Chapter 86: What I took was what I was entitled to.
250 million (Mi Xue's soft advertisement) + 160 million (comedian's appearance fee) - 50 million (not included as the company did not receive any) = 360 million (artist's profit)
"Shen Jian, we're only 740 million away from getting an A-level visa. Let's keep it up!"
Liangmu held the A4 paper in his hand.
I made a detailed table for Shen Jian.
It may be due to some advanced mathematical problems.
So I even did a quick check on the side, doing addition and subtraction.
"Why doesn't this 500,000 count?"
"Because the company didn't take it."
"Does not taking it mean it doesn't count?"
"certainly."
"I can't believe it. A friend of mine went to a hotel for fun and didn't pay anything. Why is that considered illegal?"
Yoshiki: "Uh..."
Lin Youyou: "!!!"
Shen Jian: "The widow next door in my village gave me eggs, and my third uncle didn't take a single one. Why is my second aunt still accusing them of having something going on?"
Ryogi: "..."
Lin Youyou: "..."
Shen Jian: "When you married your sister-in-law, I heard you didn't receive a bride price, right? But does not receiving a bride price mean it's not love?"
Your forbearance, your compromises, your dependence on others—aren't these all forms of love?
If this isn't love...
"What's there to be sad about? Thank you for your generosity, you only have yourself to blame, oh no."
[Drama Queen +1]
Ryoki:-_-||"
Lin Youyou: "-.-||"
Shen Jian: "Say something! Answer me! Look in my eyes!!"
[Drama Queen +1]
Ryogi: "..."
Lin Youyou: "!!"
The two of them were speechless.
Liangmu's mouth twitched; he looked completely distraught.
It was clearly a math problem, so how did it end up being changed into a social marriage law?
"A Liang."
Shen Jian suddenly patted his shoulder: "So, just because he didn't take it doesn't mean he didn't have it. I took it, so it's my right to take it."
You should have a good talk with Sister Yang and tell her to be sensible and add the 500,000 yuan to the bill. Otherwise... I'll definitely just let it go.
Ryogi: "???"
Lin Youyou: "???"
The two of them laughed in exasperation.
Goodness, he's been holding his tongue for a while.
So you're going to end it with the softest thing you can think of?
As expected of you.
Liangmu rubbed his temples: "Alright, it's only 500,000, is it really that big of a deal?"
Once your career is on track, you can easily make it back with just one gig. Let me tell you, don't go looking for trouble. Sister Yang has finally started to change her opinion of you a little.
Get ready this afternoon, I'm going to introduce you to someone.
"Who?"
"Let me introduce you to a comedy teacher; he's a very famous comedian."
"Sister Yang's connections?"
"Yes, I'll treat him to dinner this afternoon so we can get to know each other. He knows a lot of the artists from the same label who are participating in 'Comedians' this year, which might help you integrate into the group faster."
Listen to what Ryoki said.
Shen Jian felt a sense of anticipation rising within him.
In fact, these days, I've been making great use of my two talents.
He truly discovered that there is a significant barrier to entry in acting.
Even if the "drama queen" persona is well-crafted.
But those are just imitations, and they don't represent true acting skills.
In stand-up comedy, he can use jokes to understand the audience's psychology and perform with ease.
But comedic performance is not only two-dimensional, but also three-dimensional.
If language is a point, and performance is a line, then the story scenarios filled with emotional expression are a plane, and together they form a complete comedic space.
Indispensable.
Shen Jian knew how nonsensical this was.
But mere absurdity is not the source of joy.
Just like how he can now imitate all kinds of laughter and crying, but that's just a technique.
Therefore, he felt that he really needed someone knowledgeable to give him some guidance.
Tell him how to use these techniques.
...
in the afternoon.
The group assembled at the company gate.
Yang Tianzhen's network of connections is something she naturally wants, and Liang Mu and Lin Youyou, as key members of Shen Jian's team, must also attend these kinds of social events.
"Sister Yang, I'm troubling you again."
Yang Tianzhen looked both surprised and relieved.
I never thought this kid would be so sensible and talkative one day.
Perhaps this is growth.
Sometimes it really is just a matter of a moment.
It wasn't in vain that she used her company connections to find a teacher.
"Huh? What are you doing?"
