[accidental marking Chapter 14]
After coming out of the office, Zhou Yan goes to the logistics department to get the key and takes Cheng Xia to the artist apartment arranged by Tian Xuan to get familiar with the environment.
The artist apartment is located diagonally opposite Tianxuan building. The management of the community is standardized. It is not allowed to enter without a door card. The underground of the apartment building is a large parking lot with East and West entrances and exits, which is difficult to be surrounded and tracked by paparazzi. Living here, the safety and security of artists can be guaranteed.
Cheng Xia and her agent take the elevator up the stairs.
His assigned room is 3303. The 60 square meter single apartment, small as sparrow, has all kinds of internal organs. It has an independent bathroom and all kinds of kitchen utensils. A small cloakroom is designed next to the bedroom. There are soft fabric sofa and glass tea table in the reception room, simple emulsion paint on the TV background wall, a LCD TV and a row of bookshelves beside it.
The layout of the apartment is simple and warm. Cheng Xia takes a turn inside the house and likes the environment very much.
Zhou Yan handed him the entrance guard card and room key of the community and said, "Cheng Xia, you will live here in the future. Go back and pack your bags and move them here as soon as possible. "
Cheng Xia nodded: "OK. Sister Yan, I'll go back to pack up this afternoon! "
"Well, call me if you have something to do."
Zhou Yan drives Cheng Xia home. When Cheng Xia gets home, he eagerly packs up his luggage. His parents know that the company has arranged an artist apartment for him and help him to pack up. That night, Jiang Qiong cooked a big meal to see her son off. The next morning, her father drove to help Cheng Xia move.
Cheng Xia doesn't have many things, just a box of clothes, toiletries and some sports car models.
They send Cheng Xia to the apartment building. Cheng Xia excitedly takes her parents on a "one-day tour of single apartment" and puts all her sports car models on the wooden frame beside the TV.
The couple saw that the apartment conditions were very good, and finally they were relieved.
Cheng Yiming came to the French window, looked at the building diagonally opposite, and asked, "is that Tianxuan building opposite?"
Cheng Xia went to his father and said with a smile, "that's right. The headquarters of our company is magnificent, isn't it
Cheng Yiming said solemnly: "Tianxuan is indeed a powerful brokerage company. However, if you sign Tianxuan, it doesn't mean that you can soar to the sky, or you should be down-to-earth and work hard step by step..."
Jiang Qiong couldn't help interrupting him: "well, well, you start preaching again. Cheng Xia's ears are going to grow cocoons."
Cheng Xia is not bothered by his father's various reasons, because he knows that as he moves into the artists' apartment to officially start his career as an actor, he will have fewer and fewer opportunities to see his parents in the future.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his expression, walked over and held his parents' shoulders with a bright smile: "parents, don't worry, I will work hard. Maybe you'll see me on TV in a while
Jiang Qiong couldn't help laughing: "you can really talk big. How can I see you on TV in a few days? You are just a newcomer She patted her son on the shoulder: "take care of yourself and call home when you have time."
Cheng Xia didn't directly say that he would take part in Chen Yijun's MV shooting. After saying goodbye to his parents, he sat by the bed and sent a message to Zhou Yan: "sister Yan, I have moved into the apartment."
Zhou Yan quickly replied, "OK, come to Tianxuan's office at 3 p.m
***
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Xia appeared in Zhou Yan's office on time. There are still several people in the office. They all look very familiar. Several strangers in Cheng Xia Dynasty smile politely and go over to say hello to Zhou Yan: "sister Yan."
Zhou Yan nodded, got up and went to several young people and said, "you four are all new people who signed contracts with Tian Xuan at the same time. Let's get to know each other first."
I heard before that Zhou Yan would bring four new people at the same time after grouping. Cheng Xia saw them for the first time today and looked at them curiously.
One of the boys, who is over 185cm in height, is sunny and handsome, but Cheng Xia has seen too many handsome guys in the film academy, and he has no feeling for this kind of handsome alpha. Speaking of looks, Cheng Xia thinks that Mr. Pei is the most handsome alpha he has ever seen.
Alpha's self introduction brings Cheng Xia back to reality: "Hello, everyone. My name is Zhou Jiawen, a junior in the performance Department of drama academy. At present, the third man who has played for you, the second man in little corner, and the third man in midnight bell... "
He said a lot of drama names, Cheng Xia has never heard of them, obviously they are all online dramas without any water. But for newcomers, it's also normal to be familiar with low-cost online dramas.
Then a thin girl came out. Her eyes were cold and her voice felt alienated: "my name is Xue Ling. I'm a student of the film academy. I've played in two ancient costume dramas, canglan in the wind and xiaxingtianxia."
