I'm full of rebellion against fate
Chapter 45: Entertainment Industry Canary
Chang Ningchen opened his eyes and sat up from the comfortable bed. He chose a text that was more favorable to Dongfang He. Dongfang He would definitely choose the domineering president, and since he was a small star, he only needed to show his face more in the TV series and then make some secret codes between them, and they would definitely recognize each other soon!
"bell!"
Just then, Chang Ningchen's phone rang. As soon as he answered the phone, a man on the other end yelled at him fiercely, "Big star Bai! You've been late paying the rent for several months! When are you going to pay this year's rent?..."
Huh?! Celebrities can't pay their rent?! What celebrity clothes am I wearing?! Chang Ningchen pondered this with a confused look on his face, and then he coaxed his landlord to give him a few days' notice. Then he hung up the phone and asked the system for his identity information in this world. The information the system gave him made him feel a little suffocated.
Bai Chen is a little-known star on the 18th line. He is loved by everyone because he has starred in a popular drama and has a pretty face. Although he looks good, his acting skills are not good. He is still praised by people who like him. They feel that even if he stands there and does nothing, he can bring top traffic, and his acting skills are also top-notch.
His premature fame led to him being flattered by those around him, and coupled with his acquired unwillingness to work hard and study hard, he ran out of resources when he was older. Directors felt that his popularity was not as high as before, and that he was expensive and had poor acting skills. There were also many people who were better looking than him, so they didn't want to look for him at all.
When his finances gradually became tight, he finally thought about taking on acting roles. But after searching around for directors, no one was willing to take him. If he compared his fame to the other person, the director would say his acting wasn't as good. If he compared his popularity to the other person, the director would say the other person was cheaper. If he compared his looks to the other person, the director would say the other person was younger... After a day of running around, Bai Chen was furious.
The directors' subtext was that he was old, had no acting skills, and was out of fashion! This aroused Chang Ningchen's competitive spirit. He had to film a movie no matter what, right?! If he didn't film, he would starve to death! This system task also restricted his employment opportunities, preventing him from doing work unrelated to the entertainment industry.
Zhang Cheng, the agent who saw his predicament, also knew that no director wanted Bai Chen to film a movie now. If Bai Chen was willing to spend money, he might be able to get a marginal role to play, but Zhang Cheng was so poor now that he probably couldn't even pay the rent, so he could only give Bai Chen bad advice.
Zhang Cheng said, "Bai Chen! These days, what's most in demand are popular stars. Since no one has acting skills, directors definitely want young stars with a lot of popularity. If you have money, you can even write, direct, and act in your own show..."
Chang Ningchen's face was full of black lines. If he had money, he would use it to buy himself a role, but now he has nothing!
Zhang Cheng whispered, "Generally speaking, in this situation, you can take a side path..."
Chang Ningchen heard the hidden meaning in Zhang Cheng's words, which meant that he was going to start pimping, and this was also the fastest way for him to get in touch with rich people. After three minutes of silence, he agreed, but also attached a condition: the sponsor he wanted must be the president!
Although Zhang Cheng agreed with a smile on his face, he was thinking: The president is sitting at the table, and you are the one who is served at the table, so you won't be able to choose when the time comes.
After getting himself ready in the evening, Chang Ningchen followed Zhang Cheng to a luxurious club. On the way, there were all kinds of beautiful and handsome men and women in the club. Chang Ningchen then realized that he might not even be a good match.
Looking at the wealthy sponsors in the box with bulging bellies and malicious intentions, Chang Ningchen sat aside as a background. The men and women who wanted resources and were better looking than him took the initiative to surround the sponsor. He couldn't even squeeze in over there, so he might as well sit aside and eat some fruit.
Dongfang He definitely wasn't among the people today. Chang Ningchen left the box thinking of this. He was now in a situation where he had no movies to shoot and no money. He was so frustrated! His main task now was to find a sponsor within three days. Failure would result in him sleeping on the streets.
How about just following a random sponsor first? And then changing after finding Dongfang He? Chang Ningchen thought about it and felt that this method was not a bad idea! Besides, he could cook and wash clothes, and he was good-looking, so he could work part-time as a nanny in the sponsor's house!
Chang Ningchen asked the system, "Isn't it that I'm doing something unrelated to my job if I try to curry favor with my sponsor? I'm working part-time without a salary, as long as they can invest in me making a movie. Does that count as running an entertainment business, right?!"
The system was a bit speechless. It wanted to complain that even rich families don't lack nannies! It told him to finish the task first, so it said, "Dear, yes! What you said does not violate the task regulations."
After making up his mind to kidnap a rich man tonight, Chang Ningchen wandered around with great enthusiasm. During this time, he helped a rich woman find her lost cat. The rich woman invited him to her box and wanted to reward him.
Chang Ningchen replied righteously: "This is what I should do, no need to thank me!" Then he continued to look for the sponsor.
The system saw this scene and wanted to complain: Isn't this rich woman a sponsor?! You can get her if you follow her!
Not long after, Chang Ningchen met an old man who suddenly fell ill. He was dressed very decently, but he fell to the ground and looked very uncomfortable. There was an unopened bottle of medicine on the ground. Because he was in a remote place, no one noticed this.
Fortunately, the bored Chang Ningchen was wandering around and happened to see this situation. He quickly fed the old man some medicine and only planned to leave after he was fine.
The old man said: "Young man, you saved my life. I can grant you one wish..."
This old man turned out to be the human version of the dragon. He might also be sick and a little confused. Chang Ningchen thought about it and answered very seriously: "I hope there will be world peace."
The old man was shocked after hearing this. When he came to his senses, he found that Chang Ningchen had left.
The system screamed in its mind: Ahhh! This old man looks very rich! Don't think he's a sponsor just because he's old!
In the second half of the night, he also helped a little-known star who was looking for a sponsor like him. The man was more handsome than him and was wearing all branded clothes. Chang Ningchen didn't know what movies or TV series he had starred in.
Looking at the man's good looks, he thought he must be a colleague, just that he was a little directionally challenged and too shy to ask for directions. Seeing this, Chang Ningchen took the man and led him to the box, told the man to have fun, and then left.
When the system saw the black and gold VIP sign in the box, it thought this guy might not be Chang Ningchen's colleague, but a wild, incomplete little boss. Chang Ningchen, with his poor eyesight, directly mistook him for a colleague. I was speechless, I felt so aggrieved! I really wanted to complain!
At this moment, Chang Ningchen saw a tall, handsome, wealthy-looking man walking over. His eyes were fixed on the man. This man must be the boss!!!
After the system read Chang Ningchen's thoughts, it finally couldn't help but complain: "You're not looking for a sponsor, you're looking for a domineering CEO?!!"
