Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

Chapter 71 Maintaining Moral Integrity (Seeking First Subscription)

"Dilraba, I know you mean well, but I'm really fine. You've finally gotten this far, and the company is starting to promote you. Don't let some small things hold you back." Shen Ze really didn't know that Dilraba wanted a role for him. If he had known, he definitely wouldn't have agreed.

Take "Six Doors" for example. Not to mention Shen Ze, none of the other artists in the company came. This TV series is not produced by Jiaxing Media. It's just that they have collaborated before and produced a hit show. They have connections and ties, which is why Dilraba was pushed to the position of the female lead.

That's enough. There's no need to do anything extra. What if people misunderstand? Is it my crew or your crew? It's up to you.

"I know, I was just asking," Dilireba said. Shen Ze was indeed not very popular, but if Shen Ze didn't have foresight, he wouldn't have promoted himself. Artists like Gao Weiguang and Zhang Yunlong already had some fame, and he didn't have any core competitiveness.

"The Coffin in the Mountain" hasn't yet shown its power. In the company's view, it's just another rural film like the old ones, unlikely to become a hit. "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" is a web series with completely newcomers and no big stars. At best, it'll be like "Love in the Dark," maybe even worse. It's not that they have a problem with him, but maybe they do. Dilraba often talks to Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruoyao because of Shen Ze, but she doesn't tell Shen Ze, afraid of putting pressure on him.

"It's okay, I don't rely on the company. I have a future too. Maybe you won't be as popular as me in the future," Shen Ze said with a smile.

"That would be perfect. You'll make a fortune, and we'll buy houses, luxury cars, and all sorts of bags. I can then spend my money comfortably." Dilraba laughed as well.

"Go to sleep, don't talk anymore, you're so tired." Shen Ze hugged Dilireba.

"Um, aren't you going to do it?" Dilraba was clearly a little surprised; it didn't seem like something a boyfriend would do.

"You really think I'm a pervert? Go to sleep, you're so tired," Shen Ze said.

"It's okay. Maybe I'll fall asleep while you're doing it. I don't think that's ever happened before. I'll take a picture and see it later." Dilraba became interested.

"Go to sleep. What are you thinking about all day? What's there to film?" Shen Ze patted Dilireba's head. Dilireba smelled the familiar scent and fell asleep peacefully. Her boyfriend smelled so good.

Two days later, Shen Ze returned to Beijing and got to work; it was time for him to start filming "Monkey King: Hero Is Back".

For the next week, Shen Ze went back and forth between home and the recording studio every day. His vocal abilities also surprised Tian Xiaopeng; they were incredibly resilient.

Voice acting is tiring for the voice. When a person talks constantly, their mouth and throat will become dry, especially when using various emotions, such as excitement or a deep voice. However, with Shen Ze, it was just like normal conversation. The AI ​​voice was even more useful than expected.

They can even find time to record music.

"Don't push the high notes too hard, it's almost over." In the recording studio, Shen Ze took a sip of ice water and was recording "Wukong," the kind of recording studio recording that costs two thousand yuan a song.

He only needs the assistance of a recording engineer. He has the sheet music and just needs to help him check the pitch. The sheet music provided by the system is quite detailed.

"Let's do it one more time," Shen Ze said.

He was busy on one side, while on the other side...

"Dilraba, not bad. If you can handle the action scenes, you'll have a wider range of options in the future. You have a dance background, so don't neglect it." Zhao Ruoyao came to see Dilraba, mainly to check on her training results.

"Okay, by the way, Sister Ruoyao, about what I told you last time," Dilireba asked.

"Dilraba, you're an artist, not Shen Ze's manager. The company has its own plans for him. Your priority right now is to do your job well." Dilraba was just asking Shen Ze casually, but only Zhao Ruoyao knew that Dilraba had asked several times already.

Dilraba is not pretending at all. Since everyone knows we're dating, I can at least ask around for my boyfriend, right?

"Also, shouldn't you think about why you didn't get the roles in those movies you auditioned for before? Some opportunities, once missed, are missed forever. You didn't want to film kissing scenes or intimate scenes, and you even told the directors you were auditioning for this. Even if they weren't planning on filming those scenes, they would just give up after hearing that," Zhao Ruoyao said.

This isn't just idle talk; Dilraba really did it, and it's something that's troubling the company. The problem is that, besides Yang Mi, Dilraba is indeed the most recognized person by the outside world; she's too love-obsessed.

Dilraba just smiled. Anyway, she'll do what she wants. She doesn't want to betray her boyfriend for the sake of resources. Her love can't have any blemishes; it should be perfect.

Speaking of which, her boyfriend's graduation performance is about to start, and she needs to find a way to go back. It seems there are several performances, and she has to think of a way to give her boyfriend a surprise. Luckily, her boyfriend's graduation performance is delayed; if it were like hers, she really wouldn't be able to get leave.

This was Shen Ze's first time back at Jiaxing since the Lunar New Year. He had come back for business; he needed to report "Wukong" to the company. The song's copyright belonged to him, but there was a clause in the contract that if they continued to cooperate, there might not be any problems. However, if they broke off relations and he released the song without informing the company, it would be considered private work. Shen Ze wouldn't leave any leverage over him; he never intended to stay at Jiaxing for long.

He's definitely leaving Jaywalk Studio; he can't wait until his contract expires. Actually, when he joined Jaywalk, he had fantasies that the company would promote him, but now, he basically has to find all the work himself.

He doesn't care about supporting roles in shows like "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" or "Monkey King: Hero Is Back."

However, if he breaches the contract, he will definitely have to pay a penalty, but that's to be expected. He has never regretted joining Jiaxing Media. He has also figured out that, according to the system, to enter the entertainment industry, one must sign with a management company.

The system recognizes that you have stable proof of work in the entertainment industry, such as a contract with Jaywalk Studio or other brokerage companies, or that you have gained fame without relying on the system and do not lack work. The latter is more difficult to achieve.

"Shen Ze, come here." Zhao Ruoyao wasn't there, but they had contacted each other about this beforehand. Shen Ze was delivering some documents and was about to leave the company when Zeng Jia stopped him.

"Sister Jia, is something the matter?" Shen Ze arrived at Zeng Jia's office.

"I have something I want to talk to you about. Let's get straight to the point, Shen Ze. Did you know that Reba is in a period of resource vacuum?"

After filming "Six Doors," she didn't have any other projects. The company had previously pushed several opportunities for her, but ultimately she didn't secure them. Do you know why?" Zeng Jia said.

"Because of me?" Shen Ze asked. What was that all about? He already knew what he was going to say.

"Yes, Dilraba doesn't film intimate scenes. I think you know the reason why. You're a professionally trained actress, so you should understand these things. Dilraba is a bit sensitive about these things," Zeng Jia said.

"It's not that I'm being sensitive, it's that I'm keeping myself pure," Shen Ze said, he had to speak up for his girlfriend.
