When Chen Ziyan was worried about Zhang Ruozhi's balance between work and study, He Sha was even worse.
Her current situation is very embarrassing.
Originally, several scripts were submitted, and one of them was already under contract. However, rumors that Northern Lights Video had banned her spread in the industry, resulting in all of the collaborations being inquired about. termination.
"Are all these dramas going to be sold to Northern Lights Video? Are all other video platforms dead?" He Sha asked her agent angrily.
Her agent: "...Don't worry, we have signed a cooperation agreement with Lighthouse Video, and there will be Lighthouse Video projects for us later."
He Sha turned a deaf ear: "Haven't we all apologized to Northern Lights? They all accepted our apology at that time, why are they still pursuing us?"
"They accepted it, but those The production company doesn't know yet." The agent could only explain, "Besides, Zhou Ping'an has been adding fuel to the fire."
"It's him again!" He Sha scolded.
"Zhou Ping'an is a person who spends every penny." The manager said, "I told you when you decided to do that on the show."
"He has neither Li Zhibai nor Ma Zhiyuan now. Does Yan Liang give him such capital and ability to make everyone listen to him?" He Sha looked at her agent sideways, "Why can't you find a way? Tell him to stop?”
"If I can think of a way to make him stop, I will first think of a way to stop you from taking this black and red path." The agent said a little irritably, "Now that you have left, don't think about it. The best of both worlds, the Northern Lights video is definitely not going anywhere anytime soon Let it go, they also want to scare others in the industry, and they cannot condone this kind of behavior that is slapped on the nose by an artist. People accept our apology, but they will not continue to add insult to injury. Now we will do a good job in the lighthouse video "Director Please Enlightenment." 》This program , try to let everyone see your acting skills in this show."
After being refuted by her manager, He Sha became a little less arrogant, but she was still a little unconvinced. She curled her lips. Said: "This show, my show Who is this? Have you connected with them?”
“On-site extraction,” the agent said, “They will assign you the most topical scripts and let you choose from them. "
He Sha frowned immediately after hearing this.
“Why can’t it be decided now? Do we have to draw it on the spot?”
Agent: "They want serendipity and stories."
He Sha pouted.
“With your acting skills, there is nothing to worry about.” The agent said, “Many of the actors participating in the program "Director Please Advice" this time are young actors who have just debuted a few years ago. Your acting skills completely overwhelm them. If you get a significantly better treatment from the program team at this time, it will be easy for them to make a fuss and attack you."
He Sha thought about it and thought it made sense.
The fans of these young actors are as fierce as fighting cocks, so forget it.
Just crush them openly.
However, after a while, she reacted and asked: "Why are there so many young actors and idols? What is the positioning of this show?"
He Sha began to worry about this show again It may not be better than "The Birth of an Actor".
The agent took a deep breath.

"Cheng Hai was offered a male lead role, but Zhou Ping'an rejected it directly."
On the way to record the new episode of "The Birth of an Actor" program, Wang Biao told Lu Yanhe the news he heard .
Lu Yanhe was surprised and asked: "Is it because the script is too bad?"
Wang Biao: "I don't know if it's a problem with the script. Anyway, everyone is quite surprised, because even in "Actors" "The Birth" became popular, But in everyone's opinion, there are still very few scripts for Cheng Hai to play the leading role. Zhou Pingan refused this opportunity for some reason."
"Are everyone else questioning Zhou Pingan's decision? ?”
"Yes." Wang Biao nodded, "Some people even think that Yan Liang was dissatisfied with Chenghai's popularity, so he put pressure on Zhou Ping'an to prevent Chenghai from being exploded."
Lu Yanhe was happy.
He felt incredible.
“These people are really idle. Zhou Pingan’s vision for selecting scripts has been recognized by me, Sister Ziyan, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang. He may have flaws in other aspects. , in this regard, Sister Ziyan They all admire him."
Lu Yanhe was also a little confused. He didn't expect that he would speak for Zhou Pingan. He firmly believed that Zhou Pingan rejected the script of finding Chenghai for a reason. .
