Chapter 50: The Characteristics of an Agent
Wang Yang did not continue to explore the copyright of the song, and when he knew that Zhou Cheng was a graduate of Yenching Film Academy and also belonged to the entertainment industry, several people began to talk about gossip in the entertainment industry.
Although he is mixed in the singer circle, as a veteran of the Beijing circle, Wang Yang knows secrets that several others have never heard of. Wang Yang picked up a few things that could be said as talking points, which opened the eyes of Gu Xintong, who is a rookie in the entertainment industry.
"Don't listen to him, there are many things in this that are true and false, and some of them are deliberately released to confuse the public and help the parties to clear their hands." Watching Feng Chong and the two drive away, Zhou Chengcai, who was a little drunk, explained to Gu Xintong, who was still unsatisfied.
"Fake? Probably not. ”
"I don't know if Sister Hua has taught you that if you want to become an agent, after encountering something, don't be deceived by its appearance, you must be able to peel back the cocoon and find the truth of the matter." Maybe it's because of drinking too much, maybe it's because he wants to point out Gu Xintong, Zhou Cheng has a bit of a lot to say today.
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's like the Golden Horse Awards actress Li Yun and her singer husband broke up." Zhou Cheng lit a cigarette and walked back with Gu Xintong: "This matter was a little earlier than this last year, and the media reported it overwhelmingly, did you know about it at that time?" ”
"I remember, it seems that Li Yun and her best friend were together at Yanjing's house, blocking Qin Kai and his assistant from cheating. It is said that many media reported at that time, and Qin Kai burned the car of a reporter from the "Beijing News" in a fit of rage. ”
"According to Wang Yang's statement tonight, Qin Kai and Li Yun have already verbally agreed to divorce, but Li Yun asked the media to repeatedly hype up this matter in order to fight for the custody of the child, so that Qin Kai's career plummeted, so as to achieve his own goal." Zhou Cheng looked at Gu Xintong and asked, "Who do you believe now?" ”
"Brother Wang, as their mutual friend, what he said should be true. Brother Wang said that when Chen Yun entered the Xiangjiang film industry, it was Qin Kai's connections, and it seems that the media has reported this. Gu Xintong thought for a moment and gave the answer he thought he had.
"So it's important to look beyond the surface to see the details. The news on both sides of them is true and false. Different people stand at different angles and say different things. Zhou Cheng shook his head and asked Gu Xintong: "If you are a passerby who doesn't know the truth in the outside world, or an ordinary fan, then which side will you believe?" ”
"If I were an ordinary person, I would probably believe the news released by Li Yun, after all, she has certification, physical evidence, and media reports. But now I believe what Brother Wang said. Gu Xintong thought about it for a while, but still insisted that the inside story he heard tonight was true.
Zhou Cheng didn't say whether she was right or wrong, but asked, "Have you ever learned about Yanjing's underground music scene?" ”
Looking at Gu Xintong shaking his head, Zhou Cheng explained to him: "In this circle, the interaction between men and women is often just a drink, a cigarette, a barbecue or even an ambiguous look. There is no chastity or loyalty at all. And before Li Yun went to Xiangjiang, she was also a famous fruit in this circle. Before Qin Kai, he had five or six boyfriends, including the bassist of Qin Kai's band. ”
The matter between Li Yun and Qin Kai has long been wiped out on the Internet more than ten years later, including Li Yun's past, especially after she won the title of Golden Horse Award Actress, she began to move to the field of commercial films, but unfortunately many films have lost money at the box office and become a famous "box office poison", and her status in the entertainment industry is not as good as before. The past about her was gradually revealed, and it became the talk of many keyboard warriors.
"Oh, really? How come I haven't heard? Gu Xintong asked with a gossipy face.
"You haven't heard of it, because this past is not visible to other media except for the spread of the underground music circle." After Zhou Cheng said hello to Grandma Liu at the gate of the community, he continued to popularize Gu Xintong: "After Li Yun became famous, she already had the capital to spend money on her, and those media all took people's money and people to eliminate disasters, so these past slowly became rumors and lost their credibility." ”
"So powerful?" Gu Xintong was a little incredulous.
"It's just a general operation." Zhou Cheng smiled, ten years later, under the intervention of capital, hot searches are flying all over the sky, if you don't know the inside story, you don't know which is the real information: "In fact, Li Yun got acquainted with Xiangjiang directors Wang Jiawei and Xu Anhua, and it was not Qin Kai's connections. He has not yet had the energy to influence the film and television industry in Xiangjiang. ”
"Qin Kai was not a very popular singer back then? He also held a concert in Hung Hom in Xiangjiang. ”
"The music industry and the film and television industry are two different circles." Zhou Cheng looked at the gate of the courtyard, took out the key and opened the courtyard door, and said: "Although Li Yun is not a graduate of a professional film and television school like Nortel or China Opera, she is still very talented in acting, just like your company's weekly news." She has worked with director Kwan Jinpeng for a long time, and then director Kwan Jinpeng recommended her to Wang Jiawei. After cooperating with several films one after another, she was called the goddess of Xiangjiang's new generation of literary films. ”
"So there's an inside story." There was only one recliner in the yard, and Gu Xintong, who had eaten a little bit today, lay down directly: "It's so supportive." Brother Cheng, I'll lie down first. ”
"It's a shame that you used to be an athlete, so overeating, I'm not afraid of hurting my stomach." Zhou Cheng returned to the room, took out a floor fan, and made her a cup of tea with a few pieces of dried hawthorn.
