I’m Really a Superstar

now.

It's a county town that's not too big or too small.

Just after eleven o'clock, Dong Shanshan returned to his hometown, but he was still lying in his small, cramped room. The walls were covered with some very shabby posters. It looked like they had been posted for several years, and some of the posters were yellowed. , the corners are curled up, and most of the furnishings in the house are objects from Dong Shanshan's junior and senior high school years. It can be seen that this is the place where she was born, but it must have been many years since she came back to live permanently.

Boom boom.

There was a knock on the bedroom door, very softly.

Dong Shanshan raised his head, "The door is unlocked."

Mother Dong opened the door and took a look inside, "Why aren't you up yet?"

"I've been busy doing shows these days, and I'm tired." Dong Shanshan stretched with a smile, wiggled her toes coquettishly, and said, "Mom, give me a squeeze on your legs."

Mother Dong sat down on her little bed and pinched her daughter twice.

"It's so comfortable. My mother is the only one in the world who feels better." Dong Shanshan smiled.

Mother Dong looked at her and said, "Tell me the truth. Did something go wrong at work when you came back this time?"

"No, my work is going well, and my boss is taking good care of me. Aren't you worried when I come back? You and I will go home and see my dad. I'll stay here for a while and then I'll leave. It just so happens that the old show has finished airing now. I'll start after I get back." I’m doing a new column, so don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” Dong Shanshan said.

Mother Dong shook her head, "I gave birth to you. I pooped and peed until you were big. I can't tell if you are okay or not? Every time I ask you something, you always say yes and say you are safe. The more you say that to me, Sometimes your dad and I get more and more worried because we don’t know which of your words is true or how you are doing. Compared with this, we want to hear you tell the truth more. Tell your mom, is it true this time? Are you in trouble?"

Father Dong also came in from outside, "If you can't, go home. Don't leave this time. You don't have to be a host if you study broadcasting. How many of your classmates have actually become hosts? This industry is too bad." After all, our family is just ordinary people, not as good as those with connections."

Dong Shanshan said: "But I just want to develop in the hosting industry. I have never wavered in this idea, and I am doing well now. My career has just started. Although, online TV stations have more influence than traditional TV stations. It’s several levels behind the audience base, but you can’t eat up one bite, right? You have to take it one step at a time. I’ve just achieved some results, and you’re going to ask me to give up? Haha, that won’t work.”

Father Dong said: "Then what do you mean by coming back this time?"

Mother Dong also said anxiously: "Shanshan, can you tell us the truth?"

After a while of silence, Dong Shanshan smoothed the ponytail tied casually behind her head and said: "Okay, I said, this time we had a quarrel with the network TV station. I resigned. I submitted a lot of resumes but couldn't get any results." Stop calling some TV stations in China that are recruiting hosts. Larger TV stations or satellite TV stations don’t pay attention to me at all. My resume is in vain. They all think that I am not qualified enough and not famous enough. I submit my resume to smaller local TV stations. Several local TV stations also considered me, but after several exchanges, it still didn't work out. Those local TV stations didn't have high ratings, and they didn't plan to do variety shows, so they didn't need a host of my type and style. Man, so I came back. The rent in Shanghai is too expensive. It costs upwards of several thousand a month. I can’t afford it. I thought I’d go home and wait.” Then he smiled and said, “Well, that’s the truth. , you insisted on letting me say it.”

Father Dong said angrily: "Why don't they want you? Aren't you also doing a good job on the local channel?"

"They thought there was no suitable column for me.

"Dong Shanshan shrugged, "Although I also said that I am particularly willing to try some new programs, even if it is not a variety show, even if it is a cooking column, I will do it, but people still have that attitude. They have their own Think about it, don't take the chance. "

Dong's mother hummed: "Can you invite me to take risks? It's their loss if I don't invite you!"

Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "I think so too."

"You're still smiling, you can still laugh." Dong's mother said anxiously for her daughter: "Then what should I do now? Have you continued to submit your resume?"

Dong Shanshan said humbly: "I'm applying. Whenever I see a place that recruits hosts, I'll apply. Even online TV stations are not left behind. Now, I'm looking forward to a column for me as soon as possible. I finally saved up." Such fans and popularity can’t be lost. If you can’t get a hosting contract for a long time, when all this popularity is used up, you will have to start all over again in the future. The entertainment industry is so cruel.”

Father Dong immediately said: "It's okay. Your mother and I will raise you, so you can just live with your family in a down-to-earth manner."

"Thank you, dad. It's no problem to support yourself. The worst thing you can do is take on more commercial performances. Regardless of how much money you have, at least it's enough to eat." Dong Shanshan turned over, rolled her head on her mother's lap and lay down, " But that's not a long-term solution. Now..." I yawned, "I just want to find a decent hosting job."

Mother Dong stood up.