Unknowingly, many perceptions have changed. He smiled and came to his senses.
"Is this news only spreading within a small circle of your agents, or has it spread?" Lu Yanhe asked.
"It's being spread in a small area." Wang Biao thought for a while and said, "Actually, Yan Liang and Li Zhibai's contracts with Star Entertainment are about to expire. I think there may be a company that wants to poach people. , so he is deliberately causing trouble for Zhou Pingan."
Lu Yanhe suddenly realized.
Wang Biao reminded him that Li Zhibai and Yan Liang both had eight-year contracts. Time is almost up now. Will Li Zhibai and Yan Liang continue to renew their contracts with Star Entertainment?
Star Entertainment itself needs to adjust the company's business direction and positioning and separate actors and singer managers. It's just that if such a split is made, Star Entertainment's overall strength in the entertainment industry will definitely be cut off - companies that cannot coordinate packages and negotiate will always have fewer chips in their hands.
With the current development trend, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang need a strong brokerage company to help them continue to climb up. The adjustment of Star Entertainment will inevitably require a certain period of adjustment and chaos. Will they choose to stay in Star Entertainment?
Lu Yanhe has not heard Li Zhibai and Yan Liang talk about this matter, and he doesn't know if they have begun to think about it.
-
“Yan Liang, how have you considered the contract renewal?”
On this day, Zhou Pingan also raised this issue with Yan Liang.
"The company will set up a studio for you and form a dedicated team to take charge of your affairs." Zhou Ping'an said, "This is what you were concerned about before. I will take care of all the specific affairs here." Leave it to a dedicated person to help you with key tasks , Of course, you don’t have to worry about this team, I will train them well.”
Yan Liang said: “I heard that the company’s own business template and strategic direction will also be adjusted.”
"Yes, but this is also for the sake of excellence. "In this way, the big-pot management that has been criticized before can be improved," Zhou Ping'an explained, "In Star Entertainment, you and Li Zhibai are the two most popular niches. No one can compare with you two, and you The two of us have different acting styles and images, and there is not much competition. What I can guarantee you is that if you renew your contract with us, you will get the best treatment."
"In addition to setting up a studio, I didn't see any real treatment." Yan Liang shrugged.
Zhou Ping'an's tone was stagnant, and after a moment, he added: "The main reason is that you have two series of "Friends" and "Gold Rush" in your hands. You have no shortage of drama appointments, and business, you have also seen that I have been here for more than half a year. The results have been achieved. I even tore off two of the top luxury endorsements. As for the share, I already communicated with the company half a year ago and helped you sign a new contract. You are already enjoying first-line acting. "
"That's not what I'm talking about." Yan Liang looked at Zhou Pingan seriously and said, "Brother Pingan, I told you before that I hope you can help me every year. I will accept a literary film so that I can practice my acting skills, right?"
Zhou Pingan never thought that at such a time, Yan Liang would be talking about a literary film.
"Frankly speaking, when I made this request to you, I was inclined to renew my contract with you. However, after so long, I have not received a script for an art film." Yan Liang Say, "I'm not saying that my hesitation lies in the script of this art film, I'm just giving an example. I hope that the company, especially you, really pays attention to my needs and knows what my needs are. Compared with others Actor, I have a steady stream of series sequels on the market The risk assessment is smaller, and it is more conducive to the company's operation in the capital market. I will get the regular treatment of a first-line star in any company I go to, and you must know that Star Entertainment can give me the contract treatment that many companies You can give it to me. I don’t ask for more in terms of share and benefits because I hope you can provide real attention and support beyond the contract.”
Zhou Pingan worked hard to control it. His own expression of shock and disbelief.
Yan Liang's words really shocked him.
He already knew how much Yan Liang had changed in the past two years. But Zhou Ping'an never thought that Yan Liang, who usually never said anything, actually had very clear thoughts about the company and himself.
An actor should be emotional and selfless when performing, but when facing his own career path, he must be ambitious, or have no ambition at all. Once he is in the middle, it is difficult for him to become the most extreme kind of actor.
