Chapter 4 A Chance (New Votes~)

After his parents went out of the bedroom, Yang Jiang did not continue to lie on the bed, but got out of bed and paced back and forth in the room, feeling the body.

On the balcony of the bedroom, there is a two-meter-high mirror.

Yang Jiang stood in front of the mirror, looking at himself in the mirror, or rather, his new body.

The skin is fair, the facial features are upright, the appearance is handsome, the physique is slightly fat, and the eyebrows and eyes of the young man in the mirror reveal a calmness.

In terms of appearance, Yang Jiang inherited more from his mother Jiang Yi, which is more delicate. In terms of physique, he is somewhat similar to Yang Tian, with a tall physique, a typical Hedong Han.

Yang Jiang raised his hand and touched his face, thinking in his heart, if he could lose twenty catties of meat, this body would also be a handsome guy who walked on the road and had a head turn.

It's not that Yang Jiang attaches so much importance to his appearance, it's just his habit in his previous life, it is common to increase fat and lose weight in order to film, and he has experienced a lot, and when he looks at his figure, he can quickly formulate a reasonable body shaping plan in his mind.

When Yang Jiang was looking in the mirror, the mobile phone on the bed rang a few more times.

Yang Jiang turned around, returned to the bedside, picked up his phone, and looked up.

This time it wasn't someone who sent a message, but an email.

Yang Jiang opened the email and looked at it, it was a message from a novel website called Original Chinese Net.

The original owner had previously submitted a novel manuscript to the original Chinese website, and now he has received a rejection email.

Yang Jiang browsed the memories of the original owner and gained some understanding of the world novel industry.

The original owner was not admitted to university at the beginning, and he didn't want to go out to work, so he stayed at home to write novels, and the Yang family's family conditions were enough to support his slow "creation".

There are two kinds of writers in the entire literary circle, one is the writer who takes the traditional route, and the other is the online writer who takes the commercial route.

With the rise of the literary business model, the development scale of online writers has become larger and larger, and has surpassed that of traditional writers.

In the online literary circle, the vast majority of writers create and publish literature through websites, and receive remuneration from them.

In his memory, Yang Jiang learned that some top online writers have an annual income of more than 100 million or even higher.

Father Yang Tian spends 365 days of 365 days a year performing and participating in activities, and only earns 20 or 30 million a year, which is not more than a fraction of the small goal of these top writers. Some people in the outside world say that Yang Tian can earn 100 million a year, but it is just a false rumor.

In the online literature circle, there are three large literary websites, which are called the three major by authors.

Among them, the original Chinese network has developed the best, and it has slowly developed from a simple literary website to the entertainment industry, of course, it is still mainly literature.

The original owner's dream is to become a platinum writer on the original Chinese website and be on the list of writers.

In the entire writers' circle, there is a writers' association, and the writers' association has set up a list to rank outstanding domestic writers in the past month.

But because there are only 100 places on the writer list, even platinum writers in the industry may not be able to make the list, so it is still extremely difficult, and it is the ultimate "dream" of countless online writers.

Just like there is a writers' association in the writers' circle, there is also an artist association in the entertainment industry, which plays a certain guiding role for domestic star artists.

On the fifteenth of every month, the Artist Association will also update a list, but this list is not like the writer list, there is no specific ranking, but it only serves as a reminder, which is the superstar list, the first-line list, the second-tier list, and the third-tier list.

And Yang Jiang's father, Yang Tian, is above the second-tier list.

Yang Jiang retracted his complicated thoughts, looked at the rejection email in the mailbox on his mobile phone, and just shook his head.

He also knew some online articles in his previous life, and knew that writing online articles was not as simple and easy as he imagined, and it took a lot of energy.

......

......

In the evening, night falls.

Jiang Yi sat on the sofa in the living room, her face ugly and brushing her voice.

Yang Tian, who was cooking dinner in the kitchen, could hear his wife's indignation from time to time.

His wife taught mathematics in the village primary school, and before Yang Tian made a career, his daily work was to teach and go to the field.

Teacher Jiang Yi, who has been ordinary for half his life, is similar to Yang Jiang many times, and he is very uncomfortable with the sudden development and sudden becoming the focus of everyone's eyes.

