The era of top influencers that started with illiteracy

Chapter 13: What's wrong with adding each other on WeChat?

As for Shen Jian...

The ultimate goal is definitely to get an A visa.

The company's strong support is worlds apart from simply letting animals roam free.

But yesterday Lin Youyou said that he could only get a B grade at most.

Most likely, they haven't met the threshold standards yet.

However, Shen Jian could probably guess some of it.

In order to gain the company's favor, besides having potential recognized by everyone, one must also demonstrate that potential.

More importantly, do you possess commercial value?

A company needs to make money.

Only when companies see your value will they be willing to invest in you.

Celebrities are a product of the fan economy.

As long as the fan base is solid enough, everything will fall into place.

Therefore, we still need to change our persona more and find ways to gain more followers.

in the afternoon.

Shen Jian left the hotel.

I took a taxi to Yixin Entertainment Building.

After lunch break, there are a lot of people going back to work.

All the elevators were packed with people.

The only one that wasn't in line was the innermost one, and it just so happened that we were about to get on.

The elevator doors were about to close.

Shen Jian quickly had the receptionist swipe her card and then rushed over.

"Excuse me, just a moment."

The elevator, which was about to close, was stopped by his large hand and then reopened.

I just stepped inside.

Shen Jian sensed that something was off about the atmosphere inside.

Several pairs of eyes were looking at him strangely.

It's like watching an uninvited guest.

Shen Jian had always taken the staff elevator before, and this was the first time he had ever taken the one inside.

"It's alright, come in. Which floor are you on, handsome?"

A very distinctive voice came through.

Shen Jian looked up and saw a tall, powerful woman standing inside, giving him a half-smile.

Her presence made everyone else around her completely invisible.

"16nd floor."

"You're from Isshin too? I've never seen you before."

"Hello, Ms. Song Jia. I am a newly signed artist. My name is Shen Jian, and I'd like to meet you."

"..."

Shen Jian recognized the other person as Song Jia, the top female host of Yixin Entertainment.

He has some understanding of the entertainment industry.

This is not a new generation of top actresses; she belongs to the 80s generation and is a movie actress.

She recently won Best Actress at the Golden Lion Film Festival in Singapore.

He has both star power and real talent.

At this moment, Shen Jian's self-introduction made everyone else in the elevator laugh.

I want to see you?

This kid really dares to say that.

Song Jia was amused: "Want to see me? Well, you've seen me now."

Shen Jian didn't care about the stares of those around him.

The status of a top female entertainer in an entertainment company is unparalleled; it represents the highest level of resources, no matter where you are.

If you can get acquainted with them, you might be able to recommend a minor role to a director someday, which would be enough to make a living for a newcomer.

Of course, whether or not you are remembered by the other party depends entirely on luck.

Great efforts can produce miracles.

"I've met you. Can I add you on WeChat?"

Song Jia: "..."

Everyone: "..."

That's all for now.

Everyone was speechless.

I wondered if this newcomer was sick.

Even if someone has the thickest skin, they wouldn't just come up to the top star and ask for her WeChat.

Besides, do you think those big shots would even bother with you?

At this point, Song Jia was also a bit lost.

Although I found this handsome young man quite pleasing to the eye, I never thought of asking to add him on WeChat right away.

Even though the two work at the same company.

The company has many stars, and most of them don't keep in touch with each other.

"I refuse." Song Jia has a very easygoing temperament, and she is just like that in person. Even when facing the media, she is very open and says whatever she thinks.

"OK."

Upon hearing Song Jia's refusal, Shen Jian nodded naturally, his expression completely unwavering, without even a hint of embarrassment.

Adding someone on WeChat is all about probability.

Add it if you can, but you won't lose anything if you don't.

The people around him were also full of admiration; they had never seen such a shameless newcomer before.

How can you act so nonchalantly?

Ding.

The elevator doors opened.