In Zhou Ping'an's mind, Yan Liang has always been one of those actors with low talent, clumsy temperament, and good fortune.
Zhou Pingan would not be surprised if Li Zhibai said these words to him, because Li Zhibai is usually a person with a very distinctive personality and a very sharp edge.
But Yan Liang was not. When he directly expressed his dissatisfaction and what he wanted, Zhou Ping'an realized that Yan Liang was actually just pretending to be a "selfless" person when he couldn't really be himself.
Vice President Ma does not believe that Yan Liang will be able to reach the level of a superstar one day. The company's efforts to attract and treat him are just to retain this actor who will still have huge commercial value in the next few years. Therefore, there will be no deep binding, nor will the company's resource circle be used to push him to higher heights.
Zhou Ping'an thought Yan Liang didn't know this. In fact, Yan Liang had already realized it, he just didn't say it.
-
“This time you starred in "Fake Death" was shortlisted for the main competition of the Jose Film Festival. You will compete with your good brother Lu Yanhe for the best actor. You and him Have you ever communicated about this in private? ”
Li Zhibai got out of the car and walked just a few meters to the hotel, but he was still blocked by media reporters who refused to let him go.
Since it was announced that both "Love Letter" and "Fake Death" were shortlisted for the main competition section of the Hollywood Film Festival, questions like this have been popping up one after another and have never stopped.
Many people actually can’t help but have an idea, that is, when faced with being harassed by media reporters, just answer their questions openly.
Actually, that's not the case. Just like if you feed a stray dog a sausage, it will not be satisfied and stop chasing you. On the contrary, it will miss you after eating a sausage from your hand. Because you're going to have sausages here.
This is the reason why Li Zhibai has been too lazy to answer such boring questions.
However, the more he didn't answer, the more people asked him, as if there was a shocking revelation behind his avoidance.
"..."
Li Zhibai said impatiently: "How can we communicate in private? Why do you care so much? Moreover, how can we communicate in such a nutritious way?" Question, do you care who wins the Best Actor award? We don’t care who wins it. If it’s really us, don’t you? You have to write about it, but do you have to report it? It’s as if the two of us communicate privately and the award is really chosen from the two of us.”
Lin Suyang followed Li Zhibai. Next to him, when he heard Li Zhibai's answer, his eyes darkened out of habit. He wanted to say something, opened his mouth, forget it, and gave up.
He is used to it. In front of the camera, he couldn't openly stop Li Zhibai from speaking. Moreover, Li Zhi had already said a hundred words, and it would be difficult to stop them. He had better think about how to deal with the impact of this incident later.
After entering the hotel, the media were stopped by the hotel security.
Before Lin Suyang had time to speak, Li Zhibai took the lead and said to him: "I'm really convinced. Why are these media so eager to see me and Yan He fighting? They like to watch us quarreling so much. I’m really convinced.”
Lin Suyang: “I understand, then people have to find topics, otherwise how can they attract traffic”
“ Even if you annoy these people, you can't ask more advanced questions and just stare at these trivial and meaningless things all day long." Li Zhibai pursed his lips, thought of something, and said to Lin Suyang, "By the way, Su. Brother Yang, I won’t have dinner with you tonight. I have an important phone call to make. Please order a meal for me and send it to my room.”
Lin Suyang was a little surprised.
Lin Suyang knew about Li Zhibai's work arrangements.
But Lin Suyang did not know about this call in advance, indicating that it was a private call. Precisely because it was a private phone call, Lin Suyang was surprised——
What private phone call was so important that he didn’t even go out to eat?
-
"How was your conversation with Zhou Ping'an?"
During the video call, Li Zhibai asked Yan Liang.
Yan Liang: “He has already promised that he will help me negotiate with the company to get what I want.”
“Don’t be fooled by them, whether it’s endorsements or film and television projects. Well, even if you don’t need it, you still have to write it into the contract. What level of resources and support they need to provide you must be written clearly, without any vagueness. Don't think you Now that the communication with Zhou Pingan is relatively smooth, I think he will consider you from your perspective. Yan He and I have learned from this."
