If you are asked to be a professional bootlicker, you will turn the goddess into a clown?
Chapter 18: A little actor then, a big star now
Zhang Yang was sitting in the car on the way to the orphanage, and he watched a few short videos out of boredom. Although he knew that Xia Xueqi was very popular now, he didn't know how popular she was.
You won’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked. She actually has 20 million fans on Doudou. Any short video she posts will get hundreds of thousands of likes. She is definitely a traffic giant.
The latest drama she starred in is "Fox Spirit Little Mei Niang", a drama adapted from an online novel that has been very popular for many years and requires huge investment. She plays the female lead in it.
Not only that, the advertisements she took were also for very powerful businesses, such as Eve Chocolate, Cool Cola, etc.
It was more than two years ago when he met Xia Xueqi.
At that time, he took advantage of the summer vacation and went to Hengdian alone for a budget trip. By chance, he met a girl dressed in the costume of a Qing Dynasty palace maid sitting on the side of the road crying bitterly at night, and no one paid any attention to her.
He felt sorry for her, so he walked up to her, handed her a tissue to wipe her tears, and asked her what was wrong.
The girl's makeup was all smudged due to her crying, and Zhang Yang couldn't see what she looked like. She saw that Zhang Yang didn't look like a bad person, and maybe she had no one to talk to about her distress, so she told him the reason why she was crying.
It turned out that she was actually still filming a night scene, playing a palace maid. She didn't recite her lines well for a part, so the director criticized her severely and said that he would replace her with someone else.
She had gotten this role with great difficulty, and she begged the director to let her do it again, but the director refused to agree.
When the crew was leaving, the director found her again and asked her if she could sleep with him for one night. If she could, not only would she not be replaced, but she would also be given more scenes.
Of course the girl disagreed and scolded the director on the spot. As you can imagine, she was fired from the crew on the spot for such an insignificant role.
This kind of thing is very common in Hengdian. If you don't obey the unspoken rules, you will basically have no place to stand here.
Tonight was a big blow to her. There are so many beautiful women in Hengdian, and many people were vying for a role with lines. This role was secured for her by her agent with great difficulty.
Being kicked out of the crew just like that, she was not only sad but also unwilling to accept it.
But what else can we do besides accepting reality?
Zhang Yang couldn't help her. Seeing that she was wearing the clothes of a palace maid, he came up with an idea and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Xia Xueqi, what's yours?"
"My name is Zhang Yang, you can call me Xiao Yangzi."
"Xiao Yangzi? Why does it sound like a eunuch?" Xia Xueqi stopped sobbing, looked at him curiously and asked.
"Don't play the role of a palace maid tonight, play the role of a princess. Xiao Yangzi pays his respects to Princess Qi~!" Zhang Yang bowed and made the gesture of a eunuch paying his respects.
His movements were really like those of a little eunuch. Xia Xueqi's tears were still on her face, and she was laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.
Zhang Yang continued, "Xiao Yangzi respectfully sends Princess Qi back home." After saying that, he stretched out the back of his hand for her to hold.
Xia Xueqi suppressed her laughter and cleared her throat: "Let's go~!"
Zhang Yang sent Xia Xueqi all the way from the set back to her rental house.
An older sister came down into the rental house. Her name was Chen Ying. She was Xia Xueqi’s agent and also her cousin.
After meeting the two of them, she thought Zhang Yang was Xia Xueqi's boyfriend and didn't treat him well at all.
After finding out the situation, her attitude towards Zhang Yang became much better.
Before parting, Xia Xueqi asked Zhang Yang for his WeChat and asked if he could come and accompany her tomorrow.
At that time, Shi Yuxuan went home for summer vacation, and he had nothing to do. He had originally planned to play in Hengdian for two days, so he agreed without thinking.
The next day, Zhang Yang came to accompany Xia Xueqi as agreed. He never expected that Xia Xueqi was actually an extremely beautiful girl.
She has a very recognizable appearance, with red lips, white teeth, a pair of beautiful eyes, and a pretty crescent-shaped smile. Her slightly chubby face looks tender and fresh, and there are two shallow dimples on both cheeks.
She said she came to relax, but in fact Chen Ying arranged interviews for her with two film crews, and Zhang Yang accompanied her both times.
But unfortunately, although Xia Xueqi is very beautiful, she only graduated from high school and is not a performing arts major.
Her acting skills were relatively poor, and the role that Chen Ying arranged for her to interview was for a relatively large crew with high requirements, so she ended up not passing the interview.
After a day of setbacks, the two returned to Xia Xueqi's place, and she began to feel a little depressed again.
Chen Ying tried various methods to comfort her, but she seemed unable to be happy. After all, continuous blows could easily make people depressed.
Seeing this, Zhang Yang performed a COSPLAY of Xiao Yangzi and Qi Gege for her, which made Xia Xueqi laugh again and she felt much better.
It was at that moment that Chen Ying's eyes lit up, as if she had found a key, and an idea came into her mind.
That night, Chen Ying contacted Zhang Yang and asked him out alone.
Chen Ying had a serious look on her face, and the first question she asked was whether Zhang Yang was interested in Xia Xueqi.
Of course Zhang Yang said no, he was just trying to comfort her out of kindness. They were just friends who met by chance, and he had to go back to school soon, so he couldn't possibly stay here.
After confirming that Zhang Yang had no intentions towards Xia Xueqi, Chen Ying boldly asked Zhang Yang if he could be Xia Xueqi's long-term bootlicker?
It turned out that she was very optimistic about her cousin Xia Xueqi, thinking that she had great qualities and would definitely become famous in the future as long as she was patiently cultivated, so she was willing to spend time and money on her.
But she is just a 19-year-old girl, who is more emotional. Her acting skills are better when she is in a good state, but she can easily fail when she is in a bad state.
If she wants to develop in this industry for a long time, there must be someone who can support her emotionally from time to time, which is very important to her.
If she finds a boyfriend, she will be easily distracted, not to mention acting, and might even get into a lot of trouble.
But it would be a different story if Zhang Yang could be a long-term bootlicker by her side.
He can constantly provide Xia Xueqi with emotional value, so that she can be happy when she is feeling down, have someone to encourage her when she is having difficulties, and have someone to share her happiness with her when she is happy.
In this way, Xia Xueqi not only has motivation in her acting career, but also reduces her need for a boyfriend. It's perfect.
Zhang Yangjue knew that he was good at expressing his emotions. If he could help Xia Xueqi and make money at the same time, that would definitely be a good thing.
So he and Chen Ying hit it off and signed a dog-licking contract.
It has to be said that Chen Ying is an agent with a sharp eye.
The next day, Zhang Yang left Hengdian early. Of course, he also began to become Xia Xueqi's spiritual partner through WeChat.
For a period of time thereafter, Xia Xueqi's acting career was not going well. She had no mentor, encountered unspoken rules, had NGs during filming, and messed up her performance. All kinds of things happened to her, and she was often depressed.
But fortunately she has Zhang Yang.
Every night, Zhang Yang would chat with her on the phone, letting her vent her grievances, encouraging her, telling her jokes, even dirty stories.
Zhang Yang would occasionally give her some advice on her performance. After all, he also made a living from acting and had a lot of practical experience.
If it weren't for Zhang Yang's encouragement, Xia Xueqi might have given up acting long ago under the harsh reality.
This situation continued, and they never met each other because they lived in different cities.
But things changed six months after they met.