Yang Tianzhen looked at the half-cup of milk tea that Shen Jian handed over with a puzzled expression.
Shen Jian: "Thank you for your help."
Yang Tianzhen: "Huh?"
Shen Jian: "Hold this for me, I'm going to the restroom, I'll be right back."
"...Huh?"
Yang Tianzhen was so angry at herself that she laughed.
Damn it, I almost wavered!
Yeah, what kind of growth can someone like that achieve?
If he had emotional intelligence, the Chinese national football team would have qualified for the World Cup!
Yang Tianzhen was speechless: "Can't you even manage? We're leaving soon, why are you only telling me now?"
Shen Jian: "Yes, it didn't even say anything before it was going to come down."
Yang Tianzhen: "..."
Ryogi: "..."
Lin Youyou: "Ugh~ Disgusting."
Shen Jian: "What? Fairies can refine themselves, right?"
Lin Youyou: "Hey, you...you shut up!"
Shen Jian snorted coldly and turned to go to the bathroom.
Five minutes later.
Everyone got into Master Zhu's van.
They were originally supposed to come to the company.
However, Yang Tianzhen ultimately decided to treat them to a meal.
After all, this time it's not like Wang Jianguo and Xu Zhisheng. Yang Tianzhen and Xu Zhisheng are very familiar with each other and have a good relationship, so there's no need for such trouble.
Furthermore, I later spent money to buy two articles from them, which can be considered as indirectly providing business opportunities.
But the actors we found this time were hired without paying any money.
Therefore, having a meal together is not unreasonable.
Along the way, Yang Tianzhen repeatedly gave him instructions out of concern:
"Don't talk nonsense while eating, be polite and humble, okay?"
"We met today, and I'll make time to give you some guidance in a couple of days. Remember to study hard then. If you can become popular on this comedy show, then you'll really break out of your niche, and you'll have plenty of business opportunities afterward."
Shen Jian said confidently, "Sister Yang, don't you know me? Nobody knows humility better than me, so don't worry!"
Yang Tianzhen: "..."
Ryogi: "..."
Lin Youyou: "!!!"
Master Zhu: "Okay."
...
We arrived at the restaurant we had booked.
The group entered the private room.
I just went in.
They saw that some people had arrived before them.
He wasn't tall, had a chubby, fair face, slightly tilted ramen-noodle-shaped hair, and eyes about the size of bean sprouts.
"Qiaoshan, you've arrived."
"Oh, Mr. Yang, it's been a long time! Hello everyone!"
Qiaoshan stood up and greeted him politely.
Yang Tianzhen: "I really have to trouble you this time."
Qiaoshan: "Hey, Mr. Yang, what are you talking about? You even introduced me to the film crew before."
Yang Tianzhen: "Let me introduce you. This is the new actor I signed, Shen Jian. Shen Jian, this is Teacher Qiao Shan. You should have seen his dramas."
For the bridge shirt.
Shen Jian was no stranger to him.
From "Happy Meeting Room" to "Loser", as well as "Sewing Machine Band" (a collaboration with director Dapeng) and "Pegasus", among other works.
While it cannot be said that comedy holds a very high status.
But he is definitely a comedian who puts his skills to real-life experience.
"Hello, Ms. Qiaoshan, I'm Shen Jian, and I'd like to see you."
Qiaoshan blinked and said, "Oh, that's a nice name."
Shen Jian: "Teacher, you've spoken too much."
Qiaoshan: "Alright, bro, let's chat while we drink."
Shen Jian: "No problem."
They're all from the same community, so they're naturally friendly.
And she's not pretentious at all.
So Shen Jian and Qiao Shan quickly started chatting.
We called the waiter to order.
The waiter rubbed his backside while holding the menu.
It seems like I tripped and fell in the chaos outside just now.
"Do you have hemorrhoids?" Yang Tianzhen asked with concern, unaware of the truth.
"Sister Yang!" Shen Jian suddenly turned around: "Since we're treating you to dinner, let's not order anything that's too personal to our tastes. Neither Brother Shan nor I like it."
waiter:"!!!"
Yang Tianzhen: "..."
Ryogi: "..."
Lin Youyou: "..."
Qiaoshan: "Hey! Haha, that's good, bro, this part has substance, really substance!"
