Huayu started by playing Lao Ai

Chapter 206 The right to speak

On the morning of September 9, in Room 3 of Yanjing International Trade Century Apartment, Qin Lan shouted "I can't take it anymore", then lowered her long legs that had been raised high, and lay limply on the yoga mat in the living room of the apartment.

After a short break, Qin Lan picked up a towel, wiped the sweat off her face, and asked, "How long have you practiced today?"

Tian Yingying looked at the timer and said, "I have practiced five sets of movements for a total of 58 minutes. It is time to rest. Overtraining will affect my performance in the competition."

Since entering the finals of "This is the Actor" through the Chang'an competition area, Qin Lan has signed a contract with Western Film and Television, and her agent is Chang Jihong.

Tian Yingying had no experience as an agent and still needed to learn, so she temporarily worked as Qin Lan's assistant.

Because of Zheng Jing and Du Wei's support, Qin Lan was treated well in Western Film and Television.

In addition to providing her with an assistant, the company also rented an apartment for her and helped her move out of the basement of her home in Beijing.

Today, Qin Lan, after a month of training and five rounds of competition, has entered the top 5 in the country.

Each of the remaining contestants is very strong.

Qin Lan was under a lot of pressure, so she studied and exercised even harder.

Even though today is an off-day, I still get up early and exercise.

Hearing Tian Yingying's words, Qin Lan sighed: "This month is the hardest time in my life.

Voice, lines, movements, body shape, I have to learn a lot every day and do extra practice.

I really don’t know how I managed to hold on for this month.”

Tian Yingying encouraged: "If you work hard, you will get something. Look in the mirror. You are more beautiful now than before!"

An actor's job is to better express himself and enhance his charm.

After professional training, Qin Lan not only made changes in her makeup, but also made improvements in her speech and behavior.

The overall charm value has risen again.

Obviously, this competition was a very good experience for Qin Lan, allowing her to grow quickly.

Seeing the smug smile on Qin Lan's face, Tian Yingying continued, "Don't forget what President Du said. As long as you can win the championship of this competition, you will be the next Gao Yuanyuan and be able to star in an idol drama with Zheng Jing!"

The reason why Qin Lan worked so hard was because Du Wei had promised her a bright future.

As long as you win the championship in the amateur group, you can play the heroine of Winter Sonata.

This pancake made Qin Lan so full that she was full and excited.

Hearing Zheng Jing's name, Qin Lan said worriedly, "In the next round of competition, we have to act in the crew of Breaking the Cauldrons, but I can't act in fighting scenes, and I don't even have the basics of dancing. What should I do?"

From auditions, preliminaries to the national finals, "This is the Actor" has entered the top ten.

That is, 20 enter 10 games.

These two competitions are no longer confined to the studio, but directly enter the actual shooting crew.

The contestants go to the crew and watch the actors perform a scene on the spot, then divide the work and act it out to see who performs better.

In addition to the desperate move, the program crew will also go to the TV series "The World's Granary" to shoot.

The partners we are collaborating with this time are all large crews, which can not only improve the quality of the program, but also help promote the crew. It is a win-win situation for everyone.

Tian Yingying analyzed: "Action scenes cannot be learned in a short period of time, you don't need to worry about it.

Among the top 20 contestants, not many can perform action scenes.

Just follow what General Zheng taught you in the preliminaries and show your own characteristics. Don't try to be too strong.

Trying too hard will only backfire, so it’s better to be more bland.”

I have to say, Tian Yingying and Qin Lan are a good match.

Her analysis made Qin Lan feel at ease.

Qin Lan took a simple shower and walked out in her pajamas. She found Tian Yingying sitting in front of the computer, staring at the screen motionlessly with a focused and serious expression.

She walked over curiously and found that on the computer screen was Xinlang Entertainment’s special page about the selection of the “Four Heavenly Kings”.

[The results of the selection of the Four Heavenly Kings are out, Zheng Jing is far ahead in the votes, and Lu Yi, Ren Quan, and Chen Kun won the second to fourth places respectively. ]

[This morning, Southern Metropolis Daily announced the voting results of the Four Heavenly Kings. Zheng Jing received 22.3 audience votes and 1723 journalist votes, far ahead of second place Lu Yi. With an absolute advantage, he won the first place among the Four Heavenly Kings.

Lu Yi and Ren Quan ranked second and third respectively.

Surprisingly, the previously popular Hu Bin, Huang Xiaoming and Li Yapeng were all eliminated, while Chen Kun, who just became popular this year, was selected, which can be regarded as a surprise...】

There are many comments from netizens under this report.

"Zheng Jing is undoubtedly the first. He chose the Four Heavenly Kings, which is a waste of talent."

"Why can't Hu Bin and Huang Xiaoming compare to Ren Quan and Chen Kun? And Guo Xiaodong, he's also very popular."

