Chapter 94: Not a Good Person [25 more monthly tickets requested]

Yanjing, a certain high school.

"That's it, thank you everyone."

With the start of school, the school exteriors and classroom interiors of the drama "The Sky of 18 Years Old" have all been filmed.

This also means that the scenes of actors such as Yan Danchen, Huang Shengyi, and Wang Luodan who play students have been completed.

A short but meaningful experience.

This is the most relaxed and best-atmosphere crew Yan Danchen has ever been in, although she has not filmed many dramas.

Huang Shengyi, Wang Luodan and other new students who have just entered the Beijing Film Academy have gained valuable practical experience.

"I don't have anything good to give you, but this is my signed new album. I hope you have a bright future and can carve out a niche for yourself in the entertainment industry." Shen Lang brought the bag over and gave them all the wrap-up gifts.

"Wow! Thank you Brother Lang!" Huang Shengyi was as happy as a child, jumping and dancing.

"Brother Lang, I love you so much!" Jia Yuliang hugged Shen Lang's arm, extremely happy.

"With this, I will have to walk sideways when I go to class tomorrow!" Ling Xiaosu has just become a fan of Shen Lang, and he has never listened to his songs before.

"I don't know if I can walk sideways, but I will definitely attract hatred." Zeng Lai didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain.

"I have to keep it well. If the girls in the dormitory see it, they will definitely snatch it away." Dong Xuan really couldn't let go of the album and looked at it carefully for a long time.

"Hehe, I was just looking for an opportunity to ask Brother Lang for an autograph, but now it's not necessary." Yan Danchen also prepared one for himself to save the trouble of returning it.

In the afternoon, Shen Lang treated them to a meal.

Because this drama had been filming for a while and some actors left after finishing the filming, and in the end there were only a few people left, so it was impossible to hold a wrap-up party.

It doesn’t cost much anyway, so just treat them to a meal.

"Brother Lang, Sister Yuanyuan, Director Ning, goodbye!"

"Goodbye."

There wasn't much sadness when the show ended; everyone was laughing and joking.

Du Ting drove the car out of the parking lot, Ning Hao sat in the passenger seat, and Shen Lang and Gao Yuanyuan got in the back seat.

As soon as she sat down, Gao Yuanyuan saw the newspaper that Du Ting bought in the morning. She flipped it open and saw the sales data comparison of Shen Lang and Na Ying's new albums. She handed the newspaper to Shen Lang and said, "Your new album sales have exceeded Na Ying's new album sales. She is slightly ahead by four days."

As Du Ting started the car, she suddenly said, "Being ahead in the early stages is not a win. Only persistence is the way to go. As long as the word-of-mouth of Alang's new album spreads, no one will be able to beat us."

Ning Hao followed up, “After Brother Lang releases this album, I think no one will be able to stop him from releasing his next album in the early stages.”

Shen Lang smiled faintly and said, "Let's be low-key in life and high-key in work."

Gao Yuanyuan suddenly snorted and said angrily, "Who is this person? He actually said that you are 'superficial but not deep, broad but not comprehensive, and in the end you will end up with nothing'."

Ning Hao replied: "It seems he is also a musician and wrote a song called "My Deskmate"."

Hearing this name, Shen Lang frowned slightly and blurted out subconsciously: "He is not a good person."

Gao Xiaosong became famous in 1994 with the song "You, My Deskmate" written for Lao Lang, but he had a high opinion of himself and looked down on others, and his career would fall in a few years.

He had never liked this person in his previous life.

The same is true now.

Gao Yuanyuan was a little surprised when she heard that. This was the first time she heard Shen Lang say that someone was bad. As she was now Shen Lang's number one fangirl and girlfriend, she had to defend him. She immediately said, "He is also a senior in the music industry. He is not a good person to say such things to a junior."

Under the current circumstances, some bad remarks will not affect the sales of Shen Lang's new album.

In the mainland, he is very popular and has many fans, as well as passers-by fans.

In Hong Kong, the promotion by Anita Mui and Rosina Chang brought a significant increase in sales.

In Formosa Province, he is known as the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, surpassing Tao Ze, Wang Lihong and Zhou Jie.

In Asia and other regions, he is a new best-selling Chinese singer.

As long as the basic market is not lost, even if it is listed as a key target by pirates, Shen Lang's album can still sell more than 100 million copies.

The next day, the crew of "18 Years Old Sky" started working in a villa. This was the final filming location, which accounted for about one-fifth of the scenes.

The shooting is expected to be completed in fifteen days.

Zhang Songwen and Zeng Lai will also wrap up filming today, they only have one scene.

Having eaten early last night, the two of them now feel pretty weird.

But it didn't affect the shooting and it was finished in the morning.

Before leaving, Shen Lang approached Zhang Songwen and said with a smile, "Teacher Zhang, can we talk alone?"

Zhang Songwen had a good impression of him.

Good personality, good character, hardworking and studious.

Unlike some famous singers who have crossed over to the entertainment industry and acted like big shots in the crew.

"Is there something wrong? Tell me."

"It's like this. I have a film and television company, and we are the one who invested in this drama. It's currently in its infancy and we're short of actors. I wonder if you're interested in joining us."

Yes, Shen Lang had taken a fancy to Zhang Songwen and wanted to recruit him into Julang. He took out a file bag and said, "It contains our company's plan for the next five years, as well as a contract for you. I hope you can consider it after reading it."

Zhang Songwen was stunned.

He chose to stay in school to teach because he ran into obstacles in various large and small film crews and had no films to shoot.

So when Ning Hao found him, he agreed to participate on the spot without even reading the script and cherished the opportunity very much.

Unexpectedly, after filming this drama, I was noticed by others.

Is it that God will not let down those who work hard?

Or is it just bad luck?
Seeing that he didn't reply, Shen Lang said, "If you have any requests, you can tell me then."

Zhang Songwen recovered and said quickly, "Thank you. I will consider it carefully when I get back."

Shen Lang smiled and nodded, saying: "Okay, then I'll wait for your call."

He had watched some interviews with Zhang Songwen after he became famous in the original time and space.

In 1999, Zhang Songwen was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy. He served as class monitor and became the president of the Student Union. He also won awards for directing dramas and graduated with first place in his major. Zhang Songwen was greatly encouraged and felt that his choice to become an actor was right. However, the frustration of having no roles to play kept him going for 20 years.

At that time, the crew often came to the class to select people, but he was never selected. The role of class monitor was just to help pass notes with a few names on them. People would say to him, "Class monitor, please call these students out after class."

In the first year after graduation, I went to hundreds of groups but didn’t get a single role.

In the second year, I worked as an assistant teacher while running around to hundreds of film crews, and my situation did not improve.

After graduation, I stayed on at the school as an assistant teacher for five years. My monthly salary was 1800 yuan, which was not enough to pay the rent. I couldn't get any roles, and my life gradually became embarrassing.

He likes to buy vegetables at night because it is close to closing time and the prices are relatively cheaper, so he doesn't like being a performance teacher.

In his own words, he was really unlucky during those years.

Shen Lang felt that Zhang Songwen would not refuse this contract.

He didn't make any big promises.

There are no contracts with particularly high commissions.

There is only a little bit of "freedom". There won't be many restrictions on filming and life, and the contract period is 3 years.

Whether an entertainment company can retain its employees depends either on the salary or the development prospects. If the salary is good, the employees will never leave. If the salary is not good, they will still leave even if there is a sky-high penalty.

Shen Lang has memories of his past life.

He believes he can develop the company well.

The actors under the company will not lack good dramas to shoot.

That's enough to keep people.
