The history of struggle for foundation in the entertainment industry

"Liangliang." Even though he had laughed enough today, when he knew who the other party was, Tang Jinnian smiled from the bottom of his heart, and went to pick up the car while making the phone call.

There was a "hey" over there, and said, "Sooner or later, I will be called out by you for a few years."

The person on the other end of the phone was Song Liang, Tang Jinnian's high school classmate, who had repeated his studies with Tang Jinnian for a year because his father was investigated for corruption. His parents named him "Liang", but he was very bad. Known as the little bully in middle and high school at that time, the name "Liangliang" was first called out by Tang Jinnian, and then it was extended to Liangliang, and everyone called it Liangliang Song Niangniang.Over the years, because of his father's affairs, he has disappeared for many years, and has been in contact with Tang Jinnian intermittently. Every time, he takes the initiative to contact Tang Jinnian, and no one else can find him.

"how are things?"

"It's not bad." A man in military green casual attire walked out from behind the container in the corner, and looked towards Tang Jinnian with a smile while holding his mobile phone.

"Fuck." Tang Jinnian really didn't expect it, hung up the phone and stood there for a long time, strode forward, and hugged Song Liang.

"Hey, don't hug, don't rely on me to always take advantage of this before I grow up."

Tang Jinnian let go of Song Liang, squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully in the shadow of the afternoon sun: "How long have you been gone?"

Song Liang said carelessly: "Only ten years?"

"..." Tang Jinnian slapped him on the back of the head, but Song Liang raised his hand to hold him back, and they walked towards the car together.

From the Harley motorcycle in high school to the current off-road motorcycle, Song Liang can still recognize Tang Jinnian's car at a glance among many private cars, "Why is it always the most flamboyant one?"

"Get out." The two opened the doors from both sides and got into the car.

Song Liangdao: "Go to the city center and put me down."

Tang Jinnian glanced sideways at him, but said nothing.Song Liang didn't speak either.Turn off-road and drive out of this warehouse.

He wanted to leave, but Tang Jinnian couldn't stop him, he was silent for a while, and had to talk as usual.

Talk casually and ask how the other person is doing.Soon arrived in the city center, Song Liang was about to get off the car, Tang Jinnian found a place nearby to put him down, saw an underground garage, and drove straight down.

It was very dark in the garage, and the two sat on the seats.Tang Jinnian turned to look at him and said, "You shouldn't be responsible for the mistakes your father made."

There was no beginning or end to the sentence, but both of them knew what he was talking about.Song Liang thought for a while and said, "Help me find someone, Kou Feiyan."

Tang Jinnian heard the name a little familiar, and remembered that it was a famous beautiful girl in their class in high school: "What's the matter?"

Song Liang was silent for a moment, and said: "Recently, the Commission for Discipline Inspection has come to investigate me again, and she may be required to testify at that time."

"Understood." Tang Jinnian nodded and wrote down the name "Is she in the local area?"

Song Liang said with a half-smile, "I've become an actor, and I became popular a few years ago."

Tang Jinnian's expression became a little complicated. He knew that Song Liang already knew about his recent activities, but he didn't expect that Song Liang had disappeared for a long time, but the news was so well-informed.He didn't think much about it, and promised, "I'll try."

Tang Jinnian usually says that when he tries, it means that he has promised and will do it.Song Liang heaved a sigh of relief, opened the door and got out of the car.

Tang Jinnian got out of the car and gave him a bank card. Song Liang pinched the card between his fingers and pushed it back. He rubbed his fingers jokingly: "The supermarket shopping card is enough."

"..." Tang Jinnian rummaged through it casually, and actually found two thousand-yuan supermarket shopping cards in his trouser pockets. Song Liang didn't refuse this time, and took them directly.

The two were relatively silent.After being quiet for a while, Song Liang smiled and pushed Tang Jinnian's chest: "Are you married yet?"

Tang Jinnian looked at him indifferently: "Don't pretend to be like uncle, don't you know everything?"

