Chapter 5
Xu Jue's allergy was because he drank the corn soup, so he couldn't eat corn.
Although it was not serious this time, it was very painful. The rash disappeared after taking the medicine, but his reaction to the allergy medicine was a bit severe, and he remained groggy and sleepy the next day.
After recovering some energy at night, he asked his attending physician for a complete medical record.
The doctor sent it almost in the next second, and he was very happy between the words, and felt relieved that he was finally willing to face up to his body.
Xu Jue looked at the whole page of allergens and couldn't help but marvel. Zhang Chang said that he was the princess and the pea, which was absolutely perfect and appropriate.
He was also very curious about how the original body grew up.
The common fruits are only strawberries, grapes and oranges, and the meat can only be fish and beef, but most of the vegetables can be eaten, basically equal to herbivores.
Fortunately, most of his allergic symptoms are mild, usually just a little rash, so if he occasionally gets hungry, take the medicine first and then eat less of those foods, usually there will be no big problem.
In addition to peanuts, he has a severe allergy to peanuts, and any of them may kill him.
Xu Jue read all the allergens carefully, and his mind was in a mess. No wonder Zhang Chang scolded Yuan that he couldn't memorize it. It was really hard to memorize.
In the end, Xu Jue only summed up a few things that he was sure he wasn't allergic to, so write them down carefully, and just don't eat or touch anything except these in the future, and deal with them first.
The rating will officially start the next day, and he has to go back to the company for a meeting tonight.
Zhang Chang drove to the company. The building at night was much cooler than in the daytime. The cold lights sprinkled on the white porcelain floor tiles made people feel cool all over.
Xu Jue rubbed his shoulders and whispered to Zhang Chang, "I'm afraid it will rain tomorrow."
Zhang Chang immediately became nervous: "Are you feeling unwell again?"
"No," Xu Jue let go of his hand and said casually, "My shoulders are a little sore."
The two were standing in the lobby on the first floor waiting for the elevator, when suddenly there was a loud voice on the second floor.
The interior of the company has a U-shaped floor design, and the sound appeared on the second floor opposite. Xu Jue turned his head to look, and across the entire hall, he could only vaguely see a group of people surrounded by a vast crowd, whose expressions could not be seen clearly. Feel the atmosphere is quite high.
"The company recently signed a newcomer," Zhang Chang said in Xu Jue's ear, "Ding Ke, recently acted as the youngest son in an ethical drama. The reputation is quite good, and you may have heard of it."
When Xu Jue first debuted, there was such a mighty group of artists. Zhang Chang paid attention to Xu Jue's expression, fearing that he would lose again.
But Xu Jue just nodded and stepped into the elevator without saying anything. It was not as big as Zhang Chang's reaction when he found out that he would eat pickled cabbage fish tomorrow at noon.
Every company attaches great importance to the rating of the Institute of Performance and Research. The boss of the company who doesn't see him a few times a year has to tell him personally today.
When the elevator reached the top floor, Zhang Chang knocked on the door of the office, and there were two people sitting inside besides the boss.
Xu Jue greeted Hua Ziliang, the boss in the middle, and Zhang Chang's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Brother Nie?"
He sounded shocked, Xu Jue couldn't help but look back at him, Zhang Chang stared at the man sitting on the sofa with wide eyes.
The middle-aged man called "Brother Nie" stood up, with a smile on his face, and beckoned to Xu Jue and the others, "Xiao Jue Xiao Zhang, come and sit down."
Zhang Chang stood still, looking at the young man beside Brother Nie, who was Ding Ke they had just mentioned.
Zhang Chang's eyes turned around between the two, and fell back on Brother Nie's face: "What's going on, Brother?"
Although Brother Nie is middle-aged, he doesn't look fat, and his body is well controlled. With a pair of half-rim glasses, he looks very shrewd.
"Hey," he pushed his glasses, looked at Xu Jue with a regretful expression, "that's what I'm going to talk about today, I'm sorry, Xiao Jue, I can't take you with me anymore, I have to obey the company's arrangement."
As he spoke, he glanced at Hua Ziliang who was seated above.
