter 44 has gone viral again...
"Great! If Sister Liu has any good news like this, you'd better think of me."
Silence welcomes all.
He knew his own skill level very well.
Even with his skills, he still frequently made mistakes in a short drama, which is the difference between a professional and an amateur.
In particular, he knew that after a skill level of 100 was reached, there were still professional-level skills available.
When Director Liu said that, he just listened to it.
After all, this was just an emergency measure.
With this friendship, I might be able to have more opportunities in the future.
Who doesn't want to act in movies and TV series and become a star?
"That's a sure thing. Don't say you're too busy when we try to schedule a meeting with you in the future," Liu Qing said with a smile.
Her company is currently in its early stages and has a very shallow foundation.
This "shallow" refers not only to her company's works and projects, but also to the people who do them.
This includes actors.
Many film and television companies that pay close attention will find that they often use a group of familiar faces when filming.
Aside from a few aloof, top-tier directors, most film and television companies operate this way.
Simply put, it's easy to use and I feel at ease with it.
Of course, she wouldn't think that Shen Mo was some kind of promising talent, a genius, or a movie star just because he filmed a short drama.
The film and television industry, a place of fame and fortune, is never short of beautiful, handsome, and hardworking talented individuals.
The reason she said this was simply because Shen Mo had indeed helped her out of an emergency, and she owed him a favor.
But don't take this favor too seriously.
If Shen Mo were to take advantage of her favor and ask her for another male lead role, he would be completely out of his mind.
Shen Mo thought about his contract.
The B contract I signed with the company doesn't cover areas like film and music; those are benefits only available under the A contract.
"No problem."
The two spoke sincerely yet politely.
"Okay! You guys take your time eating! I'll go check on the chef's table."
Director Liu left the table, and the atmosphere instantly relaxed.
"Shen Mo, do you have some time lately?"
"What's up?"
Shen Mo glanced sideways at Zhu Manli.
"A friend of mine is visiting Chengdu recently; he might be able to help you try!"
Compared to Liu Qing, Zhu Manli has developed a better relationship with him over the past few days.
"That's great news!"
"If you don't mind the trouble, you can take me with you."
"If this really works out, how will you thank me?" Zhu Manli winked, half-jokingly.
"He's already asking for favors before even helping. That's not a good habit."
Shen Moguang had hitched a ride with the other party several times.
In other words, it's a short drama with a short filming period. If it were one of those big production crews, Shen Mo had no doubt that their relationship might develop into a couple on set.
Of all the countless rumors in the entertainment industry, this is the one he's been most looking forward to.
"Okay! I'll call you then."
Unlike Liu Qing, Zhu Manli genuinely felt that Shen Mo was quite talented and capable of acting.
He only acted in a few scenes with himself, yet he was able to control his facial expressions to this extent.
In addition, given the other party's identity as a streamer, and judging from their momentum, they are also in the rising phase of their career.
In the entertainment industry, building good relationships and having a discerning eye are basic skills.
……
Beijing, Yaohua Entertainment.
Xiao Tanzhi had just finished a debriefing meeting.
As the current top dog at Yew Wah, the entire meeting revolved around one theme: arguing.
The two groups were arguing fiercely about his plans.
He just finished filming a TV series in Hengdian last week.
Ironically, Xiao Tanzhi, who debuted as a singer and dancer, actually became famous for his acting skills.
As he became a sensation, many companies figured out the market trends and launched newcomers with similar characteristics.
In the past two years, his status has visibly declined.
It's just that Yaohua is facing a talent shortage; otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to hold onto his position as the top leader.
"I still insist that Tan Zhi establish his own music studio based on the existing foundation. This is better for both him and the company. As a singer and dancer, fans will have more room for imagination regarding him."
It was his agent, Sister Ruan, who argued forcefully.
"disagree!"
"Given the current market conditions, we need to concentrate our resources to prepare for Tan Zhi's transformation. The reason why her previous two dramas didn't become hits was simply because we didn't invest enough resources and couldn't secure good roles. Take last year's 'Hunter's Picture' for example, such a great role, but we just watched someone else take it."
Both sides have their own version of events, and even Xiao Tanzhi often can't tell who is truly thinking of him.
