Chapter 1: A New World
"The winner of the 46th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor is..."
"Xu Xian, the Red List..."
In the Grand Theater, cheers and screams came and went.
On the big screen, the winners froze, and in a congratulatory voice, Xu Xian smiled.
After ten years in the industry, he finally became an actor, with glory and thunderous applause.
He was relieved and stood up, but the next moment, his eyes were dark, and he instantly felt a whirlwind of the world.
In an exclamation, Xu Xian fell down in astonishment.
At that moment, he looked at the sky above the Grand Theater and seemed to see a sea of stars.
Countless familiar and unfamiliar figures appeared in front of my eyes.
The starry sky in the distance is exceptionally bright.
Gradually, consciousness faded, darkness gathered, and time and space shifted in a flash.
"I'm special... I haven't touched the trophy yet......"
......
......
In a daze, someone was talking.
β...... In fact, the registration is closed..."
β... If it weren't for Assistant Jiang's strong recommendation, you wouldn't have had a chance to come to the interview today......"
What do you mean?
Sign up for an interview?
In the whirlwind of the world, a huge sense of weightlessness came, Xu Xian tried to open his teeth and claws, trying to grasp something, but everything was empty.
Is it a delusion?
He desperately wanted to calm down and assess the situation.
But there was a blur in front of him, only the sound of a violent heartbeat in his ears, like a thunderous roar, which shook his mind in turmoil.
At this time, there were suddenly countless images flooding into his mind, which made him have a headache.
Gradually, everything quieted down.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and the light shone brightly, and his vision was extremely clear, and everything was in full view.
As far as the eye can see, there are towering skyscrapers in front of you, surrounded by huge garden settings, and multiple faucets are spun in circles on the lawn.
There's a little sweetness in the air.
Xu Xian realized something, suddenly stretched out his hands, carefully examined them, and then, he stroked his skin and face, felt the touch full of toughness, and muttered in disbelief: "I am...... Xu Xian?"
"Yes, you are Xu Xian, what's the problem?"
A figure in front of him turned his head in surprise: "I've been doing some strange actions just now, you can't have any disease, right?" I have to explain to you first, our "First Generation" is selected by the top idol artist trainees of the young generation at home and abroad, although you are beautiful, but if you suffer from a serious disease, then you have to be psychologically prepared, even if you have passed the interview, there is a high probability that it will just be a formality. β
"I've had a medical exam. β
Xu Xian said subconsciously, and then he stretched out his hands again, moved his whole body, and looked at it carefully.
Everything is strange and familiar.
He frowned slowly, what was going on?
Rebirth?
No, it's like having a dream from a long time ago, and in that dream, I am ...... Xu Xian?
"It's good to have a medical check-up. β
The figure opened the folder and checked the physical examination form, and said to himself: "You were recommended by Assistant Jiang, to be honest, your appearance conditions are indeed great, and you are also the best in the entire "First Generation" audition, I think this is the most fundamental reason why Assistant Jiang came to you, in the final analysis, this is an era when traffic is king, as long as you have a topic, then you are a celebrity." β
"Actually, I'm a little curious, who took this photo of yours that became popular on the Internet?"
Xu Xian raised his head and saw a photo attached to the folder spread out by the person in front of him.
In the photo, he is an extremely beautiful boy, with messy short hair, a face like a crown of jade, red lips and white teeth, and clear and flawless eyes under the thick eyelashes.
This appearance is more delicate than many girls, and the temperament is also a little weak, which makes people have a strong desire to protect.
The boy in the photo is wearing orange overalls, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand, and is sitting in a fast food restaurant with a clean smile.
It is this kind of photo that quickly became popular on the Internet a few months ago, and has been compiled by many marketing accounts, such as celebrities' illegitimate children, bankrupt rich second generations, and other legends.
In short, rumors are spreading, and they have caused a sensation on many portals and exchange forums.
"I don't know, maybe it's a passerby. β
Xu Xian shook his head and said, and then he glanced at the photo again.
Hiss...... Is this really me?
It's a bit pretty.
At this moment, there are still many broken images left in his mind, and every frame is extremely real, which shocks his heart and makes it difficult to calm down.
Wait a minute.
In that world, I turned out to be an actor?
The man in front smiled: "I think it's the same, the shooting technique is too amateurish, not like a professional." By the way, I just picked you up, I was in a hurry, I forgot to introduce myself, I am the leader of the selection and management team of "The First Generation", Bao Dehai, you can call me Brother Hai, and I will be responsible for your daily life in the show "The First Generation". β
"Anyway, I've been in the industry for 12 years, I've never seen someone as handsome as you, you're more handsome in reality than in photos, I'm quite optimistic about you, I feel that you are born to be suitable for the entertainment industry. Well, actually, I want to give you a piece of advice, these days, not only girls, but boys have to protect themselves well!"
