MTL - You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular-Chapter 113 The first one day three [two

◎AXA Entertainment, at the entrance.

Wen Xuan held the document in her hand and looked at the blue sky that stretches as far as the eye can see◎

Ansheng Entertainment, at the door.

Holding the documents in her hand, Wen Xuan looked at the blue sky that stretches as far as the eye can see, feeling refreshed.

Today is the day when she terminates her contract with Ansheng Entertainment, and it is also the day when she is completely free.

Thinking of Mr. Sheng's extremely ugly face, Wen Xuan felt extremely relieved.

"Sister Wen, do you really plan to open your own studio next?" The manager stood beside her and asked hesitantly.

Wen Xuan nodded, showing a smile: "Well, I've already thought about it, thank you for taking care of me during this time."

No matter what, in short, she will not stay with Ansheng Entertainment any longer.

The contract between Wen Xuan and Ansheng Entertainment expired today. According to the old rules, they should have renewed their contract two months ago.

But it is a pity that "Order of the End of the World" had not yet aired at that time, and Wen Xuan's popularity was not as good as before, and she could no longer receive suitable plays.

In addition, Wenxuan came up with a bad idea at the beginning, which made Boss Sheng very dissatisfied, and the attitude of the company's senior management towards her became more and more indifferent.

When talking about renewing the contract, the company's treatment dropped again and again, directly lowering the standard to the lowest level, regardless of how long she had worked in Ansheng Entertainment and how much net profit she had made for the company.

At that time, Mr. Sheng was full of indifference and a mocking expression: "You can sign this renewal contract, of course you don't have to sign it."

Of course Wen Xuan didn't want to sell herself just like that.

However, she gave Ansheng Entertainment more than ten years, and now her worth is not as good as before. It is so difficult to change jobs again.

She offended Boss Sheng, and no one in the company spoke up for her. Everyone's interests come first, and no one will take any risks for a star like her who has already cooled down.

At that moment, Wen Xuan's heart also turned cold.

She has been in the entertainment circle for such a long time, of course she knows that in this circle, most people only care about traffic and money.

When you are hot, everyone holds you and surrounds you; when you are cold, no one will give you a look, and anyone can even step on it.

At that time, Wenxuan was not reconciled. Even though her career was getting worse and worse, she was still at the top of the list and had excellent works.

How can it not be reduced to such a point!

The two sides fell into a stalemate, and finally, Mr. Sheng threw her a word.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's terminate the contract as soon as it expires!"

Ansheng Entertainment completely gave up on her, and only planned to squeeze the last bit of value from her.

Then…

"The Order of the End of the World" became popular, and Wen Xuan followed suit.

Wen Xuan still remembers the ugly expression on Mr. Sheng's face, as disgusting as if he ate a fly.

The company changed a senior manager to contact her and promised the most favorable conditions; the artists who used to avoid her all gathered around her again at this time, looking like they had a close relationship.

It's a pity that Wen Xuan has been completely disheartened about this company.

She was determined to refuse to renew the contract, even if they threatened and lured them and used various methods, she never wavered in her determination.

Over the years, the company has accepted a pile of endorsement advertisements for her, making her busy with variety shows and commercial activities every day.

She was tempted by the high profits, followed the company's lobbying, and began to believe in the road that traffic popularity is king, and plunged into it.

But what happened?

Those activities took up 90% of her time and experience, and the dramas she acted in were getting worse and worse, and her career continued to decline.

Passers-by said that she lost the aura she had when she first entered the circle.

Fans said that there was no light in her eyes, and only fatigue remained on her face.

She thinks it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as there is traffic and discussion, she is still a first-line star.

But in the end, she discovered that traffic and discussion are just superficial and gorgeous clothes.

Those things are fleeting, intangible, intangible.

What can really save her is not the so-called enthusiasm, but the things she used to despise the most - strength, and works.

Now, Wenxuan looked at the tall office building in front of her, and the shining four big characters of "Ansheng Entertainment", a flash of determination flashed in her eyes.

Heh, the top domestic entertainment company? The best platform where countless artists want to join?

She doesn't serve anymore!

"Come on, let's go to the awards ceremony."

Wen Xuan pulled down the door under the guard of bodyguards and got into the low-key black car.

The scenery outside the window flashed by quickly, and the wind gently blew the hair on her shoulders, bringing bursts of refreshing floral fragrance.

Wen Xuan was full of thoughts.

Of course, she has not forgotten who she is today because of.

When she was most difficult, most helpless, and unable to see the way ahead, it was Yao Bianliang—an opponent she had once targeted, who extended an olive branch to her regardless of past suspicions.

This one move completely changed her fate.

"Whether I win the prize this time or not, I must find a way to repay her..." Wen Xuan made up her mind secretly.

———

"Ah-ahh!"

Yao Bianliang rubbed his nose and sneezed very loudly.

