Chapter 1446 Star Dream
"How about it, testicles are delicious, right?"
Chen En looked at Zhang Pin expectantly.
"It's OK, it's OK!"
Zhang Pin wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and looked around with lingering fear. Fortunately, no one was paying attention to this side.
He had no physical objection to eating animal testicles, but psychologically he would still feel a little embarrassed if others knew about it.
So Zhang Pin was very impressed that Chen En could walk around the street with a few strings of testicles and even advertise them openly.
"Okay, we're full. Cousin, don't you have to go to work this afternoon? Go to work quickly. We're going to continue shopping."
Shen Jiayi's behavior was clearly beyond the attitude of an ordinary girl when she was discovered by her parents.
Logically speaking, now that people have discovered that he is dating someone and they are communicating well, she should be looking forward to Zhang Pin's performance.
But at this moment, Shen Jiayi made it clear that she didn't want Zhang Pin to have too much contact with her cousin.
The main reason for this is that Shen Jiayi feels that her cousin poses too great a threat to her.
Yes.
As a girl who has aspired to marry a rich man since childhood, Shen Jiayi, although she is not very old, already knows everything she should know.
Shen Jiayi was self-aware and knew that the only advantage she had over her cousin was that she looked young and was still a virgin.
In addition, Chen En is far superior to himself in terms of appearance and figure.
The reason why she was in a hurry to separate from Chen En was naturally because she was worried that Zhang Pin would fall in love with her cousin.
"I didn't start work this afternoon. Humph, that dirty director wanted me to go to his room to read a script at night. It's so funny. I'm a stuntman and I have to read a script. It's like he thinks people don't know that he wants to take advantage of me. I'd better not do it."
Chen En is an actor. Of course, this is a nice way of saying it to the outside world. In reality, she is just a stand-in.
The entertainment industry's stand-ins include not only martial arts stand-ins, but also hand stand-ins, foot stand-ins, and stand-ins for some key parts. In short, these people can think of all kinds of weird and unimaginable things.
Especially for some big-name actors, their time is very precious. Many times, any scene that does not show their faces is shot using a stand-in.
"Ah - you lost your job again. It seems that the entertainment industry is really as the legend says. What are you going to do next?"
When Shen Jiayi heard that her cousin had lost her job again, she didn't bother to chase her away for a moment.
In fact, after Chen En entered the acting industry, Shen Jiayi herself had thought about becoming an actor.
Although the income and status of actors in Taiwan are not as high as those of actors and stars on the other side of the strait in recent years, they are also part of the high-income group.
More importantly, the actors and stars are glamorous enough.
For most people, becoming a celebrity would be a great honor to their family.
However, when she heard her cousin talking about the difficulties of being an actor, Shen Jiayi began to feel afraid again.
After all, my cousin has been working for several years. Her family originally thought that with her looks and figure, she might be able to become the leading actress in any minute.
But reality dealt them a cruel blow.
Chen En actually had a chance. When she was still a minor, a scout from Taiwan noticed her and wanted to help her debut as a star.
In fact, it was because of the scout's suggestion that Chen En took this path.
At the beginning, Chen En's parents felt that the conditions offered by the scout were too high. The other party wanted to sign a ten-year contract with Chen En, and the other party would take most of the profits.
So Chen En did not agree to the scout's request, but chose to strike out on his own.
Taiwan's economy is booming at this time, so its entertainment industry is naturally also very prosperous. In addition, with the example set by neighboring Hong Kong Island, Taiwan has quite a few talent shows.
Chen En had seen many news reports about stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan becoming famous overnight, so he naturally would not miss the opportunity of a talent show.
But she only saw the surface.
Whether it is Hong Kong Island or Taiwan Island, the entertainment industry is actually not that big in such a small place.
The examples of those so-called amateur actors who became famous are certainly real.
But there is another very crucial reason why they really became popular, and that is that they have financial backers pushing them.
Some people have sponsors before entering the entertainment industry, while others have sponsors after entering the entertainment industry.
In short, if there is no one behind or above you, then let alone becoming famous, you can’t even pass the registration stage.
After she rejected these requests, even though she had been in the entertainment industry for several years, she was still a stand-in and her face had never been revealed.
Even these substitute jobs often cannot last long.
In fact, the casting directors chose her to be a stand-in for other purposes.
