Chapter 49
"Xiao Peng, we have worked together for a while. I'm older than you, so it's not too much to call me uncle, right?" Ju Xingmao asked.
"Uncle Mao." Peng Hui called directly.
"Eh..." Ju Xingmao looked very happy. Peng Hui, a little fresh meat, was very optimistic to Ju Xingmao.
He has acting skills, ideas, and strength.
And the key is, it doesn’t have those stinky problems.
Don't underestimate a director who has been in the industry for more than ten years.
Anyone who can become a director is a talented person!
You can tell who is like who at a glance!
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be guaranteed. If you are slapped in the face, there is nothing you can do.
But Ju Xingmao was extremely optimistic about Peng Hui.
This is a very nice young man.
"How about it? Think about it?" Ju Xingmao asked again.
"Uncle Mao..." Peng Hui asked with a wry smile: "Can I ask you a question?"
Ju Xingmao was startled, then smiled and said, "Okay, just ask."
"Perfect... is there room for young male artists to survive?" Peng Hui asked rhetorically.
Ju Xingmao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Ju Xingmao's agency, Perfect Jianxin, is run by director Guo Yu.
It can be said that the number one candidate for perfecting the trust is director Guo Yu.
The reason why Guo Yu founded Perfect Jianxin was, on the one hand, to facilitate his filming, and on the other hand, to praise his brother Yang Gang.
Although Guo Yu has filmed many popular period dramas in recent years, the male protagonists are basically his younger brothers.
In this way, it can be said that the other artists of Perfect Jianxin basically signed contracts to facilitate Guo Yu's filming and to co-star with his younger brother Yang Gang.
The youngest male artists are all in their twenties!
In other words, if Peng Hui signs a contract with Perfect Jianxin, whether he can become famous is second to none. The key is that there is no soil for him to survive.
Perfect Jianxin shoots basically period dramas, and in period dramas, the male lead must be Yang Gang.
If Peng Hui passes, I'm afraid he will only be able to play the second male lead.
Why is "Soul Ferry" directed by Ju Xingmao?
The reason is simple.
Because in Perfect Jianxin, whenever Guo Yu is filming, the leading actor must be his younger brother.
Yu Yi can be said to be Guo Yu's supporting role.
But artists, especially those who are ambitious in their careers, are naturally not willing to play supporting roles throughout their lives.
However, in Guo Yu's drama, he would never dream of playing the leading role in his life!
This is how "Soul Ferry" came about.
Although this is a self-produced drama produced by iQiyi, the cast and crew are behind the scenes of Perfect Creation.
Of course, they are all second-tier.
Of course, Juxingmao invited Peng Hui to sign with Perfect Jianxin not for any other reason, but just with the idea of giving it a try and wanting to sign an exclusive artist.
After all, in his expectation, "Soul Ferry" is a series, and there are expected to be three movies.
As one of the male protagonists, Peng Hui, of course feels more at ease with his talents.
But unfortunately, it is obvious that Peng Hui is not stupid.
Although Ju Xingmao didn't say anything else and the topic gradually turned into a casual conversation, when the call ended, Peng Hui held his cell phone and laughed.
Although Ju Xingmao didn't say it explicitly, the underlying meaning behind his words was very simple.
Maybe the character Xia Dongqing will be... in the second part...
die.
This is obviously a very serious threat to newcomers.
but……
For Peng Hui, it didn't work.
After all, for Peng Hui, I am afraid that for some time to come, he will need to consider his future instead of giving up his freedom for a sequel.
Of course, even if "Soul Ferry" explodes, so what?
This subject matter is destined to make it impossible to become a phenomenon-level work, and at best it will only become a popular drama.
Of course, as a newcomer, it is important to be able to star in a popular drama, but for Peng Hui, it would be a real loss to ruin his prime time for the next seven or eight years for a popular drama!
Perfect Jianxin is not a qualified brokerage company. It may be friendly to female artists, but it is really disgusting to male artists, especially young male artists.
To describe it as never getting ahead is not an exaggeration at all.
In this case, how could Peng Hui choose to sign the contract?
Therefore, Peng Hui did not take Ju Xingmao's threat seriously.
The time has quickly come for the launch of "Soul Ferry".

Song Ren is an ordinary office clerk.
His hobbies are very mixed, including comedy, romance, and action.
But my favorite genre is works with supernatural themes.
Unfortunately, since the domestic entertainment industry banned the appearance of ghosts in ghost movies, he could no longer find a supernatural movie to watch.
Watching the old movie that he had almost memorized for the nth time, Song Ren seemed a little bored.
While searching for movies, iQiyi's main page suddenly got stuck.
Somewhat strange, Song Ren subconsciously refreshed the page.
Then he discovered that the tweets on iQiyi's main page seemed to have changed.
I glanced at it strangely and suddenly found a very strange movie.
""Soul Ferry"? A ghost movie?" Song Ren moved the mouse over it strangely.
The first thing that appeared in front of me was a poster.
Two men and one woman appeared on the screen with a very sinister expression.
It gives people an uncomfortable feeling.
However, after seeing clearly that the two men and one woman above turned out to be a middle-aged man and two young men, Song Ren curled his lips in disdain.
"Idol? Gee, even horror movies have become idol dramas these days." After seeing that it was a TV series, Song Ren was a little disappointed at first, and then became even more disdainful when he saw the label of the TV series.
Today's TV dramas are becoming more and more rubbish as they are produced. They only know how to hire a bunch of popular stars, but they don't know the most important thing is to tell a story well.
Although Song Ren disagreed, he had just watched an old movie and didn't want to watch it again for a while.
After thinking about it, Song Ren clicked on the interface with the idea of testing the poison.
After the commercials were turned off, the movie officially started.
"There are five kinds of eyes in this world..." As a pleasant male voice sounded, Song Ren's eyes lit up.
"This voice... isn't bad." Song Ren was a little surprised by what he said at the beginning.
What was even more surprising was that, for some reason, this voice sounded familiar to him.
"Whose voice is it?" This thought kept repeating in Song Ren's mind.
But he still couldn't remember it.
But as the plot unfolded, he immediately forgot about this problem.
Chapter completed!