Hua Ziliang took over the conversation naturally and nodded, "For Xiaojue, this decision was made after careful consideration by the company. You come here first, and we will talk slowly."
Brother Nie, Nie Chengyi, Yuanshen's manager.
Xu Jue had an impression of him. The last time the original body appeared in the book was from Nie Chengyi.
Calculating the time is almost now, when the rating of actor titles this year is about to start.
He used up all his connections to make up for a dinner where Qi Yanjing was also present, and Qi Yanjing inadvertently asked him how Xu Jue was doing.
Nie Chengyi belittled Xu Jue inside and out, and then said that he was no longer with him, and tried his best to recommend his current artists, hoping to get Qi Yanjing's favor.
Now it seems that his new artist is Ding Ke who is greeting him with a smile.
When Xu Jue got to know the entertainment circle in the book, he watched some clips of Ding Ke's acting. To be honest, it was so-so, but among the young students who made their debut recently, it was considered good.
He is two years older than Xu Jue. He has just graduated this year, and his appearance is not outstanding, but his facial features are all upright, and his usual marketing also follows the route of "righteousness and awe-inspiring roots".
Zhang Chang couldn't bear it anymore, he stepped forward two steps to question Nie Chengyi, but was stopped by Xu Jue.
Xu Jue sat down on the sofa opposite Nie Chengyi. Zhang Chang wanted to question him, but Xu Jue looked at him and reluctantly shut up.
Xu Jue looked at Nie Chengyi and then at Ding Ke, and smiled: "It turns out that Brother Nie has asked for leave these two days because of this."
Nie Chengyi looked distressed, and Hua Ziliang immediately put his name on himself, "Don't worry, Xiaojue, this is all arranged by the company."
He said earnestly: "Xiao Ke has just signed into the company, and he is about to start grading again. He needs a senior broker to guide him. Among the senior brokers in our company, he is only arranged if the benefits are relatively suitable."
"But don't worry, Xiaojue, the company will definitely arrange another agent for you as soon as possible. You have to believe that the company cares about all artists equally."
This made Xu Jue want to laugh.
He did indeed laugh, his brows and eyes looking forward, "Then when is Mr. Hua planning to assign me a new manager?"
Hua Ziliang was dazzled by his smile, and he said after a while, "This... well, don't worry, the manager is too important, I have to choose it for you."
Xu Jue pinched his earlobe, and stopped talking with a smile.
Ding Ke clenched his hands on his knees. No one in the circle didn't know Xu Jue. They all said that he had a weird temper and a stupid head, but his face was indeed the ceiling.
He hadn't seen it with his own eyes before, and he was still shocked when he saw it now. Xu Jue himself was much prettier than any of his photos.
It's good to see that keeping his face down can make everyone around him dim the moment he laughs.
"Xiao Jue," Nie Chengyi cleared his throat, "We all come here today and we have something else to do, so we'll be grading tomorrow. We want to discuss with you, can you and Xiao Ke change the order of entry? "
What he said was a discussion, but his tone was almost equal to a notice.
"Then how can we do it!" Before Xu Jue could speak, Zhang Chang couldn't sit still, "The order of entering the arena has been set long ago, and besides, Ding Ke is a junior, so what's the point of letting him go first!"
The entrance to the rating is a grand ceremony every year, the order is equal to the coffee position, and it is the focus of controversy every year.
Although Xu Jue has a bad reputation, at least he is Ding Ke's senior who debuted in the same company three years earlier, and Ding Ke can't let Ding Ke go ahead because of emotion and reason.
Zhang Chang was about to explode in anger, and asked Hua Ziliang: "Mr. Hua, judge, are they bullying?"
Xu Jue really wanted to rub Zhang Chang's innocent head. The three people in front of him were obviously acting in the same play, so how could Hua Ziliang help him judge.
Sure enough, Hua Ziliang showed a heartbroken expression, "I know Xiaojue will feel a little wronged like this, but we also have considerations."
"The three people in front of Xiaojue are all Xiaoke's classmates and seniors. We are afraid that Xiaojue will be uncomfortable in the middle when we sit down."
