When will I be the queen

Chapter 393 Rushing Chapter

Oh, Cai Cai waved her hand, "My family doesn't raise them. They don't know how to raise them. Gardeners raise them."

Meng Ning's smile froze, and she subconsciously looked at Si Chen. Can the gardener's words be broadcast?

Si Chen felt that this was nothing. Sooner or later, Cai Cai's life experience would be made public. Wan Qian and Mei Zhang were already doing work in this area, so it would be good to reveal it appropriately now. Besides, since Cai Cai is such a waste, many people have long guessed that she comes from a good family. My family background has been made public, and Cai Cai and I are relatives, which also provides a very favorable basis for Cai Cai's good family background. The only difference is that Cai Cai's family background is not generally good.

Besides, Mei Zhang and the others will keep an eye on the show later on, and whatever is filmed now will be reviewed before it can be broadcast, so there is no need to worry so much. However, Meng Ning's kindness and caution must still be accepted.

After all, there are actually a lot of rich artists in this industry, but compared to the rich personas of male artists, the situation that rich female artists have to face, although there is no absolute prejudice, is definitely much more complicated. There is no way, the situation in society is like this, men are easily treated with tolerance. Even in the entertainment industry that is already very friendly to women, differential treatment between men and women is inevitable.

The most intuitive example is Xianjun. It seems that he is still the Immortal Lord. Before Xianjun, there were one or two rich female artists who were beautiful and well-off. They had no dirty information in their families. They were of good character and worked diligently. They were well-liked by the audience and had many fans. But the biggest problem was , the audience pays far more attention to their private lives than their works. Because most wealthy female artists cannot escape the two kinds of personal fantasies: princess dream and spoiled wife dream. In the end, I either became a guest star, Internet celebrity or the like, or I quit the industry.

After Xianjun established himself in the industry, not to mention rich male artists, but also rich female artists have benefited a lot, at least there are many more job opportunities.

There are many fans. To put it bluntly, what they think about rich male artists is that I want to live with you, and what they think about rich female artists is that I want to live your life. The number of such fans is huge, and they are divided into men and women. Yes, regardless of gender. Male fans want to be friends with rich male artists, become people in the same circle, and then want to replace rich female artists and live their lives. This mentality is actually the mentality that men are superior to women and that women are not worthy of living the life of the rich.

This is really not an extreme idea, there is real survey data. Therefore, almost none of the female artists and top artists in the industry who want to work seriously are created by rich people. But that's not to say that those wealthy female artists don't work hard, but that their efforts are slack. They are definitely not like Cai Cai, who seems to be working alone.

And it is precisely because of Cai Cai's work attitude that the company has great optimistic expectations for what will happen after her family background is made public. But there will still be tension and fear.

"If my family doesn't know how to grow flowers, what can I do? I can only hire a gardener." Si Chen said with a smile.

Meng Ning laughed and was speechless. Just, nothing to say. You still have money, otherwise, if you don’t know how to support it, you won’t support it.

Cai Cai looked at Meng Ning's smile and suddenly said, "Have you received some kind of training? I noticed that when you smile, you always purse your lips first." How should I put it, "It's not that you don't look good, it's just that you're very fake." Are you practicing to smile like this because of your appearance?"

As I said before, Meng Ning has a very handsome appearance, delicate to the point of being feminine, but from the looks of it he is still clearly a man. To put it bluntly, he is the chosen one for the beautiful male lead. And since he is the chosen and beautiful male protagonist, he is at a bit of a disadvantage in the context of the BG plot.

In fact, it can be said that the way his company arranged for him to switch from export to domestic sales is not unconscionable, and it is indeed suitable for him. He is definitely the ceiling type in the Tanmei market at home and abroad. It doesn't matter if your acting skills are not good, as long as you have a sense of camaraderie with your co-stars, even a little bit, you can have a name and a surname. Of course, the risk is not small, and it is very likely that there will be no chance of embarking on the path of a mainstream actor. But for the chance to stand out, be liked and be seen, there are still countless artists who choose this path. Maybe you will be the lucky one.