"Hey, now I see clearly that it's not that easy to get into the entertainment industry. You have to be willing to sacrifice everything in your life to make it."
Chen En naturally had nothing to hide in front of his cousin.
"What should I do? I might as well just find a job and work."
When Shen Jiayi heard that it was so difficult to make it in the entertainment industry, she immediately tightened her grip on Jin Pin's arm.
For her, since it is so difficult to enter the entertainment industry, Zhang Pin is even more important.
After all, she had already given away her most precious things. If she lost Zhang Pin, she would be miserable.
"You want to be an actor?"
Hearing the conversation between Chen En and Shen Jiayi, Zhang Pin raised his head and looked at them in surprise.
It’s not that he was surprised that Chen En was an actor, but it was rare to meet someone who was an actor by profession in the world of movies.
"I don't want to be an actor, I want to be a big star."
At this moment, Chen En seriously corrected Zhang Pin's seriousness.
"Ah, what's the difference between this star and an actor?"
Zhang Pin thought about it, but didn't understand the difference between the two.
"Of course it's different. Actors act, and stars can sing, dance, or even write novels as long as they are famous."
Chen En suddenly felt a surge of vanity when he saw the performance of someone like Zhang Pin, who looked like an outsider.
She also went out of her way to help Zhang Pin explain the difference between the two.
"I see. It seems like it's not easy to do any job."
Zhang Pin was not actually interested in these things, but he did not attack the other party directly. Instead, he acted as if he had learned something and satisfied the other party's emotional values.
"Do you want to be a star too?"
After listening to this, Zhang Pin turned to look at Shen Jiayi. Seeing that the other party looked serious, he asked a question.
"Of course, who doesn't want to be a star? I heard that Teresa Teng's appearance fee was 100,000 US dollars."
Shen Jiayi did not hide her envy in front of Zhang Pin.
One hundred thousand . dollars converted into New Taiwan dollars is a full million. According to Taiwan’s current wage standards, it is enough for an ordinary person to earn more than 20 years.
The other party only needs to attend an event and sing one or two songs, which may take less than an hour.
With such a huge gap, it’s no wonder that everyone is eager to become a star.
"If you want to be one, then go for it. You'll earn a lot of money in advertising fees."
Regarding Shen Jiayi's ideal, Zhang Pin smiled and touched her head, then encouraged her dream.
In the end, Shen Jiayi stuck out her tongue in embarrassment: "Do you think being a star is so easy? I'd better study hard to get into college, find a job after graduation, or get married sooner..."
Shen Jiayi didn't finish her words, but her meaning was very clear.
"Why bother going to work? I'll earn money to support the family, and you'll just be responsible for looking beautiful."
Zhang Pin has always been very generous to his women.
"If you really want to be a star, I know a few friends, but you're too young now, wait until you're older."
He is very supportive of Shen Jiayi's hobbies.
With so many women around him, even if Zhang Pin has the best physical strength, it is often difficult to balance their time, so he is very supportive of women having their own work and hobbies.
"Thank you, husband."
When Shen Jiayi heard Zhang Pin's words, she suddenly felt like she had no bones and fell limply into his arms.
Zhang Pin's promise just hit Shen Jiayi's heart.
Her dream is to stop working and find a rich husband to support her.
When she met Zhang Pin this time, Shen Jiayi didn't even have time to pull or observe before she was eaten by Zhang Pin. In fact, Shen Jiayi was still very nervous inside.
After all, apart from knowing Zhang Pin's name, she knew nothing about him.
What’s more important is that Zhang Pin is not from Taiwan.
So she hoped that her cousin would leave early. In fact, she had another idea, which was to deepen her understanding of Zhang Pin.
Now that Zhang Pin can take the initiative to promise her a future, although it has not been realized yet, Shen Jiayi is very happy.
However, if she knew that the names Zhang Pinlian told her were fake, she would probably not be happy.
"Humph, you say that easily. It's not that easy to enter the entertainment industry. There is another thing you don't know. If a woman wants to enter, it is inevitable that she will be taken advantage of. Are you willing to let Jia Jia go?"
While Zhang Pin and Shen Jiayi were being affectionate with each other, Chen En standing by couldn't help feeling a little jealous.
She was naturally aware of her cousin's lofty ideals. Judging from Zhang Pin's conversation and performance, he seemed to be quite wealthy.
