Chinese entertainment: Top stars start with group broadcasts

32172.55 yuan!

Withdraw cash.

Not long after, I received a message from the bank.

【建设银行】您尾号XXXX的储蓄卡11月7日11时12分转帐存入华币32172.55元，活期余额32672.55元。

After transferring the money via mobile phone, he called Dr. Huang again, but this time no one answered.

"They must be having surgery!"

"The short drama will take another four or five days, and it should bring in eight or nine thousand."

"Old Shen's surgery is in 55 days, which is just the right time according to my plan."

Looking at the memo dated January 1, 2022 on the calendar, he felt tense and heavy-hearted.

Then I opened the memo app.

Xi'an Instrument & Meter Co., Ltd. (November 21)

I tapped the key again and wrote down three words.

Three sheep and a horse!

As his memories of Xiyi Co., Ltd. grew, he also began to think of this company.

As I recall, this company also experienced a significant price increase during this period, but I can't pinpoint the exact time.

"Take your time, don't rush!"

"Make money first! Make money!"

He gently comforted himself, trying to relax so that his brain could remember more easily.

He now regrets that he should have used all ten attribute points to go for Spirit.

In this way, he can memorize it quickly.

Compared to poverty, physical health is insignificant.

But now, he's caught in a vicious cycle.

His goal is to make money by speculating in stocks. To make money, he needs to continuously improve his abilities, which requires him to spend the money.

But once he'd spent the money, he wouldn't have any left to invest in stocks.

As time drew closer, he grew increasingly anxious.

[The host has spent 32000 yuan, which can be exchanged for 32 skill points. Do you wish to exchange?]

"exchange!"

"Let's add dance to everything!"

Tonight's live stream made him realize the importance of dance.

Or rather, the money-making power of live streaming.

Name: Shen Mo

Age: 22

[Constitution: 14 (Full of energy, feels like he could kill a bull with one punch)]

[Spirit: 9 (Eyes sparkle, energetic young man)]

[Charm: 11 (Eye-catching Expert)]

【Skill】

[Dance 59 (proficient, with many unique perspectives and ideas on dance), Singing 3 (barely listenable, disliked in karaoke), Lying 62 (full of lies, extremely persuasive), Facial Expression Control 82 (skilled, able to control it with ease)]

After a simple jump, I found that the movements that had felt awkward before suddenly became smooth.

I randomly picked a dance blogger on Douyin.

After watching it only twice, he had a complete grasp of the rhythm, movements, and which muscles to use in this brand-new dance.

You'll get it after watching it twice!

At only 59, he's already this amazing; what will he be like when he reaches 100?

After finishing my work, I restored the apartment living room to its original state, put on my down jacket, and left the apartment.

Chengdu at 11 a.m. is far more bustling than during the day.

The roadside food stalls, hot pot restaurants, and skewer shops were bustling with activity.

I randomly picked a noodle shop, slurped down two ounces of beef noodles, hailed a taxi, and headed towards Fanxing Village.

The intensity of filming short dramas far exceeded expectations.

Previously, because he was a newcomer, director Liu Qing was unsure of his abilities, so he had fewer scenes scheduled for him.

After two days, once he got a clear picture of the situation, his acting skills improved exponentially.

Considering that he was there to save the day and had his own job, Liu Qing was quite accommodating to him at the food stall.

For a complete newcomer, this is already an extremely favorable treatment.

Who can blame him for being so handsome!

We finished filming all the bed scenes and kissing scenes a couple of days ago. Next, it will all be scenes with several other actors.

When he arrived at Fanxing Village, they were filming Zhu Manli's scenes. During a break, he fell asleep on the sofa next to him.

"Teacher Shen! Teacher Shen!"

I was groggily woken up, checked my phone, and it was 1:43 a.m.

While I was asleep, my foundation was already applied.

"It's your turn."

Shen Mo responded twice, and the makeup artist next to him immediately went all out.

I never imagined that I would be called "teacher" one day.

"The lines are fine, but add some emotion! This is Lin Xueyao, the one who dumped you, why are you giving her such a hard time!"

"Move aside, move aside, you're blocking someone's way."

"Why are you looking at the camera with your profile showing? Are you filming a documentary?"

"Shen Mo, are you made of wood? What are you standing there for!"

"Forget it, let's take a ten-minute break. This is a waste of time!"

really!

Every director has a good temper.

"Manli, could you give Shen Mo some acting advice? But never mind, let's just talk about the blocking and basic principles first."

"Okay, Director," Zhu Manli replied.

She turned around and stuck her tongue out at him.

"I'm sorry to have taken up your time."

Shen Mo felt very embarrassed.

He knew the director was rushing to meet deadlines, and he was rushing to meet deadlines himself.

Some things, you just can't do.

"Your lines and acting are actually fine, the main problem is your blocking..."

This guy only knows how to do kissing scenes!

Zhu Manli was speechless.

What kind of monster is this guy?

