Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

This was actually the first time Shen Ze had met Yang Mi. When he signed the contract, Yang Mi was in Hong Kong giving birth and in postpartum confinement. After returning to Beijing, she didn't come to the company often. The only interaction she had with Shen Ze was because of the Dilraba intimate scene incident.

However, they didn't meet directly back then. Yang Mi and Dilraba only met a few times. Later, she went abroad to film movies and do events, so she rarely went to the company. The most Shen Ze saw her was actually on the company wall, where her photos were the most numerous, the largest, and the best showcase of herself.

"Sister Mi." Although she's called an old woman, she's actually very beautiful. It's just that she has a bad heart. She wanted to advise her girlfriend to relax. "Just relax. Your boyfriend is very bothered by this." When she saw Zhao Ruoyao, Zhao Ruoyao also saw him and immediately asked him to come to Yang Mi's side, since he was an artist under her management.

"He's quite tall, almost as tall as Wei Guang, and even more handsome than in the photos. No wonder Reba likes him so much. He's very talented, acting in movies and singing. Keep up the good work." Yang Mi's voice is very distinctive, with a nasal tone.

Shen Ze had already spoken to the company about releasing the song. He had read the contract beforehand, and it was always okay to give advance notice of some things.

Shen Ze didn't respond, nor did he care to. He was immediately pulled away to get his hair and makeup done. He didn't think that Yang Mi's polite words meant anything.

However, he didn't know that Yang Mi was actually quite curious about him. In her opinion, Reba was quite bewitched by Shen Ze. It was too naive of her to let a man affect her career. What kind of magic did this man have?

Looking at it this way, her appearance is indeed acceptable, but it's not that bad. It just goes to show that the magic of first love is amazing.

……

Wearing a well-fitting suit, tall and with a good physique, even though the suit wasn't specially made but just a regular style, Shen Ze looked much more energetic.

This is Shen Ze's appearance in the movie "Silent Separation," a supermarket manager with no more than ten lines in total. After editing, his role in the movie should be even smaller.

However, the pay was still pretty good. The two-day shooting period brought in a total of 38,000 yuan, with some change and some in full. The star points added another 3,800 yuan. Everything was higher than what was paid for "Monkey King: Hero Is Back". The problem is that the effort put in was not as much as that for "Monkey King: Hero Is Back".

His song "Wukong" needs to be recorded soon. He has already contacted Tian Xiaopeng, but Tian Xiaopeng isn't a garbage collector. He doesn't accept whatever you submit. He said he'll listen to it first.

Shen Ze vaguely remembered that "Wukong" was an original song from a variety show that was quite popular, but it had nothing to do with "Monkey King: Hero Is Back". However, the fact that the system rewarded this song because of "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" meant that it was a good match, which was good.

Just as he was thinking about something, he suddenly heard a commotion on set. He had noticed it when he arrived earlier; besides the crew members, there was a group of young girls holding banners and almost surrounding the entire crew.

He knew why. It wasn't because of big stars like Huang Xiaoming and Yang Mi, or the Running Man goddess Yang Tianbao. They were popular, but what could drive people crazy was a blond guy, one of the four returned members, Huang Zitao.

These people who came back from South Korea are really popular. This is Panda Tao, who is relatively less popular among the four. I can't even imagine how exciting it would be if it were the top one.

This marked the beginning of the era of internet traffic, and it was from this time that so-called data began to develop rapidly. Data existed before, but it wasn't as detailed, and fan circles became even more frenzied.

Shen Ze's storyline is basically all about Yang Mi. It mainly involves her character knocking down the beer tower after meeting He Yichen, and him going to help her.

She also serves tea to He Yichen and He Yimei, but there is no dialogue between them; she is just an ordinary and casual character.

Even so, it's still more than 30,000 yuan. In the entertainment industry, it's really tough at the bottom, but if you have a little bit of resources, you can live quite comfortably.

"Sir, Madam, your tea." The cult leader nodded very coolly, which was a bit different from his real-life demeanor. The cult leader had high emotional intelligence; just now, when he saw him holding the cup, he even reminded him to be careful as it was hot. It didn't prove anything, but it was definitely better than saying nothing.

"Thank you," He Yimei replied. Shen Ze left the stage; his role was over. But in this play, he was just a minor supporting character. The main character hadn't even entered yet; the main character was Yang Mi.

In this movie, Yang Mi's Zhao Mosheng is the main character. Actually, according to common sense, Yang Tianbao in the past is fine, but last October, a hugely popular reality show appeared, "Running Man", which is unique in the current variety show.

The show was incredibly popular, and all the members gained a lot of popularity because of it, especially the only female MC, Yang Tianbao.

In terms of sheer popularity, she is currently the female character with the highest popularity in the entire entertainment industry, without exception.

However, she is known for her work in variety shows, not TV dramas, so she likely has some influence.

Even so, under normal circumstances, she wouldn't play a supporting role to Yang Mi. But it might have been arranged in advance, or it might be because of the cult leader. The cult leader also invested in this drama, and she also came. It's not that complicated.

Shen Ze's scenes for today are finished. He doesn't need to follow the crew anymore. He can come back here tomorrow to film the rest.

……

The filming resumed in the evening, and this time it was much quieter. Panda Tao didn't come, and the few scattered fans were kept away by the crew so as not to interfere with the filming.

With a crash, Zhao Mosheng bumped into the beer tower, and it was Shen Ze's turn to go on stage.

"Wow, no way, this is the third time today? Let me do it."

"It would be good if we could get everything done in two or three hours."

"I'm really impressed, you're incredibly strong." That's all of Shen Ze's lines.

Shen Ze was like a stack of building blocks; after finishing his lines, he started stacking blocks. Yang Mi initially helped, but later just watched the leader's direction. This movie was too direct; it wasn't realistic at all.

There was no wrap-up ceremony; they just finished filming and left. They even cancelled their hotel reservations. The production crew provided accommodation for two days, which was realistic and reasonable. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Ze checked into the hotel where Dilireba lived. However, since he was paying for it himself, he didn't book a suite but a single room, which was still within his budget.

After spending a few days with Dilraba, he should go back to Beijing to pack up. He has some things to do, like going to the company to put his fingerprints on documents. It's almost Chinese New Year, and the earnings are due for settlement so he can take the money home for the holidays.

I also need to meet with Tian Xiaopeng and book the recording studio. Although there are no filming assignments after the New Year, there are still quite a few things to do.

He was actually quite frustrated. "The Rose Thief" had already been released, but where would the profits come from? And they were waiting until the New Year to see it. This song wasn't a classic, and he was very curious as to why it became an award of the year.

Unbeknownst to him, when he returned to Beijing, a director was writing something when the music playing was "The Rose Thief".

"This song sounds pretty good."
