Chapter 132 The old lady also takes care of the little boy(1/2)
Chapter 132 I also keep a pretty boy
Having been running theater schools for so many years, it has indeed produced many famous female stars.
For example, in the early years, Arthur, Bingbing, Yili, Xue, etc. were all female stars who came out of the theater.
However, after 2004, there were not many popular people in the theater.
The only one who is considered popular is Fatty at level 10. Before that, there were several girls at level 04 who later became popular.
Like Zuo You, who was in the 2005 class, Ma Liang had never heard of her in her previous life, even though she had excellent conditions in all aspects.
The theater school is already one of the top colleges in this field, and there are so few people who can make it, which shows how difficult it is to become a star in the entertainment industry.
Meng Fei heard that the two girls in front of him were Zuo You's seniors, and Ma Liang recognized them at first glance.
One of them is Jiang Shuying, who has been popular for a long time, and the other is Wang Xiaochen, who has been a little popular for a while.
Needless to say, Jiang Shuying will certainly not lose money by signing the contract.
But Wang Xiaochen is far behind. He has been filming many dramas, but it has always been tepid. It was not until he cooperated with Huang Sanshi and Zhang Jiayi that he became popular for a while.
Ma Liang thought about it and realized that the two of them were probably the few girls who became popular after appearing on the show.
After them, there are even fewer people left.
He directly asked Meng Fei: "How do you plan to sign?"
"I just asked them, acting students, to sign the contract, and then took more photos of them trying on our products. It wouldn't cost much anyway.
Whoever becomes famous later, I will use that person to hype them up." Meng Fei said with a proud look on his face.
Ma Liang said jokingly: "You are really a thief! But there is a high probability that your hard work is in vain. It is not so easy to become a star."
"How could I not know this? I will only sign it if it looks decent.
Teacher Ma, look at the one in the middle. It is said that she is the school beauty of Zuo You's previous class. I think she looks like that.
Although he is not a clothes showman, his face is very recognizable, and he might be popular, so it would be worthwhile to sign him. As for the guy next to him, he is almost popular." Meng Fei analyzed seriously.
Ma Liang was shocked when he heard this. He almost thought that Meng Fei was also reborn, because he really got it right.
The one in the middle is Jiang Shuying, and the one on the right is naturally Wang Xiaochen. The subsequent development of the two is indeed as Meng Fei said.
But no matter if you guessed it right, the value of these two people in terms of brand promotion is very average.
This is not Ma Liang's nonsense, but the result of research conducted by the marketing departments of those brand companies in his previous life.
To see the brand promotion value of a female celebrity, just check whether they often receive endorsements from big brands.
Whether it is clothing, watches, jewelry, glasses, beauty, skin care, health products, or other fashion products. The more advertising endorsements you receive, the greater the value of your brand promotion.
This data can also be used to judge from the side whether the actress is popular enough.
The performance of the two quasi-stars in front of me was very mediocre in this aspect, that is, Jiang Shuying was slightly better when he was at his peak.
Although actresses cannot accept endorsements without the support of the company behind them, the higher the celebrity status, the less help this support can bring.
In the end, it is up to the artist to strive for success, otherwise there is no point in pursuing him.
After all, when big-name fashion companies hire advertising endorsements, they also need to do market research. It’s impossible to give your boss face all day long, and the market has the final say for the most part.
Seeing Meng Fei eager to give it a try, with a posture of "casting the net wide and catching more fish", Ma Liang shook his head.
He lectured angrily: "It's enough for you to play Zuoyou's card well, don't take the rest for granted.
Without a lot of money for marketing and hype, you can’t get everyone so much advantage.”
"Yes, yes, Teacher Ma is right." Meng Fei didn't dare to refute, but he was still proud of his own idea in his heart.
If you pick one up, it counts, and if you can’t pick it up, you won’t lose money, so why not do it.
Just as Ma Liang was about to say goodbye and leave, he heard a voice coming from beside him.
"Teacher Meng, do you think we still have a chance?" The speaker was none other than Huajiang Shuying from the drama school, and beside him stood Wang Xiaochen who looked expectant.
Although the person they were talking to was Meng Fei, their eyes glanced at Ma Liang from time to time.
Especially Jiang Shuying, who showed her charming eyes without any concealment.
Xu Shi learned something from Zuo You, and it was obvious that he could see the strong ambition in the eyes of these two people.
However, their enthusiasm was directed at the wrong target, and Ma Liang did not accept this trick.
He doesn't have any plot about female stars, not to mention that not everyone in his eyes is so pretty.