But because of this, she naturally did not believe Zhang Pin's words that the goal could be achieved as long as one was willing.
So naturally, what Chen En said was not so pleasant to hear.
Hearing Chen En's words, Shen Jiayi looked at Zhang Pin in panic, then shook her head:
"It doesn't matter. As long as we are together, I don't want to be a star. Besides, I can find a job myself."
She could tell the difference between the big and small Wang, and now she began to protect Zhang Pin's emotional value.
"Of course it's not okay to be taken advantage of, but as you said, celebrities are not actors. Besides, even if they are acting, they don't have a stand-in. Just let the stand-in do that kind of thing. Otherwise, how can you find a job, right?"
Chen En's words just now not only questioned Zhang Pin, but the key point was that she was also secretly trying to sow discord between Zhang Pin and Shen Jiayi.
Originally, because the other party was Shen Jiayi's cousin and a beauty, Zhang Pin would not bother to argue with her if she was just talking about himself.
But the other party added Shen Jiayi, so Zhang Pin didn't look at the other party well.
As a result, when Chen En heard Zhang Pin's implicit meaning of looking down on the stuntman, his face turned pale.
The reason why she hasn't given up even though she hasn't been able to make it in the entertainment industry for several years is that she obviously still has some illusions.
Now Zhang Pin's blunt words made her seem useless.
"Hmph, Jia Jia, your boyfriend is so arrogant, you better open your eyes. Although I haven't achieved much in the entertainment industry in recent years, I have happened to meet a lot of people who talk big but have no ability at all. What they are best at is taking advantage of others and then denying their mistakes."
After hearing Zhang Pin's words, Chen En immediately questioned Zhang Pin's ability.
"I believe you, and I don't actually want to be an actor."
In response to Chen En's reminder, Shen Jiayi clearly chose to stand on Zhang Pin's side.
She did not answer Chen En's words, but hugged Zhang Pin's arms even tighter.
Shen Jiayi had no choice. She had just let Zhang Pin sleep. If she got angry now, it would be a big loss.
From this point of view, Shen Jiayi is still sober enough.
Chen En: "Huh, Jia Jia, if you don't listen, don't blame me for telling my aunt and uncle."
Seeing that he seemed unable to deal with the two men, Chen En simply used his most powerful killer move.
"Cousin, you"
This move is still very lethal to Shen Jiayi.
After all, she hasn't graduated from junior high school yet and will go to college next. If her family really knew that she was dating, it would be very embarrassing for her as a student, especially if Zhang Pin felt pressured and things ran into trouble, which would be even more troublesome.
"What are you afraid of? There's a saying that goes, 'An ugly bride still has to meet her parents-in-law.' I'm a man, so do I have to hide from your parents all the time? Besides, you'll be going to college in the second half of the year. It's normal to have a date."
Compared to the inexperienced Shen Jiayi, Zhang Pin has enough experience in handling these matters.
So he patted Shen Jiayi on the head and said something that made the other person feel at ease.
"My cousin doesn't have any bad intentions. She is just worried about you."
Finally, Zhang Pin turned around and spoke well of Chen En.
With the ladder handed over by Zhang Pin, Chen En, who had secretly regretted after making the threat, nodded quickly.
Chen En: "I'm sorry, Jia Jia, what I said just now was a lie. I was just worried about you."
What she said was not false. After all, Shen Jiayi was her cousin, and they were family after all. Although she couldn't stand Zhang Pin's bragging, she had no intention of breaking them up.
"Cousin, please don't say bad things about my boyfriend in front of me. I believe in him, and I chose him. I can accept him no matter he is good or bad."
When Shen Jiayi heard what the two said, she raised her head and began to give instructions to Chen En seriously.
"Yes, yes, I won't say it again."
Chen En nodded quickly in response to Shen Jiayi's words.
Then she stood up and said, "Forget it, you two can just enjoy your own world. I'll go look for a new job. I'll pretend I didn't see you today."
After this interruption, Chen En suddenly lost the mood to stay with Shen Jiayi.
"How about it, testicles are delicious, right?"
Chen En looked at Zhang Pin expectantly.
"It's OK, it's OK!"
Zhang Pin wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and looked around with lingering fear. Fortunately, no one was paying attention to this side.
