Chapter 010: The New Generation of Stars

The entertainment industry is the most realistic; if you are not popular, you must obediently listen to the big names, unable to retaliate or respond to insults. Once you become popular, you can treat others the same way. Zhao Wei's attitude is actually quite good. Lin Xiao has personally witnessed a big name directly expelling a third-tier artist from the dressing room backstage.

In fact, what he means is Cai Kangyong, the Chen Handian behind Xiao S. However, if Li Hao really goes, his status should be much higher.

In 2001, Zhao Wei starred as the female lead in Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Soccer"

Zhao Wei probably did not expect that this sentence would suddenly come out of her mouth. She was taken aback for a moment before saying: "Zhou Xingchi, Xing Ye"

Like He Jiong, they now appear much younger, and their future mature charm has yet to develop, but the hint of freshness from just graduating is as tender as new green leaves. They are all students from the class of 1996, and at this time, they should have just graduated.

Through some earlier playful probing, Li Xiang naturally understood that the other party was someone who could take a joke. She quickly responded, "What? Is the entertainment industry all about learning to change faces?"

He Jiong said mysteriously: "We only know one of them, but we will tell you when the time comes, and I guarantee you will be greatly surprised"

Identification. He silently uttered a word in his heart, and immediately, a long string of data was presented.

Lin Xiao's earlier sentiments were immediately extinguished.

Cheng Wanning, I do not know who he is. However, Lan Xiaolong and Du Liang are both military personnel. Do you really think the company has extensive connections?

The speaker may be indifferent, but the listener is attentive

I will let it go. Lin Xiao was also affected by the atmosphere: "As for my junior apprentice, I believe he is cut out for this."

Name: Chen Kun, Height: 176 cm, Acting Skills: 390, Singing Skills: 150, B-level Artist

In the past, even going to convenience stores and bookstores required someone to accompany Patrolo. However, as long as one is in this industry, who wouldn't want to experience that bittersweet feeling? CAMI also remarked, "Ordinary people only see those dazzling stars; they have no idea about the countless newcomers who struggle in vain to rise. The sacrifices made by a star are beyond the imagination of those not in this field. Their dedication to their lives and maintaining their physique has almost reached a level of self-torture." The sacrifices made by a star are beyond the imagination of those not in this field. Their dedication to their lives and maintaining their physique has almost reached a level of self-torture.

The entertainment trends of 2013 are certainly not comparable to those of the year 2000 in terms of humor level

What kind of trainees are these! They are clearly future leading film stars, Chen Kun and Zhao Wei

Name: Zhao Wei, Height: 166 cm, Acting Skills: 380, Singing Skills: 200, A-level Artist

After having lunch together, I took a break in the afternoon. In the evening, the lively Li Hao appeared in his room

"I have long heard of your esteemed name." The two greeted each other with dignity. Lin Xiao turned his head and quietly asked, "Does he know you?"

Oh? Who?" Lin Xiao took a sip of his drink and asked, as he absolutely refrained from consuming beer

He tapped the table quietly with his fingers, saying nothing, and instead joined the comedic team of Li Xiang and He Jiong

For a late-night snack, we found a relatively hidden food stall, which was recommended by CAMI. To our surprise, the food was quite good. While we were eating, Lin Xiao shared a few jokes about the future, making everyone laugh so hard that they exclaimed they couldn't take it anymore

A few individuals also felt a sense of fatigue, as delivering lines for such an extended period and adding comedic elements is quite a mentally taxing endeavor

This is He Jiong, the host of Happy Camp

"Xiao Ge." The older child came up and patted He Tushu hard on the shoulder: "Your news is quite impressive, tsk tsk... A newcomer highly praised by Teacher Chen Daoming, quite a big name."

Hesitation is only temporary; under the persuasion of her classmate Chen Kun, Zhao Wei quickly nodded in agreement

"Sister CAMI," a young man greeted enthusiastically

An hour later, everyone left in high spirits. Lin Xiao and his two companions did not plan to take a car, instead choosing to walk through the streets of Changsha.

"Hmm, a comedian is releasing an album. Hehe, why do I want to laugh again?" As soon as Li Xiang sees Li Hao's silly expression, she can't help but burst into laughter

Watching the two of them awkwardly go over their lines, he suddenly found a sense of balance. It turned out that he had unknowingly stood on the same starting line as this new generation of first-line actors.

Li Xiang and He Jiong, not understanding his meaning, quickly began to talk with Chen Kun about school life

He certainly would not inform the other party that the later renowned works such as "Ning Caishen", "Soldier Assault", "My Regiment Leader, My Regiment", and "Bloody Romance" were all created by the aforementioned individuals

"It's late at night, dress warmly, who can see you?" CAMI immediately understood Lin Xiao's meaning. With a Zhao Wei from "My Fair Princess," she secretly praised her own artist for being clever, naturally choosing to follow her artist's lead.

He was initially a bit worried about Li Hao, but he soon realized that his admonitions were in vain. Li Hao's somewhat naive nature made He Jiong and Li Xiang quite fond of him, often leaving him blushing. He could already imagine that Li Hao would receive quite a bit of camera time tomorrow

However, ... I want to release a record," Li Haobai said foolishly

"Xiao Ge, is that look in your eyes trying to lure me in? Come on, I've been waiting for a long time." Li Hao then lay back on the bed, striking a pose of heroic sacrifice.