At this point, Yang Tian's mentality is very good, and he doesn't take the remarks on the Internet to heart, those people say that they can't lose a piece of meat by breaking the sky, but they can also increase their popularity and traffic.

Yang Tian was born in a farmer, has no culture, no brokerage company, can only sing, and has not been silent for so many years, an important reason is the controversy against him on the Internet, especially Douyin.

His wife is small-minded, and Yang Tian knows that if she is not allowed to read those remarks on the Internet, she will definitely not be willing, so she simply doesn't care.

Yang Tian cooked well and asked his wife Jiang Yi to call his son to eat.

Jiang Yi angrily threw the phone on the sofa, adjusted her mood, and called her son.

The family sat down at the dinner table.

Originally, tonight was supposed to be the night of candles in Yang Jiang's cave room, but now a family of three is sitting here.

The table is a square white porcelain carved table with scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded potatoes, stir-fried chili with beef, and a plate of pickles.

This is Yang Tian's habit, and it is also inherited by Yang Tian from the older generation, eating vegetables must be even, not singular.

And Jiang Yi doesn't pay attention to this, occasionally Teacher Jiang Yi cooks a meal at home and stir-fries an odd-numbered dish, Yang Tian will take out the pickles and put them on to make up an even number.

Jiang Yi picked up the chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of beef and eggs in her son's bowl, and then glared at Yang Tian, "You see that the dishes you cook are all what you like to eat, so don't you think about the appetite of our mother?" ”

Yang Tian smiled and said, "Isn't there beef?" ”

"How do you eat so many chili peppers?" Jiang Yi glanced at Yang Tian.

Jiang Yi doesn't like to eat mutton, so she tries to eat pork and beef at home, Jiang Yi doesn't like to eat spicy, the most spicy cooking at home is slightly spicy, most of the time, it is not spicy.

For the meal, the original owner never spoke, and Yang Tian only obeyed the leader's orders.

Watching his parents bickering, or rather, his mother criticizing his father, Yang Jiang looked very interesting, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

In his previous life, he had a cold and withdrawn personality, had few friends, and most of the meals were alone, such a lively scene made him uncomfortable at the same time, but also had some enjoyment.

Jiang Yi, who was serving vegetables to her son, saw Yang Jiang smiling, as if her face changed, and instantly smiled at Yang Tian's serious face, "Son, eat more meat, supplement nutrition, you have lost weight." ”

The corners of Yang Jiang's mouth twitched slightly, the weight of the original owner was estimated to be one hundred and eighty-nine, although he was relatively tall, about one meter eighty-five, and he was not very fat, but this weight could not be related to thinness.

"Okay, thanks...... Mother. Yang Jiang pinched the chopsticks and picked up the beef in the bowl and thanked Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi blinked and said with a smile: "Say thank you to your mother, your child is suffering today-"

Jiang Yi originally wanted to say that she was stimulated by something, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it back, which was inappropriate, and said that her son felt uncomfortable.

Yang Jiang didn't care, he saw that his father also sandwiched a large piece of beef, thinking that it was for himself, and deliberately soaked it in the rice, and then ...... Sandwiched into my mother's bowl, "This is not spicy, you can eat some too." ”

Teacher Jiang Yi smiled and nodded, satisfied with Yang Tian's behavior.

The corners of Yang Jiang's mouth twitched slightly, was he fed a mouthful of dog food?

The three of them were eating and talking, and they were silent about what happened during the day.

Ding Ding Ding.

At this time, Yang Tian's mobile phone rang, he took out his mobile phone, looked at the contacts, pressed the answer button, and put the mobile phone to his ear.

"Hey, old Zhang." Yang Tiandao, "What's wrong?" ”

The caller was Yang Tian's friend Zhang Zelin.

Zhang Zelin is the producer of Hedong Satellite TV's "I Am a Big Star" program, and Yang Tian signed up for "I Am a Big Star" by chance, and from this stage, he officially changed the life trajectory of himself and his family.

Yang Tian and Zhang Zelin have also been old friends for many years.

