Chapter 59: I want to sign a contract

Throughout the afternoon, in addition to watching Ning Yukun's shooting, Zhou Linlang chatted with Wu Baiyong about the entertainment industry. The two talked and laughed happily, and in the eyes of the rest of the crew, Zhou Linlang had an amazing background, not only had a close relationship with the director, but also knew the producer of White Elephant Entertainment, and such a person was obviously not something they could afford to provoke.

Quietly, the crew spread the legend that there was someone behind Zhou Linlang. The actors and staff of the crew did not dare to bully Zhou Linlang because of her young age, but took care of her in various ways, for fear of offending this "ancestor". Zhou Linlang didn't know about these rumors, Wu Baiyong and Ning Yukun heard it but didn't say anything, they could be regarded as supporting Zhou Linlang by default. In this way, the rumors of the crew intensified.

When Zhou Linlang went home that night, he informed Zhou's father and Zhou's mother of Wu Baiyong's proposal, and said that he had the heart to become an actor in the future.

"Actor? Linlang, why did you suddenly want to be an actor? Isn't it really a whim, like you when you were about to learn to learn barbering?" Zhou's mother doubted.

Zhou Linlang was speechless. When was she going to learn how to barge? At that time, she just wanted to create a hairstyle that was not popular with the public, and she had no intention of becoming a teacher Tony in the future. However, it is useless to explain what his parents believed, and Zhou Linlang could only acquiesce to his "ignorance" back then.

"It's not a sudden whim. Zhou Linlang explained, "A few days ago, I discussed my future plans with Ning Yuan and Zhang Qianqian. After thinking about it a lot, I realized that I still like to be an actor. Maybe it's because of the last time I acted, but I think acting is quite interesting. It was also because of this that I agreed to participate in Uncle Ning's movie. ”

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother looked at Zhou Linlang and didn't speak. For such a thing as being a star, ordinary parents will not be very acceptable, even if the status and income of celebrities are very considerable.

After a long time, Zhou's mother asked, "Do you really like acting?"

"Of course. Zhou Linlang said firmly, "I like acting. I was going to engage in the actor industry in the future, but I didn't think about chasing stars. I am different from Zhang Qianqian. ”

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother remembered Zhou Linlang when she was a child.

When he was a child, Zhou Linlang really liked to imitate, imitating adults to speak, and imitating actors on TV...... Imitate everything. Not to mention, it's quite like that. Later, when he got older and his studies were heavy, Zhou Linlang stopped playing these. However, the last time the Niuzhuang crew came to the restaurant to film, Zhou Linlang became an actor, and he liked it quite (Zhou's father and Zhou's mother completely forgot that they were more excited than Zhou Linlang when they did a group performance). Then, Ning Yukun filmed and asked Zhou Linlang to go, they thought that Zhou Linlang would refuse, but they didn't expect Zhou Linlang to readily agree.

By the way, big directors such as Niu Zhuang and Ning Yukun all said that Zhou Linlang is very talented and a good seedling for acting. Therefore, her daughter really likes acting, and she can also be an actress and become a big star.

The two couldn't help but think of Sister Mi who came to the restaurant to lobby them a few days ago. Although they rejected Sister Mi, Sister Mi's words were kept in their hearts, because Sister Mi's words were not rough. Of course, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother didn't think about relying on their daughter to support themselves, they just knew some of the truth about what Sister Mi said. For example, Zhou Linlang's current grades and the universities he was admitted to are also average. After four years of college, I bothered to get a salary of three or four thousand, and I was still tired and angry. If Zhou Linlang is really talented in acting, he will be at least glamorous as an actor and have a high salary. Even if you can't do it later, you can go home and open a restaurant to eat and drink.

Thinking about it this way, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother suddenly felt that acting was a good career. Of course, it is a legitimate actor, not those inexplicable stars, who have all kinds of scandals and "xx sees" all day long, and it hurts his eyes when he looks at it. If her daughter is this kind of star, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother would rather her study honestly and go home to open a restaurant, which will be embarrassing.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother glanced at each other and made a decision in their hearts.

Father Zhou took the lead and said: "You like acting, and your parents are not old-fashioned, of course they won't blindly oppose it." But are you sure that you want to be an actor in the future? We don't understand the entertainment industry, but we have watched a lot of it in the film and television city, and there is no good stubble in it. If you really want to be out of the woods, the hard work you pay is by no means as simple as outsiders imagine. Moreover, our family has no connections in the entertainment industry, so it can't help you in your acting career, everything depends on you. You can do what you love to do, and your mom and I support you, but you have to be clear that this road is not as easy as you think. ”

"Dad, I know. There is so much news about the entertainment industry on the Internet, I haven't seen anything, and I'm not stupid. I just want to be a good actor, I didn't want to be a high-profile star, and the path taken by those people is different. In fact, there are not so many down-to-earth actors who come to the door, you see that there are not only a few hot searches on the Internet every day, they are all hot searches that they spend money to buy, deliberately stirring up the heat. Of course, there is always competition and intrigue at work, but the same is true for office work. As for my brother's small office of seven or eight people, it was divided into three small groups, and sometimes they were deliberately framed. As long as there are interests, there will be competition, and there will be people who want to take shortcuts, and it is the same everywhere. Zhou Linlang said calmly.