As the saying goes, flowers come to each eye, but the two people in front of him just don't have the kind of looks he likes.
However, their positive looks made Ma Liang smile slightly, thinking that this is the attitude they should have when preparing to join the entertainment industry, not at all like Zuo You.
“Although the innate conditions are a bit poor, it’s not impossible to give it a try.
I'll make an appointment at a studio in a while and you guys can come over for a audition. Then we'll see if our latest spring and summer styles are suitable for you to wear.
But let me say it first, even if you sign a contract, you will not be treated like Zuo You.
She is a special model recognized by our Mr. Yan, and she even did not hesitate to directly arrange to walk in the East China Sea Fashion Week.
Unless you become famous in the film and television industry one day, it will be difficult for you to gain success in the fashion industry." Meng Fei had to say that he was a very thief and gave them both a vaccination in advance.
The words were spoken so bluntly that Jiang Shuying and Wang Xiaochen felt very uncomfortable.
They felt that they were no worse than Zuo You, but they unexpectedly received such evaluation after coming here, which is really frustrating.
The two of them ran back to Zuo You and started talking to each other, which made the girl look embarrassed.
After a while, she walked up to Ma Liang and cautiously said to Meng Fei: "Mr. Meng, the two seniors are actually the same tutor as me.
Just go ahead and recommend it to Mr. Yan."
"I recommend? As President Yan, do you want anyone?
Don't ruin my job, I won't do such unprofessional things." Meng Fei flatly refused.
Zuo You was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say. She turned to look at Ma Liang again, obviously wanting him to help talk.
But the way he hesitated to speak clearly made it clear that he didn't want to ask for anything from him.
"It's not unfair at all to say you're stupid." Ma Liang wanted to laugh when he saw it, "When people get a good opportunity, they want to hide it.
It's nice of you to introduce it to others, but you don't know that your colleagues are enemies!
Looking back, those two seniors are famous. If one day they steal your role or endorsement, you will cry."
This kind of thing is too common in the entertainment industry. Competition among actresses is huge.
Not to mention classmates, even best friends may fall out at each other for a certain opportunity and never interact with each other again.
The most famous ones are Da Mi Mi and his best friend Tang Niuer, but later on they became strangers to each other.
Zuo You didn't listen at all: "Don't talk nonsense, the senior sisters are very kind to me, and they taught me a lot in the acting class."
"Am I talking nonsense? You will still be counting the money after being sold.
Come on, do whatever you like!" Ma Liang was too lazy to care about her anymore. He was not tired enough, so he turned around and left Jinshi Company.
He may not know about others, but those two so-called seniors are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Ma Liang was angry and left. Zuo You could only continue to pester Meng Fei for a while to plead for mercy, but still in vain.
Director Meng Da is not stupid. He has made it clear that he is willing to do things that will cause trouble.
Let alone two people whose conditions are not very suitable, even if they are professional models, he would not easily recommend them to his boss.
If Zuo You hadn't been guaranteed by Ma Liang, she wouldn't have even considered it.
Seeing that his pleas were fruitless, Zuo You had no choice but to give up.
"Senior, I'm sorry, I can't be of much help." She said apologetically when she went downstairs and took the elevator.
Wang Xiaochen hurriedly comforted him: "In other words, Yuzi, you can recommend us to audition. Thank you very much."
"That's right, Yuzu! No matter what, thank you!
Besides, didn't Director Meng agree that there will be an opportunity for an audition in a while?" Jiang Shuying also comforted him.
Wang Xiaochen asked curiously: "Hey, Yuzi, didn't you say that boy is good at talking, but why is he so arrogant? He can't be gay, right?"
"It looks like I've winked at him several times, but he didn't react at all." Jiang Shuying also echoed.
Zuo You thought so too earlier, but now she doesn't think so anymore.
After all, Ma Liang's bad demeanor was still lingering in her mind. Coupled with the real situation she had learned these days, how could she possibly think that Ma Liang was gay?
She replied blankly: "Probably not!"
"Not to mention that boy is quite handsome, his somewhat ruffian look is exactly the type I like." Wang Xiaochen declared boldly.
Jiang Shuying immediately started joking: "Then you go after him, maybe you will get close to the boss.
I’ll give you a better chance than Yuzi later. I’ll directly arrange to go to the international fashion week to show, and you’ll become famous in minutes.”
"I do, but people look down on me. The way they look at Yuzi is very different." Wang Xiaochen responded sourly.
Zuo You quickly denied: "What nonsense are you talking about? He and I are not compatible by nature, and we don't deal with him every time we meet.