She looked around in a daze, and finally wrapped her coat tightly: "It's strange, it's not cold here... Who is talking about me?"

Why did she suddenly feel uneasy.

It was as if...something bad was about to happen somewhere.

"Sister Liang, are you okay? Have you caught a cold?" Assistant Yan Xiaoli gave her a concerned look.

"Forget it, it's okay." Yao Bianliang shook his head

She didn't worry about what happened just now, and walked out of the car.

The scene of the award ceremony was very lively. Countless reporters and photographers stood on both sides. When they saw a car parked, they immediately took pictures, ready to capture the moment when the star got out of the car.

The spotlight kept flickering, and a reporter wearing glasses looked over there with his eyes narrowed.

"Wait, why hasn't the star got out of the car yet?"

The ones who got out of the car seemed to be two people in ordinary clothes, presumably they were assistants. But the star himself never showed up.

"It's already come out, didn't you see it?" The companion next to him raised his chin: "Hurry up and take a picture, that's Yao Bianliang."

The glasses brother was confused: "What? Is Yao Bianliang out?"

He narrowed his eyes again and looked over there, but he still didn't see any female stars in dresses.

After observing carefully for several seconds, he suddenly realized a problem.

"Wait... That woman in a black skirt and coat, could it be Yao Bianliang?"

"Well, yes, it's her." The companion beside him nodded, and the action of shooting in his hand still didn't stop.

Glasses brother: "..."

The reporter wearing glasses felt a little numb.

You are a star! And it was a star who came to the awards ceremony!

Even if you don't wear heavy makeup and dress up to attend, at least wear a good-looking dress and a few accessories.

Why do you dress like an assistant?

Although the black skirt can barely be considered a skirt, it is a very conventional popular style, and you can buy it in any department store.

What's more, Yao Bianliang didn't wear a necklace or any other accessories. The reporter even had reason to suspect that she didn't wear much makeup at all.

If it wasn't for his good looks, this outfit would definitely be something you wouldn't find in a crowd of people.

Yao Bianliang's attire did attract the attention of many people, and there were murmured discussions all around.

Yao Bianliang, who was the center of the discussion, didn't look sideways, and walked quickly towards the hall, as if he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this attire.

To be honest, at the beginning, she planned to dress more excessively.

For example, simply wear loose casual clothes that are not easy to see, or directly wear daily wear on weekdays.

But this also causes other problems.

—Although it doesn't look good in this way, it's still unique enough!

After the reporter finishes taking the photos, post an article about "Yao Bianliang wears everyday clothes to attend the award ceremony", which is definitely a big hit.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible for her to dress up and dress up to attend.

Just kidding, she doesn't want to wait until after the awards ceremony is over, and then see #谭边凉艳压全集# on Weibo hot searches!

Therefore, after weighing the two, she finally chose the black dress she was wearing.

Low-key and inconspicuous enough without attracting too much attention.

Simply perfect.

Walking into the hall, there are already many stars present.

Seeing that it was Yao Bianliang who came, many people looked over.

Under countless probing gazes, Yao Bian calmly straightened his coat cuffs and found his place in the first row.

Xia Hong, who was sitting not far away, saw her at a glance, immediately put on a smile on his face, and waved to her enthusiastically.

"Sister Liang, this way!"

Yao Bianliang also saw his old friends here, He Yanning and Mu Taozhi.

Mu Taozhi and Xia Hong had a very good relationship, and they sat next to each other. He Yanning was sitting on the other side.

Due to the hasty itinerary, he didn't even have time to eat dinner, so he was gnawing bread silently.

Since the filming of the variety show, Yao Bianliang has kept in touch with Mu Taozhi and He Yanning, but they haven't seen each other for a long time.

Being an actor is already a very busy profession, and everyone shuttles back and forth between cities every day, and only at such times can we get together for a while.

A few people exchanged a few simple greetings, and Yao Bianliang keenly noticed that the mental state of the three of them was not particularly good, and they seemed to have a sense of fatigue after long-term fatigue.

"What have you been up to lately?" Yao Bianliang was a little curious.

In her memory, she hadn't heard that they had any new dramas to film recently.

Mu Taozhi was a little embarrassed: "Then what... I have three variety shows to film recently, and there are many commercials and endorsements."

Xia Hong sighed: "That's right, when I was filming before, I concentrated on filming for three months and hoarded a lot of things, and now I finally managed to clean them up."

He Yanning's eyes drooped slightly, followed by a nod, and a soft "hmm".

Mu Taozhi and He Yanning felt a little sorry in their hearts.

After all, when they worked with Yao Bianliang, they wanted to improve their acting skills.

And Yao Bianliang didn't hide his secrets at all, he helped them a lot, and once allowed them to wash away the label of "bad acting skills".