Zhou Linlang has long appreciated the essence of society in his previous life. Where there are people, there is strife, and the greater the interests, the more fierce the fighting, and the law of the jungle is the essence of society, and it cannot be avoided at all. Zhou Linlang understands better than the Zhou family and his wife, or in other words, the Zhou family and his wife, who have been the owners of Wu County restaurants, are not as dark as Zhou Linlang has seen.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother could feel the resoluteness in Zhou Linlang's words. They understand that their daughter has really grown up and has their own clear plans for their future. As an enlightened parent, the only thing they can do now is to respect Zhou Linlang's decision, stand behind her forever, and be her strong backing.

"Now that you've made your decision, we're not against it. However, we have a requirement, you must be admitted to university, and you can't drop out of school to become an actor like some people. Who is still graduating from high school now, it is hard to hear when you talk about it. Father Zhou said.

"Yes. I mean the same thing as your dad, I can't drop out of school. Look at what is said on TV, what kind of actor is illiterate, what star is of low quality, it is uncomfortable to listen to. Zhou's mother also said, "Hey, in fact, you should have said this earlier." Earlier, you will take the art exam with your friend, and then take the acting college. In the future, it sounds like at least a graduate of a class, not a halfway monk. I heard that those who graduate from a college class have a better status than those who are halfway home. ”

Zhou Linlang was not surprised that they would agree with their decision. Since childhood, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother have been very open-minded in educating her and her brother, and they can agree that Zhou Jinyu will give up the good job arranged by her second aunt and go to the magic capital alone, and of course they can also agree to their future plans.

"Dad, Mom. Don't worry, how could I drop out of school, I also made a bet with Ning Yuan to be admitted to a good university, so that Ning Yuan would be impressed by me. Zhou Linlang said, "As for the acting school. Although there are some regrets, I don't regret it either. In fact, I also thought about taking the entrance examination to other comprehensive universities, but when the time comes, I can't be an actor, and I can change careers. A diploma from a comprehensive university is much easier than a diploma from an art college in terms of finding a job. ”

Zhou Linlang just felt that the acting class of undergraduates was not necessarily suitable for her, and she was also worried that if she went to school, those old foxes would see that she was not the original flaw. Of course, these can't be said to her parents, but her words of "if you can't do it, you can change careers in the future" won the appreciation of Zhou's father and Zhou's mother. In the eyes of Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, only by planning for everything can there be a way out.

"That's right. After learning acting, it is estimated that you can only do acting, but after learning other majors, you will not only be able to be an actor, and if the actor is not good, you will also be able to find a job in a related profession, and there will be no delay on both sides. Zhou's mother nodded, agreeing with Zhou Linlang's point of view, and said, "By the way, do you want to find an agent when you enter the entertainment industry?" By the way, last time, a woman who claimed to be an agent came to us, surnamed Mi, should we contact her. ”

Zhou's mother told Zhou Linlang about Sister Mi coming to find someone. They didn't know much about Sister Mi, so they could only repeat Sister Mi's self-introduction at that time, and at most add Sister Mi's business card.

The Zhou family and his wife don't understand, and Zhou Linlang also doesn't know much about today's entertainment industry. However, in Zhou Linlang's view, it is still necessary to find a brokerage company. Although the brokerage company may have various drawbacks, it is good to enjoy the shade with your back to a big tree. There is no shortage of resources for a good brokerage company to sign up, and you can also hold a group in the circle, and if something really happens, there will be a professional team of the company to deal with it, which is much better than fighting alone. If you are valued by a powerful brokerage company, you can get more unexpected benefits.

"I'm in Uncle Ning's crew today, and there is also someone who talks to me and wants to sign a contract with me. That person is the producer of Uncle Ning's crew, named Wu Baiyong, who claims to be the director of the artist department of White Elephant Entertainment. I didn't talk to him too much, I just said that I would come back and discuss it with you. ”

"This ......"

There are two choices at once, one for Sister Mi and one for Wu Baiyong, plus the phone call they received a few days ago, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother understand that his daughter should be really good, otherwise there would not be so many people who came to the door to say those words to them, and they bothered to sign Zhou Linlang. But it's also troublesome to choose too much, because I don't know which one to choose. The most worrying thing is that the wrong choice will harm Zhou Linlang for the rest of his life.

"Why don't we inquire first?" Zhou's mother said to Zhou's father, "Don't you know a lot of people from the crew?" Although they are all behind-the-scenes workers, they all say that these people know the most about things in the entertainment industry, and they must know which brokerage company is better. It has been said on the Internet that those revelations were all done by the workers behind the crew, they know the most things, and even the paparazzi are not as good as them. You can also ask Niu Dao and Ning Dao to inquire about the situation. ”
