Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 243: Becoming a performing artist doesn't seem so bad.
A little after nine in the morning on May 2th.

Old Li was remotely checking various development matters of Weibo, Renren, and 360 Group from his office.

After Fat Bing knocked on the door, he led a spirited young woman in.

"Brother Yu, the company just signed a girl named Madana, 17 years old, an artistic gymnast."

"Fluent in English and French, she started studying drama and dance at the University of Massachusetts Weston College of the Arts at the age of 14."

"Including ballet, jazz dance, and so on."

Fat Bing explained in Mandarin with a smile.

Old Li looked up and glanced at her. 17-year-old Nina Dobrev?
That really can be described in a single word.

Her peak beauty was comparable to Megan Fox and Jessica Alba.

Original Tracks is a young actress who rose to global fame in 2009 with "The Vampire Diaries".

The biggest problem is that the shelf life is too short.

Skin and other signs of aging begin to decline around age 30, leading to a more mature, grandmotherly appearance.

But to be fair, Nina's looks are still appealing to many Chinese viewers.

This one has a sweet smile, but isn't as aggressive as Megan Fox.

But it's sweeter than the likes of Mao Xiaotong and Tang Yixin.

Old Li put down his mouse and asked in slight surprise, "Why is a 17-year-old girl coming to Time for an interview?"

Fat Bing looked at Nina Dobrev and said with a smile in English, "Nina, why don't you show us your talent? Even though I'm the CEO."

"But major projects are still decided by Brother Yu, such as the ones that may start filming this summer."

"The third season of The Big Bang Theory will feature the second and third female leads, who will become regulars in the Big Bang sitcom series."

Whether you can get this kind of role depends on your strength and qualifications.

Fat Bing's English score has also reached over 60.

There are no problems with daily communication.

Nina bowed deeply in surprise, "Thank you, boss. I know rhythmic gymnastics, ballet, jazz dance, etc. Which one should I demonstrate?"

Fat Bing smiled and nodded, "Let's start with rhythmic gymnastics, one at a time."

Li Wenyu, "..."

Target: Nina Dobrev.

Acting, (55/100).

Rhythmic gymnastics (75/100).

Ballet, (62/100).

French, (69/100).

English, (73/100).

……

A talented and beautiful young woman?
This is a petite girl who is 1.65 meters tall. She is very pleasing to the eye when she shows off her various talents.

Fat Bing brought over two cups of tea, and said with a hint of smugness, "This is Ma Dana, the little foreign girl who went to apply for the Beijing Film Academy and the art entrance exam."

"Passed the art exam, but the academic requirements?? That's a bit odd."

"After all, she attended a high school similar to an arts school in UMass, and she was on the rhythmic gymnastics team."

"I feel that with a few months of training, she could be the second or third female lead in The Big Bang Theory."

"They can all be handled with ease."

This version of The Big Bang Theory stars Blake Lively as the female lead.

He is 1.78 meters tall, which is taller than Huang Xiaoming!
Paired with 17-year-old Nina who is 1.65 meters tall, the height difference seems quite cute.

You're saying that rhythmic gymnastics with 75 attribute points can represent the Madana national team?
That's normal. How many people does Da Na have?

In China, this would be equivalent to a provincial team, and not even that outstanding.

Old Li thought for a moment and nodded, "Huang Xiaoming will film The Hangover 2 first, and The Big Bang Theory Season 3 will be filmed in the fall, starting in the summer."

"There are still four or five months of study left."

"And she has a decent foundation."

Nina's acting skills are truly quite unpredictable.

She may seem like just a pretty face, but she played two roles in seasons one, two, and three of The Vampire Diaries.

By seasons five and six, one person was playing four roles!
It can also win a bunch of Teen Choice Awards and People's Choice Awards.

Among the pretty faces in the global lineup, her acting skills are passable.

Originally, Li Wenyu was inclined to promote a white female supporting role and a Chinese female supporting role for the third season of The Big Bang Theory.

Countless people in the industry are scrambling to get this third female lead role.

This is something Liu Shishi had already complained about to Liu Yifei: as long as your acting skills are good enough, you can be a regular in sitcoms.

Then, for the ninth and tenth seasons, the per-episode salary could reach 200,000 to 400,000 to 500,000 US dollars.

Even if that's several years from now.

What level of pay? How much would you get for acting in 20 episodes per season?

Old Li was the only one who wasn't particularly reckless.

Otherwise, all the rules and the promises of benefits would scare him away.

After a moment, Old Li watched Nina finish her performance and clapped twice lightly. "Not bad, your posture and basic skills are quite good."

"After signing the contract, go to the 9th floor to prepare. We'll assign you a dedicated acting coach."

"The production team for the third season of The Big Bang Theory may move forward in June or July this year."

This girl could easily play the second female lead.

At least in terms of looks and physique, she completely surpasses the original.

The original Big Bang Theory was pure comedy.

I don't really care about the actors' looks.

The original third female lead, Sheldon's girlfriend? In Old Li's aesthetic, she was an ugly woman.

