Rebirth: I made my fortune by navigating the entertainment industry

Chapter 7 Speechless! (The following is a separate, unrelated sentence: "Lowering the head powder!")
What ox can get tired, and what field can't be plowed to death?

Wu Qian said, "That's all bullshit."

Fields can be overcultivated, and cars can break down.

Even a brand new A8 can't withstand a driver flooring the gas pedal like crazy. It almost rammed into the gas tank. Damn it... I was about to die!

After straightening his clothes, Shen Luo helped the "battle-damaged" Qianqian to the sofa. Then he sat down in Wu Qian's boss chair and crossed his legs like her.

However, Wu Qian didn't have time to pay attention to his "overstepping" behavior. She was busy fixing her snagged stockings, and after a long time, she realized that no matter how she hid them, they would be spotted at a glance.

Wu Qian simply took off her stockings and threw them into the trash can.

"Mr. Wu, is it so hot? You're not even wearing stockings anymore."

"Get lost, it's all because of you!" Wu Qian, feeling weak and powerless, groaned twice, wiped her flushed face with her small hands, and then lay down on the sofa.

"Hey, Shen Luo."

"Ok?"

"I want Qing Ning to join the Gu Jian Qi Tan production team as well."

Actually, Wu Qian was the one who suggested bringing Qing Ning into the production team first, because it was a sudden idea of ​​hers. After all, Qing Ning had been with Jiaxing for a while, but had always been responsible for similar "odd jobs".

This won't work.

During the youngest and most beautiful time of one's life, one shouldn't just do menial tasks.

Especially for actresses like Xiao Qingning, whose looks are exceptionally good, there's an unspoken rule in the industry that, except in special circumstances, female celebrities can only become wildly popular before the age of 28.

Of course, this excludes veteran actors who have real talent.

However, with a large influx of newcomers into the industry, this unspoken rule has become increasingly valuable.

Wu Qian couldn't afford to gamble on whether Qing Ning would become a veteran actress, nor could she afford to gamble on whether she had real talent. So after letting her "do odd jobs" at Jiaxing for a few months to gain experience, they immediately wanted to arrange a formal job for her.

In fact, even if Shen Luo hadn't mentioned Qing Ning to Wu Qian recently, this CEO Wu, who was well-versed in Machiavellian tactics and the art of judging people, wouldn't have let Qing Ning off the hook.

The reason is none other than her.

This girl's looks are arguably the best among the new recruits at Jaywalk Studio. Even Qing Ning, with her face that seems to have been blessed with natural beauty for the entertainment industry, would have to give way.

For various reasons, Wu Qian ultimately made the decision first and then informed the authorities later.

However, Wu Qian also felt that Shen Luo would not refuse.

The first reason is that the role promised to Qing Ning is a very minor one in the game "Gu Jian Qi Tan," with very few scenes.

Reason two: Just from the fact that Shen Luo had been talking about Qing Ning in front of her recently, she knew that the two had a good relationship. It was impossible for her not to be given even a minor role, right?

"Let Qing Ning join the film crew?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo's expression turned strange.

"Yeah, let her get some experience and get used to life in front of the camera. Otherwise, if she keeps doing odd jobs, when will she ever make it?"

Hearing her say that, Shen Luo understood that Wu Qian wanted to start promoting Qing Ning.

Seeing that Shen Luo wasn't responding to her, Wu Qian propped herself up and sat up, her beautiful eyes gazing at him with spring-like eyes, "You don't disagree, do you?"

"Hmm... I agree."

"How about the role of Junior Sister Fuqu?" Wu Qian asked softly.

Shen Luo remained silent, only his lips twitched incessantly.

Damn it, Mr. Wu really overdid it by adding unnecessary details.

Yan Qingning is just like the superstar Dilraba Dilmurat from Shen Luo's previous life, even better off. What's the point of letting her join the Gu Jian Qi Tan production team? In the Gu Jian Qi Tan of Shen Luo's previous life, Dilraba Dilmurat played a supporting role with quite a few scenes—Junior Sister, Fuqu.

However, this character was heavily criticized by viewers of Gu Jian Qi Tan, and even Dilraba Dilmurat, who played Fuqu, was criticized by some obsessive fans.

The character of Fuqu has a very, very big problem.

The character's storyline is too weakly connected to the main plot. Fuqu's main focus is on her daily life in Tianyong City and her feelings for Baili Tusu. Her role in advancing the main plot is too limited, and many viewers feel that this character is superfluous.

Returning to Dilraba, her portrayal of this character was rather "loud," which some viewers found exaggerated and a bit too disruptive compared to the other more composed characters.

Of course, Shen Luo thought, what does this have to do with the actors?
Damn it, the character of Fuqu is inherently exaggerated, and the actress tried her best to fit that exaggeration, yet she still got criticized…

Speechless!
Down the powder!
Therefore, Director Shen simply removed the character "Fuqu" this time.

In fact, Shen Luo didn't even plan to let Qing Ning participate in this drama. He also couldn't guarantee what kind of evaluation Qing Ning, a newcomer, would receive for participating in this drama.

Why not just wait until I've created "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" and played Bai Fengjiu in it, becoming an overnight sensation?

When "Eternal Love" was airing, there were three super topics related to it on Weibo. The first was the TV series itself, the second was the love story between the female lead and the male lead, and the third was Bai Fengjiu!

It was thanks to this drama that Dilraba became an overnight sensation!
Now, Shen Luo wants Yan Qingning to replicate her path and even surpass her!
……

"Why do you look so reluctant?" Wu Qian frowned.

"Really? I wasn't forcing myself."

"Come on, do you think I don't know?"

Wu Qian rolled her eyes.

Shen Luo was speechless.

Indeed, he and Wu Qian knew each other very well.

"I don't care if you're reluctant or not. I'm the big spender, after all. Is it wrong to use connections to get someone in?" President Wu said domineeringly.

"Go through the back door? Fine!" Shen Luo coughed a few times.

I'll let you use my back door now, okay?

Then I'll try to get in through connections in the future, and I hope you won't refuse!

"Then, Mr. Wu, which role do you plan to give to Qing Ning?"

The main cast has already been finalized. Someone like Wu Qian, who has been working in film crews since childhood, would naturally not engage in such "capitalist" behavior as squeezing out others and stuffing her own people in.

If we really do that, then Qingning will need to familiarize herself with the script, and the actors will need time to work out together... which would definitely delay the filming schedule.

Moreover, Qingning is still a newcomer. If she's suddenly put in a leading role and performs poorly, it could negatively impact the audience's viewing experience and hinder Qianqian's ability to make money…

This is terrible for Qianqian, who is desperately short of money!

Upon hearing this, Wu Qian lay back down and whispered, "Give her the role of Qiu Xinrui."

"Well... this is possible."

This time, Shen Luo didn't force the issue and readily nodded in agreement.

The character "Qiu Xinrui" in the drama was played by Jia Qing in her previous life. She appeared in episodes 37 and 38. She was determined to find her beloved Zhuo Yunfei, but she discovered that her beloved was her father's killer. In her pain, she poisoned him and then committed suicide for love.

A tragic character, which just happens to give Qing Ning a little buff.

However, there are pros and cons. A good performance can give Qing Ning a boost and gain the audience's favor, but a bad performance can easily lead to criticism.

But it's still much better than the character "Fuqu".