On the phone, Zhang Zelin's somewhat deep voice came, "Lao Yang, something happened to the show." ”

Yang Tian frowned slightly, although he had a good relationship with Zhang Zelin, but something happened to the show, what to do with him, his mind turned, he remembered something, his brows furrowed even deeper, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Zelin paused and said, "It's Zhou Yue, the show will be recorded in a few days, the staff called Zhou Yue today and haven't been contacted, I made a call to Zhou Guangquan, Zhou Guangquan told me that Zhou Yue didn't want to participate in the show, this is really-"

Speaking of the back, Zhang Zelin was also a little speechless.

Yang Tian changed his hand to hold the phone, sighed, and said, "I'm sorry, Lao Zhang, I have tired you." ”

When Yang Tian participated in "I Am a Big Star", it was the first season, and the fame and popularity of the show were still very small.

And now that several seasons of the show have been broadcast, several well-known grassroots singers have emerged, and by now, "I Am a Big Star" has become quite popular.

Last month, the eighth season of "I Am a Big Star" officially started the audition, and Yang Tian wanted to use his relationship to pull Zhou Yue and let Zhou Yue participate in "I Am a Big Star".

Zhang Zelin was also very face-saving, just after listening to Zhou Yue's song, he gave the green light, he didn't even participate in the audition, and went directly to the knockout round to record, and then he could be on TV.

Although Zhou Yue is an Internet celebrity, compared with the entertainment industry, the Internet celebrity circle is not in the stream after all.

Zhou Yue is grateful to Yang Tian, and Yang Tian is also willing to help her, after all, they will be a family soon.

But who knows, there is such a thing happening right now.

Zhou Yue was arranged by Zhang Zelin into the show, and now Zhou Yue can't be contacted, refusing to participate in "I Am a Big Star", the show has one less player, that is, there was a big accident, and Zhang Zelin, who arranged Zhou Yue into the show, is indeed sitting on wax.

So Yang Tian said that he had affected Zhang Zelin.

On the phone, Zhang Zelin smiled bitterly: "Lao Yang, I called you, not to blame you, but to ask you, is there anyone else who has chosen to recommend me, you have a wide career in the music world, if you have one, you will recommend it to me, this time the incident happened suddenly, and I was caught off guard." ”

"I Am a Big Star" is divided into knockouts, semi-finals and finals.

Most of the players who entered the knockout round came up from the audition, and a very small number of players were selected through special channels, and the so-called special channels are through the back door.

However, it is not easy to find a relationship and go through the back door, because the players in the knockout round must at least ensure that more than 95% of the players come from the audition, otherwise the impact will not be good, and there are only 60 players who enter the knockout round, so there will be no more than five players who enter the show through special channels every season.

From the knockout round to the semi-finals, it is 60 into 30, that is, 30 people need to be eliminated, and each place is counted.

Now that Zhou Yue is picking, the number of people in the program is not enough, and the recording is imminent, it is really difficult to find someone to fill this hole for a while.

Zhang Zelin knew that Yang Tian had been busy in the past few years, and he knew many people, and Zhang Zelin really made Zhou Yue enter the knockout round without going through the audition for the sake of Yang Tian's face, and now that there is a problem, it makes sense to come to Yang Tian for help.

When Yang Tian heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, he thought for a while, and said: "Lao Zhang, it's hard to say if there is a suitable one on my side, but I have to call and ask, you wait for me, whether there is news or not-" Yang Tian looked at the time and said, "I will reply to you before nine o'clock in the evening." ”

"Okay, Lao Yang, you can ask, if it's really okay, I'll think of another way, you don't have to be embarrassed." On the phone, Zhang Zelin said.

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Yi and Yang Jiang both looked at Yang Tian at the dinner table.

Jiang Yi looked at Yang Tian's solemn expression, and knew that something should be wrong, and the beef on the plate was not fragrant, she put down her chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

When Yang Tian answered the phone just now, he didn't avoid Jiang Yi and Yang Jiang's mother and son, although the two didn't listen to what they said on the phone, they also listened to a rough idea.

Yang Tian sighed, and told Jiang Yi and Yang Tian about Zhou Yue's "I Am a Big Star", Zhang Zelin came to find him, and told Jiang Yi and Yang Tian about it.