Nina trembled with excitement. "Thank you, boss! I really have this opportunity? It feels like a dream, a daydream."

She was influenced by a series of popular TV shows, including The Big Bang Theory, 2 Broke Girls, and How I Met Your Mother.

From Blake to Alexandra and Megan.

One after another, traditional American girls rose to fame on Asian platforms and became big stars.

That's why I decided to come for an interview.

At this time, she also tried to get involved in the modeling industry and take on advertising jobs.

I never expected that after trying it, I would stand out!
Old Li waved his hand, and Fatty Bing also picked up the phone and made a call.

A few minutes later, a professional agent came to guide Nina through the onboarding process.

Once the office was empty, Pang Bing laughed and said, "This girl has a sweet style. I feel that among sweet girls, Mao Xiaotong from the 05 class of Beijing Film Academy is a representative."

"She has more exotic charm than Mao Xiaotong, and she's more alluring."

Old Li, “…”

Is Mao Xiaotong from the Central Academy of Drama's 05 acting class?

Time Media, a flagship private entertainment group, is now going head-to-head with traditional Hollywood giants.

As they venture overseas, more and more of their projects are gaining popularity.

The butterfly effect naturally grows larger and larger.

Old Li lit a cigarette and complained, "If she's the third female lead, she'll only appear in the last episode of the third season. If she's going to play the third female lead, then the second female lead should be replaced with a Chinese actress."

"They still have a year and a half of growth period. They'll be 18 in a year and a half, so it's not a big problem."

Pang Bing laughed even harder, "I think her acting skills are about the same as Liu Yifei and Jiang Yiyan now, or even better than Tang Yan's."

Old Li was instantly bewildered.

In other words, Liu Yifei chose the action star path and is not afraid of hardship.

Otherwise, the other party also has an acting skill level of 50+.

It's a bit stressful.

Tang Yan is a naive and innocent girl who can remain naive even at 40.

Old Li sighed again, "Let Megan show her around and teach her some Mandarin. They can learn to dance together."

"There are also many supporting actresses in La La Land."

Musicals like La La Land have a slightly awkward quality, like those Indian movies where they dance all the time.

However, this is indeed a large category in the United States.

It's not like we haven't had some hit products before.

The ruler of La La Land is promoting Megan and spending money to secure her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

Adding a few more outstanding supporting characters wouldn't be a problem. Fat Bing nodded, "In your script, the female lead rents an apartment in Los Angeles to pursue her acting dream, and she has three roommates."

"Give one to Huang Shengyi?"

Old Li was a little confused, "Little Huang?"

Fat Ice spoke up, saying it was normal to give one to Thin Ice, and he wouldn't be surprised if it were given to Swallow as a reward.

Former competitors or targets they've always wanted to defeat.

The gap between the two social classes has widened, and it's widening further and further.

It's normal for Fat Ice to occasionally indulge in his perverse tastes and recommend those two.

What the heck is Little Yellow?

Pang Bing was also speechless, saying, "My hometown, Shandong Province Film and Television Production Center, is planning a major TV series called 'Crossing the Guandong'."

"The lead actress, or rather the second lead actress, offered Xiao Huang a contract, but she didn't want to accept it because she was afraid of suffering like she did when she filmed (Bright Sword).

"This girl is afraid of hardship and fatigue and only wants to win by doing nothing. I had to scold her before she answered the call."

"These kinds of big, high-quality projects are something that many respectable actresses could only dream of in their entire careers?"

"The script for 'Crossing the Guandong' has been written for a long time. It's a period drama told from the perspective of the Zhu family, the main characters."

"My hometown unit wanted to invite her because they felt she acted well in 'Bright Sword'."

"The salary has been reduced, but I feel that it's really worth taking on such a big-budget, serious drama at a loss."

"This is very helpful for an actress's career."

“I let her take the calls not only because it would be good for her career, but also because my parents would need to entertain guests if they wanted to continue expanding their cinema chain in the province.”

Old Li was speechless.

What are the personal relationships and exchanges with some official units in Pang Bing's hometown?

Some social obligations are truly unavoidable.

In particular, Time Entertainment has now signed a large number of high-quality young actors and stars.

Fat Bing's words made sense; he just wanted his parents to earn more money for movie tickets.

The goal is to expand from 20 chain stores to more prefecture-level cities and county towns.

A relationship that's too superficial won't work.

(Crossing the Guandong)? ? It's also a top-tier drama.

Will this kind of opportunity keep falling into Huang Shengyi's lap? Huang Shengyi is turning it down, not because of the pay or anything, but because he's afraid of the hardship and fatigue.

That's such a magical boomerang.

He smiled and nodded, "Then let Xiao Huang try being the female lead's roommate in La La Land."

This is simply to let Huang Shengyi learn jazz dance, tap dance, swing dance, ballet, modern dance, and so on as early as possible.

He was internally complaining.

Huang Shengyi has been influenced by the butterfly effect to this point, and is increasingly moving in the direction of a performing artist.

