179. Crazy July(1/3)

Cannes ended in mid-May, and it seemed like there was only one voice left in the entire film and television industry.

That is "The Secret That Cannot Be Told", which will be released on July 31st.

The three trailers were also interpreted as three completely different stories, and a group of people speculated on what they were about.

Fortunately, the quality of netizens is still high. The Chinese people who watched this film in Cannes did not spoil it. They just told them that "it was beautifully shot, very watchable, and highly recommended."

Time just slipped away inadvertently. Even the day before, I was anxiously waiting for summer vacation, hoping that "The Secret That Cannot Be Telled" would come soon. But one second later...

Another year of college entrance examination is over, and in a blink of an eye... it's summer vacation.

On the last day of vacation, Yang Mi made a rare trip back to her dormitory.

In recent months, she has been taking classes during the day and making up classes at night. Her boyfriend is no longer around. She has devoted her limited energy to the skills necessary for an actor, practicing diligently, whether it is English or martial arts.

Or dance, and sweat it out in the gym.

But now it's holiday. Although she hasn't lived in the dormitory much this semester, she still has to take the quilt back to wash and dry it.

Sun Ting was not allowed to come in, she did it herself.

After stuffing all the quilts and clothes into the suitcase, the first roommate in the dormitory came back.

"Ah, I was shocked..."

Zhang Xiaofei covered his heart and said speechlessly:

"There is suddenly an extra person on your bed, which scares me to death."

Yang Mi bared her teeth:

"Why don't you welcome me back?"

"No way, it's too late for me to be happy when the big star comes back. Come on, come on, come on, sign your name for me..."

"EMMM, okay, bring me the bra."

"Go to hell!"

Zhang Xiaofei rolled his eyes speechlessly and put all the books and textbooks for this semester on his desk when Yang Mi's phone rang.

Because she was packing her things, she connected the phone and turned on the speakerphone, put it on her bedside table, and then continued to stack things.

"Hey, Tingting, what's wrong?"

"Sister, do you still remember Editor Liu of Lido Magazine?"

Yang Mi was stunned...

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Remember, the one we had dinner with last month, right?"

"Yes, she wants to take a set of photos with you, the one on the cover."

"Well, I remembered... Didn't I ask Sister Zeng to reject her last time? She even asked me to wear a bikini in the middle of winter. I thought it was okay and I photographed her..."

"She refused, but she suddenly called me just now and asked if you were in Yanjing and wanted to ask you out for dinner in the evening."

"Not going."

Yang Mi refused without even thinking:

"Please reply to her and ask her to find Sister Zeng if she needs anything."

"okay."

"Hang up."

Following the girl's words, Sun Ting on the other side of the phone hung up the phone.

Zhang Xiaofei, who had listened to the whole thing there, sighed first... He could even recommend the magazine cover to his roommate...

Although he hasn't graduated yet, he will start working on film crews outside in the next semester. Zhang Xiaofei, who has gained experience, is naturally not a fool.

"Lido", although it is not as good as that big magazine, its audience is not small.

If the cover says push it, push it...

That is the space that many young actors dream of...

Is Mimi so powerful now?

But this was just emotion. She thought about it and asked curiously:

"Mimi, why did you refuse so simply? "Lido" is not a small magazine, right?"

"Well……"

After hearing this, Yang Mi thought for a while and told her in a very sincere tone:

"Because it's against the rules."

"……What's the meaning?"

"After you sign the contract, the company will send you an agent, and your affairs must be connected through the agent."

"Why? Isn't it more convenient for her to find you directly?"

"Because the agent wants a commission."

Yang Mi shook her head. Seeing that she didn't seem to understand, she simply said more:

"Indeed, actors also need connections... Xiaofei, you have to do the same in the future. Even if you sign a contract with a company, your connections cannot completely fall into the hands of your agent. You have to find a way to transform the connections your agent has into your own."

If you don’t have connections that your agent doesn’t have, you have to keep them to yourself and don’t let them go. Because if you don’t do this, you may not be able to carry out your work without an agent, and you will be greatly restricted at that time.

You don’t have the capital to talk to others, do you understand?”

"..."

Looking at Zhang Xiaofei's confused look, Yang Mi continued to explain patiently:

"But at the same time, it doesn't mean that you and your agent should be divorced. You two are working partners, and you will both prosper and suffer. And you can't be stingy with your own people. This editor bypassed the agent to find me, just because he thought I was

The reason why I rejected her before was because the manager’s positioning of me was not so... selling meat, that’s probably what I meant, so I rejected the southern style photo shoot.

Therefore, she only contacted me through Sun Ting this time, probably to communicate with me first, and after I agreed, she was communicating with the agent, communicating with my attitude...or even not communicating at all, I just said

Go...understand? But this is not okay, because it will give your agent some bad ideas, and you are not doing it kindly.

That’s why I told her that she had some business matters and asked her to talk to my agent. If she can talk to me, then she can come and ask me. If she can’t talk, I won’t waste time. And everything has to be done this way,

Because your agent and assistant are the people closest to you, you can treat anyone badly, but you must not treat yourself badly.

The premise is that you have to trust the character of your assistant and agent. As long as you can trust them, you can be nice to them, but you don’t have to trust them 100%. You must have your own opinions and ideas. Do you understand?"

"...Is this...so complicated?"

Does Zhang Xiaofei understand?

Can't explain.

She couldn't even say she understood, but she got the general idea.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is trust, but not full trust.

Hide some, but not all.

Although it sounds like nonsense...and also very complicated, her intuition tells her that what her roommate said...must make sense.

I couldn't help but say another sentence:

"How do you know so much? Is this how you train yourself after leaving school? I feel like you are completely different from us."

"We are all the same, but don't say it like that, as if it's the same thing about me."

The girl slipped down the ladder with a smile, and Zhang Xiaofei also walked over to help her pull the box on the bed.

"An elder taught me this. I didn't really understand it before. But he taught me a lot of things in this area... It's okay. If you encounter something at work or something in the future, if you don't understand, you can come and ask.

I, but I suggest you ask your parents, because the advice you get from them, no matter whether it is right or wrong, must be really good advice for you. Anyway, consider multiple aspects..."

"...Okay, I remember."

Zhang Xiaofei nodded vigorously, keeping in mind the "predecessor experience" from his roommate.

Yang Mi had almost finished cleaning up and asked casually:

"What's the date of the ticket? When will I go back?"

"I won't go back. I want to take advantage of the summer vacation to work for others, run around on the set, and gain some exposure."

"Um...ok."

Yang Mi responded, rolled her eyes, and said:

"Then remember to spare some time on July 30th, and then... rent a beautiful skirt."

"……what?"

"On the evening of the 30th, "The Secret That Cannot Be Tellable" will hold its media premiere in Wanda. Some directors and others will be there. Everyone will be wearing formal attire. It's not a small event. If you go there, I'll make some arrangements for you. Maybe

What opportunities can we get? Remember... I'm leaving first."