"I know that I will not be so naive." Yan Liang smiled and sighed, "Fortunately, you guys have helped me weather the thunder. No matter how many sweet words Zhou Ping'an says in front of me, I won't believe it."
"That's good." Li Zhi Bai nodded.
"What about you? Have you told Lin Suyang?" Yan Liang asked.
“Not yet. I haven’t decided yet whether I want to go out and work alone.” Li Zhibai’s idea has not yet been decided. “Actually, my situation is different from yours. If I have The two series "Friends" and "Gold Rush" served as my insurance for the next few years, so I just left. However, if I work alone, I may not be able to have the comfort of being at Star Entertainment. Especially since Lin Suyang has been cooperating with me for more than a year, he is quite good. If I can pry him away together, I can feel more comfortable and feel more confident. But he still has the MX combination, and he can’t Maybe follow me.”
Yan Liang: “Yeah.”
Yan Liang didn’t say that Li Zhibai didn’t have to worry about his resources after leaving Xingyu.
Even if they all know very well that if Li Zhibai really loses the support of Star Entertainment, his resources may be downgraded in a short period of time, Lu Yanhe will not sit idly by and do nothing. He will definitely have projects for Li Zhibai. Treat hundreds of performances. They both felt the same way. They should do their own thing well. If Lu Yanhe has a project suitable for them, then they will do it. But they didn't want to make a mess because of their own affairs, so they needed Lu Yanhe to specially consider helping them to send them the script. The embarrassment was secondary, but the main reason was that he didn't want to cause more trouble to Lu Yanhe.
No matter how high Lu Yanhe's status is now, how powerful his voice is, and how many projects he has in hand, others look at him as if everything counts, but Li Zhibai and Yan Liang know very well that Lu Yanhe is also constantly weighing the pros and cons. , make a choice.
Li Zhibai said: "Furthermore, I have just become the producer of "Nineteen Years". I am thinking that maybe I will accumulate a few more years of experience and then my own team will be able to do it. , it’s easier to go out alone.”
“It depends on you. How have you thought about it? Our situations are very different, and my opinion has no reference value." Yan Liang pursed his lips, "But one thing, I think you don't have to be so presumptuous. You have director Liu Bige. New movies include "Nineteen Years" and "Sword", plus Because you have accumulated so many years of popularity and popularity, your health bar is much thicker than you thought. I didn’t expect that you would be so worried about gains and losses.”
“I’m not worried about gains and losses. Be self-aware," Li Zhibai said, "In the entertainment industry, If you have a company, even if you fail a few times, it will not affect your chances of making a comeback. But if you work alone, if you fail a few times, your health bar will basically be exhausted. You can't survive on your own, but there is a company. Blood transfusion from behind is still different.”
Neither of them are too complacent because of their current good situation, thinking that they can continue this situation even if they leave Xingyu. A leading actor may offend partners due to chaotic team management, fail to handle brand PR, and be replaced by another resource person in the competition for leading projects because there is no company in the interest exchange chain... They are teenagers. It can be said that debut artists have been exposed to these twists and turns since childhood.
There are really only a few artists who can really survive the "cooling off period" of seven or eight years on their own.
Of course, they can also choose to change to another brokerage company.
With their current popularity and popularity, many brokerage companies are willing to take over. But the problem is that those who can compete with Star Entertainment may not necessarily offer better conditions than Star Entertainment. It’s not like they didn’t consider renewing their contract with Star Entertainment because they treated them harshly or violated their bottom line -
For these reasons, Yan Liang had already thought about renewing his contract with Star Entertainment from the beginning. , and then rely on the strength of Zhou Pingan and Xingyu to consolidate his position in the entertainment industry. Li Zhibai kept weighing the pros and cons of leaving and staying, and continued to think and hesitate.
They haven't discussed it with Lu Yanhe yet.