Isn't this mocking Yuan Bo for not having a degree?
Ding Ke was born in a major, and the surroundings are also majors, so they naturally chatted, and Xu Jue insisted on being caught in it, just to make himself uncomfortable.
"You, you," Zhang Chang was about to cry angrily, "It's too much."
"This is a real misunderstanding," Ding Ke said, who had been silent all this time. "We are all thinking about our seniors. I know the seniors around me very well. I thought I could help introduce them in front of me."
He sat up straight and spoke as if he was telling the truth.
Xu Jue was too lazy to watch him act, so he nodded, "Okay, if you want to, go ahead."
Nie Chengyi didn't expect Xu Jue to agree so happily. He had no chance to say what he had prepared, and it was all in his throat, and he pressed it down forcefully, and put on a smirk: "It's great that you can think so, little girl." Sui has become more sensible recently."
"Xiao Jue!" Zhang Chang tugged at his sleeve angrily.
Xu Jue patted him on the shoulder with his backhand, and asked Hua Ziliang, "Is there anything else Mr. Hua wants to explain?"
"Yes, there is another small matter." Seeing that Xu Jue suddenly became more talkative, Hua Ziliang became even more unscrupulous, "Didn't I invite you to shoot for the October anniversary issue of V Magazine? I just wanted you to bring Xiao Ke along."
This is the top fashion magazine in the industry. According to Ding Ke's current coffee position, the corners of the inner pages can't reach.
Xu Jue raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "How should I decide this? Shouldn't I go to the magazine?"
Hua Ziliang's smile became a little awkward, "You're a senior, shouldn't you take care of your juniors?"
Zhang Chang sneered: "Now I know that Xiao Jue is a senior."
Xu Jue probably guessed what was going on just by looking at the expressions of the three people.
The editor-in-chief of V magazine is also notoriously short-tempered. He only likes good-looking ones. Most likely, Ding Ke has already hit a wall with her, so he thought of coming to rub Xu Jue.
Xu Jue looked at Ding Ke with his chin, and said with a very innocent expression: "Mr. Hua, why don't you take Xiao Ke to meet the editor-in-chief, Xiao Ke is so good-looking, the editor-in-chief will definitely put him on the C position on the cover." .”
Ding Ke's complexion changed drastically.
Nie Chengyi also said, "Xiao Jue, be careful when you speak."
Xu Jue blinked: "Did I say something wrong?"
"No need," Ding Ke suddenly said with a choked voice, "I'm not going to be in that magazine, I'm an actor, not a model to sell my face, and I will use my actual performance to be on the cover in the future."
Xu Jue almost wanted to applaud him, and said to Hua Ziliang gratifiedly: "Mr. Hua, where did you find the talent, you are really ambitious."
Hua Ziliang's face was so dark that it couldn't be darker, he glared at Ding Ke, and wanted to say something to Xu Jue.
But Xu Jue stood up, rubbed his shoulders lightly, his brows and eyes were a little tired: "Mr. Hua should have nothing else to say, I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back first."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Hua Ziliang's reply, he stood up and smiled at Ding Ke who was sitting on the sofa, "Come on, junior."
Ding Ke's proud self-esteem was once again severely attacked by his smile.
After Xu Jue left, Hua Ziliang couldn't bear it any longer, pointed at Ding Ke's nose and scolded: "Why do you say you are so noble, what kind of magazine do you think it is? Let Xu Jue take it, and you will be able to read it next month." Come on, let you fight on your own, the Year of the Monkey is gone?"
"Is self-esteem that important?!"
Ding Ke looked up, indignantly: "But he said I'm ugly! He said I'm uglier than him, saying every word that the editor-in-chief looks down on me, so I still want to post him? Isn't he so arrogant because of his face? !"
"Is what he said wrong?" Nie Chengyi was also angry, "You have to compare yourself with him. You have to compare your face. Have you seen any company in the circle in the past few years saying that they are prettier than him!"
He wandered around the sofa for a few times before sitting back next to Ding Ke, patted the table and said, "Your advantage is acting. Xiao Ke, you are from a major and you have strength, which is different from that idiot Xu Jue."