Song Liang shrugged and scoffed at him again: "Why don't you get married at such an old age?"

Tang Jinnian didn't answer, he didn't know the answer himself.Song Liang said: "Let's go."

Tang Jinnian stood there thinking about something, and waited for Song Liang to get up from the underground garage before he got into the driver's seat, got out of the parking lot, swiped his card, and drove to the company.

Feng Rui said there was a meeting at 58:[-], and it was already [-]:[-] when Tang Jinnian arrived at Neptune.I took the elevator all the way up to the meeting room on the top floor and it was [-]:[-] - I was late.

For a newcomer, this is not a good phenomenon. Fortunately, everyone has not arrived yet. Only Rong An, Feng Rui and some strangers are present.

Rong An looked very busy, even if he was sitting here waiting for someone, he still held an electronic notepad in his hand, without blinking his eyes, and swiped his fingers quickly.

Tang Jinnian pushed open the glass door, and several people looked up at him, some nodded at him, and some ignored it after a glance, and lowered their heads to play with their phones.Everyone is playing with mobile phones, the student party, the office workers, and even these people who seem to have a very colorful life are also playing, but their clothes are more refined, their makeup is perfect, and they wear framed glasses.

Tang Jinnian walked in, looked at Feng Rui's signal eyes, found a seat and sat down.

Rong An, who was holding the PDA, said without raising his head, "You should go to the regular meeting of newcomers instead of the mid-level meeting here."

Before Tang Jinnian could respond, Yan Tiannan opened the door and walked in: "He is the center of this meeting, of course he is qualified to participate."

Only then did Rong An look up from the PDA, saw Yan Tiannan, pushed his glasses, and put the electronic notepad by his hand, without saying anything, looking neither humble nor overbearing.

Yan Tiannan walked behind Tang Jinnian and said, "But you also have to go to the regular meeting of the newcomers downstairs. You can go after the meeting here."

Tang Jinnian nodded in understanding.

Yan Tiannan sat at the head of the long conference table and said: "Let me introduce to you, this is our new member of Neptune, Tang Jinnian, who is now focusing on film and television and music, participated in the filming of Director Zhang Zhihui Zhang's latest play, and played the leading role. "

Scattered applause resounded in the meeting room. Tang Jinnian was half-lying on the soft chair. Yan Tiannan hadn't informed the purpose of the meeting before, so he didn't react until now, and sat up without blushing. , straightened his back, and looked serious.

Several people on the opposite side took the initiative to shake hands with him.

"Jia Ze, from the Corporate Propaganda Department." "I'm Shao Mingfeng, music director."

Tang Jinnian stood up and shook hands one by one.

This time, Yan Tiannan only called the manager and public relations related to Tang Jinnian's activities in a short period of time. Tang Jinnian's identity as an artist has only become official since today.

Yan Tiannan said: "The company intends to combine his debut with the launch and broadcast of Director Zhang Zhihui's new film. I will communicate with Zhang Zhihui. Before that, there is no need to disclose any information to unnecessary people. Do whatever else you want Do it, business as usual."

The meeting ended soon, and Yan Tiannan still had something to discuss with other company executives, the music director and others watched the new actor who had been hidden in Yan Tiannan's golden house for a month in their eyes go out and take the elevator downstairs.

Feng Rui showed Tang Jinnian the way, and came down with him to attend the occasional regular meeting of the Newcomers of the Sea Emperor.

Neptune belongs to an entertainment company that integrates film, television and music. There are not a few artists under its umbrella. It has more than a dozen first-line actors and singers. It is also generous to recruit new players every year. It can choose as few as ten or as many as twenty with potential. Newcomers enter the company to sign a contract and arrange their debut. Everything is like a specific procedure, but the appearance of Tang Jinnian broke this procedure.

The newcomer must be late.When Feng Rui appeared with Tang Jinnian, it was very eye-catching. All of you here are newcomers who have just signed a contract for a few months. The rookies brought into the company were naturally mentioned a lot, and the rookies and artists turned their heads to look at him.