Xu Xian's eyes swept to Bao Dehai, and he said a little ignorantly: "I know, thank you Brother Hai for reminding me." β
Bao Dehai looked at Xu Xian, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
Regardless of personal ability, this appearance alone is also a seedling that can be focused on cultivating, Assistant Jiang has dug too deep, and this kind of outdated little Internet celebrity can be discovered, which is not simple.
"The producer of "The First Generation" will interview you, as well as some seniors in the industry, as long as you pass the interview, you can officially move into the contestant's dormitory, and you will be assigned a photographer at that time. β
Bao Dehai kindly reminded: "The contestants who pass the interview in "The First Generation" need to be broadcast live 24 hours a day, including business exercises, you wash, sleep, eat, etc., will be carried out under photography. There is no privacy here, your every move will be filmed by cameras from all directions, and in the entertainment industry, if you want to get ahead, this sacrifice is a must. β
Xu Xian opened his mouth, but finally nodded and said, "I know, when I came, Sister Na had already informed me of all her obligations." β
Bao Dehai was a little surprised, and the other contestants more or less complained about it, but at this moment, Xu Xian's reaction was completely like a mature artist, and he was a little impressed: "You seem to have been born to eat this bowl of rice." β
Xu Xian didn't speak.
He was sorting through the information that was coming through his mind, and two completely different memories were mixed together, making him feel like he was in a trance dream from time to time.
But he quickly got used to it.
This is a world that is roughly the same as the "previous life", and the development of the political and business circles is also roughly the same, and the roots of the development of the cultural world have not changed, but the cultural symbols that extend are completely different......
For example, the name "Xu Xian", in his previous life, was the protagonist of the famous masterpiece "The Legend of the White Snake".
But in this world, "Xu Xian" is just an ordinary name, although there is also the legend of "The Legend of the White Snake", but the male protagonist is called Deng Shilin.
That's where it gets interesting.
So, from now on, Xu Xian is not here, I am Xu Xian, nineteen-year-old Xu Xian.
Xu Xian pondered.
It turned out to be 2009?
As the information was sorted out, Xu Xian's brows gradually frowned.
Two years ago, the Asian financial crisis roared around the world, Xu Xian's parents held a hardware factory overwhelmed, and finally filed for bankruptcy, the Xu family plummeted from the original small rich family, and Xu Gongzi, who was rich in fine clothes and food in the past, also suffered an unprecedented financial contraction, and it didn't take long for Xu Xian's family to move back to his hometown in Kangcheng from Shanhai City after repaying most of the debts.
Half a month ago, my grandmother was seriously ill, and my parents rushed my grandmother to the hospital for treatment, and now she is still in intensive care.
In order to raise funds for treatment, Xu Xian accepted the suggestion of Jiang Weina, who was sent to Xiaoxiao, and decided to abandon the dignity of strict prevention in the past, and participated in the large-scale youth growth program "The First Generation" led by Xinghai Media Group.
Because as long as you stick to the end of the show and make a successful debut, you can get a bonus of one million from the program team.
and, a variety of exposure and publicity resources worth hundreds of millions of yuan.
The exposure resources of hundreds of millions of investments are all virtual, and only the one million bonus is what nineteen-year-old Xu Xian desperately wants to get.
That's life-saving money.
Xu Xian sighed.
This is such a naΓ―ve child.
With Xu Xian's previous strength performance, although his appearance is against the sky, if there is no change today, it is still unknown whether he can go to the end in "The First Generation".
After all, Xu Xian at that time, first, he couldn't sing, second, he couldn't act, third, he had no screenwriter or writing talent, and fourth, he was a weak and timid teenager.
But he has an excellent external condition, which allows Xu Xian to have a 50% success rate in the entire traffic era.
Yes, 50%, in the age of entertainment to death, being good-looking is already half the battle.
Just as the photo taken by the customer accidentally when he was doing odd jobs in a fast food restaurant caused widespread discussion on the Internet, if he didn't have a delicate and handsome face, such photos could only sink into the sea of the Internet in the end.
"That's right, Xu Xian. β
Bao Dehai led Xu Xian into an office building, and while helping Xu Xian register for entry and exit, he turned around and asked: "Assistant Jiang should have told you about today's interview process, I don't care what program you have prepared, that's your business, but there is one thing I want to remind you, after entering the interview hall, the program will officially start, and your every move will be captured by the camera......
Xu Xian paused and thought for a while, how did Xu Xian prepare before?
Oh, singing?
He nodded: "I have prepared ......"
After speaking, he was stunned, Xu Xian in his memory seemed to have no sense of music since he was a child, and there were only a handful of singing pictures in his mind.
And this time, the interview song he prepared turned out to be a children's song like "I Am a Little Frog"?
His heartbeat accelerated a little, and he slowly recalled the picture of his predecessor in the bedroom, reading the lyrics of his mobile phone, and nervously practicing this children's song......
The next moment, he only felt like thunder, like being struck by lightning.
"I'm a little frog
I love singing, quack
I like to jump from here to there
Jump from one side to the other ......."
