Chapter 39: Suppressing Newcomers
Hearing Qi Tong's words, Ren Jia couldn't help showing a successful expression.
The people in the team next to him seemed to be used to Ren Jia's behavior, and no one showed any unnecessary thoughts.
Competition in the entertainment industry is fierce, especially among actresses. Those with good looks, good acting skills, and backgrounds are almost saturated in all fields, but newcomers are still springing up like mushrooms after a rain.
Although Ren Jia is currently popular, she is very career-oriented and has to be vigilant at all times. Suppressing new actors with outstanding conditions is just a common competitive method, and she doesn't think there is any problem.
This kind of thing is considered the most basic in the circle, and there are many more shady things than this.
Shen Li had barely reached the door of the entertainment industry with her feet, so how could she understand this? So when she was told to stay backstage and wait for arrangements, she nodded obediently to show that she understood. However, without her knowledge, she He has been secretly disqualified from the press conference by others.
Under her conditions, if she can get the camera at the press conference, even if it is not much, it will definitely attract the attention of the audience. This is also her only chance to be exposed to the public before her debut as a newcomer.
Ren Jiatai knows when and what means to use to suppress newcomers. After losing this opportunity, Shen Li will have to wait for the promotion after the drama is completed if she wants to appear in front of the audience.
At least half a year.
Seeing the creative staff coming on stage one after another, Shen Li did not dare to leave the backstage because she was afraid that the staff would not find her after a while.
"Eh? Little beauty, why didn't you come on stage?"
When Ren Jia passed by the scene and saw Shen Li backstage, she pretended to be surprised and greeted her.
Shen Li quickly stood up and said softly: "The staff asked me to wait here. It might take a while before they can get to me."
Ren Jia nodded understandingly and smiled: "Then wait here, don't run around, it will be troublesome if I can't find you later."
"I know, Sister Ren Jia, you go first."
Watching Ren Jia leave the backstage accompanied by her team, the noisy and busy backstage suddenly became extremely quiet. All the actors who attended the press conference went to the scene, and she was the only one left.
As time passed, there was a screen connected to the broadcaster in the background, and the live conference could be seen. Shen Li, who should have appeared on the screen, became an audience outside the screen at this moment.
"Shen Li?"
At this moment, Yu Hong returned to the backstage to get her things and saw Shen Li sitting in a chair in a daze. She couldn't help but said in surprise: "What are you doing here? Why didn't you go on stage?"
Seeing Yu Hong, Shen Li stood up quickly: "Teacher, I...I'm waiting for arrangements."
"Waiting for arrangements?" Yu Hong looked around and saw that except for a few cleaning staff, there was no one else there. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who asked you to wait here for arrangements?"
"A staff member." Shen Li said matter-of-factly.
Yu Hong has been an agent for almost 20 years. She is well versed in all things in the entertainment industry. She immediately understood that Shen Li was being targeted by someone with ulterior motives.
"You silly girl, this press conference is already halfway through and no one has come to call you. Why don't you even know how to ask?" Yu Hong sighed, but did not take Shen Li to find the staff. Shi Shi said: "If you had a company behind you, or were under my control, do you think they would dare to do this to you?"
Shen Li realized later that she was sitting on the bench.
"Teacher, why?" Shen Li asked with a pure face, puzzled: "I...I didn't do anything wrong, right?"
"Remember, don't ask why in the entertainment industry in the future, because many things have no reason at all." Yu Hong patted her shoulder and said: "The press conference is a live broadcast. If you don't go on stage with them, you can't go up midway. "Okay, let's remember what happened this time and be more careful in the future." Shen Li's nose was a little sore and her watery eyes were slightly red.
She couldn't figure it out. She obviously didn't do anything and came to the venue two hours early for this press conference. As a result, she was inexplicably placed on the bench.
She was not even allowed to ask why. What was the point of this?
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Yu Hong also looked helpless. Although not every newcomer would be treated unfairly when they first entered the industry, the more outstanding the conditions, the easier it was to encounter them.
This also shows that Shen Li has excellent conditions and has already made some people feel a sense of crisis even before she debuted.
Such a good seedling cannot be let out of her hands.
"Don't be aggrieved. If you had given me an answer earlier, would I have been able to take you to this press conference today?" Yu Hong asked gently at the right moment: "Have you not considered the signing yet?"
Shen Li adjusted her mentality and said softly: "No, teacher, I want to answer you in person today. I want to be more formal. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
"I've thought about it, and I'm willing to sign." When Shen Li said this, her heart was firmer than ever.
Today's incident made her understand that with her experience as a blank slate, if no one took her to guide her, she would suffer endless losses later.
She needs a company to rely on and an experienced agent.
After hearing that she agreed to sign the contract, Yu Hong smiled happily: "That's right. Then come to the company to see me when you have time, and we will sit down and talk about the details."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Shen Li pursed her lips and nodded, then said cautiously: "Then today..."
"Don't think about today. If you don't want to be embarrassed for a while, you can leave now." Yu Hong said.
Shen Li felt aggrieved and unwilling to accept it, but she still did not make any fuss and silently accepted the result.
In the dormitory, Wang Chuhan and others sat together to watch the live broadcast of the press conference. At first, they all looked excited, waiting for the main creator to appear together, and then watched Shen Li's beautiful appearance.
But until the press conference was coming to an end, Shen Li was nowhere to be seen.
"What's going on? Where is Shen Li?"
"Yes, she left home two or three hours in advance. Could it be that she went to the wrong place?"
"It's impossible. She sent me a message early and said she was waiting backstage. She also said she saw several celebrities."
Several people had puzzled faces. In the end, Zhao Meina took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Shen Li to ask, but she couldn't wait for a reply.
In another dormitory, Xu Zishan was also watching the live broadcast. Her mentality was exactly the opposite of Wang Chuhan and others. At first, she was worried, fearing that Shen Li would really appear in the creative team at the press conference.
But after watching for a long time, Shen Li didn't show up, and she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"I said it's impossible. No matter how good Shen Li's conditions are, it's impossible for Shen Li to get an important role in such a big IP project."
"Shanshan, stop thinking so wildly."
