I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

"Shanshan, now that you're here, why not give it a try?"

Jiao Junyan was a little confused. Among her roommates, Yang Mi was the most ambitious, followed by Yuan Shanshan.

Now that Yuan Shanshan has given up this opportunity, she is even more confused.

“Yanyan, Shanshan signed with Huayi Company three days ago,” Zhang Xiaofei said.

"what?"

Jiao Junyan was startled.

Huayi Film & Television is the number one private film and television company in China.

The company is larger and stronger than Shengli Film and Television Company.

"Well, I was lucky. A talent scout from Huayi Brothers came to the school to select new actors, and I was spotted at first glance. Then I signed with Huayi," Yuan Shanshan said with a smile.

Because Wang Jinhua led a large number of artists away from Huayi, there was a generational gap in Huayi's artists, forcing Huayi to sign new artists.

Huayi not only sent people to Beijing Film Academy to select artists, but also to the Central Academy of Drama, and signed many promising newcomers.

Yuan Shanshan was chosen by Huayi Academy because of her beautiful appearance, good acting skills, and school recommendation.

Zhang Xiaofei was actually quite good, and she was recommended by the school to Huayi, but Huayi didn't take a liking to her, so she saw that her roommates all had companies.

Feeling a sense of urgency, and no longer content with just getting by, I decided to look for opportunities at Chengsheng Film and Television Company and see if I could sign a contract with them.

"Congratulations, Shanshan," Jiao Junyan said sincerely.

"I received your blessing. From now on, we sisters will all be working in the entertainment industry, and we'll support and help each other," Yuan Shanshan said with a smile.

"Xiaofei, come with me. I'll take you to see Manager Xing. As long as you get her approval, signing a contract won't be a problem."

"When the time comes, you and I will be in the same company. If we sisters work together, we can overcome anything."

Jiao Junyan clenched her little fists and smiled sweetly.

"Sister Aina, this is my classmate Zhang Xiaofei. Her grades are much better than mine..."

Jiao Junyan brought Zhang Xiaofei to Xing Aina's office and introduced Zhang Xiaofei.

"Hello, Manager Xing."

Zhang Xiaofei quickly bowed and then handed over her resume.

Xing Aina sized up Zhang Xiaofei. Her appearance wasn't the type to be stunning at first glance, but the more she looked at her, the more comfortable she felt. She had a gentle yet firm and approachable beauty.

The face shape is a typical square face, with the forehead, cheekbones, and jaw all being the same width, and the outline is clear.

The face is on the longer side with a low jaw angle, but the facial features are evenly distributed without excessive sharp angles, so there is no severe drooping.

She has a high crown and a full head shape, and showing her ears or tying her hair up makes her look more energetic.

Her eyes were long and narrow, but bright and clear—so captivating!

Although her nose bridge is not high, it is delicate and bright. It has a low starting point and a rounded tip, which does not look fierce. She has a very approachable appearance.

Unfortunately, forcing a youthful makeup look only makes her look older and more dowdy.

This kind of woman is more suited to playing gentle and elegant leading ladies. If she has good acting skills, with a little training, she can definitely become famous. If the script is good, she can even become a top-tier leading lady.

What Shengli Film Company has no shortage of is good scripts, because the scripts that the boss provides are simply too classic.

“Student Zhang…”

Having made up her mind, Xing Aina wanted Zhang Xiaofei to perform, but suddenly she saw someone standing at the office door and immediately stood up and called out, "Boss."

"boss!"

Upon hearing Xing Aina's words, Jiao Junyan and Tong Yaya, who were organizing documents, were both startled. They turned around and saw Cheng Sheng standing at the door. The two immediately called out.

"Hmm." Cheng Sheng nodded and said, "Did I disturb your work?"

“No, boss, you’ve come at the right time. I’m planning to sign her. Could you help me vet her?” Xing Aina said, pointing to the somewhat reserved Zhang Xiaofei.

Cheng Sheng's lips curled up slightly.

He didn't need to vet the person; he knew who they were and their potential for future growth. (Zhang Xiaofei)

From rustic to sophisticated and stylish, she is the most late-blooming actress among the post-85 generation!
Wherever people gather, there will inevitably be complex interpersonal relationships and conflicts.

The entertainment industry, in particular, is, frankly speaking, a place where fame and fortune are pursued.

Everyone here secretly hopes to stand in the spotlight.

Everyone is trying their best to get noticed.

Having dreams, having ability, and then you need to find the right opportunity.

Some people may work hard their whole lives, but they never manage to stand out.

He always remains stuck in the ranks of minor, unremarkable characters.

To put it bluntly, there is indeed a big difference between being "popular" and "not popular".

When everything is laid out before you, even your appearance will undergo a significant improvement and change.

Zhang Xiaofei was outstanding from a young age, and at the age of 15, she successfully joined the cultural troupe of the Chinese Armed Police.

Cheng Sheng sometimes wondered why the Armed Police Cultural Troupe was still employing child laborers!

I learned that they went in to study.

After leaving the performing arts troupe, Zhang Xiaofei was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, where she became classmates with Yang Mi, Jiao Junyan, and Yuan Shanshan, and they even lived in the same dormitory.

It seems that Zhang Xiaofei's life has been quite smooth!

He doesn't seem like a late bloomer at all.

But from the moment she graduated, Zhang Xiaofei's life became full of hardships.

Unlike Yang Mi, who had a super popular TV series before even finishing university, she didn't.

Yuan Shanshan also met a benefactor, Yu Zheng, and quickly rose to fame.

Zhang Xiaofei faced the predicament of not being able to find a job immediately after graduation.

Even during the audition, the director criticized her for looking a bit rustic.

They even mocked people for only being able to make films about the countryside.

Zhang Xiaofei isn't stunningly beautiful, but she's not bad-looking either!

The fact that this director mocked someone's appearance shows that he has ulterior motives regarding the actresses he recruited.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaofei wasn't chosen; otherwise, she might have been at risk of being subjected to unspoken rules or exploitation.

In the following years, although Zhang Xiaofei appeared in many TV series, she only made brief appearances and played minor roles.

Zhang Xiaofei had no choice but to choose another path—sketching sketches—because acting in TV dramas wouldn't make her a star.

Unexpectedly, this is precisely why she shines.

Although her appearance wasn't particularly outstanding when she was acting.

However, in the world of comedy sketches, compared to those demons and monsters, they are more than capable.

Her sketches were all pretty good; "Women to the Nth Power," "Many Kinds of Handsome Men," and "Warm-hearted Baby" were all outstanding.

He has also appeared on several comedy competition TV shows.

Zhang Xiaofei has indeed had a smooth journey in the world of comedy.

He has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala multiple times, and has been seen by people all over the country. He is considered a well-known sketch comedy actor.

But she's only somewhat famous in the sketch comedy world; in the entertainment industry, she's not even a third-tier celebrity.

In her middle age, Zhang Xiaofei finally met her benefactor—Jia Ling.

Jia Ling and Zhang Xiaofei collaborated on a comedy film.

The movie "Hi, Mom" ​​was a huge hit, grossing over 50 billion yuan and winning the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress. (End of Chapter)
