Being Famous
Ferris Hunter rummaged a cap he bought before though the car. After rummaging it for a long time, he found it under the co-pilot's seat. Meanwhile, he pulled out a gossip magazine given by Melody Baker during the day.
The cover title is in scary standard large font, in red and black-"Boom! Many first-line stars in the entertainment circle participated in the group sex party! "There is also a frontal photo of him coming out of the hotel.
"..." Ferris buttoned his hat on his head, after thinking for a while, he put on his mask and sunglasses, he looked in the rearview mirror for a few times before finally getting out of the car.
The news from Melody came very timely. Even if the time was short and the situation was critical, she has been very calm from beginning to end.
"We have already contacted public relations. Don't say anything on social platforms. Those who are clear will be clear on their own."
Ferris: "I know."
Melody: "Magazines are just get people's attention."
Ferris was silent for a while before saying: "Internet information is so developed, and it can make magazines out of stock. How popular I am!"
Melody seemed to smile: "You still have the heart to say this."
Ferris had nothing to say. He bought a watermelon at the fruit shop at the intersection. He was scanning the QR code that the boss had placed on the counter to pay. Melody’s news came again.
"What the hell did you do?" she asked, "Can't you really say it?"
Ferris replied with four words: "Personal privacy."
Melody stopped asking.
Ferris took the watermelon and turned into the alley.
Rich Hawk, his teacher, lived in the old town after retiring. Ferris would visit her a couple of times a year. The old lady still insisted on performing monthly dramas at this age, running in big cities. Ferris had to make an appointment to see her.
The old house brought a courtyard and dug a small pond. Ferris squatted there to help his teacher exchange fish, Rich Hawk cut out the watermelon.
"Don't come to see me if you are busy." Rich Hawk whispered softly with a cloak on her shoulders, "has something happened recently?"
Ferris stood up. His hair grew a bit longer. For the next costume play, the two strands of the temple almost fell on his shoulders, and he was randomly moved to the back of his head.
"It's all rain and wind outside." Ferris said, "Don't take it seriously."
Rich Hawk nodded: "I don't believe it; I know who you are."
Ferris didn't stay at Rich Hawk's house for dinner. When he got back to the car, he felt that someone was following him all the way. Just when he was about to lower the window and shout, Melody's call came in.
When he picked it up, his tone was not very good, and Melody immediately heard it: "Don't quarrel with others. Circumstance alter cases."
Ferris smashed the horn of the car.
Melody waited for the harsh "beep" to pass, and then calmly said: "You are not willing to show evidence of what you are doing. The media will not let it go. We have to help you think of a reason."
"Anything will do." Ferris said irritably, "Fuck, you don't see that they could put the camera on my windshield!"
Melody: "Photographed whenever you are photographed. Your face is so handsome and worth a lot of money. It's a pity that it hasn't been exposed several times in a year. Let them take enough pictures this time!"
Ferris: "..."
Melody probably suddenly figured it out, and with inexplicably aura: "You haven't had an injection or a plastic surgery, you can always keep good condition. You have a high-definition face 360° and no dead ends, all your pictures don't need to be fixed! Which male star at your age can have such high-quality pictures?!"
Ferris held his forehead, he was a little tired: "Okay, let's talk about it, don't boast."
Melody accepted it as soon as he sees it, and didn’t talk nonsense with him: "We thought of a plan, saying that you will be dating someone at that hotel, an underground romance, and you’re about to get engaged."
Ferris interrupted her: "Wait, in love or about to get engaged?"
Melody: "have been in love for three or four years and are about to get engaged."
"..." Ferris was a little unhappy, "You are very good, when did you arrange a three-year relationship for me which I don't know it myself?"
Melody: "So I am discussing with you and looking for cooperation. In addition to filming, your relationship life has been blank in the past few years. The public relations we raised don't even need to deal with the affair about eating privately. This is the time just came in handy. Young love affair, self-cleanliness, single-minded affection, what a good topic."
There was no response from Ferris and did not know whether he planned to cooperate or not. Melody has been working with him for almost 10 years, witnessing Ferris scored TV King for three times, and just won The Best Actor Award, a very important award in TV show in the first half of this year. In addition to the basic face and body management, and the modest and low-key private life, Ferris even usually enters the group filming with one assistant at most, doing everything by himself, dedicated and patient. His character setting in the industry are as perfect as a fake Like people, the key is that he does not cause troubles to the brokerage team, and never talks nonsense or messes with gossip.
Melody tells the truth, working with Ferris, she can lose hair under pressure, worries about even if she doesn't do a good enough step, and will put a dust on the other side's perfect life.
Ferris is too dedicated. He is so dedicated that even when he loses his temper, you also think that his temper is particularly politically correct. It must be because I didn't do it well.
For example, at this moment Ferris is losing his temper. He was polite to the paparazzi, never to the point of swearing in person, cold face at the most, but he is also complained black in the face by the paparazzi. But he looks good, if he appears in public, he is impeccable, the face is not swollen, there are no dark circles under the eyes, and the lip lines are treated cleanly. It is also impossible to have late night acne and yellow skin. Anyway, in Melody's words, no pores and fine lines can be photographed on the face even the lens is next to his face, all is imperfect.
There was a paparazzi on the side of the car, and the paparazzi took out the camera and stuck it on his car window glass. Ferris glanced at the camera blankly, then tore off the cover of the magazine in his hand and covered it on the car window.
He turned the steering wheel while talking on the phone: "Who would like to cooperate with us?"