But in the end, after the variety show ended, Yao Bianliang still concentrated on acting, but they were disturbed by other things and were busy with business other than acting all day long.

He Yanning finished the last bite of bread, and looked at Yao Bianliang nervously.

Seeing that she seemed to be thinking, he couldn't help adding: "However, I don't take acting seriously."

His acting skills have indeed improved a bit, and in the latest campus sweet pet drama, he has received fairly good reviews.

Mu Taozhi couldn't help but glance at He Yanning.

Look at this guy talking like they're not serious about acting.

"I'm also very serious about acting," Mu Taozhi said to Yao Bianliang, "I acted as a figure skater in the last new drama, and I even practiced skating for it! When I'm free, I'll perform for you Look."

Yao Bianliang: "..."

Why did she have the illusion that Mu Taozhi was seeking praise.

Yao Bianliang tentatively said: "Then you are pretty good?"

The corners of Mu Taozhi's lips rose slightly, satisfied.

Xia Hong: "..." What's going on with these two people, why does it feel weird.

So after working on it for a long time, is it because he didn't act well?

Xia Hong recalled his state in the past few months, and then realized a fact sadly.

He seems to be really not serious about acting.

Xia Hong glanced at Mu Taozhi, who was proud of himself, and thought to himself that he had to make some achievements later.

Can't just rely on "The Order of the End of the World" and keep living on our laurels?

"Hey, if it wasn't for the agent to stop him, who wouldn't want to stay on the set every day and concentrate on filming." Xia Hong sighed.

It's a natural result that you can't put your heart and soul into acting.

For one thing, it was difficult for the agent and the company to agree to him doing so.

Secondly, the atmosphere of the entire crew will not be very good, and each leading actor has to be busy with various things. If he stayed in the crew all day long and acted seriously, he would become a different kind.

And more importantly, if they don't participate in other business activities and don't engage in marketing hype, then it will be difficult for them to maintain their popularity.

Only relying on serious acting, can you sit back and relax and sit on the Diaoyutai?

No, not at all.

Everyone is doing marketing hype and doing whatever it takes to get traffic. Should they choose to take a backseat, newcomers will soon fill their places.

— After all, the entertainment industry will never lack good-looking and powerful celebrity artists.

Not everyone can be as lucky as Yao Bianliang. Although she only focuses on filming, there will always be endless topics about her.

For more artists, if they don't pay attention to topics and traffic, then the only way to meet them is to become cool.

Xia Hong also knew in his heart that Mu Taozhi and He Yanning had the same situation as him.

Either leave the company and work alone, form a team by yourself, take the risk of becoming cold at any time, act seriously and prepare the work.

— Moreover, after this "good work" is finally launched, it is very likely that it will be a disaster.

Or just follow the trend, engage in marketing hype, make money from advertising endorsements, and finally programmatically perform acting.

Comparing the two, the risks and benefits of the former are completely out of proportion. Who can have the courage to do it?

Yao Bianliang also knew this in his heart.

Indeed, for traffic stars like them, it is actually not difficult to act seriously once in a while.

But if you want to persist in this state in the current environment, it is simply impossible.

Thinking of this, Yao Bianliang couldn't help feeling even more sad.

Because of these various problems, no matter whether these stars just want to make bad money or want to improve themselves, they can only go the same way in the end.

As for the kind of people who stick to their hearts and are incompatible with the entertainment industry, of course there are also people.

However, the popularity of those stars is definitely not high, and most of them can only be located in the small transparency on the 18th line.

"That's right, host, it turns out that apart from you, other actors and stars who don't do marketing hype, don't participate in variety shows and don't shoot endorsements are basically not popular." The system said.

Yao Bianliang: "..."

Enough is enough, shut up.

It really hurts more and more.

"Perhaps, if you want to change the status quo, you still need a large amount of capital to enter the market, so that the entire market can be improved." Yao Bianliang sighed silently in his heart.

She remembered the special task she triggered—

Recruit new members for the studio and deliver new talents for the entertainment industry.

Could it be that she really has to wait for the entire entertainment industry to get better before she can completely cool off?

Then this is too difficult!

Yao Bianliang looked sadly into the distance, at this moment, the curtain on the stage was slowly being pulled back.

The awards ceremony is finally about to officially begin.

"Sister Liang, you must remember to control your expression later." Sitting next to him, Mu Taozhi reminded worriedly.

"Those reporters like to speculate," he said. "It's okay if you win an award. If you don't win an award, as long as you show the slightest bit of disappointment, there will be related news the next day."

For example, Yao Bianliang was unwilling after missing out on the award, Yao Bianliang was jealous of the award-winning star, or simply made something out of nothing to create a bigger revelation.

Anyway, there is a picture at the beginning, and the content depends entirely on editing.

He Yanning explained softly: "Sister Liang, you don't need to pay attention to him. The main reason is that Mu Taozhi has been programmed like this before."