"Brother Cheng, thank you." Gu Xintong took the cup and put it on the coffee table: "With your foundation, I can live with clear soup and little water this week." ”
"How much do you spend a month on Orange Day? How do you look at your miserable life. The rattan chair was occupied by Gu Xintong, looking at her state, it was estimated that she would not get up, so Zhou Cheng had no choice but to take out the beach recliner that Chu Ran had placed here before.
"I'm just an intern, how much money can I have." Gu Xintong pouted: "The basic salary of 1,800 a month, and the company does not include food and housing." It's okay if you can bring the artist, follow the artist to make announcements, have food and accommodation, and you can also apply for some subsidies. Someone like me who has nothing can only live on a basic salary. ”
"Hehe, it's pretty miserable." Hearing Gu Xintong's words, Zhou Cheng laughed heartlessly.
Gu Xintong sat up dissatisfied, felt the accumulation of food in his abdomen, hurriedly lay down again, pointed at Zhou Cheng and said, "Do you have any sympathy, if it weren't for paying you a one-time rent of 7,000 yuan, I wouldn't be so miserable." ”
"Miss, you don't go and inquire, a thousand yuan a month, is there such a price around here?" This time it was Zhou Cheng's turn to be dissatisfied: "If it weren't for the fact that I didn't understand the market and was picked up by you, my house would be rented for at least 1,008." And you paid it for six months, and I lost 5,000 yuan directly. ”
"Hee-hee, that's right." Gu Xintong turned over comfortably and smiled embarrassedly.
After taking a sip of the hawthorn water that Zhou Cheng had soaked, Gu Xintong couldn't hold back his curiosity and continued the topic just now: "You said that Li Yun is doing well in Xiangjiang, and Qin Kai is also good, although it has gone downhill in the past two years, he is still active in the music world." Then why did the two break up, and everyone knew about it, and their careers were also affected. ”
"I'm just speculating." Zhou Cheng thought about it and still had reservations: "The year before last, Li Yun won the Golden Horse Award for actress through the film "The Best Time". took over the commercial film "Tang Fengyunlu", and when she caught Qin Kai in bed last year, it was just in the publicity stage of that drama. I guess the producer of this drama deliberately arranged for the media to report on this matter overwhelmingly. ”
"Oh, it's for hype, to increase box office influence." Gu Xintong slapped his hands and sat up: "I understand, this is not necessarily Li Yun's intention, she shouldn't want her marital status to be exposed to the public like this." She and Qin Kai were both used by the producer, so Qin Kai burned the car later. ”
"I didn't expect you to have a lot of sharpness." Gu Xintong's startled Zhou Cheng at first glance, and then praised her talent.
Gu Xintong said proudly: "That is, as a judo athlete, you always pay attention to the flaws of your opponent, and only after you find it can you take action immediately, so that you can defeat the enemy with one move." ”
"Hehe, praise you twice, you're still floating."
The two of them just lay on a wicker chair, and one lay on a beach chair and looked up at the sky.
In the past two years, in order to welcome the arrival of the Olympic Games, Yanjing has launched a series of measures to remediate pollution, which seems to have achieved initial results. This also made Zhou Cheng a little interested, Zhou Cheng lay on the beach chair, looked up at the night sky, and found that in addition to a bend of the eyebrow moon, he could actually see a little starry, and analyzed the constellations in the sky, hoping to find something familiar to him.
"What's so beautiful about this, our stars are beautiful there." Gu Xintong was immersed in a sad mood for a while, and began to have a trace of vitality: "When I was a child, I often went to the big lake with my mother, and every night, the stars seemed to fall on the lake, which was very beautiful......
"Great Lake? Poyang Lake? Zhou Cheng has seen her ID card, and the address on Gu Xintong's ID card is Jiangxi Province.
Looking at the reddened jujube on the jujube tree in the yard, he was a little greedy: "Brother Cheng, pick two jujubes and taste them." ”
"Sensei, these dates have an owner." Zhou Cheng shook his head.
"Lord? Whose? Could it be that there are other owners of this house? Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Gu Xintong couldn't help but sit up anymore, and looked at him vigilantly: "Brother Cheng, it won't be two days before someone comes to me to ask for rent, right?" I'll leave it all to you. ”
Zhou Cheng was angry by Gu Xintong's words: "What do you want?" Do you think I look like someone who cheated you out of this rent? ”
"Well, I think so." Gu Xintong pretended to look at it, and then nodded.
"Believe it or not, I'll knock you to death." Zhou Cheng stretched out a hand and was about to knock Gu Xintong's head, seeing that the other party was clenching his fist, he raised his hand and put it on his head again, and rubbed it: "This house is mine, but this jujube tree belongs to my three sisters." ”
Gu Xintong was amused by Zhou Cheng's appearance: "Hehe, you have three sisters?" Planned Parenthood didn't check your home? ”
"True gossip?" Zhou Cheng glanced at her, but still explained: "Of the three sisters, only one is a sister, the other is a cousin, and the other is my cousin. ”
"It's really complete." Gu Xintong's curiosity was still not satisfied, and he continued to ask, "Why is the house yours and the tree theirs?" ”
"This house was originally owned by my grandfather in '86, but this tree was planted by my three sisters and my grandfather. After my grandfather died, he left a will and transferred the house to me, and the tree was taken away by them. ”
Gu Xintong understood what had happened, and couldn't help but complain: "Your family must be your grandson, your grandfather is really patriarchal." ”
"The older generation is like this, fortunately, our families get along quite harmoniously, and they also come to care for me from time to time by taking care of this jujube tree." Zhou Cheng thought of his three strong sisters, and couldn't help but shiver.
"I really envy you, the family can be so harmonious." Gu Xintong didn't see Zhou Cheng's expression, but remembered some other things with some emotion, and there was some sadness during the period.
