“Brother Jiang, you can drink an iced Americano first to pad your stomach; there’s a boiled white egg and a small dish of nuts for you later.” At eight thirty in the morning, Xiao Zhou had already knocked on the door of the flat and prepared breakfast for Jiang Fanxing, then took him to class.

 

Jiang Fanxing looked at the iced Americano in front of him, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

 

Since he was now no longer eating the bitterness of his law firm internship, he was going to have to drink the bitterness of black coffee.

 

Life was always about suffering.

 

When Jiang Fanxing came to the classroom where the lesson was taking place under the guidance of his assistant, there were already several people waiting there.

 

The person in charge of giving them the lesson was an old actress who hadn’t been too famous.

 

The general public might not be able to name her, but they had more or less seen her roles in different dramas.

 

Before coming here, Xiao Zhou had already introduced the background of this teacher Wang in detail. She was considered a drop in the ocean of the acting world, very talented in acting, and even more rare, she was also very good at teaching people, more attentive than those famous acting teachers in the entertainment industry, and she was also from an opera singing background.

 

 

Unfortunately, after the disbandment of her theater troupe, she had very little income and later switched careers to become an actress, so she could only run around in the entertainment industry as an extra or for minor roles. In fact, it was even harder for middle-aged and elderly actors, especially female actors, to make a name for themselves. Almost all the roles suitable for middle-aged and elderly actors were male characters, and a lot of older actresses couldn’t take on roles, let alone the average-looking Teacher Wang.

 

Shen Tianqing discovered Ms. Wang’s excellent acting skills during a visit to an artist and immediately signed her up with a high salary. If there was a good script role suitable for Miss Wang to play, Shen Tianqing would help push for it; if not, she helped teach the artists in the studio.

 

 

In the words of Shen Tianqing, in just three months, the training provided by the academic class couldn’t teach anything at all. Teacher Wang, who came from a wild background, could better help artists find their feelings.

 

 

Teacher Wang didn’t fail Shen Tianqing’s expectations; she taught people quite well, often able to teach people with poor acting skills to the point where they were barely usable.

 

This was already remarkable.

 

However, quite a few acting teachers in the circle specialized in this line of work, and Ms. Wang wasn’t getting any younger and had limited energy, so she hadn’t proclaimed herself much.

 

The first time she saw Jiang Fanxing, Wang Xu knew why Shen Tianqing would want to sign Jiang Fanxing even at this difficult time.

 

In terms of appearance, Jiang Fanxing was very promising.

 

He was good-looking, but not the kind of big, handsome man that people loved; on the contrary, his eyebrows and eyes were extremely beautiful, and he looked quite classical. His face shape was also very smooth, and he hardly needed any minor adjustments. Just proper makeup and skincare could improve his shortcomings. This kind of appearance was suitable for both ancient and modern times and had a wide range of acting styles; he wasn’t a handsome guy with a strong atmosphere. Plus, his height wasn’t too high to match with an actress, which was quite impressive.

 

Those top handsome men and women in the entertainment industry were often labeled as “face bullies,” and even if they deliberately pretended to be ugly, there was no way they could play ordinary people. In the showbiz industry, countless good scripts were often cut from the perspective of ordinary people, which would make the audience feel a sense of immersion. Jiang Fanxing’s kind was good; picking the right look could make Jim look stunning or become clean and ordinary; he was extremely malleable.

 

For an artist, being malleable could be much better than simply looking good.

 

“Sit down.” Wang Xu faintly greeted Jiang Fanxing.

 

Jiang Fanxing glanced at the other three artists in the classroom, knowing that the four of them were all the artists in the studio.

 

“Actually, everyone is born to act. Just like when you were a kid and you broke something in your house and didn’t dare to tell your parents, you would lie and would pretend that you wouldn’t have broken it yourself.” Wang Xu laughed softly, “Even when I watched TV as a child, I would drape myself in a bedsheet to act as a chivalrous man or princess in a TV show, because when we were young, our’self’ consciousness wasn’t heavy, and we would easily imitate others. So when we learn to act well, we first have to learn to hide our’self’ first to imitate another person, and the beginning of acting is imitation.”