Melody knew that he was letting go, took a deep breath, and hurriedly said, "There are several female stars, and there are also men. You also know that same-sex marriage has been open for several years. This area is also highly accepted by everyone. The hotel is not a small one. The super five-star receives so many people a day, who knows that a group sex scandal will be exposed. Pornography, gambling and drugs must be a major event. Every team is in a hurry. You have such good conditions and you can pick it casually."
Ferris thought for a while, and then said: "Look for a guy. The untied later will affect the female’s career. Guys are better."
Melody helplessly: "Even at this time you are still a gentleman."
Ferris drove the car out of the small road, and there was a paparazzi following in the rearview mirror. He couldn't help complaining: "I'm so annoying!"
Melody coaxed him: "Don't be annoying, I'll help you choose again."
Ferris hung up the phone, and there was new news on WhatsApp. It has only been 24 hours since it happened. The news that came was livelier than the ones that sent blessings during the New Year. Many people rushed to show their loyalty and say they believe him. Asked him if he has anything need to do, or if he needs help, and Ferris was actually very clear in his heart for those who just spied on the reality and truth.
He replied a few, slipped down, and saw Dr. Cotton's message: "How is your sleep these days? How about your morning reaction?"
Ferris stared at this one for a long time, and suddenly felt very tired. He dropped the phone aside and didn't want to touch it again.
Melody’s ability to work does not need to be questioned. She said that she would help Ferris look for it, and she would find Ferris satisfied, but she didn’t expect that she hadn’t found it within her defense range, when someone would send it to the door first.
Louis London also visited that hotel that day, and his photo seemed to be exposed because the team’s price was not negotiated.
When Melody heard the news, she had the illusion of smashing pie from the sky, so that she was in a daze, and asked the people around her: "What is the auspicious day that day, these king actors rushed to get rooms... …Worship God?"
Industry insiders know that film and drama are two parts, and the top big-screen face is a dimensionality reduction strike. It doesn’t have relations with flow or marketing, the actual performance depends on acting skills.
Louis is the one who is the most cutting-edge in that PART, and he hasn't been in the ordinary world so far.
He debuted not early, but with the help of famous directors, he was also good at choosing the script. The first show got three gold medals in the country. Melody had seen his performances. From a professional point of view, he was talented, the best one.
She hadn't said this in front of Ferris. It was not that her boss was stingy, but Melody knew that Ferris had always had ideas on the big screen.
In the past few years, he could summon wind and rain in the TV drama circle. He was just short of chance. Louis jumped three times in a row and had picked a lot of foreign film kings.
And Louis not only shoot prize films, but his commercial films could also support the box office. It was really irritating.
Ferris never complained to Melody about what kind of film he made in the industry, how resources are allocated, or who is not good at acting. He is the kind of person who works hard like an old scalper with his head covered, and he has no time to talk about other behind.
However, Louis’s involvement in the group sex scandal was more pressured than Ferris’s side. He had an award-winning film aimed Oscar in the second half of the year. The secret contract was just signed, only waited for the official announcement then he would join the group. Mentioning his international position, there was a Lunar New Year stall at the end of the year, and he had cooperated with well-known commercial directors and invested money in back-to-back gambling, including the Blue Blood endorsements in fashion next year. These all add up, he couldn't afford to fail even one of all these.
So, when the other's brokerage team took the initiative to find her, Melody was rather calm. Neither of them showed their faces, only lower level employees talked like sting and clash of battle.
Jerry Young and Louis are also old partners. He and Melody have similar positions in the industry, and their resources are stalemate. They are both talented people who can go on horses to stabilize the world and coax their masters under horses.
Jerry's attitude is very good, and he mentioned cooperation and win-win when he came up to overcome difficulties together.
Melody smiled like a flower: "If Mr. London is willing to cooperate, of course we welcome it."
Jerry: "Well, Mr. Hunter has a good reputation, and I can rest assured when we cooperate."
The two smirked politely at each other for a while before getting to the point.
Melody always wants to ask something clearly: "Mr. London just happened to be there, right? He really didn't participate?"
Jerry had a humiliated expression on his face, and righteously said: "Definitely not, our Mr. London is not that kind of person!"
Melody was not so easy to coax. She has studied Louis a lot. This person has high position but also has a big temper. It is not the temperament of behave like prima, he is not disciplined, willful and arrogant, and he is used to being arrogant. Well, an actor is a bit of false hype, even Ferris's seemingly perfect dummy, Melody has marketed him careless for a while, and of course, he has some real elements in it.
But Louis seems to be insulated from these. He came out very early. There is no so-called personality. Because the career is too fast, no one can catch up. Even the criticism of his private life seems to be not hurt or itchy. His management team didn't feel as if they were working for their ancestors. Louis didn't get into trouble. There were a few scandals in his circle, and they were all peers who could be named. Didn't know was given enough money or the relationship was good. The follow-up would not tear face or make ugly. He is also generous in giving resources to his friends. Even not pretend to be scornful to the media, but the media would still accept him.
Melody remembers that a famous fashion magazine gave him the cover of the year, and several big resources were rushing to give the new high definition. The master who instructed the image design that day commented that Louis's face was pinched out by Nuwa using three processing plants.
What's more, no one thought exaggeration, it was all taken for granted.
Jerry believed that Melody would not refuse them. At any rate, it could be regarded as a "strong alliance" and "a good match". If you really wanted to care about it, Ferris would make more money. After all, Louis's big screen resources were what the other party lacks now.
Melody didn't dare to make decisions directly, she had to ask Ferris: "Our Mr. Hunter is relatively simple, it's really hard to say about this relationship."
Jerry didn't panic, he laughed and said, "Sister Baker, don't do Tai Chi. He is a man in his thirties. Who would believe he is pure? Do you believe it? Anyway, I don't believe it. "
Melody: "……"
