Rebirth of the Entertainment Industry: the Birth of a Legend

"Dear Mr. Xu Shao, your credit card RMB account with the last number 6361 still needs to repay 121,001.88 Yuan for the June bill. Our bank will deduct the payment on July 26, the due payment date. Please keep the agreed account RMB balance sufficient. [Agricultural Bank of China]" Xu Shao was stunned when he saw the repayment reminder popping up on his phone. He knew how miserable the original owner was, and the less than three-digit balance on his bank card kept reminding Xu Shao that what he urgently needed to solve was his livelihood problem. Now a debt of 120,000 yuan suddenly appeared, and Xu Shao was about to cry without tears. The original owner had always lived a frugal life and was reluctant to even buy a set of clothes. Xu Shao searched through his memory but could not find such a large amount of expenses. The only one left was his ex-girlfriend. Xu Shao vaguely remembered that his credit card seemed to have been kept with her. "Oh." Xu Shao struggled for a long time, whether he should find his so-called ex-girlfriend and handle the bills himself. However, one can also imagine that the final result will definitely be asking for trouble. I had no choice but to accept my fate. Anyway, I was about to sign a contract with the company. How could I still be choked to death by these hundreds of thousands? At this moment, Xu Shao missed his old self very much. Although he was tepid, at least he had enough food and clothing and some savings. The house alone was worth at least tens of millions. Thinking of the house, Xu Shao suddenly wanted to know the whereabouts of the properties he left behind in his previous life. "As the sole beneficiary of Mr. Xu Shao's insurance and will during his lifetime, actor Jiang Rang will inherit all of Mr. Xu Shao's property during his lifetime." "Jiang Rang said that in order to fulfill Mr. Xu Shao's last wish and to better support public welfare undertakings, he will donate the residence where Mr. Xu Shao lived to Ms. He Wen's 'Charity Charity Fund' free of charge." Looking at these news, Xu Shao's hands were shaking. The insurance and will he made when he was deeply in love became his biggest irony. And that pair of scumbag men and scumbag women were stepping on his corpse, holding his property, and declaring his stupidity and their greatness with a sneer. Hatred comes, along with the unspeakable resentments and bitterness from the previous life. Xu Shao decided that since he had returned to his previous life, how could he let the pair of scumbag men and scumbag women continue to live freely in the world. Hell awaits them. Xu Shao sneered, his anger dispelling the peace in his body, but adding a touch of soul-stunning charm to him at this moment. The next day, Xu Shao, who had specially dressed up, arrived at Jiucheng Entertainment early in the morning. At eight or nine o'clock, the front door of Jiucheng Entertainment Building was slightly deserted, with a few scattered paparazzi waiting at the door. When they saw a tall, handsome young man getting out of a taxi, they all picked up their cameras and pointed them at him. Later, I found that the face was really unfamiliar. It was probably some college student who had just graduated from art school and wanted to try his luck. So they lost interest, put away the guy, and started chatting together. There was only Chen Chao, a young reporter who had just joined the "South China Entertainment News". He had been guarding Jiucheng for several days and had nothing to gain. Thinking that he was idle anyway, he took several photos of Xu Shao from getting off the car to entering the gate. After Xu Shao entered the door, he saw Lu Feifei, her assistant and a group of people coming out of the elevator. Wearing sunglasses, Lu Feifei has exquisite makeup and a strong aura. She walks on a pair of high heels with a heel of at least 8 centimeters. "Hello, Sister Feifei." Xu Shao stood still and said hello to Lu Feifei. Lu Feifei just glanced at Xu Shao, then said "hmm" and walked straight past Xu Shao. Her assistant Huang Lu knew that this should be the new artist who came to the company to sign a contract today. Seeing her boss ignoring her, she had no choice but to smile helplessly at Xu Shao to express her apology, then jogged a few steps and flew away after Lu Fei. Xu Shao looked at Lu Feifei's retreating figure, feeling happy, sighing, sad and helpless. Lu Feifei is like this, with a cold face and spikes all over her body, but