"The Four Heavenly Kings are boring. It feels like except for Lu Yi, the other two are just here to take advantage of Zheng Jing's popularity."

"Indeed, the Four Heavenly Kings are not as valuable as the Four Dandies. Even Lu Yi, in terms of status and popularity, is far behind Zheng Jing."

"What about Zhou Jie? He is not much better than Lu Yi. Lu Yi's performance as Justice Bao was completely beaten by Zhou Jie!"

……

Compared with the Four Little Flowers, netizens are not very satisfied with the selection results of the Four Little Heavenly Kings.

On the one hand, Zheng Jing is far ahead of the other three. On the other hand, Hu Bin, Huang Xiaoming and Guo Xiaodong from Western Film and Television have starred in many TV series such as Jade Guanyin and Love Across Time, and are also very popular.

What’s more, there is also Jay Chou, who is at the peak of his career.

Thanks to "My Fair Princess" and "Young Justice Bao", Zhou Jie was definitely a top male actor in terms of popularity at that time.

It just doesn’t have corporate packaging or hype, so it’s relatively low-key.

Zhou Jie, Hu Bin and others were not selected, but Ren Quan and Chen Kun were selected. Netizens certainly did not buy it.

Moreover, Xinlang Entertainment and Southern Metropolis Daily are not on the same page. Their reports also emphasized unpopularity and deliberately stirred up controversy.

After noticing Qin Lan beside her, Tian Yingying said, "CEO Chang just called me. Regarding the selection of the Four Little Flowers and Four Little Heavenly Kings, our company's attitude is that we do not approve or recognize it.

If there are any related interviews, we need to speak with one voice.”

Qin Lan nodded and said, "I know. I will pay attention to it."

Tian Yingying refreshed the webpage and saw that the front-page headline of Xinlang Entertainment had changed. It was no longer a report on the results of the Four Heavenly Kings selection, but a statement from Zheng Jing.

[Zheng Jing: How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? I am not one of the Four Heavenly Kings.]

[I have been filming for Breaking the Cauldron recently, and I just learned last night that Southern Metropolis Daily, in collaboration with several media outlets, has mobilized hundreds of thousands of viewers to vote in the selection of the Four Little Flower Actresses and the Four Heavenly Kings.

After understanding what happened, I couldn't help but laugh.

In the entertainment industry, packaging and hype are common methods to promote artistes.

However, it is really funny that some media spent so much energy and resources and made such a big fuss to only select the Four Heavenly Kings and Four Little Flowers. In the Hong Kong entertainment industry, the Four Heavenly Kings were selected, and the title is very famous.

We are called the Four Heavenly Kings, isn't that automatically inferior to them?
Some people will definitely say that our mainland celebrities are not famous enough and can only be small.

Little did people know that when the Four Heavenly Kings were selected, Aaron Kwok was just a new male star who became famous for starring in a motorcycle commercial, but people dared to praise him as the king.

It doesn’t matter if you lack strength, but you must not lose your spirit and ambition.

This is why I produced the program "This is the Actor" and planned to select new actors or even amateurs from the program and package them into the four major actresses.

Don't the four great actresses sound good? Do you have to be the little one and call yourself the four little actresses?
Is this an instinctive self-humiliation, or do some media outlets have ulterior motives?

According to foreign media reports, I am the most popular male star in Asia, the Wings of Empire, the God of Archery, the Kung Fu Immortal, and a world-renowned best-selling author.

But in the eyes of domestic media, I am just one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

I cannot accept this stigmatizing title.

The chick knows the ambition of the swan.

Here, I solemnly declare that I am not one of the Four Heavenly Kings, I am the actor Zheng Jing. 】

Zheng Jing's statement directly refuted the legitimacy of the southern media's selection of celebrities and won the support of many netizens.

"I didn't notice it at first, but after Zheng Jing said that, I finally understood why Hong Kong stars are called the Four Heavenly Kings, and we are called the Four Little Heavenly Kings?"

"It's really disgusting to make such a big fuss to select the Four Heavenly Kings. It's better not to select them. There's really no work to do. There's no need to force it."

"Zheng Jing is really quick to react. If he accepts the title of the Four Heavenly Kings, then wouldn't he be automatically inferior to Liu Dehua, Guo Fucheng and others in the future?"

"Damn, these media are really insidious. They must have received money for this selection, right?"

"Zheng Jing is making a far-fetched argument. The media selected new stars who are young and just became famous. It's normal to call them the Four Little Flowers and the Four Little Heavenly Kings."

“What the hell is normal? Aaron Kwok was just becoming famous at that time, so how could he be included in the list of the Four Heavenly Kings?
Ren Quan is almost 30 years old and has been in the industry for seven or eight years. Zhou Xun is 27 years old, and Lu Yi and Zhao Yanzi are both in their mid-twenties. At their ages, they are considered old-timers in the Japanese entertainment industry. They are not young at all.”

