Chapter 176 Meng ZiyiMeng Ziyi is a student of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, class of 2013. She has already finished her freshman year. It is summer vacation now, so Meng Ziyi plans to visit other crews to see if there is any opportunity to audition for a role and experience the life on the crew. "I'm so tired!" Today, Meng Ziyi went to three film crews' hotels for pre-production and submitted resumes to more than 7 film crews. It was not until o'clock in the evening that he dragged his tired body back to the Beijing Film Academy campus. "I don't know if this resume will have any effect," Meng Ziyi is just a freshman at the Beijing Film Academy. He doesn't have any connections in the circle, so he can only cast a wide net in the most primitive way, submitting his resume to each crew one by one, hoping that he will be lucky enough to be noticed by a crew and given a small role. Just as Meng Ziyi was walking back to the dormitory, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a man wearing a mask on the side of the road. She felt that he looked very familiar. Staring at the man's figure, Meng Ziyi frowned in deep thought. Suddenly, an idea flashed in Meng Ziyi's mind, and a strange color appeared in his beautiful eyes. "This seems to be Senior Brother Yang Hao," this thought flashed through Meng Ziyi's mind. Yang Hao is considered a legend at Beijing Film Academy. Even the teachers at Beijing Film Academy often use Yang Hao as an example to motivate the freshmen. Meng Ziyi has watched "Legend of Lu Zhen", "Charlotte's Troubles", "Knife of the Assassin 1" starring Yang Hao, as well as "BJ Meets Seattle" and "The Richest Tomato" produced by Yang Hao many times. Maybe it was because of her admiration for the strong, Meng Ziyi really admired her senior brother Yang Hao.
She felt that there was no one more powerful than Senior Brother Yang Hao in the entertainment industry. Senior Brother Yang Hao's handsome appearance was also deeply imprinted in Meng Ziyi's mind. Although the man in front of him was wearing a mask, Meng Ziyi still felt that he was Senior Brother Yang Hao. "Senior Brother Yang Hao," Meng Ziyi took two steps forward and called tentatively behind Yang Hao. At this time, Yang Hao was standing at the door of the KTV, feeling sad about the separation from his classmates, and was slightly dazed. Suddenly, I heard a clear and pleasant voice behind me, as if someone was calling my name. Yang Hao turned back subconsciously. "Meng Ziyi", Yang Hao recognized the other person at the first sight. When Meng Ziyi saw the man in front of him turn around, he was 100% sure that the man in front of him was his idolized senior brother Yang Hao. But what made Meng Ziyi even happier was that Senior Brother Yang Hao actually knew him and could call out his name. "Senior Brother Yang Hao, do you know me?" Meng Ziyi walked up to Yang Hao and asked with both surprise and astonishment. "The most beautiful campus beauty of the class of 2013, who wouldn't know you!" Art schools like Beijing Film Academy, especially freshmen in the acting department, are the most popular with media reporters. Every year, Weibo holds a voting event for "Who is the campus belle of Beijing Film Academy?". In 2013, Meng Ziyi was elected campus belle of Beijing Film Academy with her outstanding image, which made her famous in a small circle. Thanks to this popularity, Meng Ziyi now has to fans on Weibo. "Senior brother, do you think I'm beautiful too?" Hearing Yang Hao praising her beauty, Meng Ziyi felt very happy. Her smile became even brighter and her eyes sparkled with light. "Of course she's beautiful!" While praising Meng Ziyi, Yang Hao also looked her up and down. Meng Ziyi is estimated to be about 170cm tall, with a tall and well-proportioned figure, a typical queen with long legs. But if you look closely at her facial features, you can see that she has a sweet girl temperament, which makes her look both sweet and domineering. Meng Ziyi wore a white camisole, pearl earrings, and a few bangs on her forehead, which made her look pure and charming. She was really beautiful. It can be seen that Meng Ziyi's makeup was carefully done.