Tang Jinnian didn't know that in this building he had already been labeled as "owned by Mr. Yan". A group of people were sitting around on a group of fabric sofas. Nodding: "Sorry, I'm late." Then she flipped up her long coat and sat down on the sofa at the far end.Feng Rui went to the lounge at the corner, where the assistants gather.

The leader froze for a moment, and asked, "Are you?"

Feng Rui, who was watching the match with a cup of coffee not far away, was extremely nervous.

Hearing this, Tang Jinnian raised his eyes and said, "Are you guys introducing yourself?"

All the newcomers were quiet, watching the fire from the other side, a little at a loss, watching the changes.Among the newcomers, there are many who have strong backgrounds and are arrogant and surly, but the surly ones are often not smart, and the smart ones know that they should not be surly.Of course, there are also arrogant and smart ones, but Mr. Yan's new lover doesn't look like this.Unexpectedly, this person looked indifferent and expressionless, but after being embarrassed by the smiling tiger pretending to be stupid, he did not show any weakness, and his words were to the point.

Asking who Tang Jinnian was, this person was the supervisor in charge of the newcomers of the Sea Emperor in recent years. He realized that Tang Jinnian was not easy to provoke, so he subtly removed his edge and said, "No." Then he smiled and asked everyone, jokingly: " All of us here are adults, do we still need to introduce ourselves?"

The newcomers laughed in agreement.

The leader turned his head and said, "Hi, I'm Li Bocheng, the new supervisor."

Tang Jinnian nodded slightly and said, "Tang Jinnian."

Li Bocheng wisely stopped bringing the topic to Tang Jinnian and continued the meeting.

The main purpose of the regular meeting for newcomers is to talk about the unspoken rules in the industry... not the unspoken rules, but how to answer reporters' questions, attitude towards fans, how to adjust your mentality, etc., and talk about finding boyfriends and girlfriends When asking questions, Li Bocheng reminded newcomers that if they currently have boyfriends or girlfriends, they should explain to their assistants or managers, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the circle.

He joked: "Are there any people here who are already married?"

Most of these newcomers are only between 24 and [-], and they are in this industry. When asked this question, they all find it ridiculous, and they look at each other and burst out laughing.Tang Jinnian seemed out of place. Thinking about Yan Tiannan's plan to debut in Zhang Zhihui's new play, Zhang Zhihui would rather have poor crew conditions than someone intervene in his work because of sponsorship, and would tolerate Yan Tiannan's proposal to negotiate?

However, at this time, someone did not forget him, and surrounded him and asked, "Are you married?"

"..." Tang Jinnian's birthday just passed, he was often ridiculed when he said in his circle of friends that he wasn't married, but now it's the other way around, he said, "Do you look like I'm married?"

The newcomer was stunned for a moment, originally teasing him that he was older than them, but now when he was asked back, he looked like he was not joking. Due to his lack of social experience, he was not used to it and dared not laugh at him face to face. what to say.

Tang Jinnian didn't care about him, and said to himself, "It's not over."

The man laughed dryly a few times, was scared away, and squeezed to sit with his friend.

Tang Jinnian looked out of the floor-to-ceiling windows with several people in between, with a very lonely look in his eyes.Normally, he might still tease that child, but today he just met his old friend before joining the company, and now the brothers and friends who were good friends at the beginning are all attached to their wives, or they are raising children, real children.Friends have long gathered less and separated more, no longer the crazy intimacy of the past, the unmarried one just arrived, stayed for more than 20 minutes and then left in a hurry, and now the surroundings are full of little kids, the emotions naturally fell to the bottom, Darkly sad.

Outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows, the sun has already set and the sky is getting dark.

"Handsome guy, can I sit next to you? I went to the toilet and came back and there is no seat."

A little beauty strikes up a conversation, although it is not the type he likes, Tang Jinnian is happy again.

