Chapter 334: Two Varieties
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Zhen did not tell Yang Na about her meeting with Samir. On the one hand, this matter was still uncertain for the time being. On the other hand, this matter was confidential in the company, so she naturally could not tell anyone.
Yang Na was leaning against the sofa and eating fruits. She did not expect Lu Zhen to suddenly add her. The moment she saw the friend verification message, she was a little surprised. However, after becoming good friends, the two of them chatted very naturally and the atmosphere was very friendly.
Seeing Lu Zhen’s reply, Yang Na felt that Lu Zhen’s workload for the second half of the year was quite low. However, it was also possible that Lu Zhen had hidden some of her schedule. After all, they had just met, so there was no need for Lu Zhen to be too honest with her.
Yang Na looked at the ceiling and sat up straight. After thinking for a while, she said, “I’m participating in two variety shows. One is a show where guests interact with each other in the game, and the other is a show where celebrities return to the countryside to experience reality. Currently, there are positions for guests. Are you interested? If you are, I can talk to the director.”
Lu Zhen was a little surprised. Could it be that Yang Na wanted to invite her to participate in the variety show? Ever since Lu Zhen debuted, she had not participated in many variety shows, and Yang Na had not often appeared on variety shows before.
It was obvious that neither of them liked to participate in variety shows. It was inevitable to interact with many strangers when participating in variety
shows. For people with weak social skills or people who did not like to interact with strangers, this was simply torture.
Lu Zhen thought for a moment and joked, “Are you looking for company?”
Yang Na leaned against the sofa, a faint smile on her lips. “That’s right. I don’t know any of the other guests. If you come, I won’t be alone.”
In fact, when Yang Na mentioned this matter, she did not have much hope.
She was just expressing her goodwill. After the movie “Shackles” was aired, Yang Na’s popularity increased. The company also valued her more and more and found her some good variety resources.
Other than “Celebrity Performance Class 2”, the popularity and reputation of the two variety shows that Yang Na was about to participate in were very good. With Lu Zhen’s popularity, as long as Lu Zhen wanted to come to these two variety shows, Yang Na would casually mention it to the director. There was no reason for the director to disagree.
If Lu Zhen was willing to come, then as the middleman, Yang Na could be considered to have done Lu Zhen a favor. It was fine if Lu Zhen did not come. She would not lose anything by casually mentioning it. At the same time, she could express her goodwill and leave a good impression on Lu Zhen.
On the other side, Lu Zhen held her chin and thought seriously. Although Yang Na had only mentioned it casually, to Lu Zhen, her workload in the second half of the year was indeed not much.
If she was to participate in Samir’s movie, other than the early preparations, the actual filming time would be very short. After all, that role was only a small supporting role. It would not appear for more than five minutes and would be completed in a few days at most.
Could it be that Lu Zhen was so free in her free time?
Lu Zhen knew that she was very popular now. It was a good time to continue walking the path of a national. As long as she continued to show her face in front of the audience and make her presence known, her fans could completely reach a new level.
However, the company had currently arranged for her to take the route of filming domestically and overseas. The problem with this arrangement was that the movie that she had just finished filming would not be released until next year at least. Samir’s new movie and “Triple Threat” had yet to start filming, so the release date was even more uncertain.
Actors who took the movie route in the country would usually avoid taking on television dramas to avoid affecting their “class” in the audience’s hearts. There was a high chance that Lu Zhen would not film television dramas next and would focus on taking on movie scripts.
This created a very troublesome problem: Her exposure would quickly decrease, and her fan base would not be able to continue expanding.
In the past, Lu Zhen did not care much about popularity and exposure.
However, ever since she realized the merchandise attributes of actors and celebrities, her thoughts became much more rational. She was no longer so aloof and self-centered. Instead, she began to think more about the objective rules of the entertainment market and tried to follow them.
To an actor, ability, opportunity, and market value were the three important factors that determined an actor’s fate. In the past, Lu Zhen felt that if she had ability, good opportunities would naturally come knocking on her door. Popularity and exposure were the least important. That was just an undeserved reputation!
Right now, she simply wanted to give her past self two punches. You’re already in the entertainment industry, yet you still treat popularity and exposure as nothing.. Why are you so arrogant?
