Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 532 Come to the door
When the name [Papi Jiang] became famous on the Internet, for most netizens, they only knew that this woman who looked like Sophie Marceau was called [Papi Jiang].
The iconic line "a remarkable woman who combines talent and beauty" made the audience remember this person, but of course, no one knew her name.
After all, the Internet connects us, so we should cherish this bond. Meeting each other is fate, so why should we care about the other person's true identity?
Even if you are as quiet as a chicken in real life, it does not stop you from being naughty on the Internet.
Of course, this is also because most people will never have any intersection with him in real life, but as [Papi Jiang] became popular on the entire Internet, more and more people around him began to recognize Jiang Yile.
Although the Internet world is big enough, Papi Jiang is indeed famous enough, so the first people to recognize her were naturally her former classmates at the Central Academy of Drama.
Among the three major drama academies in China, the Central Academy of Drama is definitely at the top of the contempt chain.
A lot of celebrities you can name, if you do a quick search, you will find that they are basically from the Central Academy of Drama, such as Zhang Ziyi, Gong Huang, and Chen Daoming.
Of course, the gathering of stars is only part of it. What really makes the Central Academy of Drama stand out is probably that the answer lies in the mystery, which can be seen from the name alone.
For countless students who dream of entering the entertainment industry, the Chinese Academy of Drama is undoubtedly the highest ideal place in their minds.
In their view, as long as they can enter the Central Academy of Drama, they have almost stepped half a foot into the entertainment industry.
After all, many well-known directors and crews like to go to the Central Academy of Drama to select potential talents to star in their own movies.
Of course, the road to fame in the entertainment industry is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. As the saying goes, if you have half a foot in the entertainment industry, you still have half a foot outside.
Even if they graduate from the Central Academy of Drama, only a few can naturally step onto the stage. Most people, like Jiang Yilei, go behind the scenes after graduation and do behind-the-scenes work.
After four years of college, some people pursue their dreams, while more people face reality.
Most of Jiang Yile's college classmates were like this, and one can imagine how shocked they were when they saw "Papi Jiang" on the Internet for the first time.
This shock is no less than meeting your first love in a club...
If it was just an unrelated person who became an Internet celebrity, most people might not feel anything, but seeing someone they once knew become famous...
That feeling is as complicated as it can be.
It’s like watching your good brother make a lot of money, which is more painful than losing money yourself (funny).
Of course, this is only a manifestation of the psychological imbalance of some individuals. Some people quickly realized the commercial potential behind Papi Jiang's sudden popularity on the Internet.
And they came to the door very quickly, and made a call directly to the cell phone of the person involved, Jiang Yile.
Recently, Jiang Yilei has experienced what it means to "live under the microscope for ten years without anyone paying attention to you, and then become famous overnight and known to the world."
Even if Yiyi Media is leading the way and attracting a lot of firepower , it cannot withstand the countless "friends" who suddenly appear around it and ask about its well-being.
Otherwise, there is a popular saying in the entertainment industry: "When you become famous, you will find that everyone around you is a good person."
However, when he saw the name "Yang Ming" on the phone, Jiang Yilei still smiled.
During his college life at the Central Academy of Drama, Jiang Yilei not only found love, but also had good friends, and Yang Ming was one of them.
Compared to her who was unemployed after graduation, Yang Ming is doing much better in the entertainment industry.
"Hello, Lao Yang, how come you have time to call me? Aren't you working as an agent for a big star?" Jiang Yile joked with a smile after answering the phone.
Compared to Jiang Yile, who was unemployed right after graduation and returned to the Central Academy of Drama for postgraduate studies after struggling in society for a few years, Yang Ming's development in the entertainment industry has been much smoother.
Not only did he become the agent of Andora Baby, he also attended the century wedding of Huang Xiaoming. Among his friends, he was the envy of others, and they all said that Yang Ming was the best among them.
However, it is estimated that Jiang Yilei will have to be added to the list now.
“Hahaha, I’ve been an agent for a few years now, and I wanted to start my own business, so I teamed up with someone to open an agency and signed a few celebrities…” Yang Ming laughed, not hiding anything.
"Wow, you've become the big boss now, but why don't you think about us old friends..." Jiang Yile said sarcastically.
“When the company was first established, I thought I would contact you after it became stable. I didn’t expect that you would quietly create such a big stir on the Internet. It’s true that you should look at people with new eyes after three days of absence.” Yang Ming sighed.
Just based on the popularity and fame of the account [Papi Jiang] on the Internet, Yang Ming believes that its commercial value is definitely no less than that of a second-tier star.
Because of its relatively unique attribute bonus, it may even be slightly closer to some first-line stars. Especially if it is marketed properly, it may even create a considerable return.
As one of the owners of an agency, Yang Ming is naturally very familiar with this, otherwise he would not be able to open an agency.
When I see that my old friend is now doing very well on the Internet, although I didn't have the chance to help him, it's not too late to add to his success now.
“I didn’t expect that. I just thought about shooting something different online while preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam. I didn’t expect that there would be people watching what I was shooting, and that some people even valued what I shot and wanted to sign a contract with me…” Jiang Yilei couldn’t help but sigh.
Sometimes the circumstances in life are so wonderful that no one knows at which intersection the turning point will occur.
"Now it seems that this person has better vision than me. He was able to see your potential just by looking at your works on the Internet. On the contrary, I, your old friend from four years in college, failed to see it. Otherwise, I would definitely be the first one to sign you..."
Yang Ming said with a slightly unwilling tone, he didn't expect that just a moment's thought would let such a good opportunity slip away from him.
"I told you that you would not do anything without a profit. Why did you think of looking for me? It turns out you came for this matter." At this time, Jiang Yilei also reacted and said with sudden enlightenment.
I thought they were just old friends catching up, but I didn't expect they were here for profit. However, Jiang Yilei didn't mind this. After all, Jiang Yilei is no longer a young man who has just entered the society.
We are all adults, so it is normal to focus on interests.
"It's so polite to say this, I just want to help you gain more benefits. How about I be your agent and ask your company for some benefits?" Yang Ming was not shy and said very directly.
"That won't do. My current agent is my husband, Lao Hu. He will be jealous if you do this. Besides, my company treats me well, and our boss is an even better person..."
Jiang Yile said very directly that after all, at the stage where he was just pursuing his hobby, signing with Yinian Media provided him with a basic source of income.
At the same time, after winning the Golden Second Award, the promised million-dollar bonus has already arrived.
Today, Jiang Yilei is indeed no longer the miserable graduate student who was “happy every day but had no money”.
“How about you help me make some connections? I want to cooperate with your company and participate in the advertising bidding…” Yang Ming still didn’t give up and said second.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? This is of course no problem..." Jiang Yile agreed immediately.