"What do you think about the ratings of the acting research institute? They only look at absolute strength. Are you inferior to Xu Jue in acting skills?"
"Besides, Xu Jue offended Qi Yanjing, do you think he can have any good fruit in it? Take a longer view, young man!"
·
At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, the admission ceremony for ratings officially began.
Huaguo attaches great importance to cultural dissemination, and the Institute of Performing Arts is a state-level cultural institution, which has specially built a solemn palace-like base in the suburbs.
The pick-up vehicles can only be parked in front of the outermost iron gate, and the actors need to walk through a blue-carpeted avenue by themselves.
After passing the boulevard, there is a wide and towering staircase. The blue carpet of the staircase is sprinkled with gold powder, and the more it goes up, the top looks like a dark blue starry sky.
The process of stepping up the steps of the actors step by step on the Internet is called "climbing the hall". The auditorium inside the door is the place where the initial evaluation and the final evaluation are held today.
After three months, everything is over, and the last actors left will come out of this door again, and then step on the blue carpet like the starry sky, but at that time they have already crowned their bodies.
When Xu Jue arrived, the surrounding area of the blue carpet was already occupied by media reporters, and the short guns were ready to go.
Although promotional photos have been taken before, today is the day before they officially appear to the national audience through live broadcast, and they do not need to wear official uniforms.
Most actors will choose the simplest outfits, as if they are expressing that they are not interested in fame and fortune in this way, but simply love acting.
For example, Ding Ke in front of the steps now.
He only wore the simplest white T-shirt and jeans, and the temperature started to cool down last night. Today's autumn wind is bleak, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on his exposed arms.
But his expression was passionate and his tone was warm, no matter how he looked, he looked like a young man who was not afraid of the cold.
"It's really a great honor to participate in this rating. I have graduated for a few months, but here I have found the memories of sitting by the lakeside of the Capital Film Academy with my mentors and classmates, discussing scripts. Professor Li always taught us ..."
Xu Jue and Zhang Chang waited behind, and Zhang Chang rolled his eyes to the sky: "Is it necessary to do this? I'm afraid others will not know that he is from a professional class."
Xu Jue also lowered his head and endured, the big sunglasses on his face covered the smile in his eyes.
There were many actors participating in the initial evaluation, and each of them only had a fixed few minutes to walk on the blue carpet. The staff pinched the stopwatch and told Xu Jue that it was time to go.
Ding Ke in front of him still refused to go up the steps, and kept giving a speech.
The barrage is starting to get boring.
[Why hasn't he finished speaking yet? 】
【Is Xu Jue coming?Has he passed? 】
[Is he really coming?I wouldn't believe it unless I saw it with my own eyes, Xu Jue could pass the exam? 】
[So now this...what is it called, can you hurry up, I still want to eat melons and Xu Jue]
The crowd didn't know which reporter it was, and suddenly shouted, "Xu Jue is here!"
In the next second, the media surrounding Ding Ke suddenly disappeared, and they all ran back.
Ding Ke's speech was left with the last "Looking Forward", when a gust of wind blew in front of him, and all the media disappeared in an instant.
He turned around in surprise, and saw Xu Jue coming slowly.
Xu Jue was thin but tall, wearing a soft white shirt. Because he was afraid of the cold, he put on a camel-colored long windbreaker. As he walked, the hem of the clothes gently swept his slender calves wrapped in trousers.
He walks with his back straight, his shoulders slightly open, his hands naturally put into the pockets of his windbreaker, and his steps are steady. Under the flashing lights in front of him, he still maintains a very relaxed posture, elegant, charming and graceful.
Xu Juefeng didn't get good reviews, but the popularity was really high.
The number of viewers of the live broadcast began to skyrocket, and the bullet screen was gearing up to see what famous words Xu Jue could spit out, so he could start scolding.
The media couldn't help but issue a series of questions.
Xu Jue took off his sunglasses unhurriedly, and wrapped his slender fingers in black velvet gloves.
He raised his eyes and picked a media at random, and smiled lightly at the camera: "Hello everyone?"
