Quiet Applause of Fame Chapter 2

Nowadays, there are three pillars in the entertainment industry, and Ruici Entertainment is one of the three giants.

On the night of the banquet, the stars were shining brightly. It was obviously an internal dinner party within the company, but there were more celebrities present than at an awards ceremony.

The theme of this dinner was to celebrate a veteran and powerful actor in the company who won the "Lifetime Achievement Award" of the Golden Phoenix Award. At the same time, it also gave the little-known actors in the company a chance to socialize.

Jasper jiang held the wine glass and waved it around in the crowd.

He is a familiar face in the entertainment industry. He has acted for many people present. In addition, he has a lovable personality and people greet him wherever he goes.

The small company he worked for had been confirmed to be acquired by Ruici Entertainment, so everyone didn't have so many worries when chatting, and they all joked that he was Ruici's future star.

Jasper jiang was not polite and responded with a pair of smart eyes.

After Jasper jiang left, the young people who were originally surrounding him sneered and commented sourly.

"Isn't it just shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival? This time, two famous directors were also shortlisted for the Chinese film. I really thought that his low-budget film with a small budget could win an award. I can't even see it being released in China. "

"That's not necessarily true. After all, Jasper jiang is famous for his good luck! If you look at the dramas he takes on, no matter how bad they are, they will explode!"

"No, the most bizarre thing is that his small company was actually acquired by Ruici... I heard that he wanted to come to Ruici when he graduated, but was rejected by the artist director during the interview stage. . Unexpectedly, things have turned around. Now I hold one-fifth of the shares of a small company. Even if I can only exchange for 01% of Ruici shares, my net worth has doubled!"

...

Jasper jiang couldn't hear what these people were talking about behind his back. At this time, he was bending his back and quietly sneaking to the terrace, intending to take a good breath.

There are advantages to a small company, at least he is the "big brother" there and there are not so many social requirements. Now that he has transformed into an 18th-tier artist under Ruici Entertainment, the number of people he needs to deal with has skyrocketed.

He likes to interact with people--but the less masked communication, the better.

On the open-air balcony, someone took a good seat ahead of him.

It's an acquaintance.

Jasper jiang was so happy that he came up from behind him, a head suddenly popped up, and he said, "Calvin Uncle! Why are you hiding here?"

The middle-aged man known as "Calvin Uncle" was startled. He quickly put out the cigarette B*tt in his hand and turned around nervously. A pair of big hands filled with the smell of cigarette smoke were about to press his mouth.

"Little ancestor, please keep your voice down! Can you please leave some peace for your uncle?"

Jasper jiang: "Pure? Calvin Uncle, others want to steal this excitement, but they can't!"

Calvin Uncle is the director of "The House". He is a contracted photographer of Ruici Entertainment. He is 48 years old and has spent more than half of his life with the camera. He has won several domestic photography awards. He has a dull and quiet personality. He is not unknown, but he is definitely not outstanding.

Jasper jiang met him when he was on a large film crew. One night, the two met at a barbecue stall outside Hengdian. As they chatted, Calvin Uncle got drunk, and Tulu revealed a big secret he had hidden in his heart: He wants to transform into a director and make movies.

But he had no directing experience, and he wrote the script intermittently in private. He had little confidence in this work, fearing that it would only make a mockery of the film.

Calvin Uncle really couldn't remember exactly what he said or did that night. The only thing he remembered was that he looked at Jasper jiang for a while with his drunken eyes open, maybe ten seconds, maybe It was half a minute - after he sobered up, Jasper jiang told him that not only was he willing to be the leading actor in this movie, but the salary was as low as 50,000 yuan.

Calvin Uncle was very embarrassed, thinking that he must have become drunk, so Jasper jiang reluctantly agreed because he was worried about his face.

Who would have thought that Jasper jiang smiled heartily and said firmly: "Calvin Uncle, this movie will definitely be successful! I will definitely hear your name at the three major film festivals next year!"

Calvin Uncle only thought he was joking, but who would have thought that Jasper jiang's debut directorial debut actually entered the Venice Film Festival! !

Thinking of this, Calvin Uncle looked at Jasper jiang with extremely hot eyes: "Everyone has a 'crow's mouth', but you are the only one who has a 'magpie's mouth'. You really got it right!"

"That's right." Jasper jiang laughed and said, "Didn't you hear what other people said, I am extremely lucky. I was a fortune-teller in my previous life. If any crew has me, just wait and make money!"