 

Wang Xu was really good.

 

Jiang Fanxing was taking notes while remembering carefully; he used to be the ruthless person who would sit in the first row in class when he was in college.

 

After a class, Wang Xu called the four students up one by one to perform.

 

Poor performance didn’t matter; the first thing was to practice more first and learn to act in front of people.

 

The first one was naturally Jiang Fanxing, who had just arrived.

 

“You have a very nice pair of eyes.” Wang Xu complimented without hesitation that Jiang Fanxing had a pair of eyes that were between phoenix eyes and apricot eyes. “This will make you look recognizable; if your eyes can act, you can quickly break out of the crowd, but if you don’t have any drama in your eyes, you’ll instantly look dull and lifeless and will become a representative of poor acting skills.”

 

“You haven’t even officially debuted yet; if your first drama is labeled as poor acting, you don’t know how many detours you’ll have to take in the future.” Wang Xu routinely persuaded, “Back then, Yi Zhu and Qin Shi were very talented in acting; that’s why they stood out…”

 

“This, I know, if it wasn’t for their good acting skills, how could they fool Shen Tianqing so badly? Even though the studio’s ledger is yellow, they still want me to pick up the slack.” Jiang Fanxing replied.

 

“Don’t say this in front of him.” Wang Xu coughed lightly, “What’s your family situation like? Don’t get me wrong, because it’s best to be an actor who needs enough life experience to have a better go at performing. Generally speaking, children with exceptionally good family conditions who grew up with people around them doting on them will have a harder time appreciating the essence of acting.”

 

A child who had been raised in love had a hard time experiencing that darkness, jealousy, and pain, which was equivalent to welding the window of acting before opening the door.

 

“My family is pretty well off; we lived in an old residential building when I was a kid before we moved to a building. My parents are both employees of a small county town, and I’ve seen everything.” Jiang Fanxing replied.

 

When he was young, his family also had a hard time, mainly because his grandparents were both seriously ill, and at that time, there was no perfect health insurance system as there was now, so it was naturally easy to drag the family down.

 

“Okay, try to act out a simple one first.” Wang Xu thought for a moment and opened the screen in the classroom, randomly selecting a clip of a domineering president and playing it to Jiang Fanxing, “Let’s start with the simplest domineering president first. This kind of character that is far enough from the audience to be played by imagination alone is the best to act.”

 

Jiang Fanxing watched the clip, his expression gradually stiffening.

 

Did he have to play such an awkward one when he came up?

 

It was hard to get through the morning class, take a little nap, and then have to prepare for the afternoon singing and dancing.

 

Jiang Fanxing and the other three artists in the studio also greeted each other slightly, not rushing to get on good terms with them. After all, there were only so many resources in the studio, so they were here to grab the big shot. It was already good not to do anything wrong privately. For now, being an ordinary colleague was enough.

 

The weight loss meal at noon was a bit more humane, and finally he saw meat. Although it was chicken breast, at least there was meat.

 

 

Another hungry day.

 

Go to sleep; you won’t be hungry when you fall asleep.

 

Misfortune never came alone. Jiang Fanxing was woken up again by the sound of moving music when he was sleeping on the sofa next to the training classroom for his lunch break.

 

Jiang Fanxing, who was in the period of quitting carbohydrates and crankiness, immediately blew up.

 

There was no public morality, ah, now was the lunch break time!!!

 

 

What is lunch break? Did you not learn it in primary school?

 

Jiang Fanxing furiously pushed open the door of the dance classroom and saw who that Dancing King was inside.

 

If he remembered correctly, it seemed to be the colleague whose stage name was Chen Kele, but his real name was unknown.

 

Jiang Fanxing had done his homework, and this Chen Kele was indeed somewhat capable. His looks at the time of his debut were not outstanding, but his dancing skills were very good, so he was all for being an idol. But there were too few places in China that were suitable for idols to showcase their talents. Finally, Shen Tianqing pushed him to participate in the talent show that became known as the “royal family” in the outside world, he squeezed into the last spot of the debut position and made his debut.