After Yang Tian finished speaking, Jiang Yi's eyes widened and said, "Yueyue is not participating in "I Am a Big Star"? I remember she was so happy. ”

In the past, Jiang Yi regarded Zhou Yue as a family member, and her name was also intimate, and she didn't change it for a while.

Although "I Am a Big Star" is not a popular variety show with the highest ratings in the country, it is also well-known, and it can be regarded as the program of Hedong Satellite TV.

The season when Yang Tian made his career was the first season of this show, and it was still very earthy and simple at that time, but seven seasons have passed, and "I Am a Big Star" has developed quite well.

Yang Tian didn't speak, he estimated that it should be Zhou Yue's girl who had a stubborn temper, and felt that she had already broken off with her family, so she shouldn't borrow her own resources and connections.

Although Yang Tian's senses for Zhou Yue are not as good as before, he has to admit that that girl is really a rare excellent girl, but unfortunately, she has no fate with her son.

After listening to his father's words, Yang Jiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a touch of contemplation flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Yang Tian took his mobile phone, found a phone, and dialed it.

The phone rang three or four times before it was connected.

On the phone, a slightly delicate female voice came out, "Hey, Master." ”

Yang Tiandao: "Xiaoqian, where are you?" What's wrong with the sound? ”

The person on the other side of the phone, whose name is Zhao Qian, is a native of Suzhou, the family is patriarchal, and the family fell out and went to the capital to do a group performance.

This girl is good at everything, but she loves to drink and smoke.

On the phone, Zhao Qian had a big tongue, "Hey, Master, Hey, Master, what did you say?" ”

Yang Tian repeated it again, and Zhao Qian replied: "Master, I'm at home, I drank some wine, it's fine." ”

As he spoke, Yang Tian heard a bang, and then Zhao Qian's voice came, "Ah, the phone fell into the wine." ”

Then, there was no follow-up, and the phone was disconnected.

"This girl knows how to drink all day long." Next to him, Jiang Yi shook her head and sighed, "Do you want Xiaoqian to go to the top of "I Am a Big Star"? ”

Yang Tian snorted and said, "Yes, the others, there is no suitable one." can't be too famous, singing has to be good, it's hard to find, wait a while to call Lao Zhang back, and call Xiaoqian tomorrow. ”

Yang Tian paused as he spoke, looked at Jiang Yi, and said, "Wife, you take the time to take care of Xiaoqian, she listens to you, you can't let her smoke and drink like this anymore, otherwise, it will be abolished in the future." ”

Jiang Yi nodded, "I have to take a good look at this girl, let her stay with me for a few days after a while, and I will take care of her." ”

Zhao Qian did not get the favor from her original parents, but she enjoyed it on Yang Tian and Jiang Yi's side, the master and mother in her mouth were not called in vain, she really regarded Yang Tian as her father and Jiang Yi as her mother.

Yang Tian was not in the mood to eat, so he drank two mouthfuls of food, and screened in his mind, if Zhao Qian's side didn't work, was there anyone else?

I have to call Zhang Zelin back at nine o'clock tonight, Yang Tian doesn't want to delay until tomorrow, this is his principle.

Zhou Yue picks his son, if he can't find someone to fill the hole, Zhang Zelin will inevitably sit on wax, "I Am a Big Star" is the top program of Hedong Satellite TV, and the leaders of the station attach great importance to it, if it is because of himself, let Zhang Zelin be punished or criticized, Yang Tian is very guilty.

When Yang Tian was thinking.

Suddenly, Yang Jiang spoke.

"Dad, let me try."

Yang Jiang knew that he would definitely not stay at home for a lifetime, and he would definitely go out, so this was an opportunity, and he should become famous as soon as possible.

For other jobs, Yang Jiang feels that he is not suitable, and he may not necessarily do it.

And in my mind, there are so many classics in my previous life, if I return to my old business and enter the entertainment industry again, I will definitely be able to live a good and easy life, not as tired as I lived in my previous life, and I can develop well.

Or, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can take care of your father.

This kind of life is not bad.

Yang Jiang looked at Yang Tian.

And Yang Tian was also looking at his son with a stunned look.