Then I saw Yang Tianzhen waiting for me at the elevator entrance with a smile on her face.

"Sister Yang." Shen Jian stepped out of the elevator and opened his arms. "You're too kind. There was no need for you to come and pick me up personally."

"Get out of here."

"oh."

Yang Tianzhen bypassed Shen Jian and hugged Song Jia: "You're back, Great Actress! Did you have fun in Singapore?"

Song Jia smiled and nodded: "It's alright, but I was just thinking of coming back to spend some time with you, otherwise I would have stayed a few more days."

"Wow, winning Best Actress really changes things; even your speech has become sophisticated."

"Stop fooling around, let's go inside and talk."

"Um, wait a minute, why are you in the same elevator as this kid?"

Song Jia turned to Shen Jian: "Oh, what a coincidence, did you just sign that?"

Yang Tianzhen sighed: "The team and talent scouts found them in the online influencer circle."

"Oh? You're an internet celebrity?" Song Jia looked at Shen Jian in surprise.

Shen Jian quickly chimed in, "Yes, I'm a Douyin influencer."

Yang Tianzhen chuckled and said, "No, don't look at him. You'll be disappointed. That kid is crazy."

Song Jia agreed wholeheartedly: "Yeah, I've seen that before. They came up in the elevator just now and asked me for their WeChat."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Tianzhen turned and glared at Shen Jian: "Don't you know what 'shy' means? You want to go on WeChat? Do you think this is like following someone on Douyin or having a PK battle?"

Go to the meeting room and wait for me. Before I arrive, you'd better reflect on your actions!

finished,

Yang Tianzhen took Song Jia to the office.

Shen Jian then went to find Lin Youyou and the others.

...

"Why are you only arriving now?"

In the conference room, Lin Youyou and others were chatting.

Perhaps because they felt Shen Jian was about to sign a contract, they were all quite relaxed and ordered a lot of fruit.

Shen Jian: "I just saw Song Jia."

Lin Youyou: "You saw Sister Song Jia?"

Shen Jian: "Yes, I also asked for their WeChat in the elevator."

Lin Youyou: "Huh?"

Shen Jian: "But she didn't give it to me."

Lin Youyou: "..."

Zhang Shan: "..."

Li Si: "..."

The group of people were speechless.

I really don't know what I was expecting just now.

"Alright, wait for Sister Yang to come over in a bit, she'll talk to you about the company resource signing."

Actually, once Mercury airs, your performance evaluation won't be bad; it's just that it's a B-level resource, and the company has made some adjustments this year.

Shen Jian thought for a moment: "What about the A-type visa?"

Lin Youyou: "The A-level contract is an upgrade system. Usually, companies don't give newcomers an A-level contract right away, unless you are a top star poached from another company and have the ability to match A-level resources."

But you're a newcomer now. Even if you were given a leading role in a drama, you wouldn't be able to carry it.

So we start with C and B tier resource contracts, and then the company will automatically upgrade the project when the time is right.

After listening to Lin Youyou's more detailed explanation.

Shen Jianfang then understood the details.

Without saying anything more, he picked up the large durian on the table and sat down to wait quietly.

Half an hour later.

Yang Tianzhen pushed the door open and came in, followed by Song Jia, who was watching the commotion.

"Shen Jian, I told you to come here and reflect on your actions, and you're still eating?"

"Sister Yang, I truly know I was wrong. When I was reflecting on my actions just now, I almost wanted to kneel down."

Yang Tianzhen chuckled and said, "Then why aren't you kneeling? And why are you hiding a durian under your butt?"

Shen Jian said earnestly, "Sister Yang, a man's knees are worth their weight in gold, and even a durian can't pierce them. So I'm sitting here, reflecting on my painful experience."

[One more hilarious joke]

Song Jia: "Pfft, haha, this handsome young man is so funny, I suddenly want to add him on WeChat."

Yang Tianzhen: "..."

Lin Youyou: "..."
