Oh, losing ten pounds in half a month was really unimaginable.
The acting training class startef at 8:30 in the morning, and it was important to ensure sufficient emotional output every morning. Starting from 2pm in the afternoon, the vocal and dance classes barely allowed Jiang Fanxing to evolve from a KTV passerby level to a semi-proficient level, and his dance level also changed from “just recognizing his limbs” to “like doing radio gymnastics.” At night, he also had to do strength training and fitness shaping, which completely exhausted Jiang Fanxing’s belly. Eating three meals a day wasn’t just about gnawing on vegetables and leaves.
Occasionally having multiple eggs, chicken breasts, fish, and meat was like celebrating Chinese New Year.
During the weight loss process, Jiang Fanxing realized that seeing celebrity performers eating happily on variety shows was really not fake.
He was really hungry.
He was so hungry that he could chase and bite even a passing cow.
This damn life was really uninteresting.
If he couldn’t indulge in eating and drinking, what was the point of making more money?
Eating and drinking was the biggest thing in the world.
Jiang Fanxing had even thought about how he would be able to get rid of the 30 million yuan in compensation if he tore up the contract countless times.
He was really hungry.
On camera, if artists gained ten pounds, it proved that they had a problem with the lens. Why didn’t anyone think about improving the camera instead of asking artists to be skinny one way or another? In that case, wasn’t it advocating a morbid dieting trend?
These days were unbearable; he wanted to destroy the world.
Jiang Fanxing’s self-confidence was crumbling, and his temper was getting worse and worse; even Chen Kele had to go around the corner when he saw him. When acting out the outbreak of emotional drama in class, Jiang Fanxing gave a particularly spot-on emotion, and Teacher Wang praised him for being born to be in this line of work.
“Brother Jiang, we’re going to the make-up trial tomorrow, so in order to cheer you up today, you’ll have an indulgent meal to eat.” Xiao Zhou had already figured out Jiang Fanxing’s temperament clearly over the past few days.
Although Jiang Fanxing’s mental state was a bit unstable on weekdays, overall, as long as one didn’t mess with him, he would usually only go crazy on himself. But if someone bothered him, he’d snap.
Shen Tianqing urged and instructed on the phone that tomorrow’s make-up trial for the cast of “Redeeming Life/Wansheng” was very important, and that absolutely nothing could go wrong; he would drive back overnight before seven o’clock tomorrow morning to accompany Jiang Fanxing to the make-up trial. Xiao Zhou would be responsible for calming Jiang Fanxing’s temper.
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhou still decided to personally cook a big meal for Jiang Fanxing.
“Dang dang dang, Brother Jiang, this way, we’ve already prepared it for you.” Xiao Zhou pulled Jiang Fanxing to the company’s kitchen, then conjured up a huge pile of things.
“Thirteen spice crayfish, steamed crab, seafood congee, grilled meat kebabs…”
There was everything that flew in the sky, walked on the ground, and swam in the water.
Jiang Fanxing’s mood heated up.
Lao Zi could again!
As long as one could still eat these delicacies, one’s life still had meaning.
Xiao Zhou saw that Jiang Fanxing had already rushed in to feast and had to silently sigh in his heart.
Brother Jiang’s temperament was really good; if it were the artists he brought in the past, they would have already taken the opportunity to make all sorts of unreasonable demands, and sometimes they would have to be subdued by Shen Tianqing himself. Jiang Fanxing was so easy to coax.
After eating an indulgent meal for a day, Jiang Fanxing became energetic during his workout.
It was so delicious, it felt like he lived in the world after this bite of food.
At five o’clock the next morning, Jiang Fanxing was dazed and confused, half pulled and half dragged by Xiao Zhou to the van, forced to drink several mouthwashes to rinse his mouth, and then the make-up artist did his make-up and styling; the stylist took different clothes and gestured back and forth on his body.
Jiang Fanxing would be a dead man if he didn’t wake up after this.
“It’s only half past five? The sun hasn’t even gone to work yet.” Jiang Fanxing glanced at the time on the watch that had been forcibly brought on, and his entire being collapsed.
He was wondering why he was so sleepy.
Yesterday, he worked out until one o’clock in the night, because at twelve o’clock in the night he also ate a barbecue, so he was pressed by Xiao Zhou to go to the gym for another hour, and he went to bed at two o’clock after washing up, and he had only slept for only three hours up to now.
“You can sleep on the way.” Shen Tianqing turned back from the co-pilot and pushed his flat glasses, making him look a lot more elitist. His entire condition looked a lot better than before.
If he remembered correctly, Shen Tianqing had gone out to work for more than three months, traveling to and from several cities to meet with different investors, discussing cases with different lawyers, as well as finding ways to clean up the mess made by the two bad artists before, rather than going on a holiday trip.
How could there be such a per-vert in this world who worked overtime for three months straight but instead became more refreshed?
“They are professional; they can help you change your clothes and do good styling even when you’re asleep; they were originally Qin Shi’s professional team, and now they’re all yours. There’s also this van; it was also Qin Shi’s; it’s now mortgaged to me.” Shen Tianqing continued, “We have to drive for two hours to reach the hotel where the film crew is located, and we have to be there before nine o’clock.”
“Boss, did you miscalculate the time? Arrive before nine; it’s only five o’clock now; a two-hour drive will get us there at seven!” Jiang Fanxing was shocked.
“This is a first-tier city; how terrible do you think the morning rush hour is at six or seven o’clock?” Shen Tianqing asked rhetorically, “It’s better to arrive early than late, and you’re still just a newbie.”
