This Entry Was Better Chapter 3

When he came down from upstairs, Alex Luo realized that the place he was just now was a single apartment. After a cursory search of his memory, he remembered that this was the residence rented by Yaxing Studio for its artists.

Gu Yaxing, the founder of Yaxing Studio, was once a famous movie star in China. At the peak of his career, he had a falling out with his agency, so he set up his own business and started this studio, which was only moderately successful. Most of the company's artists are selected from various talent shows at home and abroad, and some ordinary people with excellent external conditions will be scouted by talent scouts. However, under today's increasingly mature entertainment mechanism, the emergence of the latter is becoming more and more common. It's becoming less common.

Coincidentally, Alex Luo happened to be one of those few groups.

Alex Luo grew up in an orphanage without a father or mother. He stopped studying after graduating from high school at the age of eighteen. After leaving the orphanage, he worked in a coffee shop to make ends meet. Because of his good appearance, he was discovered by Yaxing's scouts and signed a contract, starting as a graphic model. Later, Owen Su stood out from a singing talent show and was personally signed by Gu Yaxing. Gu Yaxing was at the trough of his career at that time and urgently needed a popular group to boost the vitality of Yaxing Studio. Alex Luo, who had the best appearance, was like this By coincidence, he was arranged to debut together with Owen Su.

In fact, his personality is not suitable for the entertainment industry at all, and the symptoms of depression can be seen from a long time ago. In the same group, there was a huge difference between Owen Su, who was cheerful and cute and loved by everyone, and his silence, so Owen Su gradually became popular. Apart from singing, he had other jobs, and Alex Luo acted as a foil. All he had to do was sit aside with an expressionless face, and his image gradually became fixed as a "silent and melancholy noble prince".

Everyone except the audience knew it was just an illusion. But different attributes have different markets. Although the album of the group is not popular, the two young and handsome guys also have a certain audience. There are those who are cute with Owen’s fresh temperament, and there are naturally those who are cute with Alex Luo's aloofness and arrogance. The two people have been together for a long time and have similar S3xual orientations. The studio is very strict about their private friendships. Maybe it is to relieve their loneliness, or maybe it is because they have been in love for a long time, so they naturally came together. After establishing a relationship with Owen Su, Alex Luo's depression gradually eased. The tacit cooperation between the two and his more outstanding performance allowed this originally tepid combination to slowly gain some popularity.

It was only after that that Owen Su was able to meet Adrian Cao. His subsequent breakup and departure without hesitation obviously dealt a heavy blow to Alex Luo. His depression symptoms that had been relieved suddenly became serious, and even medication could hardly work. This gave Alex Luo the current situation. Alex Luo can take advantage of this opportunity.

After taking a taxi with Wu Fangyuan, Alex Luo lowered the brim of his hat and borrowed the other party's mobile phone.

It is now May 2nd, ten days have passed since the day of his death. Alex Luo calmly turned to the angle where Wu Fangyuan could not see his phone, opened Weibo and entered the words "Adrian Cao".

Then a dull laugh burst from his stomach.

The news about his death has gone viral on Weibo. If you click on any picture at random, you can see his smashed and burned business car shot from various angles. Various familiar and unfamiliar users forwarded it and lit two candles with a sentimental eulogy. He lightly clicked on the popular Weibo, and there was actually a picture of Su Sheng with white hair.

If he hadn't looked at the fake person, he wouldn't have been surprised that Owen Su escaped unscathed. Owen Su was not an impulsive person. If he dared to drive him down, he must have the confidence not to be implicated. What's more, the car fell from such a high mountain road. The explosion alone was heard by Alex Luo more than twice before he died. It would be strange to find out the cause of the crash after it crashed like that.

Silently deleting all browsing history, he began to browse the Weibo that Wu Fangyuan managed for Alex Luo. As far as artists with a fixed exposure rate are concerned, the 30,000 fans shown at the top is really pitiful, and the content on Weibo also seems very boring, just some photos taken by Wu Fangyuan for Alex Luo during the filming. In the photo, Luo Dingqing stares straight into the camera with an expressionless expression, his eyes gloomy and distant.