I didn’t mean to hide it from Lu Yanhe, or as I said, they are brothers who hope to fight side by side with Lu Yanhe, rather than being vassals who take advantage of Lu Yanhe from time to time... Lu Yanhe has his own film and television production company, and he also has his own film and television production company. If Lu Yanhe, a shareholder of the Huo Brokerage Company, knows about Li Zhibai's situation, he will definitely invite him to pick up the fire.
What then?
Go, Li Zhibai felt unhappy - he didn't want to take advantage of Lu Yanhe, and he was in his sphere of influence. In that case, did the script given to him really need him to act, or was it because he was there? Lu Yanhe must give it? Lu Yanhe had a script that was not given to him to act in, but given to another person in the company. What did he think? Will Lu Yanhe be worried about this?
Li Zhibai really didn't want to have such a specific interest tie with Lu Yanhe. The result of being tied too tightly would be a stranglehold, which would make no one happy.
Therefore, both Li Zhibai and Yan Liang hope that they will know Lu Yanhe again once their horoscopes are over.
They are friends and should be ventilated. But before ventilating, you should first figure out what they want and what they want to do.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang had a video call for an hour and a half, reviewing conversations, making suggestions, and summarizing key points. They talked at length.
Li Zhibai nodded with satisfaction: "I think I have made a lot of progress. Yan Liang, you will have the opportunity to be a producer in the future. Although the process will be as uncomfortable as peeling off a layer of skin, it will really work." I learned a lot.”
Yan Liang couldn’t laugh or cry.
"You have really said this to me too many times. How much suffering did you suffer during the "Nineteen Years" project? Can you write a memoir?"
Li Zhibai's eyes lit up instantly.
"You are right, I have to write it down so as not to forget it later." Li Zhibai said, "Just some time ago, Chen Siqi asked me if I had any idea of an electronic subscription account for "Jump Up" I have to write a few columns, so I’ll just write this.”
Yan Liang: “I’m really convinced.”
Li Zhibai: “What’s wrong?”
Yan Liang: "No, no, it's not possible. Just ask to be convinced."
Hang up the video call, Yan Liang yawned, but saw a push message pop up on his phone:
Mengli joined " Director, please give me advice."
-
"Why did Mengli go on "Director Please Advice"? If she is such a popular A-lister, why would she go on such a show?"
Zhou Pingan received a call from He Yingzi, who was surprised on the phone.
As soon as he heard He Yingzi's words, Zhou Ping'an keenly guessed He Yingzi's purpose and asked directly: "Do you also have actors participating in this show?"
He Yingzi cursed in his heart. "This old fox has a really keen sense of smell."
There is no point in denying it now, the show will eventually be aired.
"Yes." He Yingzi sighed.
"Is it Lang Xia?"
"Of course I won't let him participate in this kind of show. I'm not you." He Yingzi said, "He's a newcomer I signed."
"Girl?" Zhou Pingan asked.
"Yes."
Zhou Ping'an smiled and said, "Okay, don't be nervous. There are so many actors in this show, and even Mengli can't steal her exposure."
He Yingzi smiled.
“Whoever can steal the exposure in front of Meng Li, I will immediately pry this person away and sign this person to my banner.” As for Meng Li’s ability to stir up troubles and attract attention, He Yingzi is Extremely recognized.
Mengli’s popularity today is entirely due to her topicality.
Zhou Pingan smiled.
“She came to this show to show off her acting skills, not to cause trouble.”
He Yingzi: "I believe you are here, but Zhou Ping'an, tell the truth, did you do it on purpose?"
"On purpose?"
"He Sha did this on purpose. Show, you want Meng Li to teach her a lesson?"
"Why should I teach her a lesson with Meng Li's hands?" Zhou Ping'an said slowly.
He Yingzi: "It is true that Meng Li's hands are not dirty, but I will let my artists help you vent your anger. How about you let Meng Li support her in the show? Is this deal a deal? ?”
Zhou Ping'an: "Is this an alliance?"
"Isn't a show with dozens of actors coming to PK just a Shura field? If we don't form an alliance at this time, when will we form an alliance?" He Yingzi said righteously.
Zhou Pingan smiled.
"You have a point."