Or rather, both sides are considering the issue from their own perspective.
Sister Ruan hoped to have more say, and with the support of the music studio, she would be completely tied to her side.
The company wants to maximize his current fan base.
"Tanzhi, what do you think?"
"Tanzhi, tell me your thoughts!"
Suddenly, both of them looked at him in unison.
Xiao Tanzhi was looking down at his phone when he slowly looked up. Without pretending to be a big shot, he took out the video he had just seen.
"Beyond the mountains, there are mountains higher than the mountains, halfway up the mountain..."
Unfamiliar music began to play in the conference room.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
"I'm thinking about whether I should open a Douyin account."
"Recently, I've been looking at Weibo and noticed that the number of interactions is decreasing. Most of them are actually from fan accounts. My Weibo followers have increased very little in the past three months, almost negligible."
"Today's fans are increasingly dissatisfied with the old ways of idol worship; that kind of distant interaction isn't what they want anymore. So why can't I proactively lower my stance and interact with them in a more down-to-earth, relatable way?"
His words immediately sparked a heated discussion between the two groups of people.
These principles seem simple.
But when you're in the clouds for too long, you naturally start to ignore it.
It's not that they don't want to connect with the people, but rather that they've been away from reality for too long, and they've become self-centered from the inside out.
"Recently, dance adaptations of these online songs have become very popular, generating a considerable amount of traffic."
"Sister Ruan, how about I try it too?"
Xiao Tanzhi still respected the agent who had made him famous.
He brought it up at this time partly because of his own selfish motives.
He is open to both acting and music.
But I also know that it's just a bargaining chip in the company's internal power struggle.
Choosing to break the deadlock through dance is twofold: firstly, it requires minimal investment, and secondly, it allows him to gain the upper hand.
Finally, he is very confident in his dancing.
He believes this persona gives him a strong competitive edge in the film and music industries.
"Then let's give it a try..."
……
After finishing the wrap party, Shen Mo resumed his grueling work life.
He went to the company break room and immediately went to sleep.
It was past three o'clock when Bai Zhe came to call him, and he reluctantly opened his eyes.
The entire team was in a state of high excitement after last night's live stream.
Apart from Shen Mo, who has his own short drama project, everyone else basically does solo live streams in the morning.
The probationary period for them is getting shorter and shorter; once the year-end is over, they will have to start fighting.
Taking advantage of the small amount of popularity last night, I'm so eager to skip meals today that I'll be streaming all day long, hoping to catch a few big spenders.
Go to the rehearsal room to practice dancing.
This is a daily routine, part of the job.
A qualified member of a dance group should have at least thirty or forty dances to their name.
New trainees have to learn about ten routines a week, even while still maintaining their livestreaming hours.
Beneath the surface of prosperity, blood, sweat, and oppression are the real foundation.
They practice dancing until 4:30, have a quick meal, and then they have to start putting on makeup and preparing for the evening's live broadcast.
I have just received the notification.
Tonight's live stream will still be outdoors.
Gu Qingqing hasn't shown up yet because she's already at the venue and starting to finalize the details to avoid a repeat of last night's situation.
"It seems like it's not just us tonight; at least four teams from the company have all chosen to do outdoor live streaming," Wang Linkai said, looking displeased.
These bastards, they copied it so fast.
"Does the company have that much equipment?"
The equipment for outdoor live streaming is not much different from that for indoor live streaming, but some lighting and camera angles need to be switched.
"That's simply not enough! Otherwise, why would you think only four teams went out!"
Shen Mo didn't seem to care much.
Outdoor live streaming is nothing unusual; it's just that group live streaming like this is rare.
"Our company alone has four teams, and other companies certainly have them too. With this kind of viewership tonight, it's probably not going to be a good show."
Li Rui's expression did not reveal any seriousness.
This guy gained 20,000 to 30,000 followers in just one morning of live streaming, and he was overjoyed.
"Holy crap! Captain, you're trending again!"
Bai Zhe suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
"What's wrong?"
"Captain, isn't this basic stuff?"
"You're so easily startled; you're too unsteady as the vice-captain."
The group members joked and teased each other.
"real!"
"On Douyin, Xiao Tanzhi covered your song 'Sword Soul' and tagged you."