After Kung Fu Hustle 2, will there be (Bright Sword) and (Crossing the Guandong)?
She's definitely going to be Teacher Huang in the future.

Her acting skills, currently at the age of 70, far surpass many of the typical pretty faces.

Once she's in her seventies, even if she were to play the role of Lu Yike in "In the Name of the People," her temperament and acting skills wouldn't be inferior to the original.

This is after Yang Mi in "My Love from the Star".

How does it compare to the development of modern and ancient idol dramas such as (Forensic Heroes), (It Started With a Kiss), and then (Chinese Paladin 3)?
Huang Shengyi's acting has become much more serious.

…………

February 14th, Valentine's Day.

On the ninth floor of the Time Media Building, in the public dance studio.

Megan Fox is happily leading Nina Dobrev in dance practice.

Huang Shengyi watched from the sidelines; she had not yet formally studied jazz, tap, or other similar sports.

Megan had been practicing for a while and was sweating quite a bit. She had just gone to the water dispenser to get a drink when there was a knock on the door.

Then Blake Lively and Tang Yan walked in together.

Tang Yan greeted her with a smile, "You ladies are all busy, Sister Saint Clothes, I'm here to see you. You're really not going to be the third female lead in Legend of Sword and Fairy 3?"

"I'm going to give it a try even if I don't go."

Huang Shengyi was speechless and shook his head. "I'm not interested. If you want to try, then go ahead and give it a shot."

She's just the third female lead.

She's now in a more secure position than Yang Mi among the Eight Beauties of Time.

The original Chinese Paladin 3 didn't start filming until 2008, after Hu Ge had a car accident in 2006.

The rest period is long.

That kind of thing hasn't happened in this world yet, given the viewership ratings of the first Legend of Sword and Fairy game.

It can't compare to those top-rated dramas like Dark Glory and Goblin.

This was also a minor hit product of the year.

Tang Yan quickly thanked him, then stood next to Huang Shengyi and watched.

Megan and Nina Dobrev took a break and then rehearsed the dance again.

Even Blake was speaking English with great enthusiasm and joined in the dancing.

Tang Yan whispered, "The boss has a new script for Megan? I've heard the rumors too, how come it's a musical?"

Huang Shengyi shrugged, both amused and exasperated. "How would I know?"

"However, Megan said that if it's well-made, it has a chance to win awards like (The Wolf of Wall Street), like it did for an Oscar."

"She said that it would take one or two years of preparation to gain some confidence."

"Moreover, Senior Brother Li is going to write several songs for this project, with the same quality as Alexandra's that could reach the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100."

"Perhaps in the future, soundtrack DVDs will be sold like full-length albums."

"With so many good songs of this caliber, the musical film should also be quite successful."

Megan's public statement is that she doesn't expect the new film to be a box office hit, but hopes it will be a minor success in terms of music.

They have a chance to win a Golden Globe for television films, including an Oscar.

Both the Golden Globes and the Oscars have dedicated awards for music and film!

Music/comedy films are on the same main channel.

The original soundtrack album of La La Land was indeed a huge hit.

The digital version topped the sales charts in 53 countries on Apple's iTunes platform!
Aside from online sales, physical albums are also selling very well in the US and England.

Tang Yan nodded, looked at him for a while longer, and exclaimed, "Blake's legs are so long and white, I'm about to swear."

"Moreover, the two mixed-race girls have such exquisite and alluring features."

"If I were Senior Brother Li, I wouldn't let a single one of them go. I'd charge at them every single day."

Yellow Saint Cloth, "???"

Her face was full of question marks and exclamation marks.

Now, in this public dance studio, it seems like only Xiao Huang has short legs.

And they have no conscience at all.

A washboard, no wonder Old Li doesn't like her.

Huang Shengyi rubbed his face blankly and said, "I curse you to be single for the next twenty years."

After saying that, she ignored Tang Yan's reaction, stretched her body, and started learning the dance.

Tang Yan also has a pair of long legs that Huang Shengyi would envy!

Since he was scolded by Fat Bing and accepted the role in "Crossing the Guandong", it was because of this that he ended up playing a supporting role in a film that was nominated for a Golden Globe or an Oscar.

Xiao Huang has now been influenced by art and has developed a bit more artistic tastes.

Within the massive company of Time Media, quite a few colleagues are also vying for awards.

The most recent film project is Qin Hao, who has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

Starting with Huang Xiaoming, Professor Huang, the television industry has been dominating television festivals across mainland China.

The international prize pool is even larger, starting with the Squid game.

She's good at dancing, not to mention winning big awards, she could win all sorts of random awards like the US Golden Satellite Awards, the British Academy Film Awards, the US MTV Movie Awards, etc.

Why can't they always nominate a Best Newcomer or Best Supporting Actress?
This was a reward that left even the Yellow Saint Cloth somewhat bewildered or secretly pleased.

At first, she only dreamed of becoming famous and marrying into a wealthy family.

Becoming an artist after your dreams are shattered doesn't seem so bad.

Tang Yan, “…”
