Chapter 209: Shortcuts Often Take Many Turns, and This Is Also True in the Entertainment Industry.

He Xu sat there for half a minute, then got up and threw away the leftovers and returned to the dormitory.

Open the door and turn on the light. No one else is in the dormitory.

She pulled away the stool and sat in front of the desk, looking at the mirror and hesitating for a while.

Although the senior sister had a good relationship with her, the drinking party... sounded a bit scary.

She had read gossip on the Internet, talking about unspoken rules and the like. Some film and television people go to nightclubs and live in chaos.

But the senior sister said that today we went to a high-end bar. The bar mainly plays light music and is relatively quiet without hot dancing. It is suitable for people to chat, communicate with friends, and have a drink and chat.

And there is some truth in what she said.

I really am waiting for Eastern Media to lose the pie every day.

what to do?

Should I go or not?

I want to go but I am afraid.

Oops, so annoying.

He Xu leaned forward and lay on the desk with his head sideways. He picked up his mobile phone and opened the chat software, scrolling from top to bottom.

what to do?

Who to ask? Can anyone give her some advice?

The senior sister said that the agent had a position and she couldn't believe it all, but she also felt that the senior sister seemed... well, I couldn't tell, maybe she shouldn't be suspicious of her friends.

I want to find a senior who knows the industry to ask.

She knows the circle. She had heard that Director Fang was highly qualified, but she was not familiar with Director Fang either.

Director Zhou of the artist management department? Alas, even less familiar. Moreover, Minister Zhou is like an elder. It is a bit shameful to go to a bar to talk to elders.

Ask the teacher? Ah, how embarrassing.

Forget it from my family, they don’t understand and are a little embarrassed.

Finger slides across the screen.

Suddenly, she stopped moving her hands, sat up straight, and her eyes fell on a name on the screen - Chen Xiao.

How about asking Director Chen?

They are considered peers, at least not awkward.

But he is a great leader. Is it too abrupt to ask this question suddenly?

He Xu hesitated.

At this moment, another message from the senior sister popped up on the phone.

When she clicked on it, she saw that her senior sister was recommending her dressing style. It was best to dress more purely.

He Xu raised her hand to cover her forehead and sighed.

It does fit her character, but why is she so uneasy?

She closed her senior sister's chat page, opened Chen Xiao's dialog box, and stared at the text box.

After all, she was Director Chen's first actress when he was an actor. He should have some friendship with her, right? Asking a question shouldn’t be frowned upon by the leader, right?

Why! Go ahead and ask!

It’s better than actually encountering unspoken rules!

He Xu gritted his teeth, put down his phone, took out a piece of paper, grabbed a pen, and started to type a draft of the question.

ten minutes later.

As a senior hot pot enthusiast, Chen Xiao was introducing the types of hot pot seasonings to Cha Zelle. As soon as he finished talking about the dry dish dipping sauce consisting of crushed peanuts, white sesame seeds, chili powder and salt and pepper, he saw his phone light up.

Picking it up and looking at it, it was a message from He Xu.

"Director Chen, I'm sorry to disturb you. I have a question. Is it convenient for you to talk to me for 5 minutes in the last hour and a half? Or can I send you a message? If it's not convenient, forget it. It's very easy. Sorry for bothering you."

Chen Xiao frowned slightly.

Judging from his tone, he must be in trouble.

After all, he is an artist under his banner, so can you help me?

He looked up and said to Chazelle: "I'm going to make a phone call."

"You can just fight here, it doesn't matter."

Since Cha Zelei said this, Chen Xiao didn't move.

It was a bit hot outside, so he called first to see what was going on. If necessary, he would go to the balcony to make a call.

Chen Xiao dialed He Xu's number directly.

Recording by the way.

This is not against He Xu, but because he has become famous and has to be on guard. Although He Xu didn't have the brains, he couldn't resist being fooled.

When the call was connected, Chen Xiao said, "He Xu, what's wrong?"

The person on the other side obviously breathed a sigh of relief, "Director Chen, I have something to ask you."

Immediately afterwards, He Xu explained the situation she encountered.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said:

"You calling me this shows that you trust me. You are almost your sophomore year, so I will tell you directly."

"do not go."

"It's the same in any industry. Don't think about taking shortcuts. The shortcuts you think are actually the 18 bends in the mountain road. Most shortcuts are stories made up by people who want to take advantage, waiting for those who want to take shortcuts to jump into the trap."