The third is a boy about 175, with a lovely baby face and a clear voice: "my name is Qi Xiaotian. I'm a freshman in the film academy. I've played many roles in TV dramas as a teenager and a child. By the way, I'm Omega, 18 years old. I just signed a contract with Tianxuan some time ago. "
Is this a child star? No wonder it looks familiar.
It's Cheng Xia's turn. He stepped forward and said, "my name is Cheng Xia. I'm 18 years old. I'm a freshman in the performance Department of the film academy. I don't have any formal works yet. I'm glad to meet you."
He said this frankly, but when they heard that he had no works, they didn't look very enthusiastic.
Cheng Xia doesn't mind either. The entertainment industry is like this. Many famous stars are supported and sought after by many people. The quiet and nameless little transparent can only get enough food and clothing at the bottom. No one is willing to waste too much time on little transparent.
He's a little transparent now.
The three people that sister Yan brought are actually competitive with him. Under the same agent, once the resources are allocated, it is very difficult for him to get a bowl of water. Cheng Xia will not be so stupid as to be a "good friend" with the same group of artists. He just needs to be able to get by on the surface and don't trip up behind his back.
After the self introduction of the four, Zhou Yan distributed the copied materials to everyone: "this is the campus play that Mr. Pei will invest in next, and the opportunity has been given to all the artists in group C. It's a rare opportunity for new comers to play the leading role or an important supporting role in a play. If you go back and have a good look at these materials, you'd better be familiar with them. "
"In addition, I've selected four assistants for you. Later, you go to the set to shoot, go out to arrange nanny car, book air tickets and meals, and so on. If you have any problems, you'll find the assistant. If the assistant can't solve them, you'll find me again."
She nodded to the people behind her, and the four assistants went to greet the artist.
Coming to Cheng Xia's side was a little beta sister. She was about 25 years old and had a bright smile: "Hello, Cheng Xia. Just call me sister Rong. I have been an assistant for several years. If you have any problems in your life, you can contact me directly. Including three meals a day, I can also go to your place and cook for you myself. "
Cheng Xia Chao showed a sincere smile: "OK, sister Rong!"
Zhou Yan and other assistants got to know each other, so they took a shot and concluded: "in the next month, the most important thing is to have a thorough understanding of the information I gave you, carefully consider the key roles, and participate in the audition in the best condition! This audition, the director and screenwriter will come in person, everyone has equal opportunities, I hope you will perform well, and strive to win the right role, understand? "
"Understand!" the four said in unison
Zhou Yan nodded: "go back, after the audition time is fixed, I will call you."
The four left the office one after the other.
Qi Xiaotian is very enthusiastic and takes the initiative to add three friends. Cheng Xia adds him out of politeness. Add Qi Xiaotian, and naturally add the other two, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. So, on the surface, everyone happily scanned each other's code and added wechat, and politely said a few words.
After walking out of Tianxuan building, the other three go back to the artists' apartment together. Cheng Xia thinks about it and turns to walk in another direction.
Ten minutes later, he came to a bookstore at the intersection.
The bookstore is decorated in a warm and elegant style. It also sells novels and comics popular with young people. Cheng Xia went to the counter and politely asked, "Hello, do you have the novel folding paper?"
The girl at the counter had a gentle smile: "yes. The hot fiction section on the front corner. "
As Cheng Xia walked around the corner, she saw a pile of new books called "folding paper" in the "popular novel area". The cover of the novel was a picture of two protagonists playing origami together in the classroom. Both of them in school uniforms were smiling. The sunshine comes in from the window beside and shines on the faces of the two protagonists. The warm light can't help but recall the simple and wonderful time of students.
Cheng Xia took two books and went to the stage and paid for them.
One for collection, one for reading.
Zhou Yan gave him a copy of the material given by President Pei, including a detailed outline of the story and biography of the characters, which is enough to understand what the campus novel tells - however, this material is arranged by the copyright department for president Pei.
Mr. Pei is so busy that he can't turn over every novel bought by the copyright group page by page. As the boss, he can only read the plot outline and human design to find out which book is more worthy of investment.
But as an actor, that's not enough.
Only after reading the full text of the novel or script can we have a more accurate understanding of the character's character and heart, and it is possible to play the role alive.
At present, the adaptation of the script has not yet come out, so Cheng Xia decided to read the original several times.
This opportunity is very rare. He must seize it.
With two new unopened books in his arms, the boy went back to his apartment in high spirits. He took off the cover and was just about to read it carefully. As a result, his mobile phone suddenly lit up and an unread message appeared on the screen——
"Xiao Cheng Xia, I'm your sister Yijun. The director of MV has already contacted you. I'll ask the nanny car to pick you up at 10 a.m. tomorrow. The designer will help you with your makeup and hair, and the sponsor will provide you with your clothes. You just need to take yourself there! See you tomorrow
"Cheng Xia was a little confused.
Ready to shoot so soon? Sister, are you too aggressive?
