Rebirth: I made my fortune by navigating the entertainment industry

Chapter 23 This guy is really ruthless!

Yan Qingning didn't understand the hidden meaning in Shen Luo's words.

Wu Qian understood, and with her face flushed, she glared at Shen Luo, signaling that if he said any more nonsense, she would tear his mouth apart!
Shen Luo rolled her eyes again.

This threat had no effect.

But talk is talk, and jokes are jokes.

Shen Luo still remembered the real reason he called Yan Qingning here.

He first handed Wu Qian and Yan Qingning each a script, saying it was the script for "Swords of Legends," and that the two of them would rehearse in the room. He added that he would point out any problems.

Yan Qingning will still play the role she was originally assigned.

Wu Qian plays the male lead.

Because Yan Qingning's character in the drama doesn't have much contact with the female lead, but rather most of the dialogue scenes are between her and the male lead.

……

The two of them started at 8 p.m. and continued until almost 11 p.m. They were so tired that Yan Qingning and Wu Qian drank six bottles of mineral water. Of course, Shen Luo also drank quite a bit.

Shen Luo drank even more.

Because he kept correcting Yan Qingning's mistakes.

This Shen Luo isn't the "Brother Shen Luo" Yan Qingning was talking about; he's Director Shen back on set, pointing his finger at her and yelling at her.

Yan Qingning was severely criticized.

In the end, her performance was really bad, so Shen Luo simply told her to go to the bedroom to copy the script.

With her little mouth pouting and her face downcast, Yan Qingning closed the bedroom door. Wu Qian sat down next to Shen Luo and took off her coat. "Isn't that too strict? You really made Qingning copy the script?"

"Well, let me tell you, even if she's a graduate of a professional acting school, it's one thing if she gets nervous in front of the camera and mispronounces her lines, or can't even make the right facial expressions, but what about now?" Shen Luo was truly exasperated. "There are no cameras around, right? There are no outsiders here, right?"

"And the result? Look at those last few lines of dialogue. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a poetry recitation!"

Wu Qian could only laugh it off.

To avoid Yan Qingning getting scolded after copying the lines, and to cool down her man, Wu Qian stretched her two fair legs into Shen Luo's arms.

Shen Luo glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing?"

"This will help cool you down."

"You fucking kicked me to relieve my heat?"

"Hmm, don't men all like feet covered in stockings? Or is it..."

"Okay, I really like it."

"Then feel it, and give me a massage while you're at it."

"You became my technician?"

"So, are you going to press it or not?"

"Men and women should not touch each other!" Shen Luo was about to kick her back.

Wu Qian grinned and put her foot on it again, "Oh, what's with all this talk about men and women not touching each other? I'm wearing stockings!"

Shen Luo snorted, but still placed his hand on her foot and gently massaged it. "That brat Yan Qingning, I don't even want to think about how she would be scolded by those old directors if she went to work on another film set."

Wu Qian nodded in deep agreement, "Indeed, it's okay if it's a female director, but if it's a male director... sigh, this girl is so naive, she could easily be fooled."

"So, you can understand why I was so angry, right?"

Shen Luo sighed softly, "Even putting those thoughts aside, her current performance is really bad. To put it bluntly, she can't generate any revenue for the company."

“You can generate income just by looking good,” Wu Qian objected.

Is such that.

Does one absolutely need real talent to succeed in the entertainment industry?
No, that's not true at all. Or rather, that's not true of the entertainment industry today. Ten years ago, you couldn't have fans without talent, but now that the internet is so developed, online trolls have become incredibly powerful.

A face that's attractive enough can even generate income!
"That's a fucking internet celebrity. Besides, in the entertainment industry, have you ever seen anyone who can make money off their looks all the time?" Shen Luo scoffed. He probably didn't understand this world.

But that's really how his world is.

If you're an internet celebrity with decent looks and a good figure, you might actually be able to attract some big, goofy fans.

Even if you're not that good-looking, just turn on a beauty filter, turn on your sound card, and shout a few times, "Top fan, I want to buy a bag~ Top fan, I want to eat well."

Maybe I can make some money that way.

But all of this is predicated on maintaining a good relationship with the older brother.

How to maintain it?

It's just conversation in bed.

Then the older brother gets tired of it, he finds someone else, and you find another older brother... This is how the foot massage culture has been brought to the internet.

We've gone off-topic. This is about internet celebrities, but while the entertainment industry and the online literature industry seem similar, they are actually very different. First of all, the appearance that internet celebrities value most is just an entry-level requirement for the entertainment industry.

Looking at the entire entertainment industry.

Good looks are always a bonus, albeit an added bonus.

To date, no one has been able to stay popular for more than a decade based solely on their looks.

Acting or singing, on the other hand, are different; they are a livelihood you can earn for a lifetime.

Wu Qian was clearly taken aback, and she was speechless.

"Fine, I don't care how you train Yan Qingning's acting skills, but I hope you don't have any ulterior motives towards her!" Wu Qian threatened with a snort.

"Do you think I'm that kind of person?!" Shen Luo said coldly, throwing her foot onto the sofa and walking straight into the bathroom. "You go and supervise Yan Qingning as she copies the script. I'm going to take a shower; it's so hot!"

Seeing this, Wu Qian smiled gently and asked, "Aren't you going to let me in to wash?"

This sounds familiar.

It was usually Shen Luo who said this to Wu Qian.

Then Wu Qian would smile and blush, politely welcoming them, "Come in, it's not like they won't let you in."

pity.

Shen Luo is not Wu Qian.

He's petty and narrow-minded.

"Nono, you should stay with your best friend."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qian stood up from the sofa and snorted softly, "I know my sister well enough. If I tell her to copy, she'll obediently copy. But Director Shen, is it not allowed for me, an actress, to go to the bathroom to discuss the script with you?"

Shen Luo pouted, "It's not convenient tonight."

Wu Qian snorted, "What's inconvenient about it? A few days ago you were nagging me to shower together to save water, what's wrong now? Are you on your period?"

"It's just inconvenient, let's talk about it another day."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qian was not angry at all. Instead, she bit her lip lightly and said, "That's exactly the day I want!"

After saying that, she rushed forward and pushed Shen Luo into the bathroom. Once inside, she started to take off his clothes, causing Shen Luo to hurriedly grab her hand. "Don't touch me! Remember, men and women shouldn't touch each other!"

Wu Qian looked annoyed. "Again, it's about men and women not touching each other? When you told me to get out of bed if I wore clothes to bed, you wouldn't let me wear anything to bed at night, so why didn't you say that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"

Shen Luo pouted, "That's different!"

"Why is it different?!"

"Keep your voice down, or Yan Qingning will hear you!"

"Why not just turn on the shower?"