"You went there just for the connections, but let me tell you, there was someone who went to a liquor store for a year, drank until his stomach was perforated, and then just got a few special roles and didn't even have a few lines."

"You can consider the dinner party, but don't go to the wine party."

"Then there's the price. Why did you take shortcuts to get in a relationship? Did it happen through chat? We hit it off right away. Do you feel like your daughter? Is that possible?"

"In addition, your senior sister said that your agent sees you as a cash cow. Think about it, she said this is a good opportunity to meet the director, doesn't she want it? She asked you to be a green leaf? Is it possible for you to be a green leaf because of your fame? No Maybe, you will just take the opportunity away."

"Then she pulls you over and asks you to take away the opportunity. What is she trying to do? Use your brain and think about it."

After saying this, Chen Xiao heard a gasp from the opposite side.

On the other side of the phone, He Xu's eyes widened and he raised his hand to cover his mouth.

Yes, what are you picturing?

Senior sister has always wanted a chance to perform, but this time she was brought to steal the limelight. What is senior sister trying to do?

Is their relationship good enough to give up their future?

He Xu's hands were trembling a little thinking of this.

Why... She stopped breathing and thought of something in her mind.

At a safety education meeting last semester, the teacher said that someone was almost abducted by a middle school classmate.

She blurted out: "Oh my God, oh my God."

On the other side of the phone, Chen Xiao continued:

"Calm down."

"I won't tell your agent about what happened today, so you don't have to feel burdened."

"You don't have to be nervous either. If you don't want to go, no one can force you to go, right?"

After all, she signed with Oriental Media and is the heroine of "Kung Fu".

Considering the two relationships behind her, some people will fool her, but no one can force her.

Chen Xiao rubbed his eyebrows.

He Xu is just a little bit stupid, but her business ability is very good, and her accent has changed.

She has too little experience and little practice.

Oriental Media is now in need of its own talents, so he is still willing to give her a few more words of advice.

"He Xu, shortcuts are often detours, and you have to rely on yourself in the end."

"There is no shortage of people who are willing to take risks in the entertainment industry today. What is lacking is people with strong abilities. They need emotional intelligence, adversity intelligence, IQ, knowledge, business ability, and appearance."

"You have no problem with the latter two, keep working hard."

"As for the three intelligences and knowledge..."

"I suggest you read more books and study more first, and then during the summer vacation, I will ask your agent to arrange for you to participate in some simple variety shows. Pay attention to practical improvement during this period, okay?"

On the other side of the phone, He Xu lowered his head embarrassedly, "Well, thank you Director Chen. I'm sorry to trouble you. I really didn't want to ask you for a show..."

Today I really just want to ask for advice.

Director Chen, please don't misunderstand.

Fortunately, as soon as she finished speaking, the other party said:

"Well, I know. It's not an extra arrangement, but it was originally planned. Don't think about calling for an opportunity. Don't tell anyone about today's conversation, so as not to cause criticism."

"Yeah, I understand. Then I won't bother you."

"Okay."

As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, He Xu heard a dead tone coming from the receiver.

He Xu put the phone aside, sorted out what Chen Xiao had just said to her, and wrote down one, two, three, and four points.

Then she picked up the phone and sent a message to the senior sister with nausea: "Senior sister, I won't go, I wish you good luck."

Damn friendship, it's more bullshit than interests! Disgusting!

No one really wants to be her best friend, right?

Then don't. From today on, cement seals the heart!

Making friends also requires a good match. If you meet someone with equal strength, you will probably have friends. Oh, never mind, let's do business first!

She sighed, exited the chat software directly, turned off the lights in the dormitory, and got into the quilt to cover her head.

She wants to hide for a while, she feels safe in the quilt.

Why is the entertainment industry so chaotic? It has even spread to the school.

Fortunately, she is lucky and met a good leader at the beginning. It is another day to thank Director Chen, I wish him a long life.

Now it seems that the saying that the first bird to stick its head out is shot is really true.

She also made a guest appearance in "Home with Kids", and I heard that the broadcast time will be announced tonight.

When it is broadcast, she is afraid that people will envy her again. The higher you stand, the greater the pressure.

Ah, life is so annoying! The road to wealth is so hard.
