19. Chapter 19
The door knocked lightly three times, half opened, and the waiter bent down slightly, then leaned sideways to get out of the way, and made a gesture of invitation to the guest invited by the waiter.
Shen Jiang, who was reading the menu, raised his head when he heard the sound.
A woman dressed in the latest fashion items walked in, elbowing a bag, a pair of exaggerated sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, already slender and tall, and stepping on a pair of pointed high heels.
Shen Jiang smiled when he saw it, "Are you going to the fashion week catwalk?" β
The person who came stood still a few steps away from her, his chin raised slightly, but Ling Ren's momentum was displayed for only three seconds, and immediately 'ouch', and he staggered towards Shen Jiang.
"Hurry up and help me! These shoes are too high, they hurt me! β
"Who told you to wear shoes so high......"
Shen Jiang got up and hugged her funny, helped her sit down in the opposite position, and took off the pair of eye-catching sunglasses, "You dare to wear sunglasses when your shoes are so high, you are not afraid of falling!" β
The facial features under the sunglasses are delicate and delicate, and a man with a slightly larger physique can cover that little face with a slap.
Jiang Yu pursed his lips and was unhappy, "I haven't seen you for so long, and it will hurt me as soon as you open your mouth." β
Shen Jiangbai glanced at her, took out a piece of paper and threw it to her, "Wipe your blood-red mouth, do you want to eat?" β
Jiang Yu stuck out his tongue and 'slightly', took the tissue and obediently wiped the lipstick, Shen Jiang picked up the menu to continue the unfinished ordering business, and asked her taste while ordering, she and Shen Jiang mostly had no opinions when eating, and would only say, 'Okay, okay, okay'.
In this way, he quickly finished the order, and the waiter who had been installing sculptures next to him to reduce the sense of storage left quickly.
There are no outsiders in the box, so you can talk with confidence. Jiang Yu didn't say a word and opened fire, "Shen Jiang, you have no conscience!" If you shoot like a concubine, you don't tell me, and you don't even tell me if you shoot Longqian, so I've been worried about you for so long! β
"Worried about what? Worried that I won't have anything to eat when I make my debut? Shen Jiang smiled, "Okay, you also know such a thing as a confidentiality treaty, I want to say, the problem contract stipulates that it can't be done." Don't talk about you, even my aunt only knew about it after watching the news. β
Jiang Yu snorted, suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up, "Wait!" So, have you always seen Lu Baiting in person during this time? When I said I was going to give you a humanoid pillow...... Also? β
Shen Jiang got angry when he mentioned this, thinking of the big red face in front of Lu Baiting, and glared at her, "You still have the face to say, if you are seen by your seniors, I don't need to see anyone!" β
ββ¦β¦ Seen? β
Jiang Yu seemed to have captured some information, and smiled with a wink: "Why did he see the message I sent you?" Are you so familiar with this kind of process now? Such a great opportunity to film together, explain quickly, did you take the opportunity...... Uh-huh? β
Shen Jiang chirped: "Take advantage of your size, filming is filming, and you talk nonsense about work." β
"Oops, the expression is wrong......"
"Shut up, don't shut up and wait for you to eat the plate."
After a few words of frolicking, the waiter knocked on the door and came in to serve the food, and the two restrained their unorthodox appearance.
Shen Jiang asked about the matter: "When will you join the group to shoot a new drama?" β
"Come on, it'll be officially announced in a while, what about you? What are the arrangements after the dragon diving is filmed? β
"I don't know yet, I'm going to take care of the broker first."
"You haven't signed an agent yet?" Jiang Yu was surprised, "What's the matter, Director Xu didn't introduce you?" β
Shen Jiang said: "Director Xu gave me a list and said that if I want to, I can contact him in his name, and I am still thinking about it." β
With the movie "Dragon Diving", there are many people in the industry who are willing to sign her, in all fairness, the agents introduced by Director Xu are very good, but she has other ideas in her heart.
Jiang Yu nodded and said, "It won't be long before we can meet in Hengdian, you have all appeared in front of the media, you don't need to hide from me anymore, right?" β
"Dragon Dive" will probably be filmed until the end of January, and Jiang Yu is expected to settle in Hengdian at the end of December, just a few days.
"There are a lot of rules in Director Xu's crew, but I can go and see you." Shen Jiang asked, "Is the protagonist decided?" β
"The heroine is not there yet, the male protagonist has decided on Fang Qiyuan."
"Fang Qiyuan? Is it the one who has been in the headlines with Duan Yu for several days? β
"That's him." Jiang Yu cut the food on the plate, shrugged his shoulders, and lazily gave Shen Jiang a spoiler, "I still have a lot of emotional scenes with him, and I love him to death or alive in the play." β.
At around eight o'clock, Shen Jiang and Jiang Yu separated, arrived at another restaurant by car, found a place to sit down in the corner of the hall on the second floor, ordered a glass of lemonade, and casually pulled out a magazine from the iron bookshelf on the side, and quietly flipped through it.
Ten minutes later, a woman in a white work suit sat down across from her, "Miss Shen is so punctual." β
Shen Jiang raised his head, put the book aside, and smiled lightly: "Don't dare to let Sister Shang wait for a long time." β
The facial features of the woman in front of her are decent, but she is very decent, and her makeup and hairstyle magnify the advantages and add a lot of points. There are slight fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but it does not affect her perception at all, compared to Jiang Yu, this kind of momentum on her body has been honed for a long time and precipitated from the years.
ββThis is also how it should be, it is impossible to be famous in a place like the entertainment industry without a little skill. After all, Shang Tianying's three words are a strong and powerful sign.