Once bitten, twice shy.

Mu Taozhi: "..."

Yao Bianliang imagined it for a while, indeed, with Mu Taozhi's expression management ability, it's really hard not to be seen what's on his mind.

She couldn't help laughing, and comforted: "Don't worry, there will be no problem."

If someone really won the award and let her be the one to accompany her, then she would definitely be happier than the award-winning star.

The smile is absolutely sincere, and the compliment is absolutely from the heart!

On the stage, bright and eye-catching lights illuminated the most middle place. The host held a microphone and read the opening speech with a smile in front of countless eyes and camera lenses.

Yao Bianliang sat on his seat, applauded with everyone, and prayed silently in his heart.

"By the way, what are the first two awards of the ceremony?" She asked He Yanning beside her in a low voice.

He Yanning also replied in a low voice: "It's the best film and best director."

Yao Bianliang was relieved, it was very good, it was an award that had nothing to do with her.

The part of announcing the winners was intense and exciting, and the award presentation and thank you speech were also very touching, but Yao Bianliang leaned back in his chair, waiting boredly.

Finally, in the third award, the name of "Order of the End of the World" was finally mentioned.

— Nominated for Best Supporting Actress, among them is Wen Xuan.

Yao Bianliang was refreshed and sat up straight.

As long as Wen Xuan wins the Best Supporting Actress, even if she wins the Best Actress in the end, it won't look too abrupt.

"The nominees for Best Supporting Actress this time are: "Your Garden and Me" - Zhang Nuan; "The Secret of the Sky" - Huang Zhiya; "Send You a Bunch of Lavender" - Nian Gillian; "The Order of the End of the World" - Wenxuan."

The host's voice sounded on the stage, and at the same time, the highlights of several actors' performances were played on the big screen.

There are poignant and romantic crying scenes of costume dramas, as well as tense and exciting scenes of spy movies.

Wen Xuan's shot is the brightest moment in the whole drama. After the female villain is exposed in public, the masquerading righteousness on her face slowly disappears and turns into a stern sneer, with astonishing ambition and desire bursting out of her eyes.

The change in eyes in this episode is very brilliant, and it can be called one of the most exciting scenes in the whole play.

After all the video clips were played, the host's voice finally sounded slowly.

"The actor who finally won the Best Supporting Actress award is—"

"Wen Xuan!"

There was a thunderous applause from the audience, and the lights gradually became brighter. The background music with clear drumbeats sounded, accompanied by the speed of the host's speech.

"In "Order of the End of the World", she interpreted complex and diverse characters with delicate performances, and interpreted the villain image with both ambition and disguise in the most natural state. After ten years of silence, she once again appeared in the In front of the audience—she let us all know that she has not been defeated by difficulties and tribulations! After a lapse of ten years, she has returned to the top!"

Wen Xuan only felt the light shining on her body, and the host on the stage looked at her with a smile and nodded to her. Surrounded by congratulations from other stars, the applause continued for a long time, and everyone's eyes were on her.

Ten years, a full decade.

It has been ten years since her phenomenal work became popular!

Now, she has finally returned to the top, stood on this stage again, and won her honor.

Her eyes were sour, and Wen Xuan's tears were about to burst into her eyes.

She couldn't help turning her head subconsciously, looking in Yao Bianliang's direction.

Yao Bianliang was applauding with everyone at this time, the corners of his lips were raised slightly, and his eyes were full of relief and happiness.

The other party was really happy for her—even more than when she won the award herself.

Wen Xuan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, lifted her skirt, and walked to her own stage.

The lights moved slowly following her movements, and Wen Xuan came all the way to the center of the stage under everyone's attention.

Yao Bianliang sat under the stage, watching this scene with satisfaction.

Everything went more smoothly than she imagined, and Wen Xuan really won the Best Supporting Actress!

If Ling Huanxuan can also get the best screenplay, then two members of the crew of "The Order of the End of the World" will win the award.

This is really a gratifying thing.

She thought so, while finding a comfortable position to lean against the back of the chair.

The next part is the thank you speech, nothing more than thanking parents, thanking friends, thanking fans...

In short, she has already memorized that set of rhetoric by heart.

Nothing remarkable.

Yao Bianliang returned to the state of being bored before,

She inadvertently raised her eyes, but unexpectedly, she happened to meet Wen Xuan's eyes on the podium—

Wen Xuan looked at her at this time, her eyes were as bright as bright stars, with indescribable joy and gratitude—

It even gives people the illusion of asking for praise.

Yao Bianliang: "..."

Wait, something is wrong.

There seems to be something wrong with this situation.

The corners of her raised mouth slowly stopped, and her fingers tightened slightly.

A system voice sounded in my mind: "Host, I don't know why, I have a bad feeling right now."

Yao Bian paused.

"…me too."
