Chapter 164 Talk about a new variety show
As the four of them were eating, they started talking about what happened in the hotel earlier.
"Did you hear any noise in the corridor ahead?" He Qing asked.
"What's that sound? It's quite quiet here today." Jia Jia was curious.
"Is it a female voice, shouting there? I seem to have heard it before." Su Mo took a sip of brown sugar water and seemed to have gotten used to the taste.
"Yes, yes, yes." He Qing nodded frantically. "Let me tell you, what a coincidence, this woman is in the same crew as us. She just joined the crew at noon, and her agent came to Director Zhang and said that the actress would be recording a variety show later, and wanted to adjust her part and shoot her part first. I don't know what happened in the afternoon, but the agency contacted the crew and said that they would replace the actress. Director Zhang didn't particularly like her, so he agreed immediately. The actress was forcibly taken away by the company in the evening. When she left, she screamed like a pig being slaughtered."
"So exciting, who is it? How do you know so much?" Jia Jia asked curiously.
He Qing took a bite of the meat slice and said, "I think her name is Yingying or something. I can't remember exactly. I heard it from a friend in the crew. I guess most people know about it now."
"Yingying!" Jia Jia opened his mouth in surprise, and the meat that was originally on the chopsticks fell off.
"Why are you so surprised? Do you know each other?" He Qing asked.
Jia Jia was obviously a little flustered, with a bit of loss in his emotions, "No, I don't know him. How could I know him?"
Although He Qing was a thick-skinned person, he still noticed something was wrong with Jia Jia and asked tentatively, "Did she steal your show?"
Jia Jia stirred his seasoning bowl with chopsticks, and without hiding it from He Qing, he whispered, "Yeah. It's probably her. I won't be on the variety show I'm a regular on next season. The director team said they want to replace it with someone with more traffic."
"What kind of vision does the production team have? If you weren't there, no one would have watched it long ago." He Qing patted Jia Jia's shoulder to comfort him. "This is good. I advised you not to go before. They don't care about you at all. Every time a female guest comes, they make you a foil. You get up earlier than a chicken, work harder than a dog, and you still get paid for selling cabbages. If it were me, I would have quit long ago."
"But I'm not like you. The company values me and I have a fan base. If it weren't for Momo's recommendation, the company wouldn't have helped me negotiate for this movie." Jia Jia took a sip of the soup irritably, but forgot that the soup was just served and he coughed all of a sudden because of the scald.
Su Mo took out a tissue and handed it to Jia Jia, "Then do you want to consider changing your agency? With your ability, you are fully capable of better development."
Jia Jia took the tissue and said, "I want to, but in my current situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to sign with a good company. I'm not as pretty as other female artists, and I don't seem to have much talent except being funny and able to endure hardships."
Su Mo patted Jia Jia's head, "Don't look down on yourself like that. Making people around you feel happy is also a skill. Before, it was because the company positioned you like this, and you took on the same type of programs, which caused visual fatigue. This time, you jumped out to act in a movie, isn't it a new attempt? Director Zhang must have considered it, and it's impossible for him to agree just because I recommended it. By the way, how long is your contract period?"
Jia Jia calculated, "About half a year left."
"That's perfect. Once the movie is released, it should have a good effect. Then you can carefully choose a new company. Our company is very good." After saying that, Su Mo did not forget to wink at Lin Ying.
"Yes. I know there is an agent in our company who is very experienced in cultivating actresses of the same type as you. If you come, I can help introduce you." Lin Ying nodded in response.
"Really?" Jia Jia's eyes flashed with anticipation again.
Su Mo patted Lin Ying's shoulder and said, "Look, your idol has said so, so there must be no problem."
"That's great." Jia Jia raised the soup bowl. "We toast to you. Thank you Momo for recommending this movie to me, and thank you Brother Lin Ying for your recognition. I'll drink it, you guys can do whatever you want." After saying that, Jia Jia tilted his head back and gulped down the soup.
Putting down the soup bowl, Jia Jia thought that he didn't hear any sound at all before, "Oh, by the way, how come you all heard the sound, but I didn't?"
"I live on the 7th floor, what about you?" He Qing asked.
Su Mo nodded, "I'm on the 7th floor too."
"No wonder. I live on the 6th floor. Luckily I didn't hear any sound, otherwise I might have taken the opportunity to go out and punch her twice." After saying this, Jia Jia did not forget to wave his fist.
"Hahaha." Everyone was amused by Jia Jia's actions.
"Actually, I have an idea. Do you know what 'small influence' means?" Lin Ying suddenly said.
"I know." Su Mo, He Qing and Jia Jia said in unison.
"'Little Influence' is preparing to create a live variety show similar to 'Friends', which will invite good friends together, eat and live together in a relatively independent environment for a period of time, and record the interactions between friends. This type of variety show is not very common in China, and I think we can give it a try."
"There are variety shows like this where you can make money just by eating, drinking and sleeping. It's so comfortable." He Qing said longingly.
Jia Jia raised his hand and patted the back of He Qing's head. "What are you thinking about? There must be some tasks or something like that. Look at which variety show nowadays is completely free to play."
"That's true," He Qing nodded in agreement, "but I don't think I've ever heard of this."
Lin Ying coughed lightly and thought: I just spoke too quickly and almost exposed myself. "I happen to have a friend working at 'Little Influence'. I mentioned it to him last time when we were having dinner."
"Then we can give it a try. It's a good opportunity for us to take a break." Su Mo understood. It seemed that this must be a finalized project. If she could get some opportunities for Jia Jiaduo to show her face, it would definitely be beneficial for her to change companies later.
"I'll join in, too." He Qing quickly raised his hand.
"I'm signing up too. I'm signing up too." Jia Jia also quickly expressed his opinion.
"Then I'll talk to my friend and see if I can get him to recommend me internally. But I can't guarantee that it will work." Lin Ying said seriously.
"Okay, for our upcoming variety show, we have to do one." He Qing raised the milk tea in his hand.
The four of them touched each other lightly, and the dinner was coming to an end unknowingly. Su Mo originally wanted to pay the bill, but the cashier said that a gentleman had already paid the bill. Su Mo glanced at Lin Ying and saw the smile on his face. He guessed that he was the one who paid the bill, so he had to give up.
