MTL - After The Actor Made a Match For Me, He Died Out of Jealousy-Chapter 29
By the time they left the racecourse, the sun was about to go down, and the white clouds on the horizon turned into fiery red clouds. The scenery was spectacular.
Zhou Beiwang wanted to invite Qin Lu and Jiang Liucheng to dinner, and he had already made a reservation for the restaurant.
Qin Lu didn't go. He still had things to do at night. After leaving the racecourse, they separated.
The meal went well, but during the period someone recognized Zhou Beiwang and came over to say hello. It could be seen that Zhou Beiwang's popularity was not bad.
After dinner, Zhou Beiwang took him home.
The car drove to the gate of Siming Community, Jiang Liucheng got out of the car and said goodbye to him.
Jiang Liucheng went upstairs, opened the door and faced a curious face, almost hitting him in the face.
"Who is the person who brought you back downstairs just now? It doesn't seem to be the car of the Emperor Qin." Guo Qifan was curious. He had just smoked on the balcony and accidentally saw his friend get off the sports car.
Jiang Liucheng pushed his face away, put the key on the cabinet by the door, and said while slipping: "It smells of smoke, it's not him, it's my second blind date."
Guo Qifan took a few steps back, and then wows, "What a rich second-generation, that sports car can't be bought for more than 5 million, I found that since you and a man have a blind date, each person is richer than the other, it turns out that The benefits of dating a man are so great, no wonder girls want to marry rich men and men want to marry rich women, you have invented a new way, envy, this is much easier than marrying rich women."
Jiang Liucheng: "...You can too."
Guo Qifan: "That's better. My mother will beat me to death. He has been expecting me to quickly marry a wife and give them a grandson to play with. If they know that I have found a man, they will definitely give me a mixed doubles match. combo."
Jiang Liucheng smiled, "Auntie and uncle are you doing well recently?"
Guo Qifan: "Yesterday, my mother sent me a voice message, and the voice of scolding me was full of anger. If you think it's okay, I have never seen an old gentleman and an old lady who are more energetic than them."
Jiang Liucheng nodded and said, "It's good to be healthy."
Guo Qifan didn't want to continue this topic. He was the only one of Lao Cheng's friends who knew more about his family's situation, because the two of them were in a neighboring village, and Grandpa Jiang died of illness, or it was the funeral that their family helped organize.
Because of the matter of Grandpa Jiang, Lao Cheng also pays more attention to his health. From time to time, he will ask about his parents' health like he does now. He cares more about his parents than he does. People who don't know it think that he is old Orange is the biological son of his parents.
Guo Qifan followed him to the door of the room, stood beside him and asked, "How was your blind date today, is this rich second generation okay?"
Jiang Liucheng took out a set of clothes from the cabinet, "He's a very confident person, maybe he has some minor problems."
Guo Qifan: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Liucheng: "The friends I make are all very 'personal'. I should be considered a social expert. It doesn't look like someone who has never been in love."
Guo Qifan put it on the door frame: "If the rich second generation is still a handsome guy, he must have been in love. Maybe he is still a playboy. Do you still want to talk to such a person?"
Jiang Liucheng turned around and said, "I'm still understanding at this stage, so I can't deny people just because of some unfounded guesses."
Guo Qifan shrugged and said: "That's true, anyway, with your progress, you must first determine whether the other party is suitable for dating before making a decision. You have a lot of processes, and Grandpa Jiang really has the foresight to get you this one. name."
Jiang Liucheng smiled and said: "What's wrong with this name, I think it's pretty good. If you don't talk about the process of falling in love, you'll be the same as my irresponsible parents."
Guo Qifan used to avoid mentioning his parents as much as possible, but when he heard him take the initiative to mention it, he simply ignored it, "So people like you are not suitable for love at first sight."
Jiang Liucheng hummed, "You're right."
The next morning, Li Qiu came to pick him up early to shoot an advertisement at Fatty Foods.
Zhou Beiwang heard that he was going to shoot an advertisement today, and originally offered to send him there, but Jiang Liucheng refused.
Li Qiu drove to pick him up, and after getting in the car, he went directly to the Fat Food Company.
In order to save costs, the fat food company directly invited photographers to their company to shoot advertisements and prepared for a week.
When their car reached the downstairs of the company, a female employee was waiting for them at the door. The company seemed to attach great importance to this advertising shoot.
"Is it Mr. Jiang and Mr. Li?" The female employee secretly glanced at Jiang Liucheng, her ears were a little red, she seemed a little embarrassed, but she secretly glanced again.