"The Legend of Tang Dynasty" is a TV series with a style close to a documentary produced by the Chinese-language TV station with the highest ratings in China, which has invested heavily in filming. Produced by Chinese TV Station, CCTV's senior documentary director Zheng Kezhen and director Deng Jian who specializes in costume dramas jointly supervised. The male and female protagonists are tentatively decided to be played by Wu Yuan, the most popular actor at present, and Pan Yiming, the new queen of TV dramas. With these people alone This can lay a huge audience base after the broadcast, and the lineup is not unpowerful.

The TV series is adapted from an unofficial history novel written by an ancient person. It covers a wide range of topics, from the rise and fall of a country to the grievances of the harem. It is by no means an easy task to capture the essence of such a historical drama. However, once it succeeds, the response from this TV series will definitely reach an unprecedented height. The reason why Chinese TV stations are so generous is simply to hope that it can aspire to be the domestic TV station's ratings champion. To this end, they will use all resources to ensure the perfection of the TV series. This is good news for all actors who are lucky enough to participate.

Well-informed people have already started using their personal connections before the news of the casting spread. In recent years, domestic TV dramas have been in decline. Good scripts are hard to come by, and the current situation of more monks and less meat has made seniors and juniors in the TV industry want to In order to one day jump into a higher-level film industry, all opportunities that arise at this time are particularly rare.

Alex Luo hasn't paid attention to the news in the TV industry for a long time, but he had read the original work of "Tang Zhuan" before. Although the language was difficult and the content was absurd, Alex Luo liked the deviant description method very much. After reading the book over and over for more than ten times, he also had the idea of   playing his favorite character even for free if there was such a movie. However, after all, the audience in the film industry and the television industry The difference is too big. It is too difficult to prepare and film a script that is destined to not be a high box office and can only be sent to win awards.

Such a good drama will naturally attract countless famous actors to flock to it. Wu Fangyuan obviously never thought about the possibility that Alex Luo would win the award. From the moment he got in the car, he earnestly told Alex Luo to wait until he saw a slightly more famous actor. After the cast, you must go up and say hello to make yourself familiar. After all, if you want to go far in the entertainment industry, connections are definitely a condition that cannot be ignored. The resources of Yaxing Studio are too limited, and people like Alex Luo will naturally get less. If you want to become famous, you still have to look my ability.

The audition area was crowded, and it looked like a job fair, but the large number of people who came here were obviously not fresh graduates. There were countless handsome men and beautiful women everywhere, and some well-known artists were standing in the corner with their assistants wearing sunglasses and looking annoyed, as if they didn't bother to be with other newcomers. It's just that no matter what status and identity they have, standing in this place, they can only be the most ordinary people. Seeing each artist coming out of the glass door with expressions of excitement or disappointment on their faces, the crowd outside couldn't help but commotion.

Alex Luo, who lowered the brim of his hat to almost cover his entire face, didn't stand out among the crowd. Although his relaxed and leisurely temperament attracted some curious eyes, there was no one with eye-catching yellow hair behind him. After getting to know the assistant, most people lose interest and stop paying attention. This kind of audition meeting is very lively. No matter how smart the people present are, it can only be like that.

Wu Fangyuan stood on tiptoe and looked around, as if looking for someone. Suddenly he let out a low scream and pulled Alex Luo towards the crowd: "Brother Yang and the others are over there!"

Alex Luo stared expressionlessly at the hand Wu Fangyuan was holding on to him, and after thinking about it for a while he still didn't wave it away.

His agent Yang Kangding is a man who looks about forty years old. Wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, he had a square face and small eyes. His face looked very bad. When he looked up and saw Alex Luo and Wu Fangyuan approaching from a distance, he immediately widened his eyes and cursed: "Now we are all here." What time is it? You two still know how to come!"