Cai Cai knows that there are several actors in China who got their start in this way, both men and women. Male artists have danmei dramas, and female artists also have lily dramas. Domestic promotions are all about vague titles such as two male protagonists and two female protagonists, but overseas they will be more straightforward. Of course, the content restrictions are also different. In China, it is the limit to have someone holding hands and looking at each other. Overseas, the scale will be larger. This is also the fundamental reason why many artists who export to domestic sales do not want to film abroad. No one wants to leave the opportunity to be blocked by domestic mainstream projects.

Meng Ning probably really didn't want to have this opportunity, so he basically eliminated the possibility of exporting to domestic sales. But he probably has no other choice but to work on himself. Therefore, he practiced this kind of smile - a smile with an obviously mean expression, which definitely lowered his appearance and did not match his overall image at all. To put it bluntly, you are destroying your appearance. It should have been more serious and obvious before. Now that the crisis has passed, he should want to change it. But the long-term habit of smiling has made his facial muscles have memory, so now there are still traces of meanness, and because it is unnatural, so Appear fake.

This is the result of Meng Ning not changing his muscle memory and fighting against habits. Most people may not be able to tell how sharp Cai Cai's eyesight is, but Mei Zhang and the others discovered it as soon as they heard Cai Cai's explanation. Of course, Cai Cai didn't say that he should have practiced it like this on purpose. He only said that the way he practiced his smile was wrong. After all, why he practices this kind of smile is Cai Cai's guess.

Si Chen suddenly realized, "No wonder I always feel like something is wrong when I look at you. To be honest, I used to wonder if you were doing something on your face, but when I looked closer, I found that you are absolutely original. It turns out it's because of your smile. You This must be changed. If Cai Cai thinks you have a problem, then there is definitely a problem."

Meng Ning kept staring at Cai Cai when Cai Cai said that the way he laughed was wrong. Naturally, it was because Cai Cai's guess was right. He wasn't angry, but he was scared.

It is said that Cai Cai has a golden touch, and whoever he clicks on will become popular. This is what is said outside and what is said in the company, but the legend in the company is more specific and complete. Cai Cai's eyes are camera eyes. When she looks at people, the camera is looking at people, and it's still a top-notch lens. Jarvis treats her as his apprentice and teaches her. Fang Xiaoning, who likes to train actors the most, will not teach Cai Cai anything. Because she knows what she is performing and what she should perform.

The managers in the company have all told the artists they manage not to be overconfident and dream of standing in front of Cai Cai, because the consequences may be completely unbearable for them.

"She herself is someone who can withstand top-notch scenes. Among the people around her, the strongest immortal king and the weakest are Cao Xin. Even Cao Xin, even if she has no acting skills, her face is top-notch. They are all audiences. In your eyes, you are a fairy-like figure. You think that after you have entered the industry, gained some fame, and been praised by fans for your beauty, you feel that you are also a fairy-like figure? Can you compete with them? It is simply ridiculous. Each of you counts. , in front of their gods, you look like a toad. To the audience, you look like a toad!"

This is what Meng Ning's manager said when he was asked by other artists to meet with Cai Cai.

Yes, after gaining some fame and being spoiled by fans, I thought that I was really a god, so I dreamed of standing in front of Cai Cai, being praised by her, even recommended by her, and entering the eyes of Jarvis Fang Xiaoning. Many artists in the company have delusional thoughts about this kind of thing. But in fact, fans are fans, and audiences are audiences. Fans are in the audience, but the audience is not in the fans. When fans look at artists, they have filters, and when viewers look at artists, they are not harsh or prejudiced. They are just ordinary people who only look at people who look okay, who look ugly, or who look disgusting.

Cai Cai and Xianjun are even good-looking in the eyes of many viewers. This is still the case when great directors like Jarvis try their best to use top-notch cameras to capture 70% of their beauty. And Cai Cai's eyesight is this kind of top-notch lens eye. Even if she is a little tolerant, the appearance that she thinks is slightly problematic may be disgusting in the eyes of the audience.