Li Qiu said yes.
"Hello, I'm an employee of Fatty Foods. My name is Ye Fang. Please come with me."
Ye Fang took them upstairs, and in order to liven up the atmosphere, she also introduced them to Fatty Foods.
Although Fatty Foods is reluctant to spend too much money on promotion, the benefits of employees are good, so there are many old employees who have been working for more than ten or twenty years.
When mentioning this company, Ye Fang's tone is proud and proud, even though their company is not in a good state now.
Ye Fang is not an ordinary employee. She is actually the planner of the advertisement, and the content of the advertisement is also written by her.
When she saw other people, she became serious and arranged her work in an orderly manner.
When Jiang Liucheng finished her makeup, everything was ready for the shooting.
"Our advertising content is relatively simple, that is, if you eat something bad and become allergic, you will feel better after eating our new product. It's roughly like this. It's very simple. You can take a look."
When Ye Fang spoke, she didn't notice Jiang Liucheng's surprised expression, and only noticed it when she finished speaking.
"What's the matter, is there any problem? If there is any problem, you can communicate."
Jiang Liucheng shook his head and said that there was no problem. If he hadn't known that this was a bit exaggerated, he would have thought that Fatty Foods had investigated his business. The content of this advertisement was tailor-made for him.
Thinking so, he didn't intend to say it, because it is useless to say it, and this kind of thing is not suitable for gimmicks, otherwise it may be counterproductive.
Because of my own personal experience, the progress of the commercial shooting was exceptionally smooth.
Both Ye Fang and the photographer thought that it would take at least half a day to finish the advertisement.
Who knew that the whole process was over after only two shots. The first time was because the lighting in some places was not repaired.
If they didn't know that Jiang Liucheng was performing, they would have thought that the other party was really allergic and acted as if it were real.
"This is the first time I've shot a fast and smooth commercial, it's so silky smooth," the advertising photographer said sincerely.
Ye Fang on the side also nodded affirmatively, "No wonder the director at the bottom chose you to make his new movie. Your acting skills are really good."
Not to mention them, Li Qiu is also amazing. He knows that Jiang Liucheng's acting skills are not bad. He has watched his previous TV dramas and knows that he is improving every time, but he didn't expect him to even shoot an advertisement so realistically.
Jiang Liucheng paused when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he still didn't tell them that this was his own experience.
Saving time is equivalent to saving money. The senior management of the company learned that they were shooting soon, and they had a good impression of Jiang Liucheng, because he was cheap, and now the impression is even better.
"I'm going to the toilet." Jiang Liucheng wanted to remove the makeup from her face, so she told Li Qiu.
"Then go, I'll wait for you here."
Jiang Liucheng nodded and went to the toilet under the guidance of the staff. Since there is no assistant, he will now carry a bottle of makeup remover with him.
The makeup artist didn't put heavy powder on him, his skin is good, and food advertisements don't need heavy makeup, so he simply put a layer of powder on him.
"I thought the company was about to go bankrupt. The news I heard before was indeed a rumor, so I said it was impossible. Although our company has hardly made a profit in recent years, it has not lost much."
"The company is going bankrupt? Who did you hear?"
"A friend of mine said that his relative was the management of our company, and he accidentally leaked, saying that the company was going bankrupt, and the relative was looking for a new job and was worried. This friend of mine couldn't speak, and I thought it was Really, he told me a few days later that someone wanted to buy our company, but the boss didn't agree, so the other party invested in shares instead."
"real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. It is said that the investor came over this morning, and our boss is receiving the other party in person."
The voices of two employees came from the door, and then they walked away, and the voices gradually became inaudible.
Jiang Liucheng washed his hands, walked out of the toilet, and came back to find Li Qiu.
"Pangpang Food Company invited us to eat in their cafeteria, and it was almost time for dinner, so I agreed." Li Qiu told him.
Jiang Liucheng doesn't matter.
The two came to the cafeteria. At this time, there were not many employees in the cafeteria, and most of them had not yet finished get off work. Therefore, there were many dishes in the cafeteria. As soon as they came in, they smelled the aroma of the food, and their stomachs groaned in time.
Jiang Liucheng looked at Li Qiu.
Li Qiu smiled awkwardly, "I drank a bowl of porridge in the morning."
While the two were eating, more and more people came in at the entrance of the cafeteria, but the two sat in the corner and not many people noticed them.