 

Idols, who came from a talent show, reached their peak when they formed a group but had been on a downward trend ever since.

 

What was worse was that, in this group where even Jiang Fanxing did his homework but couldn’t remember their name, there was also a big Center idol named Qiu Songsheng who debuted on a hiatus. He wasn’t only talented in singing and dancing but also had a stunning appearance. His traffic alone was higher than the total traffic of the rest of the group combined.

 

So, this idol group, which originally had little tacit understanding and came from different companies, went their separate ways in less than a year. Although it claimed to be “flying solo without disbanding,” it was actually no different from disbanding; it was just said like that to look good.

 

After jumping for an hour and a half, the other party finally stopped. Jiang Fanxing watched silently with his coffee in hand. He had already started rehearsing many scenarios in his mind where he would defend himself in court after k-illing someone.

 

“Did I disturb your rest? Sorry, I haven’t had any bookings lately; that’s why I want to learn more.” Chen Kele knew who Jiang Fanxing was; the three of them had long gossiped about him in their private group. This person was a highly regarded artist by Shen Tianqing who not only offered a contract with the “first brother” treatment, but he was also brought in by Shen Tianqing. It was even rumored that Shen Tianqing went to persuade Jiang Fanxing’s parents to sign a contract.

 

In contrast, his debut was equivalent to debuting for nothing. The studio had pushed a lot of resources for him, but he hadn’t grasped them. Now it was almost to the point where no one was interested. It was fortunate to have three or five small jobs in a month.

 

“The dance was already very good; it’s recommended not to dance anymore.” Jiang Fanxing said nonchalantly.

 

 

If efforts were useful, there wouldn’t be so many incidents in the entertainment industry where artists went to experts in metaphysics to change their names.

 

 

He just hated this kind of colleague who didn’t care about the situation and just worked hard. Can you work hard again after work? It was disturbing others’ lunch break.

 

He didn’t know if it was because Jiang Fanxing’s aura was scary but he still looked good, or because he was now tired and desperate. Chen Kele tentatively said, “That, are you interested in cooperating with me to sell CP? You see, we can have the studio’s mentor-brother relationship.”

 

Chen Kele’s words had already been spoken, and although there was still some regret in his heart, reason told him that this was the best way for him to turn the tables.

 

Jiang Fanxing was obviously the one that Shen Tianqing had found to replace Qin Shi; he might just soar in the future, and if he was able to fire CP with him, he would naturally have countless opportunities for announcements to come to him.

 

“Brother Jiang, why are you here? Brother Chen, sorry, Brother Jiang recently quit carbohydrates; bear with me a little. ” Xiao Zhou rushed in like a divine assistant and interrupted Chen Kele’s words. As Shen Tianqing’s confidant, Xiao Zhou knew very well that Shen Tianqing had no plans to renew his contract with Chen Kele, let alone form a CP with him and Jiang Fanxing.

 

 

Opening a studio was for making money, not for charity. Despite feeding Chen Kele so many resources, he couldn’t get up; Shen Tianqing had no choice.

 

Xiao Zhou wasn’t worried about Jiang Fanxing suffering; he was worried that Jiang Fanxing would dislike Chen Kele too hard and directly cause a fight.

 

“How presumptuous, no need.” Jiang Fanxing didn’t show any face at all. He wanted to form a CP to make money, not to become a bodhisattva. “But for the sake of everyone being colleagues, I suggest you don’t do CP because this track is too crowded and you can’t stand out. You can only be average in appearance, but you have a good figure. I suggest you try showing off your abs as a male bodhisattva idol; maybe you can make a breakthrough.”

 

“Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, what are you talking about?” Xiao Zhou was so anxious that he was about to cover Jiang Fanxing’s mouth.

 

Sure enough, having lost too much weight, Jiang Fanxing had already switched on the god k-ill god, Buddha ki-ll Buddha mode.

 

At a glance, his mental state seemed abnormal. Otherwise, how could he give such cold advice?

 

 

Chen Kele was silent for a while and seemed to be really considering it.

 

Hey hey hey, don’t really believe it!