"What are you doing?" Dong Shanshan's head slipped and he lay down on the bed.

Dong's mother said, "I'll burn some incense and pray for you."

Dong Shanshan smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll all rely on my mother."

Father Dong was speechless, "Feng-jian-superstition!"

Dong's mother turned a deaf ear and went to the incense stand in the outer room. She lit the incense and inserted it, then began to mutter to herself, muttering something unknown.

Father Dong said to his daughter: "You don't stop her. She burns incense all day long, and the whole house is filled with the scent of sandalwood."

"My mother only has this little hobby, let her do it. If you don't let her get burned, she will have to worry about you." As Dong Shanshan was talking, the cell phone on the bedside rang.

Bursts of ringtones!

Looking at the number, it's an unknown caller.

Dong Shanshan turned over and sat up, leaning on the bedside. Not knowing who it was, she picked up the call, "Hello, hello."

There was a young man's voice over there, maybe in his twenties, or certainly in his thirties, "Hello, may I ask, is this the phone number for Teacher Dong Shanshan?"

Looking for me?

Have you received a reply on your resume?

Dong Shanshan immediately said: "Yes, I am, are you?"

Father Dong was also listening with his ears pricked up.

The young man smiled and said, "I am from the Human Resources Department of Beijing TV Station. My surname is Liu."

Hearing the other party's self-introduction, Dong Shanshan was also slightly startled, Beijing TV station? She didn't remember that she had submitted her resume.

Then, the young man said: "Teacher Shanshan, I would like to ask first, do you have a TV station contract now?"

Dong Shanshan said truthfully: "No, I have resigned."

Young man: "Then your agency..."

Dong Shanshan: "There is no agency either."

Young man: "Okay, if that's the case, it's much simpler."

Dong Shanshan didn't understand at all, "Tell me if you have anything to say."

"Okay, there are no contractual issues, so let me tell you straight, our Beijing TV channel, commonly known as BTV-1, would like to invite you to join the alliance!" the young man said in surprise.

Beijing TV station?

Or a satellite TV channel? ?

how could it be possible!

Dong Shanshan pondered for a long time, wondering if the caller was a scam, "Mr. Liu, if I remember correctly, I don't seem to have submitted my resume to your station?"

"Resume?" the young man said: "I don't know about that, Teacher Shanshan, we didn't find you through your resume. The specific situation is more complicated and I don't know much about it. It's just that the column team of the satellite TV channel asked us to contact you. We want to contact you." You cooperate, and you can talk to the person in charge and relevant personnel of the column group about specific matters such as programs. I don’t know much here, I only handle contracts.”

Dong Shanshan said in disbelief: "Beijing TV?"

The young man said: "Yes."

Dong Shanshan asked again: "What type of program is that?"

Young man: "It's a large-scale singing variety show."

Dong Shanshan: "What's the time slot?"

"It's Friday." Young man: "The prime time around nine o'clock on Friday."

Friday?

Satellite TV station?

A large variety show?

Or prime time? ?

Where can such a good thing come from!

Dong Shanshan was a little confused and felt that the caller was a scam. She had already made up her mind. As long as the caller asked her to pay money or transfer money, she would hang up!

"Then what do I need to do?" Dong Shanshan asked.

The young man said, "You...you don't need to do anything. I want to understand your wishes here first, and then we can talk about other things."

"I have no problem here!" Dong Shanshan said.

The young man smiled and said: "Okay, then we can talk about the rest. The current situation is like this. This new column has to be picked up in a hurry, so the recording time is tight. We are already preparing today and will start production tomorrow. So if possible, we'd better meet today to finalize the contract. You can see if your time is convenient and if you can come to the TV station today."

"Go to Beijing TV Station?"

"right."

After hearing this, Dong Shanshan knew that the other party was probably not a fraud.

Dong Shanshan said immediately: "I am out of town right now, not in the capital, but if I leave now, I should be able to reach the capital before the afternoon."

The young man said: "That's the best. Let me tell you about the contract first. What we have prepared for you is a 1+1 contract, with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan, excluding bonuses. Benefits and other benefits are all standard. There will be everything you need. Well, you can also think about it on the way here. If there are any dissatisfaction or other contract requirements, we will meet and talk about it. As long as it is related to the contract, I will be responsible for it. We are all responsible for it. We can talk about it. As for the requirements outside the contract regarding columns and the like, the column team can also talk to you."

Can we talk about anything?

Is everything negotiable?

This is too polite! ?

Dong Shanshan finally asked, "How many hosts are there?"

"There are two, a boy and a girl."

"Who is the other person?"

"It hasn't been decided yet. The column has just been launched. There are only two things decided now. One is the name of the program "I Love Memorizing Lyrics" and the other is the choice of the female host!"

The program is still blurry!

The female host has decided on me? ?