"Okay, okay, our fortune-seeking boy has had a hard time coming down to earth."

The two were chatting in a lively manner, but they didn't notice a figure walking through the crowds of people and slowly walking towards the terrace where they were.

The man looks to be in his early thirties, extremely tall, with a high nose and deep eyes. He is extremely handsome. Even in the entertainment industry where there are so many beauties, this appearance is really good.

He was wearing a tailor-made iron-gray suit, which made him look broad-shouldered, broad-chested, and waisted. A pair of long legs are wrapped in trousers. The trousers are slightly tight when walking, and the muscle lines on the legs can be faintly seen.

He had an outstanding demeanor, was calm and mature, and wherever he passed, all the hot eyes from around him were glued to him, but they could not slow down his pace.

Behind the man were two secretaries-looking figures, and the three of them walked towards the terrace together.

Calvin Uncle first noticed the extremely handsome man. His slightly hunched body immediately straightened up, and his face instantly burst into laughter.

Calvin Uncle quickly said hello: "Thank you, sir!"

Mr. Xie?

Jasper jiang's heart skipped a beat: Xie Chang'an, the OSS of Ruici Entertainment, is a man with great hands and eyes. He made his fortune in Hong Kong more than thirty years ago and single-handedly founded Ruici Entertainment Group. After so many years of ups and downs, Ruici Entertainment has now become one of the three major entertainment industry giants in China. Xie Changan frequently appears on the headlines of entertainment news, and eight out of ten items are about his anecdotes.

Xie Changan had just celebrated his sixtieth birthday not long ago, but the mature and serious man in front of him was only in his early thirties. If the guess is correct, the current "Mr. Xie" must be the son of the old Mr. Xie, the future head of Ruici Entertainment.

The young Mr. Xie didn't know Calvin Uncle, so the secretary behind him approached him and quickly explained a few words in his ear.

Mr. Xie nodded and turned to Calvin Uncle: "Director Li, congratulations on your work being shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival."

"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously." Calvin Uncle didn't feel complacent. He quickly picked up Jasper jiang from behind him and enthusiastically helped him to make connections so that he could show up in front of the big boss. "This is the male protagonist of that movie. His name is Jasper jiang. He is a young man with great potential."

Jasper jiang quickly raised his signature smile, showing eight teeth, smiling cheerfully and well-behaved.

"Hello, Mr. Xie, I am Jasper jiang."

"Jasper jiang?" the man asked, "Real name or stage name?"

"It's the real name. My mother is a Chinese teacher. The name is taken from the word brand name 'Jiangchengzi'."

"...It's fate." Mr. Xie raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Jasper jiang was a little confused and didn't understand how his name was related.

Seeing that he couldn't answer, the talent director next to him hurriedly came to the rescue: "Jasper jiang, the name of our Mr. Xie comes from the last sentence of Su Shi's "Jiangchengzi·Hunting in Mizhou". Isn't it fate?"

Su Shi's "Jiangchengzi·Hunting in Mizhou"?

Jasper jiang has a small problem, that is, when he memorizes something, he must start from the first sentence. For example, if you ask him "What is the English letter after q", he will start memorizing it from "abcdefg"; if you ask him "the last four digits of the ID card", he will start memorizing it from "110101"; if you ask him "what is the zodiac sign after the horse", he will start memorizing it. Start memorizing it from "Zi, Mouse, Chou, Ox, Yin, Tiger, and Rabbit".

As soon as the director mentioned the name of the brand, the reading machine in his mind immediately started working.

...

Fortunately, he was very familiar with the poem. He didn't stutter a word from beginning to end, and he fast-forwarded to the last sentence in two seconds.

...

Jasper jiang raised his head to meet the man's gaze, stretched out his right paw, waggled his little tail in a flattering manner, and a free rainbow fart came out.

This is his future immediate boss! big boss! Rainbow farts are nothing, he can blow out all the colorful black ones!

"So Mr. Xie, your name is Xie Tianlang! Your name is majestic and domineering, and you yourself have the temperament of a wolf and are full of leadership!"

Mr. Xie: ...

Calvin Uncle: ...

Two secretaries: ...

Jasper jiang: "???" What's wrong? Did he say something wrong? Why are everyone's expressions so strange?

Mr. Xie's expression remained unchanged, his social smile settled just right on the corners of his mouth, and there was no strange color in his eyes.

He slowly stretched out his right hand, held Jasper jiang's paw, and shook it slightly twice.

"Nice to meet you," the man said, "I'm Xavier."