Until there was a commotion at the door, a group of people walked in in a short while, all in suits and leather shoes, and a few elderly middle-aged men walked in surrounded by a man. They seemed to be respectful and polite to the man.
The man wears a suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looks serious, and looks very elite.
Jiang Liucheng glanced at it and retracted his gaze, guessing that this man was the one who invested in Fatty Foods.
Just then, a girl came over and stopped in front of their dining table.
The girl and her colleagues have long noticed the existence of Jiang Liucheng, but they did not remember that the company has such a person. If there is such a good-looking person in the company, they must have known it long ago.
"Aren't you two from our company?" The girl said the two, but her eyes were looking at Jiang Liucheng.
Li Qiu was not surprised by this scene for a long time. Every time he came out to talk about things with Jiang Liucheng, this kind of thing often happened.
Jiang Liucheng shook his head: "No."
The expected answer, the girl said bluntly: "Can I add a WeChat to you?"
Li Qiu knew that it was his turn to go out and said with a smile: "Sorry, our company's artists are not very good at adding other people's WeChat."
When the girl heard the word "artist", she realized that Jiang Liucheng was a star. She suddenly remembered that the company was going to shoot an advertisement today. It seemed that she had hired a star. It might be the little brother in front of her. She was a little disappointed. WeChat.
Li Qiu used this trick to help Jiang Liucheng block many people who were looking for him to ask for WeChat. Most of the girls were very reasonable, and they stopped bothering when they heard the rejection.
After he left, Li Qiu remembered one thing: "Speaking of the company, after you and Qin Yingdi were on the hot search before, several brokerage companies contacted me, and they all wanted to sign you, but they were all small companies. You are not as famous now as some 18th-tier stars, big companies will not be interested, but there are quite a few small companies."
Jiang Liucheng swallowed the rice in his mouth: "I don't sign a contract."
Li Qiu knew that after experiencing the big pit of Zhou Sheng Entertainment, he guessed that Jiang Liucheng should not want to sign with those small companies anymore.
"Now you don't have to worry so much. When you gain some popularity, you can think about it again. It's not good to not sign a contract all the time."
Many resources in the entertainment industry are in the hands of most companies. It is almost impossible for artists to obtain these resources if they do not sign a brokerage company.
The situation like Jiang Liucheng is relatively good. After he terminated the contract with Zhou Sheng Entertainment, Li Qiu left with him.
Without Li Qiu, he would have to do everything by himself, and it would be difficult for him to develop on his own.
There are very few cases like him, so most artists still choose to sign with a brokerage company, even if they know that they will be subject to the company, they have to sign.
Unless it becomes popular in the future, and there is capital to negotiate with the company, it is possible to leave the company.
Now, although many big stars have established their own studios, in fact, they have not completely left the company, and will still have some cooperation with the company, because the company will not easily let go of its own cash cow, the company will cultivate one person, and spend a lot of money manpower, material and financial resources, but also to make money.
If they don’t tear their face with the company, it will affect the future development. The most popular artists will choose to reach another win-win cooperation with the company.
This is true for A-list stars, not to mention the little stars who are not well-known.
"Yeah." Jiang Liucheng didn't refuse directly. It's hard to say what will happen in the future. Maybe the company agreed with him to change the contract.
After dinner they left the Fat Food Company.
Jiang Liucheng did not return to Siming Community, and Li Qiu took him to interview with several crews.
The last time the crew was interviewed was tomorrow, but he still had a few spares. Although he might not be able to interview, he certainly wouldn't if he didn't go.
Just when they left the fat food company on the front foot, the elite man surrounded by the fat boss also came out.
After getting in the car, the man called his boss.
"President, Fatty Foods is really unwilling to be acquired. I proposed to invest as you said, and the boss readily agreed."
In fact, in his opinion, they can hold on for a while longer. Fatty Foods just didn’t make any losses on the surface, but in fact it can’t support it for long. Sooner or later, it will go bankrupt, and then the acquisition will be proposed, and the boss will not agree to it.
"I don't like to wait." A man's indifferent voice came from the phone.
The elite man heard the words and did not continue to say that it is not a big deal to acquire or not to acquire a food company, at most it is only a matter of one or two hundred million.
Although the profit of the food company is relatively high, it is only a drop in the bucket for their group. He just doesn't understand why the president is suddenly interested in a food company.
On the other hand, when Jiang Liucheng and Li Qiu were interviewing between several crews.
A video suddenly spread on the Internet, and it became a hot search in less than an hour.