"Junior, why are you dressed so beautifully so late at night? Are you planning to go on a date with your boyfriend?" Yang Hao teased with a smile. "How could I be going on a date? I don't even have a boyfriend. I just finished running around with my group today and just returned to school." For some reason, when Meng Ziyi heard Yang Hao say that she was going on a date with her boyfriend, she panicked and hurriedly explained, fearing that the other party would misunderstand her. "Running group?" When Yang Hao heard Meng Ziyi mention the running group, his thoughts suddenly drifted back to more than two years ago, when Huang Mengying also dragged him to the running group. "It must be tiring to run the group!" Yang Hao asked with concern. "Yes, brother, running around is really exhausting," Meng Ziyi felt a little happy when he heard Yang Hao's concern. "Did you successfully interview and get the role?" Yang Hao continued to ask. "Oh! I have submitted at least a hundred resumes in the past few weeks, but no crew has not notified me to audition yet." Speaking of this, Meng Ziyi's mood instantly dropped and his face fell. According to the trajectory of her previous life, Meng Ziyi made her debut by playing the role of a maid in "The Legend of Zhao Zilong", which should have been this summer vacation. It seems that among the hundreds of resumes Meng Ziyi sent out, the crew he finally successfully interviewed was "The Legend of Zhao Zilong". Yang Hao has some impression of "The Legend of Zhao Zilong". Some time ago, his good friend Nazha boasted to him that she would play the most beautiful woman in the Three Kingdoms, Diao Chan, in "The Legend of Zhao Zilong". Suddenly, Yang Hao had an idea. His company had accumulated countless copyrights. We are about to launch the two projects "Love O2O" and "Diamond Lover" at the same time. After these two projects are successful, more TV drama projects will be developed later. At present, there are only two actresses in his own company, Zhao Liying and Yang Zi (Yang Chaoyue is not counted as she has not made her debut yet), and the number of actresses is far from enough. Zhao Liying is a 85 flower, Yang Zi is a 90 flower. Perhaps we should also sign some 95 flowers, which can be regarded as a gradient training based on age. Yang Hao thought for about ten seconds and asked tentatively: "Junior sister, have you signed a contract with an agency now?" My senior asked me if I had signed a contract with an agency? Hearing this, Meng Ziyi's heart started pounding and he thought of a possibility, "Could it be that my senior brother wants to sign me?" If we talk about the most popular film and television company in recent years, it must be Haori Film and Television Culture Media Co., Ltd., which was founded by my senior brother. As far as film and television production is concerned, even those old companies are not as good as my seniors in recent years. Moreover, my senior brother’s company currently has only two female artists signed, Zhao Liying and Yang Zi. There are so many resources. Even if I can't compete for the leading female role, I can still easily get the second or third female role. The most important thing is that this is the senior brother whom I admire the most. Thinking about being able to join his senior's company, maybe he'll have the chance to act opposite him in the future, or even... When thinking of certain things, Meng Ziyi's face turned slightly red, and she became shy and embarrassed. "Meng Ziyi? Meng Ziyi?" Seeing that Meng Ziyi didn't answer him for a long time, he was stunned and didn't know what he was thinking. Yang Hao shook him and called his name softly. "Ah! Senior Brother", Meng Ziyi finally came back to his senses after feeling his body shaken. "Junior, what were you thinking about just now?" Yang Hao asked casually. "Nothing, nothing." When she heard her senior brother asking this, the shyness that was about to fade away instantly filled her heart again, and her face became even redder. "Senior brother, didn't you just ask me if I had an agency? My answer is that I haven't signed with an agency yet," Meng Ziyi quickly changed the subject.
"Oh? The most beautiful campus beauty doesn't even have an agency?" My good friend Nazha was also voted as the most beautiful campus beauty. She was spotted by Tangren Company in her freshman year and signed a contract. It's only been a few years, has the value of Beijing Film Academy's campus beauties declined? No one has signed a contract? "Brother, it's not that there are no agencies that want to sign you, but they are all small, unknown companies that can't provide any resources. Instead of signing with such a company, it's better to wait and see for another two years," Meng Ziyi explained. Yang Hao nodded to show that he understood. "Junior sister, let's not stand here anymore. I'll treat you to a midnight snack." After chatting with Meng Ziyi for five or six minutes at the entrance of the KTV, Yang Hao felt it was not a good idea to just stand here, so he simply suggested going out for a midnight snack. "Okay, senior brother," Meng Ziyi agreed with a sweet smile. The two of them walked side by side into a self-service barbecue restaurant, talking and laughing. When he was studying at the Beijing Film Academy, Yang Hao preferred to go for open-air barbecues with Li Xian and Zhang Yishan. The reason for choosing the barbecue restaurant this time was simply because it had private rooms. Yang Hao is now considered a first-tier celebrity, with more than 20 million fans on Weibo. It would be very troublesome if he was recognized by fans. In the box, Yang Hao took the initiative to put the roasted beef on Meng Ziyi's plate. Meng Ziyi had eaten dinner, so he wasn't actually hungry now. But the beef in front of him was fried and grilled by Senior Brother Yang Hao himself, and was also picked up and put on his plate by Senior Brother Yang Hao