The manager later added, if you stand in front of Cai Cai with full confidence, but Cai Cai looks at you like grass on the roadside, will your mentality be good? Of course, Cai Cai is a very good person, and he will definitely not treat you as human beings, but in the eyes of others, you are superstars, and in the eyes of Cai Cai, you are just passers-by. How can you continue to go on well?

To put it bluntly, in this circle, it is very difficult to become an artist like Xianjun Cai Cai who seems to reach the top easily. Without their appearance, their talent, and their luck. If one of these three things is missing, reaching the top will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. Ordinary people, that is, ordinary artists, can reach the front line and be on equal footing with Cai Cai and the others in a certain project, which is a huge achievement. Then there are no less than two masterpieces, you can receive courtesy even if you are not popular, your fan activity is not bad, and you can sign long-term commercial contracts, this is very, very, very good.

This is what Meng Ning's agent expects from him. He didn't even dare to let him be seen by Cai Cai, because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear it. Meng Ning simply didn't have this idea himself. He was still in the unknown stage of rising, and his mentality was indeed not good. If after introducing himself, he was really treated as a passerby, he really couldn't stand it.

But Meng Ning felt that Cai Cai knew him and had a good sense of him. But he still didn't dare to be looked at by Cai Cai.

As a result, Cai Cai took the initiative to speak up. What's more serious is that, as expected, there are no secrets in front of Cai Cai. He was seen through, and Cai Cai saw through the purpose of practicing his smile at a glance. Even if Cai Cai didn't say it, Meng Ning knew that Cai Cai could see it.

They say Cai Cai is naive, but she can see deep into people's hearts. Some people say that this has something to do with her acting talent, because she is good at acting roles, so she understands others very well. Some people also say that Cai Cai is animal instinct. Some people say that she is pretending, pretending to be naive, pretending to be useless, pretending to be sincere. No one except Heizi believes this.

They are all in the circle, and they are pretending to be naive, not to mention people in the circle, but outsiders can see it. The eyes of netizens and viewers cannot be said to be sharp, but sparkling.

Oh, fans don’t count.

Si Chen saw that Meng Ning's face turned pale and he was speechless for a long time, so he was worried that he would be angry and would bear a grudge against Cai Cai.

He stretched out his hand and patted him, "Cai Cai is an occupational disease convict. He picks and chooses you just because you look good. It doesn't mean that you are not good. Don't take it to heart." How should I say, "What a good face with expressions." When we look at the sculptures when they are cracking, why do we all think they are beautiful? It’s because their expressions are frozen. It’s okay. You’re in such good condition, so take your time.”

After Si Chen finished speaking, he glanced at Cai Cai and said, "You are the one who buys goods if you don't like them. If you are so picky about referrals, do you think you have a job to introduce them to?" He made up his mind, even if Cai Cai didn't have one, he would I will find one for Meng Ning from myself. Whether this matter is big or small, if Meng Ning takes it personally, it will damage Renjie's morale and future, so no matter what, we have to make up for it.

Unexpectedly, Cai Cai really has it.

"I said it when we were on the road. Meng Ning's appearance is very special and can dominate a type of role. I remember that I had seen a script in the company's script library before. It was a heroine script. It was considered a drama. The heroine was The man disguises himself as a woman, and the hero and the woman disguise themselves as men. The country is hostile, but the position is unified. The enemies are all the same, so a fake phoenix appears, pretending to be a couple. The process of revenge has joys and sorrows, and there are differences of opinion. In the end, the original relationship is restored. Their identities became enemies. But a sudden plague brought the two of them on a united front again. In the end, they traveled incognito."

Si Chen burst out laughing, "What kind of travel? It's called sightseeing. This book is pretty good. Why hasn't it been approved?"