she has a softer heart than anyone else. In the last life, Lu Feifei and Xu Shao got connected because of filming, and the two became one of the few close friends in the industry, and they were also one of the few witnesses who knew about his relationship with Jiang Rang. Lu Feifei, who is a few years older than Xu Shao, tolerates and supports Xu Shao like a big sister. However, even such a kind-hearted Lu Feifei was in the same mess and embarrassment as him emotionally. Regarding this, Xu Shao could only express his blessing secretly in his heart. "Sister Feifei, I hope you can be braver and make your dreams come true." When Xu Shao arrived at Huang Youcheng's office, only Huang Youcheng and Shen Yan were there. Because he debuted alone, the company specially arranged for him to sign contracts with the JX group of Jin Ran and Fu Zhixuan respectively. "Come, Xu Shao, sit down quickly." Huang Youcheng looked particularly enthusiastic when he saw Xu Shao coming in. This straightforward man used his unique expression to declare to Xu Shao that the company valued him. "Let me introduce you. I am Huang Youcheng, the general manager of Jiucheng Entertainment. You can call me Brother Youcheng from now on. This is Shen Yan, our company's top manager. She will only be responsible for you as an artist from now on. If you have anything, you can contact her." "Hello, Xu Shao, I am Shen Yan, you can call me Sister Yanzi." Shen Yan is a 30-year-old woman with short hair, slightly fat, neat personality, and vigorous and resolute work. She has been working with Huang Youcheng since she graduated from college. Under his careful guidance, in just a few years, Shen Yan has become the shadow of Huang Youcheng when he was a gold medal agent at Mo's Entertainment, and she has accumulated a certain network of contacts in the industry. "Hello, Sister Yanzi. I am Xu Shao. Please take good care of me in the future." With more than ten years of experience, Xu Shao could always maintain a calm, calm and self-possessed appearance no matter how excited and turbulent his heart was. He shook hands with Shen Yan and then sat down. "Xu Shao, this is a contract tailor-made for you by the company. Take a look at it and put forward any comments." Huang Youcheng handed Xu Shao a printed contract on the table. "Newcomers' contracts are usually signed for five years. In this contract, the company will raise 45% of the income from film and television shooting and record publishing, and 40% from advertising endorsements. The rest of the income will be basically split 50-50." Shen Yan was afraid that Xu Shao, a young man who had just graduated from university, would not understand the many terms in the contract, so she explained it to him carefully. "Okay, Sister Yanzi." Xu Shao quickly flipped through the contract, and then directly signed his name in the last signature column. In his previous life, he had read contracts that lasted for more than 10 years, allowing him to directly skip the lengthy clauses and find the most important ones. There is no doubt that the contract offered by Jiucheng Entertainment is extremely preferential treatment for a newcomer. In his previous life, he did not receive such treatment when he first entered the industry. On the other hand, the hundreds of thousands of debts he carried made him no longer have the confidence to bargain with the company, so it was wise to settle down as soon as possible. Seeing Xu Shao signing the contract neatly, Shen Yan and Huang Youcheng looked at each other in surprise. The unreserved trust of the young man in front of them also made the two of them, who were used to seeing intrigues in the entertainment industry, feel passionate. They must protect this child's sincere heart. "Xu Shao, in three days, the company will hold a media meeting for you, Jin Ran, Fu Zhixuan and their JX group to officially announce your debut. Then, Shen Yan is now in contact with Mango TV, planning to let you appear on their flagship variety show "Happy Camp" ". You are good at singing. We will try to give you a chance to show your talent. You can prepare well these days." After signing the contract, Huang Youcheng looked even more excited, as if he saw a new star in the entertainment industry rising in his hands. After coming out of Huang Youcheng's office, Shen Yan took Xu Shao around the entire building to get familiar with the company. In fact, for a new agency, Jiucheng Entertainment has begun to take shape. Although there are not many artists, the quality is