His delivery of lines was mature, his control over his facial expressions was first-rate, and his entire performance was smooth and natural.

Don't underestimate this point; many actors who have been in the industry for over ten years may not be able to do it.

But this one person kept blocking the camera or his co-stars during filming, and would even occasionally look at the camera.

Let alone Liu Qing, anyone would go crazy if they came here!

"Okay! Let's continue!"

"Get yourself ready, and try again!"

……

Filming began at night and continued until 12:30 PM, by which time most of his scenes had been filmed.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone!"

"Thank you for your hard work, director!"

"Stop with that. Go back and digest what you've learned today, and try to finish filming your part in two days."

A film can be shot in four or five days.

It sounds terrifying, but in the short drama industry, it's quite common.

I slept all the way to the company by taxi.

"Silence, silence!"

As soon as I joined the company, Gu Qingqing approached me.

"You have two hours of rehearsal time this afternoon, in rehearsal room number three."

"One session from 3:30 to 6:00, using D1 livestream room to drive traffic, the center position."

"A show from 6:45 to 10:30, supporting role."

"A show tomorrow morning from 6:30 to 10:00, seats to be determined."

"So full?"

Shen Mo was shocked.

It's not that he lacks self-confidence.

The main thing is that each family knows its own situation.

The miraculous C contract, with an 8-month contract period, is disgusting in terms of its time design.

His contract was about to expire.

Currently, the live streamers on Douyin can be roughly divided into three categories.

These are self-made streamers with no resources or connections, relying solely on their talent to shine. Once they reach a few thousand or even tens of thousands of followers, they seize the opportunity to sell themselves for a good price.

Of course, there are also those who rely on their talent and ability to become bloggers with millions of followers, and some of them even start their own companies.

Secondly, there's signing with a guild. A guild is essentially an intermediary company that signs streamers, negotiates resources, and then takes a commission. This is also one of the ways many independent streamers can make a living.

Finally, there are MCN companies like Miracle Media, which are more profitable than guilds.

It was started by a big shot with resources. Based on the guild's money-making model, they directly signed streamers and cultivated them as artists, so the profits were naturally greater.

Shen Mo was originally the son of Miracle Media, and signed with NiuMa.

Even after committing suicide, Wu Qiang was still afraid!

They wanted him to leave immediately.

I'm terrified of being scammed!

"I'll tell you quietly, but don't tell anyone I told you," Gu Qingqing said mysteriously.

Ha ha!

"It seems like it was Sister Lin who fought for it. I was working overtime last night and I heard Sister Lin and General Manager Wu having a big argument in the office."

"Because of me?" Shen Mo asked in surprise.

My first reaction was disbelief.

Who do you think you are?

Who is Chen Lin? She's all about money; she's willing to turn against her boss for her own sake.

unless……

Shen Mo had a guess in his mind, and just needed to confirm it.

"What else? Keep it up!" Gu Qingqing turned around and went to attend to other things.

As the operations manager for Miracle-Training Question H, when there are no live streams, she is also busy organizing materials, managing the community, preparing promotional materials, and coordinating rehearsal rooms...

Nominally, it's operations, but in reality, it's being a nanny and a beast of burden, doing everything.

Rehearsal room.

"One tap... two taps... three taps... legs push, waist twist..."

Compared to last time, there were far fewer people practicing dance this time.

Including him, there are only 9 in total.

"So fast!"

Even he, who had been there for more than half a year, couldn't help but be surprised.

Everything feels like it's speeding up.

Short dramas are rushing to meet deadlines, and the elimination of newcomers in group broadcasts is also accelerating; everyone is on these two fast-paced, unstoppable trains.

"Shen Mo, come on, center position."

Bai Zhe saw him and spoke up immediately.

Damn it, aren't you just making yourself a target of hatred?

To everyone's surprise, the people next to them not only didn't mock them, but instead had an expression of taking it for granted.

What's going on?

Shen Mo didn't refuse again and stood directly in the middle, targeting Ken.

During the hour-long rehearsal, Ken became increasingly anxious as he taught.

Is this kid cheating?

He used to be a terrible person with poor coordination. Although he improved, he was still at a normal level.

But today, he went straight for the enemy's face and unleashed his ultimate attack.

Many dances are easy to learn, and some even have their moves modified, yet the results are surprisingly good.

"Keep up, one tap-tap... two tap-tap..."

"Explosive power, don't be effeminate... Watch Shen Mo, follow Shen Mo's movements..."

"Are your brains filled with shit?"

"Take a five-minute break, then there are seven or eight more to go."

"what!"

Instantly, the rehearsal room was filled with cries of anguish.

After Ken walked out, Bai Zhe, Li Rui, and the other guys ran straight up to him.

"Brother Mo, hurry up and teach me a couple of tricks!"

"You're amazing! You took down our entire regiment all by yourself."

"Where did you find such a great older sister? Could you teach my little brother a trick or two? I'm also missing an older sister..."

……