The script has reached its conclusion, where He Jiong and Li Xiang delivered several punchlines, all of which Lin Xiao successfully picked up. He also incorporated many classic lines that would become famous later, causing the others to laugh uncontrollably.

Lin Xiao's eyes swept across the room, and he was momentarily taken aback

Upon entering the stage of Happy Camp, several individuals greeted each other amicably and got acquainted. This is the first step of the variety show; the initial rehearsal serves to "test the waters" and assess whether the participants can appreciate humor and the extent to which they can engage in jokes. If someone is not fond of humor, the host will try to avoid making jokes to prevent any awkward silences

The dialogue proceeded smoothly, although Chen Kun appeared somewhat restrained; however, he was still quite easy to talk to. In contrast, Zhao Wei displayed a slightly aloof expression, never taking the initiative to lighten the mood for them, only doing so for Chen Kun, helping him out of tight spots while almost treating the other two as if they were invisible. Lin Xiao did not take offense, as he knew that the other party had already become immensely popular following the broadcast of "My Fair Princess" in 1998, while he was aware that it would not be until 2002, with "The Golden Powder Family," that everyone would truly recognize Chen Kun.

The night breeze blew in, carrying a hint of the solitude that accompanies the fading splendor of the city. They sat on a bench by the roadside, watching the passing vehicles with great interest

"How about going for a late-night snack?" Lin Xiao proposed, as he was not about to let such an opportunity for networking slip away easily

The car quickly arrived at the foot of Hunan Television Station, and CAMI skillfully led him up to the third floor

Lin Xiao sighed; there were words he could not say, and he could only shrug his shoulders: "That is truly a pity"

He shook his head, secretly laughing at himself for not having achieved anything since his return, yet he had met almost all the future A-list stars. He still had a potential project with Huang Xiaoming on hand.

Lin Xiao, Li Hao. Have you considered becoming regular guests at our Happy Base and Book Camp?" Li Xiang wiped away the tears that had just come from laughing and asked, "I am not a producer, and some things are not expressed clearly, but I always feel that your style is completely different from ours now.

I apologize for interrupting your rendezvous. He then noticed that CAMI was also standing at the door: However, it is time for the script rehearsal tonight, and the two trainees have also arrived. The television station has asked you to go over.

"So, may I ask how Lin Xiao came to think about developing in the entertainment industry?" Li Xiang asked with a smile. As the dialogue progressed, Chen Kun spoke less and less, and many shots instead focused on the faces of the other three guests

"The ratings for this episode will definitely rise, I have a feeling." He Jiong also laughed heartily: "We are sincerely inviting you; if you participate in the variety show, it will definitely be a great..."

"Lin Xiao, I think your personality is quite similar to that of a certain director." Zhao Wei did not join in the laughter of a group of mediocre artists; she simply smiled faintly and remained silent. This was the first time she spoke after Lin Xiao had just finished telling a joke.

The intent is too obvious, which may scare away the prey and ultimately be counterproductive. Just like before, he made trivial jokes, maintaining a good balance during their first meeting; it was sufficient to leave an impression on the other party, ensuring they would remember him.

Unfortunately, although Xiaoyanzi became popular in a year, it took several years to overturn the established image of Xiaoyanzi in the audience's mind

Zhao Wei first revealed a hint of gratitude in her gaze. She and Chen Kun are classmates and have a good relationship; this time, there was indeed a sense of support. However, the newcomer’s nervousness caused the other party to perform poorly. If it weren't for Lin Xiao frequently diverting the topic, the camera would likely not be focused on him now.

"Good!" Li Hao was the first to nod, followed by Chen Kun who also affirmed it. He Jiong and Li Xiang discussed it briefly at https://m.hetushu.com, and did not refuse. Only Zhao Wei hesitated for a moment

Lin Xiao took a careful look and almost thought he was seeing things. Isn't this He Jiong, the future star host of Hunan TV? Why does he have such a young face?

"We have met a few times," CAMI replied simply

He suddenly couldn't think of a suitable adjective, but Chen Kun, who was smiling beside him, offered a word: "eccentric"

Lin Xiao smiled, feeling quite good about the sensation of youth being unaware of the taste of sorrow. After taking a look, he noticed that Li Hao was hosting an outdoor program and seemed to have gotten a bit tanned

Of course, in this way, that person's opportunities for exposure would be significantly reduced, and even more so, they might end up on that television station's blacklist

Of course, it is because the entertainment industry allows for a change of face every day. You have no idea how difficult it is for the music industry to change its direction he said with a smile

Once again, they entered the Hunan TV building, but this time, they were taken directly to the production room on the top floor. In the spacious production room, there were already four people rehearsing their lines.

Lin Xiao's mind was already racing. In 2000, Zhao Wei mentioned Stephen Chow to him

"I have not received formal professional training, so I do not have such deep insights. You should ask the two individuals beside me." Lin Xiao subtly shifted the focus of the conversation.

Oh? Who are the other two people? Lin Xiao asked

"Exactly, this time there are six guests, but only two participants have arrived so far. The other two have already sent their scripts, and they will arrive when the recording officially begins," He Jiong explained.

"How wonderful." Li Hao suddenly spoke, "If I become famous in the future, it would probably be impossible to stroll down the street like this without any reservations."

Alright, the time is almost up. Let's record this episode when the other two arrive in a few days. The effect should be quite good, " He Jiong said