himself. Meng Ziyi instantly felt that the beef smelled delicious, and even though his stomach was full, he felt hungry. "Junior, have you ever thought about signing with my senior's company?" "Yes, of course I do," Meng Ziyi, who was eating beef with relish, suddenly heard his senior brother's words and quickly swallowed the beef in his mouth in three or two bites. "Ziyi, let's add each other on WeChat first. I'll send you my agent Yu Li's WeChat later, and you can discuss the contract terms with her in detail then," Yang Hao said as he took out his cell phone, preparing to add Meng Ziyi on WeChat. "Okay, senior brother, from now on you are my boss," Meng Ziyi said with his hand covering his mouth and laughing. "The company is now preparing to launch two projects, Love O2O and Diamond Lover. The first and second female roles have been decided, but you can try the third and fourth female roles," Yang Hao told Meng Ziyi about the two projects that the company was about to launch. "Ziyi, you have just finished your freshman year. The most important thing is to lay a solid foundation. If you join my senior's company, there will definitely be no shortage of roles to play, but the prerequisite is that you must have matching acting skills, understand?" Yang Hao looked very serious when he said this. Yang Hao's company now has many projects, and joining her own company gives her a much higher starting point than in her previous life. In her previous life, Meng Ziyi's acting skills were good, but now that her starting point is higher, Yang Hao is afraid that the other party's mentality will become distracted and she will not be able to concentrate on learning acting skills in school. "I know, senior brother, I will definitely study hard in school," Meng Ziyi said in a firm tone. Seeing Meng Ziyi's attitude, Yang Hao felt a little relieved. "Ziyi, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. After you finish eating, go back to the dormitory by yourself. Remember to contact my agent Yu Li as soon as possible to discuss the contract." As he spoke, Yang Hao stood up from his seat, put on a mask, and went to the front desk to pay the bill. "Okay, brother, I will go to the company to sign the contract in the next few days." She has been running around to different crews and sending out resumes these days, but all of them have fallen on deaf ears and there is no response. Before running around to different crews, she never imagined that the path of an actor would be so difficult. Running around in groups is not only physically and mentally exhausting, but more importantly, it is a huge blow to one's self-confidence. Meng Ziyi began to doubt whether she was suitable for the profession of an actor due to the repeated failures in submitting her resume. Until today, when I met my most admired senior brother Yang Hao.
I never thought that I could sign a contract to join my senior’s company. Until now, Meng Ziyi still feels like she is dreaming. Meng Ziyi felt very happy when she thought that she had just finished her freshman year and could play the third or fourth female role in a TV series. "Please give me a little more time, a little more greetings, don't take everything away, please give me a little more space, a little more tenderness, don't make me so uncomfortable..." Meng Ziyi was really happy today. After eating the barbecue, he hummed the out-of-tune "Make Me Happy, Make Me Sad" all the way and skipped back to the dormitory. "Ziyi, can you please stop singing? Your singing doesn't just make me feel better, it clearly makes me feel very uncomfortable." After returning to the dormitory, Meng Ziyi hummed a few lines from time to time, causing her roommates to start complaining. Her roommate Hua Wen also echoed: "Ziyi, you don't need to worry about copyright fees when you sing other people's songs. Not a single word is in tune." "Ziyi, do you have any good news? You are in such a good mood, we rarely see you singing," Chen Yao, who was lying on the upper bunk to rest, asked puzzledly. "Today I encountered...", the roommate asked. I originally wanted to tell the good news, but then I thought that it was just a verbal contract and it was not valid yet. It would be better to wait a few days until everything is settled, and then it would not be too late to share it with roommates. So Meng Ziyi swallowed the half-sentenced words. "Hehe, I'll tell you in a few days." "Okay, you've kept us in suspense." Suddenly, the girls' dormitory was engulfed in a fight. After playing around for a while, roommate Hua Wen suddenly said, "Ziyi, did the crew of "The Legend of Zhao Zilong" that we went to submit our resumes to a few days ago send you a text message?" As he spoke, Hua Wen took out his cell phone and handed it to Meng Ziyi. It turned out that Hua Wen's resume was accepted by "The Legend of Zhao Zilong", and she was sent a text message asking her to go for an audition three days later. Meng Ziyi quickly took out his cell phone, and sure enough, he had also received a text message from the other party, who would also go for an audition in three days. If Meng Ziyi hadn't met Senior Brother Yang Hao today, this text message would definitely make her happy. But now, Senior Brother Yang Hao has promised that after signing the contract, he can play the third or fourth female role in "Love O2O" or "Diamond Lover". How can he still be interested in the role of a maid in "The Legend of Zhao Zilong". "Wenwen, I won't go to the crew of The Legend of Zhao Zilong." "Ah?" Hua Wen was very surprised when she heard Meng Ziyi's words. I still listen to readers. If readers want to see Meng Ziyi, I will add characters decisively. If you want to see those flowers born after 95, you can leave a message and I will write them as appropriate. But don't be too unique. If I were asked to paint a flower that is too ugly, I would not be able to put myself into it and write it.
