Volume 1 Chapter 2: Showcasing Talents

  "What a wonderful performance, Xiao Tong really lives up to expectations." Smiling like a cunning fox, Mu Fang walked in with an air of confidence, as if born to be a king.

  A silk shirt, a double-breasted silver-gray windbreaker swaying slightly with his pace, on a face of exotic beauty, his eyes were fixed on Ji Xiaotang standing in the middle, his gaze was focused and enchanting, making people almost think he wasn't looking at an artist trying to enter the entertainment industry, but rather his deeply loved lover.

  "Thank you." Still the same two words, Tong Ying originally came over thinking that if her soul were to suddenly fly out of this body at any time, she would at least not disrupt other people's normal lives and work. So Tong Ying exceptionally diligently and responsibly participated in this interview with Blue Dolphin, absolutely refusing to admit that she was actually bored to the extreme, unclear about the current situation, and only came to participate in the interview to pass the time.

  He can enter the interview room at will, and even not greet the three interviewers. As long as he is a personal person, he knows that the person in front of him is absolutely not an ordinary staff member. Of course, looking at this beautiful face like a demon, you will also understand that he is not a ordinary person. People who slightly understand how to observe and speak will immediately try to please and fawn on him. After all, this is the living rule for newcomers in the entertainment industry. Only when you become a first-line artist, a famous star, can you show off your temper.

  However, what left the three interviewers stunned was that after a simple "thank you", Tong Jiao politely nodded at the three of them and directly walked past Mu Fang, who had an overwhelming aura, and left the interview room. It seemed that the blushing and shy expression she showed when she saw Mu Fang earlier was just a disguise.

  He's a good seed, but he doesn't understand human feelings at all! A silent sigh from the interviewer, Mu Fang is not just a top agent, it's said that Blue Dolphin also has shares in him. Mu Fang is charming, but often wild and arrogant, offending him means you can't mix in the entertainment circle anymore, even if you go to another company, you'll still be frozen out and hidden away in the future.

  "It's interesting." With a thoughtful expression, he hooked his thin lips into a smile. Compared to his usual signature sly and charming smile, Mu Fang's eyes at this moment had a few hints of appreciation. The first time she saw herself, her shocked and embarrassed expression was very realistic, but her eyes were still bright and clear, so Mu Fang knew that she wasn't enchanted by his appearance.

  Just now when performing, even without brewing emotions, immediately entered the play, this is what those old-brand actors with deep performance foundation can do. Mu Fang walked to the long table and picked up his resume and looked at it.

  Tong Ying: Female, 22 years old, born in an orphanage, from Shanghai, English major at Anhui University, with a junior college diploma. Not being from a professional acting background, she surprisingly has such great acting skills. It seems that the entertainment industry is quite interesting too.

  Just out of the Blue Whale's hall, a luxury Volvo suddenly screeched to a halt beside me and stopped at a parking lot not far away that was already packed with many luxury cars. It's no wonder that Blue Whale dominates the Asian entertainment market, with many top artists signed under it, including popular movie emperors and queens, which is why there are so many luxury cars picking them up and dropping them off.

  "Sister Na, are you hungry? I've already asked Xiao Ya to buy your favorite Black Forest cake." As the car door opened, today's most popular queen in the entertainment industry, Yu Na, stepped out of the car. Her black sunglasses covered most of her face, and behind her followed her agent who was speaking, with two assistants carrying bags behind them, a grand entourage fitting for a queen.

  Yuna not only has a stunningly beautiful face, but also an elegant and refined gait, as if strolling on clouds, looking down at the world with an air of majesty, exuding the aura of a queen-like superstar. Yet, that faint smile at the corner of her lips makes her look not only noble, but also approachable.

  It seems that Yu Na noticed Tong's gaze, and as she passed by, she gave a faint glance at the unrecognized person. It appears that this person is not one of Blue Dolphin's contracted artists. In such a chaotic place where dragons and snakes are mixed together, no one knows who the real superstar is. Fate plays tricks on people; today you're high up, but tomorrow you might fall into the mud pit. The person you look down upon might rise to fame overnight due to some hidden rules. Therefore, even though Yu Na looks down on those third-rate and second-rate artists, she still makes an effort to remember every single one of them, not allowing herself to make any mistakes.

  "It's definitely for an interview, this year we need to find twenty new people, train them a bit, and those who can stay will stay." As Yuna's agent, Linlin answered diligently, but the gaze she gave Tongxiang was full of disdain. "Nowadays, artists are all about looks, just vases, not many have Sister Na's acting skills."

  Is it a vase? Tong's eyes followed the departing group, and then shook her head with a smile. It seemed that this circle was indeed a bit complicated. At least she hadn't done or said anything, but just now she had been treated as a mere ornament by that agent.

  She walked a few steps in her high heels, and then suddenly turned around. Although today's filming was already very tiring, she couldn't help but turn around to look at Tong Dang, who had already left. As the popular queen, Yu Na only then realized that something wasn't right. She was used to the adoring gazes of her fans, and the envious and jealous eyes of other celebrities. But Yu Na only then realized that the girl's gaze towards her was so ordinary, as if she were just a passerby. However, this momentary doubt was replaced by fatigue. There are too many people in the entertainment industry; perhaps this girl would never have any intersection with her again.

  Tong Ying's car was just an ordinary Volkswagen Polo, compared to the cars parked outside the Blue Dolphin Gate, which were worth hundreds of thousands or even millions, this ten-odd million Volkswagen Polo almost wanted to find a seam in the ground to bury itself. However, Tong Ying quite liked her own car, German cars are generally good quality and drive smoothly.

  A 30-minute drive took us to Yiran Garden, located on the side of Shichahai. In a place like Beijing where land is gold, house prices outside the Third Ring Road have soared to 20,000-30,000 yuan per square meter. Tongjing's house was indeed in an excellent location, with Shichahai just a 10-minute walk away. The former residences of Prince Gong and Soong Ching-ling are also nearby, making this area one of Beijing's most famous cultural attractions. The old hutongs and siheyuan here are also a major feature.

  The car stopped, and through the windshield, I looked at the apartment building in front of me, which was a bit old-fashioned. Unlike the luxurious commodity houses outside now, this development, which is about 10 years old, is very good. There are many green spaces, the distance between buildings is large, and the orientation is south-facing with plenty of sunlight.