Jiang Fanxing was speechless.
“By the way, I heard that you’ve been very close to Chen Kele recently; he hasn’t been going to acting classes much lately; instead, he’s been shaping up.” Shen Tianqing frowned. “What the hell kind of idea did you give him?”
“Anyway, you don’t have resources to give him anymore. Just save yourself. Many artists have become popular again because they know how to make things work. “Jiang Fanxing yawned repeatedly.
Shen Tianqing sighed; he had already met Jiang Fanxing’s parents; he really couldn’t imagine why such normal parents would give birth to someone like Jiang Fanxing.
He could only say God was fair; he gave Jiang Fanxing beauty and intelligence, only to take away a little bit of normal people’s caution.
Luckily, he studied law in the beginning; if he studied finance, he might be his boss now.
Shen Tianqing thought so.
The makeup artist and stylist next to him glanced at each other and silently tended to Jiang Fanxing more attentively.
They originally thought that he was just a small newcomer who was very much favored; it didn’t occur to them that the other party could actually chat with Shen Tianqing like this. And Shen Tianqing actually kept smiling.
This was Shen Tianqing. Qin Shi used to be such a big shot and dared not confront him head-on, only daring to make small moves in secret.
This Jiang Fanxing, what exactly was his origin?
At seven thirty in the morning, Jiang Fanxing arrived at the hotel where the crew of Redeeming Life was located.
There were already several similar vans parked in the hotel’s underground parking garage.
What, were they all forced to get up?
Jiang Fanxing dealt with a few bites of breakfast in the van before following Shen Tianqing out of the car.
“I won’t say anything else; when you arrive at the set, be slightly more honest.” Shen Tianqing once again urged, “Although this role is bound to be ours, we absolutely cannot take it lightly. Many times, even after signing a contract to enter the set and filming for a month, an actor can be replaced; we’re just here to try out the make-up today, understand?”
“Don’t worry about this; I understand.” Jiang Fanxing tried to clear his head a bit; just now he had already fought for the opportunity to go back to catch up on sleep after the make-up trial. Naturally, he understood what things to do and what things not to do. “Before the dust settles on the results, I can pretend.”
Oh, when signing the contract, he himself would personally be the gatekeeper, and if the crew dared to breach the contract, he would sue them until they kneeled down and apologized!
Since the crew of “Redeeming Life” released the news that the female lead was Qiao Qiao, the rating of the project immediately went to the highest standard, and countless artists wanted to come to this crew to get a role.
Along the way, under Shen Tianqing’s leadership, Jiang Fanxing had already met more than a dozen artists who looked familiar.
Although Nian Nian Studio wasn’t very good anymore, Shen Tianqing’s residual power was still there, so even if Jiang Fanxing was a newcomer, he still received a lot of smiling faces. The scene of directly suppressing newcomers, as rumored, didn’t appear on Jiang Fanxing.
What a joke! Shen Tianqing was still here.
Once Qin Shi and Yi Zhu’s lawsuit was settled, Shen Tianqing might still be able to make a comeback.
The industry was this big, and there would inevitably be times when they would have to cooperate, so how could they offend him now?
Of course, there were also quite a few juniors who silently noted it after seeing Jiang Fanxing and instructed their teams to check him out properly.
The junior race track had always been crowded, and finally a Qin Shi collapsed. Before everyone could finish his share, another competitor suddenly appeared and was brought to this crew by Shen Tianqing. It was not wrong to be cautious early.
Salespeople were still worried about newcomers competing for performance, let alone the entertainment industry that involved fame and fortune.
There was no such thing as a happy and harmonious world, and there was definitely a w-ar of attrition.
Wherever the money flew, there was a colosseum.
“You guys are here; the director and the others are waiting. When the time comes, you guys act tough; I’m looking forward to you.” A woman with exquisite make-up and a designer outfit said to Shen Tianqing and Jiang Fanxing, “Go in.”
Shen Tianqing silently made a “Zhang” lip motion.
Oh, producer Zhang.
That was the one who promised to level the playing field with his deal.
Jiang Fanxing immediately changed into a genuine smile.
This one was a big customer.
Jiang Fanxing was about to say something when a person suddenly rushed out of the room and bumped right into Jiang Fanxing.
“Brother Jiang, are you alright?” Xiao Zhou immediately stepped forward in worry.
“Sorry, sorry.” The person’s voice was a little choked; he glanced at Jiang Fanxing, then ran out again in tears.
He looked familiar but was really good-looking.
Then immediately, two agent-like-looking people chased out.
“Xiao Qiu, Xiao Qiu, you’re the best; don’t care about the director’s words.”
“Xiao Qiu, today you can eat two candies, three, three, okay.”
Wasn’t this how children were coaxed?
……
Jiang Fanxing instantly remembered who this person who bumped into him was.
Wasn’t this the big C-star, Qiu Songsheng, that Chen Kele was dying to catch up with?
Wait a minute, wasn’t the image he created in front of his fans that of a cool male god who was obsessed with music? Was it okay to be scolded by the director and run out?
“The director was very harsh and scolded Qiu Songsheng to tears; he auditioned for one of the two male leads.” Sister Zhang sighed from the side, “He is an idol turned actor; poor acting is normal. But he has the fans, and he looks good and is willing; we can’t find a better rising artist than him.”
After saying that, she also looked at Jiang Fanxing with some concern: “Later on, if you have a bad audition and make-up test and you get scolded by the director, you can…”
“I’ll try not to make the director cry.” Jiang Fanxing craned his neck; his battle force was full. “Fu-ck him!”
Ah?