high, and there is no transparency. The public relations department has gathered some elites in the industry, and their combat effectiveness is off the charts. "The company will help you find a suitable house in the next few days, and will also arrange an assistant for you to take care of your food, clothing and daily life. By the way, Xu Shao, do you have a Weibo?" Back in the lounge, Shen Yan asked Xu Shao immediately. As an emerging self-media platform, Weibo is the best tool to attract fans. "Not yet, then I'll apply for one now." Xu Shao, who has experience in his previous life, knows the important role of Weibo. There was a saying in his previous life, "Whoever rules Weibo will rule the entertainment industry." Xu Shao: "Hello everyone, I am Xu Shao. [Picture]" After applying for Weibo, Xu Shao immediately took a selfie and then posted his first Weibo post. Shen Yan took his mobile phone, looked at the following 0, fans 0 displayed on it, and sighed helplessly. By the way, I helped him follow several of the company's own artists, and asking them to follow him later would also help him increase his popularity. "I will immediately arrange for the company to help you apply for V. You have just debuted, and your early image is very important. The company will not help you buy fans for the time being. You need to rely on your own appearances and the accumulation of works to earn fans. And, most importantly, you must be careful when posting on Weibo. This thing can easily attract fans but also attract bad guys. If you make a mistake, the company will directly take back your Weibo account, and the company will manage Weibo for you..." Three days later Before the media meeting, Xu Shao first met with the two members of the JX group who were about to debut with him. 18-Year-old Jin Ran and 19-year-old Fu Zhixuan are both college students. They are about 178cm tall, sunny and delicate, and are among the popular handsome boys nowadays. In comparison, Jin Ran is more sunny and cheerful, while Fu Zhixuan seems a bit quiet and shy. "Hello, Brother Xu Shao." When the two saw Xu Shao, they bowed slightly and greeted him politely. "Hello." Xu Shao shook hands with them one by one. Seeing that although the two of them had only been together for a few days, they had already developed a lot of tacit understanding and had a hint of a boy band. Somehow, Xu Shao was also full of expectations for their future. After more than a year, Jiucheng Entertainment once again launched a new talent after Fu Ling, and the public relations department also spent a lot of effort on this. On the day of the meeting, not only various TV stations, entertainment magazines, and newspapers sent reporters to the scene, but also some video websites and entertainment self-media. "Hello, fellow reporters. Welcome to Jiucheng Entertainment's debut media meeting." In order to show the company's attention, Liu Hao personally hosted the meeting. "Now, please invite our new artists Xu Shao and JX Group to come on stage." "Hello everyone, my name is Xu Shao." "Hello everyone, I am Jin Ran from the JX group." "Guys, I'm Fu Zhixuan from the JX group." Looking at the three newcomers with different styles and characteristics, the reporters present picked up their cameras and pressed the shutter. It has to be said that Jiucheng Entertainment is indeed a rising star that has made a name for itself in the entertainment industry just three years after its establishment. The reporters present were all smart people with sharp eyes. As soon as they saw the three newcomers launched by Jiucheng Entertainment, they knew that as long as nothing unexpected happened, these three people would definitely become popular. Especially Xu Shao, with his handsome appearance, elegant temperament, neat short hair, bright eyes and white teeth, vaguely reminiscent of Bai Gu back then, he is sure to achieve good results in the entertainment industry. Compared with Jin Ran and Fu Zhixuan who were slightly nervous and restrained, Xu Shao seemed much more relaxed and natural when facing various questions from reporters. Even if some problems are a bit tricky for newcomers, Xu Shao can handle them well. This also made Liu Hao and Shen Yan on the side breathe a sigh of relief. After all, in the entertainment industry, only those who are smart enough and have excellent emotional intelligence can go far. So, amid the sound of shutters and reporters' questions, Xu Shao and JX made their official debut. And Xu Shao's road to revenge has just begun.
