Chapter 9: No comparison, no harm
Chapter 9: No comparison, no harm
Shen Jian walked into the audience seats.
Looking around at the camera positions and lights from different angles in all directions.
It was as if the air itself was filled with the atmosphere of a variety show.
of course,
There were also some scrutinizing, strange looks among them.
But he didn't care.
As an illiterate livestreamer who became famous by feigning madness and stupidity.
The first thing to do is to cut off your pride and self-esteem.
He understood this principle very quickly.
If you're too concerned about saving face, you'll have a hard time making a living in this industry.
I found the seat with my name on it in the first row of the audience and sat down.
The guest seats below belong to Xue Zhiqian.
However, none of these big-name guests have arrived yet.
They usually only enter the venue during the official recording.
"Shen Jian, it really is you."
Upon hearing the sound, Shen Jian looked to the side.
The man speaking was a trendy guy with a Japanese-style middle-part hairstyle; if I had to give an evaluation, he was quite handsome.
This person is Zhao Duoyang, the newcomer that Lin Youyou mentioned before, whom Yinhe Kuyu is preparing to promote.
"Last time we PK'd, my older sister wiped out your health bar, and we haven't had a random combo since."
I never expected to run into you offline.
Long time no see!
Zhao Duoyang spoke with barely concealed pride, raising his voice slightly so that everyone around him could hear him clearly.
Shen Jian: "Oh, so you're still coming."
[Illiterate +1]
[One more hilarious joke]
Zhao Duoyang: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Dude, have you even gone to school?
Does "Hope you're well?" mean "Are you coming or not?"
Zhao Duoyang remained silent.
The topic that was about to be brought up was abruptly and casually cut off.
He originally wanted to take the opportunity to show off. Although it's not very honorable to rely on the top female fan to send him gifts, those who know about live streaming know that his income is not low.
Zhao Duoyang was not entirely reconciled.
Moreover, while both are internet celebrities signed with agencies, the other party was able to bring three assistants and a stylist.
How could someone who is illiterate receive such good treatment?
If it's not that someone obsessed with entertainment is blind, then Shen Jian must have brought it upon himself to save face.
"I heard you signed with Yixin Entertainment? I just signed with Yinhe Kuyu too. Isn't that a coincidence? We'll be colleagues again from now on."
But companies usually don't provide assistants for newcomers when they go on gigs, right? Did you pay those guys outside to come with you?
Shen Jian: "It's from the company. They even provided a business car and a stylist, but I don't think it's necessary. After all, I'm not a guest star, and it's just one line and one shot. People might think Yang Tian really values me."
Zhao Duoyang: "..."
Everyone: "..."
After he finished speaking, those around him were speechless again.
No, buddy, we've already given you three assistants and a stylist, how much more do you want us to value you?
That's Yang Tianzhen, a well-known top agent in the industry.
Any newcomer would want to be mentored by her.
Versailles... Absolutely the worst Versailles!
Zhao Duoyang's face twitched; he suddenly didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Although Yinhe Cool Entertainment is well-known in the industry.
However, he has been busy fighting a lawsuit with his predecessor, Zhao Lusi, for the past few months and has had little time to take care of the newly signed artists.
He came to Mercury alone this time, it was so damn lonely.
Let's take another look at Shen Jian.
It's like heaven and earth.
The saying "no comparison, no harm" is true.
Zhao Duoyang took a deep breath.
Negative emotions will be cleared away quickly.
Although there is a slight imbalance.
But being a celebrity isn't just about having the most assistants.
He firmly believed that he could not possibly lose to an illiterate person who was feigning madness.
Whether it's competing in live streams or being a celebrity.
The road ahead is long, let's take it one step at a time!
...
"Newcomer, you must be Shen Jian? Yang Tianzhen mentioned you specifically when we were chatting on WeChat yesterday. Don't be nervous later, I'll call on you whenever I get the chance."
Zhao Duoyang: "???"
Everyone: "!!!"
After the sound faded.
Everyone around them was stunned.
Because the person speaking was Xue Zhiqian!
Although Xue Zhiqian's popularity has declined in recent years, his status and popularity remain undeniable.
Such a big shot, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation as soon as he arrived.
She even said she wanted to "Cue him"!
That has a different meaning.
Anyone who's ever filmed a variety show knows that the majority of the screen time is spent on the important guests.
A large portion of the audience for Mercury Intelligence Agency came to watch Xue Zhiqian.
It is easy to imagine his importance on Mercury.
So if he manages to mention you, you're bound to get more shots from his perspective – that's for sure!
So this is just using connections!
What kind of incredible luck is this?
This is outrageous! It's so unfair!
Many people felt envy, jealousy, and hatred.
But these words could never be spoken.
Who can blame them when their agent is Yang Tianzhen?
This is the network of a top broker!
You can easily help a newcomer by simply chatting with a WeChat friend.
Moreover, this is not enough to be called a "resource"; it is probably just something mentioned casually.
"I'm Shen Jian, thank you, Teacher Xue!"
Shen Jian quickly responded.
He was actually quite surprised, but also a little touched.
I never expected Yang Tianzhen to have done these things in private.
She may seem to have left herself to Lin Youyou and the others, but she also subtly uses her connections to build relationships in private.
Of course, he didn't know that the actual situation was just something he mentioned casually.
Because I was going to have dinner with Teacher He, and we were going to get together with a few more friends, Xue Zhiqian happened to be invited, and then I casually mentioned it.
But no matter what.
For Shen Jian, this was all very helpful.
"Okay, sure."
Xue Zhiqian wears black-rimmed glasses; he looks better in person than on camera.
He nodded to Shen Jian, said nothing more, and sat down in the guest seats.
Subsequently,
Host Wang Han, guests Yang Di, Da Zhangwei, Liu Wei and others entered the venue.
The surroundings became lively.
The walkie-talkie emitted a sound.
"On your marks! Mercury Intelligence Agency Season 8, Episode 3, get ready to go!"
DJ music started playing.
Recording has officially begun.
Meanwhile,
Zhao Duoyang, however, couldn't get excited at all.
Sometimes, the feeling of frustration comes so unexpectedly.
I was just thinking, "The road ahead is long."
Then someone came and blew up the bridge.
This isn't even a starting line, okay?
Their agents can easily get big names like Xue Zhiqian to help them with just a casual chat on WeChat.
What about yourself?
Zhao Duoyang suddenly felt a little regretful.
If I had known it would be this difficult, I would have gone back to the top-ranked lady and asked her to pay for my entry into the production.
Recording begins!
At this moment, host Wang Han faced the camera and gave his opening remarks:
"Welcome home, agents! This is Mercury Intelligence Agency! I'm your host, Wang Han!"
"I'm Agent Number One, Big, Big Big... Big Zhang Wei!"
"I'm Agent Number Two, Lao Xue!"
"I'm number three, Yang Di!"
"Agent Number Four, Shen Mengchen!"
"I'm number five, the singing and dancing prince, Liu Wei!"
The atmosphere quickly reached a fever pitch.
Then the program's flow began.
Each guest shared their findings.
Da Zhangwei was the first to step forward.
"Agent One reports! I've discovered something!"
Humans on Earth seem to have some characters that sound similar but have different meanings!
For example, "that one!"
