10 months is not a long time, but it is not short, as Le Mingxiao said, after stepping into this circle, it may be a smooth road, maybe it will be full of thorns, in less than a year, the pattern of the top 10 players in Xingsheng has begun to become clear.

Some people are born to eat this bowl of rice.

For example, Qi Yao, who has been filming since the end of the competition, at the Shanghai International Film Festival in June, a film on the theme of drug rehabilitation in which he participated entered the competition unit, and he won the best newcomer for the role of a juvenile delinquent in the movie.

For example, Li Xin had a very high popularity during the competition, and was the first to release his first album after the game, which received a good response in the circle, with sales exceeding 100,000, which is already a pretty good result in today's Chinese music market becoming more and more depressed.

Although some people have limited conditions, they have also walked out of their own path with their acquired efforts and positive character.

For example, Bian Xiangdong and Jiang Yue, because of their common love for rock and roll, the two formed a group after many discussions with the company, and released their first mini album in August, which is being signed nationwide non-stop. At the same time, Bian Xiangdong's film and television contract was signed by Ren Chaoyuan, and he occasionally made cameo appearances in movies or TV series. Jiang Yue has grown into a new generation of variety show princes, and is favored by the variety show directors of various David TV.

The remaining players, the top 10 and even the top 20, either can't withstand the fierce competition in the circle and quit early, or they continue to suffer and find a way out. Fortunately, the company is quite kind, and those who insist on terminating the contract will not be embarrassed, and those who want to stay will give you a bowl of rice to eat, but there is no work to support themselves, and in the end it is just the end of being reduced to a notice artist.

Chengdu, January 16, 2014.

Today is the day of the national premiere of the film "Spicy Family", which is a comedy-themed film, based on Sichuan food culture, telling the story of a century-old Sichuan restaurant, the main line of the film revolves around the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, and the conflict between traditional culture and modern society and the gradual integration of the humorous film language of Guò is vividly displayed. This is a Chinese New Year film jointly produced by Starlight Media and AXA Pictures, the director and screenwriter of the film are all from Sichuan, and the casting is also a specially selected Sichuan actor, and the film was filmed in Chengdu throughout the whole process, so the premiere was naturally selected in Chengdu.

Yan Duo is very optimistic about this movie. I met the director by chance at a friend's birthday party, and the two talked happily, and after less than half an hour of communication, he had already made a decision to invest in the film, and later brought AXA Pictures to join in. After watching the finished movie, he was even more sure that he didn't look away, and now that the movie is officially released, in order to ensure that the box office is more excellent, Yan Duo also spares no effort in publicity.

The main creative team of the film, in addition to Yan Duo and An Shaolang, the two main investors, as well as the director, screenwriter, several leading actors, and even the singer of the theme song, all rushed to Chengdu the day before the premiere. On the morning of the same day, the crew first held a media conference in the hotel banquet hall, and then rushed to the cinema non-stop to meet with the moviegoers and conducted a series of interactions.

After the end of the qiē, the celebration banquet is naturally indispensable. How can you not eat hot pot when you come to Chengdu, so all the members of the crew went directly to Shu Jiuxiang, Gao Jie had already booked a private room there in advance, everyone just had to eat with an open stomach, and naturally Yan Duo, the big boss, was responsible for paying the bill.

Not long after the banquet began, Qi Yao suddenly held a wine glass and came over to toast Yan Duo.

"Thank you Mr. Yan for giving me the opportunity to participate in such an excellent film, I salute you for this glass. Qi Yao said as he drained the whole glass of beer.

"Don't thank me. Yan Duo said, and also took a symbolic sip of the wine glass, "As long as you have the ability, you should get anything, continue to work hard." ”

"Yes, I'll try. ”

Yan Duo nodded, and when Qi Yao was about to return to his table a moment later, he suddenly said, "I remember that you are a native of Chengdu, right?"

"Yes. Qi Yao replied, "Two years ago, around this time, I participated in the audition of the Star Sound Competition in Chengdu. ”

Yan Duo smiled, and said in his heart that this Qi Yao would really be able to observe words and feelings, and knew what he really wanted to ask, so he stopped beating around the bush and asked directly: "Is there still any connection with Le Mingxiao?"

"Lele occasionally appears in WeChat groups," Qi Yao said, "In addition to classes, I heard that he also set up a music studio with a few classmates, helping people record demos, produce post-production, and sometimes contact commercial performances, which seems to be quite busy." ”

"Heh," Yan Duo showed an inexplicable smile on his face, "I can't see that this kid is calm." I thought that Le Mingxiao would soon be unable to hold a compromise, but I didn't expect that he had not been heard from since he left Beijing, and I thought that the young man would definitely not be able to bear the lonely rise, who would have thought that he would disappear when he said that he would disappear, and he has never appeared on any social network since then.

"Although Lele is young, he has always had a lot of ideas. ”

"Really?" Yan Duo shook his glass, his eyes fixed on the liquid in the glass.

"Mr. Yan is coming to Chengdu for the first time, right?" Qi Yao suddenly changed the topic, "In fact, there are many interesting places in Chengdu, such as Kuanzhai Alley, Chunxi Road, and Wuhou Temple, which we used to like to go to, if Mr. Yan has the opportunity, you can go and see." ”

Yan Duo raised his head, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, I will definitely go when I have time......

The next morning, when the crew was going to the airport, Yan Duo stayed, saying that there were other things to do and that he would stay for two more days, but Gao Jie, who had never left him, did not follow him this time. When everyone was leaving, An Shaolang said with a gossipy face, Old Yan, you don't want to stay and relive the old dream, Yan Duo just smiled and didn't answer.

In fact, this is not the first time Yan Duo has come to Chengdu. There was once a person who was very important to him was from Chengdu, because of that person, he had been to Chengdu many times, and because of that person, he used to know Chengdu as well as any local.

He still remembers the first time he came to Chengdu. At that time, not long after their debut, they came to Chengdu to record the show, and secretly ran out when the economic people were not paying attention. That person took him to the famous "Kuanzhai Alley" in Chengdu, where he felt the cultural heritage of "Tianfu Shaocheng" for the first time, tasted the most authentic spicy and fresh fragrance, and watched the magical Sichuan opera change his face. At that time, they had no fame and no money, so they could squat on the side of the road and eat fried squid for a few cents, without worrying that someone would recognize them, let alone someone judging them, and some would just be young and ignorant and happy. But those were a long, long time ago, so long that Yan Duo had to calculate carefully to count how long.

After walking a dozen steps, I turned left and suddenly entered a quiet street, as if I was completely separated from the outside into two different worlds. Yan Duo looked around, he remembered that there was an old video store nearby, and at that time, they liked to go to that video store every time they came to Chengdu, and they were always happy because they found a precious vinyl record.

Yan Duo searched for it with his feelings, and sure enough, he found the store. The name of the store has not changed, but the store has a new look, and it is no longer what it was remembered. Yan Duo pushed open the transparent glass door, the bell hanging on the door made a jingling sound, the shopkeeper was lying on the cash register napping, he entered the store, and then when he walked to the second row of shelves, he met Le Mingxiao who was picking out CDs.

It was January 17, 2014, 10 months and 5 days after the last separation, and the two finally met again.