"That's right. Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi were both born in the 1980s, but they are called the new kings and queens of pop, and there is no "small" in their names. Celebrity packaging is originally about boasting, and they automatically make themselves small. There is obviously something wrong."

After seeing these comments, Tian Yingying said to Qin Lan, “You have to work harder. If you win the amateur category and star in Winter Sonata, you will be one of the four major actresses and people will look at you with a magnifying glass in the future.

If your development achievements are not recognized by the audience, you will definitely be laughed at.”

Qin Lan said confidently: “But this is also an opportunity, isn’t it?
The four leading actresses will receive widespread attention and become very popular. I am sure I will be successful."

Tian Yingying asked in surprise: "Are you so confident?"

Qin Lan smiled and said, “I don’t believe in myself, but I believe in President Zheng.

If he dares to issue a statement, he will definitely be able to make the four major actresses famous. All I have to do is cooperate with him.

I will work hard to become a big star and make a lot of money. This is my goal and dream!"

Seeing the light in Qin Lan's eyes, Tian Yingying also became excited.

After Zheng Jing issued the statement, Gao Yuanyuan also spoke out, saying that she did not recognize the title of Four Little Flowers.

These two statements were reported by portal websites, Yanjing Entertainment News, Mango TV and other media, and quickly spread, causing great controversy.

Some people support Zheng Jing and Gao Yuanyuan, while others say they are too arrogant.

The southern media was not to be outdone and soon published several reports.

"Looking at the achievements of the Four Heavenly Kings, Zheng Jing still has a long way to go."

"The little king just can't compare to the big king. Zheng Jing has not won any awards."

“Idols change every year, but it’s hard to find a superstar.”

"How can there be big without small? If you don't recognize the Four Little Flower Dans, how can we talk about the Four Big Flower Dans?"

The southern media is very strong, but Zheng Jing also has channels to express his views, especially on television stations, where his connections are even stronger.

Western Film and Television also issued many press releases to refute the views of the Southern media.

In addition, the entertainment companies of other leading actresses and pop stars also followed suit and spoke out.

For a time, the controversy between the Four Little Flowers and the Four Big Flowers, as well as the Four Little Heavenly Kings and the Four Heavenly Kings became the hottest topic in the entertainment industry.

Many Hong Kong and Taiwan media also joined in to report on the controversy.

Many passers-by who don’t pay attention to the entertainment industry have also begun to understand these concepts.

Zheng Jing achieved his first goal, and the concept of the Four Great Dan Actresses gradually became popular.

The southern media were also very satisfied.

Although the authority was challenged, the topic remained at its peak.

With this wave of selection, newspaper sales have increased significantly and advertising revenue has also increased accordingly.

Once they make money, they hype the issue even more vigorously, and the controversy becomes even more heated.

However, things soon developed according to Zheng Jing's plan.

Because media such as Southern Metropolis Daily frequently use the Four Heavenly Kings and other Hong Kong stars to belittle Zheng Jing.

Western films and TV series, on the other hand, fought back fiercely.

Gu Genshuo's Lao Ai Studio took action and released a lot of explosive information about Hong Kong stars.

These Hong Kong stars have too many old stories, and all of them were reported by Hong Kong entertainment newspapers in the early years, so they are materials with evidence.

Even without mentioning the past, the recent silver media incident has had a wide impact.

Once these gossips came out, they immediately shattered the beautiful filter that mainland audiences had for Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

If these people can become superstars, why can’t mainland stars do the same?
Seeing this situation, the southern media became anxious and began to attack Zheng Jing and the artists of Western Film and Television.

But over and over again, it was all about Zheng Jing and the female star.

Zheng Jing’s scandals are no longer considered news, the audience has become accustomed to them.

Li Binbin has publicly called Zheng Jing "Dad", so the audience doesn't want to read any media reports about him keeping a sugar daddy.

There is no way, Zheng Jing’s personality is like this, his defense is too high.

On the contrary, the packaging of Hong Kong stars in the past was too successful, and now it is backfired.
There is Hong Kong capital behind the Southern Media. Their original intention was to praise the Hong Kong circle and step on the mainland, but the actual effect was to destroy the image of Hong Kong stars.

If the quarrel continues, the situation will probably get worse.

So after two weeks of arguing, the southern media took the lead in stopping the argument and no longer mentioned the Four Heavenly Kings or Four Little Flowers.

On the contrary, Western film and television companies took advantage of the popularity of "This is the Actor" and issued a lot of press releases about the four major actresses and the two ice queens.

Everyone was surprised to find that Zheng Jing and Western Film and Television had miraculously defeated the Southern media and won the right to speak in celebrity selection.