Cai Cai is very direct, "There are very few male actors on the market who can really dress up as women. I mean the kind that comes from the heart. It's not the kind of dressing up as a woman just to make the audience laugh at first glance, with a sense of sensationalism, but Really pretending to be a woman. In the past few decades, male artists have also played the role of eunuchs, but now they feel that playing eunuchs is detrimental to their own image. There are many female artists who play the role of women, but almost all of them have opera skills."

"If you are interested, I can help you contact the Immortal Lord."

Meng Ning's eyes flashed when Cai Cai was talking about the script, and he looked even more demented. Now when he heard that he wanted to contact Xianjun, he wanted to speak, but his lips were trembling.

"Because Xianjun can do projects, but I don't do them. But I have this book in my hand. If you want to read it, I can ask my agent to send it to you. To be honest, this book is lying around in the script library. Except for the male The reason why it’s hard to find someone for the main job is that it’s rated too low. The scripts in the company range from one star to five stars, and this one only has one star. Generally, a one-star script has serious flaws, with problems with the characters and the plot. This one Because of the male protagonist in this book, there is a problem with the character."

Cai Cai analyzed the plot issues in detail for Meng Ning, "As for the plot issues, I saw that some of the plot design was not smooth, the overall content was not sublimated, and the intention was frivolous. To put it bluntly, it is at the level of a primary school student. But it is not without its advantages. The male and female protagonists are both contradictory and harmonious, and the characters are rare and vivid. As long as the actors are in place, the plot is changed, and the content of group scenes is added, I think it will be a good drama."

Si Chen actually felt in his heart that this book was really not good. First of all, if the plot was not good, the project would not be established. It’s not the past now, and projects can be successfully launched without a script. However, Cai Cai could always see the bright spots in the script, so he spoke up and said, "It's really not bad."

But even if Meng Ning agreed, it would be difficult to find a heroine. "In costume dramas, the appearance requirements for actresses wearing men's clothing are still very high. The heroine in this script has to marry a wife when she wears men's clothing." , if the face is covered with heavy makeup and eyebrows, the audience will definitely scold and flip the table. If it is necessary to wear no makeup or even male makeup, this will almost dissuade many female artists. I think it can only be seen among opera actors. Or maybe I found it among actresses who are good at cross-dressing."

Si Chen looked at Meng Ning, who was obviously a little excited, and had to help Cai Cai explain her ugly words clearly, "Actresses who are good at cross-dressing dramas will definitely not like this project. Among opera actors, those who look good and have excellent acting skills are those who are smart." Son, you may not be interested in a small project in a TV series like this. And if you play the male lead, when choosing actors for roles with your own age, they cannot be more famous than you. Otherwise, you, the male lead, will not be more famous than you. You’re just a green leaf, the introductions aren’t for you, and you won’t be able to keep many fans.”

The most important point is, "You look really good, and you should be good in women's clothing. So, how many actresses can accept that they are dressed in men's clothing and be overwhelmed by a male actor in women's clothing? Even for roles, it's not okay. . Once you are not as good as a man, the word "ugly" will be stamped on your forehead. But it is really not possible to find someone whose appearance can't suppress you. After you regain your identity, you still look like a man disguised as a woman or a woman disguised as a man. The audience I still know how to curse."

Therefore, this book only has one star, which is really not unfair at all. Not to mention the level of primary school students, only in the eyes of primary school students, the students around them can pretend to be boys or girls at will. Even in high school, we all know how difficult it is to pretend to be a boy or a girl.

But as Cai Cai said, this role is really suitable for Meng Ning, and it can fully demonstrate his advantages in appearance and acting skills. If you are willing, it is not impossible to take the opposite role in the future. Looking at movies and TV shows, the male artists who can take the opposite role are all superstars and gods. Because first of all, the appearance is very good, and then the acting skills are even better. There is a serious gap in this part of the market. It would be great if Meng Ning could fill this gap.

But the premise is that Meng Ning is willing?

Cai Cai was also looking at Meng Ning, because Meng Ning had been silent but looked very excited. Cai Cai didn't know whether she was willing or not. She didn't force him to agree, but she felt pity for his appearance and the lack of market for handsome male actors.