Neither of them is a person who likes to waste time, so he didn't gossip anymore, Shang Tianying said: "The news of today's Longqian press conference is overwhelming, I watched part of the video, and the acting skills are not discussed for the time being. β
Shen Jiang pursed his lips and smiled.
"Xu Minan spent a lot of time preparing for this work, and as the heroine, I think he should do something for you." She raised an eyebrow, "You're not satisfied with the agent he introduced to you?" β
"Not really. There are many good brokers, but I want the most suitable one. β
"Suitable?" Shang Tianying smiled, "What do you mean by being suitable?" β
"Feeling. I feel that Sister Shang is very suitable. Shen Jiang paused and spread his palms, "I don't think there's any point in pursuing this issue, it's better to talk about something useful." β
Shang Tianying was silent, looking at her carefully, her eyes were unclear.
has been an agent for many years, and she has brought many people, such as the 'Two Movie Stars and One Queen' who made her famous, as well as what 'Jade Girl Head', 'The Head of the Four Little Flowers' and other smash hits and artists who are still active in the front line in the future. After parting ways with an artist who thought she had stiff wings three years ago, she took a long break and made a high-profile comeback not long ago.
As far as she knows, many agencies have noticed this young girl who has not yet graduated, although she was once a leader in the industry, but the latter has many options to choose from, and she does not have to be.
Shen Jiang took the initiative to come to the door, to her surprise.
"Actually, I read a lot of Sister Shang's information, and I heard that Sister Shang's master is Ms. Qu Ming?" Shen Jiang said unabashedly, "I'm very interested in this. β
Shang Tianying's eyes moved slightly, and he picked up the cup and took a sip of warm water.
"When I first started in the industry, she did take me, but it was not long, about a month. She's busy, I don't see her very often, and when she leaves the company, she runs into her even less. β
Shen Jiang listened to her softened tone, and the curvature of his lips became larger.
"Don't talk about that." Shang Tianying said, "Can I ask Miss Shen's goal for entering this industry?" β
"Do you ask about the big or the small aspects?"
"What's the difference?"
Shen Jiang said with a smile: "Of course it's different, the small aspects are nothing more than success, this circle is hierarchical, and the reality is extreme." The scenery from the heights is good, and everyone wants to go up, and I am certainly no exception. As for the big picture......"
Shang Tianying raised her eyebrows, "Big ......?" β
Shen Jiang smiled suddenly, lowered his eyes slightly, and his voice sank a little inexplicably, "In general, it naturally has to be from the entire industry." The situation of the mainland film industry must be well known to people in the industry, not to mention decades ago, let's just say that more than ten years ago, the survival situation of mainland actors has not been very good. Whether it is a director, producer or investor, they all favor non-mainland artists, and many actors are not given opportunities just because they are from the mainland. β
For example, Zhang Yue's predecessor, starring in "Blossoming Happiness", is popular all over the country, winning the Magnolia Award, but he can only play the ugly villain in the movie. Another example is Hong Wei's predecessors, who are now known as the "six billion actors", have not been taken seriously in the past ten years, and how many non-mainland newcomers have been used as supporting roles as green leaves, and it was not until the mainland film industry boomed that he had the opportunity to emerge. And these are not just the individual cases, there are countless similar cases. β
"Such a phenomenon of resource tilt is unhealthy for the film industry, but after the prosperity of the mainland film industry, countless fresh idols who are super popular but unwilling to concentrate on honing their strength have flooded this circle, bringing a new round of market bubbles, and the impression of 'no good movies can be made in China, as long as they are produced in China, they will be bad movies' has become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the past two years. After the unhealthy, there is the unhealthy even more strictly. β
Shen Jiang raised his eyes and looked at Shang Tianying, "With my current status, you may think that I am not able to say these words, and Yelang is arrogant. But I often think that all practitioners must be meaningful to the industry in which they work, and actors are no exception. β
"I believe that the situation will get better and better in the future, and more and more good films will appear in dozens of bad movies every year, until one day, we will also have a rational, mature, orderly and healthy film industry environment like Europe and the United States." Her eyes were clear and her lips curled, "It may be far away that day, but I want to do my part as an actor." β
A long, long time ago, at the beginning of her determination to become an actress, she saw a text in a magazine. The man who has won the actor several times has no intention of being indifferent in the face of the interview, and she can even imagine his cold expression between the lines.
The man said: "The golden age is far from coming, whether it is film and television, filmmakers should work harder and bury their heads forward." β
- Yes, Lu Baiting is willing to be the cornerstone, and so is she.
It was already nine o'clock when the monk Tianying returned to the hotel after talking, and the two shook hands when they parted, and from her attitude, Shen Jiang knew that he was able to pass this level. Next, it is time to talk about the detailed contract terms, Shang Tianying's new company is strong, and these things will be handled by professional people.
On the way back, Shen Jiang looked at the night scene outside the car window and was slightly distracted.
It is not difficult for her to find an agent, and there is a very important reason why she chose Shang Tianying, but she did not say it.
It was mentioned, but it was not specified.
Qu Ming.
Shang Tianying's entry into the industry was brought by Qu Ming, although a month was short, all her initial ideas about brokerage were influenced by Qu Ming. The circle said that her methods of acting were somewhat similar to Qu Ming, and after Qu Ming retired, some people even called her 'Qu Ming's second'.
This point is far more attractive to Shen Jiang than others.
Maybe many people who are new to the industry now don't know the name Qu Ming, indeed, compared to Shang Tianying's rich history of achievements, her resume is much more monotonous.
However, as far as the mainland brokerage industry is concerned, no one has been able to surpass it so far.
- Qu Ming has only brought one artist, and that artist is a legend, and her name is Mu Qing.