When I got home at night, I threw my coat on the sofa, and I turned on the TV to watch a movie without changing my clothes.From the corner of the eye, I saw the bedroom door being slightly pushed open, and a small figure ran out with small steps.

Tang Jinnian leaned over and stretched out his hand to it: "Girl, come here, daddy hugs."

The Chihuahua stopped walking, looked up at him with wide eyes for a while, then turned around and walked upstairs without paying attention.

"..." Tang Jinnian got up from the sofa and was about to go upstairs.The Chihuahua didn't seem to expect this. Hearing the footsteps behind him, the little paws pawed at the stairs faster and tried to go upstairs faster. However, it was too small, and it was difficult to climb the steps that were about as high as itself.

Its speed was getting slower and slower. When Tang Jinnian came to it, the little guy had already shrunk in the corner, watching him carefully, for fear of being trampled flat.

Tang Jinnian picked it up with one hand, and carried it upstairs, preparing to go back to the master bedroom and continue watching TV in bed.

While hugging the dog, the phone rang, and Tang Jinnian came down again to pick up the phone from the coffee table.

It was Zhang Zhihui who informed him that the plan had been changed and the trial filming was cancelled, and the official filming would start directly from tomorrow. He planned to release the pilot episode in half a month.

It seems that Yan Tiannan's persuasion succeeded, Tang Jinnian agreed, Zhang Zhihui said: "How tall are you? How much do you weigh?"

Tang Jinnian: "?"

He said: "I haven't measured it for a few years, height 180, weight about 140?"

"Not bad." Zhang Zhihui commented, and then gave him a difficult task: lose weight.Lose weight, preferably to one hundred and thirty-five, and keep your abs.

Tang Jinnian: "..."

Tang Jinnian agreed, hung up the phone and went to the kitchen.Mince the meat, steam the rice, cut two or three celery into small pieces and cook, stir-fry the minced meat without salt, and finally chop the steamed rice, celery, and minced meat together and put them in a bowl.The Chihuahua squatted at his feet, looking up at him with bright eyes.Tang Jinnian walked around the kitchen and would step on it if he didn't pay attention. Now he took a small bowl and drove it out: "Go outside to eat."

Putting the bowl on the floor of the dining room, Tang Jinnian stood and watched it eat it for a while, thinking about it, then ran upstairs, hooked up the weighing scale from the gym, took off the sweater and slippers, and went on the scale by himself. It shows 73 kilograms, 140 six catties.

"..." There is no need to think about ordering takeaway. Tang Jinnian took a sip of warm water, turned on the treadmill and started exercising at night.

Chihuahua ate downstairs for a while, ran up to find the gym, and squatted by the treadmill to watch him.Tang Jinnian stopped the machine casually, panted and threw it on the bed to lie on his stomach, then turned on the treadmill to continue.

Four or ten minutes later, the Chihuahua ran to the floor-to-ceiling windows next to the foot of the bed, growled a few times in a high-pitched voice, and threatened the people downstairs.

Tang Jinnian squinted his eyes and found that it was Yan Tiannan, so he raised his hand to signal that his daughter was fine, the Chihuahua looked at him suspiciously, and then looked at Yan Tiannan through the window glass, his roar gradually died down, and he whimpered a few times.

Yan Tiannan should have just come back from talking with Zhang Zhihui, standing downstairs with a suit jacket on his hands, looking up at the window on the second floor where Tang Jinnian was.

Tang Jinnian was only wearing a black vest, his hair was dripping, he didn't bother to call or go downstairs to talk to him, he just ran and looked at him, panting heavily.

Yan Tiannan didn't stay for long, knowing that he was losing weight, he waved hello and went back to his home.

On the first night, Tang Jinnian ran for an hour, couldn't hold on anymore, was very hungry, went to take a shower, then lay on the bed wrapped in a quilt and watched a movie while watching the script, fell asleep within half an hour after watching it.