-
"The show "Director Please Advice" will also be quite exciting." Chen Ziyan, who heard some inside information, smiled at Lu Yanhe and shook her head, "I don't know if their performance in the show will attract attention, but other than acting skills Something, it will definitely explode."
Chen Ziyan also dislikes He Sha.
She knew that Lu Yanhe was also very unhappy because of what He Sha had done before.
So, she shared the news immediately.
"Don't offend Zhou Pingan if you offend anyone. Zhou Pingan has formed an alliance with He Yingzi. Meng Li and He Yingzi's newly signed actors will embarrass He Sha in the show."
"Mengli actually helped Zhou Ping'an?"
"Zhou Ping'an single-handedly planned her love affair and romance, and now Mengli is completely red." Chen Ziyan smiled, "Who is Mengli a typical person? Zhou Ping'an will follow anyone who helps her. She is very happy to work with her, and there will be a top-notch production for her soon."
"No wonder." Lu Yanhe imagined the scene of Meng Li and He Sha on the same stage, with someone following them in the middle. To muddy the waters, that picture is indeed wonderful.
“The second season of “The Birth of an Actor” will be launched soon. There will be many other shows of this type following suit. We must quickly finalize suitable and good actors to avoid being replaced by other programs. The show was taken away." Chen Ziyan said, "Although it is not impossible to use 'twice-cooked pork', the surprise will be much less."
"Yes, indeed."
Chen Ziyan: "In the second season, do you still plan to have the same gameplay as the first season?"
"At least that will be the case in the first stage." Lu Yanhe said, "Will it be a team battle or something else? The mode can be adjusted, such as letting the cast team from the second season challenge the cast team from the first season."
Chen Ziyan's eyes immediately lit up, "This is quite interesting."
"Yes." Lu Yanhe nodded, "So many actors in the first season have become famous and known by the audience. They are also the audience's first impression of the show "The Birth of an Actor". They come to compete with the actors in the second season. , it must be very interesting.”
Chen Ziyan smiled: “If you do this, what will happen in the third season? Let the actors from the second season form a team to compete with the third season?”
"It's no longer interesting to use this form all the time." Lu Yanhe said, "We have so many directors and directors, let's brainstorm together and come up with more and more innovative forms."
"Yes, Why are you thinking so much now?" Chen Ziyan said with satisfaction, "The program "The Birth of an Actor" is really worth it. Yes, so many good actors who had never been able to get roles suddenly started collecting scripts like crazy. Although I also know that after the show is over, the popularity may have passed, but at least they have gained attention, got opportunities, and can act. It’s a good role that I couldn’t play before.”
“Yes.” Lu Yanhe nodded.
“Caina finally agreed to sign her management contract in mainland China to us.” Chen Ziyan smiled, “We Shihuo finally took the first step towards internationalization.”
"Congratulations." Lu Yanhe clapped.
Chen Ziyan: "So, are you really planning to write a role for Caina in the second season of "Squid Game"?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, then that's it. It’s a great signing gift for her,” said Chen Ziyan.
Lu Yanhe: "Don't borrow flowers to offer to Buddha. I have thought of this a long time ago."
"Fart, what you told me before is possible. This is the first time you have told me To be sure, there will be a role for her," Chen Ziyan emphasized, "I remember it clearly."
Lu Yanhe: "..."
Chen Ziyan: "Caina's popularity in Southeast Asia is indeed very high, yes, it's good."
Lu Yanhe asked: "Then will you pick up domestic flights for Caina? Film and TV series? ”
“It depends. There are good projects and suitable roles. "It's not bad," Chen Ziyan said, "I didn't sign her here just for show. She is also well-known in China. How about letting her participate in the second season of "The Birth of an Actor" as a contestant?"
< br>“She doesn’t speak Chinese well, how can she participate?”
"You've been studying for a year and a half, you should be able to speak now?"
"Sister Ziyan, your words now make me feel very unreliable."
"Hahahaha." Chen Ziyan smiled happily.
Lu Yanhe didn’t know why she was so happy suddenly.
But just be happy.