"Brother Yang! Brother Yang, I'm sorry..." Wu Fangyuan immediately leaned over Alex Luo with a shy face, and pulled the other person's arm with a smile, "Ah Ding's phone is broken, and he is a little uncomfortable. , it’s a little late, isn’t this still catching up?”

The other party avoided Wu Fangyuan's touch in disgust, glanced at Alex Luo up and down angrily, and was stunned for a moment.

Luo Dingzheng put his hands in his pockets and tilted his head slightly to look at him with a look that was completely unfamiliar to him. Although he was only wearing simple daily casual clothes, his whole person looked very different from before. He didn't know why, but the idea of   scolding Alex Luo just now was slowly withdrawn. After hesitating for a moment, he just glared at Alex Luo, then turned around and continued talking to Wu Xiao who came with him.

Alex Luo only glanced at Yang Kangding and lost interest. This was a master who knew how to read the dishes. In the limited memory of the original owner, there is no picture of Yang Kangbei being pleasant to him. Probably seeing the original owner's meekness, weakness and lack of future, Yang Kangbei delegated some of the tasks that he should have done to his assistant Wu Fangyuan. He was concentrating on taking care of Wu Xiao, who had more development advantages, as if he was Wu Xiao's exclusive agent, and he didn't know how tightly he hugged her with his thighs.

Wuxiao shook his face impatiently and shook the audition book that Yang Kangding had forgotten when he went to meet the unsuccessful artist. When he saw Wu Fangyuan bringing Alex Luo over, he rolled his eyes: "I'm so full that I know I have no chance." One more trip."

Probably because of the large number of people at the scene, he didn't say this loudly, but Alex Luo caught it keenly and glanced sideways at the other party.

His eyes fell precisely on the crumpled page in Wuxiao's hand, and the character's name in the title immediately caught his attention.

hehe.

His eyes softened, his expression trying to smile. What should I do? This guy who had a bad relationship with the original owner in my memory seems to be bound to become enemies this time.

Wu Xiao was a little absent-minded at first, but he immediately caught Alex Luo's eyes, thinking that the other party was not convinced by his ridicule, and he frowned and wanted to have a fit. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he was faced with a smiling face. The subtle curvature gave the already outstanding facial features an inexplicable softness. The roaring anger stopped for a moment, and then it was like being caught by a wave of anger. A basin of cold water was poured on it and it was extinguished in an instant.

"...Hmph." He turned his head.

Zheng Kezhen and Deng Jian are both young. They don't have the energy of new directors, but more of the sophistication and peace accumulated over time. But despite this, after watching more than four hours of an audition performance that could be called a flurry of demons, I still couldn't help but sigh.

Ringing the bell to make an artist who performed the domineering role of an emperor like a village chief stop endorsing the lines, Zheng Kezhen rubbed her forehead to hide her exhaustion. Deng Jian on the side patted him on the shoulder: "The last one in this group."

Zheng Kezhen shook his head: "Isn't there another group? When will this day end? Don't I want someone who can act and have a sense of drama? How can it be so difficult!"

"Who is capable and would not go into the film industry?" Deng Jian is also speechless about the abnormal market mechanism in the industry today. Once an artist enters the film industry, few artists are willing to go back to make TV shows. The television industry is like an embarrassing school that cannot retain its trainee teachers. If these were ordinary directors, they would have no choice but to make compromises after seeing the prospects. However, these two old men have devoted their lives to art and really do not want to ruin their own brands when they are old. No matter how hard and tired they are, they still resolutely guard their own. The bottom line has never been compromised.

"Next group!" Zheng Kezhen took a sip of tea, steeled herself and shouted to her assistant, then turned her head to look in the direction of the door without hope.

The door was slowly pushed open, and a large group of tall, tall and outstanding-looking men and women poured in through the gap.

Zheng Kezhen frowned slightly, stared at the crowd for a long time, and suddenly pushed Deng Jian aside.

"What's wrong?" Deng Jian said.

Zheng Kezhen pouted angrily towards the door: "Look at that guy in the white shirt, take a quick look!"
